We often conceive of beauty as something rare and splendid: mountain sunsets coloring the sky in streaks of orange and purple, stars scattered like broken diamonds across the night, and garden flowers blooming vividly enough to draw countless buzzing bees. In our eagerness to hunt for such extraordinary scenes, we rush through our days, yet we eventually discover that the most touching beauty, which is frequently neglected by those who fix their eyes only on grandeur, has been quietly surrounding us all along.
It dwells in the gentle morning light filtering through the window, casting soft shadows on a desk where a halffinished book rests; it lives in the silent rustle of turning pages, a steaming warm drink on chilly days, and the faint breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass mixed with dew. These ordinary moments unfold peacefully, like a gentle melody that echoes softly in our hearts.
I once pursued constant excitement, convinced that life ought to be thrilling and full of daring adventures, so I overlooked dull mornings, plain afternoons and tranquil evenings until I learned to slow down, pause and observe carefully, thus truly catching sight of the beauty hidden in daily trivialities (琐事).
I watched my mother arrange flowers with great care every weekend as if she were handling a precious treasure, and an elderly man feeding stray cats in the park while talking to them gently as if they were lifelong friends. I also observed raindrops dancing on windowpanes, leaves shifting colors with the seasons, and a stranger’s warm smile instantly sweeping away the gloom.
Beauty is seldom flashy; more often, it exists in the quiet, ordinary fragments of life that warm our souls. Appreciating such beauty requires patience and sensitivity, meaning we can truly love life and find happiness in small moments. We need not journey far to seek wonders, for they exist in every breath, every second and the gentle world around us. To cherish the ordinary is indeed the most beautiful state of life.
4. Why do many people overlook the most touching beauty?
A. They rush through daily tasks.
B. They only seek grand scenes.
C. They lack patience for life.
D. They dislike ordinary moments.
5. The author’s past attitude toward “constant excitement” can be described as ________.
A. supportive B. critical
C. neutral D. admiring
6. How does the author mainly present his/her argument?
A. By listing scientific facts.
B. By contrasting past and present views.
C. By quoting famous sayings.
D. By describing imaginary events.
7. What does the author mainly want to say?
A. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
B. The sun shines on both the palace and the cottage.
C. Stop and smell the roses.
D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述人们常追寻盛大美景,作者发现真正动人的美藏在日常平凡小事中,呼吁人们珍惜平凡生活。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In our eagerness to hunt for such extraordinary scenes, we rush through our days, yet we eventually discover that the most touching beauty, which is frequently neglected by those who fix their eyes only on grandeur, has been quietly surrounding us all along.(我们急于追寻这类非凡的景象,终日步履匆匆,却最终发现,那些只着眼于宏伟景象的人常常忽略的最动人的美,一直悄然环绕在我们身边)”可知,人们忽略动人的美是因为只追寻宏大的景象。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I once pursued constant excitement...until I learned to slow down, pause and observe carefully(我曾经追求持续的刺激……直到我学会放慢脚步、驻足细心观察)”可知,作者通过对比自己过去和现在的观点展开论述。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合最后一段中的“We need not journey far to seek wonders, for they exist in every breath, every second and the gentle world around us. To cherish the ordinary is indeed the most beautiful state of life.(我们不必远行去寻找奇景,因为它们存在于每一次呼吸、每一秒以及我们身边温柔的世界里。珍惜平凡确实是人生最美的状态)”可知,作者想表达要停下脚步感受身边平凡生活中的美好,即驻足欣赏沿途美景、慢品生活。
C
Novelist Virginia Woolf, like all writers, faced the challenge when preparing to write or speak: How do you draw out from the swirl (漩涡) of your thoughts a worthy insight? What kind of catch can you get to reward your audience? Her approach was to engage herself in incubation. Taking a cue from her approach may help you when you’re stuck for words.
According to latest controlled studies, a period of downtime develops creative ideas. The theory holds that wandering brains are not truly wandering. They are busy developing thoughts — linking related ideas, restructuring mental representations, and freeing attention from irrelevant thoughts. A 2025 study showed the benefits of mind wandering. Researchers asked participants to write a fictional story in 10 minutes based on a given cue. Before writing, one group took a break to let their minds wander, while another had no break at all. Though the cue allowed wide creativity, the mind-wandering group produced the most creative stories, with more diverse thinking and higher creativity ratings. The effect was slight but significant.
