Hidden in The Book Nook's four picks are money lessons that still ring true. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Set in the Jazz Age, it shows an America mad for money. Gatsby breaks the law to win Daisy, yet loses everything——a reminder that what we want from life beyond money matters just as much as driving for more success. Format: Hardback | Publisher: Scribner Price:£12.99 The Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton Written in 1913, it follows Undine Spragg, who pushes for a richer life at the expense of her family. She ignores her growing bills until she is left divorced and unhappy——a lesson in living within your means. Format: Hardback | Publisher: Oxford World's Classics | Price:£8.99 A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens It reflects the hard life of the Victorian poor.

My story began not with butterflies, but as the eldest son of a stocking maker in Leicester. Yet, a boy's passion for collecting insects and an important meeting with Alfred Russel Wallace, Darwin's future co-theorist, sent me toward the tropics. For eleven years, the Amazon was my home, my school, and my testing ground. I faced constant dangers,from disease-carrying mosquitoes and snakes to flooding rains. I was struck down by both yellow fever and malaria. My routine was strict: mornings collecting, afternoons reading and preparing my finds. I was usually in bed by nine. My field journals, filled with detailed drawings and notes in dark ink, were my defense against the dampness and insects. I learned the local languages and customs, for without the essential guidance of its people, I would have been completely lost in that vast wilderness. It was a time of extraordinary variety. I brought back over 14,000 kinds of insects—8,000 new to science.But the real wonder was not the numbers, but a pattern I noticed. It started with a puzzle: why could slow-flying butterflies like the Heliconius escape birds? Later I discovered they were poisonous and bitter-tasting.Then the deeper truth emerged: harmless Dismorphia had evolved to copy the bright warning colours of the Heliconius. These mimics, avoided by their natural enemies, survived to pass on their colours. Here was evolution by natural selection, written plainly on butterfly wings. I published my paper in 1862, three years after Darwin's On the Origin of Species. That this“mimicry”,discovered in remote jungles, could offer timely field support for his great theory remains my proudest achievement. They say I“wrote the book” on field study. I simply followed my fascination, one find at a time, from my father's Leicester workshop into the heart of nature's grandest design. 24. Who was Henry Walter Bates? A. A researcher who studied insects. B. Darwin's co-theorist on evolution. C. A stocking maker from Leicester. D. A writer documenting tropical life. 25. What did Bates consider was essential to his life and work in the Amazon? A. Keeping a strict daily schedule. B. Staying healthy in the rainforest. C. Collecting and studying samples. D. Getting assistance from the locals. 26. What was the pattern Bates discovered? A. Birds avoided eating bitter-tasting insects. B. Slow-flying butterflies escaped birds’ attack. C. The bright colours of butterflies signalled danger. D. Harmless species copied the look of poisonous ones. 27. Which of the following best describes Bates? A. Brave and passionate. B. Creative and humble. C. Ambitious and sociable. D. Independent and proud. C “There are between 10 and 50 billion potentially habitable worlds in our galaxy,” says Bill Diamond.He is the chief executive of the US based research organization SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence).“SETI is looking for science and technology beyond the solar system as the evidence of life and intelligence,” Mr Diamond says.“We’ re looking for something that is likely exceedingly rare and may be very difficult to find and extract from the background phenomena that you' re observing at the same time.” But the ability of AI to both handle massive datasets and to spot anomalies (异常现象) is transforming the hunt for alien intelligence. Mr Diamond points to AI enabling the search for new types of radio signals from aliens. Traditionally, SETI has looked for narrowband (窄频的) signals like those used by humans.“But there was always the question,‘What if there’ s an alien advanced technology that is using wideband radio?’ And if that’ s the case, our traditional methods wouldn’t work; it would look like a bunch of noise on the screen.” However, Mr Diamond says that the ability of AI to handle massive amounts of data means it’s possible to take millions of“snapshots” of the snowy screen over time, and to start to look for patterns. Researcher Peter Ma developed an AI system to examine telescope data and distinguish between possible alien signals and interference (干扰信号). His team simulated both types of noise and trained the AI to identify them. Mr Ma says that an alien signal can, for example, only appear when we point our telescopes at it and disappear when we point away. The project has already identified eight potential alien signals that went undetected by traditional analysis. However, Mr Ma believes that as the observations haven't yet been repeated, they are probably false positives. It's early days, and any promising results generated by AI need to be confirmed by other observations,or by physics-based models, before they can be shouted from the rooftops. But as more and more data are collected and analyzed, the chances of detecting alien life— if it exists— are increasing all the time. 28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The challenge of spotting aliens. B. The existence of alien intelligence. C. The capability of artificial intelligence. D. The ambition to explore the solar system. 29. What does Mr Diamond suggest by mentioning“wideband radio” in paragraph 2? A. The high IO of aliens. B. The occurrence of new patterns. C. The potential for the application of AI. D. The deafening narrowband signal sources. 30. What will Mr Ma depend on to judge his discovery? A. The identified data. B. The repetitive signals. C. The conventional analysis. D. The simulated noise. 31. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A. Before they can be made public. B. Before they can be put into massive use. C. Before they can be generated by physicists. D. Before they can be confirmed under observation. D The idea that smiling can make you feel happier has a long history. Early psychologists were thinking about it in the 1880s. More than a hundred studies have been published on the topic. And it's a trope(比喻)of pop wisdom:“Smile, though your heart is aching,” sang Nat King Cole in 1954.“You’ ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you' ll just smile.” In 2018, social psychologist Fritz Strack published a study that seemed to confirm that facial feedback was real. The researchers asked participants to hold a pen in their mouths in a position that forced them either to expose their teeth in a copy of a smile or to purse(撅) their lips around the pen. To make sure that no one was clued in to the researchers' interest in smiles, the experimenters told participants that they were exploring how people with physical disabilities might write or perform other ordinary tasks. When both groups were shown a set of newspaper comics— specifically, illustrations from Gary Larson's The Far Side— the teeth-exposer rated the images as funnier than the lip-pursers did. This was a big deal for the facial feedback hypothesis(假设): Even though participants weren't thinking about smiling or their mood, just moving their face into a smile-like shape seemed to affect their emotions. And so the finding made its way into psychology textbooks and countless news headlines. Decades of confirmation followed, as researchers published other experiments that also showed support for the facial feedback hypothesis. But in 2025, all at once, 17 labs failed to repeat the pen study. 32. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Participants were physically disabled. B. Participants felt confused about the study. C. Researchers didn't share their true purpose. D. Researchers didn't show their facial feedback. 33. What does the result of the pen study indicate? A. Holding a pen makes comics seem funnier to people. B. A pleasant mood helps people appreciate humor more. C. Smiling frequently brings people a more enjoyable life. D. Facial movements may shape one's moods unconsciously. 34. What is the author's attitude towards the result of the experiment? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A . The Design and Results of a Pen Study. B. The Smiling Hypothesis: Still in Doubt. C. Smiling Can Really Make You Happier. D. The Power of a Smile: The Proven Truth. 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。 If you find yourself thinking,“I am a failure,” it's important to know that there are things you can do to feel better. Knowing how to cope with failure in a healthy way takes some of the fear out of it. 36 First of all, it's important to acknowledge that everybody fails at one time or another, but that doesn't make us failures— it just means we are human, and that things didn't work out this time. If you do feel like a failure, calling a friend, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain. 37 So you should try to find out what does for you. 38 Did you make a whole series of mistakes? Think about what you could do differently next time.Then you can ensure your failure will become a life lesson. Instead of seeing a failure as a burden weighing you down, look at it as a stepping stone toward your goals. Once you've identified your mistakes and where you can learn from them, you' ll be ready to make a plan for moving forward. 39 Stop thinking,“I am a failure.” and focus on thinking.“I am capable of trying again.” Create a plan that will help you put the information you gained into practice. If you've spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally happens. Facing your fears, however, can be the key to reducing the discomfort. 40 Do things that might get you rejected or try new things where you could fail. Over time, you’ ll learn that failure isn’t as bad as you might imagine. A. Practice stepping outside your comfort zone. B. Not every coping skill works for everyone, though. C. These will provide you with some temporary relief. D. Failure can be a great teacher if you' re open to learning. E. And this helps reduce the pain so you can bounce back better. F. Remember that focusing on your problems will keep you stuck. G. There are many reasons why you might be feeling like a failure. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last Friday, a large group of friends and I went to a concert.

I was having an interview online and talking with my potential employer, Ms Black. We had not met in person yet. But from what I had read of her requirements for a personal assistant, I knew I wanted the position. She even had a little pet dog who had the final say on any applicant.“Your puppy sounds so cute,” I added. “I love dogs.” Then, I started to worry that typing that was too much at this early stage and stopped myself from adding anything more. The bubbles appeared on screen, showing that the lady was typing something in response, when there was a knock at my front door. My mother was in, and as I was in the middle of an online interview, I asked her to answer it. I heard a lot of muffled (模糊不清的) noise and then my mother called my name. I hurried downstairs, wondering what was going on. Our neighbor was in our entrance hall, holding her little cat, Marley. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Her hands shook badly.“We were attacked by a big dog,” she wept. Marley was quiet in her arms but alert, bleeding slightly on one leg, trembling in great pain. “Are you okay?” “ Yes. But Marley is badly hurt,” she nodded shakily and said, nearly breaking down. She was too anxious to drive to the hospital alone. 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。 Even though I was supposed to be in the middle of an interview,I made a decision. It was late when I got back, and I thought I had blown the online interview. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
