For years, Shay Taylor-Allen walked the halls of Yale New Haven Hospital with a mop and cleaning cart, making sure patient rooms were spotless. Soon, she’ll be walking those same halls with a stethoscope (听诊器) — this time as a doctor. Her journey didn’t follow a traditional path. After graduating in the top 10 percent of her class at Wilbur Cross High School in Connecticut, Taylor had the potential to go far — but not the guidance.
At just 18, needing to earn a living, she took a job as a janitor at Yale New Haven Hospital. What started as a practical decision turned into nearly a decade of hard, honest work, cleaning patient rooms and offices. Then life took a turn that would change everything.
After a devastating house fire, Taylor’s mother suffered severe lung damage and began struggling to breathe. After seeking medical treatment from multiple doctors, her mother finally received a diagnosis: vocal cord dysfunction (功能紊乱), a rare condition that had been overlooked. That moment lit a spark. She wanted to become a doctor and advocate for patients who weren’t being heard.
The road ahead wasn’t easy. With no clear roadmap, Taylor had to figure out each step on her own — often starting with a simple online search. She enrolled in classes at Southern Connecticut State University, later earning a master’s degree from Quinnipiac University to complete the science courses needed for medical school. And through it all, she kept working. By day, she studied. By night, she returned to the hospital, continuing her janitor job while saving money for application fees and the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test).
Her determination paid off. Taylor was accepted into Howard University College of Medicine — and recently, she received life-changing news. She was matched to a residency at Yale New Haven Hospital. The very same hospital where her journey began.
4. What can be known about Taylor’s performance at high school
A. Average. B. Popular. C. Friendly. D. Outstanding.
5. What does the underlined word “janitor” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Doctor. B. Nurse. C. Cleaner. D. Guide.
6. What inspired Taylor to pursue a career in medicine
A. Her mother’s suffering. B. Her family’s request.
C. The need to support herself. D. The desire to earn more.
7. What does the author imply about Taylor’s way to become a doctor
A. It was planned well in advance. B. It was a self-effort journey.
C. It was an inspiration for hospitals. D. She quit her job to focus on studies.
C
For decades, deep sleep was viewed as a state where the brain is essentially “switched off”, with slow brain waves, minimal activity, and little awareness. Under this traditional view, deeper sleep meant less brain activity. In contrast, dreaming has typically been linked to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and considered a sign of partial “awakenings” in the brain. However, this creates a contradiction. REM sleep involves intense dreaming and brain activity that resembles wakefulness, yet people often report that this stage still feels like deep sleep.
To explore this contradiction, researchers at IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, analyzed 196 overnight recordings from 44 healthy adults. Participants slept in a laboratory while their brain activity was monitored using high-density electroencephalography (EEG) (高密度脑电图). Over four nights, participants were awakened more than 1,000 times and asked to describe what they were experiencing just before waking. They also rated how deeply they felt they had been sleeping and how sleepy they were.
The results showed that people reported the deepest sleep not only when they had no conscious experience, but also after vivid, immersive (沉浸式) dreams. In contrast, shallow sleep was linked to minimal or fragmented experiences, such as a vague (模糊的) sense of presence without clear dream content.
“In other words, not all mental activity during sleep feels the same: the quality of the experience, especially how immersive it is, appears to be crucial,” explains Giulio Bernardi, professor in neuroscience at the IMT School. “This suggests that dreaming may reshape how brain activity is interpreted by the sleeper: The more immersive the dream, the deeper the sleep feels.”
“Understanding how dreams contribute to the feeling of deep sleep opens new perspectives on sleep health and mental well-being,” says Bernardi. “Rather than being merely a by-product of sleep, immersive dreams may act as guardians of sleep.”
8. Why does the author mention the contradiction in paragraph 1
A. To explain what is deep sleep like. B. To provide the background of the research.
C. To show EEG technology is limited. D. To prove REM is actually wakefulness.
9. What might participants have experienced in the laboratory
A. Recording their sleeping process. B. Comparing sleep in different places.
C. Describing their experience in life. D. Being interrupted constantly in sleep.
10. What brings about the feeling of shallow sleep according to the result
A. Minimal dream content. B. Clear sense of presence.
C. Lacking mental activity. D. No conscious experience.
11. What can be the best title for this text
A. Deep Sleep: Still a Puzzle for Scientists
B. REM Sleep: When the Brain Stays Active
C. Brain Waves: A New Tool for Better Sleep
D. Rethinking Deep Sleep: The Role of Dreams Reconsidered
D
Forests across the world are breaking into smaller pieces because of farming, cities, roads, and dams. These small patches are called forest remnants (残余). For many years, scientists believed that only large forests could support many species. Smaller patches were seen as weak and unable to support much life.
