Every March, Brain Awareness Week works to increase public support for brain science. It's also a good time
to think about how our daily habits can strengthen our brains for life.
Our brain controls everything we do:thinking, remembering, moving, and feeling. Caring for it supports our
overall health and quality of life. Recently, the Global Council on Brain Health(GCBH)has found that brain health
is deeply interconnected with physical health, mental well-being, and lifestyle choices.
Here are four key pillars for brain health suggested by the GCBH, with practical steps you can take.
Category Core Function Specific Suggestions
1. 150 minutes of moderate exercise (walking/cycling)
Physical Boosts brain blood flow, enhances weekly; 2. Strength training 2– 3 times a week; 3.
Exercise memory, promotes brain cell growth Balance exercises (yoga/tai chi); 4. Stick to enjoyable
activities
1. Fixed sleep schedule (including weekends); 2.
Cleans the brain, consolidates
Relaxing bedtime routine (reading/meditation); 3. Avoid
Sleep memories, boosts attention &
afternoon caffeine & screens before bed; 4. Keep
decision-making
bedroom cool, dark & quiet
1. More leafy greens, berries, nuts, fish & whole grains;
Supports memory, protects brain 2. Limit processed food, sugar & salt; 3. Choose lean
Nutrition
function proteins (fish, beans, chicken); 4. Add brain foods
(blueberries, walnuts)
1. Puzzles, new language, strategy games; 2. Frequent
Mental Keeps brain sharp, active & reading & educational podcasts; 3. New skills (gardening,
Stimulation adaptable drawing, coding); 4. Vary activities to train different brain
areas
You don't need to change everything at once. Start with one small step:go to bed 20 minutes earlier, take a
short walk, add a vegetable to your meal, or call a friend. Small, consistent actions lead to real improvements for
your brain and overall health.
36. Based on the passage, what can we infer about the GCBH's view on lifestyle
A. It has a significant connection with brain health.
B. It is the only factor that affects mental health.

