Standing outside the dining hall during Family Weekend, my dad looked at the breathtaking sunset and sighed, “Man, I could have gone to Stanford if I’d been born in the US.”
I laughed, unsure how to respond. At Stanford, seniors talked about “impostor syndrome” (冒名者综合征) — the feeling of not deserving success. I never felt it when comparing myself to peers, but standing with my dad, I finally understood. I was comparing myself to an imagined father — one who could have seized every opportunity here.
My dad grew up in Guatemala. His mother died when he was eight, and his father was in the US. He raised eight siblings (手足), worked hard, and earned an engineering scholarship. I am an English major. When I first told him, he joked, “But you already speak English. I should take those classes.”
A line in Shakespeare’s Hamlet came to me: “So excellent a king, that was to this, Hyperion to a satyr.” Hamlet compares his noble father to Hyperion, the god of the sun, and his evil uncle to a satyr, a half-man, half-goat creature. Underneath that sunset, I felt exactly like the satyr standing next to Hyperion. Even with orange rays landing on my skin, I felt small next to him. I thought, “If he achieved so much with so little, I have to do twice as much.” But then he turned to me and said simply, “I’m glad you’re here.”
First-generation kids of immigrants feel the weight of their family’s past. For a second, I worried that I was letting my dad down. I felt both the need to match his life, enduring his hardships, and the guilt that his circumstances held him back. But I realized my being here at Stanford was that “more”. My dad loves his life, never comparing it with anyone else’s. His enjoying the idea of being a student here doesn’t mean I must chase what he could have done. I do plenty on my own, and I’ve got to be as proud as he is. If all a boy wants is his father, all a father wants is his son’s happiness. So excellent a king he is, my dad. I will be excellent in my own way.
24. When did the author experience the “impostor syndrome”?
A. When he competed with his fellow students.
B. When he thought about his father’s childhood.
C. When he compared himself with an imagined father.
D. When he recalled his identity as a first-generation immigrant.
25. What can be inferred about the author’s father from the text?
A. He was raised by his parents in the United States.
B. He became an engineer after getting a scholarship.
C. He blamed his circumstances for his life’s limitations.
D. He showed strength and responsibility while growing up.
26. Why does the author quote the line from Hamlet in paragraph 4?
A. To demonstrate admiration for Shakespeare’s works.
B. To indicate the huge gap between him and his father.
C. To prove that he considered himself as ugly as the satyr.
D. To explain why he chose English as his major.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. My King and My Way B. The Need to Match
C. The Weight of Family’s Past D. Following His Unrealized Dream
C
A study conducted in Austria has revealed that listening to music you dislike might actually increase your desire for sugary foods, even when your overall appetite drops.
The findings, published in Appetite, suggest that disliked music triggers a form of compensatory (补偿的) eating — a psychological mechanism where the brain seeks high-reward comfort foods to reduce negative emotions.
The research team, led by Jonas Potthoff and Anne Schienle, divided 106 participants into three groups: one listened to self-selected liked music, another listened to disliked music, and a third experienced silence. Before and after the listening session, participants rated their general desire to eat and their emotional state. They were then presented with a buffet table displaying three high-sugar items, three low-sugar options, and three non-food objects. Using an eye tracker, the researchers recorded visual attention before allowing participants to eat freely.
The results were striking. After listening to disliked music, participants reported a lower general desire to eat —yet nearly 62% of them chose high-sugar sweets. In contrast, only 24% of those who listened to liked music favored sugary treats, with the majority preferring fruits. The no-music group fell in between, at 38%.
Interestingly, the disliked music did not significantly change visual attention toward food. Participants looked at food items longer than non-food items regardless of the musical condition, suggesting that the preference for sugar was driven by mood regulation rather than visual fixation. Because the unpleasant music undermined their emotional state, their brains in turn reached for comfort food rich in sugar as a coping mechanism — a classic example of emotional eating.
The authors concluded that music can influence food-related decision-making independently of attentional processes. While liked music may encourage healthier choices, disliked music increases the tendency to choose high-sugar foods even when the general appetite is depressed. These findings highlight music’s potential as a subtle (微妙的), non-caloric influence for promoting low-sugar eating behavior.
28. Why do people prefer sugary food after hearing unpleasant music?
A. Sugary food can help relieve bad feelings.
B. Bad music makes people pay visual attention to sweets.
C. People’s appetite rises sharply in negative moods.
D. Sweet food helps people forget the bad music quickly.
29. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. They surveyed people’s music preferences.
B. They compared subjects’ food choices in different groups.
C. They analyzed different causes of bad moods.
D. They recorded people’s brain activity after eating.
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “undermined” in paragraph 5?
A. Maintained. B. Restored. C. Lifted. D. Worsened.
31. What can we infer about the effect of music from the text?
A. Pleasant music may help people pick healthier food
B. A music-free environment leads to the lowest sugar intake.
C. Bad music can totally make people lose interest in food.
D. Your visual preference for food is determined by music.
D
ByteDance’s AI chatbot Doubao has long been free to use, but recent online news of a paid subscription plan has sparked widespread debate. Although the company has said the plan is still being tested, the possibility of paid features has already set off strong reactions from users, revealing both concern and cautious acceptance.
Pricing is at the center of the debate. Many users who are used to free AI services argue that the proposed fees are relatively high, especially when alternative tools are still available for free. Some even say they would switch platforms if the paid features fail to offer clear advantages. Others, however, take a more practical view, noting that such technology, especially one that requires intensive computing resources, cannot remain free indefinitely. The proposed paid zones are expected to offer faster responses and more advanced features, mainly targeting professionals and frequent users. For these users, who often need greater efficiency and more polished outputs, paying for enhanced services may be justified, as it could significantly improve productivity. For casual users, however, who mainly rely on basic functions, the appeal of paid upgrades remains uncertain.
This split (分歧) in user attitudes points to a wider challenge facing the AI industry: how to balance accessibility with profitability. Professor Huang Zhuo, Vice Dean of Peking University’s National Development Research Institute and an expert in digital economy, stated, “AI’s high computing costs make free-only models unsustainable; however, platforms must keep basic services affordable to maintain broad user access.” Free services can help platforms attract large user bases, but long-term sustainability requires income streams that can cover rising costs and support continued innovation.
Ultimately, Doubao’s attempt to introduce paid features comes during rapid industry expansion and raises a key question: can AI platforms make profits effectively without letting down users who have grown accustomed to free access? The answer remains unclear, but it may help shape the future direction of AI services.
32. Why are some users willing to accept the paid subscription plan?
A. They think the fees are affordable.
B. Paid services can meet their demands.
C. They have no alternative platforms.
D. Advanced AI functions help them make profits.
33. Which policy would Professor Huang favor?
A. Charging high fees to cover operating costs.
B. Replacing free services with profitable ones.
C. Offering different options to different users.
D. Providing advanced functions for free.
34. What is the universal challenge the AI industry faces?
A. How to balance users’ loyalty and profits.
B. How to upgrade their services with limited cost.
C. How to promote their new functions to casual users.
D. How to expand market share with innovations.
35. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A sci-fi novel. B. A travel magazine. C. A news report. D. A history textbook.

