Giving back to the community makes yourself and others feel great. Whether you want to help animals,
the environment, or people in need, volunteer websites can match you with specific opportunities.
VolunteerMatch
VolunteerMatch has matched millions of people with wonderful volunteer opportunities. When you
type your location in the search bar, VolunteerMatch lists all the work possibilities near you.
You can sort several possibilities by cause—animals, children, seniors, women, and the arts are just
some of the filters (过滤器) you can use to find the right volunteer work for you.
Since we live in an age where smartphone apps can help someone, VolunteerMatch also allows you to
check out virtual opportunities. This lets you do volunteer work from the comfort of your home.
Engage
Engage (formerly All for Good) uses your location to find opportunities near you. Enter the kind of
volunteer work you want to do in the keywords field, and then input your location. But if you’re not looking

In the vast symphony of human expression, few subjects engage the mind and stir the soul quite like
music and physics. Surprisingly, these two areas are connected in ways that have been recognized for
centuries. Even the great Albert Einstein, whose ideas reshaped our understanding of the universe, famously
stated that had his path led him away from physics, he would have found joy in playing music.
As a scientist and musician, I’ve been privileged to journey between both subjects, discovering the
profound connections beneath the surface. My journey began in the Bronx, where hip-hop culture and
science came together in exciting ways. Years later, at Imperial College London, I was once again immersed
in a space where creativity and inquiry integrated. I regularly stopped into the studio of the celebrated
producer Brian Eno, where I witnessed first-hand his unique combination of artistic expression and scientific
exploration.
To bridge the gap between subjects, I created The Jazz of Modern Physics course at Brown University
in Rhode Island, introducing students to the wonders of modern physics through the principles of music and
sound. The response was overwhelming, as students from diverse backgrounds embraced the opportunity to
explore the intersection of art and science in new and unexpected ways. They learned about the harmonics of
string theory (弦理论) and the rhythms of quantum mechanics (量子力学) expressed through mathematics
and melody.
My mission continued with the founding of the Sound+Science after-school program, aimed at students
from underserved communities. In this program, students use electronic music equipment to explore the
physics of sound waves and harmonics. They work alongside PhD students in music and physics,
discovering the beauty of math and the excitement of audio experimentation.
In the connection between music and physics, we see that we are not just observers of the universe but
active participants in its ongoing symphony. Let us embrace this harmony, where science and music come
together to unlock the mysteries of the universe and the depths of our souls.
24. What does the author highlight by mentioning Einstein’s statement in paragraph 1
A. Einstein’s deep insights into music. B. The challenges of career switching.
C. Einstein’s influence in the field of science. D. The links between art and science.
25. Why did the writer create The Jazz of Modern Physics course
A. To teach classical music theory. B. To combine music and physics.
C. To introduce quantum mechanics. D. To explore diverse opportunities.
26. How does the writer mainly support his viewpoint
A. By referring to historical events. B. By presenting scientific definitions.
C. By comparing experimental results. D. By sharing career-related experiences.

