B
Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves.
I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magic creatures that I thought lived at the bottom of the garden. When my mother saw my work, she told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. And I used many different materials, such as diamond fragments, eyelashes and even spider web threads.
I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. It isn’t actually an easy process — but I can enjoy it once I’ve finished it.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen and gave her a tiny crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture made by hand. It was a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a drilled out hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078mm by 0.053mm.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heart-broken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too.
24. What inspired the author to create tiny sculptures?
A. His desire for fame. B. His love for insects.
C. His passion for architecture. D. His dream of setting a record.
25. How does the author think of his sculpting process?
A. Creative and fulfilling. B. Competitive and demanding.
C. Exhausting but enjoyable. D. Relaxing but time-consuming.
26. What message does the author intend to convey?
A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Don’t underestimate small things.
C. Attention to details leads to success. D. Don’t let others’ opinions define you.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. From Ants to Crowns: A Micro-Artist’s Journey
B. 16 Hours a day: The Price of Artistic Perfection
C. The Function of Microscopic Art: An amazing Tool
D. The Future of Microscopic Art: Is It Worth the Effort?
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. A
【难度】0.65
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为微观艺术家的成长历程,始于儿时保护昆虫的初心,他创作世界最小雕塑,并屡破纪录,传达“微小事物亦具强大力量”的深刻理念。
24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. (在英国长大的童年时期,我对昆虫十分着迷。为了保护它们,我开始用木屑和树叶为蚂蚁搭建小房子)”和第二段中“When my mother saw my work, she told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become. (当母亲看到我的作品时,她对我说:‘你做得越小,名声就会越大。’)”可知,作者小时候对昆虫着迷,开始为蚂蚁建造小房子,后来在妈妈的鼓励下创作微型雕塑。由此可知,他对昆虫的热爱是创作微型雕塑的最初灵感来源。故选B项。
25. 推理判断题。根据第四段“I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. It isn’t actually an easy process — but I can enjoy it once I’ve finished it (有时我会连续工作16小时不停歇,完成一件雕塑甚至需要耗时三个月之久。创作时必须屏气凝神,这绝非易事——但完成后的成就感让我甘之如饴)”可知,作者的工作强度大,耗时久,要求极高的专注力,但完成后他很享受成就感。这表明作者认为这种体验是“疲惫但愉悦的”。故选C项。
26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too. (我们应当珍视生活中的细微之物,微小的事物同样可以蕴含强大的力量)”可知,作者认为微小事物也值得珍视。因此,他想告诉读者,勿轻视微小事物。故选B项。
27. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. (在英国长大的童年时期,我对昆虫十分着迷。为了保护它们,我开始用木屑和树叶为蚂蚁搭建小房子)”和第五段中“In 2012, I met the queen and gave her a tiny crown on the head of a pin. (2012年,我有幸觐见女王陛下,将一枚别针顶端雕刻的微型王冠敬献给她)”可知,文章讲述了作者作为一名微观艺术家的成长历程,始于儿时保护昆虫的初心,他创作世界最小雕塑,并屡破纪录。因此,A项“从蚂蚁到王冠:一个微艺术家的旅程”形象地概括了作者的成长轨迹,并突出了其身份,最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
C
AI image generators have made a giant leap forward in a remarkably short period. These sophisticated systems are now capable of creating human faces that are not only convincing but often perceived as more realistic than actual human ones. This phenomenon, termed “hyper-realism”, poses a significant challenge to digital trust. However, a recent collaborative study by researchers from the UK points to a promising path: improving our collective AI-face detection capabilities through specialized, targeted training.
The research team tested the face-assessing skills of 664 volunteers, categorized into two distinct groups: “super-recognizers” — individuals who possess a rare, naturally superior ability for facial recognition — and those with typical recognition skills. The experiment involved two core tasks designed to test intuition and logic. In the initial task, volunteers evaluated a single image to determine its origin; in the subsequent task, they were presented with a pair of faces — one real and one synthetic — and asked to identify the fake.
In the control group that received no prior instruction, the data revealed a worrying trend. Super-recognizers correctly identified AI faces only 41 percent of the time, while typical recognizers dropped to a mere 31 percent. Given that half the images were AI-generated, both groups performed significantly worse than random chance (50 percent). This statistical gap confirms that AI portraits can effectively deceive the human brain’s natural processing systems.
