My 5-year-old son and I were coming back from school when we saw a(n) 13 man on the side of the road. I wanted to give the man some money, but I didn’t have any cash(现金). My son Justus noticed the man as well. And then it happened. Justus insisted on giving the man the 30 cents he had in his pocket. I was more than happy that he wanted to do this with 14 . But honestly I was hesitant (犹豫不决的), I didn’t want to give this man who clearly needed all the help he could get, just 30 cents. My own pride and thoughts about how the homeless man might react to 15 just two coins were holding me back. I quickly realized that I was the only problem in this situation I almost showed my son, through my inaction, that what he had wasn’t enough. I almost made him believe that what he saw as a good thing—and what was truly a good thing—wasn’t enough to make a 16 in someone’s life. I almost taught him that pride mattered more than helping another person. Thank goodness I quickly drop that foolishness. I rolled down the window and said, “I’m sorry, man. I don’t have any cash on me, but my son back here wants to give you everything he 17 right now. He just turned five.” The smile on that man’s face lit up the crossroad, and he said to Justus, “Thank you so much!” The only thing that 18 the brightness of that stranger’s smile after that moment was the even bigger smile on my boy’s face! I also believed that a chain reaction of 19 started behind us that day, as other people rolled down their windows to help him too. My little boy, without even 20 it, reminded me once again through his actions that it was always about the heart.

B Finding the Owner "It's mine," said Fred, showing a pocketknife with a shining blade （刀片） "Just what I've always wanted. "And he turned it over and over with the look of satisfaction on his face. "I guess I know who owns it," said Tom, looking at it carefully. "I guess you don't. It isn't Mr. Raymond's," Fred replied quickly. "I know. Mr. Raymond's is twice as large," said Tom, going on with his drawing. Tom's doubt was taking away Fred's enjoyment. In fact, Fred was not comfortable with the knife at all, for he felt that he was having something that did not belong to him and he got worried. He even had serious thoughts of burning it, or hiding it, or giving it away; but a better plan hit him. "Tom," said Fred, one day at break, "didn't you say that you knew who owned the knife?" "Yes, I did. It looked like Doctor Perry's," Tom ran off to play with others, without giving the knife another thought. It was Dr. Perry's ! Fred looked at his watch and realized he only had a little time, so he started quickly, and found the old gentleman getting ready to visit a patient. "Is this yours?" cried Fred, in breathless haste, holding up the cause of a week's anxiety. "It was," said the doctor, "but I lost it the other day." "I found it," said Fred, "and have felt like a thief ever since. Here, take it. I've got to run. " "Hold on!" said the doctor. "I've got a new one, and you are quite welcome to this." "Am I? May I ? Oh! Thank you! Now, I'm the real owner of the knife. What a different feeling!" 24．Tom's doubt made Fred______. A．satisfied B．worried C．proud D．angry 25．After knowing the knife could be Dr. Perry's, Fred decided to _______. A．return it to Dr. Perry B．keep it himself C．give it to Tom D．hide it or burn it 26．What can we know about Fred from the story? A．He hoped to be a good friend of Tom's. B．He took himself as a smart boy. C．He expected to get the knife from Dr Perry. D．He felt happier to be an honest person. C Have you ever bought a new pair of shoes and started noticing the exact color and style of shoes everywhere? Is that type of shoes just becoming popular in your school? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Actually, the shoes were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously (有意识地). However, when that certain type of shoes becomes part of your life, you start recognizing all of the other shoes that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. Priming can happen in different ways. In one study, researchers made students walk around a room for 5 minutes at a slower pace than usual. After this short experience, the students were quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as “forgetful”, “old”, and “lonely” . The priming effects tend to produce a coherent (连贯的) reaction: if you think about old age, you may start to act older, and acting older can strengthen those thoughts. This research shows us that our thoughts can influence our actions, and then our actions can influence our thoughts in a continuous cycle. American psychologist William James reached similar conclusions a century ago, but he emphasized the priming effect on feelings. “Actions seem to follow feelings, but actually actions and feelings go together. And by managing the actions, we can manage the feelings.” To put it simply, if we want to feel cheerful, we can start by sitting up happily and to act and speak as if you were already happy. So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can take certain priming effects to make ourselves feel happier each day. One thing we have in common is our ability to think and feel. Thinking about the good things in our lives can produce the chemicals that make us feel happy. Especially when we take the time to think about what we’re grateful (感激的) for—like friends, family, or even small joys like a sunny day—we fill our minds with these “happy chemicals” . Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, but we will be “primed” to recognize the good things in our life. