In the 1970s,a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hmetwn and I began devting
my pcket mney t acquiring recrds.I swiftly develped an affectin fr Beethven's
Mnlight Snata,harbring dreams f perfrming that music myself.Despite the absence f a

pian at hme,there was ne at my grandmther's care hme,where I learned t play Beethven
by ear,with pigens cing and farmers wrking in the fields.It was truly magical.
Entering the Ryal Academy f Arts at 16 marked the beginning f my artistic jurney.In my 30s,I tk anther significant step in life —marriage.My wife wrked at Elephants Wrld,a reserve dedicated t the care f rescued dmestic elephants.These elephants have wrked fr humans all their life and many are blind r disabled frm being treated badly,s I wanted t make the effrt t carry smething heavy myself.Fr my 50th birthday,my wife successfully persuaded the manager t allw us t bring a pian int the reserve,bringing music t the
elephants'lives.
Initially,when I started playing,it was hard t hear the pian abve the sunds f nature and the elephants chewing grass.Hwever,everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned int my playing.It struck me that this elephant,trapped in a wrld f darkness, had a prfund lve fr music.Frm that mment n,there was n lnger any cncern abut disturbing their peace.We ccasinally film these perfrmances,and nw,we prudly have
nearly 700,000 YuTube subscribers.
I cntinue t play fr these elephants that run freely in the reserve,despite the cnstant ptential danger.Surprisingly,it's the mdy male elephants wh shw the mst fascinatin with the music.I firmly believe it has a calming effect.These elephants'breathing actually slws dwn when I play,which tells me they are relaxed and happy.I've even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing t Beethven's tunes.With their exceptinal hearing and the ability t sense vibratins ( 震 动 )thrugh their feel,I am cnvinced that elephants grasp the language f human expressin.This serves as a pwerful illustratin that music serves as a universal language,
cnnecting us all.
24.What mtivated the authr's early affectin fr music?
A.Expsure t Beethven's music.
B.Emplyment at Elephants Wrld.
C.Attendance at the Ryal Academy f Arts.
D.Pian teaching at his grandma's care hme.
25.What did the authr's 50th birthday celebratin symblize?

B.Suecessful fundraising fr the reserve.
C.A cmbinatin f music and care.
D.Persnal achievements in music.
26.What rle did music play in the lives f the elephants in the reserve?
A.Emtinal recvery. B.Physical exercise.
C.Financial supprt D.Artistic expressin.
27.Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the text?
A.Save the Mistreated Elephants B.Male Elephants:Mdy and Musical

While we aim t avid any appearance f baseless theries,it is ntewrthy t bserve the lngstanding practice f putting magnets( 磁 铁 )in cws,a phenmenn that has been carefully
unflding fr years.Why are farmers putting magnets in cws?
Knwn as cw magnets,the devices are placed inside cattle t deal with"hardware disease".Hardware Disease ccurs after an animal eats a metallic bject that then makes a hle in the wall f the reticulum,the secnd stmach rm in ruminant animals( 反 刍 动 物 ) .This issue arises frm the natural eating behavirs f these ruminants,similar t a persn at an unlimited fd event —quickly and eagerly large bites withut sufficient chewing.This fast-paced feeding apprach makes them tend t unintentinally cnsume metal pieces in their fd,
including brken farm machinery parts,nails and wires used in fencing,fr instance.
Metal bjects entering the reticulum may result in infectins,increased bdy temperatures, digestive prblems,and unease fr the animals.T address hardware disease,the main strategy is t prevent metal frm entering the catle's diet.Farmers have als adpted the methd f placing cw magnets int the stmach using either a stmach tube r a balling gun.The cw magnet attracts such bjects and prevents them frm becming fixed in the animal's tissue.These magnets,nce psitined,remain within the animals thrughut their lifespan,nly being
remved after death when the cws pass away r are prcessed fr meat.
Mseley,a Veterinary Medicine prfessr,states in a hardware disease resurce,“The magnet gathers freign metallic bjects,reducing the risk f making a hle in the reticulum.” Research shws a mild magnetic field affects a cw's small bld pathways,imprving
circulatin and aiding recvery withut significant impact n the cw r milk quality.
28.Why are magnets fed t cws?
A.T change feeding habits. B.T imprve the milk quality.
C.T prevent hardware disease. D.T enhance digestive system.
29.What is the main cause f hardware disease in ruminant animals?
A.Eating withut chewing. B.Taking magnets by mistake.
C.Sufficient chewing hard fd. D.Swallwing metals accidentally.
30.What is the authr's purpse in writing the passage?
A.T describe the histrical practice f putting magnets in cws.
B.T deny the adptin f cw magnets t enhance cattle health.
C.T discuss the influence f a mild magnetic field n milk quality.
D.T explain the reasn fr using magnets t prevent hardware disease.
31.What might be a lgical cntinuatin f the passage?
A.Investigating the brader applicatins f magnets.
B.Explring mre ptential benefits f cw magnets,
C.Discussing the alternative methds f caring fr cws.
D.Evaluating the lng-term effects f magnets n animals,

