Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to build the model. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building's floor, our conversation too took a turn We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again. Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived. and I. in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling(组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we're in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result. Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it. 第3页共8页 24. Which can best describe the author's experience of building the Lego model? A. Simple and uninteresting. B. Imaginative and enjoyable. C. Complicated and rewarding D. Challenging and discouraging 25. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model? A. Life reguires to be planned carefully B. Life doesn't come with clear guidance C. Mistakes in life can always be corrected D. Life's uncertainty makes it more exciting 26. How does the author suggest we deal with uncertainty in life? A. By avoiding making any choice B. By focusing on instant end results C. By seeking instructions from others D. By moving forward with confidence 27. What does the completed Lego model mean to the author? A. The value of hard work in life. B. The achievement of life goals C. The journey of living one's life D. The joy of staying with families C In this period of anxiety about the size of our waists and what we consume, simple dietary rules are appealing."Eat like our ancestors"is a particularly catchy slogan (口号) to live by But who are these ancestors we are supposed to follow? Are they our great-great-grandparents cooking healthy things? Or are they hairy animals we imagine "cavemen" to be? The popular ancient diet blames modern health problems on the birth of agriculture, claiming that we should stick to eating meat nuts and berries. This kind of stone age trend is based on the false assumption that palaeolithic (l旧石器时代的) peoples all ate the same food, regardless of their location. Nevertheless, England's 9,ooo-year-old Cheddar Man would not have eaten the same foods as his contemporaries on the Kenyan plain. The amount of meat peoples ate, and how much was obtained by hunting, are also up for debate. Moreover, the stone age trend is focused on what's perceived to be good for our bodies, without any concern for the rest of nature, including other humans whose livelihoods are threatened by western over-consumption. Were I to eat like my Punjabi farming great-grandparents, my diet would be based on the wheat and milk products that people in the Punjab have relied on for probably at least the last two thousand years. But delicious and "original" as it might be for me to follow its lead, the morals of industrially farmed milk products in the 2Ist century make the situation more confusing and complicated Now, probably more than ever before, what we eat connects us to the fate of other beings, human and non-human, and to the fate of our planet. A dogmatic (武断的) approach to this would be a mistake. Better to preserve what's worth keeping and remain clear-eyed about our cooking past, much of which is unknowable, immoral and impossible to follow in any case. 28. What does the text concern? A. An ancient study B. An immoral case C. A balanced diet. D. A popular belief 29. Why does the author mention Cheddar Man in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate an opinion B. To present a fact C. To clarify a concept D. To introduce a theory 30. What does the author focus on in paragraph 4? A. The eating behavior of our great-grandparents. B. The complexity of following ancestral diets in modern times C. The impact of food over-consumption on the environment. D. The comparison between ancient and modern farming practices 第4页共8页 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Punjabi diet: popular again B. Should we eat like our ancestors? C. Is the fate of the planet in our hands? D. Our cooking past: a complieated history D Animals hibernate(冬眠) to conserve energy during cold weather or when food becomes scarce slowing their heart rate and dropping their body temperature to as low as 5'C. This is only survivable if their blood continues to flow efficiently and supply oxygen to the body. We already know that red blood cells change shape to fit different pressures and blood vessel sizes. To investigate if something like this happens in the cells of hibernating animals to keep blood flowing, Gerald Kerth at the University of Greifswald in Germany and his colleagues turned to bats. They analyzed hundreds of thousands of red blood cells from common noctule bats, which hibernate and Egyptian fruit bats, which don't. along with cells from people. The researchers found that for all three species, red blood cells became less flexible and stickier as temperatures dropped from 37C to 23'C. But when they cooled the cells even further to 1oC. the bat cells continued this metamorphosis, whereas the human cells did not Indeed, the bat cells - even those of non-hibernating bats, which probably maintained the evolutionary capacity - continued to become thick, stiff and functional even at very low temperatures This might be slowing down the cells as they pass through the tiny vessels in the muscles and lungs making them highly efficient at exchanging gases, like oxygen, throughout the body. "It is like how when you take your time at the supermarket instead of being rushed, you can really fill up your basket," says Kerth. Exactly how this structural change happens is still unclear, but the team guesses that the mechanical properties of the bat red blood cell membranes (细胞膜) play a key role. The findings suggest that drugs could one day include human red blood cell membranes to imitate the way bat membranes react to the cold, says Kerth. In the more distant future, hibernation could also allow for efficient long-distance space travel, requiring minimal food and other resources while preserving mental health during the journey. "There are benefits of putting humans at low temperature during space flight," says Kerth. 