Have you ever closed a book and felt that some small, quiet part of you had been rearranged If so, you might recognize yourself in Emma Watson’s latest book, The Wild Mind: Why Reading Matters More Than Ever.
Watson, a literature professor at Cambridge, doesn’t simply argue that reading is important for success in school, though she does point out that students who read for pleasure consistently outperform their peers. Her real concern lies deeper. She argues that reading — particularly reading fiction — develops a set of human qualities that no machine can replicate: empathy, patience, and the ability to sit with uncertainty.
Drawing on psychological research as well as her own classroom experience, Watson shows how deep reading strengthens our capacity to understand others. When we follow a character through her struggles, we practice seeing the world from another’s point of view. “Fiction,” Watson writes, “is the only place where we can be inside another person’s head and still be ourselves.”
The book’s most powerful sections are those where Watson reveals her personal relationship with reading. She describes how, as a shy teenager, books became her shelter — a place where she could meet people she might never encounter in real life. These reflections lift the book beyond academic argument into something more intimate.
Technology, Watson acknowledges, has made reading harder. Our attention is under attack. But she refuses to be defeated. The final chapter is a practical guide to reclaiming the reading life — simple, realistic strategies that make reading possible even in a world buzzing with distraction. You close The Wild Mind not with guilt about what you haven’t read, but with genuine hunger for the next page.
4. What is Watson’s main concern about the value of reading
A．It helps students gain high test scores.
B．It trains people to write better fiction.
C．It offers a way to escape from school pressure.
D．It develops qualities that technology cannot replace.
5. What does Watson mean by saying fiction is the “only place where we can be inside another person’s head and still be ourselves”
A．Reading fiction is a very private activity.
B．Writing fiction requires deep self-understanding.
C．Characters in fiction are more real than actual people.
D．Fiction allows readers to understand others’ experiences.
6. What can be inferred about Watson’s personal experience with reading
A．She was forced to read by a teacher.
B．She preferred academic books to novels.
C．She used reading to get through difficult times.
D．She began reading seriously as a university student.
7. What is the author’s attitude toward The Wild Mind
A．Critical and doubtful.
B．Calm and objective.
C．Positive and encouraging.
D．Humorous and light-hearted.
C
Rice farming is a grueling annual cycle. Farmers plow the field, sow the seed, and repeat. This exhausting routine leaves farmers with little rest between seasons. However, Chinese scientists have now developed a new rice variety that grows more like a permanent orchard than an annual crop.
Modern cultivated rice is an annual plant that dies after one harvest, yet its wild ancestors were hardy perennials (多年生植物). To bridge this gap, plant geneticists Han Bin and Wang Jiawei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified the genetic mechanism enabling ancient plants to survive winter and regrow from their roots. Published recently in Science, their research identifies a specific genetic region named EBT1 — the biological master key to this longevity.
By suppressing aging signals, the EBT1 region keeps the rice in a youthful, vegetative state, allowing it to escape the typical death cycle and regrow from its base year after year.
Technically, all rice plants possess a brief “second life” known as ratoon rice (分蘖稻). However, this natural regrowth is too weak to sustain full-scale operations. To strengthen this feature, the researchers developed a productive line called G43. While standard annual rice produces only about a dozen secondary tillers, the G43 variety yields roughly 70. By combining EBT1 with two known low-growing genes, the team successfully created “wild-like” plants capable of surviving at least two years in field environments such as Hainan.
This research advances our understanding of plant life-history evolution and provides essential genetic resources for improving perennial rice. As Moto Ashikari, a plant geneticist at Nagoya University, observed: “This offers convincing proof that annual crops can be transformed into perennial crops through genetic approaches”.
8. What does “grueling” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Extremely tiring.
B．Highly productive.
C．Technically complex.
D．Traditionally common.
9. What is the main idea of Paragraphs 2 and 3
A．Aging of ordinary rice plants.
B．History of China’s rice genetic research.
C．Differences between wild and modern rice.
D．Discovery of the key gene for perennial rice.
10. Why was the G43 variety developed
A．To test EBT1 in real fields.
B．To add foreign genes to rice.
C．To strengthen ratoon rice for farming.
