In today’s world, making new inventions is not a field occupied only by scientists. Many young and brilliant inventors are increasingly addressing global challenges with their creative thinking and new technologies. From classrooms to international competitions, these outstanding students are applying their skills to make a difference in real life and even across the whole planet.
In the UK, the team “H₂O Visionaries” from Sutton Grammar School won the 2025 Davidson Inventors Challenge. They developed a water filtration (过滤) system that uses bio-char (生物碳) made from food waste to remove heavy metal from water. Designed for developing countries, their system is both effective and financially realistic, costing around $ 0.35 per person.
Similarly, a university student team called “Waste2Watts” won Swansea’s “Invent for the Planet” competition. They created a bio-transformer toilet that changes human waste into bio-fuel. This invention aims to provide sustainable sanitation (卫生设施), generate household power from the collected waste air for humans, and create fertilizer — all using locally sourced materials — which are especially beneficial to the already delicate ecosystem.
In India, 16-year-old Pranet Khetan was named a national winner in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2025 contest. He developed Paraspeak, an AI-powered, matchbox-sized device that helps people with speech difficulties, such as those affected by strokes or Parkinson’s disease. Unique for its focus on Hindi, the device records a user’s unclear speech and uses a custom AI model to play back a clear, translated version, making it possible for the unfortunate to communicate with others.
These young innovators demonstrate that the drive to solve pressing global issues can start at any age, turning creative ideas into practical solutions, and that anyone — even the young — can really make a difference in others’ lives.
24. What is a key advantage of the H₂O Visionaries’ filtration system?
A. It uses advanced AI. B. It generates electricity.
C. It produces plant fertilizer. D. It is extremely cost-efficient.
25. What is the shared feature between H₂O Visionaries and Waste2Watts?
A. They focus on water filtration.
B. They make products from waste.
C. They aim to win major contests.
D. They are designed for Hindi speakers.
26. What is special about the Paraspeak device?
A. It clarifies unclear speech in Hindi.
B. It can treat certain medical conditions.
C. It requires a separate powerful computer.
D. It translates between different languages.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Water pollution is the top global issue.
B. University students lead in innovation.
C. Competitions are key to young inventors.
D. Young people solve world problems with creativity.

The rapid development in high-tech industries like new energy and electronics has led to an increasing global demand for rare earth elements (REEs), critical materials that power these industries. Over the past decade, global production of REEs — from mining to application — has risen from 124,000 tons to 390,000 tons, a 214% increase. As large-scale mining and processing speed increase, REEs are gathering in urban air, water, soil, and even human bodies, raising urgent concerns about their environmental and health impacts.
Major cities worldwide are already seeing troubling signs of REE gathering. In Beijing, soil REE concentrations have risen 39.16% above natural background levels. London’s soils tell a similar story, with some elements reaching six times their natural amounts. For city residents, this translates to greater exposure; studies show abnormal REE levels in human hair, nails and blood. In Barcelona, 62% of residents tested had REEs in their blood.
The health risks of long-term, low-level REE exposure are particularly worrying. Research confirms that these elements can build up in the body, potentially causing reproductive and neurological (神经上的) harm, as well as increasing risks of high blood, kidney (肾脏) issues, and so on. More alarmingly, a mother’s REE exposure may affect her unborn child, with studies linking higher levels to an 18-23% increase in the risk of birth defects.
Addressing this challenge requires action on multiple fronts. Environmentally friendly mining technologies — such as a three-stage leaching (过滤) process that cuts chemical use by 67% — offer hope. Boosting recycling of electronic products like electric vehicles and phones can also reduce reliance on new mining. While some countries have added REEs to priority pollutant lists, global cooperation is needed to strengthen urban monitoring and protect high-risk groups.
