look, a silent yet powerful force, left me no other option. With trembling steps, I approached the boy and gave him

hug him, his body relaxed and he hugged me back.
“Uh... also, uh... I love you...” I tried to say it as insincerely as I could get away with and half-smiled as I
spoke. I was still hugging the boy, so he couldn’t see the unnatural look on my youthful face.

第二节 语法填空（共 10 小题，每小题 1.5 分,共 15 分）
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空，在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出提示词的
空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
A
My six-year-old daughter, Rona, listened intently to the speaker 11 told of the hardships people
endured in the country. It was the day after Rona’s birthday and her grandmother 12 (give) her some
money. When the offering basket came around, Rona reached into her pocket, pulled out her birthday money, and
put it in the basket. “Your grandmother wanted you to use that 13 (buy) something nice for yourself,” I
said. “I did,” Rona replied with a big smile. “I bought happiness.”
【答案】11．who/that 12．had given 13．to buy
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是六岁女孩 Rona 在听完关于他人困境的演讲后，决定将自己生
日收到的钱捐赠出去，认为这是购买了“幸福”。
11．考查定语从句。句意：我六岁的女儿罗娜专注地听着那位讲述人们在这个国家所忍受的艰难困苦的演
讲者。此处为关系词引导的定语从句，先行词 the speaker 指人，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以使用关系
代词 who/that 引导定语从句。故填 who/that 。
12．考查动词时态。句意：这是 Rona 生日后的第二天，她的祖母给了她一些钱。根据前文“It was the day
after Rona’s birthday”可知，讲述的是过去发生的事情，“给她钱”这个动作发生在“was”之前，即过去的过去，
应该用过去完成时，其结构为“had +过去分词”，give 的过去分词是 given。故填 had given。
13．考查不定式。句意：你的祖母希望你用那笔钱给自己买些好东西。 此处为“use sth. to do sth.”为固定用
法，意为“用某物做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式 to buy 作目的状语。故填 to buy。

receive those messages, they communicate to the customers. We hope this amazing idea 17 (enjoy) great
popularity all around the world soon.
【答案】14．be controlled 15．using 16．if 17．will enjoy
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是远程控制机器人技术及其在促进残障人士就业方面的应用，展
示了这一技术对未来工作环境和社会包容性的积极影响。
14．考查被动语态。句意：这些配备了摄像头和扬声器的机器人可以从远处被控制，这使得残疾人可以工
作。此空位于情态动词之后，应使用动词原形，control 与句子主语“These robots and speakers”之间为被动
关系，所以此处需用被动语态 be controlled。故填 be controlled。
15．考查现在分词。句意：员工们在家使用互联网控制这些机器人。此处为非谓语动词作状语，use 与逻
辑主语 employees 之间为主动关系，需用现在分词形式 using。故填 using。
16．考查状语从句。句意：例如，如果有人不能移动或说话，他们可以用先进的软件通过眼睛输入各种信
息。此处为连词连接两个句子，结合句意，此处表示“如果”应为 if 引导条件状语从句。故填 if。
17．考查动词时态。句意：我们希望这个惊人的想法很快会在全世界范围内受到极大的欢迎。根据句意和
时间状语 soon 可知，此处表达对未来的期望，需用一般将来时，谓语动词为 will enjoy。故填 will enjoy。

consumed for its healing properties, but 19 (quick) became a daily drink. By the Tang Dynasty, tea
drinking was well established in Chinese society, becoming an art form and a social activity. 20 (carry)

【答案】18．into 19．quickly 20．Carried
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是茶的起源与传播过程，从中国古代的传说开始，到茶作为一种
日常饮品和文化交流媒介的发展历程。
18．考查介词。句意：根据传说，当神农帝正在煮水时，附近野生树上的一些叶子被风吹进了他的锅里，
结果制成了一种令人清爽的饮料。此处为固定短语 blow into 表示“进入”符合句意，所以此处使用介词 into。
故填 into。
19．考查副词。句意：茶最初因其治疗特性而被饮用，但很快成为一种日常饮品。此处需用副词修饰动词
became，quick 的副词为 quickly 表示“迅速地”符合句意。故填 quickly。
20．考查过去分词。句意：在中国旅行者携带下，茶在中世纪传到了其他国家。此处为非谓语动词作状语，
carry 与逻辑主语 tea 之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填 Carried。

Do teenagers need to relax Increasingly not just parents are seeking a break from work and family
pressures but adolescents too, coping with “intense schooling and sports programmes”. So much so that the
Global Wellness Summit identifies teen wellness as a trend for 2025 with the industry focusing on teenagers’
emotional intelligence, resilience, and how to survive in a digital world through resorts, retreats, and mental
wellness apps.