D．To compare wild and cultivated rice.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．Ancient Rice Genes: A Lost Treasure Rediscovered
B．The Endless Harvest: Scientists Rewrite Rice’s Life Cycle
C．From Wild to Farm: The Return of Hardier Rice Varieties
D．Genetic Engineering: Transforming Global Rice Production
D
The relationship between physical activity and cognitive health has long interested researchers, who generally treated exercise as a single category. Yet not all forms of exercise appear to yield equal benefits. A landmark study conducted by scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine offers convincing evidence that dancing may occupy a unique position in the ranking of brain-protecting activities.
Between 1980 and 2001, the researchers tracked nearly 500 elderly residents of the Bronx, monitoring their leisure activities and cognitive function over two decades. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, revealed a striking pattern: while cognitive activities like reading and board games reduced dementia (痴呆) risk by approximately 7 percent per activity, physical pursuits showed more varied outcomes. Swimming and cycling demonstrated modest protective effects, but dancing emerged as the standout performer, with frequent participants showing a 76 percent lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who rarely danced.
What distinguishes dancing from other forms of exercise The researchers suggest that its superiority lies not in body movement alone, but in the combined cognitive demands it requires. A dancer must process rhythm, recall order, navigate spatial relationships, and often move with a partner — all while maintaining balance and posture. This continuous multitasking, the researchers suggest, may create a more robust neural workout than repetitive aerobic activities like walking.
Nevertheless, the study’s authors warn against overstating these findings. The data, they note, indicate correlation rather than definitive cause, and the precise neurological mechanisms remain unclear. Moreover, the study population was geographically concentrated, raising questions about broader applicability.
Still, the implications are difficult to ignore. In an era where pharmaceutical solutions to cognitive decline remain hard to achieve, the prospect that something as accessible as dancing might strengthen the aging brain carries undeniable appeal. Whether the waltz, the tango, or freestyle movement, the message seems consistent: when it comes to preserving mental sharpness, engaging both body and mind may be the most effective approach of all.
12. What does the author imply about previous research on exercise and brain health
A．It overlooked differences among exercise types.
B．It overestimated the benefits of aerobic exercise.
C．It ignored the social aspect of activities.
D．It relied too much on animal studies.
13. Why does the author mention swimming and cycling
A．To show their popularity among the elderly.
B．To compare them with mental activities.
C．To set a baseline for dancing’s advantages.
D．To challenge the study’s methodology.
14. What is the researchers’ attitude toward their findings
A．Fully convinced.
B．Mildly skeptical.
C．Highly critical.
D．Completely dismissive.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Dancing should replace medical treatments.
B．Physical exercise can prevent cognitive decline.
C．The Bronx study has settled debates on dementia prevention.
D．Combined mental and physical engagement benefits the brain most.

Food is not just a means of providing the nutrition. 16 In fact, food has the power to bridge cultural gaps. Each cuisine has its own distinct flavors, spices, and cooking techniques that reflect the history and traditions of a specific region. By experiencing the flavors of different cultures, we can appreciate their culinary (烹饪的) heritage. So how does food promote cultural exchanges
17 When we try dishes from other countries, we’re exposed to new ingredients, cooking methods, and cultural practices. For example, trying Indian curry allows us to appreciate the diverse regional cuisines within India. Through food, we can learn about the customs, traditions, and values of a particular culture.
Food also has the power to break down barriers and create connections between people. 18 When we sit down to eat with someone from a different culture, we are not just sharing food, but also sharing stories, experiences, and traditions, which promotes respect for one another’s cultures.
Moreover, food festivals and culinary events provide opportunities for cultural exchanges. Whether it’s a street food festival or a cultural fair, these gatherings allow individuals to interact with one another and learn about different cultures through their food. 19
Finally, the globalization of food has made it easier than ever to experience different cuisines. With the rise of international restaurants and food delivery services, we can now enjoy dishes from around the world without leaving our own neighborhoods. 20 In conclusion, food plays a crucial role in promoting cultural understanding.
A．Food also makes us open-minded to new ideas.
B．People often have strong emotional reactions to unfamiliar foods.
C．First, food serves as a gateway to learning about different cultures.
D．Meanwhile, it is also a way to express identity, tradition, and heritage.
E．By participating in these events, we can build bridges of understanding.
F．This accessibility allows us to explore and appreciate different cultures every day.
G．Sharing a meal is a universal act that goes beyond language and cultural differences.

I’ve grown used to the pause when someone hears my name — Goodluck — and looks at me with 21 or curiosity. “Wait, is that really your name ” “How do you spell it ” It’s something I didn’t think would require a lot of 22 .
