At 27, I had been wrestling with stress and anxiety, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend's firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost—$130 for an initial 65-minute session—was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding caffeine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who assessed my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James examined my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10—13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points targeted specific meridians(经络) to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20—25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a Zen-like state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of peace that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities and alcohol to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life's pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As someone who struggles to unwind, I found it incredibly effective and plan to incorporate(包含) it into my routine. It's a reminder to prioritize self-care among the chaos of work and daily life.
( )24. Why did James examine the author's tongue
A. To evaluate her level of stress. B. To clarify the needle placement.
C. To confirm her mental disease. D. To get a broad idea of her health.
( )25. What did the author think of her acupuncture session
A. It was unbearable. B. It was cost-effective.
C. It was transformative. D. It was time-consuming.
( )26. How did acupuncture affect the author
A. Her stress came less frequently. B. She regained her peace of mind.
C. Her anxiety totally disappeared. D. She achieved work-life balance.
( )27. What does the underlined word “unwind” in the last paragraph mean
A. Relax. B. Balance. C. Focus. D. React.
C
For humans, aging is an unavoidable process. But axolotls(蝾螈), those cute, smiling creatures, seemingly avoid this fate. In a phenomenon called neoteny(幼态持续), axolotls never outgrow their larval (幼虫的) stage, looking like oversized babies as adults. Not only do they look youthful, with feathery gills and a dorsal fin, but these critically endangered Mexican creatures experience few physical declines and diseases, and can regenerate limbs, tail, and even organs over their 21-year lifespan. For that reason, axolotls are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to resist aging.
A recent study has shed new light on a fascinating aspect of these creatures: Their bodies stop one of the key mechanisms of aging—the epigenetic(表观遗传的) clock—when they're just four years old. An epigenetic clock estimates an animal's age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turn its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of injury, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age could be much older than its chronological or real age.
Understanding this mechanism could advance the search for effective anti-aging therapies(治疗) for humans, which is a significant focus given the booming $40 billion anti-aging market, which is expected to grow to $60 billion by 2032. What's more, understanding axolotl genetics may lead to breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, helping to develop treatments for cell and muscle regeneration, and potentially limb regeneration. James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Maine, who was not involved in the study, said, “It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration. If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.”
The study, conducted by geneticist Steve Horvath and biologist Maximina Yun, involved examining 180 axolotls aged from four weeks to 21 years. “We found that a reliable epigenetic clock could only be established for the first four years, after which the chemical markers remained constant, indicating a form of arrested development. Overall, the study gives us hope that if we find out how the axolotl is able to stop the clock,” Yun says, “maybe we can recreate this in other organisms.”
( )28. What inspired scientists to study axolotls
A. Their resistance to getting old. B. Their critically endangered status.
C. Their cute and smiling appearance. D. Their adaptation to the environment.
( )29. What does the epigenetic clock measure
A. How many genes there are in an organism.
B. How physical appearance gradually changes.
C. How biological and chronological age are mismatched.
D. How genes are expressed in response to life experiences.
( )30. Why does the author mention James Godwin's words in Paragraph 3
A. To provide a context for the research. B. To describe the characteristics of axolotls.
C. To emphasize the importance of the study. D. To explain the complexity of regeneration.
( )31. What might Horvath and Yun further explore
A. The gene expression gap between young and old axolotls.
B. The mechanism behind the epigenetic clock in axolotls.
C. The impact of diets on axolotls' regenerative abilities.
D. The genetic similarity between axolotls and humans.
D
While saying “no” can be liberating to some, for others it can be uncomfortable. Sometimes, society teaches us the word “no” is impolite. We feel more obligated(有义务的) to get along with things we honestly do not want to do in order to be socially accepted.
Yet, there are clear benefits to the word “no”. One of the first steps is to find a way to say “no” that feels natural and authentic for you. Perhaps you may find the “sandwich method” helpful. It is an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something positive followed by the “no” and end with something positive.
It's also important to keep in mind that saying “no” to something but giving other options that better fit your needs can also be an effective way to use the power of “no”. Remember that your needs are important and your decisions can directly affect your time and energy.
