At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me clearly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby improving your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably straightforward comments on me. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed (暴露) me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must imagine the word as it is to be written and leave a little bit of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural limits. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your thoughts, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
24. What did the author think of her name “Chen Yiwen” at first?
A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it.
B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C. She thought the characters were beautiful.
D. She understood the intention but felt it embarrassing.
25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ________.
A. protect plants from being harmed B. reconnect with her root
C. understand a new culture D. fit in with local community
26. What did the author learn from her teacher’s words?
A. Calligraphy shows the writer’s true self. B. Calligraphy needs a lot of practice.
C. Calligraphy is all about beautiful strokes. D. Calligraphy comes from creativity.
27. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are.
C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Planning is good, but doing is better.

A subway line that links downtown Beijing with Daxing International Airport in the Chinese capital now allows passengers to enter and exit stations by just scanning the palm of a hand, setting an example of how using biometric data in public transportation can make commuting more convenient.
The pilot program was launched on Sunday on the Daxing Airport Express subway line to spare passengers the trouble of swiping a card (刷卡) or scanning a QR code to catch a train , the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport said.
Any commuter aged 14 and above can first register the print of either palm through a simple, automated process and provide relevant information to authorize the payment gateway of WeChat, a popular messaging app in China. Once the palm print is registered, a commuter can scan the palm at any automated ticket gate to pass through. The fare is automatically paid after exit. Besides, the registration is a one-time process and doesn’t require renewal.
“Passengers can just place a palm above the scanning machine when entering or exiting a subway station. The ticket gate will open if the palm scan matches the palm print registered voluntarily,” said Zhang Li, an expert at the Beijing Metro Network Control Center.
The biometric method combines the use of palm print and vein mapping, which are different for every individual. Therefore, data masking and encryption (加密) technologies have been applied to protect user information.
Xin Jianhua, general manager of the public service center at WeChat Pay, said palm scans can be gradually used in offices, schools, gyms and restaurants, as it requires no contact and is therefore safer and more efficient. “Currently, it is very useful for the elderly and those who have physical limitations,” he said. “Use of biometric data allows passengers to take subway trains if they do not have cash or when they forget their subway cards,” he added.
28. What do we know about palm scanning?
A. Anyone aged 14 and above has to register the print.
B. There is an automatic payment after exit
C. Passengers should have both palms registered.
D. The registration needs updating every year.
29. What does the underlined word “masking” probably mean?
A. Removing. B. Decoding. C. Uploading. D. Hiding
30. Which statement may Xin Jianhua disagree with?
A. Palm scanning is of limited use to the disabled.
B. The new technology is more time-saving.
C. The future of palm scans is promising
D. Palm scanning spares passengers the trouble of taking cards.
31. What’s the main idea of this article?
A. The ways of riding the subway in Beijing.
B. Beijing’s introduction of palm-print access on a subway line
C. People’s attitudes towards palm scanning in the subway.
D. The advantages of scanning palms to enter and exit subway stations.
D
A new study led by researchers from Queen Mary University of London reveals that group arts interventions — such as painting, music, or dance—can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety among older adults. The findings offer a convincing case for the benefits of shared creative activities.
Depression and anxiety are silent struggles for millions of older adults worldwide, affecting 7% and 3.8% of those aged 60 and over, respectively. While medications (药物) and talking therapies (疗法) are often the go-to treatments, they aren’t always accessible or suitable for older adults, who may face side effects, high costs, or discomfort in discussing their mental health.
This study shines a light on a promising alternative: the simple, yet deep act of creating art together. Led by Elizabeth Quinn, a PhD candidate in psychology at Queen Mary University of London, the research found that older adults in care homes saw a greater reduction in depression symptoms compared to those living in the community, highlighting the potential of these interventions to support some of the most vulnerable members of society.
What’s more, the benefits were consistent across different types of art—whether it was painting, dancing, or making music — and across diverse populations, suggesting that the magic lies in the shared experience of creating together.
The study also found that the setting mattered. Older adults in care homes, who often face higher levels of loneliness and weakness, experienced the greatest improvements in mental health. This highlights the potential of group arts interventions to reach those who need it most.
“Art interventions are accessible, cost-effective, and enjoyable,” said Dr Jones, the study’s senior author. “They offer a way to address mental health challenges that doesn’t rely only on medication or traditional therapy.”
The research team hopes their findings will encourage healthcare providers to integrate group arts interventions into mental health care plans for older adults. They also call for further research to explore the long-term benefits of these interventions and their potential applications in other age groups and settings.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The cost of mental health treatments for older adults.
B. Common causes of depression and anxiety in older adults.
C. The effectiveness of medications for the elderly’s mental health.
D. Treatment challenges for older adults with depression and anxiety.
33. What did the research find about the elderly in care homes?
A. They experienced more health issues.
B. They preferred medications for treatment.
C. They had a greater reduction in depression.
D. They were less happy than those living outside.
34. What is crucial to the success of group arts interventions?
A. The type of art. B. The shared experience.
C. The professional guidance. D. The duration of the intervention.
35. What is Dr Jones’s attitude towards art interventions?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.

