of“courage”is“cor,”the Latin word for heart.Originally,courage meant“to speak ones mind by telling all ones heart.”Whilecourage is often associated with heroism nowadays,I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about whowe are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage.During a mountain-climbing trip with my15-year-old daughterand some college students,I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group.Despite my suggestions to rest,shepersisted until she couldnt breathe properly.Panicked,I called out to the front for help,but there was no response,and we had no cellphone signal.Fortunately,two students just came back to check out on us.They offered assistance and calmed us down.As wecontinued at a slower pace,they shared their own experiences,from starting out as beginners like my daughter tobecoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,”one of them said,looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started.But with practice andproper pace,youll get there too.”“Yeah,dont let your lack of experience stop you,”the other added.“Its okay to admit when youre struggling ornot feeling alright.In fact,its important to speak up and ask for help when you need it.Thats how we improve andgrow.”微信公众号 IAI EnglishReaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me.However,the two studentsaddressed the celebrating group directly,emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments.Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery,and my daughter learned that its okay to be the least experienced in agroup.Courage,Ive come to realize,has a ripple effect.Each time we choose courage,we inspire those around us tobe a little brave r and make the world a little better.24.Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A.To argue for the true essence of courage.B.To question the common belief of courage.C.To show the changing meaning of courage.D.To compare different interpretations of courage.25.What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A.Challenge her own limits.B.Seek help whenever possible.C.Keep to a suitable pace.D.Stick with experienced climbers.26.Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A.The mother asked the girl to rest.B.The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C.The group celebrated the reach of the top.D.The two students pointed out the groups fault.27.What does the author intend to tell us?A.Kindness connects us all.B.Being a beginner takes courage.C.With courage,everyone can be perfect.D.We dont have to be a hero to be brave.C“Its not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,”says PatrickNavis.“Not to mention when they taste it.One even cried with happiness.”The setting for these tearful scenes?Naviss restaurant in a Dutch city.Here,the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs,roots,flowers and nutssome common,others less so.微信公众号 IAI EnglishMost of these ingredients(食材)come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby.To the untrained eye,its likean ordinary wood.But theres one key difference:everything in it is edible.It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanistand environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming,to see what would happen if the rightcombination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest,without chemicals.“Its the first food forest of its kind in Europe and were one of the few restaurants around the worldcooperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around,including some we previously knew little about.He harvests the ingredients and,with his fellow chefs,worksthem into beautifully presented tasting menus,served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city,“To us,fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant,its location,expensive decoration,fancy cookingand wine list,”says Navis.“Its about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of,whichare grown with great attention.”However,he adds,luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients,too.“When looking at cooking in this way,who can argue that caviar(鱼子酱),for example,is more valuable than acarrot grown with specialist knowledge?”微信公众号 IAI EnglishExperimentation is extremely important to Navis.In the next five years,he hopes to open an outdoorrestaurant.But for now,the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and theperennial system used in the Food Forest,reducing the need for replanting each season.28.What can we learn about Naviss restaurant?A.It is well received by its guests.B.It serves food with moving stories.C.It offers experimental food for free.D.It is known for its rare food sources.29.How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods?A.It is a natural forest.B.Diverse plants coexist in it.C.Plants there take longer to grow.D.It provides safe food ingredients.30.What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis?A.Convenient locations.B.Expensive ingredients.C.Innovative menus.D.Fancy cooking techniques.31.What does“the perennial system”in the last paragraph probably refer to?A.The sustainable farming practice.B.Farming with proper use of chemicals.C.Natural farming without human intervention.D.An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant.DMy father started learning French at 57,drawn by the potential benefits of bilingualism in delaying dementia(失智症).Now,20 years later,hes on his third teacher.Many people like my father have attempted to pick up a newlanguage.But can this really boost brain health?According to experts,regularly using a new language brings cognitive(认知的)benefits.If youre trying torecall the right words in another language,your brain is forced to inhibit your mother tongue.This process,calledcognitive inhibition,helps improve your brain function.Repeating this process makes your brain more resistant todiseases like dementia.The more you challenge your brain,the better it functions,even if your brain health starts todecline.However,evidence for the benefits of learning a second language in your 60s is weaker.Research by Dr.LeoAntoniou found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months didnt see any difference in theircognition scores,but people who didnt saw their scores decline.Prof.Diana Smiths 2023 studies found similarresults.微信公众号 IAI EnglishResearchers offered a few potential explanations for their disappointing results.One is that the participantswere highly motivated volunteers,probably of high cognitive level for their age,making it hard to see anyimprovements.“When choosing participants,we have to be careful,are they really representative of thepopulation?”said Dr.Judith Ware.Another is that the language interventions were perhaps too short.These studieshave used language lessons that“were very different in their length and frequency,”said Prof.Laura Grossman.To Dr.Antoniou,the limited findings are not entirely surprising.No one would say that learning a newlanguage for six months would be the same as having used two languages for your entire life.But he does think thatlanguage lessons can provide cognitive benefits by being cognitively stimulating.微信公众号 IAI EnglishPerhaps more important,Prof.Grossman said,learning another language offers other potential advantages,like traveling or connecting with new communities.My father,for example,has remained pen friends with his firstteacher and traveled to France numerous times.And at 76,hes as sharp as ever.32.What happens in the process of“cognitive inhibition”?A.Memory improves.B.Native language is held back.C.Dementia is cured.D.Brain health worsens.33.Which is a possible explanation for the disappointing research results?A.The intervention of the first language.B.The great length of the language course.C.The poor choice of research participants.D.The age difference of the research subjects.34.Whose opinion does the author support by mentioning his fathers experience?A.Leo Antonious.B.Diana Smiths.C.Judith Wares.D.Laura Grossmans.35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Is it never too late to learn a new language?B.Can learning a new language delay dementia?C.Why does my father start learning a new language?D.How does learning a new language benefit aging brain?第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5