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will add extra positive effect on our state of mind. Therefore, by being aware of the power of our thoughts and actions, we can cultivate a happier, more fulfilling life. 27．When you go through “priming”, you ________. A．notice the things of the same color and style B．start recognizing things you didn’t notice before C．have an interest in fashion and buy popular things D．begin to follow other people’s actions and thoughts 28．What will the author probably agree with? A．Acting old can make people feel young in their mind. B．We can manage our thoughts by managing our feelings. C．Happy chemicals make us think of the good things in life. D．Practicing gratitude helps us to recognize positive things. 29．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Prime Yourself to Be Happier B．Actions Are Primed by Feelings C．Gratitude Is Important for Happiness D．Learn Priming to Understand Feelings D The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics surprisingly didn’t go to a typical physicist but instead to two pioneers in machine learning: John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton. What they did was to use principles from physics to make discoveries in machine learning, which pushed the development of AI. This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough. ▲ In simple terms, cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject. It means being curious and open to ideas from different fields—whether it’s science, art, history or technology—and using that knowledge to improve our own understanding. Cross-disciplinary learning is nothing new. We have seen many examples over the centuries. Even the ancient Greeks practised it. They believed that music, maths and astronomy (天文学) were interconnected. This helped them make groundbreaking discoveries. Great minds like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Zhang Heng gave us amazing and influential creations because they were inventors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and more, all at the same time. These inventors used knowledge from many different fields. As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies. They hope that by drawing from multiple areas, students can contribute to different fields and make a meaningful impact. Cross-disciplinary learning can help you gain new opinions, find creative solutions and most importantly, better prepare you to deal with the complex challenges of tomorrow. You never know where inspiration might come from. Sometimes the best ideas are found in the most unexpected places. So, go ahead, mix it up, learn from everything, and see how far it takes you！ 30．Which sentence should go into “___▲___ ”  in Paragraph 1? A．It’s cross-disciplinary learning at its best. B．This means AI is the new start of physics. C．The award brings attention to machine learning. D．Traditional physics involves no other subjects. 31．Why does the writer mention great minds in Paragraph 4? A．To show how clever they were. B．To tell how they made inventions. C．To explain why schools push cross-disciplinary learning. D．To introduce how cross-disciplinary learning developed. 32．What can we learn about cross-disciplinary learning from the passage? A．It was first created and practised by ancient Greeks. B．It helps find out where your inspiration comes from. C．It focuses only on the study of science and technology. D．It contributes to thinking beyond the boundaries of a subject. 33．Which of the four students is practising cross-disciplinary learning? A．Chen Xi does physics homework in a geography class. B．Zhang Jia uses maths knowledge to solve a biology problem. C．Wang Yi learns how to make paper-cutting in an art class. D．Li Na likes to listen to music while doing a chemistry experiment. 第II卷 （非选择题 共35分） 四、任务型阅读（共4小题，34-36每小题2分，37题4分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。 The Sport of Concentration Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me run farther and faster, sleep better, or monitor my heart rate more effectively. These gadgets claim they’ll make me a “better me”,  or so the story goes. Some of them might actually help, but a few months ago. I decided to sell all my sports gadgets. I now record my running times with just a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I started training for a marathon the old-fashioned way—without a device on my wrist tracking my pace or heart rate. To my surprise, running without all that information turned out to be a real joy. In the past, whenever my smartwatch told me I was running slower than I “should,” I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to. On several occasions, I was surprised to see real breakthroughs (突破) in my running times when I checked my notepad after workouts. If I had seen those numbers during the run, I might have slowed down. But since I didn’t know, I just kept running. Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about battery life. So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it. 34．When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets? 35．What is another positive thing about not using running gadgets any more? 36．What does the writer learn from the example of running? 37．What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so? (give at least 2 reasons) 五、书面表达（共1大题，满分10分） 38.根据所给提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 假如你是Ben，你的笔友Mike即将要和新同学聚餐，但他比较害羞，不知道该如何很好地和同学们交流，请你写一封邮件，向他提出建议，谈谈应该怎样和他人交流。 提示词语：communication, active listening, prepare some topics, ask for others’ ideas 提示问题： 1.How do you understand his problem? 2.What should he do to make good conversations?

