My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic ” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.
4. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1
A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine.
C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
5. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______.
A. a plus. B. a leisure. C. a distraction. D. a burden.
6. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her
A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training.
C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare.
7. What message does the author want to convey
A. Follow the beaten track to success. B. A picture is worth a thousand words.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. Two strings to your bow light the way.
C
In 1961, MIT meteorologist Edward Lorenz was inputting numbers into a weather prediction program. His model was based on a dozen variables, the value of one being 0.506127. When he ran the model again, he rounded that number to 0.506, and then left the room to grab a coffee. When he came back, he discovered this tiny change had resulted in a dramatically different weather prediction.
When presenting his groundbreaking model of chaos and the potential of extreme chaotic unpredictability at the 1972 meeting, Lorenz posed the question: “Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas ”
Richard ·A· Anthes, former president of the University Corporation, says Lorenz was illustrating how, “in a system of apparently simple mathematical equations (方程式), a tiny change in the initial position of the particle can cause huge changes in its future position.” This analogy, so simply and beautifully expressed with Lorenz’s fascinating metaphor (隐喻), captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike.
The butterfly effect “disrupted science at a philosophical level, showing that modeling the future is only predictable to an extent”, explains Bo-Wen Shen, an associate professor at San Diego State University. Shen thinks this is because the idea that even the slightest changes may have significant impacts offers hope to individuals, encouraging them to take small actions that could have a profound and positive effect.
The concept has been the subject of films and social media where people shared their butterfly effect stories: seemingly random events — a car breaking down, a missed train, a broken shoe — that lead to significant moments in their life. These stories often misunderstand Lorenz’s original concept and more accurately describe a coincidence. The main disconnect lies in the belief that the ability of a tiny change to create an organized disturbance at large distances is a real phenomenon.
Tim Palmer, a climate physics professor at Oxford, argues that Lorenz’s butterfly effect illustrates how weather emerges from independent atmospheric patterns interacting in fleeting (闪现的), collective ways. In 2017, he said we could imagine weather like a set of Russian dolls: a large low-pressure system holds turbulent thunderstorms, which contain smaller clouds and eddies (漩涡), with even tinier eddies inside. His idea about how to understand the butterfly effect is “there are limited predictability horizons which cannot be extended by reducing uncertainty in initial conditions”.
Shen says the butterfly effect is best illustrated using this proverb-like folktale by poet George Herbert in 1640:
“For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.
For want of a horse, the rider was lost.
For want of a rider, the battle was lost.
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.”
8. What did Lorenz find when coming back from grabbing a coffee
A. One of the variables was rounded off.
B. His lab would have to run a model again.
C. He had made a mistake in entering numbers.
D. A tiny change led to an entirely different outcome.
9. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Real life examples for the public.
B. The significance of the butterfly effect.
C. The influence of the butterfly effect.
D. The misunderstanding of the butterfly effect.
10. What does the underlined word “turbulent” probably mean in the 6th paragraph
A. Lasting. B. Disordered. C. Predictable. D. Imaginary.
11. What can we learn about the butterfly effect from the passage
A. It shows metaphorically how tiny details can reshape future.
B. Its popularity improves people’s awareness of coincidence.
C. It contributes greatly to the precision of modelling the future.
D. Improving its initial data helps extend weather predictability.
D
Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you’re more free-spirited and artistic If you’re the former, somebody’s probably told you at some point that you’re a left-brained person, and if you’re the latter, right-brained. The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction.
Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there’s no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half. Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance. Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person
If there’s no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it Perhaps it just makes intuitive (直觉的) sense that people’s brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are. It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.
When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive. The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial (合意的). After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical” The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves.
12. Which is a common belief about people’s individual characteristics
A. A logical thinker is right-brained.
B. An artist and poet is left-brained.
C. The dominant half of the brain determines one’s characteristics.
D. The dominant half of the brain is not related to one’s characteristics.
13. Why does the author mention mathematics in paragraph 2
A. To contradict a popular belief.
B. To show math is a logical subject.
C. To emphasize the significance of creativity.
D. To highlight the importance of logical thinking.
14 Why do many people believe in the left-brain/right-brain theory
A. This theory is widespread and popular.
B. It provides a way for them to sort personalities.
C. Scientific studies have already confirmed its accuracy.
D. Brain imaging technique has shown hemispheric differences.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Why Are Left-Brained People Smarter
B. The Science of Math: Left or Right Brain
C. The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance
D. Ways to Develop Logical and Creative Thinking
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One of the most common mistakes people make when trying to improve their health is attempting too many sudden and great changes. Crash diets, extreme workout plans, or sudden sleep adjustments often fail because they’re unsustainable. ____16____ Here are some practical yet powerful tips to help you:
Start with small, achievable goals.
