I was recently on a crowded flight home from California, and holiday travel was busy and chaotic. I counted three different occasions of children having emotional breakdowns—one at the security check point and two on the plane. I couldn’t help but notice people in line commenting, “Can’t that mom get a handle on her child ” “That kid needs some discipline!”... These people seemed to suggest that these awful holiday travel circumstances should somehow be tackled with grace and ease.
To her credit, the mother of the toddler(学步儿童) in the security line kept her cool despite the sweat on her brow and her reddened face. As a mom who was constantly peppered with comments from well-intentioned friends who thought they were in possession of the recipe for perfect parenthood, I was all too familiar with her situation.
I might have been one of those judgmental folks before having my own children. Today I’m much more understanding. Raising children is hard, and every child and family situation is extremely unique. The reality of our hustle-culture and the lack of resources prohibits many people from being the kind of parents they would really like to be. Judgment certainly isn’t helpful, only causing a feeling of shame.
As is echoed in the article Reimaging Shame, Author Jan Bonhoeffer states, “Left unexamined, shame can cloud our self-view, leaving us convinced that our worth is conditional. It whispers lies: ‘You’ll never be good enough.’ And when shame continues, it can lead to self abandonment.” The role of motherhood is both complex and challenging, so any attack on a mother will get her loaded with shame, and shame is disempowering. The last thing women need is more disempowerment.
Whoever coined the phrase, “Everyone you meet is facing an invisible battle. Be kind,” was accurate. The least we can do is suspend our tendency to judge one another, replace it with a mindset of compassion, and resolve to do a better job empowering the other women in our lives through intentional action or advocacy.
24.What can be inferred from paragraph1
A. It’s easy to be an armchair critic. B. Bystanders see most of the game.
C. There is no life without discipline. D. Criticism is a cornerstone to growth.
25.How does the author find her friends’ comments
A. Constructive. B. Informative. C. Misleading. D. Unworkable.
26.What does Jan Bonhoeffer stress in the article
A. The true worth of self-views. B. The core concept of shame.
C. The potential impact of shame. D. The complex role of motherhood.
27.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Being non-judgmental toward mothers. B. Maintaining a positive mindset at work.
C. Empowering moms with multiple skills. D. Acting swiftly to resolve hidden conflicts.
C
During World War II, mathematician Alan Turing gathered a team of logic experts to decode enemy messages, a key step toward victory. If there was one branch of mathematics which could be said they were using systematically, it was symbolic logic. However, the curriculum designs that methodically develop students’ symbolic logic abilities are relatively rare.
Symbolic logic is a form of mathematics that lets us check whether certain conclusions correctly follow from a set of facts. Consider a library book-theft case. If a suspect wasn’t in the library on the day the theft happened, they can’t be the thief. If present, they may or may not be. Being in the library doesn’t mean they stole the book. Symbolic logic turns this kind of argument into algebra (代数学), readily shared, solved and generalized for solving mysteries.
For careers such as electrical engineering and computer science, the value of symbolic logic is undeniable. The fundamental building blocks of modern digital computers are circuits representing “AND” and “OR”, which are common in symbolic logic. Almost every computer program contains similar “if-then-else” logical conditions. Professional programmers must routinely write and troubleshoot such statements.
But symbolic logic is not solely limited to technical fields. Rutgers University mathematician Gray Wenger argues that teaching responsible citizenship requires providing students with mathematical reasoning skills. For example, consider a debate over a study finding that most adults without high-school certificates earn less. A responsible citizen must think through the implications along the lines of the book-theft case example above. No certificate likely means lower income, but low income doesn’t mean no certificate. Training in symbolic logic makes these sorts of reasonings sink into their cognitive processes and become second nature to citizens.
In addition, symbolic logic equips individuals to counter false claims by distinguishing between separate incidents and systematic evidence. The most effective strategy for this lies in preventive education — teaching people to recognize faulty reasoning at its source. Consider, for instance, some global-warming doubters use one day of cold weather as proof that global warming is a hoax (骗局). But a logical thinker can quickly spot that weather is short-term, while climate is long-term change.