B
I enjoy the virtue I get from walking to the library to pick up my book. The space devoted to holds(预约图书))
is almost as big as the rest of the shelves now. They don't have as many books out on the main bookshelves
anymore. It feels like an orphanage for books nobody wants to put a hold on.
I am certain the books I order gossip about me while waiting. The nonfiction looks down on the popular
novels, and the literary classics on everything else. They have plenty of time. When I place a hold, I'm number 257
in line for 22copies. This convinces me that others want to read it, too. Since everything is done on the honor
system now and there are no overdue fines, I have to try really hard to get the little princesses read and returned.
The other day, I returned a book with nothing new to pick up, so I wandered the shelves like in the old days.
Anyway, there was a novel I hadn't read, by an author I admire! I checked it out and sneaked away as though I'd
found a diamond ring in a dark alley. I started reading it that night. It was not that good. This author had won the
Pulitzer Prize, but not for this sad little one. Still, I gave it every chance. Maybe it would prove itself on the last
page.
It did not.
And it was almost overdue. But the library wasn't urging me to do it. Apparently, word was out:Nobody else
wanted to read it, either. And, when I went to return it, the library was closed. The sign directed me to the renewed
location, 3 miles from home. Renovations were complete.
It was gorgeous. There was art; there was light; there were cozy chairs, community rooms, and large windows.
In a world where facts are sometimes manufactured to order and the truth can twist out of reach, there is comfort
and harmony in a library that stays put.
I returned my book, four weeks late. No one was in line to check it out. As I slipped the book into the return
slot, I gave it a gentle pat. "Find a shelf and make yourself at home,” I whispered. The library is my home now, too.
41. This personification of books gossiping and looking down on each other is mainly used to___.
A. emphasizes the author's boredom of waiting for the hold
B. provides facts about strictly categorized book arrangement
C. illustrates the competitive nature of the publishing industry
D. adds humor and vitality to the gentle and reflective narration
42. It can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 that the author
A. felt secretly thrilled and lucky about the find
B. was afraid of being noticed with a rare book
C. thought the book could be traded for jewelry
第 4 页 共 9 页
D. regretted not discovering the book earlier
43. What is the main purpose of describing the renewed library in Paragraph 6
A. To show the real necessity of library renovation work.
B. To highlight the emotional value the library brings to the author.
C. To make a comparison between the old and new library systems.
D. To stress the great convenience of the modern library service.
44. The author's act of giving the book a “gentle pat” and whispering to it primarily demonstrates_________.
A. a pitiful expression of not enjoying the masterpiece
B. a silent protest against the library's new hold system
C. a childish habit of communicating with lifeless objects
D. an affection and care for books and the library
45. What is the best title for the passage
A. My Overdue Book and Amusing Experiences
B. The Hold System:A Modem Library Dilemma
C. An Unpleasant Encounter with a Library Novel
D. Beyond the Hold:Finding Home in the Library
C
The belief that heat fuels aggression dates back to Aristotle, who described anger as a boiling of blood. This
link persists in modern language:we speak of tempers “burning” or people being “boiling mad.” Scientifically, heat
stress can release hormones(荷尔蒙 )that increase temper, and societal data often shows more conflict in hotter
periods. However, a recent study published in PNAS Nexusby behavioral economist Alessandra Cassar suggests
that, on an interpersonal level, heat does not necessarily make us less kind or cooperative in interpersonal
interactions.
While some classic experiments appear to support the heat-aggression link---such as studies where drivers
blew horns more in hot weather, or baseball games saw more aggression on hot days---Cassar argues the overall
evidence is inconsistent. At a societal level, more crimes occur in summer, but this could be due to social factors
rather than temperature directly affecting behavior. To test the individual impact, Cassar's team designed
experiments involving people from the U. S. , Mexico, Colombia, Kenya, and India.
Participants played a decision-making game. They were offered a way to share a “cake” with someone else,
but with a choice:they could reduce the total size of the cake just to prevent the other person from getting more.
This measured a spiteful(恶意的 )preference. To test heat's effect, some played in a very hot room, while others
faced a deliberately unfair game setup. Both conditions made people report feeling more annoyed. Surprisingly,
however, neither heat nor unfairness made participants less generous or more likely to choose the spiteful option.
Their fundamental attitudes toward fairness remained unchanged.
The most significant difference the researchers found was not based on temperature or nationality, but on
gender. Across cultures, men consistently showed a stronger preference for maximizing the total reward, even if the
split was unequal. Women, contrarily, leaned more toward equal splits. However, in a follow-up experiment where
winners could share their gains afterward, women's competitiveness increased to match men's. This suggests
women's lower competitiveness in standard settings is not inborn but relates to sensitivity to social outcomes.
These findings challenge the simple view that. heat directly causes interpersonal violence. Cassar proposes
that harsh conditions, like extreme heat, may actually encourage cooperative survival strategies rather than conflicts.
The real threat from climate change, she argues, lies in its economic impact. By reducing resources and
opportunities, particularly for farming communities, it may increase poverty, which in turn can lead to more social
conflict. Therefore, the solution lies not in individual behavior control, but in fostering economic development,
strong social institutions, and cooperation---building the “social capital” needed to face shared challenges.
46. Which is right according to Paragraph 2
第 5 页 共 9 页
A. More crimes occur in summer due to the rising temperature.
B. Classic experiments fully support the heat-aggression link.
C. Cassar doubts the consistency of heat-aggression evidence.
D. People from all walks of life are involved in the experiment.
47. The follow-up experiment “where women's competitiveness increased to match men's”_______.
A. proves' that gender differences in psychology are meaningless
B. illustrates that men are naturally less competitive than women
C. suggests that context can change observed gender differences
D. highlights that the design of previous experiments was imperfect
48. According to Cassar's view, what behavior might be encouraged in a community facing extreme heat
A. Gradual independence and individualism.
B. More cooperation to survive the hardship.
C. Immediate violence over limited resources.
D. Selfish competition for scarce resources.
49. Based on the passage, which solution would Cassar most likely support to reduce heat-related social conflict
A. Improving economic conditions to reduce poverty.
B. Installing more air conditioners in public spaces.
C. Teaching people temper management techniques.
D. Issuing stricter regulations on crimes in hot weather.
50. The passage is most likely written for______.
A. climate scientists specializing in global warming
B. economists studying multiple experimental models
C. students learning about ancient Greek philosophers
D. general readers interested in psychology and society

