Not all bachelor's degrees lead to the same income.Among entry-level workers,STEM (science, technology,engineering,and mathematics)majors earn the most.Along with business,STEM is one of the most preferred choices,as it combines strong employment demand with attractive long-term pay. For those who continue to graduate school,earnings usually increase -sometimes dramatically. Sciences see the biggest jump,while arts have the smallest growth.Here's the breakdown of average earnings and the wage increase from a graduate degree. Bachelor's Average Wage Increase by $43,000$41,000$37,000 Major $30,000$29,000 Earnings Graduate Degree Engineering $80,000 25.00% Computer $72,000 24.60% Sciences $64,000 50.00% STEM Health Business Career-Arts,humanities, focused and liberal arts Business $65,000 33.30% Arts $48,700 22.90% However,a major does not determine one's future.The top 25%of education majors can earn at least $59,000 a year,matching the bottom 25%of engineering majors.This highlights how personal effort and wise career choices matter greatly,sometimes more than the major itself.Therefore,when choosing a major,we need to take our interests,strengths and long-term life goals into full consideration,without ignoring practical value.No matter which major we choose,continuous hard work and right attitudes will always help us achieve success and realize our own value in life. 21.Why are STEM majors so popular? A.They share some core courses with business. B.They offer good prospects and competitive pay. C.They guarantee great short-term economic value. D.They mean attractive wages to mid-level workers. 22.Which major earns the most on average after graduate school? A.Sciences. B.Business. C.Computer. D.Engineering. 23.What is the author's advice to young people? A.Prioritizing the potential earnings. B.Planning careers based on majors. C.Going all out in their chosen field. D.Following their personal interests. B People are always shocked when they find out I own three white couches(长沙发).“But you have kids!”they say.“And pets！You must live in constant fear of stain（污渍)！”Honestly,I'm always amused by the panic they project onto my furniture.I call it "stainxiety". And yes,I've felt it too.My own worst-case scenes play out daily:a chocolate chip becoming liquid on the cushion ()or my kid running away from dinner with dirty hands.My heart leaps into my throat.I picture the worst:Should I just throw the couch away?Is this the one that finally ruins it?Then I reach for the stain remover-desperately.A few moments later,the mark disappears,my heart steadies, and life goes on. I didn't go for white couches to prove I'm fearless.I chose them because they make the room feel calm and bright.Somewhere along the way,they started teaching me how to handle small disasters without turning them into big ones. The turning point came a couple of years ago.I was on a work trip when my husband called, whispering in panic,"There's blood everywhere."My brain was instantly flooded with the worst images.It turned out that my son had a tiny cut and moved from cushion to cushion before anyone noticed.He was fine.The couch was fine.But I saw something wasn't:the way my family walked on eggshells around me, afraid to mention a little mess.That was the moment I started rethinking my own relationship with stains- not to eliminate the panic,but to move through it faster. Now I buy washable slipcovers.When anxiety rises,I clean the stain,calm down,and enjoy daily life.The funny thing is,my white couches aren't perfectly clean anymore.They're lived-in.They tell stories of birthday parties and lazy Sundays;they're proof that we've really lived here.Stains will come, and we'll deal with them.That's not chaos;it's confidence. 24.What causes the author's stainxiety? A.The couches'getting dirty very easily. B.The kids'always ruining the couches. C.The white furniture's needing replacing. D.The house's taking effort to keep clean. 25.Why did the author originally choose white couches? A.To make small marks more noticeable. B.To create a peaceful living atmosphere. C.To practise a certain living philosophy. D.To show her brave attitude to untidiness. 26.What did the author realize after the phone call? A.She could barely remove dirt. B.She was too focused on chaos. C.Her couches were a bad choice. D.Her panic affected her family. 27.What key lesson has the author learned? A.A full life leaves room for imperfection B.Confidence comes from avoiding the mess. C.Small accidents in life should be ignored. D.Family happiness outweighs personal taste. C The moringa tree,known as the "miracle tree",is one of the most nutrient-rich plants on the planet. Recently,a team of scientists from Brazil and the UK found that extracts (from the seeds of these trees are highly effective at removing microplastics from water. Microplastics are tiny particles (that can be as small as 1/25,000 of an inch and are pernicious, raising serious health concerns.They can get into our food and drinking water.A previous study found microplastics in 83%of tap water samples worldwide.They have also been found in the human body, including the brain and reproductive organs. The seeds of the tree serve as a natural material which causes tiny particles in water to stick together and form larger masses that can be easily filtered (out.In their study,the researchers focused on PVC microplastics,one of the most dangerous types of microplastics.The team discovered that seed extracts could remove 98.5%of these microplastics from tap water when used in filtering systems.This removal rate is nearly equal to that of alum,a commonly used chemical substance.Moreover,the scientists found that moringa seeds outperformed alum in water across broader pH ranges. A major advantage of using the seeds instead of alum is that they are renewable and biodegradable and raise fewer safety concerns.Professor Matthew Campen said replacing alum-based filtering materials with a natural product could lower the cost of removing PVC microplastics.He added that this method would also reduce the need for mining the metal used to make alum,an activity that can have negative environmental consequences. However,more research is still needed to determine whether moringa seeds work against other types of microplastics as effectively as they do against PVC microplastics.Matthew Campen expressed confidence that moringa seeds would prove effective against various types of plastics,and the team plans to conduct follow-up studies on this topic. 28.What does the underlined word "pernicious"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Invisible. B.Harmful. C.Simple. D.Temporary 29.How do the miracle tree's seeds help remove microplastics? A.By absorbing them into the seeds B.By changing the acid level of water. C.By gathering tiny particles together. D.By breaking them into smaller parts. 