On a February morning 13 years ago we pulled into the driveway, excited and proud, and lined up our kids for photos. It was a big day, but back then we had no idea how it would shape our lives.
That van (旅行拖车) is linked to so many great memories - soccer games, camping trips, and a 24-hour journey to Florida to visit grandparents and one three-week holiday to the east coast, full of long conversations and classic rock played on cassette tapes. In that van, I laughed my head off while going out with friends, and cried my eyes out at the death of a loved one. I've dreamed and planned and moved homes while traveling on those four
trusty wheels.
There were days when it drove me nuts, too. On cold winter mornings, the sliding doors would freeze shut. Anyone who wanted to sit in the backseats had to climb in through the front. Still, we've held on to our van for as long as possible. It never ever let us down, even as the repair bills got a little bigger each year and we faithfully fixed whatever was needed to keep it on the road safely.
Yesterday we finally made the decision. It was time to find a newer, smaller, more energy-efficient (高效节能的) replacement. The van was telling us it was time.
Saying goodbye is never easy. As we close the minivan chapter〔篇章〕of our lives, my heart sinks -- not just for the much-loved metal box on wheels that we've driven for more than a decade, but for the days, months and years that passed by so quickly. The story of our minivan is the story of our family.
25. Why does the author mention their journeys to Florida and the east coast?
A. To share the fun they had with their van.
B. To prove that the van is convenient for travel.
C. To show how much her family loved traveling.
D. To stress the importance of keeping cars in good condition.
26. The underlined phrase “drive someone nuts〞 probably means .
A. make someone excited
B. make someone crazy
C. make someone confused
D. make someone amazed
27. How did the author feel when they decided to buy a new car?
A. Relieved
B. Happy
C. Disappointed
D. Sad
28. What could be the best title?
A. Our Trips on the Road
B. Our Much-loved Minivan
C. Memories of Our Family
D. Nothing Stays Forever
C
It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may
seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and t hey don’t identify you or any of their friends -- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively〔挑衅地〕in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remem bered their past “fights〞. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when
a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certa in area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,〞 lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
29. According to the article, people commonly believe that _______.
A. fish can only remember part of their past experiences
B. fish can remember things that happened long time ago
C. a fish’s memory lasts for only seven minutes
D. fish don’t recognize any of their friends
30. How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.
A. where to get food and survive
B. their enemies and fight
C. where to escape to when in danger
D. their friends and help each other
31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.
B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.
C. African cichlids don’t belong to the list of smart animals.
D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.
32. What is the article mainly about?
A. Fish having very bad memories.
B. Fish being smarter than we thought.
C. How fish improve their memory.
D. What we can learn from fish.
D
British historian Jacob Bronowski once wrote, “Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding.〞 This is especially for extreme climber Alex Honnold, who climbed California's El Capitan by himself, without any safety ropes(绳子), in 2021. The New York Times called it“one of the greatest athletic feats〔功绩〕of any kind, ever.〞Now you can watch him do it. The documentary Free Solo, which hit Chinese mainland
cinemas on Sept 6, shows Honnold’s brave journey up the 914-meter high mountain. The film won the 2021 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in February. In it, Honnold gives us some useful advice:“You’ll always feel fear, but over time you’ll realize the only way to truly manage your fear is to broaden your comfort zone. It means that challenging yourself is important.〞
In fact, free climbing requires perseverance, control, and concentration. “I’m not thinking about anything when I’m climbing,〞Honnold said, “I’m focused on doing what’s in front of me.〞 This strong focus on the present is a sort of meditation (冥想) that we can use in our daily routines.
While the documentary seemingly praises extreme athletes for pushing the limits of human potential, some are concerned about Honnold risking his own life. “His deed puts great stress on his loved ones, even when he succeeds,〞 Climbing Magazine noted.
Free Solo seems to say that with enough courage and dedication, one can achieve any goal. However, the movie may also be viewed as the disturbing story of a climber who went against all better judgment and got away with it.
33. What do we know about Free Solo?
A. It won an Academy Award in 2021.
B. It was adapted from a book about mountain climbing.
C. It introduces famous extreme climbers around the world.
D. It shows how Honnold climbed El Capitan without any protection.
34. How does Honnold deal with his fear?
A. He practices meditation regularly.
B. He does different exercises to help him relax.
C. He keeps taking on new challenges.
D. He asks experienced climbers for advice.
35. What do Honnold’s loved ones think of him, according to Climbing Magazine?
A. They believe he should value his own life.
B. They think he will reach even greater achievements.
C. They think he should have done more training.
D. They see him as an idol.
