The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality of impermanence: Everything is always changing.
Many people have tense relationships with change. They deny it, resist it or attempt to control it- the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety, and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way.
A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by a neuroscientist, Peter Sterling, and a biologist, Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change,” elegantly showing the concept’s double meaning: The way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.
The river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Societally, we’ve gone through a pandemic (大流行病), its economic decline and the widespread adoption of social media, the combination of which has shifted how we live and work. In our personal lives, we continue to do what we have always done: relocate, start jobs, quit jobs, change jobs, get promoted, experience illness, get married, have children, retire and on and on.
Finding ways in this river requires both ruggedness and flexibility. To be rugged is to be tough and determined, to know your core values and what you stand for. To be flexible is to actively respond to changing circumstances, to adapt and bend easily without breaking, to grow and even change your mind. Put these qualities together and the result is a great endurance, one that helps you maintain your strong core even in fragile moments. It allows you to step into allostasis’s cycle of order, disorder and reorder — which is, of course, one and the same with stepping into Heraclitus’s river —and to chart it skillfully and whenever possible, to your own benefit.
24.What do we know about allostasis
A.It is a contradictory concept. B.It tends to focus on change.
C.It advocates dynamic stability. D.It claims absolute adaptability.
25.Which of the following best explains “letting up” underlined in paragraph 4
A.Being pumped. B.Slowing down. C.Getting polluted. D.Rising up.
26.What will you gain from practicing allostasis according to the last paragraph
A.Popularity. B.Confidence. C.Recognition. D.Perseverance.
27.What is the best title for the passage
A.Say No to Stability B.Stop Resisting Change
C.Fight for Flexibility D.Balance Life and Work
C
Ever wondered why your partner is up with the lark (百灵鸟) while you are happily sleeping till noon It could be thanks to Neanderthal genes, according to a new study.
Scientists comparing ancient DNA with the genetics of modern humans discovered a “striking trend”, said John Capra, an epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the University of California in San Francisco. The researchers found that the Neanderthal genes that remain affect the body clock —increasing tendency to be a morning person.
Neanderthals lived at higher latitudes (纬度) than our ancestors who migrated from Africa一further away from the equator, with the days longer in summer and shorter in winter. “The gene that makes people early risers likely enables more rapid alignment (协调一致) of the circadian clock (生物钟) with changing seasonal light patterns, ”Dr Capra said, “when Neanderthals were able to make the most of daylight hours to hunt.”
Scientists have previously explored how the circadian rhythms of insects, plants,and fish have developed depending on latitude. But that hasn’t been well studied in humans. There searchers wanted to see whether there was a genetic reason for differences in circadian rhythms between Neanderthals and modern people, and found 16 variants (变异体) associated with greater“morningness”. They suspected that as Neanderthals and the ancestors of modern humans mated,people today could have followed Neanderthal“circadian variants”.
To test this,scientists analyse the genetics of several hundred thousand people from the UK Biobank and found many of the variants that affect sleep preference. “Most noticeably, they found that these variants increase morningness,”the researchers said. This is consistent with what has been found in other animals that have adapted to living at a high latitude, as Neanderthals did.
28.Why does the author mention “your partner is up with the lark”in paragraph 1
A.To introduce the following context.
B.To compare two morning life styles.
C.To praise those who get up early.
D.To express gratitude to Neanderthals.
29.What is the root for Neanderthals’ morningness according to paragraph 3
A.The capability of hunting animals. B.The genes from African ancestors.
C.The environment at higher latitudes. D.The daylight hours around their habitats.
30.What can be inferred in paragraph 4
A.Morningness in human is unlike that in plants.
B.Insects’ circadian rhythms are impacted by latitude.
C.Scientists have previously studied the genes of animals.
D.The genes of Neanderthals is the only reason for morningness.
31.How did researchers prove their subsection
A.By analyzing statistics of the subjects.
B.By observing people’s sleeping habits.
C.By interviewing participants in the experiment.
D.By comparing sleep preference among human and animals.
D
Whether exploring distant universe or dashing about a fantasy world, virtual reality has immersed humans in extraordinary places. Now, it seems, mice will be able to join us.
Researchers have developed a pair of virtual reality “goggles” that can bring the mice into various situations, from navigating mazes(导航迷宫) to experiencing the threat of natural enemies.
With a pair of lenses (镜片) and screens mounted on stands either side of a mouse’s head, the recently updated version of “goggles” provides each eye of mice with a 180-degreefield of view. The researchers placed the animals on a treadmill (跑步机) in front of a large screen displaying a digital scene, with their heads fixed to monitor the brain activities. This not only allows mice to see the virtual environment in 3D and gets rid of visual clues of the lab, but offers a way to present virtual images from above —for example, of a hovering hawk. This stimulation causes mice to freeze or flee the same as they react in real environment to survive a hungry bird attack in the wild. When the mice froze, activity from neurons(神经元) in their brains involved in navigation suggested they were in a different location from where they actually were. “It was as if they were thinking about where they would rather be —a safe, covered location up ahead.” Dombeck said, adding such results might help explain how imagination arises in the brain.
The team are also working to identify neurons involved in forming memories when mice navigate a maze, as well as which connections between them are improved to form memories. Answering these questions will help us understand how our brains know where we are in the world around us, how we form memories of those experiences, and ultimately how those memories are degraded in neurodegenerative diseases.
32.What might the mice see and do wearing “goggles”
A.It will always see a hawk in the fields. B.It will enjoy an amazing 3D fiction movie.
C.It will notice the surroundings in the lab. D.It will detect virtual dangers from above.
33.What does the underlined word “mounted” mean in paragraph 3
A.Be attached. B.Be displayed. C.Be collected. D.Be hatched.
34.What do research intend to achieve eventually through this research
A.To teach mice how to face the virtual reality by itself.
B.To study how imagination arises smoothly in the brain.
C.To remind mice how to escape from approaching dangers.
D.To explore how memories are degraded in neuron diseases.
35.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.Mice take pleasure in the virtual reality. B.Goggles on mice benefit brain research.
C.Goggles play a key role in the research. D.VR helps mice navigate mazes successfully.

