Space engineer Barbara Braun is working to turn the dream of living on Mars into reality, starting in a remote part of Utah, a place whose environment has much in common with that of Mars. As a mission officer, she leads missions that copy life on Mars to test how humans can survive in space. Braun studied space engineering at MIT and also became a qualified emergency medical worker — someone trained to give emergency medical care. This skill later proved to be extremely valuable.
Her most important test was a two-week mission at Utah’s Mars Desert Research Station. As the health and safety officer, she led explorations in simulated (模拟的) spacesuits, where her team tested technologies like 3D mapping drones and radiation-detecting tools. The mission was full of challenges. The team had to deal with many unexpected problems from broken spacesuits to a broken toilet. Solving such practical issues was a core part of the experience. “There’s no pipe repairer on Mars,” she says, “so you need to be handy.”
Braun’s wide range of skills sets her apart. Her training as an emergency medical worker, combined with volunteer work as a firefighter, helped her develop skills needed for space exploration: thinking quickly and staying calm in stressful situations. She believes these practical experiences are as important as her school education. “These experiences prepared me for the unexpected — on Earth and Mars,” she notes, highlighting the connection between her daily life and her space-related work.
Looking ahead, Braun acknowledges challenges like radiation but remains optimistic. She believes building a community on Mars will require all kinds of people, not just scientists. “We need pipe repairers, metal workers, and everyday people in space,” she says. To young space lovers, her advice is to read widely and try out different things with passion — you never know which skill will prepare you for space. Through her work, Braun is helping to make humanity’s next space home a reality.
4. Why does Barbara Braun conduct her work in a remote part of Utah
A. It is available to humans.
B. It has advanced technology.
C. It has emergency medical care.
D. It has a similar environment to Mars.

B. The advanced technologies tested in the Mars mission.
C. The Mars simulation mission and its tough difficulties.
D. The responsibilities of a health and safety officer in space.
6. What can we learn from Braun’s advice
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Many skills make light work.

C. Passionate and all-round.
D. Specialized and conventional.
C
Stress, challenges and failure are a part of life, but how we emotionally respond to them can shape our future. As Shakespeare put it, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. This reflects the power of an emotion-regulation strategy psychologists call cognitive reappraisal (认知重评), or reframing. It showcases a powerful capacity that humans have to change their own emotional experiences by changing not the situation, but what the situation means to them.
Psychologists describe two main ways to do this. One is reinterpreting a situation, or “looking on the bright side.” For example, a minor car accident is stressful, but you could reframe it by focusing on the fact that no one got hurt. Or perhaps you can find a silver lining — a hidden benefit — in the situation. The other method is psychological distancing. With this, you don’t change the event’s meaning, but you change how important it is to you by imagining yourself far in the future. You could ask yourself: how likely is it that I will even remember this event 10 years from now
Research shows that cognitive reappraisal can reduce negative emotions like sadness and increase positive ones like hope. Over time, this contributes to greater well-being and less depression. The strategy works by affecting our brain’s emotional response. Neuroimaging studies show that cognitive reappraisal engages the brain’s thinking center. This area then helps to calm our brain’s internal threat detector, leading to less negative emotion.
However, cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality. It is not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Psychologists warn against “toxic positivity”, where you might lie to yourself just to feel better. The key is to see reframing not as a magical cure, but as one useful instrument in our “emotional toolbox”, which we can select and use wisely depending on the situation.
8. Why does the author quote Shakespeare’s words in paragraph 1
A. To prove Shakespeare’s influence.
B. To introduce the power of reframing.
C. To suggest life is full of uncertainty.
D. To define cognitive reappraisal directly.
9. Which of the following is an example of psychological distancing
A. Reflecting on whether a small quarrel will matter in a decade.
B. Focusing on the fact that a broken phone didn’t cause data loss.
C. Viewing a delayed flight as a chance to finish an unfinished book.
D. Considering a lost competition as a lesson for future improvement.
10. What does the underlined phrase “toxic positivity” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Stress from too much positivity.
B. Fake positivity in social interactions.
C. Harmful optimism ignoring reality.
D. Positive thinking for emotional relief.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards cognitive reappraisal
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful.
C. Disapproving. D. Objective.
D
Scientists have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can capture and understand a person’s inner speech. Unlike previous systems requiring users to physically try to speak, this BCI only needs them to think about what they want to say. Lead researcher Edward Chang stated, “This is the first time we’ve understood the brain activity when you just think about speaking.” For those with severe speech problems, this new BCI offers an easier and more natural way to communicate.
Many current BCIs that help communication still require physical attempts to speak. This process can be tiring for individuals with limited muscle control. Researchers wondered if they could instead decode (解码) inner speech, which means understanding thoughts without any physical movement.
In their study, researchers worked with four people suffering from severe paralysis (瘫痪). These participants had electrodes implanted (植入) in their brains as part of another medical trial. The team used AI to interpret the electrical signals from these electrodes, decoding both inner speech and attempted speech. The AI models decoded participants’ internal sentences with up to 74% accuracy. Interestingly, inner speech and attempted speech produced similar patterns of brain activity in the brain’s motor cortex, but inner speech produced weaker signals overall.
One ethical dilemma with BCIs is that they could potentially decode people’s private thoughts rather than what they intended to say aloud. To avoid the current system unintentionally decoding a person’s private inner speech, the team developed a password-protected BCI. Participants could use attempted speech to communicate at any time, but the BCI started decoding inner speech only after they spoke the password. Though the BCI wasn’t able to decode complete sentences when a person wasn’t clearly thinking in words, study co-author Frank Willett said, “This gives real hope that speech BCIs can one day restore communication that is as fluent, natural and comfortable as conversational speech.”
12. Why did the researchers develop the new BCI
A. To obtain private thoughts.
B. To reduce user exhaustion.
C. To control external devices.
D. To understand brain activity.
13. How did the researchers decode internal sentences in the study
A. By recording physical movements.
B. By asking participants to speak aloud.
C. By using AI to read weaker signals.
D. By interpreting brain electrical signals.
14. How did the researchers address the ethical dilemma of the new BCI
A. They developed a password system.
B. They strengthened inner speech signals.
C. They limited attempted speech translation.
D. They trained AI to decode whole sentences
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. New BCI: A Breakthrough in Decoding Inner Speech
B. Overcoming Paralysis: A New Hope for Communication
C. Password-Protected BCI: A Great Solution to Privacy Leaks
D. BCI Technology: A Way to Decode Thoughts via Passwords

