One night several years ago, after filling up my car at a gas station and pulling away, I notice a strange sound behind me in I traffic. It sounded to me like someone was dragging a bumper (保险杆) , so I started looking for the car to alert the driver. But no matter how fast or slow I moved, or where I turned, I couldn’t locate the car.
At this point I noticed people on the sidewalk pointing and laughing at me. I stopped and found the gas hose (软管) still attached to my car. I immediately pull out the hose and drove back to the gas station, where I was educated on the economics of breaking a gas pump (泵) .
My memory of that night is odd because I was judging the behavior of another person, who then turned out to be me. Philosophers might say that in these rare minutes, my “I-self” (the seer of things around me) and “me-self” (the one seen) were mentally separated.
This kind of separation is unnatural. Making it your permanent state of mind would be difficult and perhaps even undesirable. Each of us can, however, purposely change the balance of time we spend as observers and as the object of observation—even without doing something as ridiculous as I did. And working to observe more than you think about being observed can be an excellent way to get happier.
We think constantly about how other see us; we look in every mirror; we check our mentions on social media; we obsess over our identity. This brings trouble. Research has shown, for example, that focusing on the world outside yourself is linked to happiness, while focusing on yourself and how others see you can lead to your moods going up and down like a yo-yo. The good news is that you can certainly increasing your happiness by adopting conscious practices that help lower the mount of time you spend in an objectified state.
24. What happened to the author that night
A. He was probably fined. B. He damaged the bumper.
C. He got trapped in traffic. D. He knocked into the sidewalk.
25. What does “I-self” refer to at the early stage in the incident
A. The hose. B. The people. C. The author. D. The pump.
26. What does the author suggest readers to do in the last two paragraphs
A. Separate yourselves from the outside. B. Spend more time being an observer.
C. Avoid being an object of observation. D. Work bard to increase happiness.
27. What might the author continue talking about
A. How to be aware of happiness. B. How to spend our spare time.
C. How to reduce the state of “me-self”. D. How to adjust our moods.
C
Shakespeare described sleep as “the main course in life’s feast, and the most nourishing”. New research suggests it may also be a key nutrient in defend us against Alzheimer’s disease.
Poor sleep has long been linked to Alzheimer’s, but the relationship is similar to the chicken-and-egg puzzle. It isn’t clear which came first. During deep sleep, the brain produces slow electrical waves and flushes out neurotoxins (神经毒素) including amyloid (淀粉样蛋白) and tau (微管蛋白) , two indicators of the disease.
Studies have shown that even one night of terrible deep sleep can lead to an increase of amyloid. A week of disrupted sleep can raise the amount of tau, which is especially insidious because over time it can strangle neurons from the inside out.
A study in the Annals of Neurology found that a sleep pill called suvorexant could reduce amyloid and tau in middle-aged adults with no cognitive problems. The two-night trial showed that amyloid dropped 10%to 20%, and a key form of tau 10%to 15%in people who received a high dose compared to a placebo (安慰剂) group. But these effects need to be studied over longer periods of time—including in older adults at higher risk of Alzheimers. But the study suggests that improving sleep quality among middle-aged adults could help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s later in life.
What has puzzled neurologists, however, is that some people with high levels of amyloid who may appear to have Alzheimer’s based on brain scans nonetheless function normally. Neurologists assume that this is because some people have higher levels of “cognitive reserve.” which enables them to function normally despite neurological damage. But there’s another X factor, which scientists have struggled to identify. A new study suggests it may be sleep, and in particular deep sleep.
“Think of deep sleep almost like a life raft that keeps memory afloat, rather than memory getting dragged down by the weight of Alzheimer’s disease,” says Matthew Walker, a neuroscience professor at UC Berkeley.
28. What is the relationship between sleep and Alzheimer’s disease according to the new research
A. Inadequate sleep will indicate Alzheimer’s disease.
B. The disease may be prevented if we can sleep well.
C. Neurotoxins produced during sleep cause the disease.
D. A good sleep will raise the indicators of the disease.
29. What can we infer from paragraph four
A. It’s too early to use the sleeping pill to treat Alzheimer’s.
B. It’s advisable that adults turn to suvorexant to sleep well.
C. Suvorexant is a desirable pill to improve our sleep quality.
D. The amount of Amyloid and tau decreased due to placebo.
30. What is the main idea of paragraph five
A. Researchers’ great confusion about the high levels of amyloid.
B. Low level cognitive reserve resulting in abnormal brain function.
C. Potential determinants related to the possibility of Alzheimer’s.
D. Neurologists’ assumption about our brain function and damage.
31. Why dose Matthew Walker make the comparison in his remarks
A. To advocate a healthy lifestyle among adults.
B. To emphasize the significance of sleep quality.
C. To demonstrate the crucial role of our memory.
D. To detail the damage brought by Alzheimer’s.
D
Scientists have made a "breakthrough" in handling nuclear fusion (核聚变). The US Department of Energy officially announced the milestone in fusion energy research.
