阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A Break in Llandudno, Wales
A Victorian favourite once billed as the “Queen of Welsh resorts”, Llandudno has kept much of the charm（魅力）that made it so popular. The walking path around Llandudno Bay, the smell of fish and chips moving in the air, and old-fashioned amusements all combine to deliver a typical British seaside break. And a stay in Llandudno can be combined with a trip to Conwy, which has an impressive castle and Britain’s smallest house.
Where to eat
Dylan’s, on Llandudno’s East Parade, is set in a Grade Ⅱ-listed building and offers sea views plus a menu starring local produce. Dishes might include Welsh lamb tacos and Conwy pork. Its attached shop has a range of award-winning Welsh sauces and preserves to take home.
Where to stay
Set in a Grade I-listed 17th-century country house, Bodysgallen Hall is one of only three National Trust-owned hotels. It has views of Conwy Castle. Guests can tour the grounds with the head gardener. From 260 per night.
What we like
A half-hour drive or train ride away, the picture-perfect market town of Llanrwst has an impressive three-arched（拱形的）bridge across the River Conwy. Take a walk and drop by a wine shop and restaurant Amser Da. Highlights include Welsh cheeses and Anglesey sea salt.
Don’t miss
A 20-minute drive from Llandudno, the National Bodnant Garden has Italian-style rose terraces（梯田）. The step-free Rose Walk takes in key parts of the garden, such as Waterfall Bridge and Old Mill, set against the backdrop of the Eryri foothills.
21．What can you see in Conwy
A．A splendid castle. B．Britain’s oldest house.
C．A queen’s residence. D．Italian-style rose terraces.
22．Which of the following highlights Dylan’s
A．A snack bar. B．Local produce. C．A kind waiter. D．Tasty seafood.
23．Where should you go if you want to admire roses

C．Llandudno’s East Parade. D．The National Bodnant Garden.