My own pride and thoughts about how the homeless man might react to 15 just two coins were holding me back. I quickly realized that I was the only problem in this situation I almost showed my son, through my inaction, that what he had wasn’t enough. I almost made him believe that what he saw as a good thing—and what was truly a good thing—wasn’t enough to make a 16 in someone’s life. I almost taught him that pride mattered more than helping another person. Thank goodness I quickly drop that foolishness. I rolled down the window and said, “I’m sorry, man. I don’t have any cash on me, but my son back here wants to give you everything he 17 right now. He just turned five.” The smile on that man’s face lit up the crossroad, and he said to Justus, “Thank you so much!” The only thing that 18 the brightness of that stranger’s smile after that moment was the even bigger smile on my boy’s face! I also believed that a chain reaction of 19 started behind us that day, as other people rolled down their windows to help him too. My little boy, without even 20 it, reminded me once again through his actions that it was always about the heart.

"And he turned it over and over with the look of satisfaction on his face. "I guess I know who owns it," said Tom, looking at it carefully. "I guess you don't. It isn't Mr. Raymond's," Fred replied quickly. "I know. Mr. Raymond's is twice as large," said Tom, going on with his drawing. Tom's doubt was taking away Fred's enjoyment. In fact, Fred was not comfortable with the knife at all, for he felt that he was having something that did not belong to him and he got worried. He even had serious thoughts of burning it, or hiding it, or giving it away; but a better plan hit him. "Tom," said Fred, one day at break, "didn't you say that you knew who owned the knife?" "Yes, I did. It looked like Doctor Perry's," Tom ran off to play with others, without giving the knife another thought. It was Dr. Perry's ! Fred looked at his watch and realized he only had a little time, so he started quickly, and found the old gentleman getting ready to visit a patient. "Is this yours?" cried Fred, in breathless haste, holding up the cause of a week's anxiety. "It was," said the doctor, "but I lost it the other day." "I found it," said Fred, "and have felt like a thief ever since. Here, take it. I've got to run. " "Hold on!" said the doctor. "I've got a new one, and you are quite welcome to this." "Am I? May I ?

