Dear Peter,
I’m thrilled to hear about the “Cross-cultural Communication” event planned for the International Week. This initiative is incredibly meaningful as it equips students with practical skills to navigate cultural differences and promotes mutual respect in our diverse community.
For the event format, I suggest organizing cultural role-play sessions where students could act out real-life scenarios. For example, they might simulate gift-giving customs, such as politely refusing a gift in China versus accepting it immediately in Western cultures. This interactive approach would help participants understand subtle cultural nuances through firsthand experience. Additionally, a proverb exchange corner could be set up, encouraging students to share and compare sayings like the English “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” and the Chinese “入乡随俗 (rù xiāng suí sú)”. Such comparisons would reveal deep-rooted cultural values in an engaging way.
Both activities combine education with entertainment, ensuring active participation. Please feel free to contact me if you need assistance with preparations.
Best regards,
Li Hua

第二节（满分25）
Possible version:
Paragraph 1: Before I could react, the front door burst open, and she rushed toward me. A wave of panic surged through me. The way she had scolded me earlier made my heart race. I considered finding a hiding spot, but then I recalled the weak dogs which might have been mistreated by her. My anger flared, pushing aside my fear. I steeled myself to confront this cruel animal abuser. She quickly charged toward me. “You intruder! I told you to stay away!” she shouted. “Good thing I came—who knows how long you’d have kept abusing those dogs! I’m calling the police!” I yelled back, my voice trembling with fury. She froze, confusion and disbelief flashing across her face, “I didn't abuse them. I’ve been trying to save them.”
Paragraph 2: Hearing what Mrs. Harrington said, I breathed a sigh of relief. “Then why do you always come and go with two bags ” I asked in confusion. I had assumed she was disposing of mistreated dogs. Her eyes softened with a sense of vulnerability. “You don’t understand. These dogs were abandoned. I rescued them, but when I kept them outside, some dog haters poisoned them. I had no choice but to care for them secretly.” Shame flooded me. This old lady was actually a quiet guardian of the helpless. Without hesitation, I offered to help. Mrs. Harrington’s face lit up with gratitude, and for the first time she smiled warmly at me. The tension between us melted. That day, we were no longer strangers—we were allies in kindness.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由李胜熙博士领导的研究团队揭示了大脑如何根据人体是静止还是处于运动状态，对视觉和听觉进行不同的优先级排序的基本原理。研究通过对老鼠的实验得出结论，这一发现对理解和治疗感官处理障碍有重要意义。
【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“A research team, led by Dr. Lee Seung-Hee, Associate Director of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion.(由基础科学研究所（IBS）副主任李胜熙博士领导的一个研究小组，揭示了大脑如何根据我们是静止还是运动，对视觉和听觉进行不同优先级排序的基本原理)” 可知，李博士的研究主要关注身体状态（静止或运动）如何影响大脑对感官的关注重点。故选B。
【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段 “Understanding this process is particularly important for individuals with sensory processing disorders, such as autism or schizophrenia, where the brain may grapple with integrating sensory information effectively(了解这一过程对感觉处理障碍（如自闭症或精神分裂症）患者很重要，因为他们的大脑难以有效整合感觉信息)”可知，选项D与原文一致。A项（依赖听觉）和B项（移动速度）均未在文中提及，C项（无法处理任何感觉输入）过于绝对，故选D。

