Well, this is actually the first time that I have ever taught in an elementary classroom, but i'm a bit stuck right now. You know, the topic I want them to research is a bit hard for pupils. I'm afraid that they won't be able to handle IT on their own. So I need new ideas on designing more effective teaching methods. mr. Carter, do you have any suggestions? Well, you should probably read this book written by J. K. Simons. He is a professor who just transferred here last semester, but he is popular among students for his creative teaching methods. There is an extensive range of learning approaches mentioned in the book, including approaches for team research, which might be helpful to you. You mean dividing the students into groups to do research? I've never thought of this before. How does IT work? Professor Simons has already demonstrated how efficient this approach can be. Basically, IT aims to increase CoOperation between students and help them develop their own voice and perspective. I'll check out the book as soon as possible.

I had no idea what I wanted to do until I was about fourteen. When I was listening to a family conversation, my cousin was talking to my dad and telling him all about how much he enjoyed her work. SHE was a nurse in a busy hospital, and I thought, yeah, that's what i'd like to do when I told my teachers, that's what I decided. They were very encouraging. But they did say that although I had always got good Marks in english and biology, i'd have to get a little Better at math or I wouldn't be able to do the job well, I must say IT wasn't easy being a student nurse.

The boat ride from Helsinki’s city center to the island of Pihlajasaari takes only 10 minutes and drops off visitors at beaches for sunbathing. But I had a different mission: to speak to a tree.
This was meant to be a healing exercise, one championed by the Finnish biologist Adela Pajunen. Finns, she’d told me, sometimes share their worries aloud to trees or birds. On shore, I spotted a short black alder tree and began to tell the tree my troubles. The leaves rustled (沙沙作响) in response, a sign I interpreted as sympathy.
I had come to Finland to see whether I could bring happiness back to America with me. Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for the past eight years, largely due to free education and universal health care. And the Finns also find happiness in more attainable ways, such as their close relationship with nature and visiting the sauna (桑拿) daily. These activities contain similar goals: Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth.
I followed their lifestyle — visiting the sauna and taking a relaxing forest walk, and happiness came in waves over the next few days. I was optimistic that I could recreate the happiest moments of this trip back home in New York. How hard could it be, really?
As it turned out, happiness was a luxury in America, though I tried hard to live exactly like the Finns. Then one afternoon, I had a breakthrough as I rushed through Central Park and noticed a crowd of people staring at the ground. A cardinal! I stopped to admire the bird’s feather before it flew away. This was a win for staying present. I’d been so stuck trying to find the time and money for happiness that I’d missed the point: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations — like a cardinal taking flight, or talking to trees — right then and there.
As I left the park, I carried out a small but comforting ritual (仪式) I’d developed. I thanked the trees for listening.
24.Why did the author speak to a tree?
A.To heal the tree. B.To seek happiness.
C.To follow a tradition. D.To appreciate nature.
25.What do we know about the Finnish lifestyle?
A.It requires daily sauna visits. B.It values close relationships.
C.It is easily adopted elsewhere. D.It focuses on simple pleasures.
26.Why couldn’t the author recreate happy moments back in America?
A.She was busy with work. B.It was noisy in New York.
C.She forgot to stay present. D.It was expensive to live there.
27.Which of the following best describes the author’s trip to Finland?
A.Transformative. B.Challenging. C.Adventurous. D.Unexpected.
C
For many people, spending time in nature can be a relaxing, enjoyable experience. Immersing (沉浸) oneself in the green field of grass, or the shade of a forested trail can be truly calming and healing.
Recently, researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Vienna have published a study in Nature Communications that showed that not only does being in nature help reduce pain, but looking at nature could have a similar effect.
The study showed that people who viewed images of nature experienced less pain than those who saw images of a city or an indoor office. In addition, scans of the participants’ brains also showed changes in brain responses associated with processing pain. This means that seeing nature has an effect on pain, just like being in nature does. This is welcome news for people who do not live near green spaces.
