As a new runner, I received an invitation from a magazine to visit Greece. As the birthplace of the marathon, Greece deeply attracted me. I came up with a brave idea — to 1 the whole 26-mile classic route from Athens to Marathon, opposite the original direction.
Athens in midsummer was 2 hot. Running 26 miles in heat like that was nothing short of an act of madness, so I started quite early with an editor from the magazine in a van (面包车) providing water and recording my journey.
At first, the city roads frustrated me. Countless stoplights broke my 3 , and blocked roads forced me off course. By the eighth mile, I finally left the busy city behind. Away from the city buildings, the sun revealed all its power and I was dying of 4 . The air was so dry that sweat evaporated instantly, leaving a layer of white salt on my skin. My body stung, and my lips tasted salty. I kept 5 of ice-cold beer but had to drink water from the van every three miles.
After the nineteenth mile, a strong headwind from the sea started blowing. The closer I got to Marathon, the harder it blew. Real exhaustion set in. It felt like an endless battle against my own body, but I forced myself to 6 only on moving my feet forward, one after another. And the strong wind from the sea never let up. At around twenty-three miles, I almost 7 , and I started to hate everything. Enough already! I didn’t want to run anymore!
“Just three more miles. Hang in there!” the editor called out encouragingly.
Ignoring the burning sun, I 8 all my willpower. Finally, the finish line came into sight. Crossing it, I felt completely 9 and tasted the sweet joy of achievement.
This tough 26-mile run was my first full marathon. It became a precious memory and taught me the power of perseverance, inspiring me to keep 10 myself.1.

The Karl Wallenda Effect refers to a psychological phenomenon 14 people fail because they become preoccupied with avoiding failure rather than attending to the task at hand.

Back in 2008, when I was working as a professional astronomer, I was granted two nights on a big telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. I remember arriving at the peak of the volcano at dusk, very excited about this incredible opportunity. I went into the brightly lit telescope control room, plugged in my laptop and started preparing for the night of taking data. When it was dawn, I emerged into the sunrise, sleepy-eyed and ready for dinner… or was it breakfast
It was only years later that I realized I’d been to the peak of Mauna Kea and I hadn’t looked up at the night sky with my eyes even once. I now see this disappointing situation was representative of a deeper state of mental difficulty that had affected me like a long, slow sunset.
Over my years of immersion (沉浸) in the academic environment, I’d become lost in the world of ideas, disconnected from an emotional, direct experience, and from the wonder and passion that had drawn me into astronomy in the first place.
I’ve come to understand that this situation isn’t unique to me. These are typical symptoms of the modern world. So many of us live increasingly disconnected from nature-in the day and nighttime — often lost in the world of ideas, plans or anxieties, with our attention rarely in the here and now.
Astrophysics was what led me into the world of ideas and facts, but it was ultimately stargazing in a mindful way that showed me the way back to a more balanced state of mental wellbeing and the wonder of my subjective, very human perspective.
When we look with wide-eyed curiosity, rather than being preoccupied with facts and expectations, it encourages a state of wonder, which leads to awe. Studies have shown feeling awe on a regular basis is deeply beneficial to our mental health, because it helps us feel connected to something bigger than our everyday view of ourselves. Suddenly, our worries aren’t quite so all important and we start to see ourselves from a different perspective.
It’s so easy to think that we’re looking up at the stars. But the truth is we’re in them — made of them, inseparable from them. You have grown out of, and are living as part of, this universe. True, looking at it one way you’re a tiny, seemingly insignificant piece of dust on a remote planet in an unremarkable solar system. But from another perspective, you’re an integral part of the universe experiencing itself through you own eyes, ears and thoughts. For me, this view has facilitated a complete transformation of my mental health and whole life.
24. What did the author mainly do after arriving at Mauna Kea
A．He admired the night sky from the volcano peak.
B．He prepared for a night of telescope observation.
C．He adjusted to the sunrise after a sleepless night.
D．He reflected on his initial attraction to astronomy.
25. How does the author describe a typical feature of modern life
A．Devotion to work with clear purposes.
B．Emotional involvement in daily experience.
C．Interest in knowledge with a sense of curiosity.
D．Distance from nature and lack of present focus.
26. What helped the author find inner balance again
A．Experiencing stargazing with openness and wonder.
B．Viewing himself as insignificant in the vast universe.
C．Learning more about astrophysics and scientific facts.
