Many people are fascinated by the idea of being a journalist. They get to travel to different places, meet different people, and share their thoughts with a large audience. Peng Yixuan, studying digital media at the Communication University of China, has been a video journalist at China Daily for almost five years.
Peng is well-known for her vlogs recording big national events and taking the audience along for the ride. But the process of his becoming a famous vlogger was quite accidental. “When I came up with the idea of recording two sessions in the form of a vlog with just my phone in 2019, the others on my team felt unsure about it,” Peng said. “But we decided to give it a try, and it went viral.”
Compared with traditional media journalists, those in new media are “almighty (全能的)”. “From Script (脚本) writing to video editing, we need to be competitive in each step of the video-making process,” Peng said. “We also need to react fast to the latest news and think of what young people are curious about. Bringing the serious-natured national event closer to ordinary people is what I believe to be the reason for success.
Also, it’s important to “care”. Peng said that only when you actually care about the people and the topic you are covering will you make the interviewees open up and touch the hearts of your audience. “I’m an ENFP-an extroverted (外向的) person. I’m always curious about the lives of others and want to engage with them,” she said. Once, Peng tried to interview an ambassador. She saw him reject many journalists before her. “I knew I couldn’t simply ask him to do the interview.” Instead, she said, “Your outfit is so cool! Are these traditional clothes from your country ” That’s what got him to start talking to her.
Peng’s job makes her see the necessity and power of international communication. “I can feel the changes in Chinese media over the past few decades,” Peng said. “We went from telling stories from abroad to telling the world our stories. As a journalist, it’s my honour to be a part of it.”

What can a seal teach us about the deep ocean Plenty-as long as it’s wearing satellite-linked devices on its head. Clive McMahon, who works on an elephant seal tagging project at the University of Tasmania in Australia, said that deep-diving seals can provide scientists with a wealth of information on the structure of the ocean floor.
To gather this information, McMahon and his team attached small satellite-linked devices to seals. The devices took measurements of temperature and depth as the seals swam. Since 2004, McMahon’s team has tracked more than 500, 000 individual seal dives beneath the East Antarctic continental shelf, which is the edge of a continent that lies under the ocean.
“Given the remote nature of Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean, only a small part of the Antarctic continental shelf was surveyed by ships in the past,” McMahon said. “So the information available about this area is sparse.” But seals are helping scientists fill in the pieces to this puzzle. In July 2023, McMahon and his team published a study about their work with deep-diving seals in a scientific journal.
Information from seal dives is helping scientists understand how the ocean affects Antarctica’s role in global climate. “We found in some regions that more than 25 percent of previous estimates of the ocean depths were wrong.” said Mark Hindell, who also worked on the study. “We only know this now because the seals were diving hundreds of meters below those depths. In the most extreme cases, they dived more than 1, 000 meters (3,281feet) deeper than what we thought was the ‘ocean floor’”.
The data, or information, from the dives also revealed new underwater features, including troughs, which are long, wide and deep sunken areas in the ocean floor. Thanks to the seals, the scientists also found a deep canyon near the Vanderford Glacier, which is as low-moving river of ice hundreds or thousands of meters deep.
23. What is the main purpose of the article
A. Analyzing East Antarctic shelf’s geography.
B. Discussing ocean impacts on climate change.
C. Describing satellite devices in ocean research.
D. Introducing seals’ role in collecting ocean data.
24. Which is closest in meaning to “sparse” in paragraph 3
A. Limited. B. Plentiful. C. Complex. D. Unrelated.
25. Why is the seal-gathered data considered important
A. Seals dive deeper than other marine animals.
B. Seals are able to replace extensive ship surveys.
C. Seals are equipped with advanced technology in devices.
D. Seals access remote ocean areas beyond human’s knowledge.
26. What might the article continue talking about
A The impact of seal dives on ocean ecosystem research.