28. What is the main driver of the growing demand for REEs?
A. The shortage of new energy.
B. The expansion of high-tech industries.
C. The growth in electronic product sales.
D. The development of traditional energy industries.
29. Why is the Barcelona blood test example given?
A. To link REEs with high blood pressure.
B. To show Europe’s worst pollution case.
C. To prove a blood test method works best.
D. To show city people are widely exposed to REEs.
30. What is the status of solving REE pollution?
A. It depends on new tech. B. It has already been solved.
C. More action is still needed. D. There is full global cooperation.
31. What might be discussed after the last paragraph?
A. New high-tech uses for REEs.
B. REEs’ harm to ocean life near cities.
C. A final solution to ending REE pollution.
D. Global efforts to monitor city pollution.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了高科技产业(如新能源和电子产业)的快速发展导致全球对稀土元素(REEs)的需求不断增加,稀土元素在城市环境中的聚集引发了对其环境和健康影响的担忧,文章还阐述了解决稀土污染问题的措施及现状。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The rapid development in high - tech industries like new energy and electronics has led to an increasing global demand for rare earth elements (REEs), critical materials that power these industries. (新能源和电子等高科技产业的快速发展导致全球对稀土元素(REEs)的需求不断增加,稀土元素是为这些产业提供动力的关键材料。)”可知,高科技产业的扩张是稀土元素需求增长的主要驱动力。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For city residents, this translates to greater exposure; studies show abnormal REE levels in human hair, nails and blood. In Barcelona, 62% of residents tested had REEs in their blood. (对于城市居民来说,这意味着接触更多;研究表明,人体头发、指甲和血液中的稀土元素水平异常。在巴塞罗那,62%的受检居民血液中含有稀土元素。)”可知,提到巴塞罗那的血液检测例子是为了表明城市居民广泛接触到了稀土元素。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Addressing this challenge requires action on multiple fronts. Environmentally friendly mining technologies — such as a three-stage leaching (过滤) process that cuts chemical use by 67% — offer hope. Boosting recycling of electronic products like electric vehicles and phones can also reduce reliance on new mining. While some countries have added REEs to priority pollutant lists, global cooperation is needed to strengthen urban monitoring and protect high-risk groups. (应对这一挑战需要多方面的行动。环保采矿技术——如可将化学物质使用量减少67%的三级浸出工艺——带来了希望。提高电动汽车和手机等电子产品的回收利用率也可以减少对新采矿的依赖。虽然一些国家已将稀土元素列入优先污染物清单,但需要全球合作来加强城市监测和保护高风险群体。)”可知,目前全球合作措施仍不足,解决稀土污染问题还需要采取更多行动。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While some countries have added REEs to priority pollutant lists, global cooperation is needed to strengthen urban monitoring and protect high-risk groups. (虽然一些国家已将稀土元素列入优先污染物清单,但需要全球合作来加强城市监测和保护高风险群体。)”可推测,文章接下来可能会讨论全球在监测城市污染方面的努力。故选D项。

Most artificial-intelligence (AI) models can reliably identify patterns in data and make predictions, but struggle to use that data to come up with broad scientific concepts, such as the laws of gravity. Now, a team in China has developed a system called “AI-Newton” that, after being fed experimental data, can independently “discover” key physics principles, such as Newton’s second law describing the effect of force and mass on speeding. It is really a significant step toward automated scientific discovery and surprised the world with an essay about the findings published in Nature.
The research, led by Professor Ma Yanqing, was highlighted in a news feature by the famous journal Nature in November 2025. The core challenge that the team addressed is that while most AI models are excellent at recognizing patterns and making predictions, they struggle to gain the simple, universal, and interpretable scientific laws that underlie those patterns. For example, an AI could predict a planet’s path but might not conclude Newton’s law of universal gravitation.
The “AI-Newton” system overcomes this by using a technique called symbolic regression (回归). It goes through raw observational data to find the most fundamental mathematical equations that describe the physical phenomena. Unlike completing the task in one go, the AI builds a knowledge base step-by-step, mimicking the human process of scientific reasoning.
In experiments involving 46 different settings with objects like balls and springs, “AI-Newton” started with noisy simulated(模拟的)data and successfully rediscovered Newton’s second law of motion (F=ma) and other key principles.
Experts see this as a promising method. However, they note that achieving fully automated science is still a long-term goal. For true autonomy, an AI would also need to identify worthwhile problems and design experiments, Professor Ma’s team now plans to apply “AI-Newton” to more complex areas, such as discovering new laws within quantum (量子) theory.
32. How does “AI-Newton” differ from other AI models?
A. It recognizes patterns faster.
B. It generates fundamental scientific laws.
C. It teaches AI systems basic physics knowledge.
D. It predicts planetary movements more accurately.
33. What does the underlined word “mimicking” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Copying. B. Improving. C. Guessing. D. Preventing.
