Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts ” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up-people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day, “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.

Text 10 (Q18-20 16:28~18:01)
Hello everyone.Welcome! I’ve only started this channel this week. So I’m sort of nervous in front of the camera. Anyway, I want to share with you everything I know about health. Today I want to talk to you about how to feel younger. I am in my mid fortieth, yet I feel as energetic as I did when I was eighteen. So what is my secret It’s not really a secret. It’s a combination of exercise healthy eating and rest. Sleep is the most important aspect of all of this. (18) I imagine many of you get around six hours of sleep a night. You might stay up late watching TV, playing video games or just browsing your phone. What I’d suggest is setting an alarm an hour before you go to bed. That alarm is to remind you to stop looking at electronic screens. They produce blue light which can prevent you from going to sleep. (19) I would also suggest not eating or drinking anything two hours before bedtime. If you are restless a glass of milk can help to settle you, but no tea or coffee as they will keep you awake. Lastly, start your day on a positive note with half an hour of exercise. It may not seem like a lot but over time it will dramatically improve your health. Now, if you have any questions, just type them on the screen. (20)

Located in Britain, the University of Oxford is respected internationally as a
teaching and research center. Evidence shows that teaching existed in Oxford as early
as 1096, and it has been ranked as the top university in the UK by The Times for many
times.
The Tutorial System
In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial
system. Tutorials are beneficial to students’ skills of critical analysis, but the greatest
第 2页，共 10页
advantage of the tutorial system is the individual guidance that students receive. The
contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is
obvious. In the typical American university, students are taught by the same
specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards.
Societies and Clubs
There are rich after-school activities at Oxford. Students may join a variety of
clubs and societies according to their own interests. The Oxford University Scientific
Society aims to bring together undergraduates to discuss scientific matters. The
Oxford Union Society has gained a worldwide reputation for its debate. The Newman
Society has served as a model for religious society throughout the English-speaking
world. In addition, there are a great many clubs, including Oxford University Cricket
Club, Oxford University Chess Club, and so on.
Dates of Term
Oxford’s year is divided into three terms and three vacations. The dates for Full
Term 2024-25 are set out below:
Year Term From To
Michaelmas 2024 Sunday 8 October Saturday 2 December
2024-25 Hilary 2025 Sunday 14 January Saturday 9 March

Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My
mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night.
Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a
beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until I got
in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through
my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled
through the surgery.
My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of
第 3页，共 10页
showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter
from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to
honor my parents’ and siblings’ sacrifices that have given me a better life in the
United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and
family to see me as anything less than unshakable.
The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m
struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a
range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my
struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions.
Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without
judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information
about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me
see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.
To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t
about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling,
reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and
move on.
24. What did the author do after hanging up the phone
A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket.
C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty.
25. Why did the author showcase her strength
A. To help her mother make a full recovery.
B. To prove she lived a good and happy life.
C. To avoid possible doubts over her abilities.
D. To give herself an advantage in promotion.
26. How did some people help the author
A. By convincing her seeking help is a must.
B. By persuading her to win leaders’ support.
C. By listening to her and giving judgments.
D. By sharing similar experiences with her.
27. What does the author want to convey in the text
A. Strength gives us more courage to grow.
B. Strength does not mean hiding struggles.
C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful.
D. Worldly labels block personal development.
C
3D printing, a technology that creates objects layer by layer, has revolutionized
the way we make things. Recently, a group of Chinese scientists took things a step
further by using this technology to create realistic replicas of human organs.
Human organs have various textures (质地) with our bones being the hardest and
the brains being the softest, which made it demanding to create a single material that
could print different human organs previously. The research team from the Lanzhou
Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences started by using
第 4页，共 10页
hydrogel (水凝胶 ), a soft gel-like material as the main ingredient. To replicate the
hardness of material like bone, the researchers added elements containing metal to the
hydrogel and adjusted their ratio to create the texture of each organ. However, the
structure inside human organs is also incredibly complicated with many interweaving
channels. To make sure the printing results are correct, the team used light-curing (光
固化 ) technology in the 3D printing process. A special lamp was placed under the
printing machine, causing the gel to become solid right after it was printed.
According to the team’s paper published in the journal Advanced Functional
Materials, they were able to produce organ models including the brain, lungs, and
intestines (肠 ), which are essential for research purposes, such as testing medical
equipment and demonstrating pared to live organs and animal models,
these are also ethically acceptable since they are printed artificially. They can help
researchers develop new treatments more efficiently, due to their lower relative cost,
commented the Alliance of Advanced Biomedical Engineering website.
However, they usually cannot be used as transplants, because human cells are
likely to recognize them as “enemies” and start to fight against them. What scientists
have been exploring in “printing” the organs is bioprinting: using 3D printing
technology to build up various types of cells and materials layer by layer. This way,
the printed product will be more acceptable to grow inside the human body. However,
this method is still developing, and experts are hoping it will be used in the medical
field within a decade, according to CNN.