27. What would be the best title for the text
A. Music’s Role in Scientific Discovery B. A Journey through Music and Science
C. Harmonizing Science and Music D. Exploring the Physics of Sound
C
A leading fossil expert has suggested that the climate crisis might make humans smaller over time
because smaller mammals often handle rising temperatures better.
Steve Brusatte, a fossil expert from the University of Edinburgh, thinks looking at how animals dealt
with past climate changes can help us guess what might happen to humans. For example, about 55 million
years ago, when the world got hotter, early horses became smaller. He wonders if humans could follow a
similar pattern.
In his book The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte talks about something called Bergmann’s
rule. It’s an idea that animals in warm places are usually smaller than those in cold areas. “We’re not sure
exactly why,” he explains, “but smaller animals probably have an advantage. Their bodies have more surface
area compared to their size, which helps them emit extra heat more easily.”
Brusatte says getting smaller is “a common way mammals survive when the climate changes fast.” He
adds, “Not every mammal would shrink, but it’s a trick many use when temperatures rise quickly. So could
humans get smaller if it gets hot fast I think that’s possible.”
But not all experts agree. Adrian Lister, from London’s Natural History Museum, says the link between
heat and shrinking in mammals isn’t strong, especially for humans. “Natural selection doesn’t control us like
it used to,” he argues. “For humans to get smaller, bigger people would have to die before having kids
because of the heat. But that’s not happening. We have clothes, heaters, and air conditioners to handle
temperature changes. These things reduce the need for our bodies to evolve to cope with heat.”
So while some think humans might shrink due to climate change, others doubt it. It’s an interesting
debate—one that shows how nature and human technology might shape our future.
28. Why does Steve Brusatte mention early horses that lived 55 million years ago
A. To confirm Bergmann’s rule applies universally.
B. To suggest humans are bound to become smaller.
C. To demonstrate temperature’s effect on horse evolution.
D. To show how mammals adapted to historical climate shifts.
29. What can be learned from Bergmann’s rule as explained in the passage
A. Surface area alone affects animals’ heat emission.
B. Smaller animals are more adaptable to warm environments.
C. Warm-region mammals evolve faster than cold-region ones.
D. Smaller animals will replace larger ones as the climate warms.
30. What does Adrian Lister imply about human evolution
A. Humans tend to grow larger in hot climates.
B. Natural selection still shapes human body size.
C. Climate change no longer affects human evolution.
D. Technology reduces the need for climate adaptation.
5
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. Climate crisis’s impact on human size evolution.
B. Modern technology’s impact on natural selection.
C. Mammal evolution in response to climate change.
D. The application of Bergmann’s rule in modern society.
D
Critical thinking influences our daily lives more extensively than we typically acknowledge. Even
common decisions, such as selecting a breakfast, involve subconscious (下意识的 ) application of critical
thinking as we weigh factors like nutrition, taste preferences, and dietary needs to determine the best option
for that particular morning.
This ability functions much like a muscle—it strengthens progressively with deliberate practice. As a
cornerstone of professional success, critical thinking equips individuals with the capacity to navigate
workplace challenges, systematically test hypotheses (假说 ) through continuous trials, and put forward
effective solutions to complex problems. Its significance in career advancement cannot be overstated.
Fundamentally, critical thinking refers to the capacity to comprehend, assess, and analyze factual
information to form reasoned judgments or evaluate the validity of claims. Beyond mere curiosity about the
world, critical thinkers excel at establishing logical connections between ideas to grasp broader contexts.
Developing this skill enables individuals to convey their thoughts logically, present arguments
systematically, and make informed decisions helpful to continuous improvement.
While scientific professions clearly demand critical thinking, its application extends across diverse
careers including law, medicine, journalism, engineering, accounting, and analysis. The World Economic
Forum consistently identifies it as an important workforce skill due to its role in enhancing information
analysis, improving creativity, enabling innovative problem-solving, and advancing strategic planning. In
everyday life, critical thinking operates inconspicuously yet powerfully, empowering independent thought
and judgment.
Contrary to common misconceptions, critical thinking strengthens interpersonal relationships by
boosting empathy for others’ perspectives and maintaining an open mindset. Critical thinkers maintain
intellectual curiosity, pose inquiring questions, and refuse to accept information at face value. .Critical
thinking isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s how we grow, improve, and make sense of an increasingly complex
world. It helps us ask better questions, listen more deeply, and approach problems with clarity instead of
chaos.
32. Which method best helps develop critical thinking skills according to the passage
A. Learning through repeated errors. B. Developing stronger emotional awareness.
C. Engaging in focused, intentional practice. D. Making decisions based on subconsciousness.
33. Which example best shows critical thinking
A. Consumers buy phones just based on ads. B. Doctors analyze tests before treatment.
C. Viewers believe news without confirmation. D. Managers overemphasize certificates in hiring.
6
34. What does the underlined word “inconspicuously” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Obviously. B. Precisely. C. Unnoticeably. D. Abstractly.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Critical thinking helps drive the world forward.
B. Critical thinking harms interpersonal relationships.
C. Critical thinkers refuse to accept basic information.
D. Critical thinkers can put themselves in others’ shoes.

