In the August sun,it's unbearably hot in my car.I'm in Vancouver,approaching the Knight Street Bridge as I try to get home after work.It's 5:15 pm. Traffic is already slowing down and then it comes to a full stop. I'm stuck even before getting on the bridge.
This has become my normal work commute（上下班往返）routine.Ahead of me is a heavily jammed on-ramp（匝道）.I stare at the endless rows of vehicles，depressed.
At first I think this is not how it looks. The traffic will soon start moving. Seconds pass. Minutes pass. Looking at the rows of cars and trucks glittering in the sun,I start counting—299, 300,301—and I give up.
Suddenly I remember I'm one of the 300 helpless drivers.But I stay focused. When the cars do move,I move carefully,making sure not to bump into other vehicles. Finally, I make it onto the bridge. The traffic is still crawling at a snail's pace.Tired and hungry,I become very anxious.
Just then, I hear a weak sound in the distance.The sound gradually becomes louder, until I can identify it as an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. What do we do? The bridge is packed.There's no room for us to move.
But I'm wrong.Every single car quickly.yet carefully,moves to the side. Without thinking,f follow suit. The lane remains open for a few seconds during which the ambulance flashes through.
Afterward,every car moves back.We closeup the emergency lane,ready to continue our patient wait.Back in my spot,I forget my tiredness and hunger.My anxiety is gone.I start reflecting upon what 300 fellow drivers and I just did.
How did we do that？Despite our exhaustion，we collectively decided to help the stranger who needed the time more desperately than we did. We drew on our sympathy (同情心)and intelligence,requiring no directives.
Although I may seem alone stuck on the bridge,I'm connected to all the other drivers. Together we could make the impossible possible.

A. It was surprising.
C. It was amusing.
B. It was upsetting.
D. It was interesting.
25. When was the author's anxiety gone?
A. When he was stuck in the traffic.
B. After the ambulance flashed through.
C. After they decided to help the stranger.
D. When he heard the sound of the ambulance.
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The author got on the bridge at 5:15 pm.
B. Moving carefully, the author still bumped into other cars.
C. Every driver made room for the ambulance automatically.
D. The author followed the ambulance through the bridge.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The drivers didn't make a difference.
B. The author was stuck alone on the bridge.
C. The author talked with the other drivers.
D. People's kindness made the miracle happen.

