Over the years, as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph. D. and starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be t ho first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been collaborators (合作者) became rivals I hated.
But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive.
I emailed my mentors (导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left.
Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable (脆弱的) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone.
Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition.
With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy.
24. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach
A. Empowered and successful. B. Overwhelmed and isolated.
C. Motivated and productive. D. Ashamed and annoyed.
25. Why did the writer take a break
A. He was always the last. B. He needed some time to readjust.
C. He got serious homesick. D. He failed to care about himself.
26. What does the underlined phrase mean
A. Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly.
C. Being more confident in research. D. Tending to be happier than ever.
27. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage
A. From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness
C. From problems to solutions D. From uncertainty to certainty
C
A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸).
Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was, restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do.
Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive.
The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wildfire prevention.
28. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project
A. It cost significantly less money. B. It used animals to solve the issue.
C. It took effect quicker than expected. D. It changed the land into a lively plain.
29. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources
A. They ate the dry bush. B. They protected dams.
C. They created water bodies. D. They helped the trees grow better.
30. What do we know about beavers in North America
A. They are trained to stop wildfire. B. They were threatened by humans.
C. They got protected for their roles in ecology. D. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem.
31. What is the purpose of this text
A. To present a study on beavers behavior.
B. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire.
C. To introduce the benefits of working with animals.
D. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention.
D
To be clear: Food noise has nothing to do with hunger or food shortage, says Lawrence Cheskin, a professor of nutrition and food studies at George Mason University. It’s about being absorbed in thoughts about food.
In an issue of the journal Nutrients, researchers defined food noise as something that can be caused by internal signs such as your stomach growling with hunger or external signs such as seeing or smelling delicious foods. These signs can cause food-related thoughts to start playing on a repetitive cycle.
“Imagine you have a picture chart — think about what percentage of the day is spent thinking about food,” says Susan Albers, a clinical psychologist. “For those with a lot of food noise, 80 to 90 percent of their day is spent thinking about food.” “For those with intrusive food noise, it might affect their sleep, or lead to shame around eating or anxious thoughts,” says Goldman. “It can get in the way of someone being able to function at their best.” By contrast, those with mild food noise may hardly notice it.
Anyone can experience food noise but people with obesity or overweight often struggle with food noise more than other people do, which can make it difficult to lose weight. Other people include those with an eating disorder or disordered eating pattern. Also, if you have a lot of food rules or you’ve been dieting off and on for years, you may be more likely to experience food noise. “There’s a lot of shame and judgment around food noise,” Albers says. “It can impact relationships, leading to social withdrawal, and reduce people’s engagement in other areas of their life.”
Keep in mind, however, that food noise is a common suffering. “Don’t beat yourself up for it. Instead, exercise some self-sympathy,” Goldman suggests. “The way we talk to ourselves matters, so be mindful about what you’re saying to yourself about food noise.”
32. What do we know about the food noise
A. It’s the noise people make while eating. B. It’s only for people with weight issues.
C. It refers to repeated food thoughts due to signs. D. It’s related to food shortage and causes hunger.
33. What does the underlined word “intrusive” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Annoying. B. Inviting. C. Available. D. Unnoticeable.
34. How does food noise affect people’s life
A. It leads to severe weight gain. B. It brings about regular eating habits.
C. It results in a lack of social activities. D. It causes sleep disorders and overeating.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Being kind to yourself is helpful. B. Food noise is not a serious problem.
C. Talking to others about food noise matters. D. People should blame themselves for food noise.

第二节　书面表达(满分25分)
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。
It was my first long race — a marathon. The wind and the rain chilled (使很冷) me to the bone, but the sun was still not out to warm up the air. The starting gun would go off any second. I was ready. I was 28 and in the best shape of my life. At least, I thought I was. I ran all the time and had already run several races. But none of them was 26.2 miles. The farthest I had run before was only 15 miles. Still, I was young and overconfident and I knew I could do it.
The gun went off and the race started. I was excited and the weather became the furthest thing from my mind. I just concentrated on holding my own position among the other runners. I had no real finishing goal in mind, but when I settled into my pace, I soon worked out that I could easily break 4 hours.
Within a few miles, I ran past an elderly runner. He must have been over 70 years old and I was surprised he was even in the race. I was even more surprised that he was still ahead of me. He kept to the side of the road, his old legs moving one in front of the other, slowly but stably. I passed him without giving him a second glance or a word of encouragement.
I kept moving and had come 15 miles. I was at a pace to beat 4 hours. Then something strange happened. I started to get tired. My goal of 4 hours soon got pushed back to 4:10. Then 4:20. Finally, at about the 20-mile mark, I couldn't run any more. I had to walk.
I moved to the side of the road and with difficulty I walked along. I needed a second wind, but it wasn't coming. The rain was back. There was nothing I could do about it but concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other.
Then the elderly man passed me. He looked the same as he had earlier, running at the same speed. As he passed, he looked at me and smiled, "Only a few more miles to go. Don't give up now!"
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。
Paragraph 1:
Thinking of being beaten by an elderly man, I moved on.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
He crossed the finish line ahead of me and I was soon to follow.

