During daily breaks from the world’s many dramas, I encountered another: The blue jay (松鸦) in my backyard is a ladies’ man.Each day, he lands on the bird feeder and fills up on seeds and nuts, which makes him a good provider — an attractive mating advantage for birds that typically stay with one partner. He dutifully delivers food from my place to his home in a tree across the street. Then I noticed him paying regular calls to the row of oaks (橡树) a few doors down, his mouth full and his feathers a bright blue. I assumed he was visiting a second mate.
My wife was with me once when the jay took his love nest detour (绕路), and I pointed out what he was up to. My wife’s response was Socratic: “How do you know where that bird goes ” Based on the research, bird experts would ask the same question and argue that jays are actually no-nonsense birds. Smart, fierce and loyal. They are also industrious, storing food in secret locations for later.
After considering my wife’s question, I realized that I might have been too quick to judge the jay. Further evidence soon arrived. After some blackbirds stuffed themselves at the feeder,making quick work of the seeds, I left it bare for several days to keep them away. Noticing the empty tray, the blue jay dashed into a nearby tree and pulled out a hidden peanut from the bark.
These birds don’t just store food; they build reserves. So after finishing the peanut, off he flew into the row of oaks — and emerged to head directly across the street to his home. It was all suddenly clear: That jay didn’t have a love nest. He had a nest egg, a little something put away in a few nearby trees to feed his family when food ran low.
Next time I encounter another one of the world’s dramas, I won’t be too quick to judge.
24．What was the author’s initial explanation for the jay’s detours
A．Searching for new nesting materials B．Protecting its feeding territory
C．Delivering food to hidden storage D．Visiting another potential mate
25．What caused the author to reconsider his assumption
A．Advice from bird experts B．His wife’s critical question
C．The jay’s changed behavior D．Research papers on blue jays
26．Why did the jay make frequent stops at the oak trees
A．To build additional nests B．To store backup food supplies
C．To attract female companions D．To avoid predator threats
27．Which proverb best reflects the article’s message
A．Birds of a feather flock together. B．Actions speak louder than words.
C．Don’t judge a book by its cover. D．A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
Famous inventor Thomas Edison and artist Salvador Dalí both used unusual methods to spark creativity. Edison would nap while holding steel balls; when they fell, the noise woke him with fresh ideas. Dalí used a heavy key — as he fell asleep, it would drop, waking him at the perfect moment between sleep and wakefulness.
Now, scientists are finding experimental evidence that supports what Edison and Dalí knew all along — that the transition between wakefulness and sleep is a portal for creative thought. “Creativity is taking two pieces of information you already have and suddenly seeing how they fit together in a way that you had never thought of before,” said Robert Stickgold, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “When you’re asleep, your brain neurochemistry shifts, making it easier for the brain to travel along pathways that lead to associations you otherwise would be very unlikely to uncover.”
This first stage of sleep, called N1 or hypnagogia, lasts only one to seven minutes but can invoke spontaneous, vivid dreams that often incorporate recent wake experiences.There are five stages of sleep: wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and non-REM Stage 1, 2 and 3 (N1, N2 and N3). Brain imaging studies have shown that N1 engages networks involved in spontaneous thinking and cognitive control, both instrumental to creativity.
Scientists developed a sleep-tracking device that guides dreams using audio cues. When users drifted into N1 sleep, the device whispered, "Think of a tree." Those who dreamed of trees later wrote more creative stories about them. More recently, researchers using the Edison method discovered that spending as little as 15 seconds in N1 sleep tripled the chance of participants subsequently having a moment of creative insight on a math problem compared with those who stayed awake or reached deeper sleep.
For those who want to use dream content for creativity at home, Horowitz recommends not jumping out of bed upon waking from a nap or overnight sleep. Instead, lie still with your eyes closed. “Try and recall a dream, what sounds you heard, who you met, what things looked like to the left and the right,” he said. “Let it all come back and explore it while you still have all the neurochemistry of sleep lingering in your brain.”
28．What was the purpose of Edison and Dalí’s unusual sleeping methods
A．To achieve deeper sleep stages
B．To extend their sleeping time
C．To avoid disturbing dreams
D．To capture creative ideas during sleep transitions
29．What does the underlined word “portal” in the second paragraph probably mean
A．a dangerous trap B．a temporary state
C．a gateway or entrance D．a scientific measurement
30．What can be inferred about N1 sleep from the text
A．Its duration is longer than REM sleep
B．It is the most important stage for physical recovery
C．It activates brain networks related to creative thinking
D．It prevents people from remembering their dreams
31．What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A．The importance of recording dreams immediately
B．Suggestions for enhancing creativity after waking
C．The dangers of jumping out of bed too quickly
D．How to use sleep-tracking devices effectively
For over a century, hypodermic needles have been a standard tool in medicine. Despite advances in medical technology, the basic design of needles—a hollow, pointed tube—has remained largely unchanged. With luck, that may soon change. As Yichi Ma, a mechanical engineer at the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues outline in a review paper in Biomimetic Intelligence and Robotics, researchers around the world are now turning to nature for inspiration to create less painful and more effective needles.
An obvious source of ideas has been mosquitoes, which manage to extract their blood meals almost painlessly. One reason is that the insects employ some specific chemicals when they first pierce the skin. But another has to do with the shape and action of their mouth parts. Their proboscis has a serrated (锯齿状的), soft tip and vibrates as it pierces the skin, reducing the force needed. Scientists have developed needles mimicking this design, which require 27% less insertion force than traditional needles. These “mosquito needles” could improve delicate procedures like biopsies, where precision is critical.
Another challenge is guiding long, thin needles deep into the body without bending or breaking. Researchers studied female wasps, which use needle-like ovipositors (产卵器) to drill into wood or fruit before depositing eggs. They consist of sliding sections, similar to an extending telescope. By replicating this structure with special wires, scientists created ultra-thin needles that can navigate tissues like the liver without damage, potentially reducing the need for surgery.
There are other ideas, too. One is a needle that swells at the end once inserted, inspired by a worm that attaches itself to fishes. Another is an injector that can precisely steer the flow of drugs across its surfaces. It is modelled after European true bugs, a family which includes aphid and bed bugs. Some can use micro structures to steer defensive chemicals around the outsides of their bodies.
For now, such devices remain confined to labs. But there is a big market for better needles. According to the World Health Organisation, one person in four says they suffer from a fear of needles, so the savings on stickers and sweets for the brave souls who roll up their sleeves would be considerable.
32．How do mosquito-inspired needles reduce pain
A．By being shorter and thinner.
B．By using chemicals to numb the skin.
C．By being softer than traditional needles.
D．By vibrating and requiring less insertion force.
33．What can we infer about wasp-inspired needles
A．They are mainly used for biopsies.
B．They can bend easily without breaking.
C．They may reduce the need for some surgeries.
D．They are already widely used in hospitals.
34．What is the advantage of the needle inspired by European true bugs
A．It can vibrate to reduce insertion pain.
B．It can swell after entering the body.
C．It can precisely control drug delivery.
D．It can drill into hard tissues easily.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The History of Hypodermic Needles.
B．Nature’s Blueprint for Better Needles.
C．How Mosquitoes Inspire Medical Tools.
D．The WHO’s Report on Needle Fear.
You’re Only as Smart as Your Emotions
For thousands of years, Western thought maintained there was an eternal war between reason and emotion. 36 Emotions were seen as primitive forces likely to lead people astray. This traditional view suggested that true wisdom required suppressing feelings to achieve pure rationality.
However, modern neuroscience has fundamentally challenged this perspective. 37 The problem lies in outdated cultural perceptions that haven’t kept pace with scientific understanding.
Recent studies confirm this through controlled laboratory experiments.Through advanced brain imaging, we now know emotions serve as sophisticated biological guidance systems. Neuroscientist Ralph Adolphs explains in Leonard Mlodinow’s book Emotional: “An emotion adjusts your goals, directs attention, and modifies mental calculations based on circumstances.” Consider Antonio Damasio’s landmark study of brain-damaged patients. Those with damaged emotional processing struggled with basic decisions despite intact logical abilities. 38 This demonstrates how emotions provide the necessary context for effective reasoning.
Understanding this demands developing emotional athleticism. 39 Being “passionate enough to feel and skilful enough to understand feelings” allows us to navigate life’s complex areas. When facing career choices or personal relationships, our emotional responses help prioritize values and predict outcomes beyond pure logic.
40 Schools emphasizing emotional literacy show improved academic performance and social panies incorporating emotional intelligence training report better teamwork and decision-making. Life isn’t mathematical calculus but dynamic navigation where emotions provide real-time orientation.
A．The implications extend to education and workplace training.
B．Reason was considered the sophisticated product of human evolution.
C．This discovery revolutionized our understanding of emotional intelligence.
D．Just as athletes train physical responses, we must cultivate emotional awareness.
E．Research now shows emotions don’t oppose rationality but actually enhance it by providing essential guidance.
F．This means different emotional states activate specific brain patterns that optimize decision-making for particular situations.
G．Excessive reliance on emotions may lead to impulsive behavior, so balance is key.