Skateboarding, which is rooted in street culture and closely tied to lifestyles and attitudes of young people, is a sport that emphasizes freedom and personal techniques.
The 13-year-old girl, Cui, took up skateboarding in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow her to practice rollerblading, which she began as a 3-year-old. One day, her father, a skateboarding enthusiast, suggested “why not try skateboarding at home instead ” That day she stepped onto the board for the first time, “It felt incredibly smooth. It was love at first sight.” Cui exclaimed. Within a year, she was reaching podiums (领奖台) at professional-level events, In 2022, she ranked third in the women’s street event at the provincial games. She soon joined the provincial skateboarding team and underwent a more comprehensive and structured training program.
In skateboarding, injuries are unavoidable, but when discussing the pain and the setbacks, Cui displayed a level of resilience (适应力) beyond her age. “When I started skateboarding, I thought it was great fun. Later, I realized people sustain a lot of injuries while skateboarding. But that is where the spirit of skateboarding lies.” she said. Most of the time, getting injured is just part of the process, and she simply pushes through it and perseveres, she added.
Earlier this year, Cui secured the 30th spot in the women’s street event at the World Street Skateboarding Championships. Until Wednesday, the title of China’s youngest Asian Games gold medalist belonged to 15-year-old skateboarder Chen Ye, who won the men’s park event on Monday.
The street competition involves skaters performing daring tricks on a tough course that features rails and gaps. September 28, 2023, the big day for Cui came.

W: Hey, John. I’m surprised to see you here. What made you come tonight I thought you said you were busy when I asked yesterday. Did your plan to go to your grandparents’ house change
M: Well, I did say that originally. However, I want to be honest now and tell you that I lied to you. I really wanted to come tonight, but I was scared. I have never been on a roller coaster before.

【原文】
W: When I was younger I was in an organization called the Guides. Guides are girls who are between 10 and 14 who get together once a week to do things like having competitions and playing games and going camping. I really enjoyed being in the Guides. There’s a similar organization called the Scouts for boys although I think these days girls can be Scouts and maybe boys can be Guides — I’m not sure. Anyway I used to go camping quite a lot with Guides. I remember I went one weekend and it was the same weekend as my birthday and I was going to be 13 that weekend. We had a really good weekend. We cooked different things and we played games. We didn’t really get much sleep as you generally don’t when you’re sleeping in a tent with a lot of people at your age. You tend to stay up all night.
So on my birthday which was on Sunday, everybody sang Happy Birthday to me and they gave me a cake and they wrote a card for me and I had a really nice day. That evening I went home and I was so tired and I started to unpack my things. And then the doorbell rang and my friend arrived and then one by one — it was very strange — all of my friends arrived, and what had happened was my parents had organized a wonderful birthday party for me! I was so excited. We had a great time. We went bowling and it was really a day to remember.

25.词句猜测题。根据划线词组上一句“The river of change has been flowing mercilessly(变革的河流一直在无情地流淌)”可知,变化一直都在发生,由此可知,划线词组的意思和“停止、缓慢下来”相似。选项A“Being pumped (兴奋)”;选项B“Slowing down (慢下来)”;选项C“Getting polluted (被污染)”;选项D“Rising up (上升)”。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Put these qualities together and the result is a great endurance, one that helps you maintain your strong core even in fragile moments. It allows you to step into allostasis’s cycle of order, disorder and reorder—which is, of course, one and the same with stepping into Heraclitus’s river —and to chart it skillfully and whenever possible, to your own benefit.(把这些品质放在一起,结果是一个伟大的耐力,一个帮助你保持强大的核心,即使在脆弱的时刻。它能让你进入异稳态的有序、无序和再有序的循环——当然,这与踏入赫拉克利特的河流是一样的——并在可能的时候,为了你自己的利益,巧妙地绘制它的图表。)”可知,通过实践“allostasis”,我们可以通过拥抱变化并从中找到稳定性,可以获得出色的耐力和技巧性地规划自己的道路。故选D。
27.主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Many people have tense relationships with change. They deny it, resist it or attempt to control it- the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety, and burnout. (很多人对改变的态度都很紧张。他们否认、抵制或试图控制它——其结果几乎总是压力、焦虑和倦怠的结合。)”、第三段“It doesn’t have to be that way.(事情并不一定要这样。)”再结合全文内容可知,文章主要讨论了适应变化和在变化中找到稳定性的重要性,并强调了通过拥抱变化并从中找到稳定性,我们可以获得出色的耐力和技巧性地规划自己的道路。因此,最佳标题是选项B“Stop Resisting Change (停止抗拒变化)”。故选B。

