Finding Focus in a Distracted World
It is really hard to prevent your mind from wandering. Most people remember(1) (tell)to stop daydreaming and focus at school; for adults, maintaining concentration remains a challenge.Therefore, there is necessity for us to understand the science behind focus and recognize the very strategies(2) can make a substantial difference.
Scientists, after their exploration of (3) our brain's concentration is enhanced, have uncovered practical strategies for staying“in the zone”. According to Science Focus, managing your environment is essential. Silence offers the best conditions for deep concentration. And gentle background noise,(4) coffee shop talking, also shows effectiveness in improving concentration. Furthermore, switching off instant messages or powering down smartphones(5. (remove) significant digital distractions and sharpens focus on immediate tasks.
Besides environmental adjustments, another effective method involves mental training.Attention researcher Nilli Lavie from University College London has discovered that making tasks visually exhausting occupies more processing power, decreasing the possibility for distractions. And this discovery suggests that(6) . strengthen) our ability to maintain attention, we should train our mind to activate more processing power when facing tasks.
More practical techniques are introduced to keep your mind(7) (concentrate) on what you are doing. Selecting a workspace free from temptation, creating a to-do list ranking tasks clearly,or even chewing gum proves beneficial. Research suggests chewing may occupy certain brain regions that are easily distracted, thus anchoring attention more effectively. These behavioral adjustments work wonderfully well respectively, and when combined, they can improve focus to a(8) (great) extent.
Nevertheless, distraction is not entirely negative. Science Focus notes that constant, steady focus would cause us to overlook potential threats and other important environmental changes. In this sense,distraction serves an essential survival function. The key takeaway is balance:(9) we should apply strategies to improve concentration, we must recognize that a distraction-free state is neither realistic nor desirable. Ultimately, a balanced mental state,(10) I nat allows for both focused work and environmental awareness, remains the healthies t long-term approach.

Why Are Photos Taken During Blue Hour
As a professional photographer, I' ve taken many of my favorite pictures at blue hour—— the time of day before sunrise or after sunset when the atmosphere has a deep, dark blue color. Blue hour is not really an hour—— its exact length depends on your location, time of year, and weather conditions.The important thing is that the sun is a(n) way oeneath the horizon so the sky has neither too many nor too few sunrise or sunset colors—— mainly just blue.
There are reasons why blue hour is so precious. First, not as many people take photos at blue hour compared to sunrise and sunset. This gives you the chance to capture appealing images at popular locations with limited or even zero crowds. Second, blue hour seizes certain emotions in the scenes that are 1. tricky to express. The color blue carries its own unique emotional expression:sadness, peace, and so on. If your photo such emotional expression, it's hard to ignore this time of day. Third, blue hour combines tunes of a photo into an integrated whole. I once struggled to keep colors in my photos in 14 for the best possible results but failed. Fortunately, the magic power of blue hour helps to 15 that. Green trees, yellow flowers and red rocks all appear some kind of blue——16 colors go along well in the images taken at that time. Fourth, there is possibility that other 17 of light, such as warm light from buildings, create an important circumstance when portions of your photo do not turn blue during the blue hour. In such a case, your photo has a beautiful orange-blue color 18 ——a lovely flavor beyond its previous harmonious presence. However, there is usually only a brief window when the natural and artificial lights are about the same brightness, so a(n) 19 click of the camera button is the critical step to make for the most even exposure between them.
In spite of the careful techniques and right settings the blue hour photography requires, it 20 you with great pictures. The emotions of blue hour do not work for each scene or photo, but when they do, you will be amazed.
II. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Yale University have successfully developed a 3D bioprinting method that produces working artificial skin with full blood vessel(血管)networks. This represents an important step forward in making skin 21 that can successfully join with the body's original system.
Current medical choices for serious burn sufferers and patients with large wounds remain 22 One is self-donated skin transplants. While useful when they work, they may cause new wounds at the donation areas and are often restricted by how much healthy skin is available, which can be very 23 for patients with extensive burns. The other choice is the standard artificial skin product, usually made from animal skin. They act as short-term biological coverings that lack functional blood vessels and often meet immune(免疫的) system 24. This can cause tissue damage, and the eventual loss of the transplant. More advanced alternatives that can 25 human skin's structure and function are in urgent need.