However, a few months later, the researchers published another study, this time in Pain,showing that scenes of nature in virtual reality had more pain-killing power than 2D scenes.
In order to test how virtual reality affects the sensation of pain, the researchers set up an experiment with 29 healthy participants, who were shown two different types of nature scenes, one in virtual reality and the other in 2D, after pain was delivered to their forearms via electric shocks.
The researchers found that the immersive virtual reality scenes mitigated the development and feeling of pain in the participants. In fact, the virtual reality was almost two times as effective as the 2D scenes were.
There are many implications of these studies, especially concerning how people perceive and experience pain. However, more importantly, there are also potential practical implications of the studies. Though getting out into nature can be helpful in terms of treating pain, there are many people in the world who suffer from long-term pain and are unable to go into nature.
28.What did the two universities’ study find about looking at natural scenes?
A.It intensifies the sense of pain.
B.It changes the structure of the brain.
C.It makes people feel bored with cities.
D.It works like real nature in easing pain.
29.Why are the participants’ brains scanned?
A.To improve the brain’s ability of pain processing.
B.To measure the brain’s responses to different images.
C.To compare the brain structures of different people.
D.To locate the brain areas responsible for viewing nature.
30.What does the underlined word “mitigated” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Caused. B.Sharpened. C.Reduced. D.Reflected.
31.What will doctors probably do to help patients with limited mobility?
A.Bring nature to them. B.Provide them with recovery training.
C.Give pain killers to them. D.Show them various forms of entertainment.
D
A video of a lifelike robot released by a Chinese robotics company shows the robot’s head blinks, nods, and looks around in a convincing imitation of a real human face. The head, created by AheadForm, might find use in research on human-robot interactions or in various industries, including customer service and entertainment.
Founded in 2024, AheadForm aims to make interactions between humans and robots feel more natural and engaging, according to the company’s website. The company hopes to integrate AI systems such as large language models (LLMs) with realistic robotic heads so that robots can understand and respond to people in real time.
“Our current focus is on creating sophisticated (先进的) humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact smoothly with humans,” a company representative said on the website.
AheadForm has produced multiple series of robot forms, including its “Elf” line of pointy-eared figures with precise control systems and a more human-looking “Lan Series” of bots designed to prioritize cost-efficiency and intuitive movements.
In building a robotic head that can integrate with AI, the company aims to make robots more approachable and relatable. That could be useful for industries such as customer service, education, and healthcare, “where building trust with human users is essential,” according to the website.
Researchers from AheadForm are already working on how this might play out. In a 2024 study published in the journal Science Robotics, AheadForm founder Yuhang Hu and his colleagues designed a robot that could analyze, predict, and mimic (模仿) human facial expressions in real time.
To achieve the subtle, precise facial movements in the video, AheadForm uses brushless motors. These tiny devices run quietly and work together to create the lifelike twitches and glances that make the head seem realistic. Inside this particular model, the Origin M1, there are up to 25 tiny motors that control the head’s expressions. The bot also has cameras in its pupils to help it “see” its environment, along with built- in speakers and microphones it can use to interact with users on the fly.
32.What do we know about the robot in the video?
A.It has been widely used in various industries.
B.It is designed by an international robotics company.
C.It can function better than human in certain aspects.
D.It has the potential to promote human- robot interactions.
33.What does AheadForm center on at present?
A.Developing advanced robots that entertain people.
B.Designing robots that fit in with their surroundings.
C.Producing robots with flexible and lifelike heads.
D.Combining AI with their existing robot models.
34.Why does the author mention a robot designed by Yuhang Hu and his colleagues?
A.To illustrate the usage of the robot.
B.To demonstrate the robot’s ability to communicate.
C.To show AheadForm’s progress in robotic research.
D.To highlight the founder’s remarkable achievements.
35.Which of the following would be the best title?
A.The Latest Development in Robot Research
B.New Robots Use AI to Interact with Human Beings
C.Chinese Tech Company Develops a Lifelike Robot Head
D.Advanced Humanoid Robots Are Widely Used in Various Fields