34. What is the team’s future plan for the “AI-Newton” system?
A. To use it in other more complicated fields.
B. To replace human scientists in physics research.
C. To predict weather patterns with higher precision.
D. To focus on improving its pattern recognition ability.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. How AI-Newton Helps Researchers
B. Why Symbolic Regression Is Important
C. A New AI That Can Find Science Rules
D. Learning Newton’s Laws with Computers
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国研究团队成功研发出名为“AI-Newton”的人工智能系统。这套新系统能通过实验数据自主学习物理学基本定律。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Most artificial-intelligence (AI) models can reliably identify patterns in data and make predictions, but struggle to use that data to come up with broad scientific concepts, such as the laws of gravity. Now, a team in China has developed a system called “AI-Newton” that, after being fed experimental data, can independently “discover” key physics principles, such as Newton’s second law describing the effect of force and mass on speeding.(大多数人工智能(AI)模型能够可靠地识别数据中的规律并做出预测,却很难利用这些数据提出广泛的科学概念,比如万有引力定律。如今,中国一个团队研发了一套名为“AI-Newton”的系统,在输入实验数据后,它能自主“发现”重要的物理定律,例如描述力和质量对加速度影响的牛顿第二定律。)”可知,AI-Newton与其他AI的区别是它能生成基础科学定律。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“It goes through raw observational data to find the most fundamental mathematical equations that describe the physical phenomena. Unlike completing the task in one go, the AI builds a knowledge base step-by-step, mimicking the human process of scientific reasoning.(它会梳理原始观测数据,找出描述物理现象的最基本数学方程。与一次性完成任务不同,该人工智能会逐步构建知识库,mimicking人类的科学推理过程。)”可知,AI-Newton通过筛选原始观测数据,找出最简洁的数学方程来描述物理现象,不是一次性完成任务,而是采用逐步完成的方式,这模拟了人类的推理过程。据此可推测划线词mimicking表“模拟”,与A项“Copying”意思最接近。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“For true autonomy, an AI would also need to identify worthwhile problems and design experiments, Professor Ma’s team now plans to apply “AI-Newton” to more complex areas, such as discovering new laws within quantum(量子)theory.(要实现真正的自主性,人工智能还需要识别有价值的问题并设计实验。马教授的团队现在计划将“AI-Newton”应用于更复杂的领域,例如在量子理论中发现新的定律。)”可知,团队未来计划是把它用于其他更复杂的领域。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now, a team in China has developed a system called “AI-Newton” that, after being fed experimental data, can independently “discover” key physics principles, such as Newton’s second law describing the effect of force and mass on speeding.(如今,中国的一个团队研发了一个名为“AI-Newton”的系统,在输入实验数据后,它可以自主“发现”关键的物理学原理,比如描述力和质量对加速度影响的牛顿第二定律。)”以及下文内容可知,本文主要介绍一种能够发现科学规律的新型人工智能,所以C项A New AI That Can Find Science Rules(一种能发现科学规律的新型人工智能)符合文意。故选C项。

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。
In today’s information-filled world, developing critical thinking skills has become more important than ever. ____36____ They enable us to travel through the vast sea of information, distinguish fact from fiction, and make informed decisions.
The first step in developing critical thinking is to question everything. ____37____ This doesn’t mean being doubtful about everything, but rather approaching information with an open yet perceptive mind. When you encounter a piece of information, ask yourself: Who is the source? What evidence supports this claim? Are there alternative perspectives?
____38____ This means actively looking for opinions that differ from your own. Exposing yourself to different perspectives helps you understand complex issues more comprehensively and reduces the risk of confirmation bias — the tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms your preexisting beliefs.
Furthermore, it’s essential to develop the habit of reflective thinking. ____39____ This means taking time to analyze your own thought processes, examine your assumptions, and evaluate the validity of your conclusions. Reflective thinking allows you to identify gaps in your reasoning and improve your decision-making over time.