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。
With data shaping everything from healthcare breakthroughs to the latest entertainment trends, data
scientists are at the heart of some of the most exciting innovations happening right now. 36
In the simplest terms, data scientists are the problem-solvers of the digital age. They collect, analyze and
interpret complex datasets to help businesses solve real-world problems. 37 Whether it’s uncovering
hidden patterns in customer data, improving product quality or helping businesses make smarter decisions,
data scientists are always deeply engaged in it.
Data scientists are highly skilled in coding. 38 It’s also used to automate repetitive tasks,
freeing up time for more creative work. While not every task will involve coding, it’s still a core skill that
enables data scientists to obtain insights efficiently and effectively. It’s the foundation upon which they build
the models and tools that power business innovations.
39 With more and more data being generated every day, skilled data professionals are more
popular than ever. This rapid growth is driven by the increasing need for data to inform smarter
decision-making across every industry. Roles in the field span a wide range, including machine learning
engineer, data analyst, quantitative researcher and business intelligence specialist.
With AI moving at lightning speed, it’s natural to wonder if data scientists could one day be replaced by
AI. While AI can automate repetitive tasks like data preparation, it doesn’t have the critical thinking and
strategic decision-making that human data scientists bring to the table. 40 If you have a passion for
coding and get excited about turning data into real-world solutions, data science might just be your perfect
match.
A. Are data scientists in demand
B. Coding isn’t just for creating instructions.
C. The life of a data scientist is anything but dull.
D. They excel at turning raw data into actionable insights.
E. So, rather than replacing data scientists, AI will help them.
F. But what is it actually like to be a data scientist in today’s world
G. However, their work could not always lead to practical solutions.

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。
Lena was a 17-year-old girl who considered herself independent. For three years, her diary had been her
only trusted friend. Every night, she would record everything in life—the math teacher’s blame, the broken
9
relationship with desk mates, the crush (喜欢) on a boy, the stray dog, the leaking roof, even the way her
mother talked to her.
The cold war began after that night—when Mom opened her schoolbag without warning, stuff fell out
onto the floor—a half-finished love poem, a present prepared for her desk mate, and her private drawing
book.
“What are you doing on earth ” screamed Lena.
“I just want to check and keep you safe!” Mom’s voice cracked, her hands shaking.
“Safe You just want to control me!” Lena cried, kicking the bag away. That night, Lena locked herself
in her room, scribbling angry words into her diary: “This is my Privacy! I hate her! I’ll never forgive her!”
For a week Lena wouldn’t speak to her mother. One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home to find her
diary missing from its usual spot under the pillow. Panic set in. Did Mom take it She stormed into the
kitchen, where her mother was washing vegetables, hands trembling slightly.
“Give it back!” Lena demanded.
Mom wiped her hands slowly, avoiding eye contact. “The roof leaked. I was cleaning up the mess in
your room when I found your notebook lying on the wet floor. I was drying it.” She pointed to the balcony,
where the diary lay open under a hairdryer, pages fluttering.
Lena’s heart sank. Her deepest secrets—complaints about Mom, crushes on classmates—were now
exposed. She grabbed the diary and ran back to her room, tears blurring her vision. Flipping through the
pages, she noticed something strange: every angry entry was marked with a tiny red sticker (贴纸)。
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。
Curious, Lena turned to the page where she wrote “I hate you!” and found unfamiliar handwriting.
That night, Lena tiptoed into her mother’s room, diary in hand.

