Not noticing the coffee growing cold on her desk, she has been fully absorbed in weaving words into sentences, thought flowing smoothly. When finally pausing, she feels a quiet sense of fulfillment, her mind and hands in perfect harmony. This is flow, a state of complete absorption, long studied by psychologists, yet still an understated life pleasure. Flow, coined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, describes full engagement in an activity where challenge and skill meet in delicate balance. It is not excitement but a calm, focused presence where distractions fade away, and the self disappears into a task. Mihaly interviewed artists, athletes, scientists, and the average people about their most meaningful experiences, and they described this state of effortless concentration — whether painting, solving a math problem, playing an instrument, or even cooking a meal. What makes flow accessible is its reliance on simple conditions. First, clear goals such as “write three paragraphs”. Clarity eliminates the mental struggle that comes with uncertainty, allowing the brain to focus entirely on execution (执行). Second, immediate feedback (反馈) such as a filled page. It delivers satisfying bursts that keep us engaged. Third, perhaps most critical, the balance between challenge and ability. If a task is too easy, boredom sets in; if it’s too hard, anxiety takes over. Flow lives in the sweet spot: a challenge that stretches our skills just enough to keep us involved, but not so much that we feel desperate. In a world that often values busyness over presence, flow reminds us of the joy of deep engagement. It teaches us that focus is not a limited resource, but a muscle to be strengthened. And in that strength, we find not just productivity, but a quiet kind of happiness — the kind that comes from feeling entirely alive in what we do. The next time you find yourself fully absorbed in a task, notice it. That’s flow, working its quiet magic. 4. What is the author’s purpose in sharing Sarah’s experience? A. To present a psychological concept. B. To describe a morning writing routine. C. To introduce a common working habit. D. To stress the importance of time management. 5. What is the feature of “flow” according to the text? A. It rarely lasts long. B. It mainly exists among professionals. C. It represents a fully engaged state. D. It involves intense emotional excitement. 6. Which of the following is essential for achieving “flow”? A. removing all the uncertainty. B. Providing detailed feedback. C. matching difficulty with ability. D. accomplishing challenging tasks. 7. What is the significance of experiencing “flow”? A. It brings genuine pleasure. B. It removes unnecessary busyness. C. It strengthens interpersonal connections. D. It allows individuals to relieve stress. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了心理学中的“心流(flow)”概念，通过Sarah的写作经历引出心流状态的定义、特征、实现条件及其对个人的意义。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This is flow, a state of complete absorption, long studied by psychologists, yet still an understated life pleasure. (这就是心流，一种完全沉浸的状态，心理学家已对其研究多年，但它仍是一种被低估的人生乐事)”可知，作者分享Sarah的经历是为了引出“心流”这一心理学概念。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Flow, coined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, describes full engagement in an activity where challenge and skill meet in delicate balance. (心流由心理学家Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi提出，指的是在活动中完全投入的状态，此时挑战与技能达到微妙的平衡)”可知，心流的核心特征是一种完全投入的状态。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Third, perhaps most critical, the balance between challenge and ability. (第三，或许也是最关键的，是挑战与能力之间的平衡)”可知，实现心流最关键的条件是挑战难度与个人能力相匹配。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In a world that often values busyness over presence, flow reminds us of the joy of deep engagement. It teaches us that focus is not a limited resource, but a muscle to be strengthened. And in that strength, we find not just productivity, but a quiet kind of happiness — the kind that comes from feeling entirely alive in what we do. (在一个往往重视忙碌而非当下的世界里，心流提醒我们深度投入的乐趣。它让我们明白，专注力并非有限的资源，而是一块可以锻炼变强的肌肉。在这份力量中，我们收获的不仅是效率，还有一种沉静的幸福感，那种源于在做事时感到全然鲜活的幸福)”可知，心流体验能带来真正的愉悦感与幸福感。故选A。 