When Paul Cotter’s father, Richard, was 52, he was fired from a large printing company after working there for over 30 years. Before, Richard Cotter was known for his sharp mind. Now, he found it too difficult to deal with the slightest bit of pressure. The next few years, he lost job from job. Everyone assumed it was a crisis of confidence. No one suspected the underlying reason: cognitive decline due to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Then, when Richard Cotter was 58, he was formally diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s. Paul Cotter recalls that his father was horrified by the diagnosis. “But I imagine he also felt some sense of relief,” Paul Cotter said. “Finally, there was an explanation for his decline. And in spite of it all, he still wanted to keep working.”
That’s where Paul Cotter’s unsung hero stepped in. It was the Hidden Brain team. When Cotter’s father applied for a job there, he disclosed (透露) his diagnosis and the limitations that came with it. But still the firm offered him the position — handling small tasks like making copies. “They gave him a paycheck, which made him feel needed and valued,” Cotter said. “But more than just a job, they gave him respect, dignity and a sense of purpose at a time when his life was falling apart.”
The disease continued to progress. Eventually, his father had difficulty keeping his balance, and one day, he fell off a small stepladder. It was clear that it was no longer safe for him to continue working. The company let Cotter’s parents know that with deep regret, it would have to let his father go. On his father’s final day on the job, his colleagues threw him a goodbye party to thank him for his service.
“What a beautiful, remarkable gesture that was,” Cotter said. Cotter’s three brothers and sister still talk about the company’s care for their father. They wish they could tell their father’s colleagues how much that generosity has meant to their family, all these years later.
24. What do we know about Richard from paragraph 1?
A. He used to be considered intelligent. B. He regained confidence in job-hunting.
C. He needed outside assistance to survive. D. He was the oldest worker at the printing company.
25. Which words best describe Richard after his formal diagnosis?
A. Puzzled but energetic. B. Confident and ambitious.
C. Bored and annoyed. D. Scared but relieved.
26. How did the Hidden Brain help Richard?
A. By assigning manageable tasks. B. By offering a well-paid position.
C. By providing post-retirement instructions. D. By working out a new cure for Alzheimer’s.
27. What can we say about the impact of the Hidden Brain on Cotter’s family?
A. Predictable. B. Short-lived. C. Far-reaching. D. Insignificant.
C
When were the “good old days”? Podcaster Jason Feifer devoted an episode to this question in his program, noting many idealize the 1950s. Yet historians confirm that decade was heavy with issues: uncontrolled individualism, racial and class tensions, and nuclear fears. Meanwhile, people in the 1950s thought the good old days were to be found in the 1920s, when experts warned that rising divorce rates then threatened the family. However, those in the 1920s romanticized the Victorian era, when families were strong and children respected their elders.
This kind of nostalgia is sometimes useful — it gives us a sense of stability and predictability — and can also be a source of strength in difficult times. But, why are human beings always so nostalgic for past eras that seemed difficult and dangerous to those who lived through them?
One explanation is that we survived the dangers of the past, so they seem smaller now. In contrast, we can never be certain that we will solve the problems facing us today. Another reason is that historical nostalgia is often coloured by personal nostalgia. When people identify the “good old days”, they frequently fall on the time of their youth, for research shows that we create more memories during adolescence and early adulthood than in any other life period.When we think about the past, this is the period we most often return to.
While some things were genuinely better in the past, our instinctive nostalgia can lead to dangerous consequences. Longing for the past and fearing the future can be a barrier to what drives progress. As inventor William Petty observed, “When a new invention is first put forward, in the beginning every man objects... not one of a hundred (inventor) outlives this torture.” This was true for vaccinations (疫苗) and railroads, which all met strong resistance, just as anxieties now surround innovations like AI.
Not all fears are unfounded; new technologies can cause accidents and disrupt societies. However, the only way to learn how to make the best use of new technologies and reduce their risks is through trial and error. The future will not be perfect, but neither were the good old days.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. People value family relationships.
B. People are ignorant of historic facts.
C. People feel bored with their current life.
D. People tend to remember the past as perfect.
29 Why do “good old days” happen to be the time of people’s youth?
A. It is colored by historical context.
B. We face less problems during youth.
C. It is the most memory-rich stage of life.
D. People have a better memory when young.
30. Why does the author quote William Petty’s words?
A. To prove that fears about innovations are unfounded.
B. To show that opposition to inventions repeats.
C. To stress that inventors often suffer criticism.
D. To imply that nostalgia drives development.
31. What is the author’s attitude to nostalgia for “good old days”?
A. Critical. B. Cautious. C. Dismissive. D. Appreciative.
D
Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’ re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology.
The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger?
The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the nervous system. Initially,the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as safe and controllable,transforming the initial pain into a form of“benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster ride, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure.
Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate.
So, what can you do if the spice becomes overwhelming? Since capsaicin is fat- soluble,water is ineffective because it only spreads the compound. Dairy products like milk or yogurt are far better solutions — the fat and protein in them combine with the capsaicin and carry it away.
32. Why does eating chili peppers give people the burning feeling?
A. Capsaicin briefly hurts taste buds. B. Chilli peppers bring potential danger.
C. Capsaicin triggers the reaction of TRPV1. D. Chilli peppers raise the body’s temperature.
33. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food?
A. Listening to music. B. Smoking cigarettes.
C. Exploring the Antarctic. D. Watching a horror film.
34. What does building a high spice tolerance involve?
A. Conscious efforts. B. Genetic adaptation.
C. Blocking spiciness signals. D. Keeping receptors from responding.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Capsaicin’s Trick: A False Burning Alarm B. The Spice Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain
C. The Body’s Signal: Physical Reactions to Spice D. The Art of Endurance: Building Spice Tolerance

