On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds. Fat Bear Week started in 2014. At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams (网络摄像头) showing the bears received a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people took part, turning it into a global campaign. The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore,” Fitz said. Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon (三文鱼) in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far. Fat Bear Week has spread like a wild fire. Fans and creators say it is a successful story of wildlife protection. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change. “Maybe things aren’t great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, a Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.” 24.Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week? A. It was the heaviest. B. It gained the most pounds. C. It looked the most attractive. D. It ate the healthiest salmon. 25.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The history of Fat Bear Week. B. The leadership of Mike Fitz. C. The influence of online voting. D. The function of live webcams. 26.What can we learn about the bears of Katmai? A. They bring tourists to Alaska. B. They face a population decrease. C. They like to fish in warm rivers. D. They enjoy a healthy food source. 27.What is Felicia Jimenez’s attitude towards the Fat Bear Week? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Uninterested. C Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you’ve experienced anything like this, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be tricky. People often misread what inviters want to hear and overestimate (高估) their preference for a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Naturally, we want to figure out the psychology (心理学) behind such awkward social situations. We’ve found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when people understand information in their own way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees believe that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative result of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters. However, there are certain situations that make people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When invitees put themselves in the shoes of the inviters, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a clear answer. When people are invited to do something they don’t want to do, they have no desire to keep their options open. While dealing with social situations can be tricky, being direct is sometimes the best. It might reduce your options. But it will keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 28.Why does the author mention “the concert” in Paragraph 1? A. To share a personal social experience. B. To introduce a common social situation. C. To stress the importance of quick replies. D. To explain the background of invitations. 29.People’s response “maybe” to invitations is mainly due to A. an underestimation of refusal results B. a lack of honesty and respect for inviters C. a failure to understand inviters’ psychology D. a misunderstanding of invitation information 30.What does the author seem to express in the last paragraph? A. Think twice before refusing an invitation. B. Communicate regularly to keep the peace. C. Accept invitations to avoid disappointment. D. Respond clearly instead of keeping options open. 31.What is the best title for the text? A. Why “maybe” is not a wise choice B. How “maybe” harms our friendships C. The power of saying “no” to invitations D. “Maybe”: a smart solution to invitations D Does studying philosophy (哲学) really make people better thinkers? To test this claim, as researchers, we looked at data from more than 600,000 US college graduates, compared philosophy students with those in every other field, and published our findings in the Journal of the American Philosophical Association. The results were clear. By the end of their senior year, philosophy students did much better than all other students on tests of language and logical reasoning (逻辑推理). They also reported stronger virtues, including curiosity and open-mindedness. Why does philosophy have such an effect? Different from many fields that focus on specific knowledge, philosophy is best understood as a method of research. It asks questions about human life and the universe and then tests possible answers. Doing philosophy means building logical reasoning, recognizing hidden assumptions (假设), and arriving at their often surprising conclusions. These habits of mind enable students to think more clearly and carefully from different aspects. This benefit matters far beyond the classroom. At a time when public trust in higher education is at historic lows and AI is reshaping the workplace, the need for critical thinking has never been greater. AI can generate (生成) information quickly, but it cannot decide what is true or meaningful. If we humans don’t examine AI-generated information, our life is at risk. Our research does not claim that philosophy alone guarantees wisdom or moral virtue. Intellectual (智力上的) skills can be used for selfish purposes as well as for justice. But the evidence showed that studying philosophy helps us develop habits of thought that are measurable and lasting. It gives students the tools to question assumptions, face uncertainty, and make thoughtful choices in an ever-changing world. In short, philosophy is not beyond us—it is a necessity. It trains the mind, strengthens judgment, and prepares people to meet future challenges with courage. 32.How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By interviewing philosophy students. B. By reviewing earlier studies. C. By comparing data of graduates. D. By analyzing graduates’ behavior. 33.What makes philosophy students better thinkers, according to Paragraph 3? A. Their thirst for knowledge. B. Their curiosity for mysteries. C. Their critical thinking skills. D. Their language and logical training. 34.Why does philosophy matter in today’s world? A. It is changing the workplace worldwide. B. It gives us wisdom and a sense of justice. C. It better prepares us for complex realities. D. It helps rebuild public trust in higher education. 35.What can we infer from the text? A. Philosophy matters more than AI in modern society. B. Philosophy students are the smartest among graduates. C. Philosophy students adapt well to the changing workplace. D. We need to study some philosophy to face the uncertain future. 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。 Nowadays, we all want to achieve more, yet often overlook the quality of our experiences. We fill our hours with tasks, yet frequently feel distracted (分心的) or unsatisfied. What if the key to a more satisfying life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? 36 Activities actually can be divided into different types. Understanding each type helps make better choices. Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them in advance. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello. 37 One of the biggest misunderstandings about fun is that it has to be some big event. In truth, it often comes from these smaller, everyday pleasures. 38 They might seem difficult at first, but they match with your values and give you a real sense of meaning. It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone. Such experiences take more effort than pleasing activities, but often help us feel more alive. Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. 39 Or you watch television aimlessly. These activities can be harmless ways to relax. But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences. Once you’ve decided to better spend your time, try making one small change each day. Choose a pleasing or living activity, like a short walk, or something new that matches with your values. 40 A. Try to change how you handle these activities. B. Living activities are the activities that help you grow. C. For example, you scan through social media mindlessly. D. Unbearable activities are the things that make you tired. E. The goal is to replace distracted moments with focused ones. F. This begins by recognizing that not all activities affect us equally. G. These are simple joys that don’t require much but offer true rewards. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One afternoon, as I was discussing life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel anxious?” he asked.
