Description
The instant New York Times bestseller.
End the struggle, speak up for what you need, and experience the freedom of being truly yourself.
Healthy boundaries. We all know we should have them in order to achieve work & life balance, deal with negative people, and enjoy rewarding relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what do “healthy boundaries” really mean—and how can we successfully express our needs, say “no,” and be decisive without offending others

In a relatable and inclusive tone, Set Boundaries, Find Peace presents simple-yet-powerful ways to set healthy boundaries in all aspects of life. Rooted in the latest research and best practices used in cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT), these techniques help us identify and express our needs clearly and without apology-and uncover a root problem behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more.

Last summer, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris, carrying her beloved erhu—a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument that was passed down from her grandmother. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation.
During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking(拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.
As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous (有活力的) melodies.
What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict; they compose something entirely new.
34. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris
A. To share Chinese music culture. B. To give it to her friend as a present.
C. To display it at a local studio. D. To teach students full-time.
35. What contributed to the lasting cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre
A. Their common and deep love for traditional Chinese music.
B. Their successful performance and inspiration from each other’s music.
C. The opportunity to participate in the Bastille Day celebration together.
D. The desire to teach music in a virtual way to students around the world.
36. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience
A. It reflected the beauty of nature wonderfully.
B. It featured traditional Chinese folk performance.
C. It was a musical handshake between civilizations.
D. It was an excellent musical instrument exhibition.
37. Which might be the most suitable title for the text
A. A Musical Journey Across Continents
B. The Journey of Traditional Instruments
C. Cultural Exchange in Paris: A Summer Adventure
D. Silk Road Echoes: Bridging Cultures Through Music
C
A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry VIII a good king ” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself.
Partly for this reason, books that communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will engage many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.
If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine (疫苗), is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths.
Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand.
38．What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A．impressed B．inspired
C．confused D．amused
39．What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author
A．It casts light on math thoughts.
B．It covers various topics.
C．It makes sense to ordinary people.
D．It satisfies maths professionals.
40．Why does the author mention Bayes’s theorem in paragraph 3
A．To prove the reliability of intuition.
B．To reveal the book’s academic nature.
C．To underline the deep truth of judgement.
D．To demonstrate Spiegelhalter’s writing approach.
41．What is the author’s attitude toward Spiegelhalter’s writing style
A. Critical of its oversimplification.
B. Admiring of its clarity and accessibility.
C. Doubtful about its practical value.
D. Neutral toward its academic depth.
D
A watched pot never boils, but time has wings when you’re having fun. The familiar saying has a basis in solid science—our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world. Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time. New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer.
Martin Wiener, head of the research, says the finding helps reveal how the brain’s time-bending strategy allows it to process and remember more information. While what is actually happening in the brain when time seems to expand remains unclear, scientists suspect it may have something to do with helping the brain process more information in limited time.
This is especially relevant for the brain’s visual system which, subjected to information overload, has to rank in order of importance, allowing for limited resources. Recent research has shown some images are more naturally memorable than others.
To understand how this memorability of an image, along with a few simpler visual features such as scene size and disorder, might relate to our subjective sense of time, Wiener and his colleagues conducted related experiments, in which subjects were shown images with varying durations and were asked to categorize whether the length of time on the screen was either “short” or “long”. The next day they were given a surprise memory test to see which images they recalled seeing.
The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it. Besides, the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer, even if they were all presented for the same amount of time. To find the underlying factor, the team fed the same memorability-ranked images to a neural (神经的) network modeled after the brain’s visual system and found more memorable images were processed faster.
The explanation for why our brain’s faster processing would slow time is that it’s increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. Limited resources to process information may act as a sort of bottleneck, which the brain can widen when it needs to absorb more information, thus extending time.
42．What does the saying “A watched pot never boils” describe
A．The unnoticed passage of time B．The feeling that time hangs heavy.
C．The hardship of preparing cuisine. D．The perception that time is confusing.
43．How does the brain’s visual system handle information
A．By setting priorities. B．By comparing similar scenes.
C．By sorting randomly. D．By screening out complex images.
44．Which of the images seems to last longest if shown on the screen for an equal duration based on the study
A． B． C． D．
45．What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To contrast sayings with scientific findings
B. To explain visual features’ effect on memory
C. To describe brain’s information processing in time perception
D. To explore link between image memorability and subjective time
第二节 (5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空自处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you tend to talk too much, people undervalue what it is that you bring to the table, which means being too talkative can lead to issues with socializing and making friends. But how to be less talkative
46 .When the other person suggests that they want to talk, do something to show that they have your full, undivided attention. Close the book you’re reading or put down your phone and face your body towards them with open arms to show them that you’re ready to listen.
Think before you respond. Always try to think twice before you speak. 47 ,think about questions to ask that can grant you clarity. Avoid saying more than you have to be by taking a moment to reflect after the speaker asks you for your opinion.
Only speak on something when it is appropriate. Discuss what makes sense and try to stay away from examples that may seem irrelevant, unreasonable, and ambiguous. 48 , if you don’t know what you want to say. For example, “What does this mean Who can we hold responsible, how, and why ” This encourages others to speak more.
Keep conversations balanced by asking questions. In balanced conversations, people say what they have to say. Rather than talking until something comes up, balance the conversation by saying things like “Enough about me. What do you think ” and “I know we’ve been talking a lot about my opinion, I want to hear your opinion, too!” If you have a question about something or need clarification, don’t interrupt the person while they’re talking. 49 .
Practice staying on topic by challenging and recording yourself. Record yourself talking and see if you start to depart from the topic. 50 . Once you’re able to do that, try to make your point in 30 seconds. This exercise can help you stay on topic and avoid wandering.
Observe body language
Show your willingness to listen
Ask more investigative questions
If you are confused about the topic at hand
If you find yourself interrupting others or talking over them
Instead, wait for them to finish their thought and then respond
If so, challenge yourself to make your point in under one minute
