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.
24. 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.

D．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
C
Most young people today have never picked a tomato off a vine, collected eggs from a chicken cage, or understood the work that goes into growing a single head of lettuce. This disconnection from food sources creates a broader disconnection from the environment and the systems that sustain us. Sustainable agriculture education fills this gap by giving students direct experience with how food is grown and harvested.
When the youth engage with farming and gardening, they develop a deeper appreciation for the resources required to produce food. They witness first-hand the relationship between healthy soil, clean water, and nutritious crops. They learn that food production doesn’t happen in isolation but as part of complex ecosystems involving insects, microorganisms, weather patterns, and human labor.
Beyond environmental awareness, students also learn patience as they wait for seeds to germinate (发芽) and plants to mature. They develop problem-solving abilities when facing challenges such as pests, drought, and unexpected weather. They practice responsibility through regular care and maintenance of plants and animals. They experience how individual contributions combine to create collective success. Many students also discover they enjoy and excel at hands-on work, building confidence that might not emerge in traditional academic settings.
When students work with living systems, they witness cause-and-effect relationships that might otherwise remain abstract. Water conservation becomes personal when students must regularly irrigate their plants and can observe the consequences of too much or too little water. Installing rain barrels (桶), learning about drip irrigation, or comparing the water needs of different crops can make resource management tangible. Students can begin thinking critically about water use, not just in the garden but in their broader lives.
Simply begin by assessing your available space and resources. A sunny corner of a schoolyard, a vacant lot, or even containers on a patio (露台) can become productive growing spaces. The key is to start with manageable projects that can succeed. Growing easy, fast-maturing crops gives students quick wins and keeps up enthusiasm while they learn fundamental skills.
28. What problem can sustainable agriculture education address
A．The urgent threat posed by climate change.
B．The growing challenges of ensuring food security.
C．Students’ indifference to environmental conservation.
D．Students’ lack of direct engagement with food production.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Gardening develops students’ physical strength.
B．Agricultural education builds practical life skills.
C．Experiential learning boosts academic performance.
D．Students prefer hands-on work to academic learning.
30. What does “tangible” underlined in paragraph 4 mean
A．Concrete and easy to see.
B．Unstable and short-lived.
C．Flexible and unpredictable.
D．Complex and slow to appear.
31. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A．Starting agricultural education is practical and accessible.
B．Professional equipment is essential for agricultural programs.
C．Schools need experienced farmers to run agricultural programs.
D．Small-scale gardening projects are more useful for students to learn.
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 am instead of 6 pm experienced far milder sickness and tiredness. Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 am 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.
32. 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.
33. What is implied about chronotherapy in Paragraph 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.
34. Which of the following is a practical daily application of circadian rhythm
A．Lisa opens curtains to get morning sunlight.
B．Tom uses his phone right before bedtime.
C．David trains hard between 9 and 11 am.
D．Mary gets flu shot at lunch break.
35. 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

根据短文内容，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。
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
36 _______ 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 (原子) of AI language. The way your prompt (提示词) gets split into tokens directly affects how the AI responds. 37 _______
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. 38 _______ 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. 39 _______ 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. 40 _______
A．AI models don’t read words or even letters.
B．This generates surprising plots and fresh ideas.
C．It’s the advantage of almost every useful AI product.
D．So we should never trust AI blindly for vital information.
E．Understand it, and you’ll see why some prompts work better.
F．This helps you know why your AI assistant is acting confused.
G．Think of it as a whiteboard— old content must be erased when full.

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 56 _______ (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 57 _______ (twenty) century bother with such a laborious craft Most 58 _______ (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 59 _______ (whole) different from the modern pursuit of perfection. Her 60 _______ (explain) of beauty stayed with me: “A thing is beautiful because of its mistakes.” I have never encountered 61 _______ 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 62 _______ 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 63 _______ (pass) at all. 64 _______ a cold December evening, I finally understood that she had taught me not a skill, but a way of being. To become 65 _______ honest observer of one’s own life is to accept every mark as part of the design.

“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 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!
Though her tips were for comedy, they greatly improved my research presentation.

When the time came for my next research presentation, the difference was clear.

Though her tips were for comedy, they greatly improved my research presentation. I followed her suggestions strictly. I took part in more open mic events and watched excellent comedians to learn their speaking skills. I polished my presentation script repeatedly and practiced over and over again every day. Gradually, my nervousness faded and I became more confident on stage.
When the time came for my next research presentation, the difference was clear. I stood on the stage calmly and spoke fluently. I shared my research clearly and naturally. All the listeners listened carefully and applauded warmly in the end. I finally overcame the fear of public speaking and gained great confidence.