The experiment also showed something else: Staying too busy puts you at a disadvantage. The people asked to take a “busy” break — spending 10 minutes on a spot-the-difference task — were less than half as likely to gain the problem-solving insight as the wandering group. Apparently, engaging in this kind of break while occupying working memory is self-defeating.
If this approach works, what form works best? Many scientists theorize that sleep offers the biggest boost for problem-solving: people performed much better on matchstick rearrangement problems after a nap, though not all experiments show such neat results, as the benefit may depend on sleep stage and problem type. Overall, if you need an insight, tap into your unconscious like Virginia Woolf suggested — drop your line into its swirl, grab the pull whether napping or not, and what starts as a flash of an idea may grow into something truly remarkable.
8. What does the word “incubation” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. A time of restful waiting.
B. A state of deep focus.
C. A period of hard thinking.
D. A moment of sudden insight.
9. What can we learn about the 2025 study mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. The researchers gave all groups the same writing topic.
B. The effect of mind wandering was too weak to be noticed.
C. Wandering minds create more original works
D. All participants were given a 10-minute break before writing.
10. What does the author think of the “busy” break in Paragraph 3?
A. It is as effective as mind wandering.
B. It helps people focus better on problems.
C. It is widely used in scientific experiments.
D. It occupies memory and harms creative thinking.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Different ways to improve storytelling skills.
B. The importance of taking regular naps in daily life.
C. Virginia Woolf’s unique writing style and great works.
D. How mind wandering and incubation help creative thinking.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章以作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的创作方法引入,结合多项科学研究,阐述大脑放空与酝酿期对创造性思维的作用。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线单词所在的句子“Her approach was to engage herself in incubation. Taking a cue from her approach may help you when you’re stuck for words. (她的方法是让自己投入incubation。借鉴她的方法可能在你词穷时有所帮助。)”以及第二段开头“According to latest controlled studies, a period of downtime develops creative ideas. (根据最新的对照研究,一段休息时间能培养创意。)”可知,incubation指的是一段休息等待的时间,让思维自由发展。与“A time of restful waiting”意思相近。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的句子“A 2025 study showed the benefits of mind wandering. Researchers asked participants to write a fictional story in 10 minutes based on a given cue. Before writing, one group took a break to let their minds wander, while another had no break at all. Though the cue allowed wide creativity, the mind-wandering group produced the most creative stories, with more diverse thinking and higher creativity ratings. (2025年的一项研究显示了大脑放空的好处。研究人员要求参与者根据给定的提示在10分钟内写一个虚构的故事。写作前,一组休息让大脑放空,另一组根本不休息。尽管提示允许广泛的创造力,但大脑放空组写出了最具创意的故事,思维更具多样性,创造力评分更高。)”可知,放空的大脑能创造出更具原创性的作品。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“The people asked to take a 'busy' break — spending 10 minutes on a spot-the-difference task — were less than half as likely to gain the problem-solving insight as the wandering group. Apparently, engaging in this kind of break while occupying working memory is self-defeating. (被要求‘忙碌’休息的人——花10分钟做找不同任务——获得问题解决洞察的可能性还不到走神组的一半。显然,在工作记忆被占用的情况下进行这种休息是适得其反的。)”可知,作者认为“忙碌”休息占用记忆并损害创造性思维。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了大脑放空和酝酿期对创造性思维的帮助,通过研究结果说明休息和大脑放空能产生创造性想法。
D
Some check watches or phone apps to know the time, but few realize our bodies have an internal clock — our circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Disrupted rhythms are linked to illnesses like Type 2 Diabetes and cancer, and drug effects vary significantly by administration time. This connection between treatment time and health outcomes has generated a specialized approach: chronotherapy.
The idea of chronotherapy — giving drugs at right times — owes much to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which describes organs’ activity peaks at specific times. French researcher Francis Lévi drew on this wisdom to explore cancer treatment: healthy cells divide fixedly, while cancer cells multiply uncontrollably. Since chemotherapy (化疗) targets rapidly dividing cells, Levi reasoned that giving drugs when healthy cells are “asleep” could boost effectiveness and reduce side effects.
