We were sailing on a white boat through the clear waters of Turks and Caicos. The view was so
beautiful that even my teenage daughter, Kavya, paused her usual rudeness to admire the scenery and
breathe in the salty air.
Instead of relaxing by the pools, we had spent the previous day training for our big scuba(潜水)trip.
We took a course with written tests and did two exhausting pool practices. Now, the moment had arrived.
Our instructor was about to place the helmets(头盔) on our heads. I took a deep breath. This was it—— my
chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share.
But suddenly, Kavya pulled my arm. Her face showed the same worried look she had during math
homework. I could sense her emotions tightening under her diving suit. Just as the instructor approached,
she whispered,“Dad, can I quit ” The waves sounded louder, the gear(设备) heavier.Surprisingly, I didn't
say what I normally would:“Quitting is not an option！”I even stopped myself from thinking,“But this was
my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her
and making us both laugh awkwardly.
When she was little, connecting with Kavya was effortless. I knew everything about her, and she
always joined my adventures with pure excitement. But as she grew older, she discovered her own interests,
drifting away from mine. What followed were sighs, eye-rolls, and half-hearted“I guess so”replies. I had
hoped this scuba course would bring us closer again. I didn't expect her quitting to hit me so hard or so
suddenly.
Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word
games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn't only in big adventures. It wasn't the moment of
closeness I had imagined—— but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed.
24. Why did the author train hard for the diving trip
A. To impress the instructor. B. To relax in natural beauty.
C. To grow closer to his daughter. D. To challenge himself physically.
25. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 3
A. Strict and determined. B. Insightful and inspiring.
C. Resourceful and encouraging. D. Thoughtful and understanding.
26. Which could be a suggestion from the author to parents of teenagers
A. Be adaptive. B. Be courageous.
C. Be protective. D. Be adventurous.
27. What key message is expressed in the story
A. Nature helps to bridge generation gaps.
B. Bonding happens naturally in shared moments.
C. Scheduled adventures ruin true happiness.
D. Connections rely heavily on thoughtful planning.
C
Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images.Yet
this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true
value of design The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical thinking.
Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This
understanding begins with the individual —— how a building can shape people's emotions. It then extends
to the community —— whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart.
Ultimately, it touches upon time itself —— how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the
need for change. In many cities, preserving every old structure, no matter its function or relevance, has
become something of a sacred cow, admired by all but discussed by few. Yet true architectural philosophy
requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community's best interest.
AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why,for
instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms —— not offices —— in the brightest and highest
spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality. As scholar Nayef Al-Rodhan points out,“good design should
possess valuable qualities, including fairness, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be outsourced to AI.”
In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who master
philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia's planned city“The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only
technological but also philosophical —— it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows
people to live in harmony with nature. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it
challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life.
Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity,
community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets
philosophy, not where one replaces the other.
28. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage
A. To introduce examples of modern cities.
B. To compare architecture with philosophy.
C. To describe how AI will change construction.
D. To present architecture from a philosophical view.
29. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia
A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI will reshape public buildings.
C. The best design feels almost invisible. D. Equality is the core of modern design.
30. Which of the following best describes the nature of“The Line”
A. A philosophy-guided theory. B. An eco-friendly city project.
C. A social-welfare housing plan. D. An economically-driven design.
31. According to the passage, what should architects do in the age of AI
A. Shift from drawing to building. B. Bring soul and meaning to designs.
C. Employ AI as a powerful co-pilot. D. Prioritize philosophy over function.
D
In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to
learn something. Whether it's skipping a follow- up doctor's appointment or refusing to read an unsettling
news article, this tendency has a name: the“Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its
head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs.
In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite
candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for
their teeth Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know—— good or bad, the information itself was
exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the
downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was
bad.
So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders The answer lies in
emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的 )—— it often carries consequences for how we feel. News
about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge,
people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions.
Sparing ourselves from distress can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can
outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger
health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or rigid beliefs. When people
deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth,
understanding, and connection.
At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also
fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our
decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace
curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt,and succeed.
32. Which of the following shows the“Ostrich Effect”
A. A student actively seeks feedback from teachers.
B. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills.
C. A boy refuses to attend his cousin's birthday party.
D. An employee buries himself in research and data analysis.
33. Why does the“Ostrich Effect” occur
A. It blocks out distractions. B. It keeps us from feeling bad.
C. It helps us see things positively. D. It encourages independent thinking.
34. What does the underlined word“entrench” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Expose. B. Remove. C. Deepen. D. Transform.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Why Not Knowing Can Seem So Sweet
B. Why Embracing Curiosity Truly Matters
C. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort is the Best Option
D. From Candy to Curiosity: The Evolution of Resilience

