It was a stormy evening, and all that Neil could hope was to find a shelter that could keep him protected from the chilly wind and cold rain. After work he had to get home on time, as his busy schedule was preventing him from spending quality time with his family. The bus stop on the way provided temporary shelter, where Neil was becoming increasingly agitated(焦虑不安的) with every passing minute. All his evening plans were washed out.
“Sir, why don’t you buy a pack of groundnuts(花生) from me ” Neil looked around to see a man in rag standing by his side. “Oh, no, I’m not interested right now.” “Fried groundnuts will do you a world of good now. Moreover, you can also take some for your family.” The very mention of family brought a concern to Neil. His wife had specifically told him to come home early, if not for her sake, at least for the sake of their seven-year-old son.
When he was lost in thought, the groundnut seller had filled a bag with the remaining nuts and offered him an unexpectedly low price. But, Neil refused to buy them: “I do not want to buy anything at this point!” Suddenly, he heard a voice of a kid. “Dad, I want some money to buy books for the school.” He saw a ten-year-old boy, totally drenched from top to bottom, as though he had just run a race. He was talking to the groundnut seller. “Yes, yes, I’m ready to leave e! How many books do you want Why did you get wet in the rain Your mother must be getting worried.”
Neil turned to the seller. There was an instant when they both made the perfect eye contact. Neil had the look of what it is to be a father. The groundnut seller did not say anything and gave the packet of groundnuts without saying a word. Neil pulled a note from his wallet, placed it in the man’s hand, and walked away without waiting for the change.
24．Why did Neil become more anxious at the bus stop
A．The rain stopped him from getting home on time.
B．The chilly wind made him feel colder and colder.
C．He thought of his boring and heavy work.
D．He couldn’t find a good place to keep off the rain.

A．He didn’t have enough money on him. B．His family doesn’t like groundnuts.
C．He was in a bad mood at that time. D．His family was a little poor.
26．What does the underlined word “drenched” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Wet through. B．Very excited. C．Well dressed. D．Sweat heavily.
27．What made Neil buy all the seller’s groundnuts
A．The seller’s generous action. B．His having a pity for the seller.
C．The seller’s greatness as a father. D．His being moved by the seller’s son.
Protecting endangered species is an urgent priority for conservationists worldwide. However, a more effective approach may lie in addressing the causes of species endangerment before they reach the brink of extinction. Rather than relying solely on emergency measures, such as endangered species lists and rehabilitation (修复) efforts, conservation experts are now pushing for a more proactive approach to biodiversity preservation.
One of the main drivers of species extinction is habitat destruction. As forests are cut down, wetlands drained, and oceans polluted, wildlife lose their homes. When animals cannot find food or shelter, they often become endangered or extinct. Climate change is another significant threat, as it alters the ecosystems that animals depend on for survival. These rapid changes in the environment often leave species unable to adapt quickly enough, pushing them closer to extinction.
One solution is the preservation of entire ecosystems. Rather than focusing only on individual species, conservationists are now working to protect habitats and landscapes that provide vital resources for many species. For example, by protecting forests or coral reefs, entire ecosystems are safeguarded, allowing the biodiversity they support to thrive. This holistic (整体的) approach helps prevent the need for emergency protection measures for individual species, as it addresses the root causes of species decline.
Another strategy involves sustainable resource management. Many species are threatened by over-exploitation, including poaching (偷猎), fishing, and hunting. Governments and organizations are working to establish regulations that promote the sustainable use of natural resources. By ensuring that ecosystems are not overburdened, these measures help preserve biodiversity and reduce the risk of species extinction.
In conclusion, while emergency measures like endangered species protection are necessary, a more effective long-term strategy is to focus on ecosystem conservation and sustainable resource use. Protecting the environments that animals rely on is essential for preventing the loss of biodiversity and ensuring the survival of future generations of wildlife.
28．What does the underlined word “brink” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Limit. B．Rescue.
C．Crisis. D．Edge.
29．What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4
A．Over-harvesting marine life is biodiversity’s greatest danger.
B．Single-species conservation yields optimal results.
C．Regulating the use of natural resources helps protect biodiversity.
D．Habitat protection removes the need for all other actions.
30．What does the conclusion emphasize
A．Ecosystem conservation is fundamental.
B．Protection of individual species is key.
C．Sustainable resource use should be ignored.
D．Emergency measures are the most important.
31．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．A nature documentary script.
B．A wildlife conservation report.
C．A climate change policy document.
D．An environmental magazine article.