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。
Success isn’t just about wealth and achievements. True success — deep and lasting — comes from inside. It means feeling calm, staying strong, and living with purpose. ___36___ To achieve this, you should practice the simple spiritual habits in your daily life.
Daily meditation(冥想) is a powerful way to start. Often, busy schedules make it easy to focus too much on the outside world. Setting aside time for meditation creates a blessed moment each day.

Maintaining a positive mindset is equally significant. It means seeing the bright side and staying hopeful for the future. ___38___ This becomes especially important during your darkest moments. When things get tough, this mindset will give you the hope and courage to keep going.
Forgiveness is another necessary practice. When someone you care about hurts you, holding onto grudges (怨恨) steals your joy and blocks spiritual growth. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened; it means letting go of anger. ___39___ By doing so, you inspire others to embrace forgiveness and also free yourself to move forward.

Seeking out groups with like-minded individuals makes you feel at home. These connections promote belonging, build relationships, and create a supportive network.

At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me clearly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and gave up my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby improving your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably straightforward comments on me. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke (笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed (暴露) me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must imagine the word as it is to be written and leave a little bit of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural limits. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is flat, it carries rich meaning, showing the strength you’ve applied, the energy of your hold, the curve of your back.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your thoughts, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
24. What did the author think of her name “Chen Yiwen” at first?
A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it.
B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C. She thought the characters were beautiful.
D. She understood the intention but felt it embarrassing.
25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ________.
A. protect plants from being harmed B. reconnect with her root
C. understand a new culture D. fit in with local community
26. What did the author learn from her teacher’s words?
A. Calligraphy shows the writer’s true self. B. Calligraphy needs a lot of practice.
C. Calligraphy is all about beautiful strokes. D. Calligraphy comes from creativity.
27. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are.
C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. Planning is good, but doing is better.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】

【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第五段中的“I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself.

A subway line that links downtown Beijing with Daxing International Airport in the Chinese capital now allows passengers to enter and exit stations by just scanning the palm of a hand, setting an example of how using biometric data in public transportation can make commuting more convenient.
The pilot program was launched on Sunday on the Daxing Airport Express subway line to spare passengers the trouble of swiping a card (刷卡) or scanning a QR code to catch a train , the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport said.
Any commuter aged 14 and above can first register the print of either palm through a simple, automated process and provide relevant information to authorize the payment gateway of WeChat, a popular messaging app in China. Once the palm print is registered, a commuter can scan the palm at any automated ticket gate to pass through. The fare is automatically paid after exit. Besides, the registration is a one-time process and doesn’t require renewal.
“Passengers can just place a palm above the scanning machine when entering or exiting a subway station. The ticket gate will open if the palm scan matches the palm print registered voluntarily,” said Zhang Li, an expert at the Beijing Metro Network Control Center.
The biometric method combines the use of palm print and vein mapping, which are different for every individual. Therefore, data masking and encryption (加密) technologies have been applied to protect user information.
Xin Jianhua, general manager of the public service center at WeChat Pay, said palm scans can be gradually used in offices, schools, gyms and restaurants, as it requires no contact and is therefore safer and more efficient. “Currently, it is very useful for the elderly and those who have physical limitations,” he said. “Use of biometric data allows passengers to take subway trains if they do not have cash or when they forget their subway cards,” he added.
28. What do we know about palm scanning?
A. Anyone aged 14 and above has to register the print.
B. There is an automatic payment after exit
C. Passengers should have both palms registered.
D. The registration needs updating every year.
29. What does the underlined word “masking” probably mean?
A. Removing. B. Decoding. C. Uploading. D. Hiding
30. Which statement may Xin Jianhua disagree with?
A. Palm scanning is of limited use to the disabled.
B. The new technology is more time-saving.
C. The future of palm scans is promising
D. Palm scanning spares passengers the trouble of taking cards.
31. What’s the main idea of this article?
A. The ways of riding the subway in Beijing.
B. Beijing’s introduction of palm-print access on a subway line
C. People’s attitudes towards palm scanning in the subway.
D. The advantages of scanning palms to enter and exit subway stations.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍北京大兴机场快线推出掌静脉扫描乘车服务,便捷高效且安全,未来还可拓展更多应用场景。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Once the palm print is registered, a commuter can scan the palm at any automated ticket gate to pass through. The fare is automatically paid after exit.(一旦注册掌纹,乘客可在任意自动闸机刷掌通行,出站后车费会自动扣除。)”可知,刷掌乘车出站后会自动完成支付。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Therefore, data masking and encryption technologies have been applied to protect user information.(因此,数据masking和加密技术已被用于保护用户信息。)”可知,为保护隐私需对数据进行隐藏处理,因此画线词意为“隐藏”。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的““Currently, it is very useful for the elderly and those who have physical limitations,” he said. (“目前,这项技术对老年人和身体不便的人非常实用,”他说。)”可知,辛建华认为该技术对残障人士很有用,因此他会不认同“刷掌技术对残疾人用处有限”这一说法。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“A subway line that links downtown Beijing with Daxing International Airport in the Chinese capital now allows passengers to enter and exit stations by just scanning the palm of a hand, setting an example of how using biometric data in public transportation can make commuting more convenient. (一条连接北京市中心与大兴国际机场的地铁线路,现已支持乘客仅通过扫描手掌进出站,这为在公共交通中运用生物识别数据、提升通勤便捷性树立了典范。)”可知,文章主要介绍北京在一条地铁线路上推出刷掌通行的新服务。故选B项。

