Wrking at a bank in New Yrk City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was nt living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted t d smething that felt imprtant.
Sme peple seeking meaning might read a self-help bk r perhaps vlunteer a few hurs a week. Sacks packed up her life and mved t Cnnecticut t participate in Adamah a farming prgram that fcuses n sustainable living and grwing sustainable fd. When she returned t New Yrk, her life was with a new purpse and many new skills t make her dreams a reality.
“One f the things that really stuck with me frm Adamah was hw little waste they prduced and hw they handled the waste they did have, primarily thrugh cmpsting(堆肥)” she says. The Adamah prgram pened Sacks’ eves t the damage cnsumer culture is ding n a lcal, natinal, and glbal level, and the need t find slutins. S in 2017 she began what she calls “trash walking”.
During turs arund her cmmunity, Sacks picks thrugh garbage t lk fr reusable items. Sn, her “trash walking” expanded t include crprate trash alng with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discvered a wide range f really great stuff—like clthing, decratins, and fd—all f which she dcuments n TikTk.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained ppularity fr her vides that highlight the prblems with cnsumerism. “The rt issue is verprductin, which leads t vercnsumptin, which leads t a large amunt f waste,” she says.
The fact is, cmpanies ften chse t trash items rather than give them away t peple wh might need them. A big reasn fr this waste is the way ur current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers wh destry gds can claim the cst as a lss n their taxes and be refunded. If they give away gds, they can claim nly a small amunt as a charitable reductin n their taxes.
Sacks’ main fcus is simply getting peple t pay attentin t hw many unnecessary things they buy and then thrw away. “Once yu becme aware f the way yu cnsume, yu can see ways yu imprve,” she says.
24. Why did Anna Sacks leave New Yrk?
A. T learn hw t grw fd.B. T pursue a mre meaningful life.
C. T realize her dream as a vlunteer.D. T accept the invitatin frm a prgram.
25. What impressed Anna Sacks mst abut the Adamah prgram?
A. The significance f trash walking.
B. The hard truth f cnsumer culture.
C. The sustainable fd peple prduced.
D. The way peple there dealt with the waste.
26. What makes cmpanies prefer t thrw ut gds as trash?
A. The tax refund.B. The tax reductin.
C. The verprductin.D. The pr quality f gds.
27. What can we learn frm Anna Sacks’ stry?
A. Cnsumer culture accunts fr wasting.
B. Crprate trash utweighs residential trash.
C. Turning t farming leads t sustainable living.
D. Trash walking is the key t becming wealthy.

In parts f Africa, peple cmmunicate with a wild bird-the greater hneyguide—t lcate bee habitats and harvest hney. It's a rare example f cperatin between humans and wild animals, and a ptential instance f cultural c-evlutin. Brian Wd and Claire Spttiswde were lead authrs n a study shwing hw this valuable partnership is maintained and varies acrss cultures.
“Our study demnstrates the bird's ability t learn distinct viced signals, expanding pssibilities fr mutually beneficial cperatin with peple,” Wd said. “Hneyguides seemingly knw the landscape well, gathering knwledge abut the lcatin f bee nests and sharing with peple wh are eager fr the bird's help,” Spttiswde said. The hneyguides als benefit frm lcating the clnies: They eat the leftver hneycmb.
Their study was dne in cperatin with the Hadza in Tanzania and the Ya cmmunity f Mzambique. The prir wrk in bth cmmunities dcumented differences in hw each culture attracts hneyguides. Amng the Hadza, a hney-hunter annunces a desire t partner with the bird by whistling. In Mzambique, Ya hney-hunters d s with a “Brr!” fllwed by a “hmm!”
Using mathematical mdels and audi playback experiments, the team studied these signals, their usefulness t peple and their impacts n birds. They experimentally expsed hneyguides t the same prerecrded sunds, hping t test whether hneyguides had learned t recgnize and prefer the specialized signals lcal hney-hunters used r were naturally attracted t all such signals. The hneyguides in Tanzania were ver three times mre likely t cperate when hearing the calls f lcal Hadza peple than the calls f “freign”" Ya. Thse in Mzambique were almst twice mre likely t cperate when hearing the lcal Ya call than the “freign Hadza whistles.
