The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can't step into the same river twice, for you aren't the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing.
Yet so many of us have difficulty adapting to change. We deny it, resist it or attempt to control it, the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety and burnout.
It doesn't have to be that way. No doubt, change can, and often does, hurt. But with the right mindset, it can also be a force for growth. It's not as if we have any choice in the matter. Like it or not, life is change. We'd be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with change instead.
A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as "stability through change". In other words, the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.
From neuroscience to pain science and psychology, allostasis has become the standard model for understanding change in the scientific community. The brain is at its best when it is constantly making new connections. Overcoming pain, be it physical or psychological, is not about resistance (which often worsens the experience) or trying to get back to where you were before a distressing event or situation. It's about balancing acceptance with problem - solving and moving forward to a new normal.
Yet this concept is still little known to ordinary people and it is time to start practicing it now. Over the past few years, the river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Hardly a decade after the widespread adoption of social media, a new technology that may be far more powerful, artificial intelligence, is being widely used.
It's like what our friend Heraclitus advised: Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can't. Our ability to work with these changes is directly related to our life satisfaction.
24. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. We could have a right mindset. B. Philosophy exists everywhere.
C. Some people are wiser than others. D. Change is unavoidable in life.
25. How should we deal with changes according to the author
A. Ignore them. B. Participate in them.
C. Fight against them. D. Put them under control.
26. What does the underlined phrase "letting up" in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Slowing down. B. Setting off.
C. Marching on. D. Pulling in.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Can't We Adapt to Changes in Life
B. How Can We Increase Our Life Satisfaction
C. Let's Transform Our Relationship With Change.
D. Try to Help the Public to Understand Allostasis
(C★)
Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy(遗产). But a scientist exploring which items from our technological civilization are most likely to survive for many millions of years as fossils(化石) has reached an ironic and instructive conclusion: Plastic and fast fashion will be our everlasting geological signature.
“ Plastic will definitely be a signature‘technofossil’, because it is incredibly tough, we are making massive amounts of it, and it gets around the entire globe,” says Sarah Gabbott,a University of Leicester expert on fossils. “So wherever those future civilizations dig, they are going to find plastic.”
Clothes will also make an abrupt entry into humanity's fossil record. Today, the world's growing population often wears mass - produced synthetic(合成的) clothing that are rapidly thrown away and they are not as easily decomposed as cotton and silk.
“ We are making them in ridiculous amounts,” says Gabbott. We throw them into landfills(填埋场), which are like giant mummification tombs. It is already clear that much of modern fashion will end up being truly timeless.”
Fossils are not just objects left behind, but also the traces of life's activity written into the rocks. Human activities, such as oil drilling and nuclear tests, will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near - indestructible chemicals, such as dioxins and DDT. Given that similar molecules produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1,600m years old in Western Australia, these chemicals appear to be here to stay. “And there is the graphite(石墨) used in pencils,” says Gabbott.
“It is endearing to think that it may be the drawings of children that may survive best of all: a pencil portrait, perhaps, of a family outside a house, with the sun shining and a rainbow arcing across the sky,” she says jokingly.
“The big message here is that the amount of stuff we are now making is eye - watering—it's off the scale,” says Gabbott. All of the stuff made by humans by 1950 was a small part of all the matter on Earth. But today it outweighs all plants and animals. “This raises serious questions for us all,” she says, “Do you need that Do you really need to buy more ”
28. What does the author think of plastic and cheap clothes as a legacy
A. Troubling. B. Short - lived. C. Technologically weak. D. Environmentally harmless.
29. What can be categorized as“technofossils”
A. Dinosaur bones. B. Cotton clothing.
C. Nuclear waste. D. Silk clothes.
30. Why are "children's drawings" mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To highlight human creativity.
B. To celebrate modern technology.
C. To stress that warmth of life is here to stay.
D. To indicate that chemicals could be fossilized.
31. What is Gabbott's primary concern
A. Biodiversity loss. B. Geological record accuracy.
C. Technological progress. D. Overproduction of material goods.
D
Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray - brown soil are dotted with areas of dark rock — and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called "standing stone circles" by archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood.
In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating (发掘) these standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石器时代的游牧民) for some long - forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites, they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt — domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes.
Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500
B.
C. This agreed with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees, good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau's abundance of stones, may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build.
Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people's way of life. They kept cattle and goats for meat, but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hares, fruits and nuts. The many grinding (磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains, but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea —— these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange.
The revelation cancels many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging.
32. What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the "standing stone circles" as
A. Religious sites. B. Natural wonders. C. Rubbish stations. D. Domestic buildings.
33. What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles
A. The richness of plants. B. The worsening climate. C. The need to store goods. D. The desire to raise more animals.
34. What is most likely TRUE about Neolithic people's way of life in AIUla
A. They had interactions with other groups.
B. They planted crops and kept cattle and goats.
C. They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food.
D. They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To promote a historical site.
B. To provide some new insights.
C. To introduce an ancient population.
D. To argue for some long - held beliefs.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It's no secret that artificial intelligence(AI) is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high - level cognitive(认知的) work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. 36 ____
The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly(组装) lines, which doesn't foster or help the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. 37 This type of output doesn't fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity.
Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work damages creative idea generation, high quality and complex cognitive work. 38 ____ It's recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.
39 Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than forcing the same schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it's better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem - solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. 40 In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn't require much creativity or focus.
A. That's because people tend to overwork.
B. The time of day will also make a difference.
C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized.
D. To excel in the new era, we'll need to transform how we work.
E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity.
F. Because of that, it's better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest.
G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration.