Good morning, everyone! It’s a great honor for me to deliver a speech entitled Grow Up
Healthy with a Smartphone.
Nowadays, an increasing number of students are getting addicted to smartphones, playing
games or scrolling through short videos, even copying homework using various phone apps. This
not only affects their study but also harms them both physically and mentally.
Faced with the current situation, we shouldn’t stand by. First, set clear rules for phone use, like
no phones during study time. Second, replace phone time with meaningful activities---doing
sports, or having fun with friends in person.
Let’s make a promise: put down our phones, focus on real life, and chase healthy growth.
That's all. Thank you.
第二节：读后续写。
参考例文一
Curious, Lena turned to the page where she wrote “I hate you!” and found unfamiliar
handwriting. “Lena, I noticed you wrote this after our argument. I’m sorry for hurting you. —
Mom” The words blurred as tears welled up. She wildly checked other marked pages — each had
a brief response: encouragement after her exam failure, comfort when she mentioned loneliness,
apologies for misunderstanding. Her chest ached with a strange warmth. The “invasion of
privacy” was actually Mom’s silent way of staying connected. Guilty and grateful, Lena realized
that it was time to walk through the door. (80)
That night, Lena tiptoed into her mother’s room, diary in hand. To her shock, she saw her
mother sitting on the bed, silently crying in the moonlight. "Mom..." Lena’s voice cracked as she
held out the diary. "I read your notes. I... I didn’t realize how much I was hurting you." Lena
whispered. Her mother looked up, hastily wiping tears. "I thought I'd lost you forever," she choked
out. Lena rushed over, clutching the diary. "I'm so sorry!" They embraced tightly, the diary—now
a bridge instead of a wall—pressed between them. (82)
参考例文二
Curious, Lena turned to the page where she wrote “I hate you!” and found unfamiliar
handwriting. It was her mother’s: “My dear Lena, I’m sorry for hurting you. I just worry too much
about you. I wish I could be your friend, not just your mom.” Tears welled up in Lena’s eyes as
she flipped through more pages, discovering similar notes beside each red sticker—apologies,
explanations, and expressions of love. "I’ve been unfair," Lena thought, closing the diary with a
deep breath. It was time to make things right.(74)
That night, Lena tiptoed into her mother’s room, diary in hand. Her mother was asleep, her
face tired but peaceful. Lena placed the diary gently on the bedside table, along with a new note:
“Mom, I’m sorry too. Maybe we can start over—not just as mother and daughter, but as friends.”
As she turned to leave, a hand grasped hers softly. Her mother, now awake, pulled her into a warm
hug. No words were needed; the silence spoke of forgiveness and love.(72)

literature competitions, could make it more meaningful.
W: I agree. So what do you think is the significance of preserving cultural heritage
M: It connects us to our roots, develops a sense of identity, and teaches us about diversity.
W: Well said. Preserving our past is not just a duty but a way to enrich our future.

W: I heard you are really into cycling, Henry. I’ve been thinking about giving it a try. Any tips
for a beginner
M: Definitely! First, get a comfortable bike and start at your own pace. Begin with short
rides and gradually increase the distance. Next, always wear a helmet for safety. Plus, don’t
hesitate to explore different routes.
W: Good advice. Do you have a regular cycling route
M: Yes. Most of the time, I go cycling in the nearby park, and sometimes I ride along the
coast or in the mountains.
W: Nice. What’s the longest distance you’ve cycled 50 kilometers
M: My best record is 3 times that distance.
W: Amazing! I admire your willpower. By the way, I’ve heard about group rides. Have you ever
attended one
M: Yeah. Group rides are fantastic. I like them. I enjoy meeting fellow cyclists and sharing
my experiences with them. And there’s a great sense of community. It’s all for fun, not
for competition.
W: Cycling seems like a great way to stay fit and enjoy the outdoors.
M: It truly is. Give it a shot!

W: For many book writers, artificial intelligence (AI) is a threat to their work and the
very idea of creativity. More than 10,000 writers supported an open letter about the issue
from the Authors Guild this summer. The letter urged AI companies not to use copyrighted
works without permission or payment.
At the same time, AI is a story that can be told, and no longer exists only in science fiction.
Helen Phillips is the writer of the book HUM. It tells of a wife and mother who loses
her job because of AI. Phillips said there is a hope in AI for gaining all knowledge, but there
is a “fear of being replaced by non-human intelligence”.
Ryan Doherty is a director at Celadon Books. It recently agreed to publish Fred
Lunzker’s book Sike, featuring an AI doctor. “We’ve been seeing more and more about AI in
book proposals,” Doherty said.
Other AI-related books include Do You Remember Being Born . It tells of a poet who agrees
to work with an AI poetry company. There is also In Our Likeness. It tells about a government
worker and a fact-checking program with the power to change facts.
Some writers are not just writing about AI. They are also openly working with it.
Earlier this year, Stephen Marche used AI to write the short book Death of an Author.
Simon Rich worked with the AI program “code-davinci-002” to create I Am Code.
