In a wrking-class neighbrhd n the suth side f El Pas, the tap, tap, tap f Jse Cntreras’ hammer (锤
子) eches frm inside the blue warehuse n Cttn Street. Nearby, Victr Rdriguez narrws his eyes as he
gently mves ne side f a bt tp beneath the needle f an antique Singer sewing machine, creating a
flame-shaped stitch (针脚) in clean white thread.
“These guys are sme f the best in the wrld,” says Jey Sanchez, wner f the bt cmpany CABOOTS,
whse family has emplyed Cntreras and Rdriguez fr mre than 30 years. But when he lks arund the tiny
shp n Cttn Street, he can’t help but remember the way it used t be. “When I was a kid, this place was laded
with btmakers.” he says, recalling the nise created by their hammers, sanders, and sewing machines.
Tday, Cntreras and Rdriguez aren’t just the nly btmakers in the shp---even in their early 60s, they’re
amng the yungest btmakers left in the business. There’s a name fr craftsmen like them, accrding t Sanchez.
Agujas de r, r Glden Needles, are artisans wh still knw hw t make bts the ld-fashined way. Many
have been ding it since they were kids, grwing up near the United States-Mexic brder.
As big bt cmpanies turned t technlgy t streamline prductin and reduce csts, prducers in El
Pas---where celebrities like Taylr Swift still arrive t pick ut their flashy ftwear---are struggling t replace
these artisans when they retire r pass away. In fact, Agujas de r are in such high demand arund the Texas
brder twn that many f them wrk at mre than ne shp.
“Shemakers are a dying grup,” Jse Sanchez says, ndding tward Rdriguez and Cntreras, each
preccupied by the bit f leather in their hands. “Yu just can’t find guys like these anymre. All the stuff they d
by hand, ther peple d with machines. But machines just dn’t d it as well.”
24. What is the main purpse f the secnd paragraph?
A. T highlight the decline f btmaking. B. T intrduce Jey Sanchez’s childhd.
C. T shwcase btmaking techniques. D. T describe the wrk envirnment.
25. Why are Cntreras and Rdriguez called “amng the yungest” in their field?
A. They adpted new techniques. B. They started bt-making late
C. Mst artisans have retired r died. D. The bt shp hired senir craftsmen.
26. What makes Agujas de r highly valued?
A. Their reliance n mass prductin. B. Their cntributin t reduced csts.
C. Their preference fr famus clients. D. Their cmmitment t traditinal skills.
27. What is Jse Sanchez’s attitude twards the future f shemakers?

Peple have been enjying staring ut f the windw f the plane fr a spectacular view fr ver a century.
That’s why yu may be surprised t learn that fr decades, aircraft designers have been cnsidering planes with
vide screens instead f passenger windws.
In 2014, fr example, the UK-based Centre fr Prcess Innvatin (CPI) uncvered a design fr such a
4
windwless airliner. In 2022, Dubai-based airline Emirates released Being 777s equipped with “virtual windws”.
But Emirates has n plan fr a windwless airliner.
Hwever, an aircraft prducer des aim t g windwless. Fr the past few years, a privately wned
Bstn-based cmpany, Spike Aerspace, has been wrking t develp the Spike S-512, an 18-passenger business
jet. Instead f usual small glass windws, there will be a pair f 20-ft-lng (6. 096-meter) digital vide screens
that will stretch the length f the cabin (机舱) n either side f the aircraft. Multiple high definitin cameras n the
utside f the plane will prvide 4K vide, which the aircraft will sew tgether, using special sftware develped
by Spike Aerspace.
“Remving cnventinal glass windws frm planes has ther advantages as well, “Spike Aerspace
president and CEO Vik Kachria says. Fr example, it wuld be pssible t reduce nise frm the engines. It als
wuld strengthen the aircraft and make it safer. “Wherever yu have a hle is a structural weakness,” he said. If
passengers are nt interested in the view, they als will be able t use the screens t d ther things. Yu can watch
vides r even get hands n ffice sftware.
Kachria envisins delivering the first jet withut passenger windws in 2025. Initially, nly peple wealthy
enugh t affrd a private jet will be able t enjy Spike Aerspace’s windwless flying experience. But Kachria
expects that the innvative technlgy eventually will find its way int regular airliners as well.
28. Why are CPI and Emirates mentined?
A. T demnstrate their market dminance. B. T cmpare different aircraft technlgies.
C. T shw early effrts fr windwless planes. D. T explain the challenges f windwless design.
29. What is the main fcus abut Spike S-512 in Paragraph 3?
A. Its size. B. Its design. C. Its prducer. D. Its cnstructin.
30. What is special abut Spike Aerspace’s digital vide screens?
A. They reduce engine nise levels. B. They display exterir landscapes.
C. They remve structural weakness. D. They enable dcument prcessing
31. What’s Kachria’s hpe fr the windwless aircraft?
A. It will upgrade flying experience. B. It will accmdate mre passengers.
C. It will be accessible t general public. D. It will g int mass prductin in 2025.