Today I'll be speaking to you about drones, also 56 (refer) to as UAVs. Flying around on their own, drones have already been used for photography, scientific research and military operations. They will come into wider use in various fields in the near future. 57 all the wonderful functions that drones perform, they may also cause risks.
Take air traffic for example. When passenger drones are flying above our cities in large 58 (quantity), the sky will be getting more and more crowded. As a result, they are 59 (likely) to crash into each other. In addition, drones cause much trouble for airlines as some of them fly near airports, posing 60 threat to planes that are taking off or landing.
61 is that people might take advantage of drones to harm others. For instance, as more people 62 (use) drones for photography in the future, some might spy on and take photographs of others without their knowledge. 63 (legal) hunters might also use drones to track and kill animals.
Such issues require 64 (address) urgently. The government needs to make laws to monitor the production and use of drones. For example, in some countries, a remote pilot licence is required in
order to fly a drone for business purposes. At the moment, different countries are developing air traffic control platforms, 65 large numbers of drones can be managed. Police forces around the world are also looking at ways of stopping drones from flying near airports and stadiums.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
My elder brother and I were on a vacation, and one morning he excitedly shared with me that there was a hidden lake atop a mountain nearby. It had always been on his wish list to see this lake, and he wanted us to make the hike to reach it.
The trail was a 10 - mile round trip, rated as a difficult hike. The moment I heard this, my heart sank, and panic began to set in, as I feared I wouldn't have the energy to make it to the top. I hadn't been very active recently and couldn't shake the belief, that with academic pressure and workload growing heavier, comes a natural decline in energy and motivation.
Nonetheless, early the next morning, we set off, eager to make this dream a reality. The difficulty was apparent from the start. The route was steep, and my body protested with every step.
About halfway up, we encountered another brother and sister who had decided to turn back, clearly discouraged by the difficulty of the route. I noticed the brother’s disappointed expression,
and something in me shifted. I couldn't bear the thought of giving up. Right then, I made up my mind
that I would press on, no matter how tough it got.
As we continued on, a surprising thing happened. Instead of focusing on how difficult the hike was, I found myself appreciating the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Each step through the woods felt like a journey into a timeless world, where the heavy burden and stress from study seemed to disappear, replaced by the timeless rhythms of nature.
My brother and I chatted as we walked, and I realized how much joy I found in the simple pleasure of his company. What had seemed like an unattainable goal had transformed into a source of personal fulfillment and connection with nature and my brother.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, the hike wasn't without its challenges.
Finally, after hours of hard work, we made it to the top.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。生命中唯一不变的就是变化。作者认为我们要学会适应无法改变的变化,积极地在变化中成长。
24. D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing.”可知答案。
25. B。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We'd be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with cha nge instead.”及最后一段中的“It's like what our friend Heraclitus advised: Take part in change...”可知,作者认为比较可行的态度是积极参与到变化中来。
26. A。词义猜测题。根据画线词后“Hardly a decade after the widespread adoption of social media, a new technology that may b e far more powerful, artificial intelligence, is being widely used.”可推断,科技进步还没有放慢的迹象。
27. C。标题判断题。通读全文,特别是第三段及第四段可知,作者希望我们能改变心态去适应无法改变的变化,并积极地在变化中成长。
【语篇导读】文章介绍了科学家研究发现塑料、快时尚衣物等人类制造的物品很可能成为数百万年后的化石,这引发了对物质过度生产的思考。
28. A。观点态度题。第一段提到“Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy(遗产).”,说明作者认为塑料和廉价衣服作为遗产并非好事。后文又指出这些物品会成为化石,带来一系列问题,如“This raises serious q uestions forus all”,所以作者认为塑料和廉价衣服作为遗产是令人担忧的。
29. C.细节理解题.根据“Human activities, such as oil drilling and nuclear tests, will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near - indestructible chemicals, such as dioxins and DDT.”可知,核废料是核试验产生的,属于人类活动产生的难以分解、会长期留存的物质,符合“technofossils(技术化石)”的特征。
30. D。写作目的题。文中的“Given that similar molecules produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1.600m years old in Western Australia, these chemicals appear to be here to stay.‘And there is the graphite(石
墨) used in pencils,’ says Gabbott.”先说明了一些化学物质能长期留存,然后提到铅笔中的石墨,接着说孩子的画目的就是表明像铅笔中的石墨这种化学物质可以形成化石。
31. D。细节理解题。根据文中的“The big message here is that the amount of stuff we’re making is incredibly eye -watering — It’s off the scale...”和“This raises serious questions for us all”以及“Do you need that
Do you really need to buy more ”可知,Gabbott 强调了人类制造的物质产品数量过多,并对此表示质疑,还反问是否真这么多东西,这表明她主要关注的是物质产品的过度生产问题。
【语篇导读】语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与社会文章介绍了沙特一处新石器时代的建筑,该建筑的发掘让考古学家对沙特新石器时代的游牧民有了新的认识。
32. D。从第二段中的“The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes.”可知,该建筑是新石器时代游牧民建立的定居地。
33. A。从第三段中的“More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands,which made building homes more worthwhile.”可知,丰富的植被是促进游牧民定居的重要原因之一。
34. A。从第四段“...these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange.”可推知,新石器时期的沙特游牧民可能和其他地区的人群有往来。
35. B。从文章首段末句和最后一段的内容可知,本文介绍了沙特一处新石器时代的建筑,该建筑的发掘推翻了考古学家之前对于沙特新石器时代游牧民的设想,为该地区游牧民的生活方式提供了新的认识。
36. D。前文指出人工智能改变了工作模式,简单任务被自动化,人类需要专注于高阶认知工作;后文则提出“问题是我们仍沿用流水线时代的思维模式,这一点不能促进或帮助现在所需要的工作类型”。此空前两句以及第二段首句都离不开关键词“工作”所以它起到承上启下的作用,既承接前文的时代变化引起工作的变化,又引出后文“需要转变工作方式来适应这种变化”的观点。
37. C。前文提到“领导者总是用员工的工作时长或完成的抽象目标数量来衡量生产力”,这是原因;此空是结果———因此,工作的“数量”被放在了优先位置。后文紧接着说“这种产出模式不适合人工智能时代”,正好与“重视数量”形成转折。
38. F。前文指出“研究表明,持续工作会损害创意生成和高质量的复杂认知工作”,这是弊端;此空提出解决方案———因此,最好分段式工作,让大脑得到休息。后文的“推荐使用约 90 分钟的工作时段”正是对“分段式工作(work inbursts)”的具体解释。
39. B。此空是该段的主题句。后文提到“管理者应考虑团队或个人的核心工作领域,而非强制统一的工作时间表”,并具体说明“一天的前几个小时和睡前更适合做创造性任务”,这些内容都围绕“一天中的不同时间对工作效率有影响”展开,与选项B 的主题一致。
40. G。前文提到“一天前几小时和睡前适合创意、想象力相关任务”,后文提到“专注工作时段之间可以小憩或做无需创造力的简单工作”。此空补充了一天中间时段的工作建议,形成完整的时间规划逻辑:上午/睡前(创意)→中午(专注类任务)→间隙(休息/简单工作)。

