Dear Alec,
I’m delighted to hear about your upcoming visit. I highly recommend a strawberry-picking activity at a local farm located in the countryside.
Combining hands-on farm experience with relaxation, it allows you to pick fresh strawberries, enjoy them and have the chance to make and taste homemade jam. Not only does this activity offer a close encounter with nature, but it also provides a glimpse into rural life and offers a refreshing break from city routines, which I think is both enjoyable and culturally enriching.
I’m sure you’ll love it.
Best regards,
Li Hua
第二节:(满分25分)
The boat turned and began moving steadily toward Sam. His heart pounded with a mix of hope and disbelief. Weak from exhaustion, he forced his arms to wave, shouting with what little strength remained. Two figures stood on the deck, leaning over the side. Soon, strong hands reached down, grasped his wrists, and pulled him out of the cold water. Shivering and breathing heavily, Sam lay on the familiar deck, looking up at the faces of two strangers. “Thank you,” he whispered, tears mixing with seawater on his face. Andrew wrapped a dry blanket around his shoulders while Jack handed him a bottle of water. In that moment, Sam felt an overwhelming relief wash over him.
Back on the boat, Sam could hardly believe he was safe. He explained how he had slipped and fallen overboard, watching helplessly as his boat drifted away. Andrew smiled warmly and said, “We’re just glad we found you in time.” As they headed back to shore, Sam realized how lucky he was—not only to be alive, but to have been found by such kind and determined people. That evening, after reporting to the Coast Guard and ensuring Sam was fully recovered, Andrew and Jack drove him home. Before parting, Sam shook their hands firmly, his voice filled with emotion: “You didn’t just save my life. You gave me back my faith in people.”

Text 1
W: Excuse me. Is this the line for the new Tom Cruise movie?
M: Yep, you’re in the right place!
W: Wow, it is going to be a really long wait. (1)
Text 2
W: Dad, where is my towel? I left it in the bathroom to dry.
M: I washed it with the rest of the laundry. I think I folded it up and put it by your pillow.(2)
W: Got it. You’re the best, Dad!
Text 3
M: How long does the battery last on a full charge?
W: You can drive about 300 miles, but charging is the real issue—there aren’t any stations close to us!
M: Hmm... Still, it’s way cheaper and greener than a gas car. It’s hard to decide. (3)
Text 4
M: Hey, Jane, where are you?
W: I’m in that new clothing store next to the bank. They have some shirts that would look perfect on you.
M: It’s the one opposite the cinema, right? (4) The place used to be a bookstore.
W: Yeah, you’re right!
Text 5
W: OK, have you got that? Two orders of chips and two bottles of apple juice. The address is 18 Royal Gardens. Do you know where that is?
M: Yes, ma’am. I should be there in 30 minutes. (5)
Text 6
W: Have you checked your email? The manager said she was going to send you the work schedule this morning. (6)
M: Not yet. I’ve been dealing with our social media accounts all morning. I haven’t even had time for a cup of coffee.
W: I see. It can be difficult to keep track of all these things. Don’t you think?
M: Absolutely. Sometimes I wish we still used old-fashioned phones! Then everything would be much simpler. (7)
W: I couldn’t agree more.
Text 7
M: Cathy, have you ever faced any fears?
W: Plenty! Especially since starting university.
M: You mean leaving home, taking exams ... that sort of thing?
W: Not really. But meeting other people was scary for me at first. (8)
M: You met people before, right?
W: True, but I’d known them all my life. Here, I had to get to know various new people and learn how to communicate with them.
M: Weren’t they friendly?
W: They were friendly enough. But they come from all over the world—France, Russia, and everywhere else. Fortunately, we can all speak in English, which happens to be my major in college. (9)
M: Yes, even in your spare time, it helps you study.
W: Exactly.
M: What do you plan to do after graduation? Translation work, perhaps?
W: I’m hoping to go into teaching.
M: What a coincidence! I want to teach history. (10)
Text 8
M: Look at the map. We started here early this morning and now we’re at this point.
