When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students what they learn is relevant to their hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies.
No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications.
When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself.
What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own.
24. What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author
A. Students’ misunderstandings about teachers.
B. Students’ false assumptions about learning.
C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life.
D. The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies.

B. To explain the structure of a car.
C. To share a real-life experience.
D. To illustrate a scientific concept.
26. What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method
A. A higher class attendance rate.
B. Better examination results.
C. A closer teacher-student bond.
D. More spare time for students.

Human beings have always loved reviews: word of mouth has long been regarded as one of the most valuable marketing tools available to a company. Consumers enjoy reading and giving reviews. However, the problem is that a lot of the reviews are fake (假的). Shabnam Azimi and Alexander Krasnikov of Loyola University of Chicago and Kwong Chan of Northeastern University recently published a study on fake reviews.
The study used a data set of 1,600 reviews of Chicago hotels. Some of them were real; others were fake. The reviews were presented to 400 subjects. Each subject got eight reviews to read: a balanced set of two positive fake, two positive real, two negative fake and two negative real, presented in a random order. The reviews were written by real people who were given information about the hotel.
The results show that consumers generally trust negative reviews more than positive ones. Moreover, we humans tend to assume that positive reviews might be fake. “Overall, negative reviews are less common. So, we pay more attention to them. When a negative review is fake, we get tricked.” Azimi says.
When it came to faking a review, length was important to believability, as was detail. A long, negative review of a hotel, complete with lots of information, tended to convince participants. A lengthy, positive review, on the other hand, was regarded as suspicious, and participants tended to trust writers that kept their glowing reviews short. Emotion was also important in convincing readers — or the lack of emotion, at least. Azimi says study participants tended not to trust reviews where the writers expressed their feelings in a big way. The more dispassionate that negative write-up, the more likely it was to take the reader in.
The fake reviews written for Azimi’s study were put together by humans, but increasingly, fake reviews are being written by AI, which makes them look more real. Though many companies use algorithms (算法) to weed out fake reviews. Azimi points out that the machines are programmed by humans, and given our limited ability to spot fake reviews, this isn’t a good sign.
28. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Its design. B. Its findings. C. Its purposes. D. Its significance.
29. What does the underlined word “glowing” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Funny. B. Abusive. C. Insightful. D. Praising.
30. What kind of review would readers most likely trust
A. A long, positive one.
B. An unemotional, negative one.
C. A short, negative one.
D. An enthusiastic, positive one.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Many companies are producing fake reviews.
B. Writing fake reviews will be declared illegal.
C. Machines can detect fake reviews accurately.
D. It will be harder to recognize fake reviews.
D
Carbon removal is crucial for fighting climate change. Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization (优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage.
To design these climate-saving plants, the scientists are using a research tool called SLEAP — an AI software that tracks multiple features of root growth. Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab. Now, Pereira has teamed up with plant scientist Professor Wolfgang Busch to apply SLEAP to plants.
In a study published in Plant Phenomics, Busch and Pereira establish a new procedure for using SLEAP to analyze plant root phenotypes — how deep and wide they grow, how massive their root systems become, and other physical qualities. Prior to SLEAP, tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process. SLEAP uses computer vision (the ability for computers to understand images) and deep learning (an AI approach for training a computer to learn and work like the human brain) to help researchers process images much more quickly.
The application of SLEAP to plants has already enabled researchers to establish the most extensive catalog (目录) of plant root phenotypes to date. What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently. This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs.
“Our cooperation is truly proof of what makes Salk science so special and impactful,” says Pereira. “We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.”
32. What do the scientists at Salk Institute hope to achieve
A. Keeping more carbon in plants.
B. Optimizing the use of energy.
C. Enhancing biological diversity.
D. Reducing carbon absorption.
33. Why did Pereira create SLEAP
A. To generate plant images.
B. To conduct research on animals.
C. To study climate patterns.
D. To track features of root growth.
34. What will SLEAP help the scientists do
A. Pick out diseased plants in the forest.
B. Collect samples of plant root systems.
C. Identify genes for desirable plant roots.
D. Preserve the genes of endangered plants.
35. What can be inferred from Pereira’s words
A. Academic disciplines are of equal importance.
B. Computer programming is a must for scientists.
C. Interdisciplinary approach promotes creativity.
D. Cooperation outweighs competition in research.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,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。
During your initial reading of material, do you ever go back and reread sentences or paragraphs Is it because the material is too difficult to comprehend on the first reading or because you are asleep
__36__ You are napping or daydreaming. Halfway down the page you realize that you have no idea what you have read. __37__ Thus, you go back and reread, not because you did not understand, but because you were not paying attention. This type of rereading is called regression.
Napping and daydreaming are habits caused by lack of involvement with the material. Be demanding on yourself and expect 100 percent attention to the task. Engage your mind. Visualize the incoming ideas, and relate the new material to what you already know. __38__ If your mind is truly occupied with the text, you will not be able to think about Friday night or where to go on Saturday.
Regression is a crutch (拐杖) that allows you to make up for wasted time. First of all, become aware of when and why you are regressing. __39__ Say. “OK. I missed that paragraph because I was thinking of something else, but I’m going to keep on going and start paying close attention.”
__40__ Good readers who monitor their own comprehension use it in the reading process. However, regressing because your mind was asleep is a waste of time.
A. Both are to blame.
B. Probably the latter is true.
C. Don’t just read the words; think the ideas.
D. Spend a few minutes reading the material aloud.
E. Your eyes were engaged, but your mind was not.
F. Then, start denying yourself the right in order to break the habit.
G. Rereading what you did not understand is a reasonable fix-up strategy.

Mr. Hopkins' bookstore was a quiet island in the noisy stream of the modern city. For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins' Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page.
Now, it was closing.
The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces.
The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business.
Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.”
On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong.
Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard.

Report on Voluntary Environmental Activity
Last Sunday, the Students’ Union organized volunteers to carry out environmental protection activities in the local park to raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.
Volunteers picked up rubbish scattered around the park and gave out leaflets to introduce practical eco-friendly knowledge to visitors.
The activity was well received. Most visitors praised the volunteers and promised to develop good habits to protect the environment.
读后续写范文
Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard.
David stepped forward and took out his precious keepsakes together with the old book. He shared warm memories about the bookstore’s great influence on local residents and kids. Deeply moved by his sincere words, Sarah realized the store carried priceless community feelings rather than just commercial value. She put aside the original plan and promised to rethink the project.
Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began.
Part of the building was transformed into a warm café while most shelves remained to keep various books. The old bookstore survived and gained new vitality. Mr. Hopkins was overjoyed and continued running his beloved shop, and David felt proud to guard the warm memory of his childhood.
