Early in my teaching career, students complained about my accent, and my department chair once summed up my performance: Dr. Sun was a good teacher, but he had an accent. Even my children urged me to try harder. “Anything can be done,” they insisted. The unspoken accusation was clear: If I still sounded foreign, I wasn’t trying hard enough. What neither of them knew was that biology had already cast the die. There is a term for the firm influence of one’s mother tongue: imprinting, an early, mostly unchangeable form of learning. The idea first entered science through the brilliance of Konrad Lorenz, who famously persuaded newly hatched goslings to follow him as if he were their mother. At the time, imprinting was mostly treated as an animal curiosity. Its deeper relevance to humans took longer to sink in. Decades of research since then have reinforced the point. Human brains pass through a critical period for language acquisition. During childhood, neural (神经的) circuits are finely tuned to absorb sounds and accents. Later, those circuits become less flexible, not because adults are lazy, but because gene expression changes with age. This is why children can pick up a new language without an accent, while adults, no matter how dedicated, cannot. I stopped fighting this biological limit and focused on areas imprinting does not control: word choice, sentence structure and rhythm. Something unexpected happened — my English writing improved greatly, and I even began writing books in English. Biology does not write our future, but it does draw boundaries. That is why we abandon many childhood dreams: basketball for being too short, soccer for starting too late. Ignoring them, we trip up. Understanding them, we can work around them. The best kind of confidence is not the belief that you can do anything. It is the wisdom to know what you cannot do, and the discipline to stop wasting precious time trying to prove otherwise. 24. What did the author’s children accuse him of? A. Showing off his pronunciation. B. Not trying hard to drop his accent. C. Speaking with an accent in class. D. Refusing to learn standard English. 25. What does the underlined phrase “cast the die” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Delayed the process. B. Unlocked the potential. C. Improved the situation. D. Determined the outcome. 26. What makes it hard for adults to learn a foreign language without an accent? A. Mental laziness. B. Learning habits. C. Biological changes. D. Genetic patterns. 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Play to your strengths. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Early bird catches the worm. C Scientists have taken to the salon (美发厅) after realising hairdressers may be an “under-recognised” force in fueling climate action. Alongside their craft, hairdressers are known for their conversation skills, who often act as an agony aunt, adviser and friend rolled into one. New research from the University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformation (CAST) reveals this is what makes hair salons centers of trust that could be used to encourage conversations around climate change. The research team interviewed 30 UK salon owners about sustainability, and then ran a nationwide intervention in 25 sustainable salons using Mirror Talkers, where eco-tips are placed on salon mirrors to engender discussions on sustainable haircare practices. “The carbon footprint of shampoo (洗发水) is mostly in the hot water used,” says Denise Baden of the University of Southampton. “Simple messages like ‘most of us use too much shampoo and shampoo too often’ can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair.” The study found nearly 73% of salon clients were likely to change their haircare routines after conversations sparked by the Mirror Talkers, some even switching to eco-friendly products, using cooler water, and adopting greener habits at home. Researchers say this demonstrates how hairdressers have an “untapped ability” to weave climate change into everyday conversations and actions. They are now urging policymakers to roll out tools like Mirror Talkers nationally. “If we’re serious about building a public movement for climate action, then it’s time to invest in these unsung influencers because real change starts in everyday conversations,” says Dr Sam Hampton of CAST. Matilda Collins, a senior director and stylist, says the Mirror Talkers initiative could gain positive outcomes if the experience “feels natural and engages clients without being overly virtuous”. She adds, “Ultimately, the trust a stylist builds with the client is what will drive potential positive changes in behaviour. It could be a great education platform and a conversation starter, however.” 28. What does the underlined word “engender” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Stimulate. B. Maintain. C. Simplify. D. Control. 29. What is the focus of the third paragraph? A. The importance of saving water. B. The harm of overusing shampoo. C. The function of eco-tips in salons. D. The strategy of starting conversations. 30. What can we infer from Dr Sam Hampton’s words? A. Sound policies encourage investment. B. Daily conversations can make a difference. C. Unsung influencers need professional training. D. Mirror Talkers has gained nationwide popularity. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Salons: Overlooked Centers to Build Trust B. Haircare: A Hidden Source of Carbon Footprint C. Mirror Talkers: A Platform to Show Fashion Trends D. Hairdressers: Secret Weapons Against Climate Change D A new artificial intelligence system developed by researchers at the University of Surrey can forecast what a patient’s knee X-ray might look like in one year’s time. This breakthrough could reshape how people living with osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) understand and manage their condition. The research, presented at the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, features a powerful AI model that generates realistic “future” X-rays and a personalized risk score for estimating disease progression. Together, these outputs give doctors and patients a visual roadmap of how osteoarthritis may evolve over time. Osteoarthritis, a chronic joint disorder affecting more than 500 million people globally, is the leading cause of disability among older adults. For millions, monitoring disease progression has long relied on periodic X-rays and subjective symptom assessments, which provide limited visibility into future worsening. This unmet medical need has created an urgent demand for tools that can accurately predict future joint damage. Given this pressing need, David Butler, the study’ lead author, explained: “Our system not only predicts the likelihood of your knee getting worse, it also shows you a realistic image of what the knee could look like in a year. Seeing the past and future X-rays side by side is a powerful motivator. It helps doctors act sooner and gives patients a clearer picture of why sticking to their treatment plan or lifestyle changes matters.” The new system uses an advanced diffusion model to create a “future” X-ray, identifying 16 key joint points to highlight potential changes. This enhances transparency by showing clinicians exactly which parts of the knee are being monitored, boosting confidence in its predictions. The Surrey team believes in the future their approach, when modified, could be applied to other chronic issues, potentially predicting lung damage in smokers or tracking heart disease progression, offering similar visual insights and early warning for osteoarthritis. 