Rina Raphael, author of The Gospel of Wellness, tells me wellness—physical and mental health—has
replaced the once-dominant fashion and beauty industries. McKinsey reports that Gen Z outspends older
consumers on mindfulness-related wellness products such as meditation classes, mindfulness apps, and therapy
sessions, even seeking preventive solutions to ageing-related health issues.
One of the problems the wellness sector aims to address is mental health. Blame for the mental health crisis
has been laid on smartphones. But apps also offer a solution. Many, like Chill Panda and HappiMe are on the UK’
s CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) website and in demand. A study in The Lancet concluded
bans or restrictions at school don’t lead to “better mental wellbeing in adolescents.” Parents have a role too. An
intensive parenting often leaves children without examples of parents socialising or pursuing passions.
There’s nothing bad about forming healthy habits. But is the wellness industry responding to—or
contributing to—the pressures young people face Think about the new toy package Mattel released five years
ago: Wellness Barbie—a more glowing and relaxed version of Barbie and a product in training children to become
consumers of wellness. And those baby massage classes dressed up as a wellbeing treatment to improve the
infants’ mood and physical health struck me as ridiculous. What’s a baby got to worry about
The idea that experiences bought by parents and offered by the wellness industry solve adolescent anxiety
seems unpromising at best. As Raphael points out, the problem with wellness is “it’s very much tied to
productivity, aesthetics (美学) and consumerism. It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself.” But
I can’t see it ending. After all, as Ronald Purser, author of McMindfulness, told me: “You can never be too well;
that’s why it’s a massive growth industry”.
24．What could be counted as a wellness activity
A．Aiming for top grades nonstop.
B．Practicing mindfulness using an app.
C．Checking social media for attention.
D．Skipping meals to manage body shape.
25．What is a possible reason for teen mental health issues
A．A demand for services. B．A passion for sports.
C．A ban on mental health. D．A lack of role models.
26．What would Rina Raphael agree with most
A．The fashion and beauty industries matter more to Gen Z.
B．Teenagers are pressured to consume wellness products.
C．Wellness Barbie assists children’s adaptation.
D．Baby massage classes are not effective as expected.
27．What’s author’s attitude towards the wellness industry
A．Hopeful. B．Calm. C．Critical. D．Pessimistic.
【答案】24．B 25．D 26．B 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕青少年健康产业这一新兴现象，通过引用研究报告、专家观点
和具体案例，分析了健康产业在应对青少年心理健康问题中的作用，同时也对其潜在的负面影响提出了质
疑，突出理性思考、合理完善自我的核心价值引领。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“So much so that the Global Wellness Summit identifies teen wellness as a trend
for 2025 with the industry focusing on teenagers’ emotional intelligence, resilience, and how to survive in a
digital world through resorts, retreats, and mental wellness apps. (其受重视程度可见一斑——全球健康峰会已
将青少年健康领域列为 2025 年的趋势热点，该行业正聚焦于提升青少年的情绪智力 (情商)、心理韧性，
并致力于通过度假胜地、静修营地以及心理健康类应用程序等途径，助力青少年在数字化世界中更好地适
应与成长)”、第二段中“McKinsey reports that Gen Z outspends older consumers on mindfulness-related wellness
products such as meditation classes, mindfulness apps, and therapy sessions, even seeking preventive solutions to
ageing-related health issues. (麦肯锡报告指出，Z 世代在正念相关健康产品 (如冥想课程、正念应用程序和
心理咨询疗程)上的消费支出超过年龄更大的消费群体，他们甚至会寻求针对衰老相关健康问题的预防性解
决方案)”可知，使用正念应用程序属于健康养生活动，而其他选项如追求高分、检查社交媒体或节食减肥
并不符合健康养生活动的定义。故选 B。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段中“An intensive parenting often leaves children without examples of parents
socialising or pursuing passions. (密集型育儿常常使孩子缺乏父母社交或追求兴趣爱好的榜样)”可知，作者提
到青少年心理健康问题的一个可能原因是缺乏榜样。故选 D。
26．推理判断题。根据第五段中“As Raphael points out, the problem with wellness is “it’s very much tied to