【35题详解】主旨大意题。全文核心是大脑如何根据行为状态（静止/运动）动态调整视觉和听觉的优先级。选项D（“大脑的感觉切换：视觉或听觉取决于运动”）最全面概括主题。A项（自闭症）是研究应用；B项（听觉作用）偏离重点；C项大脑如何处理运动相较于D项范围太宽泛，未能精准概括核心内容。故选D。
七选五
【答案】36. F 37. A 38. B 39. C 40. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人际关系中的爱恨交织现象及其应对策略。
【36题详解】上文“When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support.(当我想到我的朋友时，我大多充满了爱和温暖：我迫不及待地想再次见到他们，得到他们的关爱和支持)”说明作者想到朋友时，大多充满了爱和温暖。结合下文“In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.(心情好的时候，这些人能让我度过一个充满乐趣的夜晚，但心情不好的时候，他们会耗尽我所有的善意)”推知，空处和前文为转折关系，说明有些朋友给作者带来的是不同的感受。F项中的However表示转折，“stimulate quite different emotions”与上文的“filled with love and warmth”形成对比，说明有些朋友会激起不同的情感。所以F项“然而，有少数人激起了截然不同的情感——渴望和焦虑的混合体。”符合语境。故选F。
【37题详解】上文“Their ambivalence can come in many forms.(他们的矛盾心理可能以多种形式出现)”说明他们的矛盾心理有多种表现形式。空处承接上文，举例说明矛盾心理的一种表现形式。A项“可能是一个在你需要他支持时却经常不在身边的朋友。”符合语境。故选A。
【38题详解】下文“At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships.(至少，你会期望他们比我们厌恶的关系对我们更好)”说明人们期望这种爱恨交织的关系能带来一些好处。B项中的“We might hope”与下文的“you would expect”相呼应，“the good would outweigh the bad”与下文的“better for us than our aversive relationships”相契合。所以B项“我们可能希望在这样的关系中，好的一面会超过坏的一面。”符合语境。故选B。
【39题详解】上文“Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing.(杨百翰大学的另一项研究发现，当参与者准备演讲时，仅仅知道一个爱恨交织的人就在附近，就足以让他们的血压飙升)”说明即使是无意识的提醒也会让人血压升高。C项中的“even unconscious reminders”与上文的“simply knowing”相呼应，“break our peace of mind”与上文的“send their blood pressure rocketing”相契合，进一步说明这种关系的影响。所以C项“事实上，即使是无意识地想起一个爱恨交织的人，也会打破我们的平静。”符合语境。故选C。
【40题详解】上文“We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies.(在与爱恨交织的人交往时，我们可以管理自己的期望，并在心理上为这种复杂的情感做好准备)”说明我们可以管理自己的期望，为复杂的情感做好准备。D项中的“This allows us”承接上文，“focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones”与上文的“manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves”相契合，说明这样做的好处。所以D项“这让我们能够关注他们的优点，并对不愉快的方面表示同情。”符合语境。故选D。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。围绕科学认知，介绍了人类通过归纳推理（即科学方法）构建知识体系的过程及其局限性，呼吁持续学习。
56. reasoning。考查非谓语动词，设空前为形容词inductive，作定语修饰名词，根据原文句意得知填其动名词reasoning “推理”。

Possible version 2:
Dear Peter,
Your initiative to host a cross-cultural communication event is highly commendable. In our diverse school community, this activity will serve as a bridge to foster empathy and reduce cultural conflicts.
For specific activities, I propose arranging a global etiquette workshop. Students could practice greetings from various cultures, such as the Japanese bow (15-degree angle for acquaintances) versus the New Zealand hongi (nose-pressing gesture). These physical demonstrations make abstract customs tangible. Furthermore, a “Culture Shock Storytelling” session could be held, where international students share humorous misunderstandings they encountered, like confusing Chinese hot water habits with Western iced drink preferences. Real-life anecdotes will highlight the importance of cultural sensitivity in daily interactions.
Both methods blend education with engagement. Should these suggestions align with your plan, I’m ready to assist. Wishing the event great success in uniting cultures!
Best regards,
Li Hua

