When I was a kid my mom would let me help her make popcorn on cold winter nights. We would get out a pan (平底锅), some oil and butter, and wait for the first popcorn to jump with an exciting sound. Then, we would shake the pan over the stove (炉子) to keep the popcorn from burning—shake, shake, shake, and pop, pop, pop—until the pan was filled with delicious popcorn! Mom would pour it all into a big bowl and add some salt on top.
Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, while my mom, brothers, and I would relax on the sofa. There was always a lot of popcorn to share, and mom even let me eat the half-popped kernels.
The funny thing is that I have already forgotten the shows we watched, but I still remember the smell of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family. I felt so loved, safe and happy. We didn’t have a big house, expensive snacks or much money, but our love for each other was everything.
It’s the little moments like these that matter most. They’re magical everyday gifts and memories that last forever. So remember to enjoy the moments and the love that comes with them. They are what truly make life beautiful.

Have you ever visited a bakery (烘焙坊) for a sweet treat And have you ever wondered what happens to the unsold bread Lately, this topic has brought a wide discussion on the internet.
Bread has a short sell-by date, because it is usually kept at room temperature. “Freshly baked bread can only be kept for 24 hours, while packaged (包装好的) bread lasts 3 days.” said a bakery manager in Jiangxi Province. To solve this problem, some bakeries sell the near-expired (临期的) bread at a lower price. But others would rather throw it way. “If we start furthering discounts, we are afraid that many customers will just wait for the discounted bread”, said a bakery owner, “This will hurt our daytime sales.”
Can bakeries reduce the production to cut down on waste A bakery manager explained, “A shelf full of bread catches the eye. This will make people want to buy more bread.” Most bakeries don’t want to cut back on the bread types, either. “People prefer freshness, so we need to keep introducing new types,” said Lu Liang, a bakery owner in Shanxi Province.
What can bakeries do with near-expired bread According to a baking teacher, bakeries can donate it to people in need. And the expired bread can be sent to recycling companies and turned into food for animals.
In addition, some bakeries sell near-expired bread through “blind boxes”. At a bakery in Shanghai, for example, there is a blind box sale from 8 p. m. to 9 p. m. every day. People can get a random type of near-expired bread at a low price. “It's great because it reduces food waste,” said one customer. “And the blind box always gives me some fun!”
31. How does the writer begin the passage
A. By asking questions. B. By stating facts. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving reasons.
32. How long can we keep packaged bread
A 8 hours. B. 24 hours. C. 3 days. D. 9 days.
33. What might happen if a bakery reduces the kinds of bread types
A. There will be less waste in bakeries. B. Customers will lose interest in buying.
C. The bakery will save more money. D. The bakery will draw new customers.
34. How do customers feel with “blind boxes” according to the text
A. Familiar. B. Upset. C. Scared. D. Pleased.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How to deal with the unsold bread B. Where to buy more fresh bread
C. Why is it hard to sell packaged bread D. What is needed to sell bread well
D
Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as “AI therapy (疗愈),” is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists
Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren't enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an associate professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot, then I think that's wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’ s basic needs for emotional support to a point.
However, AI has its limits (限制). Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create suitable treatment plans— something robots can't fully copy. Dr. LiuYang, a Beijing-based psychologist (心理学家), notes “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’ or ‘layoff’, but it cannot find out small emotional shifts in tone or body language”. This point becomes important when dealing with a series of situations, where misunderstandings could be dangerous.
Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It cannot match the level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK.
Data privacy appears as another large concern (担忧). Users usually share personal details on AI platforms, yet few companies clearly state how this information is stored or used. In 2024, a major Chinese mental health app faced criticism when users found their chats were being analyzed for advertising algorithms (算法).
As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.
36. What makes people turn to “AI therapy”
A. AI therapy is warmer. B. AI tools are free. C. People feel much pressure. D. DeepSeek is popular.
37. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Mental health care. B. The AI tool. C. The medical standard. D. The government control.
38. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. AI therapy is nicer and cheaper than human therapists.
B. AI robots will soon replace human therapists in hospitals.
C. AI can perfectly copy human therapists’ skills and methods.
D. AI has limits in understanding deep emotions and safety risks.
39. Why does the writer mention the Wysa app
A. To give an example of safe AI under rules. B. To prove robots can deal with emergencies.
C. To show AI is cheaper than human doctors. D. To explain why China needs more therapists.
40. What can we infer from the passage
A. AI therapy will completely replace human therapists.
B. AI is useful for basic support but not for serious cases.
C. AI can create specialized treatment plans for people.
D. Government control is really unnecessary for AI apps.
第二节 阅读七选五(共5个小题:每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It can be really embarrassing if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! ____41____
You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. ____42____ Talking to yourself loud is like showing this quiet inner (内在的) speech. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work.
When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. For example, using phrases like “You can do this!” can make a big difference. ____43____ Researchers put them into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group.
Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can help us manage bad feelings. “Talking to yourself in the third person is like giving yourself advice,” said Jason Moser, a professor (教授) from a university. Moser uses himself in an example. ____44____ So when he is feeling nervous or afraid during a flight (航班), he talks to himself. “Well, you know, Jason knows air travel is very safe. And Jason has been on thousands of flights.” This can help us to see things in a different way, especially when we’re feeling sad or angry.
____45____ Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things—reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. They found that those who read out loud recalled the information the best. It’s because the information will probably become a long-term memory if it is said out loud.
A. Self-talk also helps to improve memory.
B. Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits.
C. Improving memory is quite necessary for learning.
D. Talking to yourself helps to communicate with others.
E. He does not like flying, but he has to fly often for his work.

G. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings.