Imagine waking up feeling anxious and hopeless. You think, “I’ll never be happy. Nothing I do matters.” The more you focus on these thoughts, the worse you feel. But what’s really going on Are your thoughts causing your feelings, or is it the other way around
For centuries, people have debated the cause of emotional suffering. Is it childhood trauma (创伤) A chemical imbalance in the brain A lack of love and connection Every school of psychology has its own theory, with hundreds of ideas but little conclusive proof.
Over 1,700 years ago, the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus proposed a different theory. He argued that it’s not life events that upset us, but our thoughts about them. This idea became the foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT suggests that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. It’s an exciting claim — but is it true We decided to test it using data from a new mental health app.
In our first study, we analyzed data from 290 testers of the Feeling Great app. Unlike traditional studies that rely on broad, retrospective (回顾性) surveys (asking how you’ve felt over the past two weeks), our app measured users’ negative thoughts and feelings in the here and now, using new, extremely sensitive scales. This distinction is crucial. By tracking moment-to-moment changes, we could test if negative thoughts (e.g., “I’m a failure”) actually cause negative feelings or if it’s the other way around. On average, users who reduced their belief in their negative thought to zero experienced an 87% reduction in seven negative emotions during their first session. Our data strongly supports CBT’s central idea that thoughts shape emotions far more than emotions shape thoughts.
To ensure that our findings were solid, we conducted a second independent study with 1,393 users of an AI-enhanced version of the app. The results Practically identical. Interestingly, with the larger sample size, we did detect a small but statistically significant effect of emotions influencing thoughts — but the effect was barely detectable and far weaker than the impact of thoughts on feelings. This suggests that emotions can sometimes influence thoughts, but the effect is minor in comparison to the power of thoughts to shape emotions. And that’s a discovery Epictetus would have been proud of.
32．What is the central idea of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) discussed in the article
A．Changing how you think can affect how you feel.
B．Life events are the main cause of our emotional struggles.
C．Childhood trauma is the root cause of emotional distress.
D．Emotions shape thoughts more than thoughts shape emotions.
33．What was different about the Feeling Great app study
A．It focused on physical symptoms.
B．It tracked thoughts and feelings in real-time.
C．It asked users to recall past emotions.
D．It tracked emotions over a long period.
34．What did the second study show
A．Users’ emotions were unchanged.
B．Emotions greatly affect your thinking.
C．Thoughts and emotions are unrelated.
D．Thoughts have a stronger effect on emotions.
35．Which of the following would be the best title for this article
A．The Power of Emotions: How They Shape Our Thoughts
B．Childhood Trauma and Depression: Unveiling the Connection
C．Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Changing How We Think to Feel Better
D．What Causes Depression: New Research Confirms Ancient Wisdom
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries, from healthcare to finance, but unlocking its full potential requires intentional strategies. Whether you’re a startup founder, a corporate leader, or a researcher, fostering AI innovation (创新) demands a blend of technical expertise (专长), creativity, and collaboration. 36
Build a Strong Foundation in AI Fundamentals
37 Invest in learning core AI concepts like machine learning (ML), neural networks, and natural language processing (NLP). Platforms like Coursera, edX, and fast.ai offer accessible courses. For teams, sponsor workshops or certifications to bridge skill gaps. Understanding tools like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or cloud-based AI services (AWS SageMaker, Google AI) is equally critical.
38
AI thrives when solving real-world challenges. Identify pain points in your industry — such as automating repetitive tasks, enhancing data analysis, or improving customer experiences — and align (与……达成一致) AI projects with these goals. For example, healthcare innovators use AI for early disease detection, while retailers deploy it for personalized recommendations. Start small: Pilot a single use case to test feasibility before scaling.
Cultivate Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration
Breakthroughs often emerge at the intersection of fields. Encourage collaboration between data scientists, domain experts (e.g., doctors, engineers), and ethicists. 39 Partnerships with universities or research labs can accelerate access to cutting-edge techniques.
40 It’s about vision, adaptability, and a commitment to solving humanity’s toughest challenges. By combining technical rigor with ethical foresight, you can turn AI’s potential into transformative reality.
A．Prioritize Problem-Driven Development
B．Foster a Culture of Experimentation
C．Innovation starts with knowledge.
D．Responsible AI is non-negotiable.
E．AI innovation isn’t just about technology.
F．Here’s how to cultivate breakthroughs in this fast-evolving field.
G．Open-source communities like GitHub also provide platforms for sharing datasets.

