Swim shorts, cold fjords (峡湾) and hot water bottles-Lewis Pugh’s approach to climate campaigning is far from conventional. The Ilulissat glacier carves icebergs that are over a kilometre tall including, legend has it, the one that sunk the Titanic. As well as feeding legends, it feeds the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland, and it’s across the mouth of this fjord that Lewis Pugh completed an extremely tiring swim in September, in an attempt to bring about meaningful action on the climate crisis.
Pugh, an endurance swimmer and UN sponsor of the oceans, completed the 7.8km swim on 7 September. Over 12 days, he faced water temperatures of between 0 and 3 degrees. His attempt was hampered (阻碍) by icebergs and ice, which blocked the mouth of the fjord.
“It feels like running across a motorway, except that instead of dodging cars, I’m in 0℃ water dodging icebergs,” he posted on social media. Wearing only speedos (a swimming suit brand), he had to monitor his body temperature constantly due to the risk of hypothermia (低温症).
It made Pugh, who was born in Plymouth, the first person to complete a multi-day swim in the Polar regions. He used hot water bottles and hot chocolate to warm up after a period of time in the water, and described the swim as the most challenging of his career.
“We rely on ice for our survival,” he said. “Ice keeps our planet cool enough for us to live. But we are losing it fast. No ice, no life.”
“We have seen so many natural disasters this year-from wildfires in Greece to foods in Germany, extreme snowstorms in Texas. But I also want everyone to be aware of what is happening here in the Arctic.”
Pugh will visit the COP26 conference in November to call for 30 per cent of the world’s oceans to be safeguarded as marine protected areas by 2030. His approach has been described as “speedo diplomacy”.
4. Why does the author mention “Ilulissat glacier” in the first paragraph?
A. To stress the extreme challenge of Pugh’s swim. B. To show the urgent need for Arctic protection.
C. To recall the historical sinking of Titanic. D. To describe the dramatic landscape of Greenland.
5. What does the underlined word “dodging” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Following. B. Passing. C. Avoiding. D. Ignoring.
6. Which of the following can best describe Lewis Pugh?
A. Outgoing. B. Persistent. C. Demanding. D. Stubborn.
7. What does “speedo diplomacy” probably refer to?
A. Advocating extreme sports via social media.
B. Preventing natural disasters with joint efforts
C. Promoting environmental policies by swimming.
D. Establishing a marine protected area through negotiation.
C
A desire for offline community and connection is fuelling a resurgence (复兴) of interest in book clubs in the UK. Move over, Netflix-there’s a novel favourite pastime in town.
“The rise of book clubs is a testament to our longing for deeper connections,” says Holly Cooke, founder of The Lonely Girls Club.
Across the UK, book clubs are experiencing a comeback. Eventbrite reported a 350% increase in book club listings over the past four years, with more than 127,000 attendees getting together over their shared love of the written word. Meetup revealed that “book club” has surged back into the top 10 most searched events, reclaiming its popularity after a dip in 2021.
The resurgence of book clubs is more than just a statistical anomaly (反常). Many believe it’s a cultural phenomenon.
“I discovered the book club on Eventbrite in 2021, as things were starting to open up following the Covid-19 lockdowns,” says Marta Kizym, a regular attendee. “I loved it because we were all just relaxing at home, but what I really cherish is meeting new people and forming genuine connections. I’ve made many close friends through the book club, people I can truly be myself with.”
In an era of digital overload, book clubs also provide a welcome digital detox. After spending lockdown glued to screens, people are finding comfort in physical books and in-person discussions. “People don’t want to be on their phones any more,” shares Cooke. “They’re trying to get away from technology in a variety of different ways.”
Laura Menendez, another book club goer, adds: “For me, it’s the feeling of being welcome in a non-consuming space that circles around community. It’s one of the few things you can do nowadays that don’t involve spending money or consuming anything. It has restored my belief in the value of community and diversity in communities.”
Obviously, book clubs are proving that the age-old tradition of reading together is far from out-dated. The signs are, it’s never been more relevant.