Is that type of shoes just becoming popular in your school? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Actually, the shoes were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously (有意识地). However, when that certain type of shoes becomes part of your life, you start recognizing all of the other shoes that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. Priming can happen in different ways. In one study, researchers made students walk around a room for 5 minutes at a slower pace than usual. After this short experience, the students were quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as “forgetful”, “old”, and “lonely” . The priming effects tend to produce a coherent (连贯的) reaction: if you think about old age, you may start to act older, and acting older can strengthen those thoughts. This research shows us that our thoughts can influence our actions, and then our actions can influence our thoughts in a continuous cycle. American psychologist William James reached similar conclusions a century ago, but he emphasized the priming effect on feelings. “Actions seem to follow feelings, but actually actions and feelings go together. And by managing the actions, we can manage the feelings.” To put it simply, if we want to feel cheerful, we can start by sitting up happily and to act and speak as if you were already happy. So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can take certain priming effects to make ourselves feel happier each day. One thing we have in common is our ability to think and feel. Thinking about the good things in our lives can produce the chemicals that make us feel happy. Especially when we take the time to think about what we’re grateful (感激的) for—like friends, family, or even small joys like a sunny day—we fill our minds with these “happy chemicals” . Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, but we will be “primed” to recognize the good things in our life. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will add extra positive effect on our state of mind. Therefore, by being aware of the power of our thoughts and actions, we can cultivate a happier, more fulfilling life. 27．When you go through “priming”, you ________. A．notice the things of the same color and style B．start recognizing things you didn’t notice before C．have an interest in fashion and buy popular things D．begin to follow other people’s actions and thoughts 28．What will the author probably agree with? A．Acting old can make people feel young in their mind. B．We can manage our thoughts by managing our feelings. C．Happy chemicals make us think of the good things in life. D．Practicing gratitude helps us to recognize positive things. 29．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Prime Yourself to Be Happier B．Actions Are Primed by Feelings C．Gratitude Is Important for Happiness D．Learn Priming to Understand Feelings 【答案】27．B 28．D 29．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了心理学中的“启动效应”，以及如何利用这一效应让自己更快乐。 27．细节理解题。根据第二段“the shoes were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously. However, when that certain type of shoes becomes part of your life, you start recognizing all of the other shoes that are the same, because you are already ‘primed’ to do so”可知，“启动效应”是指开始意识到之前未留意的事物。故选B。 28．观点态度题。根据最后一段“by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, but we will be ‘primed’ to recognize the good things in our life”可知，践行感恩有助于我们识别积极的事物。故选D。 29．最佳标题题。文章围绕“启动效应”展开，重点说明如何利用这一效应让自己更快乐，选项A“让自己做好准备更快乐”能概括文章主旨。故选A。 D The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics surprisingly didn’t go to a typical physicist but instead to two pioneers in machine learning: John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton. What they did was to use principles from physics to make discoveries in machine learning, which pushed the development of AI. This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough. ▲ In simple terms, cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject. It means being curious and open to ideas from different fields—whether it’s science, art, history or technology—and using that knowledge to improve our own understanding. Cross-disciplinary learning is nothing new. We have seen many examples over the centuries. Even the ancient Greeks practised it. They believed that music, maths and astronomy (天文学) were interconnected. This helped them make groundbreaking discoveries. Great minds like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Zhang Heng gave us amazing and influential creations because they were inventors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and more, all at the same time. These inventors used knowledge from many different fields. As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies. They hope that by drawing from multiple areas, students can contribute to different fields and make a meaningful impact. Cross-disciplinary learning can help you gain new opinions, find creative solutions and most importantly, better prepare you to deal with the complex challenges of tomorrow. You never know where inspiration might come from. Sometimes the best ideas are found in the most unexpected places. So, go ahead, mix it up, learn from everything, and see how far it takes you！ 