24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“After work he had to get home on time, as his busy schedule was preventing him from spending quality time with his family.(下班之后他必须准时回家，因为他繁忙的日程，使他无法与家人共度美好时光)”以及“All his evening plans were washed out(他所有的晚上计划都泡汤了)”可知，他在公交车站感到焦虑的原因是大雨使他不能按时回家与家人团聚。故选A。
25．推理判断题。根据上文“The bus stop on the way provided temporary shelter, where Neil was becoming increasingly agitated(焦虑不安的) with every passing minute. All his evening plans were washed out(回家路上的公交车站给他提供了暂时的躲雨的地方，随着每一分钟的流逝，Neil变得越来越焦虑不安。他所有的晚上计划都泡汤了)”可知，此时他心情很糟糕，因此没有心情买花生。故选C。
26．词句猜测题。根据上文“Suddenly, he heard a voice of a kid.(突然，他听到了一个小孩的声音)”以及下文“Why did you get wet in the rain (你为什么在雨中淋湿了)”可知，小男孩全身上下都湿透了，所以划线的词意为湿透了。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Neil turned to the seller. There was an instant when they both made the perfect eye contact. Neil had the look of what it is to be a father.( Neil转向卖家。有那么一瞬间，他们的眼神完美的交流。Neil看到了同为父亲的责任)”可知，Neil被花生小贩同为父亲的责任感所感动。故选C。
28．D 29．C 30．A 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了全球物种保护的重要性，强调了栖息地破坏和气候变化是物种灭绝主要原因，提倡保护生态系统和可持续资源管理，以实现长远的生物多样性保护。
28．词句猜测题。根据划线句“However, a more effective approach may lie in addressing the causes of species endangerment before they reach the brink of extinction.(然而，更有效的办法可能是在物种到达灭绝brink之前解决它们濒危的原因)”可知，“brink”指的是某事即将发生的“边缘”，通常用来表示接近某种危机或极限状态。所以这里的意思是物种接近灭绝的“边缘”。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据第三内容和第四段中“Governments and organizations are working to establish regulations that promote the sustainable use of natural resources. By ensuring that ecosystems are not overburdened, these measures help preserve biodiversity and reduce the risk of species extinction.(各国政府和组织正在努力制定规章制度，促进自然资源的可持续利用。通过确保生态系统不会负担过重，这些措施有助于保护生物多样性并减少物种灭绝的风险)”可知，文章提到了可持续资源管理的重要性，强调通过制定相关规定，合理管理自然资源，可以有效保护生物多样性。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段结论中“In conclusion, while emergency measures like endangered species protection are necessary, a more effective long-term strategy is to focus on ecosystem conservation and sustainable resource use. Protecting the environments that animals rely on is essential for preventing the loss of biodiversity and ensuring the survival of future generations of wildlife.(综上所述，虽然保护濒危物种等紧急措施是必要的，但更有效的长期战略是注重生态系统保护和资源的可持续利用。保护动物赖以生存的环境对于防止生物多样性丧失和确保野生动物后代的生存至关重要)”可知，文章强调了保护整个生态系统和可持续资源使用的重要性，指出这才是更有效的长期战略，而不是仅仅依赖紧急的物种保护措施。因此，选项A“生态系统保护至关重要”是正确的。选项B、C和D则与文章的结论不符。故选A。
31．推理判断题。文章围绕野生动物保护策略展开，逻辑严谨，依次分析物种濒危原因（栖息地破坏、气候变化）、提出解决方案（生态系统整体保护、可持续资源管理），并总结长期策略的重要性。这种“问题分析—解决方案—结论”的框架是典型的报告类文本的特征，尤其是政策建议或学术报告。故选B。
32．A 33．B 34．D 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了认知行为疗法及其科学验证。
32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“CBT suggests that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. (认知行为疗法认为，如果你改变思维方式，就能改变感受方式。)”可知，认知行为疗法的核心观点是改变思维方式可以影响感受方式。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Unlike traditional studies that rely on broad, retrospective (回顾性) surveys (asking how you’ve felt over the past two weeks), our app measured users’ negative thoughts and feelings in the here and now, using new, extremely sensitive scales. (与传统的依赖于广泛、回顾性调查（询问过去两周的感受）的研究不同，我们的应用程序使用新的、极其敏感的量表来测量用户此时此地的负面想法和感受。)”可知，Feeling Great应用程序研究的不同之处在于它实时追踪了想法和感受。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This suggests that emotions can sometimes influence thoughts, but the effect is minor in comparison to the power of thoughts to shape emotions. (这表明情绪有时会影响想法，但与想法塑造情绪的力量相比，这种影响微不足道。)”可知，第二项研究表明想法对情绪的影响更大。