D．Working with greater focus in an academic environment.
27. What can we learn from this passage
A．Happiness is found within.
B．One may miss the wood for the trees.
C．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
D．Stop and smell the roses in the natural world.
C
Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; a misstep prompts a friend’s disapproval and an apology is needed. These moments are considered crucial for deepening trust, and for personal growth to unfold. Social life is rarely frictionless, yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops.
Sycophancy (奉承) is the opposite of this friction. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically validates their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in a passable idea. But as AI systems are consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation of this kind does not merely reassure users — it may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict, and whether they take responsibility.
Consider a world in which people routinely turn to AI to reflect on interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly reassured that they are in the right, that others are mistaken, and that no apology is warranted. Moreover, over time, such patterned communication may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate similar constant affirmation from others.
An AI companion who is always “on your side” may sustain engagement and foster reliance. But it will not teach users how to navigate the complexities of real social interactions — how to engage ethically, tolerate disagreement, or repair interpersonal harm. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the social friction through which perspective-taking, accountability, and growth ordinarily occur.
Although AI could, in principle, be optimized to promote broader social goals or longer-term personal development, such priorities do not fit well with systems that prioritize keeping users engaged. Systems that challenge users or surface uncomfortable perspectives are less likely to maximize engagement, even if they ultimately support personal growth. These dilemmas highlight the urgent need to ensure that AI systems operate responsibly within the evolving social and psychological ecosystem they co-create with users. They also raise broader ethical questions. How should immediate psychological gratification (满足) be weighed against longer-term individual and collective outcomes Who should determine where that balance lies Addressing these challenges will require sustained interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers.
28. The academic user experience is mentioned mainly to ______.
A．present a possible result
B．justify a novel approach
C．introduce a bigger danger
D．illustrate a typical case
29. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Countering AI’s sycophancy is far from easy.
B．Collaboration with responsible AI is necessary.
C．Global expert involvement solves ethical questions.
D．Systems with higher engagement limit personal growth.
30. What does the author intend to tell us
A．Affirmation helps avoid social friction.
B．Tolerance benefits broader social goals.
C．Reliable feedback facilitates social skills.
D．Navigating conflicts fosters social growth.

“If you can in one day renovate yourself, so do from day to day. Yea, let there be daily renovation.” Inscribed on King Cheng Tang’s washbasin, these words stress continuous self-improvement and constant change. Ezra Pound’s “Make it New” similarly advocated change as a core modernist ideal. Still, Pound wrote slowly; his epic The Cantos took 50 years, left fragmented and incomplete, with him regretting its lack of cohesion.
Most of us have an antagonistic relationship to change. We prefer it when life coasts along with a sense that everything is stable and more-or-less on track. Yet French philosopher Henri Bergson noted, “To exist is to change… to go on creating oneself endlessly,” he writes. Life, according to Bergson, is a continuous process of creation and destruction, where we are caught between opposing forces. We notice change when it’s abrupt and final, like a job change or the death of a loved one. But Bergson believed change happens constantly, even in calm moments. He contended that our past follows us, shaping the present and leading us along unique paths.
It is a comforting thought to acknowledge that we press upon our future at every moment in utterly novel ways — never predictable, nothing decided. But it also explains that quiet desperation we feel when life is going well, a sensation like trying to contain sand spilling through fingertips — how to stop the flow briefly to savour good times Bergson rejected “clock time”, time quantified by mechanical ticking. He favoured “duration”, where time unfolds as a fluid, continuous flow rather than separate moments. We are the dancer moving through time, making it up as we go. “Pure duration is the form our conscious states assume when the ego lets itself live, refraining from separating present from former states,” he writes.
Similarly, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus noted that change is the only constant. “All things are in a state of flux,” he said. Change, driven by opposing forces like life and death, light and dark, creates the world around us. Conflict, he believed, is essential for the creation of new things, and through this dynamic, novelty arises. In Taoism, the philosophy of Laozi, as written in the Tao Te Ching, also emphasizes the balance of opposites. The Yin-Yang symbol, representing interconnected forces like light and dark, illustrates this harmony.
Ultimately, Pound’s call to “Make it New” reflects the truth of life itself: change is constant, and through the clash of opposing forces, we find new ideas and solutions. As Alan Watts said, “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” Embracing change is crucial for growth and renewal.