I am a multisport athlete and seasoned coach. When I was growing up, school wasn’t really my thing, but sport very much was. Athletics connected me to my school community by giving me a sense of belonging and success even when I struggled in the classroom. When I entered education, I knew I wanted to be more than a coach on the field and court—I wanted to help students like me make meaningful connections to school through sports.
I designed a program around the concepts of comfort and stretch zones. On day one, I set up a range of equipment for different sports across a field. In groups, students discussed sports that they felt comfortable and safe playing. They then took turns selecting their comfort sport on the field, doing a brief share, and playing with their group. Afterward, we had a class discussion on the importance of doing things that bring joy and passion, and how sharing that passion with others motivates us and the people around us.
On day two, with the same field design and sporting equipment, I introduced the idea of stretch zones. Students formed the same groups as on day one and discussed which sports were out of their comfort zone and more challenging to them. Some of my students were shy and others slightly frustrated（沮丧）as they struggled to perform the skills in sports in which they were not comfortable. Then we discussed, as a class, how even when something is challenging, if we recognize the difficulty and intentionally practice, we give ourselves the opportunity to overcome it over time.
The program required more than just adjusting my curriculum（课程）—it also meant some changes to the way I taught. I found myself opening up to my students and sharing my own hardships and successes with them. As a result, my students felt freer to be their real selves.
24．What did the author think of sport when he was a student
A．It appealed mainly to seniors. B．It led to a decline in his grades.
C．It helped him get attached to school. D．It made him struggle in the classroom.
25．Why did the author design the program
A．To test some sports equipment. B．To prepare students for a meet.
C．To push students to observe rules. D．To bond students and the school.
26．What was a problem facing the author on the second day of the program
A．Some students feared challenges. B．It was difficult to group students.
C．Students wanted material rewards. D．The sports field became crowded.
27．What can we infer about the author
A．He loves telling jokes. B．He is a creative teacher.
C．He used to be very shy. D．He is fond of safe sports.
C
From misremembering a movie quote to forgetting a vital ingredient from the shops for an evening dinner, the human memory is not always reliable. Now, researchers have discovered that sleep may play a key role in distorting（扭曲）memories, but perhaps in a good way.
As part of this study, researchers from the University of York’s Department of Psychology tested 488 participants on their ability to recall a list of words 12 hours after seeing them, with some of the participants being allowed to sleep in the 12-hour period.
They found that those who had slept remembered more of the words on the list than those who had not, but they were also more likely to give words that weren’t on the list, but were related. The related incorrect words are known as “lure words”. If a list contained words like nurse, hospital and sick, the false memories may include lure words like doctor.
Dr Matthew Mak, first author of the study, said, “Participants may falsely recall the lure words because ‘doctor’ most probably represents the gist（要旨）of the word list, and humans are known to often rely on gist encoding.” Co-author Professor Gareth Gaskell added, “Memories in some ways are more about our future than our past. They exist to provide knowledge about our past that can be applied in a generalised way to help us to deal with future events. So a gist-like representation might actually be more useful than a ‘perfect’detailed representation. What sleep might be doing is helping us to store memories in a gist-like way that can then be better applied to our future interactions.”
However, the researchers did recognize several limitations of their study, namely that all participants were aged between 18 and 25, and that the tests were performed online, meaning that other distractions（干扰）and environments could not be controlled.
28．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study
A．Its purpose. B．Its process. C．Its subject. D．Its finding.
29．What is Gaskell’s attitude to a gist-like representation
A．Negative. B．Doubtful. C．Favorable. D．Unclear.
30．What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A．The tests make little sense. B．The study needs improving.
C．The conclusion is satisfying. D．The participants are nervous.
31．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Sleep May Bring About False Memories B．Old People Tend to Have Short Memories
C．A Good Night’s Sleep Keeps Us Energetic D．Rising Early Delivers a Promising Start
D
As you shop online, you may be drawn to digital ads with curvy（圆角）designs without even realizing it. According to a new study from the University of South Florida, consumers click on curvy call-to-action buttons, such as “Shop Now” or “Add to Cart”, at a significantly higher rate than those with sharp angles.
“It’s actually rooted in natural instincts（本能）,” says Dipayan Biswas, professor of marketing. “According to research from different disciplines, our natural instincts send us signals that sharp angles usually indicate danger and that we’re more likely to get hurt. In contrast, curvy designs are perceived as friendlier and more approachable.”
This feeling leads people to subconsciously prefer things, including digital ad designs, which are soft-edged and curvy. As published in the Journal of Consumer Research, Biswas tested this concept through click rates and eye movement studies in the Muma College of Business Customer Experience Lab. The novel findings reveal how the shapes of virtual elements can subconsciously influence click-through rates.
“We studied a hotel search button and we consistently found the click rate was higher when the elements were curved,” Biswas says. “It translated to an increase of nearly 15percent in total revenue（收入）.” According to Biswas, this means companies can potentially manipulate consumers as they will unconsciously click and spend more through the use of curved call-to-action buttons. For companies that put little thought or reasoning behind their design element choices, this study could be eye-opening for them.
For shoppers, this means when they’re surfing the web around a holiday shopping season, they are subject to the marketing practice, such as design elements, which can lead to more unplanned purchases. Biswas encourages online shoppers to set a budget to balance such digital influence. “Having a budget will give you a benchmark to keep things more conscious-oriented and you’re less likely to be influenced by variables like these.”
32．Why do people tend to click curvy buttons when shopping online
A．They make shopping convenient. B．They give us a sense of security.
C．They often mean trade discounts. D．They offer various easy options.
33．Which is closest in meaning to “manipulate” in paragraph 4
A．Respect. B．Block. C．Track. D．Affect.
34．What do we know about curvy designs
A．They have been used by all businesses. B．They stop us making decisions quickly.
C．They are a powerful tool for companies. D．They enable websites to function well.
35．What does Biswas probably suggest readers do
A．Be reasonable consumers. B．Frequent physical stores.
C．Become aware of their right. D．Avoid surfing the Internet.

Another Way
The train ran smoothly on a spring afternoon. At one station, the doors opened, and came in a man. He wore laborer’s clothing, big, drunk and dirty. Screaming, he swung at an elderly couple. Terrified, the couple jumped up and quickly walked away. The laborer aimed a kick at the back of the old woman but missed. The passengers froze with fear.
I’ve been putting in a solid eight hours of martial arts（武术）training nearly every day for the past three years. “We study how to resolve conflict, not how to start it,” my teacher had said again and again. I listened to his words. In my heart, however, I wanted to save the innocent by destroying the guilty.
“This is it!” I said to myself as I got to my feet. Seeing me stand up, the drunk recognized a chance to focus his rage（怒火）. His fists upraised, he gathered himself for a rush at me. A second before he could move, someone shouted “Hey!”
I remembered the strangely joyous quality of the voice. We both stared down at a little old man. “Come here and talk with me,” the old man said in an easy voice. He waved his hands lightly. The big man followed, as if on a string. He planted his feet in front of the old gentleman, “Why should I talk to you ” The old man continued, “What have you been drinking ” “Beer,” the laborer replied, “and it’s none of your business!”
“Oh, that’s wonderful,” the old man said with interest. “You see, I love beer, too. Every night, my wife and I take beer out into the garden, and we sit on an old wooden bench. We look to see how our persimmon（柿子）tree is doing. We worry about whether it will recover from those ice storms we had last winter. Our tree has done better than I expected, though, especially when you consider the poor quality of the soil.”