For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. The experiment, conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, generated 3.15 megajoules of energy, more than the 2.05 megajoules put into creating it.
Nuclear fusion works by forcing together two atoms—most often hydrogen—to make a heavier one—like helium(氦). This explosive process releases massive amounts of energy, the Department of Energy explains. Fusion is the opposite of fission(裂变), the reaction that powers nuclear reactors used commercially today.
Fusion occurs naturally in the heart of the Sun and the stars, providing these cosmic(宇宙的) objects with fuel. Since the 1950s, scientists have been trying to reproduce it on Earth in order to make use of the so-called clean, cheap, and almost limitless electricity. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, fusion generates four times more energy per kilogram than the fission used to power nuclear plants, and nearly 4 million times more energy than burning oil or coal. What's more, unlike fossil fuels, fusion doesn't release carbon dioxide—the greenhouse gas that's the main driver of climate change — into the atmosphere. And unlike nuclear fission, fusion doesn't create long-lived radioactive waste, according to the Department of Energy. But so far, nuclear fusion hasn't solved our energy problems on a grand scale.
The recent announcement is a huge step forward in nuclear fusion energy, but applying the technology at commercial scale is likely still years away. Chanda Prescod Weinstein, a theoretical physicist, pointed out that the process the Department of Energy uses requires tritium(氚), a rare and radioactive isotope(同位素) of hydrogen.“It may yet convey important information that is ultimately transformative. We don't know yet,” Prescod Weinstein tweeted. Investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have poured billions into the clean energy field trying to make fusion commercially workable, and the recent announcement is likely to continue that trend.
32. What is the breakthrough in nuclear fusion reaction
A. It releases massive amounts of energy.
B. It produces 3.15 megajoules of energy.
C. It works by forcing together two atoms.
D. It generates more energy than that put into creating it.
33. Why have scientists been conducting nuclear fusion experiments
A. To avoid the commercial use of fission.
B. To recycle the byproduct of radioactive waste.
C. To reduce emission of greenhouse gas.
D. To aim for the high efficiency in producing energy.
34. What does paragraph 5 mainly focus on
A. The attitude of investors.
B. The prospect of fusion energy.
C. The significance of the announcement.
D. The difficulty in producing fusion energy.
35. What is the author's attitude towards fusion energy
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.
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。
The first way we learn to communicate is through body language—our facial expressions, our gestures and, when we're older, our postures. Even after we figure out how to speak, this non-verbal communication still exerts(施加)a powerful and often unconscious influence over our interactions, people's first impressions of us and even our impressions of ourselves. 36 .
Change how you feel
To de-stress: Forcing a smile can make running easier and tough tasks less stressful. One 2012 experiment found that a grin makes holding your hand in ice water more bearable.
To feel more confident: 37 . Striking this so-called power pose shortly before an interview or athletic contest can be particularly powerful for women, who tend to sit and stand in a way that takes up less space.
To persevere: 38 . In a 2008 study, students who sat with their arms crossed kept working on an impossible problem nearly twice as long as those with their arms at their sides.
Change how others feel
39 : Studies show that holding someone's gaze may help people think you're trustworthy and intelligent. According to body language expert Carol Kinsey Goman, it can also make people think you're a good listener.
To foster connections: Mirroring the facial expressions and gestures of the person you're talking to can help them feel more comfortable. One 2011 experiment found this is an effective sales skill.
To engage or disengage: If you want to let someone know you're listening, sit facing them with your full body, knees and shoulders pointed at them. 40 .
