When you hear the word "uncertainty", how do you feel? Scared, anxious, excited or challenged? With many global challenges still ongoing, we are likely to face even more of the unknown, so we had better get accustomed to managing it.
So how do we detect uncertainty and which part of the brain is responsible for it? Researchers have found that noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素) is the key chemical involved in our response to uncertainty.
To investigate the role noradrenaline plays when we are faced with uncertain events, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted an experiment with mice. The animals were trained to push a lever(杠杆) down when they heard a high frequency noise. If they did this, they were rewarded with a drink of water. They were also trained to learn that they'd receive an unpleasant puff of air if the lever was activated when a low frequency noise was played. But the researchers added in an element of uncertainty by including a sound where the frequency was unclear.
From this experiment, the researchers discovered that a small part in the brain called the locus coeruleus—an area that modulates noradrenaline—was essential in detecting uncertainty. When the high frequency was clear and the reward was expected for the mice, their noradrenaline release was small. But when the outcome wasn't clear, and the reward was a surprise, the release was much larger. This was how the mice's brains learned to deal with uncertainty.
A study with humans was also carried out. They discovered that the subjects' neurons (神经元) in the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) respond much more to loss than to gain. Namely, this area rules our avoidance behaviour when we are under stress. This helps us understand our unwillingness to expose ourselves to uncertainty.
Once we understand that our cognitive and emotional responses to uncertainty are a necessary part of the human experience. Acknowledge instead of fear them, perhaps making big decisions can seem less stressful.
(1)、What is the uncertainty in the experiment with mice?A、The high frequency noise. B、A drink of water as a reward. C、The noise with unclear frequency. D、The action to push a lever down.(2)、What does the underlined word "modulates" in paragraph 4 mean?A、Removes. B、Adjusts. C、Lessens. D、Boosts.(3)、How does the prefrontal cortex influence our choices when we're stressed?A、By seeking rewarding outcome. B、By maintaining balance. C、By reducing uncertainty. D、By avoiding negative outcome.(4)、What does the author want to tell us in the text?A、Responses to uncertainty come naturally. B、Uncertainty gives birth to potential risks. C、Experiments can predict expected outcomes. D、Noradrenaline tends to result from uncertainty. -

In present-day Romania, a decreasing number of craftsmen practice what's thought to be a centuries-old craft. They search the forest for a fungus (真菌), which grows within trees and sends out shelf-like mushrooms a few inches wide. The fungus is shaved lengthwise into thin strips. Those strips are then stretched to form broad sheets, which can be crafted into hats, bags, jewelry, and ornaments. As far back as 1903, Tlingit craftsmen in what is now the state of Alaska were recorded crafting purses out of a material from agarikon fungus.
However, the craftsmen's process in the early times was about searching for materials, not cultivating them for mass production. Today, the biotechnology company MycoWorks in the US is pioneering in cultivating mycelium (菌丝). Mycelium is a structural wonder—soft, dense, and strong, making it a great potential replacement for leather.
The operation starts with agricultural waste, like sawdust (锯末), which is heated to remove existing microbial life. Once done, it goes into deep plates of varying sizes. Then fungus joins the party, digesting and growing. In some cases, fabric can be added for the mycelium to weave around. The sheet of mycelium is eventually peeled off the wood blocks, and growth comes to an end. It can be easily mistaken for traditional leather.
MycoWorks is one of a wave of innovators, all of whom assume that a better understanding of mycelium can redefine the limits of fashion and design. In recent years, MycoWorks' products have been used in designer bags and pillows. CEO Matt Scullin praises mycelium as a material in fashion, "It has a bit of a soft touch, and it has a bounce. It can absorb the oil s and heat from your fingers when you touch it." "The early efforts appear to be more moral, and improve eco-footprint. Products made from such material are fully biodegradable—allowing for a future in which dealing with an old pair of shoes might mean simply composting (堆肥) them," he added.
(1)、What is the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph?A、To stress the history of growing mushrooms. B、To introduce a fashion inspired by mushrooms. C、To show ancient mushroom growing techniques. D、To present the novel use of mushrooms in fashion.(2)、What does paragraph 3 focus on about mycelium?A、Its high quality. B、Its growing process. C、Its shortcomings. D、Its working life.(3)、What does Matt Scullin think of mycelium as a material in the field?A、It offers a rough feel. B、It is straightforward to grow. C、It promotes sustainability. D、It is oil-and-heat resistant.(4)、Which can be the best title for the text?A、Mycelium: The Green Leather Alternative B、Fungus Crafts: An Endangered Heritage C、Crafting with Nature: Romania's Fungal Tradition D、Mycelium's Role: From Ancient Craft to Modern Innovation -

