In northwest China’s Gansu province, 68-year-old Wang Xilin has devoted more than half his life to protecting the ancient Great Wall. Every day for over three decades, he has walked along the winding wall, keeping watch over this precious piece of China’s cultural heritage (遗产).
“At first, the loneliness was very strong,” Wang recalls, “but gradually, every section of the wall became like an old friend to me.” His deep connection to the wall motivated him to continue this important work, which he considers both a family duty and a national responsibility.
After retiring from full-time duty last year, Wang passed his responsibilities to his daughter-in-law, ensuring their family’s commitment to wall protection would continue. Though officially retired, he still visits the wall three times weekly, picking up rubbish and reporting any damage he finds.
The local wall sections were originally built during China’s Han and Ming dynasties. Protecting these historical structures presents numerous challenges. Wang remembers facing thieves attempting to steal sand and stones from the wall’s foundation. “People used to take materials to build their homes,” he says. “I once had to stand in front of a truck to stop them.” In addition to human threats, natural elements remain the greatest challenge. The earthen walls are easy to damage from rain, snow, and strong winds.
Although local government has taken measures to address these threats, the work of the protectors is still physically demanding. They ride motorcycles along dangerous mountain paths in all weather conditions to check the wall weekly. They carefully record any damage while checking that protective fences (栅栏) and warning signs remain in place. Beyond their guarding duties, these protectors also serve as educators, teaching local communities about the wall’s historical importance.
For Wang and his fellow protectors, their work is more than just a job—it’s a lifelong mission and source of great pride. As Wang puts it, “As long as I can walk, I’ll keep watching over our Great Wall.”
24. What motivated Wang Xilin to protect the Great Wall?
A. His desire to be a famous protector.
B. His deep attachment to the Great Wall.
C. His interest in the history of the Great Wall.
D. His plan to pass the responsibility to his family.
25. According to the passage, what is the work of the protectors?
A. Recording any damage to the wall.
B. Educating locals on repairing the wall.
C. Riding motorcycles to check the wall daily.
D. Repairing broken sections with sand and stones.
26. Which of the following best describes Wang Xilin?
A. Honest and generous. B. Sensitive and easygoing.
C. Creative and warm-hearted. D. Devoted and determined.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇人物故事,讲述了王希林(音译)保护古老长城的故事。
24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His deep connection to the wall motivated him to continue this important work, which he considers both a family duty and a national responsibility.(他对长城的深厚感情激励着他继续这项重要的工作,他认为这既是对家庭的职责,也是对国家的责任)可知,王希林保护长城的动机来自他对长城的深厚情感。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“the work of the protectors is still physically demanding(保护者的这项工作仍然需要耗费体力)以及“They carefully record any damage while checking that protective fences and warning signs remain in place.(他们会仔细记录任何损坏情况,并同时确认防护围栏和警示标志是否仍处于完好状态)可知,保护者要记录长城的损坏情况。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“In northwest China’s Gansu province, 68-year-old Wang Xilin has devoted more than half his life to protecting the ancient Great Wall. Every day for over three decades, he has walked along the winding wall, keeping watch over this precious piece of China’s cultural heritage (在中国西北部的甘肃省,68 岁的王希林先生将自己生命中超过一半的时间都用于保护古老的长城。在过去的三十多年里,他每天都会沿着蜿蜒的城墙行走,守护着这一珍贵的中国文化遗产)”可推断,王希林在保护长城这件事上有奉献精神,而且有决心坚持,D项表示“有献身精神的和有决心的”与推断相吻合。故选D项。
C
Freely available large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek are now used routinely by many to help with various tasks, from summarizing papers to generating code (代码) to developing ideas. But relying on LLMs too much may come with hidden costs. So it is time for us to collectively assess how to engage with this technology going forward, with a view to promoting progress without creating new inequalities or weakening the important human element and excitement of scientific discovery.