To counter this, the study introduced a brief five-minute intervention. Participants were trained to look for “tell-tale” signs — subtle biological flaws such as unnatural teeth alignment or strange blurring where the hair meets the skin.
Following this session, the accuracy of super-recognizers boosted to 64 percent. In contrast, while typical recognizers improved to 51 percent, they remained at the level of a coin flip.
“As AI images are increasingly exploited for illegal purposes like identity theft scams, testing detection methods is crucial from a security standpoint,” explains researcher EilidhNoyes. The findings highlight that while technology evolves, human expertise remains indispensable. Combining innate talent with professional training may be our best defense in verifying digital identities and securing the future of online interaction.

Time is something we feel every day — rushing to school, glancing at watches, counting down minutes. Yet, surprisingly, modern physics struggles to explain why time moves forward at all. Einstein’s theory of relativity describes time as part of a fixed 4D spacetime, where past, present, and future coexist like pages in a book. Quantum mechanics (量子力学) does not naturally treats time as special — many processes could run backward just as well. So where does time’s flow come from?
A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters. They proposed that time is an illusion (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). They envisioned the universe as a timeless quantum state. When one part acts as a “clock” and becomes entangled with the rest, time seems to emerge — just like page numbers help us read a story in order.
Experimental support is accumulating. In a 2024 study, scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring. The entire system was static (静态的), yet the spring’s state changed over time relative to the clock, demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement.
But what could serve as the universe’s real clock? Italian physicist Paola Verrucci points to black holes. They are isolated, highly energetic, and — thanks to Hawking radiation — can entangle with the outside world. “It’s a perfect clock,” she says. “You can’t touch it, but you can be linked to it.”
More strikingly, Verrucci argues time’s direction may come from quantum measurement. Each time we observe reality, possibilities collapse into facts — a one-way process. “You create time,” she says, “when you ask what time it is.” This view transforms our role from passive witnesses of time to active participants. Time may not be a pre-existing river carrying us, but a story we co-write through our interactions with a quantum universe.
32. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. The theory of relativity views time as independent of space.
B. Modern physics can explain why time moves forward easily.
C. Quantum mechanics specially focuses on the study of time.
D. Our understanding of time varies from physics perspectives.
33. Why did the scientists create the model?
A. To explain the quantum entanglement. B. To support a timeless quantum state.
C. To show how time comes from entanglement. D. To confirm time exists in a static universe.
34. Which viewpoint might Verrucci agree with?
A. Hawking radiation generated time. B. There is no ideal clock in universe.
C. Observing time helps to create time. D. Time existed as a river before humans.
35. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To present the history of quantum mechanics.
B. To explore the origin of time from quantum links.
C. To compare a couple of known spacetime theories.
D. To illustrate technology of quantum entanglement.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. B
【难度】0.45
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要从量子角度探讨时间的产生与方向。
32. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet, surprisingly, modern physics struggles to explain why time moves forward at all. Einstein’s theory of relativity describes time as part of a fixed 4D spacetime, where past, present, and future coexist like pages in a book. Quantum mechanics does not naturally treats time as special — many processes could run backward just as well. (然而,令人惊讶的是,现代物理学很难解释为什么时间会向前移动。爱因斯坦的相对论将时间描述为固定的四维时空的一部分,过去、现在和未来像书中的页面一样共存。量子力学并不自然地把时间视为特殊的——许多过程也可以逆向运行。)”可知,我们对时间的理解因物理学角度不同而有差异。故选D。
33. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a 2024 study, scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring. The entire system was static (静态的), yet the spring’s state changed over time relative to the clock, demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement. (在2024年的一项研究中,科学家们使用纠缠的量子磁体和弹簧创建了一个模型。整个系统是静态的,然而,相对于时钟,弹簧的状态随时间而变化,这展示了时间是如何从纠缠中产生的。)”可知,科学家创建这个模型是为了展示时间是如何从纠缠中产生的。故选C。
34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“More strikingly, Verrucci argues time’s direction may come from quantum measurement. Each time we observe reality, possibilities collapse into facts — a one-way process. ‘You create time,’ she says, ‘when you ask what time it is.’ (更引人注目的是,Verrucci认为时间的方向可能来自量子测量。每次我们观察现实时,可能性都会坍缩成事实——这是一个单向的过程。‘当你问现在几点时,你就在创造时间,’她说。)”可知,Verrucci认为观察时间有助于创造时间。故选C。
35. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters. They proposed that time is an illusion (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). (1983年,科学家Page和Wootters提出了一个开创性的观点。他们提出,时间是由量子纠缠产生的幻觉。)”以及下文内容可知,文章主要探讨了时间是如何从量子纠缠中产生的,因此文章的主要目的是从量子联系的角度探索时间的起源。故选B。

Learning a language is full of fulfilling steps, from the excitement of your first conversation with a fluent speaker to the intellectual challenge of mastering grammar rules. But at some point, you need to handle an unavoidable task. 36 Here are our top tips for absorbing new English words efficiently!