Medical tests proved promising. Those who received chemotherapy at 6 a.m. instead of 6 p.m. experienced far milder sickness and tiredness. Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 a.m. generate four times more antibodies than later in the day.
Yet chronotherapy faced a problem: everyone’s internal clock varies by up to 12 hours. Measuring it used to be time-consuming — tracking melatonin (褪黑素) release required hours in darkness and frequent samples. Now, new tests using blood or even hair offer quicker results. For example, Germany’s BodyClock test analyzes clock gene activity in hair follicles (毛囊) to reveal internal time, helping tailor treatments.
These advances in determining our biological time not only support precision medicine but also the use of daily rhythms to enhance overall health. For instance, exposure to morning light helps advance the body clock, while minimizing evening blue light promotes sound sleep. Scheduling demanding mental tasks or intense exercise during personal peak cognitive and physical periods (typically afternoon to early evening) can boost performance.
By making use of our circadian rhythm — through timed treatments and rhythm-aware living — we can unlock longer, healthier lives.
12. On what did Francis Lévi base his exploration of cancer treatment?
A. The different division patterns of cells.
B. The specific time when cancer cells divide slowly.
C. The measurement of patients’ sleep patterns.
D. The theoretical wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.
13. What is implied about chronotherapy in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. It has been widely applied in clinical practice.
B. Its application used to be limited by measurement barriers.
C. It mainly depends on traditional rhythm assessment methods.
D. Its actual effectiveness is closely related to treatment timing.
14. Which of the following is NOT a practical daily application of circadian rhythm?
A. Lisa opens the curtains right after waking up to get some sunlight every morning.
B. Tom avoids working on his laptop or scrolling through his phone right before bedtime.
C. David schedules his daily high-intensity training sessions between 4 and 6 p.m.
D. Mary gets her annual flu shot during her lunch break at 12:30 p.m.
15. What would be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Follow Your Circadian Rhythm
B. Reset Your Internal Clock Scientifically
C. Choose a Healthy Lifestyle Wisely
D. New Advances in Cancer Treatment
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍时间疗法的起源、实践效果、过往困境与现有突破,以及昼夜节律在医疗和日常生活中的运用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The idea of chronotherapy — giving drugs at right times — owes much to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which describes organs’ activity peaks at specific times. French researcher Francis Lévi drew on this wisdom to explore cancer treatment: healthy cells divide fixedly, while cancer cells multiply uncontrollably.(时间疗法——在恰当时间给药——这一理念很大程度上借鉴了中医,中医指出人体器官会在特定时段达到活动高峰。法国研究者Francis Lévi借鉴这一智慧研究癌症治疗:健康细胞分裂规律,而癌细胞则无序增殖。)”可知,Francis Lévi依托中医理论智慧开展癌症治疗探索。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容以及第四段中的“Yet chronotherapy faced a problem: everyone’s internal clock varies by up to 12 hours. Measuring it used to be time-consuming — tracking melatonin (褪黑素) release required hours in darkness and frequent samples.(然而时间疗法曾面临一个难题:每个人的生物钟差异最高可达十二小时。以往检测生物钟十分耗时,检测褪黑素分泌需要在黑暗环境中待数小时,还要频繁采集样本。)”可知,过去检测生物钟的方式存在阻碍,限制了时间疗法的应用。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 a.m. generate four times more antibodies than later in the day.(其他领域也出现了类似益处:下午进行心脏手术安全性更高,上午九点至十一点接种流感疫苗产生的抗体数量是当天晚些时候接种的四倍。)”可知,流感疫苗适宜在上午9点至11点接种,十二点半接种不符合昼夜节律的应用要求。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“By making use of our circadian rhythm — through timed treatments and rhythm-aware living — we can unlock longer, healthier lives.(利用昼夜节律,配合定时治疗与顺应节律的生活方式,我们就能拥有更长寿、健康的人生。)”可知,文章围绕昼夜节律展开,介绍其在医疗、生活中的价值,“顺应你的昼夜节律”最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays, many people talk about AI but only recite definitions or know nothing about technical terms. I believe that there are these 4 terms that, if you actually understand them, you’ll be miles ahead of almost everyone else in the room. Let’s start.
