More than a third of adults are missing out on precious sleep time each week. Not sleeping enough can greatly impact your visual attention and memory, as well as your ability to learn. So what do we do to improve our sleep quality? First, everyone is different, so you need to learn how much sleep you actually need each night. Try keeping a sleep diary for this. As long as you feel refreshed and energized the next day, you’re good to go. Next, determine your body’s natural rhythm. Some people are natural early birds and others not so much. Find out when your body naturally wants to sleep, and don’t fight it! The last tip is crucial: stay consistent with your sleep schedule! Honestly, consistency is the best way of getting rest and feeling rested. You should also build regularity, like with mealtimes, in your daily schedule around your new-found sleep consistency for the best results. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Top recommendations for visiting Arusha Arusha, the capital city of the Arusha Region, is situated in Northeast Tanzania.

Draper, who grew up surrounded by cooking, didn’t consider a career in the food industry until she left her previous job to care for her mother and a newborn baby. During this period, she spent much time on cookbooks, Food Network shows, and food experiments, forming a deep connection with food that later shaped her professional path. When ready to re-enter the workforce, she set non-negotiable criteria for her new job: It’d have to involve food and people. Draper initially secured an office role at a corporate catering (餐饮) company near her home outside Philadelphia. However, when she stepped in to assist the kitchen during a period of operational pressure tied to workforce limitations, her boss recognized her potential and offered a permanent shift to culinary work. Starting with simple tasks like salad preparation, she quickly advanced to more complex dishes, fueled by a passion she describes as “a burning fire” once lit. Balancing work and learning, she signed up for culinary classes — an opportunity she’d previously thought unattainable — and rose to the position of general manager. Fifteen years into her role, Draper wondered if she should try a new career. Yet, no alternative satisfied her as deeply as cooking. A chance introduction to a family seeking a private chef opened a new chapter. Unaware of this special area in the food industry, she began planning meals, grocery shopping, and cooking in clients’ homes, uncovering a need for tailored culinary solutions among busy or uninterested cooks. Using her website Korea’s Kitchen, she expanded her client base, eventually moving from private homes to a church basement kitchen and specializing in family meals and catering. Driven to grow her business, Draper sought her own kitchen space, a goal achieved through networking. In her new venue, she hosts tastings, cooking classes, and catered events. Today, as a leader of an eight-person team, she remains rooted in her core mission: connecting people through food. 24. What do we know about Draper from paragraph 2? A. She considered food career early. B. She ignored her family needs. C. She had clear new job requirements. D. She lacked cooking experience. 25. Why did Draper go to help the kitchen while working in an office? A. She wanted extra income. B. A staff shortage occurred. C. Her boss demanded it. D. She sought promotion. 26. What made Draper feel the demand for personalized culinary services? A. Clients’ strict diets. B. A family’s request. C. Food industry trends. D. Her website feedback. 27. What can we learn from Draper’s career story? A. Education guarantees success. B. Family limits one’s career. C. One’s skills beat one’s planning. D. Passion drives new growth. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍厨师Korean Draper的职业生涯历程及其对烹饪的热爱与追求。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When ready to re-enter the workforce, she set non-negotiable criteria for her new job: It’d have to involve food and people.(当准备重新进入职场时，她为自己的新工作设定了不可协商的标准：必须涉及食物和人。)”可知，Draper对新工作有明确的要求。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, when she stepped in to assist the kitchen during a period of operational pressure tied to workforce limitations, her boss recognized her potential and offered a permanent shift to culinary work.