The pig passed by and saw the wolf, rushing down the mountain right away. The rabbit heard the voice of the wolf and dashing away swiftly.

Huawei Technologies is a front runner again in the smartphone market with a new phone powered by an advanced chip （芯片）though banned by US, which may have a great influence on both Chinese and US semiconductor （半导体）industries, experts say. The new Mate 60 Pro, uses a 5G application processor （处理器）. showing “a made in China design and producing milestone”, according to analysts.
The team believes the 7 nanometer （纳米）processor was made by China’s leading chip factory, SMIC. “It shows China’s semiconductor industry has been able to make the advanced processor without EUV machines （极紫外线光刻机）,” said Dan Hutcheson. “The difficulty of this achievement also shows the adaptability of the country’s chip technological ability.”
The most up to date EUV machines are used to produce advanced chips. SMIC has no chance to use EUV machines because of US export controls. Industry experts said it could use some older equipment to produce advanced chips.
Huawei has been on the US merce Department’s Entity List, which limits its chance to use US technologies. The new phone’s 5G chipset, the operating system HarmonyOS （鸿蒙）and other technical differences from its petitors show that “Huawei is back after three years in the wilderness”, said George Koo. He believes the achievement would not be possible without partners in China and a domestic supply chain, from design software and semiconductor production to necessary chemicals and materials.
Huawei’s technological advances have promoted some US lawmakers to ask for tougher restrictions, who suggested the US should end all its exports to both Huawei and SMIC. “America’s shortsighted plan to separate from China will lose the profits of leading US providers of advanced chips.” said Koo. “These providers will see their advantages disappear. In the short term, they are not allowed to sell to China. In the long term, China will not need to buy from them.”
The technological breakthrough was expected to help Huawei in China, especially in petition against Apple. “If Huawei can supply and increase the production of its own Kirin （麒麟）9000S (chip), we see the Mate series phone as an opportunity for Huawei to increase its shipments and regain its market share, potentially causing risk to iPhone sales, especially in the Asia Pacific,” analysts at BofA Securities said last week.
28．What does the 5G application processor of the new Mate 60 Pro stand for?
A．The advance of chip technological ability in China.B．The most advanced processor at present in the world. C．The technological breakthrough of Apple.D．The technical development of US semiconductor industries. 29．What influences does the new Mate 60 Pro have on US according to the fifth paragraph?
①Asking for the stricter limits to Huawei.
②Leading to the increase in market share of iPhone.
③Causing the profit loss of leading US providers.
④Promoting the development of SMIC.
A．①②B．①③C．②④D．①④
30．Why can Huawei make the great achievement in producing advanced chips?
A．Because Huawei has access to EUV machines.
B．Because Huawei depends on its efforts and some Chinese partners’ supports.
C．Because Huawei has the most advanced chip techlonogy in the world.
D．Because Huawei has the operating system HarmonyOS, and other technical differences from its petitors. 31．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Huawei can use the most up to date EUV machines.
B．Huawei will need to buy the most advanced chips from US in the long term.
C．China’s semiconductor industry has been able to make the 7 nanometer processor without EUV machines. D．Huawei’s technological advances will promote the development of semiconductor （半导体）industries in China.

Do you have a younger brother? Does he always get in trouble? Well, there might be some science behind that.
According to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, second born boys are more likely than first born boys to behave badly, which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brother or sister sprites.
Researchers, who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling （兄弟姐妹）pairs from Denmark and Florida, found second born boys are 20% to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems. If you’re the second born child you may want to have a little chat with your parents. The reason why second born siblings may be worse behaved than first born is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.
“Second born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their elder siblings because first born children experience their mother’s maternity leave （产假）. First borns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with mum following their birth, but the time mum takes off with younger siblings, too.” the authors explain.
It’s not just about the parents, however. Speaking to NRP, coauthor Joseph Doyle said, “The first born has role models, who are adults. And the second, later born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2 year olds, you know, their elder siblings. The difference of parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences we see in the labor market and what we find in behaviors against regulations, even against laws. It’s just very difficult to separate those two things because they happen at the same time.”
The results, the authors argue, have an important effect on social policy.
32．What does the underlined word “sprites” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Losers.B．Troublemakers.C．Close panions.D．Parents’ pets. 33．According to the report, what influences the second born children’s behavior?
A．Challenges of their elder siblings.B．The amount of attention they receive from parents. C．More family problems they are faced with.D．Fewer chances of talking with others.
34．Joseph Doyle holds the opinion that the elder siblings ______.
A．have the same role models as their younger ones.
B．are not to blame for their younger siblings’ failure.
C．are partly responsible for their younger siblings’ problems.
D．tend to receive less attention from their parents.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Parents Prefer First Born Kids.B．How Parents Improve Family Relationships.
C．Social Policy Guides Family Education.D．Why the Second Born Tend to Be Misbehaved.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

I thought business cards had gone out of fashion in the digital age, but I was wrong. I attended a conference recently, and everywhere I looked I saw people exchanging contact details with small cards.
It makes you relieved to know that your new acquaintance （认识的人）has a lasting record of you rather than having to rely on their memory. 36 . And, if someone doesn’t take your card, there’s little hope of them knowing your name beyond this conversation right?
Well, partly. If you leave it to chance, they probably won’t keep your name in their head long. 37 .
• Be interested in them. It’s a great way to make people willing to be receptive. If they’ve got an unusual name, ask them about it. Without even realizing, they’ll be automatically more interested in who you are.
• 38 . When they realize that you know them, they’ll feel it’s even more important to remember you.
• Keep them focused. Distractions are the enemy of recall, so try not to do anything else while you introduce yourself. 39 , otherwise that thought process will replace your name in their short term memory.
• Remind them to practise. Retrieving （检索）information is a powerful way to implant it in the brain.
40 . And if you leave enough of a gap for them to try a little to recall who you are, you’ll have the greatest impact on their memory long term.
A．Write their names on your card.
B．Repeat their names in conversation.
C．How to find a way to remember your name is a big problem.
D．And don’t ask them something difficult immediately afterwards.
E．After all, remembering names is one of the hardest learning tasks of all.
F．However, there are some easy ways to impress your name on their brain.
G．So connect with the person again after your meeting with a followup email, for example.

The Forgotten Pages
Once upon a time, there was a small village surrounded by mountains and trees. The villagers were used to their
robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah.
Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things.
One afternoon, she came upon an abandoned cottage which looked very old. She tip toed slowly to the door and opened it. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Hannah’s excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with joy!
Hannah realized she had found a hidden treasure. She shared everything with her friends but heard roars of laughter! Confused and hurt by this reaction, she did not give up. She eagerly read these books full of adventurous tales and was inspired by the characters who struggled for good with their determination, learning the power of love and friendship, and that the true strength lies within one’s own heart!
With the good in heart, she decided to share the tales with the villagers. She knew it would be a difficult journey, but she wanted to share the gold with everyone. Hannah started telling tales every day at the cottage.
From the start, only her very good friend, Sanuki, and her family came to the readings. But the word of her famous tales spread rapidly causing more and more people to e to the readings.
Everyone would gather in the old cottage as she told her stories. They transformed it into a holy place full of adventures and imagination.
Hannah reminded everyone through her tales of the importance of human connection, empathy, and love. She helped the lost find their bright path.
She became a beacon （灯塔）of hope, a reminder for everyone that even in the dustiest corners, there can be a hidden treasure. And that treasure is not always gold, it can be a tale simply waiting to be shared. The forgotten treasure lying in the old cottage transformed Hannah, whose passion and dedication blew life into the tales, and her words breathed new life into villagers’ uninformed （蒙昧的）souls.