productivity, aesthetics (美学) and consumerism. It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself.” (正
如拉斐尔所指出的，健康产业的问题在于“它与生产力、美学以及消费主义紧密相连。这增添了一种压力，
即你不得不一直致力于自我提升。”)”可知，Rina Raphael 认为青少年面临消费健康产品的压力。故选 B。
27．推理判断题。根据第四段中“And those baby massage classes dressed up as a wellbeing treatment to improve
the infants’ mood and physical health struck me as ridiculous. What’s a baby got to worry about (那些婴儿按摩
课程伪装成一种健康治疗，以改善婴儿的情绪和身体健康，这让我觉得很荒谬。婴儿有什么好担心的？)”
以及第五段中“It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself. (它增加了一种压力，让你觉得必须
不断改善自己)”可知，作者对健康养生行业持批评态度。故选 C。
C
Life after retirement can be isolating for a lot of people, but particularly for older men who were often
raised to be providers and built their whole identities around their jobs.
Jim Isenberg, now in his late 70s, knows that feeling. He has had a varied career in transportation and youth
services in White Plains. When he first became a grandfather, he went online trying to find any kind of
organization with grandpas. “There were a lot of things with grandmas,” he says, “but nothing for grandfathers.”
In 2018, Isenberg and his friend Frank Williams ultimately founded their own group Grandpas United.
Williams, who worked as executive director of the White Plains Youth Bureau, saw a particular need. “So many
children are growing up without a male figure or a father,” he says. “And here we have men who are retiring from
work and careers. They have skills that can help younger people, especially boys and young men.”.
Today, Grandpas United has around 60 volunteers, including retired lawyers, teachers, delivery drivers, and
police officers. One of their initiatives is called JumpStart for Dads, which helps new, young fathers adjust to
parenthood and learn from the grandpas’ own experiences. The group also visits Church Street Elementary School,
where they spend lunch hours with fourth-grade boys, playing games and teaching social skills like shaking hands.
The boys find the interactions fun, and the grandpas enjoy their energy and openness.
Dr. Linda Fried, dean of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, says such programs
benefit both the children and the volunteers. She started Experience Corps, where volunteers from their early 60s
to their mid-80s put in 15 hours a week at elementary schools for at least a year. The program not only improved
children’s academic success, but also the volunteers’ health, with a study showing significant brain growth in
male volunteers over two years, particularly in problem-solving and memory regions. Why Fried says it may be
that because older men socialize less than women to begin with, the consistent volunteer work— and seeing they
were making a difference — did them the most good.
Grandpas United member Marc Sharff knows this firsthand. “One of the things that I love about Grandpas,
it’s not only with the kids, it’s the camaraderie (同志情谊) and building new friendships,” he says, referring to his
fellow grandpas. “There are people I never knew before. We've developed relationships, and I cherish that.”
28．Why did Jim Isenberg and Frank Williams establish Grandpas United
A．To offer mentorship for young fathers and children.
B．To organize community events for families with kids.
C．To create a space for grandfathers to play games together.
D．To provide training for retired men seeking re-employment.
29．Why might older men experience greater cognitive benefit from volunteer work
A．They typically devote more time to volunteering.
B．They usually find working with children more rewarding.
C．They tend to have fewer social interactions than older women.
D．They often possess a wider range of skills valuable to volunteer roles.
30．What can we conclude from the story of Grandpas United
A．Giving is receiving.
B．A rising tide lifts all boats.
C．Many hands make light work.
D．It takes a village to raise a child.