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a critical skill to build stronger and empathetic (共情的) relationships, and it helps connect with our deepest feelings, allowing us to make decisions more consistent with our values and personal goals. Some individuals might naturally be more emotionally intelligent than others. 36
Identify and make note of your emotional reactions.
The ability to recognize and name your own emotions is an important indicator of a high EI. 37 This will help you practice the skill of identifying your feelings and connecting them to the events that triggered (触发) them, so you can better manage your emotions in the future.
38
Self-control is one of the major components of emotional intelligence, and willpower is key to self-control. Willpower involves resisting short-term temptation (诱惑) and satisfaction in order to focus on long-term goals. Researchers suggest that willpower is like a muscle, which means that it can get stronger over time with consistent, healthy exercise.
Pay attention to your body.
Instead of ignoring the physical signals of your emotions, start listening to them. Our minds and bodies are not separate, and they affect each other deeply. You can raise your EI by learning how to read physical clues that tell you into what emotions you’re feeling. 39
Work on your listening skills.
Truly listening to others while they speak helps you pick up on their emotions and respond to them, which is a key aspect of emotional intelligence. 40 Active listening skills include using engaged body language, summarizing and repeating what the other person said, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure you take equal turns talking.
A.Work on your willpower.
B.Keep things under your control.
C.Practice your active listening skills in order to be a good listener.
D.However, high EI can be developed with time through regular practice.
E.This essentially raises your self-awareness, which is a key component of EI.
F.Try starting a journal to keep track of your emotions and reflect on their causes.
G.This growing self-awareness is fundamental, as it directly influences your social skills.

We spent the afternoon 48 Clara tracked shadow lengths while I compared rock layers. When shadows proved 49 , we used fern (蕨类植物) growth patterns as directional guides. Sometimes we argued about methods, but 50 our approaches came together like building blocks. By Friday, we’d created a(n) 51 mapping system using nature’s clues.
Our final presentation surprised everyone. The teachers 52 our creative method, but the real reward was discovering how different ideas combined to create 53 .
That evening, Clara showed me her project journal. Beside rock sketches, she’d written: “Stones survive storms through 54 . So do good teams.” I smiled, realizing our rocky challenge had taught us a valuable lesson: the strongest 55 doesn’t lie in mountains, but in teamwork.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Shirley and her husband Leo ran a small restaurant near a cancer hospital. Thanks to the large number of medical staff and patients nearby, plus their clean and tasty dishes, the restaurant always had a stream of customers. Business was so good that they rarely had a moment to sit down during peak hours.
One Tuesday afternoon, a young man in his thirties walked in. Unlike other customers who headed straight for the tables, he hesitated by the door, looking anxious. Shirley noticed his unease and walked over with a smile. “Can I help you, sir?” she asked gently. The man took a deep breath and explained that his father, a lung cancer patient in the nearby hospital, had lost his appetite since getting sick. He refused most hospital meals and only ate food cooked by his family. The man begged Shirley to let him use the restaurant’s kitchen and utensils (器具) to make a meal for his dying father.
It was the first time Shirley had received such a request. She glanced at Leo, who nodded silently. Without hesitation, Shirley agreed. When the man finished cooking and asked how much he should pay, Shirley waved her hand. “No charge, ” she said softly. “Just hope your father likes the meal.” Grateful and excited, the man was left speechless.
After the man left, Leo sighed. “Cancer patients and their families are having such a tough time, ” he said. “If they can eat a home-cooked meal, it might make them feel a little better.” His words inspired an idea in Shirley: What if they let patients’ families use the kitchen and utensils to cook, and only charge a low cost? Leo loved the idea immediately. They named this service “Anti-Cancer Kitchen” together. The next morning, they hung a bright logo (徽标) of “Anti-Cancer Kitchen” on the restaurant door. Then, they entered the kitchen and made meals for customers as usual.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右。