Giacomo Beccari and Henri Boffin highlight the two-way nature of our relationship with LLMs in their research: though outsourcing tasks can free up mental energy and memory resources for the most challenging parts of a project, this may also lead to a gradual decrease in problem-solving skills and subject-specific knowledge at the level of the individual. In just the same way that always using a calculator makes it more difficult to do efficient mental maths, we may see research activity becoming increasingly LLM-dependent — which puts that activity at risk if, for some reason in the future, we lose the power to develop these technologies.
Chiara Mingarelli sees the same issue in another light. Through an experiment in using ChatGPT to keep a written record of discussions at a recent meeting on the gravitational (引力的) wave background, Mingarelli finds herself questioning her responsibility and identity as a scientific author: how does she compare a human-written meeting report, for which considerable care has been taken to accurately capture (捕获) the detailed differences and depth of attendees’ thinking, with a ChatGPT-generated version that is enough but somewhat shallower and simplified? Is the time saved by the latter worth the loss of detail from the former, and are there situations in which the simplified version is preferable? There is also a sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from taking on the challenge of expressing scientific arguments clearly, and from gradually becoming better at doing so. Handing such tasks over to LLMs, then, may not only put specific scientific skills at risk, but also take away this unquantifiable sense of meaning that we feel when we master difficult tasks on our own.
This is not to say that we all need to give up LLMs forever and refuse every advantage they can offer us. Rather, the key may be to invest careful thought in what we ask of such technology and what we keep for ourselves, with particular attention on those impacts that aren’t immediately apparent but will gradually increase over time.
27. What is the main concern regarding LLMs?
A. The difficulty in mastering modern LLMs.
B. The potential loss of human’s engagement.
C. The technical limitations of LLMs systems.
D. The financial cost of developing technologies.
28. What does the phrase “two-way nature” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Advantages and disadvantages of using LLMs.
B. Traditional and modern attitudes towards LLMs.
C. Mental energy and memory resources LLMs bring us.
D. The past foundation and the future development of LLMs.
29. What is Mingarelli’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Approving. B. Hopeful. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical.
30. What should we do with LLMs in the future according to this passage?
A. Seek more help from LLMs.
B. Ignore obvious impacts of LLMs.
C. Use LLMs wisely and strategically.
D. Develop LLMs carefully and thoughtfully.
【答案】27. B 28. A 29. D 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了大型语言模型 (LLMs) 如ChatGPT和DeepSeek在日常任务中的广泛应用,同时指出了过度依赖LLMs可能带来的潜在问题,并提出了未来应如何明智地使用这些技术的建议。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Giacomo Beccari and Henri Boffin highlight the two-way nature of our relationship with LLMs in their research: though outsourcing tasks can free up mental energy and memory resources for the most challenging parts of a project, this may also lead to a gradual decrease in problem-solving skills and subject-specific knowledge at the level of the individual. (Giacomo Beccari和Henri Boffin在他们的研究中强调了我们与LLMs之间关系的双向性:尽管将任务外包可以为项目中最具挑战性的部分释放出脑力和记忆资源,但这也可能导致个人在解决问题能力和特定学科知识方面的逐渐下降)”以及第三段中“Handing such tasks over to LLMs, then, may not only put specific scientific skills at risk, but also take away this unquantifiable sense of meaning that we feel when we master difficult tasks on our own. (因此,将此类任务交给LLMs处理,不仅可能危及特定的科学技能,还可能剥夺我们在独立完成困难任务时所感受到的那种无法量化的意义感)”可知,本文主要关注的是过度依赖LLMs可能导致的人类参与度的潜在丧失,包括问题解决能力和特定学科知识的下降,以及完成困难任务时所获得的成就感。故选B。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Giacomo Beccari and Henri Boffin highlight the two-way nature of our relationship with LLMs in their research: though outsourcing tasks can free up mental energy and memory resources for the most challenging parts of a project, this may also lead to a gradual decrease in problem-solving skills and subject-specific knowledge at the level of the individual. (Giacomo Beccari和Henri Boffin在他们的研究中强调了我们与LLMs之间关系的two-way nature:尽管将任务外包可以为项目中最具挑战性的部分释放出脑力和记忆资源,但这也可能导致个人在解决问题能力和特定学科知识方面的逐渐下降)”可知,本段主要讲述了使用LLMs的优点和缺点,因此可以推测出“two-way nature”指的是使用LLMs的利弊。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Chiara Mingarelli sees the same issue in another light. Through an experiment in using ChatGPT to keep a written record of discussions at a recent meeting on the gravitational (引力的) wave background, Mingarelli finds herself questioning her responsibility and identity as a scientific author: how does she compare a human-written meeting report, for which considerable care has been taken to accurately capture (捕获) the detailed differences and depth of attendees’ thinking, with a ChatGPT-generated version that is enough but somewhat shallower and simplified?