Some doubt the need for a separate symbolic logic course, believing other classes can do the job. In writing courses, for example, students learn how to spot illogical arguments, and elementary proofs are covered in trigonometry (三角学). Much can be gained by teaching people logical thinking without using any symbols. But only symbolic logic ensures logical strictness. A piecemeal approach isn’t enough; a full-semester course is needed for comprehensive learning.
Symbolic logic is essential for intellectual development. By integrating symbolic logic into educational frameworks, we equip future generations with the intellectual tools to navigate complex challenges. Training for it must be included in the curriculum and cannot be left to chance.
28. According to the passage, symbolic logic can play a primary role when ________.
A. a chef is creating a new recipe by combining different materials
B. a doctor is identifying one’s illness by using signs and test findings
C. a student is deciding which club to join based on personal interests
D. a journalist is writing a feature article by interviewing local people
29. The phrase “second nature” in Paragraph 4 implies that symbolic logic training helps citizens to ________.
A. follow social rules without questioning
B. perform logical reasoning automatically
C. prioritize rationality over emotions in daily life
D. memorize common argument patterns mechanically
30. From the passage, we learn that symbolic logic ________.
A. tells the difference between separate incidents
B. is mainly applied in solving mathematical puzzles
C. questions the basic principles of modern computers
D. enables people to detect and challenge false arguments
31. The author may agree that current symbolic logic education is ________.
A. manageable and will improve naturally
B. acceptable if alternative courses are available
C. unsatisfying for the lack of symbolic logic courses
D. problematic and ignores logical reasoning practice
D
In the risky world of nuclear arms control, Princeton student Lepowsky is exploring how robots can make inspections more accurate and acceptable to host nations worried about invasive traditional methods. His latest research has led to a robot performing inspections without saving sensitive information.
“The host nation likely won’t want a human inspector poking their nose around,” said Lepowsky. “But even a robot has memory and sensors acquiring data.” The goal is to have high-confidence inspections without the robot saving information. For example, the robot would not save radiation measurements or create floor plans of sensitive areas.
The new prototype (样机) is built on an iRobot Create 3 platform, an educational robot. Robots offer advantages over human inspectors: they can tolerate higher radiation levels, are more consistent, and can be cheaper. They also can be programmed to generate trust, such as not using cameras to avoid seeing unwanted details. The idea for the robot started with Lepowsky’s adviser, Glaser, who was curious about creating a “forgetful robot” that could perform highly accurate nuclear arms inspections but forget everything afterward. This led to an even more interesting idea: “Rather than forgetting, we’re not even remembering in the first place,” Lepowsky said. He believes this feature can reassure hosts concerned about privacy.
Lepowsky values the cross-disciplinary nature of his work — drawing on both his robotics and policy expertise — and he likes that it requires a breadth of knowledge, not just depth. He values that his research is grounded in real-life applications for global security and nuclear nonproliferation (防扩散).
Predicting when the robot might be used in the field is difficult. “It’s easy to say, today, it’s not very realistic, but you have to be ready for if and when it becomes possible,” said Lepowsky. Research into this problem is very active. Because arms control is changing, the specific objectives of future agreements are hard to predict. “But we can hope they will be positive, and we need to be ready, technically. “
32. In which aspect is Lepowsky’s robot different from human inspectors
A. Memory capacity. B. Data security. C. Social acceptance. D. User friendliness.
33. What is said about the robot in paragraph 3
A. Its accurate system. B. Its privacy risks.
C. Its design mechanism. D. Its operational problems.
34. What does Lepowsky like about his work
A. Scientific research data. B. Integrated knowledge across fields.
C. In-depth theoretical studies. D. Real-time technical cooperation.
35. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Princeton’s “Forgetful” Robots in Global Security
B. Nuclear Arms Control: Robots or Human Inspectors
C. No-Memory Robots: The Future of Nuclear Checks
D. Lepowsky’s “Curious” Robots for Radiation Detection
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Each day, we face uncertainty around our health, what others think of us, or what soup will be served at lunch. 36 Since the early 1990s, psychologists have regarded intolerance for uncertainty (IU) as a character associated with different forms of anxiety and depression. IU doesn’t directly cause all of those conditions, but having a higher intolerance for uncertainty is a common experience that cuts across them.