(然而，在因劳动力短缺而面临运营压力期间，她介入厨房提供帮助，她的老板发现了她的潜力，并让她永久性地转向烹饪工作。)”可知，Draper在办公室工作时去厨房帮忙是因为出现了人员短缺的情况。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A chance introduction to a family seeking a private chef opened a new chapter. Unaware of this special area in the food industry, she began planning meals, grocery shopping, and cooking in clients’ homes, uncovering a need for tailored culinary solutions among busy or uninterested cooks.(一次偶然的机会，她认识了一个正在寻找私人厨师的家庭，这开启了一个新的篇章。她之前并不知道食品行业有这个特殊领域，于是开始在客户家中计划膳食、采购食品和烹饪，发现忙碌或对烹饪不感兴趣的人对个性化烹饪解决方案有需求。)”可知，一个家庭的需求让Draper意识到人们对个性化烹饪服务的需求。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Draper从接触烹饪到深耕该领域，凭借对烹饪的热情不断发展事业，从公司餐饮的普通工作到成为拥有自己厨房和团队的管理者，她的经历体现出热情推动新的成长。故选D项。 C Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the “Wood Wide Web”. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌). The key players in this hidden conversation are mycorrhizal fungi. These thread-like organisms connect tree roots, forming vast networks. Research from the University of British Columbia reveals that up to 90% of land plants depend on these fungi. Through this interdependent relationship, trees exchange nutrients like carbon and nitrogen. Older “mother trees” often act as hubs, sending extra sugars to younger saplings struggling in shaded areas — a phenomenon called “forest family connections”. When under attack, trees release chemical signals. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. Similarly, pine trees attacked by beetles send out warning signals through fungal networks, pushing neighbors to boost defensive resins (树脂). Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors — a strategy called “biological warfare” by ecologists. Understanding this “social network” challenges traditional views of forests. Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. Scientists now advocate for selective cutting practices that preserve fungal networks, ensuring forests’ resilience (适应力) to climate change. As author Peter Wohlleben notes in The Hidden Life of Trees, “Forests are super-organisms with intelligence we’re just beginning to decode.” This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word. 28. What method do acacia trees use to warn nearby trees of giraffe feeding? A. Producing defensive resins in bark. B. Transmitting electrical signals through roots. C. Releasing a warning gas into the air. D. Increasing sugar distribution via fungal networks. 29. What does “biological warfare” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Using chemicals to kill insects. B. Releasing poisons to contain competitors. C. Fighting for sunlight through height. D. Stealing nutrients via underground roots. 30. Why should mother trees be preserved according to scientists? A. They attract diverse wildlife species. B. They offer young trees nutrients. C. They battle against climate change. D. They maintain ecosystem stability. 31. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The defensive strategies of trees. B. The cooperative interaction between trees. C. The important role of mother trees. D. The hidden communication among trees. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了森林中被科学家称为“树木网络”的地下真菌网络系统。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. (2023年《自然•生态与进化》上的一项研究表明，被长颈鹿啃食的金合欢树会产生乙烯气体。附近的树木会在几分钟内从空气中接收到这些化学信号，并增加鞣酸的产生，使它们的叶子变得更苦且口感变差。)”可知，金合欢树是通过向空气中释放乙烯这种警告气体来提醒附近树木有长颈鹿在进食。故选C项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors (并非所有的互动都是合作性的。有些植物，比如幽灵兰花，会利用网络从附近的树木中窃取养分，却不给予任何回报。其他物种，如黑胡桃树，则会释放毒素来抑制竞争对手)”可推理出，biological warfare指的是释放毒素来抑制竞争对手。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. (砍伐占主导地位的母树可能会使整个生态系统崩溃，这就好比从互联网中移除服务器一样。)”可知，科学家认为应该保护母树是因为它们能维持生态系统的稳定。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the ‘Wood Wide Web’. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌). (在安静的森林表面下，隐藏着一个繁忙的网络，科学家称之为“森林万维网”。树木不是孤立的个体，而是通过真菌的地下系统交流、共享资源，甚至发出警告。)”和最后一段中的“This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word. (我们脚下的这种无声对话提醒我们，自然界最深刻的交流往往无需一言半语。)”可知，文章开篇就提到森林中存在被称为“树木网络”的地下真菌网络，树木通过它进行无声交流、共享资源。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是树木之间隐藏的交流。故选D项。 