B The boat ride from Helsinki’s city center to the island of Pihlajasaari takes only 10 minutes and drops off visitors at beaches for sunbathing. But I had a different mission: to speak to a tree. This was meant to be a healing exercise, one championed by the Finnish biologist Adela Pajunen. Finns, she’d told me, sometimes share their worries aloud to trees or birds. On shore, I spotted a short black alder tree and began to tell the tree my troubles. The leaves rustled (沙沙作响) in response, a sign I interpreted as sympathy. I had come to Finland to see whether I could bring happiness back to America with me. Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for the past eight years, largely due to free education and universal health care. And the Finns also find happiness in more attainable ways, such as their close relationship with nature and visiting the sauna (桑拿) daily. These activities contain similar goals: Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth. I followed their lifestyle — visiting the sauna and taking a relaxing forest walk, and happiness came in waves over the next few days. I was optimistic that I could recreate the happiest moments of this trip back home in New York. How hard could it be, really? As it turned out, happiness was a luxury in America, though I tried hard to live exactly like the Finns. Then one afternoon, I had a breakthrough as I rushed through Central Park and noticed a crowd of people staring at the ground. A cardinal! I stopped to admire the bird’s feather before it flew away. This was a win for staying present. I’d been so stuck trying to find the time and money for happiness that I’d missed the point: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations — like a cardinal taking flight, or talking to trees — right then and there. As I left the park, I carried out a small but comforting ritual (仪式) I’d developed. I thanked the trees for listening. 24. Why did the author speak to a tree? A. To heal the tree. B. To seek happiness. C. To follow a tradition. D. To appreciate nature. 25. What do we know about the Finnish lifestyle? A. It requires daily sauna visits. B. It values close relationships. C. It is easily adopted elsewhere. D. It focuses on simple pleasures. 26. Why couldn’t the author recreate happy moments back in America? A. She was busy with work. B. It was noisy in New York. C. She forgot to stay present. D. It was expensive to live there. 27. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip to Finland? A. Transformative. B. Challenging. C. Adventurous. D. Unexpected. C On a cool day this past August, a two-year-old boy walked onto Boston’s Stanwood Street, a narrow neighborhood way lined with parked cars on both sides. A driver hit the child, whose blue-shirted body disappeared under the car. Miraculously (奇迹般地), the child survived. But it was not a miracle that saved him mere feet before hitting the child, the driver had slowed for a speed hump (减速带). “Had that car been going faster, there’s a very good chance that kid would not have lived.” says Boston chief of streets Jasper Franklin-Hodge. Crashes, explains associate professor of surgery David Mooney, are “all kinetic energy (动能) .” Doubling a car’s speed makes its kinetic energy four times bigger. “Only 10 percent of pedestrians (行人) die when struck by a vehicle traveling at 23 miles per hour — but a quarter die when the speed is 32 m. p.h. , half at 42 m. p.h. , and three-quarters at 50 m. p.h.” he says. Accordingly, safety-minded road planners look for every opportunity to reduce vehicle speed. One might think speed could be reduced simply by lowering the speed limit, but the reality is more complex. Stanwood Street’s posted speed limit of 20 m. p.h. (a “slow zone”) was reinforced by tightly parked cars and speed humps — all physically encouraging the driver to go slowly. Architect Jeff Speck studies urban roads like this one, helping cities design safe, walkable streets. In an urban environment, he says, drivers choose their speed based not on the posted limit but on “what feels safe in that environment”. But drivers often dislike the interventions that encourage slow speeds. Many drivers desire “elbow room”, so those who are going beyond the speed limit by 5 to 10 m. p.h. can still proceed easily. However, designing a road for a speed faster than its posted limit invites everyone to speed. “Giving drivers a feeling of safety,” Speck says, “makes them more dangerous.” 28. What saved the two-year-old boy? A. Pure luck. B. A speed hump. C. The quick action of the driver. D. The low speed limit of the neighborhood. 29. How does Mooney illustrate the relationship between vehicle speed and death rate? A. By referring to a study. B. By sharing experiences. C. By providing statistics. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 30. What does the underlined word “reinforced” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strengthened. B. Replaced. C. Disturbed. D. Determined. 31. What is Speck’s attitude towards “elbow room”? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Tolerant. D. Unclear. D If your day starts with a harsh alarm sound, you might want to rethink your wake-up routine. New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart. Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake — like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. This happens when your body is suddenly shifted from sleep to wakefulness. And it was found to be 74% higher in participants who were awakened by an alarm after five hours of sleep compared to those who woke up naturally. And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular (心血管的) risks, including stroke and heart attack. The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic nervous system — the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds. The good news? There are better, healthier ways to greet the day. Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin (褪黑激素) production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress. There are also alarm apps that use soft music or nature sounds that gradually get louder, helping you wake without shocking your system. A 2020 study even found that melodic sounds — like a song you can sing along with — help reduce sleep inertia, a sleepy, heavy feeling that can linger for hours after waking up. Small changes can make a big difference in how your body starts the day and your heart will thank you for it! 32. What physical symptoms can be caused by activating the sympathetic nervous system? A. Nervousness and tiredness. B. Slower heartbeat. C. Improved sleep quality. D. Reduced melatonin levels. 33. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. The dangers of using traditional alarm clocks. B. The importance of getting enough sleep every night. C. The introduction and benefits of gradual light alarms. D. How melatonin affects our sleep quality. 34. What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in the passage? A. People who wake up naturally never experience morning blood pressure surges. B. Gradual waking methods may lower the risk of heart-related diseases. C. Reducing melatonin production immediately improves cardiovascular health. D. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To persuade us to stop using alarms. B. To criticize modern sleep habits. C. To compare different types of alarm sounds. D. To explain the dangers of sudden wake-up methods 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With so many gyms around, finding a satisfying one can be a tough search. ____36____ The ideal gym needs equipment and classes that you’ll consistently use to make it a worthwhile investment.

Over the years, it had become a familiar gathering place for hardworking folks in the neighborhood, especially those who often worked into the late hours. Early in 2022, an elderly wandering man named Robert entered their shop. “Ma’am, I’d like a bowl of noodles. Here’s the money,” the elderly man said, handing over a well-worn and old one-dollar banknote. Sarah exchanged a quick glance with David, for a bowl of noodles cost five dollars. However, David accepted it without hesitation, instructing Sarah to serve Robert. Sarah couldn’t help whispering to her husband, “David, why did you accept this old money and sell the noodles for one dollar?” David gazed at her and responded, “My dear, everyone faces challenges. What’s a bowl of noodles worth anyway? What if he goes hungry?” David’s friendly smile made Robert feel at home. He wasted no time in wolfing down the hot noodles, as if he hadn’t eaten in days. The couple watched with compassionate eyes as Robert enjoyed every single bite. After finishing his meal, Robert left with satisfaction. Robert returned the next day, and for several days thereafter. They soon learned that Robert had a slight intellectual disability from a very young age. After the passing of his parents, he lived alone, with his elder brother visiting him occasionally. But Robert didn’t want to burden his brother’s family. David and Sarah silently formed an unspoken agreement with Robert. They genuinely helped him but never mentioned the price. Sarah even added extra vegetables to his bowl sometimes. As months passed by, they developed a bond of kindness. Robert only visited the shop when it was less crowded. Yet, his payments went from regular dollars to small change, until he had no money left. Paragraph1：One day, Robert arrived with something unusual — a hand-drawn banknote. Paragraph2：When David shared Robert’s story online, it quickly gained attention. 第 1 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