Handing such tasks over to LLMs, then, may not only put specific scientific skills at risk, but also take away this unquantifiable sense of meaning that we feel when we master difficult tasks on our own. (Chiara Mingarelli从另一个角度看待同样的问题。通过在一次关于引力波背景的会议上使用ChatGPT记录讨论内容的实验,Mingarelli发现自己开始质疑自己作为科学作者的责任和身份:她如何将一份经过精心撰写、准确捕捉参会者思维细节差异和深度的会议报告,与一份由ChatGPT生成、足够但略显浅显和简化的版本进行比较?后者节省的时间是否值得前者失去的细节,以及在什么情况下简化版本更可取?接受清晰表达科学论点的挑战,并逐渐在这方面做得更好,也会带来一种自豪感和满足感。因此,将此类任务交给LLMs处理,不仅可能危及特定的科学技能,还可能剥夺我们在独立完成困难任务时所感受到的那种无法量化的意义感)”可知,Mingarelli对ChatGPT持批判态度,认为虽然ChatGPT生成的版本足够但略显浅显和简化,可能危及特定的科学技能,还可能剥夺我们在独立完成困难任务时所感受到的那种无法量化的意义感。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is not to say that we all need to give up LLMs forever and refuse every advantage they can offer us. Rather, the key may be to invest careful thought in what we ask of such technology and what we keep for ourselves, with particular attention on those impacts that aren’t immediately apparent but will gradually increase over time. (这并不是说我们都需要永远放弃LLMs,拒绝它们能提供给我们的每一个优势。相反,关键在于我们要仔细思考我们对这项技术的要求以及我们为自己保留的东西,特别关注那些不会立即显现但会随着时间的推移而逐渐增加的影响)”可知,文章建议我们在未来应该明智且有策略地使用LLMs,仔细思考我们对这项技术的要求以及我们为自己保留的东西,特别关注那些不会立即显现但会随着时间的推移而逐渐增加的影响。故选C。

“But I’m just not funny!” Many people feel this way, and maybe you’ve felt it too. ____31____ It helps us cope and tap into inner resources like resilience (恢复力). It can also improve thinking and learning. Most importantly, humor builds stronger friendships when used kindly. The best part? Humor isn’t a natural talent—it’s a skill anyone can learn. Below are practical ways to develop this skill.
Start by observing others’ humor. ____32____ Be a humor sponge (海绵). Websites, TV shows, and funny friends are all great resources. Watch how your funny friends do it. Praise your funny friends by retelling and revisiting their funny stuff. You can spread joy by simply noticing and sharing good humor.
While prepared jokes work, most humor is organic, occurring naturally in daily life. Take a moment and think about all the funny things pets, kids, and especially adults do by accident. Likely you have some embarrassing stories that, with the passage of time, have become flat-out funny. Not long ago, I thought a thief was breaking into my house, but it was just a wild turkey attacking its reflection in a glass door. ____33____
Natural humor is common, but you can take it to the next level with “humor habits”. One effective way to enhance your sense of humor is to keep a humor journal. ____34____ Then reflect on how they made you feel. This simple practice helps you appreciate the humor around you and can boost your mood. The more you focus on humor, the more you’ll notice it in your daily life and enjoy it.