A new study led by researchers from Queen Mary University of London reveals that group arts interventions — such as painting, music, or dance—can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety among older adults. The findings offer a convincing case for the benefits of shared creative activities.
Depression and anxiety are silent struggles for millions of older adults worldwide, affecting 7% and 3.8% of those aged 60 and over, respectively. While medications (药物) and talking therapies (疗法) are often the go-to treatments, they aren’t always accessible or suitable for older adults, who may face side effects, high costs, or discomfort in discussing their mental health.
This study shines a light on a promising alternative: the simple, yet deep act of creating art together. Led by Elizabeth Quinn, a PhD candidate in psychology at Queen Mary University of London, the research found that older adults in care homes saw a greater reduction in depression symptoms compared to those living in the community, highlighting the potential of these interventions to support some of the most vulnerable members of society.
What’s more, the benefits were consistent across different types of art—whether it was painting, dancing, or making music — and across diverse populations, suggesting that the magic lies in the shared experience of creating together.
The study also found that the setting mattered. Older adults in care homes, who often face higher levels of loneliness and weakness, experienced the greatest improvements in mental health. This highlights the potential of group arts interventions to reach those who need it most.
“Art interventions are accessible, cost-effective, and enjoyable,” said Dr Jones, the study’s senior author. “They offer a way to address mental health challenges that doesn’t rely only on medication or traditional therapy.”
The research team hopes their findings will encourage healthcare providers to integrate group arts interventions into mental health care plans for older adults. They also call for further research to explore the long-term benefits of these interventions and their potential applications in other age groups and settings.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The cost of mental health treatments for older adults.
B. Common causes of depression and anxiety in older adults.
C. The effectiveness of medications for the elderly’s mental health.
D. Treatment challenges for older adults with depression and anxiety.
33. What did the research find about the elderly in care homes?
A. They experienced more health issues.
B. They preferred medications for treatment.
C. They had a greater reduction in depression.
D. They were less happy than those living outside.
34. What is crucial to the success of group arts interventions?
A. The type of art. B. The shared experience.
C. The professional guidance. D. The duration of the intervention.
35. What is Dr Jones’s attitude towards art interventions?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A

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。
Success isn’t just about wealth and achievements. True success — deep and lasting — comes from inside. It means feeling calm, staying strong, and living with purpose. ___36___ To achieve this, you should practice the simple spiritual habits in your daily life.
Daily meditation(冥想) is a powerful way to start. Often, busy schedules make it easy to focus too much on the outside world. Setting aside time for meditation creates a blessed moment each day. Think of meditation as a daily check-in, a chance to pause, breathe, and reflect. ___37___ You can also benefit from reduced stress, a calmer mood, better focus, and a stronger ability to recover from difficulties.
Maintaining a positive mindset is equally significant. It means seeing the bright side and staying hopeful for the future. ___38___ This becomes especially important during your darkest moments. When things get tough, this mindset will give you the hope and courage to keep going.
Forgiveness is another necessary practice. When someone you care about hurts you, holding onto grudges (怨恨) steals your joy and blocks spiritual growth. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened; it means letting go of anger. ___39___ By doing so, you inspire others to embrace forgiveness and also free yourself to move forward.
___40___ Studies show people active in groups often live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Joining community clubs provides you with support and purpose. Seeking out groups with like-minded individuals makes you feel at home. These connections promote belonging, build relationships, and create a supportive network.
A. You can reconnect to yourself.
B. It’s about building a meaningful life.
C. Thus the hate from your heart is removed.

