Growing up, interest and enjoyment in learning were not important to my parents, and therefore not to me; only good grades mattered. I chose chemistry because it seemed like a path to varied possible professional futures. Learning chemistry wasn’t boring, but I did not love my subject.
When deciding what to do after finishing my undergraduate degree, I was largely driven by a desire for financial (财务的) independence. While exploring the job market, I found most asked for a master’s. I was offered a spot in a graduate program and decided to do it. It came with the opportunity to continue to a Ph.D., but I never saw a Ph.D. as my likely direction.
However, in my second year, during a lab project, my doubts about a Ph.D. began to give way. I spent a lot of time in the lab and never felt bored. I even started to prefer experiments over classes. Working in the lab seemed much more satisfying than scoring well on exams. I began to wonder: was there a place in academia for someone like me, without an inborn passion for science
As my master’s was drawing to a close, I became restless. My scores positioned me well for hiring — a valuable opportunity I didn’t want to miss. Everyone advised against a Ph.D., arguing for better pay and easier work outside academia. But my interest in research kept growing, and I didn’t want to live with “what if ”. I backed out and chose the Ph.D..
There are ups and downs, but it just feels right to start each day in the lab, learning something new. My career choice gives me confidence to follow my own direction instead of others’ expectations.
Having started my career as an “unwilling” chemist, I am yet to announce my love for what I do. But I try to solve problems for my own satisfaction. That makes me no less capable than other chemists, and no less worthy of a space in science.
34. What led the author to pick chemistry as a field of study
A. Strong performance in exams. B. Desire for broad career possibilities.
C. Passion for hands- on research. D. Determination for a place in academia.
35. What was the author unsure about as his master’s program approached completion
A. How to balance research with financial independence.
B Whether to focus on lab work or academic achievements.
C. How to balance a love for experiments with the dream to be a Ph.
D. Whether to follow his academic interest or accept a well-paying job.
36. Why does the author describe himself as an “unwilling” chemist
A. He hates to be a chemist.
B. He suffers from learning chemistry.
C. He didn’t choose chemistry out of pure love.
D. He became a chemist by following others’ advice.
37. What can we learn from this passage
A. Fortune favors the patient. B. Passion can grow with experience.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Self-belief turns hesitation into strength.
C
In his book Homo Deus, writer Yuval Noah Harari asks, “Are creatures just programs and is life just data processing ” Could the human mind one day be downloaded onto a computer This existential, unsettling idea is key to Anti- Body, a new dance work from the Alexander Whitley Dance Company.
At a recent practice, I saw three dancers standing behind screens. Motion-capture (动作捕捉) sensors attached to their bodies pick up their routines and the movement data is sent to a computer. The technology creates a series of visuals on the screens, ranging from 3D cell-like images to human-like avatars, all shifting in real time in response to the dancers’ movements.
The dancers’ control of the visuals is a nod to our increasing reliance on technology and how this bridges the physical and digital worlds. “Our actions take effect far beyond the immediate presence of our bodies,” explains Alexander Whitley, the work’s artistic director. Who or what are we becoming, asks Whitley, in a post-human, real/ virtual world
The way technology reshapes our world may be unsettling, but Anti- Body feels more positive than that, with what motion capture can offer — art, creativity and self-expression. Whitley also wants to explore how the dancers’ movements influence the visuals, encouraging people to think about living beyond the physical limit of the body — welcome to the transhuman. In one scene, a dancer remotely (远程地) controls cell- like images that gradually develop into human- like avatars.
Anti-Body is an ambitious project, but the message may get a little lost in translation, with no dialogue or subtitles. Whitley, however, is unconcerned by the possibility that the audience will set about making their own interpretation of his dance piece. “There will always be ambiguity in understanding when working through dance,” he says.
While the dancing is obviously impressive, the movements are less showy and technically demanding than in a traditional ballet or modern dance performance. Whitley seems less concerned with showing off his composition talents by putting his dancers through their paces. After all, if the simplicity of the movements lets the screen visuals do the work, Whitley is then free to concentrate on conveying his messages.
So, audiences with modern and adventurous tastes should enjoy the composition. But the big draw for many will be the “dancing” visuals more than the talented physical dancers themselves. As a more traditional dance fan, I think I will stick to Swan Lake. Regardless of different preferences, perhaps the most pressing question this experience leaves us with, however, extends beyond the stage and focuses on a new take on transhumanism or how the digital world will influence our life.
38. The author quotes Yuval Noah Harari’s question mainly to ________.
A. introduce the topic B. draw a comparison
C. support an argument D. make an assumption
39. What does the word “ambiguity” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Agreement. B. Disbelief. C. Uncertainty. D. Guidance.
40. What can we learn from this passage
A. It’s hard to unite the physical world and the digital world.
B. Motion capture translates the dancers’ moves into live visuals.
C. Modern and experimental performances attract more audiences.
D. Alexander Whitley favors technically demanding dance routines.
41. It is implied in this passage that we should ________.
A. create virtual avatars for our material bodies
B. use motion capture in all future dance productions
C demand clearer explanations in experimental dance works
D. reconsider what it means to be human in a digital age
D
“If you can in one day renew yourself, do so everyday”, declared Shang Dynasty founder Cheng Tang. This is a nice motto to live by, and certainly more romantic than American poet Ezra Pound’s “Make it New”, a catchphrase of the modernist movement.
Most of us tend to fight change and seek stability, yet as French philosopher Henry Bergson notes, “life is endlessly continued creation.” We notice change only when it’s sudden and final, like when we change careers, or sell our forever home. But Bergson argues that change is everlasting, not just in these moments. Our past follows us at every instant and leans over the present, and the direction it takes is “new, unique, and unforeseen”.
It is a comforting thought that we press upon our future at every moment in totally novel ways. But it also helps explain the quiet sadness we feel when life is going well, just like trying to hold onto sand falling through one’s fingers. Bergson didn’t like “clock time” — the mechanical ticking of seconds. He preferred “duration”, where time flows continuously, rather than a series of separated moments. We are the dancer who moves through time, making it up as she goes along.
Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus acknowledged that the only unchanging force in life is change. Driving this process of change is the tension of opposites such as life and death, day and night, wet and dry. Struggle and disagreement are important to the creation of new things; creativity arises from the dynamic interplay of opposing forces.
Similarly, the Taijim (Yin-Yang symbol) represents such interplay. Yin is connected with qualities like darkness, the moon, and the earth. Yang is connected with qualities such as light, the sun, and heaven. The combined pattern indicates that they are interdependent, out of which arises a stable balance.
Like most crossroads in life — “Should I put my money in a high- risk investment or play it safe ”, or “Should I settle down or keep exploring ” — the internal struggle is full of tension. But it's this tension that brings about new ideas, new plans, new destiny.
Pound’s cry to “Make it New” is happening to us whether we like it or not. We have no choice but to ride along this current of never-ending newness. As Alan Watts says “The only way to make sense out of change is to dive into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
42. According to the passage, Henri Bergson believes ________.
A. change in life comes from major events
B. time is best understood as a series of fixed points
C. our past shapes the present and future unpredictably
D. “clock time” can explain the interplay of opposing forces
43. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Tension of opposites generates creativity.
B. True existence lies in stability and control.
C. “Make it new” promotes seeking a new lifestyle.
D. The independence of Yin and Yang leads to balance.
44. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Striking a Balance: Flowing with the Present
B. The Current of Newness: Fighting Opposing Forces
C. The Dance of Change: Welcoming Daily Renewal
D. Enlightening the Future: Returning to Ancient Wisdom
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression ____45____ However, it is more likely that this is the chameleon effect at play.
____46____ Just as a chameleon fits into the background to match any environment’s colours, people acquire the behaviours of others to help make their communications smooth.
The chameleon effect was first proved by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The first of their experiments included 78 volunteers, who each spoke with an experimenter they had never met before. ____47____ Results showed that their face touching increased by 20% and their foot movement by 50% during the conversation.
Their second experiment measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being copied. Half of the participants were copied by the experimenter during their interaction and later asked to rate the experimenter’s likeability. ____48____
Research like this suggests that when someone copies our behaviour, we develop more positive feelings about them. These reactions could be a person willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection. However, too much of the chameleon effect can be damaging. ____49____ When this happens, people can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected. But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to spot.
Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around for slight mirroring gestures, and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.
A. It may seem like they have intentionally copied you.
B. Those who were copied scored the experimenter higher.
C. The chameleon effect is the unintentional copying of another’s gestures.
D. The researchers observed if participants would copy a stranger’s gestures.
E. Outgoing people may feel more stressed and exhausted when fitting into their jobs.
F. Have you responded similarly when your friend tells you something in an excitable manner
G. Some people carry this feature too far, causing them to obviously change in different situations.