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是结合第三段中“Over 1,700 years ago, the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus proposed a different theory. He argued that it’s not life events that upset us, but our thoughts about them. This idea became the foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT suggests that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. It’s an exciting claim — but is it true We decided to test it using data from a new mental health app. (1700多年前，希腊斯多葛学派哲学家爱比克泰德提出了一个不同的理论。他认为，让我们心烦意乱的并不是生活事件本身，而是我们对它们的看法。这一观点成为了认知行为疗法（CBT）的基础。CBT认为，如果你改变思维方式，就能改变感受方式。这是一个令人兴奋的说法——但它是真的吗？我们决定利用一款新的心理健康应用程序的数据来验证这一点。)”可知，文章介绍了新研究通过验证认知行为疗法的理论，证实了古老智慧（即思想对情绪的影响）在抑郁症成因中的重要性，D选项“What Causes Depression: New Research Confirms Ancient Wisdom (是什么导致了抑郁症：新研究证实古老智慧)”最符合文章标题。故选D。

37．根据后文“Invest in learning core AI concepts like machine learning (ML), neural networks, and natural language processing (NLP). Platforms like Coursera, edX, and fast.ai offer accessible courses. For teams, sponsor workshops or certifications to bridge skill gaps. Understanding tools like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or cloud-based AI services (AWS SageMaker, Google AI) is equally critical.(要投资学习核心的人工智能概念，比如机器学习（ML）、神经网络和自然语言处理（NLP）。像 Coursera、edX 和 fast.ai 这样的平台提供了易于获取的课程。对于团队而言，赞助研讨会或认证项目以填补技能缺口也是很有必要的。了解像 TensorFlow、PyTorch 或基于云的 AI 服务（如 AWS SageMaker、Google AI）这样的工具同样至关重要)”可知，第二段核心是“学习AI基础知识”，C项“创新始于知识”精准概括该段主旨，且与后文“Invest in learning ...”形成总分逻辑。故选C。
38．根据本段内容“AI thrives when solving real-world challenges. Identify pain points in your industry — such as automating repetitive tasks, enhancing data analysis, or improving customer experiences — and align (与……达成一致) AI projects with these goals. For example, healthcare innovators use AI for early disease detection, while retailers deploy it for personalized recommendations. Start small: Pilot a single use case to test feasibility before scaling.(当用于解决实际问题时，人工智能会蓬勃发展。找出您所在行业的痛点——比如自动化重复性任务、提升数据分析能力或者改善客户体验——并将人工智能项目与这些目标相匹配。例如，医疗领域的创新者利用人工智能进行疾病早期检测，而零售商则将其用于个性化推荐。从小处着手：先试点一个单一的用例来测试可行性，然后再进行推广)”可知，第三段强调AI需解决实际问题(如医疗、零售案例)，A项“优先采用问题导向型开发模式”直接对应段落内容，且与后文“Identify pain points”完全一致。故选A。
39．段落主题是“Cultivate Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration(促进跨学科合作)”且先提出鼓励数据科学家、领域专家和伦理学家的协作，后文“Partnerships with universities or research labs can accelerate access to cutting-edge techniques.(与大学或研究机构建立合作关系能够加快获取前沿技术的速度)”提到与大学或研究机构的合作。选项G中的“also”表明这是另一种补充性的合作方式(开源社区)，与“与大学合作”形成递进关系，体现合作方式的多样性。G选项“诸如 GitHub 这样的开源社区还为数据共享提供了平台”符合语境，故选G。
40．根据后文“It’s about vision, adaptability, and a commitment to solving humanity’s toughest challenges. By combining technical rigor with ethical foresight, you can turn AI’s potential into transformative reality.(这关乎愿景、适应能力以及解决人类最严峻挑战的决心。通过将严谨的技术与前瞻性的道德理念相结合，您就能将人工智能的潜力转化为具有变革意义的现实)”以及结尾升华主题，强调AI创新超越技术本身。E项“AI创新不仅是技术”与后文“vision, adaptability, commitment”形成递进，完美总结全文主旨。故选E。

67．One possible version:
Soon Ruby arrived with her team and she knew exactly what to do. Quickly but carefully, she climbed down the hill to the place where Lily was lying. Horror and pain could be easily detected from Lily’s face. No time to waste! Ruby immediately got the other girls to help her lift the tree trunk from Lily’s leg, only to find her leg was broken. Without any hesitation, she put Lily into the best position and hugged this trembling girl closely to keep her warm. After a short time, Grace rushed back, yelling, “The ambulance is coming soon.”
Ten minutes later, they heard an ambulance siren. Then two men with a stretcher and a doctor arrived. The doctor asked, “Who put the girl into this position and helped her stay warm ” “I did,” Ruby answered. “Well done!” the doctor gave her a thumb up. Gratefully looking up at Ruby, Lily smiled, “Thank you.” Thunderous applause from the girls around burst out, including those in Ruby’s team. Happy and proud, Ruby couldn’t help whispering to herself, “I can be fast when it’s important.”