【答案】28．A 29．C 30．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。退休后男性易孤独，Jim Isenberg 和 Frank Williams 创立“爷爷联盟”，该组织惠
及孩子与志愿者，实现双向受益 。
28．推理判断题。根据第三段“‘So many children are growing up without a male figure or a father,’ he says. ‘And
here we have men who are retiring from work and careers. They have skills that can help younger people,
especially boys and young men.’(‘很多孩子在成长过程中没有男性形象或父亲的陪伴，’他说。‘而我们这里有
一些从工作和职业生涯中退休的男性。他们拥有可以帮助年轻人，尤其是男孩和年轻男性的技能。’)”以及
第四段“One of their initiatives is called JumpStart for Dads, which helps new, young fathers adjust to parenthood
and learn from the grandpas’ own experiences. The group also visits Church Street Elementary School, where
they spend lunch hours with fourth-grade boys, playing games and teaching social skills like shaking hands.(他们
的一项倡议叫做‘爸爸的启动计划’，帮助年轻的新爸爸适应为人父母的角色，并从爷爷们自己的经验中学
习。这个团体还会访问教堂街小学，在那里他们和四年级的男孩们一起吃午饭，玩游戏，并教授像握手这
样的社交技能。)”可知，Jim Isenberg 和 Frank Williams 建立“爷爷联盟”是为了给年轻父亲和孩子们提供指
导和帮助。故选 A 。
29．细节理解题。根据第五段“Fried says it may be that because older men socialize less than women to begin
with, the consistent volunteer work — and seeing they were making a difference — did them the most good.(弗
里德说，这可能是因为一开始老年男性的社交活动就比女性少，持续的志愿工作 —— 以及看到他们正在
产生影响 —— 对他们最有好处。)”可知，老年男性从志愿工作中获得更大的认知益处可能是因为他们的
社交互动比老年女性少。故选 C。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段可知“爷爷联盟”的志愿者帮助年轻父亲和孩子们，根据第五段“Dr. Linda Fried,
dean of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, says such programs benefit both the children
and the volunteers.(哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼公共卫生学院院长琳达·弗里德博士说，这样的项目对孩子和志愿
者都有好处。)”以及最后一段“‘One of the things that I love about Grandpas, it’s not only with the kids, it’s the
camaraderie (同志情谊) and building new friendships,’ he says, referring to his fellow grandpas. ‘There are
people I never knew before. We've developed relationships, and I cherish that.’(‘我喜欢‘爷爷联盟’的一点是，这
不仅是和孩子们在一起，还有同志情谊和建立新的友谊，’他在谈到他的爷爷同伴们时说。‘这里有一些我以
前从未认识的人。我们建立了关系，我很珍惜这一点。’)”可知，“爷爷联盟”的成员在帮助他人的同时自己也
获得了友谊等回报，体现了“给予就是获得”。故选 A。
D
Approximately 27% of jobs are at high risk of automation amid the artificial intelligence revolution,
according to a news report.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), a global policy forum that
includes 38 members, said in a Tuesday report that high-skill occupations are still at least risk of automation.
Low-to-middle skilled jobs are most at risk, including construction, farming, fishing, forestry and, to a
lesser extent, production and transportation, the report said. The report said that while adoption of AI is still
relatively low, rapid progress, falling technology costs and the increasing availability of workers with Al skills
suggest that OECD countries may be on the edge of an AI revolution.
The OECD also found that there is little evidence of negative employment effects for firms that adopt AI so
far, and workers and employees report that AI can reduce tedious and dangerous tasks, which works are dreaming
to get rid of.
Nevertheless, concerns about AI in the workforce continue to spread, with the survey last year finding that
three in five workers are worried about losing their job to AI within the next decade. Additionally, a similar
amount worry that wages would decrease due to AI, more than half of workers are concerned about privacy and
three in four say that AI has increased work pace. Rapid development and adoption mean that new skills will be
needed and others will become old-fashioned, advising that governments encourage employers to provide more
training, integrate AI skills into education and support diversity in the AI workforce.
The OECD said its report highlights the “urgent need for policy action” to address AI risks in the
workplace and to ensure “accountability and transparency for employment-related decisions supported by AI”.