The study prpses that differences in hneyguide-attracting signals are nt randm, but make practical sense. While hney-hunting, bth the Hadza and Ya cme acrss mammals, but nly the Hadza hunt them, using bws and arrws. The Hadza’s hunting might explain the less ntable whistles they use. Filmed interviews shw Hadza hunters explaining they can escape being detected by their prey because their whistles “sund like birds.” Cntrarily, the signal the Ya use t cmmunicate with the hneyguide can help scare ff animals they find dangerus.
28.By cperating with hney-hunting cmmunities, hneyguides can ______.
A. have access t mre fdB. nest near human culture
C. lcate bee habitats easierD. becme familiar with the landscape
29. Why did the researchers use the same prerecrded signals?
A. T study their mathematical mdels.
B. T check if they are a natural preference.
C. T investigate their usefulness t humans.
D. T see if they increase birds' ability t find hney.
30. What can we learn frm Spttiswde and Wd's study?
A. The human-bird relatinship can change with new signals.
B. The Ya cmmunity hunts animals while lking fr bee nests.
C. The hneyguides are mre respnsive t calls frm the lcal peple.
D. The hneyguides are mre respnsive t calls frm lcal peple.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Hw mammals react t different signals.
B. Hw hunting techniques are applied t prey.
C. Hw whistles enable hneyguides t find targets.
D. Hw signals are assciated with hunting practice.

The Age f Infrmatin is bulging: if yu try t dwnlad all the data available tday, yu’d need mre than 180 millin years t d s. But yu are wrng t assume that all infrmatin wuld stimulate a bst f innvatin t match the utput f data Indeed. the last time we fund urselves in a perid f significant innvatin was ver 120 years ag, called the Age f Insight.
Innvatins, big r small start with a new idea. Often. these ideas ccur as a mment f insight—the result f a nvel cnnectin in ur brains made between existing and new infrmatin. Studies shw insights invlve quiet signals deep in the brain. Anything that helps us ntice quiet signals can increase the chance f insights. Hwever it’s becming mre challenging t find thse signals tday, every mment filled with an endless supply f cntent.
Besides, we als want t increase the quality f them t srt thrugh big new ideas and find the really valuable nes that can be hard t measure. Launched in 2015, the Eureka Scale (尤里卡量表)allws us t assess the strength f ur insight experiences n a five-pint scale, namely, intense emtins, mtivatin, memry advantage, aftershcks, and fllwing ideas. The Scale cmbines these five variables int a single value t define the imprtance f a new idea and has brad applicatins fr measuring and imprving individual and rganizatinal perfrmance. Even it can be used t measure the impact f different kinds f wrk envirnments and learning appraches n participants’ grwth. The level-5 insight, invlving the richest emtin, mtivatin, and lasting impact, hlds the greatest significance.
In rder fr rganizatins t benefit frm anther age f insight, it’s nt enugh t try t access mre data r increase the number f insights we generate. Instead, it’s abut making space fr the biggest ideas t emerge frm all the infrmatin. Using the Scale as a way t measure hw imprtant ideas are will enable better decisin-making tward practical and cmpetitive utcmes. If we’re t enter a new age f insight, we must make timely and necessary changes t design ur envirnments fr the best insight pssible t surface.
32.What des the underlined wrd “bulging” in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Appraching.B. Explding.C. Shifting.D. Updating.
33.Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing cases can increase the chance f insights?
A. By engaging in nging scial media interactins.
B. By relying n technlgy t receive regular ntices
C. By stepping away frm cmputers between meetings.
D. By participating in additinal training and caching sessins.
34. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. The Eureka Scale cntrls the influence f ur insights.
B. One with a level-5 insight has minimal emtinal respnses.
C. Bth the quantity and quality f insights are essential t innvatin.
D.A breakthrugh has been made in innvatin due t a wealth f infrmatin.
35. What is the authr’s attitude twards the current envirnment fr innvatins?
A. Uncertain.B. Optimistic.C. Uncncerned. D. Dissatisfied.

Wrking at a bank in New Yrk City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was nt living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted t d smething that felt imprtant.
