David Brooks is a best-selling author. The book club I joined recently picked his work How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. Brooks opens the book with a personal reflection: “By high school, I had built a long-term shelter inside my own mind.” Yet after marriage and the arrival of his children, he came to realize that inner change was badly needed. He recalls, “When I was younger, my goal was to become knowledgeable. As I grew older, I longed to gain wisdom. Wise individuals combine factual knowledge with compassionate insight into other human beings.”
Brooks argues that the quality of individual lives, as well as social well-being, depends heavily on how we treat one another during small, day-to-day exchanges. He observes two types of people in society: “diminishers” and “illuminators”. To illustrate what makes an illuminator, Brooks cites E.M. Forster’s biographer: “To speak to him was to feel heard with such intensity that you were driven toward your most sincere, sharp-sighted and finest self.”
Brooks further notes that frequent readers tend to grow more empathetic, a vital quality for healthy relationships. Reading enables audiences to witness characters’ struggles, broadening their awareness of diverse viewpoints and inner feelings. He borrows a line from Thornton Wilder: “In love’s service, only the wounded soldiers can serve.” It is through hardship and tough life events, Brooks implies, that human beings gradually achieve greater emotional wisdom.
Brooks proves himself a skilled story-teller and draws widely from research findings. Still, the reviewer finds the book occasionally disjointed. Some extended anecdotes (趣闻) fail to closely support the arguments laid out in earlier chapters. Though Brooks is well-informed, certain sections read like a journalist’s collection of quotations from diverse materials.
Even so, the reviewer appreciates Brooks’s frankness. He openly admits where his own understanding falls short, and shows genuine passion for the topic. All things considered, this volume can serve as a worthwhile reference for readers.
24. What do we know about Brooks from paragraph 1?
A. His life course is redirected.
B. The book club makes his book a hit.
C. His book focuses on personal reflection.
D. Parenthood shifts his perspective on life.
25. According to Brooks, an illuminator tends to ________.
A. prioritize others’ opinions B. demand total honesty from others
C. empathize with people and better them D. stay away from people and avoid conflicts
26. How can readers build their empathy through reading?
A. By sharing different opinions. B. By sensing others’ inner worlds.
C. By recording life experiences. D. By curing emotional wounds.
27. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4?
A. The characters in the book are vividly described.
B. The language of the text is informal and original.
C. Some contents of the book are loosely connected.
D. The central theme of the book is clearly presented.
C
For many birdwatchers, recording a species outside its normal range is the top prize. In the UK, the discoveries often make national headlines. But a new scourge (灾祸) is threatening to ruin the fun: AI slop.
The rise of generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini has led to a sharp increase in artificial and enhanced images of rare and celebrated birds across wildlife photography forums. Scientists are concerned that these images will damage the credibility of popular citizen-science platforms such as iNaturalist and Macaulay Library, which are routinely used in scientific research to monitor species’ habitat range.
“My experience of looking at Facebook these days is that a huge volume of wildlife photos now are simply AI-generated imagery,” said Dr. Alexander Lees, an ecologist at Manchester Metropolitan University. “The idea that we could use those photos to help us understand where species are in space and time is very difficult.” Lees points to the example of a false sighting in central Brazil of a red-winged blackbird, which is usually found in North America. It was, in fact, an epaulet oriole — a common new world species — but the photographer had asked AI to make the picture “look better”, so parts of the red-winged blackbird were added.
Citizen science organizations are working to understand the scale of the issue. On iNaturalist, just 1,400 of the platform’s 610m images have been flagged for AI use. From monitoring how plants and animals move in response to climate breakdown to recording species’ new behavior, dozens of discoveries have been made using citizen science.
Tony Iwane, an iNaturalist director, appealed to users to be cautious. “The more we know about where species are, the better informed we can be as conservationists. But the information needs to be accurate.”
28. What phenomenon is highlighted in the first two paragraphs?
A. Rise of AI-processed bird images.
B. Posting AI-edited images on AI platforms.
C. Recording a species outside its normal range.
D. Emergence of false AI-generated information.
29. Which of the following does Dr. Alexander Lees intend to tell us?
A. AI-generated wildlife photos can mislead people.
B. Some enhanced birdwatching photos go unnoticed.
C. Photographers have the duty to improve their pictures.
D. The credibility of citizen-science platforms is doubted.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Citizen scientists enjoy sharing images of rare birds.
B. Most of iNaturalist images are marked as AI-related.
C. Citizen science contributes a lot to wildlife research.
D. Using AI to record species’ new behavior is difficult.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. New ways to spot AI-generated wildlife pictures.
B. Risks AI brings to citizen science bird-recording.
C. The popularity of modern birdwatching activities.
D. Major functions of wildlife photography forums.
D
When scanning ingredient labels on supermarket goods, shoppers frequently spot chemical names like citric acid. These substances are food preservatives added to block food spoilage and maintain taste and color. More than one fifth of all packaged food items carry at least one such additive. For years, people viewed these chemicals as totally safe, yet a new large-scale research casts doubt on this common belief.