“The recent acceleration of generative Al-related developments and tools marks a technological watershed
with material implications in many workplaces. There is a real need to consider longer term policy frameworks on
the use of AI in the workplace and to continue to foster international cooperation to maximize the benefits while
appropriately managing the downside risks,” OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann said in a statement.

第一节 阅读表达（共 4 小题，第 40、41 题各 2 分，第 42 题 3 分，第 43 题 5 分，共 12 分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Typing offers speed and clarity, but a recent Norwegian study reveals that handwriting significantly boosts
brain connectivity compared with typing.
The research published in Frontiers in Psychology by Norwegian University of Science and Technology
aimed to see if handwriting had more benefits than typing. They enlisted 36 students to write in cursive with a
digital pen or type the same words on a keyboard for 25 seconds.
The students were asked to wear a cap of EEG sensors on their heads to measure their brain waves. The
EEG cap’s 256 electrodes attached to the scalp recorded the electrical signals of the students’ brains, including
which brain cells were active and how parts of the brain communicate with each other.
The experiment found that writing by hand required communication between the brain’s visual, sensory,
and motor cortices. The candidates who were made to write with the digital pen had to visualize letters, and then
use their fine motor skills to control their movement while writing. There was no change when the participants
typed. In the end, the study concluded that writing required more brain activity and aided a person’s ability to
learn and memorize.
The co-author of this study, Audrey Van der Meer, a neuropsychology professor at the university, explained
how writing can be more advantageous than typing. She said, “The involvement of fine and intricate hand
movements in note-taking, in contrast with pressing keys on a keyboard that all require the same simple finger
movement, may be more advantageous for learning.” She added, “The brain is not challenged very much when it’
s pressing keys on a keyboard as opposed to when it’s forming those letters by hand.”
Audrey also added, “Our findings suggest that visual and movement information obtained through precisely
controlled hand movements when using a pen contribute extensively to the brain’s connectivity patterns that
promote learning,” as per the official press release. Although the participants used digital pens for handwriting,
van der Meer explained that the results are expected to be the same when using a real pen on paper. She said, “We
have shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by
hand while making more use of the senses.”
40．According to the research, what is the benefit of handwriting compared with typing
41．Why is it that handwriting can aid a person’s ability to learn and memorize
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The visual and movement information obtained through precisely controlled hand movements when
using a digital pen contributes to the brain’s connectivity patterns that promote learning, but it does not
work when using a real pen on paper.
43．Apart from the benefits discussed in the article, how can you benefit from writing by hand (In about 40
words)
【答案】40．Handwriting significantly boosts brain connectivity. 41．It requires communication between the
brain’s visual, sensory, and motor cortices, involving more brain activity. 42．The visual and movement
information obtained through precisely controlled hand movements when using a digital pen contributes to
the brain’s connectivity patterns that promote learning, but it does not work when using a real pen on paper.
The study states that results are expected to be the same with a real pen. 43．Handwriting can enhance
creativity by allowing free expression, reduce screen-related distractions, improve focus, and help organize
thoughts spatially. Additionally, it may foster mindfulness and serve as a personal, tactile experience that digital
tools lack.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明，与打字相比，手写能显著提高大脑的连通性。解释
了研究开展的过程以及发现。
40．考查细节理解。根据第一段“Typing offers speed and clarity, but a recent Norwegian study reveals that
handwriting significantly boosts brain connectivity compared with typing.(打字能带来速度和清晰度，但挪威最
近的一项研究表明，与打字相比，手写能显著提高大脑的连通性)”可知，与打字相比，手写可以显著增强
大脑的连通性。故答案为 Handwriting significantly boosts brain connectivity.
41．考查细节理解。根据第四段“The experiment found that writing by hand required communication between the
brain’s visual, sensory, and motor cortices.(实验发现，用手写字需要大脑的视觉、感觉和运动皮层之间的交
流)”可知，书写可以帮助人们学习和记忆因为它需要大脑的视觉、感觉和运动皮层之间的交流，涉及更多
的大脑活动。故答案为 It requires communication between the brain’s visual, sensory, and motor cortices,
involving more brain activity.