We all have various roles in our work, parenting, social obligations, and family dynamics. These roles can challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is crucial to your health and well-being. Boundaries can be flexible when appropriate. Take time to reassess your boundaries, taking into account the pros and cons. And remember: Boundaries do not have to be permanent.
Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower. Withdrawal, loss of interest in activities, or having feelings of worthlessness can be more than indicative of saying “no”. If you find yourself saying “no” in a way that leads to isolation, then it might be time to see a mental health professional.
Overall, there isn't a “right” way to say “no”. You will never be able to please everyone. Remember to let your inner confidence shine in your ability to say “no”.
( )32. What does society think of saying “no”
A. Understandable. B. Necessary. C. Inconsiderate. D. Indifferent.
( )33. How does the “sandwich method” work
A. By avoiding anything negative.
B. By being supportive before and after rejection.
C. By looking on the positive side.
D. By setting permanent boundaries in daily life.
( )34. What does the author suggest people do regarding saying “no”
A. Stick to one's decisions. B. Express oneself flexibly.
C. Prioritize others' needs. D. Mind its negative effects.
( )35. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of a Gentle Refusal B. How to Take Care of Oneself
C. The Journey of Self-discovery D. How to Satisfy Others' Needs

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I love digital spaces! I wouldn't have written the previous sentence five years ago, though. 36 I had too many things to keep track of, and too many notifications demanding my attention! My digital world left me distracted and unorganized.
After reading about digital minimalism(极简主义), I began to slowly declutter my digital life. 37
Before I organize digital clutter, I ask myself the following question: What area of digital clutter is causing you the most stress I'll spend 10—15 minutes responding to that question in my journal. 38 When I know what's causing me stress, I take tiny action steps.
Previously, I tried to organize my digital life by using folders, file names and some cloud storage. 39 I felt less organized and more overwhelmed(不知所措的). My approach to digital clutter had to change. So, I used a few journal questions to create a new organizational system. By responding to the questions, I created an organizational system that works for me. For example, I archived(存档) most of my digital files. Now I use the search function to find what I need.
Keeping my house tidy is a lifelong process. 40 Typically, I spend 10—15 minutes a day organizing my digital spaces. To make decluttering fun, I listen to music or podcasts. Also, I use a checklist to streamline(精简) my tasks.
A. It's been a game changer!
B. Figure out what works for you.
C. The same goes for digital spaces.
D. In the past, I felt overwhelmed by my digital tools.
E. Writing helps me identify problem areas to focus on.
F. But this approach didn't make sense for my work life.
G. I've decluttered my digital life by using a three-step approach.
36. 37. 38. 39. 40.

“Kevin, Robin broke her arm, so you are to do the solo at the concert,” said Ms Reed, the band director.
“Yes, ma'am,” I replied, trying to hide my despair. Refusing Ms Reed was impossible.
I'm the best player in the sax(萨克斯) section of my school band. I'm good because I practise playing very hard. I love playing my sax. So, what's my problem Stage fright. Performing with a group is no problem. But playing solo
I remembered the last time I tried to do so, it turned out to be a total failure. There were 8 people there. But when it was my turn, I froze. My mouth went dry, like I'd been sucking on paper towels. I couldn't play. After about a minute, my teacher asked me to sit down. I'd better figure it out or I'd freeze again.
When I got home, Mum gave me a big hug and told me Ms Reed called and told me to pick out a piece of music for my solo. I pretended everything was OK and headed for the basement. I play great in the basement. It's cozy down there—just me, my sax, my music stand with the little light, and a couple of spiders(蜘蛛) as my audience.
A voice called from the basement stairs. “Hey, Kevin!” It was my best friend Jill. She's the smartest person I know. I told her the whole thing. When I told her I was so scared, she comforted me, saying it was normal. Before she left, Jill sighed, “Too bad you couldn't just do your solo down here. You sound really great in the basement, so loose and relaxed!”