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
From the moment humankind first closed its eyes and slipped into the shifting landscapes of
sleep,dreams have haunted(萦绕 ) and fascinated us. At night, images rise uninvited: loved ones long
gone,gods who speak in riddles, beasts both feared and admired, and journeys across impossible places.
36 They were messages, and visions——a secret language whispered by the universe to the soul.
In ancient China, the Zhou Li (Rites of Zhou) and other classical texts describe dream interpretation as
a means to predict the future. Dreams were believed to reveal disturbances in the balance of yin and yang,
or it could signal harmony restored. For example, a dream of flowing water might symbolize life's
continuity. 37
One of the most famous dream passages in Chinese philosophy comes from Zhuangzi. He once
dreamed he was a butterfly. Upon waking, he questioned whether he was a man who dreamed he was a
butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming he was a man. 38 It vividly captured the Chinese view of
dreams as a space which is a mix of reality and illusion(错觉).
39 Researchers in neuroscience explain dreams as patterns of brain activity, memory processing,
and emotional regulation. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, where most vivid dreaming occurs, is now
understood as crucial for learning and psychological balance. Sigmund Freud suggested dreams were wish-
fulfillments; Carl Jung saw them as messages from the collective unconscious.
Though modernity explains dreams with science, it cannot remove their poetic charm. We are still
dreamers, still seekers, still interpreters of the night's riddles. 40 We walk with gods, with ancestors,
with the timeless mysteries of existence.
A. This dream has been retold for centuries.
B. Likewise, broken objects could warn of trouble.
C. To the ancients, dreams were never meaningless.
D. How dreams are interpreted varies from culture to culture.
E. Today, science throws light on the distinct roles of dreams.
F. The ancients remind us that even in sleep, we are not alone.
G. Dreams are inspirations that prepare us for real-life challenges.

Last spring, I was waiting to hear from my editors about my second novel. I was so 41 that I
couldn't sleep or focus, 42 my phone for emails one hundred times an hour.
Then I saw an ad for a community 43 class. Not being able to write for weeks, I was 44 for
something to take my mind off my worries. So I signed up for it.
At the first class, the teacher asked us to draw a chrysanthemum(菊花). I was 45 confused by all
the shapes and angles and 46 to begin. I asked the teacher where I should start—— whether with the
47 part or the most complicated. She smiled.“There's no right way. Just start.”I realized how much I'd
been trapped by 48 , always wanting to be right.
I began to 49 every detail of the flower as my pencil moved across the paper. After two hours
flew by, my phone 50 , I completed a drawing, simple and even 51 in parts. Bad as it was, it
gave me the best feeling. I had entered what psychologists call a flow state: an experience where time
52 , attention deepens, and anxiety gives way to 53 .
I kept going back to the class. I drew not to be good, but to 54 —— to find focus and feel
creative. As my drawings grew more alive, I understood there is no good art without bad art, and my 55
is no different.

The airport announcement informed passengers that due to bad weather, the flight would be delayed
for two hours before boarding. Mary's mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined
everyone's mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼 ) a new song she had just
learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song
with them.
To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community.
She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her
mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker——a song about a girl and
her dreams:
“Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold,
Where the heart is never old,
Singing songs that never end,
In a world that's my best friend...”
Without thinking, Mary sang along——her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the
gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging.
Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking
stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her,“You just lifted all
our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that.
After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay—— at least another
45minutes. The cabin(机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints.
Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle(通道) to Mary's left, a tiny girl, barely three
years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—— rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—— but
nothing worked. The child's face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted
uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin.