Coffee, a beloved beverage among young people, is now witnessing a unique trend in China, where law-inspired coffee shops are capturing the attention of the youth, 56 (generate) 2.92 million posts on the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu (RedNote).
In these law-themed coffee shops, customers can browse legal books while savoring a cup of coffee with names 57 reflect professional legal concepts. Certain cafes simulate courtroom proceedings by stamping a “successful mediation” mark once customers have completed their 58 (personal) coffee orders.
Beyond their distinctive atmosphere, these coffee shops also support social welfare by offering public legal services. For example, a cafe in Hangzhou partners with local justice bureaus 59 (promote) public education, while another in Wuhan provides complimentary consultations.
Similar functional theme cafes have also emerged 60 (global) — for example, Japan’s detective-themed establishments offer missing-person and item-tracing services, 61 US tax-help hubs answer tax-related queries during the filing season.
According to research from Peking University, the appeal of these establishments lies in the combination of serious legal content with leisure elements, which 62 (trigger) the release of dopamine.
However, it’s hard to say how long this trend will last, as the novelty may quickly wear 63 . Many visitors come primarily for photos rather than legal services. The sustainability of this blend of caffeine and law system will depend on 64 (initiate) like membership programs or events — factors that will determine whether it evolves into 65 lasting phenomenon or fades as a passing craze.