“Digital switching” is a term refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through
and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of
it.
第 5页，共 10页
Kay Y. Y. Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself
—and pretty much everyone else—swiping through online videos. This behavior was
connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021.
Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when
there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want
to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or
meaning. “As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this
behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said. In her study, more than
1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for
ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to
skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times—but reported feeling more
bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar
experience in another similar experiment.
“I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the
goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of
psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.”
The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise,
despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored
often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also
been linked to increased feelings of boredom. Boredom can motivate people to
explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to
offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal
jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree
bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.
32. What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory
A. The unsatisfied desire. B. The feeling of boredom.
C. The degree of engagement. D. The lack of emotion.
33.What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on
A. Its reason. B. Its consequence.
C. The solution to it. D. The theory behind it.
34. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A. To solve a problem. B. To make a suggestion.
C. To raise a question. D. To give a warning.
35. What does the comparison between “digital switching” and an animal jumping
from tree to tree imply
A. Digital switching can lead to a waste of time and effort.
B. Animals are more efficient than humans in searching for resources.
C. Boredom is a natural response to unproductive activities.
D. Quick escapes can prevent us from achieving meaningful engagement.

有两项为多余选项。
People only exhibit their best moments on social media. Some celebrities are
airbrushed (美化) or hide the truth of their plastic surgery. Many people photoshop
their faces and bodies to look exactly how they want. ____36____ It seems that all the
people are in pursuit of presenting their best images.
Beyond these “best images”, some social media heavily promote eating disorder
culture and unhealthy attitudes about food and weight in general. Some social media
also promote over-exercising. ____37____ However, pushing yourself too hard can be
harmful and contributes to some eating disorders. When someone is exercising a lot,
they need to eat more to fuel their body, but some people are often eating less than
they should while pushing their bodies beyond the limit.
____38____ Basically, people who struggle with eating disorders tend to think
that they aren’t “sick enough”. If they encounter others with eating disorders, they
constantly compare themselves. Thus, people, using social media, need to avoid
posting videos or pictures with body checking, constant weighing, or calorie counting.
This type of content simply isn’t helpful for anyone. So if you feel like you need to
lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. ____39____
As for me, I’ve learned a lot from my own struggle with an eating disorder.
During my treatment, the most striking thing my nutritionist said to me was,

is much better.

B. Take yourself as what you are.
C. Indeed, proper exercising is healthy.
D. A lot of the actual photos are straight-up fake.
E. There are countless methods of changing their bodies.

The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this
summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said
as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place
where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself
out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why ” Grandma asked. She acted like
nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr.
Jackson had lost because of my mistake Was he still upset with me “I’m fine,” I
answered. “I’m just missing my computer puters are something I’m good
at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer.
Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to
lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the
farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I
saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he
yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw

me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had
probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma
always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my
head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and
comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make
mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude,
can you help us We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts
(零件) for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No
internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