Dear fellow students,
As the"Health Campus Week" is approaching, we are appealing to everyone to join us in building a healthier and more vibrant school life.
First, maintaining a balanced diet is essential, for a well - balanced diet delivers the steady energy we need for daily study. Equally important is engaging in regular physical exercise, which not only strengthens the body but also significantly improves mood and mental well - being, helping us manage stress more effectively. Additionally, make sure to get sufficient sleep, thus consolidating memory, enhancing concentration, and keeping our minds clear and alert during class. Only by cultivating healthy living habits can we face each day's challenges with greater efficiency.
Let's take action now and make healthy choices every day. Together, we can create a healthier and happier campus! The Student
Union 第二节【参考范文】
However, the hike wasn't without its challenges. My legs began to ache, and my breath came in short bursts as the path became more uneven, with loose rocks and roots tripping me up. At times, I questioned whether I could keep going. Despite the fact that my mind tried to convince me to stop and turn back, my resolution was stronger now. The disappointed expression of the brother we encountered etched in my mind, driving me to clench my teeth to persevere. Every time my legs protested, I reminded myself that with each step, I was growing stronger, both physically and mentally.
Finally, after hours of hard work, we made it to the top. The view that greeted us was beyond anything I had imagined. The hidden lake sparkled beneath the clear blue sky, surrounded by towering trees. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelmed. I stood there, taking in the breathtaking scenery. My brother smiled at me, his eyes reflecting pride and joy. It was at that moment that I realized the journey had been just as important as the destination. The hike had tested me in ways I didn't expect, but it had also shown me how much I was capable of. Together, we had made it, and it felt like a true triumph.

W: I need your advice about planning the school trip for our students. It's important to make it enjoyable for everyone.
M: What are the key things you're considering
W: Well, some students use wheelchairs, so the place must be completely accessible. We also need quiet areas for anyone who struggles with loud environments.

W: I think so. There's a local science museum which is quite suitable. It provides entry and a guided tour for just $10 per child.
M: That sounds reasonable. How many students are going
W: Twenty students, and we also need two staff members for support. Staff tickets cost half the price of the children's tickets.
M: And transport

M: It sounds like you've got things covered. The kids will love it. Have you considered the needs of the students with eyesight problems
W: Yes, but there aren't any children who can't see well going on this trip.

Hi, everyone. This is the monthly meeting of our club. We've been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today, we'll hear something different. We're honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of BritishColumbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it's challenging to be a health expert, because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren't willing to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online. It's really important to hear what experts say and that's why we've invited Emma here. She isn't going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let's welcome Emma Wilson.