Finally, practice applying critical thinking in real-life situations. These skills are particularly valuable in academic and professional settings. Whether you’re evaluating news articles, making purchasing decisions, or solving problems at work, consciously applying critical thinking skills will strengthen them over time. Remember, critical thinking is not a native ability. ____40____
A. Another crucial aspect is to seek out diverse viewpoints.
B. However, many people struggle with developing these essential skills.
C. Critical thinking skills are like mental tools for processing information.
D. Examining your own assumptions for potential bias is part of this process.
E. This means developing a habit of inquiry rather than being receptive passively.
F. Instead, it is a skill that can be developed and improved through constant practice.
G. It requires stepping back from instant reactions and considering the bigger picture.

考查非谓语动词。句意:这种医学体系起源于中国古代,基于阴阳平衡以及气在人体经络中运行的哲学理念。句中已有谓语动词is based on,该空需填非谓语动词;originate与逻辑主语this medical system为主动关系,应用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Originating。

第二节(满分25分)
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 the class monitor since the beginning of the school year, and I always felt confident in my role. Whether it was organizing project groups or helping plan school events, I enjoyed taking charge and making sure things ran smoothly. I thought I could handle almost any responsibility until I met Alex.
Alex was one of the quietest students in our class. I knew he was smart because his essays were always well-written, and he got good grades in subjects like math and science. But when it came to speaking in front of others, it seemed as if he became a different person.
I first realized how serious it was a few weeks ago, during a group discussion in history class. When Mr. Collins asked Alex to share his thoughts, Alex’s face turned pale, and he just shook his head, unable to speak.
A few days later, Mr. Johnson made the announcement that changed everything. “For your final English project this term,” he said, standing at the front of our bright classroom, “each of you will prepare and deliver a five-minute individual presentation. You can choose any topic you’re passionate about.” Most of the class started whispering excitedly, but when I glanced over at Alex, my heart sank.
I waited until the classroom emptied, and then I walked over to him. “Hey, Alex,” I said gently. “Are you feeling alright about the presentation?”
He didn’t look up at first. Then, in a voice so low that I almost missed it, he explained that back in junior high school he froze during a speech. He completely forgot everything, and the audience laughed.
His honesty surprised me, and I suddenly felt the weight of my role in a new way. This wasn’t just about making sure everyone completed an assignment — this was about helping someone face a fear.
Suddenly it hit me that I could help him practice to overcome his fear.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, I came to Alex with my plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the presentation day arrived. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
The next morning, I came to Alex with my plan. I told him that I’d be there to help him practice his presentation every day after school in the quiet library. I’d give him feedback on his speaking speed, body language, and content. I also promised to create a relaxed atmosphere so he could gradually build up his confidence. At first, Alex was hesitant, but seeing my determination, he finally nodded in agreement. Over the next few weeks, we spent hours together, going over every detail of his presentation. With each practice, Alex became more and more confident.
Finally, the presentation day arrived. When it was Alex’s turn, he took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. I could see his hands trembling slightly, but he started speaking clearly and confidently. His voice grew stronger as he shared his passion for the topic. The class listened attentively, and when he finished, there was a round of applause. Alex’s face lit up with a huge smile, and I felt an overwhelming sense of pride. I knew that this experience would not only help him overcome his fear of public speaking but also strengthen our friendship.
【解析】

In today’s world, making new inventions is not a field occupied only by scientists. Many young and brilliant inventors are increasingly addressing global challenges with their creative thinking and new technologies. From classrooms to international competitions, these outstanding students are applying their skills to make a difference in real life and even across the whole planet.
In the UK, the team “H₂O Visionaries” from Sutton Grammar School won the 2025 Davidson Inventors Challenge. They developed a water filtration (过滤) system that uses bio-char (生物碳) made from food waste to remove heavy metal from water. Designed for developing countries, their system is both effective and financially realistic, costing around $ 0.35 per person.
Similarly, a university student team called “Waste2Watts” won Swansea’s “Invent for the Planet” competition. They created a bio-transformer toilet that changes human waste into bio-fuel. This invention aims to provide sustainable sanitation (卫生设施), generate household power from the collected waste air for humans, and create fertilizer — all using locally sourced materials — which are especially beneficial to the already delicate ecosystem.
In India, 16-year-old Pranet Khetan was named a national winner in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2025 contest. He developed Paraspeak, an AI-powered, matchbox-sized device that helps people with speech difficulties, such as those affected by strokes or Parkinson’s disease. Unique for its focus on Hindi, the device records a user’s unclear speech and uses a custom AI model to play back a clear, translated version, making it possible for the unfortunate to communicate with others.