B. The challenges faced by scientists in tracking seal dives.
C. The significance of the newly discovered underwater features.
D. The applications of satellite-linked devices in other animal studies.
【答案】23. D 24. A 25. D 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海豹如何通过佩戴卫星连接设备来帮助科学家研究深海的情况。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“What can a seal teach us about the deep ocean Plenty-as long as it’s wearing satellite-linked devices on its head. Clive McMahon, who works on an elephant seal tagging project at the University of Tasmania in Australia, said that deep-diving seals can provide scientists with a wealth of information on the structure of the ocean floor.(海豹能告诉我们关于深海什么？只要它头上戴着与卫星相连的设备，就足够了。在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚大学从事象海豹标记项目的Clive McMahon说，深潜海豹可以为科学家提供有关海底结构的丰富信息。)”以及第二段“To gather this information, McMahon and his team attached small satellite-linked devices to seals. The devices took measurements of temperature and depth as the seals swam.(为了收集这些信息，McMahon和他的团队在海豹身上安装了小型卫星连接设备。这些设备在海豹游泳时测量温度和深度。)”，再结合全文内容可知，文章讨论了海豹如何通过佩戴与卫星相连的设备，为科学家提供有关深海的宝贵信息，包括温度、深度和水下特征。即本文的主要目的是介绍海豹在收集海洋数据中的作用。故选D。
【24题详解】
词义辨析题。根据划线单词上一句“Given the remote nature of Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean, only a small part of the Antarctic continental shelf was surveyed by ships in the past(考虑到南极洲和周围南大洋的偏远性质，过去只有一小部分南极大陆架被船只勘测过。)”可知，只有一小部分南极大陆架被船只勘测过，由此可推断，这个地区的可用信息不多。由此可知，划线单词和“很少、有限”相似。选项A“Limited(有限的)”；选项B “Plentiful(丰富的)”；选项C“Complex(复杂的)”；选项D“Unrelated(无关的)”。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Given the remote nature of Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean, only a small part of the Antarctic continental shelf was surveyed by ships in the past,” McMahon said. “So the information available about this area is sparse.” But seals are helping scientists fill in the pieces to this puzzle. (McMahon说：“考虑到南极洲和周围南大洋的偏远性质，过去只有一小部分南极大陆架被船只勘测过。因此，关于这一地区的可用信息很少。”但海豹正在帮助科学家们填补这个谜题的碎片。)”以及第四段“Information from seal dives is helping scientists understand how the ocean affects Antarctica’s role in global climate. “We found in some regions that more than 25 percent of previous estimates of the ocean depths were wrong.” said Mark Hindell, who also worked on the study. “We only know this now because the seals were diving hundreds of meters below those depths. In the most extreme cases, they dived more than 1, 000 meters (3,281feet) deeper than what we thought was the ‘ocean floor’”.(来自海豹潜水的信息帮助科学家了解海洋如何影响南极洲在全球气候中的作用。“我们发现，在一些地区，之前对海洋深度的估计有25%以上是错误的。”参与这项研究的Mark Hindell说。“我们现在才知道这一点，因为海豹在这些深度以下数百米的地方潜水。在最极端的情况下，他们比我们认为的‘海底’还要深1000多米(3281英尺)。”)”可知，海豹可以进入人类所知甚少的遥远海域，所以海豹收集的数据是很重要的。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The data, or information, from the dives also revealed new underwater features, including troughs, which are long, wide and deep sunken areas in the ocean floor. Thanks to the seals, the scientists also found a deep canyon near the Vanderford Glacier, which is as low-moving river of ice hundreds or thousands of meters deep.(来自潜水的数据或信息还揭示了新的水下特征，包括海底槽，即海底长、宽、深的沉没区域。多亏了海豹，科学家们还在Vanderford冰川附近发现了一个很深的峡谷，这条峡谷就像数百米或数千米深的低移动冰河。)”可知，最后一段介绍了科学家们通过海豹在Vanderford冰川附近发现了一个很深的峡谷，由此可推测，文章接下来可以分析这个新发现的意义。故选C。
D
“You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them.” Tara now says. It’s hard to understand these words until I read Tara Westover’s memoir Educated.
In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling.
Educated is an amazing story. I found it fascinating how it took studying philosophy and history in school for Tara to trust her own perception of the world. Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D.s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was.
Educated touches on the divides in our country: rural versus urban, college-educated versus not. Since she’s spent her whole life moving between these two worlds, I asked Tara what she thought. “I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.”
Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last.
