Mark Levine, a 77-year-old American professor, has spent nearly twenty years living and working in China. On teaching days, he leaves his apartment in Beijing’s Haidian District before sunrise and travels over thirty kilometers to Minzu University’s Fengtai campus. Although he moves slowly, he maintains an active schedule, balancing his work as a teacher, writer, and musician. Levine often explains that these roles help him stay connected to the society he regards as home.
His interest in China began while he was working for a U.S. labor organization dedicated to improving conditions for low-income workers. As a sociologist, he examined how different countries addressed social inequality and was particularly impressed by China’s progress. Later, a job offer from a college in Huai’an convinced him to take a decisive step and begin a new chapter.
He still remembers his first evening in Huai’an, when the streets were crowded with bicycles, a scene that signaled how different his new environment would be. Over the years, he traveled to every provincial-level region in China and delivered lectures at more than eighty universities.
In 2007, Levine moved to Beijing. His small apartment is filled with plants, guitars, books about China, and souvenirs from his travels — items that record the life he has built on his own. Although his family lives far away, he insists that he does not feel lonely, largely because of the friendships he has formed with colleagues, neighbors, and students.
A key moment in his life came when he met Fu Han, a piano teacher who later became his musical partner. Hoping to present a more complete picture of China to the world, they began writing songs together. A spring festival he spent with her family in rural Hubei left him particularly moved and inspired one of his songs about the warmth he experienced there.
In 2016, Levine received Chinese permanent residence, which strengthened his sense of belonging. Today, well known in his neighborhood, he is often greeted by children who call him “Grandpa Santa.”
24. Why did Levine move to China at first?
A. To take up a post. B. To further his study.
C. To find a well-paid job. D. To explore a college.
25. How does Levine mainly keep loneliness away while living far from his family?
A. By writing songs about home. B. By traveling to various places.
C. By occupying himself in work. D. By building social connections.
26. What does Levine’s cooperation with Fu Han imply?
A. It encouraged him to pursue music full time.
B. It pushed him to learn traditional instruments.
C. It helped him become an established performer.
D. It allowed him to share local stories effectively.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A sociologist’s fight for workers. B. A foreigner’s life rooted in China.
C. A foreign teacher’s route to fame. D. A professor’s music achievements.
C
As the holiday season approaches, products featuring artificial intelligence are raising alarms among child safety advocates. Consumer groups warn that AI-powered toys may endanger children’s well-being due to insufficient regulation and research, urging demands for stricter oversight.
“These toys lack evidence of benefits for kids, face zero AI regulation, and their marketing creates serious risks,” said Rachel Franz of Fairplay, a tech watchdog. The concerns intensified after a Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) investigation revealed an AI teddy bear named Olly’s Kumquat could discuss sensitive topics despite being marketed as a “relationship enhancer.” “I was shocked by how openly it addressed inappropriate content,” reported PIRG’s Teresa Murray.
Before the report, parents, technology researchers and lawmakers had already raised concerns about the impact of bots on minors’ mental health. Experts highlight that children may form emotional bonds with bots without realizing they are not human. “Kids might expect unconditional support or prefer bots over real relationships,” warned Jacqueline Woolley of the University of Texas. Companies also collect children’s data without transparency (透明), increasing privacy risks.“Children may share deeply personal thoughts with toys lacking security measures,” said Franz.
While acknowledging potential educational uses — like language learning — advocates urge caution. “AI toys shouldn’t be banned, but must prove safety through research before remaining on shelves,” Franz insisted.
Following PIRG’s report, OllyAI halted production of the bear toys for a safety review. Meanwhile, 80 organizations, including Fairplay, advised families to avoid AI toys this season, emphasizing that traditional offline toys have well-documented benefits without the risks created by AI.
Toy manufacturers responded defensively. Curro, maker of The Grotto, promised to investigate concerns while ensuring child safety. Mattel clarified its OpenAI products target “families and older audiences,” banning users under 13 and stressing AI as a “supplement, not replacement” for traditional play. Yet Franz questioned Mattel’s safeguards: “How will they prevent kids from accessing these products?”
As AI integration expands in children’s products, the debate centers on balancing innovation with protection. Until studies confirm safety and ethical standards, critics argue caution — not convenience — should guide holiday gift choices.
