It was my first academic conference as a Ph. D. student, and I should have been excited. It was a chance to show my research and meet new people. However, I stayed by the coffee station, too nervous to talk to anyone. I wanted to make connections, but I was afraid of being awkward or not important. By the end of the day, my business cards were still in my pocket. I was relieved it was over, but I also regretted missing another chance to make connections.
I’m reflective and observant by nature, someone who prefers quiet moments to the bustle (喧闹) of crowds. The idea of stepping into formal networking situations felt scary. When I started my Ph.D., I saw successful researchers worked with many people. I realized networking helped them. To succeed, I knew I needed to learn to network. It wasn’t easy. I tried at another conference with the best of intentions but still came up empty. My lab mate easily talked to someone and got invited to write a paper with a famous team. I stood there, right beside her — and yet, I let the moment slip by.
That’s when it hit me: Networking wasn’t about impressing everyone in the room. It was about speaking up, embracing a bit of vulnerability (脆弱), and finding value in even the smallest exchanges. I’d been waiting for the perfect words, the ideal opening, the “right” moment — but I realized those moments rarely arrive on their own. The key was to let go of perfection and instead seek connection.
So I started trying. I went to many events. At first, I was very nervous. My hands sweated, I forgot what to say, and my voice sometimes shook. I worried I sounded silly. But I kept trying. I hoped it would become easier.
And it did. I learned to focus on making real connections, not on perfect networking. I started with small talks. For example, I once chatted with another student in a lunch line. We talked about our research and laughed about how strange academic events can be. It wasn’t a big career step, but it was a real connection.
24. How did the author feel at his first conference
A. Eager to distribute all his business cards.
B. Anxious about interacting and stayed alone.
C. Excited and confident to present his research.
D. Disappointed by the quality of the coffee station.
25. What did the author realize about successful researchers
A. They always work hard and alone. B. Networking plays a key role in their success.
C. They never feel awkward in social situations. D. Attending every conference leads to their success.
26. What was essential for improving the author’s networking
A. Attending only the biggest events. B. Memorizing a business card script.
C. Focusing on connection rather than perfection. D. Waiting for the perfect networking opportunity.
27. What can we learn from the passage
A. Networking skills are more important than research abilities.
B. Academic success depends entirely on one’s ability to network.
C. Networking becomes effortless once you understand its principles.
D. Even small social interactions can be meaningful networking steps.

How does an organism like fungi (真菌) without a brain exhibit signs of intelligence The answer lies in their complex network of mycelium (菌丝体) — long and thin threads that fungi use to grow. Most people only see the tiny mushrooms above the ground and don’t know the extensive network that lies beneath.
The researchers engaged in a curious experiment. They wanted to see how a mycelial network would respond to two different situations: woodblocks placed in a circle versus a cross arrangement. The question was simple — how would the fungi behave In the cross arrangement, the further most four blocks were the most populated. The researchers believe this is because the fungi see these outer blocks as outposts (前哨站), helping the mycelial network branch out into further areas. Hence, thick connections were noticed here. When it came to the circle arrangement, there was equal connection at all blocks, but the center remained untouched. The fungi did not see a benefit in extending its network into an area that already had plenty of company. These actions suggest that fungi communicate information across the entire mycelial network, adjusting their growth direction depending on their surrounding shape.
Fungi exhibit remarkable efficiency when it comes to resource allocation, a skill essential for their survival and growth. This ability to optimize resources is a result of complex feedback mechanisms and environmental assessments conducted by the mycelial network. Researchers claim that fungi prioritize areas with abundant resources, indicating an advanced understanding of their surroundings. In resource-rich zones, mycelium growth accelerates, capturing nutrients and storing them for future use. This practice not only ensures the fungi thrive in unstable environments but also highlights their ecological significance as decomposers (分解器) and nutrient recyclers.
The unique problem-solving abilities and efficient networking strategies of fungi have inspired innovations in human technology. Scientists are exploring mycelial algorithms (算法) to develop more efficient networks, such as urban planning and telecommunications systems. The fungi’s extraordinary capacity to communicate and coordinate across their networks offers insights into creating sustainable systems. By imitating their resource allocation methods, researchers a I m to create solutions that enhance human infrastructure (基础建设) leading to smarter and more adaptive frameworks.
28. What can we learn about fungi
A. They are an indicator of their ecological surroundings.
B. They can make use of all available resources around them.
C. They display their unique ability to respond to the environment.
D. They can adjust their growth rate based on their surrounding shape.
29 What does the underlined word “optimize” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A. Make the best of. B. Figure out. C. Pay attention to. D. Look for.
30. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on
A. Unfound capabilities of fungi.
B. The potential market for fungi.
C. Fungi’s inspiration for human technology.
D. The limitation of the experiment on fungi.
31. What would be a suitable title for this text
A. Nature: An Outdoor Classroom
B. A Glimpse into the World of Fungi
C. Networking challenge of Fungi in Nature
D. An Intelligent Ability Discovered in Fungi