The Art of Asking Great Questions
Asking questions is a key skill for effective communication, yet many fail to master it, missing out on meaningful connections and useful insights. Fortunately, it’s a skill that can be developed with intention. ____16____
To start with, clarify your purpose and ask the right person. Reflect on what you aim to gain — tips for exams or homework feedback — before raising a question. This makes your question more focused, leading to better responses. ____17____ For example, seeking medical advice from a friend instead of a doctor will only lead to vague or incorrect information.
____18____ If a question pops up, ask it promptly while fresh; if the timing isn’t right — such as during a meeting — write it down to follow up later. Use simple, clear language, avoid difficult terms, and stay neutral to keep from influencing responses. Instead of saying “This plan is perfect, isn’t it ”, try “What’s your take on this plan ” to encourage honest feedback.
Additionally, attentive listening and thoughtful follow-ups are essential. ____19____ Nodding or saying brief phrases like “I see” can signal your engagement. Follow-up questions are crucial for deepening the conversation. You can add “What steps do you think we can take to overcome it ” after asking “What’s the main difficulty here ” This shift from identifying issues to exploring solutions keeps the dialogue productive.
____20____ Avoid rude questions that push others away. Approach answers with curiosity rather than closed-mindedness — every question is an opportunity to expand your understanding. With these steps, you’ll turn common exchanges into meaningful connections.
A. Crafting questions is another key aspect.
B. Too many follow-up questions may annoy others.
C. Listen patiently and focus on what the person is saying.
D. Simple words make your questions easier to understand.
E. Ultimately, maintain a respectful and open-minded attitude.
F. Here are some practical strategies for effective questioning.
G. Choosing those with relevant knowledge ensures answer reliability.

With the school art fair approaching, announcements said entries must be original — Joy needed something unique to stand out.
Then one afternoon at a pizza shop, she watched a cartoonist turn a few quick lines into a funny portrait of her: the head twice her body and ears as big as the head. Eyes bright with excitement, Joy showed it to her friend Emily and suggested she have the cartoonist draw one for her too. Emily took a slow bite of pizza and said, “I don’t think so. But you are a good artist. You should draw a cartoon for the art fair.” Inspired, Joy, who was good at realistic drawings, determined to have a try.
In the following two weeks, Joy practiced hard, copying superheroes from comic books and learning some tips: exaggerate (夸张) main features and skip unimportant details. Soon she could use a few lines and shapes to capture a likeness, sort of the way the cartoonist did.
Thinking Emily was her best friend who always cheered her on, Joy suddenly had a great idea. She immediately set to work and poured her effort into the cartoon. After finishing it, Joy thought she had a chance at winning first place.
The art fair transformed the school into a museum. Joy was excited to find her drawing had won the first place, but noticed Emily standing off to the side, eyes swollen and red. “Joy! How could you ” Emily cried, “My hair looks like spaghetti and my teeth are full of dots. Are you making fun of my braces (牙箍) That’s the ugliest drawing I’ve ever seen!” Not knowing what to say, Joy felt her stomach drop.
That night, Joy tossed and turned, dreaming that the cartoonist drew her as a pizza, with onions for hair and mushrooms for ears. She hated how she looked.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
Suddenly, Joy awoke, realizing how Emily had felt when seeing her drawing.

Paragraph 2
The next day, Joy waited outside Emily’s classroom, holding the new drawing tightly.