Possible version 2:
Paragraph 1: Before I could react, the front door burst open, and she rushed toward me. Her face was drained of color, and her breath came in sharp gasps. “Stay clear of my shack! I’ll call the police!” she demanded, her voice quivering with both anger and fear. At the thought of those poor dogs, I squared my shoulders, brushing off my fear and yelling back “I am calling the police! I knew what you have done! You are mistreating the dogs!” my voice filled with accusation. To my utter astonishment, her hardened expression cracked, and tears glistened in her weary eyes. “You don’t understand,” she paused, her shoulders slumping. “I never abused them! I found them abandoned, sick, dying. I’ve been trying to save them.” a hint of sadness in her voice.
Paragraph 2: Hearing what Mrs. Harrington said, I breathed a sigh of relief. The anger in my chest gave way to overwhelming shame—I misjudged her. “No wonder you always had two shopping bags in hand! But why didn’t you tell anyone ” my tone softening now. She hesitated, “I was terrified they’d be taken away. And people judge, they assume the worst...so did you”. Her words stung, but were right. Determined to turn suspicion into action, I offered, “I can help”. Her eyes flickered with uncertainty, but she finally nodded. The next weeks saw us tending the dogs meticulously. For the first time, I saw Mrs. Harrington smile. Her harsh exterior masked her kind heart. Appearances can be deceiving—What initially seemed like cruelty was actually hidden compassion.

M: No. That’s a three-point shot. Shooting from inside the line gives you two. There’s also a free throw which happens when another player breaks a rule. You get two and each of them is worth one point.

M: She is just so cute. Remember when you brought her home and she was all dirty. Such a big difference now.
W: I know. She’s ruined a few dresses when we go out for walks. She likes to roll over in the muddy water.
M: How is she with the children I was a bit worried. You read lots of stories about families adopting dogs only for them to attack.
W: No, nothing like that. Honestly, she loves them, especially Tom. She’s so protective of him. With Greg traveling for business all the time, I feel so much safer with her in the house.

M: We’re struggling to find a place to hold our wedding in.
W: Is it because everywhere is booked up
M: No, it’s just too expensive, but the main reason is that Melissa wants something different.
W: So not a traditional church wedding
M: No, we started looking at castles in Scotland.
W: What about something smaller Like a farm house
M: We looked at a couple of those, but they are very popular.
W: If you want to be really different, you could get married in the zoo.
M: Really
W: Yeah. I was at a wedding there in summer. Plus, you both love animals.
M: I’ll phone them and see what dates they have.
W: I have a friend that works there. What date were you looking at
M: I wanted a spring wedding, but Melissa wanted something in January. She won.
W: Let me check with them.

W: You need to remember to pack enough clothing. On our trip last year, we had to buy socks in Spain because you forgot them.
M: It was fine last time. Everything worked out easily. Besides, we’re going to the beaches in Mexico. I won’t even be wearing shoes most of the time.
W: That’s not what I mean. I just want you to make sure you have everything.
M: Well, my bag weighs about 16 kilograms now, so there’s a lot in it already.
W: The airplane company will allow up to 22 kilograms.
M: I know that I have everything. But just because I can bring that heavy of a bag to the airport doesn’t mean I have to. Besides, if I want to take things home with us, we will need that free space. Otherwise, you will need to leave some things behind.
W: Fine. I understand what you’re saying. Have you called the hotel yet to confirm our room
M: Yes. I did that this morning. All we need now is to pack some food for the flight.
Text 9:
M: Hey, Jenny, I’m a bit worried about you. The whole team has noticed you haven’t come to basketball practice recently.
W: I know. I just have so much schoolwork and so many responsibilities these days.
M: You must be worried about being unable to finish everything. If I can do anything to help, I will.
W: I appreciate that. It’s OK. I know I can finish my work. Doing well in school is my highest priority right now, so it’s difficult to commit fully to being the captain of our team.
M: I know you have a lot of responsibilities. If you want, I can tell your friends and our teammates that you need support.
W: That’d be so great. If anyone can help me in studying, that would be a huge help as well.
M: We’re in different grades, so I can’t help much with your schoolwork. But I can help with your captain’s duties.
W: That would relieve a lot of stress for me.
M: I’ll make a plan to organize some of the coaching plans and practice activities.
W: Thank you for doing that for me. When all my work is finished, I promise to help you practice your defensive skills.