Flashcards are a great tool, especially for beginners. However, make sure to practice the words you learn in different contexts. For example, if you learn food-related words, try reading an English recipe to see how they’re used. 37 This way, you can focus on words you’ve encountered in your studies, making them easier to remember.
The saying “use it or lose it” applies perfectly to vocabulary. If you don’t use new words, you’ll forget them. 38 Ideally, practice it in conversation with an English speaker. For instance. after learning haircut-related vocabulary, visit an English-speaking barber to test your new words.
39 Studies show that handwriting helps you remember information better than typing. The reason isn’t entirely clear, but it could be because writing requires more time and intentional movement. This simple trick can make a big difference in remembering vocabulary.
Another trick is to note down the new words whenever you encounter them. Each word you record comes with its own context, making it easier to remember. 40 Over time, your notebook will become a valuable resource for expanding your vocabulary.
Over time, these small intentional efforts will build a strong foundation for fluency. With patience and persistence, you’ll find yourself confidently using new words in conversations, reading, and writing, bringing you closer to your language goals.
A. You have to memorize a bunch of words.
B. Will typing replace handwriting one day?
C. There is no need to worry about your language learning.
D. When you learn a word, try to use it in real-life situations.
E. Start small by writing down five new words per study time.
F. You can also create your own flashcards instead of using pre-made ones.
G. Writing new words by hand may seem old-fashioned, but it’s surprisingly effective.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍丝绸之路的地理范围、历史起源、贸易与文化交流意义,及长安-天山廊道入选世界遗产的重要意义。
56. 考查冠词。句意:丝绸之路覆盖广阔地域,地貌类型惊人多样,是古代连接东亚与地中海的贸易路线网络。短语“a variety of”表示“多种多样的”,但variety前有astonishing修饰,且astonishing以元音音素开头,因此用不定冠词an,构成“an astonishing variety of”。故填an。
57. 考查非谓语动词。句意:该网络的关键路段是长安-天山廊道,绵延穿过中国、哈萨克斯坦和吉尔吉斯斯坦。此处为非谓语动词,the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor与stretch为主动关系,用现在分词stretching作后置定语。故填stretching。
58. 考查非谓语动词。句意:丝绸之路始于公元前2世纪,当时皇帝派遣的大使张骞从长安出发前往中亚。句中已有谓语动词journeyed,此处为非谓语动词;the ambassador与assign(委派)之间为被动关系,表示“被皇帝委派的大使”,因此用过去分词assigned作后置定语。故填assigned。
59. 考查动词语态和时态。句意:张骞寻求多种方式在当时的各大强国之间搭建桥梁,该路线网络远及罗马帝国。此处为谓语动词,根据语境“过去被寻求”,用一般过去时的被动语态;主语Different ways为复数,所以谓语动词为were sought。故填were sought。
60. 考查介词。句意:张骞寻求多种方式在当时的各大强国之间搭建桥梁,该路线网络远及罗马帝国。此处为with的复合结构“with +宾语+现在分词”,作状语,表示“路线网络延伸至……”,用介词with。故填with。
61. 考查副词。句意:最初,丝绸是该网络上的主要出口商品,因为它重量轻、价值高。此处修饰整个句子,用initial的副词形式initially,意为“最初、起初”,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Initially。
62. 考查连词。句意:最初,丝绸是该网络上的主要出口商品,因为它重量轻、价值高。此处引导原因状语从句,表示“因为”,用连词because。故填because。
63. 考查非谓语动词。句意:除了贸易交换,该网络还被用来交流文化,这塑造了沿线社会的科学、艺术、技术及其他领域的发展。句中已有谓语动词was employed,此处表示“被用来做某事”,固定搭配“be employed to do sth.”,因此用不定式to exchange作目的状语。故填to exchange。
64. 考查形容词。句意:这些惊人的漫长路线通过连接东西方文明,实现了共同发展。此处修饰名词development,用share的形容词形式shared,意为“共同的、共享的”。故填shared。
65. 考查名词。句意:长安-天山廊道被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录,是承认丝绸之路为人类共同遗产重要部分的里程碑。介词in后需接名词作宾语;“in recognition of”为固定短语,意为“以承认/认可……”。故填recognition。

【答案】
Dear Frank,
Last Friday, I took part in our school’s upcycling competition. It was a fun and meaningful event that encouraged us to turn old things into something useful.