Just as journaling can sharpen your humor skills, so can purposely building your humor identity. Visualize yourself overflowing with funny ideas, using them to spread laughter, joy, and ease. ____35____ Good humor is a generative gift: the more you share, the more you are likely to receive.
A. Listen to their jokes, laugh, and learn.
B. However, humor holds surprising power.
C. It’s always a good idea to know your audience.
D. At the end of each day, write down the funniest moments.
E. As you deepen your skills, your “humor energy” will energize others.

【解析】
【36题详解】
考查动词。句意:杰森很感激自己从百万富翁的身份转变为一个普通人的这一转变,并且很高兴能够放弃富人的那种生活方式。根据空后的“the change from a millionaire to an ordinary man”可知要选表示“感激”的appreciate。根据主语Jason和其后的时态and is,可知时态用一般现在时,主语是单个名词,谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填appreciates。
【37题详解】
考查动词。句意:最后我的朋友说服我读了一本名为《成功秘诀》的书。根据空后的“ me to read the book”可知要选表示“说服”的convince。根据语境,应用一般过去时。故填convinced。
【38题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:许多科学家表示,我们如今正步入地球的第六次大规模物种灭绝时期。这一次人类的活动将该受责备。由于be to blame是固定搭配,表示“该受责备”。故填blame。

考查动词短语。句意:在现代社会,许多人依靠智能手机来处理各种日常事务,从交流到购物无所不包。根据空后smartphones to deal with可知,只有rely on可构成rely on sth+动词不定式,表示“依靠某物做某事”。本句主语是复数名词many people,时态用一般现在时陈述事实,填动词原形即可。故填rely on。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意:由于海伦·凯勒掌握了语言的关键知识,她就非常渴望继续学习更多相关内容,并尽可能多地运用这些知识。空在主语Helen Keller,要填动词,方框中的grasp表示“掌握”,符合句意。主句谓语用过去式was,now that引导的从句可以用过去时,也可以用过去完成时表示从句动作先发生。故填grasped或had grasped。
【42题详解】

第四部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第44、45题各2分, 第46题3分, 第47题5分, 共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
A recent study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) presents significant impacts of short video overuse. Over 20% of Chinese teenagers and 30% of college students say long-time watching of short videos has affected their sleep and academic performance, while 40% of working adults report that short video use passively impacts their sleep quality and energy levels at work. The research, surveying 130,000 participants, found students aged 10-18 average over 90 minutes daily on short videos, college students average nearly 3 hours, and working adults average about 140 minutes.
Heavy usage is also linked to an increased likelihood of anxiety and depression, according to the study. When daily viewing reaches more than four hours, about 42 percent of teenagers, 29 percent of college students, and 34 percent of working adults reported experiencing different degrees of anxiety.
“The risk of depression gradually increases with heightened short video consumption among teenagers,” the report said. “While less than an hour of daily use does not significantly raise the risk of depressive condition for college students and working adults, long-time usage does.”
Guo Fei, an assistant professor at the institute and co-author of the research, said it is difficult to define a healthy range of short video use or assess addiction based simply on screen time.
“Some people who appear to spend long hours on short videos might actually be watching educational content to improve their knowledge and skills,” she said.
Based on the findings, Guo recommended that teenagers limit their short video usage to under 30 minutes a day. For adults, 30 minutes to an hour may offer some mental benefits, but usage should remain under an hour.
44. What does the recent study of CAS present?
__________________________________________________________________________________
45. According to the study, what is heavy use of short videos linked to?
__________________________________________________________________________________
46. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Watching short videos for 30 minutes to an hour may offer some mental benefits for teenagers.
__________________________________________________________________________________
47. Apart from limiting viewing time, what other suggestion(s) can you offer to reduce short video overuse?(In about 40 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】44. (It presents/shows) significant impacts of short video overuse.