M: The No.3 is heading in that direction. But you’ll wait at least 20 minutes for it in the rush hour.
W: That’s too long. I think I’d call a taxi.
M: Maybe it’s not a good idea, either. Taking a taxi is not worth it. It’ll take you 25minutes there. There seems to be a traffic jam. Why not walk to the park You can go straight from the opposite museum, and when you see a large parking lot, you’re almost there. That’ll take nearly 30 minutes.
W: You’re right. Although a 30-minute walk is tiring, it’s the best option for now.

W: Well, I feel sorry about it.

W: Colin, you got the highest score on the English exam again. How I envy you!
M: You did make progress this time, especially in the reading and writing parts.
W: But I’m still dissatisfied with my spoken English. It’s my biggest problem.
M: Cheer up, Tina. Let me help you find the right way to learn English. When you’re studying a language, the keyword is patience. It’s of the greatest importance, because nobody can master a language all at once.
W: Oh, yeah. But what am I supposed to do Find some foreign friends or go abroad to learn it
M: Not exactly. You can just make full use of every morning to practice English.
W: Should I get up earlier every day
M: You don’t have to do so. Actually, there are indeed many chances in the morning that you can grasp to learn English. For example, you can listen to English news while you are dressing and washing. At the same time, you can imitate and speak English loudly. You need to take every opportunity to learn.
W: Practice makes perfect, right
M: You said it.

M:A new era of AI（artificial intelligence）is coming. AI has made its way into a variety of industries, which benefits both businesses and consumers. More and more companies have used it in their products, such as AlphaGo, self-driving, facial recognition, online assistants and so on. Generally, there are two types of AI: weak AI and strong AI. Weak AI is an AI system that is designed and trained to complete a specific task. For example, Apple’s Siri can answer people’s simple questions and obey a programmed order. But it can’t work without humans. Strong AI differs from weak AI in this part most. Strong AI can solve problems and find solutions without humans, such as the self-driving car. It can control a vehicle without human involvement, and avoid unexpected obstacles, such as passersby. As a whole, AI can make human life easy and convenient, and many experts believe the future of AI is bright. But it is expensive and requires complex systems to operate. There are still many problems to solve, such as...

第一节
One possible version:
A Heartwarming Story
Recently, I came across a beautiful display of sympathy that I felt it worthwhile to share. While waiting at a crowded bus stop, I noticed an elderly woman struggling to carry her groceries. Despite the rush hour, a young man stepped forward, offering his assistance without hesitation.
Witnessing his selfless act reminded me of the marked impact of kindness in our daily lives. It taught me that sympathy knows no boundaries of age or circumstance. In our fast-paced world, such gestures serve as gentle reminders of our shared humanity, inspiring us to extend a helping hand whenever possible.
第二节
One possible version:
As the laborer struggled to follow the old man, his face began to soften. His fists slowly loosened. “Yeah,” he said. “I love persimmons, too...” His voice became gradually quiet. “Yes,” said the old man, smiling, “and I’m sure you have a wonderful wife.” “No,” replied the laborer. “I get no job. I get no home, either. I’m so ashamed of myself.”Tears rolled down his cheeks. I stood there speechless. Then the train arrived at my stop. As the doors opened, I heard the old man say sympathetically, “Sit down here and tell me about it.”
I turned my head for one last look before getting off the train. The laborer was seated with the old man. The old man softly touched the man’s hair. As the train pulled away, I sat down on a bench at the station. What I had wanted to do with muscle was achieved with kind words. I had just seen martial skill in action, and the essence of it was love. I would have to practice the art with an entirely different spirit. It would be a long time before I could speak about the resolution of conflict.