A dad from Texas didn't miss a beat when it came to supporting his daughter recently. Cecelia Simmons shared a video of her husband, Andre Simmons, dancing in the stands while their daughter Jazlyn and her Temple High School cheer team performed. In the video, as the cheer team members raise the small balls and go through their routine, Andre Simmons follows right along, nailing the moves right alongside them.
The post shared on social media has obtained over 312,000 views. With tens of thousands of overwhelmingly positive comments on his post, people online quickly shared their reactions. They recommended Andre Simmons as "Cheer Dad of the Year" or applauded his energy and spot-on moves. Simmons himself was quick to say he's not the best dancer and it took him a few days to learn the routine. "Once I got it down pat, I just jumped up there when I heard the band finally bring the song up and I got up there and did it with her," he said.
But the father of five said he persisted because he wanted to create a lifelong memory with his girl Jazlyn, mostly because he was constantly away for work, thereby affording limited opportunities to be in the company of her. "Since she made the cheer team, that was my way of supporting her and kind of relieving the guilt of the lost time. She thought I was doing things that she loved and surprising her with joining her in the cheer during the football game," Simmons said.
Simmons said Jazlyn and her cheer team friends were surprised and "absolutely loved" that he could join in on the fun. The proud dad said it meant "the world" to him to be able to be there for his daughter too. "I love to try to be a super dad when I'm here and create those lifelong memories and it's something for us to look back on and enjoy together," he said and planned on cheering some more and making more memories with Jazlyn.
(1)、What did Andre Simmons do at his daughter's cheer performance?A、He coached the cheer team. B、He filmed the performance. C、He danced with the team. D、He cheered from the stands.(2)、How did people find Andre Simmons' behavior?A、Amusing. B、Admirable. C、Odd. D、Disturbing.(3)、Why did Andre Simmons make such a decision?A、To win the title of "Cheer Dad of the Year". B、To show off his newly learned dancing skills. C、To be the focus of attention on the Internet. D、To make up for being absent from Jazlyn's life.(4)、Which words can best describe Andre Simmons?A、Supportive and caring. B、Selfless and cooperative. C、Bearable and cautious. D、Ambitious and sensitive. -

The Coolest Travel Adventures
Our annual Best of the World list ranks the great travel experiences. Here's our ranked list of the top travel experiences right now.
Gallery hop in São Paulo
São Paulo, Brazil's largest city holds numerous galleries and exhibitions. The crowning jewel is the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), which is expanding to showcase more of its11,000-plus artworks, from pre-Renaissance paintings to contemporary sculptures. Breaking the tradition of the usual model of exhibiting works on walls, MASP hangs some pieces against clear panels, allowing visitors to view the art from all angles.
Ride classic rails in Scotland
Exploring Scotland's wild, scenic Highlands doesn't have to mean roughing it. Departing Edinburgh from April through October, the elegant Royal Scotsman train leads to Highlands adventures such as wild swimming, hiking, and delicacy tasting.

5、 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。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn't know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn't want to. It would break the kids' hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn't bring myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn't seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this otherwise-perfect picture: my conscience was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I've ever done.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With mixed feeling, I finally picked up the phone.
……
I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly.