28 What problem did the PIRG investigation find about the AI teddy bear?
A. It promoted inappropriate physical activities for children.
B. It failed to function properly during standard safety tests.
C. It was found to be collecting personal financial information.
D. It addressed subjects that differed from its intended function.
29. What does paragraph 3 focus on?
A. The potential risks of traditional toys.
B. The dangers AI toys might bring to kids.
C. The lack of safety in most children’s toys.
D. The way AI toys replace real friends for kids.
30. What does the underlined word “halted” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Suspended. B. Ignored. C. Opposed. D. Expanded.
31. What can be inferred from Mattel’s statement about its AI products?
A. They plan to replace its traditional toys.
B. They position AI as an optional addition.
C. They admit AI toys cannot be educational.
D. They believe the age restrictions are reliable.
D
The human capacity for rational (理性的) thinking makes us unique among the animal kingdom, according to wise, old Aristotle. However, a growing body of research suggests that rationality might not be quite as distinctive a human quality as we might have thought.
In a recent study, researchers at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda presented chimps (黑猩猩) with two boxes: one with food and one without a snack. They were initially given a clue as to which one had food. The team then provided the chimps with sequential (顺序的) clues of varying strength about which one contained a snack.
“When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study.
Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. Researchers typically associate this sort of reasoning with children around four years old.
“Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. Metacognition is awareness and understanding about our thinking processes. “They not only adjusted their choices, but did so in ways that suggest they tracked the evidential basis of their beliefs; when earlier evidence was defeated, they revised their belief accordingly,” she explains. These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed.
“Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. By identifying which aspects of rationality humans share with chimps and which are unique to us, researchers can better recognize which develop early in children, which depend on culture, and which rely on uniquely human forms of social learning. She adds that the study is important for animal conservation and welfare because it further justifies the protection of great chimps, the increased moral standards in research and conservation, and the creation of more cognitively (认知上) stimulating habitats in reserves and zoos.
32. What can be inferred about the chimps’ behavior in the experiment?
A. They could ignore strong initial evidence.
B. They preferred whichever box looked larger.
C. They based decisions on weighing of evidence.
D. They chose randomly when clues were unclear.
33. Why did the researchers use computer models in the study?
A. To copy the chimps’ learning process.
B. To predict which box the chimps would choose.
C. To compare the chimps’ behavior with that of kids.
D. To confirm the chimps used rational belief revision.
34. What does Schleihauf think of the study findings?
A. They are less reliable than expected.
B. They show limited progress in this field.
C. They fail to explain the chimps’ behavior.
D. They reveal impressive abilities in chimps.
35. What does the last paragraph stress about the study?
A. Its practical implications. B. Its historical context.
C. Its experimental approach. D. Its potential limitations.

We are living through a sustained mental-health crisis. Anxiety, depression, and burnout have reached levels unseen in modern surveys, and the effects are spreading through workplaces, classrooms, and homes. ___36___ But sometimes, moments of peace come in unexpected ways. Every Thanksgiving, when families gather to share what they’re grateful for, something powerful happens in the brain. The simple act of giving thanks changes how we feel, how we think, and even how our brains work.
___37___ Social media floods our minds with images that cause envy and self-doubt, keeping our nervous systems in a chronic (长期的) state of stress. However, the solution isn’t complicated. Gratitude is the simple key that can help calm the chaos inside us.
When we focus on what’s right in our lives instead of what’s wrong, we quiet the emotional centers of the brain and strengthen the judgment and decision-making areas. ___38___ Research has found that people who regularly express thankfulness are physically healthier, more optimistic, and better at achieving their goals. They sleep better, experience less stress, and enjoy deeper relationships.
That’s not because they say “thank you” more often, it’s because they live with a mindset of appreciation. Gratitude isn’t just good manners; it’s good neuroscience. ___39___ It reminds us that even in hardship, there’s something to be thankful for.
Like all good habits, this doesn’t happen overnight. Gratitude is something we cultivate (培养) one intentional practice at a time. That might mean unplugging for a few hours to rest and reset, journaling about what went right in your day, or taking a moment to tell someone you appreciate them. ___40___
A. It’s important to set aside time for self-reflection.
B. For many, these struggles can feel overwhelming.

A Ray of Light
Emma had never liked the old community library. Its old lights and dusty shelves made her feel as if she were stepping into a forgotten world. Yet that rainy Thursday afternoon, she had no choice but to go there. Her group project was due the next day, and she still needed several references that could only be found in the library’s archive (档案) room.
As she shook off the rainwater and walked inside, she heard a low voice coming from behind the front desk. It belonged to Mr Harris, the elderly librarian who had worked there longer than anyone could remember. He looked pale and tired, but when he saw Emma, he forced a gentle smile. “The archive room is open today. Just be careful — the lights have been flickering (闪烁) again.”
