How Our Ancestors Used Mushrooms to Change the Course of Human History
Mushrooms played a vital role in human survival and civilization, but their contributions were long
2
overlooked due to poor preservation in the fossil record. Recent technological breakthroughs have revealed their
hidden roles.
Key Uses of Mushrooms by Ancient Humans:
Time Period Group Usage Specific Details
48, 000 years Neanderthals Food; Medicine 1. People ate gray & split mushrooms;
ago (尼安德特人) 2. People chewed penicillin mould (青霉素霉菌 ) for
tooth infection.
11, 000 years ago Middle Stone Starting fires 1. 82 preserved mushrooms were in Yorkshire, UK;
Age 2. Mushrooms were processed into something that
hunter-gatherers could be used with tree skin as easy-to-carry
fire-starting kit.
10, 000 years Early rice Making beer 1. A special tiny mushroom changed rice into sugar;
ago cultivators (East 2. The mushrooms were mixed with tiny things in the
Asia) air to make the first rice beer.
5, 300 years ago New Stone Age Fishing floats; 1. Some mushrooms were covered with bee wax for
tzi the Iceman Starting fires reusable floats;
(冰人奥兹) 2. Dry mushroom material and a special stone in a
leather bag were used to start fires.
Important Discoveries:
1. Chemical tests show mushrooms’ carbon and nitrogen (氮) levels are similar to plants and meat, meaning
they were likely part of ancient diets but previously undetected.
2. Scientists found bits of mushrooms stuck in 15, 000-year-old teeth, proving consumption.
21. Why were mushrooms’ contributions ignored for a long time
A. Because recent technology had not been invented.
B. Because people showed no interest in mushrooms.
C. Because mushrooms played no role in human survival.
D. Because mushrooms were not well preserved in fossils.
22. Which two ancient groups used mushrooms as fire starters
A. Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers and Neanderthals.
B. Neanderthals and Early rice cultivators.
C. Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers and tzi the Iceman.
D. tzi the Iceman and Early rice cultivators.
23. What directly proves ancient humans ate mushrooms
A. Chemical tests. B. Undetected diet history.
C. Preservation technology. D. Mushroom pieces in ancient teeth.

When scientists at Columbia University announced they had made a cheesecake using a 3D printer, many
3
people laughed. But for 14-year-old Maya Rodriguez, it was the most exciting news she’d heard all year. Maya had
always loved baking. Her grandmother, a professional baker in Mexico City, taught her to make traditional
Mexican pastries when she was just seven. But Maya also loved technology. She often dreamed of combining her
two passions.
“The article said the scientists used a 3D printer to build the cheesecake layer by layer—graham crackers,
peanut butter, Nutella, banana puree, and strawberry jam, “ Maya explained. “It wasn’t just mixing things together.
The printer could place each ingredient exactly where it needed to be. “ Inspired, Maya spent her summer
researching 3D food printing. She learned that while 3D printing was first tested in 1981, food printing was still in
its early stages. Most food printers could only handle one ingredient at a time. The Columbia team’s breakthrough
was using multiple ingredients in one print.
“I started experimenting with my family’s kitchen printer— the regular kind, not a food printer,” Maya
laughed. “I designed layers for a traditional Mexican tres leches cake.” Her big moment came at the school science
fair. Maya presented her design alongside samples of her hand-baked cake. A local newspaper covered her project.
Soon after, a university food science program invited her to visit their lab. “It’s not really about the cake,”
Maya said. “It’s about showing that old traditions and new technology can work together. My grandmother’s
recipes are hundreds of years old. Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.”
24. How did Maya first learn about 3D-printed food
A. From a news article. B. From her grandmother.
C. From a school science fair. D. From a university lab visit.
25. What was special about the Columbia University team’s 3D-printed cheesecake
A. It was the first 3D-printed food ever made.
B. It could be printed in just one minute.
C. It integrated multiple ingredients into one print.
D. It tasted better than regular cheesecake.
26. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to
A. 3D printers. B. New technologies.
C. University scientists. D. Maya’s grandmother’s recipes.
27. What message does Maya’s story mainly convey
A. 3D printing will replace traditional baking. B. Young people should enter science fairs.
C. Technology can help preserve cultural traditions. D. Cheesecake is the best food to 3D-print.