Tokens
____16____ Instead, they process small text pieces known as tokens. For example, the sentence “I love pizza” can be broken into 3 tokens: “I”, “love”, “pizza”. Tokens are the atoms of AI language. ____17____
Context window
It’s the total amount of text measured in tokens that an AI model can see and consider at one time. This includes everything: your instructions, any documents you’ve shared, and the model’s own replies. ____18____ What is the practical lesson? If you’re working on something important like summarizing a long document or analyzing data, always be aware that your AI might be forgetting earlier parts of your conversation.
Temperature
When you ask an AI to write something, there’s a setting known as temperature, which decides how random or predictable the output will be. Higher = more creative, lower = more predictable. So here’s the unwritten rule that most people don’t know: If you’re using AI for writing fiction, increase the temperature. ____19____ If you’re using AI for factual tasks, you want low temperature. The AI should be precise, not creative.
Hallucination
Hallucination is when an AI gives out wrong answers with absolute confidence. Why does this happen? AI language models are not databases. They don’t look up facts. They predict the next most likely token based on patterns they learned during training. ____20____
A. AI models don’t read words or even letters.
B. It’s the advantage of almost every useful AI product.
C. So we should never trust AI blindly for vital information.
D. You want the unexpected, surprising twists and fresh ideas.
E. This helps you know why your AI assistant is acting confused.
F. Think of it as a whiteboard — old content must be erased when full.
G. Understand this, and you’ll see why some prompts (提示符) work better.
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. D 20. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍人工智能的四个专业术语,分别阐释其含义、原理以及对应的实际使用技巧。
【16题详解】
下文“Instead, they process small text pieces known as tokens.(相反,它们处理被称为指令的小文本片段)”与设空句存在转折逻辑,A选项“AI models don’t read words or even letters.(人工智能模型不读取单词,甚至不读取字母)”先介绍人工智能不会读取字词,与后文处理指令的运作方式形成转折对比,上下文逻辑衔接紧密。
【17题详解】
上文“Tokens are the atoms of AI language.(指令是人工智能语言的基本单位)”介绍指令的核心定义,G选项“Understand this, and you’ll see why some prompts (提示符) work better.(理解这一点,你就会明白为何有些提示词效果更好)”承接上文内容,点明掌握指令知识的实际作用,自然过渡至下一术语的讲解,语意连贯顺畅。
【18题详解】
上文“It’s the total amount of text measured in tokens that an AI model can see and consider at one time.(它是人工智能模型一次能够查看和考量的、以令牌计量的文本总量)”解释了上下文窗口的定义,下文“If you’re working on something important like summarizing a long document or analyzing data, always be aware that your AI might be forgetting earlier parts of your conversation.(如果你在处理总结长篇文件、分析数据这类重要工作,一定要留意人工智能可能会忘记你们此前对话的内容)”提及人工智能会遗忘前期对话内容。F选项“Think of it as a whiteboard — old content must be erased when full.(可将它看作一块白板,存满后旧内容就会被清除)”用通俗比喻解释上下文窗口的容量特性,完美衔接前后文内容,逻辑通顺。
【19题详解】
上文“When you ask an AI to write something, there’s a setting known as temperature, which decides how random or predictable the output will be. Higher = more creative, lower = more predictable....If you’re using AI for writing fiction, increase the temperature.(当你让人工智能进行写作时,有一项名为温度的设置,它决定输出内容的随机性与可预判性。数值越高,创意性越强;数值越低,内容越容易预判。……如果你使用人工智能创作小说,就调高温度值)”说明创作小说需要调高温度参数,D选项“You want the unexpected, surprising twists and fresh ideas.(你需要出人意料的情节转折与新颖的想法)”解释了创作小说调高温度的原因,呼应前文温度越高创意性越强的设定,上下文因果逻辑清晰。
【20题详解】