、 , the research team uses a special bio-ink to reproduce the skin. They use skin cells from part of a baby's body to constitute the 27 For the underlying layer, they use a mixture of cells from a baby's blood from the birth cord(脐带) and a sticky substance from rat tails.
After the layer-by-layer printing, the cells form detailed blood vessel networks similar to 28 blood vessels. Test results have shown outstanding success in animal studies, with artificial skin showing working blood vessels 9 the mice's own blood flow within four weeks.This allows continuous blood flow between the original system and the 30 boosting survival and tissue development.
Despite these 3. developments, a long journey lies ahead before medical use becomes possible. Researchers first need to develop fully 32 alternatives because the current use of animal skin risks immune reactions. 33 , the technology requires further development to include important skin parts such as hair roots and feeling nerves. And skin color control, achievable 34 by adding color cells, needs experimental assessment to ensure steady and visually matching results across different patient groups.
Though things like overcoming regulatory barriers pose equally critical challenges alongside technical development, the science community widely agrees that 3D bioprinting holds significant potential to 35 burn and wound care.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The summer I turned 40,I started running—— not in an athletic or disciplined way, but desperately,almost breathlessly. I was struggling with anxiety after giving birth to our second child. My mind felt like a room with 100 voices, all of them screaming. I couldn't quiet the panic. A doctor suggested that instead of trying to calm my thoughts, I should try to connect with my body.“Start small,” she said,“Just move.”
So, I put on an old pair of sports shoes. My goal was to run to the end of my street—— just one mailbox down. I made it, but my lungs burned and my legs shook. I walked home, defeated. Yet, the next day, I tried again. And the day after that.
Slowly, the mailbox turned into two mailboxes, then a lap around the block. I was slow. I was awkward. But I was moving.
During those runs, I began to understand something. Running, especially when you don't feel like it, is an act of leadership over your own soul. You are both the president and the citizen of your body. The part of you that wants to quit, to go home, to collapse on the sofa, is the tired citizen. The part of you that says,“Just one more step,”“Just to that tree,” is the president—— the one who must decide for the good of the whole, who must carry the weight of the effort even when it's hard.
My anxiety had made me a passive passenger in my own life. Running taught me how to show up and lead. It was on a run, about three months in, struggling up a hill, that a clear thought broke through the mental noise:“I am doing something hard, and I am okay.” My body, which had felt like the root of my failure (too tired, too weak, too anxious), became the root of my strength.
I never ran a marathon. My pace never got impressively fast. But I learned to run like a president:to make the hard choice to move forward when every fiber wants to stop; 39 .
36. What is the best title for this passage
A. Silencing the 100 Voices
B. From Mailboxes to Marathons
C. Running as the President of Your Own Life
D. The Restorative Power of a Doctor's Advice
37. Why did the writer start running
A. To deal with her hearing problem.
B. To manage anxiety through movement.
C. To counter the panic about aging after 40.
D. To create personal space in a crowded world.
38. The sentence“Running taught me how to show up and lead.” in paragraph 5 indicates that
A. I figured out how to show up on the running track
B. running taught me to let the body naturally lead the soul
C. I discovered how to take control of my life through running
D. running helped me stop being passive and start leading others
39. Which of the following best fits in the blank in the last paragraph
A. to claim my presence in a distant world— to feel real again
B. to keep going even when I can't run fast— to lead a slow life
C. to meet the part of myself I run away from— the imperfect part
D. to bear the discomfort for a greater good— the good of my own life

How to Observe Variable Stars
Variable stars are, as the name suggests, stars that vary in brightness. They can be interesting to observe, and this is where amateur astronomy can make great contributions to the professional area.
Step 1: Finding Variable Stars
#1 Go out observing stars. Go out and familiarize yourself with the stars.
#2 Identify a variable star you want to observe (target star).
#3 Find a couple of non-variable stars (guide stars) near your star. These stars should be of a similar brightness to your target star.
