Using hypodermic needles to deliver drugs has been common for more than a century. The past hundred years have seen all manner of medical advances, yet the needle has stayed mostly unchanged. Although now available in a variety of different sizes，it remains a hollow（中空的），pointy tube.With luck，that may soon change.Researchers around the world are looking for ways to ease the passage of needles into the skin. Many have been inspired by nature.
An obvious source of ideas has been mosquitoes, which manage to take their blood meals almost painlessly.One reason is that the insects release anaesthetic（麻醉的）chemicals when they first puncture（刺穿）the skin.But another has to do with the shape and action of their mouthparts.
The point of a mosquito's mouthparts is serrated（锯齿状的）and softer at its tip.The insect stretches the skin of its target before biting, and shakes its mouthparts quickly as it pushes it in.All of this helps to reduce the force needed to puncture the skin. One paper, published in 2020 by a group of researchers in America and China,found that a mosquito-inspired needle required 27% less force than an ordinary one. And less puncture force means less pain.
Mosquito-inspired needles might also be useful for delicate procedures such as biopsies（活组织检查）.A paper from the University of Michigan, also published in 2020, found that the lower puncture force led to less movement of the sampling area, ensuring that the needles were guided accurately to the area,rather than missing the target.
For now,such devices remain restricted to labs. But there is a big market for better needles.According to the World Health Organization,around 16bn injections were given in 2018. With one person in four saying they suffer from trypanophobia, or a fear of needles, the savings on stickers and sweets for the brave souls who roll up their sleeves would be considerable.
24.Which contributes to mosquitoes' getting blood without causing pain
A.The sound they make before biting. B.The high speed of their action.
C.The special shape of their mouthparts. D.The small size of their mouthparts.
25.What can we learn about the mosquito-inspired needles from the text
A.They have been put on the market.
B.It's easier for them to get through the skin.
C.They required more puncture force than the ordinary ones.
D.The lower puncture force may cause them to miss the target.
26.What is the author's attitude towards the mosquito-inspired needles
A.Unclear. B.Tolerant. C.Positive D.Doubtful.
27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.The painless needles inspired by nature.
B.The application of the mosquito-inspired needles.
C.The latest medical advances made by researchers.
D.Mosquitoes' unique way to take the blood painlessly.

Here's a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more？ Surprisingly，the answer is Person B. This quirk（怪癖）of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn't care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him.What to do Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man's attitude and paved the way for their friendship.Franklin's takeaway:“He who has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”
Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance（失调）.It's difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don't like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.”
While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn't explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015study found that it was， rather， the affiliative（亲和的）motive that the requests convey. That is，we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans,and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others.This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension,we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It's in our genes.
Yet there is much we still don't know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable Asking to borrow a book is one thing;asking to borrow a car is another.
28.Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin's experience
A.To illustrate a dilemma in making choices.
B.To suggest a way of striking up friendships.
C.To stress the importance of strategic requests.
D.To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect.
29.What is a reason for people's tendency to like those asking for favors
A.Increasing the chance of getting help in return.
B.Reducing the tension caused by social contact.
C.Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts.
D.Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust.
30.What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4
A.Impolite. B.Selfless. C.Aggressive. D.Responsible.
31.What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect
A.It makes little sense. B.It applies to most cultures.
C.It has situational limitations. D.It has great practical significance.
D
At one time,our growing population was seen as central to wildlife extinction, resource exhaustion,pollution and environmental destruction. But today, our concerns shift to declining birth rates due to increased reproductive choice for women.
This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media,highlighting economic and senior care challenges. Lost in the conversation are the many positive aspects of an aging society, which is the result of people living healthier and longer lives, and common-sense realities like reduced needs for infrastructure and lower ecological impacts. Also lost is the fact that our population still grows by 80 million people every year.
And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming. In fact, increased emissions from population growth have canceled more than three quarters of the emissions saved through energy efficiency and renewables over the past three decades.
Yet,no matter how well documented the link between population and climate,lowering our population is notably absent from the conversation on solutions. Instead, the focus is on technology that will supposedly allow our entire growing population to enjoy the energy-intensive lifestyles now enjoyed by the rich,and with no climate impacts.
But “green” technology is not the solution it is advertised to be. Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil fuels.It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fossil fuel plants for the same amount of energy generated.
When global warming threatens to push billions into unsafe temperatures, it is no time to panic that we are adding fewer to those billions. In fact,declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth.
32.What can we learn from paragraph 2
A.The global population is decreasing every year.
B.The benefits of an aging society are overlooked.
C.The ecological environment is turning for the better.
D.The media make up misleading news about the population.
33.What is highlighted as a disadvantage of high birth rates
A.Reduced infrastructure needs. B.Increased greenhouse gas emissions.
C.A slowdown in economic growth. D.Challenges in senior care services.
34.Why is “green”technology questioned in the text
A.It is not popular around the world. B.It is unaffordable for poor regions.
C.It does damage to the ecosystem.
D.It has little effect on reducing pollution.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Aging Societies: A Global Crisis
B.The Mystery of “Green” Technology
C.The Trend of Population Growth
D.Declining Birth Rates: A Hopeful Sign