Trees take quite a while to grow. If someone 50 years ago planted a row of oaks or a chestnut tree on your land,
you have something that no amount of money or effort can copy. The only way is to wait. Tree-lined roads, old
gardens, and houses protected by decades of tree canopy:if you want to start fresh on an empty plot, you will not be
able to get that.
Because some things just take time.
We know this by instinct. We pay more for Swiss watches, luxury bags, and historic houses precisely because
of the time put into them -either the time spent building them or their age. We set age limits for driving, voting, and
drinking because we believe maturity only comes through real-life experience.
Yet we now live in a time of instant satisfaction, which affects how we develop software and run companies.
Though we can speed up code writing, the key factor of a successful company or an Open-Source project lies in
persistence— the ability of leaders or maintainers to stick to a problem for years, build relationships, and work
through challenges that take a lifetime to solve.
We tend to think all difficulties in life should be solved by automation and human involvement replaced by
AI-based decisions. But often, the difficulty or the time needed is exactly the point. We have cooling-off periods for
important life decisions because we know people need time to think, and doing something right once means little—
commitment over time matters.
AI writes code fast, but we are pushing this speed further:we want to release products faster, run more
experiments, and remove all remaining frictions of reviews, designing and configuring(配置)infrastructure. Yet the
software we depend on now has a short lifespan, measured in months rather than decades, as do the relationships
built with customers.
I'm skeptical of those who claim to save us time. AI tools seem to leave us with less time, as we fill every free
moment with more tasks. Time saved is quickly taken by competition, and we can never really “save” it.

I keep thinking of the trees. Maintaining Open-Source projects for nearly 20 years and working at a startup for
10 years taught me that time tums ideas into commitments, and commitments into something that can support
others. Trust, quality and community can't be created in a hurry-they take time, just like a50-year-old oak.
51. According to the passage, which explains the value of old trees
A. They require precious time and effort for their growth.
B. They are mainly found in historic gardens and sites.
C. They provide samples for modern technology to copy.
D. They produce excellent material for building houses.
52. What is the function of the single sentence in Paragraph 2
A. To provide a specific example.
B. To introduce a novel chapter.
C. To present the thesis statement.
D. To list a contradictory opinion.
53. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph
A. Automation and AI provide the best ways to solve life's challenges.
B. Dedication and perseverance involved in a process can be essential.
C. People should make wise decisions to succeed in the modern world.
D. Commitment over time is less important than solving tricky problems.
54. What is the author's attitude towards the claim that AI will give us more free time
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Unconcerned. D. Confused.
55. Which of the following proverbs best summarizes the central theme presentedin the passage
A. More haste, less speed.
B. A stitch in time saves nine.
C. Strike the iron while it is hot.
D. Time and tide wait for no man.

delivered a speech at the United Nations, set up an organization to offer educational support for girls and kept
working to improve girls 'educational conditions worldwide. At 17, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,
becoming the youngest winner in history.

Good morning, everyone. It's my great honor to deliver a speech titled Nature Is Our Best Teacher.
Look at the bamboo. For the first four years, it barely grows above ground — but beneath the soil, its roots
spread deep and wide. Then, in the fifth year, it shoots up rapidly. This "silent accumulation, then explosive
growth" teaches us a valuable lesson: success requires patience and solid groundwork.
In my own study of English, I used to feel frustrated when progress seemed slow. But I kept memorizing
words and practicing every day. Gradually, my efforts paid off, and my grades improved significantly. That
experience confirmed that deep roots lead to tall growth.
Dear fellow students, let's embrace the bamboo spirit — stay rooted, be persistent, and trust the process.
Small daily efforts will one day lift us high.
Thank you for listening.
