Having grown up in northern Arizona with the Grand Canyon and the plateaus of Sedona in my backyard, I believed that the southwestern state was home to the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. I spent many a youthful day fantasizing that my cozy valley was a flatland base, protected all around by mountain titans and with an infinite blue sky that promised impossible potential for exploration. These scenes are permanently inprinted on my mind, forever the litmus test（试金石）for comparing the beauty of newly discovered sights. Thus far, no landscapes had come close.
That is, until I was invited to explore Guizhou province by the China Storyteller Partnerships Tour. Had someone articulately described how beautiful Guizhou can be in poetic detail, they would not have done it justice. There is no substitute for seeing with one's own eyes. I will attempt to do so here.
My father used to drag my brothers and me on yearly fishing trips around Arizona. We would compete to catch the largest fish, which we jokingly called "Jeffs". I recall sitting in a small boat in the middle of the lake, fishing pole limp in my impatient hands while my father attempted to share with me the whispers of the wind, a fish dancing on the surface of the lake or the majesty of a hawk hunting for prey overhead. On my trip to Guizhou I had the opportunity to kayak on Wanfeng lake. At one point I rested, floating at the center of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and taking in the surrounding karst mountains. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father's fishing musings.
During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artwork of the Bouyei ethnic group. They use dyes produced from local plants to make clothing of striking blues and greens, and blankets. Local elders still practice weaving with wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren. The history here is palpable, one could reach out and touch it, breathe it, even. My mother loved to decorate our home with paintings, jewelry and pottery. The designs were ancient, and carried tangible wisdom within them. This Earth is our home, and we celebrate its wonders. I caught that same feeling while gazing upon the art on display in Xingyi.
24. What did the author think about the most beautiful landscapes initially
A. They were highly similar. B. They were hard to access.
C. They were located in Arizona. D. They were situated in Guizhou.
25. What does the author learn from his experience in Xingyi
A. The preservation of cultural traditions.
B. The appreciation of the Earth wonders.
C. The similarity between Arizona and Guizhou.
D. The secret of the Bouyei ethnic group's artwork.
26. Which one can describe the author's feeling about Guizhou tour
A. Regretful but excited. B. Lonely and homesick.
C. Familiar but upset. D. Surprised and content.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. The deepest affection for my parents. B. A discovery of Chinese ethnic culture.
C. A tour bringing me back to my childhood. D. My harvest away from my hometown Arizona.
C
Like a moth to the flame, many scientists and poets have long assumed that flying insects were simply, inescapably drawn to bright lights. But that's not exactly what's going on, a new study suggests.
Rather than being attracted to light, researchers believe that artificial lights at night may actually confuse flying insects' inborn navigational systems, causing them to flutter in confusion around porch lamps, street lights and other artificial beacons.
"Insects have a navigational problem," said Tyson Hedrick, a biologist at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who was not involved in the research. "They're accustomed to using light as an indicator to know which way is up."
Insects do not fly directly toward a light source, but actually "tilt（倾斜）their backs toward the light," said Sam Fabian, an Imperial College London entomologist and co-author of the study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.
That would make sense if the strongest light source was in the sky. But in the presence of artificial lights, the result is midair confusion, not attraction.
For the study, researchers attached tiny sensors to moths and dragonflies in a laboratory to film "motion-capture" video of flight-similar to how filmmakers attach sensors to actors to track their movements. They also used high-resolution cameras to film insects swirling around lights at a field site in Costa Rica. This allowed them to study in detail how dragonflies will circle endlessly around light sources, positioning themselves with their backs facing the beams. They also documented that some insects will flip upside down—and often crash land—in the presence of lights that shine straight upward like search lights.
Insect flight was least disturbed by bright lights that shine straight downward, the researchers found. "For millions of years, insects oriented themselves by sensing that the sky is light, the ground is dark"—until people invented artificial lights, said Avalon Owens, a Harvard entomologist who was not involved in the research.
28. What's the function of the first paragraph
A. To overview the whole article. B. To introduce the main topic.
C. To raise a problem. D. To make a prediction.
29. What may be the attitude of Tyson Hedrick towards the new study
A. Interested. B. Proud. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
30. What method was used to study insects' flight patterns in the research
A. Using only theoretical models to analyze.
B. Observing insects only with the naked eye.
C. Studying insects' movements in complete darkness.
D. Attaching tiny equipment to capture their movements.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Insects are attracted to light because it is bright.
B. Bright lights contribute a lot to insects' flying.
C. Natural lights disturb insects' navigational systems.
D. Artificial lights puzzle insects' navigational systems.