Shinichi Sakamoto is 57, and works for Shimizu, one of Japan’s biggest construction companies. He is part of the greying and falling workforce. According to Mr. Sakamoto, statistics showed that a third of Japanese construction laborers are over 54 years old, and they are considering retiring so soon. And they’re not being replaced by younger builders. “The number of laborers under 30 is just above 10%,” he said. In September, Mr. Sakamoto’s firm gained a promising new co-worker — a robot. It is currently working on a high-rise development in Osaka, transporting heavy building materials every night from the ground floor to where they’re needed. “Can you imagine that materials are in the right position in the morning when laborers come to the site ” said Mr. Sakamoto, “He even works at night time.” Robots will benefit from superfast 5G mobile networks. Better connections will make it easier for multiple robots to cooperate. Many small robots could work together on different parts of a task. An example is the 3D printing robots at a university in Singapore, each of which can print concrete following a computer map. All robots in a group could learn from what one robot is learning. Mr. Sakamoto also introduced other robot workers. The robots operate on their own, performing tasks a manager assigns them on a computer.2023级高二年级第二学期期中考试

My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmate drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starve the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills” My hand shook as I wrote “observing details” something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic ” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brush work. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his white board, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration” He showed me job listings I never knew existed — graphic designers for science alps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your impractical skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality cancelling each other out — they just multiply possibilities.
24. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1
A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine.
C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
25. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’s “hidden skills” as______.
A. a plus B. a leisure C. a distraction D. a burden
26. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her
A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training.
C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in health care.
27. What message does the author want to convey
A. Follow the beaten track to success. B. A picture is worth a thousand words.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. Two strings to your bow light the way.
C
Driving has significant downsides, including pollution, traffic, and crashes. In 2023, an estimated 40,990 people died in car crashes in the U.S., with millions more injured in nonfatal collisions (碰撞). These crashes often result from human errors, such as drunk drive, distraction, or misjudgment. Despite efforts to mitigate these errors through traffic enforcement and safer road design, human mistakes remain a major issue.
Self-driving cars, like those developed by Waymo, offer a promising solution. Waymo’s robotaxis have driven 33 million miles, primarily in San Francisco and Phoenix, and have been involved in 62% fewer police-reported crashes, 78% fewer injury-causing crashes, and 81% fewer severe crashes compared to human-driven cars. These figures might even understate the safety benefits, as other drivers are often partially responsible for collisions with autonomous vehicles.
While incidents like the Cruise robotaxi accident, where a human driver hit a passer-by who was then dragged by the autonomous vehicle, raise concerns, human drivers also cause terrible accidents. The key question is whether autonomous vehicles are safer overall and can be made even safer through careful monitoring and innovation.
Data from California shows that most crashes involving Waymo and Cruise vehicles were low-speed and often caused by other drivers. Although it’s too early to determine the full impact of self-driving cars on fatal crashes, the potential for reducing human error is significant. As more autonomous vehicles hit the road, the number of crashes caused by human drivers could decrease, leading to broader societal benefits, including reduced healthcare costs and fewer legal issues related to traffic accidents.
The Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association has proposed a policy framework to speed the adoption of self-driving cars, advocating for clear federal guidelines and a national safety data base. While autonomous driving technology is still in its beginning and faces challenges like navigating snow and ice, policymakers should work to remove regulatory barriers and ensure safety standards are met.
In conclusion, while human drivers won’t disappear soon, self-driving cars have the potential to significantly improve road safety and reduce the economic and social costs of traffic accidents.
28. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Ease. B. Expand. C. Explain. D. Embrace.