I made a pencil holder from an empty tin can. First, I cleaned the can thoroughly and smoothed its rough edges to avoid cutting myself. Then I painted it sky blue and decorated it with some paper flowers. To make it more practical, I glued a piece of cardboard inside. Many classmates liked its simple yet creative design, and I felt quite proud when my work was displayed in the school hall. This activity taught me that small changes can give old items a new life.
I really enjoyed the competition. It not only improved my creativity but also helped me care more about the environment.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Nina walked along the road with a sad look on her face. Next Saturday was her friend Betty’s birthday, but she did not have anything nice to wear to the party. Her father had just lost his job, so she couldn’t ask for a new dress. Nina decided to wear an old dress that had been her favorite for many years but had become a little too short for her now. “I’ll ask the tailor to increase the length,” Nina said to herself.
The tailor, however, refused to do so. “The dress is too old. Any alteration (改动) won’t work for it. Besides, I have too many other orders. My hands are full.” With a sad heart, she walked out of the tailor’s shop. “What am I to do?” she thought.
Just as she was about to go home, she saw a lady getting out of a car not far away and walking toward the bank in a hurry. The lady opened her handbag to take out some papers, and her wallet fell on the ground. Unaware of it, she went into the bank.
Nina ran and picked up the wallet. There were so many people inside the bank that she decided to wait on the steps. After a long time, the lady came out. Nina handed her the wallet that she had dropped. The lady could not believe it. The little girl had been waiting for her for so long to hand her the wallet. She looked at the contents in it, and everything was just the way she had left it.
“Thank you, sweetheart. What is your name, and where are you going? Can I drop you home?” the lady asked Nina softly.
Nina told the lady her name and that she was going home. The lady invited Nina to get into the car. On the way, Nina told her what had happened in the tailor’s shop and the difficulty her father was facing. The lady looked at the dress and then at Nina. She was the owner of a boutique (时装店) that stitched (缝制) clothes for children and young adults.

【答案】One possible version:
“Come to my shop and collect your dress tomorrow,” the lady told Nina. The next morning, Nina nervously entered the boutique. The lady greeted her warmly and handed her the dress. To Nina’s surprise, the old dress had been transformed — its length was perfectly extended with delicate flowers on the sleeves. “I added some adjustments,” the lady smiled. “Kindness deserves beauty.” Nina’s eyes filled with tears. “Thank you… but I can’t afford this,” she whispered. The lady gently shook her head. “This is my gift to you. Your honesty moved me.”
On Saturday, Nina wore the dress with a fresh new design to Betty’s birthday party. When she entered, everyone gasped. Betty ran over, exclaiming, “You look like a princess!” For the first time in weeks, Nina smiled brightly. When Nina returned home, her father was waiting with tear-filled eyes. “The boutique called,” he said, holding a job offer letter. “They need a delivery driver… and heard I’m good with maps.” That night, Nina hung the transformed dress by her window. The dress was not just fabric; it was a reminder that even in hardship, kindness could make miracles.

Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves.
I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magic creatures that I thought lived at the bottom of the garden. When my mother saw my work, she told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. And I used many different materials, such as diamond fragments, eyelashes and even spider web threads.
I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. It isn’t actually an easy process — but I can enjoy it once I’ve finished it.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen and gave her a tiny crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture made by hand. It was a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a drilled out hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078mm by 0.053mm.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heart-broken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too.