Flexible Thinking for Your Career
Does work ever leave you feeling stuck in a rut（一成不变）with limited opportunities to be creative？ 36 But is this even possible, and if so, how to improve your flexibility
Most jobs require the ability to problem-solve and cope with challenges, at least to a certain extent. 37 If that teacher is a flexible thinker,they will be able to adapt their classroom management,even if they haven't seen this situation before.
According to Leonard Mlodinow,author of Flexibility, flexible thinkers rely on idea generation and imagination. 38 “Flexible thinking is what you need when the circumstances change,and you are dealing with something new. It's not about following rules.” Therefore, instead of following the typical procedure for inducting a new student, the teacher might come up with a tailored response, based on prediction and previous experience.
39 According to Dr Lisa Feldman Barrett, it's all about exercising the brain. One way of doing this,she says,is through exposure to a variety of experiences which make it easier to adjust to new situations. A lot of companies now consider flexible thinking in the workplace, especially when it comes to design.Workspaces may have couches where workers can lie down and relax,giving them the space to come up with and process new ideas.
Mlodinow says it's very important to take time to daydream, listen to ideas and concepts you disagree with and spend time doing activities outside of your comfort zone. 40 So,if you want to make a change,you can become a flexible thinker too, with a little practice.
A.They are willing to experiment and take risks.
B.So,how can you become a more flexible thinker
C.To grow quickly, you might want to increase your brain's flexibility.
D.Imagine a teacher who has a new and very nervous student in their class.
E.Researchers have also identified numerous personality traits that are associated with creativity.
F.This will help you understand multiple points of view and become better in many different aspects of your career.
G.Our research also indicates that people can practice flexible thinking every day when they experience negative emotions.

Priority given to his schoolwork, he allocated enough time to it, thus ensuring his top position in the class. Meanwhile, after signing up for skateboarding classes, he sought guidance from experienced skateboarders, practiced diligently and became an active member of the skateboarding community. Besides, he also made it a routine to communicate regularly with his parents about his progress, sharing the techniques he learned and the friends he made in the skateboarding community.
With time, Jake’s parents became proud supporters of his skateboarding journey. They actively attended his competitions, cheered him on, and celebrated his achievements. They witnessed firsthand his improved time management and his ability to pursue his passion while maintaining academic focus. They also observed his growing happiness, determination and confidence built up by practicing skateboarding. Their initial concerns faded, replaced by pride and admiration for their son. By communicating openly with his parents and earning their understanding and trust, Jake successfully balanced his passion and academic performance.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何成为灵活的思考者。
36. 根据上文“Does work ever leave you feeling stuck in a rut (一成不变) with limited opportunities to be creative (工作是否曾经让你觉得墨守成规，缺乏发挥创造力的机会？)”以及后文“But is this even possible, and if so, how to improve your flexibility (但这可能吗？如果可能，如何提高你的灵活性呢？)”可知，上文提到了工作导致缺乏创造力的机会，结合后文提到了关于提高灵活性的疑问，可知本句主要说明了想要增加大脑的灵活性，C选项中flexibility对应后文flexibility。故C选项“为了快速成长，你可能想要增加大脑的灵活性”符合语境，故选C。