#4 Compare how bright the variable star is to the guide stars every night.
Step 2: Recording Your Observations
#1 Get yourself a notebook and a pencil. If you need a flashlight, place a red filter(过滤器) when the light shines through. Using a flashlight without doing this will ru in your night vision.
#2 At the top, write down the name of the target star and then the guide stars.
#3 Every night, record how bright your target star is compared to the guide stars. Write down the date and time as well.
#4 Try drawing a chart of how your target star changes in its brightness. The chart can help you identify what type of variable star you are observing.
Sep 3: Identifying the Types
#1 Based on your chart, judge if your target star belongs to the main types or the rarer types of variable stars. The main types generally have regular and predictable variations, while the rarer types don't.
#2 If your target star belongs to the main types of variable stars, click here for reference charts to identify its subtype. If it belongs to the rarer types, refer to the following explanations and reference charts.
· Flare stars spend most of their time at a low brightness, and sometimes, for a few minutes,jump up in brightness.
Recurrent novae are similar to flare stars, but they have much greater jumps in brightness,and jumps are a lot rarer.
· R Coronae Borealis stars spend most time at their maximum brightness. At unpredictable intervals, their brightness decreases quickly, and then goes back up.
· Supernovae are rare events. When a star runs out of fuel, its life changes dramatically. They are incredibly bright, but seeing one with the naked eye can be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
(* In the above reference charts, T stands for TIME; B stands for BRIGHTNESS.)
40. We can learn about star observation from the passage that .
A. guide stars should be chosen before a target star
B. proper use of flashlights requires an extra device
C. Supernovae are better observed with the naked eye
D. drawing charts is aimed to compare the target stars
41. Which of the following chart best illustrates the change in brightness of a Recurrent nova
42. This passage is taken from a website. From which section will we mostly like find it
A. Career Planning B. Sightseeing
C. Family vacations D. Productive Hobbies
(C)
What makes the brain able to help us perform complex tasks in an amazing way Precision isn't the answer; instead, it all comes down to the brain's messiness.
Hengen, a biologist at Washington University, together with other scientists, refers to this idea as the critical brain hypothesis(假说). According to them, grey matter in our brain lies near a tipping point between order and disorder that they call the critical zone. They reach the conclusion that criticality—— the state of being in the critical zone—— offers a powerful set of guidelines for understanding brain function and dysfunction. Therefore, the hypothesis may aid us to figure out the divide in intelligence and the purpose of sleep, among other things.
What makes people smarter That the healthy brain, while awake, never moves too far from criticality suggests that it must carry some great advantages. One of them is the range of information sending and processing. Since the critical systems are scale-invariant, signals can be passed over both small and large distances in the brain, which enables communication both within and between different brain regions. The fact that a healthy brain can explore the entire space for solutions guarantees its excellent adaptiveness to new situations. And the enhanced flexibility arising from the critical zone could be seen in an experiment done in Finland. The participants had to play a computer game that constantly changed its rules, which required them to update their approach quickly. The closer their brains were to the critical point, the better they performed. It is also suspected that the brain's closeness to the critical point may be especially important for creativity.
Why do people sleep Large departures from the critical zone—— either into order or disorder——may cause brain dysfunction. The longer we work the brain, the further it moves from the tipping point, but sleep helps to tune it back. Hengen found that without that rest period, the brain would fail to reach its best state, resulting in the reduction of cognitive (认知的) performance that has long been known to accompany sleeplessness. According to O' Byrne from the University of Montreal, the most important function of sleep may be to allow the brain's connections to be adjusted and to return whole-brain dynamics to the critical point.
43. What does the expression this idea in paragraph 2 mean
A. The structure of the brain is a complex system.
B. Precision of the tasks affects the brain's function,
C. The brain is able to complete given tasks in an amazing way.
D. Messiness of the brain enables it to handle complex problems.
44. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that
A. adaptability is not as closely connected to criticality as creativity
B. the changing rules promotes people's performance in playing games
C. signals’ quick passing in the brain represents its excellent adaptiveness
D. closeness to criticality allows cross-regional communication in the brain
45. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Frequent use of brain moves it from disorder.
