There is a particular sort of box that hides in every home, full of “memorabilia” or “mementos”. Baby teeth, divorce certificates, spare keys for locks unknown; the whole thing is filled with association, emotion, nostalgia (怀旧) and pain. That box is my rival. That box is my doom (劫数).
But listen to me: you can get rid of these things. Your child’s reception maths book Put it in the recycling bin, my friends, and feel that burden lift. That second cheese grater given to you by a well-meaning uncle Take it to a charity shop and delight in the feeling of relief.
God, I love throwing things away. Not the irresponsible rush of pouring perfectly usable items into landfill, of course. But taking a box of toys to a charity shop when my son is at school Delicious. Handing out unworn clothes to friends and neighbors Delightful. Recycling early drafts of my book Incredible. Frankly, I hope we will all have better things to do than read through our old notebooks, diaries or letters. So, I put them in the recycling. That sweet unburdening release can cheer me up for the rest of the day.
I grew up in a house where sentimentality (多愁善感) was a disease. When our old gas oven broke, my sister made my parents bury it in the garden with a full, flowery ceremony because she wasn’t yet ready to say goodbye. My father cries every time he looks at one of the blankets knitted by his mother — despite the fact that it is on his bed. In this environment, it was inevitable that at least one child was going to go the other way.
There is still plenty in my home that is ugly and works badly, but sadly I haven’t sold enough flowery wallpaper to be able to afford to replace it. But when the opportunity arises, do I leap at the chance to throw that stuff out of my house and move on You bet your box of doom I do.
24．Why does the author say that box is her doom
A．Because it is a burden to the author.
B．Because it is a symbol of the author’s failure.
C．Because it contains items with painful memories.
D．Because it makes the author’s house a total mess.
25．How does the author find the act of getting rid of items
A．Generous. B．Beneficial. C．Cautious. D．Irresponsible.
26．Why does the author mention her family members in paragraph 4
A．To introduce a family tradition.
B．To identify the reason for her behavior.
C．To emphasize her opposition to family values.
D．To criticize them for being overly emotional.
27．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The author is determined to clear unwanted things.
B．The author plans to donate unused things to charity.
C．The author wants to repair broken things but it is costly
D．The author will keep meaningful things for their emotional value.
A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduce dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to their original state.
28．What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”
A．The damage has been done. B．The rangers’ work is efficient.
C．The cleanup takes a long time. D．The pollution has spread widely.
29．What is a result of foreign waste in public lands
A．A shortage of food supplies. B．A shift in animal behavior.
C．A decrease in bacterial species. D．An increase in conflicts between animals.
30．Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5
A．To praise their benefits to desert life. B．To highlight our ignorance of wildlife.
C．To stress their significance for photography. D．To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
31．It is conveyed in this passage that we should ______.
A．encourage wildlife protection B．promote national park tourism
C．leave no trace in the wild D．restore ecological damage
While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds.
A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused.
Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out.
Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice.
Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.”
32．What can we learn about artful thinking
A．It simplifies problem-solving. B．It focuses on developing our brains.
C．It prevents us from over-relying on AI. D．It helps promote high-tech machinery.
33．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Benefits of artful intelligence. B．Mind-body awareness in thinking.
C．Significance of being mindful. D．Social interaction through movements.
34．What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world
A．Enhance the flexibility of attention. B．Adapt to the rise of AI.
C．Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D．Improve the levels of focus.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B．Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds
C．Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D．Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI
What is “Spaying”
Impulse buying. Paying bills late. Emotional spending. 36 . But other practices are more harmful — like “spaying.”
“Spaying” refers to the act of spending in order to save. With many items on sale, spayers purchase a lot of discounted goods, believing they can save in the long term. 37 . In fact, they can trick you into spending more, leading to credit card debt. To avoid falling into the trap of spaying, experts share practical tips on how to make wiser purchasing decisions.
38
Resist the desire to spay by avoiding sale reminders however possible. It is advised to unsubscribe from newsletters that send you the latest sales and deals from your favorite brands. Turn off notifications in deal apps — or delete them altogether.Set aside a waiting period
Always sleep on a potential purchase to give yourself time to think it over. 39 . Experts recommended adopting a 24-hour waiting period, or even going a step further with a 48-hour rule before buying something, even if it’s on sale.Make a spending budget
Assess your spending habits to create awareness and come up with a plan to cut back little by little. It’s also a good idea to take a look at just how much you’ve spent over the year so far on excess purchases, which can be shocking and give you an urge to make changes.