W: How can you tell?
M: If you look closely, you’ll notice a small blue section—the lake we’re standing next to. (11) This track takes us up the hill, then down to the forest with a river running through it.
W: Hmm, how will we cross the river?
M: We’ll have to follow the river for about a mile until we reach this bridge. Then we can cross the bridge and cycle on the road. (12)
W: That’ll bring us within five miles of the camp, but there are no direct paths through the fields, and they’re all uphill.
M: That’s right. It’ll make the journey a bit longer.
W: A few more miles won’t hurt. Come on, let’s go. It’ll be dark soon. (13)
Text 9
W: How is the job hunt going?
M: I’ve applied to more than 10 companies and have had three interviews. I got two job offers, (14) but they’re not what I expected.
W: Why not?
M: Neither of them (14) offered me a good salary.
W: Do you like the companies and the benefits they offer?
M: I do, especially one of them called The Creator. They’ve received a lot of great reviews from employees, and offer a great benefit package, including medical and dental insurance, as well as more holiday time than most other companies.
W: That’s great! But don’t turn down the job offer. You can negotiate the salary they give you. (15)
M: I had been at the company we were at for so long. (16) I forgot about the job hunting process. I’m a bit nervous about asking for more.
W: Listen! If they offered you a job, that means they want you! Especially in your field, data analytics, you are needed in today’s job market. Everyone needs people to analyze and make sense of all the data being collected. (17)
M: You have a point. I’ll give them a call right now.
Text 10
Hi everyone, and welcome to today’s Big Tire Bikes tour! This is the Berlin Highlights Tour, which means that we’ll be visiting all the big, important sights. It’s a nice and relaxing ride around the city, taking in the Berlin Wall, the Reichstag and Museum Island, among others. The tour usually takes around six hours, including lunch. (19) That means we should arrive at our final destination, the famous TV Tower, (18) by about 5:00 p.m. (19) Before we set off, let’s talk about safety. Do we have any Brits or Australians in the group? Please don’t be shy. Okay, the Green family. Great! But I need to remind you that here in Germany, we need to stick to the right-hand side of the road. (20) It’s basic but important! Berlin is a bike-friendly city, so we’ll spend most of the tour on bike paths. However, there are places where we will need to cross traffic, so I need everybody to be aware of their surroundings. Never cycle through red lights and keep an eye out for cars turning right. Okay? Now, I’ve had a few people asking me about lunchtime arrangements, so let’s talk about it now ...