When I first aspired to become a science writer, I imagined each day would be filled with inspiration and creativity. The reality, of course, is far less enjoyable than my fantasies. Researching a story, for example, often involves reading lots of dry and technical papers before I finally strike gold with the information that I seek.
Most professions, I imagine, include challenging but necessary tasks that sap enthusiasm. But a recent paper from Edward Lai at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and his colleagues may offer us all a way to boost our motivation. It is called the "easy addendum effect", and, as the name suggests, it involves ending each work session with a more pleasant task that will be relatively straightforward to complete.
The strategy was inspired by a phenomenon known as the "peak-end rule", which means we often judge events by the way they finish, rather than the overall experience. In one experiment, Daniel Kahneman and his colleagues asked participants to plunge their hands into water at unpleasantly cold temperatures, the first group simply in 14℃ water for 60 seconds, while the second one were given a further 30 seconds in water at 15℃. Surprisingly, most preferred the second option. It seems their memory of the experiment only focused on the last moments, which was slightly more pleasant in the 90-second set-up.
The research suggests that our impressions of work fall prey to the same preference—and we can use that to our advantage. Lai's team gave participants a series of dull tasks—from flexing their muscles against heavy weights to sorting books into alphabetical order or answering customer complaints. In each case, participants performed the tasks with or without an "easy addendum" attached to the end of the job. Those testing their strength were given a few extra rounds of lighter weights while those answering customer queries with some more straightforward requests.
Much like the ice-bath experiments, there was no logical reason why loading on additional work to an existing task should make it more pleasant overall. But the researchers found that the "easy addendums" significantly reduced the anticipated difficulty and increased participants` satisfaction with their jobs.
Since learning about Lai's research, I have tried applying this strategy to my own work. Writing is still my favourite part of the job, and so this article was a pleasant addendum to an otherwise demanding day of research for another one. By putting these words on the page, I feel far more energised about the work behind me—and readier to enjoy the evening ahead.
32. Which is the author's initial aspiration as a science writer
A. To enjoy a challenging and enjoyable career.
B. To have a daily routine filled with creativity.
C. To conduct research and write technical papers.
D. To strike gold with every story they research.
33. What does the underlined word "sap" mean in Paragraph 2
A. Weaken. B. Boost. C. Inspire. D. Refuse.
34. What can we infer from "the ice-bath experiments"
A. Participants could not bear 14°C longer than those could in 15℃.
B. Participants were unwilling to be loaded on additional work.
C. Participants usually cared more about the end of events.
D. Participants performed the tasks with an "easy addendum”.
35. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. No man is content if he or she is given more work.
B. "Easy addendum” can reduce difficulties in jobs.
C. One's pleasure comes through suffering in jobs.
D. "Easy addendum” can increase job satisfaction.

Tips for finding your life purpose
What does life purpose mean and, more importantly, how does one find and fulfill it 36 .Here is what I have learned so far along the way.

38
For whatever reason, we all feel enthusiastic about certain things in life. In order to live your life purpose, you must become completely immersed in whatever it is, which means it must be something you are highly interested in. Otherwise, it will be impossible to perform at the highest level.
Focus on what you can control
No matter how hard you try, no matter how much your actions may be based on intended or expected outcomes, you absolutely cannot control the results of your actions. The path to living your purpose is paved with good intentions and continual self-improvement. 39 , which means cultivating your mind, body and spirit to achieve your greatest potential and always acting with the best of intentions.
Embrace your creativity
We are all capable of producing something both original and of value to the world. Those two components—originality and value—make up the definition of creativity. 40 , and you will view the world and know the value your perspective can add. Of course, when you focus on cultivating your talents and immerse yourself in what you are passionate about, creativity comes easily.
A. Dig into the unique vision
B. Pursue your inner passions
C. Figure out your potential talent
D. It has been a long journey getting to this point

Dear schoolmates,
Recently, it is common to see some students often encounter issues related to network security due to lack of awareness, such as identity theft, data tracking and online cheating. Faced with the problem, I urge that we should take some effective measures.
First, we should stay away from illegal websites to avoid having our information shared deliberately. Furthermore, don’t register randomly on some websites, as this can protect our privacy. Most importantly, remember that people are often cheated due to greed. Therefore, never believe unexpected wealth. If you encounter such situation, stay calm and call the police if necessary.
Such measures can definitely reduce the issues. We would like all of you to attach importance to the Internet
