My fingers trembled as I signcd thc pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on
my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I'm Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew
brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons,"Art feeds the soul but starves the body,"
Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads
Then came the school career fair that changed everything, Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard
asked us to list our "hidden skills". My hand shook as I wrote "observing details"- something I'd
learned from painting flower petals. "That's medical research's most needed skill!" she exclaimed
sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook ilustrations. My lab partner
whispered, "Remember our photosynthesis(光合作用) comic?" For the first time, my two worlds
didn't feel so separate
The real surprise came during hospital voluntcering, Watching surgeries, I noticed something-
the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to deseribe his
pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast."You madc medicine speak," the nurse said. Slowly
my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like
abstract paintings
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical
knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled "Medical llustration". He
showed me job listings I never knew existed一 graphic designers for science apps, 3D modclcrs for
anatomy(解剖) classes."Your 'impractical' skill makes you stand out," he said. pointing to my
dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once
hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach
young patients to draw their fcelings instead of describing them. My story isn't about heart and
reality canceling each other out- they just multiply possibilities
24. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1?
A. She had given up the hobby of drawing
B. She was excited about studying medicine
C. She felt torn between art and medical study.
D. She regreted not practicing painting earlier.
25. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora's "hidden skill" as
C. a distraction
A.aplis
B. aleisure
D. a burden
26. How did Lora's hospital experience influence her?
A. It helped develop her surgical skills.
B. It directed her toward doctor training
C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art's role in hcalthcare.
27. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Follow the beaten track to success.
B. A picture is worth a thousand words.
C. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
D. Two strings to your bow light the way

battle the effetsofclimae change. Driven by larming stimate that 6.6 milon eople in Asian
coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 207o, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice.
Italy, has released Floating City-a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters
while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions.
Each 25-acre unit houses 5o,ooo residents on interconnected platforms, with potential
expansion for 2oo,ooo and buildings are capped at 9o meters tall for stability. "Structures must be
flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves." explains architect Curci. To achieve this, seawater
resistant materials are given priority to, while hollow sections in platforms help them float.
Meanwhile, movable bridges are constructed to link these "water neighborhoods" to mainland
transport systems.
The project team also envisions a mix of rencwable energy sources extracting power from wind.
water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and
regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters.
Compared to building artificial islands, this method preserves 68% more marine (海洋) life
and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks. However, challenges persist
Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months, and emergency plans for
extreme weather are still under way. "This isn't about abandoning coasts but evolving with them.'
notes desigmer Tim Fu
While some question long-term possibility, the design redefines urban resilience. Unlike rigid
sea walls, these dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms, offering a blueprint for
climate solutions. "Cities must learn to dance with the waves," Curei says. This philosophy could
transform humanity's relationship with rising seas, turning threats into sustainable opportunities.
28. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design?
A. Energy crisis.
C. Tourism expansion.
B. Potential disasters.
29. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci's design?
D. Overerowded cities
A. Fictional and renewable.
C. Eco-friendly and immovable
B. Adaptable and innovative
30. A limitation of Luca Curci's design is that
D. Wave-resistant and conventional
A. it threatens marine life
C. it requires regular maintenance
B. it lacks clean energy options
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
D. it ignores coastal water changes
A. Occean Protection: Life under Threat
B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities
C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions
D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo

It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, musclcs tense, sensing danger
ncarby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you stillfeel afraid?
Experiences like this unveil a profound truth: our minds are not just products of the brain but
emerge from its constant dialogue with the body.
At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve (神经)-the body's longest nerve. It winds
its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and
receiving feelings from them. Much of the confusing range of functions it regulates are automatic
and operate without conscious control. These complex responses engage a group of neural
networks that link brain and body. The vagus nerve is. in one way of thinking, the conduit of the
mind.
The primary function of the vagus nerve is to dampen the body's responses. After a fear
episode, for example, the body's powerful, life-saving threat response must be ended to restore
resting heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and the rest. So powerful is its influence that the vagus
nerve can literally stop the beating heart. Conversely, it can also stimulate bodily responses by
releasing the brakes to accelerate.
The vagus nerve is the biological basis for many new therapies(疗法) worldwide. However
some people have taken the vagus nerve's wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage
in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy -physical or breathing
exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve -is proposed to address just about any disorder of
the mind or body. There's little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort.
The vagus nerve doesn't need to be a cure for everything - it's worth appreciating all on its
own. Neuroscientists compare the vagus to an orchestra conductor, harmonizing bodily systems to
compose our conscious experience. Professor Linda Rinaman once said, "We're not just brains in
jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood."
32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By sharing a story.
B. By creating a scene.
C. By asking a question.
D. By defining a concept
33. What does the underlined word "conduit" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Channel.
B. Product.
C. Mirror.
D. Nature.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The popularity ofa biological treatment.
1. B. The effectiveness of breathing exercises.
C. The misuse of unproven nerve therapies. D. The evidence of vagus nerve's finctions.
35. What do L.inda Rinaman's words imply?
A. Blood circulation determines our emotions.
B. Physical health is unrelated to mental states.
C. Body and mind interact to form experiences
D. Our brain stores feelings separate from body

The path to healthy weight combines two key elements. Exercise and eating habits form its
foundation. Some believe they demand lots of effort or planning. But that's not true. In fact, the
best way to work them into our lives is bv making small changes that gradually become part of ou
routine. 36
Regular Exercise
Teens should get 6o+ minutes of daily physical activity. 37 Allthat maters is that each
week you get the right balance of activity, including dancing, brisk walking, or stair-climbing
Breaking workouts into 15-minute "exercise snacks" (e.g., morning yoga, lunchtime walks)
throughout the day makes goals more achievable. This strategy avoids burnout while keeping
energy steady.
Good Eating Habits
38 Actually, crash diets cause weight rebounds. A 2o22 study found 8o% of teens
regained weight post-diet. Therefore, teens should eat a variety of foods, and there's nothing
wrong with the occasional treat. A candy bar somehow beats snapping daily.
To build lasting habits, reshape your mindset. 39 When stressed, try brief walks rather
than reaching for snacks. Track weekly progress with a checklist - small achievements boos
motivation strongly
In conclusion, creatively design routines blending exercise and nutrition in your own
way. 4o While others choose gym workouts, you might prefer playing Frisbee with your dog
Knowing what's right for you will make it a lot easier to do!
A. You're all different after all
B. Independence matters in habit-building
C. View food as fuel. not emotional comfort.
D. Low-calorie diets ensure steady weight loss.
E. Eating well doesn't mean dieting over and over
F. It doesn't mean doing tough exercises or hitting the gym.
G. Here's how to make these other healthy habits just as easy.

The old workshop door creaked open. Clara walked in quietly, Her shoes stepped on wood
shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone
on Grandfather's rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg.

The wall calendar stillshowed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, ust like dry leaves.
An open order book lay on the desk. Fcbruary's page was empty. There had been no new orders
since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on
his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. "This might help him," she thought, eager
to show how skilled he was.
However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. "Old ways for a
dying business!""No wonder the business is failing!" Saddened, Clara delcted the video quickly. A
spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted
handmade things these days.
“Want to see my treasure?" Grandpa's voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album
filled with pencil sketches(草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A
faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding
curved(弯曲的) spoon proudly.
"Timmy, my former student," Grandfather smiled. touching the curve of the spoon in the
photo. "Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month's newspaper had an article about his
curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon." He tapped the photo, adding, "Machines make
things fast. but hands remcmber stories."
Clara looked at the photo - the curved spoon, Timmy's smile, and Grandpa's young
handwriting on the back: Timmy's first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining
“Stories must be told." Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share
not just the work, but the story behind it