答案解析:
第二部分:阅读理解
A
语篇是应用文,主题是人与社会之历史、社会与文化。本文介绍了四个适合春季步行的目的地。每个地点都以其独特的步行体验为核心,从历史城墙、海滨风光到都市街景与
湖光山色,展现了用脚步探索地域魅力的方式。
21. D 细节理解题。根据Lucca, Italy部分的最后一句可知,卢卡城墙顶部有绿树成荫的
步道。
22. C 细节理解题。根据Cape Town, South Africa部分 的第二句可知,V&A海滨区遍
布各类商店、餐厅和酒吧。因此,游客可以在此体验多样的餐饮和购物。
23. C 细节理解题。根据Knightsbridge, United Kingdom部分提到的many old Victorian buildings和Zurich, Switzerland部分提到的ancient buildings and important historical sites可知,两者都拥有历史建筑。
B
语篇是记叙文,主题是人与自我之做人与做事。一张被火焰吞噬的全家福,带走的不只是影像,更是一段无法复刻的时光。艺术家Elena Vance选择用另一种方式守护这些记忆:她通过倾听受灾者的描述,将逝去的珍贵记忆绘成画作, 用艺术治愈破碎的心灵。
24. B 细节理解题。文章首段第一句明确提到一场大火烧毁了米勒家的房子,他们几乎失
去了一切。
25. D 推理判断题。第三段指出,Elena的目标不是精确复制照片,而是通过温暖的色调与柔和的笔触,来传达那个夜晚的氛围感——柔和的灯光、幸福的笑脸以及团聚的温馨。
26. B 推理判断题。第二段第二句提到Elena深切关心人们的痛苦,并分担他们的悲伤,希望用艺术来帮助缓解他们的难过,体现其富有同情心;倒数第二段提到她为受灾家庭免费作画,且认为收入不重要,体现其无私。
27. B 主旨大意题。全文围绕Elena通过倾听描述,用绘画为受灾家庭重建记忆展开,强调艺术治愈心灵的力量。B项 “治愈破碎的心:以言入画,重塑记忆”准确涵盖主题。
C
28.C 细节理解题。文章明确指出,传统健康建议(如步行、睡眠、饮食)忽视了关键要素 “human connection”(人际联系)。健康不仅是身体和精神的,也是社会性的,其核心在于建立纽带和归属感。因此被忽视的要素是“有意义的社会纽带”(Meaningful social bonds)。其他选项(A. 睡眠 B. 饮食 D.运动)是文中提到的传统建议内容,而非被忽视的要素。
29.D 细节理解题。作者在第三段用具体数据证明孤独的危害:缺乏人际连接会使中风风险增加32%,痴呆症风险增加50%,早逝风险增加29%。这些百分比形式的统计数据(statistical risk data)是主要的论证方式。
30.B 细节理解题。2018年的调查显示,人们认为社会支持对寿命的重要性远低于吸烟或运动。然而,事实是,社会关系是预测死亡风险最大(number one and number two)的因素。这表明人们低估了(undervalue)社会支持的重要性。其他选项(A. 忽视运动 C. 吸烟排第三 D. 全球寿命下降)在文中无依据或表述错误。
31.B 推理判断题。作者的核心论点是:社会连接(human connection / social health)是整体健康和寿命的至关重要却被忽视的决定性因素,其重要性甚至被低估。 选项B分析: “每日聊天”(Daily chat)象征积极的社会互动,“胜过一颗药丸”(outrun a pill)形象地表明日常社交在促进健康和预防疾病方面可能比医疗干预更基础有效,符合主旨。其他选项不符原因:A. 好好休息治愈百病: 过度强调休息,忽视社会连接。C. 健康饮食可以替代拥抱: 暗示饮食能取代社交(拥抱代表连接),与作者认为社会健康不可或缺的观点矛盾。 D. 独自散步确保长寿:代表作者指出的危害健康的社交孤立状态,与强调人际互动的核心论点相反。
D
语篇是说明文,主题是人与社会之文学、艺术与体育。 AI驱动的图像生成工具已经开始取代一些艺术家的工作,这引发了一些艺术家的担忧。有些艺术家正在努力寻找解决方 案,以保护他们的作品和风格。同时,也有一些艺术家认为这项技术可以为他们带来更多的可能性。
32. C细节理解题。根据第一段This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are “trained” on millions of pieces of image and text data got from publicly available content online可知,人工智能驱动的图像生成工具是由大量在线艺术作品训练出来的。
33. D词义猜测题。画线词后的such as a lack of diversity in the data是在举例说明生成图像的缺点,故该画线单词所在句子的意思是:使用这些工具生成的早期图像充满了“瑕疵”, 例如数据缺乏多样性,这标志着这些图像是机器制作的。
34. A推理判断题。第三段首句为本段主题句,表明“人工智能可以接管创意工作”这个说法已经成为事实,即人工智能已对创意工作构成威胁。下文举例说明主题句内容。故 Greg Rutkowski的话表达了人工智能对创意工作构成威胁的观点。
35. B观点态度题。根据最后一段Most artists believe that technology could open up possibilities for them to make better work, or at least to work more efficiently可知,大多数艺术家对人工智能驱动的图像生成工具持肯定态度。
七选五
本文是一篇说明文。文章指出幽默能助力科学传播,可简化知识、提升参与度,但也存在潜在风险,科学传播中使用幽默需把握好平衡。
36.D 由上文“This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online.(幽默的这种魔力不仅在日常生活中奏效,在科学领域也大放异 彩,尤其是在网络上)”可知,前文指出幽默在科学领域的积极作用,空格处应承接该话题,说明幽默对科学家沟通的正面影响,D项“A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.(一点幽默能极大地提升科学家的沟通效果)”符合语境,承接上文的“shines in the field of science”,总起下文对幽默作用的具体阐述。故选D项。