42．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Although the participants used digital pens for handwriting, van der Meer
explained that the results are expected to be the same when using a real pen on paper.(虽然参与者使用电子笔书
写，但范德米尔解释说，使用真笔在纸上书写的结果预计是一样的)”可知，错误部分为“but it does not work
when using a real pen on paper”，研究表明，使用真笔的结果是一样的。故答案为 The visual and movement
information obtained through precisely controlled hand movements when using a digital pen contributes to
the brain’s connectivity patterns that promote learning, but it does not work when using a real pen on paper.
The study states that results are expected to be the same with a real pen.
43．考查开放题。根据“除了文章中讨论的好处之外，你还能从手写中得到什么好处呢？”可回答：手写可
以通过允许自由表达来增强创造力，减少与屏幕相关的干扰，提高注意力，并帮助组织空间思维。此外，
它可以培养专注力，并提供数字工具所缺乏的个人触觉体验。故答案为 Handwriting can enhance creativity
by allowing free expression, reduce screen-related distractions, improve focus, and help organize thoughts
spatially. Additionally, it may foster mindfulness and serve as a personal, tactile experience that digital tools lack.

hug him, his body relaxed and he hugged me back.
“Uh... also, uh... I love you...” I tried to say it as insincerely as I could get away with and half-smiled as I
spoke. I was still hugging the boy, so he couldn’t see the unnatural look on my youthful face.

Do teenagers need to relax Increasingly not just parents are seeking a break from work and family
pressures but adolescents too, coping with “intense schooling and sports programmes”. So much so that the
Global Wellness Summit identifies teen wellness as a trend for 2025 with the industry focusing on teenagers’
emotional intelligence, resilience, and how to survive in a digital world through resorts, retreats, and mental
wellness apps.
Rina Raphael, author of The Gospel of Wellness, tells me wellness—physical and mental health—has
replaced the once-dominant fashion and beauty industries. McKinsey reports that Gen Z outspends older
consumers on mindfulness-related wellness products such as meditation classes, mindfulness apps, and therapy
sessions, even seeking preventive solutions to ageing-related health issues.
One of the problems the wellness sector aims to address is mental health. Blame for the mental health crisis
has been laid on smartphones. But apps also offer a solution. Many, like Chill Panda and HappiMe are on the UK’
s CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) website and in demand. A study in The Lancet concluded
bans or restrictions at school don’t lead to “better mental wellbeing in adolescents.” Parents have a role too. An
intensive parenting often leaves children without examples of parents socialising or pursuing passions.
There’s nothing bad about forming healthy habits. But is the wellness industry responding to—or
contributing to—the pressures young people face Think about the new toy package Mattel released five years
ago: Wellness Barbie—a more glowing and relaxed version of Barbie and a product in training children to become
consumers of wellness. And those baby massage classes dressed up as a wellbeing treatment to improve the
infants’ mood and physical health struck me as ridiculous. What’s a baby got to worry about
The idea that experiences bought by parents and offered by the wellness industry solve adolescent anxiety
seems unpromising at best. As Raphael points out, the problem with wellness is “it’s very much tied to
productivity, aesthetics (美学) and consumerism. It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself.” But
I can’t see it ending. After all, as Ronald Purser, author of McMindfulness, told me: “You can never be too well;
that’s why it’s a massive growth industry”.
24．What could be counted as a wellness activity
A．Aiming for top grades nonstop.
B．Practicing mindfulness using an app.
C．Checking social media for attention.
D．Skipping meals to manage body shape.
25．What is a possible reason for teen mental health issues
A．A demand for services. B．A passion for sports.
C．A ban on mental health. D．A lack of role models.
26．What would Rina Raphael agree with most
A．The fashion and beauty industries matter more to Gen Z.
B．Teenagers are pressured to consume wellness products.
C．Wellness Barbie assists children’s adaptation.
D．Baby massage classes are not effective as expected.
27．What’s author’s attitude towards the wellness industry
A．Hopeful. B．Calm. C．Critical. D．Pessimistic.
C
Life after retirement can be isolating for a lot of people, but particularly for older men who were often
raised to be providers and built their whole identities around their jobs.