Emma nodded, though she felt a slight sense of unease. The library was unusually quiet, with only the sound of the storm tapping against the windows. She headed toward the archive room and began searching through the shelves. Minutes turned into an hour. She finally found the last book she needed, but as she turned to leave, the lights went out completely.
A wave of darkness swallowed the room. Emma froze. She took a step forward but hit a shelf. Panic rose in her chest. She reached for her phone, only to realize the battery had died earlier. Just then, she heard something — a cough. A weak one. “Mr Harris?” she called.
No answer.
Then she moved slowly through the dark hallway, feeling her way along the wall. The storm outside grew louder. After several tense moments, she spotted a faint light ahead. It was the emergency light above the front desk.
Under it lay Mr Harris. He had collapsed (倒下) on the floor. “Sir!” Emma rushed to him. His breathing was shallow, and his hands were icy cold. Her heart beat fast. She remembered he lived alone and had no family nearby. She had to act quickly. But the storm had knocked out the power — and likely the phone lines.
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。
Emma pushed aside her fear and ran outside.

W: First, it’s Rebecca from Manchester. She wrote, “It’s shocking that only around 61% of plastic bottles are recycled in the UK. The rest are thrown away. It takes about 450 years for a plastic bottle to break down in the earth. Single-use plastic bottles are bad for the environment. Therefore, shops should stop selling bottled water.”
M: Jane from London held the opposite view. She mentioned she enjoyed the convenience of bottled water.
W: Allen from Leeds agreed with Jane. He also said without the convenience of plastic bottles, people would drink less water and turn to unhealthy drinks instead.
M: True, but another listener Jasper noted that we have top-quality tap water in the UK. Boiled tap water is more cost-effective than bottled water.
W: And George from Sheffield warned that some plastic bottles may contain harmful chemicals that might harm people’s health...

A. She regretted it. B. She felt relieved. C. She was angry with herself.
【答案】17. C 18. C 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: According to relationship experts, cutting ties with a close friend can be as painful as ending a marriage. Krystle Dulas, a sales representative at a toy company, has been experiencing that pain recently. When Ms Dulas’ close friend left their city for a long cross-country road trip in 2022, they promised to stay in touch. But as life got busier, their long telephone conversations slowly disappeared. In January, when she saw on social media that her friend visited home without seeing her, Ms Dulas felt confused and hurt. She asked her friend about the visit, but she only got a short and very cool reply. They haven’t spoken since. “I felt as if I’d been casually abandoned by someone I’d been close to for nearly five years,” said Ms Dulas. “Such break-ups represent an unrecognized kind of sadness,” said Beverley Fehr, a social psychologist. “If someone goes through the death of a family member, there’s generally support for the person, or at least an acknowledgement of the pain they are experiencing. That tends not to happen so much in friendships,” Dr. Fehr added. In some cases, ending a friendship can bring peace of mind. Ellina Rabbat, a public servant in Vancouver, ended her on-again, off-again friendship with Antonia last year. Telling Antonia directly that she didn’t wish to continue the unstable friendship was a great weight off her shoulders. Whether you’re the one ending the friendship or experiencing its end, it’s important to treat yourself with kindness.

Mark Levine, a 77-year-old American professor, has spent nearly twenty years living and working in China. On teaching days, he leaves his apartment in Beijing’s Haidian District before sunrise and travels over thirty kilometers to Minzu University’s Fengtai campus. Although he moves slowly, he maintains an active schedule, balancing his work as a teacher, writer, and musician. Levine often explains that these roles help him stay connected to the society he regards as home.
His interest in China began while he was working for a U.S. labor organization dedicated to improving conditions for low-income workers. As a sociologist, he examined how different countries addressed social inequality and was particularly impressed by China’s progress. Later, a job offer from a college in Huai’an convinced him to take a decisive step and begin a new chapter.
He still remembers his first evening in Huai’an, when the streets were crowded with bicycles, a scene that signaled how different his new environment would be. Over the years, he traveled to every provincial-level region in China and delivered lectures at more than eighty universities.
In 2007, Levine moved to Beijing. His small apartment is filled with plants, guitars, books about China, and souvenirs from his travels — items that record the life he has built on his own. Although his family lives far away, he insists that he does not feel lonely, largely because of the friendships he has formed with colleagues, neighbors, and students.
