Sylvain Saudan's skiing was so alarmingly ambitious that people struggled to believe his accomplishments were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir's 55-degree slope（斜坡）—with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall-on France's Aiguille de Blaitière mountain in 1967. Locals didn't trust that he'd really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the "skier of the impossible," Saudan sought out slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the peaks by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26, 500-foot summit of Pakistan's Gasherbrum I, searching for virgin areas in its natural state. "The first to dare something are the real adventurers," he said in 2016. "It's the first that counts."
Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn't have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades "seeking greater challenges and testing new methods," said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety precautions as he shot down Oregon's Mount Hood, Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal's Dhaulagiri.
Saudan completed his last major expedition in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut. He "spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary（讣告）writers," said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind. "There's really only one way out," he said: "Don't fall down."
24. How did people react to Saudan's achievement on the Spencer Couloir's 55-degree slope
A. They thought of him as a skiing pioneer. B. They considered it as a fact at once.
C. They were ignorant of it completely. D. They doubted it till evidence arrived.
25. Which of the following can best describe Saudan
A. Brave and generous. B. Adventurous and devoted.
C. Creative but timid. D. Reserved but famous.
26. Why did Saudan go skiing
A. To escape his past life as a laborer. B. To push himself to new limits.
C. To document adventures for fame. D. To test new skiing equipment.
27. What does The New York Times imply about Saudan
A. He faced extreme dangers in his career. B. He was cautious during his expeditions.
C. His skiing methods were widely accepted. D. His achievements were often questioned.

China has recently been offering visa-free entry for 15 days to citizens from a range of countries, mostly Western European ones like France, Germany and Spain. This program, starting last December, has continued to expand. Australia, New Zealand, and Poland were included last month. It is set to run through 2025. Additionally, citizens from over 50 countries, including the United States, can now enjoy visa-free transit, staying in China for 72 or 144 hours depending on their port of entry, provided they are traveling onward to another destination.
However, transit travelers must remain within certain areas. For instance, those flying into Shanghai can only explore the city and the neighboring provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. China has also promised to reduce logistical headaches for foreigners. The super apps, WeChat and AliPay, which most Chinese use for every aspect of daily life, can now be linked to international credit cards, not just Chinese ones. Moreover, in May, the government told hotels not to refuse foreign guests, which was once common.
In the first half of this year, there were 14.6 million arrivals from overseas, according to Chinese statistics. Most of them were visa-free. That's 2.5 times as many as China had during the same period last year, but well below the 24 million in the first half of 2019.
On a recent Friday in Shanghai, Luka Lefevre, 24, and Charlotte Collet, 21, were cramming as much sightseeing as possible into a 10—hour layover between Paris and Vietnam. They had visited Yu Garden, a temple complex, and were taking photos on East Nanjing Road, a major shopping street. But they had trouble using their phones to pay for things, and had to pay in cash.
Swiss students Maeline Lachaud and Nadia Hofmann praised the convenience of linking their credit cards to AliPay while traveling through Xi' an, Chongqing and now Shanghai, though Lachaud, a first-time visitor, admitted she relied heavily on Hofmann, who is majoring in Chinese studies and had visited China once before.
28. Which is true about the program in paragraph 1
A. It enables transit travelers to stay in any province.
B. It allows visa-free entry for 15 days to Europeans.
C. It started last December and extends till the end of 2025.
D. It provides 72 to 144-hour visa-free transit for travelers.
29. What do the underlined "logistical headaches" refer to in Paragraph 2
A. Challenges in booking hotels online in China.
B. Difficulties in finding tourist attractions in China.
C. Issues with traveling restrictions in certain areas.
D. Problems with using Chinese apps for payments.
30. What can be concluded about Luka and Charlotte in Shanghai
A. They had much time to explore the city. B. They had extensive knowledge of the city.
C. They made the most of their short layover. D. They made themselves escape from the city.
31. What's the best title for the text
A. How can tourists enjoy themselves in China
B. How is tourism affected by policies in China
C. What role do the apps play in China today
D. What's it like traveling to China these days
D
Dog owners often believe that their pets understand commands such as "sit" and "stay", and even associate words with their favorite objects. "Bring me your ball" will often result in exactly that.
But science has had trouble determining whether dogs and other animals truly create a mental image in their minds upon hearing the name of an object, a relationship with language called referential understanding, which would suggest a deeper understanding of language, like the kind that humans have.
A recent study conducted in Hungary, appearing in Current Biology, explores this issue. It involved 18 dogs and employed a non-invasive EEG procedure to measure their brain activity. Researchers played audio clips of their owners saying the names of objects, such as "ball" or "frisbee," and then showed the dogs either the corresponding object or a different one to see if dogs would show a distinct brain response when the object matched the word compared to when it did not.
Boros, a co-lead writer of the study, said "A different brain pattern appeared when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word compared to when it did not, indicating that they might create a mental image of the object upon hearing its name. That was previously unproven."
Lilla Magyari, another co-lead writer, noted that while other animals have shown some level of referential understanding, they often require extensive training. In contrast, the study suggests that in dogs, such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent. This finding supports that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans.
Despite the study's promising results, some experts are skeptical. Clive Wynne from Arizona State University argued on Facebook that the study only demonstrates dogs' responses to stimuli（刺激物）, rather than an understanding of specific words. He doubts whether dogs grasp the exact meaning of words.
Scientists believe the first dogs began to be kept by humans up to 30,000 years ago. The animals have lived closely alongside us ever since. However, whether this long history of cohabitation contributed to their ability to understand referential language remains an open question.
32. What does referential understanding refer to
A. Associating words with emotions. B. Responding actively to commands.
C. Forming mental images of objects. D. Learning objects through training.
33. How did researchers test dogs' brain responses
A. By using different audio tones. B. By adjusting shapes of objects.
C. By matching objects with words. D. By comparing different objects.
34. Which does Clive Wynne agree with about the study
A. It overestimates dogs' cognitive abilities.
B. It is widely accepted by the scientific field.
C. It proves dogs know specific words very well.
D. It provides a new insight about dogs' evolution.
35. What's the text mainly about
A. What dog owners' belief about their pets is.
B. What dogs' response to the different objects is.
C. Whether we can train dogs to follow commands.
D. Whether referential understanding exists in Dogs.

