  by Alexandra Kleeman($ 28)

  What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common?More than you might imagine.Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aimed at capturing the night sky.

  Gooseberry Mesa,far from population centers,is protected from the nighttime light pollution making it perfect for star photographers.Nature night environments such as this are rare.

  Camping,hiking,and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity between photography and racing.Bubba notes,“Once you fire up the engine there's no turning back-I know I'll be in that scat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees,“I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera-I'm ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba,developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography.

  Seizing the moment is crucial too.“Every minute things are changing-the Earth's shadow.the moonlight.the rise of stars,” Batak explains.“If you lose the moment,it's gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah's rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures.

  Think incoming clouds,wind,or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot?According to Batak.“With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity.Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn't see under a clear sky.”

  The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography.“We're both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries,”says Batak.“The night sky has a unifying power.The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”

  24.Why did Bubba and Batak choose Gooseberry Mesa?

  A.It has a small population. B.It has ideal weather conditions.

  C.It is free from light pollution. D.It has a magnificent landscape.

  25.Which is required in both car racing and photography?

  A.Willpower. B.Teamwork. C.Bravery. D.Creativity.

  26.What does Batak think of unexpected weather as a photographer?

  A.Annoying. B.Disastrous. C.Favorable. D.Challenging.

  27.Which may be a message behind the team's photography work?

  A.Appreciating the night sky. B.Connecting various cultures.

  C.Removing racial boundaries. D.Protecting the environment.

  C

  In gardens across Britain the grass has stopped growing,which is not drought-stricken.In fact.it is greener and cleaner than ever before.That is because the lawns(草坪)are actually artificial substitutes.

  Britons are fascinated by lawns.Country estates(庄园)have long competed to have the most perfectly cut and polished grassland.“What you're saying in big loud capital letters,is ‘I'm so terribly wealthy’、” says Fiona Davison of the RHS(皇家园林协会).With the coming of grass-cutting machines in 1830,the middle classes joined the fun.

  But now Britons have fallen in love with artificial grass.Evergreens UK,which sells the stuff.says it has seen a 120% rise in sales since 2015.Artificial grass is popular with families who have children or dogs and don't want mud dragged through their houses.It has another charm factor,too—people now see gardens as “outside rooms”—pairing carpets of artificial grass with delicately decorated seating and hot containers.

  Not everyone is a fan.Artificial grass contains microplastics that ruin soil and risk flooding.A study finds carthworms gain 14% less body weight when operating under rubber.a form of artificial grass.which might not be a problem for its fans,as wormholes are regular disgusting things.but it disappoints green types.Ms Davison says a group of wildlife-loving gardeners is blooming,many having caught the bug during COVID-19 lockdowns.For example,a landscape designer says they like things less neat and try “to capture that wild clement”.These cco-gardeners are influenced by rewilding projects and are more likely to be environmentalists.

  While three written documents signed by many people have tried to stop artificial grass spreading.the government says regulating what people do in their backyards is wrong.The RHS is concerned about artificial grass,but prefers persuasion to laws.“We say ‘Let a hundred flowers bloom',” says Ms Davison.

  28.What can be inferred from Davison's remark in paragraph 2?

  A.She is very rich.

  B.The gardening competition is fierce.

  C.Operating a cutting machine is fun.

  D.High-quality grassland is greatly valued.

  29.What possibly contributes to the popularity of artificial grass?

  A.Advertising campaigns. B.Gardens' new function.

  C.Messy grasslands. D.Ill-mannered children and dogs.

  30.What does the underlined word “bug” mean in the fourth paragraph?

  A.Interest. B.Earthworm. C.Flower. D.Virus.

  31.Which of the following is a suitable title of the text?

  A.The barrier of British grassland

  B.The appeal of grassland for Britons

  C.The fight to define the great British garden

  D.The competition to become the best grassland

  D

  When asked what his father did for a living,Mike explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things,but it's OK,because he gets paid to do it.”

