In December 2022 when walking his dog in Austin, Texas, Patrick Fortune spotted something long and yellow. He recalled a post about Snow, a 16-foot albino python (白化蟒蛇) stolen from her owner’s vehicle. Could this be the missing snake Realizing that he might have found Snow, Fortune took his dog home to inform his girlfriend, Raven Zimmer.
Knowing pythons need warmth and Austin had been cold for weeks, the pair decided to rescue the python at once. They warmed up a heating pad, grabbed some towels and loaded their large dog carrier into their truck. A neighbor called animal control, but it would take hours for an officer to arrive. Fortune knew they didn’t have much time, so he texted people for help.
Dillon Dority, responded quickly and rushed over. They decided that Fortune would firmly hold the snake behind the head while Zimmer and Dority picked up her body and placed it in the carrier. The snake didn’t like that and became defensive, opening its mouth as if warning them. However, on their second attempt, the snake became lethargic and didn’t resist.
They wrapped the snake with a heating pad and blanket, and took the python to Dority’s house since it was the closest. Once inside, they started a fire and turned on a space heater. Dority checked the snake’s temperature every few minutes. Initially, it read 53 degrees but they were relieved when it started going up.
About 90 minutes into their urgent care experiment, an animal control officer was there to pick up the snake. The officer transported it to the Austin Zoo while other animal control officers tracked down Snow’s owner.

In our era of constant digital distraction, a wave of “focus apps” promises to help us reclaim our productivity by blocking interruptions and using gamification (游戏化) to encourage deep work. But do these apps truly help, or are they just another form of digital noise
The main challenge to focus is self-regulation. When a task feels boring or stressful, we naturally seek relief, often turning to our smartphones. While there’s little evidence that our inborn ability to focus has declined, habits like multitasking and frequent digital interruptions can make us more easily distracted. To fight this, apps like the popular “Focus Friend” have emerged.
These apps employ psychological principles to guide behavior. “Focus Friend,” for example, uses a virtual character that knits (编织) peacefully as you work. If you open a banned app, the knitting comes undone. If you complete a focus session, this system uses immediate rewards, like digital items for your character, to make up for your devotion to the potentially unpleasant work. It also uses the “commitment and consistency” principle — starting a timer feels like a promise to yourself, which you’re then motivated to keep.
However, scientific research on their effectiveness is limited. One study found that while users enjoyed gamified apps, they didn’t often use them and found simpler strategies (like setting a phone to greyscale (灰度模式)) more effective for reducing usage. High app store ratings for “Focus Friend” suggest user enjoyment, but enjoyment doesn’t necessarily translate to improved focus or output quality.
If you decide to try a focus app, use it wisely. Schedule specific sessions for well-defined tasks, and notice the urge to check your phone without acting on it. After a week, critically assess if the app helped you make real progress. Be mindful of possible problems: these apps can’t judge your work’s value, so you might stay “focused” on unimportant tasks. Ultimately, while an app can help handle the pull of your phone, lasting focus requires internal discipline — learning to notice sudden distracting wants and consciously choosing to return to what matters.
28. What can be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Smartphones are the main source of distraction.
B. Our natural focus ability has greatly weakened.
C. Self-discipline lies at the heart of focus problems.
D. Multitasking is an effective way to get work done.
29. How does “Focus Friend” try to guide users’ behavior
A. By completely blocking access to a banned app.
B. By using psychological tricks and instant rewards.
C. By offering professional consulting sessions.
D. By simplifying phone functions to grayscale mode.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the current research on focus apps
A. Strongly supportive. B. Cautiously doubtful.
C. Clearly disapproving. D. Fully convinced.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. Focus Apps: Productivity Tools or Digital Noise
B. Focus Apps: Effective Solutions or Passing Trends
C. The Psychological Principles Behind Focus Apps
D. The Limitations of Gamified Focus Apps
D
The “hedgehog dilemma”(刺猬困境) is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, through a story about hedgehogs, he proposed that, even with the best of intentions, humans harm each other when they attempt to have close relationships. His advice was simple: keep your distance.
How does this idea apply to real life Most people have experienced emotional harm in close relationships, such as friendships ending, lies in romance or even a family member causing pain over a lifetime. But should we let these experiences make us defensive
Modern science offers a different perspective. A PLOS Medicine study, with 308,849 participants, found that those with stronger social relationships had a 50% increased possibility of survival. Additionally, according to the National Institute on Aging, the health risks of long-term loneliness are as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, making Schopenhauer’s advice to “keep your distance” a concern.
So what makes closeness difficult If you’ve been hurt before, it might be that you’ve fallen into a defence mode. Psychotherapist Hillary Sanders points to some examples of common defence mechanisms such as going blank and regarding the present reaction as criticism. Most of these defensive reactions result from the early experience of hurt.
But in therapy (心理治疗), if the clients can be helped to see the defences and the original source, they can be encouraged to be understanding of their protective behaviors. Then they have a chance to change and not just repeat old behaviours. Hillary also warns that defences need to be respected and should not be removed all at once.
While Schopenhauer started the hedgehog dilemma, at the heart of this metaphor is the human desire to be close to one another. Unlike hedgehogs, humans are not naturally equipped with physical defenses. So, when we learn to lower our defences for loving people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all.
32. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1
A. To stress its importance.
B. To introduce the theme of relationship.
C. To support Schopenhauer’s advice.
D. To recommend Schopenhauer’s book.
33. What can be inferred from the PLOS Medicine study
A. People should keep their distance from others.
B. Long-term loneliness increases health risks like smoking.
C. Strong social relationships are beneficial to us.
D. The “hedgehog dilemma” is out of date.
34. Which behavior would Sanders most likely recommend in therapy
A. Quickly removing all defenses.
B. Avoiding discussing past experience.
C. Ignoring the sources of their defenses.
D. Respecting one’s own protective behaviors.
35. What message does the hedgehog metaphor ultimately convey
A. Self-protection is essential to maintaining good relationships.
B. Physical defenses matter more than emotional closeness.
C. Balancing openness and self-protection is key to true connection.
D. Self-protection stops people from forming emotional bonds.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays, statements like “Seeing is believing” or “I’ll believe it when I see it” are becoming less reasonable because of the deepfake videos generated by AI. __36__ However, regardless of how advanced artificial intelligence may be, there are still certain tips that can point out the signs of deep-fake videos.
Observe Watermarked Content
__37__ However, this may not be effective in the long run because sometimes AI platforms allow users to download the generated content without the watermark. Thus, watermarking may not be a reliable way to detect AI videos.
Find Abnormal Body Language
Another way of detecting videos made from machine learning is the body language. __38__ So if the body language is unnatural, then it may be generated by AI. An example of such body language that may be off is the character not blinking (眨眼) at all throughout the video.
Listen Closely
Audio is another means by which AI-generated content can be detected. But in recent times, that seems to have changed as synthetic (合成的) sounds tend to come out almost human-like. However, this doesn’t mean that it is entirely without problems. __39__
While AI can avoid some of the above-listed giveaway features, it is impossible for it to be perfect. __40__ Therefore, in this world of deep-fake videos, always feel free to question video content you see.
A. If a video appears natural and realistic, it is undoubtedly real.
B. AI usually find it difficult to accurately copy humans.
C. This is the most basic means by which AI-generated videos give themselves away.
D. This is because certain unnatural clues will still exist in its produced content.
E. Sometimes, you may notice people with six fingers or someone with two right arms and hands.
F. These videos have rapidly developed, making it more difficult to know when you can trust your eyes.
G. In some videos, incoherent sentences or background sounds can reveal their artificial nature.