Jim Isenberg, now in his late 70s, knows that feeling. He has had a varied career in transportation and youth
services in White Plains. When he first became a grandfather, he went online trying to find any kind of
organization with grandpas. “There were a lot of things with grandmas,” he says, “but nothing for grandfathers.”
In 2018, Isenberg and his friend Frank Williams ultimately founded their own group Grandpas United.
Williams, who worked as executive director of the White Plains Youth Bureau, saw a particular need. “So many
children are growing up without a male figure or a father,” he says. “And here we have men who are retiring from
work and careers. They have skills that can help younger people, especially boys and young men.”.
Today, Grandpas United has around 60 volunteers, including retired lawyers, teachers, delivery drivers, and
police officers. One of their initiatives is called JumpStart for Dads, which helps new, young fathers adjust to
parenthood and learn from the grandpas’ own experiences. The group also visits Church Street Elementary School,
where they spend lunch hours with fourth-grade boys, playing games and teaching social skills like shaking hands.
The boys find the interactions fun, and the grandpas enjoy their energy and openness.
Dr. Linda Fried, dean of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, says such programs
benefit both the children and the volunteers. She started Experience Corps, where volunteers from their early 60s
to their mid-80s put in 15 hours a week at elementary schools for at least a year. The program not only improved
children’s academic success, but also the volunteers’ health, with a study showing significant brain growth in
male volunteers over two years, particularly in problem-solving and memory regions. Why Fried says it may be
that because older men socialize less than women to begin with, the consistent volunteer work— and seeing they
were making a difference — did them the most good.
Grandpas United member Marc Sharff knows this firsthand. “One of the things that I love about Grandpas,
it’s not only with the kids, it’s the camaraderie (同志情谊) and building new friendships,” he says, referring to his
fellow grandpas. “There are people I never knew before. We've developed relationships, and I cherish that.”
28．Why did Jim Isenberg and Frank Williams establish Grandpas United
A．To offer mentorship for young fathers and children.
B．To organize community events for families with kids.
C．To create a space for grandfathers to play games together.
D．To provide training for retired men seeking re-employment.
29．Why might older men experience greater cognitive benefit from volunteer work
A．They typically devote more time to volunteering.
B．They usually find working with children more rewarding.
C．They tend to have fewer social interactions than older women.
D．They often possess a wider range of skills valuable to volunteer roles.
30．What can we conclude from the story of Grandpas United
A．Giving is receiving.
B．A rising tide lifts all boats.
C．Many hands make light work.
D．It takes a village to raise a child.

Approximately 27% of jobs are at high risk of automation amid the artificial intelligence revolution,
according to a news report.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), a global policy forum that
includes 38 members, said in a Tuesday report that high-skill occupations are still at least risk of automation.
Low-to-middle skilled jobs are most at risk, including construction, farming, fishing, forestry and, to a
lesser extent, production and transportation, the report said. The report said that while adoption of AI is still
relatively low, rapid progress, falling technology costs and the increasing availability of workers with Al skills
suggest that OECD countries may be on the edge of an AI revolution.
The OECD also found that there is little evidence of negative employment effects for firms that adopt AI so
far, and workers and employees report that AI can reduce tedious and dangerous tasks, which works are dreaming
to get rid of.
Nevertheless, concerns about AI in the workforce continue to spread, with the survey last year finding that
three in five workers are worried about losing their job to AI within the next decade. Additionally, a similar
amount worry that wages would decrease due to AI, more than half of workers are concerned about privacy and
three in four say that AI has increased work pace. Rapid development and adoption mean that new skills will be
needed and others will become old-fashioned, advising that governments encourage employers to provide more
training, integrate AI skills into education and support diversity in the AI workforce.
The OECD said its report highlights the “urgent need for policy action” to address AI risks in the
workplace and to ensure “accountability and transparency for employment-related decisions supported by AI”.
“The recent acceleration of generative Al-related developments and tools marks a technological watershed
with material implications in many workplaces. There is a real need to consider longer term policy frameworks on
the use of AI in the workplace and to continue to foster international cooperation to maximize the benefits while
appropriately managing the downside risks,” OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann said in a statement.