27. How did Tara’s upbringing shape her worldview
A. It prepared her for a successful academic career.
B. It limited her access to education and critical thinking.
C. It encouraged her to embrace different perspectives and ideas.
D. It instilled in her a strong sense of independence and resilience.
28. Which could best describe Tara according to the text
A. Perseverant and honest. B. Talented and weak.
C. Cruel and accomplished. D. Romantic and determined.
29. According to Tara, what should education primarily involve
A. Exploring more of oneself and individual thoughts.
B. Following established social rules and regulations
C. Strengthening divisions and in equalities among people.
D. Obtaining certain rights and privileges to defeat others.
30. What is the text type of this passage
A. Autobiography. B. News report.
C. Persuasive essays. D. Book review.
【答案】27. B 28. A 29. A 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Tara Westover的自传体图书《Educated》，包括其主要内容、主题和作者的观点。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling.(在她的书《Educated》中，Tara在爱达荷州的农村长大。她的父亲认为世界末日即将来临，家庭应该尽可能少地与卫生和教育系统互动。重大的医疗危机没有得到治疗——她的母亲从未从脑部损伤中恢复过来。因为Tara和她的六个兄弟姐妹在他们父亲的垃圾场工作，他们没有一个人接受过适当的家庭教育。)”以及第三段“Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. (在17岁踏入教室之前，她的世界观完全是由父亲塑造的。直到她上了杨百翰大学，她才意识到，对于她父亲所说的事实，还有其他的看法。)”可知，Tara的成长环境限制了她接受教育和拥有批判性思维的机会。故选B。

I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was.(最终，她在剑桥大学获得了历史学博士学位。在Westover的七个兄弟姐妹中，有三个获得了博士学位。我认为他们的童年经历让他们变得坚强，并帮助他们坚持下去。当你见到Tara时，即使提到她童年的创伤，包括她遭受的身体虐待，她也从不残忍。她如此坦率地谈论自己曾经多么无知，这给我留下了深刻的印象。)”可推测，Tara是个有毅力、诚实的人。故选A。

I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.”(她说：“我担心教育正在成为一些人用来迫使别人屈服的大棒，或者成为人们感到傲慢的东西。我认为教育实际上只是一个自我发现的过程——培养自我意识和你的想法。我认为这是一种连接和平衡的伟大机制。”)”可知，Tara认为教育应该是一个自我发现的过程，应该培养自我意识和自己的想法。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last.( Tara自我发现的过程在《Educated》中被完美地捕捉到了。她是个有才华的作家，我想这本书不会是最后一本。)”以及全文内容可知，文章介绍了Tara Westover的自传体图书《Educated》，讨论了这本书的主题、信息和影响，以及作者对它的个人反思。并介绍了作者的成长经历，她的教育经历，以及她对教育的看法，因此这篇文章是一篇书评。故选D。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Building language skills doesn’t happen overnight, especially if you want to become a fluent speaker. However, there are some important tips and tricks that work for every learner.
1. Engage yourself in a language
Engagement is arguably the most effective way to learn a language. You should surround yourself with the language and listen to it as much as you can. Just try to speak the language in different situations, even if it’s not necessary. ____31____ If you don’t know the word, that would be a nice chance to look it up and learn something new.
2. Learn through context
If you’re learning a language, you should make sure that it’s based on natural dialogues and real-world situations. Contextual learning will help you guess the meaning from the context. ____32____ Learning about culture, people, and customs is an important part of acquiring language skills. And that’s really important, especially when you’re just starting out.
3. ____33____
Grammar is the foundation of every language and a system of rules that allow us to structure sentences. But people are often afraid of it or they find it dreadfully boring. ____34____ Instead, grammar can be taught through examples, stories, and, once again, context! In other words, you should see grammar in action. You shouldn’t only learn grammar rules but rather see them in usage.
As you can see, there are many ways to practice the language efficiently. ____35____ One thing is for sure: learning languages can and should be a fun and enjoyable experience.