C It is common to say something is as light as a feather (羽毛) to mean something doesn't weigh much. A group of researchers, however, has found that while all feathers are pretty light, some of them are far heavier than others, and it may be because of their color. Bird feathers come in all different colors ranging from black to white, and everything in between. The researchers wanted to know if there was a difference in how much a feather of one color weighed compared to that of another color. They studied 109 specimens (标本) of birds across 19 different species. The team investigated the melanin (黑色素) in feathers. Melanin has a fairly high molecular (分子的) mass, which means it becomes a not-insignificant part of the overall weight of the feather itself. There are two forms of melanin, one found in light brown and orange feathers and the other in black, grey and darker brown feathers. Once the researchers got the feathers they needed, they collected and purified the melanin in the feathers, then weighed the melanin and compared it with the weight of the feathers before the melanin was removed. They found the melanin accounted for 25% of the total dry mass of the feathers on average. For a species known for having very dark feathers, that went up to over 60% of the weight. People may think 25% of the weight of feathers is little. That being said, when it comes to flying, every bit counts. It's pointed out that migratory birds tend to have lighter colored feathers, which could help them fly over greater distances. More studies are needed to determine how this would affect a given species of bird, but it appears that the extra weight of darker feathers is at least one factor when it comes to how evolution progressed in different species of birds. 8. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To compare birds' different migratory patterns. B. To collect specimens of endangered bird species. C. To demonstrate the unknown functions of bird feathers. D. To figure out the link between feather color and feather weight. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The research procedure. B. The theoretical basis. C. The function of melanin. D. The formation of melanin. 10. What is the finding of the research? A. Color is the decisive factor of feather weight. B. Melanin content may influence the weight of feathers. C. Feathers account for a quarter of a bird's weight on average. D. The darker the feather is, the greater distances the bird flies. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Significance in Distinguishing Feathers B. The Evolution of Bird Feathers in Different Species C. The Association between feather Color and Its Weight D. The Effect of feather Color on Bird migration Distance 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究人员探究鸟类羽毛颜色与重量之间的关联及相关研究发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers wanted to know if there was a difference in how much a feather of one color weighed compared to that of another color. (研究人员想知道一种颜色的羽毛与另一种颜色的羽毛在重量上是否存在差异。)”可知，研究人员进行这项研究是为了弄清楚羽毛颜色与羽毛重量之间的联系。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The team investigated the melanin (黑色素) in feathers. Melanin has a fairly high molecular (分子的) mass, which means it becomes a not - insignificant part of the overall weight of the feather itself. There are two forms of melanin, one found in light brown and orange feathers and the other in black, grey and darker brown feathers. (该团队研究了羽毛中的黑色素。黑色素具有相当高的分子质量，这意味着它成为羽毛整体重量中不可忽视的一部分。黑色素有两种形式，一种存在于浅棕色和橙色羽毛中，另一种存在于黑色、灰色和深棕色羽毛中。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是研究的理论基础，即黑色素与羽毛重量相关的理论依据。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They found the melanin accounted for 25% of the total dry mass of the feathers on average. For a species known for having very dark feathers, that went up to over 60% of the weight. (他们发现黑色素平均占羽毛总干重的25%。对于一个以拥有非常深色羽毛而闻名的物种来说，这一比例高达其重量的60%以上。)”可知，研究发现黑色素含量可能会影响羽毛的重量。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“A group of researchers, however, has found that while all feathers are pretty light, some of them are far heavier than others, and it may be because of their color. (然而，一组研究人员发现，虽然所有的羽毛都很轻，但有些羽毛比其他羽毛重得多，这可能是因为它们的颜色。)”