Mary watched as students crowded around a notice announcing that the school’s radio station was looking for a second host. Butterflies filled her stomach—she had always dreamed of becoming a campus host.
The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!”
Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills.
The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part.
“Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged.
Mr. Carter smiled gently and said, “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.”
That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host.
注意：
1. 写作词数应为150左右；
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks.

Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill.

For background actors, you want to make it look like you are talking and having a nice time, so smile. But, when you talk, you just have to move your lips. The microphones on set are very sensitive, so don’t actually speak, just mouth the words. For this scene, several of you will be sitting at tables as if you were in a restaurant. A few more of you will be standing by the bar. We also need three actors to look like waiters, so you three — Jack, Luke, and David, can you go to the costume department to get fitted for waiter uniforms The rest of you, let’s go to the make-up truck and get you all pretty.

67．【答案】One possible version:
She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. Organizing scripts, preparing playlists and setting the facilities, Mary threw herself into these tasks, treating each one as an opportunity to learn. During breaks, she observed Olivia’s hosting techniques—how she handled technical issues and managed to make the audience feel excited and engaged. When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did. As days turned into weeks, her notebook was filled with her thoughts and reflections. Mary felt more confident, and she hoped she could finally share her voice with the school.

May I try ” The studio fell silent. Mr. Carter studied her determined face and nodded. Holding the cold mic tightly, Mary’s clear voice flowed through speakers. She perfectly reported the news that day, played up beat music, and even shared fun stories about their school’s history. Students paused their sandwiches, recognizing the new voice. By broadcast end, the radio office buzzed with approval. Mr. Carter smiled, “Seems we already have our second host.” Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her.