____17____ For example, they hope to run 5 miles daily without prior training. Instead, they should begin with manageable steps — take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do 10 minutes of stretching each morning. These minor adjustments prevent burnout while steadily improving your strength and endurance.
____18____
Being too strict with what one eats often backfires. This often leads to quick weight regain and frustration. Instead of banning foods, focus on adding more whole, nutrient-rich options like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. For example, swap soda for sparkling water with lemon, or replace white bread with whole-grain alternatives. Small, sustainable changes lead to lasting results without the frustration of yo-yo dieting.
Prioritize sleep for overall well-being.
In today’s fast-paced world, sleep is often sacrificed for productivity or entertainment. ____19____ Sleep deprivation weakens immunity, increases stress hormones, and even contributes to weight gain. To improve sleep quality, establish a calming bedtime routine — dim the lights, avoid screens an hour before bed, and keep a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends.
Stay active throughout the day.
Sitting for long periods is linked to poor circulation, back pain, and metabolic issues. If you have a desk job, set reminders to stand up and move every hour. ____20____ Simple activities like walking during phone calls or doing light stretches can boost energy, improve posture, and enhance mental clarity.
A. Be consistent rather than extreme.
B. Focus on nutrition, not just dieting.
C. Listen to your body’s needs and adjust accordingly.
D. It can help reduce stress and improves circulation.
E. The best habits are those you can maintain without feeling deprived.
F. Many people get discouraged because they start with too high goals.
G. You might think you can go with little of it, but your body pays the price.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The first time we set eyes on “Big Red”, father, Frank, mother, Mary and I were on our way home. As we passed the Eaton’s department store’s window, we stopped as usual to have a look and do a bit of dreaming.
The beautifully decorated window display held the best toys ever. There were dolls much too pretty to play with. And they all lay beneath a surprisingly fantastic dress. Mother’s eyes were glued to its shining red satin (缎子).
“My goodness,” she whispered. “Look at that!” Then, mother looked down at her own coat-she had worn the heavy grey wool coat every winter for as long as I could remember. Mom was forever doing chores-washing laundry, tending the pigs and working in the garden-so she always wore housedresses and an apron (围裙) to protect the front. She did have one or two “special” dresses saved for church on Sundays. Also, she managed to make almost all of our clothes. They weren’t fancy, but they were comfortable.
“What a silly dress!” She shook her head. “Who on earth would want such a big dress ” As we continued down the street, mother turned her head for one more look. “My goodness! You’d think they’d display something a person could use!”
Mother’s Day was nearing, and the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, of all people, was not one to spend money on items that were not practical. “There are things we need more than this.” She’d always say. Choosing a gift for Mother’s Day for her was quite hard. When Dad and I asked, she thought carefully then asked for some tea towels, face cloths or a new basin.
On our last trip to town before Mother’s Day, we were driving up Main Street when Mother suddenly shouted in surprise: “Look!” She pointed excitedly as Dad drove past Eaton’s. “That big red dress is gone,” she said in disbelief. “Who’d be fool enough to buy such a dress ” Mother questioned, shaking her head. I was almost certain that I noticed a trace of longing (一丝渴望) in her voice.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On Mother’s Day, a box wrapped “Eaton’s Finest Basin” was delivered to our house.

My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic ” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.
4. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1
A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine.
C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
5. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______.
A. a plus. B. a leisure. C. a distraction. D. a burden.
6. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her
A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training.
C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare.
7. What message does the author want to convey
A. Follow the beaten track to success. B. A picture is worth a thousand words.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. Two strings to your bow light the way.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
C
In 1961, MIT meteorologist Edward Lorenz was inputting numbers into a weather prediction program. His model was based on a dozen variables, the value of one being 0.506127. When he ran the model again, he rounded that number to 0.506, and then left the room to grab a coffee. When he came back, he discovered this tiny change had resulted in a dramatically different weather prediction.
