We often conceive of beauty as something rare and splendid: mountain sunsets coloring the sky in streaks of orange and purple, stars scattered like broken diamonds across the night, and garden flowers blooming vividly enough to draw countless buzzing bees. In our eagerness to hunt for such extraordinary scenes, we rush through our days, yet we eventually discover that the most touching beauty, which is frequently neglected by those who fix their eyes only on grandeur, has been quietly surrounding us all along.
It dwells in the gentle morning light filtering through the window, casting soft shadows on a desk where a half-finished book rests; it lives in the silent rustle of turning pages, a steaming warm drink on chilly days, and the faint breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass mixed with dew. These ordinary moments unfold peacefully, like a gentle melody that echoes softly in our hearts.
I once pursued constant excitement, convinced that life ought to be thrilling and full of daring adventures, so I overlooked dull mornings, plain afternoons and tranquil evenings until I learned to slow down, pause and observe carefully, thus truly catching sight of the beauty hidden in daily trivialities (琐事).
I watched my mother arrange flowers with great care every weekend as if she were handling a precious treasure, and an elderly man feeding stray cats in the park while talking to them gently as if they were lifelong friends. I also observed raindrops dancing on windowpanes, leaves shifting colors with the seasons, and a stranger’s warm smile instantly sweeping away the gloom.
Beauty is seldom flashy; more often, it exists in the quiet, ordinary fragments of life that warm our souls. Appreciating such beauty requires patience and sensitivity, meaning we can truly love life and find happiness in small moments. We need not journey far to seek wonders, for they exist in every breath, every second and the gentle world around us. To cherish the ordinary is indeed the most beautiful state of life.
4. Why do many people overlook the most touching beauty
A．They rush through daily tasks.
B．They only seek grand scenes.
C．They lack patience for life.
D．They dislike ordinary moments.