可知，文章主要围绕羽毛颜色与羽毛重量之间的关联展开，所以“羽毛颜色与其重量之间的关联”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D As the world gets used to the technological achievements of AI, the focus is shifting to its economic, financial and social consequences. Consider economics first. Some 800 million people worldwide use ChatGPT; many employees admit in surveys to using AI at work. But when it comes to formal adoption by businesses, the numbers are still modest. According to America’s Census Bureau, just about 10% of businesses have integrated AI into their production processes. A survey by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that 95% of businesses’ AI pilots failed to generate a return at all. Thus, startups have appeared to help businesses in particular industries: Harvey AI, for instance, works with lawyers to analyze contracts, while Sierra helps companies use AI in customer service. A key indicator to watch in 2026 will therefore be the rate of formal adoption, and the extent to which these efforts are succeeding. This matters not just for the impact of AI on productivity and economic growth, but also for the huge financial boom based on the technology’s success. If adoption picks up, then investors will continue to believe that their investment and patience will ultimately result in handsome returns. But any sign that the gains from AI will be slow to come, or will not come at all, could cause AI valuations to deflate. Faster uptake of the technology also risks raising a different concern about AI’s impact on jobs, as virtual “agents” are capable of performing a series of tasks semi-autonomously, but round the clock, and at a lower cost. Already, some critics are blaming AI for high rates of graduate unemployment in America. But the evidence for this is slim. Past technology booms suggest that worries about mass unemployment tend not to come to pass. As some jobs become outdated, new ones emerge. The hype and the hopes around AI have been like nothing the world has seen before, and the true nature of its impact is still unclear. Will it bring an economic revival (复兴), a financial depression, a social protest, or some combination of the three? The world will start to find out soon. 12. What do the figures in paragraph 2 mainly imply? A. The broad variety of AI models. B. The wide application of AI. C. The serious economic impacts of AI. D. The difficulty in integrating AI. 13. Why are the examples of Harvey AI and Sierra given? A. To explain the challenges facing AI tools. B. To illustrate AI’s progress in specific fields. C. To highlight the limitations of AI in customer service. D. To emphasize the intense competition among AI companies. 14. What does the underlined word “deflate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Expand. B. Stabilize. C. Disappear. D. Reduce. 15. What does the author suggest about AI causing mass unemployment? A. It is an unreasonable concern. B. It is supported by plentiful evidence. C. It shows humans’ strong adaptability. D. It results from unresolved issues in the past. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着世界适应人工智能的技术成就，其经济、金融和社会影响成为关注焦点，探讨了人工智能在商业应用中的挑战、对经济金融的影响以及引发对就业的担忧。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But when it comes to formal adoption by businesses, the numbers are still modest. According to America’s Census Bureau, just about 10% of businesses have integrated AI into their production processes. A survey by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that 95% of businesses’ AI pilots failed to generate a return at all.(但当涉及到企业正式采用时，这个数字仍然不大。根据美国人口普查局的数据，只有大约10%的企业将人工智能整合到了生产过程中。麻省理工学院的一项调查发现，95%的企业的人工智能试点项目根本没有产生回报。)”可知，第二段中的数字主要暗示了整合人工智能的困难。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Thus, startups have appeared to help businesses in particular industries: Harvey AI, for instance, works with lawyers to analyze contracts, while Sierra helps companies use AI in customer service. A key indicator to watch in 2026 will therefore be the rate of formal adoption, and the extent to which these efforts are succeeding.(因此，出现了帮助特定行业企业的初创公司：例如，Harvey AI与律师合作分析合同，而Sierra则帮助企业在客户服务中使用人工智能。因此，2026年需要关注的一个关键指标将是正式采用率，以及这些努力取得成功的程度。)”可知，提到Harvey AI和Sierra这两个例子是为了说明人工智能在特定领域取得的进展。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“If adoption picks up, then investors will continue to believe that their investment and patience will ultimately result in handsome returns. But any sign that the gains from AI will be slow to come, or will not come at all, could cause AI valuations to deflate.