A research team from several French universities carried out a long-term health survey, covering over 112 thousand volunteers. The team tracked each participant’s diet and physical conditions for nearly eight years. Earlier lab experiments hinted certain preservatives might damage heart functions but few studies collected reliable evidence from human groups. This project stands out as the first wide-ranging research exploring the connection between daily intake of various preservatives and two major illnesses — high blood pressure and heart diseases.
Researchers sorted preservatives into two functional groups. The first type restricts the growth of mold and bacteria while the second prevents food oxidation (氧化) and discoloration. Statistics showed almost every volunteer took in preservatives regularly. Those consuming large amounts of bacteria-inhibiting preservatives (抑菌防腐剂) faced a 29 percent higher risk of high blood pressure and a 16 percent rise in heart disease risk. Heavy users of anti-oxidation preservatives also saw a 22 percent increased chance of suffering high blood pressure. Eight widely used preservatives were linked to blood pressure risks and one of them further lifted heart trouble possibility.
Though the data shows clear correlation, the team reminds readers the study cannot confirm direct cause and effect. Some obvious limits exist in the research sample where most participants are highly educated women, which fails to mirror the whole population. Even after adjusting data to rule out outside influences, the negative connection remained stable.
The research team calls for official authorities worldwide to re-examine the safety standards of food additives. Current rules may not fully protect consumers given people absorb different preservatives from multiple meals daily. Experts also suggest ordinary citizens choose less processed natural food to cut unnecessary chemical intake.
32. What is special about the research?
A. It uses large-scale human data. B. It identifies new preservatives.
C. It updates lab experiment methods. D. It improves food processing techniques.
33. What does the underlined word “correlation” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. High risks of two major illnesses. B. Link between preservatives and health.
C. Differences between two functional groups. D. Hidden connections of relevant health issues.
34. Which best describes the research sample?
A. Authoritative. B. Typical. C. Restricted. D. Random.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Safety Rules for Food Production B. Ways to Reduce Intake of Additives
C. Classification of Common Food Preservatives D. New Findings on Preservatives and Related Risks

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。
In a world that celebrates busyness, unstructured free time is often seen as wasted time. People fill every minute with to-do lists, scheduled activities, and productivity goals. 36 Yet, unstructured time — when you have no plans, deadlines, or specific tasks to complete — holds surprising benefits for both mind and body.
Unstructured free time allows your brain to rest and recharge. When you’re constantly switching between tasks, your prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) works overtime, leading to mental exhaustion. 37 Without external demands, your mind can wander freely, making room for creative thinking and problem-solving.
38 It is during these unplanned moments that many people discover new hobbies or revisit forgotten passions. A casual walk in the park might spark an interest in birdwatching. A quiet afternoon with no obligations could lead to picking up an old guitar again. These small discoveries can bring unexpected joy and a renewed sense of purpose.
Too much structure can leave little room for self-reflection. 39 Unstructured time gives you the space to ask yourself simple but important questions: Am I happy with my routine? What do I truly enjoy doing? This quiet self-check-in can help you stay connected to your own needs and values.
Of course, unstructured free time doesn’t mean being lazy. 40 The key is to balance it with the responsibilities of daily life. In the end, these unplanned moments are not empty — they are the spaces where life’s most meaningful experiences often grow.
A. Some people prefer to spend their free time with friends or family.
B. Unstructured time can also be a powerful tool for personal growth.
C. Many people even feel guilty when they are not being “productive.”
D. This kind of mental break is essential for restoring focus and clarity.
E. It simply means letting go of the pressure to always be doing something.
F. Creative ideas rarely appear when you are overloaded with tight schedules.
G. Constantly following plans leaves no time to process your thoughts and feelings.

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。
It was a sunny late March morning in Alabama. Bennett decided to go kayaking (皮划艇) and fishing on the Elk River before heading home to watch his 4-year-old daughter’s ball game. The weather was pleasant after a week of rain and overflowing rivers. Confident and relaxed, Bennett loaded his kayak with fishing equipment.
The river surface looked calm, but hidden currents ran beneath. Shortly after he pushed off, chaotic water suddenly flipped (打翻) his small kayak. Submerged in the icy, rushing water, Bennett was instantly terrified. His ill-fitting life jacket choked his throat, making it hard to breathe. Struggling desperately, he failed to right the kayak and was gradually carried downstream by the violent current.
Then Bennett remembered: My phone! But when he reached into his pocket, he found that the phone was gone. As he checked his other pocket, his hand brushed against the handgun he always wore when he fished, in case of snakes. Maybe he could signal for help. He fired repeated shots at passing cars on the bridge. Unfortunately, no one stopped. Shivering violently and losing basic body control, Bennett thought he would not survive the cold river.
Just as he was about to give up, John who was camping nearby with his children heard the unusual gunshots. As a disaster-recovery volunteer, John had pulled people out of floods, set bones and rescued puppies. He saw his skills and experiences as a responsibility to help others. With professional rescue experience, he immediately realized someone was in great danger.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, John rushed toward the riverbank.
After what felt like ages, he finally pulled Bennett onto dry land.