30．Which sentence should go into “___▲___ ”  in Paragraph 1? A．It’s cross-disciplinary learning at its best. B．This means AI is the new start of physics. C．The award brings attention to machine learning. D．Traditional physics involves no other subjects. 31．Why does the writer mention great minds in Paragraph 4? A．To show how clever they were. B．To tell how they made inventions. C．To explain why schools push cross-disciplinary learning. D．To introduce how cross-disciplinary learning developed. 32．What can we learn about cross-disciplinary learning from the passage? A．It was first created and practised by ancient Greeks. B．It helps find out where your inspiration comes from. C．It focuses only on the study of science and technology. D．It contributes to thinking beyond the boundaries of a subject. 33．Which of the four students is practising cross-disciplinary learning? A．Chen Xi does physics homework in a geography class. B．Zhang Jia uses maths knowledge to solve a biology problem. C．Wang Yi learns how to make paper-cutting in an art class. D．Li Na likes to listen to music while doing a chemistry experiment. 【答案】30．A 31．C 32．D 33．B 【导语】本文以2024年诺贝尔物理学奖授予机器学习先驱为例，介绍了跨学科学习的概念、历史背景、现实应用及其在应对未来挑战中的重要性。 30．推理判断题。根据“This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough.”可知，两位获奖者利用物理学原理在机器学习领域取得突破，这正是跨学科思想融合的范例。选项A“这是跨学科学习的最佳体现。”能够对前文进行总结并呼应文章主题。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据“These inventors used knowledge from many different fields.”以及“As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies.”可知，作者列举这些伟人是为了证明跨学科思考能带来伟大成就，而这正是现代学校推行跨学科学习的原因。故选C。 32．细节理解题。根据“As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject.”可知，跨学科学习有助于人们打破单一学科的界限进行思考。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据“cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject”以及“using that knowledge to improve our own understanding.”可知，跨学科学习的核心在于不同学科知识的交叉与融合。选项B“张佳用数学知识来解决一个生物问题。”描述了利用数学知识解决生物学问题，属于学科交叉应用，符合文中对跨学科学习的定义。故选B。 第II卷 （非选择题 共35分） 四、任务型阅读（共4小题，34-36每小题2分，37题4分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。 The Sport of Concentration Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me run farther and faster, sleep better, or monitor my heart rate more effectively. These gadgets claim they’ll make me a “better me”,  or so the story goes. Some of them might actually help, but a few months ago. I decided to sell all my sports gadgets. I now record my running times with just a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I started training for a marathon the old-fashioned way—without a device on my wrist tracking my pace or heart rate. To my surprise, running without all that information turned out to be a real joy. In the past, whenever my smartwatch told me I was running slower than I “should,” I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to. On several occasions, I was surprised to see real breakthroughs (突破) in my running times when I checked my notepad after workouts. If I had seen those numbers during the run, I might have slowed down. But since I didn’t know, I just kept running. Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about battery life. So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it. 34．When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets? 35．What is another positive thing about not using running gadgets any more? 36．What does the writer learn from the example of running? 37．What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so? (give at least 2 reasons) 【答案】34．A few months ago. 35．It helps the writer concentrate more on the running itself. 36．The more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. 37．(Sample answer) ①Positive: Sports gadgets can provide useful data to track progress and motivate users./②Negative: They may distract users from enjoying the activity itself and create unnecessary pressure. 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过讲述自己放弃使用运动设备、改用传统方式训练马拉松的经历，探讨了科技与运动表现的关系。作者发现摆脱设备后不仅能更专注于跑步本身，还意外实现了突破，进而引发对“过度依赖技术改进表现”的反思。 34．根据第二段“a few months ago. I decided to sell all my sports gadgets”可知，作者是在几个月前决定卖掉所有运动设备的。故填A few months ago. 35．根据第六段“Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself”可知，不再使用跑步设备的另一个积极影响是帮助作者更专注于跑步本身。故填It helps the writer concentrate more on the running itself. 36．根据第七段“No matter what it is, the more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance”可知，作者从跑步的例子中领悟到：越担心进步，就越会影响我们的表现。故填The more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. 37．答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案：①Positive: Sports gadgets can provide useful data to track progress and motivate users. / ②Negative: They may distract users from enjoying the activity itself and create unnecessary pressure. 五、书面表达（共1大题，满分10分） 38.根据所给提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 假如你是Ben，你的笔友Mike即将要和新同学聚餐，但他比较害羞，不知道该如何很好地和同学们交流，请你写一封邮件，向他提出建议，谈谈应该怎样和他人交流。 提示词语：communication, active listening, prepare some topics, ask for others’ ideas 提示问题： 1.How do you understand his problem? 2.What should he do to make good conversations?