  He isn't wrong.His father is a hacker(黑客),who is proud of his job,just like doctors are proud of the work they do.Thanks to security researchers' hacking practices.leaks in a new version of the most common Wi-Fi code standard(WPA3)were found before criminals could use them to break into home and business networks.In another case,criminals found an unknown weakness in Google's Android operating systems before security researchers did.giving the bad guys full control of more than a dozen phone models.

  However.finding Mike's father's personalized plates for his car with the word ‘HACKING’.an employee of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles quickly took them away.claiming that a license plate displaying “HACKING” publicized criminal activity.While this reaction really isn't the fault of the well-intentioned employee.it's a sign of how a deeply rooted misrepresentation of his profession has created a fixed wrong image.It seems that the way that hackers are described in Hollywood has contributed to the word ‘hacker’ paralleling ‘criminal’,where hackers arc often referred to as figures in dark rooms engaged in illegal activity while tapping at keyboards.

  But actually,hacking is just an activity.What separates any activity from a crime is.very often.permission.People are free to drive,but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour,which is a criminal offense.Since a driver is just a driver.why must a hacker be a criminal?Someone who engages in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a ‘bad hacker’ but a ‘cybercriminal’.Contrary to popular belief,most hackers like Mike's father undoubtedly play an important role in keeping companies and people safe.

  32.What did Mike's son think of Mike's job?

  A.Admirable. B.Amazing. C.Acceptable. D.Annoying.

  33.What docs the second paragraph mainly talk about concerning the hackers' job?

  A.Its weakness. B.Its importance.

  C.Its variety D.Its security.

  34.Why does the writer mention ‘Hollywood’ in paragraph 3?

  A.To entertain the renders. B.To question the employee's claim.

  C.To clarify the concept of hacking. D.To trace the wrong image of hackers.

  35.What message does the author really want to convey in the text?

  A.Hacking mostly counts. B.Hacking is actually a crime.

  C.Hacking is popular with people. D.Hacking needs licenses.

  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。

  Walking in the city is very different from walking in the park.A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load.__36__ It can case your mind and quicken your pace.The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive(认知的)tiredness and improve reaction times straight away.__37__

  The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people's way of walking and cognitive load.During this trial.participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a l5-metre room at their natural speed.The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene.__38__ On the whole,when walking in city settings.people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace.indicating a higher cognitive load.

  __39__ In the trial.participants were asked to distinguish between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image(the same ones from the first experiment).

  Measuring reaction times in both natural and urban settings.the team found results to support their idea.In urban environments,participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes.__40__ Our brains take longer to process.However.more research is needed to prove that idea.

  A Run to Remember

  Thirteen can be a challenging age.Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body.I also had to deal with my parents' bitter divorce,a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded suburb.

  When we moved.my beloved companion,a small brown pony(小马),had to be sold.

  Feeling helpless and alone.I couldn't cat or sleep,and I cried all of the time.I missed my family.my home and my pony.Finally.my father,realizing how much I missed my pony,purchased an old red horse for me at a local market.

  My horse.Cowboy,was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world.He was pigeon-toed and knock-kneed.But I didn't care about his faults.I loved him beyond all reasons.

  I joined a riding club and faced rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy's looks.I never let on how I felt,but deep down inside,my heart was breaking.The other members rode beautiful registered horses.

  When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance,we were quickly out of the game.I finally realized that my only chance to compete would be in the timed-speed events.I chose barrel racing(绕桶赛),an event in which a horse and its rider attempt to complete a triangular pattern around three barrels in the fastest time.

  One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events.She always won the blue ribbons.Needless to say,she didn't feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show.She didn't need to.I came in next to last.

  The bitter memory of Becky's smirks(得意的笑)made me determined to beat her.For the whole next month,I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena(运动场地).We practiced for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home.On the way home I would be so tired; those five miles seemed twice as long.

  All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came.I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the pattern of barrels,finishing the course with case.