Seeking out groups with like-minded individuals makes you feel at home.(研究表明,在群体中活跃的人往往活得更长、更健康、更快乐。加入社区俱乐部为你提供支持和目标。寻找志同道合的人会让你有宾至如归的感觉)”提到研究表明活跃于群体中的人生活更长寿、健康和幸福,加入社区俱乐部提供支持和目标等内容。D 选项“Connecting with community betters your life.(与社区建立联系改善你的生活)”与后文讲述的社区对人的积极影响内容一致,是该段的主题句。故选D项。

【导语】本文主要介绍了联合国教科文组织设立3月21日为国际太极拳日,以及太极拳的起源、发展、文化内涵与全球影响。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2025年11月5日,北京讯——联合国教科文组织第43届大会通过了一项决议,将3月21日定为国际太极拳日。 句中有谓语passed,括号里的name作动词,其前无并列连词,要将其变成非谓语动词;________(name) March 21 International Taijiquan Day作后置定语修饰抽象名词resolution,起解释说明的作用,要用动词不定式to name。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:太极拳日的设立是一项重要决定,这体现了太极拳极大地助力于全球健康、文化交流乃至世界和平。在how引导的宾语从句中,所填词作程度状语修饰谓语动词contributes,要将形容词significant变成副词significantly。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:太极拳植根于阴阳平衡,融合了传统医学、武术和哲学思想的元素。combines是谓语动词,其后要接名词;括号里的element是名词,意为“元素”,结合其后的of traditional medicine, martial arts, and philosophical thought可知,元素不止一种,要将element变成复数名词elements。
【59题详解】
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:历经几个世纪,它已发展成为陈氏、杨氏、武(郝)氏、孙氏等几大主要流派,如今被全球数百万人练习。Over several centuries是现在完成时的时间状语,所填词作谓语;主语it是单数代词,和谓语develop into(发展成为)之间是主动关系,要用现在完成时的主动语态has+过去分词developed。
【60题详解】

【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:被选定的3月21日是春分,这一天昼夜等长。句中有谓语is,所填词作前置定语修饰名词date,要将括号里的动词choose变成非谓语动词;由于date与choose是逻辑上的动宾关系,即“日子被挑选”,要用过去分词表示被动含义,choose的过去分词是chosen。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:被选定的3月21日是春分,这一天昼夜等长。________day and night are of equal length是关系词引导的定语从句修饰时间名词a day,该从句是主系表结构,缺时间状语,关系副词when符合要求。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这完美契合太极拳的核心理念:人与自然和谐共生。所填词修饰名词core,要用冠词,此处特指太极拳独一无二的核心理念,且后面有of 所有格结构限定范围,要用定冠词the。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:研究还发现,练习太极拳从长远来看有益于身心健康。在that引导的宾语从句中,________(practise) Taijiquan作主语,要用非谓语动词;结合“in the long run”可知,练习太极拳是习惯性动作,而非具体一次,要用动名词形式practicing。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:凭借其广泛的普及度,太极拳继续在全球范围内促进和平与跨文化对话。_____its wide popularity在句首作伴随状语,要用介词;结合其后的its wide popularity可知,介词with表示“凭借”,符合句意;with放在句首,首字母w要大写。

Li Hua
【答案】参考范文
Dear Peter,
I’m writing to tell you that I recently took part in the school’s science and technology innovation competition, which I had prepared for a long time, but I didn’t get the ideal result.
During the competition, I first presented my invention that I designed by myself and answered the judges’ questions carefully. However, I still failed to win a prize. To be frank, the main reason is that I didn’t test my invention fully before the competition, which led to a small fault when showing it. In addition, I was a little nervous, and thus I didn’t express the ideas clearly.
Therefore, I will learn a lesson from this failure. Besides, I’ll test my works thoroughly and practice my presentation skills so that I can do better in the next competition.
Yours,
Li Hua