8. Why does the author include numbers in paragraph 3?
A. To contrast book clubs with online entertainment.
B. To dismiss the trend as a temporary phenomenon.
C. To emphasize the renewed popularity of book clubs.
D. To demonstrate the economic profitability of book clubs.
9. What do we know about the book clubs from paragraph 6?
A. They help reduce screen time through offline activities.
B. They make criticism of modern technology use.
C. They lose appeal with the popularity of digital reading.
D. They require members to use digital devices for club activities.
10. What can be inferred about the book clubs from Laura Menendez’s words?
A. They focus more on social interaction than reading.
B. They primarily attract people who dislike consumption.
C. They encourage authentic friendships beyond community.
D. They offer a community independent of consumerism.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards reading together?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious.
D
Did you make any resolutions this new year? If you did, are you keeping to them? Well done if you are. A survey in America suggests half of new-year resolvers give up by the end of March. More scientific studies confirm that it takes months for a new behaviour to stick.
Habitual behaviour emerges in response to dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure. Two brain systems are involved. One, in the basal ganglia (基底核), responds automatically to certain stimuli. For example, your morning alarm is a stimulus that activates your “getting up” habit. This will include sub-habits such as “shower”, “get dressed’’, “drive to office”, each with their own triggering stimuli and dopamine reward. The other brain system, which is goal-directed, is located in the cortex (大脑皮层). Its dopamine reward comes from a deliberate action being successfully performed. This goal-directed system can override the stimulus-response one. For example, if the radio tells you of a traffic problem, the “drive to office” sub-routine will need conscious adaptation. For one-time adaptations of habits, this arrangement of routine and override works well. But permanent changes, such as breaking an old habit requires weakening the stimulus-driven system to reduce the relevance of old stimuli and strengthening the goal-directed one to increase that of new ones.
In a paper published recently, Eike Buabang and his colleagues at Trinity College review the evidence behind various ways. In practice, most approaches seem to operate on the stimulus-response side. Deliberate repetition trains the brain so that what was once goal-directed becomes automatic. In the case of driving to work, the reward to do this is strong—you won’t get paid otherwise.
Why people learn bad habits in the first place remains mysterious. Most habits form precisely because they are helpful. Automatic behaviours, such as those involved in a morning routine, reduce cognitive load and free mental resources for other tasks, such as working out what to say in the ten-o’clock meeting. But these mechanisms can be disrupted. The nicotine taken in by smoking tobacco — a type of habit so powerful that it has a special name, “addiction” stimulates dopamine production directly. This is something natural selection could not have foreseen. Non-addictive habits like procrastination are harder to explain.
In the end, though, when it comes to habit-formation, the old joke gives us the solution: “How many psychoanalysts (精神分析学家) does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light bulb has to really want to change.”
12. What do we know about habit formation according to paragraph 2?
A. Dopamine rewards are only produced by goal-directed behaviors.
B. Habit building system needs restructuring for a permanent change.
C. The goal-directed system cooperates with the stimulus-response one.
D. The stimulus-driven system requires conscious effort to activate habits.
13. What enables the goal-directed system to become automatic?
A. Repeated practice. B. Frequent overrides.
C. Reduced mental load. D. One-time adaptations.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The force behind nicotine addiction. B. The benefits of building good habits.
C. The complexity of forming bad habits. D. The value of foreseeing natural selection.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Old habits die hard B. Habit is what keeps you going
C. Let’s make the right resolutions D. It takes resolution to keep resolutions
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。
A couple of years ago, my wife bought my four-year-old son a set of wooden ramps (坡道) that could be combined with furniture to create courses for little balls to run through. The first course was easy to build. ____16____ Could we make the balls turn corners or go uphill? Would the piano bench support a ramp? The possibilities seemed endless. Over the next two years, we kept adjusting and adding elements to our courses. By the time my son lost interest, we had become experts, seeing ramp potential in almost anything.
I hadn’t expected to enjoy the ramps so much. ____17____ This is a form of effortful repetition. In many areas of life, we repeat tasks to perfect them. This is repetition in pursuit of an ideal.