Dear Alex,
I'm glad to hear about your idea of starting a video account on Chinese and Western food. I think
this topic will be quite popular because food is something everyone enjoys, and many people are
curious about dishes from different cultures. Your videos can help viewers learn more about cooking
styles and cultural traditions.
To make your channel more attractive, you could compare similar dishes from the East and the
West, share easy recipes, or show short clips of you trying new food. Adding interesting stories behind
the dishes will also catch viewers' attention.
I hope my advice helps. Looking forward to your first video！
Yours,
Li Hua

Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom. She asked if she could sing for the baby.
Mom smiled and nodded in agreement. Encouraged, Mary gently asked the mother if she could sing for
the baby. The mother, clearly exhausted after trying everything she could, nodded gratefully. Mary took
a deep breath and began to sing. Her voice was soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the
gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The song was simple yet engaging.
She sang of sunshine and dreams, which was easy to catch.
Slowly, the baby's cries softened. Her little body relaxed as Mary's gentle voice filled the air.The song
was simple, yet it seemed to weave a calming spell over the cabin. The baby stopping crying and the air
filled with comforting song, other passengers, who had been restless, began to quiet down, drawn into
the soothing melody. The mother's tense expression eased, and she gave Mary a grateful smile. As the
song reached its end, everyone clapped with cheers, which turned the boring and annoying delay into a
musical feast. Mary's mom leaned over and whispered, “You did it again, lifting all our spirits.”

W:I've completely changed my nightly routine.
M: Did you cut back on TV play series
W: Exactly. I still watch sports matches or movies sometimes, though I used to spend hours every night
watching series. But I didn't really gain anything.
M: So, how did you change
W: Now I've replaced series with documentaries. It's turned relaxation time into learning time.
M:I've never thought of that. I usually watch comedies for laughs, not learning.
W: Positive feelings matter too, especially if you share them with others. Still, mixing in something
informative helps. Here, this one explores ancient history and culture.
M: Great,I'd love to. Though those subjects sound closer to my interests than yours.
W: You' re right. I'm more into the environment, biology, and physics. But I want to find something
related to the subjects you love!

W: Before my recording team arrives, I'd love to gain a clearer idea of what your program is about.
That will help me ask better questions during our interview.
M: Great idea. Local government leaders launched this to make our school a place for everyone in the
community. As a teacher, I help connect people and create opportunities through the program.
W: Now, workers and parents come in the late afternoons and evenings. Do they take specialty night
classes related to their jobs
M: Of course! We expected business-plan writing to be most popular, but the surprise hits have been
both literature and professional skills. Most adults want a space to read novels and discuss them
together.
W: That's inspiring. And part of the exchange is that while adults study here, students volunteer and
learn at local workplaces. Is that right
M: Yes. For now, most students donate time at city hall and other public offices. Over time, we’ ll add
placements with businesses and even agriculture projects.
W: What a valuable way for students to meet decision-makers and build real connections.
M: Exactly. Beyond teaching career skills, we aim to act as a bridge between different local groups.

W: Thanks for coming to this art gallery opening. As you can see, all the art here has been painted and
created to represent and celebrate local natural beauty. We come from such a beautiful place,so it is
very important to realize how at risk it is. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, but to remind us how
much we love our planet and how important it is to protect what we love.
Here, you' ll see images of hills on fire, powerful typhoons, and rising floods. Within our coastal city,
the biggest danger is sea-level rise. Many local artists have painted our streets and train stations
underwater to show how real these risks are.
Before we open the room to guests, I want to share the origin of this show. The initial idea was not
fundraising or even climate messaging. We simply wanted to expand art classes in our community
centers. That modest goal grew into this exhibition as students, teachers, and neighbors offered their
talent, stories, and support.
Because of everyone of you, more workshops will launch next month. To thank you for helping us
reach this moment, I'd like to invite several of our lead supporters to say a few words about the student
program.
