If you spend any significant part of your day streaming music, 2025 may have left you
rethinking those listening habits. These habits have become increasingly boring, passionless, and mechanical since music streaming took off. But positive changes are on the horizon, especially as young people rediscover their love for physical music. If you’re looking to diversify your
music-listening habits in the new year, here’s a list of streaming platforms that you should check out.
Vintage Obscura Radio
This one is for the true music lovers and collectors. An extension of the Vintage Obscura
forum, this platform shines a light on the records collecting dust in the back of someone’s closet. It features no music from the 21st century and no tracks with more than 30,000 views on
YouTube. You can tune into the livestream, and you can also see what songs have played recently.
Radiooooo
This Paris-based website and app uses a similar layout to Radio Garden. Users can explore a virtual globe, tuning into music from different parts of the world. Users can submit music to
Radiooooo for inclusion in the mix (曲库), with preference given to tracks from underrepresented regions or time periods.
Radio Alhara
Broadcasting from Bethlehem since 2020, Radio Alhara features a stylish and simple layout (布局). Inspired by their background in architecture, Yousef and Elias Anastas co-founded the
online radio station with the intention of sharing music between friends. Since then, Radio Alhara has transformed into an international platform, amplifying music and culture from the region, as well as local journalism, civil rights issues, and messages of political resistance.
21 .What has made listening to music more boring
A .The daily routine of listening to music B .The widespread adoption of music streaming C .The growing popularity of physical music D .The mechanical nature of modern life
22 .What is the most distinctive feature of Radiooooo
A .It originated in Paris, France.
B .It has a stylish and simple layout.
C .It allows users to contribute to its library.
D .Its library excludes underrepresented music.
23 .Where is the passage most probably taken from
A .A music textbook. B .A travel guidebook. C .A lifestyle magazine.D .A scientific report.
B
As a kid, my identity was wrapped up in sports. I spent countless hours shooting hoops on my driveway, only to get cut from the middle school basketball team — all three years in a row.
I spent a decade playing soccer, but I didn’t make the high school team. At that point, I
shifted my focus to a new sport: diving. I was bad. I could hardly touch my toes without bending my knees, and I was afraid of heights. But I was determined. I stayed at the pool until it was dark, and my coach had to kick me out to go home. I believed that greatness is built in the daily grind, and eventually, my hard work paid off. By my senior year, I made the All-American list and
qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals. I was obsessed with diving. It was more than something I did — it became who I was.
But when I got to college, the sport I loved became something I started to fear. At that
level, hard work alone was no longer enough to outshine the more naturally talented divers. There was one question, though, that stopped me from rethinking: “If I’m not a diver, who am I ” In
psychology, there’s a term for this kind of failure to rethink — it’s called “identity closure”. It’s when you settle too early on a sense of who you are and close your mind to alternative selves.
After my freshman year of college, I rethought my identity. I realized that diving was a
passion, not a purpose. My values were to grow and excel. I didn’t have to be a diver to grow,
excel, and contribute. Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. Retiring from diving freed up my summer for psychology research and coaching young divers. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby: performing as a magician.
Ever since then, I’ve put an annual reminder in my calendar to rethink. It’s a checkup. Just as I go to the doctor for an annual checkup when nothing seems wrong, I now do the same for the important parts of my life: a career checkup to consider how my goals are shifting, and a
relationship checkup to re-examine my habits. Just as I’d never skip a physical, I no longer skip these.
24 .What primarily motivated the author to persist through his early struggles in diving
A .His coach’s pressure to work harder.
B .His natural talent for the sport.
C .His pure enjoyment of diving itself.
D .His sense of identity tied to diving.
25 .After the freshman year of college, the author decided to .
A .embrace more possible selves B .outwork more talented divers
C .give up diving-related things D .shift his focus to a new sport
26 .According to the author, the retirement from diving was .
A .thrilling B .distracting C .regrettable D .worthwhile
27 .What can you learn from the passage
A .Failure is the mother of success.
B .Where there is a will, there is a way.
C .Regular self-reflection enables personal growth.
D .Our value doesn’t lie in what we do, but who we are.
C
In an age when digital assistants complete our sentences before we fully form them, it’s easy to assume that printed dictionaries have become relics of a pre-digital age. Yet they remain essential, because no tool better reminds us that language is not simply corrected — it is crafted.
Before spell-check and AI, students and writers turned to dictionaries not only to check
meanings but also to explore usage examples and word histories. A student drafting an essay, for instance, might look up “charge” and discover it can mean “accuse”, “rush forward,” or “fill with energy”. Choosing among these possibilities required thought, and that process often shaped the writer’s ideas. An AI assistant, by contrast, may simply replace the word with the most common option, leaving little room for personal intention.
Dictionaries have also played a guiding role in English. Johnson’s and Webster’s
dictionaries, widely used by schools and publishers, helped establish spelling and meaning at a time when regional dialects differed sharply. Even today, when dictionary makers update entries to reflect new expressions such as “ghosting” or “finsta”, they rely on everyday speakers for
evidence. This back-and-forth — public use influencing dictionaries, dictionaries influencing public use — keeps language both flexible and shared.
But this balance is weakening. As online communication takes over daily life, formal
English ebbs. As a result, casual abbreviations (缩写), emojis, and speech-like sentences now
appear in emails and even workplace reports. For many young people, writing “Sounds good!!” reads as more confident than a polished, formal sentence. The shift is understandable, yet it raises
a question: If algorithms (算法) increasingly finish our sentences, do we still learn how to shape them ourselves
AI writing tools offer clean, quick suggestions, but they rely on fixed patterns. As George Orwell once warned, such ready-made phrasing can “think our thoughts” for us. When writers
accept every suggestion, originality slowly disappears. Dictionaries, by contrast, push us to explore options and make deliberate choices.
Our ability to express ourselves shapes who we are. Losing the dictionary would mean losing not only a reference book, but a way of thinking — one that keeps language creative, thoughtful, and deeply human.
28 .What does the example of “charge” show
A .Dictionaries provide detailed word origin information.
B .AI assistants are more efficient than printed dictionaries.
C .Printed dictionaries help users gain deeper insight into words.
D .Students struggle to choose the right meaning of certain words.
29 .What does the underlined word “ebbs” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A .declines. B .arises. C .improves. D .stabilizes.
30 .What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A .No convenience comes without a cost.
B .AI tools contribute much to creative works.
C .Dictionaries provide more fixed word choices than AI tools.
D .George Orwell encouraged the use of existing writing patterns.
31 .Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A .The History of English Dictionaries
B .AI Assistants Threaten Language Creativity
C .The Necessity of Formal English in Digital Age
D .Printed Dictionaries Are Still Essential in Digital Times
D
A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs
— it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of
Science discovered that each person has a distinct nasal (鼻的) breathing pattern — a unique
“fingerprint” that reveals clues about physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences in breathing patterns between individuals with mild depression and those without depression.”
The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In
humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation, and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us To explore this question, they developed a lightweight,
wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as
they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be
really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!”
Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing
patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether
feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood.
However, the current device has drawbacks: the soft tubes placed under the nose can be
uncomfortable and may slip during sleep; additionally, it does not track mouth breathing. The
team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications.
32 .Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned
A .To explain how the brain processes smell.
B .To introduce a newly-invented tracking device.
C .To show a link between breathing and depression.
D .To stress the uniqueness of personal breathing pattern.
33 .What can we infer about the relationship between breathing and mood
A .Changes in breath cure anxiety. B .Their exact relationship remains unclear.
C .Anxiety always causes abnormal breathing. D .Breathing is responsible for negative mood.
34 .What is a limitation of the current wearable device
A .It cannot track nasal airflow for 24 hours straight.
B .It is too heavy to be worn during daily activities.
C .It fails to monitor breathing through the mouth.
D .It can only be used to test healthy young adults.
35 .What is the main finding of this research
A .Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health.
B .Breathing patterns link to identity and health.
C .A groundbreaking device reveals mental health.
D .Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods.