W: Yeah. He used to shoot travel and wildlife photos. He’d show us amazing pictures when he returned from his trips.
M: Awesome. I’d love to record my memories with family and friends by taking photos.
W: Me too. But these days, I mostly shoot street photos. I find it attractive to capture the moments about different cities and various people. (8)

M: So, Miss Benson, you may have noticed some other people waiting outside the room, haven’t you
W: Yes, I have.
M: They all have also applied for this job. Why do you think we should choose you but not one of them
W: Well, first of all, I have a degree in English, so I am highly qualified to be a secretary. (10)
M: But what about experience
W: I started out as a clerk, dealing with the paperwork for the emergency unit doctors. Then for the past three years, I have been a secretary for the mental health nurses. (11)
M: So, what appeals to you about working with the heart unit (12)
W: Well, I do find the mental health work rather challenging. They have to deal with some serious problems. (11)
M: So does the heart unit.
W: Ah yes, but when my brother was a baby, he had a heart problem. The unit cured him and since then I’ve been more interested in hearts and how they work. (12)

W: Same! The historical pieces were mind-blowing.
M: Agreed. I’m so glad our Chinese teacher recommended us to visit. (14) We’ve seen a lot of great places while touring around Beijing. But this was one of my favorites.
W: True. The calligraphy exhibition was amazing. I wish I could write like that. But I was most impressed by the size of the museum’s collections. (15)
M: I loved the mix of traditional and modern design in this building and its 21 different exhibition halls. It perfectly represents Chinese historical significance and modern innovation.
W: Well, it’s too early to take the underground home, (16) and the weather is perfect. Should we ride bicycles through the park instead
M: I’d rather walk through these small streets. (16)
W: Yes. That’s a great idea! (16)
Text 10(第17题为总结题)
I am often asked what the defining moment in my life was. Was it opening my first restaurant Was it serving food to some of the world’s most famous people Or was it becoming a successful businessman Well, I would say that none of these things was the right answer. My defining moment was when I left home to study at university. (18) Up until then I was a child. I was well taken care of by my family. My mother was kind and thoughtful. The meals she made were wonderful and gave me the best ideas for my future as a restaurateur. But starting university was a shock. Suddenly, I had to look after myself, pay for what I’ve got, and even cook for myself. I was lost at that moment. How would I manage all the stuff But I finally did it. I learnt from these difficulties and the experiences made me stronger. I took Mom’s cooking advice and turned it into something new, something that various people have praised me for. Shortly after leaving university, I opened my first restaurant in London. (19) Since then I have opened branches in Paris, New York and many other cities. Now I employ some of the world’s leading chefs, artists in their profession. But it is still the inspiration my mom gave me that is the foundation of my restaurant empire. (20)