29. What can we infer from Waymo’s robotaxi data
A. Robotaxis are unbelievably safe. B. They are safer than human-driven cars.
C. They might cause more severe crashes. D. Other drivers are unlikely to hit robotaxis.
30. What is one challenge mentioned for self-driving cars
A. They cannot operate in big cities. B. They may struggle in snow and ice.
C. They are too expensive to produce. D. They are not accepted by the public.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A. Self-driving cars have a promising future with great benefits.
B. Policymakers should focus on developing self-driving technologies.
C. Human drivers will be replaced by self-driving cars in the near future.
D. Self-driving technologies have brought about profits environmentally.
D
A research team, led by Dr. Lee Seung-Hee, Associate Director of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into the brain’s sensory decision-making processes and how they adapt to behavioral states.
In daily life, we constantly process visual and auditory (听觉的) information to explore the world. For example, when watching a movie, the brain integrates images and sounds to create a unified experience. However, during movement—such as walking down a busy street—the brain may prioritize visual input over sound to avoid obstacles.
Until now, the neural mechanisms (神经机制) behind this sensory prioritization remained unclear. Understanding this process is particularly important for individuals with sensory processing disorders. such as autism or schizophrenia, where the brain may grapple with integrating sensory information effectively. By uncovering how the brain naturally shifts between sensory inputs, researchers hope to pave the way for better treatment for these conditions.
To investigate this phenomenon, the research team conducted behavioral experiments on mice, monitoring real-time brain activity using miniature microscopes and optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control neurons. The mice were trained to respond to both visual and auditory cues while either stationary or running on a treadmill.
The results revealed a striking shift in sensory reliance: When stationary, the ice relied more on auditory cues to make decisions. When moving, their brains prioritized visual input. This suggests that the brain dynamically adjusts sensory weighting based on behavioral context. Sound may be more useful for detecting nearby events when still, whereas vision becomes critical during movement for spatial navigation and stability.
This discovery could have important implications for understanding and treating sensory processing disorders, where the brain may struggle to properly prioritize sensory inputs. Dr. Lee explained, “Our findings demonstrate how the brain flexibly shifts between vision and hearing depending on behavior. Understanding this natural adaptability could lead to improved treatments for those with sensory integration difficulties.”
32. What was the main focus of Dr. Lee’s research
A. How behavior boosts the brain function. B. How physical state affects sensory focus.
C. How information is processed by the brain. D. How sensory input guides decision-making.
33. Why is this research particularly important for people with autism or schizophrenia
A. Because they rely more on hearing than vision.
B. Because their movement speed affects their vision.
C. Because their brains cannot process any sensory input.
D. Because they may struggle to properly integrate sensory information.
34. How did the researchers investigate sensory prioritization in mice
A. By tracking their brain activity during sensory tasks.
B. By monitoring their adaptation to light and sound.
C. By recording their instant reactions to movement.
D. By comparing corresponding human behavior.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. “Autism and Its Effects on Sensory Perception”
B. “The Role of Hearing in Human Communication”
C. “How the Brain Processes Movement: A New Study”
D. “Brain’s Sensory Switch: Vision or Hearing Depends on Movement”

When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support. 36 In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.
If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent (矛盾的) relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. 37 It could be a partner love-bombing you one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings.
38 At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. 39
Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply mixed into our social network. So, what can be done Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. 40 As importantly, be a little more mindful of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference.
A．It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need his support.
B．We might hope that in such relationships, the good would outweigh the bad.
C．In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind.
D．This allows us to focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones.
E．If you feel someone too negative a presence in your life, you may decide to cut off contact.
F．A handful, however, stimulate quite different emotions—a mixture of eagerness and anxiety.
G．After all, the benefits of social connection come from feeling well understood and supported.