45. An increased likelihood of anxiety and depression. (sleep quality, academic performance, energy levels at work)
46. Watching short videos for 30 minutes to an hour may offer some mental benefits for teenagers.
Watching short videos for 30 minutes to an hour may offer some mental benefits for adults.
47. To cut down on short videos, try outdoor activities like jogging or gardening — these not only refresh your mind but also improve fitness. Also, real-life chats with family and friends bring more joy than endless scrolling, while strengthening your relationships. (41words)
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章详细阐述了短视频过度使用对青少年、大学生及职场人士在睡眠、学业、工作表现以及心理健康方面的显著影响,并提出了相应的建议。
【44题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“A recent study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) presents significant impacts of short video overuse. (中国科学院近期的一项研究揭示了短视频过度使用的显著影响)”可知,中国科学院的这项研究揭示了短视频过度使用的显著影响。故答案为(It presents/shows) significant impacts of short video overuse.
【45题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Heavy usage is also linked to an increased likelihood of anxiety and depression, according to the study. (研究表明,过度使用短视频还与焦虑和抑郁的可能性增加有关)”以及第一段中“Over 20% of Chinese teenagers and 30% of college students say long-time watching of short videos has affected their sleep and academic performance, while 40% of working adults report that short video use passively impacts their sleep quality and energy levels at work. (超过20%的中国青少年和30%的大学生表示,长时间观看短视频影响了他们的睡眠和学业表现,而40%的职场人士表示,短视频使用对他们的睡眠质量和工作精力产生了负面影响)”可知,过度使用短视频与焦虑、抑郁的可能性增加以及睡眠质量、学业表现和工作精力的下降有关,故答案为An increased likelihood of anxiety and depression. (sleep quality, academic performance, energy levels at work)。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Based on the findings, Guo recommended that teenagers limit their short video usage to under 30 minutes a day. For adults, 30 minutes to an hour may offer some mental benefits, but usage should remain under an hour. (基于这些发现,郭建议青少年每天观看短视频的时间限制在30分钟以内。对于成年人来说,30分钟到1小时可能会带来一些心理上的好处,但使用时间应保持在1小时以内)”可知,观看短视频30分钟到1小时可能对成年人有一些心理上的好处,而不是对青少年,所以“Watching short videos for 30 minutes to an hour may offer some mental benefits for teenagers.”是错误的,故答案应改为Watching short videos for 30 minutes to an hour may offer some mental benefits for adults.
【47题详解】
考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段““Some people who appear to spend long hours on short videos might actually be watching educational content to improve their knowledge and skills,” she said. (“有些人看似花了很长时间在短视频上,实际上可能是在观看教育内容以提高自己的知识和技能,”她说)”以及常识可知,为了减少短视频的过度使用,除了限制观看时间外,还可以建议人们参与户外活动,如慢跑或园艺,这些活动不仅能让人头脑清醒,还能提高身体素质;同时,与家人和朋友进行现实生活中的聊天也能带来比无休止地刷短视频更多的乐趣,同时还能加强人际关系。故答案为To cut down on short videos, try outdoor activities like jogging or gardening — these not only refresh your mind but also improve fitness. Also, real-life chats with family and friends bring more joy than endless scrolling, while strengthening your relationships. (41words)。

【答案】
The Person Who Has Inspired Me
Good morning, everyone!
The person who inspires me most is my grandmother, a retired nurse who served during the 2003 SARS outbreak. Though her job was tiring, she always put patients first, even risking her own health to care for them. After work, she still found energy to cook for our family with a smile.
Her influence shapes my daily life. When I feel like giving up on difficult math problems, I remember her saying: “Hard work beats talent.” When I see classmates struggling, I take time to help, just as she helped strangers. Most importantly, she proved that ordinary people can do extraordinary things through kindness and effort.
Like a candle lighting other candles, my grandma’s spirit continues in me. I admire her very much. Thank you.

