Good news — celebrations are getting a high-tech, eco-friendly makeover! Forget loud bangs and smoky skies. Check out these awesome new ways to light up the night! Drone Shows — Like a Sci-Fi movie Drone shows generate zero pollution, and they are controlled by precise GPS and intelligent programming, which avoid the fire danger and accidental burns. Drones are reusable, making the shows more cost-effective in the long run compared to one-time fireworks displays. Digital Fireworks — Just press play At the Hangzhou Asian Games, AR was used to create stunning 3D fireworks. Audiences at the site can still experience the fireworks atmosphere through a huge screen that is 185 meters wide and 15 meters high. At home, your phone screen might just become the best seat through the live broadcast. Silent Fireworks — Keep it calm & bright Quiet household fireworks for birthdays, weddings and housewarmings deliver lively light shows without the scary BOOM. They get rid of the big noise so that kids, pets, and everyone can enjoy the sparkle without the panic. It’s a colorful win for fun and kindness. Eco Balloons — Fireworks alternatives Shuyang balloons are made of a special material that breaks down naturally. They can float gracefully, sparkle brightly and burst cheerfully in the grand ceremony. Notably, 80,000 of these eco-friendly balloons were released at the Tiananmen Square, which was very impressive. Celebrations are evolving — brighter, smarter, and kinder to Earth.

B I have always felt a deep pull to travel solo, to let my adventurous spirit lead the way. That longing lingered for years, but life got in the way. Family, work, responsibilities — they quietened the voice until it became barely a whisper. Then, I turned 60, and the voice grew louder, but I worried it was too late, that I’d missed my chance. Around then, I started working with Jack, a counselling client with the same restless energy. He wanted to quit his job to see the world, and talking with him felt like speaking to a mirror, forcing me to confront my fear of leaving my safe, comfortable life. It wasn’t until Jack announced he was ready to build a better-fitting life that I felt inspired to take the leap, planning a solo trip along Australia’s western coast. The real test came when I booked my flights and accommodation. Part of me secretly hoped the payment might fail, giving me time to reconsider. But as a counsellor, I’ve seen too many cling to familiar routines long after they stop serving them. As my booking went through, I knew that stepping into uncertainty, at any age, opens the door to growth, confidence, and joy. It’s not easy, but every step brings greater reward. My family’s encouragement made this easier. My steady husband hugged me and said, “You’ll regret it if you don’t go.” My adult children were thrilled and called me courageous. Of course, fear naturally holds us back, but facing it is the first step to real breakthroughs. Courage is less about conquering fear, more about trusting yourself amid uncertainty. Writing this from the airport, about to board my flight to Australia, I know fortune favors the brave. It may not be easy to overcome the fear of solo travel, but it’s better to live boldly than to let dreams fade without giving it a go. 24. Which of the following statements about the author is true? A. She started her career as a counsellor after meeting her client Jack. B. She believed age is an unbreakable barrier for exploring the world. C. She finally gave up the trip because her payment failed to go through. D. She put her personal dream aside for years because of family and work. 25. What directly inspired the author to plan her solo trip? A. Her failed flight booking. B. Her client Jack’s decision. C. Her 60th birthday reflection. D. Her family’s encouragement. 26. Why did the author secretly hope her flight payment would fail? A. She was unwilling to go on the solo trip. B. She needed more time to reconsider the route. C. She doubted her ability to handle the trip alone. D. She was not fully ready to leave her comfort zone. 27. What does the author want to convey in the passage? A. Fortune comes to those acting without fear. B. Bravery conquers the fear that accompanies uncertainty. C. Courage involves acting even when you want to hold back. D. Boldness relies on encouragement from family members. C Artificial intelligence is contributing to significant advances in many academic and technical fields. Although the application of AI tools can benefit science and society, it also creates risks. AI slop — low-quality, inaccurate content from Generative AI like ChatGPT — floods scientific literature with false data and misleading reasoning. AI review tools favour such slop. After ChatGPT’s 2022 release, scientists lacking oversight submit error-ridden papers. AI slop also appears in paper mills (工厂) — companies mass-producing papers; in 2022 alone, 416 mill-produced articles were withdrawn. Though fake (伪造的) research existed before Generative AI, this new technology has facilitated its expansion, driving a transition from individual bad actors to illegal businesses. Unfortunately, professional journals continue to publish AI slop. This problem arises partially from novel challenges specific to Generative AI, such as the difficulties involved in detecting AI slop; he complexities in enforcing policies that require disclosure (公开) of AI assistance; and the increase in submissions arising from AI assistance. The AI slop trend also results from long-standing failures in the review system. Even before Generative AI, overstretched volunteer reviewers and editors lacked the time and resources to ensure high standards, allowing many low-quality papers to pass. AI-generated and AI-assisted papers are pushing an already over-stressed system to the breaking point. Even the very citations that provide continuity and prior evidence in scientific papers are being undermined by Generative AI. Librarians have reported increasing requests for access to AI-generated citations that do not exist. Many such citations have already entered the academic literature, contributing to the reduction of trust in science. When researchers cite such slop, they pollute the academic world with unreliable or biased analyses, damaging confidence in the entire scientific ecosystem. What can we do to contain the AI slop in scientific research? Researchers who use AI to conduct literature searches should carefully check references for reliability. AI developers and companies bear some responsibility for ensuring that these tools are trained on high-quality research papers and data. For example, scientific institutions can pressure developers to fine-tune their AI models using the most reliable sources and to openly share the results of their safety and accuracy tests with users. This is just the beginning of a long journey. 