24. What inspired the author to create tiny sculptures?
A. His desire for fame. B. His love for insects.
C. His passion for architecture. D. His dream of setting a record.
25. How does the author think of his sculpting process?
A. Creative and fulfilling. B. Competitive and demanding.
C. Exhausting but enjoyable. D. Relaxing but time-consuming.
26. What message does the author intend to convey?
A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Don’t underestimate small things.
C. Attention to details leads to success. D. Don’t let others’ opinions define you.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. From Ants to Crowns: A Micro-Artist’s Journey
B. 16 Hours a day: The Price of Artistic Perfection
C. The Function of Microscopic Art: An amazing Tool
D. The Future of Microscopic Art: Is It Worth the Effort?
C
AI image generators have made a giant leap forward in a remarkably short period. These sophisticated systems are now capable of creating human faces that are not only convincing but often perceived as more realistic than actual human ones. This phenomenon, termed “hyper-realism”, poses a significant challenge to digital trust. However, a recent collaborative study by researchers from the UK points to a promising path: improving our collective AI-face detection capabilities through specialized, targeted training.
The research team tested the face-assessing skills of 664 volunteers, categorized into two distinct groups: “super-recognizers” — individuals who possess a rare, naturally superior ability for facial recognition — and those with typical recognition skills. The experiment involved two core tasks designed to test intuition and logic. In the initial task, volunteers evaluated a single image to determine its origin; in the subsequent task, they were presented with a pair of faces — one real and one synthetic — and asked to identify the fake.
In the control group that received no prior instruction, the data revealed a worrying trend. Super-recognizers correctly identified AI faces only 41 percent of the time, while typical recognizers dropped to a mere 31 percent. Given that half the images were AI-generated, both groups performed significantly worse than random chance (50 percent). This statistical gap confirms that AI portraits can effectively deceive the human brain’s natural processing systems.
To counter this, the study introduced a brief five-minute intervention. Participants were trained to look for “tell-tale” signs — subtle biological flaws such as unnatural teeth alignment or strange blurring where the hair meets the skin.
Following this session, the accuracy of super-recognizers boosted to 64 percent. In contrast, while typical recognizers improved to 51 percent, they remained at the level of a coin flip.
“As AI images are increasingly exploited for illegal purposes like identity theft scams, testing detection methods is crucial from a security standpoint,” explains researcher EilidhNoyes. The findings highlight that while technology evolves, human expertise remains indispensable. Combining innate talent with professional training may be our best defense in verifying digital identities and securing the future of online interaction.
28. The study mainly examines participants’ ________.
A. logical reasoning B. reaction speed
C. technical knowledge D. observational skills
29. What does the training session primarily focus on?
A. Improving the general speed of visual assessment.
B. Analyzing the psychological impact of digital fakes.
C. Recognizing artificial traces in biological features.
D. Understanding the technical principles of AI systems.
30. What is the significance of the 64 percent accuracy rate mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. It confirms the potential of combining gift with practice.
B. It represents the maximum limit of human recognition,
C. It shows the similarity between human and AI.
D. It indicates that most people can be trained to spot false images.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Technical evolution will eventually eliminate identity theft.
B. Professional training is more essential than natural talent.
C. Human factors remain a critical layer in digital defense.
D. The security risks of AI are currently overestimated.
D
Time is something we feel every day — rushing to school, glancing at watches, counting down minutes. Yet, surprisingly, modern physics struggles to explain why time moves forward at all. Einstein’s theory of relativity describes time as part of a fixed 4D spacetime, where past, present, and future coexist like pages in a book. Quantum mechanics (量子力学) does not naturally treats time as special — many processes could run backward just as well. So where does time’s flow come from?
A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters. They proposed that time is an illusion (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). They envisioned the universe as a timeless quantum state. When one part acts as a “clock” and becomes entangled with the rest, time seems to emerge — just like page numbers help us read a story in order.
Experimental support is accumulating. In a 2024 study, scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring. The entire system was static (静态的), yet the spring’s state changed over time relative to the clock, demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement.
But what could serve as the universe’s real clock? Italian physicist Paola Verrucci points to black holes. They are isolated, highly energetic, and — thanks to Hawking radiation — can entangle with the outside world. “It’s a perfect clock,” she says. “You can’t touch it, but you can be linked to it.”