These young innovators demonstrate that the drive to solve pressing global issues can start at any age, turning creative ideas into practical solutions, and that anyone — even the young — can really make a difference in others’ lives.
24. What is a key advantage of the H₂O Visionaries’ filtration system?
A. It uses advanced AI. B. It generates electricity.
C. It produces plant fertilizer. D. It is extremely cost-efficient.
25. What is the shared feature between H₂O Visionaries and Waste2Watts?
A. They focus on water filtration.
B. They make products from waste.
C. They aim to win major contests.
D. They are designed for Hindi speakers.
26. What is special about the Paraspeak device?
A. It clarifies unclear speech in Hindi.
B. It can treat certain medical conditions.
C. It requires a separate powerful computer.
D. It translates between different languages.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Water pollution is the top global issue.
B. University students lead in innovation.
C. Competitions are key to young inventors.
D. Young people solve world problems with creativity.

The rapid development in high-tech industries like new energy and electronics has led to an increasing global demand for rare earth elements (REEs), critical materials that power these industries. Over the past decade, global production of REEs — from mining to application — has risen from 124,000 tons to 390,000 tons, a 214% increase. As large-scale mining and processing speed increase, REEs are gathering in urban air, water, soil, and even human bodies, raising urgent concerns about their environmental and health impacts.
Major cities worldwide are already seeing troubling signs of REE gathering. In Beijing, soil REE concentrations have risen 39.16% above natural background levels. London’s soils tell a similar story, with some elements reaching six times their natural amounts. For city residents, this translates to greater exposure; studies show abnormal REE levels in human hair, nails and blood. In Barcelona, 62% of residents tested had REEs in their blood.
The health risks of long-term, low-level REE exposure are particularly worrying. Research confirms that these elements can build up in the body, potentially causing reproductive and neurological (神经上的) harm, as well as increasing risks of high blood, kidney (肾脏) issues, and so on. More alarmingly, a mother’s REE exposure may affect her unborn child, with studies linking higher levels to an 18-23% increase in the risk of birth defects.
Addressing this challenge requires action on multiple fronts. Environmentally friendly mining technologies — such as a three-stage leaching (过滤) process that cuts chemical use by 67% — offer hope. Boosting recycling of electronic products like electric vehicles and phones can also reduce reliance on new mining. While some countries have added REEs to priority pollutant lists, global cooperation is needed to strengthen urban monitoring and protect high-risk groups.
28. What is the main driver of the growing demand for REEs?
A. The shortage of new energy.
B. The expansion of high-tech industries.
C. The growth in electronic product sales.
D. The development of traditional energy industries.
29. Why is the Barcelona blood test example given?
A. To link REEs with high blood pressure.
B. To show Europe’s worst pollution case.
C. To prove a blood test method works best.
D. To show city people are widely exposed to REEs.
30. What is the status of solving REE pollution?
A. It depends on new tech. B. It has already been solved.
C. More action is still needed. D. There is full global cooperation.
31. What might be discussed after the last paragraph?
A. New high-tech uses for REEs.
B. REEs’ harm to ocean life near cities.
C. A final solution to ending REE pollution.
D. Global efforts to monitor city pollution.
D
Most artificial-intelligence (AI) models can reliably identify patterns in data and make predictions, but struggle to use that data to come up with broad scientific concepts, such as the laws of gravity. Now, a team in China has developed a system called “AI-Newton” that, after being fed experimental data, can independently “discover” key physics principles, such as Newton’s second law describing the effect of force and mass on speeding. It is really a significant step toward automated scientific discovery and surprised the world with an essay about the findings published in Nature.
The research, led by Professor Ma Yanqing, was highlighted in a news feature by the famous journal Nature in November 2025. The core challenge that the team addressed is that while most AI models are excellent at recognizing patterns and making predictions, they struggle to gain the simple, universal, and interpretable scientific laws that underlie those patterns. For example, an AI could predict a planet’s path but might not conclude Newton’s law of universal gravitation.
The “AI-Newton” system overcomes this by using a technique called symbolic regression (回归). It goes through raw observational data to find the most fundamental mathematical equations that describe the physical phenomena. Unlike completing the task in one go, the AI builds a knowledge base step-by-step, mimicking the human process of scientific reasoning.