（如果采用率上升，那么投资者将继续相信，他们的投资和耐心最终会带来丰厚的回报。但是，任何迹象表明，人工智能带来的收益将缓慢到来，或者根本不会到来，都可能导致人工智能估值deflate。）”可知，如果人工智能带来的收益缓慢或无法到来，那么人工智能估值会下降，所以deflate意思是“下降，减少”，与reduce意思相近。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Already, some critics are blaming AI for high rates of graduate unemployment in America. But the evidence for this is slim. Past technology booms suggest that worries about mass unemployment tend not to come to pass. As some jobs become outdated, new ones emerge.(一些批评人士已经将美国毕业生高失业率归咎于人工智能。但这方面的证据很少。过去的技术繁荣表明，对大规模失业的担忧往往不会成为现实。随着一些工作变得过时，新的工作出现了。)”可知，作者认为人工智能导致大规模失业这种担忧是不合理的。故选A。 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。 We spend most of our days inside routines, mistaking stability for peace and forgetting how to be fully awake in our existence. Life feel oddly silent. ____16____ For example, a sudden rain on your way home, a stranger who starts a conversation at a café... Life tries to speak to us again — softly, but insistently. The tragedy of modern life is not a lack of experiences, but our quiet refusal to feel them. Feel them all — the good, the bad, and everything in between. We try to edit our emotions but life doesn’t unfold in categories. ____17____ The heart’s capacity to ache is the same capacity that allows it to love deeply. To shut down one feeling is to dim (使黯淡) them all. ____18____ They arrive unannounced, slightly uncomfortable, and entirely unproductive. But that’s their power — they pull us out of the script. The moments that don’t fit our plans often shape us most. Try replacing “What’s the point” with “That sounds fun”. Get lost for half an hour. Talk to the café owner about his cat. Take that useless but inviting pottery class. ____19____ They are small rehearsals (练习) of being human again. Life is constantly inviting you to improvise (即兴创作). Remember: Life is not a to-do list. It's a river in motion. Every new experience is like a flicker of gold beneath the surface. It may not change your world overnight, but it quietly reshapes how you connect with it. What matters is that you stay open — to the unknown, and to the ordinary. So when life offers something new, don’t turn away. ____20____ A. These are not disturbances. B. Step into it, even awkwardly. C. Pain and beauty arrive hand in hand. D. Every second offers a chance to start over. E. New experiences rarely come with instruction. F. The natural beauty is visible to the observant eye. G. But sometimes, something small breaks the pattern. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章呼吁人们打破日常惯例，敞开心扉去感受生活中的各种体验，以此获得更鲜活的人生感受。 【16题详解】 上文“We spend most of our days inside routines, mistaking stability for peace and forgetting how to be fully awake in our existence. Life feel oddly silent. (我们大部分日子都在日常惯例中度过，错把安稳当成平静，忘了如何在生活中保持全然清醒。生活变得异常沉寂)”描述了人们在日常惯例中麻木沉寂的状态，下文“For example, a sudden rain on your way home, a stranger who starts a conversation at a café (比如，你回家路上突如其来的一场雨，咖啡馆里主动和你搭话的陌生人)”列举了打破沉默的小事件。G选项“但有时，一些小事会打破这种模式”起到承上启下的作用，衔接自然。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“We try to edit our emotions but life doesn’t unfold in categories. (我们总想给情绪挑挑拣拣，但生活从来不会按我们的预想分门别类地发生)”提到生活不会完全按我们预想的那样进行，下文“The heart’s capacity to ache is the same capacity that allows it to love deeply. (人心能够承受痛苦的能力，也正是能让它深爱他人的能力)”说明痛苦与爱并存的关系。C选项“痛苦与美好总是相伴而至”承接上文，呼应了情绪不可分割的观点，衔接自然。故选C。 【18题详解】 下文“They arrive unannounced, slightly uncomfortable, and entirely unproductive. (它们不期而至、让人不适、看似无用)”描述了某个复数概念的特点。E选项“新体验很少会带着说明到来”总起该段，点明了新体验的不可预知性，下文的“They”指代选项里的“New experiences”，符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“Try replacing “What’s the point” with “That sounds fun”. Get lost for half an hour. Talk to the café owner about his cat. Take that useless but inviting pottery class. (试着把“这有什么意义”换成“听起来很有意思”。花半小时随便走走迷路，和咖啡馆老板聊聊他的猫，去上那个看似无用却很吸引人的陶艺课)”列举了一些看似无意义的小事，下文“They are small rehearsals (练习) of being human again. (这些都是让我们重新学着“为人”的小练习)”说明这些小事的意义。A选项“这些并非干扰”承接上文，呼应了“无用之事，实则有价值”的观点，衔接自然。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“So when life offers something new, don’t turn away. (所以当生活带来新的事物时，不要转身回避)”呼吁人们面对新体验时不要回避。B选项“踏入其中，哪怕笨拙也无妨”是对这一呼吁的具体行动建议，衔接自然。故选B。 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。 Shopping seems not to be a pleasant experience for me now.