B．By contrasting past and present views.
C．By quoting famous sayings.
D．By describing imaginary events.
7. What does the author mainly want to say
A．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
B．The sun shines on both the palace and the cottage.
C．Stop and smell the roses.
D．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
C
Novelist Virginia Woolf, like all writers, faced the challenge when preparing to write or speak: How do you draw out from the swirl (漩涡) of your thoughts a worthy insight What kind of catch can you get to reward your audience Her approach was to engage herself in incubation. Taking a cue from her approach may help you when you’re stuck for words.
According to latest controlled studies, a period of downtime develops creative ideas. The theory holds that wandering brains are not truly wandering. They are busy developing thoughts — linking related ideas, restructuring mental representations, and freeing attention from irrelevant thoughts. A 2025 study showed the benefits of mind wandering. Researchers asked participants to write a fictional story in 10 minutes based on a given cue. Before writing, one group took a break to let their minds wander, while another had no break at all. Though the cue allowed wide creativity, the mind-wandering group produced the most creative stories, with more diverse thinking and higher creativity ratings. The effect was slight but significant.
The experiment also showed something else: Staying too busy puts you at a disadvantage. The people asked to take a “busy” break — spending 10 minutes on a spot-the-difference task — were less than half as likely to gain the problem-solving insight as the wandering group. Apparently, engaging in this kind of break while occupying working memory is self-defeating.
If this approach works, what form works best Many scientists theorize that sleep offers the biggest boost for problem-solving: people performed much better on matchstick rearrangement problems after a nap, though not all experiments show such neat results, as the benefit may depend on sleep stage and problem type. Overall, if you need an insight, tap into your unconscious like Virginia Woolf suggested — drop your line into its swirl, grab the pull whether napping or not, and what starts as a flash of an idea may grow into something truly remarkable.
8. What does the word “incubation” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
A．A time of restful waiting.
B．A state of deep focus.
C．A period of hard thinking.
D．A moment of sudden insight.
9. What can we learn about the 2025 study mentioned in Paragraph 2
A．The researchers gave all groups the same writing topic.
B．The effect of mind wandering was too weak to be noticed.
C．Wandering minds create more original works.
D．All participants were given a 10-minute break before writing.
10. What does the author think of the “busy” break in Paragraph 3
A．It is as effective as mind wandering.
B．It helps people focus better on problems.
C．It is widely used in scientific experiments.
D．It occupies memory and harms creative thinking.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Different ways to improve storytelling skills.
B．The importance of taking regular naps in daily life.
C．Virginia Woolf’s unique writing style and great works.
D．How mind wandering and incubation help creative thinking.
D
Some check watches or phone apps to know the time, but few realize our bodies have an internal clock — our circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Disrupted rhythms are linked to illnesses like Type 2 Diabetes and cancer, and drug effects vary significantly by administration time. This connection between treatment time and health outcomes has generated a specialized approach: chronotherapy.
The idea of chronotherapy — giving drugs at right times — owes much to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which describes organs’ activity peaks at specific times. French researcher Francis Lévi drew on this wisdom to explore cancer treatment: healthy cells divide fixedly, while cancer cells multiply uncontrollably. Since chemotherapy (化疗) targets rapidly dividing cells, Levi reasoned that giving drugs when healthy cells are “asleep” could boost effectiveness and reduce side effects.
Medical tests proved promising. Those who received chemotherapy at 6 a.m. instead of 6 p.m. experienced far milder sickness and tiredness. Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 a.m. generate four times more antibodies than later in the day.
Yet chronotherapy faced a problem: everyone’s internal clock varies by up to 12 hours. Measuring it used to be time-consuming — tracking melatonin (褪黑素) release required hours in darkness and frequent samples. Now, new tests using blood or even hair offer quicker results. For example, Germany’s BodyClock test analyzes clock gene activity in hair follicles (毛囊) to reveal internal time, helping tailor treatments.
These advances in determining our biological time not only support precision medicine but also the use of daily rhythms to enhance overall health. For instance, exposure to morning light helps advance the body clock, while minimizing evening blue light promotes sound sleep. Scheduling demanding mental tasks or intense exercise during personal peak cognitive and physical periods (typically afternoon to early evening) can boost performance.
By making use of our circadian rhythm — through timed treatments and rhythm-aware living — we can unlock longer, healthier lives.
12. On what did Francis Lévi base his exploration of cancer treatment
A．The different division patterns of cells.
B．The specific time when cancer cells divide slowly.
C．The measurement of patients’ sleep patterns.
D．The theoretical wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.
13. What is implied about chronotherapy in Paragraphs 3 and 4
A．It has been widely applied in clinical practice.
B．Its application used to be limited by measurement barriers.
C．It mainly depends on traditional rhythm assessment methods.
D．Its actual effectiveness is closely related to treatment timing.
14. Which of the following is NOT a practical daily application of circadian rhythm
A．Lisa opens the curtains right after waking up to get some sunlight every morning.
B．Tom avoids working on his laptop or scrolling through his phone right before bedtime.
C．David schedules his daily high-intensity training sessions between 4 and 6 p.m.
D．Mary gets her annual flu shot during her lunch break at 12:30 p.m.
15. What would be the most suitable title for the text
A．Follow Your Circadian Rhythm
B．Reset Your Internal Clock Scientifically
C．Choose a Healthy Lifestyle Wisely
D．New Advances in Cancer Treatment

Nowadays, many people talk about AI but only recite definitions or know nothing about technical terms. I believe that there are these 4 terms that, if you actually understand them, you’ll be miles ahead of almost everyone else in the room. Let’s start.Tokens
16 Instead, they process small text pieces known as tokens. For example, the sentence “I love pizza” can be broken into 3 tokens: “I”, “love”, “pizza”. Tokens are the atoms of AI language. 17 Context window
It’s the total amount of text measured in tokens that an AI model can see and consider at one time. This includes everything: your instructions, any documents you’ve shared, and the model’s own replies. 18 What is the practical lesson If you’re working on something important like summarizing a long document or analyzing data, always be aware that your AI might be forgetting earlier parts of your conversation.Temperature
When you ask an AI to write something, there’s a setting known as temperature, which decides how random or predictable the output will be. Higher = more creative, lower = more predictable. So here’s the unwritten rule that most people don’t know: If you’re using AI for writing fiction, increase the temperature. 19 If you’re using AI for factual tasks, you want low temperature. The AI should be precise, not creative.Hallucination
Hallucination is when an AI gives out wrong answers with absolute confidence. Why does this happen AI language models are not databases. They don’t look up facts. They predict the next most likely token based on patterns they learned during training. 20
A．AI models don’t read words or even letters.
B．It’s the advantage of almost every useful AI product.
C．So we should never trust AI blindly for vital information.
D．You want the unexpected, surprising twists and fresh ideas.
E．This helps you know why your AI assistant is acting confused.
F．Think of it as a whiteboard — old content must be erased when full.
G．Understand this, and you’ll see why some prompts (提示符) work better.