A key moment in his life came when he met Fu Han, a piano teacher who later became his musical partner. Hoping to present a more complete picture of China to the world, they began writing songs together. A spring festival he spent with her family in rural Hubei left him particularly moved and inspired one of his songs about the warmth he experienced there.
In 2016, Levine received Chinese permanent residence, which strengthened his sense of belonging. Today, well known in his neighborhood, he is often greeted by children who call him “Grandpa Santa.”
24. Why did Levine move to China at first?
A. To take up a post. B. To further his study.
C. To find a well-paid job. D. To explore a college.
25. How does Levine mainly keep loneliness away while living far from his family?
A. By writing songs about home. B. By traveling to various places.
C. By occupying himself in work. D. By building social connections.
26. What does Levine’s cooperation with Fu Han imply?
A. It encouraged him to pursue music full time.
B. It pushed him to learn traditional instruments.
C. It helped him become an established performer.
D. It allowed him to share local stories effectively.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A sociologist’s fight for workers. B. A foreigner’s life rooted in China.
C A foreign teacher’s route to fame. D. A professor’s music achievements.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B

As the holiday season approaches, products featuring artificial intelligence are raising alarms among child safety advocates. Consumer groups warn that AI-powered toys may endanger children’s well-being due to insufficient regulation and research, urging demands for stricter oversight.
“These toys lack evidence of benefits for kids, face zero AI regulation, and their marketing creates serious risks,” said Rachel Franz of Fairplay, a tech watchdog. The concerns intensified after a Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) investigation revealed an AI teddy bear named Olly’s Kumquat could discuss sensitive topics despite being marketed as a “relationship enhancer.” “I was shocked by how openly it addressed inappropriate content,” reported PIRG’s Teresa Murray.
Before the report, parents, technology researchers and lawmakers had already raised concerns about the impact of bots on minors’ mental health. Experts highlight that children may form emotional bonds with bots without realizing they are not human. “Kids might expect unconditional support or prefer bots over real relationships,” warned Jacqueline Woolley of the University of Texas. Companies also collect children’s data without transparency (透明), increasing privacy risks.“Children may share deeply personal thoughts with toys lacking security measures,” said Franz.
While acknowledging potential educational uses — like language learning — advocates urge caution. “AI toys shouldn’t be banned, but must prove safety through research before remaining on shelves,” Franz insisted.
Following PIRG’s report, OllyAI halted production of the bear toys for a safety review. Meanwhile, 80 organizations, including Fairplay, advised families to avoid AI toys this season, emphasizing that traditional offline toys have well-documented benefits without the risks created by AI.
Toy manufacturers responded defensively. Curro, maker of The Grotto, promised to investigate concerns while ensuring child safety. Mattel clarified its OpenAI products target “families and older audiences,” banning users under 13 and stressing AI as a “supplement, not replacement” for traditional play. Yet Franz questioned Mattel’s safeguards: “How will they prevent kids from accessing these products?”
As AI integration expands in children’s products, the debate centers on balancing innovation with protection. Until studies confirm safety and ethical standards, critics argue caution — not convenience — should guide holiday gift choices.
28. What problem did the PIRG investigation find about the AI teddy bear?
A. It promoted inappropriate physical activities for children.
B. It failed to function properly during standard safety tests.
C. It was found to be collecting personal financial information.
D. It addressed subjects that differed from its intended function.
29. What does paragraph 3 focus on?
A. The potential risks of traditional toys.
B. The dangers AI toys might bring to kids.
C. The lack of safety in most children’s toys.
D. The way AI toys replace real friends for kids.
30. What does the underlined word “halted” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Suspended. B. Ignored. C. Opposed. D. Expanded.