前文“Hallucination is when an AI gives out wrong answers with absolute confidence. Why does this happen? AI language models are not databases. They don’t look up facts. They predict the next most likely token based on patterns they learned during training. (幻觉指人工智能十分笃定地给出错误答案。这种情况为何会出现?人工智能语言模型并非数据库,它们不会查询事实,而是依据训练阶段学到的规律,预测下一个最可能出现符号)”介绍了人工智能幻觉的定义,并说明人工智能依靠训练模式预测文本、不会检索事实,因此会自信输出错误答案。C选项“So we should never trust AI blindly for vital information.(因此我们绝不能在重要信息上盲目相信人工智能)”根据前文原理推出合理结论,衔接自然。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It was on a misty autumn morning that I first met an old German woman. Her ____36____ (dye) wool with plant leaves was a delicate art that absorbed almost every waking moment of her life. Her hands, stained blue and yellow, told stories I could not yet read. Why would anyone in the ____37____ (twenty) century bother with such a laborious craft? Most ____38____ (German) I knew would have laughed. But she never gave a direct answer. One day, pointing to a piece of cloth that had failed to take color evenly, she whispered, “These imperfect patches are the only truly original parts.” It was then that I realized her approach was ____39____ (whole) different from the modern pursuit of perfection. Her ____40____ (explain) of beauty stayed with me: “A thing is beautiful because of its mistakes.” I have never encountered ____41____ a little kind act in any other teacher that it completely reshaped my understanding of love — for she accepted every flaw as a gift. It was precisely her gentle voice in ____42____ I had placed my deepest trust that planted this seed in my heart. Many years later, I am certain that the memory I had thought long buried — the same memory of her stained hands and her whisper about beauty, which I had so often tried to suppress from my conscious mind — sprang back that cold December evening, bringing her smile and the smell of wet wool, as if no time ____43____ (pass) at all. ____44____ a cold December evening, I finally understood that she had taught me not a skill, but a way of being. To become ____45____ honest observer of one’s own life is to accept every mark as part of the design.
【答案】36. dyeing
37. twentieth
38. Germans
39. wholly 40. explanation
41. such 42. which
43. had passed
44. On 45. an
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述作者偶遇一位德国老妇人,从她植物染布的手艺与独特的审美观念中获得人生感悟的故事。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她用植物叶片染羊毛是一门精巧的技艺,这几乎占据了她醒着的所有时间。此处在句中作主语,描述经常性动作,使用动名词形式dyeing。
【37题详解】
考查数词。句意:在二十世纪,为什么还有人愿意费心钻研这样一项费力的手艺呢?表示“第几世纪”要用序数词,twenty对应的序数词为twentieth。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:我认识的大多数德国人都会对此不以为然。German为可数名词,前面有Most修饰,表示多数人,需用复数形式Germans。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:就在那时我意识到,她的理念与现代人对完美的追求完全不同。此处修饰形容词different,需用副词作状语,whole对应的副词形式为wholly意为“完全地”。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:她关于美的一番话一直萦绕在我心头:“一件事物正因为有瑕疵,才显得美丽。”形容词性物主代词Her后接名词作主语,explain对应的名词形式为explanation意为“解释”。
【41题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:直译:我在其他任何老师身上都从未遇到过这样微小的善意举动,它彻底改变了我对爱的理解——因为她将每一份缺憾都视作一份馈赠。表示“如此……以至于……”,且修饰的核心词是名词act,需用固定句型such...that...,所以此处为such。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:正是她那温柔的声音,我曾寄予最深的信任,在我心中种下了这颗种子。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,先行词voice指物,介词后用关系代词which。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:直译:多年以后,我确信,那段我以为早已尘封的回忆——那些关于她沾着污渍的双手、以及她对美的低语的片段,我曾无数次试图将其从脑海中抹去——在那个寒冷的冬夜再度浮现,伴着她的笑容与潮湿毛料的气息,仿佛岁月从未流逝。此处为谓语动词,pass的动作发生在主句动作sprang back之前,属于过去的过去,要用过去完成时,结构为“had+过去分词”,所以用had passed。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:在一个寒冷的十二月夜晚,我终于明白她教给我的并非一门手艺,而是一种生活态度。在具体某一个夜晚前,要用介词on,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:做一名忠实的生活观察者,就是接纳每一处印记都是人生构图的一部分。observer为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,结合句意,此处表示“一名观察者”为泛指,且honest是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Good afternoon, everyone. Glad you all could join me today. I’m excited to share my research on...” Uh-oh. “I’m excited to share my research on...” Oh no! No! No! “... my research on...” Why is this happening to me? My knees were trembling; my throat felt drier with every second. It was the annual seminar at my department, where all Ph. D students had to present their research progress. I looked around the lecture hall and saw 50 pairs of keen eyes staring at me, anticipating my next words. I was certainly not glad they had joined me, nor excited to be speaking.