Sme peple seeking meaning might read a self-help bk r perhaps vlunteer a few hurs a week. Sacks packed up her life and mved t Cnnecticut t participate in Adamah a farming prgram that fcuses n sustainable living and grwing sustainable fd. When she returned t New Yrk, her life was with a new purpse and many new skills t make her dreams a reality.
“One f the things that really stuck with me frm Adamah was hw little waste they prduced and hw they handled the waste they did have, primarily thrugh cmpsting(堆肥)” she says. The Adamah prgram pened Sacks’ eves t the damage cnsumer culture is ding n a lcal, natinal, and glbal level, and the need t find slutins. S in 2017 she began what she calls “trash walking”.
During turs arund her cmmunity, Sacks picks thrugh garbage t lk fr reusable items. Sn, her “trash walking” expanded t include crprate trash alng with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discvered a wide range f really great stuff—like clthing, decratins, and fd—all f which she dcuments n TikTk.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained ppularity fr her vides that highlight the prblems with cnsumerism. “The rt issue is verprductin, which leads t vercnsumptin, which leads t a large amunt f waste,” she says.
The fact is, cmpanies ften chse t trash items rather than give them away t peple wh might need them. A big reasn fr this waste is the way ur current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers wh destry gds can claim the cst as a lss n their taxes and be refunded. If they give away gds, they can claim nly a small amunt as a charitable reductin n their taxes.
Sacks’ main fcus is simply getting peple t pay attentin t hw many unnecessary things they buy and then thrw away. “Once yu becme aware f the way yu cnsume, yu can see ways yu imprve,” she says.
24. Why did Anna Sacks leave New Yrk?
A. T learn hw t grw fd.B. T pursue a mre meaningful life.
C. T realize her dream as a vlunteer.D. T accept the invitatin frm a prgram.
25. What impressed Anna Sacks mst abut the Adamah prgram?
A. The significance f trash walking.
B. The hard truth f cnsumer culture.
C. The sustainable fd peple prduced.
D. The way peple there dealt with the waste.
26. What makes cmpanies prefer t thrw ut gds as trash?
A. The tax refund.B. The tax reductin.
C. The verprductin.D. The pr quality f gds.
27. What can we learn frm Anna Sacks’ stry?
A. Cnsumer culture accunts fr wasting.
B. Crprate trash utweighs residential trash.
C. Turning t farming leads t sustainable living.
D. Trash walking is the key t becming wealthy.

In parts f Africa, peple cmmunicate with a wild bird-the greater hneyguide—t lcate bee habitats and harvest hney. It's a rare example f cperatin between humans and wild animals, and a ptential instance f cultural c-evlutin. Brian Wd and Claire Spttiswde were lead authrs n a study shwing hw this valuable partnership is maintained and varies acrss cultures.
“Our study demnstrates the bird's ability t learn distinct viced signals, expanding pssibilities fr mutually beneficial cperatin with peple,” Wd said. “Hneyguides seemingly knw the landscape well, gathering knwledge abut the lcatin f bee nests and sharing with peple wh are eager fr the bird's help,” Spttiswde said. The hneyguides als benefit frm lcating the clnies: They eat the leftver hneycmb.
Their study was dne in cperatin with the Hadza in Tanzania and the Ya cmmunity f Mzambique. The prir wrk in bth cmmunities dcumented differences in hw each culture attracts hneyguides. Amng the Hadza, a hney-hunter annunces a desire t partner with the bird by whistling. In Mzambique, Ya hney-hunters d s with a “Brr!” fllwed by a “hmm!”
Using mathematical mdels and audi playback experiments, the team studied these signals, their usefulness t peple and their impacts n birds. They experimentally expsed hneyguides t the same prerecrded sunds, hping t test whether hneyguides had learned t recgnize and prefer the specialized signals lcal hney-hunters used r were naturally attracted t all such signals. The hneyguides in Tanzania were ver three times mre likely t cperate when hearing the calls f lcal Hadza peple than the calls f “freign”" Ya. Thse in Mzambique were almst twice mre likely t cperate when hearing the lcal Ya call than the “freign Hadza whistles.