In a world where waste management is a growing concern, learning how to turn waste into resources is
more crucial than ever. Not only does this practice support sustainability, but it also develops creativity and
financial savings. 35 At the same time you can nurture a positive, proactive mindset.
36
Plastic bottles and wrappers can be turned into eco-bricks, a sustainable building material. By tightly
packing non-recyclable plastic into bottles, you create durable blocks for construction. Wash and dry plastic waste,
then compress (压缩) it into clean, dry bottles using a stick. Keep packing until the bottle is firm and dense. These
bricks can be used for building benches, walls, or even garden features.
Crafting reusable shopping bags from old clothes.
37 It's an easy project that combines sustainability with style. Cut a T-shirt into a bag shape, sew
the bottom, and reinforce the handles. You can also add decorative elements, like fabric paint or iron-on patches,
to make your bag unique. These bags are strong, washable, and perfect for groceries or everyday tasks.
Upcycling old furniture.
Instead of throwing away old furniture, breathe new life into it through upcycling. 38 Turn an
old ladder into a bookshelf, refurbish a dresser into a kitchen island, or repaint a worn-out table for a fresh look.
Sanding and restaining (重新着色) wooden furniture can restore its beauty while adding decorative hardware can
modernize its appeal.
Turning glass jars into storage containers.
Glass jars are versatile (多用的) and can be repurposed as storage solutions for your kitchen, bathroom, or
office. They're perfect for holding dry goods, spices, or even craft supplies. You can do this by removing labels by
soaking jars in warm, soapy water. 39
A．Designing planters from tin cans.
B．Creating eco-bricks from plastic waste.
C．Transforming waste into resources goes beyond personal benefits.
D．To personalize them, consider painting or decorating the jars to match your decoration.
E．Say goodbye to single-use plastic bags by turning old clothes into reusable shopping bags.
F．This creative process not only saves money but gives your home a unique, personal touch.
G．By repurposing what you might otherwise throw away, you can help the planet and enrich your life.

Typing offers speed and clarity, but a recent Norwegian study reveals that handwriting significantly boosts
brain connectivity compared with typing.
The research published in Frontiers in Psychology by Norwegian University of Science and Technology
aimed to see if handwriting had more benefits than typing. They enlisted 36 students to write in cursive with a
digital pen or type the same words on a keyboard for 25 seconds.
The students were asked to wear a cap of EEG sensors on their heads to measure their brain waves. The
EEG cap’s 256 electrodes attached to the scalp recorded the electrical signals of the students’ brains, including
which brain cells were active and how parts of the brain communicate with each other.
The experiment found that writing by hand required communication between the brain’s visual, sensory,
and motor cortices. The candidates who were made to write with the digital pen had to visualize letters, and then
use their fine motor skills to control their movement while writing. There was no change when the participants
typed. In the end, the study concluded that writing required more brain activity and aided a person’s ability to
learn and memorize.
The co-author of this study, Audrey Van der Meer, a neuropsychology professor at the university, explained
how writing can be more advantageous than typing. She said, “The involvement of fine and intricate hand
movements in note-taking, in contrast with pressing keys on a keyboard that all require the same simple finger
movement, may be more advantageous for learning.” She added, “The brain is not challenged very much when it’
s pressing keys on a keyboard as opposed to when it’s forming those letters by hand.”
Audrey also added, “Our findings suggest that visual and movement information obtained through precisely
controlled hand movements when using a pen contribute extensively to the brain’s connectivity patterns that
promote learning,” as per the official press release. Although the participants used digital pens for handwriting,
van der Meer explained that the results are expected to be the same when using a real pen on paper. She said, “We
have shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by
hand while making more use of the senses.”
40．According to the research, what is the benefit of handwriting compared with typing
41．Why is it that handwriting can aid a person’s ability to learn and memorize
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The visual and movement information obtained through precisely controlled hand movements when
using a digital pen contributes to the brain’s connectivity patterns that promote learning, but it does not
work when using a real pen on paper.
43．Apart from the benefits discussed in the article, how can you benefit from writing by hand (In about 40
words)
