Emily, an 87-year-old woman with silver hair who loved knitting (编织), and Jake, a 27-year-old musician, discovered something they both enjoyed in the most impossible place. Jake worked as a volunteer at the retirement home twice a week. One sunny afternoon, Emily sat in her favourite place in the yard, her knitting needles clicking softly. Nearby, Jake sat on a chair, playing his guitar, deep in thought. The lovely music from his guitar passed softly through the air. Interested in the music, Emily walked over to him. Her smile was as warm as the sun. “You play beautifully, dear,” she said. Jake looked up, surprised by her kind words, and offered a shy smile in return. From that day on, their friendship grew quickly. Emily told stories from her younger days, talking about how popular swing dancing was. Jake, in turn, introduced her to the world of modern music. He played songs that made her feel joyful and want to dance. They spent hours together, teaching and learning from each other. Emily helped Jake work through the troubles of life and love, while he lighted her love for music and adventure. They even started a small knitting and guitar club at the retirement home, bringing joy to the other people there. As the seasons changed, so did their lives. Emily's knitting needles created a colourful scarf for Jake, while Jake wrote a heartfelt song to celebrate their friendship. Their friendship went across age, showing that friendship can last forever. Their heartwarming story became a symbol of hope for everyone who heard it—a sign that the most meaningful connections can be found in the most unexpected places. 24.What brought Emily and Jake together first? A.A music class. B.A birthday party. C.Jake's guitar playing. D.Emily's knitting club. 25.What did Jake do for Emily? A.He taught her to dance. B.He started a music club. C.He wrote a song for her. D.He created a scarf for her. 26.What is the main message of the story? A.Hobbies make life enjoyable. B.Real friendship knows no age. C.Music is a language that bridges ages. D.Life lessons always pass from the old to the young. B If a stranger asks for using your phone, would you help? What if a person wants to borrow thirty yuan for a meal, saying he will return and pay you back later? Some of you may choose to trust them and offer your help. There are two main ideas to explain why some people trust others more easily. One idea says that trust is a lasting quality (特性) which has a relationship with early life experiences. A child who always sees parents keeping promises often trusts others easily. The other idea shows how a person keeps checking their social environment affects (影响) trust. For example, we can easily understand that if someone asks you, “Do you think we can trust most people in the society?” your answer might depend on whether you were stolen yesterday or if someone gave back your lost wallet. However, a new study shows that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social habit—it could be part of our DNA. This is important because the study also found that people who trust others may live longer and healthier lives than those who often question others. This is what recent research explored. Professor Edgerton’s team studied about 34,000 people and discovered a gene called PLPP4 that connects to trust. They discovered PLPP4 explains 6% of trust differences between people with similar life experiences. Genes work like biological rules and this gene changes how our brain acts around strangers. Scientists believe PLPP4 may work by changing our brain’s danger warning system. Usually, meeting strangers wakes up this system automatically (自动地), making us ready to run away or fight. But PLPP4 seems to take the sting out of this alarm, making us feel calmer around new people. This biological difference helps explain why some people naturally trust more easily than others. This genetic effect could benefit health. When our brain’s alarm system stays calm, we experience less stress. Since long—term stress harms the heart, this natural trust through PLPP4 might reduce (减少) the risks of heart disease. Understanding how genes shape trust could help build healthier communities worldwide. 27. What might affect people’s trust according to the two main ideas? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Life experiences. D. Communication skills 28. The words “take the sting out of this alarm” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “______” A. turn off the safety system B. get out of the difficult situation C. increase the level of danger D. reduce the feeling of being afraid 29. The writer probably agrees that ______. A. people with the PLPP4 gene are more likely to help strangers B. similar life experiences play an important role in shaping trust C. the PLPP4 gene influences trust more than social environment D. less active danger warning system makes it harder to trust others 30. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To compare different opinions on how trust is formed. B. To show the advantages of trusting others in daily life. C. To explain why some people find it hard to trust strangers. D. To present a new study on how genes affect trust and health. C Common sense means the basic understanding and knowledge that we believe most people have. This shows up in everyday situations like following traffic rules: people on foot naturally avoid stepping into traffic, while drivers seldom drive on sidewalks to ensure safety. Although common sense seems to be everywhere, do all people share commonsense beliefs about everything? And how “common” is common sense among different social groups? “We all think we share common sense,” said Professor Duncan Watts from the University of Pennsylvania." However, we seldom make clear which of our beliefs match common sense or who else agrees with us. "To deal with the challenge of understanding common sense, Watts and his research partner, Mark Whiting, studied it on two levels. First, on an individual level, they checked how much people agreed on certain ideas and whether they knew others agreed too. Second, on a group level, they came up with the “pq common sense” framework. It's a new way to see what percentage of people (p)agree on how many ideas (q). They tested this “pq”framework. They got 4,607 ideas from different places and asked 2,046 people. The results were surprising. Hardly any ideas were agreed on by everyone. Only a small number of ideas met the strict “perfect common sense” rule. Even when they made the rule looser (松的), not many ideas had a lot of agreements. What's unique is that when they needed more ideas to be agreed on,the number of people agreeing dropped sharply. Big groups had far fewer shared ideas. The study also found that individual differences in commonsensicality(常识性)mainly relate to the ability to understand others’ thoughts. However, age, gender and other factors don't affect it. In other words, common sense is shaped by personal views, not as “common” as we think. The researchers believe that expanding(扩大)their research worldwide would be a next step. Their further interest lies in studying common sense across various cultures and societies. They're also interested in creating ways to measure common sense using AI systems, which could help AI better understand human contexts and develop its decision-making skills. 31.What can we learn from the passage about the study? A.Common sense has little link to individual preference. B.Everyone understands common sense in the same way. C.Commonsensicality relates to personal age and gender. D.Very few common-sense beliefs are agreed on by all. 32.What might be the researchers’ further study according to the passage? A.To create more reasonable traffic rules based on common sense. B.To explore common sense among different cultures and societies. C.To teach people to better understand others’ commonsensicality. D.To create new AI systems to develop human decision-making skills. 33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Common Sense: Less Common than We Think B.The“pq”Framework: Measuring Social Beliefs C.AI &Common Sense:A New Research Direction D.Commonsensicality: Shaping Individual Differences 四、阅读表达（34-36题每小题各2分，37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Staying productive during school breaks can be a game-changer for teens. While rest is necessary, an unorganized break can lead to boredom and a shortage of fulfillment (成就感). Instead, balancing relaxation with productive activities can help teens make the most of their time off. In this guide, we will explore some ways teens can achieve the balance during their breaks, ensuring they return to school refreshed and ready to shine. Setting Goals and Planning One of the first steps to staying productive during a school break is setting clear and achievable goals. Goals give direction and purpose to daily activities. Creating a daily timetable is useful. A timetable can help teens organize their days by allowing them to set different periods for different activities. Using tools like planners or digital apps can make it easier to stay organized and record progress. Regularly reflecting（反思）on what has been achieved can be motivating. Teens should take time at the end of each day or week to review their progress and celebrate their achievements. Reflection helps teens not only build confidence but also make some changes to their plans. Academic（学业的）Activities Reading is a powerful way to stay productive while enlarging knowledge and improving skills. Teens can choose a variety of reading materials to keep their minds active. Writing is another excellent way to stay productive and express creativity. Teens can keep diaries, write short stories, or even start a blog. Personal Development Learning new skills can be both exciting and productive. Whether it's cooking or public speaking, it prepares teens for future challenges. Staying physically active is important for overall well-being. Teens can join a sports team or explore the outdoors, which can lead to a healthy lifestyle. Volunteer work in the community can be highly rewarding（有益的）. It not only positively influences the community, but also helps teens develop a sense of responsibility. Relaxation and Self-Care Relaxation and self-care are very important. Practicing mindfulness, taking care of mental health and enjoying leisure（娱乐）activities can help teens get refreshed. Balancing relaxation with productive activities is key to a fulfilling break. Encourage teens to listen to their needs and better their timetables accordingly, ensuring they have time for both productive tasks and leisure. 34.