D The growing interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping a new way of thinking, known as System 0. This new cognitive framework exists outside the human mind and works as an external “thinking assistant”. System 0 works alongside the two established models of human thought: System 1, which is fast, intuitive (直觉的), and automatic, and System 2, which is slower, more analytical, and reflective. Just as an external drive allows us to store data that are not present on the computer and work anywhere by connecting to a PC, AI — with its powerful data-handling capabilities — functions as an external cognitive circuit that enhances human brain capacity. Hence the idea of System 0, which is essentially a form of “external” thinking that relies on the capabilities of AI. By managing enormous amounts of data, AI can process information and provide suggestions based on complex algorithms (算法). However, unlike intuitive or analytical thinking, System 0 can perform calculations, make predictions, and generate responses without truly “understanding” the content of the data it works with. The integration of System 0 into human cognition raises some concerns. One of the most pressing ones is the potential damage to our critical thinking and reasoning abilities. If we blindly trust the output of System 0 without questioning it, we risk losing our ability to think independently, leading to a weaker capacity for innovation and creativity. At the same time, it is important to acknowledge the potential benefits of System 0 in increasing our cognitive capabilities and addressing complex challenges that may be beyond the capacity of human intelligence alone. Despite the polarized visions on the topic of the evolution of AI, we recommend that this revolutionary system be the object of a deep, shared reflection on how we plan to integrate it into the future of human thought. To ensure that AI remains a tool to enhance — rather than decrease — our cognitive autonomy, clear boundaries must be established. 32. What is the main function of paragraph 1? A. To explain how AI impacts daily routines. B. To introduce a new cognitive framework. C. To compare three human thinking systems. D. To analyze AI’s role in decision-making processes. 33. Which statement captures the essence of System 0? A. It seeks profound meanings in data. B. It pioneers analytical thinking methods. C. It enhances human cognition externally. D. It makes intelligent decisions independently. 34. What is the author’s tone carried in paragraph 4? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Aggressive. D. Dismissive. 35. What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about? A. Moral dilemmas in human-AI integration. B. Potentially promising prospects of System 0. C. Technical challenges in sharpening System 0. D. Specific guidelines on using System 0 critically. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种新的认知框架——System 0，它是人类与人工智能互动中形成的外部“思考助手”，并探讨了其与人类已有的思维模式的关系、本质、带来的担忧与益处以及未来的整合方向。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The growing interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping a new way of thinking, known as System 0. This new cognitive framework exists outside the human mind and works as an external “thinking assistant”. (人类与人工智能（AI）日益增长的互动正在塑造一种新的思维方式，即System 0。这种新的认知框架存在于人类大脑之外，充当外部的“思考助手”。)”可知，第一段开篇就引出了System 0这一新的认知框架，并简要介绍了它的性质，核心是介绍这一新的认知框架。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Just as an external drive allows us to store data that are not present on the computer and work anywhere by connecting to a PC, AI — with its powerful data-handling capabilities — functions as an external cognitive circuit that enhances human brain capacity. (就像外部硬盘能够让我们存储电脑中没有的数据，并且通过连接电脑可以在任何地方工作一样，人工智能凭借其强大的数据处理能力，充当着一种外部认知回路，能够增强人类的大脑容量。)”可知，System 0的本质是从外部增强人类的认知能力。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One of the most pressing ones is the potential damage to our critical thinking and reasoning abilities. If we blindly trust the output of System 0 without questioning it, we risk losing our ability to think independently, leading to a weaker capacity for innovation and creativity. At the same time, it is important to acknowledge the potential benefits of System 0 in increasing our cognitive capabilities and addressing complex challenges that may be beyond the capacity of human intelligence alone. (其中最紧迫的问题之一是它可能会损害我们的批判性思维和推理能力。