Best Reads in 2025
Unequal by Eugenia Cheng
You might think things are either equal or they aren’t, but for mathematician Eugenia Cheng, some things are more equal than others — in maths and in life. Her clever exploration of the meaning of “equals” helps us grasp mathematical complexities — and the everyday dangers of assuming, for example, two people who score the same on an IQ test are equally intelligent.
Tree Hunting by Paul Wood
What is Barney How old is ancient The answers lie in a truly ambitious, glorious book of trees, complete with maps, photographs and travel notes. It is built round the unusual idea of setting out in search of the 1,000 best individual trees that grow in the towns and cities of Britain and Ireland. The idea from Paul Wood’s field trip offers a way to honour trees that can live up to 3,000 years and shape, or are shaped by, their surroundings.
The Lost Girls of Autism (自闭症) by Gina Rippon
Discovering the true state of affairs about women, girls and autism — that this group has been underestimated in the prevalence (流行) of autism in this group — can only be good. But for neuroscientist Gina Rippon, it is also bittersweet. In this excellent, state-of-the-art account of autism in girls, she admits that by accepting the belief that autism was much more common in boys, “I have been part of the problem I’m hoping this book will solve”.
A Short History of Stupidity by Stuart Jeffries
What could be more stupid than writing a history of stupidity, asks author of, er, just such a book, Stuart Jeffries. Luckily for him and for us, there is a lot to like in this clever exploration. After all, what do we really mean by stupidity Ignorance Foolishness Inability to learn As Jeffries says, stupid is a judgement, not a fact — science can’t measure it, except perhaps negatively, by measuring low IQ scores.
21. Which book will attract readers interested in exploring nature
A. Tree Hunting. B. Unequal.
C. The Lost Girls of Autism. D. A Short History of Stupidity.
22. What is the main focus of The Lost Girls of Autism
A. The ways to help boys with autism get treatment.
B. The relationship between autism and mental health.
C. The misunderstanding of autism in women and girls.
D. The difference between autistic boys and autistic girls.
23. What do Unequal and A Short History of Stupidity have in common
A. Both talk about the importance of IQ tests.

C. Both mainly discuss social problems in modern life.
D. Both challenge fixed definitions of abstract concepts.
B
In an age where house calls are becoming a relic of the past, one West Michigan doctor is bringing them back — with a twist (转折). His patients do not have heartstrings, but they do have 88 keys and a different kind of string altogether. Meet Josiah Jackson, known across social media as “The Piano Doctor.” At just 21 years old, he is already booked months in advance, with a waiting area that stretches across West Michigan. His specialty is giving voice back to instruments that have been silent for years.
Josiah has everything needed to treat his patients: steady hands and a good pair of ears. But when you call for a tune-up, you hardly expect someone so young to arrive. “I get that a lot,” he admits. Yet age matters little when the instruments he works on are often older than their owners. He explains that pianos are far more complex than they appear, with many moving parts that require careful attention and deep understanding.
Some might say Josiah was born for this work. Some of his earliest memories involve sitting at a piano. Although he once dreamed of becoming a performer, he later realized that life on stage was not what he truly wanted. At 17, he discovered piano tuning. He contacted a local tuner, followed him for a day, and soon entered a supportive community eager to welcome younger members.
What began as curiosity quickly became a profession. Josiah started his business while still in high school, building his own website and handling all the scheduling himself. Now, he works long hours and is booked far in advance. He is even preparing to hire an apprentice (学徒), hoping to pass on skills that are becoming increasingly rare.
Social media has helped him reach a wider audience, but his values remain traditional. He believes many modern products are made to be thrown away, while pianos are built to last.
24. What is special about Josiah Jackson’s work
A. He repairs very old pianos found in museums. B. He treats instruments instead of human patients.
C. He teaches how to repair pianos on social media. D. He travels worldwide to give piano performances.
25. We can infer from paragraph 2 that Josiah Jackson ________.
A thinks age is an advantage for his work B. has professional competence for his job
C. is looked down upon for being too young D. finds piano repairing easier than expected
26. Why did Josiah Jackson give up his dream of becoming a performer
A. He found being a performer didn’t match his real desire.
B. He was attracted by the well-paid work of piano tuning.
C. He failed to get professional training for stage performance.
D. He had to focus on his piano repair business in high school.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A Young Musician Finds Fame Online B. Social Media Helps a Young Man Succeed
C. The Challenges of Starting a Business Young D. Bringing Music Back Through Craftsmanship
C
As someone who studies communication, I’d noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators.” When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is “farther away.” When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying “these ideas fit together.” When describing how the market demand “is going up and down,” you could visually show a wave shape with your hands.
