9、is between 20 centimeters and 1 meter wide, is known as the “cat road” by locals, meaning that it is so dangerous that only cats could walk on it. Whereas, Zhao Yuefang, a postal worker in Ewu township in Huguan county, Shanxi province, had to walk the route every day to deliver mail.Every day at th
10、e crack of dawn, he would start his journey along the “cat road”. From picking up the days post to delivering it to villagers and returning along the same route, it took Zhao four days. During rainy and snowy seasons, the mountain road, part of which hugs the cliffs, would become slippery and danger
11、ous. One day in the winter of 2003, the “cat road” was covered in thick snow and he slipped off the trail. Fortunately, he was able to stop his sharp descent by grabbing a tree branch and slowly managed to climb to safety.By 2012, Zhao had walked more than 300,000 km and delivered over 800,000 piece
12、s of mail. Born and raised in the deep mountains, Zhao truly understands the significance of mail deliveries to villagers. “They depend on the mail to keep in touch with the outside world,” he said. “Their sheer joy written on their face while receiving any post struck me,” he added.In 2012, a 67-km
13、-long tourist highway was built and gone were those days when Zhao risked his life to walk on the “cat road”. But Zhao was even busier than before. “The number of packages I handle daily now exceeds the number I used to deal with in the past,” said Zhao, adding that villagers are turning to online s

Over the course of life, we find things to love and commit to a job, a partner or a community. At times, we struggle to learn from our misfo
17、rtunes to grow in wisdom, kindness and grace.Will Storr, a writer whose work I admire, says this story version of life is a misunderstanding. In his book The Status Game, he argues that human beings are deeply driven by status. Rather than about being liked or accepted, he writes, its about being be
18、tter than others. “When people are obedient to us, offer respect, admiration or praise, thats status. It feels good.”Life is a series of games, he adds. Theres the high school game of competing to be the popular kid. The lawyer game to make partner. The finance game to make the most money. The acade
19、mic game for fame. The sports game to show that our team is the best. Even when we are trying to do good, Storr claims, were playing the “virtue game” to show we are morally superior to others.I think Storr is in danger of becoming one of those guys who ignore the noble desires of the human heart an
20、d the caring element in every friendship and family. The status-mad world that Storr describes is so loveless. In fact, gaming as a way of life is immature. Maturity means rising above the shallow desire for status that doesnt really nourish us. Its about cultivating the higher desires: the love of
21、truth and learning; the inner pleasure the craftsman gets in his work, which is not about popularity, and the desire for a good and meaningful life that inspires people to practise daily acts of generosity.How do people gradually learn to cultivate these higher motivations? To answer that, Id have t

To criticize a viewpoint.31. What story do you think the author will tell next?A. A kings-comeback story. B. A rags-
24、to-riches story.C. A Yuan Longping-style story. D. An overnight-success story.DWould a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by sight if he regained the ability to see? The question, known as Moyneuxs problem, is about whether the human
25、mind has a built-in concept of shapes that is so inborn that a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored vision. Alternatively, the concepts of shapes are not inborn but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight, touch and other senses.After their attempt to test
26、 it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his team carried out another experiment on bumblebees. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. Th
27、e bees were first trained in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch but not see the items. The researchers found that the insects spent more time in contact with the shape they had been trained to associate with the sugar
28、reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the objects.The researchers also did the opposite test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associate
29、d with the sugar reward, though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneuxs problem because the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.However, some experts express their warnings against the result
30、. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual and tactile (触觉) information about straight edges and curved surfaces in their nests.32. What is Molyneuxs problem about?A. Whether mankinds sense of touch outweighs sight.B. Whether m
31、ankinds idea of shape is inborn or learned.C. Whether blind people can identify the shape of an item.D. Whether the blind can regain their sense of touch after recovery.33. How did Lars Chittka and his colleagues try to figure out Molyneuxs problem?A. By experimenting on blind children.B. By conduct
32、ing controlled experiments.C. By rewarding bumblebees with sugar.D. By observing bumblebees in their nests.34. What is Jonathan Birchs attitude towards the conclusion of the bee experiments?A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Dismissive. D. Ambiguous.35. Which of the following can be the best title of t
33、he passage?A. Scientists Found Senses MatterB. Visual-Tactile Puzzle Has Been SolvedC. Experiments Will Help the Blind Regain SightD. Bumblebees May Help Solve Molyneuxs Problem第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。Daily Habits to Help You Get Healthier in 2024Many of us