Although I felt confident at my work bench and comfortable discussing my research with my mentor and lab mates, my introvert nature silenced me when I faced a larger, unfamiliar audience. Prior to graduate school, I had no experience in public speaking, and now the fear overwhelmed me. But with another seminar just a couple of months away and more public speaking ahead, I refused to let my nerves hold me back again.
I took a drastic step outside my comfort zone to sign up for an open mic event (开放麦) at a local stand-up comedy (脱口秀) club. I’d always admired the confidence of stand-up comedians, and I thought the relaxed atmosphere might allow a bit more room for error.
Although my jokes did not receive thunderous applause, I was surprised to find I enjoyed my time on stage, and I felt I could do better. I approached Sania, a brilliant comic whose wit and eloquence made her the highlight of the evening. Sania offered three invaluable tips. “Attend more open mic events,” she advised. “Watch more comics perform.” Her next piece of advice was to write and rewrite a script. And Sania’s saved her most valuable advice for last: Practice!
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
Though her tips were for comedy, they greatly improved my research presentation.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the time came for my next research presentation, the difference was clear.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Though her tips were for comedy, they greatly improved my research presentation. I kept attending various speeches to learn from experienced speakers. Following her advice, I carefully wrote and polished my presentation script to keep my words logical and smooth. Then I practiced repeatedly in front of lab mates and other people. Constant practice made me more familiar with the content and gradually eased my inner tension.
When the time came for my next research presentation, the difference was clear. I stood on the stage calmly without trembling or dry throat. I delivered my research fluently and naturally. The audience listened attentively and showed great interest. I finally overcame my fear of public speaking. This experience taught me that besides doing research well, being able to communicate ideas effectively is also of great importance.

We often conceive of beauty as something rare and splendid: mountain sunsets coloring the sky in streaks of orange and purple, stars scattered like broken diamonds across the night, and garden flowers blooming vividly enough to draw countless buzzing bees. In our eagerness to hunt for such extraordinary scenes, we rush through our days, yet we eventually discover that the most touching beauty, which is frequently neglected by those who fix their eyes only on grandeur, has been quietly surrounding us all along.
It dwells in the gentle morning light filtering through the window, casting soft shadows on a desk where a halffinished book rests; it lives in the silent rustle of turning pages, a steaming warm drink on chilly days, and the faint breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass mixed with dew. These ordinary moments unfold peacefully, like a gentle melody that echoes softly in our hearts.
I once pursued constant excitement, convinced that life ought to be thrilling and full of daring adventures, so I overlooked dull mornings, plain afternoons and tranquil evenings until I learned to slow down, pause and observe carefully, thus truly catching sight of the beauty hidden in daily trivialities (琐事).
I watched my mother arrange flowers with great care every weekend as if she were handling a precious treasure, and an elderly man feeding stray cats in the park while talking to them gently as if they were lifelong friends. I also observed raindrops dancing on windowpanes, leaves shifting colors with the seasons, and a stranger’s warm smile instantly sweeping away the gloom.
Beauty is seldom flashy; more often, it exists in the quiet, ordinary fragments of life that warm our souls. Appreciating such beauty requires patience and sensitivity, meaning we can truly love life and find happiness in small moments. We need not journey far to seek wonders, for they exist in every breath, every second and the gentle world around us. To cherish the ordinary is indeed the most beautiful state of life.
4. Why do many people overlook the most touching beauty?
A. They rush through daily tasks.
B. They only seek grand scenes.
C. They lack patience for life.
D. They dislike ordinary moments.
5. The author’s past attitude toward “constant excitement” can be described as ________.
A. supportive B. critical
C. neutral D. admiring
6. How does the author mainly present his/her argument?
A. By listing scientific facts.
B. By contrasting past and present views.
C. By quoting famous sayings.
D. By describing imaginary events.
7. What does the author mainly want to say?
A. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
B. The sun shines on both the palace and the cottage.
C. Stop and smell the roses.
D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
C
Novelist Virginia Woolf, like all writers, faced the challenge when preparing to write or speak: How do you draw out from the swirl (漩涡) of your thoughts a worthy insight? What kind of catch can you get to reward your audience? Her approach was to engage herself in incubation. Taking a cue from her approach may help you when you’re stuck for words.