如果我们盲目信任System 0的输出而不加以质疑，我们就可能失去独立思考的能力，进而导致创新和创造能力的减弱。与此同时，我们也必须承认System 0的潜在益处——它能够提升我们的认知能力，并帮助应对那些仅靠人类智力或许难以解决的复杂挑战。)”可知，作者既提到了System 0带来的担忧，也指出了它的潜在益处，态度是客观的。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To ensure that AI remains a tool to enhance — rather than decrease — our cognitive autonomy, clear boundaries must be established. (为确保人工智能始终是增强而非降低我们认知自主性的工具，必须建立明确的界限。)”可知，接下来很可能会讨论关于如何批判性地使用System 0的具体指导方针，以建立这种明确的界限。故选D项。 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。 There is a growing trend in medicine: doctors are prescribing time in nature to their patients to address a wide variety of physical and mental health concerns. These “nature prescriptions (处方)” aren’t just feel-good recommendations. ____36____ Scott Kaiser, MD, a director of geriatric cognitive health at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute, is one of these doctors. “Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging and overall well-being,” he explains. “There are several factors in healthy aging—diet, exercise, mindfulness, community, creativity and a sense of purpose. ____37____ I can’t overstate how powerful nature can be as a healer.” Here are some common ways of natural healing. “Sensory walks” are an easy way to get started. Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on all five senses, paying attention to what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. “Leave your gadgets at home,” he adds, “so you can be undistracted and really experience it all.” Another prescription gaining popularity is cold therapy. ____38____ Immerse yourself in water that feels uncomfortably cold and stay there for 30 seconds to a minute. Most people start with water that’s about 10℃ to 15℃, though some go colder as their tolerance increases. ____39____ Try simply walking for 15 minutes in the early morning. Sunlight exposure boosts vitamin D, crucial for overall health. And getting early morning sunlight in your eyes will help refresh you. Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking or swimming. And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on a park bench can help, as it may improve your immune system and lower the risk of cancer. ____40____ Nature prescriptions can also lower stress, depression and anxiety while improving cognitive function. A. The benefits extend beyond physical health. B. But doctors suggest that it requires gradual adaptation. C. This practice involves exposing yourself to cold water. D.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。医学中自然处方成趋势，有科学依据，能应对多种健康问题，文章主要介绍了感官散步、冷疗等方式，益处远超生理健康。 【36题详解】 根据前文“These “nature prescriptions (处方)” aren’t just feel-good recommendations.( 这些“自然处方”不仅仅是让人感觉良好的建议。)”F选项“Instead, they’re evidence - based interventions backed by science.”（相反，它们是有科学依据的循证干预措施）与前文形成对比转折关系，进一步说明自然处方是有科学依据的，符合语境。故选F项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“There are several factors in healthy aging—diet, exercise, mindfulness, community, creativity and a sense of purpose.( 健康老龄化有几个因素 —— 饮食、运动、正念、归属感、创造力和目标感。)”提到健康老龄化有几个因素，G选项“Being outdoors can provide access to all of these at the same time.( 在户外可以同时获得所有这些。)”这里的“all of these”指代前面提到的健康老龄化的几个因素，说明户外对健康老龄化的作用，符合语境。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Another prescription gaining popularity is cold therapy.( 另一种越来越受欢迎的处方是冷疗法。)”提到冷疗法。C选项“This practice involves exposing yourself to cold water.( 这种做法包括让自己暴露在冷水中。)”“This practice”指代冷疗法，具体说明了冷疗法是让自己接触冷水，符合语境。故选C项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“Most people start with water that’s about 10℃ to 15℃, though some go colder as their tolerance increases.( 大多数人从10到15摄氏度的水开始，尽管有些人随着耐受性的增加而变得更冷。)”介绍了冷疗法这种相对较强烈的方式，后面提到“Try simply walking for 15 minutes in the early morning.( 试试在清晨简单地步行 15 分钟。)”这是比较温和的方式，E 选项“If that sounds too intense, nature offers gentler alternatives, too.( 如果那听起来太强烈了，大自然也提供了更温和的选择。)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Nature prescriptions can also lower stress, depression and anxiety while improving cognitive function.( 自然处方还可以减轻压力、抑郁和焦虑，同时提高认知功能。)”这是在说自然处方对心理健康方面的好处，A 选项“The benefits extend beyond physical health.( 好处不仅仅局限于身体健康。)”说明自然处方的好处不仅在身体方面，还延伸到心理等其他方面，符合语境。故选A项。 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。 My father’s thrift (节俭) philosophy shaped my youth.