This idea came from the “island theory”. Scientists treated each forest patch like an island. Bigger patches could support more species, while smaller and separated patches could not. This view focused only on size and distance. But this idea ignored what surrounds these forest patches. Birds and animals do not live separately. They move, search for food, and interact with the landscape around them. This means the area outside the forest also plays a key role.
The land around a forest patch is called the matrix (基质). This can include farms, grasslands, water, or scattered trees. Birds must travel through this space to move between forest areas. The quality of this land affects how easily they can survive. If the matrix has trees and vegetation, birds can move safely and find food. If the area is open or filled with water, movement becomes risky. This can lead to fewer species surviving in those patches.
A new study shows that the matrix plays a much bigger role than scientists once thought. Improving the surrounding land can help even small forest patches support many bird species. Forest patches surrounded by trees supported more bird species than those surrounded by open areas. Even a small increase in tree cover made a big difference.
This finding is important because it shows that people can improve biodiversity without increasing forest size. By adding trees and improving nearby land, even small forests can become rich habitats. “I hope the finding will inform more effective land-use policy and encourage governments and landowners to invest in wildlife-friendly farming practices that support both biodiversity and agricultural productivity,” noted Dr. Chase Mendenhall from Slippery Rock University.
12. What can we learn about the traditional “island theory” in paragraph 2
A. It overestimated small patches. B. It valued the harmony of nature.
C. It focused on land quality over size. D. It overlooked the impact of settings.
13. What can be inferred about the matrix in paragraph 3
A. It blocks birds’ movement. B. It limits birds’ food sources.
C. It is related to species’ survival. D. It mainly provides water for forests.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from the new study in paragraph 4
A. Better surroundings boost biodiversity.
B. Small patches are helpless for bird species.
C. Forest size matters most for biodiversity.
D. Open areas are better than tree-covered ones.
15. What is Dr. Chase Mendenhall’s attitude towards the new finding
A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Conservative. D. Critical.
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most people may have experienced the familiar behaviors: the endless scroll (滚屏) that keeps us up later than intended at night, the instinctive reach for a phone in any spare moment, the sense of being sucked into a digital distraction machine. ____16____. They’re the predictable outcomes of platforms designed to hold our attention for as long as possible.
Then there is an obvious question: If the apps are designed to keep us addicted, how can we begin to take back control Here are some simple ways to reclaim your attention.
____17____
Set a clear daily time limit for your most-used apps, and make it realistic enough that you’ll actually stick to it. Most smartphones now let you track and cap usage, which helps removes some of the willpower from the equation. The key is consistency: Treat that limit as you would any other boundary on your time, rather than something to override “just for today”.
Go greyscale
____18____. The bright colours and notification badges are addictive, and carefully chosen to trigger engagement; muting them makes the experience feel flatter and more intentional. Without those colours, it’s amazing how it loses its draw.
Control your space
Notifications are designed to pull you back in, often at the worst possible moment, like bedtime. ____19____. You can filter them so that only messages from people you genuinely want to hear from come through instantly. Everything else can wait until you decide to check it.
Create phone-free daily habits
Build regular moments into your day where your phone simply isn’t part of the picture; during meals, the first hour after waking, or just before bed. These boundaries help retrain your attention span and reduce the sense that you need to be constantly connected. ____20____.
A. Decide your limit
B. Do a spring clean
C. They’re not simply bad habits or a lack of willpower
D. Addiction is a feature of social media platforms, not a bug
E. Switching your phone to black and white can dramatically reduce its appeal
F. Turn off push notifications from apps that cause you trouble or aren’t essential
G. Over time, they create pockets of calm that make the pull of the endless scroll easier to resist

When I entered graduate school, I kept my ____28____ history, believing professionalism required separation between personal life and work. I worried that disclosure might ____29____ how colleagues viewed me. However, the effort to ____30____ this separation became increasingly difficult.
Everything changed at that conference. After sharing my story, I discovered my ____31____ were unfounded. Colleagues showed understanding rather than judgment. Our conversations deepened, and others began ____32____ their own experiences.