My 5-year-old son and I were coming back from school when we saw a(n) 13 man on the side of the road. I wanted to give the man some money, but I didn’t have any cash(现金). My son Justus noticed the man as well. And then it happened. Justus insisted on giving the man the 30 cents he had in his pocket. I was more than happy that he wanted to do this with 14 . But honestly I was hesitant (犹豫不决的), I didn’t want to give this man who clearly needed all the help he could get, just 30 cents. My own pride and thoughts about how the homeless man might react to 15 just two coins were holding me back. I quickly realized that I was the only problem in this situation I almost showed my son, through my inaction, that what he had wasn’t enough. I almost made him believe that what he saw as a good thing—and what was truly a good thing—wasn’t enough to make a 16 in someone’s life. I almost taught him that pride mattered more than helping another person. Thank goodness I quickly drop that foolishness. I rolled down the window and said, “I’m sorry, man. I don’t have any cash on me, but my son back here wants to give you everything he 17 right now. He just turned five.” The smile on that man’s face lit up the crossroad, and he said to Justus, “Thank you so much!” The only thing that 18 the brightness of that stranger’s smile after that moment was the even bigger smile on my boy’s face! I also believed that a chain reaction of 19 started behind us that day, as other people rolled down their windows to help him too.

B Finding the Owner "It's mine," said Fred, showing a pocketknife with a shining blade （刀片） "Just what I've always wanted. "And he turned it over and over with the look of satisfaction on his face. "I guess I know who owns it," said Tom, looking at it carefully. "I guess you don't. It isn't Mr. Raymond's," Fred replied quickly. "I know. Mr. Raymond's is twice as large," said Tom, going on with his drawing. Tom's doubt was taking away Fred's enjoyment. In fact, Fred was not comfortable with the knife at all, for he felt that he was having something that did not belong to him and he got worried. He even had serious thoughts of burning it, or hiding it, or giving it away; but a better plan hit him. "Tom," said Fred, one day at break, "didn't you say that you knew who owned the knife?" "Yes, I did. It looked like Doctor Perry's," Tom ran off to play with others, without giving the knife another thought. It was Dr. Perry's ! Fred looked at his watch and realized he only had a little time, so he started quickly, and found the old gentleman getting ready to visit a patient. "Is this yours?" cried Fred, in breathless haste, holding up the cause of a week's anxiety. "It was," said the doctor, "but I lost it the other day." "I found it," said Fred, "and have felt like a thief ever since. Here, take it. I've got to run. " "Hold on!" said the doctor. "I've got a new one, and you are quite welcome to this." "Am I? May I ?

C Have you ever bought a new pair of shoes and started noticing the exact color and style of shoes everywhere? Is that type of shoes just becoming popular in your school? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Actually, the shoes were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously (有意识地). However, when that certain type of shoes becomes part of your life, you start recognizing all of the other shoes that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. Priming can happen in different ways. In one study, researchers made students walk around a room for 5 minutes at a slower pace than usual. After this short experience, the students were quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as “forgetful”, “old”, and “lonely” . The priming effects tend to produce a coherent (连贯的) reaction: if you think about old age, you may start to act older, and acting older can strengthen those thoughts. This research shows us that our thoughts can influence our actions, and then our actions can influence our thoughts in a continuous cycle. American psychologist William James reached similar conclusions a century ago, but he emphasized the priming effect on feelings. “Actions seem to follow feelings, but actually actions and feelings go together. And by managing the actions, we can manage the feelings.” To put it simply, if we want to feel cheerful, we can start by sitting up happily and to act and speak as if you were already happy. So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can take certain priming effects to make ourselves feel happier each day. One thing we have in common is our ability to think and feel. Thinking about the good things in our lives can produce the chemicals that make us feel happy. Especially when we take the time to think about what we’re grateful (感激的) for—like friends, family, or even small joys like a sunny day—we fill our minds with these “happy chemicals” . Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, but we will be “primed” to recognize the good things in our life. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will add extra positive effect on our state of mind. Therefore, by being aware of the power of our thoughts and actions, we can cultivate a happier, more fulfilling life. 27．