25.根据第三段中“And the Finns also find happiness in more attainable ways, such as their close relationship with nature and visiting the sauna (桑拿) daily. These activities contain similar goals: Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth.(芬兰人也通过更容易获得的方式找到快乐,比如与自然的亲密关系和每天去桑拿房。这些活动都有相似的目标:活在当下,寻求一种依赖地球的极简主义生活方式)”可知,芬兰人的生活方式专注于简单的快乐。故选D。
26.根据倒数第二段中“Then one afternoon, I had a breakthrough as I rushed through Central Park and noticed a crowd of people staring at the ground. A cardinal! I stopped to admire the bird’s feather before it flew away. This was a win for staying present.

27.根据第三段中“These activities contain similar goals: Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth.(这些活动都有相似的目标:活在当下,寻求一种依赖地球的极简主义生活方式)”和倒数第二段中“This was a win for staying present.

C: 28-31 DBCA
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍相关研究发现置身自然和观看自然景象均能减轻疼痛,且虚拟现实自然场景的镇痛效果优于二维场景。
28.根据第二段中的“Recently, researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Vienna have published a study in Nature Communications that showed that not only does being in nature help reduce pain, but looking at nature could have a similar effect.(最近,埃克塞特大学和维也纳大学的研究人员在《自然·通讯》上发表了一项研究,该研究表明,置身大自然不仅有助于减轻疼痛,观看自然景象也可能产生类似的效果。)”可知,两所大学的研究发现观看自然景象在缓解疼痛方面和置身真实自然环境的作用相似。故选D项。
29.根据第三段中的“The study showed that people who viewed images of nature experienced less pain than those who saw images of a city or an indoor office. In addition, scans of the participants’ brains also showed changes in brain responses associated with processing pain. (该研究显示,观看自然景象图片的人比观看城市或室内办公室图片的人感受到的疼痛更少。此外,对参与者大脑的扫描也显示出与疼痛处理相关的大脑反应发生了变化。)”可知,对参与者进行脑部扫描是为了为了测量大脑对不同图片的反应。故选B项。
30.根据第六段中的“The researchers found that the immersive virtual reality scenes mitigated the development and feeling of pain in the participants. In fact, the virtual reality was almost two times as effective as the 2D scenes were.(研究人员发现,沉浸式虚拟现实场景mitigated参与者疼痛的产生和感受。事实上,虚拟现实的效果几乎是二维场景的两倍。)”可知,虚拟现实场景的镇痛效果优于二维场景,由此推测“mitigated”的意思是“减轻、缓解”,与“reduced”含义相近。故选C项。
31.通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“Though getting out into nature can be helpful in terms of treating pain, there are many people in the world who suffer from long-term pain and are unable to go into nature. (虽然走进大自然有助于治疗疼痛,但世界上有许多长期遭受疼痛折磨的人无法走进大自然。)”以及前文提及虚拟现实自然场景和二维自然场景的镇痛效果可知,对于行动不便的患者,医生可能会通过为他们呈现自然相关的景象(比如虚拟现实自然场景)来帮助缓解疼痛,也就是将“自然”带到他们身边。故选A项。

