On a recent weekday, I sent an Instagram message to a friend of mine, an art adviser named Stephen Truax, to chat about an exhibition. Instead of messaging me back in the app, he texted me to say that he’d blocked Instagram on his smartphone during daytime working hours.
Impressed, I asked him how he was accomplishing such an achievement. Truax said he was using Opal, an app that makes your smartphone more like a so-called dumbphone (功能机). He said that several of his friends swore(发誓) by the app, and so he had begun using it, too. I took this word of mouth as evidence that it might actually work. I downloaded it without any particular optimism, considering my phone addiction an incurable case.
Opal provides something like gentle parenting for your smartphone habits: you set up a daily schedule of which apps to block, and then the app guides you into sticking with it. As the app suggested, I set up a“Work Time” block from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. and selected every social app I ever use. At the scheduled time, those apps go gray on my home screen and remain that way all day.
Every time I’m frustrated(挫败的) that I can’t look at Instagram on my phone, I just think, surely I, a human adult, can wait a few more hours to see my friends’ dog photos — 5 P.M. isn’t that far away. Crucially or importantly, Opal also allows users to suspend the block for short periods of time without feeling like failures; when the scheduled break time passes, the blockage automatically continues.
I find comfort in the fact that my mind feels clearer after a full workday without scrolling(滚动) social media, and an added bonus(奖励) is that once the block ends I can go through all the good posts that I missed. As Truax told me, “The flood of content that happens after dinner is wild.” The addiction is not cured, perhaps, but at least it’s finally managed.
24. What did Truax do after receiving the message from the author
A．He texted back. B．He replied in Opal.
C．He blocked Instagram. D．He chatted about the exhibition.
25. How did the author feel when downloading Opal
A．Disappointed B．Helpful. C．Pessimist D．Impressed.
26. What benefit does the author get from using Opal during work time
A. He can focus better on work. B. He can chat with friends freely.
C. He can avoid receiving any messages. D. He can discover new social apps
27. What can we learn from the text
A．Surfing the web makes the mind clearer. B．Practicing self-control deepens enjoyment.
C．It’s best to surf the latest news after supper. D．It is impossible to ease phone addiction.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Natural Healer(治疗师)
A Long-Standing Heritage
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a history that stretches back over 2,000 years. It originated in ancient China, deeply rooted in the country’s culture and philosophy. TCM sees the human body as a small universe, with all parts working together in harmony. It aims to keep this balance to maintain good health, rather than just treating diseases when they occur.
The Tools of TCM
One of the main aspects of TCM is herbal (药草) medicine. TCM uses a large number of plants, roots, and barks(树皮). These natural ingredients are often mixed in different combinations. For example, chrysanthemum(菊花) is used to clear heat and improve eyesight. These herbal mixtures can be made into teas, pills, or syrups (糖浆), treating various problems like coughs, fevers, and even some long-term health issues.
Acupuncture(针灸) is another well-known part of TCM. It involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are called acupoints. According to TCM theory, there are channels in the body through which a life force called “qi” flows. By stimulating the acupoints with needles, acupuncture can adjust the flow of qi. This helps relieve pain, such as headaches and joint pain, and also improves the body’s self-healing ability.
TCM’s Global Reach
In recent years, TCM has been gaining popularity around the world. In Western countries, more and more people are trying TCM treatments. They are attracted by its natural way of healing and its focus on the whole body. TCM offers an alternative to traditional Western medicine, especially for those who prefer a more natural approach or want to combine different medical methods.
28．How long has Traditional Chinese Medicine existed
A．About 1,000 years. B．Over 2,000 years.
C．Less than 500 years. D．Around 1,500 years.
29．What can herbal remedies in TCM treat
A．Only coughs. B．Only fevers.
C．Coughs, fevers, and long-term health problems. D．Only short-term diseases.
30．What is the function of acupuncture according to TCM theory
A．It can only relieve headaches.
B．It can adjust the flow of “qi” and improve the body’s self-healing ability.
C．It can make people stronger immediately.
D．It can only treat joint pain.
31．Why is TCM becoming popular worldwide
A．Because it is very cheap.
B．Because it uses needles.
C．Because of its natural healing approach and focus on the whole body.
D．Because it can cure all diseases quickly.
D
A team of conservationists (环境保护主义者) capture(捕获) 14 Loa water frogs earlier this month in northern Chile, a wildlife group reported.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the Loa water frog as “critically endangered”. The not-for-profit Global Wildlife Conservation group said the 14 frogs were in poor condition when they were discovered in late June. The animals were small and struggling because of a lack of food and water.
