I started with small,consistent steps.Weekend jogs became my routine,each time pushing me to go just a little farther.I examined my habits,replaced mindless snacking with mindful eating and got rid of sugary drinks.The rewards were gradual but profound:better sleep,looser clothes, and a newfound mental clarity.Running became my moving meditation,a time when I could process stress and return with patience and focus. After several months,I completed my first 5-kilometer run with my daughter.Though our pace 英语试题第3页（共8页）》 was slow,the accomplishment felt enormous.That success encouraged me to keep pushing myself-5 miles,then 10 miles,and then 15 miles.So when the opportunity to run the New York Marathon arose,I registered immediately,ready to embrace a challenge that truly terrified me. For five months,I dedicated myself to a strict training plan and long runs that peaked at 20 miles.On the day I ran the New York Marathon,though tired,I kept running steadily.When I spotted my wife and daughter in the crowd,a final,electric surge()of energy carried me forward.Crossing the finish line in 4:51:28,I was flooded with overwhelming pride-I had done it.I had accomplished the impossible. This journey taught me that true transformation is achieved in the daily choice to show up and hang on in there.We are all capable of far more than we believe.Every step forward,no matter how small,moves us toward the best version of ourselves.Progress isn't about perfection;it's about consistently choosing growth over comfort. 24.What led to the author's change of lifestyle? A.His daughter's criticism. B.His poor physical condition. C.His promotion to general director. D.His need to have an attractive image. 25.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The effective approaches for dealing with stress. B.The immediate benefits of quitting drinking. C.The strict exercise plan the author followed. D.The positive effects of the author's new lifestyle. 26.Why did the author decide to sign up for the New York Marathon? A.He was eager to meet challenges lying ahead. B.He had rich experience in running marathons. C.He aimed to demonstrate his athletic ability. D.He wanted to run it with his daughter. 27.What message does the text mainly convey? A.Failure is the mother of success. B.A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. C.One cannot obtain anything without paying the price. D.A thousand-mile journey begins with the first step. C For many people,spending time in nature can be a relaxing,enjoyable experience.Immersing (oneself in the green field of grass,or the shade of a forested trail can be truly calming and healing. Recently,researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Vienna have published a study in Nature Communications that showed that not only does being in nature help reduce pain,but looking at nature could have a similar effect. The study showed that people who viewed images of nature experienced less pain than those who saw images of a city or an indoor office.In addition,scans of the participants'brains also showed changes in brain responses associated with processing pain.This means that seeing nature has an effect on pain,just like being in nature does.This is welcome news for people who do not live near green spaces. However,a few months later,the researchers published another study,this time in Pain, showing that scenes of nature in virtual reality had more pain-killing power than 2D scenes. In order to test how virtual reality affects the sensation of pain,the researchers set up an experiment with 29 healthy participants,who were shown two different types of nature scenes,one in virtual reality and the other in 2D,after pain was delivered to their forearms via electric shocks. The researchers found that the immersive virtual reality scenes mitigated the development and feeling of pain in the participants.In fact,the virtual reality was almost two times as effective as the 2D scenes were. 英语试题第4页（共8页） There are many implications of these studies,especially concerning how people perceive and experience pain.However,more importantly,there are also potential practical implications of the studies.Though getting out into nature can be helpful in terms of treating pain,there are many people in the world who suffer from long-term pain and are unable to go into nature. 28.What did the two universities'study find about looking at natural scenes? A.It intensifies the sense of pain. B.It changes the structure of the brain. C.It makes people feel bored with cities. D.It works like real nature in easing pain. 29.Why are the participants'brains scanned? A.To improve the brain's ability of pain processing. B.To measure the brain's responses to different images. C.To compare the brain structures of different people. D.To locate the brain areas responsible for viewing nature. 30.What does the underlined word "mitigated"in paragraph 6 probably mean? A.Caused. B.Sharpened. C.Reduced. D.Reflected. 31.What will doctors probably do to help patients with limited mobility? A.Bring nature to them. B.Provide them with recovery training. C.Give pain killers to them. D.Show them various forms of entertainment. 0 A video of a lifelike robot released by a Chinese robotics company shows the robot's head blinks,nods,and looks around in a convincing imitation of a real human face.The head,created by AheadForm,might find use in research on human-robot interactions or in various industries, including customer service and entertainment. Founded in 2024,AheadForm aims to make interactions between humans and robots feel more natural and engaging,according to the company's website.The company hopes to integrate AI systems such as large language models LLMs)with realistic robotic heads so that robots can understand and respond to people in real time. “Our current focus is on creating sophisticated(先进的)humanoid robot heads that can express emotions,perceive their environment,and interact smoothly with humans,"a company representative said on the website. AheadForm has produced multiple series of robot forms,including its "Elf"line of pointy- eared figures with precise control systems and a more human-looking "Lan Series"of bots designed to prioritize cost-efficiency and intuitive movements. In building a robotic