Last summer, I returned to my grandmother’s home in the quiet town where I grew up. The woman who once moved with boundless 41 now seemed to be older, moving more slowly, as if her every step was carefully 42 . Her hands, which had once moved with clear purpose, now shook 43 she nursed her tea. I noticed the 44 , but it didn’t make her any less the center of our family. She had simply learned to move at a different 45 , one that allowed her to enjoy moments she once rushed through.
One afternoon, we sat side by side in her garden. I was 46 the roses, my thoughts wandering as impatience grew with how much there was to do. I wanted to finish quickly, yet my grandmother’s eyes remained fixed on the flowers, filled with quiet understanding. “I used to rush through all this,” she said softly. “Planting, weeding, always hurrying. Now, I find 47 in just watching them grow, letting time 48 as it will.” Her voice wasn’t filled with any 49 ; instead, it conveyed a peaceful acceptance, as if she had 50 a new way of loving life.
In the days that followed, we shared simple moments — small tasks, quiet conversations, and the gentle flow of our daily routine. I had always flown through tasks before, constantly focused on finishing what was next. But watching her, I began to see a different way of being. She no longer moved quickly; each 51 was purposeful, and in her stillness, there was a warmth I had never truly 52 before.
As I was about to leave, she smiled gently and said, “You know, love isn’t always about 53 actions. It’s in the little things, the quiet moments we share. Like how these green plants 54 , or how we sit here together, simply being.” In that moment, I understood: true love, like true life, lies in the patience and 55 we give one another.

Many of our beliefs about the universe are based on inductive 56 (reason), also known as the scientific model. This means of arriving 57 the truth requires the observation of concrete events 58 (follow) by the development of a theory to explain what has been observed. In other words, it’s a way to proceed from the particular to the general. However, it is in the nature of scientists 59 (inquire) into every possibility and this means they often discover things that no one 60 (see) or noticed before. Our generalized theories therefore never cease to change.
In fact, most of our new knowledge is gained by the observation of things we have never seen before. Before the first black swan was seen, the 61 (assume) was that all swans are white. This is known as the “Black Swan theory”. How could we have known otherwise There will always be “unknown unknowns” such as black swans, but some people criticize those 62 dare to suggest their existence. We should always be objective and question what we think we know.
The world in the future is bound to be different from now. 63 much we understand, there will always be 64 remote possibility of discovering “a black swan”. Accordingly, our comprehension of the world will change 65 (constant). Therefore, we should keep pace with new developments in all domains of knowledge — “black swans” can change history.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My closest neighbor, Mrs. Harrington, was mysterious. From the moment I moved into the neighborhood, she had been distant, almost to the point of being rude. She avoided eye contact and brushed off any attempts at conversation.
Every day, she would head to the old shack(棚屋) 20 feet away from her house at 9 a. m. and again at 9 p. m. She always had two shopping bags in hand, and she would go into the shack for about 20 minutes before returning to her house.
One afternoon, while I was out for a walk, I accidentally approached the shack. The moment Mrs. Harrington saw me approaching, she dashed out of the door, her eyes wide with anger. “Stay away! I’ll call the police!” she screamed, her voice high-pitched and desperate.
Astonished, I began to apologize and wanted to clarify that I hadn’t meant to intrude (闯入), but Mrs. Harrington cut me off with another sharp outburst, demanding that I leave immediately. The unfriendliness in her tone made it clear that arguing would be useless. I turned and walked back home. The way Mrs. Harrington screamed at me and the panic in her eyes didn’t feel right. I decided to investigate.
One night, I slipped out of my front door when she was back inside her house and all the lights were off. Reaching the shack, I noticed there was a large padlock on the door. I took a closer look and spotted a small gap in the wooden door, just big enough to peek through. I hesitated for a moment but finally pressed my nose against the door and peeked inside through the gap.
The inside was dark, but as my eyes adjusted, I nearly fainted at what I saw. Inside the shack were dozens of dogs and they were nothing more than skin and bones! What was going on here Were they being mistreated by her I started pulling at the lock, trying to force it open. Suddenly, a light flicked on inside Mrs. Harrington’s house. I froze, realizing that I’d woken her up.