A Journey of Courage
Tom had always dreamed of climbing mountains. As a child, he would spend hours reading adventure books about explorers who scaled the tallest peaks in the world. He admired their bravery and determination, and he promised himself that one day, he would stand on top of a mountain and look out at the world below.
When Tom turned 18, he decided that it was time to make his dream a reality. He spent months training, hiking through forests and climbing smaller hills to build up his strength and stamina (耐力). He read books on mountaineering, learned how to use climbing gear (装备), and practiced tying knots. His goal was to climb Mount Peakstone, a challenging mountain known for its difficult terrain (地形) and unpredictable weather.
On the day of the climb, Tom felt both excited and nervous. He packed his gear carefully—warm clothes, food, water, and his climbing equipment. As he stood at the base of the mountain, he looked up at the towering peak. It seemed much taller in person than it did in the pictures he had seen. For a moment, doubt crept into his mind. Could he really do this
But Tom pushed the doubt aside. He had come too far to turn back now. With a deep breath, he began his ascent (攀登). The first part of the climb was relatively easy. The weather was clear, and the path was well-marked. As he climbed higher, the air grew colder, and the wind picked up, but Tom pressed on, determined to reach the top.
About halfway up the mountain, the weather took a sudden turn for the worse. Dark clouds gathered overhead, and snow began to fall heavily. The wind howled, making it difficult to see and even harder to keep his balance. Tom’s heart pounded in his chest. He knew he had to make a decision—should he continue climbing, or should he turn back
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1: Tom found shelter behind a large rock and took a moment to think.
Paragraph2: Step by step, Tom made his way up the mountain, carefully placing his hands and feet on the rock, testing every hold before moving forward.

Don’t Skip Breakfast, Fuel Your Day!
According to the survey, only 37% of students never skip breakfast. Half skip it once a week, while 8% miss it several times weekly and 5% have other situations.
Going without breakfast harms health. It causes poor concentration in class and weakens immunity easily.

Paragraph1: Tom found shelter behind a large rock and took a moment to think.
After careful consideration, he chose to stick to his original plan instead of giving up. He put on all his warm clothes and ate some food to regain energy. Though the snow kept falling, he calmed down and checked his climbing equipment repeatedly to ensure everything worked well. He told himself that fear was useless and steady steps would bring him closer to the peak.
Paragraph2: Step by step, Tom made his way up the mountain, carefully placing his hands and feet on the rock, testing every hold before moving forward.
Hours later, the snow gradually stopped and the sun broke through clouds. Eventually, he reached the mountaintop. Standing there enjoying the amazing view, Tom realized courage meant sticking to dreams when facing unexpected difficulties.
