A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab. I had recently joined as a Ph. D. student, and I realized I was to blame. When placing tubes into a centrifuge (离心机), I failed to make sure they were perfectly balanced. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen. Then, a senior postdoc tried to cheer me up by saying, “These things happen.” But I couldn’t forgive myself.
I had always been a top student, and before I started my graduate program, I had already completed medical school. I expected excellence from myself. Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this kind of work. I tried to avoid more mistakes, but there was no structured course in my graduate school, and I was unused to building research work.
Mistakes kept piling up: repeated DNA extraction failures, mixed-up results and methods sections in scientific writing. I was overwhelmed with self-blame, feeling all eyes were on me, judging my incompetence.
Then, one night, I had a dream. I knew I was suffering, and I watched myself, with deep sympathy. That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same pity I would offer a dear friend. I should have seen mistakes as part of growth.
That realization led me to change. The shift in mindset made it easier to avoid being consumed by the weight of failure. I also started to log my mistakes so I could learn from them. I would note whether there was something I could have done differently. Then I would move on. This simple practice helped me a lot.
The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. “Doing better” comes from “doing first”, often with twists and turns along the way.
24. How did the author probably feel when hearing the loud noise
A. Relieved. B. Confused. C. Ashamed. D. Impatient.
25. What played a part in the author’s continuous mistakes
A. She lacked structured guidance. B. She tried to avoid criticism.

26. How did the dream affect the author
A. It let her realize the value of research work.
B. It worsened her academic struggle dramatically.
C. It inspired her to treat her friends sympathetically.
D. It helped her change her attitude towards mistakes.
27. Which of the following may the author agree with
A. Self-blame is necessary to correct mistakes.
B. Top students are less likely to make mistakes.
C. Mistakes are an unavoidable part of progress.
D. The meaning of life lies in continuous success.
C
A new study published in Science suggests AI systems’ responses may disturb people’s ability to handle interpersonal conflicts. Scientists found that when AI chatbots are used for advice on interpersonal issues, they profess users’ perspectives much more often than humans and even praise clearly problematic behaviors. This behavior makes users view AI responses as more trustworthy, so they are more likely to turn to the agreeable AI again for future interpersonal issues.
Myra Cheng, a university professor and lead author of the study, was inspired after she learned that undergraduates were increasingly using AI to solve relationship issues. She worries people will lose the skills to deal with difficult social situations, as AI never tells users they are wrong or offers the “tough love” sometimes needed. While AI is overly agreeable on fact-based questions, few studies have explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) powering AI judge social dilemmas (困境).
Cheng’s team evaluated 11 major LLMs, including ChatGPT and Gemini, using established interpersonal advice datasets. They also presented LLMs with harmful action statements and tested 2,400 participants who chatted with both overly agreeable and objective AI chatbots. They found AI supported users 49% more often than humans on average and praised problematic behaviors 47% of the time; participants judged overly agreeable AI chatbots as more trustworthy, enhancing their original views.
Researchers claimed this preference may leave developers unmotivated to fix AI’s sycophancy, creating a harmful feedback circle, where engagement with AI models and their training could enhance such overly agreeable behavior. Additionally, participants could not distinguish overly agreeable AI chatbots from objective ones, mistakenly thinking they were equally fair. One reason the researchers cited was that AI’s agreement often came wrapped in neutral, academic language, making its biased opinion hard to recognize. The study warns overusing AI for interpersonal advice may disturb moral growth and narrow perspectives, as avoiding social conflicts — easy with AI — is key to healthy relationships.
28. What does the underlined word “profess” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Simplify. B. Back. C. Contradict. D. Dismiss.
29. What is Cheng’s concern
A. AI is dangerously replacing human communication.
B. Colleges fail to offer necessary guidance to graduates.
C. Students rely too much on digital products in daily study.
D. People may gradually lose competence in handling conflicts.
30. What is a finding of Cheng’s experiment
A. Agreeable AI chatbots are preferred.
B. There is no perfect solution to social dilemmas.
C. LLMs are better at solving fact-based problems.
D. AI models provide more objective advice than humans.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Risks of AI’s Overly Agreeable Advice
B. A New Study on the Future Development of LLMs
C. Ways to Distinguish Biased AI Tools from Objective Ones
D. The Importance of Tough Love in Interpersonal Conflicts
D
Archaeologists working in the Nile Delta of Egypt may have discovered a structure traced back to around 2,600 years ago while testing a new technology designed to locate structures buried deep beneath the surface. The team was studying the Buto site, the ruins of an ancient city that was occupied from the Predynastic period to the Early Islamic era.
During its long history, Buto was built, destroyed, and rebuilt, and consequently has several layers, each potentially a rich source of archaeological remains. However, the oldest parts of the city are now buried beneath later ruins and thick mud deposits. This would make traditional digging difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, as archaeologists have to move large tons of debris or struggle with groundwater to reach lower levels.
The researchers were trialing an integrated approach that uses satellite radar and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The team started with Sentinel-1 radar satellites to identify large-scale anomalies (异常事物) from space. When it detected something of interest, they followed up with ERT, which sends electrical currents between a series of electrodes placed in the ground to create a three-dimensional model of subsurface structures based on how different materials conduct or resist electricity. This technique has been likened to an underground “CT scan”.
The scans showed that while the upper layers contained some remains from later historical periods, a large, well-defined structure lay at a depth of between three and six meters, dating back about 2,600 years. At this stage, the researchers thought it could be a large tomb or temple. Guided by these results, they carried out a small excavation (挖掘), which uncovered mudbrick walls and religious artifacts where the sensors had predicted.
The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region. The researchers now plan to expand these surveys with larger equipment to reach even deeper, older levels and they believe their integrated approach can be used to map other archaeological sites before anyone has to pick up a shovel.
32. What is the primary purpose of the technology used in the study
A. To replace traditional excavation with advanced imaging tools.
B. To uncover ancient artifacts without disturbing the site.
C. To examine the historical layers of the Buto site in detail.
D. To assist archaeologists in identifying where to excavate.
33. Why is traditional excavation at Buto considered challenging
A. The equipment required is not available for large-scale digging.
B. The site contains remains from multiple historical periods.
C. The deeper layers are hidden beneath later deposits and groundwater.
D. The mudbrick structures are too fragile to survive excavation.
34. What is the role of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in the research
A. It detects large-scale anomalies from satellite images.
B. It generates a 3D image of underground structures.
C. It determines whether a site contains valuable artifacts.
D. It removes obstacles that block access to deeper layers.
35. What can be inferred about the integrated approach used by the researchers
A. It is mainly useful for studying surface-level remains.
B. It will ultimately replace traditional excavation.
C. It combines satellite radar with ground-based methods.
D. It allows for more efficient archaeological exploration.