Over the years, as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph. D. and starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be t ho first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been collaborators (合作者) became rivals I hated.
But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive.
I emailed my mentors (导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left.
Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable (脆弱的) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone.
Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition.
With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy.
24. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach
A. Empowered and successful. B. Overwhelmed and isolated.
C. Motivated and productive. D. Ashamed and annoyed.
25. Why did the writer take a break
A. He was always the last. B. He needed some time to readjust.
C. He got serious homesick. D. He failed to care about himself.
26. What does the underlined phrase mean
A. Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly.
C. Being more confident in research. D. Tending to be happier than ever.
27. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage
A. From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness
C. From problems to solutions D. From uncertainty to certainty
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. A
C
A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸).
Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was, restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do.
Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive.
The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wildfire prevention.
28. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project
A. It cost significantly less money. B. It used animals to solve the issue.
C. It took effect quicker than expected. D. It changed the land into a lively plain.
29. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources
A. They ate the dry bush. B. They protected dams.
C. They created water bodies. D. They helped the trees grow better.
30. What do we know about beavers in North America
A. They are trained to stop wildfire. B. They were threatened by humans.
C. They got protected for their roles in ecology. D. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem.
31. What is the purpose of this text
A. To present a study on beavers behavior.
B. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire.
C. To introduce the benefits of working with animals.
D. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. D
D
To be clear: Food noise has nothing to do with hunger or food shortage, says Lawrence Cheskin, a professor of nutrition and food studies at George Mason University. It’s about being absorbed in thoughts about food.
In an issue of the journal Nutrients, researchers defined food noise as something that can be caused by internal signs such as your stomach growling with hunger or external signs such as seeing or smelling delicious foods. These signs can cause food-related thoughts to start playing on a repetitive cycle.
“Imagine you have a picture chart — think about what percentage of the day is spent thinking about food,” says Susan Albers, a clinical psychologist. “For those with a lot of food noise, 80 to 90 percent of their day is spent thinking about food.” “For those with intrusive food noise, it might affect their sleep, or lead to shame around eating or anxious thoughts,” says Goldman. “It can get in the way of someone being able to function at their best.” By contrast, those with mild food noise may hardly notice it.
Anyone can experience food noise but people with obesity or overweight often struggle with food noise more than other people do, which can make it difficult to lose weight. Other people include those with an eating disorder or disordered eating pattern. Also, if you have a lot of food rules or you’ve been dieting off and on for years, you may be more likely to experience food noise. “There’s a lot of shame and judgment around food noise,” Albers says. “It can impact relationships, leading to social withdrawal, and reduce people’s engagement in other areas of their life.”
Keep in mind, however, that food noise is a common suffering. “Don’t beat yourself up for it. Instead, exercise some self-sympathy,” Goldman suggests. “The way we talk to ourselves matters, so be mindful about what you’re saying to yourself about food noise.”
32. What do we know about the food noise
A. It’s the noise people make while eating. B. It’s only for people with weight issues.
C. It refers to repeated food thoughts due to signs. D. It’s related to food shortage and causes hunger.
33. What does the underlined word “intrusive” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Annoying. B. Inviting. C. Available. D. Unnoticeable.
34. How does food noise affect people’s life
A. It leads to severe weight gain. B. It brings about regular eating habits.
C. It results in a lack of social activities. D. It causes sleep disorders and overeating.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Being kind to yourself is helpful. B. Food noise is not a serious problem.
C. Talking to others about food noise matters. D. People should blame themselves for food noise.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. A

【答案】
Dear editor,
I believe middle school students can benefit from using DeepSeek for learning if guided properly.
Firstly, it provides instant access to knowledge explanations, helping us clarify confusing concepts efficiently. Secondly, its personalized learning features allow students to review weak areas systematically. However, overreliance should be avoided. Students must develop independent thinking by verifying AI-generated answers through textbooks and teacher consultations.
In conclusion, DeepSeek serves as a powerful supplementary tool rather than a replacement for traditional learning methods. By balancing technology with active human engagement, we can maximize academic progress.
Kind regards,
Li Hua
第二节　书面表达(满分25分)
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。
It was my first long race — a marathon. The wind and the rain chilled (使很冷) me to the bone, but the sun was still not out to warm up the air. The starting gun would go off any second. I was ready. I was 28 and in the best shape of my life. At least, I thought I was. I ran all the time and had already run several races. But none of them was 26.2 miles. The farthest I had run before was only 15 miles. Still, I was young and overconfident and I knew I could do it.
The gun went off and the race started. I was excited and the weather became the furthest thing from my mind. I just concentrated on holding my own position among the other runners. I had no real finishing goal in mind, but when I settled into my pace, I soon worked out that I could easily break 4 hours.
Within a few miles, I ran past an elderly runner. He must have been over 70 years old and I was surprised he was even in the race. I was even more surprised that he was still ahead of me. He kept to the side of the road, his old legs moving one in front of the other, slowly but stably. I passed him without giving him a second glance or a word of encouragement.
I kept moving and had come 15 miles. I was at a pace to beat 4 hours. Then something strange happened. I started to get tired. My goal of 4 hours soon got pushed back to 4:10. Then 4:20. Finally, at about the 20-mile mark, I couldn't run any more. I had to walk.
I moved to the side of the road and with difficulty I walked along. I needed a second wind, but it wasn't coming. The rain was back. There was nothing I could do about it but concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other.
Then the elderly man passed me. He looked the same as he had earlier, running at the same speed. As he passed, he looked at me and smiled, "Only a few more miles to go. Don't give up now!"

答案：
Paragraph 1：
Thinking of being beaten by an elderly man, I moved on. As I said, I was young and proud, and this little setback didn't matter much to me. So, I was determined to finish it. The elderly man had run ahead of me, but I could still see him in the distance. I tried to catch up with him, but no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't getting any closer. I would not give in. Soon, I was running at a good pace with my second wind, but the elderly man still stayed just out of my reach.
Paragraph 2：
He crossed the finish line ahead of me and I was soon to follow. I never had such mixed emotions. I was proud of finishing the marathon, but I was angry with myself for being beaten by the elderly man. It was only later on that I realized how much I admired him. I'll never forget the senior citizen runner who put the proud 28-year-old in his place. Some day I hope to be like him, running marathons in my 70's and passing all those first-timers as they struggle to finish. I'll make sure to give them encouragement.
