B A few years ago, we bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time. Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to build the model. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again. Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling, but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end result. Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it. 24. Which can best describe the author’s experience of building the Lego model? A. Simple and uninteresting. B. Imaginative and enjoyable. C. Complicated and rewarding. D. Challenging and discouraging. 25. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model? A. Life requires to be planned carefully. B. Life doesn’t come with clear guidance. C. Mistakes in life can always be corrected. D. Life’s uncertainty makes it more exciting. 26. What can be inferred from the father-son Lego experience? A. The building process was always smooth and easy. B. Following instructions totally brings perfect results. C. Colored bricks are the most difficult part to handle. D. Uncertainties can bring unexpected warm feelings. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lego: A Symbol of Family Bond B. Building with Lego: Lessons for Life C. The Complexity of Architectural Models D. Life: A Journey Without Instructions C Have you ever wondered what sets successful people apart? Could it be the way how they use their minds? Dr. Joseph Murphy believes the secret lies in the subconscious mind (潜意识). His book, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, shows how this hidden force can help you reach your full potential and change your life. The book is structured in an easy-to-read format, with short, clear chapters that explain complex ideas in everyday language. Murphy, who studied religion, philosophy, and psychology, uses simple words to describe how the subconscious works. Each chapter covers a different topic — like picturing goals, saying positive things, or improving health — and gives practical steps with real-life examples. Murphy begins by drawing a clear distinction between the two parts of the brain: the conscious and the subconscious. Murphy then argues that the subconscious mind is an unlimited source of creativity that influences our habits and health, and by uniting mentally and emotionally with the good you wish to embody (体现), the creative power of your subconscious will respond accordingly. However, the book’s real strength is its practical application. Murphy provides case studies and examples that demonstrate how real people have used these principles to achieve personal success. Whether it’s financial stability, career advancement, or personal relationships, the techniques can be applied universally. However, the book isn’t perfect. Murphy’s friendly style and wide knowledge — from religion to science — make it interesting, but some ideas, like the law of attraction, don’t have strong evidence. This might bother readers who want facts. Even so, the practical tips stand out. Whether you want a better job, health, or relationships, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind can give you tools to shape your life with your thoughts — a powerful idea worth trying. 28. What characterizes Murphy’s writing style? A. Long chapters on theories. B. Big ideas in simple language. C. Practical steps without examples. D. Complex theories in academic language. 29. What is the author’s attitude towards the view of subconscious mind in the book? A. Skeptical throughout the text. B. Firmly disapproving. C. Generally appreciative objectively. D. Totally unconcerned. 30. Who might be the least interested in the book? A. Evidence-driven readers. B. Positive mindset seekers. C. Success strategy learners. D. Personal growth enthusiasts. 31. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the text? A. To present a self-help book. B. To list methods for success. C. To encourage optimistic thinking. D. To explain subconscious mechanisms. D Scientists have given artificial intelligence (AI) the capacity to “feel” surfaces for the first time, opening up a new dimension for applying the technology in the real world. Tapping into quantum (量子) science, the researchers combined a scanning laser (激光) with anew AI model trained to distinguish different surfaces from laser images. The system sends very brieflight signals onto a surface and analyses the reflected light, which contains grain-like noise, a type ofimperfection that emerges in imagery. This is normally considered detrimental to imaging, but in this case the researchers used AI to interpret them, allowing the system to identify the surface structure. “This is a marriage of AI and quantum,” said Daniel Tafone of New Jersey’s Stevens Institute of Technology. The team tested 31 types of industrial sandpaper with roughness ranging from 1 to 100 micrometres, with the roughest about the width of a human hair. They then set up the system, which used a laser that sent out extremely short light bursts — one trillion (兆) of these bursts equal one second. The light signals passed through sending and receiving units, hit the sandpaper, and bounced back for AI analysis. The reflected light came from different points on the surface and was counted by a highly sensitive light detector. The system achieved an average error of roughly 8 micrometres — but this improved to just 4 micrometres after the AI worked with multiple samples. This is roughly in line with the accuracy of surface-measuring devices currently in use. “Interestingly, our system performed best on the finest surfaces, such as diamond polishing film,” Tafone said. These materials are often used on sand paper for specific applications. The scientists said that the new method could serve multiple purposes, including in medical contexts to detect the thickness of moles (痣) that may be the indicator of skin cancer. “Tiny differences in mole roughness, too small to see with the human eye but measurable with our proposed quantum system, could distinguish between those conditions,” said Yuping Huang, director of the Stevens’ Centrefor Quantum Science and Engineering. “Quantum interactions provide a wealth of information; using AI to quickly understand and process it is the next logical step.” 32. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Identical. B. Crucial. C. Relevant. D. Damaging. 33. What can we learn about the system? A. It had highly improved accuracy. B. It greatly enhanced AI’s sensitivity. C. It worked hard on polishing surfaces. D. It analysed sandpaper more efficiently. 34. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning moles in Paragraph 4? A. The underlying cause of skin cancer. B. The visual limitation of the human eye. C. The high effectiveness of medical assistance. D. The potential application of the new method. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Quantum Unlocks Massive Possibilities in Medicine B. Quantum-Powered AI Feels and Measures Surfaces C. New Laser Technology Enhances Sandpaper Quality D. AI-Driven Technology Transforms the Imaging Field 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。 In an age of instant pleasure, constant notifications, and nonstop productivity pressure, slow living has emerged as a quiet resistance. 36 It is an intentional choice to prioritize presence, quality, and meaning over speed and quantity. Slow living offers profound benefits for mental health, relationships, and overall well-being that modern fast-paced life often overlooks. Slow living reduces stress and anxiety. 37 We release cortisol (皮质醇) and overload our nervous systems. By slowing down — whether through mindful eating, unhurried walks, or simply pausing to breathe — we activate the body’s relaxation response. Studies show that regular slow moments lower cortisol levels, improve sleep quality, and reduce feelings of overwhelm. 38 In a world of quick texts and superficial interactions, taking time to engage fully with people fosters genuine relationships. A slow conversation over coffee, a shared meal without phones, or a quiet evening with family creates space for empathy, listening, and emotional closeness. 39 Slow living cultivates gratitude and joy. The world offers us countless small beauties: a sunrise, a warm cup of tea, the sound of rain. 40 By slowing down, we learn to notice and appreciate these moments. This practice of mindfulness shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have, fostering a lasting sense of gratitude and contentment that no amount of speed or achievement can match. A. It is not about laziness or inefficiency. B. Slow living deepens connections with others. C. Yet rushing blinds us to the small pleasures of life. D. Modern society believes faster means more effective. E. These meaningful bonds are essential for human well-being. F. Rushing through tasks keeps our bodies in fight-or-flight mode. G. Far from being inefficient, slow living can actually make us more productive. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I still remember the day I bought my “nice” notebook. It was a leather-bound journal with cream-colored pages. I was sure it would make me the type of person who journals regularly, and who 41 beautiful thoughts. But it didn’t work. That gorgeous notebook sat 42 for months. When I finally opened it, I hesitated. The pages felt too delicate and too 43 to waste on my messy handwriting and ideas. So I 44 it. Instead, I grabbed an old, ugly composition notebook with a 45 cover and dog-eared corners. I started to 46 it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders. This is surprisingly 47 . I actually wrote. Every day. Without exception. The psychology is real. When we 48 something too much, we place limits around it, feeling it is “too good”. But the ugly notebook carries no such 49 . It has been used. It tells me, “This is a 50 for thinking and living, not a museum piece.” Here’s the thing: 51 notebooks are idea incubators (孵化器). With the pressure off, you experiment more. You try things that might 52 . And in that freedom, bad ideas I was 53 embarrassed about gradually evolved into work I’m proud of. And that’s where the real work of creation happens. The best notebook is never the most beautiful one. It’s the one you’ll actually 54 . Because the magic happens in the 55 , not in perfect pages. Your ugly notebook is waiting. 41.

A mom and dad in Oklahoma must be especially proud of their little boy after he rose to the occasion with rare and praiseworthy courage when their lives were in danger. The story began when tornadoes (龙卷风) hit the area of Marietta, Oklahoma, at the end of April Wayne Baker, a husband and father who lives in the area, noticed an odd stillness in the air. He didn’t hesitate, gathering his wife, Lindy, and their son, nine-year-old Branson, jumping in their truck and heading for a neighbor’s storm shelter. But on the way there, the tornado caught up with them with howling winds and spinning clouds. In a second, a massive tree was lifted from the earth and hurled (猛扔) towards their truck, destroying the vehicle like a fragile toy. Wayne and Lindy were badly injured and trapped Wayne’s back, neck and arm were broken, and he also lost part of a finger. Lindy’s back, neck, jaw, ribs (肋骨) and right hand were broken. She had gone through the windshield (挡风玻璃) and remained halfway in the vehicle and halfway out. It was pretty horrible. Fortunately, young Branson was not injured in the backseat. Most of us, at any age, wouldn’t want to take a single step in such horrible conditions. Yet somehow, this nine-year-old boy found the strength to go for help. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Despite the chaos and danger, Branson managed to climb out of the broken car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Branson explained the situation, they immediately sprang into action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