The shift ____33____ my approach to research. Previously, setbacks would cause self-doubt. Now, I view ____34____ as part of the process.

Across China, France, Argentina, and beyond, people from diverse cultural background s came together on Saturday from their own corners of the world ____36____ (practice) the same thing, taijiquan, also known as tai chi, a UNESCO-listed Chinese martial art.
In ____37____ era obsessed with speed and excitement, taijiquan, which seeks a slow and balanced rhythm in every breath, is by no means as ____38____ (instant) appealing as the sensational news on people’s screens. However, what ____39____ (enable) it to unite people across the world is actually its sense of ____40____ (slow) and tranquility (安宁), qualities that stand out as precious in contrast to the ever-shifting desires of our time.
The ____41____ (pursue) of self-awareness and inner peace has also distinguished taijiquan from the sports logic of pursuing faster or higher aims. Traditional sports culture has long been dominated by such logic, in which one seeks for external success. While ____42____ (push) the body to its extremes often comes at the cost of mental ____43____ emotional balance, taijiquan cultivates an inward-looking bodily experience — reminding people to reclaim themselves in practice.
That’s to say, in the long run, taijiquan is a more sustainable form of exercise — one that is accessible to all, borderless and ____44____ (age). This inclusiveness has enabled taijiquan to attract hundreds of millions of practitioners across more than 180 countries and regions, _____45_____ is particularly valuable in today’s divided world.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I don’t want to see that cat in our yard again,” my husband John said firmly, chasing the beautiful yellow cat across the creek. His voice showed clear frustration. I sighed softly and explained gently. Cats are independent creatures, unlike dogs. They roam (漫步) wherever they please, especially when hunting mice. Still, John insisted on protecting our space. I sent a quick text to our neighbor, Cheryl, explaining his discomfort. She replied politely, noting it was hard to control the cat outdoors. We hoped for the best.
The next morning, John stood at the bedroom picture window. He had installed it specifically for birdwatching, which was my favorite gift. Suddenly, he called me over with urgency. I approached slowly, worrying the cat had returned to disobey us. Instead, two enormous groundhogs (土拨鼠) sat side by side on our wooden deck. We had seen them near the woods before, but never this bold. They looked directly at us without fear. John opened the window quickly, and they raced away into the trees.
That evening, I glanced out the window again. I noticed suspicious movement in the flowerbed. John hurried in to see one groundhog chewing red flowers around the fountain. Every blossom was gone. It was heartbreaking to see our hard work destroyed. John lifted the window, and the animal fled. He decided to research groundhogs on the computer to understand their destructive behavior fully.
Before he left, I was surprised to see another groundhog sat in our enclosed vegetable garden, eating cabbage calmly. John explained angrily that it had dug under the chicken wire. He was determined to solve this problem immediately. I watched him walk toward the computer, praying he would not see our rows of green plants, cared for all spring, were being destroyed quickly.
Soon, John found interesting information online. He stared attentively at the screen for a long time. He discovered that groundhogs hate the scent of cats deeply. They avoid areas where cats roam frequently.

A Call for Action: Keep Our Playground Clean
Dear fellow students,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to mention a problem on our school playground.
Recently, I’ve noticed that litter is often left on the playground after activities: plastic bottles, snack bags and other trash are scattered on tracks and benches. It ruins our campus’s neat look and creates an unhealthy environment for exercise.
All of us share this public space, so we should keep it clean. I call on everyone to pick up your own trash after using the playground and throw it into dustbins. Let’s take action now to keep our playground clean and nice.
【参考范文】
A realization suddenly dawned on us. I realized we had not seen Cheryl’s cat in our yard for quite some time. The absence of the cat was likely the reason these groundhogs had become so brave. The cat we had viewed as a trouble was actually a natural guardian of our garden. John looked at me ashamedly. He realized his mistake, admitting I might be right about the situation. He suggested I text Cheryl immediately to let her know that the “cat ban” was officially removed.
That evening, we spotted the sweet yellow cat roaming the border of the woods in search of mice. True enough, the groundhogs were nowhere to be seen. John and I sat on the back porch, watching the sunset paint the sky in shades of pink, purple, and gold. The air was peaceful, filled only with the sounds of nature. As the cat meowed in the distance, I couldn’t help but smile. We had learned a valuable lesson: Nature maintains a delicate balance, and sometimes, a little tolerance can solve big problems.