____18____ It allows for exploration and discovery. For instance, when cooking, you can adjust ingredients over time, developing your cooking talent. In music, you can vary your performance, creating new compositions. Repainting a landscape can reveal new artistic opportunities. In these cases, repetition leads to an expanding set of possibilities, not a fixed endpoint
We’re used to exploring things ourselves, but as artificial intelligence advances, it can relieve us of the burden of trying again. AI systems can generate new versions of existing things, such as custom recipes based on a photo or multiple versions of a song or image. This raises key questions: Can automated exploration replace human creativity? Is this variation the same as human creativity? ____19____
It feels strange to imagine that soon we may need to remind ourselves to think. AI thinks for us and promises to do the thinking in many contexts. In a world dominated by technology, we already have to remind ourselves to disconnect, go outside, and have non-technological experiences. If we’re not careful, our minds will do less as computers do more. ____20____
A. But as our ambitions grew, so did the challenges.
B. And we may never be able to enjoy another ramp ever again.
C. How come this man-made technology outperforms our brain?
D. There’s also another kind of repetition that combines variation.
E. It’s hard for us to decide whether to be the passengers or pilots of our lives.
F. But they turned out to be a special experience of trying, failing and trying again.
G. As AI improves, we may be tempted to let it take over the process of exploration.

When I started my own technology writing business, it began well — I landed my first contract, though I wondered if it was too good to be true. Unfortunately, the third month’s check never arrived, and I never heard from the ____21____ again, despite multiple emails. With no ____22____ in sight, I hit rock bottom. Panic replaced ____23____ optimism. I stopped answering phones and ____24____ myself in my room.
One night, a high school friend called. Though the ____25____ thing I wanted to do was admit my failure, I answered in the hope of a ____26____ voice. I listed my problems, but she quickly shut down my self-pity. I was too stunned to return her fire, so I just ____27____.
“What is wrong with you? You are a writer, so start writing for magazines.” she shouted. When I mentioned I was ____28____ about what to write, or even where to submit, she snapped, “____29____ the problem! You always got us out of trouble back then-now do the same for yourself.” The memory had _____30_____ my mind, but she was right about it.
Still, I was somewhat _____31_____ and thought for a minute about crossing her off my list. I thought, what is wrong with her? That’s the _____32_____ I get for all the support I’ve given her over the years?
With nowhere else to turn, I searched online for magazines accepting _____33_____ by email. I found one, wrote an article and sent it off - mostly to prove my friend wrong. To my surprise, the editor accepted it-and it made the _____34_____!
That small win changed something in me. If not for her _____35_____ love, I might not have learned life’s important lesson: What was wrong with me was me.
21 A. check B. partner C. project D. client
22. A. connections B. views C. prospects D. benefits
23. A. extreme B. cautious C. newfound D. quiet
24. A. locked B. invested C. cheered D. pushed

In recent decades, Made in China has undergone a remarkable transformation. No longer ____36____ (associate) only with inexpensive goods, the phrase now symbolizes innovation, precision and global influence.

As Chinese manufacturing moves from imitation to innovation, its products are gaining ____44____ (recognize) for quality and reliability. Experts believe China could soon play a key role in shaping global industrial standards. ____45____, challenges such as trade tensions, supply chain issues, and environmental concerns still exist. But if the current pace continues, Made in China may soon stand for not just mass production, but world-class excellence and sustainable development.

47. 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。
Two days before New Year’s Eve the world outside Kelly’s home was blanketed in a quiet frost. Twinkling lights hung from the roof, and the house smelled like cinnamon and pine. The day had unfolded like any other holiday afternoon-grocery delivery, a bit of tidying, and a spontaneous gesture of generosity. When she tipped her Uber delivery driver an extra $130 through the app, Kelly felt a quiet joy, imagining how it might brighten someone’s day. She gave it no further thought.
Until the next evening.
It was just after dusk when her doorbell rang. Startled (受惊), Kelly glanced at her phone and tapped the Ring camera app. There, bundled in a thick jacket and shifting nervously on her feet, stood the same delivery woman from two days before. Her cheeks were tinged pink from the cold, and her eyes carried a restless intensity. She cleared her throat.
“Hi,” the woman began, her voice tentative but urgent. “I am so sorry to bother you. I’m not a psycho, I swear. I’m with Uber.”
Kelly blinked in confusion. The woman gave a tight smile and gestured toward the house with gloved hands, her breath misting in the air.