After more than one hour of back-and-forth, I crossed the bridge, handed over 4,000 yuan and clicked “Confirm Order”. But the moment I made the ____29____, a strange unease settled over me. Was it a ____30____ choice, or did I just fall into a trap that seemed too attractive? The stress from this purchase seemed to have ____31____ my sleep. I stayed awake that whole night. The constant ____32____ to make the “right” choice feels unbearable. Growing public ____33____, better education, and increasingly advanced product variations have ____34____ transformed shopping into a complex decision-making process.

People pushed past each other in the narrow lanes, and the noise of talking and shouting filled the air. Inside a narrow corner shop, security cameras made a soft sound: Ahmed Khan leaned over faded receipts, his counter piled high with bags of rice and boxes of biscuits. His wife Aisha wiped dust from shelves, while their four-year-old daughter Zara sat near the entrance, coloring a picture of the sun with crayons. The doorbell rang softly, followed by quick, nervous footsteps. A young man walked unsteadily in. Desperation twisted his face, his hair was messy, and sweat covered his forehead and cheeks. His bloodshot, wild eyes — like those of a trapped animal almost falling apart — scanned the shop. His dirty, worn clothes and wet shirt showed clearly his great poverty and strong panic. The man threw a hand hard on the counter, his chest rising and falling heavily. Looking at Ahmed with tears in his eyes, the man said in a hurried way, “Excuse me... have you seen a brown wallet? It contains money for my mother’s treatment — half a year’s savings!” His voice broke into a cry, the bag slipping from his fingers to show it was empty. Ahmed stopped what he was doing, sympathy softening his look, while Aisha pulled Zara close to her side, her face showing deep care for the stranger. Ahmed’s voice was warm but steady: “Brother, calm down. Did you lose it in the market? Retrace your steps.” He gestured for Aisha to bring some water, trying to comfort the man. The man took the glass and rushed to explain, “I came from the countryside for my mother’s lung medicine. The bag loosened... it’s her only hope! I’ve searched every place I’ve been, back and forth several times, but the wallet was nowhere to be found.” He covered his face, shoulders shaking with held-back cries, tired out completely by guilt and sadness. Those heartfelt words hit Ahmed hard, leaving him rooted to the spot for quite a moment. 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。 At that moment, Ahmed determined to help. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, that young man appeared again, accompanied by his mother. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At that moment, Ahmed determined to help. He looked into the young man’s despairing eyes and thought of his own mother. Without hesitation, he took out a small envelope from under the counter — the day’s earnings. “Here,” he said, placing the money into the man’s trembling hands. “Take this for the medicine. Go quickly.” The man stared, speechless with gratitude, then nodded firmly and rushed out into the busy market. Months later, that young man appeared again, accompanied by his mother. She walked slowly but with a warm smile, with her health visibly improved. The young man, now neatly dressed, held out Ahmed’s envelope — now thicker with added notes. “Because of you, my mother is well,” he said. Ahmed tried to refuse the extra money, but the man insisted gently, “Please, let this also help someone else.” As they left, Zara waved goodbye, her sun drawing now bright with color. Ahmed watched them go, understanding that the truest wealth is not in money, but in the moment one heart chooses to light another’s way. 【解析】 【导语】本文以丢失的钱包与善意的传递为线索展开，讲述了店主Ahmed Khan在得知陌生男子为母亲治病的救命钱丢失后，毅然拿出当日收入相助，数月后男子带着康复的母亲回来报恩，并将这份善意延续下去的暖心故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在那一刻，Ahmed决定伸出援手”可知，第一段可描写Ahmed看着男子绝望的眼神，联想到自己的母亲，毫不犹豫地拿出当日收入，安抚男子并让他快去为母亲买药，男子感动得说不出话，坚定地点头后冲向市场。 ②由第二段首句内容“数月后，那个年轻人再次出现，还带着他的母亲”可知，第二段可描写男子的母亲身体已明显好转，他衣着整洁地递回那个信封，里面还多了一些钱，希望能帮助更多人；Ahmed试图拒绝额外的钱，但男子坚持要将这份善意传递下去，最终Ahmed看着他们离开，明白了真正的财富不在于金钱，而在于一颗心照亮另一颗心。 2. 续写线索： Ahmed决定相助——拿出当日收入递给男子——男子带着母亲归来报恩——信封里的钱变厚并提出传递善意——Ahmed理解善意传递的真谛——收获温暖与人生感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿出：take out/ pull out/ fetch out ②拒绝：refuse/ decline/ turn down ③帮助：help/ assist/ come to one’s aid 情绪类 ①绝望的：despairing/ desperate/ hopeless ②感激：gratitude/ thankfulness/ appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】She walked slowly but with a warm smile, with her health visibly improved. (运用了with的复合结构) 【高分句型2】Ahmed watched them go, understanding that the truest wealth is not in money, but in the moment one heart chooses to light another’s way.