How to Manage Your Cellular Balance (手机流量余额) on Vacation
Packing for a vacation involves a lot of preparations. You double-check your flight times, confirm the hotel reservations, and make sure you have packed enough sunscreen. 36 . When you are traveling, it is incredibly easy to burn through your cellular balance. Here are some effective ways to stretch your mobile balance while traveling.
● 37
The absolute easiest way to stretch your mobile balance is to stop relying on cellular towers whenever possible. Most hotels, airports and coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi. You should treat these hotspots as your primary sources while you are away from home. Just remember to be smart about public networks.
● Download your essentials before you leave
Navigation apps are essential when exploring an unfamiliar city, but keeping a live GPS map running for a long trip will absolutely consume your cellular data. 38 . Therefore, while you are at home, download the offline map for your destination and shows you want to watch directly.
● Shut down background data consumers
You might think you are conserving your battery simply by keeping your phone in the pocket, but your device is likely working behind your back. Your photo gallery might be automatically backing up your pictures to the cloud. Your social media apps might be updating your feed (推送). So before heading to the airport, set updates and cloud backups to Wi-Fi only. 39 .
● Use airplane mode strategically
Airplane mode is not just for flying. 40 . If you just want to use your phone as a camera, flip it into airplane mode. You can still turn your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth back on in airplane mode. This trick allows you to connect to a cafe network or listen to your wireless earbuds without accidentally turning your cellular data back on.
A. Let Wi-Fi do the heavy lifting
B. Access public networks with caution
C. It is a requirement for all the passengers on board
D. Besides, turn off background app refresh completely
E. It is actually a fantastic tool for managing your cellular balance
F. The same goes for streaming music or movies during a long ride
G. But one detail that often gets overlooked is your mobile connection

You have to move slowly at that altitude, and even doing 47 things leaves you out of breath. We spent a good amount of time with pounding (剧烈的) headaches. You also need to stay aware and open to your surroundings to find locations and 48 that will help you best tell the story.”

My first year of high school was rather awkward. Having graduated at the top of my junior high class, I found it tough to adapt to the new environment. The new school was much larger, and all my close friends had gone to other schools, leaving me lonely and depressed. I often missed my former teachers, who advised me to take part in school activities to make new friends and settle in gradually.
Just when things began to improve, tragedy hit my family on a cold windy afternoon. While I was doing homework with my pet cat beside me and my mother tending the fireplace, thick smoke poured down from the ceiling, and the roof quickly caught fire. We fled immediately. Worried about photos and letters left by my late father, my mother rushed back into the burning house twice to save precious belongings. She was pulled out by firefighters safely, suffering only from slight smoke inhalation (吸入).
After five hours of efforts, the fire was put out, but our house was totally destroyed. To my great sorrow, my beloved cat went missing. Devastated (击垮) by the heavy losses, I cried sadly. That night, we had to move to my grandparents’ house, with nothing but the clothes on our bodies and blankets offered by firefighters.
On the following Monday, I went to school in borrowed clothes and shoes. All my school supplies were burned up. Overwhelmed by embarrassment and grief, I felt totally insecure and withdrew from everyone. Before long, the whole school learned about my terrible experience.
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。
When I was sitting silently in my classroom, a group of classmates came up to me.
However, I still felt upset about my missing cat.