Glasgw University researchers have created a laser( 激 光 )camera using Al and quantum technlgies t remtely detect a persn's heartbeat,ptentially changing health mnitring. Prfessr Facci imagines varius applicatins,such as setting up this technlgy in shpping malls r fixing laser heart mnitrs in hmes.These mnitrs culd be part f an extensive system tracking different health aspects,such as bld pressure and slight changes in mvement,
indicating early signs f cnditins like Alzheimer's.
Mnitring a persn's heartbeat frm a distance hlds significant value,as it can detect irregularities like abnrmal heart rates,prviding crucial warnings f ptential heart issues.In cntrast t the traditinal use f stethscpes( 听 诊 器 ) ,this system vercmes limitatins assciated with prper stethscpe usage,such as the need fr training and the ptential
reductin f heartbeat signals.
The system develped by Facci and his team invlves high-speed cameras which can recrd images at speeds f 2,000 frames per secnd.A laser beam is shne n t the skin f a persn's thrat and the reflectins are used t measure exactly hw much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery( 动 脉 )expands and cntracts as bld is frced thrugh it.These
changes invlve mvements f nly a few billinths f a metre.
Such acuity is striking,thugh n its wn the tracking f these tiny changes wuld nt be enugh t track a heartbeat.Other,much larger mvements ccur n a persn's chest —frm
their breathing,fr example —which wuld fld signals frm their heartbeat.
“That is where AI cmes in,”Facci said.“We use advanced cmputing systems t separate ut everything except the vibratins caused by a persn's heartbeat.We knw the frequency range f the human heartbeat,and the AI fcuses n that.The prime use f this technlgy — which we hpe t have ready next year —will be t measure heartbeats easily and quickly
utside hspitals.The benefits culd be cnsiderable.”
32.What can the laser camera be used fr?
A.Imprving the usage f stethscpe.
B.Measuring bld pressure remtely.
C.Recrding images f the human thrat.
D.Detecting a persn's heartbeat frm a distance.
33.What des paragraph 3 fcus n as fr this system?
A.Hw it wrks. B.Where it is used.
C.Whm it benefits. D.What it is cmpsed f.
34.Which is clsest in meaning t “acuity”in paragraph 4?
A.Cnsistency. B.Sensitivity. C.Cmplexity. D.Intensity
35.What rle des AI play in this system?
A.T measure skin mvements. B.T recgnize heartbeat vibratins.
C.T recrd images at high speeds. D.T shine a laser beam n the skin.

I recently went SKYDIVING!It's smething I've been talking abut ding since last year,
but t be hnest,it was planned super last minute…like within a matter f a few weeks.
It all started when I ran int a friend f mine walking hme frm a lcal festival earlier this summer.We started chatting abut what we'd bth been up t this summer and smehw gt n the subject f bth being interested in ging skydiving smeday.My friend,Denny,said he'd be n bard if I really wanted t schedule a jump and I was s excited t finally have smene t g
with!
Later that night,we texted back and frth and decided n ur jump date a few weeks in the future.When the very Sunday came,we were bth FULL f excitement fr ur first skydiving experience.He had been bungee jumping befre and I'd dne my fair share f zip-lining,but
neither f us figured that either f thse f experiences wuld prepare us fr what we had in stre.
The drive there didn't happen withut a slight delay.As sn as we gt ff the thrugh-way n t the exit twards the small twn where the skydiving facility was,Denny's car started t
make a strange nise,frcing us t pull ver n a busy interstate(州际公路).
Only 20 minutes away frm WNY Skydiving(the place where we were ging),we discvered we had a flat tyre( 轮 胎 ) .At that pint,I felt pretty defeated.Our scheduled time was 4 pm — the last appintment time f the day —s I figured they wuldn't be able t wait fr r delay the