In northwest China’s Gansu province, 68-year-old Wang Xilin has devoted more than half his life to protecting the ancient Great Wall. Every day for over three decades, he has walked along the winding wall, keeping watch over this precious piece of China’s cultural heritage (遗产).
“At first, the loneliness was very strong,” Wang recalls, “but gradually, every section of the wall became like an old friend to me.” His deep connection to the wall motivated him to continue this important work, which he considers both a family duty and a national responsibility.
After retiring from full-time duty last year, Wang passed his responsibilities to his daughter-in-law, ensuring their family’s commitment to wall protection would continue. Though officially retired, he still visits the wall three times weekly, picking up rubbish and reporting any damage he finds.
The local wall sections were originally built during China’s Han and Ming dynasties. Protecting these historical structures presents numerous challenges. Wang remembers facing thieves attempting to steal sand and stones from the wall’s foundation. “People used to take materials to build their homes,” he says. “I once had to stand in front of a truck to stop them.” In addition to human threats, natural elements remain the greatest challenge. The earthen walls are easy to damage from rain, snow, and strong winds.
Although local government has taken measures to address these threats, the work of the protectors is still physically demanding. They ride motorcycles along dangerous mountain paths in all weather conditions to check the wall weekly. They carefully record any damage while checking that protective fences (栅栏) and warning signs remain in place. Beyond their guarding duties, these protectors also serve as educators, teaching local communities about the wall’s historical importance.
For Wang and his fellow protectors, their work is more than just a job—it’s a lifelong mission and source of great pride. As Wang puts it, “As long as I can walk, I’ll keep watching over our Great Wall.”
24. What motivated Wang Xilin to protect the Great Wall?
A. His desire to be a famous protector.
B. His deep attachment to the Great Wall.
C. His interest in the history of the Great Wall.
D. His plan to pass the responsibility to his family.
25. According to the passage, what is the work of the protectors?
A. Recording any damage to the wall.
B. Educating locals on repairing the wall.
C. Riding motorcycles to check the wall daily.
D. Repairing broken sections with sand and stones.
26. Which of the following best describes Wang Xilin?
A. Honest and generous. B. Sensitive and easygoing.
C. Creative and warm-hearted. D. Devoted and determined.
C
Freely available large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek are now used routinely by many to help with various tasks, from summarizing papers to generating code (代码) to developing ideas. But relying on LLMs too much may come with hidden costs. So it is time for us to collectively assess how to engage with this technology going forward, with a view to promoting progress without creating new inequalities or weakening the important human element and excitement of scientific discovery.
Giacomo Beccari and Henri Boffin highlight the two-way nature of our relationship with LLMs in their research: though outsourcing tasks can free up mental energy and memory resources for the most challenging parts of a project this may also lead to a gradual decrease in problem-solving skills and subject-specific knowledge at the level of the individual. In just the same way that always using a calculator makes it more difficult to do efficient mental maths, we may see research activity becoming increasingly LLM-dependent — which puts that activity at risk if, for some reason in the future, we lose the power to develop these technologies.
Chiara Mingarelli sees the same issue in another light. Through an experiment in using ChatGPT to keep a written record of discussions at a recent meeting on the gravitational (引力的) wave background, Mingarelli finds herself questioning her responsibility and identity as a scientific author: how does she compare a human-written meeting report, for which considerable care has been taken to accurately capture (捕获) the detailed differences and depth of attendees’ thinking, with a ChatGPT-generated version that is enough but somewhat shallower and simplified? Is the time saved by the latter worth the loss of detail from the former, and are there situations in which the simplified version is preferable? There is also a sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from taking on the challenge of expressing scientific arguments clearly, and from gradually becoming better at doing so. Handing such tasks over to LLMs, then, may not only put specific scientific skills at risk, but also take away this unquantifiable sense of meaning that we feel when we master difficult tasks on our own.
This is not to say that we all need to give up LLMs forever and refuse every advantage they can offer us. Rather, the key may be to invest careful thought in what we ask of such technology and what we keep for ourselves, with particular attention on those impacts that aren’t immediately apparent but will gradually increase over time.