“I delivered your groceries the other day. I... I think you were overcharged,” she said quickly. “I got a $130 tip and — I just — I didn’t sleep last night. I kept thinking maybe it was a mistake or your card got hacked (被侵入) or something.”
Her voice trembled, part from the cold and part from the weight of anxiety she had clearly carried all night. She rocked on her heels, as though fighting the urge to flee. “I didn’t know how else to find you but to come back. I just — I didn’t want it to affect your account.”
Kelly stepped outside, a mix of surprise and warmth sweeping over her. “You got the money?” she asked.
The woman nodded. “Yeah. I received it. But I wasn’t sure if it was meant for me or not.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“It was for you,” Kelly said with a smile, her voice softening.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Ring camera recording everything, Kelly decided to do one more thing.

Swim shorts, cold fjords (峡湾) and hot water bottles-Lewis Pugh’s approach to climate campaigning is far from conventional. The Ilulissat glacier carves icebergs that are over a kilometre tall including, legend has it, the one that sunk the Titanic. As well as feeding legends, it feeds the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland, and it’s across the mouth of this fjord that Lewis Pugh completed an extremely tiring swim in September, in an attempt to bring about meaningful action on the climate crisis.
Pugh, an endurance swimmer and UN sponsor of the oceans, completed the 7.8km swim on 7 September. Over 12 days, he faced water temperatures of between 0 and 3 degrees. His attempt was hampered (阻碍) by icebergs and ice, which blocked the mouth of the fjord.
“It feels like running across a motorway, except that instead of dodging cars, I’m in 0℃ water dodging icebergs,” he posted on social media. Wearing only speedos (a swimming suit brand), he had to monitor his body temperature constantly due to the risk of hypothermia (低温症).
It made Pugh, who was born in Plymouth, the first person to complete a multi-day swim in the Polar regions. He used hot water bottles and hot chocolate to warm up after a period of time in the water, and described the swim as the most challenging of his career.
“We rely on ice for our survival,” he said. “Ice keeps our planet cool enough for us to live. But we are losing it fast. No ice, no life.”
“We have seen so many natural disasters this year-from wildfires in Greece to foods in Germany, extreme snowstorms in Texas. But I also want everyone to be aware of what is happening here in the Arctic.”
Pugh will visit the COP26 conference in November to call for 30 per cent of the world’s oceans to be safeguarded as marine protected areas by 2030. His approach has been described as “speedo diplomacy”.
4. Why does the author mention “Ilulissat glacier” in the first paragraph?
A. To stress the extreme challenge of Pugh’s swim. B. To show the urgent need for Arctic protection.
C. To recall the historical sinking of Titanic. D. To describe the dramatic landscape of Greenland.
5. What does the underlined word “dodging” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Following. B. Passing. C. Avoiding. D. Ignoring.