Exploring Karst Landforms
Last Friday, our school organized a field trip to the Stone Forest, aiming to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world scenery and deepen our understanding of geological science.
Upon arriving at the scenic spot, we were offered a professional lecture. The guide vividly illustrated the formation of karst landforms and introduced unique caves and stone peaks. Besides, we observed the landscapes carefully, took notes and consulted the guide actively to solve our puzzles in geography study.
The tour turned abstract knowledge into vivid experience, leaving me amazed by the wonders of nature. Furthermore, it motivated us to observe nature attentively and explore scientific knowledge with greater enthusiasm.

【参考范文】
When I was sitting silently in my classroom, a group of classmates came up to me. Instead of surrounding me with sympathetic questions that might hurt my feelings, they greeted me with gentle, reassuring smiles. One of my classmates softly comforted me that hardship never lasted, and the whole class would stand by me. To help me get back on track, they generously shared their stationery, textbooks and notes they had carefully sorted out. Their consideration and kindness eased my sorrow and embarrassment, warming my lonely heart in the coldest days.
However, I still felt upset about my missing cat. Seeing my low spirits, my classmates offered to help look for it. After scanning every corner of the neighborhood together, we finally found my lost cat, scared but unharmed. When I held the little fluffy cat in my arms again, I was overcome with emotion and tears streamed down my face. Gradually, I stepped out of despair and loneliness, actively adapting to high school life. It was my new classmates’ selflessness and kindness that pulled me through the darkest time and made me feel at home in the new school.

W: Hey, John. What are you doing this Saturday morning?
M: I’ll be volunteering at the Community Fridge project.
W: Community Fridge? What’s that about?
M: It’s a local project. There’s a large fridge at the community center where we store the food. We collect leftover but still good food from nearby supermarkets and bakeries, and give it away for free. Many families can cut daily grocery costs with the free food. The goal is to reduce food waste and help those in need. (11)
W: Sounds meaningful. Do volunteers need any professional training before taking part? (12)
M: Not at all. (12) I just sort donations and greet people — being friendly is what matters.
W: So it’s more about community connection than just handing out food.
M: Exactly. A lot of people don’t just come for the food — they come for the conversation. For me, that’s what really matters. (13)

W: Today with me is Steve Tanner, co-founder and technical expert of Ecorobotix, a Swiss agricultural technology company. Steve, thank you for joining us.
M: Thank you for having me.
W: So, what first got you interested in smart farming?
M: Well, I grew up on a farm in rural Switzerland. As a young man, I often helped my parents weed fields by hand. But that’s not what inspired me. What really got me thinking was seeing how traditional farming spread chemicals across entire fields — covering bare soil and healthy crops along with the weeds. The environmental damage was the real motivation. (14)
W: So you didn’t start the company alone?
M: No. I met Aurélien Demaurex at an environmental conservation gathering. He studied management and had years of experience in finance. (15) But he shared the same environmental concerns. So in 2014, we co-founded Ecorobotix.
W: And now you have the device named ARA. How does it actually work?
M: The ARA is equipped with six advanced cameras that scan the ground in real time. Our special AI system analyzes every part to distinguish crops from weeds. When a weed is spotted, the system turns on its weeding equipment to kill the exact plant. (16)
W: That’s remarkable. And what about the environmental impact?
M: It’s huge. This practice reduces pesticide use by up to 95 percent compared to the traditional method. (17) That means fewer chemicals in the soil and groundwater, healthier ecosystems, and lower costs for farmers.

Welcome back to Cultural China. Today, let’s look at an old Chinese tea art — dian cha. Dian cha started in the Song Dynasty. Its process is simple but delicate. First, pour hot water onto powdered tea and mix it into a paste. Then add more hot water and stir it quickly by hand with a bamboo tool until foam appears. In 2019, dian cha was listed as an intangible cultural heritage in Runzhou District, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. (18) A Shanghai designer named Han Zheming is trying to bring this art back. He says the foam is like paper, and the tea paste is like ink. But drawing is hard because the foam is soft. Han says it takes about one year of practice to do it well. After he graduated from the China Academy of Art in Zhejiang Province in 2006, Han applied what he had learned in college to reviving the art form. (19) To spread dian cha culture, Han shares his tea art on Bilibili and Douyin, and now has over 20,000 followers. His goal is not to change the taste of tea, but to make tea drinking more fun and beautiful. (20)