37.F由上文“Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.(首先,幽默能简化晦涩的科学知识)”可知,此处强调幽默对理解复杂科学知识的作用,空格处应进一步解释该作用,F项“It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.(它有助于让普通人理解复杂的概念)”符合语境,其中“making complex concepts understandable”与上文“simplifies tough scientific knowledge”相呼应,衔接紧密。故选F项。
38.B 由下文“Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts.(科学家们在社交媒体上分享实验室实验的趣味故事,往往比枯燥的学术帖子吸引更多互动)”可知,后文说明幽默能提升观众的参与度,空格处应提出该观点,B项“It also boosts audience engagement effectively.(它还能有效提高观众的参与度)”符合语境,其中“boosts audience engagement”与下文“attract more interactions”相呼应,“also”承接上文幽默的第一个作用,形成并列。故选B项。
39.E由下文“The hidden risks deserve our attention.(其潜在的风险值得我们关注)”可知,后文转而讲述幽默在科学传播中的负面问题,空格处应起到转折过渡的作用,指出幽默的双重性,E项“Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.(不过,科学传播中的幽默是一把双刃剑)”符合语境,承接上文对幽默积极作用的阐述,引出下文的风险分析,形成转折。故选E项。
40.A由上文“Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness.(合理使用幽默需要在生动表达和专业严谨之间找到平衡。既不能掩盖核心的科学信息,也不能过于肤浅而失去严肃性)”可知,前文强调使用幽默的分寸,空格处应承接该内容,指出不当使用的危害,A项“Overuse harms professionalism.(过度使用会损害专业性)”符合语境,其中“Overuse”对应上文“neither...nor...”的不当使用情况,“harms professionalism”呼应“professional precision”,且为下文“掌握平衡拉近与公众距离”做反向铺垫。故选A项。
完形填空:
语篇是记叙文,主题是人与自我之生活与学习。这篇文章讲述了作者减重之后的心理挣扎。尽管他努力减重了250 多磅,但是松弛的皮肤和肥胖纹仍然让他感到自卑,在社交场合中尤其如此。最终,他意识到真正的自由不是隐藏缺陷, 而是接纳自己。
41. A 根据空后的While everyone else was in shorts, I was the only one wearing long pants可知,别人都穿着短裤,只有作者穿着长裤。所以,他与众不同。
42. B 根据下文的If I wore shorts, would people be staring at my loose skin and the stretch marks on my legs?可知,作者担心他如果穿短裤的话,别人会盯着他腿部的松弛皮肤和肥胖 纹。所以,他对自己的腿不自信。
43. C 根据空后的By the time I graduated from college, I weighed over 450 pounds. However, I didn’t give up and finally lost over 250 pounds可知,作者体重450多磅并最终减重250多 磅,说明他长期都在与体重作“斗争”。
44. B 根据空后的the stretch marks and loose skin可知, 减重后的“肥胖纹和松弛皮肤”是过去的痕迹或提醒。
45. D 根据下文的it felt like I was back with the “old me” 可知,作者旧的自卑感会“重新浮现”。
46. D 根据下文的My loose skin isn’t a sign of shame可知,作者起初觉得自己身体上的痕迹是羞耻。
47. C 根据上文的I caught myself wondering: If I wore shorts, would people be staring at my loose skin and the stretch marks on my legs?可知,作者时常会担心别人的评价。
48. A 作者穿长裤实际是在“隐藏”身体。
49. B 根据空前的 48 wasn’t protecting me可知,与“保护”形成对比,隐藏身体反而“偷走”了作者的存在感、乐趣和自由。
50. D 根据空前的who lost over 250 pounds and maintained the weight for two decades可知,作者减重250多磅并保持了二十年,他应该能骄傲地拥有自己的身体。
51. C 作者意识到他松弛的皮肤不是羞耻的标志,而是生存和转变的证明。
52. A 上文提到“作者松弛的皮肤不是羞耻的标志”,因此,批评者反映出的是他们自己的人格。
53. C 上文提到作者在别人都穿短裤的日子里还忍受着 炎热穿着长裤,那么此时结合空后的in future可知,作者决定今后要舒心做自己。
54. B 根据后文作者的顿悟可知,作者值得这份自由,你也值得。无论你的旅程是关于体重还是别的什么,现在就开始接受自己吧。
55. A 参考上题解析
语法填空:
语篇是说明文,主题是人与社会之历史、社会与文化。作为陕北现存规模最大的窑洞村落,甄家湾村不仅记录着人类 的穴居智慧,更见证着一场跨越时空的人与自然的对话。如 今这些窑洞正以崭新的方式延续着“天人合一”的东方哲学。
56. Founded。found与Zhenjiawan village之间存在逻辑上 的动宾关系,需用V-ed形式作状语,故填Founded。
57. largest。空前是冠词the,后面是限定范围in northern Shaanxi Province,因此需填形容词的最高级largest。