head that can integrate with Al,the company aims to make robots more approachable and relatable.That could be useful for industries such as customer service,education,and healthcare,"where building trust with human users is essential,"according to the website. Researchers from AheadForm are already working on how this might play out.In a 2024 study published in the journal Science Robotics,AheadForm founder Yuhang Hu and his colleagues designed a robot that could analyze,predict,and mimic()human facial expressions in real time. To achieve the subtle,precise facial movements in the video,AheadForm uses brushless motors.These tiny devices run quietly and work together to create the lifelike twitches and glances that make the head seem realistic.Inside this particular model,the Origin M1,there are up to 25 tiny motors that control the head's expressions.The bot also has cameras in its pupils to help it "see"its environment,along with built-in speakers and microphones it can use to interact with users on the fly. 32.What do we know about the robot in the video? A.It has been widely used in various industries. B.It is designed by an international robotics company. C.It can function better than human in certain aspects D.It has the potential to promote human-robot interactions. 英语试题第5页（共8页）》 33.What does AheadForm center on at present? A.Developing advanced robots that entertain people. B.Designing robots that fit in with their surroundings. C.Producing robots with flexible and lifelike heads D.Combining AI with their existing robot models. 34.Why does the author mention a robot designed by Yuhang Hu and his colleagues? A.To illustrate the usage of the robot. B.To demonstrate the robot's ability to communicate. C.To show AheadForm's progress in robotic research. D.To highlight the founder's remarkable achievements 35.Which of the following would be the best title? A.The Latest Development in Robot Research B.New Robots Use AI to Interact with Human Beings C.Chinese Tech Company Develops a Lifelike Robot Head D.Advanced Humanoid Robots Are Widely Used in Various Fields 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）》 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A new study highlights the importance of grit,which is defined as a strong passion and persistent determination toward long-term goals.36 The study also suggests that other noncognitive(非认知性的)features are important..These are personal qualities not directly tied to intelligence.They also help people reach their objectives. Angela Duckworth,a psychology professor,first gained widespread attention in 2013 with her TED Talk on grit.37 This idea gained further popularity with the 2016 release of her book, Grit:The Power of Passion and Perseverance,which struck a chord(引起共鸣)with diverse audiences. However,some experts have questioned the stress on grit.38 A recent study by Duckworth and her team emphasizes the value of grit while also acknowledging that it is one factor among many.The study followed more than 11,000 cadets()across nine classes at West Point,examining how cognitive ability,physical fitness,and grit influenced outcomes such as academic performance,graduation rates,and completion of the demanding six-week training 39 However,grit proved more influential than either cognitive or physical abilities in determining whether the cadets would complete the training.Furthermore,both grit and physical fitness were better predictors of four-year graduation rates than cognitive ability alone.Duckworth admits that cognitive skills alone are not enough for success and calls for more research into noncognitive factors. Frank Worrell,another psychologist,agrees that these factors are important.But he questions whether grit is the most essential one.He thinks that other qualities like self-efficacy and optimism may be equally important.Duckworth and her co-author,Michael D.Matthews,acknowledge the significance of grit.They also recognize the value of exploring other variables.40. A.It plays a key role in achieving success in life B.They argue that its impact may be overstated. C.Most importantly,grit is the only one we should be paying attention to. D.Duckworth hopes this research will lead to a more balanced view of success. E.Now physical ability is considered to be more influential than cognitive ability. F.The result showed that cognitive ability was a strong predictor of academic achievement. G.Her previous research suggested that grit was a better predictor of success than other factors. 英语试题第6页（共8页） 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） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I'm a volunteer with a community relief organization.We are tasked with 41 those affected by disasters,particularly home fires.

Our arguments started small,but grew bigger every week."Your math grades are dropping. Photography is distracting(使分心)you from what truly matters,”Dad would say,his voice heavy with disappointment.I tried to explain what it meant to me,but he wouldn't listen.The tension reached its peak one Tuesday evening when he saw my recent report card."That's it,he declared,taking away my camera."No more photography until your grade improves."I felt my world was collapsing."You don't understand anything!"I shouted through tears.For the following week,we barely spoke.The house grew cold and silent without our usual conversations. Then everything changed when Mom quietly handed me a flyer for a photography contest titled "The Heart of Home"and encouraged me to sign up for it.Her encouragement brought me new hope.While Dad was at work,I got the camera again and began my secret project.Instead of random shots,I focused on capturing my dad's world.I took pictures of his organized workshop,his favorite coffee mug,even his worn work boots.The most important photo came on Saturday morning.I found him fixing our neighbor's garden fence,his hands moving with skill and care.The morning light transformed the ordinary scene into something beautiful.I quietly took the picture, capturing him not as a strict parent,but as the helpful,capable man I'd always admired,but recently forgotten. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A week before the contest,my heart pounded as I showed my parents the photos I had taken.