When I was told I needed glasses, I wasn't a bit surprised. I had been struggling with poor eyesight for a while, and it was starting to affect my schoolwork. My teacher repeatedly said that I couldn't complete my work accurately recently. It became clear to me that I simply couldn't see the blackboard well from the back of the classroom. I remembered how my deskmate had to read the notes aloud to me so that I could copy them down, like a parrot, which made me feel embarrassed and dependent on others.
Finally, I got my first pair of glasses. They had pink frames, and I was excited to show them off at school. I expected to look different in a good way, but reality was a far cry from what I imagined. The boys in my class laughed, hiding their faces and giving me mischievous smiles as they teased me. Although the girls said the glasses looked good on me, I knew they were just telling white lies.
Despite the teasing, wearing glasses changed my world. Everything looked clear, like stepping into a 3D movie. I could finally see the details I had been missing, and I felt at ease to see the blackboard clearly again. But after about a month, my excitement disappeared, and a sense of insecurity set in. I began to feel self-conscious about the glasses, and I would take them off whenever possible, hoping to fit in better. One day, my friend Zane, who didn't wear glasses but often borrowed notebooks from others after class, asked if she could try them on. I handed them to her. Immediately she put them on, her mouth dropped open.

（1）续写词数应为 150 个左右;

She looked around the classroom with the glasses on. ______________________________________________

My Daily Exercise in Summer Holiday
My daily exercise in summer holiday was a combination of outdoor and indoor activities.
On sunny days, I would go hiking in the mountains with my classmates. We would climb up the steep slopes, cross the clear streams, and enjoy the magnificent views from the top of the mountains. On rainy days, I would stay indoors and do some yoga or stretching exercises following the videos on the Internet, which allowed me to stay active and fit even when the weather was not so good.
Doing daily exercise in summer holiday has benefited me a lot. I will keep up working out regularly to stay healthy both mentally and physically.

She looked around the classroom with the glasses on. She couldn't believe how clear everything looked, and her genuine surprise made me realize that maybe wearing glasses wasn't such a bad thing after all. She kept saying how amazing it was to see the world so sharply, which made me smile. That moment helped me change the way I thought about my own glasses. For the first time, I didn't feel embarrassed about them. On Sunday, she invited me to go with her to get a pair of glasses.
On Monday, we walked into class, feeling different—more confident. Zane had her new glasses, and she was as happy as I had been when I first got mine. We both smiled, realizing how much had changed in such a short time. My classmates stopped teasing me after understanding the reason. Now, I'm proud to wear my glasses. With my vision clear, I could focus better in class, and my confidence started to grow. Together, Zane and I realize embracing what makes us different can actually make us stronger.

Hello, everyone- this is your headmaster, Mr. Dodson, speaking. I'm sure you've all noticed the snowstorm has become worse since we arrived here at 8 a. m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how heavy this storm would be. It was reported that there would be 5 cm of snow. But indeed, we currently have double that amount, and it's expected to become over 20cm by three o'clock. So, what does that mean It will require classes to end now, at 11 o’clock. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria; you may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you' re welcome to drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them what you're doing. It's quite a dangerous situation out there right now. And by this evening, we'll have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, wait for an announcement from our school bus driver, Jamie Johnson. He will tell you more information about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone-and please, stay safe out there.
