I have struggled with speaking English since learning it as a second language at 27. 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.

Late every summer, fat polar bears gather outside Kaktovik, the only settlement in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, to feast on whale bodies left behind by hunters. It is an attraction that once brought 1,000 or more tourists each day to the town. In 2021, however, the government stopped the polar bear tourism due to concerns about how tourists were affecting bear behavior and overrunning the tiny town with about 250 people.
Now, Kaktovik leaders are hoping to revive it, saying it could be worth millions to the local economy and give residents another source of income. “We definitely see the benefit for tourism,” said Charles Lampe, president of the Kaktovik Inupiat Corp, which owns 373 square kilometers of the reserve. “But it can’t be run like it was before.”
As far back as the early 1980s, anyone in Kaktovik with a boat and knowledge of the waters could take tourists out to watch the bears. When polar bears were declared a threatened species in 2008, tourism in Kaktovik grew unexpectedly fast, since many people wanted to see the creatures before they would die out by the end of the century.
As tourists flooded in, the government required tour operators to apply for permits which drove the locals out of the industry. Before long, large out-of-town operators moved in and even more tourists were coming to Kaktovik during the six-week viewing season. The town’s hotels and restaurants also became unprofitable when large operators began flying tourists in from Fairbanks or Anchorage for day trips.
Kaktovik leaders are now in talks with the government to address the concerns and re-start the industry, perhaps as early as 2027. The government said in a statement that it’s working with Kaktovik “to ensure that any future opportunities are managed in a way that will properly deal with resource protection, visitor’s safety and residents’ concerns.”
28.What most probably led to the end of the polar bear tourism in 2021?
A.Lack of skilled guides. B.Bear attacks.
C.Extinction of polar bears. D.Overtourism.
29.What can we say about the polar bear tours in Kaktovik in the early 1980s?
A.They were managed by the government. B.They were run by out-of-town operators.
C.They were mainly organized by individuals. D.They were usually led by well-trained guides.
30.Which of the following can best describe the official permits?
A.They were very helpful for local economy.
B.They benefited the large companies greatly.
C.They required large operators to help the locals.
D.They did not allow locals to work in the industry.
31.What is the government’s attitude to Kaktovik leaders’ proposal?
A.Favorable. B.Doubtful. C.Unsupportive. D.Unclear.
D
Scientists have long identified four elements about apps or social media that hold children’s attention for as long as possible. Understanding them may help parents know how to avoid potential traps for their kids.
One of the elements is solitude. Studies have found that children who regularly use screens alone in their bedrooms have a higher risk of developing what psychologists call problematic usage. That is, they continue to use an app or play a game even when it damages their health. For example, the app may affect their sleep or friendships, but they still could not stop.
Another element is bottomlessness. Videos keep appearing on TikTok and YouTube. Photos, comments and likes keep popping up on Instagram. Apps have seemingly endless materials for kids to see, and they all show or play automatically. There’s no natural stopping point. So kids never feel finished or satisfied. That feeling grows even stronger with the third ingredient (成分) added into the mix: speed.
For social media, the speed at which kids can find “new” content has jumped with several technological advancements, including the invention of higher-speed internet and easy scroll (翻屏). So the faster kids can scroll and watch, the harder it is for them to pull away from an app. The speed can create a sense that they merge (合体) with the screen. In other words, they don’t know where they begin and the machine ends. The speed just pulls them into this flow.
The final ingredient is teasing. Here’s how teasing typically works: The app never gives kids what they are really looking for. It gives just enough to keep them attracted. This teasing gives kids the feeling that they’re going to get what they’re seeking soon. So they’ll be there all day trying to get that next big thing. This is perhaps the most important feature of the app.
With all these four elements, nearly everyone, not just the kids, will get addicted to the app or social media.
32.Which phenomenon can be described as solitude?
A.Playing alone. B.Offering endless rewards.
C.Responding quickly. D.Keeping users unsatisfied.
33.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Children. B.Videos. C.Programs. D.Apps.
34.What is probably the most addictive element about an app?
A.Solitude. B.Teasing. C.Speed. D.Bottomlessness.
35.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A.To review a product. B.To warn teenagers.
C.To analyze the harm. D.To keep parents informed.