31. What can be inferred from Mattel’s statement about its AI products?
A. They plan to replace its traditional toys.
B. They position AI as an optional addition.
C. They admit AI toys cannot be educational.
D. They believe the age restrictions are reliable.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了随着假期临近,人工智能玩具引发安全担忧,各方就此展开讨论并提出观点 。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The concerns intensified after a Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) investigation revealed an AI teddy bear named Olly’s Kumquat could discuss sensitive topics despite being marketed as a “relationship enhancer.” (公众利益研究小组(PIRG)的一项调查加剧了人们的担忧,该调查显示,一款名为奥利金橘(Olly’s Kumquat)的人工智能泰迪熊尽管被宣传为“增进关系的工具”,但却能讨论敏感话题。)”可知,这款人工智能泰迪熊讨论的话题与其预期功能不符。故选D。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Experts highlight that children may form emotional bonds with bots without realizing they are not human. (专家强调,儿童可能会与机器人建立情感联结,却没有意识到它们并非人类。)”和“Companies also collect children’s data without transparency (透明), increasing privacy risks. (企业还会不透明地收集儿童数据,增加了隐私风险。)”可知,本段主要讲述了人工智能玩具可能给孩子带来的危险。故选B。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Following PIRG’s report, OllyAI halted production of the bear toys for a safety review. (在PIRG的报告发布后,奥利人工智能公司暂停了熊玩具的生产,以进行安全审查。)”可知,为了进行安全审查,奥利人工智能公司暂停了熊玩具的生产,“halted”意思是“暂停”,与“Suspended”意思相近。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Mattel clarified its OpenAI products target “families and older audiences,” banning users under 13 and stressing AI as a “supplement, not replacement” for traditional play. (美泰公司澄清,其OpenAI产品针对的是“家庭和年长观众”,禁止13岁以下用户使用,并强调人工智能是传统游戏的“补充,而非替代”。)”可知,美泰公司认为人工智能是传统游戏的补充,即作为一种可选的附加项。故选B。
D
The human capacity for rational (理性的) thinking makes us unique among the animal kingdom, according to wise, old Aristotle. However, a growing body of research suggests that rationality might not be quite as distinctive a human quality as we might have thought.
In a recent study, researchers at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda presented chimps (黑猩猩) with two boxes: one with food and one without a snack. They were initially given a clue as to which one had food. The team then provided the chimps with sequential (顺序的) clues of varying strength about which one contained a snack.
“When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study.
Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. Researchers typically associate this sort of reasoning with children around four years old.
“Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. Metacognition is awareness and understanding about our thinking processes. “They not only adjusted their choices, but did so in ways that suggest they tracked the evidential basis of their beliefs; when earlier evidence was defeated, they revised their belief accordingly,” she explains. These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed.
“Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. By identifying which aspects of rationality humans share with chimps and which are unique to us, researchers can better recognize which develop early in children, which depend on culture, and which rely on uniquely human forms of social learning.

【解析】
【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于黑猩猩认知能力的研究,挑战了人类理性思维独特性的传统观点,并探讨了该研究在理解人类推理进化以及动物保护方面的意义。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““When the initial evidence was strong, the chimps stuck with their original choice; when the new evidence clearly outweighed the first, they switched their choice,” says Hanna Schleihauf, a co-author of the study. (该研究的合著者汉娜·施莱豪夫(Hanna Schleihauf)说道,“当初始证据足够有力时,黑猩猩会坚持它们最初的选择;而当新证据明显优于最初证据时,它们会改变自己的选择。”)”可知,黑猩猩的选择行为会根据新旧证据的强弱进行权衡后做出决策。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“Her team also incorporated computer models to demonstrate that the chimps’ responses matched up with rational strategies of belief revision, ensuring they engaged in genuine reasoning rather than merely favoring the most recent evidence. (她的团队还结合了计算机模型,以证明黑猩猩的反应与理性的信念修正策略相符,确保它们进行的是真正的推理,而不仅仅是偏信最近的证据。)”可知,研究者使用计算机模型是为了验证并确认黑猩猩的行为确实符合理性信念修正的模式。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段第一句““Most strikingly, the chimps also showed metacognitive sensitivity to evidence,” Schleihauf continued. (施莱豪夫(Schleihauf)进一步说道,“最引人注目的是,黑猩猩还表现出对证据的元认知敏感性。”)”以及最后一句“These findings suggest that chimps’ reasoning is more similar to ours than previously believed. (这些发现表明,黑猩猩的推理能力比我们之前认为的更接近我们。)”可以推知,施莱豪夫(Schleihauf)认为研究结果揭示了黑猩猩令人印象深刻的高层次认知能力。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句““Demonstrating rational belief revision in chimps provides a powerful comparative baseline for understanding the evolution of human reasoning,” said Schleihauf. (施莱豪夫(Schleihauf)说,“在黑猩猩身上证明理性信念修正,为理解人类推理的进化提供了一个强有力的比较基线。”)”以及最后一句“She adds that the study is important for animal conservation and welfare because it further justifies the protection of great chimps, the increased moral standards in research and conservation, and the creation of more cognitively stimulating habitats in reserves and zoos. (她补充说,这项研究对动物保护和福利很重要,因为它进一步证明了保护黑猩猩的合理性,提高了研究和保护中的道德标准,并呼吁在保护区和动物园创造更多能激发认知的环境。)”可知,该段落着重强调了这项研究在理解人类自身以及动物保护实践方面的实际意义和价值。故选A项。

We are living through a sustained mental-health crisis. Anxiety, depression, and burnout have reached levels unseen in modern surveys, and the effects are spreading through workplaces, classrooms, and homes. ___36___ But sometimes, moments of peace come in unexpected ways. Every Thanksgiving, when families gather to share what they’re grateful for, something powerful happens in the brain. The simple act of giving thanks changes how we feel, how we think, and even how our brains work.