When you go through “priming”, you ________. A．notice the things of the same color and style B．start recognizing things you didn’t notice before C．have an interest in fashion and buy popular things D．begin to follow other people’s actions and thoughts 28．What will the author probably agree with? A．Acting old can make people feel young in their mind. B．We can manage our thoughts by managing our feelings. C．Happy chemicals make us think of the good things in life. D．Practicing gratitude helps us to recognize positive things. 29．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Prime Yourself to Be Happier B．Actions Are Primed by Feelings C．Gratitude Is Important for Happiness D．Learn Priming to Understand Feelings D The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics surprisingly didn’t go to a typical physicist but instead to two pioneers in machine learning: John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton. What they did was to use principles from physics to make discoveries in machine learning, which pushed the development of AI. This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough. ▲ In simple terms, cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject. It means being curious and open to ideas from different fields—whether it’s science, art, history or technology—and using that knowledge to improve our own understanding. Cross-disciplinary learning is nothing new. We have seen many examples over the centuries. Even the ancient Greeks practised it. They believed that music, maths and astronomy (天文学) were interconnected. This helped them make groundbreaking discoveries. Great minds like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Zhang Heng gave us amazing and influential creations because they were inventors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and more, all at the same time. These inventors used knowledge from many different fields. As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies. They hope that by drawing from multiple areas, students can contribute to different fields and make a meaningful impact. Cross-disciplinary learning can help you gain new opinions, find creative solutions and most importantly, better prepare you to deal with the complex challenges of tomorrow. You never know where inspiration might come from. Sometimes the best ideas are found in the most unexpected places. So, go ahead, mix it up, learn from everything, and see how far it takes you！ 30．Which sentence should go into “___▲___ ”  in Paragraph 1? A．It’s cross-disciplinary learning at its best. B．This means AI is the new start of physics. C．The award brings attention to machine learning. D．Traditional physics involves no other subjects. 31．Why does the writer mention great minds in Paragraph 4? A．To show how clever they were. B．To tell how they made inventions. C．To explain why schools push cross-disciplinary learning. D．To introduce how cross-disciplinary learning developed. 32．What can we learn about cross-disciplinary learning from the passage? A．It was first created and practised by ancient Greeks. B．It helps find out where your inspiration comes from. C．It focuses only on the study of science and technology. D．It contributes to thinking beyond the boundaries of a subject. 33．Which of the four students is practising cross-disciplinary learning? A．Chen Xi does physics homework in a geography class. B．Zhang Jia uses maths knowledge to solve a biology problem. C．Wang Yi learns how to make paper-cutting in an art class. D．Li Na likes to listen to music while doing a chemistry experiment. 第II卷 （非选择题 共35分） 四、任务型阅读（共4小题，34-36每小题2分，37题4分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。 The Sport of Concentration Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me run farther and faster, sleep better, or monitor my heart rate more effectively. These gadgets claim they’ll make me a “better me”,  or so the story goes. Some of them might actually help, but a few months ago. I decided to sell all my sports gadgets. I now record my running times with just a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I started training for a marathon the old-fashioned way—without a device on my wrist tracking my pace or heart rate. To my surprise, running without all that information turned out to be a real joy. In the past, whenever my smartwatch told me I was running slower than I “should,” I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to. On several occasions, I was surprised to see real breakthroughs (突破) in my running times when I checked my notepad after workouts. If I had seen those numbers during the run, I might have slowed down. But since I didn’t know, I just kept running. Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about battery life. So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it. 34．When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets? 35．What is another positive thing about not using running gadgets any more? 36．What does the writer learn from the example of running? 37．What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so?