30.What did Matthew Campen say about the seed extracts? A.They posed no safety concerns. B.They offered a sustainable solution. C.They cost more than chemicals D.They required metal mining activities 31.What will be the research team's focus regarding the seeds? A.Proving their lasting effectiveness. B.Putting them into practical use soon. C.Exploring their wider applications. D.Testing them on PVC microplastics. D Many live in quiet fear that AI will someday be the death of art.With screenwriters protesting and AI- generated works selling for millions,the future can seem rather dark. But history paints a different picture.When photography emerged in the 19th century,painters feared the worst.Around 1840,a French painter declared,"From today,painting is dead!"In truth,the camera 州 didn't kill painting一it forced it to evolve.Movements like Impressionism and Cubism(立体主义)arose in part from painters asking "What can I do that this new machine cannot?"The answer was to represent 知 the world subjectively,as they themselves experienced it. Today's artists face a harder question,because AI is a more powerful tool than the camera.But one 删 thing AI cannot do is simply exist in the world:to live a life that is naturally unique.It cannot form relationships or build memories of its own.For this reason,human-made art in the age of AI will likely turn 长 蚁 more personal,inseparable from the artist's own character and experiences. We can already see this shift happening.More and more video creators are choosing to appear on K camera without heavy editing to lean toward what distinguishes them:themselves.Artists will also need to keep reinventing their styles.The more you stick to a specific style,the easier it will be for AI to do what 郑 you do.Originality won't be art's only aim.Inimitability-the resistance to being reproduced-will become just as important. 海 The pursuit of inimitability may take art in an unexpected direction.As AI art becomes more advanced,human artists will seek to distinguish themselves through intentional imperfection,for example, rough lines rather than polished images.Even mistakes will be key components of AI-era aesthetics )The more AI can do,the more our idea of what makes us human will change,and human-made art will reflect that. 32.How did painting change with the rise of photography? A.Its styles showed less variety. B.Its creation involved less emotion C.It paid more attention to reality. D.It became more personally expressive. 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.What today's artists need to stay productive. B.What kind of human ability AI may develop. C.How AI's limitations may reshape human art. D.How human experiences affect artistic works. 34.Which quality of art will become increasingly valued? A.Being difficult to copy. B.Keeping a fixed pattern. C.Showing unique editing. D.Appearing highly perfect. 35.What is the author's attitude towards Al's influence on human art? A.Slightly critical. B.Decply concemed. C.Overly enthusiastic. D.Cautiously optimistic 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。 A map gives you certainty.You can hold it in your hands,follow its borders,and know exactly where it ends.A scientific theory tells a different story.36 And that is precisely what makes science possible. Newton's laws of motion are a perfect example.For more than two centuries,they explained the physical world with remarkable accuracy.37 However,then came relativity and quantum mechanics ()They revealed that Newton's laws of motion only apply on a specific scale:the slow-moving, everyday world.Newton was not wrong.His theory simply had a limited field of applicability.Within that field,it remains as reliable today as ever. 38 Instead.they are redefined.As our knowledge expands,we identify the conditions under which a theory applies and where it no longer does.The difficulty is that those boundaries cannot be predicted beforehand.A theory appears complete until an unexpected observation can no longer be explained by it. Here lies the paradox (of science.Every theory works until it doesn't.What seems like a complete explanation today may simply be one that has not yet encountered the exception that challenges it. Every scientific breakthrough reveals a new truth.39 People are naturally attracted to the dream of a single theory that explains everything.Yet that ideal is probably beyond our reach.40 The willingness to acknowledge ignorance,welcome uncertainty,and accept the possibility of being wrong is what keeps science alive. A.Its boundaries are hidden. B.Each discovery leaves its mark. C.Great theories are rarely overthrown. D.It also reminds us that no theory is final. E.After all,every breakthrough began with creativity F.Science advances because it remains open to revision. G.Many believed that the ultimate theory had been discovered. 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。 I used to spend years searching for passion. 41.A.convinced B.respectful Everyone around me seemed so 41 of their C.protective D.considerate direction,but I kept jumping from one to another, 42.A.turn back B.slow up never able to 42.

First came the data comparing foot traffic and showing sales in each area.Next,he stopped for a while, letting the new restaurant design sink in.The flagship restaurant featured clean white walls decorated with uniform artwork.There was an open kitchen,self-service ordering machines,and a separate area for takeout food.Every part of the space was designed to be as efficient as possible. Then came the public comment period.Maggie,the owner of Harbor Diner,which had been there for 烟 28 years,spoke about how these family-run shops held the community together.Several other shop owners spoke after her,saying much the same thing-memories,emotions,and community bonds.Miles listened 鸣 politely,but his opinion remained unchanged.He thought they were just afraid of change. As required by regulations,the planning department had to conduct a site visit.Miles chose an 智 ordinary Wednesday afternoon and went to Harbor Diner.Barely five minutes after he sat down,a man in work boots pushed through the door.Before he could say a word,Maggie called toward the kitchen, "Bacon cheeseburger,chili fries,black coffee!"The man smiled,nodded,and headed straight for his regular seat.He moved as naturally as if he were walking into his own dining room. Miles looked around,his eyes moving slowly across the wall.There were yellowed photos of the Maple Street Little League team from twenty years ago,the players smiling proudly behind a trophy () There was also a poster for a lost orange cat.And a handwritten note said,"Mrs.Henderson's piano Lessons.Beginners welcome." 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右。 (2)请按如下格式作答。 Back in his office,something began to shift in his mind. Two months later,Miles presented his new plan in the same city council room.
