“I am nt crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shrtly after perfrming acupuncture (针灸) n a rabbit. “I am ahead f my time.”
If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even sme f his cwrkers ccasinally laugh at his unusual methds. But Farber
is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s ne f a small but grwing number f American veterinarians (兽医) nw practicing
“hlistic” medicine-cmbining traditinal Western treatments with acupuncture, chirpractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate f Clrad State University, started ut as a mre cnventinal veterinarian. He became interested in
alternative treatments 20 years ag when he suffered frm terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but fund little relief.
Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he imprved after tw r three treatments. What
wrked n a veterinarian seemed likely t wrk n his patients. S, after studying the techniques fr a cuple f years, he began
ffering them t pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dg Charlie had a serius heart cnditin. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared t
put him t sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dg’s suffering s much that she was able t keep him alive fr an additinal five
mnths. And Priscilla Dewing reprts that her hrse, Nappy, “mves mre easily and rides mre cmfrtably” after a chirpractic
adjustment.
Farber is certain that the hlistic apprach will grw mre ppular with time, and if the past is any indicatin, he may be right:
Since 1982, membership in the American Hlistic Veterinary Medical Assciatin has grwn frm 30 t ver 700. “Smetimes it
surprises me that it wrks s well,” he says. “I will d anything t help an animal. That’s my jb.”
24. What d sme f Farber’s cwrkers think f him?
A. He’s dd.B. He’s strict.C. He’s brave.D. He’s rude.
25. Why did Farber decide t try acupuncture n pets?
A. He was trained in it at university.B. He was inspired by anther veterinarian.
C. He benefited frm it as a patient.D. He wanted t save mney fr pet wners.
26. What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. Steps f a chirpractic treatment.B. The cmplexity f veterinarians’ wrk.
C. Examples f rare animal diseases.D. The effectiveness f hlistic medicine.
27. Why des the authr mentin the American Hlistic Veterinary Medical Assciatin?
A. T prve Farber’s pint.B. T emphasize its imprtance.C. T praise veterinarians.D. T advcate animal prtectin.

Quantum (量子 ) cmputers have been n my mind a lt lately. A friend has been sending me articles n hw quantum
cmputers might help slve sme f the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve als had exchanges with tw
quantum-cmputing experts. One is cmputer scientist Chris Jhnsn wh I see as smene wh helps keep the field hnest. The
ther is physicist Philip Taylr.
Fr decades, quantum cmputing has been little mre than a labratry curisity. Nw, big tech cmpanies have invested in
quantum cmputing, as have many smaller nes. Accrding t Business Weekly, quantum machines culd help us “cure cancer, and
even take steps t turn climate change in the ppsite directin.” This is the srt f hype (炒作 ) that annys Jhnsn. He wrries
that researchers are making prmises they can’t keep. “What’snew,” Jhnsn wrte, “is that millins f dllars are nw ptentially
available t quantum cmputing researchers.”
As quantum cmputing attracts mre attentin and funding, researchers may mislead investrs, jurnalists, the public and,
wrst f all, themselves abut their wrk’s ptential. If researchers can’t keep their prmises, excitement might give way t dubt,
disappintment and anger, Jhnsn warns. Lts f ther technlgies have gne thrugh stages f excitement. But smething abut
quantum cmputing makes it especially prne t hype, Jhnsn suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands fr smething cl
yu shuldn’t be able t understand.” And that brings me back t Taylr, wh suggested that I read his bk Q fr Quantum.
After I read the bk, Taylr patiently answered my questins abut it. He als answered my questins abut PyQuantum, the
firm he c-funded in 2016. Taylr shares Jhnsn’s cncerns abut hype, but he says thse cncerns d nt apply t PyQuantum.
The cmpany, he says, is clser than any ther firm “by a very large margin (幅度)” t building a “useful” quantum cmputer,
ne that “slves an impactful prblem that we wuld nt have been able t slve therwise.” He adds, “Peple will naturally
discunt my pinins, but I have spent a lt f time quantitatively cmparing what we are ding with thers.”
Culd PyQuantum really be leading all the cmpetitin “by a wide margin”, as Taylr claims? I dn’t knw. I’m certainly nt
ging t advise my friend r anyne else t invest in quantum cmputers. But I trust Taylr, just as I trust Jhnsn.
32. Regarding Jhnsn’s cncerns, the authr feels ________.
A. sympatheticB. uncncernedC. dubtfulD. excited
33. What leads t Taylr’s ptimism abut quantum cmputing?
A. His dminance in physics.B. The cmpetitin in the field.
C. His cnfidence in PyQuantum.D. The investment f tech cmpanies.
34. What des the underlined wrd “prne” in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A. Open. B. Cl. C. Useful. D. Resistant.
35. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Is Jhnsn Mre Cmpetent Than Taylr?B. Is Quantum Cmputing Redefining Technlgy?
C. Will Quantum Cmputers Ever Cme int Being?D. Will Quantum Cmputing Ever Live Up t Its Hype?

stayed where he was. The first thing he did was t seek shelter frm the freezing wind and snw. Using his skis,
Nichlas built a snw cave. He gathered a huge mass f snw and dug ut a hle in the middle. Then he piled
branches n tp f himself, like a blanket, t stay as warm as he culd.
When evening came, Nichlas was really hungry. He ate sme snw and drank sme water frm a nearby stream s that he wuldn’t dehydrate (脱水). Then he returned t his cave and slept.

A Fruit-Picking Trip
Last weekend, my classmates and I went n a fruit-picking trip t a nearby farm. The farm was large with rws f apple trees, and the air was filled with the sweet smell f ripe fruits.
We were divided int grups. With the farmer’s guidance, we gently twisted the apples ff the branches, being careful nt t damage the trees. Sme f us even tk phts with ur baskets full f apples.
It was a great experience. Nt nly did we get fresh fruits, but we als learned abut farming. I hpe we can have mre such activities.

When Nichlas didn’t shw up, his father realized there must be smething wrng. He waited anxiusly in the parking lt fr ver an hur, but there was still n sign f Nichlas. The snwstrm was getting wrse, s he immediately cntacted the muntain’s rescue team. He tld them abut Nichlas’s appearance, the trail he might have taken, and the time they split up. The rescue team quickly rganized a search, using snwmbiles and drnes t cver the west side f the muntain where Nichlas might be trapped. They searched thrugh the night, braving the cld and heavy snw.
The next day, Nichlas heard the sund f a snwmbile. He was verjyed but t weak t shut ludly. He crawled ut f his snw cave and waved his bright ski jacket t attract attentin. The rescue team nticed the mvement and drve twards him. When they fund Nichlas, they quickly gave him warm drinks and fd. Sn, they tk him t meet his father, wh was in tears f relief. Nichlas hugged his father tightly, grateful that he had survived with the skills he learned frm the TV shw.