Of course, not all book clubs are the same, and there are a lot of different ways to organise. But if you’re wondering how to start a group that actually meets, we do have some ideas.
36
Organizing a book club meeting can be more painful than you might expect. Our advice is that it’s really important to make sure that scheduling is easy. 37 . Then stick to the monthly schedule so that it’s super predictable when book clubs are happening.
Set an intention
Our second piece of advice is to set an intention for your book club so that everyone who attends really understands why they’re there and what they’re doing. 38 , then try to read more widely than you have previously done. If it is about meeting new people, then folks can bring a new person to the book club at each meeting.
Pick the right book
Picking a book that not everybody is interested in can be a disaster for any book club. So you need to have a strategy for picking the book. Don’t be afraid to pick something controversial (有争议的). 39 .
Provide context
For each meeting, somebody should do some research on the book to set the scene. For example, you can do some reading on the historical context of the book. 40 . That way, even if a person doesn’t particularly enjoy the book, the person can still engage with it.
A.Make scheduling really easy
B.If you’re the one hosting the meeting.
C.Create a guide with discussion questions.
D.You can also listen to some interviews with the book’s author.
E.If you want to expand your knowledge about a particular thing.
F.It creates really great discussion because people like to do a little bit of debate.
G.You can figure out a date each month that works for the book club at the beginning.

A few weeks later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was 46 to find it not only didn’t wilt (枯萎), but appeared greener and more 47 , compared with the trees of his brothers.

Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed and stared up at the bright 49 outside the window. He just couldn’t fall asleep. Suddenly he 50 what the biology teacher once said — plants generally grow faster at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he 51 to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a ladle (长柄勺). All of a sudden, he understood: his father had been secretly 52 his small tree! He returned to his room, tears running down his face.
53 passed. The little boy didn’t turn botanist, but he became a lawyer. Love is the best 54 of life. Even if it is just one ladleful of clear water, it can make the tree flourish and even grow into a 55 one.

Li Na, a Chinese exchange student in the UK, felt a bit nervous when Mr. Smith asked each student to bring something that matters to them and share it with the class on Thursday. She sat in her seat quietly, thinking hard about what to bring. Suddenly, she remembered that the Lantern Festival happened to fall on next Friday. Her eyes lit up with excitement.
On Thursday, the classroom was filled with joy and laughter as students shared their beloved snacks and toys. When Li Na’s turn came, she rose, holding a wooden box. She opened it gently and took out a folded piece of red paper. With a few skillful folds and pulls, the paper magically turned into a beautiful lantern. She placed a candle inside and lit it carefully.
“What is it?” asked Emma, her deskmate. “It is amazing!”
Holding up the lantern, Li Na smiled and introduced the Lantern Festival — its traditions of hanging lanterns, guessing riddles (谜语), and eating sweet sticky rice balls called yuanxiao. “Red lanterns symbolize hope and reunion in Chinese culture,” she explained. “And this year, the festival happens to be on next Friday.”
Seeing how interested the students were, Mr. Smith walked over with a smile and said to Li Na, “Would you like to host a Lantern Festival party for the whole class next Friday night? I’m sure it will be a wonderful way to connect cultures.”
“I’d love to!” Li Na replied without hesitation.
Applause erupted in the classroom. But as she sat down, a little worry set in — how could she make the party really fun and unforgettable?

Hello everyone,
I firmly believe that learning English is still necessary, even with AI tools around.
First, huge amounts of information — news, tech, business information — are in English, which won’t change in the near future. Second, AI tools miss jokes, cultural meanings or subtle feelings. Have you tried translating a poem with an AI tool? It fails. Third, real communication is about emotions. No machine can truly replace laughing with a friend or comforting someone in their own language.
So let’s use AI as a tool, not a replacement. Keep learning English. It’s worth it.
Thanks for your listening!
【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生围绕 “AI 时代是否还有必要学习英语” 发表观点,明确立场并阐述理由。

Li Na quickly realized the key was to get everyone involved in the preparation. So she announced to the whole class that volunteers were needed. To her delight, all the students raised their hands eagerly, their faces shining with enthusiasm. Greatly relieved, Li Na divided the students into two groups. One was led by her to make lanterns and riddles, and the other was led by Emma to prepare the ingredients and tools for making yuanxiao. Everyone set to work immediately, and by Friday afternoon, everything was ready.
The party took place as scheduled in the classroom. Varied red lanterns were used to decorate the room, creating a festive atmosphere. Guided by Li Na, the students made yuanxiao together. Soon, steaming bowls of yuanxiao were served, and everyone loved their handmade treats. The highlight was the riddle-guessing activity, which filled the classroom with laughter and cheers. Bathed in warm lantern light, the students shared not just food and fun, but a deep sense of connection that made the night truly unforgettable.