A. Learn language rules systematically.
B. Don’t skip grammar — but do it differently.
C. You just need to find a method that works for you and keep at it.
D. For instance, if you’re making dinner, you can try to name each cuisine.
E. This is a great way to learn from locals while integrating in a new country.
F. It will also allow you to apply your knowledge and get valuable cultural insights.
G. Learning it doesn’t have to involve memorizing a bunch of rules from a textbook.
【答案】31. D 32. F 33. B 34. G 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文介绍了学习语言的三个重要技巧：积极参与、上下文学习和创新语法练习，旨在帮助读者高效提升语言能力。
【31题详解】
根据前文“Just try to speak the language in different situations, even if it’s not necessary.(试着在不同的场合说这门语言，即使没有必要)”可知，D项“For instance, if you’re making dinner, you can try to name each cuisine.(例如，如果你在做晚餐，你可以试着说出每道菜的名字)”是对前文提到的方法的具体举例，符合文意。故选D项。
【32题详解】
根据前文“Contextual learning will help you guess the meaning from the context.(语境学习将帮助你从语境中猜测意思)”可知，此处是在讲述语境学习的好处，所以F项“It will also allow you to apply your knowledge and get valuable cultural insights.(它还可以让你应用你的知识，并获得有价值的文化见解)”也是在讲述好处，符合文意。故选F项。
【33题详解】
分析设空，是本段的小标题，应是对本段的高度概括，根据后文“Grammar is the foundation of every language and a system of rules that allow us to structure sentences. But people are often afraid of it or they find it dreadfully boring.(语法是每门语言的基础，是一套规则系统，使我们能够组织句子。但是人们经常害怕它，或者他们觉得它非常无聊)”可知，本段主要讲述语法学习，所以B项“Don’t skip grammar — but do it differently.(不要跳过语法，但要用不同的方法)”是本段的小标题。故选B项。
【34题详解】
根据后文“Instead, grammar can be taught through examples, stories, and, once again, context!(相反，语法可以通过例子、故事和上下文来教授!)”可知，空处应和本句构成转折关系，讲述的是学习语法的方法，所以G项“Learning it doesn’t have to involve memorizing a bunch of rules from a textbook.(学习它并不需要背一堆课本上的规则)”符合文意，和后文构成转折关系。故选G项。
【35题详解】
根据前文“As you can see, there are many ways to practice the language efficiently.(正如你所看到的，有很多方法可以有效地练习语言)”可知，本段是对前文的总结，所以C项“You just need to find a method that works for you and keep at it.(你只需要找到一种适合你的方法，并坚持下去)”符合文意，属于总结性的句子，并承接上文。故选C项。

When I was four years old, I learned an important lesson about trust and water. It was a lesson I would carry with me for the rest of my life.
I remember those lazy summer days when my father and I used to play in the swimming pool. He was a giant in the water, his chest towering above the surface, while I struggled to keep my head above water. One day, he decided it was time to teach me how to swim. Here assured me, “Put your head underwater. It’s not scary, I promise.” But my four-year-old self was too afraid of the unknown depths. What if something happened to me down there I couldn’t take the risk. My father pointed to a distant flag and said, “Look at that flag!” As soon as I turned to look, his hands pushed my head beneath the water. For a brief moment, I couldn’t see or breathe. Then, just as quickly, he let go, and l emerged breathing for air. It was a memory that stayed with me.
A year later, during a family vacation in Miami when I was five, my father suggested we try the waterslide at the hotel pool. The slide was tall and full of twists and turns that made me dizzy just looking at it. He said, “Let’s go. If you’re scared, we can come back down.” I climbed to the top but refused to slide. I remembered his trick from the previous year. Unexpectedly, he lightly pushed me, and I went sliding down with a splash.
Over the years, with my father’s challenge and company, I tried various kinds of adventurous water sports, including surfing, sailing, and rafting. Gradually, I had turned from distrusting my father to trusting myself. As I turned 18, my father prepared a special gift for me, cliff-diving in Red Rocks, Arizona, where participants jumped off cliffs(悬崖) into bodies of water. After hours of flight and drive, we were there.
注意：1.续写次数应为80左右；
2.开头已给出。
I stood on a cliff, facing the deep sea and vast sky and preparing to jump.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I stood on a cliff, facing the deep sea and vast sky, preparing to jump. My heart raced with excitement and apprehension, recalling my father’s encouragement through the years. With a deep breath, I closed my eyes and took a step forward, surrendering to the unknown depths below. The rush of wind and adrenaline filled me as I plummeted towards the water. But amidst the fear, there was liberation, a feeling of breaking free. Emerging from the water, I surfaced with newfound confidence, grateful for the lessons learned and the bond with my father.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了自己在父亲的引导下，如何逐渐克服对未知和危险的恐惧，学会信任自己，并最终成长为一个敢于尝试各种冒险水上运动的人。

Throughout the past century. Canyon visitors are often surprised to learn that Grand Canyon sets no records for immense size. However, this landscape is defined as “grand” due to a combination of factors. The layers have been preserved almost perfectly. Nowhere else on Earth displays so many quantities of the planet’s history. The resulting landscape provides visitors with some of the most magnificent on the planet.