28. How does the new technology lead to the expansion of fake research? A. It transforms illegal businesses. B. It saves struggling paper mills. C. It eliminates misleading reasoning. D. It boosts the production of false papers. 29. What can we learn about the academic review system? A. It is overburdened. B. It is underestimated. C. It is rich in resources. D. It is efficient in checks. 30. What does the underlined word “undermined” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Inspected. B. Strengthen. C. Weakened. D. Mixed. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI slop should be tackled collectively. B. AI companies should be fined severely. C. AI tools can be trained on various data. D. AI developers are the root cause of AI slop. D At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits. We actually spend nearly half our waking time daydreaming, but it isn’t always pleasant. A study found people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their thoughts. This explains why we automatically reach for phones during downtime. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others. Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 32. Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to people’s health. B. It helps people to avoid boredom. C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life. D. It brings quick but shallow enjoyment. 33. What is the 2022 study used to demonstrate? A. Phone addiction is avoidable. B. Daydreaming is undervalued. C. Being alone promotes learning. D. Self-reflection defines humans. 34. What does the default mode suggest? A. Unfocused thinking fuels creativity. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Maintain Focus in the Digital Age B. Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind D. Explore Secret Benefits of Social Daydreaming 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。 You may have already noticed the nights getting darker, quicker and the days getting shorter, colder and darker. 36 However, stress management expert Sam Wones has shared some top tips for staying sharp-minded. 37 A 20-minute nap is the best because anything past 30 minutes risks waking up in a deep sleep. Afternoon decline in energy and focus (1-3 p. m., or 7 hours after waking) is normal, a natural feature of circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). Napping is frowned upon in a productivity-driven society, but it’s how we’re hardwired. 38 For non-nappers, just be gentle with yourself, take a lunch break, step outside for fresh air or a walk, or focus on less taxing work. Moreover, Wones recommended prioritizing 7.5 hours of nightly sleep. A lack of sleep causes countless health risks beyond brain fog (脑雾). Research found sleeping over 9 hours can have similar harmful effects. He also suggested high-protein meals with slow-release carbs to stabilize energy. 39 Dates with butter and salt, for instance, help sustain blood sugar while satisfying a sweet tooth. Dehydration (脱水), even mild, can severely disrupt cognitive function, so try to introduce electrolytes (电解质) and minerals to your daytime water. Screens drain energy too, so it’s important to move away from your screen from time to time. Suggested work-and-rest ratios are 25:5, 50:10, or 90:15. For your breaks, look away from a screen, move your head, eyes, and stretch. 40 A. Breaks are a tool, not something to avoid. B. One of the most effective is taking a strategic short nap. C. Blood sugar levels influence focus, attention and output. D. Use it strategically to increase your capacity and productivity. E. Irregular sleep patterns often harm concentration during the day. F. These food choices keep blood sugar stable, preventing energy drops. G. As winter comes, it is hard to keep your energy levels up in the day. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Something magical is happening this summer: a group of high school students from the Golden Connections Club gather at Olive Community Services and learn some new skills — not from videos, but from real grandmas. The concept is quite simple: seniors teach kids 41 skills that once filled every household: sewing, ironing, cooking, and more. For Leena Albinali, a high school student and the club’s founder, this isn’t just an activity. It’s a 42 to bridge the gap between generations, while giving her peers (同龄人) a chance to 43 with elders, twice a week, in a(n) 44 way. “There is so much wisdom that lives in our 45 .” she says. “So when I 46 many teens had never learned how to sew on a button or iron a shirt, I saw a(n) 47 : what if seniors could teach them? And so I recruited (招募) some peers to 48 the new group.” Every week involves both a craft and 49 session. One day, kids practice stitching (针脚). Another day, they learn how to make apple pies.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer: “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer: “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 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。 Paragraph 1: Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm.