37 It makes them stressed, irritable or anxious and they are motivated to avoid it at all costs, or control their environments to reduce uncertainty as much as possible. This can be evident in over planning, repeated reassurance or information-seeking and avoiding anything new or unfamiliar. Some with high IU might make lists repeatedly or plan out conversations in their head. People with high IU can also react to events more impulsively in order to resolve uncertainty as quickly as possible. 38
For milder discomfort with uncertainty that doesn’t cause significant distress or disruption to life, people can build their own tolerance to uncertainty a little bit each day. 39 Then, after experimenting with small exposures to uncertainty, challenge yourself to do other new things-nothing big or scary, just things that are different and will initially feel uncomfortable. 40 They can even accept and perhaps embrace uncertainty in day-to-day life.
Life will always be full of unknowns. When facing the uncertain, people might feel discomfort, but there’s also a chance to try to feel curious and open.
A. Over time, people can learn to tolerate uncertainty.
B. Analyze your need for certainty.
C. For them, uncertainty is not just unpleasant - it’s intolerable.
D. Yet some people react more strongly to these unknowns than others.
E. People with high IU are bothered by even a minor case of uncertainty.
F. Seek out opportunities to safely play around the edges of your routines.
G. High IU can also affect people’s physical health.

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。
Cheemi was a poor orphan living in Pune. Nobody knew where she had come from. Yet everyone accepted the frail(瘦弱的)little girl and named her Cheemi — the little sparrow. She helped people by doing odd jobs for them, such as fetching vegetables from the corner shop or looking after babies when their mothers went shopping.
Everybody in the neighbourhood liked Cheemi, except Kelly. Kelly was the richest woman there. Cheemi, in her eyes, was dirty and inferior to her. Therefore, she would not allow Cheemi into her big house. The house was almost like a mansion with big wooden carved doors and huge halls. Surprisingly, the windows of the rooms decorated with beads and curtains were very small. Kelly lived with her son, her daughter-in-law Gina and her little grandson, Carl. Carl was a great favourite with the girls. Gina was a very nice, educated lady and didn’t mind Carl being carried by others. Kelly, however, never allowed Cheemi to touch Carl. How Cheemi wished she could play with him!
That year, Panshet Dam collapsed and the waters of the Mutha river, near Pune, had entered the city. The water rose fast. There was confusion everywhere. Police vans were trying to help.
When water entered their house, Kelly and Gina were on the ground floor. Within seconds the water rose. The police persuaded Kelly and Gina to climb to the top floor. In the hurry and confusion, they forgot that Carl was sleeping on the first floor!
The staircases were flooded. It was impossible to get to the bedroom on the first floor. The door to the room was closed but not bolted(闩上). Any moment the water could rush in. The women panicked.“Carl!” they cried.“What will happen to our Carl ”
Suddenly the police discovered that one of the bedroom windows was open, but it was too small for an adult to crawl in. Only a child could. But no one was willing to let their children take the risk.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para1. Out of nowhere, Cheemi appeared.

(版本一)Dear fellow students,
I firmly believe physical bookstores will not disappear. While online shopping and e-books are convenient, physical stores offer irreplaceable experiences.(点明自己的观点)
Firstly, bookstores provide a unique environment for exploration. The smell of paper, the joy of flipping through pages, and the chance to discover unexpected titles create a sensory pleasure digital platforms cannot match. Secondly, bookstores serve as cultural spaces. Many host events like author signings or reading clubs, building a sense of community among book lovers. Lastly, despite digital trends, many still value holding physical books, especially collectors and students needing focused study.(三个理由,结构清晰)
In conclusion, as long as people cherish real books and human connection, physical bookstores will survive. Thank you!(简略总结)
(版本二)Ladies and gentlemen,
While digital reading dominates modern life, I’m convinced physical bookstores will endure as cultural landmarks. Here’s why:
Unlike cold screens, bookstores awaken our senses—inhaling ink-scented air, tracing textured covers, and stumbling upon hidden gems. These moments create magic no algorithm can replicate. Moreover, they act as social hubs: poetry nights spark discussions, parent-child readings bond families, and café corners nurture creativity. Finally, studies show 65% of teens retain information better from physical books, proving their irreplaceable role in learning.