第一节(共4小题；第50、51题各2分，第52题3分，第53题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
We all have secrets, whether we want them or not. What makes up a secret is quite personal — some people hold certain information close to their hearts that others are very open about. Sometimes whether something is a secret to us or not is determined by our cultural and environmental experiences, and our relationships. Simply, a secret is something that you don’t want other people to know.
Imagine a common situation where your friend approach and whisper to you, “Can you keep a secret ” Naturally, you respond with a “yes”. There’s something about telling secrets that feels close, as it connects you to another person through shared knowledge. However, secrets are tricky things. Whether they’re our own or they’ve been shared with us by someone else, they can start to get heavy over time and could become an unwanted weight on our minds.
One study, The Benefits and Burdens of Keeping Others’ secrets, says, “The closer one is to the secret-sharer, the more one’s mind wanders toward the secret, predicting increased feelings of closeness, but also burden. The more a secret has connection with one's own social network, the more one keeps the secret on the other’s behalf, predicting increased feelings of burden.”
Given that, before you start sharing secrets, whether yours or someone else’s, take a moment to think about the potential consequences. Are you handing over a burden to someone else, who might not want it How will you feel about someone else knowing one of your deepest secrets What will happen if you share a friend’s secret with someone else, and how will they react Sometimes all you need is to take a moment and think before you speak; your inner voice will drive you in deciding whether to tell others your secrets or keep them locked inside.
50. What determines whether something is a secret to us
________________________________________________________________________________
51. Why can sharing secrets make people feel close
________________________________________________________________________________
52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The closer you are with someone who has a secret, the more your thoughts wander toward the secret, which may increase the sense of closeness without adding to the burden.
________________________________________________________________________________
53. Do you think keeping secrets for others is a burden or a joy Give your reasons. (In about 40 words)

53. 1) Keeping secrets for others is a joy for me. When close friends confide in me about personal challenges, keeping their secrets can show my support and respect for them. It also gives me the opportunity to offer help and understanding, which in turn deepens our friendships.

第二节(20分)
【54题答案】
【答案】Dear Jim,
How’s everything going I'm writing to share a small but transformative change I’ve made in my studies — I’ve switched to using mind maps for note-taking. Let me explain how this simple shift has helped me through my learning.
In the past, when doing listening exercises, I used to take down some isolated phrases from the English listening materials. But when I tried mind maps, everything shifted. This visual web doesn’t just organize facts — it reveals connections I’ve never noticed before, and transforms audio clips into clear, structured and meaningful ideas. This approach has not only boosted my memory but also sparked my creativity.
How about you Any “mind map moments” in your studies
Yours,
Li Hua