【导语】本文是说明文。根据一项新的研究,尼安德特人的基因影响着生物钟的增加,使他们成为早起的人。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段“Ever wondered why your partner is up with the lark(百灵鸟)while you are happily sleeping till noon It could be thanks to Neanderthal genes ,according to a new study.(你有没有想过,为什么你的伴侣起得很早,而你却在快乐地睡到中午 根据一项新的研究,这可能要归功于尼安德特人的基因。)”可知,while表示对比,后面说到你睡到中午,你的伴侣不同,所以,作者提到“你的伴侣起得很早”是为了介绍下面的研究背景。故选A。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“Neanderthals lived at higher latitudes(纬度)than our ancestors who migrated from Africa一further away from the equator,with the days longer in summer and shorter in winter. ‘The gene that makes people early risers likely enables more rapid alignment (协调一致)of the circadian clock(生物钟)with changing seasonal light patterns,’Dr Capra said, ‘when Neanderthals were able to make the most of daylight hours to hunt.’(尼安德特人生活在比我们从非洲迁徙而来的祖先更高的纬度——远离赤道,夏季白昼更长,冬季白昼更短。卡普拉博士说:“使人们早起的基因可能使生物钟与季节光照模式的变化更迅速地保持一致,因为尼安德特人能够充分利用白天的时间打猎。)”可知,尼安德特人早晨起床的根源是高纬度地区的环境。故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段“Scientists have previously explored how the circadian rhythms of insects,plants,and fish have developed depending on latitude.(科学家们此前已经探索了昆虫、植物和鱼类的昼夜节律是如何随着纬度的变化而发展的。)”可知,昆虫的昼夜节律受到纬度的影响。故选B。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段“To test this,scientists analyse the genetics of several hundred thousand people from the UK Biobank and found many of the variants that affect sleep preference.“Most noticeably, they found that these variants increase morningness,”the researchers said.This is consistent with what has been found in other animals that have adapted to living at a high latitude,as Neanderthals did.(为了验证这一点,科学家们分析了英国生物银行几十万人的基因,发现了许多影响睡眠偏好的变异。研究人员说:“最值得注意的是,他们发现这些变异增加了早起的习惯。”这与其他适应高纬度生活的动物的发现是一致的,比如尼安德特人。)”可知,研究人员通过分析受试者的统计数据证明他们的分段。故选A。
32.D 33.A 34.D 35.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项给老鼠戴上护目镜,来研究大脑活动的研究,解释了研究开展的过程以及发现。
32.细节理解题。根据第三段“This not only allows mice to see the virtual environment in 3D and gets rid of visual clues of the lab, but offers a way to present virtual images from above —for example, of a hovering hawk. This stimulation causes mice to freeze or flee the same as they react in real environment to survive a hungry bird attack in the wild.(这不仅可以让老鼠看到3D的虚拟环境,摆脱实验室的视觉线索,而且还提供了一种从上面呈现虚拟图像的方法——例如,一只盘旋的鹰。这种刺激会使老鼠呆住或逃跑,就像它们在野外遇到饥饿的鸟袭击时的反应一样)”可知,戴着“护目镜”的老鼠将从上面探测到虚拟的危险。故选D。
33.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“on stands either side of a mouse’s head, the recently updated version of “goggles” provides each eye of mice with a 180-degreefield of view”可知,老鼠头部两侧的支架上安装有一对透镜和屏幕,最近更新的“护目镜”为老鼠的每只眼睛提供了180度的视野。故划线词意思是“安装”,故选A。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Answering these questions will help us understand how our brains know where we are in the world around us, how we form memories of those experiences, and ultimately how those memories are degraded in neurodegenerative diseases. (回答这些问题将帮助我们了解大脑如何知道我们在周围世界中的位置,我们如何形成这些经历的记忆,以及最终这些记忆如何在神经退行性疾病中退化)”可知,通过这项研究,研究最终想要探索神经元疾病中记忆是如何退化的。故选D。
35.主旨大意题。根据第三段““It was as if they were thinking about where they would rather be —a safe, covered location up ahead.” Dombeck said, adding such results might help explain how imagination arises in the brain.(“就好像他们在考虑他们更愿意呆在哪里——一个安全的、有掩护的地方。”他补充说,这些结果可能有助于解释想象力是如何在大脑中产生的)”结合文章主要介绍了一项给老鼠戴上护目镜,来研究大脑活动的研究,解释了研究开展的过程以及发现。可知,B选项“给老鼠戴上护目镜有利于大脑研究”最符合文章标题。故选B。