The study prpses that differences in hneyguide-attracting signals are nt randm, but make practical sense. While hney-hunting, bth the Hadza and Ya cme acrss mammals, but nly the Hadza hunt them, using bws and arrws. The Hadza’s hunting might explain the less ntable whistles they use. Filmed interviews shw Hadza hunters explaining they can escape being detected by their prey because their whistles “sund like birds.” Cntrarily, the signal the Ya use t cmmunicate with the hneyguide can help scare ff animals they find dangerus.
28.By cperating with hney-hunting cmmunities, hneyguides can ______.
A. have access t mre fdB. nest near human culture
C. lcate bee habitats easierD. becme familiar with the landscape
29. Why did the researchers use the same prerecrded signals?
A. T study their mathematical mdels.
B. T check if they are a natural preference.
C. T investigate their usefulness t humans.
D. T see if they increase birds' ability t find hney.
30. What can we learn frm Spttiswde and Wd's study?
A. The human-bird relatinship can change with new signals.
B. The Ya cmmunity hunts animals while lking fr bee nests.
C. The hneyguides are mre respnsive t calls frm the lcal peple.
D. The hneyguides are mre respnsive t calls frm lcal peple.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Hw mammals react t different signals.
B. Hw hunting techniques are applied t prey.
C. Hw whistles enable hneyguides t find targets.
D. Hw signals are assciated with hunting practice.

The Age f Infrmatin is bulging: if yu try t dwnlad all the data available tday, yu’d need mre than 180 millin years t d s. But yu are wrng t assume that all infrmatin wuld stimulate a bst f innvatin t match the utput f data Indeed. the last time we fund urselves in a perid f significant innvatin was ver 120 years ag, called the Age f Insight.
Innvatins, big r small start with a new idea. Often. these ideas ccur as a mment f insight—the result f a nvel cnnectin in ur brains made between existing and new infrmatin. Studies shw insights invlve quiet signals deep in the brain. Anything that helps us ntice quiet signals can increase the chance f insights. Hwever it’s becming mre challenging t find thse signals tday, every mment filled with an endless supply f cntent.
Besides, we als want t increase the quality f them t srt thrugh big new ideas and find the really valuable nes that can be hard t measure. Launched in 2015, the Eureka Scale (尤里卡量表)allws us t assess the strength f ur insight experiences n a five-pint scale, namely, intense emtins, mtivatin, memry advantage, aftershcks, and fllwing ideas. The Scale cmbines these five variables int a single value t define the imprtance f a new idea and has brad applicatins fr measuring and imprving individual and rganizatinal perfrmance. Even it can be used t measure the impact f different kinds f wrk envirnments and learning appraches n participants’ grwth. The level-5 insight, invlving the richest emtin, mtivatin, and lasting impact, hlds the greatest significance.
In rder fr rganizatins t benefit frm anther age f insight, it’s nt enugh t try t access mre data r increase the number f insights we generate. Instead, it’s abut making space fr the biggest ideas t emerge frm all the infrmatin. Using the Scale as a way t measure hw imprtant ideas are will enable better decisin-making tward practical and cmpetitive utcmes. If we’re t enter a new age f insight, we must make timely and necessary changes t design ur envirnments fr the best insight pssible t surface.
32.What des the underlined wrd “bulging” in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Appraching.B. Explding.C. Shifting.D. Updating.
33.Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing cases can increase the chance f insights?
A. By engaging in nging scial media interactins.
B. By relying n technlgy t receive regular ntices
C. By stepping away frm cmputers between meetings.
D. By participating in additinal training and caching sessins.
34. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. The Eureka Scale cntrls the influence f ur insights.
B. One with a level-5 insight has minimal emtinal respnses.
C. Bth the quantity and quality f insights are essential t innvatin.
D.A breakthrugh has been made in innvatin due t a wealth f infrmatin.
35. What is the authr’s attitude twards the current envirnment fr innvatins?
A. Uncertain.B. Optimistic.C. Uncncerned. D. Dissatisfied.