More strikingly, Verrucci argues time’s direction may come from quantum measurement. Each time we observe reality, possibilities collapse into facts — a one-way process. “You create time,” she says, “when you ask what time it is.” This view transforms our role from passive witnesses of time to active participants. Time may not be a pre-existing river carrying us, but a story we co-write through our interactions with a quantum universe.
32. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. The theory of relativity views time as independent of space.
B. Modern physics can explain why time moves forward easily.
C. Quantum mechanics specially focuses on the study of time.
D. Our understanding of time varies from physics perspectives.
33. Why did the scientists create the model?
A. To explain the quantum entanglement. B. To support a timeless quantum state.
C. To show how time comes from entanglement. D. To confirm time exists in a static universe.
34. Which viewpoint might Verrucci agree with?
A. Hawking radiation generated time. B. There is no ideal clock in universe.
C. Observing time helps to create time. D. Time existed as a river before humans.
35. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To present the history of quantum mechanics.
B. To explore the origin of time from quantum links.
C. To compare a couple of known spacetime theories.
D. To illustrate technology of quantum entanglement.

Learning a language is full of fulfilling steps, from the excitement of your first conversation with a fluent speaker to the intellectual challenge of mastering grammar rules. But at some point, you need to handle an unavoidable task. 36 Here are our top tips for absorbing new English words efficiently!
Flashcards are a great tool, especially for beginners. However, make sure to practice the words you learn in different contexts. For example, if you learn food-related words, try reading an English recipe to see how they’re used. 37 This way, you can focus on words you’ve encountered in your studies, making them easier to remember.
The saying “use it or lose it” applies perfectly to vocabulary. If you don’t use new words, you’ll forget them. 38 Ideally, practice it in conversation with an English speaker. For instance. after learning haircut-related vocabulary, visit an English-speaking barber to test your new words.
39 Studies show that handwriting helps you remember information better than typing. The reason isn’t entirely clear, but it could be because writing requires more time and intentional movement. This simple trick can make a big difference in remembering vocabulary.
Another trick is to note down the new words whenever you encounter them. Each word you record comes with its own context, making it easier to remember. 40 Over time, your notebook will become a valuable resource for expanding your vocabulary.
Over time, these small intentional efforts will build a strong foundation for fluency. With patience and persistence, you’ll find yourself confidently using new words in conversations, reading, and writing, bringing you closer to your language goals.
A. You have to memorize a bunch of words.
B. Will typing replace handwriting one day?
C. There is no need to worry about your language learning.
D. When you learn a word, try to use it in real-life situations.
E. Start small by writing down five new words per study time.
F. You can also create your own flashcards instead of using pre-made ones.
G. Writing new words by hand may seem old-fashioned, but it’s surprisingly effective.

Nina walked along the road with a sad look on her face. Next Saturday was her friend Betty’s birthday, but she did not have anything nice to wear to the party. Her father had just lost his job, so she couldn’t ask for a new dress. Nina decided to wear an old dress that had been her favorite for many years but had become a little too short for her now. “I’ll ask the tailor to increase the length,” Nina said to herself.
The tailor, however, refused to do so. “The dress is too old. Any alteration (改动) won’t work for it. Besides, I have too many other orders. My hands are full.” With a sad heart, she walked out of the tailor’s shop. “What am I to do?” she thought.
Just as she was about to go home, she saw a lady getting out of a car not far away and walking toward the bank in a hurry. The lady opened her handbag to take out some papers, and her wallet fell on the ground. Unaware of it, she went into the bank.
Nina ran and picked up the wallet. There were so many people inside the bank that she decided to wait on the steps. After a long time, the lady came out. Nina handed her the wallet that she had dropped. The lady could not believe it. The little girl had been waiting for her for so long to hand her the wallet. She looked at the contents in it, and everything was just the way she had left it.
“Thank you, sweetheart. What is your name, and where are you going? Can I drop you home?” the lady asked Nina softly.
Nina told the lady her name and that she was going home. The lady invited Nina to get into the car. On the way, Nina told her what had happened in the tailor’s shop and the difficulty her father was facing. The lady looked at the dress and then at Nina. She was the owner of a boutique (时装店) that stitched (缝制) clothes for children and young adults.