6. Which of the following can best describe Lewis Pugh?
A. Outgoing. B. Persistent. C. Demanding. D. Stubborn.
7. What does “speedo diplomacy” probably refer to?
A. Advocating extreme sports via social media.
B. Preventing natural disasters with joint efforts
C. Promoting environmental policies by swimming.
D. Establishing a marine protected area through negotiation.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了Lewis Pugh九月在格陵兰伊卢利萨特冰峡湾完成7.8公里游泳,以呼吁应对气候危机并推动海洋保护。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Swim shorts, cold fjords (峡湾) and hot water bottles-Lewis Pugh’s approach to climate campaigning is far from conventional. The Ilulissat glacier carves icebergs that are over a kilometre tall including, legend has it, the one that sunk the Titanic. As well as feeding legends, it feeds the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland, and it’s across the mouth of this fjord that Lewis Pugh completed an extremely tiring swim in September, in an attempt to bring about meaningful action on the climate crisis.(泳裤、冰冷的峡湾以及热水袋——莱斯利·普格在气候保护方面的行动方式绝非传统之举。伊卢利萨特冰川会形成高达一公里的冰山,据说其中就有那座导致泰坦尼克号沉没的冰山。它不仅孕育了诸多传奇故事,还滋养了格陵兰岛的伊卢利萨特冰峡湾。而在这个峡湾的入口处,莱斯利·普格于九月完成了一次极其艰苦的游泳,旨在推动针对气候危机采取有意义的行动)”可知,作者在第一段中提及“伊卢利萨特冰川”是为了强调普格游泳所面临的巨大挑战。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It feels like running across a motorway, except that instead of(感觉就像在高速公路上奔跑一样,只不过不是……)”以及后文“I’m in 0℃ water dodging icebergs (而是在零摄氏度的水中躲避冰山)”可知,他在水里就像在高速公路上奔跑,需要躲避汽车一样,只不过他需要躲避的是冰山。故划线词意思是“避免”。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Pugh, an endurance swimmer and UN sponsor of the oceans, completed the 7.8km swim on 7 September. Over 12 days, he faced water temperatures of between 0 and 3 degrees. His attempt was hampered (阻碍) by icebergs and ice, which blocked the mouth of the fjord.(普格是一位耐力游泳运动员,也是联合国海洋事务的赞助人。他于 9 月 7 日完成了 7.8 公里的游泳比赛。在 12 天的时间里,他所面对的水温在 0 到 3 摄氏度之间。他的尝试受到了冰山和冰块的阻碍,这些冰块阻塞了峡湾的入口)”可知,利沃斯·普格的特点是坚韧不拔。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Pugh will visit the COP26 conference in November to call for 30 per cent of the world’s oceans to be safeguarded as marine protected areas by 2030. His approach has been described as “speedo diplomacy”.( Pugh将于 11 月出席 COP26 大会,呼吁到 2030 年将全球 30%的海洋区域划定为海洋保护区。他的这一做法被形容为“速度型外交”)”可知,Pugh通过穿泳裤在极地游泳的行为,呼吁关注气候变化并推动海洋保护政策(如 2030 年保护 30% 海洋),本质是以游泳为手段的环保行动。即“速度外交”这个词大概指的是通过游泳来推行环保政策。故选C。
C
A desire for offline community and connection is fuelling a resurgence (复兴) of interest in book clubs in the UK. Move over, Netflix-there’s a novel favourite pastime in town.
“The rise of book clubs is a testament to our longing for deeper connections,” says Holly Cooke, founder of The Lonely Girls Club.
Across the UK, book clubs are experiencing a comeback. Eventbrite reported a 350% increase in book club listings over the past four years, with more than 127,000 attendees getting together over their shared love of the written word. Meetup revealed that “book club” has surged back into the top 10 most searched events, reclaiming its popularity after a dip in 2021.
The resurgence of book clubs is more than just a statistical anomaly (反常). Many believe it’s a cultural phenomenon.
“I discovered the book club on Eventbrite in 2021, as things were starting to open up following the Covid-19 lockdowns,” says Marta Kizym, a regular attendee. “I loved it because we were all just relaxing at home, but what I really cherish is meeting new people and forming genuine connections. I’ve made many close friends through the book club, people I can truly be myself with.”
In an era of digital overload, book clubs also provide a welcome digital detox. After spending lockdown glued to screens, people are finding comfort in physical books and in-person discussions. “People don’t want to be on their phones any more,” shares Cooke. “They’re trying to get away from technology in a variety of different ways.”
Laura Menendez, another book club goer, adds: “For me, it’s the feeling of being welcome in a non-consuming space that circles around community. It’s one of the few things you can do nowadays that don’t involve spending money or consuming anything. It has restored my belief in the value of community and diversity in communities.”
Obviously, book clubs are proving that the age-old tradition of reading together is far from out-dated. The signs are, it’s never been more relevant.