A. To come across as sincere
B. But if you want to spread tension, angle your body slightly away—facing full-on is confrontational(对抗性的) when things get heated
C. Here's how to use body language to everyone's benefit
D. Making your index finger(食指) and middle finger crossed can help you gather strength
E. To inform people
F. Standing like Wonder Woman—legs apart, hands on hips, chest up—may make you feel more powerful
G. Crossing your arms across your chest can help you persist in solving a problem

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。
Ryan Swift was a bright and thoughtful boy with a big heart. He lived in Adams County, Colorado, and attended a small primary school. His teacher, Mrs. Miranda Green, was a kind and dedicated educator who always spend extra time with the kids to help them.
At home, the Swifts often expressed gratitude for Mrs. Green's daily emails, which provided them with ways to help Ryan improve. They sometimes mentioned that the teachers were not fully rewarded for the contributions they made in developing children into responsible adults. Kids were always listening to their conversations, and they were quick to model adults’ behaviour.
As Ryan’s birthday drew near, a sense of excitement grew inside him. He would get this year’s birthday money from his parents, but this time, he wanted to do something truly special rather than spend the money on toys or treats for himself. Ryan decided to give Mrs. Green, his beloved teacher, a well-deserved pay rise.
The next morning after his birthday, Ryan arrived at school with a big smile on his face. Holding his school bag to his chest, he had a secret of his own—he had carefully placed $15 in bills along with a heartfelt note inside a plastic zip-lock bag.
Dear Mrs. Green,
I don’t think that you get paid enough for what you’ve done for us, so will you accept this gift
Ryan Swift
He was the first to arrive at the classroom and tiptoed up to Mrs. Green’s desk. With a bit of anxiety, he placed the zip-lock bag on her desk, making sure it was hidden under a pile of papers. His heart pounded wildly in his chest as he quickly returned to his seat, trying to act as usual.
Throughout the morning, Ryan stole glances at Mrs. Green, wondering when she would find the surprise. The anticipation was almost unbearable, but he knew that the joy on her face would be worth it. “Mrs. Green must be thrilled to have this pay rise!” Ryan couldn’t help smiling to himself when picturing the scene in his mind.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs. Green finally discovered the zip-lock bag when her class finished.Learning about it, a local newspaper decided to interview the Swifts and the teacher.

推理判断题。由文章第四段“A study in the Annals of Neurology found that a sleep pill called suvorexant could reduce amyloid and tau in middle-aged adults with no cognitive problems. The two-night trial showed that amyloid dropped 10%to 20%, and a key form of tau 10%to 15%in people who received a high dose compared to a placebo (安慰剂) group. But these effects need to be studied over longer periods of time—including in older adults at higher risk of Alzheimers. But the study suggests that improving sleep quality among middle-aged adults could help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s later in life. (发表在《神经学年鉴》上的一项研究发现,一种名为 suvorexant 的安眠药可以减少没有认知问题的中年人的淀粉样蛋白和 tau 蛋白。为期两晚的试验表明,与安慰剂组相比,接受高剂量治疗的人淀粉样蛋白下降了 10%至 20%,一种关键形式的 tau 蛋白下降了 10%至 15%。但这些影响需要在更长的时间内进行研究——包括在患阿尔茨海默病风险较高的老年人中。但研究表明,改善中年人的睡眠质量有助于降低晚年患阿尔茨海默氏症的风险。)”可知,虽然研究发现 suvorexant 能减少中年人群中的淀粉样蛋白和 tau 含量,但这些效果需要更长时间的研究来验证,特别是在老年高风险人群中。因此,现在就推荐使用这种安眠药来治疗或预防阿尔茨海默病还为时尚早。故选 A。
【30 题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第五段“What has puzzled neurologists, however, is that some people with high levels of amyloid who may appear to have Alzheimer’s based on brain scans nonetheless function normally. Neurologists assume that this is because some people have higher levels of “cognitive reserve.” which enables them to function normally despite neurological damage. But there’s another X factor, which scientists have struggled to identify. A new study suggests it may be sleep, and in particular deep sleep. (然而,让神经学家感到困惑的是,一些淀粉样蛋白水平高的人,从脑部扫描来看,可能患有阿尔茨海默氏症,但他们的功能却很正常。神经学家认为,这是因为有些人有更高水平的“认知储备”。这使得它们在神经受损的情况下仍能正常运作。但还有另一个未知因素,科学家们一直在努力确定。一项新的研究表明,这可能是睡眠,尤其是深度睡眠。)”可知,第五段主要讲述的是神经学家对于一些淀粉样蛋白水平高但认知功能正常人群的困惑,以及除了“认知储备”外,另一个尚未明确的因素——深度睡眠,可能是影响这一现象的关键。因此,本段核心内容是关于阿尔茨海默病可能性的相关潜在影响因素。故选 C。
【31 题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段““Think of deep sleep almost like a life raft that keeps memory afloat, rather than memory getting dragged down by the weight of Alzheimer’s disease,” says Matthew Walker, a neuroscience professor at UC Berkeley. (加州大学伯克利分校的神经科学教授马修·沃克说:“深度睡眠几乎就像一艘救生筏,让记忆漂浮在水面上,而不是被阿尔茨海默病的重压拖垮。”)”可知,马修·沃克在他的评论中将深度睡眠比喻为“维持记忆浮于水面的生命筏”,以此强调在面对阿尔茨海默病这样病症的重压下,良好睡眠特别是深度睡眠对维护记忆功能的重要性。他的比喻是为了强调高质量睡眠的重要性。故选 B。

My First Experience in Career
Last month, I had the privilege of participating in our school’s initiative, “My First Experience in Career.” It aimed to provide students like me with a glimpse into diverse professions.