9、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Recently, a topic featuring "Graduates avoid sending resumes (简历) out of social anxiety disorder" received many comments on Sina Weibo. It seems that social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia (恐惧症), is affecting many people's lives. Over 80% of university students who took part in a survey tended to avoid social interaction due to an assumed social phobia.
For those who have a social phobia, everyday social situations cause strong fear beyond their control because they fear being watched or judged negatively by others.
Having a social phobia can mean physical symptoms like blushing (脸红), upset stomach, or having trouble catching your breath. The good news is that it is treatable. Avoiding social situations because of shyness might mean missing out on opportunities or being rude.
I used to be so shy that I avoided greeting people I knew by pretending to scroll (滚屏) on my phone or turning in another direction. When I saw him, I started scrolling on my phone as usual to avoid greeting him. But he immediately saw through it and asked, "Why did you pretend not to see me?" After my explanation, he replied, "I can relate to feeling awkward, but once someone realizes that you're avoiding him, it can come across as rude."
Being afraid of negative comments, they simply shut themselves down so that no one will have the chance to judge them. But socializing not only leads to judgment. If you're lucky enough, you may come across someone who gives direct but honest feedback, like what the senior journalist did for me. But if some people only offer you negative judgment, simply stay away from them. Why give up on opportunities for social interaction because of fears of comments and judgment?
A.After all, they are not making you any better.
B.Understand it's perfectly fine to make mistakes
C.Here are some tips for overcoming a fear of social interaction.
D.But is avoiding social interaction equal to having a social phobia?
E.However, my attitude began to change when I met a senior journalist.
F.But if you only feel a bit uncomfortable, it might mean you are just shy.
G.Shy people avoid socializing because they take others' opinions seriously

You're lying in bed, looking at the ceiling. Go to sleep, you tell yourself. You shut your eyes tight, force your body to relax, and wait for the pleasant sleep to come. But nothing happens. It's 3 a. m. and you're still staring at the ceiling.
We have all been in this situation. Try as we might, it is nearly impossible to let yourself sleep. Sleep comes to those who let their mind wander and focus on anything other than sleep itself. Count sheep, control your breathing, listen to an audiobook, or whatever—so long as it turns your mind from wanting to sleep. This is a common example of the "law of reversed effort (反向努力定律)."
The Law of Reversed Effort was first created by Aldous Huxley. "The harder we try with the conscious will to do something, the less we shall succeed." Suppose, for instance, that you are learning how to ride a bike. You are told to hold the handlebars, to push off with this foot, to pedal at that speed, to hold your balance here, and so on. When riding, we know all these instructions, but we do not try to do them. They just happen. In Huxley's words, it's "combining relaxation with activity."
There's a spiritual way of viewing the "law of reversed effort" as well. It's something that has a much longer history than Aldous Huxley—it's the Daoist idea of "Wu Wei (无为)." It is to walk the path that opens up and push the door that gives. Call it fate, divine (神圣的) calling, or whatever, but Wu Wei is to stop doing what you think is right, and to let yourself be pulled by some other power. Wu Wei is the grass bending in the wind. It's the stick riding down the river.
There are many moments in life when trying harder makes things worse. When you have a mosquito bite, a broken bone, or a nosebleed, you leave it be. Picking and tapping only worsen the problem. So, too, with a lot of life's major moments.
(1)、Why is the example of the failure to falling asleep mentioned in the text?A、To show how common sleep loss is. B、To introduce the Law of Reversed Effort. C、To recommend effective ways to get to sleep. D、To prove the impossibility of willing ourselves to sleep.(2)、What might help us learn riding a bike according to Paragraph 3?A、Making reversed effort. B、Trying our best to practice. C、Riding in a relaxed manner. D、Remembering to follow instructions.(3)、Which might be an example of "Wu Wei" according to the text?A、Ignore a mosquito bite. B、Sail against a strong wind. C、Will yourself to sleep when suffering sleep loss. D、Remind yourself of instructions when riding a bike.(4)、Where might the text come from?A、A storybook. B、A game book. C、A magazine on healthy life. D、A brochure of Chinese history. -