___37___ Social media floods our minds with images that cause envy and self-doubt, keeping our nervous systems in a chronic (长期的) state of stress. However, the solution isn’t complicated. Gratitude is the simple key that can help calm the chaos inside us.
When we focus on what’s right in our lives instead of what’s wrong, we quiet the emotional centers of the brain and strengthen the judgment and decision-making areas. ___38___ Research has found that people who regularly express thankfulness are physically healthier, more optimistic, and better at achieving their goals. They sleep better, experience less stress, and enjoy deeper relationships.
That’s not because they say “thank you” more often, it’s because they live with a mindset of appreciation. Gratitude isn’t just good manners; it’s good neuroscience. ___39___ It reminds us that even in hardship, there’s something to be thankful for.
Like all good habits, this doesn’t happen overnight. Gratitude is something we cultivate (培养) one intentional practice at a time. That might mean unplugging for a few hours to rest and reset, journaling about what went right in your day, or taking a moment to tell someone you appreciate them. ___40___
A. It’s important to set aside time for self-reflection.
B. For many, these struggles can feel overwhelming.
C. In other words, gratitude helps balance our brains.
D. These small acts retrain your brain toward positivity.

A Ray of Light
Emma had never liked the old community library. Its old lights and dusty shelves made her feel as if she were stepping into a forgotten world. Yet that rainy Thursday afternoon, she had no choice but to go there. Her group project was due the next day, and she still needed several references that could only be found in the library’s archive (档案) room.
As she shook off the rainwater and walked inside, she heard a low voice coming from behind the front desk. It belonged to Mr Harris, the elderly librarian who had worked there longer than anyone could remember. He looked pale and tired, but when he saw Emma, he forced a gentle smile. “The archive room is open today. Just be careful — the lights have been flickering (闪烁) again.”
Emma nodded, though she felt a slight sense of unease. The library was unusually quiet, with only the sound of the storm tapping against the windows. She headed toward the archive room and began searching through the shelves. Minutes turned into an hour. She finally found the last book she needed, but as she turned to leave, the lights went out completely.
A wave of darkness swallowed the room. Emma froze. She took a step forward but hit a shelf. Panic rose in her chest. She reached for her phone, only to realize the battery had died earlier. Just then, she heard something — a cough. A weak one. “Mr Harris?” she called.
No answer.
Then she moved slowly through the dark hallway, feeling her way along the wall. The storm outside grew louder. After several tense moments, she spotted a faint light ahead. It was the emergency light above the front desk.
Under it lay Mr Harris. He had collapsed (倒下) on the floor. “Sir!” Emma rushed to him. His breathing was shallow, and his hands were icy cold. Her heart beat fast. She remembered he lived alone and had no family nearby. She had to act quickly. But the storm had knocked out the power — and likely the phone lines.
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。
Emma pushed aside her fear and ran outside.

After thanking the clerk, Emma returned from the convenience store.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Emma pushed aside her fear and ran outside. Cold rain beat against her face, but she kept running, her shoes splashing through shallow puddles as she searched for help. The streets were nearly empty because of the storm, and every second felt painfully long. When she finally reached the convenience store two blocks away, she rushed inside and asked the clerk to call an ambulance. The clerk immediately dialed the number, and Emma anxiously repeated the library’s address, hoping the rescuers would arrive in time. She thanked the clerk before hurrying back into the storm.
After thanking the clerk, Emma returned from the convenience store. Her clothes were soaked again, but relief washed over her when she saw the flashing lights of the ambulance already parked outside the library. The paramedics were lifting Mr Harris onto a stretcher, working quickly and gently. Emma followed them, her heart tight with worry, until Mr Harris opened his eyes and offered a faint smile. His whisper — soft but sincere — told her he would be all right. Watching the ambulance leave, Emma felt a quiet warmth spreading through her, knowing that courage and kindness had lit up the darkest moment.