Jill was gone, but her words were ringing in my ears. “Jill's right. If I could do my solo from here, it'd be no problem. Why can't the school hall feel like my basement ” I said to my spider audience. Then I had an anti-freeze(防怯场) plan.
The day finally came. My solo was the last number in the first half. I took my seat on stage.
Paragraph 1:
When the curtain went up, all I could do was focus on my anti-freeze plan.
Paragraph 2:
With the end of the last note, I looked around and let out a sigh of relief.

Attention, students. We have only a couple more hours before we leave for our trip to the museum. If you haven't returned the notes that your parents were supposed to sign last night, please let your teacher know right away. We will try to get permission over the phone for you to go, but if we cannot speak to your mother or father before lunch, you will not be allowed to go and will have to stay at school. The ride to the museum will take about 45 minutes, so we will have lunch on the buses. We need everyone to be lined up with their classes at 11:50 a.m., so we can leave ten minutes after that. We'll have up to three hours at the museum, but we must be back at school by five o'clock. Please remember to take your notebooks with you, as your teacher may have some writing assignments for you at the museum. Remember that photography is not allowed inside the museum, so I recommend that you leave your cameras inside your desks and get them once we get back to school. If you have any questions about today's trip, you may ask your teacher between classes.

本文是一篇应用文。因更有机会看到极光,Yellowknife成为观赏北极光的好去处。本文介绍了当地旅游公司提供的北极光旅游套餐。
21. C 细节理解题。根据Where to go to see the northern lights部分第二段最后两句“Our prime location, directly beneath the Aurora Oval, combined with our devoted tourist guides, significantly increases your chances of experiencing this breathtaking phenomenon. That's why aurora seekers from around the world come to Yellowknife to enjoy the display!” 可知,Yellowknife 的绝佳位置(位于极光椭圆区正下方)以及敬业的导游使游客更有机会看到极光这一令人惊叹的现象,这就是为什么它成为极光探寻者的首选,因此C项“更高的观赏极光的概率”正确。
22. B 细节理解题。根据Our passion部分最后三句“We love entertaining special requests in hopes of making your dreams come true. If you're interested in something not listed on our site or have an idea that complements what we offer, please let us know! We're here to make it happen and ensure your adventure is truly unforgettable!”可知,Lights Over Yellowknife 这个团队喜欢满足游客的特殊要求,尽力让游客梦想成真,如果游客有网站上未列出的需求或能补充他们所提供服务的想法,都可以告知,他们会努力实现,这表明该团队提供的是量身定制的客户服务。
23. D 细节理解题。根据表格中“Northern Lights Tour Package”的价格信息“1st Night $85/person;2nd Night $75/person;3rd Night+ $65/person”可知,一对夫妇(两个人)进行三晚的极光之旅,费用为(85+75+65)×2=450美元。
B
本文是一篇记叙文。作者27岁时因为压力和焦虑尝试了针灸,文章详细描述了作者第一次体验针灸的过程及效果。针灸虽然不能解决所有问题,但可以有效帮助她放松。
24. D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“James examined my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.”可知,针灸师James检查作者的舌头是为了对其整体的健康状况有一个了解,以便指导施针。
25. C 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知,作者虽未称针灸是“治愈方法”,但明确表示这一体验“影响深远”(impactful),并计划将其纳入生活常规。通过针灸,她重新意识到自我关怀的重要性。这种从紧绷到放松的显著变化体现了“变革性”(transformative)。
26. B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知,针灸后作者感受到的“深层的平静”(profound sense of peace)是直接的、暂时性的效果。虽然压力未完全消失,但她在治疗期间和结束后恢复了内心的平静(peace of mind)。
27. A 词义猜测题。作者承认自己平时难以从压力中“解绑”(unwind),而针灸帮助她达到了这一状态。上文提到的“Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life's pressures.”和acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress也说明unwind指“放松”。
C
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一项关于蝾螈的研究发现,以及该研究对人类抗衰老治疗和再生医学可能带来的重要意义以及未来可能的探索方向。