附:听力原文:
1.
【原文】W: This drawer is overflowing again! I can’t even close it.
M: We really should put things where they belong after cooking.
W: Maybe we can sort out the bottles and plates.
M: Sure.
2.
【原文】W: Hello, this is the Language Learning Center. What can I do for you?
M: I’d like to learn basic Russian. Do you have some proper lessons for beginners?
W: Yeah, we have one every Sunday at 2 p.m.
M: Great!
3.
【原文】W: Excuse me, sir, these changing rooms are for people who attend tennis lessons. If you don’t have lessons now, please use the main changing room over there.
M: Okay, but how can I apply for a tennis course?
4.
【原文】M: I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have made that kind of comment about you. I feel terrible about it.
W: It’s all right. We all make mistakes. Let’s just move past this.
5.
【原文】M: We should go straight ahead. The store assistant sold me this map and she said it’s the latest one.
W: No, the waiter at that restaurant told me to take the small path on the left. It’s the shortest way to Sweetwater Town.
6.~7.
【原文】W: I’ve decided that focused work requires focused rest, and I work too hard to have focused rest periods after work.
M: Interesting. Do you think I should try this too?
W: Let me test it first. For now, I spend at least an hour after work on quiet time.
M: That sounds great. I rescheduled my late meetings and now organize the next day in the afternoon.
W: Good idea, since you spend most days writing and replying to emails. Scheduled rest could help you, too.
8.~9.
【原文】W: How are you feeling about the volleyball next week? Your team’s done brilliantly to get into the final!
M: Yeah. Everyone’s pretty convinced we’ll be bringing home the winners’ cup, so there’ll be loads more fans at the game than we’re used to.
W: So will there be any challenges?
M: Well, the team we’re playing against is a bit of an unknown quantity. We don’t really know what they’re capable of. I mean, if they happen to be on top form, as they were earlier in the tournament, we may struggle.
10.~12.
【原文】W: Guess what? I’ve decided to look for a part-time job!
M: Why? I thought you were focusing on your studies this term.
W: I really need some work experience, but my parents think it might affect my grades.
M: So, you want to find a job anyway?
W: Yeah, maybe in a café. It’s been on my mind for a while.
M: That’s definitely a bad idea! A part-time job will totally pull you away from your studies.
W: I’ll graduate next year and need to build my resume.
M: Resume building can wait till summer — study’s your top priority now.
13.~16.
【原文】W: Wow, it is really impressive! I can’t believe we finally made it here.
M: I know, right? We’ve been planning to come to the city library since spring, and now autumn is just around the corner.
W: The reading area on the second floor is so comfortable. I could stay there all day.
M: Definitely. I’m really glad our book club recommended this place.
W: True. The digital reading section on the third floor is fantastic. It’s easy to look up old magazines and newspapers there. Remember last time we went to the Western Library? We waited on the first floor for half an hour before we got the old print magazine we were looking for.
M: Me, too. And the glass walls of the building let in so much natural light.
W: Well, it’s still early and the weather is lovely. Shall we walk to the riverside park from here?
M: Sounds perfect. Let’s take the path. Oh, I left my bag at the reception desk in the library hall. I have to go back and get it.

【原文】 The water clock was an ancient clock. It could be used on cloudy days, at night and indoors. Such clocks were probably first used in Egypt in 2000 B.C. They were also used for many years in Arabia, India, China and all of Europe. The simplest water clock needed two parts: a small bowl and a large bowl. The small bowl had a tiny hole in the bottom. The large bowl was divided into equal parts and marked by lines. Water was poured into the small bowl and it fell slowly down into the large bowl in tiny drops. Usually it took an hour for the water to rise from one line to the next in the large bowl. A beautiful water clock was made in Persia over a thousand years ago. It was given as a present to the emperor of France. This water clock could be heard as well as seen. It contained twelve doors, each representing an hour. Every hour a door opened and the proper number of metal balls dropped into a tiny brass plate to strike the hour. At twelve o’clock, twelve tiny horsemen came out to shut all the doors. This was probably one of the first striking clocks.