8. Why does the author include numbers in paragraph 3?
A. To contrast book clubs with online entertainment.
B. To dismiss the trend as a temporary phenomenon.
C. To emphasize the renewed popularity of book clubs.
D. To demonstrate the economic profitability of book clubs.
9. What do we know about the book clubs from paragraph 6?
A. They help reduce screen time through offline activities.
B. They make criticism of modern technology use.
C. They lose appeal with the popularity of digital reading.
D. They require members to use digital devices for club activities.
10. What can be inferred about the book clubs from Laura Menendez’s words?
A. They focus more on social interaction than reading.
B. They primarily attract people who dislike consumption.
C. They encourage authentic friendships beyond community.
D. They offer a community independent of consumerism.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards reading together?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在英国,由于人们对线下社区和联系的渴望,读书俱乐部正重新兴起,成为一种受欢迎的消遣方式,它为人们提供了在数字时代中难得的线下交流和数字排毒的机会。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Across the UK, book clubs are experiencing a comeback. Eventbrite reported a 350% increase in book club listings over the past four years, with more than 127,000 attendees getting together over their shared love of the written word. Meetup revealed that “book club” has surged back into the top 10 most searched events, reclaiming its popularity after a dip in 2021.(在整个英国,读书俱乐部正在卷土重来。Eventbrite报告称,过去四年里,读书俱乐部的列表数量增加了350%,有超过12.7万名参与者因为对文字的共同热爱而聚集在一起。Meetup透露,“读书俱乐部”已经重新跻身搜索量最高的十大活动之列,在2021年人气下滑后,它又重新获得了人们的青睐)”可推知,作者在第三段中引入数字是为了强调读书俱乐部重新流行起来的情况。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段中的“In an era of digital overload, book clubs also provide a welcome digital detox. After spending lockdown glued to screens, people are finding comfort in physical books and in-person discussions.(在数字过载的时代,读书俱乐部也提供了一个受欢迎的数字排毒机会。在经历了长时间的封锁并紧盯着屏幕后,人们从实体书和面对面的讨论中找到了安慰)”可知,读书俱乐部通过线下活动帮助人们减少屏幕时间。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Laura Menendez, another book club goer, adds: “For me, it’s the feeling of being welcome in a non-consuming space that circles around community. It’s one of the few things you can do nowadays that don’t involve spending money or consuming anything. It has restored my belief in the value of community and diversity in communities.”(另一位读书俱乐部的参与者Laura Menendez补充道:“对我来说,这是一种在围绕社区的非消费空间中受到欢迎的感觉。这是你现在能做的为数不多的几件事之一,既不需要花钱,也不需要消费任何东西。它让我重新相信了社区的价值和社区中的多样性。”)”可推知,Laura Menendez认为读书俱乐部提供了一个不涉及消费的社区空间,这表明读书俱乐部提供了一个独立于消费主义的社区。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Obviously, book clubs are proving that the age-old tradition of reading together is far from out-dated. The signs are, it’s never been more relevant.(显然,读书俱乐部正在证明,一起阅读的古老传统远未过时。种种迹象表明,它从未像现在这样重要过)”可知,作者认为读书俱乐部正在证明一起阅读的古老传统远未过时,且它从未像现在这样重要过。由此推知,作者对一起阅读持乐观态度。故选B项。

Did you make any resolutions this new year? If you did, are you keeping to them? Well done if you are. A survey in America suggests half of new-year resolvers give up by the end of March. More scientific studies confirm that it takes months for a new behaviour to stick.
Habitual behaviour emerges in response to dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure. Two brain systems are involved. One, in the basal ganglia (基底核), responds automatically to certain stimuli. For example, your morning alarm is a stimulus that activates your “getting up” habit. This will include sub-habits such as “shower”, “get dressed’’, “drive to office”, each with their own triggering stimuli and dopamine reward. The other brain system, which is goal-directed, is located in the cortex (大脑皮层). Its dopamine reward comes from a deliberate action being successfully performed. This goal-directed system can override the stimulus-response one. For example, if the radio tells you of a traffic problem, the “drive to office” sub-routine will need conscious adaptation. For one-time adaptations of habits, this arrangement of routine and override works well. But permanent changes, such as breaking an old habit requires weakening the stimulus-driven system to reduce the relevance of old stimuli and strengthening the goal-directed one to increase that of new ones.
In a paper published recently, Eike Buabang and his colleagues at Trinity College review the evidence behind various ways. In practice, most approaches seem to operate on the stimulus-response side. Deliberate repetition trains the brain so that what was once goal-directed becomes automatic. In the case of driving to work, the reward to do this is strong—you won’t get paid otherwise.