32. What did Gerald Kerth's study focus on? A. Blood fiow B. Blood vessel sizes. C. Red blood cells D. Different pressures. 33. What does the underlined word "metamorphosis" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Change B. Growth. C. Damage. D. Movement. 34. Why does Kerth mention shopping at a supermarket? A. To prove the evolutionary capacity of bats. B. To show the role of red blood cell membranes C. To indicate how the structural change happens. D. To illustrate the efficiency of exchanging gases 35. How will hibernation help long-space travel? A. By offering astronauts resources. B. By speeding up astronauts' travel C. By reducing resource consumption D. By maintaining astronauts' overall health 第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 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。 Are you struggling with low self-esteem(自 尊)? If so, you may have been told to repeat phrases such as "I'm a lovable person". 36_However, when psychologists tested the effects of such positive 第5页共8页 self-talk, they found 'toxic positivity"- the phenomenon that a forced optimistic. interpretation of our experiences alongside the bottling up(抑) of negative emotions can do real damage. 37_ Beginning in the industrial revolution, socioeconomic goals around productivity and efficiency contributed to a culture where emotions, especially paralyzing ones like sadness, were seen as handbrakes(手刹) to economic output. If someone was struggling, they were advised to have more faith rather than encouraged to explore the root causes. Science also takes some blame. Historically psychologists didn't consider emotions as justified phenomena to study, so there was little understanding of their significant impact on mental health It isn't surprising that we want to believe things will turn out better if we have positive attitude. Afte all. there is a growing body of research indicating that an optimistic outlook on life does have benefits, such as promoting physical health, boosting energy, and reducing stress. It also isn't surprising that we label certain emotions, like anger, guilt, fear, and bitterness, as bad because they do feel unpleasant. 38__ Nevertheless. it is becoming apparent that positivity has its limits. In 2021, a meta-analysis with more than 217. ooo participants investigated the link between optimism, pessimism and mortality. It found that an optimistic outlook was indeed associated with the lower risk of death, however, both unrealistic optimism and pessimism were linked to a higher risk of death. _ 39__ How can we escape toxic positivity? Susan Davis from Harvard Medical School emphasizes the importance of allowing ourselves to sit with uncomfortable emotions. 40_ The key to managing emotions does not lie in judging oneself for feeling negative emotions, but simply experiencing them. knowing that they will pass. A. We need to accept them as a normal part of human experience. B. Our tendency to avoid the darker aspects of human experience isn't new. C. When we experience them, we can become consumed, disturbed or inactive. D. Neglecting negative emotions is also found to be harmful to our mental health E. They urge us to inject a bit of positive emotion into our day to gain the benefits F. Positive repeated words like this are set to boost a person's mood and feelings of self-worth G. We are more likely to perceive normal emotions as mental problems needing treatment. 第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) Shaine Kilyun was scrolling through videos on her phone one night in December 2024.

I appreciate you sharing this information. We'll see what we can do about the situation. Thank you for calling. Goodbye." Miss Beisner was my first-grade teacher, and I loved her. I thought she felt the same about me, but now I was beginning to wonder. The tone of Dad's voice, the redness in his cheeks, and his repeated clenching and unclenching of fists made it pretty clear. This was not a warm and fuzzy good -news-from-the-teacher call. As I was deciding whether I should lock myself in my bedroom for the rest of my life or run away from home, Dad hung up the phone, "Jacquie, come here and sit down. We need to talk." Uh-oh. When Dad said, "We need to talk." it meant he needed to talk, and I needed to listen I shuffled (拖着脚走) over to the well-worn brown chair in the corner of the living room, plopped down, and waited to hear the nature of my crime Dad told me that Miss Beisner thought I was bright but not working up to my ability. She said I had strong verbal skills but weak study habits. Translation: I never closed my mouth, and I seldom opened a book. Apparently, my failure to memorize the addition facts, or even attempt to, was more than she was willing to put up with. Hence, the telephone call Dad ended our one-way conversation with a verbal outline for his plan of attack. Bubbles, our Toy Manchester Terrier, was going to teach me math. Silently, I thought, No way is any dumb dog going to teach me how to add, not even our beloved Bubbles. Out loud, I said. "How?" Dad summoned Bubbles from her bed near the stove and commanded her to sit. "Bubbles," Dad said "how much is five plus three?" Bubbles let out eight loud, crisp barks I was incredulous (满腹狐疑的). I couldn't understand how a dog could add, and I was more than a little embarrassed by the fact that the family dog was smarter than me 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Paragraph I: After that, I threw myself into math with newfound determination Paragraph 2: One day, I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add 第8页共8页