27. What is the main concern regarding LLMs?
A. The difficulty in mastering modern LLMs.
B. The potential loss of human’s engagement.
C The technical limitations of LLMs systems.
D. The financial cost of developing technologies.
28. What does the phrase “two-way nature” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Advantages and disadvantages of using LLMs.
B. Traditional and modern attitudes towards LLMs.
C. Mental energy and memory resources LLMs bring us.
D. The past foundation and the future development of LLMs.
29. What is Mingarelli’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Approving. B. Hopeful. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical.
30. What should we do with LLMs in the future according to this passage?
A. Seek more help from LLMs.
B. Ignore obvious impacts of LLMs.
C. Use LLMs wisely and strategically.
D. Develop LLMs carefully and thoughtfully.

“But I’m just not funny!” Many people feel this way, and maybe you’ve felt it too. ____31____ It helps us cope and tap into inner resources like resilience (恢复力). It can also improve thinking and learning. Most importantly, humor builds stronger friendships when used kindly. The best part? Humor isn’t a natural talent—it’s a skill anyone can learn. Below are practical ways to develop this skill.
Start by observing others’ humor. ____32____ Be a humor sponge (海绵). Websites, TV shows, and funny friends are all great resources. Watch how your funny friends do it. Praise your funny friends by retelling and revisiting their funny stuff. You can spread joy by simply noticing and sharing good humor.
While prepared jokes work, most humor is organic, occurring naturally in daily life. Take a moment and think about all the funny things pets, kids, and especially adults do by accident. Likely you have some embarrassing stories that, with the passage of time, have become flat-out funny. Not long ago, I thought a thief was breaking into my house, but it was just a wild turkey attacking its reflection in a glass door. ____33____
Natural humor is common, but you can take it to the next level with “humor habits”. One effective way to enhance your sense of humor is to keep a humor journal. ____34____ Then reflect on how they made you feel. This simple practice helps you appreciate the humor around you and can boost your mood. The more you focus on humor, the more you’ll notice it in your daily life and enjoy it.
Just as journaling can sharpen your humor skills, so can purposely building your humor identity. Visualize yourself overflowing with funny ideas, using them to spread laughter, joy, and ease. ____35____ Good humor is a generative gift: the more you share, the more you are likely to receive.
A. Listen to their jokes, laugh, and learn.
B. However, humor holds surprising power.
C. It’s always a good idea to know your audience.
D. At the end of each day, write down the funniest moments.
E. As you deepen your skills, your “humor energy” will energize others.
F Yet studies show hurtful humor actually reduces people’s sense of happiness.
G. So let’s share and celebrate the light-hearted moments that unfold in everyday life.

A recent study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) presents significant impacts of short video overuse. Over 20% of Chinese teenagers and 30% of college students say long-time watching of short videos has affected their sleep and academic performance, while 40% of working adults report that short video use passively impacts their sleep quality and energy levels at work. The research, surveying 130,000 participants, found students aged 10-18 average over 90 minutes daily on short videos, college students average nearly 3 hours, and working adults average about 140 minutes.
Heavy usage is also linked to an increased likelihood of anxiety and depression, according to the study. When daily viewing reaches more than four hours, about 42 percent of teenagers, 29 percent of college students, and 34 percent of working adults reported experiencing different degrees of anxiety.
“The risk of depression gradually increases with heightened short video consumption among teenagers,” the report said. “While less than an hour of daily use does not significantly raise the risk of depressive condition for college students and working adults, long-time usage does.”
Guo Fei, an assistant professor at the institute and co-author of the research, said it is difficult to define a healthy range of short video use or assess addiction based simply on screen time.
“Some people who appear to spend long hours on short videos might actually be watching educational content to improve their knowledge and skills,” she said.
Based on the findings, Guo recommended that teenagers limit their short video usage to under 30 minutes a day. For adults, 30 minutes to an hour may offer some mental benefits, but usage should remain under an hour.