According to latest controlled studies, a period of downtime develops creative ideas. The theory holds that wandering brains are not truly wandering. They are busy developing thoughts — linking related ideas, restructuring mental representations, and freeing attention from irrelevant thoughts. A 2025 study showed the benefits of mind wandering. Researchers asked participants to write a fictional story in 10 minutes based on a given cue. Before writing, one group took a break to let their minds wander, while another had no break at all. Though the cue allowed wide creativity, the mind-wandering group produced the most creative stories, with more diverse thinking and higher creativity ratings. The effect was slight but significant.
The experiment also showed something else: Staying too busy puts you at a disadvantage. The people asked to take a “busy” break — spending 10 minutes on a spot-the-difference task — were less than half as likely to gain the problem-solving insight as the wandering group. Apparently, engaging in this kind of break while occupying working memory is self-defeating.
If this approach works, what form works best? Many scientists theorize that sleep offers the biggest boost for problem-solving: people performed much better on matchstick rearrangement problems after a nap, though not all experiments show such neat results, as the benefit may depend on sleep stage and problem type. Overall, if you need an insight, tap into your unconscious like Virginia Woolf suggested — drop your line into its swirl, grab the pull whether napping or not, and what starts as a flash of an idea may grow into something truly remarkable.
8. What does the word “incubation” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. A time of restful waiting.
B. A state of deep focus.
C. A period of hard thinking.
D. A moment of sudden insight.
9. What can we learn about the 2025 study mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. The researchers gave all groups the same writing topic.
B. The effect of mind wandering was too weak to be noticed.
C. Wandering minds create more original works
D. All participants were given a 10-minute break before writing.
10. What does the author think of the “busy” break in Paragraph 3?
A. It is as effective as mind wandering.
B. It helps people focus better on problems.
C. It is widely used in scientific experiments.
D. It occupies memory and harms creative thinking.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Different ways to improve storytelling skills.
B. The importance of taking regular naps in daily life.
C. Virginia Woolf’s unique writing style and great works.
D. How mind wandering and incubation help creative thinking.
D
Some check watches or phone apps to know the time, but few realize our bodies have an internal clock — our circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Disrupted rhythms are linked to illnesses like Type 2 Diabetes and cancer, and drug effects vary significantly by administration time. This connection between treatment time and health outcomes has generated a specialized approach: chronotherapy.
The idea of chronotherapy — giving drugs at right times — owes much to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which describes organs’ activity peaks at specific times. French researcher Francis Lévi drew on this wisdom to explore cancer treatment: healthy cells divide fixedly, while cancer cells multiply uncontrollably. Since chemotherapy (化疗) targets rapidly dividing cells, Levi reasoned that giving drugs when healthy cells are “asleep” could boost effectiveness and reduce side effects.
Medical tests proved promising. Those who received chemotherapy at 6 a.m. instead of 6 p.m. experienced far milder sickness and tiredness. Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 a.m. generate four times more antibodies than later in the day.
Yet chronotherapy faced a problem: everyone’s internal clock varies by up to 12 hours. Measuring it used to be time-consuming — tracking melatonin (褪黑素) release required hours in darkness and frequent samples. Now, new tests using blood or even hair offer quicker results. For example, Germany’s BodyClock test analyzes clock gene activity in hair follicles (毛囊) to reveal internal time, helping tailor treatments.
These advances in determining our biological time not only support precision medicine but also the use of daily rhythms to enhance overall health. For instance, exposure to morning light helps advance the body clock, while minimizing evening blue light promotes sound sleep. Scheduling demanding mental tasks or intense exercise during personal peak cognitive and physical periods (typically afternoon to early evening) can boost performance.
By making use of our circadian rhythm — through timed treatments and rhythm-aware living — we can unlock longer, healthier lives.

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。
Nowadays, many people talk about AI but only recite definitions or know nothing about technical terms. I believe that there are these 4 terms that, if you actually understand them, you’ll be miles ahead of almost everyone else in the room. Let’s start.