Art has always been the silent language of human culture. Art is more than just a form of creative expression; it is a vivid reflection of our cultural identity. Each painting sculpture, dance, or piece of music tells a story about who we are as individuals and as a collective society. It reveals our shared values, beliefs, traditions, and history, giving us a sense of belonging and connection. In this ever-developing world, art plays a critical role in preserving our cultural identity, providing a link between our past and our present, and shaping our future.
Cultural identity is a complex construction, intertwined (缠绕) with our self-concept and social relations. It is not merely a fixed trait, but rather a developing narrative that is modeled by both our heritage and our personal experiences. Cultural identity provides us with a sense of belonging, and it influences our values, beliefs, and attitudes, shaping our perspectives of the world around us. Art and culture are inseparable; they impact and shape each other. Art can preserve and pass on cultural traditions, while culture can inspire and influence art. The relationship between the two is symbiotic (共生的), enhancing-and developing over time.
From the hieroglyphics (象形文字) of ancient Egypt to the theater of classical Greece, art has been an essential part of cultural expression and preservation. Through different mediums and techniques various societies have used art to capture their distinct cultural narratives. The ancient Egyptians employed hieroglyphics and sculptures as significant means of artistic expression. The Greeks, known for their profound contributions to art and culture, used pottery and theater to convey their societal values and beliefs, which preserve a snapshot (缩影) of their society at that time. Greek theater, which included both tragedy and comedy, was not just entertainment — it served as a group event that addressed social, political, and moral issues, fostering a collective cultural identity.
The historical art forms of different cultures continue to affect modern art. Many societies maintain their cultural identity by keeping their traditional art forms alive. These art forms are passed down through generations, often with little change, preserving the historical culture’s essence. However, adaptation is the key aspect of cultural evolution. Artists often blend traditional styles with modern elements, creating a fusion (融合) that reflects both the culture’s historical roots and contemporary influences.
As we move further into the 21st century, the relationship between art and cultural identity continues to evolve. The future promises both challenges and opportunities for art in preserving cultural identity. Let’s start a journey to fancy what the future may hold for the intersection (交汇) of art and cultural identity.
32. According to the passage, cultural identity ______.
A. possesses both traditional and personal traits
B. provides a link between our past and present
C. produces common values and beliefs of humanity
D. consists of individual values and social connections
33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. How a collective cultural identity is fostered.
B. Different art mediums employed by the ancient Egyptians.
C. The real presentation of ancient human life in different art forms.
D. How culture was integrated into various art forms in ancient times.
34. What is the author’s intention of writing the text
A. To introduce the origin and development of art.
B. To highlight art’s importance in preserving cultural identity.
C. To show how cultural identity was expressed by art in the past.
D. To prove historical art forms’ contribution to cultural evolution.

第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。
Do you ever find yourself looking back on earlier times, remembering happy moments from the past Nostalgia is the feeling associated with remembering happiness in the past, which is often described as bittersweet. It is bitter because you long for things that are no more but sweet as you enjoy remembering your past happiness.
In today’s culture, expressions of nostalgia are becoming common. People share old social media posts remembering the good old days, buy products made years ago from secondhand stores and enjoy media that reminds them of their childhoods. Noticing these trends, companies are offering products similar to those of earlier decades, like classic video games adjusted for new consoles and new games imitating early video games. Social media platforms offer filters that can make pictures look like old photographs. Some restaurants feature some dishes from the 1970s. The popularity of these products shows that those people want to experience nostalgia.
This desire for nostalgia makes a lot of sense because this feeling has psychological benefits. It can improve a person’s mood and self-esteem, sometimes helping people handle difficult transitions in life. It can also help people connect with others as they share memories. But nostalgia can also lead to emotional problems. Focusing on the past can make people less satisfied with the present and make it harder to find motivation to improve their current situation. Nostalgia can also lead people to view earlier stages of life with rose-colored glasses. They may forget about or ignore past hardships, thinking only about the positive side of things.
How can you find a balance, remembering the past without letting it interfere (干扰) with the present Try to recognize and be grateful for the positives in your current situation. While remembering the past, reflect on lessons you’ve learned and ways you’ve grown over the years. Share these memories with others to deepen relationships by learning more about each other or bonding over shared experiences.