How do we stay motivated once we have committed ourselves to action? ___36___ Here are some tips to help us stay motivated.
Have self-belief
When you are faced with a setback, don’t just let it defeat you. Remember that you have already overcome other obstacles. ___37___ Believing in your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator. You know you can solve the problem facing you because you have done it before.
Setting goals
___38___ The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals. A long-term goal will be the ultimate dream —let’s say, setting up a new business. Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal.
Happiness is a choice
Don’t let problems, difficulties, or setbacks get you down. They are temporary, and with a bit of effort and organization, they will be solved. Choose to stay happy, to be contented, and motivated. Remember that happiness should not be a final goal. ___39___
Keep your motives in mind
Periodically, it is good to step back and take a critical look at what you are doing and why. This will help you to see whether your motives are the same as they were at the start of your venture. ___40___ Doing something for the wrong motives, especially those that fall outside the law, can be a source of much worry and certainly will lead to motivation being affected.
A. You’ll be easier to work with.
B. Self-motivation requires effort.
C. It must be the way you lead your life.
D. Believe in yourself and your abilities.
E. Don’t let motives slip after your failure.
F. Our dreams are usually a bit uncertain and unclear.
G. Motives can change not always for the right reasons.

67. 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。
I was always the kind of person who tried hard to please everyone around me. Whether it was my classmates, teachers, or family members, I went out of my way to make them happy. I would agree to do things I didn’t really want to do, like lending my favorite books that I was still reading to classmates who asked, or sacrificing my own study time to help others with their homework.
One day, my classmate Lily asked me to help her with a difficult math project. The project was due in a week, and it was going to take up a lot of my time. I had my own study plans and a big English test was around the corner, but I couldn’t bring myself to say no. So, I started spending hours every day helping Lily. We worked on the math problems, did research, and prepared the presentation together.
As the days passed, I was getting more and more stressed. I was constantly tired from staying up late to study for my English test after helping Lily. On the day of the English test, I was so sleepy and unfocused that I made a lot of silly mistakes. When the results came out, I got a much lower grade than I had expected. I was devastated (崩溃的).
Lily, on the other hand, got a great grade on the math project and was very happy. She thanked me, but I didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, I felt a sense of resentment (怨恨) building up inside me. I realized that I had put my own needs aside for so long to please others, and it had finally had a negative effect on me.
That evening, I sat in my room, thinking about what had happened. I was tired of always being the one to give in and sacrifice for others. I decided that things had to change.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。

【67题答案】
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The next day at school, another classmate, Tom, came to me with a request. He wanted me to join his group for a history project, which would require a significant amount of my free time. Just a few days ago, I would have immediately said yes without hesitation. But this time, looking at Tom’s expectant face, I summoned up my courage and said, “Tom, I really appreciate you asking me, but I have my own study schedule and personal things to take care of. I’m afraid I can’t join your group.” Tom looked a bit surprised. He tried to persuade me, saying that my ideas would be really helpful for the project. However, I stood my ground and politely declined again.
Paragraph 2:
After firmly saying no to Tom, I felt a strange mix of nervousness and relief. I was nervous because I was worried that Tom might be angry with me or that other classmates would think I was selfish. But at the same time, there was a huge sense of relief. I realized that it was okay to prioritize my own needs. To my surprise, a few days later, Tom came to me again. He said that although he was a bit disappointed at first, he understood my decision. He even thanked me for being honest with him. From then on, I continued to be true to myself. I still helped others when I could, but I no longer over-committed.