39. 根据后文“According to Dr Lisa Feldman Barrett, it’s all about exercising the brain. One way of doing this, she says, is through exposure to a variety of experiences which make it easier to adjust to new situations. A lot of companies now consider flexible thinking in the workplace, especially when it comes to design. Workspaces may have couches where workers can lie down and relax, giving them the space to come up with and process new ideas.(根据丽莎·费尔德曼·巴雷特博士的说法，这完全是为了锻炼大脑。她说，这样做的一种方法是通过接触各种各样的经历，使其更容易适应新环境。现在很多公司都在考虑工作场所的灵活思维，尤其是在设计方面。工作场所可能有沙发，员工可以躺下来放松，给他们空间来想出和处理新的想法)”可知，本段主要介绍了成为灵活思考者的方法，故B选项“那么，你怎样才能成为一个更灵活的思考者呢？”符合语境，故选B。
40. 根据上文“Mlodinow says it’s very important to take time to daydream, listen to ideas and concepts you disagree with and spend time doing activities outside of your comfort zone.(Mlodinow说，花时间做白日梦，倾听你不同意的想法和概念，花时间在你的舒适区之外的活动是非常重要的)”可知，上文提到要花时间做白日梦，倾听你不同意的想法和概念，花时间在你的舒适区之外的活动，故本句承接上文说明这么做的好处。故F选项“这将帮助你理解多种观点，并在职业生涯的许多不同方面变得更好”符合语境，故选F。

M: No, I will try my 1uck at a library. But I did find something interesting here: this book about life in Victorian England.
W: Good! This book is part of a “buy one, get one half-price” deal. Would you like to choose a second book
M That’s OK. thanks. I had a look, but there was nothing that caught my eye.
W: No problem. By the way, we often invite writers over to talk about their books and share some writing skills. Would you be interested
M: Lovely! Please tell me more.

M: Before we wrap up. do you have any advice for young architects out there
W: Absolutely. My advice to young architects is, first of all, ask yourself if architecture is what you really. really want to do more than anything else in the world. If it truly fires you up. then you’ve made the right choice. Go for it and live it every waking second of your 1ife
M: That’s quite a commitment. What if someone realizes architecture isn’t their ultimate passion
W: If you don’t believe in it that much, then it’s essential to switch to something new. It doesn’t matter what it is because, in 1ife, you'll find that everything has a creative aspect. Pursue what truly inspires you.
M Thank you so much for sharing that wisdom. I’m sure our viewers will find it incredibly helpful.
W: My pleasure. Thank you for having me.

W: Ben, did you get an invitation to Kelly’s party
M: Yes, I did. But I'm going to send my regrets. How about you, Tina
W: I'm trying to find an excuse not to attend, without hurting Kelly’s feelings. You know, loud party music always drives me crazy.
M: Couldn’t you just tell her that you have another engagement that night
W: I used that last time I turned down one of her invitations. I have to think of something else.
M: How about telling her that you have to prepare for an important test
W: I’ve used that one when she invited me to dinner last month. What are you going to tell Kelly when you decline her invitation
M: I’m going to extend an apology and just say that I can’t make it.
W: That’s it I never thought of just saying “no”.
M: Don’t you know that KISS—Keep It Simple, Stupid.
W: You’re right. Hey! Who are you calling stupid

W: Really exciting! My husband and I have only done hot pot maybe once or twice at home, but I was never good at it.
M: Don’t worry. I often show foreigners like you what to do with Beijing hot pot. First. the meat. This is really thinly sliced meat. We’ll just grasp one piece between the chopsticks. Like this.
W: Okay, got it. Then what
M: Put it into the boiling water and wave it back and forward a little. It’s going to cook in about eight seconds. Remember, don’t overcook it.
W: Oh, I see. That’s quick. Is this hot pot style common
M: Well, it’s unique. Our Beijing hot pot features fresh meat and light soup.
W: Wow. But the pot impresses me most. It’s so special! Oh, the meat is ready. What should I do next
M: Just put it into the saucer with Majiang.
W: Mm... delicious. Thank you for explaining everything.
M: My pleasure. I'll have to tidy tables now and don’t hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.