To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product.
The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online “likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive.
What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency.” And we found that when ideas feel easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive.
But not all gestures help. Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving, fidgeting (坐立不安) or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract. A practical takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose.
28. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 1
A To compare different types of gestures. B. To explain why gestures attract attention.
C. To show how gestures reflect spoken ideas. D. To list common mistakes in public speaking.
29. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By attending many live TED talks. B. By judging the overall quality of talks.
C By collecting online likes for some talks. D. By reviewing talks and testing audiences.
30. What can be inferred about listeners when speakers use illustrative gestures
A. They give priority to visual meaning. B. They judge the speaker more favorably.
C. They notice more gestures than content. D. They show less interest in abstract ideas.
31. What is the author’s suggestion to speakers
A. Designing some gestures in advance. B. Focusing on the frequency of gestures.
C. Reducing gestures to avoid distraction. D. Keeping gestures purposeful and relevant.
D
In 2019 alone, the US generated 66 million tons of food waste. 60 percent of that waste ended up in landfills. According to one report, the carbon dioxide generated from food waste is equal to the emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants.
To address this issue, a pair of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed an AI-assisted 3D printer capable of converting food waste into everyday kitchen items like cups. They hope their invention, called the Foodres-Ai Printer, can repurpose waste before it reaches trash cans, helping to develop “hyper-local circular (循环的) economies.”
The printer operates with a mobile app. Users take a photo of the waste, and then the app’s object detection AI model analyzes the image. Once the object is identified, the app suggests possible “recipes” for items it could be converted into. Users can choose from pre-made models, such as glasses, or create their own custom objects. After an object is selected, the device automatically adds natural additives and converts them into a bioplastic paste. This paste is then fed into a system with automated heating, which shapes the mixture into the final product. Users can open a panel to get their item.
“The entire process, after loading the material, requires just a single button press and is designed to be accessible even to people with no prior experience using a 3D printer.” Biru Cao writes on her website.
By turning everyday food waste into useful objects, the Foodres-Ai Printer shows how technology can reshape daily habits. Instead of throwing waste away, households are given a practical way to reuse it. If such devices become more common, they could reduce pressure on landfills while encouraging people to take part in more sustainable and responsible living.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By telling a personal story about food waste.
B. By describing the harmful effects of food waste.
C. By presenting data on the severity of food waste.
D. By exploring the underlying causes of food waste.
33. What does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Clarifying. B. Releasing. C. Separating. D. Transforming.
34. What aspect of the new printer does paragraph 3 focus on
A. Its design process. B. Its working principles.
C. Its potential effect. D. Its critical components.
35. Which of the following can best describe the Foodres-AI Printer
A. Time-saving but weighty. B. Single-purpose and costly.
C. User-friendly and innovative. D. Energy-efficient but complex.

72. 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。
I made an appointment with Jack to go to Ice Lake Park over the weekend. We planned to take photos of the winter scenery for a photo competition organized by our school. Both of us enjoyed photography, and we believed the frozen lake would offer a perfect subject for the contest.
Excitement filled me as I prepared that morning. Layers of thick clothes were put on one by one, and my camera was carefully checked before being placed into my bag. Everything felt just right, and I was in a cheerful mood when I met Jack at the park entrance. We talked about angles, light, and the kind of photos that might stand out.
Ice Lake Park was quiet and beautiful. As we walked deeper into the park, the number of visitors slowly decreased. The further we went, the more impressive the scenery became. Tall trees stood still in the cold air, and I hung my camera bag on a branch nearby, thinking it would keep it out of the way while we took photos. The frozen lake looked smooth and clear under the winter sun. The silence made the place feel special, and we decided to stay in this area to take photos, unaware of the danger hidden beneath the ice.
Jack moved around trying to find the best position, while I focused on adjusting my camera. He suggested stepping closer to the lake to capture its reflection. A slight sense of unease crossed my mind, but the beauty of the scene made me hesitate to stop him. Everything seemed calm and harmless.
Without warning, a sharp cracking sound broke the silence. I looked up just in time to see the ice under Jack’s feet break apart. In the next second, he fell straight into the freezing water. My heart raced as Jack struggled in the lake, broken ice floating around him. His face was filled with fear, and his desperate shouts echoed across the empty area. Realizing that no one else was nearby made the situation even more frightening.
注意：（1）词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I froze for a second before coming to my senses.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Jack was finally pulled onto the ground, he could not stop shaking.