Recognition posted on the event’s website. B In the middle of a morning writing session, Sarah glances up from her laptop and realizes two hours have passed in what feels like minutes. Not noticing the coffee growing cold on her desk, she has been fully absorbed in weaving words into sentences, thought flowing smoothly. When finally pausing, she feels a quiet sense of fulfillment, her mind and hands in perfect harmony. This is flow, a state of complete absorption, long studied by psychologists, yet still an understated life pleasure. Flow, coined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, describes full engagement in an activity where challenge and skill meet in delicate balance. It is not excitement but a calm, focused presence where distractions fade away, and the self disappears into a task. Mihaly interviewed artists, athletes, scientists, and the average people about their most meaningful experiences, and they described this state of effortless concentration — whether painting, solving a math problem, playing an instrument, or even cooking a meal. What makes flow accessible is its reliance on simple conditions. First, clear goals such as “write three paragraphs”. Clarity eliminates the mental struggle that comes with uncertainty, allowing the brain to focus entirely on execution (执行). Second, immediate feedback (反馈) such as a filled page. It delivers satisfying bursts that keep us engaged. Third, perhaps most critical, the balance between challenge and ability. If a task is too easy, boredom sets in; if it’s too hard, anxiety takes over. Flow lives in the sweet spot: a challenge that stretches our skills just enough to keep us involved, but not so much that we feel desperate. In a world that often values busyness over presence, flow reminds us of the joy of deep engagement. It teaches us that focus is not a limited resource, but a muscle to be strengthened. And in that strength, we find not just productivity, but a quiet kind of happiness — the kind that comes from feeling entirely alive in what we do. The next time you find yourself fully absorbed in a task, notice it. That’s flow, working its quiet magic. 4. What is the author’s purpose in sharing Sarah’s experience? A. To present a psychological concept. B. To describe a morning writing routine. C. To introduce a common working habit. D. To stress the importance of time management. 5. What is the feature of “flow” according to the text? A. It rarely lasts long. B. It mainly exists among professionals. C. It represents a fully engaged state. D. It involves intense emotional excitement. 6. Which of the following is essential for achieving “flow”? A. removing all the uncertainty. B. Providing detailed feedback. C. matching difficulty with ability. D. accomplishing challenging tasks. 7. What is the significance of experiencing “flow”? A. It brings genuine pleasure. B. It removes unnecessary busyness. C. It strengthens interpersonal connections. D. It allows individuals to relieve stress. C It is common to say something is as light as a feather (羽毛) to mean something doesn't weigh much. A group of researchers, however, has found that while all feathers are pretty light, some of them are far heavier than others, and it may be because of their color. Bird feathers come in all different colors ranging from black to white, and everything in between. The researchers wanted to know if there was a difference in how much a feather of one color weighed compared to that of another color. They studied 109 specimens (标本) of birds across 19 different species. The team investigated the melanin (黑色素) in feathers. Melanin has a fairly high molecular (分子的) mass, which means it becomes a not-insignificant part of the overall weight of the feather itself. There are two forms of melanin, one found in light brown and orange feathers and the other in black, grey and darker brown feathers. Once the researchers got the feathers they needed, they collected and purified the melanin in the feathers, then weighed the melanin and