58. representing。They与represent之间存在逻辑上的主谓 关系,需用V-ing形式作伴随状语,故填representing。
59. it。此处需用代词it指代creates a cave dwelling这件事, 故填it。
60. an。此处用不定冠词表泛指,又因为arched以元音音 素开头,故填an。
61. To strengthen。此处需用动词不定式表目的,故填To strengthen。
62. until。根据语境可知,此处表示“不断调整石块的角度 直到它们稳固”,故填until。
63. have been transformed。transform与Newly built cave dwellings之间存在动宾关系,需用被动语态;再根据 in recent years可知,此处时态为现在完成时,故填have been transformed。
64. carefully。此处需用副词修饰动词preserved,故填 carefully。
65. collective。根据空前的our及空后的名词memory可 知,此处需用形容词修饰名词,故填collective,意为“共同的、 集体的”

In the summer of 2025,when a fire swept through the Miller family's home,they lost
almost everything.Among the lost items was a photograph-one that showed the family
gathered around the Thanksgiving table years ago.It was not just a picture but a memory of a
happy moment when everyone was together.
James Miller felt that losing the photo was like losing a piece of their family story.Then he
learned about a local artist named Elena Vance,who deeply cares about people's suffering and
shares in their pain,hoping to use art to help ease their sadness.She offered to help people like
him by painting their lost memories-not from photographs,but from the descriptions they
could give.
Elena asked each family member to describe the scene in their own words.She gathered all
these pieces of memory like putting together a puzzle.Using these stories,Elena began to paint.
She did not try to copy a missing photo exactly.Instead,she wanted to express the feeling of that
evening-the soft light,the happy faces and the sense of being together.She used warm colors
and gentle brushwork to show not just people around a table,but a family connected by love.
When the Miller family saw the finished painting,they were deeply moved.The painting
did more than show a scene-it brought back the emotion,the warmth and the unity they had
第4页共12页
felt.
Elena normally sells her artwork,but for families who had lost everything,she painted for
free."Personal income is not what matters;the key is that art can heal the human heart,"she
explained.
Elena has been painting for those who have lost their memories in the disaster.From
people's descriptions,beautiful scenes come to life on paper-family trips at sunset,starlit
barbecue nights,a spring garden proposal,a child's peaceful nap,and walking pets through
flowers.Life's beauty lives in these scenes.Our real treasures aren't possessions but shared
moments with loved ones.
24.What happened to James Miller in the summer of 2025?
A.He left his childhood house.
B.His house was burned down.
C.He lost a beloved family member.
D.His valuable painting went up in flames.

A.The vividness of figures.
B.The great details of the scene
C.The exact background of the story.D.The emotional atmosphere of the dinner.
26.Which of the following can best describe Elena?
