The library f Pharah Ramesses I is said t have brne the inscriptin (碑文) “the huse f healing fr the sul”. Dylan Thmas, an English writer, reprtedly liked t relax by reading Agatha Christie’s detective nvels. As fr the nvelist Yiyun Li, it was War and Peace that helped her get thrugh the tughest times; when she launched a virtual reading grup f Le Tlsty’s masterpiece in lckdwn, 3,000 peple signed up.
In recent years, a grwing bdy f research has backed up the idea that bks nt nly entertain, but als help us recver and grw. They ffer cmpaninship t the lnely, insight t the anxius, and release t thse wh feel trapped.
This feature has mtivated Ann Cleeves t turn her attentin t the ld lng-lasting biblitherapy, she then c-spnsred such a prgram in nrtheast England, wrking with public health teams. Biblitherapy is an apprach emplying bks and ther frms f literature t imprve a patient’s mental health. A review f several studies fund such prgrams have a lng-term effect n peple’s well-being.
But Cleeves has a brader idea in mind. Writing fr The Guardian, she described hw reading and writing fictin helped her understand her wn respnse and allwed her t escape int a different wrld The reading caches will match their patients with apprpriate petry and nvels as well as nn-fictin based n patients’ cnditin, and will intrduce them t librarians and ther readers. After all, what is uplifting t ne reader will seem twee (太花哨的) t anther and what ne finds unpleasant may be reassuring t the next.
Fr Cleeves, it is happy t see peple seek self-discvery in the wrld f bks. Sme may respnd t children’s classic The Secret Garden; thers will recgnize themselves in Tni Mrrisn’s nvels. An ancient idea has fund fresh resnance (共鸣).
24. What did Dylan Thmas and Yiyun Li have in cmmn?
A. They turned t bks fr spiritual cmfrt.
B. They sught inspiratin in freign cuntries.
C. They had a great influence n the wrld literature.
D. They nce launched a reading grup during tugh times.
25. What inspired Ann Cleeves t c-spnsr the prgram?
A. The supprt frm public teams.
B. The healing pwer f bks.
C. The ppularity f the prgram amng peple.
D. The lack f such a prgram in nrtheast England.
26. What can be inferred abut biblitherapy?
A. It can greatly imprve public health.
B. It can bring a bm in bk markets.
C. It can bring in diverse frms f literature.
D. It can be used as a cure fr depressin.
27. Hw des a reading cach play his r her rle?

The cnventinal wisdm abut insects has been that they are unthinking, unfeeling creatures whse behavir is entirely hardwired (天生的). But in the 1990s researchers began making surprising discveries abut insect minds. Sme species f wasps (黄蜂) recgnize their nest mates’ faces and acquire impressive scial skills. Fr example, they can infer the fighting strengths f ther wasps relative t their wn just by watching ther wasps fight amng themselves.
Given the substantial wrk n the cmplexity f insect cgnitin (认知), it might seem surprising that it tk scientists s lng t ask whether, if they are that smart, culd als be sentient, capable f feeling. Since we have n direct windw int the inner wrld f an animal that cannt verbally cmmunicate its thughts and feelings, the questin f whether insects are sentient remained academic.
15 years ag, I perfrmed an experiment in which we asked whether bumblebees culd learn abut threat frm their natural enemies. We built a plastic spider mdel with a mechanism that wuld briefly trap a bumblebee between tw spnges befre releasing it. The bumblebees shwed a significant change in their behavir after being attacked by the rbtic spider. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they learned t avid flwers with spiders and meticulusly scanned every flwer befre landing. Curiusly, hwever, they smetimes even fled frm imaginary threats, scanning and then abandning a perfectly safe, spider-free flwer. Althugh this incidental bservatin did nt cnstitute frmal evidence f an emtin-like state, it did pen the dr t the idea that such states might exist in insects.
Sme research suggested that insects might have psitive states f mind. Researchers discvered that bees actively seek ut drugs such as nictine and caffeine when given the chice and even treat themselves with nictine when sick. Male fruit flies stressed by being rbbed f mating pprtunities prefer fd cntaining alchl, and bees even shw withdrawal symptms when remved frm an alchl-rich diet.
Why wuld insects cnsume mind-altering substances if there isn’t a mind t alter? But these suggestive hints f negative and psitive mind states still fell shrt f what was needed t demnstrate that insects are sentient.
28. What des the example f the wasps indicate?
A. Insects shw signs f intelligence. B. Insects can d cmplex calculatins.
C. Insects can scialize in a skillful way. D. Insects live in highly cmplex scieties.
29. What des the underlined wrd “meticulusly” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Hesitantly. B. Casually. C. Eagerly. D. Carefully.
30. What was unexpected abut the bumblebees’ behavir in the experiment?
A. They avided flwers with spiders. B. They settled n flwers despite threats.
C. They might abandn spider-free flwers. D. They might get scared away by ther insects.
31. What des the text mainly discuss?
A. What insects’ varius behavir can reveal.
B. Hw insects cmmunicate their thughts.
C. What amazing pwers insects pssess.
D. Whether insects are capable f feeling.

