B At 60, I finally decided to pursue a dream that I had ignored for decades: traveling solo along Australia’s western coast. For years, my longing for adventure had been drowned out by family, work and responsibilities. Yet as I turned 60, the inner call grew increasingly urgent, accompanied by fears that I had missed my last chance. Around that period, I was working with Jack, a 30-year-old client who intended to quit his job and explore the world. Our weekly talks acted like a mirror, pushing me to face my own fears of being laughed at, criticized by others, and abandoning the comfortable life I had been used to. According to a travel survey, I am far from alone. Among more than 2,800 respondents, 20% of people over 50, plan to travel alone, and 91% have experienced such trips. A strong sense of independence and a “seize the moment” attitude are inspiring older travelers to see the world in their own way. The real inner conflict appeared when I was about to book my flight. Part of me silently prayed that the payment might not go through. However, I realized that the mixed feelings of excitement and terror are quite normal. As people age, steady routines bring a sense of security, yet many people limit themselves to the comfort zone long after it stops benefiting them. Fortunately, I had my family’s full support. My husband and children all encouraged me to follow my heart. Their warmth left me wondering why I had hesitated for so many years. Research shows that facing fears helps produce dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” chemical. As I often tell my clients, “Nothing grows in the comfort zone except regret.” Now prepared to board my flight, I firmly believe fortune favors the brave. It is better to live bravely than to let dreams die without trying. 24. Why did the author decide to travel solo at 60? A. She was inspired by Jack’s plan. B. She was motivated by a travel survey. C. She finally responded to her inner call. D. She attempted to abandon responsibilities. 25. What is the purpose of mentioning the travel survey? A. To show that travel appeals to all. B. To prove her choice is widely shared. C. To stress we should seize the moment. D. To indicate seniors value independence. 26. What can be known about the author from paragraph 4? A. She doubted her comfort zone. B. She silently prayed to miss the trip. C. She worried about breaking routines. D. She was torn between joy and worry. 27. What message does the author want to convey? A. Overcome fears to avoid regret. B. Appreciate support from family. C. Follow your dreams despite age. D. Prioritize security over adventure. C Deep in the Amazon jungle, an unusual experiment is underway. Brazilian and British scientists are releasing thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide from giant towers into the forest. While it sounds like an environmental crime, the $ 50 million Amazon FACE project has a vital purpose: to model future atmospheric conditions and answer critical questions about Earth’s climate. The decade-long project, running until 2036, aims to resolve a sharp divide among climate modelers. Many predict that higher CO2 levels will boost photosynthesis (光合作用), causing trees to grow faster and absorb more human emissions (排放物) — a process known as carbon fertilization. However, doubtful scientists fear that nutrient shortages in the soil, combined with rising temperatures and severe droughts, will instead cause the forest to die off, speeding up global warming. To find the truth, researchers have set up giant forest towers in six rings among the trees. Three rings send out CO2 to raise local levels to 630 parts per million, matching the projected global average for 2080, while the others act as controls. Computer systems carefully monitor wind speed and adjust the gas release to maintain consistent levels. Scientists will measure how this “time machine” affects the forest’s health. They will track photosynthesis rates, carbon storage in roots and leaves, and changes in soil water content. They also want to see how increased CO2 impacts water loss from trees, which could help individual plants survive droughts but might ultimately reduce overall rainfall in the region. Despite being proposed in 1991, the research faced years of funding struggles before finally securing support from backers. Funny enough, recent climate change impacts, such as major droughts causing low river levels, delayed the delivery of construction equipment. Now fully operational, the project promises to provide real-world data to improve climate models, revealing whether the Amazon will remain a thick carbon sink or transform into a dry savanna (稀树草原) in the coming century. 28. What is the Amazon FACE project aimed at? A. Raising critical questions. B. Figuring out human emissions. C. Changing the forest environment. D. Modeling to address climate issues. 29. What are doubtful researchers mainly worried about? A. The soil becoming too dry. B. The forest dying out. C. The nutrients disappearing fast. D. Disasters occurring more often. 30. What does the project involve in managing the carbon dioxide levels? A. Matching the global average. B. Shifting root storage. C. Making adjustments digitally. D. Monitoring the growth of trees. 