I was thirty, a single father of two, recently out of work, carrying a kind of exhaustion that rest doesn't touch. When our washing machine broke in the middle of a cycle, I bought a used one from a secondhand store, 1 it would last long enough to get us through the month.
When I 2 the washer at home, I heard a strange metallic sound. 3 , I stopped the cycle and reached inside the drum. My fingers brushed something small and smooth: a gold ring with a diamond. Inside the band, faint letters were engraved——“To Claire, with love.Always.”
For a brief moment, my mind wandered to numbers—— groceries, shoes and overdue bills. But when my daughter softly called it a“forever ring,” something shifted inside me. I 4 the ring wasn't just jewelry—— it was someone's memories, promises, and life. That night, I called the secondhand store to ask if there was a way to 5 where it came from.
The next day, I drove across town to a small brick house and knocked on the door. An older woman named Claire answered, cautious at first, then 6 when she saw the ring in my hand. Her eyes filled with tears as she told me it had been lost months earlier, a gift from her husband when they were young. She held it close, 7 and gratitude softening her face.She thanked me 8 , handed me a thank-you card, and sent me home with cookies I hadn't earned. I drove back feeling lighter, as if I had done something small but deeply important.
I taped the card to the fridge. Every time I see it, I'm convinced that it's not always a(n) 9 . It's a choice—— often a quiet one—— made even when life feels tight and tired.
That day, my children saw that 10 matters, that doing the right thing doesn't always come with ease but does leave a mark. Long after the struggle fades, the example remains.

Many students at college, including myself, arrive with a very distinct image of who and what we are going to be after graduation. Personally, I had my next ten years planned out before even starting my freshman year.
My parents work in pharnaceuticals (制药业), so I knew about the career prospects. I had taken many scientific elective courses in high school and excelled in AP Chemistry, so Ithought this degree would be something I could do well in and love for the next four years and afterwards in a career.
In the fall of my freshman year, I signed up for a chemistry, a calculus, and an English class. I always enjoyed reading, so I thought the English course would be a fun addition and a possible minor to add to my studies. During that semester, I did well in all of my classes, but Ifelt I hated my science and math courses. I always liked math and science in high school, but something about the courses in college simply didn't connect with me.
The one thing that made me actually enjoy my first semester was my English course. Ifelt tired, just thinking about more chemistry classes the next semester. I thought that higher-level chemistry courses might be more interesting because they would become more specialized, but I continually found myself disinterested in the content of the courses. By this time, I had added my English minor, and the things I had learned in my minor were so much more exciting to me.
I went with the flow until my sophomore year. I called my parents in tears. I couldn't hold it in anymore: I DIDN'T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! I was completely ready for them to be disappointed and tell me to stick with it; thankfully, they were the exact opposite、parents knew I was enjoying my English minor and asked me if I had any interest in continuing into a major. After talking with my parents and my advisor, I took the plunge. Iswitched to an English major. I felt like the biggest weight was lifted from my shoulders.
Now, I could not be happier about switching my major. I have discovered my newfound love and capabilities. There have been so many opportunities that would not have happened if it hadn't been for switching my major and career path.

C
Imagine you' re in line at your favourite bakery, deciding whether to have a doughnut or a tart. You weigh them up, the doughnut wins, and you settle on that. By the time you' re at the front of the line, however, only tarts are left. So, you buy one.
These two decisions feel completely different. One is a free decision that involves consideration based on your personal preferences, while the other is a forced decision that involves simply recognizing and picking the only available option. Neuroscientists have long assumed free decisions rely on different processes in the brain compared to forced decisions.But our latest research shows our brains actually make these decisions in surprisingly similar ways.
Decades of research have shown that, to make decisions, our brains gradually gather evidence for each option over time. By measuring electrical brain activity, researchers have identified a brain signal that reflects this accumulation of evidence during simple decisions.Like a loading bar building to 100%, the signal gradually rises to a particular level before a decision is made. Rather than climbing steadily towards one option, the signal fluctuates back and forth between the alternatives. This partly explains why we aren't always consistent with our choices, even when our preferences are stable. This signal has been identified for forced decisions. But what about open-ended choices
To answer this question, we recorded people's brain activity while they chose between sets of coloured balloons. They viewed either two balloons of different colours to freely choose between, or a single balloon they were forced to pick. For both free and forced decisions, the brain activity unfolded in a strikingly similar way. The signal rose steadily to the same peak level before a choice was made, climbing faster for quick choices and slower for longer ones.