Why people learn bad habits in the first place remains mysterious. Most habits form precisely because they are helpful. Automatic behaviours, such as those involved in a morning routine, reduce cognitive load and free mental resources for other tasks, such as working out what to say in the ten-o’clock meeting. But these mechanisms can be disrupted. The nicotine taken in by smoking tobacco — a type of habit so powerful that it has a special name, “addiction” stimulates dopamine production directly. This is something natural selection could not have foreseen. Non-addictive habits like procrastination are harder to explain.
In the end, though, when it comes to habit-formation, the old joke gives us the solution: “How many psychoanalysts (精神分析学家) does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light bulb has to really want to change.”
12. What do we know about habit formation according to paragraph 2?
A. Dopamine rewards are only produced by goal-directed behaviors.
B. Habit building system needs restructuring for a permanent change.
C. The goal-directed system cooperates with the stimulus-response one.
D The stimulus-driven system requires conscious effort to activate habits.
13. What enables the goal-directed system to become automatic?
A. Repeated practice. B. Frequent overrides.
C. Reduced mental load. D. One-time adaptations.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The force behind nicotine addiction. B. The benefits of building good habits.
C. The complexity of forming bad habits. D. The value of foreseeing natural selection.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Old habits die hard B. Habit is what keeps you going
C. Let’s make the right resolutions D. It takes resolution to keep resolutions
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要从神经科学角度解释习惯的形成机制,以及意志力在改变习惯中的关键作用。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But permanent changes, such as breaking an old habit requires weakening the stimulus-driven system to reduce the relevance of old stimuli and strengthening the goal-directed one to increase that of new ones.(但如果是永久性的改变,例如改掉旧习惯需要削弱刺激-驱动系统,以降低旧刺激因素的相关性,同时强化目标导向型系统,从而增强新刺激因素的相关性)”可知,永久性的行为改变需要削弱刺激-驱动系统,同时强化目标导向型系统,由此推知习惯养成系统需要重组才能永久改变,故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Deliberate repetition trains the brain so that what was once goal-directed becomes automatic.(有意识的不断重复能训练大脑,让原本需要目标驱动的行为逐渐变成一种自动行为)”可知,不断重复能让原本需要目标驱动的行为逐渐变成一种自动行为,故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容,结合首句“Why people learn bad habits in the first place remains mysterious.(人们最初为什么会养成坏习惯仍然是个谜)”和末句“Non-addictive habits like procrastination are harder to explain.(像拖延症这样的非成瘾性习惯更难解释)”可知,第四段主要讲述养成坏习惯的难解之处,故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“More scientific studies confirm that it takes months for a new behaviour to stick.(更多的科学研究证实,养成一种新习惯需要几个月的时间)”和最后一段“In the end, though, when it comes to habit-formation, the old joke gives us the solution: ‘How many psychoanalysts (精神分析学家) does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light bulb has to really want to change.’(最后,说到习惯的形成,有个老笑话给了我们答案:‘换一个灯泡需要多少个精神分析学家?只需要一个,但前提是灯泡本身真的渴望改变。’)”可知,文章分析了习惯形成的过程(多巴胺作用、基底神经节与皮层的双重脑系统),强调意志力在养成好习惯和打破坏习惯中的关键作用,D项“坚持决心是需要决心的”最适合作为标题,故选D。
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。
A couple of years ago, my wife bought my four-year-old son a set of wooden ramps (坡道) that could be combined with furniture to create courses for little balls to run through. The first course was easy to build. ____16____ Could we make the balls turn corners or go uphill? Would the piano bench support a ramp? The possibilities seemed endless. Over the next two years, we kept adjusting and adding elements to our courses. By the time my son lost interest, we had become experts, seeing ramp potential in almost anything.
I hadn’t expected to enjoy the ramps so much. ____17____ This is a form of effortful repetition. In many areas of life, we repeat tasks to perfect them. This is repetition in pursuit of an ideal.