Scenic Spots
South Rim
There are trailhead of the Bright Angel Trail, historic buildings, and massive crowds. It is a popular stop for many travelers and provides an excellent point for viewing the canyon.
North Rim
With far fewer visitors, this area can be a great place to enjoy the peace and majesty (壮观) of the canyon. The main viewpoints are Bright Angel Point, Cape Royal, and Point Imperial.
Grand Canyon West
It is a viewpoint to overlook the last few miles of Grand Canyon. Activities include rafting trips on last few miles of whitewater and boat rides on the smooth waters of Lake Mead.
Havasupai Reservation
It is somewhat affected, the incredible canyon below the Supai Village is worth the visit. Visitors must park here and hike, ride, or fly to Supai near the waterfalls.
Transportation
By car
While the average distance across the canyon is only ten miles, there are no roads, meaning the trip by car is a five-hour drive of 215 miles. All private vehicles entering must pay a $35 entrance fee.
By bus
Bus is an option for customized travel times and locations, providing transportation at any time from any location with drivers that have expert knowledge of the Grand Canyon region.
By train
The train features a historic sightseeing during the way. However, it takes about twice as long as driving to the canyon. Individuals on a train must pay a $15 entrance fee.
16. What makes Grand Canyon “grand”
A. Immense size. B. Preserved layers.
C. Display of planet’s history. D. All of the above.
17. Which spot will attract people who are interested in watersports

Many people are fascinated by the idea of being a journalist. They get to travel to different places, meet different people, and share their thoughts with a large audience. Peng Yixuan, studying digital media at the Communication University of China, has been a video journalist at China Daily for almost five years.
Peng is well-known for her vlogs recording big national events and taking the audience along for the ride. But the process of his becoming a famous vlogger was quite accidental. “When I came up with the idea of recording two sessions in the form of a vlog with just my phone in 2019, the others on my team felt unsure about it,” Peng said. “But we decided to give it a try, and it went viral.”
Compared with traditional media journalists, those in new media are “almighty (全能的)”. “From Script (脚本) writing to video editing, we need to be competitive in each step of the video-making process,” Peng said. “We also need to react fast to the latest news and think of what young people are curious about. Bringing the serious-natured national event closer to ordinary people is what I believe to be the reason for success.
Also, it’s important to “care”. Peng said that only when you actually care about the people and the topic you are covering will you make the interviewees open up and touch the hearts of your audience. “I’m an ENFP-an extroverted (外向的) person. I’m always curious about the lives of others and want to engage with them,” she said. Once, Peng tried to interview an ambassador. She saw him reject many journalists before her. “I knew I couldn’t simply ask him to do the interview.” Instead, she said, “Your outfit is so cool! Are these traditional clothes from your country ” That’s what got him to start talking to her.
Peng’s job makes her see the necessity and power of international communication. “I can feel the changes in Chinese media over the past few decades,” Peng said. “We went from telling stories from abroad to telling the world our stories. As a journalist, it’s my honour to be a part of it.”
19. What do we know about Peng Yixuan
A. She starts her journalist career this year.
B. She is only good at video editing skills.
C. She always seeks interactions with others.
D She was sure that her vlog would go viral.
20. Which is NOT the reason for Peng’s success
A. News-audience engagement.

C. High writing and editing skill.
D. Curiosity towards young people.
21. Why did Peng Yixuan tell the story of interviewing an ambassador
A. To show she is an outgoing and careful person.
B. To illustrate the importance of care in interviewing.
C. To prove she has more advantages than other journalists.
D. To show she likes communicating and engaging with people.
22. Which can be a suitable title for the text

What can a seal teach us about the deep ocean Plenty-as long as it’s wearing satellite-linked devices on its head. Clive McMahon, who works on an elephant seal tagging project at the University of Tasmania in Australia, said that deep-diving seals can provide scientists with a wealth of information on the structure of the ocean floor.
To gather this information, McMahon and his team attached small satellite-linked devices to seals. The devices took measurements of temperature and depth as the seals swam. Since 2004, McMahon’s team has tracked more than 500, 000 individual seal dives beneath the East Antarctic continental shelf, which is the edge of a continent that lies under the ocean.
“Given the remote nature of Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean, only a small part of the Antarctic continental shelf was surveyed by ships in the past,” McMahon said. “So the information available about this area is sparse.” But seals are helping scientists fill in the pieces to this puzzle. In July 2023, McMahon and his team published a study about their work with deep-diving seals in a scientific journal.