“Be positive!” has become a popular mindset in recent years. 36 But what happens when we take positivity to an extreme Could being blindly optimistic lead to
disappointment While looking on the bright side is generally seen as a virtue, new research suggests that “toxic positivity” might actually harm our mental health.
Toxic positivity occurs when people deny their real emotions and force themselves to stay optimistic. Gitanjali Trevorrow-Seymour, a professional coach, explains that humans are naturally meant to experience a wide range of emotions, from joy and gratitude to sadness and
disappointment. “None of these emotions is meant to be constant,” she says. 37 Like many things in life, mental wellbeing is all about balance.
The danger lies in labeling feelings as “good” or “bad.” When we desperately avoid
“negative” emotions, we end up suppressing our real feelings. This suppression places extra stress on the body, which can eventually lead to anxiety or even physical illness. 38 If we only show our “happy” selves, our social interactions can become shallow and inauthentic.
39 When a friend is going through hard times, responding with “Try to be positive!” may be well-intentioned, but it often dismisses their feelings. Instead of feeling comforted, they may feel forced to put on a brave face, which is mentally exhausting. True support involves acknowledging their pain rather than attempting to “fix” it immediately.
So, should we avoid positive affirmations entirely Not necessarily. 40 The key is to accept all our emotions — sadness, anger, and grief — instead of treating them as problems to be solved. Only by embracing the full human experience can we truly achieve mental health.
A .This issue also affects how we support others.
B .Friends can greatly influence our attitudes towards life.
C .Even those with a bright outlook can feel grief and gloom.
D .They can be useful tools if they feel genuine and grounded.
E .What truly remains constant is a positive mindset and inner peace.
F .Moreover, forced positivity often robs us of deep connections with others.
G .Everyone strives to see the glass as half full and find the rainbow in every situation.

Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her
feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!”
Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny
creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself. Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy
storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name. 注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

Thanks for joining us in this edition of Celebrities. Our guest tonight is Artur Bordalo.
Artur Bordalo was born in 1987 in Lisbon, Portugal. He is famous for using street garbage to
create stunning animal sculptures. His works are considered “trash art”. In 2017, the Irish Film
Board released a short documentary film based on his life entitled Bordalo II: A Life of Waste.
Bordalo studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon for 8 years, but ultimately failed to finish the course. Deeply influenced by his grandfather, Bordalo started
spray-painting walls in the streets at the age of 11. He then chose the stage name Bordalo II in honor of his grandfather. Bordalo’s work is focused on the themes of ecology, waste, and
recycling. Now, let’s welcome Artur Bordalo to tell us more about his project.

( 这早已不只是我做的一件事 ——它已然成为我自身的一部分。)” 可知,作者坚持跳水的核心动力,是这份运动与自身身份的深度绑定,跳水早已超越 “一项运动” 的意义,成为他自我认同的重要组成部分,因此他才会坚持克服困难、刻苦练习。故 D。
25 .细节理解题。根据第四段“After my freshman year of college, I rethought my identity. I
realized that diving was a passion, not a purpose. My values were to grow and excel. I didn’t have to be a diver to grow, excel, and contribute. Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. (在大学一年级结束后,我重新审视了自己的身份。我意识到跳水是一种热爱,而非目标。我的价值观是成长和卓越。我无需成为跳水运动员才能实现这些目标并做出贡献。与其过早定格某一种身份,我们不如尝试多种可能的自我形象。)”可知,作者决定打破单一身份的束缚,尝试更多可能,不再将自我价值局限于跳水这一项运动。故选 A。
26.推理判断题。根据第四段“Retiring from diving freed up my summer for psychology research and coaching young divers. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby: performing
as a magician. (从跳水运动中退役,让我的夏天有时间进行心理学研究和指导年轻跳水运动员。这也让我有时间专注于我最愚蠢的爱好:表演魔术。)” 可知,放弃跳水并非遗憾,反而让作者有机会接触更多领域,获得新的成长,因此这份选择是有意义、有价值的。故选
D。
27 .推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者从最初将自我价值绑定在跳水运动上,到打破局限、尝试多元可能,再到养成定期反思的习惯,核心都是“ 自我反思促进成长” ,因此定期的自我审视和反思,才是推动作者不断成长、明确自我价值的关键。故选 C。

本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在数字时代 AI 普及的背景下,纸质词典依然不可或缺,它能帮助人们深度思考用词、保持语言创造性与人文性。
28 .细节理解题。根据第二段中的 A student drafting an essay, for instance, might look up
“charge” and discover it can mean “accuse”, “rush forward,” or “fill with energy” . Choosing
among these possibilities required thought, and that process often shaped the writer’s ideas.(例如,一个正在起草文章的学生可能会查找“charge”这个词,并发现它可以表示“指控” ,“ 向前冲”或“充满能量” 。在这些可能性中做出选择需要思考,而这个过程往往会塑造作者的想法)可 知,纸质词典能帮助使用者更深入地理解单词。故选 C。
29 .词句猜测题。根据第四段中画线词 ebbs 后面的句子“As a result, casual abbreviations,
emojis, and speech-like sentences now appear in emails and even workplace reports.(因此,随意 的缩写、表情符号和口语化句子出现在邮件甚至工作报告中)”可知,这是对画线词的解释,可推断画线词含有“衰退”之意,与 declines 意思相近。故选 A。
30 .推理判断题。根据第五段中的“AI writing tools offer clean, quick suggestions, but they rely on fixed patterns… When writers accept every suggestion, originality slowly disappears.(AI 写作工具提供简洁快速的建议,但依赖固定模式;作者全盘接受会慢慢失去原创性)”可知,AI带来便利的同时也付出了失去创造力的代价,即“没有一种便利是不需要付出代价的”。故选
A。
31 .主旨大意题。首段中的“Yet they remain essential, because no tool better reminds us that
language is not simply corrected — it is crafted.(然而,它们仍然至关重要,因为没有任何工具能比它们更好地提醒我们,语言并非仅仅是被修正的——它是被精心雕琢的)”是主旨句,they指代前句中的“printed dictionaries(纸质词典)” ,后文围绕纸质词典在数字时代依然必不可少展开论述,D 项表示“纸质词典在数字时代依然必不可少”,与文章主旨相吻合,可作为本文标题。故选 D。