The scientists’ jb is t figure ut hw the wrld wrks, t “trture (拷问)” Nature t reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philspher Francis Bacn described it. But wh are these peple in the lab cats (r sprts jackets, r T-shirts and jeans) and hw d they wrk? It turns ut that there is a gd deal f mystery surrunding the mystery-slvers.
“One f the greatest mysteries is the questin f what it is abut human beings— brains, educatin, culture etc. —that makes them capable f ding science at all,” said Clin Allen, a cgnitive scientist at Indiana University.
Tw vital ingredients seem t be necessary t make a scientist: the curisity t seek ut mysteries and the creativity t slve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level f curisity.” reads a 2007 reprt n scientific creativity. “They g further and deeper int basic questins shwing a passin fr knwledge fr its wn sake. “Max Planck, ne f the fathers f quantum physics, nce said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imaginatin, fr new ideas are nt generated by deductin (推论), but by an artistically creative imaginatin.”
But thers disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them apart. Discvering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant t reveal them and wuld prefer t preserve the mystery f creativity, fearing that if it became an bject f study it wuld lse its magic.
But fr Allen, this is all part f a bigger questin f what lies behind anyne’s behavir. “We are nly just beginning t understand hw the characteristics f rganisms, including urselves, aren’t the fixed prducts f either genes r f envirnment/culture, but each f us is the prduct f a cntinual interactive prcess in which we help build the envirnments that in turn shape us,” he said.
“As lng as ur best technlgy fr seeing inside the brain requires subjects t lie nearly mtinless while surrunded by a giant magnet, we’re nly ging t make little prgress n these questins,” Allen said.
32. Why des the authr mentin Max Planck in paragraph 3?
A. T intrduce a famus scientist.
B. T stress the rle f creativity in science.
C. T cmpare different views n science.
D. T illustrate what is curisity in science.
33. What d Allen’s wrds in the last tw paragraphs suggest?
A. Human behavir is changeable and unpredictable.
B. We are passively influenced by ur genes and culture.
C. Our interactin with the envirnment makes us wh we are.
D. Current technlgy has revealed a lt abut human behavir.
34. What is Allen’s attitude t the current study n the human brain?
A. Cautius. B. Indifferent. C. Apprving. D. Pessimistic.
35. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Wh Are The Mystery-slvers
B. Scientists Are Nt Brn But Made
C. Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist
D. Slving Mysteries: Inside A Scientist’s Mind

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。
Once upn a time, we were all questin-asking experts. We started asking ur parents numerus questins as kids. By preschl, ur inquires even reached the depths f science, philsphy, and the scial rder. Where des the sun g at night? Why desn’t hat man have a hme like we d? Why d rcks sink but ice flats? 36
Why des the child’s urge t ask questins grw inactive in s many adults? An imprtant factr is hw the scial envirnments surrunding us change as we age. Schls transfrm frm a place fr asking questins t ne funded by ur ability t answer them. 37 And we recgnize that sciety rewards the peple wh prpse t have the answers.
38 We can be braver abut asking questins in public and encuraging thers t pursue their curisity, t. In that encuragement, we help create an envirnment where thse arund us feel safe t ask questins.
When it cmes t hw we phrase questins, we are advised t pen with less sensitive questins, favr fllw-up questins, and keep questins pen-ended. We can als practice asking questins f and fr urselves by keeping a running list f questins in a jurnal. 39 Finally, we culd set aside time t ask absurd questins like “Hw wuld yu accmplish a week’s wrk in tw hurs?” This type f questins frces us t break the bundaries f ur cmfrt zne.
In the wrld that des nt lk much as it did years ag, we must ask questins. 40 Great questins can pen up ur capacity t change because they allw us t draw peple in, pening them up t sharing knwledge, ideas, and pinins. And they are als ur primary means f learning abut the wrld. In shrt, asking questins is the best way t deepen ur understanding f the things that matter t ur life. As any child culd prbably tell us if we asked.
A. Then, at sme pint, ur inquiring desires disappear.
B. It is a high-payff behavir especially in times f change,
C. The questins we ask depend n ur attitudes as well as the situatins.
D. But as we grw up, asking questins fills us with wrry and self-dubt.
E. As such, ne way t renew ur inquiring spirit is t change the atmsphere.
E. We learn t sell urselves n the jb market by what we knw, nt what we dn’t.
G. It nt nly remves the publicity frm questin asking, but ffers us a place t experiment.