Kwan waved, and Mrs. Gibbs walked over to him and his grandmother. “It’s very nice to see you,” Mrs. Gibbs said. Then she saw the cloths wrapped around the groceries Kwan and his grandmother were loading into their car. “Oh, how beautiful!” she exclaimed. “Thank you. These are our hometown wrapping cloths,” grandmother explained. “Kwan and I embroidered (刺绣) them together.” Kwan looked away. Although he enjoyed helping grandmother make the cloths, he didn’t want anyone at school to know about it. “Kwan, you should bring your cloths to school tomorrow. Your classmates would enjoy seeing them. You have a unique skill,” Mrs. Gibbs said. Kwan appreciated his teacher’s comments, but he was hesitant. The kids might laugh at the idea of a boy who liked to stitch (缝) patterns with a needle and thread. He thought about his grandmother’s wide smile that showed how proud of him she would be for sharing this custom. “O.K. I’ll bring some to class tomorrow,” Kwan replied quietly. Grandma sensed that something was wrong. “Kwan, are you worried about tomorrow?” she asked. Kwan stared at the floor. “What are the other kids going to think?” he said. “This isn’t the kind of thing they do for fun. Creating embroidered patterns isn’t like playing an instrument or a sport.” “You’re right,” Grandma said. “It is different. But that is why it is so special.” Then she brought out a fine cloth with different designs. “When your grandfather and I were married, we received a gift from his mother wrapped in this cloth she made. In our culture, gifts given in wrapping cloths are extra special because they are a symbol of love and good luck.” she explained. 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。 The next morning Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed that his forehead no longer felt hot. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: The next morning, Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school. During art class, his heart raced, knowing Mrs. Gibbs would eventually call on him. Just as he hoped time might run out, he heard his name. Kwan walked to the front, his face flushed. Taking a deep breath, he carefully unfolded the cloths, and the vibrant patterns immediately caught everyone’s attention. Encouraged by their interest, Kwan began to explain the cultural meaning behind the patterns. For a moment, there was silence, but instead of teasing, curious hands shot into the air. “This must have taken forever to make!” one student exclaimed. Another added, “You`ve got serious talent, Kwan.” Paragraph 2: As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed his forehead no longer felt hot. His initial unease had vanished as their sincere compliments reached him. They even asked him to teach them embroidery. The class soon turned into a workshop with Kwan guiding them how to stitch. Some wanted to use the special cloth to carry their lunch, but soon realized they needed practice if they didn’t want their sandwiches ending up on the sidewalk. “Folding these cloths is another talent,” Mrs. Gibbs laughed as her own cloth came undone. Embracing the moment, Kwan realized that sharing his craft wasn`t something to be embarrassed about — it was a way to connect with others and to share a meaningful part of his culture. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要围绕Kwan的秘密才艺——刺绣展开，通过Kwan与祖母、美术老师Gibbs夫人以及同学们的互动，展现了一个关于勇气、文化自信和友谊的故事。文章描述了Kwan对刺绣技能感到羞怯，通过课堂展示，克服了最初的疑虑，在同学们的认可中感到自豪和自信，展现了文化自信和传统技艺的价值。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，Kwan带了几块包裹布到学校。”以及第二段首句内容“随着Kwan听着同学们的话，他注意到自己的额头不再发烫。”可知，第一段可描写Kwan非常害羞地拿出了包裹布，使他大为惊讶的是，同学们都对他的才艺大为赞赏。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着Kwan听着同学们的话，他注意到自己的额头不再发烫。”可知，第二段可描写Kwan的不安逐渐消失，同学们也开始向他求教，Kwan很开心自己可以分享自己的文化。 2. 续写线索：Kwan带了几块包裹布到学校——担心同学的嘲笑——同学们对他的才艺大为赞叹——Kwan的不安逐渐消失——同学们开始向他求教——Kwan开始教同学们如何缝制——Kwan终于意识到能够分享自己的文化非常有意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①希望：hope/wish ②取笑：tease/make fun of ③使用：use/make use of/employ 情绪类 ①好奇的：curious/inquisitive ②真诚的：sincere/ genuine 【点睛】【高分句型1】His initial unease had vanished as their sincere compliments reached him.