B. Sleep can serve to enlarge brain's critical zone.
C. Sleep aids in bringing the brain back to criticality.
D. Brain's approaching criticality causes sleeplessness.
46. What is the passage mainly about
A. When the brain reaches and leaves the tipping point.
B. What the critical brain hypothesis means and reveals.
C. How criticality affects different people's intelligence.
D. Why brain function and dysfunction are so important.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. Furthermore, Diao helps the insurance companies to assess elephant-related damages. B. Now various preparations of the park are progressing steadily in line with good planning. C. Therefore, local people decided to combine-their own efforts to drive the elephants away. D. In response to the application, local laws and policies are made and enacted at a fast pace. E. That is a severe problem facing the local people and different sides are attempting to solve it. F. To him, the park is a combination of locals' peace and content ment and elephants' suitable habitats.
Efforts to Enhance Wild Elephant Conservation
Deep in the rainforests of southwest China's Yunnan Province, every time winter comes, the amount of wild food goes down, leading to elephants’ frequent visits to villages in search of food. InJiangcheng County, Pu’ èr City, more than 50 wild Asian elephants live all year round. The damage they cause is shocking. 47
A dedicated team is now working to ensure peaceful coexistence between humans and wild elephants, and Diao Faxing is the leader. He and his coworkers are tasked with monitoring Asian elephants and giving alerts. They must track the movements of dozens of elephants in real time over nearly 1,000 square kilometers. Once spotting elephants in the area, they give warnings to nearby villagers to keep their distance without delay.
48 He explained that in 2010, Yunnan Province started a public insurance system for wild animal incidents, fully funded by the government. The elephants usually come to eat villagers’ crops and then leave, which is almost like the locals are raising them. When such incidents occur, insurance companies pay money to households to make up for their losses. Thanks to proper assessment of the damage and government's financial support, the system works smoothly.
In 2022, Yunnan successsfully applied to the State Council to establish the Asian ElephantNational Park, with the proposed area covering over 386 square kilometers. 9 First,China's National Park Law, which came into force on January 1,2026, has provided a strong legal foundation for the park's establishment. And according to the Department of Nature ReserveManagement Office, other preparation is also advancing—— baseline research, specialized resource surveys, habitat restoration, ecological repair, public education, and conflict resolution. The goal is to enhance protection and spread awareness to support the park's establishment.
Diao sees a win-win situation for both nature and human being.“Building an Asian ElephantNational Park gives elephants a home. At the same time, we could develop tourism, with local people helping to attract visitors,” he said. 50 And that is the cornerstone of coexistence between people and elephants.
III. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
51. Helping Helps
Our bodies age at different rates, but offering regular help can reduce the rate of brain aging by around 15 to 20 percent, according to a research team from the University of Texas and the University of Massachusetts. The findings are based on telephone survey data from 31,303 people over 50.Scores on brain tests were mapped against helping behavior, whether structured volunteering with an organization or simply giving friends, relatives and neighbors a hand as needed. The benefits were evident for both.
Researchers have tried to dig out the mechanism behind and one of their findings is that helping others regularly provides much mental stimulation. When we offer support, our brains are actively engaged in exercises that strengthen neural (神经的) connections. Much like a muscle, the brain strengthens with frequent use. Dealing with other people's challenges and understanding their perspectives create new neural pathways. Over time, such stimulation helps maintain sharp memory and various other mental functions. Moreover, it has been found that helping reduces loneliness through shifting the helpers' focus outward and making their connection with other people. Far from being just a feeling, loneliness acts as a biological cause of stress that can fundamentally alter the brain's structure and chemistry. Reducing loneliness protects the brain, ultimately leading to longer-term brain function, for example, extending good logical reasoning into older age.
Accordingly, researchers suggest that people spend around two to four hours per week helping others since it is the sweet spot for benefit. It's possible that beyond that point, the mental and physical efforts of being a helper start to have a negative impact. They also support the argument for ensuring senior adults opportunities to give back to others or their community, because it is shown that seniors' constant helping is associated with more effective brain power.
IV. Translation