Back in Nigeria, this never happened. Names like Precious, Beauty, Grace, were 23 . Mine was just another name in the system. I didn’t 24 how different my name was until I traveled to the United States to continue my education when I was 19 years old. That was when “Goodluck” started to 25 . I thought it would be easy to remember — after all, it’s something people say to each other. But 26 recognition, it was met with repetition and disbelief. I had to repeat it countless times and insist that I was not joking.
But I also felt a sense of gratitude; I never had to change my name to 27 , to replace it with something that won’t be “damaged” when pronounced. I’ve met people who 28 the names their families gave them just to avoid the 15-minute pronunciation 29 . While I understood their reasons, it made me prouder that I didn’t have to 30 .
In Nigerian culture, names are more than words — they’re 31 . Some reflect the circumstances of birth, while others are blessings or even prayers for the child’s future. Mine remains a 32 . I’ve never asked why my parents chose it. To me, the meaning isn’t something I need answered immediately — it’s meant to be discovered as I grow.
What started as just a name has become a part of me. It’s also one of the few things I’ve carried 33 . In a new country, my name has become a 34 that connects me to my roots, a reminder that home isn’t 35 — it’s something I carry with me.

The spirit of Chinese craftsmanship dates back to Lu Ban, the legendary Spring and Autumn carpenter. Throughout his career, his innovations, from the saw to complex wooden structures, 36 (embody) careful attention to detail and respect for materials. Lu Ban’s legacy wasn’t just in tools; it was in his belief that mastery comes from patience, practice, and continuous improvement. Even today, his principles are still referenced by artisans seeking 37 (uphold) the highest standards of their trade.
Today, this spirit endures in artisans like Wang Jin, 38 Palace Museum clock restorer who has spent 40 years reviving 200-year-old timepieces. He dedicates months 39 cleaning and repairing each delicate gear, work that blends scientific precision with artistic sensitivity, honoring the past while breathing new life into history. Now many of these restored treasures 40 (display) in the museum, 41 they are admired by visitors from around the world.
In modern industries, this spirit drives excellence too. China’s high-speed rail network, with trains 42 (reach) 350 km/h, relies on engineers crafting every component with unwavering precision. 43 (similar), aerospace scientists behind the Tianwen-1 Mars mission demonstrate this 44 (commit), ensuring every system meets strict safety standards.
From ancient workshops to cutting-edge labs, this spirit remains a cornerstone of Chinese culture — a reminder 45 true success lies in dedication, integrity, and the pursuit of perfection.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节开头续写两段，词数150左右。
It started with a phone call from my son, Nate. “Mom, there’s a dog. She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her, but I bet you can. Can you please just take a look at her when you pick me up ” My teenage son’s request came from a visitor center where he volunteered.
I agreed, and soon I was looking at a mud-covered dog that was resting under a tree. The dog was medium-sized, gold and white, with warm eyes. She watched attentively as people came and went from the visitor center. When a person approached her, she wagged her tail and ran.
Many years of working with various distressed (状态不好的) animals had hardened my heart. I already had three dogs and if I had to have another one, I’d like to use it as a therapy dog. I could see that this sad dog wasn’t therapy dog material. So I turned and walked away.
I convinced Nate to wait several days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. She didn’t. So after a week, I brought her home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a strong Border Collie. I named her Leala. At first, Leala avoided human contact. However, it didn’t take long before she actually wanted to be petted by all the family members.
A month later, at a routine checkup, the vet said, “This is a really good dog. You don’t see many like this.” His words opened my eyes to a new possibility.
Leala was kind to everyone, even the vet who stuck her with needles. Leala quickly became the most well-behaved, sweetest dog I have ever owned. It was a stretch, but I wondered if she could be the therapy dog I’d hoped for.
Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class. She passed with flying colors. When we started making visits to nursing homes and mental hospitals, Leala was obviously one of those dogs that could relate to the internal pain so many people harbor.
On a visit to a children’s group physical therapy session, a non-walking girl refused to use her walker anymore.

On a visit to a children's group physical therapy session, a non-walking girl refused to use her walker anymore. No one could persuade her until Leala walked gently towards her. Leala lay beside the girl and looked at her warmly, licking her hand softly. The girl stared at the lovely dog, a faint smile appearing on her face.
Finally, the girl could not resist and wanted to try. With Leala walking beside her all the way, she held the walker and took steps slowly. Everyone cheered happily. From then on, the girl became more active and brave. Leala brought warmth and hope to her, and truly became an excellent therapy dog.