Information from seal dives is helping scientists understand how the ocean affects Antarctica’s role in global climate. “We found in some regions that more than 25 percent of previous estimates of the ocean depths were wrong.” said Mark Hindell, who also worked on the study. “We only know this now because the seals were diving hundreds of meters below those depths. In the most extreme cases, they dived more than 1, 000 meters (3,281feet) deeper than what we thought was the ‘ocean floor’”.
The data, or information, from the dives also revealed new underwater features, including troughs, which are long, wide and deep sunken areas in the ocean floor. Thanks to the seals, the scientists also found a deep canyon near the Vanderford Glacier, which is as low-moving river of ice hundreds or thousands of meters deep.
23. What is the main purpose of the article
A. Analyzing East Antarctic shelf’s geography.
B. Discussing ocean impacts on climate change.
C. Describing satellite devices in ocean research.
D. Introducing seals’ role in collecting ocean data.
24. Which is closest in meaning to “sparse” in paragraph 3
A. Limited. B. Plentiful. C. Complex. D. Unrelated.
25. Why is the seal-gathered data considered important
A. Seals dive deeper than other marine animals.
B. Seals are able to replace extensive ship surveys.
C. Seals are equipped with advanced technology in devices.
D. Seals access remote ocean areas beyond human’s knowledge.
26. What might the article continue talking about
A. The impact of seal dives on ocean ecosystem research.
B The challenges faced by scientists in tracking seal dives.
C. The significance of the newly discovered underwater features.
D. The applications of satellite-linked devices in other animal studies.
D
“You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them.” Tara now says. It’s hard to understand these words until I read Tara Westover’s memoir Educated.
In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling.
Educated is an amazing story. I found it fascinating how it took studying philosophy and history in school for Tara to trust her own perception of the world. Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D.s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was.
Educated touches on the divides in our country: rural versus urban, college-educated versus not. Since she’s spent her whole life moving between these two worlds, I asked Tara what she thought. “I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.”
Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last.
27. How did Tara’s upbringing shape her worldview
A. It prepared her for a successful academic career.
B. It limited her access to education and critical thinking.
C. It encouraged her to embrace different perspectives and ideas.
D. It instilled in her a strong sense of independence and resilience.
28. Which could best describe Tara according to the text
A. Perseverant and honest. B. Talented and weak.
C. Cruel and accomplished. D. Romantic and determined.
29. According to Tara, what should education primarily involve
A Exploring more of oneself and individual thoughts.
B. Following established social rules and regulations
C. Strengthening divisions and in equalities among people.
D. Obtaining certain rights and privileges to defeat others.
30. What is the text type of this passage
A. Autobiography. B. News report.
C. Persuasive essays. D. Book review.

When I was four years old, I learned an important lesson about trust and water. It was a lesson I would carry with me for the rest of my life.
I remember those lazy summer days when my father and I used to play in the swimming pool. He was a giant in the water, his chest towering above the surface, while I struggled to keep my head above water. One day, he decided it was time to teach me how to swim. Here assured me, “Put your head underwater. It’s not scary, I promise.” But my four-year-old self was too afraid of the unknown depths. What if something happened to me down there I couldn’t take the risk. My father pointed to a distant flag and said, “Look at that flag!” As soon as I turned to look, his hands pushed my head beneath the water. For a brief moment, I couldn’t see or breathe. Then, just as quickly, he let go, and l emerged breathing for air. It was a memory that stayed with me.
A year later, during a family vacation in Miami when I was five, my father suggested we try the waterslide at the hotel pool. The slide was tall and full of twists and turns that made me dizzy just looking at it. He said, “Let’s go. If you’re scared, we can come back down.” I climbed to the top but refused to slide. I remembered his trick from the previous year. Unexpectedly, he lightly pushed me, and I went sliding down with a splash.
Over the years, with my father’s challenge and company, I tried various kinds of adventurous water sports, including surfing, sailing, and rafting. Gradually, I had turned from distrusting my father to trusting myself. As I turned 18, my father prepared a special gift for me, cliff-diving in Red Rocks, Arizona, where participants jumped off cliffs(悬崖) into bodies of water. After hours of flight and drive, we were there.
注意：1.续写次数应为80左右；
2.开头已给出。
I stood on a cliff, facing the deep sea and vast sky and preparing to jump.