The Loa water frogs are known to live only in a single body of water near Calama, in Chile. The city sits in the middle of the Atacama Desert, where water is in great demand.
There was little water in the area where the frogs were found, the conservation group reported. The frogs’ environment had mostly dried up because water is being taken away and used for human activities, the group said. The activities include mining (矿业), agriculture and land development. “All of the frogs had been pushed into a tiny pool of muddy water,” the organization said. “The team collected the last 14 individuals and brought them to the National Zoo of Chile to start a conservation breeding (繁殖) program.”
Zoo specialists are closely watching the small creatures and trying to give them everything they need to survive and be healthy. Conservation groups have called on Chile’s government to take steps to halt any illegal water usage that threatens the frogs’ natural environment. They would also like to see creation of a government-supported shelter to protect the animals.
Jon Paul Rodriguez heads the IUCN’s Species Survival Commission. He suggested that an emergency plan be developed to prepare the Calama area for the frogs’ return.
“We need to work very hard to rebuild their environment because it’s pointless to breed them if they don’t have a home to go back to in the wild,” Rodriguez said.
32．What do we know about the frogs when they were rescued
A．They were looking for food. B．They were in good condition.
C．They were approaching death. D．They were moving for new water source.
33．What has made these frogs endangered
A．Lack of water. B．Air pollution.
C．Human hunting. D．Extreme climate.
34．What does the underlined word “halt” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Improve. B．Add. C．Change. D．Stop.
35．What did Jon Paul Rodriguez suggest humans do for these frogs
A．Keep them healthy. B．Recover their home.
C．Raise them in the shelter. D．Prevent them living in the wild.

In today’s world, complaints are becoming more common. 36 So, if you often find yourself complaining, it's important to break this habit for everyone's well-being(幸福). Here are some tips to help you stop complaining.
Focus on Observing, Not Judging
Complaining often comes from a judgmental mindset, where we see the world based on our own biases(偏见) and expectations. To reduce your complaining, shift your focus from judging to observing. Instead of being a judgmental commentator on life's events, try to avoid taking sides. 37
Address the Root Cause
If you frequently complain, it might be worth exploring why you’re so easily dissatisfied. 38 By addressing the basic problem of your dissatisfaction, you might find that things like the weather or politics aren’t worth complaining about.
Accept Stoicism（坚韧）
Many people mistake stoicism for simply weathering the storm with a brave face. But true stoicism includes managing feelings through reason. Before complaining, ask yourself if you can change the situation. 39 If you can, take action instead of wasting time complaining.
Avoid Negative Influences
40 Try to manage your personal life and control your media time to avoid negative influences. Remember, some people make a living by feeding on your sufferings. To further strengthen your resolve (决心), make a commitment to stop complaining and ask friends and family to remind you of this goal when they notice you complaining.
A．If not, complaining won’t help.
B．Improve your problem-solving skills
C．If it’s hard, just wait for others to solve it.
D．Surrounding yourself with negatives can encourage complaining.
E．But habitually complaining can harm both yourself and those around you.
F．Often, bigger problems are causing you to be impatient with smaller things.
G．This means admitting and accepting situations without immediately passing judgement.

67．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。
When I was sixteen, I was a rebellious (叛逆的) teenager, always seeking thrills(刺激) and often getting into trouble. One day, after a fight, I was suspended (使暂时停学) from school. My father, a man of few words but with a strong sense of discipline, decided that it was time for me to learn a hard lesson. The very next day, he took me to a construction site where he worked, and told me to start working.
It was a tough job. I had to carry heavy bricks and mix cement in the hot sun. My hands were hurt, and my back ached from the hard work. I had never worked so hard in my life, and the reality of manual labor hit me like a ton of bricks. I was used to the comfort of my school desk and the freedom after class. That was a sharp contrast, and it was a wake-up call.
As the days went by, I began to feel a deep sense of guilt. I knew I had let my parents down, and I had wasted the opportunities given to me. I was confused, unsure of what my future held. I started to think about the meaning and value of life. I realized that I had been taking my education for granted.
One evening, after a particularly tough day, I sat down with my father. I asked him why he had brought me to that place of sweat and toil. He looked at me with his weathered eyes and said, “My son, I want you to understand that life is not always easy. You have to work hard for what you want. Education is your ticket to a better life, and I don’t want you to waste it.”
His words resonated (产生共鸣) with me. I realized that I had been living in a bubble, blind to the struggles of the real world. I decided to go back to school, to make my parents proud and make something of myself.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:The next morning, I told my father that I wanted to return to school.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
————————————————————————————————————————————
Paragraph 2:Back at school, I was a changed person.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