Bookstores aren’t just shops—they’re shelters for souls seeking warmth in a fast-paced world. Let’s protect these islands of humanity! Thank you.
读后续写
思路分析:
para 1: Cheemi 进入房间救出了Carl。
(1) Cheemi volunteered to help. (emotion: scared but determined/ brave)
(2) Cheemi entered the room and saved Carl. (the situation is urgent; the door was rushed open or not; where is Carl; they escaped safely.)
para 2:
(1) Kelly apologized to Cheemi and expressed her gratitude.
(2) Cheemi went to the mansion and played with Carl from then on.
(3) highlight the theme
(版本一)Para 1. Out of nowhere, Cheemi appeared. "Let me try!" Cheemi whispered in a firm tone. She squeezed through the narrow window. Icy water swirled as she crawled toward Carl's faint cries. Spotting his half-submerged crib, she clutched him to her chest. The door burst open, a flood surging in. Leaping back, she shielded Carl and balanced herself on the windowsill. Slowly she lowered him to rescuers’ hands just as water engulfed the room. Carl's giggle in Gina's arms melted the tension, while Cheemi clung to the ledge, breathless yet triumphant.
Para 2. Loud cheers greeted Cheemi, a daring and selfless girl. Kelly stood frozen, tears streaming down her face. "Forgive me," she begged, embracing Cheemi tightly. "You’ve given us everything." From that day, the "little sparrow" was no longer an outsider but a hero. Kelly’s mansion doors swung open for her, and Carl’s laughter often echoed through its halls as Cheemi played with him. The neighborhood marveled at her courage, weaving tales of her bravery into their daily chats. Cheemi, however, simply smiled, continuing her odd jobs — now with a newfound warmth trailing her every step.
(版本二)Part 1. Out of nowhere, Cheemi appeared. She had been watching the chaos from a distance, her heart pounding with worry for little Carl. Without a second thought, she dashed towards the house, her small frame slipping through the crowd effortlessly. The police officers tried to stop her, but Cheemi was determined. "I can fit through the window!" she shouted, her voice filled with urgency. The officers hesitated, but seeing no other option, they nodded in agreement. Cheemi took a deep breath and climbed onto the ledge, squeezing herself through the tiny window. The water was rising rapidly, and the room was almost completely submerged. Cheemi's heart raced as she spotted Carl, still asleep in his crib. She waded through the water, her small hands trembling as she lifted the baby into her arms.
Part 2. Loud cheers greeted Cheemi, a daring and selfless girl. She emerged from the window, clutching Carl tightly to her chest. The crowd erupted in applause, and even Kelly, who had always looked down on Cheemi, was overcome with gratitude. Tears streamed down her face as she reached out to take her grandson. "Thank you, Cheemi," Kelly whispered, her voice choked with emotion. Gina hugged Cheemi tightly, her own tears mixing with the rain. From that day on, everything changed. Kelly welcomed Cheemi into her home, treating her like family. Cheemi, the little sparrow, had not only saved Carl but had also bridged the gap between herself and the people who had once underestimated her. Her bravery and kindness became a legend in the neighborhood, a reminder that true worth is not measured by wealth or status, but by the size of one's heart.

10. 【原文】M: In the spring of 2021, 12 sailing teams from around the world competed in the first-ever Ocean Race Europe. The race set off from Lorient, France, on May 29, 2021. Teams of 6 to 10 people spent 22 days sailing the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea to the finish line, in Genoa, Italy. That’s where the race ended, on June 19, 2021. Two classes of speedy sailboats raced in the event: the IMOCA and the VO65. Offshore Team Germany won the IMOCA class race. And Portugal’s Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team won the VO65 class. The Ocean Race Europe presented plenty of challenges. Teams were on their boats for three straight weeks. When you were on board, all you do was race, eat, and sleep. There was no Internet connection and there were no movies. There wasn’t even a fridge or a freezer inside the boat. The Ocean Race Europe has a larger purpose. During the race, the boats collected scientific data from the salty waters. The data is shared with scientists. It provides insight about how the ocean is affected by climate change. Scientists use the data to further understand and advocate the world’s changing environment and seas.