My son recently wrote a speech based on Emerson’s idea about living “above time” — not thinking about either the past or the future, 29 to-do lists and existential (存在主义的) worries.

第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It was on a misty autumn morning that I first met an old German woman. Her 36 (dye) wool with plant leaves was a delicate art that absorbed almost every waking moment of her life. Her hands, stained blue and yellow, told stories I could not yet read. Why would anyone in the 37 (twenty) century bother with such a laborious craft Most 38 (German) I knew would have laughed. But she never gave a direct answer. One day, pointing to a piece of cloth that had failed to take color evenly, she whispered, “These imperfect patches are the only truly original parts.” It was then that I realized her approach was 39 (whole) different from the modern pursuit of perfection. Her 40 (explain) of beauty stayed with me: “A thing is beautiful because of its mistakes.” I have never encountered 41 a little kind act in any other teacher that it completely reshaped my understanding of love — for she accepted every flaw as a gift. It was precisely her gentle voice in 42 I had placed my deepest trust that planted this seed in my heart. Many years later, I am certain that the memory I had thought long buried — the same memory of her stained hands and her whisper about beauty, which I had so often tried to suppress from my conscious mind — sprang back that cold December evening, bringing her smile and the smell of wet wool, as if no time 43 (pass) at all. 44 a cold December evening, I finally understood that she had taught me not a skill, but a way of being. To become 45 honest observer of one’s own life is to accept every mark as part of the design.

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。
“Good afternoon, everyone. Glad you all could join me today. I’m excited to share my research on...” Uh-oh. “I’m excited to share my research on...” Oh no! No! No! “... my research on...” Why is this happening to me My knees were trembling; my throat felt drier with every second. It was the annual seminar at my department, where all Ph. D students had to present their research progress. I looked around the lecture hall and saw 50 pairs of keen eyes staring at me, anticipating my next words. I was certainly not glad they had joined me, nor excited to be speaking.
Although I felt confident at my work bench and comfortable discussing my research with my mentor and lab mates, my introvert nature silenced me when I faced a larger, unfamiliar audience. Prior to graduate school, I had no experience in public speaking, and now the fear overwhelmed me. But with another seminar just a couple of months away and more public speaking ahead, I refused to let my nerves hold me back again.
I took a drastic step outside my comfort zone to sign up for an open mic event (开放麦) at a local stand-up comedy (脱口秀) club. I’d always admired the confidence of stand-up comedians, and I thought the relaxed atmosphere might allow a bit more room for error.
Although my jokes did not receive thunderous applause, I was surprised to find I enjoyed my time on stage, and I felt I could do better. I approached Sania, a brilliant comic whose wit and eloquence made her the highlight of the evening. Sania offered three invaluable tips. “Attend more open mic events,” she advised. “Watch more comics perform.” Her next piece of advice was to write and rewrite a script. And Sania’s saved her most valuable advice for last: Practice!
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2) 请按如下格式作答。
Though her tips were for comedy, they greatly improved my research presentation.

第二节 读后续写（参考范文）
Though her tips were for comedy, they greatly improved my research presentation. I followed her advice strictly. I went to open mic events regularly and learned from other performers’ body language and speaking skills. I polished my presentation script repeatedly and practiced over and over again in front of a mirror. Gradually, my nervousness faded and I became more confident.
When the time came for my next research presentation, the difference was clear. Standing on the stage, I took a deep breath and began my speech fluently. I made eye contact with the audience naturally and delivered my research smoothly. All my efforts paid off. I finally defeated my fear of public speaking and realized that constant practice is the key to success.