本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕提高情商这一主题,向读者介绍了提高情商的多种方法。
36.前文提到“Some individuals might naturally be more emotionally intelligent than others (有些人可能天生情商就比别人高)”,而文章整体是在讲提高情商的方法,说明即使天生情商不高也能提升。选项D“However, high EI can be developed with time through regular practice (然而,通过定期练习,高情商是可以随着时间培养出来的)”,“However” 表示转折,引出了后文关于提高情商方法的内容。故选D。
37.前文“The ability to recognize and name your own emotions is an important indicator of a high EI.(识别和说出自己情绪的能力是高情商的重要指标。)”强调识别和说出自己情绪的能力是高情商的重要指标,后文提到“This will help you practice the skill of identifying your feelings and connecting them to the events that triggered (触发) them (这将帮助你练习识别自己的情绪,并将它们与触发这些情绪的事件联系起来)”,说明这里要填一个能帮助实现情绪识别和关联事件的方法。选项F“Try starting a journal to keep track of your emotions and reflect on their causes (试着开始写日记,记录你的情绪并反思其原因)”,写日记可以记录情绪及触发事件,符合语境。故选F。
38.此空位于段落开头,是段落主题句。后文提到“Self - control is one of the major components of emotional intelligence, and willpower is key to self - control (自我控制是情商的主要组成部分之一,而意志力是自我控制的关键)”,强调了意志力对情商中自我控制的重要性。选项A“Work on your willpower (锻炼你的意志力)”,准确概括了段落内容。故选A。
39.前文“Instead of ignoring the physical signals of your emotions, start listening to them. Our minds and bodies are not separate, and they affect each other deeply. You can raise your EI by learning how to read physical clues that tell you into what emotions you’re feeling.(与其忽视你情绪的身体信号,不如开始倾听它们。我们的思想和身体并不是分开的,它们深深地影响着彼此。你可以通过学习如何解读身体线索来提高情商,这些线索能告诉你自己的情绪。)”说可以通过学习解读身体信号来提高情商,选项E“This essentially raises your self - awareness, which is a key component of EI (这实际上提高了你的自我意识,而自我意识是情商的关键组成部分)”,“This” 指代前文通过身体信号了解情绪的做法,说明这种做法能提高自我意识,进而提高情商,与前文逻辑连贯。故选E。
40.前文“Truly listening to others while they speak helps you pick up on their emotions and respond to them, which is a key aspect of emotional intelligence.(当别人说话的时候,真正地倾听可以帮助你理解他们的情绪,并对他们做出反应,这是情商的一个关键方面。)”提到真正倾听他人说话有助于察觉他们的情绪并做出回应,是情商的关键方面,后文“Active listening skills include using engaged body language, summarizing and repeating what the other person said, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure you take equal turns talking.(积极倾听的技巧包括使用积极的肢体语言,总结和重复对方所说的话,提出深思熟虑的问题,并确保你们轮流说话。)”列举了积极倾听的技巧。选项C“Practice your active listening skills in order to be a good listener (练习你的积极倾听技巧,以便成为一个好的倾听者)”,既承接前文强调倾听的重要性,又引出后文积极倾听技巧的内容,所以选C。

写作 第一节:
Dear Mr. Ryan,
I am Li Hua, the leader of the school’s English Performance Club. We are currently preparing for our annual English drama show and would be truly grateful for your expertise.
Our rehearsals are scheduled for every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 4: 00 to 5: 30, starting next week, in the School Hall. Given your native command of English and experience in drama, we were wondering if you could spare some time to conduct a session or two with us. We would particularly appreciate your guidance on authentic pronunciation and natural intonation for the dialogues.
Your involvement would make a significant difference to our performance. Thank you for considering our request.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节:
To their surprise, “Anti-Cancer Kitchen” became a popular spot. More and more families of cancer patients traveled to this special restaurant, hoping to cook homemade meals with their own hands for their loved ones. These fresh, familiar dishes were deeply loved by the patients, who tasted not only food but also the genuine warmth of home and family care in every bite. Such comfort and warmth greatly inspired them, offering extra courage and strength to stay positive and battle against their severe illnesses. Many patients and their families were so moved that they left sincere, heartfelt notes to express their deep gratitude to the kind couple.
While their profits fell, the couple found something more rewarding. Though they earned less from the restaurant’s regular business, they received countless warm smiles from the families and the patients. Once, a recovered patient even came back to volunteer in the kitchen. Shirley and Leo realized that their small act of kindness had brought immense comfort to those in need, which was far more precious than any financial gain.