When wolves bring down animals, ravens (渡鸦) often arrive first. Even before wolves begin feeding, these
birds gather nearby, ready to take leftover bits. Their timing has long seemed surprising, leading many to assume
ravens simply follow wolves to find food.
A new study published in Science, however, reveals a much more advanced strategy. Instead of following
wolves continuously, ravens remember locations where kills are likely to happen and return to those areas, even
from great distances.
4
To understand raven behavior, researchers from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna fitted 69 birds
with GPS trackers. In addition to raven data, they analyzed movement patterns from 20 collared wolves. They
focused on winter, when ravens most often interact with wolves, recording locations every 30 minutes for birds and
every hour for wolves. They also documented where and when wolves killed prey.
Over the course of the study, researchers discovered that ravens seldom followed wolves for more than an
hour or one kilometer. Instead, they visited particular locations repeatedly, demonstrating that ravens remember the
most productive hunting grounds. This suggests that ravens learn which areas are more likely to provide food, a
strategy that helps them find meals efficiently without constantly tracking wolves.
The researchers say ravens may still follow wolves over short distances when they are nearby, but on a larger
scale, memory plays the leading role. Senior author Prof John M. Marzluff explains, “What our study clearly shows
is that ravens are flexible in where they decide to feed. They don’t stay tied to a particular wolf pack. With their
sharp senses and memory of past feeding locations, they can select among many feeding opportunities far and wide.
The study suggests that some species, like ravens, may be underestimated in terms of their intelligence and ability
to adapt to their environment. “
28. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce a widely held belief.
B. To describe animals’ hunting skills.
C. To explain why ravens follow wolves.
D. To present difficulties in tracking birds.
29. Why did the researchers choose to focus on winter
A. Ravens are easier to track in winter.
B. Wolves are more active during winter.
C. GPS devices perform best in cold weather.
D. Ravens interact most frequently with wolves then.
30. Which of the following is NOT supported by the study results
A. Ravens always arrive first at every wolf kill.
B. Ravens seldom follow wolves for long periods.
C. Ravens use memory to improve feeding efficiency.
D. Ravens remember particularly successful hunting areas.
31. What is the best title for the passage
A. Ravens: Adapting to Wolves’ Habits.
B. Ravens: Memory over Wolf Following.
C. How Ravens Compete with Wolves for Food.
D. GPS Tracking Reveals Ravens’ Migration Patterns.

For many years, pain assessment in medical settings has relied heavily on patients’ self-report or caregivers’
observation. Yet this approach is often unreliable, especially for individuals who cannot communicate clearly, such
5
as people with dementia (痴呆 ) . As a result, pain is frequently mistaken for behavioral problems, leading to
inappropriate treatment while the real cause remains unaddressed.
In response, researchers have turned to new technologies to improve how pain is recognized. One example is
PainChek, a smartphone-based application that analyzes facial expressions. It identifies small muscle movements
associated with pain and combines them with observable signs such as sleep disturbance, providing a more
consistent way to evaluate patients who cannot speak for themselves.
The effectiveness has been demonstrated in practice. At Orchard Care Homes in the United Kingdom, the
introduction of PainChek led to noticeable changes. Staff reported fewer unnecessary medications and a calmer
environment among residents. Some individuals who had kept to themselves due to untreated pain began to eat
normally and engage with others again. “We immediately saw the benefits, “ recalls Cheryl Baird, the facility’s
former quality director, noting that the system revealed pain that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.
Even so, this approach is not without limits. Systems that rely on facial analysis may work less accurately
across different groups or confuse pain with other emotions. There is also concern that overreliance on such tools
could weaken clinical judgment rather than support it.
For this reason, technology is best seen not as a replacement, but as a support to human care. It can make
hidden suffering more visible, but it cannot fully interpret it on its own. As Baird reflects from her own experience
with long-lasting pain, having one’s pain acknowledged is often the first step toward healing. If tools like this can
help give a clearer voice to those who cannot speak, their value may lie not in perfection, but in making care more
attentive, more responsive, and ultimately more humane.
32. What is the problem with traditional pain assessment
A. It takes too much time to complete.
B. It often fails to identify pain accurately.
C. It overlooks patients with clear communication.
D. It depends too much on patients’ medical history.
33. Which of the following changes did PainChek bring to the care home
① Unnoticed pain was identified. ② Staff worked longer hours each day.
③ Unnecessary medication use dropped. ④ Residents became more socially active.
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④
34. Why does Baird mention her personal pain experience
A. To call for better staff training. B. To praise advanced technology.
C. To highlight accurate record-keeping. D. To stress the need for pain recognition.
35. What is the author’s view on new assessment tools
A. Effective but overused. B. Accurate but impersonal.
C. Useful despite its limitations. D. Reliable despite its high cost.