A 2020 study in the journal Science concluded that marine heat waves have increased more than 20-fold as a result of climate warming.The authors found that in the first decade after satellites began recording ocean temperatures(i.e.after 1981),there were 27 large marine heat waves,with an average duration of 32 days and an average peak temperature almost 8.5°F above normal;in the 2010s,there were 172,which lasted 48 days on average with an average peak temperature almost 10°F above normal
Much remains unclear about marine heat waves.For example,explains Nicholas Bond, research scientist at the University of Washington and Washington's state climatologist,there is the question of why so many persist for weeks or months. “There must be something else going that helps maintain them,”he says. He notes that one explanation is that as the ocean surface warms，it gives off heat into the atmosphere that prevents cloud cover（云层） from forming，exposing the seawater to increased sunlight and further warming.
However,enough is known about marine heat waves for scientists to be gravely concerned about their potential impacts. Of special note is the fact that those impacts can last long after the heat waves have disappeared.After three years of the Blob, the waters of the northeastern Pacific began to cool in 2016;but years later,scientists are still determining the extent to which the region's ecosystem is likely to return fully to its pre-Blob status. Similarly, notes Scannell, who is a data scientist with Jupiter Intelligence,Inc.,following the 2010-11 Western Australia event,“lots of kelp（巨藻）forests died，and it takes literally decades for those ecosystems to bounce back”.
Eric Oliver,a scientist from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, expressed his own opinion about the potential impact of the heat waves in tropical waters.“I think that’s really a tough issue,”he says.Life in the tropics,he notes,is adapted to“quite a narrow range of temperatures. So that's where things can get really messy. We can have complete shifts in tropical systems.”
28. What can we infer from the figures listed in para.1?
A. The problem of marine heat waves is becoming worse.
B. The satellites enable scientists to record ocean temperature precisely.
C. Climate change is the main result of the marine heat waves.
D. Marine heat waves have been found by scientists for about 30 years.
29. What does the 2nd paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Various factors that lead to marine heat waves.
B. The possible impacts of a warm ocean surface.
C. The possible reason why marine heat waves last long.
D. Scientists' efforts in exploring the causes of heat waves.
30. What do we know about the impact of the marine heat waves?
A. The impact will disappear shortly after the sea water cools.
B. It may take long before the ecosystem makes a complete recovery.
C. Scientists have known enough to restore the impact.
D. The northeastern Pacific and Western Australia are the worst cases.
31. What is Eric Oliver's attitude towards the heat waves in tropic waters?
A. Concerned.
B. Indifferent.
C. Doubtful.
D. Optimistic.
D
People's ability to remember fades with age-but one day,researchers might be able to use a simple,drug-free method to buck this trend.
In a study published on 22 August in Nature Neuroscience,Robert Reinhart,a cognitive neuroscientist at Boston University in Massachusetts, and his colleagues demonstrate that zapping(刺激)the brains of adults aged over65 with weak electrical currents repeatedly over several days led to memory improvements that persisted for up to a month.
Using a non-invasive(非侵入的，无创伤的)method of stimulating the brain known as transcranial alternating current stimulation(TACS),which delivers electrical currents through electrodes(电极)on the surface of the scalp(头皮)，Reinhart's team conducted a series of experiments on 150 people aged between 65and 88. Participants carried out a memory task in which they were asked to recall lists of 20 words that were read aloud by an experimenter. The participants underwent TACS for the entire duration of the task,which took 20 minutes.
After four continuous days of this protocol,participants who received high-frequency stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex（背外侧前额叶皮质）had an improved ability to remember words from the beginning of the lists,a task that depends on longterm memory. Low-frequency zaps to the inferior parietal lobe（顶下小叶）enhanced participants' recall of items later in the lists,which involves 'working' memory—the memory that allows the brain to store information temporarily.Participants' memory performance improved over the four days—and the gains persisted even a month later. Those who had the lowest levels of general cognitive function before the study experienced the largest memory improvements.
“I was both impressed and surprised by this,by this paper,”says Simon Hanslmayr,a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Glasgow,UK. He notes that along with other scientists, he has been sceptical about whether TACS can lead to meaningful changes in cognition. One issue has been that TACS devices generate electrical currents much weaker than those created by other methods of stimulating the brain,so it hasn't always been clear whether they can transmit enough electricity to the brain to modify its function. However, the authors of this study convincingly showed that their protocol was linked to “consistent and quite strong improvements in memory”,Hanslmayr says.
32. What does the underlined word “buck”mean in paragraph 1?
A. Start.
B. Set.
C. Follow.
D. Resist.
33. What can we learn about the experiments?
A. The experiments involved people aged over 65 and young students with good memory.
B. Participants were required to recall lists of 20 words when they read the words aloud.
C. Stimulating the inferior parietal lobe with-low-frequency boosted the short-term memory.
D. High frequency stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex improved 'working' memory.
34. Why has Simon Hanslmayr been sceptical about TACS?
A. The electricity sent by TACS is not sufficient to guarantee meaningful changes in cognition.
B. The people who have poor cognitive function experienced the least memory improvements.
C. TACS devices generate electrical currents as weak as those created by other methods.
D. TACS devices cannot ensure consistent and quite strong improvements in memory. 35. What is the text mainly about?
A. TACS can lead to insignificant changes in cognition.
B. TACS can help people with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
C. Brain stimulation leads to improvements in memory.
D. Brain stimulation benefits those with poor cognitive function most.

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Success looks different for everyone.For one person,it could mean getting a promotion or creating a better work-life balance. 36 .
But while making changes in your life can seem overwhelming,it doesn't have to be.You can do small things that have a huge impact on your quality of life. Check out three things you can do that will empower you to be more successful—on your own terms.
Set weekly and monthly goals.
Setting regular goals for yourself can keep you from getting stagnant（停滞的） in both your professional and personal life.The best way to keep track of your goals is to write them down.Put them down on a whiteboard,a notepad on your desk,or an online calendar—anywhere you can see them regularly.("Exercise three times this week”,for example,or“Finish a big presentation.”) 37 .
set aside time for yourself every day.
38 It's important to stop,take a breath,and have some time just for yourself. Set up calendar alerts or block out "busy" time in your daily calendar that makes you unavailable to others. During this time, you could go out for areal lunch away from your desk, take a walk, work on a side project, or even read a book. Whatever it is, be sure to use this time to recharge your batteries.
39 .
It's easy to spend all your downtime（休息时间）watching shows on Netflix or obsessing over social media. But when was the last time you tried something.new that put you out of your element? In order to avoid getting bored,it's important to break out of your comfort zone by finding fresh activities and passions. 40 Pick one thing that you've always wanted to do,or something that you liked when you were a kid and never pursued.Then start researching ways you can make it happen. By opening yourself up to different experiences,you're bound to learn something new about yourself.
A. Expand your horizons.
B. Change the way you surf the Internet.
C. It's best to switch off your devices at least an hour before you go to bed to ensure you sleep soundly.
D. By having a constant visual reminder，you’ll be able to keep yourself accountable（对自己的决定等负责任的） and measure your progress better.
E. Someone else may want to improve their relationships or learn new skills.
F. Too often，the workday speeds by in a nonstop blur（模糊）of meetings，email，and deadlines.
G. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to do this from volunteering to joining a sports league to learning a new language.