Tokens
____16____ Instead, they process small text pieces known as tokens. For example, the sentence “I love pizza” can be broken into 3 tokens: “I”, “love”, “pizza”. Tokens are the atoms of AI language. ____17____
Context window
It’s the total amount of text measured in tokens that an AI model can see and consider at one time. This includes everything: your instructions, any documents you’ve shared, and the model’s own replies. ____18____ What is the practical lesson? If you’re working on something important like summarizing a long document or analyzing data, always be aware that your AI might be forgetting earlier parts of your conversation.
Temperature
When you ask an AI to write something, there’s a setting known as temperature, which decides how random or predictable the output will be. Higher = more creative, lower = more predictable. So here’s the unwritten rule that most people don’t know: If you’re using AI for writing fiction, increase the temperature. ____19____ If you’re using AI for factual tasks, you want low temperature. The AI should be precise, not creative.
Hallucination
Hallucination is when an AI gives out wrong answers with absolute confidence. Why does this happen? AI language models are not databases. They don’t look up facts. They predict the next most likely token based on patterns they learned during training. ____20____
A. AI models don’t read words or even letters.
B. It’s the advantage of almost every useful AI product.
C. So we should never trust AI blindly for vital information.
D. You want the unexpected, surprising twists and fresh ideas.
E. This helps you know why your AI assistant is acting confused.
F. Think of it as a whiteboard — old content must be erased when full.
G. Understand this, and you’ll see why some prompts (提示符) work better.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It was on a misty autumn morning that I first met an old German woman. Her ____36____ (dye) wool with plant leaves was a delicate art that absorbed almost every waking moment of her life. Her hands, stained blue and yellow, told stories I could not yet read. Why would anyone in the ____37____ (twenty) century bother with such a laborious craft? Most ____38____ (German) I knew would have laughed. But she never gave a direct answer. One day, pointing to a piece of cloth that had failed to take color evenly, she whispered, “These imperfect patches are the only truly original parts.” It was then that I realized her approach was ____39____ (whole) different from the modern pursuit of perfection. Her ____40____ (explain) of beauty stayed with me: “A thing is beautiful because of its mistakes.” I have never encountered ____41____ a little kind act in any other teacher that it completely reshaped my understanding of love — for she accepted every flaw as a gift. It was precisely her gentle voice in ____42____ I had placed my deepest trust that planted this seed in my heart. Many years later, I am certain that the memory I had thought long buried — the same memory of her stained hands and her whisper about beauty, which I had so often tried to suppress from my conscious mind — sprang back that cold December evening, bringing her smile and the smell of wet wool, as if no time ____43____ (pass) at all. ____44____ a cold December evening, I finally understood that she had taught me not a skill, but a way of being. To become ____45____ honest observer of one’s own life is to accept every mark as part of the design.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Good afternoon, everyone. Glad you all could join me today. I’m excited to share my research on...” Uh-oh. “I’m excited to share my research on...” Oh no! No! No! “... my research on...” Why is this happening to me? My knees were trembling; my throat felt drier with every second. It was the annual seminar at my department, where all Ph. D students had to present their research progress. I looked around the lecture hall and saw 50 pairs of keen eyes staring at me, anticipating my next words. I was certainly not glad they had joined me, nor excited to be speaking.
Although I felt confident at my work bench and comfortable discussing my research with my mentor and lab mates, my introvert nature silenced me when I faced a larger, unfamiliar audience. Prior to graduate school, I had no experience in public speaking, and now the fear overwhelmed me. But with another seminar just a couple of months away and more public speaking ahead, I refused to let my nerves hold me back again.
I took a drastic step outside my comfort zone to sign up for an open mic event (开放麦) at a local stand-up comedy (脱口秀) club. I’d always admired the confidence of stand-up comedians, and I thought the relaxed atmosphere might allow a bit more room for error.
Although my jokes did not receive thunderous applause, I was surprised to find I enjoyed my time on stage, and I felt I could do better. I approached Sania, a brilliant comic whose wit and eloquence made her the highlight of the evening. Sania offered three invaluable tips. “Attend more open mic events,” she advised. “Watch more comics perform.” Her next piece of advice was to write and rewrite a script. And Sania’s saved her most valuable advice for last: Practice!
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
Though her tips were for comedy, they greatly improved my research presentation.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the time came for my next research presentation, the difference was clear.
