When I graduated frm cllege and mved t Washingtn, D．C． in 2017, I left all f my friends behind. Making and ffering hme-cked meals was my best attempt at making new friends and curing my lneliness. My fd was pretty gd. Sn enugh, everyne was asking me fr the recipes, which is hw Bun B Bae, my cking blg, came t be in 2019.
As a matter f fact, I spent mst f my childhd in the kitchen with my mm. As a tddler, I'd sit and watch her ck. My duties started with just passing her the ingredients. Sn, I was measuring, steaming and stir- frying my way tward kitchen mastery. I left fr cllege befre I culd learn my mm's best dishes.
In 2015, I went abrad t study in France. I was living alne—truly alne—fr the first time in my life. There were n rmmates, drms r dining halls. I was n my wn and I was desperately hmesick. S, I started calling my mm and asking fr the recipes fr my favrite dishes.
It turns ut that my mm desn't have any recipes and my grandma passed n her knwledge rally. Nw it was my turn. Bun B Bae was initially a space fr me t put what I learned int writing. I didn't want all f the secret knwledge behind dishes t disappear ne day if the ral traditin ended. I wanted t write dwn every piece f advice I was given in detail, t make sure peple culd keep creating these dishes as authentically as pssible.
My blg has given me a space t write abut what I lve n days when I feel t depressed. It's cnnected me t cuntless new Internet friends. Mst imprtantly, writing fr Bun B Bae has taught me that I shuld ck up smething entirely new with my wn experience instead f perfectly recreating my parents’ traditins.

Sme ants have figured ut hw t avid getting lst: build taller anthills, accrding t a recent study.
Desert ants living in the ht, flat salt pans f Tunisia spend their days lking fr fd and reach as far as 1.1 kilmeters frm their nests. T find their way hme, desert ants use a navigatin system, relying n the sun’s psitin and cunting their steps t track their lcatin relative t their nest.
But this system becmes increasingly unreliable as the distance frm the nest increases. “We realized that, whenever the ants in salt pans came clser t their nest, they suddenly pinpinted the nest hill frm several meters distance,” says Markus Knaden, a researcher at Max Planck Institute fr Chemical Eclgy. “This made us think that the hill serves as a nest-defining landmark.”
S Knaden and clleagues captured ants frm nests in the middle f salt pans and frm alng their shrelines. Only salt-pan nests had distinct hills, up t 40 centimeters tall, whereas the hills n shreline nests were lwer r barely nticeable. Next, the team remved any hills and placed the captured insects sme distance away frm their nests. Salt-pan ants struggled mre than shre ants t find hmes. Shre ants relied n the shreline fr guidance and weren’t affected by the hill remval, the researchers cncluded.
The team further cnducted anther study t see if desert ants were deliberately building a taller hill when their surrundings lacked any visible landmarks. S, the researchers remved the hills f 16 salt-pan nests and installed (安装) tw 50-centimeter-tall blcks near eight f them. The ther eight nests were left withut any artificial visual aid. After three days, the researchers fund that seven ants frm the unaided nests had rebuilt their hills. But nly tw ants frm the nests with man-made blcks nearby had bthered t rebuild.
“It implies that ants regularly assess the cmplexity f their envirnment and change their decisins based n their cnclusin,” says eclgist Judith Brnstein f the University f Arizna.
28．What aspect f ants is the recent study mainly abut?
A．Challenges f survival.B．Landmarks f habitats.
C．Intelligence f navigatin.D．Cmparisn f varieties.
29．What des the underlined wrd “pinpinted” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Explred.B．Recgnized.C．Climbed.D．Crssed.
30．Why did researchers set shreline ants in the experiment?
A．T bserve different ants’ reactins.B．T prve impacts f varius habitats.
C．T disturb desert ants’ navigatin system.D．T test anthills’ functins and significance.
31．What cnclusin abut desert ants can be drawn frm the fllw-up study?
A．Evaluate and make changes.B．Visual aid is a must.
C．Cperatin brings victry.D．N man-made blcks are used.

