When he flagged me dwn, I thught he was an elder cllecting a “custms fee”, the few dllars it csts t use village rads that lead t many f Sama’s sights. He’d been sitting lazily in a greying radside shack (棚子) built fr such ccasins.
Nrmally I wuldn’t pick up a free rider. But I tried t live ut a dream.
I’d wanted t g t Pulemelei Mund since I’d heard it mentined in an archaelgy class years ag. The “mund” is actually a pyramid 40 feet high and rughly 200 feet acrss at its base. S, I asked, “D yu knw hw t get t Pulemelei Mund? “
“Mmm,” he said, raising his eyebrws in the classic Plynesian gesture fr “yes”. “I need t pick up my car at the mechanic but n hurry, I’ll take yu there first if yu want.”
Yu’d think that a giant pyramid wuld be a majr sight, r at least smething many peple had heard f, but it isn’t. My accidental friend’s raise f the eyebrws was the mst prmising prspect I’d had in a week.
We drve alng the rad in silence fr a few minutes. Then my new friend brke the silence and, meanwhile, my hpes. “I’ve never been t Pulemelei,” he said. “I’ve lived here but I never thught f ging.” My heart sank. But we pressed n, crssing a stream, walking thrugh waist-high grass, and then anther mile f ht walk until we fund a sign, There, barely visible, were the wrds: “Pulemelei Mund 150m”. The sign marked a dark tunnel f jungle. Then the path pened t rays f sunshine. We climbed. And then, magic. We were standing n tp f a Plynesian pyramid.
Just then, my friend, bviusly awed by what he saw, turned tward me, and placed his big Saman hands n my shulders. In the mst natural way, he bent dwn and kissed me gently n the cheek.
“Thank yu,” he said.
24. What’s the purpse f the Saman man flagging me dwn?
A. T thumb a ride. B. T ask fr directins.
C. T cllect a custms fee. D. T warn f a rad accident.
25. Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe the authr?
A. Infrmed but rigid. B. Hesitant but agreeable.
C. Skeptical and reserved. D. Curius and adventurus.
26. Why did the Saman man thank the authr in the end?
A. He had lived ut his dream. B. He was taken t the mechanic.
C. He enjyed the authr’s cmpany. D. He experienced the thrill f discvery.
27. What is the passage mainly abut?

My mther died f breast cancer when she was merely 50 in 1970. Afterwards, the cmment repeated mst ften was: “Yu’ll need t be careful fr the rest f yur life because it may have been passed t yu.” In 1994, the first ever breast cancer gene testing arrived. I jumped right t it and tested negative. I’m thankful fr the science that has given me this preventive screening (筛查) . Gd fr me, but is it gd fr everyne?
Here’s the catch. Research n genetic disease has been based mstly n Eurpean peple, like me. The same went t the mapping f the human genes. The prblem is that we knw little abut hw new treatments might wrk fr peple f ther races. If we diversify patients in clinical trials, we can realize the prmise f persnalized medicine fr everyne, nt just white patients. Faced with the unfair phenmena in medical research, what shuld we d t reslve the prblem?
Nt nly d we need mre diverse ppulatins participating in research, but we als need diversity amng bimedical researchers and medical prfessinals t make effrts. That makes research strnger and builds trust with diverse cmmunities. A medical team is wrking n this nw. They are building a diverse next generatin f gene editing researchers by teaching high schl and cmmunity cllege students frm different backgrunds abut prmising technlgies like gene editing t encurage them t becme future researchers. This srt f educatinal utreach can als help t build trust in the medical and research cmmunities. The team leader, Jhn Cper, PhD, has been utspken abut the current inequalities f delivering new technlgies t all peple at a fair cst.
Numerus scientists and medical leaders are wrking t change the situatin. While science wasn’t yet far enugh alng t save my mther, I have harvested the benefits f advanced research and s shuld we all.
28. What is the functin f paragraph 1?
A. T explain the cause f her mther’s cancer.
B. T shw her cncerns ver medical inequalities.
C. T indicate the side effects f genetic testing.
D. T emphasize the prgress in the medical field.
29. What des the underlined wrds “the catch” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. A previus study. B. An urgent appeal.
C. An underlying issue. D. A wrkable slutin.
30. What might enable new treatments t benefit all?
A. Cnducting research n genetic diseases.
B. Delivering speeches t interested students.
C. Building cnfidence in ptential medical researchers.
D. Ppularizing technlgies in varius cmmunities.
31. What is the authr’s attitude twards the advanced research?
A. Supprtive. B. Dismissive. C. Oppsed. D. Impartial.

Late last year, in the days befre the Dsakian electin, a vide featuring a well-knwn jurnalist and a key candidate circulated n scial netwrks. Hwever, it was abslutely faked (虚假). The Internatinal Press Institute has called this episde in Dsakia the first time that AI deep--fakesfake images, r vides generated by artificial intelligence--have influenced a natinal electin greatly.
Security experts cnsider misinfrmatin the biggest glbal risk recently—mre dangerus than war, and extreme weather events. A cnstant stream f peple is wrestling with this issue. Nw even ecnmists are jining in.
Ecnmist Iyan Smith, and thers cnduct a real-wrld experiment t see whether simple, lw-cst nudges, r interventins, can be effective. Instead f fcusing n the supply side f misinfrmatin like scial media platfrms, they pay attentin t the demand side: increasing ur capacity t identify the fake infrmatin.
The ecnmists split participants randmly int fur different grups. One grup was shwn a vide demnstrating a cnvincing jurney f tw peple frm tw different scial grups wh, befre interacting, express negative steretypes (刻板印象) abut the ther’s grup, vercming their differences and ultimately regretting unthinkingly using steretypes t dehumanize ne anther. Anther grup cmpleted a persnality test that shws them their cgnitive traits (认知特点) causing prejudice, hping t increase their self-awareness, and decrease their demand fr misinfrmatin. A third grup did bth while a cntrl grup did neither.
The ecnmists find the simple interventin f shwing the vide makes the participants ver 30 percent less likely t “cnsider fake news reliable”. But the persnality test has little effect. As fr participants ding bth, they were abut 31 percent less likely t view true headlines as reliable. In ther wrds, they became s skeptical that even the truth became suspect.
Smith and his clleagues are far frm the first schlars t fight misinfrmatin by helping peple t think mre critically. University f Weymuth psychlgist Lisa Kindle als advcates similar ways t help reject misinfrmatin in the wild.
32. What des the authr intend t d in the first tw paragraphs?
A. Highlight the risk f AI deepfakes. B. Discuss the glbal threat landscape.
C. Describe Dsakia’s electin utcme. D. Intrduce the cncept f misinfrmatin.
33. What is “an effective nudge” in Smith’s new study?
A. The cgnitive trait. B. The shrt vide.
C. The persnality test. D. The negative steretype.
34. What cnclusin can be drawn frm the study?
A. Vides reduce misinfrmatin. B. Deepfakes may discredit truth.
C. Misinfrmatin causes dehumanizatin. D. Persnality tests sharpen thinking skills.
35. What might be the best title fr the text?
A. Battling Fake News B. Deepfakes in Electins
C. The Spread f Misinfrmatin D. Expanding Thinking Capacity

If yu’re talking t smene and a third persn jins, turn yur bdy twards them slightly t include them and make them feel valued. 39 A single nd f the head is als a strng gesture f clness when listening t anther persn.
T build trust quickly? Try mirrring. Adpting a similar stance (站姿) t the persn yu are engaged with indicates yur interest and helps develp trust. Use this with cautin, thugh.