In experiments involving 46 different settings with objects like balls and springs, “AI-Newton” started with noisy simulated(模拟的)data and successfully rediscovered Newton’s second law of motion (F=ma) and other key principles.
Experts see this as a promising method. However, they note that achieving fully automated science is still a long-term goal. For true autonomy, an AI would also need to identify worthwhile problems and design experiments, Professor Ma’s team now plans to apply “AI-Newton” to more complex areas, such as discovering new laws within quantum (量子) theory.
32. How does “AI-Newton” differ from other AI models?
A. It recognizes patterns faster.
B. It generates fundamental scientific laws.
C. It teaches AI systems basic physics knowledge.
D. It predicts planetary movements more accurately.
33. What does the underlined word “mimicking” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Copying. B. Improving. C. Guessing. D. Preventing.
34. What is the team’s future plan for the “AI-Newton” system?
A. To use it in other more complicated fields.
B. To replace human scientists in physics research.
C. To predict weather patterns with higher precision.
D. To focus on improving its pattern recognition ability.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. How AI-Newton Helps Researchers
B. Why Symbolic Regression Is Important
C. A New AI That Can Find Science Rules
D. Learning Newton’s Laws with Computers

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。
In today’s information-filled world, developing critical thinking skills has become more important than ever. ____36____ They enable us to travel through the vast sea of information, distinguish fact from fiction, and make informed decisions.
The first step in developing critical thinking is to question everything. ____37____ This doesn’t mean being doubtful about everything, but rather approaching information with an open yet perceptive mind. When you encounter a piece of information, ask yourself: Who is the source? What evidence supports this claim? Are there alternative perspectives?
____38____ This means actively looking for opinions that differ from your own. Exposing yourself to different perspectives helps you understand complex issues more comprehensively and reduces the risk of confirmation bias — the tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms your preexisting beliefs.
Furthermore, it’s essential to develop the habit of reflective thinking. ____39____ This means taking time to analyze your own thought processes, examine your assumptions, and evaluate the validity of your conclusions. Reflective thinking allows you to identify gaps in your reasoning and improve your decision-making over time.
Finally, practice applying critical thinking in real-life situations. These skills are particularly valuable in academic and professional settings. Whether you’re evaluating news articles, making purchasing decisions, or solving problems at work, consciously applying critical thinking skills will strengthen them over time. Remember, critical thinking is not a native ability. ____40____
A. Another crucial aspect is to seek out diverse viewpoints.
B. However, many people struggle with developing these essential skills.
C. Critical thinking skills are like mental tools for processing information.
D. Examining your own assumptions for potential bias is part of this process.
E. This means developing a habit of inquiry rather than being receptive passively.
F. Instead, it is a skill that can be developed and improved through constant practice.
G. It requires stepping back from instant reactions and considering the bigger picture.

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 the class monitor since the beginning of the school year, and I always felt confident in my role. Whether it was organizing project groups or helping plan school events, I enjoyed taking charge and making sure things ran smoothly. I thought I could handle almost any responsibility until I met Alex.
Alex was one of the quietest students in our class. I knew he was smart because his essays were always well-written, and he got good grades in subjects like math and science. But when it came to speaking in front of others, it seemed as if he became a different person.
I first realized how serious it was a few weeks ago, during a group discussion in history class. When Mr. Collins asked Alex to share his thoughts, Alex’s face turned pale, and he just shook his head, unable to speak.
A few days later, Mr. Johnson made the announcement that changed everything. “For your final English project this term,” he said, standing at the front of our bright classroom, “each of you will prepare and deliver a five-minute individual presentation. You can choose any topic you’re passionate about.” Most of the class started whispering excitedly, but when I glanced over at Alex, my heart sank.
I waited until the classroom emptied, and then I walked over to him. “Hey, Alex,” I said gently. “Are you feeling alright about the presentation?”
He didn’t look up at first. Then, in a voice so low that I almost missed it, he explained that back in junior high school he froze during a speech. He completely forgot everything, and the audience laughed.
His honesty surprised me, and I suddenly felt the weight of my role in a new way. This wasn’t just about making sure everyone completed an assignment — this was about helping someone face a fear.
Suddenly it hit me that I could help him practice to overcome his fear.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, I came to Alex with my plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