Human echlcatin (回声定位) has at times allwed peple t ride bikes r play basketball despite being
cmpletely blind frm a very yung age. They typically perceive envirnment by clicking sharply with their
tngues and listening t differences in the sunds reflected ff bjects.
Brain-imaging studies reveal that expert echlcatrs display respnses t sund in their brain’s primary
visual regin, pssibly because lng-term input disadvantage leads t visual regins being repurpsed. “It’s
traditinally thught that the blind brain is different and requires sensry lss fr this neurplasticity,” says
neurscientist Lre Thaler.
Thaler c-led a 2021 study shwing that bth blind and sighted peple culd learn echlcatin in 10 weeks.
5
They examined the brain changes underlying these abilities. After training, bth displayed respnses t eches in
their visual crtex (大 脑 皮 层 ), a finding that challenges the belief that primary sensry regins are whlly
sense-specific.
The researchers trained 14 sighted and 12 blind peple fr tw t three hurs twice a week. They started by
teaching participants t prduce muth clicks, then trained them n three tasks invlving judging bject size and
rientatin, and navigating virtual webs using simulated click-plus-ech sunds tied t their psitins. Bth grups
imprved n all the tasks. “This study significantly cntributes t a grwing bdy f evidence that this is a trainable,
rdinary skill available t bth blind and sighted peple, “says Santani Teng, a psychlgist.
After training, bth grups shwed increased auditry (听 觉 的 ) crtex activatin and higher gray matter
density in auditry areas. Mst surprisingly, they als shwed visual crtex activatin in respnse t eches. “We
weren’t sure if we wuld get this result in sighted peple. s it was really rewarding t see it,” Thaler says. She
suspects that rather than just prcessing visual data, this brain area takes in infrmatin frm multiple senses that
aid spatial understanding.
A fllw-up survey fund that 83 percent f blind participants reprted imprved independence and
well-being. The researchers are wrking t spread the training mre widely as a pwerful sensry tl fr peple
with visin damage.
32. The underlined wrd “neurplasticity” in Para. 2 refers t the brain’s ____________.
A. cntrl f bdy mvements B. resistance t external changes
C. enhancement f ld memries D. adjustment f its wn structure
33. What des the study’s key finding shw?
A. Echlcatin is inbrn. B. Sensry lss isn’t required.
C. Sighted peple dn’t benefit. D. Auditry crtex plays a key rle.
34. Hw des the visual crtex respnd t echlcatin training?
A. It priritizes auditry input. B. It prcesses sund and space.
C. It increases gray matter density. D. It functins differently in bth grups
35. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Echlcatin Training Rewires Visual Crtex B. Sensry Lss Activates Brain Flexibility.
C. Sund-based Training Helps the Blind. D. Echlcatin Cures Visin Prblems.

Even as a child, I was always gal-directed. Every January 1st, I wuld dutifully sit dwn and write ut my
reslutins fr the upcming year: lse 50 punds, run a marathn, have a picture-perfect hme! Oh, and be the
best parent ever wh never yelled at my children! 36 By every March, I fall trapped in a cycle f
ambitin and guilt.
Everything changed when I faced cnsistent battles with breast and appendix cancer. That’s right: tw
different cancers, with tw different treatment plans, at the same time, in the same bdy. 37 And I
6
wn’t lie -the next year was incredibly difficult.
Experiencing dual treatments taught me prfund lessns. 38 Simply waking up cancer-free
became my definitin f triumph. Where I nce measured success by cmpleted checklists, I nw fund victry in
my children’s laughter r sunlight filtering thrugh hspital blinds.
I abandned traditinal reslutins by realizing that big gals invite big failures. Instead, I adpted a
“mini-missin” apprach. 39 Fr example, rather than aiming fr daily gym marathns, I cmmitted
t 20-minute walks three times weekly.
The magic lies in accumulated prgress. After mastering basic nutritin gals (five vegetable servings daily), I
added hydratin targets (replacing sda with herbal tea). This gradual methd even helped me cnquer the fearful
rwing machine -a feat (壮举) I’d previusly cnsidered impssible.
40 My nly “reslutin” last year was aviding medical deductibles (免赔额) thrugh sustained
small health habits. T my delight, it wrked nt thrugh extreme measures, but thrugh the snwball effect f
mini-achievements.
A. It was a lt t deal with.
B. Immediate results ften mask lng-term csts
C. Survival reshaped my understanding f success.
D. External pressures weaken self-imprvement effrts.
E. Tiny achievable steps replaced mnumental demands.
F. Piled accmplishments build sustainable transfrmatin
G. In practical terms, my grand plans frequently backfire psychlgically.

Mrs. Parker threw a ball acrss the yard, and her dg raced after it. Dnvan, a neighbr pulling weeds nearby,

cncern ur cuntry. Tday, I first want t discuss ur aging ppulatin and climate change. And lastly, I’ll discuss
this year’s remarkable achievements bth within ur cuntry and wrldwide.
In many cuntries, including urs, there are a grwing number f senir citizens cmpared t the yunger
generatin. This shift is because, in the past, we needed a larger ppulatin t build farms, factries, and cities.
Like many f yu, my family’s lder generatins wrked in agriculture and fd prductin. Hwever, as ur
ecnmy becmes mre advanced and ur quality f life imprves, peple tend t have fewer children.
S, it’s ur duty as a natin t supprt ur elderly citizens wh have made great cntributins t the grwth f
ur cuntry. They wrked hard, raised families, and helped build the fundatin f ur successful sciety.
Our aging sciety represents ur prgress, but it als brings challenges. Last year, we created prgrams fr
quality health care. And nw, we’ll begin ur prgrams fr creating cmmunity buildings. There, we’ll have
vlunteer prgrams where yung peple can help and supprt senirs. And tgether, we will build a better future
fr every generatin, yung and ld.