31. What funny incident occurred during the project’s construction phase? A. A carbon sink was discovered. B. Money was secured from backers. C. The forest turned into a savanna. D. Extreme weather postponed delivery. D When Anthropic announced a new artificial intelligence feature to help users perform legal tasks, it led to massive panic. Investors cut billions of dollars off tech shares, fearing a future called the “SaaSapocalypse”. Many worried that AI models would expunge the need for traditional software-as-a-service traders. Investors assumed companies would simply ask AI to carry out tasks or write custom software rather than buying expensive programs from established companies. However, experts argue this end-of-the-world view is completely overblown. History shows that new technology rarely destroys existing industries so simply. For example, the rise of desktop publishing in the 1990s led to frightening predictions about the death of commercial print shops. Instead, the technology lowered barriers to entry, actually causing the number of print shops to reach peak levels. Similarly, as AI makes writing code (代码) easier, it might not destroy software traders but rather bring about rapid growth in specialized software companies. Furthermore, economic theories regarding whether a company should “buy or build” remain relevant. For common work like accounting or human resources, businesses will likely find it much more efficient to continue purchasing from established traders. These companies possess secure systems, top designers, and strict repair plans that most other businesses cannot easily match. While employees might use AI to create small productivity tools, using it to build important systems from the ground up is considered extremely risky. Finally, the shift will likely be very gradual. History shows that companies adopt new technologies slowly to minimize potential problems. Rather than entirely replacing purchased software with in-house code, businesses will likely rely on existing traders who integrate AI capabilities directly into their current platforms. As one expert noted, asking people to use AI to code a vital payroll system is like changing tires on a moving car. Therefore, rather than eating the software industry, AI is far more likely to feed its future growth. 32. What does the underlined word “expunge” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Keep up with. B. Do away with. C. Look forward to. D. Lead up to. 33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The death of commercial printing. B. The growth in specialized software. C. Historical evidence against the panic. D. Terrible predictions about technologies. 34. Why will companies continue buying standard operations software? A. Transition is a speedy process. B. History minimizes potential problems. C. AI creates small productivity tools. D. Seasoned traders offer reliable systems. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Feeding the Software Industry, Not Eating It. B. Building Corporate Systems, Not Buying Them. C. The Desktop Scare: How Print Shops Would Die. D. The SaaS Panic: How AI Threatens Software Companies. 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。 I caught sight of myself in a cafe window the other day, bent over my phone, with my head down and shoulders tense near my ears. 36 And I began to wonder how good it could feel to shake it off. Small, everyday habits can lead to bad posture (体态). Whether we are using our phones on the sofa or working at the kitchen table, we may bend over or sit in one place for too long without noticing it. But over time, little things can become habits. And those little habits? 37 Poor posture does more than cause muscle aches. It can also affect your breathing, mood, and energy levels. When we bend forward, our chest becomes less open, which limits oxygen intake and often leads to shallow breathing. 38 That is why good posture matters. It benefits us physically, mentally, and emotionally. It can help reduce pain, improve breathing, and enhance digestion, while also boosting energy levels and helping us sleep better. But there’s a gap between knowing posture is good and actually making it a habit. 39 Essentially, good posture means keeping your body in the right position whether you are standing, walking, or sitting. This means keeping your head, shoulders, and hips in line, relaxing your shoulders, engaging your core, and avoiding unnecessary tension. 40 Because little changes add up, experts recommend a few simple but effective ways to improve it. When sitting at your desk, keep your feet flat on the floor, support your lower back, and relax your shoulders. When using your phone, bring the screen up to eye level instead of bending your neck down. A. So what does good posture actually look like? B. Posture is a habit that affects almost everything you do. C. Why do people usually need to maintain good posture? D. It is often caused by the way we sit, stand, and use our phones. E. Over time, this can make you feel tired, anxious or emotionally low. F. That’s when I realized how easily bad posture slips into our daily life. G. They can have a lasting impact on our bodies in ways we might not realize. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题） 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Becoming an influencer by talking about plants may sound unusual, but Kyle Lybarger has done just that.

Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it. Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening. Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change. Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins, sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.” Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved. However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said. “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas, Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.” Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, and Mr. Jenkins celebrated every progress she made, no matter how minor it was. （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。 Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