When presenting his groundbreaking model of chaos and the potential of extreme chaotic unpredictability at the 1972 meeting, Lorenz posed the question: “Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas ”
Richard ·A· Anthes, former president of the University Corporation, says Lorenz was illustrating how, “in a system of apparently simple mathematical equations (方程式), a tiny change in the initial position of the particle can cause huge changes in its future position.” This analogy, so simply and beautifully expressed with Lorenz’s fascinating metaphor (隐喻), captured the imaginations of scientists and the public alike.
The butterfly effect “disrupted science at a philosophical level, showing that modeling the future is only predictable to an extent”, explains Bo-Wen Shen, an associate professor at San Diego State University. Shen thinks this is because the idea that even the slightest changes may have significant impacts offers hope to individuals, encouraging them to take small actions that could have a profound and positive effect.
The concept has been the subject of films and social media where people shared their butterfly effect stories: seemingly random events — a car breaking down, a missed train, a broken shoe — that lead to significant moments in their life. These stories often misunderstand Lorenz’s original concept and more accurately describe a coincidence. The main disconnect lies in the belief that the ability of a tiny change to create an organized disturbance at large distances is a real phenomenon.
Tim Palmer, a climate physics professor at Oxford, argues that Lorenz’s butterfly effect illustrates how weather emerges from independent atmospheric patterns interacting in fleeting (闪现的), collective ways. In 2017, he said we could imagine weather like a set of Russian dolls: a large low-pressure system holds turbulent thunderstorms, which contain smaller clouds and eddies (漩涡), with even tinier eddies inside. His idea about how to understand the butterfly effect is “there are limited predictability horizons which cannot be extended by reducing uncertainty in initial conditions”.
Shen says the butterfly effect is best illustrated using this proverb-like folktale by poet George Herbert in 1640:
“For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.
For want of a horse, the rider was lost.
For want of a rider, the battle was lost.
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.”
8. What did Lorenz find when coming back from grabbing a coffee
A. One of the variables was rounded off.
B. His lab would have to run a model again.
C. He had made a mistake in entering numbers.
D. A tiny change led to an entirely different outcome.
9. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Real life examples for the public.
B. The significance of the butterfly effect.
C. The influence of the butterfly effect.
D. The misunderstanding of the butterfly effect.
10. What does the underlined word “turbulent” probably mean in the 6th paragraph
A. Lasting. B. Disordered. C. Predictable. D. Imaginary.
11. What can we learn about the butterfly effect from the passage
A. It shows metaphorically how tiny details can reshape future.
B. Its popularity improves people’s awareness of coincidence.
C. It contributes greatly to the precision of modelling the future.
D. Improving its initial data helps extend weather predictability.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A
D
Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you’re more free-spirited and artistic If you’re the former, somebody’s probably told you at some point that you’re a left-brained person, and if you’re the latter, right-brained. The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction.
Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there’s no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half. Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance. Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person
If there’s no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it Perhaps it just makes intuitive (直觉的) sense that people’s brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are. It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.
When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive. The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial (合意的). After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical” The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves.
12. Which is a common belief about people’s individual characteristics
A. A logical thinker is right-brained.
B. An artist and poet is left-brained.
C. The dominant half of the brain determines one’s characteristics.
D. The dominant half of the brain is not related to one’s characteristics.
13. Why does the author mention mathematics in paragraph 2
A. To contradict a popular belief.
B. To show math is a logical subject.
C. To emphasize the significance of creativity.
D. To highlight the importance of logical thinking.
14 Why do many people believe in the left-brain/right-brain theory
A. This theory is widespread and popular.
B. It provides a way for them to sort personalities.
C. Scientific studies have already confirmed its accuracy.
D. Brain imaging technique has shown hemispheric differences.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Why Are Left-Brained People Smarter
B. The Science of Math: Left or Right Brain
C. The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance
D. Ways to Develop Logical and Creative Thinking
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C

One of the most common mistakes people make when trying to improve their health is attempting too many sudden and great changes. Crash diets, extreme workout plans, or sudden sleep adjustments often fail because they’re unsustainable. ____16____ Here are some practical yet powerful tips to help you:
Start with small, achievable goals.