Draper, who grew up surrounded by cooking, didn’t consider a career in the food industry until she left her previous job to care for her mother and a newborn baby. During this period, she spent much time on cookbooks, Food Network shows, and food experiments, forming a deep connection with food that later shaped her professional path. When ready to re-enter the workforce, she set non-negotiable criteria for her new job: It’d have to involve food and people. Draper initially secured an office role at a corporate catering (餐饮) company near her home outside Philadelphia. However, when she stepped in to assist the kitchen during a period of operational pressure tied to workforce limitations, her boss recognized her potential and offered a permanent shift to culinary work. Starting with simple tasks like salad preparation, she quickly advanced to more complex dishes, fueled by a passion she describes as “a burning fire” once lit. Balancing work and learning, she signed up for culinary classes — an opportunity she’d previously thought unattainable — and rose to the position of general manager. Fifteen years into her role, Draper wondered if she should try a new career. Yet, no alternative satisfied her as deeply as cooking. A chance introduction to a family seeking a private chef opened a new chapter. Unaware of this special area in the food industry, she began planning meals, grocery shopping, and cooking in clients’ homes, uncovering a need for tailored culinary solutions among busy or uninterested cooks. Using her website Korea’s Kitchen, she expanded her client base, eventually moving from private homes to a church basement kitchen and specializing in family meals and catering. Driven to grow her business, Draper sought her own kitchen space, a goal achieved through networking. In her new venue, she hosts tastings, cooking classes, and catered events. Today, as a leader of an eight-person team, she remains rooted in her core mission: connecting people through food. 24. What do we know about Draper from paragraph 2? A. She considered food career early. B. She ignored her family needs. C. She had clear new job requirements. D. She lacked cooking experience. 25. Why did Draper go to help the kitchen while working in an office? A. She wanted extra income. B. A staff shortage occurred. C. Her boss demanded it. D. She sought promotion. 26. What made Draper feel the demand for personalized culinary services? A. Clients’ strict diets. B. A family’s request. C. Food industry trends. D. Her website feedback. 27. What can we learn from Draper’s career story? A. Education guarantees success. B. Family limits one’s career. C. One’s skills beat one’s planning. D. Passion drives new growth. C Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the “Wood Wide Web”. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌). The key players in this hidden conversation are mycorrhizal fungi. These thread-like organisms connect tree roots, forming vast networks. Research from the University of British Columbia reveals that up to 90% of land plants depend on these fungi. Through this interdependent relationship, trees exchange nutrients like carbon and nitrogen. Older “mother trees” often act as hubs, sending extra sugars to younger saplings struggling in shaded areas — a phenomenon called “forest family connections”. When under attack, trees release chemical signals. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. Similarly, pine trees attacked by beetles send out warning signals through fungal networks, pushing neighbors to boost defensive resins (树脂). Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors — a strategy called “biological warfare” by ecologists. Understanding this “social network” challenges traditional views of forests. Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. Scientists now advocate for selective cutting practices that preserve fungal networks, ensuring forests’ resilience (适应力) to climate change. As author Peter Wohlleben notes in The Hidden Life of Trees, “Forests are super-organisms with intelligence we’re just beginning to decode.” This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word. 28. What method do acacia trees use to warn nearby trees of giraffe feeding? A. Producing defensive resins in bark. B. Transmitting electrical signals through roots. C. Releasing a warning gas into the air. D. Increasing sugar distribution via fungal networks. 29. What does “biological warfare” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Using chemicals to kill insects. B. Releasing poisons to contain competitors. C. Fighting for sunlight through height. D. Stealing nutrients via underground roots. 30. Why should mother trees be preserved according to scientists? A. They attract diverse wildlife species. B. They offer young trees nutrients. C. They battle against climate change. D. They maintain ecosystem stability. 31. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The defensive strategies of trees. B. The cooperative interaction between trees. C. The important role of mother trees. D. The hidden communication among trees. D The growing interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping a new way of thinking, known as System 0. This new cognitive framework exists outside the human mind and works as an external “thinking assistant”. System 0 works alongside the two established models of human thought: System 1, which is fast, intuitive (直觉的), and automatic, and System 2, which is slower, more analytical, and reflective. Just as an external drive allows us to store data that are not present on the computer and work anywhere by connecting to a PC, AI — with its powerful data-handling capabilities — functions as an external cognitive circuit that enhances human brain capacity. Hence the idea of System 0, which is essentially a form of “external” thinking that relies on the capabilities of AI. By managing enormous amounts of data, AI can process information and provide suggestions based on complex algorithms (算法). However, unlike intuitive or analytical thinking, System 0 can perform calculations, make predictions, and generate responses without truly “understanding” the content of the