If you’re buying something to make yourself feel better after a bad day or as a reward for a job well done, the fleeting feelings will pass. 40 .
A．Avoid sale pushes.
B．Stick to your shopping list.
C．It’s clear why these financial habits are bad.
D．This allows that excitement of the deal to fade.
E．If you do, even another ten dollars will be spent.
F．However, cheap items are not necessarily good deals.
G．So do find other ways to cope with sadness or to celebrate wins.

六、书面表达
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。
Li Wei, a high school senior, had always felt confused between her mother’s expectation and her own dream. Her mother, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, ran a small clinic in their town. The air inside was always filled with the earthy smell of dried herbs. Her mother had long hoped Li Wei would take over the family business. “A career in medicine is a good choice, and it connects us to our roots,” her mother often said, pointing to the old books lining on the shelves.
But Li Wei’ s heart belonged to classical dance. She spent hours practicing in secret, and her room was full of posters of international dance groups. One evening, while helping her mother prepare herbs, Li Wei accidentally knocked over a jar of ginseng (人参). As she hurried to clean up, her mother’s voice cut through the silence, “You’ re too distracted. This is why you can’t focus on your studies— and the clinic.”
Li Wei’ s cheeks turned red. “I don’ t want to be a doctor!” she shouted. “I want to dance!” Before her mother could answer, Li Wei grabbed her bag and ran out, leaving the clinic door moving.
Weeks passed, and the tension between them reached boiling point. Li Wei avoided the clinic, spending long hours at dance practices even though her knees had become swollen and red. When she did come home, the house was full of cold silence, broken only by the occasional noise of her mother’s tool grinding (研磨) herbs. But Li Wei couldn’t miss the way her mother’s eyes looked at her dance shoes, or the soft sighs that came from her during their rare talks. She was eager for her mother’s support.
Then came a big chance: a national dance competition. Li Wei’ s hands shook as she filled out the application form, her heart beating fast. But when she looked at the bottom of the page, she felt scared. The form needed a parent’s signature, a sad reminder of the gap between her and her mother.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket.

1．C
【原文】W: I spent the past two summers on classes and charity work. This will be my first chance to explore a new place alone.
M: How long will your trip be
W: I’ll leave a week after break starts and return a few weeks before school begins.
2．C
【原文】M: It’s been a good beach day, but I’m not sure this beach was worth the long drive.
W: I agree. It’s far from the best, even compared with others nearby. This spot isn’t worth revisiting!
3．C
【原文】W: If it were earlier, we’d use the campus study hall. But we’ll need to go elsewhere now.
M: The public library is closed. Let’s go to a big place that sells tea or coffee.
W: Perfect, we’ll buy drinks and study there.
4．B
【原文】M: I made it to London, but my things didn’t make the flight.
W: We’ll check where your suitcase was last found. Were you late to check in Any important documents inside
M: Just clothes, and I was on time. I’m not sure what happened.
5．B
【原文】W: I’d struggled with work until I learned to look on the bright side. Now I see it as a chance to learn, grow, and give back.
M: That’s a mature shift. How
W: I stopped hating every task and started finding what I could gain from each one.
6．B 7．C
【原文】W: Do you know why I stopped you
M: I don’t usually drive through this area, so I’m sorry if I was above the speed limit.
W: It wasn’t your speed. This is a school zone. Many children use this crossing. You didn’t notice the students waiting to cross.
M: Sorry. I was focused on getting back to work and didn’t check carefully.
W: Schools close at 3:30 p.m., and I always stay for another hour and a half after that. During this time, all drivers must slow down and stop for people crossing.
8．B 9．A 10．C
【原文】W: Jack, I’m surprised to see you! I was only expecting people from my school to be here. How do you know the host
M: She’s an old classmate. It’s funny seeing you outside the office after all these years.
W: Right! I forgot you two went to school together. We must’ve talked about that while we were working together.
M: True. And she throws the best parties. I knew this place was famous for great food and a big hall. But I had no idea there’d be this many guests!
W: Totally agree. We should catch up more. I want to hear about your new job.