M: No, there’s a strong smell of smoke inside. I’m staying outside until the smell is gone.
W: You need a coat in this weather.
Text 2
M: I think we should plant something tall and fast-growing here. Bamboo could be a good choice—it creates a natural screen and attracts some birds.
W: Bamboo? But I heard it spreads too quickly and might spread throughout the whole garden.
Text 3(推断题)
W: So in the end, did you find out what had happened to your car?
M: Yes. It had been taken away by the police because it was badly parked, but I’ve got it back now.
Text 4
W: Excuse me. Could someone come over and get me the larger size of this shirt?
M: Oh, yes, I’m sorry. We’ve just been tied up. I’ll have my colleague go get it for you right away.
Text 5
W: Can you tell me about these mobile phones?

M: Burton and Taylor Limited, how can I help you?

M: Ah, you need to speak to Mr.Burton. He’s dealing with the applications, but he’s in a meeting at the moment. I’ll put you through to his secretary.
W: Thank you. Do you have any idea how long his meeting will last? I don't want to miss him if he calls me back.
M: I’m not sure about that. But I’m sure his secretary will be able to supply you with all the details.
W: OK, thanks very much.

M: How long do we have left?
W: I think it’s just two weeks.
M: I can’t believe it; we’re almost there.
W: Yeah, I’m excited too. I’ll be doing the introduction, right?
M: Yes, but I was thinking that we should remove the third section, or the presentation will be too long. Plus, I’m looking forward to the party with the local companies after we’re done.
W: So am I! Well, back to the project. You are in charge of the pictures, and I’ll do the speech. We need to practice a lot this week.
M: OK. Let’s meet in the lecture room as it's always empty.

M: What were you employed as in your temporary jobs?
W: Well, I worked in a restaurant when I was a teenager. I started bringing food from the kitchen to the tables and helping clean up. Then, when I was twenty, I was allowed to work as a cashier.
M: Have you ever been fired from a temporary job?
W: No. I worked hard.
M: In a future permanent job, what would you like to be employed as?
W: I’d like to be in marketing, not those jobs I did before just to make a living.
M: What exams must you pass for the next stage of your career?
W: I have to do a marketing degree, and most universities want English, math and one other subject, like psychology.
Text 9
M: Mary, how did it go with preparing your lessons?
W: Well, this is actually the first time that I have ever taught in an elementary classroom, but I’m a bit stuck right now. You know the topic I want them to research is a bit hard for pupils. I’m afraid that they won’t be able to handle it on their own. So I need new ideas on designing more effective teaching methods. Mr.Carter, do you have any suggestions?
M: Well, you should probably read this book, written by J.K. Simmons. He is a professor who just transferred here last semester, but he is popular among students for his creative teaching methods. There s an extensive range of learning approaches mentioned in the book, including approaches for team research, which might be helpful to you.
W: You mean dividing the students into groups to do research? I’ve never thought of this before. How does it work?
M: Professor Simmons has already demonstrated how efficient this approach can be. Basically, it aims to increase cooperation between students and help them develop their own voice and perspective.
W: I’ll check out the book as soon as possible.

Hello, everybody. My name’s Ann. Thanks for turning up to listen to me talk about my career. I hope that some of you will decide to take up nursing in the future because it is a fantastic job. First of all, I'll tell you a little bit about how I got started. I had no idea what I wanted to do until I was about 14, when I was listening to a family conversation. My cousin was talking to my dad and telling him all about how much she enjoyed her work. She was a nurse in a busy hospital. And I thought, yeah, that's exactly what I’d like to do. When I told my teachers that's what I decided, they were very encouraging. But they did say that although I had always got good marks in English and biology, I’d have to get a little better at math, or I wouldn't be able to do the job. Well, I must say, it wasn’t easy being a student nurse. It involved lots of late nights staying up to do my coursework. But I’d known it would be like that. Anyway, I think I have one of the best jobs in the world. My sister is an accountant, and although she earns far more than I do, I think my job is much more rewarding.