data it works with. The integration of System 0 into human cognition raises some concerns. One of the most pressing ones is the potential damage to our critical thinking and reasoning abilities. If we blindly trust the output of System 0 without questioning it, we risk losing our ability to think independently, leading to a weaker capacity for innovation and creativity. At the same time, it is important to acknowledge the potential benefits of System 0 in increasing our cognitive capabilities and addressing complex challenges that may be beyond the capacity of human intelligence alone. Despite the polarized visions on the topic of the evolution of AI, we recommend that this revolutionary system be the object of a deep, shared reflection on how we plan to integrate it into the future of human thought. To ensure that AI remains a tool to enhance — rather than decrease — our cognitive autonomy, clear boundaries must be established. 32. What is the main function of paragraph 1? A. To explain how AI impacts daily routines. B. To introduce a new cognitive framework. C. To compare three human thinking systems. D. To analyze AI’s role in decision-making processes. 33. Which statement captures the essence of System 0? A. It seeks profound meanings in data. B. It pioneers analytical thinking methods. C. It enhances human cognition externally. D. It makes intelligent decisions independently. 34. What is the author’s tone carried in paragraph 4? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Aggressive. D. Dismissive. 35. What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about? A. Moral dilemmas in human-AI integration. B. Potentially promising prospects of System 0. C. Technical challenges in sharpening System 0. D. Specific guidelines on using System 0 critically. 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。 There is a growing trend in medicine: doctors are prescribing time in nature to their patients to address a wide variety of physical and mental health concerns. These “nature prescriptions (处方)” aren’t just feel-good recommendations. ____36____ Scott Kaiser, MD, a director of geriatric cognitive health at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute, is one of these doctors. “Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging and overall well-being,” he explains. “There are several factors in healthy aging—diet, exercise, mindfulness, community, creativity and a sense of purpose. ____37____ I can’t overstate how powerful nature can be as a healer.” Here are some common ways of natural healing. “Sensory walks” are an easy way to get started. Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on all five senses, paying attention to what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. “Leave your gadgets at home,” he adds, “so you can be undistracted and really experience it all.” Another prescription gaining popularity is cold therapy. ____38____ Immerse yourself in water that feels uncomfortably cold and stay there for 30 seconds to a minute. Most people start with water that’s about 10℃ to 15℃, though some go colder as their tolerance increases. ____39____ Try simply walking for 15 minutes in the early morning. Sunlight exposure boosts vitamin D, crucial for overall health. And getting early morning sunlight in your eyes will help refresh you. Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking or swimming. And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on a park bench can help, as it may improve your immune system and lower the risk of cancer. ____40____ Nature prescriptions can also lower stress, depression and anxiety while improving cognitive function. A. The benefits extend beyond physical health. B. But doctors suggest that it requires gradual adaptation. C. This practice involves exposing yourself to cold water. D. You’ll immediately be happier, healthier and more productive. E. If that sounds too intense, nature offers gentler alternatives, too. F. Instead, they’re evidence-based interventions backed by science. G. Being outdoors can provide access to all of these at the same time. 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。 My father’s thrift (节俭) philosophy shaped my youth.

Kwan waved, and Mrs. Gibbs walked over to him and his grandmother. “It’s very nice to see you,” Mrs. Gibbs said. Then she saw the cloths wrapped around the groceries Kwan and his grandmother were loading into their car. “Oh, how beautiful!” she exclaimed. “Thank you. These are our hometown wrapping cloths,” grandmother explained. “Kwan and I embroidered (刺绣) them together.” Kwan looked away. Although he enjoyed helping grandmother make the cloths, he didn’t want anyone at school to know about it. “Kwan, you should bring your cloths to school tomorrow. Your classmates would enjoy seeing them. You have a unique skill,” Mrs. Gibbs said. Kwan appreciated his teacher’s comments, but he was hesitant. The kids might laugh at the idea of a boy who liked to stitch (缝) patterns with a needle and thread. He thought about his grandmother’s wide smile that showed how proud of him she would be for sharing this custom. “O.K. I’ll bring some to class tomorrow,” Kwan replied quietly. Grandma sensed that something was wrong. “Kwan, are you worried about tomorrow?” she asked. Kwan stared at the floor. “What are the other kids going to think?” he said. “This isn’t the kind of thing they do for fun. Creating embroidered patterns isn’t like playing an instrument or a sport.” “You’re right,” Grandma said. “It is different. But that is why it is so special.” Then she brought out a fine cloth with different designs. “When your grandfather and I were married, we received a gift from his mother wrapped in this cloth she made. In our culture, gifts given in wrapping cloths are extra special because they are a symbol of love and good luck.” she explained. 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。 The next morning Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed that his forehead no longer felt hot. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $是英语科目听力部分。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。My mom called just now, saying he would move in at the end of the week.