compared it with the weight of the feathers before the melanin was removed. They found the melanin accounted for 25% of the total dry mass of the feathers on average. For a species known for having very dark feathers, that went up to over 60% of the weight. People may think 25% of the weight of feathers is little. That being said, when it comes to flying, every bit counts. It's pointed out that migratory birds tend to have lighter colored feathers, which could help them fly over greater distances. More studies are needed to determine how this would affect a given species of bird, but it appears that the extra weight of darker feathers is at least one factor when it comes to how evolution progressed in different species of birds. 8. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To compare birds' different migratory patterns. B. To collect specimens of endangered bird species. C. To demonstrate the unknown functions of bird feathers. D. To figure out the link between feather color and feather weight. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The research procedure. B. The theoretical basis. C. The function of melanin. D. The formation of melanin. 10. What is the finding of the research? A. Color is the decisive factor of feather weight. B. Melanin content may influence the weight of feathers. C. Feathers account for a quarter of a bird's weight on average. D. The darker the feather is, the greater distances the bird flies. 11 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Significance in Distinguishing Feathers B. The Evolution of Bird Feathers in Different Species C. The Association between feather Color and Its Weight D. The Effect of feather Color on Bird migration Distance D As the world gets used to the technological achievements of AI, the focus is shifting to its economic, financial and social consequences. Consider economics first. Some 800 million people worldwide use ChatGPT; many employees admit in surveys to using AI at work. But when it comes to formal adoption by businesses, the numbers are still modest. According to America’s Census Bureau, just about 10% of businesses have integrated AI into their production processes. A survey by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that 95% of businesses’ AI pilots failed to generate a return at all. Thus, startups have appeared to help businesses in particular industries: Harvey AI, for instance, works with lawyers to analyze contracts, while Sierra helps companies use AI in customer service. A key indicator to watch in 2026 will therefore be the rate of formal adoption, and the extent to which these efforts are succeeding. This matters not just for the impact of AI on productivity and economic growth, but also for the huge financial boom based on the technology’s success. If adoption picks up, then investors will continue to believe that their investment and patience will ultimately result in handsome returns. But any sign that the gains from AI will be slow to come, or will not come at all, could cause AI valuations to deflate. Faster uptake of the technology also risks raising a different concern about AI’s impact on jobs, as virtual “agents” are capable of performing a series of tasks semi-autonomously, but round the clock, and at a lower cost. Already, some critics are blaming AI for high rates of graduate unemployment in America. But the evidence for this is slim. Past technology booms suggest that worries about mass unemployment tend not to come to pass. As some jobs become outdated, new ones emerge. The hype and the hopes around AI have been like nothing the world has seen before, and the true nature of its impact is still unclear. Will it bring an economic revival (复兴), a financial depression, a social protest, or some combination of the three? The world will start to find out soon. 12. What do the figures in paragraph 2 mainly imply? A. The broad variety of AI models. B. The wide application of AI. C. The serious economic impacts of AI. D. The difficulty in integrating AI. 13. Why are the examples of Harvey AI and Sierra given? A. To explain the challenges facing AI tools. B. To illustrate AI’s progress in specific fields. C. To highlight the limitations of AI in customer service. D. To emphasize the intense competition among AI companies. 14. What does the underlined word “deflate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Expand. B. Stabilize. C. Disappear. D. Reduce. 