____17____ For example, they hope to run 5 miles daily without prior training. Instead, they should begin with manageable steps — take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do 10 minutes of stretching each morning. These minor adjustments prevent burnout while steadily improving your strength and endurance.
____18____
Being too strict with what one eats often backfires. This often leads to quick weight regain and frustration. Instead of banning foods, focus on adding more whole, nutrient-rich options like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. For example, swap soda for sparkling water with lemon, or replace white bread with whole-grain alternatives. Small, sustainable changes lead to lasting results without the frustration of yo-yo dieting.
Prioritize sleep for overall well-being.
In today’s fast-paced world, sleep is often sacrificed for productivity or entertainment. ____19____ Sleep deprivation weakens immunity, increases stress hormones, and even contributes to weight gain. To improve sleep quality, establish a calming bedtime routine — dim the lights, avoid screens an hour before bed, and keep a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends.
Stay active throughout the day.
Sitting for long periods is linked to poor circulation, back pain, and metabolic issues. If you have a desk job, set reminders to stand up and move every hour. ____20____ Simple activities like walking during phone calls or doing light stretches can boost energy, improve posture, and enhance mental clarity.
A. Be consistent rather than extreme.
B. Focus on nutrition, not just dieting.
C. Listen to your body’s needs and adjust accordingly.
D. It can help reduce stress and improves circulation.
E. The best habits are those you can maintain without feeling deprived.
F. Many people get discouraged because they start with too high goals.
G. You might think you can go with little of it, but your body pays the price.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The first time we set eyes on “Big Red”, father, Frank, mother, Mary and I were on our way home. As we passed the Eaton’s department store’s window, we stopped as usual to have a look and do a bit of dreaming.
The beautifully decorated window display held the best toys ever. There were dolls much too pretty to play with. And they all lay beneath a surprisingly fantastic dress. Mother’s eyes were glued to its shining red satin (缎子).
“My goodness,” she whispered. “Look at that!” Then, mother looked down at her own coat-she had worn the heavy grey wool coat every winter for as long as I could remember. Mom was forever doing chores-washing laundry, tending the pigs and working in the garden-so she always wore housedresses and an apron (围裙) to protect the front. She did have one or two “special” dresses saved for church on Sundays. Also, she managed to make almost all of our clothes. They weren’t fancy, but they were comfortable.
“What a silly dress!” She shook her head. “Who on earth would want such a big dress ” As we continued down the street, mother turned her head for one more look. “My goodness! You’d think they’d display something a person could use!”
Mother’s Day was nearing, and the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, of all people, was not one to spend money on items that were not practical. “There are things we need more than this.” She’d always say. Choosing a gift for Mother’s Day for her was quite hard. When Dad and I asked, she thought carefully then asked for some tea towels, face cloths or a new basin.
On our last trip to town before Mother’s Day, we were driving up Main Street when Mother suddenly shouted in surprise: “Look!” She pointed excitedly as Dad drove past Eaton’s. “That big red dress is gone,” she said in disbelief. “Who’d be fool enough to buy such a dress ” Mother questioned, shaking her head. I was almost certain that I noticed a trace of longing (一丝渴望) in her voice.

【答案】参考范文：
On Mother’s Day, a box wrapped “Eaton’s Finest Basin” was delivered to our house. “Oh Frank,” she praised, “just what I wanted” Dad was sitting in the chair, a huge grin on his face. “Only a fool wouldn’t give a priceless wife like mine exactly what she wants for Mother’s Day.” he laughed. “Go ahead, open it up and make sure there are no chips.” Mother quietly opened the box to find a big white dishpan— overflowing with deep red satin across her lap. With her hands trembling, she touched the elegant material of the Big Red.
“Oh Frank…” She choked up, tears welling up in her eyes. Her face was as bright as the star that twinkled on our tree in the corner of the small room. Her faint attempt at scolding came “You shouldn’t have…” Dad smiled. “Let’s see if it fits,” he laughed, helping her put on the marvelous dress over her shoulders. I watched in surprise, attracted by the beauty of my mother I had never noticed before. “You look beautiful,” my dad whispered to my mom— and she surely did!