____18____ It allows for exploration and discovery. For instance, when cooking, you can adjust ingredients over time, developing your cooking talent. In music, you can vary your performance, creating new compositions. Repainting a landscape can reveal new artistic opportunities. In these cases, repetition leads to an expanding set of possibilities, not a fixed endpoint
We’re used to exploring things ourselves, but as artificial intelligence advances, it can relieve us of the burden of trying again. AI systems can generate new versions of existing things, such as custom recipes based on a photo or multiple versions of a song or image. This raises key questions: Can automated exploration replace human creativity? Is this variation the same as human creativity? ____19____
It feels strange to imagine that soon we may need to remind ourselves to think. AI thinks for us and promises to do the thinking in many contexts. In a world dominated by technology, we already have to remind ourselves to disconnect, go outside, and have non-technological experiences. If we’re not careful, our minds will do less as computers do more. ____20____
A. But as our ambitions grew, so did the challenges.
B. And we may never be able to enjoy another ramp ever again.
C. How come this man-made technology outperforms our brain?
D. There’s also another kind of repetition that combines variation.
E. It’s hard for us to decide whether to be the passengers or pilots of our lives.
F. But they turned out to be a special experience of trying, failing and trying again.
G. As AI improves, we may be tempted to let it take over the process of exploration.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. B

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m thrilled you’re exploring Chinese poetry! The line you mentioned literally means “Close friends within the world’s bounds feel like neighbors, even at the earth’s edge.” It highlights how true friendship exceeds physical distance through emotional connection.
This philosophy stems from traditional Chinese values. Ancient scholars believed spiritual bonds outweighed geographical separation, reflecting Confucian ideals of harmony and collective unity. Such lines reveal our cultural emphasis on enduring relationships over physical closeness.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Two days before New Year’s Eve, the world outside Kelly’s home was blanketed in a quiet frost. Twinkling lights hung from the roof, and the house smelled like cinnamon and pine. The day had unfolded like any other holiday afternoon-grocery delivery, a bit of tidying, and a spontaneous gesture of generosity. When she tipped her Uber delivery driver an extra $130 through the app, Kelly felt a quiet joy, imagining how it might brighten someone’s day. She gave it no further thought.
Until the next evening.
It was just after dusk when her doorbell rang. Startled (受惊的), Kelly glanced at her phone and tapped the Ring camera app. There, bundled in a thick jacket and shifting nervously on her feet, stood the same delivery woman from two days before. Her cheeks were tinged pink from the cold, and her eyes carried a restless intensity. She cleared her throat.
“Hi,” the woman began, her voice tentative but urgent. “I am so sorry to bother you. I’m not a psycho, I swear. I’m with Uber.”
Kelly blinked in confusion. The woman gave a tight smile and gestured toward the house with gloved hands, her breath misting in the air.
“I delivered your groceries the other day. I... I think you were overcharged,” she said quickly. “I got a $130 tip and — I just — I didn’t sleep last night. I kept thinking maybe it was a mistake or your card got hacked (被侵入) or something.”
Her voice trembled, part from the cold and part from the weight of anxiety she had clearly carried all night. She rocked on her heels, as though fighting the urge to flee. “I didn’t know how else to find you but to come back. I just — I didn’t want it to affect your account.”
Kelly stepped outside, a mix of surprise and warmth sweeping over her. “You got the money?” she asked.
The woman nodded. “Yeah. I received it. But I wasn’t sure if it was meant for me or not.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
“It was for you,” Kelly said with a smile, her voice softening.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Ring camera recording everything, Kelly decided to do one more thing.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“It was for you,” Kelly said with a smile, her voice softening. The woman stared at her, lips parted slightly, unsure whether to believe her ears. Her eyes welled up. “Thank you... I’ve been delivering every day this month just to cover rent,” she whispered. “But I couldn’t sleep thinking it might not be rightfully mine.” Kelly’s gaze lingered on her, moved by her honesty. “You came all the way back just to make sure?” The woman gave a shy nod. Kelly felt a warmth swell in her chest. “I wish more people were like you,” she murmured. Under the porch light they hugged and said goodbye. (95 words)
The Ring camera recording everything, Kelly decided to do one more thing. She uploaded the short video to a neighborhood group with the caption: “Some hearts shine even brighter than holiday lights.” The post quickly spread-likes, comments, then shares. Messages poured in praising the woman’s honesty and humility. A small community fund was soon set up in her name, and strangers offered donations and even job leads. That night, as Kelly watched snowflakes drift lazily past the window, she glanced at the glowing screen one last time. There, frozen in the video’s thumbnail, was the woman’s face lit softly by the porch light-nervous, brave, and unmistakably kind. (95 words)