Peple slve sme new prblems readily withut any special training r practice by cmparing them t familiar prblems and extending the slutins t the new prblems. That prcess, knwn as analgical reasning (类比推理), has lng been thught t be an ability nly humans have. But nw peple might have t make rm fr a new kid n the blck.
Psychlgists frm the University f Califrnia, Ls Angeles (UCLA) claim that, astnishingly, the artificial intelligence (AI) language mdel GPT-3 perfrms abut as well as cllege undergraduates when asked t slve the srt f reasning prblems that typically appear n intelligence tests and standardized tests.
But the psychlgists raise the questin: Is GPT-3 cpying human reasning as a by-prduct f its massive language training data set r using a fundamentally new kind f cgnitive (认知的) prcess? They als say that althugh GPT-3 perfrms far better than they expected at sme reasning tasks, the ppular AI tl still fails cmpletely at thers. “It can d analgical reasning, but it can’t d things that are very easy fr peple, such as using tls t slve a physical task,” says Taylr Webb, a UCLA pstdctral researcher in psychlgy.
Webb and his clleagues tested GPT-3’s ability t slve a set f prblems inspired by a test knwn as Raven’s Prgressive Matrices, which ask the subject t predict the next image in a cmplicated arrangement f shapes. T enable GPT-3 t “see” the shapes, and make sure that the AI tl had never met the questins befre, Webb transfrmed the images int a text frmat that GPT-3 culd prcess.
The psychlgists asked 40 UCLA undergraduate students t slve the same prblems. Surprisingly, nt nly did GPT-3 d abut as well as humans but it made similar mistakes as well. GPT-3 slved 80% f the prblems crrectly — well abve the human subjects’ average scre f just belw 60%, but within the range f the highest human scres.
32．What is analgical reasning usually cnsidered?
A．A simple learning skill.B．A unique human ability.
C．A vital thinking prcess.D．A slutin t any prblem.
33．What did Webb want t stress abut GPT-3’s perfrmance at ther tasks?
A．Its system has sme limitatins.B．Its applicatin hasn’t been ppular.
C．It needs t be trained fr these tasks.D．It is gd at cpying human reasning.
34．Why were the shapes changed t a text frmat?
A．T add difficulty t the questins.B．T enable GPT-3 t see the results.
C．T guarantee the freignness f the tasks.D．T test GPT-3’s ability t identify text.
35．What might the psychlgists cnclude abut GPT-3 frm their tests?
A．It will replace humans in sme cases.B．It rarely makes mistakes like humans.
C．It is able t d things very easy fr peple.D．It runs undergraduates clse in reasning.

We’re lucky t live in an age when the sum ttal f human knwledge is pretty available at the click f a buttn. We’ ve never had access t s much infrmatin. 36 . S here are a few strategies t sharpen yur critical thinking.
Watch ut fr cnfirmatin prejudice(偏见). 37 . In repeated experiments, psychlgists have shwn we’re much mre likely t accept smething as evidence if it cnfirms what we already think we knw. And we’re much mre likely t ignre infrmatin if it is nt in line with ur views, which will affect ur ability t prcess infrmatin.
Acknwledge small differences. In life, mst situatins are varying and cmplicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the wrld. Fr example, what clur is the sky? Well, the bvius answer is blue. But at sunrise r sunset, it can be red. On a cld misty mrning, white r gray. 38 .
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One apprach t, well, arguing, is t let g f the idea f being “right”. Or at least seriusly cnsider that yu might actually be wrng. 39 . Really try t understand where the ther persn is cming frm. Arguing is just t waste smebdy’s time.
40 . It’s mre imprtant than ever t knw where yur infrmatin is cming frm. That science-lking paragraphs might lk very cnvincing until yu dig a little deeper and find it was just psted by smene having n qualificatins. That is the case we shuld nt verlk.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfrk, r feeling like yu’re fundamentally right. But in the lng run, it leads t a mre curius, educated and harmnius sciety, which is the biggest win f all.
A．Avid mistakes
B．Check yur surces
C．We all enjy feeling like we’re right
D．But nt all f what’s ut there is quite what it seems
E．S pay attentin t differences in many situatins
F．S dn’t rush t decide, and be actively prepared t change yur mind
G．Putting yurself int the ther persn’s shes can have mre fruitful utcmes

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was 15, I fell in lve with the sngs when they were first released — Bring Him Hme, I Dreamed A Dream and On My Own. Even thugh I hadn’t read Les Miserables and knew very little abut the musical, the sngs captured my attentin and I happily sang alng with enthusiasm and energy whenever I heard them n the radi.
At the age f 17, I watched Les Miserables in a theatre f Vancuver. After getting hme, I was really thrilled and annunced that I wanted t perfrm in the musical. Hearing what I said, my parents did nthing but supprt me, althugh they cnsidered the thught ridiculus, given that we lived 50 kilmetres frm the nearest large twn, Twmba. There was little likelihd f ever having a chance t perfrm.
But sme things are just meant t be. The Twmba Chral Sciety bught the perfrmance rights with the view t perfrm it. Althugh I was nt a member f the chir, they called fr auditins (试镜) and I went alng. I had had n experience singing and had never perfrmed in any musicals but I believed in miracles and hped that there was a place fr me smewhere in the chrus.
I tried ut fr the part f Javert but did nt have the range. Little did I knw there were a hst f parts that needed filling. Frtunately, I was chsen t be in the chrus as well as playing seven rles — ten cstume changes in all. It was s exciting t play all the different parts. Rehearsals (排练) started immediately and I gt a crash curse in singing, acting and dancing. There was s much t learn and as I drve t rehearsals three times a week a little vice wuld say, “Yu are in ver yur head, get ut nw.”
I really had a hard time rehearsing — first with written texts and sheet music and then withut. Persnally, I struggled. S much t learn really made me s crazy that I had a strng desire t quit. And the little vice “Yu are in ver yur head, get ut nw.” rang in my ears again.