One might assume the brain forms ftee and forced decisions similarlv. suggesting decision-making may be more automatic' than it feels. This echoes Benjamin Libet's experiments in the 1980s, which show brain activity begins ramping up before people are even consciously aware of their intention to act. But while the process may be automatic,what the brain is accumulating tells a different story. The evidence it weighs up is drawn entirely from who you are—— your preferences, your goals, your experiences. Two people may go through the same neural process and land on the same choice, and yet arrive there for completely different reasons.
So rather than asking whether our choices are truly free, perhaps the better question is what it really means for a choice to be yours. And the next time you find yourself in line at the bakerv. know that your brain has already been quietly gathering evidence toward your baked good of choice, and that choice happens a little faster than you realise.
28. Why does the author mention“a loading bar” in Paragraph 3
A. To explain why choices are inconsistent.
B. To prove the required level for decisions.
C. To highlight the speed of decision-making.
D. To illustrate how evidence is gradually built.
29. What can we learn from this passage
A. Stable preferences reduce choice changes.
B. Personal identity helps make your choices.
C. The brain reacts to a decision at the last moment.
D. Free and forced decisions vary in brain processes.
30. What is the logical chain of this passage
A. Problem→Theory→Test→Solution
B. Phenomenon→Cause→Theory→Outcome
C. Background→Review→Research→Suggestion
D. Situation→Assumption→Experiment→Conclusion
D
When was the last time you raced against an unforgiving clock Perhaps you skipped breakfast, shelled out for a taxi or missed time with your family. Many of us have become slaves to time, with huge portions of our day spent chasing appointments and deadlines. But what is this thing we' re trying to beat
We tend to imagine time as constant and non-negotiable, ticking by somewhere out in the world, impossible to slow or stop. Yet an emerging scientific picture is that such“clock time”isn't a physical phenomenon. It's a mathematical tool useful for coordinating our interactions,but with no independent existence of its own. As with other key innovations, such as money,we can no longer get by without it. But disproving the myth of the clock can help us to focus on how life really progresses.
Psychologists have identified the rise of“time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. This has a big impact on quality of life: people experiencing time famine are less likely to do things they enjoy, or help each other.
Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we' re bored; hours race if we' re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in oircles, break apart or stop altogether. Take Lara, who suffers from a condition called motion blindness. When she pours tea, the liquid appears as a frozen column in the air,before suddenly overflowing the cup. Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the rǒl é we all play in creating our own time. Because even scientists don't find any moving river of time: most believe there's no physical flow of events beyond our perception, no moment of“happening” or“becoming” in which the future slips into the past.
Time, then, is less a universal truth than a feature of how we interact with the world.What we' re left with, when we release ourselves from the cosmic clock, is“lived time”: our personal, flexible experience of change.
This gives us a different way of-thinking about how our lives progress, probably releasing us from the constant beat of the clock. Lived time is different.. from clock time because it isn't defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It's a creative process that's vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are.
To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on 13. Instead of something we chase and never catch, it's a flow that connects us with each other.
31. Which situation best illustrates“time famine”
A. A busy mother has no time to help her neighbors.
B. An artist spends hours painting without noticing time.
C. A manager who plans every minute always feels behind.
D. A professional with a packed schedule feels productive.
32. What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 4
A. Challenge a theory. B. Reshape a perspective.
C. Present an assumption. D. Analyze a phenomenon.
33. What can be inferred about“lived time” from the passage
A. It unfolds through experience not calculation.
B. It replaces clock time in our daily schedules.
C. More time measurement enriches lived time.
D. It is too flexible to be planned or structured.
34. What does the author intend to tell us about time
A. How fast time flows depends on emotion.
B. Time is a universal truth independent of us.
C. Time demands engagement over obedience.
D. Working more efficiently solves time famine.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You` ve heard of coping ahead It is often helpful to plan, think through possible problems, and determine ahead of time what will be useful for you in an anticipated difficult situation. What may be easier, more automatic, and far less helpful than coping ahead is“dreading ahead.” Dreading ahead is when you continue to think about and worry about an upcoming event. 35
To be sure, this is different from planning and preparing. When you dread, you think about the upcoming event. You worry. You find it distracting. You may have physiological symptoms. What you don't do is plan, prepare, and get on with your life. 36 In fact, it is easy to feel like you are putting a lot of effort into it without actually putting yourself in a better position. That is dreading ahead.