Are You Reacting or Choosing
6
Have you ever told yourself, “I feel like I’ve been busy all day, but I got nothing done” You’re switching
from task to task as new requests come through, but you don’t have a spare minute to connect with the bigger
picture. 36 Reacting is what happens when you move through your day on autopilot. Choosing, by
contrast, is intentional (有目的的;主动选择的) . Here are tips that help shift from reactive autopilot to intentional
living.
Identify your values.
The confidence to choose comes when you know what matters most to you—whether that’s family time,
creativity, leadership, or health. 37
38
Even a few seconds of reflection can break the cycle of automatic agreement. Try asking yourself: Will this
move me closer to my values, pull me further away, or simply distract me from the bigger picture
Experiment with boundaries.
Treat each “no” as a small test. You might discover that people still respect you, your family adjusts, and you
actually gain energy for the opportunities that excite you. 39 And every time you choose, you remind
yourself that your life is yours to shape.
40 You move forward on projects and passions that leave you feeling fulfilled, with energy left
over for life outside of work. Over time, you’ll notice that success feels less like constantly proving yourself and
more spacious.
A. Choose your own route.
B. Pause before saying yes.
C. This is the result of confusing reacting with choosing.
D. When you practice choosing instead of reacting, the benefits add up.
E. Each successful experiment can help you build confidence in your ability to choose.
F. It’s about following your own North Star, whether that leads you down a unique path.
G. Clear values act like a filter (过滤器), helping you decide what deserves your “yes”.

The Dumplings That Brought Us Home
On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Li family kitchen was louder than the firecrackers outside. Steam rose from the
pot. Laughter bounced off the walls. Flour dusted the table like fresh snow. And in the middle of it stood Grandma,
issuing instructions as if she were conducting an orchestra (管弦乐队). “Not too much filling!” she called out, “We’
re making dumplings, not pillows!”
Every year, no matter how busy life became, the entire family returned home for this ritual (仪式). Uncles
rushed in from work, aunts arrived with bags of fruit and snacks, and cousins who usually lived on their phones
suddenly found themselves elbow-deep in flour.
9
Sixteen-year-old Jun complained about it when he was younger. He used to think New Year’s Eve meant
missing out on hanging out with friends or playing video games. But somehow, the noise and chaos started to feel. . .
necessary. Jun tried to look serious as he folded his third dumpling of the evening. It leaned awkwardly to one side,
more like a collapsed tent. “It has personality,” he defended himself. His cousin Mei burst into laughter. “If
personality means falling apart in boiling water, then yes.”
At this moment, they noticed that Grandma placed a coin inside one of the dumplings, carefully sealing it.
“Tradition,” she said with a wink. “Whoever finds it will have the best luck this year. And remember to make a
wish during the midnight countdown (倒计时).”
That changed everything. A slight “tension” filled the kitchen. Everyone became unusually careful while
eating. Each bite was slow and suspicious. Jun examined his dumpling like a detective studying evidence.