本文是一篇说明文。讲述了一项新研究发现,核心是呼吸模式与身心健康的关联。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct nasal breathing pattern—a unique “fingerprint” that reveals clues about physical and mental health.(以色列魏茨曼科学研究所的科学家发现,每个人都有独特的鼻腔呼吸模式 —— 一种独特的“指纹”,能揭示身心健康线索)”可知,提及呼吸“指纹”是为了强
调个人呼吸模式的独特性。故选 D。
33.推理判断题。根据第四段“Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction —
whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety.(重要的是,研究人员指出,他们目前只知道呼吸与情绪之间存在关联,但还不清楚其因果关系的方向——是感到焦虑导致呼吸发生变化,还是某种呼吸模式引发了焦虑)”可知,呼吸与情绪的具体因果关系尚不明确。故选 B。
34.细节理解题。根据第五段“However, the current device has limitations: it cannot track mouth breathing, and the soft tubes under the nose may slip during sleep.(然而,当前设备存在局限性:无法追踪用嘴呼吸的情况,鼻子下的软管在睡眠时可能会滑落)”可知,当前设备的局限是无法监测用嘴呼吸且软管易滑落。故选 C。
35.细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct nasal breathing pattern—a unique “fingerprint” that reveals clues about physical and mental health.(以色列魏茨曼科学研究所的科学家发现,每个人都有独特的鼻腔呼吸模式 —— 一种独特的“指纹” ,能揭示身心健康线索)”可知,这项研究的主要发现是呼吸模式与身心健康的关联。故选 B。

39 .下文“When a friend is going through hard times, responding with “Try to be positive!” may be well-intentioned, but it often dismisses their feelings.(当朋友经历困难时期时,用“试着积极点!”来回应可能是出于好意,但这往往忽视了他们的感受。)”描述了用积极心态回应朋友困难时的不足。由此可知,本空应描述与支持他人或回应他人困难相关的内容,且为下文的具体例子做铺垫。选项 A“这个问题也影响我们如何支持他人”提出了一个问题,即如何支持他人,与下文描述的回应朋友困难时的不足相呼应。故选 A。
40.上文“So, should we avoid positive affirmations entirely Not necessarily.(那么,我们应该完全避免积极的肯定吗?不一定。)”提出了一个关于是否应完全避免积极肯定的问题,并给出了否定的回答;下文“The key is to accept all our emotions — sadness, anger, and grief — instead of treating them as problems to be solved.(关键是要接受我们所有的情绪——悲伤、愤怒和悲 伤——而不是把它们当作需要解决的问题来对待。)”强调了接受所有情绪的重要性。由此可知,本空应描述积极肯定的作用或条件,且与上下文提到的接受情绪和避免极端化相呼应。选项 D“如果它们是真诚和有根据的,它们可以是有用的工具”描述了积极肯定在真诚和有根

Don’t Be Afraid to Get Your Feet Wet
The saying “Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet if you want to learn how to swim” carries a simple yet profound message: learning requires stepping out of our comfort zone. It tells us that
progress comes only from facing the unknown.
I once dared not join the English debate team for fear of making mistakes. I just listened silently but made no progress. Later, I plucked up my courage to take part. I stammered at first, but fear soon disappeared. I gained far more than before.
From this experience, I learned that we cannot master a skill from a safe distance. Only by daring to fail can we truly begin to learn and grow.

To her horror, the basket was empty. Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name. Tears welled up in her eyes as she
imagined the worst, fearing that Pip might have been blown away by the storm or hurt by the
falling branches. She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the sparrow gently in his
hands, his expression a mix of concern and embarrassment. “I found him hiding under my porch,” he said, his voice softer than usual. “The storm was too strong for him.” Jane rushed over, tears of relief streaming down her face as she took Pip back. She looked up at Mr. Thompson, her eyes
shining with gratitude. “Thank you.” she whispered, her heart overflowing with joy and newfound respect for her neighbor.