15. What does the author suggest about AI causing mass unemployment? A. It is an unreasonable concern. B. It is supported by plentiful evidence. C. It shows humans’ strong adaptability. D. It results from unresolved issues in the past. 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。 We spend most of our days inside routines, mistaking stability for peace and forgetting how to be fully awake in our existence. Life feel oddly silent. ____16____ For example, a sudden rain on your way home, a stranger who starts a conversation at a café... Life tries to speak to us again — softly, but insistently. The tragedy of modern life is not a lack of experiences, but our quiet refusal to feel them. Feel them all — the good the bad, and everything in between. We try to edit our emotions but life doesn’t unfold in categories. ____17____ The heart’s capacity to ache is the same capacity that allows it to love deeply. To shut down one feeling is to dim (使黯淡) them all. ____18____ They arrive unannounced, slightly uncomfortable, and entirely unproductive. But that’s their power — they pull us out of the script. The moments that don’t fit our plans often shape us most. Try replacing “What’s the point” with “That sounds fun”. Get lost for half an hour. Talk to the café owner about his cat. Take that useless but inviting pottery class. ____19____ They are small rehearsals (练习) of being human again. Life is constantly inviting you to improvise (即兴创作). Remember: Life is not a to-do list. It's a river in motion. Every new experience is like a flicker of gold beneath the surface. It may not change your world overnight, but it quietly reshapes how you connect with it. What matters is that you stay open — to the unknown, and to the ordinary. So when life offers something new, don’t turn away. ____20____ A. These are not disturbances. B. Step into it, even awkwardly. C. Pain and beauty arrive hand in hand. D. Every second offers a chance to start over. E. New experiences rarely come with instruction. F. The natural beauty is visible to the observant eye. G. But sometimes, something small breaks the pattern. 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。 Shopping seems not to be a pleasant experience for me now.

People pushed past each other in the narrow lanes, and the noise of talking and shouting filled the air. Inside a narrow corner shop, security cameras made a soft sound: Ahmed Khan leaned over faded receipts, his counter piled high with bags of rice and boxes of biscuits. His wife Aisha wiped dust from shelves, while their four-year-old daughter Zara sat near the entrance, coloring a picture of the sun with crayons. The doorbell rang softly, followed by quick, nervous footsteps. A young man walked unsteadily in. Desperation twisted his face, his hair was messy, and sweat covered his forehead and cheeks. His bloodshot, wild eyes — like those of a trapped animal almost falling apart — scanned the shop. His dirty, worn clothes and wet shirt showed clearly his great poverty and strong panic. The man threw a hand hard on the counter, his chest rising and falling heavily. Looking at Ahmed with tears in his eyes, the man said in a hurried way, “Excuse me... have you seen a brown wallet? It contains money for my mother’s treatment — half a year’s savings!” His voice broke into a cry, the bag slipping from his fingers to show it was empty. Ahmed stopped what he was doing, sympathy softening his look, while Aisha pulled Zara close to her side, her face showing deep care for the stranger. Ahmed’s voice was warm but steady: “Brother, calm down. Did you lose it in the market? Retrace your steps.” He gestured for Aisha to bring some water, trying to comfort the man. The man took the glass and rushed to explain, “I came from the countryside for my mother’s lung medicine. The bag loosened... it’s her only hope! I’ve searched every place I’ve been, back and forth several times, but the wallet was nowhere to be found.” He covered his face, shoulders shaking with held-back cries, tired out completely by guilt and sadness. Those heartfelt words hit Ahmed hard, leaving him rooted to the spot for quite a moment. 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。 At that moment, Ahmed determined to help. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, that young man appeared again, accompanied by his mother. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