M: I haven’t even seen the birthday girl yet. I’d better track her down and thank her for inviting me.
W: I’ll grab a plate, and let’s talk later.
11．A 12．B 13．A
【原文】W: I’ve completely changed my nightly routine.
M: Did you cut back on TV play series
W: Exactly. I still watch sports matches or movies sometimes, though I used to spend hours every night watching series. But I didn’t really gain anything.
M: So, how did you change
W: Now I’ve replaced series with documentaries. It’s turned relaxation time into learning time.
M: I’ve never thought of that. I usually watch comedies for laughs, not learning.
W: Positive feelings matter too, especially if you share them with others. Still, mixing in something informative helps. Here, this one explores ancient history and culture.
M: Great, I’d love to. Though those subjects sound closer to my interests than yours.
W: You’re right. I’m more into the environment, biology, and physics. But I want to find something related to the subjects you love!
14．A 15．A 16．A 17．C
【原文】W: Before my recording team arrives, I’d love to gain a clearer idea of what your program is about. That will help me ask better questions during our interview.
M: Great idea. Local government leaders launched this to make our school a place for everyone in the community. As a teacher, I help connect people and create opportunities through the program.
W: Now, workers and parents come in the late afternoons and evenings. Do they take specialty night classes related to their jobs
M: Of course! We expected business-plan writing to be most popular, but the surprise hits have been both literature and professional skills. Most adults want a space to read novels and discuss them together.
W: That’s inspiring. And part of the exchange is that while adults study here, students volunteer and learn at local workplaces. Is that right
M: Yes. For now, most students donate time at city hall and other public offices. Over time, we’ll add placements with businesses and even agriculture projects.
W: What a valuable way for students to meet decision-makers and build real connections!
M: Exactly. Beyond teaching career skills, we aim to act as a bridge between different local groups.
18．C 19．B 20．A
【原文】
W: Thanks for coming to this art gallery opening. As you can see, all the art here has been painted and created to represent and celebrate local natural beauty. We come from such a beautiful place, so it is very important to realize how at risk it is. I’m not saying this to scare anyone, but to remind us how much we love our planet and how important it is to protect what we love.
Here, you’ll see images of hills on fire, powerful typhoons, and rising floods. Within our coastal city, the biggest danger is sea-level rise. Many local artists have painted our streets and train stations underwater to show how real these risks are.
Before we open the room to guests, I want to share the origin of this show. The initial idea was not fundraising or even climate messaging. We simply wanted to expand art classes in our community centers. That modest goal grew into this exhibition as students, teachers, and neighbors offered their talent, stories, and support.
Because of everyone of you, more workshops will launch next month. To thank you for helping us reach this moment, I’d like to invite several of our lead supporters to say a few words about the student program.

66．Dear Ben,
Sorry to hear that you were criticized by your teacher for using AI to complete your homework, I’m writing to share my thoughts on this matter and offer some advice.
From my perspective, while AI brings much convenience, relying on it for homework isn’t appropriate. Therefore, I advise you to complete your homework independently. Moreover, if you encounter difficulties, you are supposed to seek help from teachers or classmates. Do bear in mind that the process of overcoming challenges is where real learning happens.
I hope my suggestions will be of some help to you. I am looking forward to hearing your progress soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
67．【参考范文】
That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand. Her mother was carefully weighing dried herbs at the counter. With a deep breath, Li Wei placed the form in front of her, ready to brace herself for the refusal she had long expected. Her mother wiped her hands on her apron and picked up the paper. After a moment of careful reading, she signed her name without a word. Then, she reached under the counter, took out a small sachet, and placed it gently in Li Wei’ s hand. “Keep this with you,” she said softly. “It will help you stay calm.” A sense of warmth welled up in Li Wei’ s heart, resolving to do her utmost in the competition.
Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket. It was her first time competing on such a major stage. Great panic almost made her forget how to dance. Just then her mother appeared quietly beside her, “The clinic is my path, but this stage is your journey.” Her words lingered in the air like a blessing. Li Wei breathed in the sachet’ s calming scent, felt her fear loosen, and gave her mother’ s hand a grateful squeeze. Stepping into the lights, Li Wei danced — and in her movement, two separate dreams converged into a moment of perfect understanding.