My journey began at a local hospital, where I shadowed as a diligent nurse for a day. Witnessing her interactions with patients, meticulous care, and swift decision-making, I gained a deeper understanding of the immense responsibility and compassion required in this noble profession. It was an eye-opening experience that left me grateful for the healthcare workers who tirelessly save lives.
This practical experience transformed me, increasing my knowledge and igniting ambition. I’m thankful to our school for organizing such a meaningful program and excited for future opportunities.

Mrs. Green finally discovered the zip-lock bag when her class finished. As she opened it, her eyes widened in amazement. After she read Ryan's note and saw the money, her heart swelled with a mixture of emotions. She called Ryan to her desk and returned the money to him. “This is my birthday money, Mrs. Green. You deserve it,” Ryan explained proudly. Mrs. Green burst into laughter, “Oh sweetie, I really appreciate it! Your thoughtfulness truly made my day!” This heartwarming story went viral and became the talk of the campus. (80 words)
Learning about it, a local newspaper decided to interview the Swifts and the teacher. Ryan’s parents couldn’t believe their boy would think of such a thoughtful gesture. Mrs. Swift remarked emotionally, “It is Mrs. Green who taught my son to be such a considerate boy!” Ryan smiled shy. Still immersed in the deep sensation, Mirs. Green expressed her gratitude to not only Ryan but also his parents for instilling such values. “I’ll always be reminded that our efforts are valued.” Education encompasses more than the transmission of knowledge; it also involves modeling good behavior.

M: Yeah, too right! I had a great time. I taught English in a tiny school in China. I thought the job would be easy, but it wasn’t. Yet I ended up loving it. The kids were great, and it was a real laugh. Of course, it had nothing to do with my studies — mechanical engineering — but it taught me a lot about how to get along with people. So why was your gap year special
W: Because it brought me to my senses! I’d considered pursuing a degree in hotel management, and decided to use my gap year to get some practical experience. I got placed in a hotel. Within two weeks, I realized I wasn’t cut out for that kind of thing, and then I reapplied to study business administration!

W: Well, let me share some of my travel experiences in the Republic of Korea. Last spring, I spent two weeks there. I explored Seoul’s crowded streets and Jeju Island’s relaxing landscapes. My adventure started in a colorful Airbnb in Seoul. I wandered through lively shopping districts, relaxed in peaceful parks, had tours and enjoyed the exciting nightlife, which included exploring famous streets and experiencing diverse food adventures, from street food to dining at a five-star restaurant.
Then off to Jeju Island which offered a calm contrast. After considering camping, I stayed at a spa hotel and a beach house. Jeju’s beauty shone in its perfect beaches and volcanic landscapes. I loved a visit to a hidden waterfall, which was a highlight for its magical atmosphere. The warmth of the locals and an energetic village festival added to Jeju’s appeal, showcasing the island’s rich cultural traditions.
The Republic of Korea was a mixture of Seoul’s energetic urban life and Jeju’s quiet natural retreats, making it an ideal destination for anyone seeking variety in their travels. Its rich culture, delicious cuisine, and beautiful landscapes left a lasting impression on me. It’s a perfect place for foodies, culture enthusiasts, and nature lovers alike.