32. What is the new AI system capable of? A. Offering personalized treatment plans. B. Curing knee-related diseases. C. Diagnosing early-stage osteoarthritis. D. Visualizing future knee conditions. 33. What is the function of Paragraph 3? A. To explain the cause of osteoarthritis. B. To suggest treatments for joint diseases. C. To show the necessity of the invention. D. To present research data of the AI system. 34. What does Butler emphasize about the system? A. Deeper insight and quicker recovery. B. Higher accuracy and easier accessibility. C. Wider application and faster diagnosis. D. Greater transparency and earlier intervention. 35. What gives the system a promising future? A. Its convenience. B. Its adaptability. C. Its affordability. D. Its efficiency. 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。 Have you ever taken a personality test? If you’re like me, you’ve consulted BuzzFeed to discover which Taylor Swift song perfectly matches your soul. 36 But even some “serious” personality tests used to guide educational and career choices are also problematic. They assume your personality is fixed—implying you’re forever stuck with the personality you’re born with. But modern personality research suggests that personality can and does change over time. 37 If you shift your mindset to believe that “being on time shows respect”, take pride in arriving early, and develop consistent habits like setting an alarm, you are changing. If you maintain these changes in your thoughts, emotions and behaviors over time—voila!—you are reliable. Personality: changed. Data confirms this idea. Generally, personality changes across a person’s life span. As people age, they tend to experience fewer negative emotions and more positive ones. They are more responsible, more positive, and are less judgmental of others. 38 You can accelerate this transformation through intentional cognitive-behavioral changes. First, you must examine your thinking patterns. For example, if you believe that “people only care about themselves,” you are more likely to act defensively. This leads to the second step: changing your behavior. If you are always defensive, others might snap at you or walk away. This only confirms your belief that you can’t trust others. 39 If you try behaving more openly—perhaps sharing your difficulties with a co-worker—you may see that they respond with kindness. This positive experience helps change your outlook. In the end, these strategies work because your personality is simply your usual way of thinking and acting. 40 A. To break this cycle, try a new response. B. But you don’t have to wait for time to do the work. C. Suppose, for instance, you’re not super dependable. D. It might be obvious that such quizzes are not scientific. E. Some people change a lot and some people hold pretty steady. F. You may believe they describe you accurately, even when they don’t. G. By making small, daily changes, you can craft the personality you desire. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） When you’re at high school, the littlest things can feel like a pretty big deal: 41 a deadline, failing an exam, or even getting a big pimple (粉刺) on the face. Enter my mum, with her words of wisdom: “You don’t want to 42 at high school.” I recall thinking the woman wasn’t well. Of course you want to be the 43 kid in your class.

Sometimes it was 45 by “none of this is going to mean anything to you in ten years’ time” or “you will 46 this one day.” I am uncertain of the exact moment when her words 47 for me, but they did. I think what Mum was trying to say was that there’s no fun in having everything sorted out at high school. It’s a 48 , but it’s meant to be. Your skin will 49 , and your grades don’t mean all that much once you start working. Once you’re out of high school, you will see the world, and you will realize just how 50 you are in it. But that’s a good thing. Those little-but-huge things become 51 things. They really do mean nothing ten years later, and you really do laugh about them. In all, those years of high school are just a 52 to the rest of your life. If you peak at that point, how can you go forward? Mum’s advice still guides the 28-year-old me, although in a 53 way. I no longer look at life as an 54 hike up to a certain point. There’s no 55 . Rather, there are a series of peaks. Things go great and then they don’t, but there are always better days ahead. 41. A. losing B. breaking C. missing D. meeting 42. A. peak B. shine C. fail D. struggle 43. A. easy-going B. hard-working C. good-looking D. best-performing 44.

It wasn’t because he never tried. His father taught him one summer when he was seven. He ran alongside him, holding the seat, and shouting “Keep pedalling (踩踏板)!” But Mark’s balance was terrible. He fell into the bushes, and both knees bled. After two weeks of trying, his dad sighed, “Maybe next year.” But that “next year” never came. The childhood shame stayed with him. Then, he grew up and had a family of his own. He never shared the secret with anyone but his wife, Lena. Most of the time, it didn’t matter. When friends invited him on bike trips, he volunteered to drive and bring snacks. When the kids were old enough to learn to ride, Lena offered to teach them. But lately, his twelve-year-old daughter Alice and seven-year-old son Bob were planning the first-ever “Family Bike Adventure.” They had picked a campsite (营地) by the lake and mapped a biking route around it. Every night, they’d argue about who would win the family race. Mark smiled through every conversation, but inside, his stomach tightened. In every other way, Mark was a perfect dad. He never missed a school event and could fix everything in the house. Admitting he couldn’t ride? That was hard. So he made a plan. After the kids went to bed, he slipped out and wheeled a bike to the empty market parking lot to practise. But thirty years after that summer, his body still remembered nothing. The bike seemed to have a mind of its own, and he just couldn’t control it. His legs shook. His hands ached. Sometimes he would crash into the wall. The next day, Alice, a considerate girl, asked about his bruised (淤青的) knees. But he said nothing. After several nights, Lena said to him, “You don’t have to do this. The kids don’t care. No one can do everything.” Mark shook his head. “They think I can. Let me try a little longer.” One night, after he fell off the bike again, he heard a voice. “Dad?” His heart stopped. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