Want to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you? Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie, as in the old days. On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off. Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets. When does watching a film become such a slog?
The Economist analyzed over 100, 700 feature films released internationally since the 1930s, the start of Hollywood's golden age, using data from IMDb, a movie database. The average length of productions rose by around 24%, from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47 minutes in 2022. For the ten most-popular titles, the average length grew to around two and a half hours in 2022, nearly 50% higher than in the 1930s.
One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property (知识产权), but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out "event" movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: Avengers: Endgame Marvel's three-hour superhero masterpieces, was the highest-grossing (票房最高的) film in 2019. Last year long movies series made up most of the highest-grossing films in America.
Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors' growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr. Nolan to cut out his masterpieces? Moreover, streaming platforms, which do not have to worry as much about the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names by promising them sufficient fund and creative freedom. Netflix funded and released three-hour The Irishman in 2019, a film that would have benefited from a decisive editor, Irish or otherwise.
(1)、The underlined part "a slog" in paragraph 1 refers to a(n) ____.A、pleasure B、effort C、conflict D、feast(2)、What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A、The average length affects the popularity of films. B、Great advances have been made in film industry. C、Hollywood starts a golden age of feature films. D、The average duration of movies has stretched.(3)、What sets the trend of longer movies?A、Competition for the target audience. B、Thirst for more classic productions. C、Influence of streaming platforms. D、Preference for decisive editors.(4)、What is probably the best title for the passage?A、Movie Enthusiasts B、Movie Marathons C、Movie Production D、Movie Influence -

One January evening in 2008, Rachel Lapierre bought a $4 lottery ticket (彩票) at the grocery store. As a nearly full-time emergency-room nurse and part-time volunteer aid worker, after an exhausting day cutting sugar maples, she needed something to lift her spirits. For years, Lapierre had done humanitarian work overseas for organizations and she longed to be able to one day quit her nursing job and focus on the volunteer work she found most fulfilling.
She swore to herself that if she ever won the lottery, that's what she would do. Lapierre went home and scratched her ticket, revealing three sunny faces. Not sure what they meant, she took it to a corner store, where the ticket-checking machine went berserk but didn't reveal the prize. The next day, the lottery office informed her that she had won a lump sum of $675,700 or $1,700 a week for life. She chose the latter. "I know myself," she says. "The lump sum would have melted like snow in the sun."
Staying true to her word, Lapierre quit her nursing job and dedicated her life to helping others through her passion project, Le Book Humanitaire, which has since become a registered charity. Le Book, as Lapierre, now 62, affectionately calls it, began as a simple list of good deeds she jotted down in a black-and-white notebook. She had been using it to keep track of what she had done to help those living in the small communities around her.
To her, the deeds were just small acts of kindness that anyone else might have done. But word started spreading, her phone began ringing and a Facebook page she created for the project became an efficient way to field requests from those in need and those who wanted to help.
Le Book Humanitaire now has a team of 80 volunteers. The non-profit provides local emergency support, homeless and medical out-reach, food delivery for seniors and a community fridge. Its kitchen volunteers make about 500 meals a day, with all food donated from local restaurants, hospitals and schools.
The book itself? It has since been replaced by dozens more, representing millions of deeds. In 2022 alone, the organization carried out nearly 450,700 acts of service.
(1)、What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A、Lapierre chose a lump sum of $675,700. B、Lapierre loved her full-time job very much. C、Lapierre knew the meaning of three sunny faces at first. D、Lapierre didn't think she would spend a large amount of money wisely.(2)、What is Le Book Humanitaire?A、It is a notebook. B、It is a non-profit charity. C、It is a Facebook page. D、It is run by local communities.(3)、Which of the following is true about the project?A、It conducted 45,000 acts of service in all. B、It provided everything a community needed. C、It relied on local donations to provide meals. D、It was just about small acts of kindness for anyone else.(4)、Which words can best describe Lapierre?A、Greedy and close-minded. B、Courageous and easy-going. C、Humorous and self-disciplined. D、Determined and tender-hearted. -