A.Flexible and creative.
B.Sympathetic and selfless.
C.Responsible and generous.
D.Talented and knowledgeable.
27.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Happy Family Reunion:The Best Thanksgiving Ever
B.Heal Broken Hearts:Painting Memories from Words
C.Live in the Moment:Life Is Better with Loved Ones
D.Inspiration from Nature:Rewarding Life of an Artist

wellness influencers perfectly.You walk 10,000 steps a day.You get eight hours of quality sleep
at night.You eat plenty of fresh vegetables and avoid processed foods.Your physical and mental
health improve as a result-but only up to a point.
Traditional health advice overlooks a vital element:human connection.Your relationships can
determine how long you live,and your social interactions influence whether or not you will
develop certain diseases like heart disease and depression.Health is not only physical or mental.It
is also social.While physical health concems the body and mental health the mind,social health
centers on relationships.Being socially healthy requires establishing bonds,belonging to
communities,and feeling supported,valued,and loved.

Today,social health shows widespread decline.According to Gallup,330 million adults
around the globe suffer through weeks at a time without speaking to a single family member or
friend,and 20%of all adults worldwide don't have anyone to seek help from.This lack of
connection is dangerous,.increasing people's risk of stroke(中风)by32%,dementia(痴呆)by
50%and early death by 29%.
Most people underestimate the importance of relationships for health.A 2018 survey in the
US and UK found people perceived relational factors like social support as far less important for
life expectancy than factors like smoking or exercise.However,in fact,researchers found social
integration and social support were the number one and number two biggest predictors of risk of
death.
While the impact of factors like smoking and exercise are well known,we clearly have a
long way to go toward a broad understanding that connection is a vital determinant of overall
health,wellbeing and life expectancy

This month,the Internet was flooded with amazing digital art portraits ()Users
uploaded their photographs to the app and then-for a small fee-it used AI to transform their
pictures into,say,a magical warrior princess version of themselves,in no time at all.This year
has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators,which are "trained"on millions of
pieces of image and text data got from publicly available content online.Anyone can now
produce professional-looking images,without having any training in art or design themselves.
Those working in the more cognitive creative industries have long felt that they had nothing
to fear about automation.After all,how could a computer ever recreate the quality of a
第6页共12页
masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci?Early images generated with these tools were full of
blemishes,such as a lack of diversity in the data,which marked them as machine-made.But as
the results have become more convincing,those image generators cause concern.
Anyone inclined (to regard the idea that AI can take over creative jobs as a rumor
should know:it is already happening.These tools'ability to create imagery in the style of
specific artists is fun,but when it comes to living artists who have spent years developing their
own distinctive style,this isn't at all brilliant.Fantasy art illustrator Greg Rutkowski found that
his name was one of the most popular prompts on the AI platforms."The only thing that could at
least stop feeding the algorithu (is to stop posting your work on the Internet,which is
impossible in our industry,"said Rutkowski.
Some artists have been working to develop solutions.Among them are Berlin-based artists
Mat Dryhurst and Holly Herndon.They have created a search function that anyone can use to
see whether their work has been collected for LAION,which is used to train most AI image
generators.Their organization,Spawning,is also developing another tool that would allow
artists to set permissions on how their style and paintings can be used.
Most artists believe that technology could open up possibilities for them to make better
work,or at least to work more efficiently."I see it less as a headache and more of an opportunity,"
the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said."Like everything else,there will always be
artists who can use the tools better."
32.What do we know about AI-driven image generators?
A.They are undergoing free trials
B.They provide restricted instant service.
C.They are trained on vast numbers of online artworks.
D.They assist non-professionals in taking better pictures.
33.What does the underlined word"blemishes"in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Wonders.
B.Coincidences.C.Comments
D.Shortcomings.
34.What do Greg Rutkowski's words convey to us?
A.AI is posing a threat to creative jobs.
B.Artists'works are falling behind those of AI.
C.Artists'rising to fame is a double-edged sword.
D.AI is simplifying the working process of artists.
