Inspired by photos of cats pouring themselves into vases and fitting into narrow openings, biologist Péter Pongrácz has tested dozens of cats to see when they act more like liquids or solids. Cats fluidly (流畅地) move through tall and narrow places but hesitate when they approach uncomfortably short holes, Pongrácz reports in the Oct.18 iScience. The finding suggests that cats are aware of their own body size and may form mental images of themselves. Because cats prefer to live alone, they are difficult to test in the lab. So Pongrácz brought the lab to the cats. With help from colleagues, he built a movable lab that they set up in 29 homes. In each home, the team attached two cardboard panels (硬纸板) to a doorframe: one with five rectangular (矩形的) holes of the same height but decreasing width and another with five holes of the same width but decreasing height. An owner stood on one side of the panel while the cat and the experimenter stood on the other. For each trial, the cat had to squeeze (挤过) from the experimenter’s side to the owner’s side through the holes while being filmed. Thirty out of 38 cats finished the experiment. When faced with holes of varying height, 22 cats hesitated to go through the shortest. When the holes varied in width, only eight cats stopped before approaching the narrowest hole. Most cats squeezed through slim openings without hesitating. Hesitation may be a self-protection method, Pongrácz says. If a cat forces itself through a hole without being able to see what’s on the other side, the cat may be exposed to potential threats. That some cats stopped in the safety of their homes suggests that they also rely on their body size to plan their approach. 24. What makes it difficult to test the cats in the lab? A. Their size. B. Their flexibility. C. Their height. D. Their character. 25. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Results of the experiment. B. Subjects of the experiment. C. Methods of the experiment. D. Theory of the experiment. 26. Why did some cats hesitate even before holes leading to their homes? A. They failed to figure out their body size. D. They worried about getting stuck in the hole. C. They hated being handled by the experimenter. D. They were afraid of the danger on the other side. 27 What is the best title of the passage? A. One scientist puts cats’ liquid nature to test B. Solid or liquid, that is impossible C. Cats act more like liquids when in danger D. Hesitation keeps cats safe from danger C 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 understood 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 achievable 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 (难得的享受) 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. 28. 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. 29. 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. 30. 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. 31. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip to Finland? A. Transformative. B. Challenging. C. Adventurous. D. Unexpected. D For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, and that was that. Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons? No, thanks. Interactive theatre? Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty. So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 trials to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same theory apply to social activities for adults? I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the urge to say no to it, despite my longstanding dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book on audio book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, contemporary performance — all things I had previously ignored. Trying things you thought you wouldn’t enjoy, I found, became oddly addictive. I didn’t love everything straight away, but I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, there was nothing quite like being defeated by someone who had been playing chess since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended. Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute (通勤)-collapse (躺下放松) cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly disappears. Next week? Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both. 32. How did the author’s fixed idea affect her? A. It broke her daily routine. B. It left her more time for work. C. It flattened her life into boredom. D. It spared her unwanted socializing. 33. Why did the author accept her friend’s invitation to a book club? A. To make a change in her life. B. To revisit a former interest in reading. C. To meet her friend’s requests. D. To occupy a blank in her daily routine. 34. How did the author feel when losing the chess game? A. Totally relieved. B. Slightly puzzled. C. Rather ashamed. D. Somewhat delighted. 35. What message does the author try to deliver? A. Learn to say no. B. Break out of your shell. C. Look before you leap (跳跃). D. Let go of the past. E In the age of AI, worries about its impact on the environment are snowballing. For example, asking ChatGPT a question uses ten times more energy than an old-fashioned search. The development of AI has also caused a big increase in greenhouse-gas emissions. Google’s emissions went up nearly 50% from 2019 to 2023. However, these concerns might be overstated. In fact, AI may be less energy-hungry than many people assume. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the electricity used by data centres could become three times as much within five years. But at present, the 1.5% of global electricity consumption related to data centres mainly comes from things like streaming, social media and online shopping. Moreover, some of AI’s electricity use will help with greening the economy. AI is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical grids (电网), cut fuel use in shipping and spot invisible leaks (泄漏) of greenhouse gas. Policymakers and industry leaders face the task of maximizing AI’s advantages while minimizing its climate effects. The best way would be for governments to set a proper price for carbon and let the market operate. But because a global carbon price remains a distant dream, focusing on other three measures are more down-to-earth. The first is more openness. Starting in August 2026, the EU will require some AI developers to report how much energy they use in detail. That approach should be copied elsewhere. A second is to rethink how data centers operate. The IEA notes that being able to shift workloads between different data centers at different times could reduce stress and help balance energy grids. Third, technology companies must keep their promises about protecting the environment instead of depending on buying renewable-energy credits. Doubling down on such approaches would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero. 36. What is the main concern about AI? A. Its inability to reduce emissions. B. Its impact on social development. C. Its shock on old-fashioned search. D. Its high-level energy consumption. 37. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. AI’s environmental-friendly potential remains tested. B. AI has a minor role in the current electricity consumption. C. AI is currently the most effective way to reduce emissions. D. The process of AI detecting gas leaking is easy to achieve. 38. Which solution is more realistic to minimize AI’s climate effects? A. Fixing a proper price for carbon. B. Allowing the market to operate. C. Reconsidering data center operations. D. Purchasing renewable-energy credits. 39. Which of the following is the best title for text? A. AI and Climate: A Battle of Balancing B. Climate: A Victim or a Beneficiary of AI? C. AI’s next target: Environmental Protection D. AI: A Threat or a Contributor to the Climate? 第二节（共5题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Who wouldn’t want to be an “insight machine”? But a fact and a misunderstanding might get in your way. Fact: 40 Misunderstanding: You feel as if creativity is a luxury (难得的享受) intended for people with hours to burn. Here is how to develop creative insight even when you are in busy lives. Find time to play. 41 Studies suggest that play at work boosts creative behavior and problem-solving abilities. Laughter and light-hearted activities, either a quick team game or a playful brainstorming session have been shown to inspire creativity, which is essential for innovation. 42 A creative idea probably doesn’t happen when you are buried in a task. Instead, it comes to you while you are doing something relatively “mindless.” Being extremely focused can actually be harmful to innovative thinking. So, you can bake into your workflow brief periods of “unfocus” and daydreaming. But here’s an important warning: 43 Scrolling (滚动) mindlessly on a screen actually weakens this effect. So, when you take a daydream break, leave your device behind. Do something with your hands. Ever notice how ideas tend to pop into your head when you’re doing something like washing dishes or gardening? When your hands are busy, your mind can enter a state of relaxed focus, which allows subconscious (潜意识的) ideas to bubble up to the surface. 44 So the next time you feel uninspired, remember: You don’t need hours of quiet time to innovate. Sometimes, all it takes is a little fun, a little space, and a little time to let your hands lead your mind. A. Take time to daydream. B. You’re likely pressed for time. C. Take advantage of your electronic devices. D. Don’t daydream with your device. E. Creativity requires long, undisturbed periods of time. F. Engaging in brief, playful activities can lead to serious breakthroughs. G. Find small moments throughout the day to join in a hands-on activity. 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The love story of Rogers and Linden includes a tale they’ll laugh about for years to come.