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。
Have you ever had a day during exam preparation when you sat down to concentrate ____36____ I’ve been there too. And the most important lessons I learned didn’t come from books — they came from understanding how to protect my mindset. If you’re preparing for a competitive exam, here are three things you must keep private until you succeed.
Never Share Your Goals
Many students loudly announce their targets — what score they want, or which rank they dream of. But sharing your goals weakens the inner tension that pushes you to work harder. Before you talk about them, your goals create a kind of inner fire — stress, urgency, and hunger. The moment you announce them, that fire drops. ____37____ That temporary high makes you feel as if you’ve already achieved something, reducing the hunger that actually leads to achievement.
Never Share Your Progress
____38____ When someone asks, just say, “It’s going on.” Revealing your progress harms you. Once you share it, people immediately start judging or suggesting changes: “Use this book.” “Follow my timetable.” You begin doubting your own strategy, even if it was working well. There’s no perfect plan — only consistent efforts.
Don’t Share Your Fears With Companions
Every student carries silent struggles — family pressure, financial stress, emotional pain. Sharing your fears with another student rarely helps because they are already overwhelmed by their own worries. ____39____ Talk instead to a mentor, a trusted family member, or write privately.
Your exam preparation is a personal journey. Protect your focus. ____40____. The calmer you stay, the better your exam results will be.
A. Let silence work for you.
B. Exam pressure can help you stay focused.
C. Don’t mention how much revision you’ve done.
D. You will receive instant praise that gives you a burst of excitement.
E. Keeping your goals to yourself is one of the best ways to stay motivated.
F. Your books were open, your notes were ready, yet your mind was wandering.
G. They can’t offer the emotional support, and oversharing often leads to regret.

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
For years, I had been using delicate experimental tools and advanced lab materials to bring complex scientific concepts to life for my students. Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration.
Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments.
Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions.
At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits.

Dear fellow classmates,
On behalf of our group, I’d like to present our view that school sports facilities should be open to the public.
It is clear that this practice benefits both the community and our school. Firstly, it provides more convenient places for local citizens to work out regularly, thus improving public health. Secondly, it helps build a closer relationship between our school and the community. A booking system can be used to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In conclusion, opening sports facilities not only improves public health but also strengthens the bond between the school and the community. Thank you! (支持的观点)
Dear fellow classmates,
Our group holds the view that school sports facilities should not be open to the public.
First, it may lead to safety issues. With strangers coming into the campus, students’ personal safety can’t be fully guaranteed. Besides, opening facilities to the public will accelerate the wear and tear of equipment, leading to expenses on maintenance and repair. Plus, it will occupy the space that should be used by students for physical activities or sports training.
In short, we’re convinced that it is not sensible to open school sports facilities to the public. Thank you! (反对的观点)
【答案】
In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. Groups gathered around desks piled high with plastic bottles, strings, cardboard boxes, and various waste items. Instead of following strict instructions from expensive commercial kits, they created, tested, and improved their own simple machines. Some used bicycle chains to build a pulley system, while others cut plastic bottles to create a water wheel. When their simple machine successfully lifted a small weight, cheers erupted. Through hands-on creation and repeated attempts, they developed a much deeper understanding of scientific principles. Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before.
By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. My students proudly showed off their creations, explaining how they used recycled materials to make something useful. It soon became a hit, inspiring many other classes to collect recycled materials for their own creative activities. The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished. That day, I learned something no teacher training workshop had ever taught me: constraints don’t kill creativity — they set it free. When we involve students as partners in problem-solving, we tap into their creativity and resourcefulness while building genuine investment in their learning.