35.What is most artists'attitude towards AI-driven image generators?
A.Critical.
B.Positive.
C.Indifferent.
D.Contradictory.

People favor humor,as it lights up daily moments,eases awkwardness and makes every
interaction warm and enjoyable.This magic of humor doesn't just work in daily life;it also
shines in the field of science,especially online.36
Firstly,humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.37 For example,explaining AI in
self-driving cars with a funny analogy about"machines learning like clumsy toddlers"makes
abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand.38 Scientists sharing clever
and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more
interactions than dry academic posts.Additionally,humor humanizes scientists,as seen in
popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.
39 The hidden risks deserve our attention.If the content itself is untrue,humor can
even replace facts,leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just
based on the amusing posts they see.Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite
effect,as it will quickly make scientists lose the public's trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision.It
should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses
seriousness.40 Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with
the public,making science more welcoming and popular.
A.Overuse harms professionalism.
B.It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
C.It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
D.A little humor can greatly enhance scientists'communication effect.
E.Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword,though.
F.It's a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.
G.It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.

I attended a summer barbecue recently.As soon as I arrived,I found myself 41 there.
While everyone else was in shorts,I was the only one wearing long pants.Why did I dress like
that?Simple:I was not 42 about my legs.
第8页共12页
For years,I had 43 my weight.By the time I graduated from college,I weighed over
450 pounds.However,I didn't give up and finally lost over 250 pounds.Of course,the journey
came with its own
44 the stretch marks and loose skin.Even though I knew losing
weight helped me feel freer,the old self-consciousness(自我意识)could45 when I
least expected it.
It was at that barbecue that the weight of 46 returned.I caught myself wondering:
If I wore shorts,would people be staring at my loose skin and the stretch marks on my legs?
Suddenly,it felt like I was back with the "old me",the one who always worried about other
people's 47
Then it hit me:48 wasn't protecting me.It was 49 my presence,fun and
freedom.If I,who lost over 250 pounds and maintained the weight for two decades,can't own
my body 50,who will?My loose skin isn't a sign of shame;it's 51 of survival
and transformation.
If someone chooses to stare and criticize,it 52 who they are far more than who I
am.So I'm committed to feeling 53 in future.I 54 that freedom,and so do you.
Whether your journey is about weight or something else,start 55 yourself right now.

It was a lazy July day on the sea,about 40 miles off the coast.The sky was clear,the sea
was calm,and there was only a gentle breeze.Andrew and his son Jack had been fishing all
morning but caught nothing.They were almost alone on the water-until they saw a small dot in
the distance.As it came closer,they realized it was a boat,heading straight toward them!
Andrew quickly turned their boat to avoid a crash.The boat sped past them.To their
surprise,no one was on deck-though the engine was still running and music was playing loudly.
"The captain must be below,"Andrew thought.But what if something was wrong?
They decided to follow the boat.After trying to get the captain's attention with shouts and
an air horn,they grew worried.Maybe the captain was ill or injured.Jack jumped onto the boat
and stopped the engine.He went down into the cabin,but came up looking puzzled.No one is
here,”he said.
They called the Coast Guard to report a"man overboard."Then,curious to find out what
happened,they checked the boat's GPS.They found that the captain had marked several fishing
spots along the way,but the marks stopped suddenly a few miles away.
Andrew and Jack decided to search the area.They began sailing in wide circles,hoping to
find the missing person-but fearing the worst.What they didn't know was that,not far away,a
man was struggling in the water,losing hope.
Earlier that day,the boat's owner,Sam,had been fishing alone when he accidentally fell
overboard.He tried to grab the boat but failed.Without a life jacket,he watched helplessly as his
boat sailed away.Now he was tired and cold,trying to swim toward where he thought other
boats might be.
Just when Sam felt he could not go on,he saw a boat in the distance.It seemed to be
moving in a strange way-going forward,then turning around.It was his only chance.He waved
and shouted with all his strength.

The boat turned and began moving steadily toward Sam.