31. What does the word “antagonistic” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Dependent. B．Resistant. C．Indifferent. D．Flexible.
32. According to the passage, what can we learn about clock time and duration
A．Clock time structures daily life.
B．Duration measures fixed intervals.
C．Duration flows as lived experience.
D．Clock time enhances human awareness.
33. What can be inferred from the passage
A．Stability holds greater value.
B．Opposites push change forward.
C．Change is well perceived in daily life.
D．Conflict leads to creation and destruction.
34. Which would be the best title for the passage
A．Nothing but Change
B．Conflict and Change
C．The Flow of Time and Life
D．Change in Thought and Art
第二节 七选五
Many people suffer from narrow identity — identifying with a single, shallow aspect of the self. When we reduce ourselves to labels — gender, profession, winner, loser — it’s easy to mistake labels for the essence of who we are.
35 For example, I may be called a writer, a professional, or a man from a particular place. These describe aspects of my life but fail to capture its essence. My career, reputation, or circumstances may alter greatly, yet who I am will remain the same: someone who tries to act with integrity and treat others with respect.
We are also not our self-centered pride or habitual defense mechanisms, which can lead us to blame, deny, avoid, or win at all costs. 36 This true self asks not “How can I look good ” but “How can I become better ” That is why, when we interact with others — the central question is always this: Am I trying to understand them, or just trying to defend myself
The danger of narrow identity is that it confuses labels with belonging and morality. When identity becomes tied to a label or group, loyalty to the label or group will likely cloud moral judgment. Identity becomes less about understanding and improving oneself and more about the superiority of “us” over “them.” 37
Who we are emerges from something deeper than any label. We are humans capable of awareness, compassion, curiosity, and growth, guided by conscience to reflect on our actions and align them with our most humane values. Early in life, we are shaped by love and pain. 38 These give life meaning and enrich our identity.
The choices we make reflect moral character, especially in how we handle frustration, how we treat those who disagree, and how we behave in private. Identity is not derived from a group or a label. 39 When we escape our attachment to narrow identities, we see others not as labels but as fellow humans with their own struggles, hopes, and desires.
A．Our true self is built over time, not given by any label.
B．We are not mere collections of the roles we play in life.
C．Later, we’re shaped by our choices and responsibilities.
D．The result is often anger, fear, and an endless struggle for approval.
E．The essential self is growth - oriented and focuses on doing what is right.
F．Our identity is shaped by both our past experiences and our future goals.
G．It’s built through actions and through the willingness to reflect on those actions.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Our lives are increasingly getting faster. A text message arrives; we feel compelled to respond immediately. An email appears, and we interrupt whatever we were doing to acknowledge it. If something is asking for our attention right now, we believe it must deserve it. But urgency and importance are not the same thing.
Urgent matters demand immediate action. Important matters shape how we live our lives. The problem is that urgent matters are almost always easier to address. They arrive clearly defined and time-bound: answer this message, meet this deadline. Once completed, they give us the satisfying feeling of progress.
Important matters, such as how we take care of our health and advance in our careers, unfold slowly. They require reflection rather than reaction. Questions in these areas don’t demand immediate answers, but you do have to answer them, since they profoundly influence how you will live your life.
When we respond to immediate cues rather than consider distant consequences, we gradually shift our attention away from what matters most. We become adept at managing the urgent while forgetting about what’s important. Over time, the patterns we create through reacting rather than reflecting solidify into what I like to call “life grooves.” The more deeply those grooves form, the harder they are to step out of. In this way, urgency culture can quietly limit our freedom.
Living well requires more than efficiently responding to external demands. It involves choosing actions and cultivating habits that reflect the kind of person you want to become. But reflection takes time, and urgency rarely makes space for it. So, one of the first steps to living well is choosing to give yourself the time to make good choices.
The question of how to spend a single afternoon may seem trivial, but the pattern of how we spend our afternoons shapes who we become. Not everything urgent is important, and the challenge is recognizing the difference before our habits create a life for us that we would rather not have.
40. In what way are important matters different from urgent ones

Dear Jim,
I'm glad you're interested in our summer social practice about rural revitalization. I plan to teach kids basic English and share interesting stories in the countryside.
I choose this activity because rural children lack enough English learning resources. I hope to broaden their horizons and bring them joy. Meanwhile, I can gain valuable experience and do my part as a young person.
Wish me good luck!
Yours,
Li Hua