28. A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“For that reason, axolotls are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to resist aging.”可知,这里的that reason指的是前面提到的蝾螈不仅外表年轻,身体机能衰退少、疾病少,还能再生肢体、尾巴甚至器官等,也就是它们抵抗衰老的能力。因此,科学家研究蝾螈是因为它们抵抗衰老的能力。
29. D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“An epigenetic clock estimates an animal's age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turn its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of injury, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age could be much older than its chronological or real age.”可知,表观遗传时钟是根据生活事件(如压力或饮食)如何使动物的基因开启或关闭来估计动物的年龄,也就是测量基因如何因生活经历而表现出来。
30. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中James Godwin说的话“It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration. If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.”可知,他认为这项关于蝾螈的研究在衰老和再生方面是一个巨大的进步,如果能理解其中的机制,将有很多改善人类健康的机会。作者引用他的话是为了强调这项研究的重要性。
31. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“‘...Overall, the study gives us hope that if we find out how the axolotl is able to stop the clock,’ Yun says, ‘maybe we can recreate this in other organisms.’”可知,研究发现蝾螈在四岁时表观遗传时钟停止,Yun 表示如果能弄清楚蝾螈是如何让这个时钟停止的,也许就能在其他生物体中重现这一现象。所以 Horvath 和 Yun 可能会进一步探索蝾螈表观遗传时钟背后的机制。
D
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何优雅而有效地表达拒绝的艺术。
32. C 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Sometimes, society teaches us the word ‘no’ is impolite.”可知,社会认为说“不”是不礼貌的行为,即inconsiderate(不体谅他人的)。
33. B 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Tell the person something positive followed by the ‘no’ and end with something positive.”可知,三明治法是在拒绝前后都给予积极回应,即“在被拒绝前后都给予支持”。
34. D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,作者在强调坚持立场和自我表达的积极意义的同时,特别提醒读者要注意过度拒绝可能带来的负面效应(如社交孤立、自我价值感降低等),并建议当出现这些情况时应寻求专业帮助。因此,最符合作者建议的是“注意其负面效应”。
35. A 标题归纳题。全文围绕如何优雅地说“不”展开,介绍了拒绝的方法和重要性,因此“温和拒绝的力量”最适合作为标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者实践数字极简主义(digital minimalism)的心路历程。
36. D 上文提到“五年前我不会这么说”,下文描述了作者过去数字生活混乱的状态。D项“过去,数字工具让我不堪重负”完美衔接,用in the past呼应five years ago的时间对比。
37. A 上文讲述开始实践数字极简主义,A项“这完全改变了我的生活”作为段落总结,用game changer强调转变效果,引出下文具体方法。
38. E 上文提到通过写日记找出压力源,E项“写作帮助我识别需要关注的问题区域”具体说明写作的作用,与下文“找到压力源后采取行动”形成逻辑链条。
39. F 上文描述旧的整理方式(文件夹等),F项“但这种方式不适合我的工作”用转折词but引出旧方法的失败,为下文新方法做铺垫。
40. C 上文说保持房屋整洁是长期过程,C项“数字空间也是如此”用the same goes for建立类比,自然过渡到数字空间整理的日常实践。

第二节(满分25分)
Paragraph 1:
When the curtain went up, all I could do was focus on my anti-freeze plan. Taking a deep breath, I just took the hall for my basement and the audience the spiders. I reminded myself to focus on my hands—where I had written out the starting notes of my favourite “Summertime”. And then I blew. The first few notes sang out. Not strong, but they were there, and right. Then the next notes came, and the next. I started to hear the song, to feel the music flowing from my sax. I forgot the hall, the audience, the band, and my fear.
Paragraph 2:
With the end of the last note, I looked around and let out a sigh of relief. There was silence. Then the room broke into applause. As I walked off the stage, a sense of accomplishment washed over me. Jill approached with a brilliant smile, giving me a high five. “Kevin, that was incredible! You really made it,” she exclaimed. I felt a surge of confidence and relief—I could conquer my stage fright!And as I made my way back to my seat, I knew that from now on, every performance would be a chance to shine, not a moment to fear.