That all probably makes sense but the challenge is changing that behavior. 37 As you are thinking about the future with that worried feeling, check in with yourself. Are you planning Are you taking steps to make it better Those are useful actions. Or are you worrying Are you avoiding Are you dwelling
38 Self-acceptance is important. Allow that the thing coming up is not something to look forward to. And then notice when you are stuck in a place of dwelling. That place of dwelling can lead to feeling worse and set you up poorly for what you need to manage.
Think about whether there is important planning and preparation to do. If not, focus on e back to the present moment, rather than remaining in that place of dread.
That is not an easy thing to do. Do not expect that it will be easv to shift from worrying and dreading to being in the present moment. 39 It is a set of skills worth developing and they can be developed. As you are doing that, remember: Don't dread ahead!
A. You might as well put yourself in the best possible position
B. You likely recognize that you have engaged in anticipatory dread.
C. If you are doing the latter. recognize that it is OK to feel your feelings.
D. First of all, you have to recognize that dreading ahead is what you are doing.
E. So, much emotional energy goes into the concern with little productive happening.
F. View this as a practice involving awareness, anxiety tolerance, and the ability to shift.
G. It is when the time from now until what is expected is filled with concern and distraction.

第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共 12分)
In the remote wilderness of Colorado, stories of a mysterious barking dog had been circulating for weeks. Many suspected that it must be some wild animal. But for Trinity Smith,a dedicated animal lover, there was no doubt in her mind that the cries belonged to a dog who was in desperate need of help.
For Trinity, hearing about a potential animal in danger was not something she could ignore. Determined, she set out on a clear September morning with a backpack full of supplies. As Trinity climbed the mountain, she kept her ears alert, listening carefully to the sound that had been described in the stories.
The barking came in intermittent bursts. Yet even as she identified the direction, the landscape made it almost impossible to determine the exact location. Rocks jutted out at odd angles, and steep cliffs created echoes that confused the ear. By evening, Trinity realized that she would have to return before darkness fell, as hiking the mountain in low light was risky.
The next morning Trinity sought the help of her friend Sean Nichols, another animal enthusiast familiar with the Colorado wilderness. Together, they mapped out a plan: they would split the search area, moving carefully through the rocky landscape while calling out to the dog. Their voices carried across the mountain,“Here, pup! We' re here to help!”
They shouted for hours, breaking every few minutes to listen for any response. The hours passed slowly. Just as they were beginning to worry that their efforts would be fruitless, a familiar bark echoed from the distance. Both Trinity and Sean froze, listening attentively.
The dog barked again, this time closer, and they were able to trace the direction with much more certainty. Following the sound, they picked their way. Soon, they found her. She wagged her tail weakly and looked at her rescuers with trust and gratitude. The dog wasChloe, a 14-year-old who had gone missing six weeks earlier during a walk with her owners.But she's now home and recovering from the frightening experience.
40. Why did Trinity decide to search for the dog
41. For what reason did Trinity stop her search before nightfall of the first day
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
On the second day, Trinity and Sean split the search area and called out to the dog,breaking every few minutes to listen for its response to ensure it was still alive.
43. Make a comment on Trinity's strategies in rescue operation.(In about 40 words)

范文：
Dear Jim,
I'm super excited to offer some ideas for your upcoming“Understanding China”speech!
I suggest you focus on how China's remarkable scientific achievements have improved people's lives worldwide. For example, you can talk about Yuan Longping's hybrid rice, which has greatly increased global grain output and helped ease food shortages. You can also mention Tu Youyou's discovery of artemisinin, a breakthrough that has saved millions of lives from malaria.
These achievements are well worth highlighting because they fully show China's sincere commitment to global welfare. The spirit of science behind them—— persistence,innovation, and a commitment to serving humanity—— reflects China's pursuit of progress. By learning about China's efforts to enhance people's quality of life, the audience will better understand China and its devotion to building a better world.
Wish you an inspiring and impressive speech!
Yours,
Li Hua
