For nearly two decades, I’ve studied what makes some people luckier than others. Luck isn’t a lightning strike — it’s more like the wind, always blowing. The difference lies in whether we’ve built a sail to catch it.
Twelve years ago, on an early morning flight to Ecuador, I decided to break my routine. Instead of putting on headphones to sleep, I started a conversation with the man next to me — a publisher. Later, I took another risk: I showed him a book proposal I’d written for a class project. He politely declined, but we exchanged contacts. Months later, I had lunch with his team, during which one of his editors turned to me and asked, “Have you ever thought about writing a book ” I smiled and replied, “Actually, yes.” I pulled out the very same proposal. This time, it found the right audience. Within two weeks, I had a publishing contract. Within two years, the book became a hit. All of this started with a simple “hello.”
Seven years ago, I was overseeing three highly competitive fellowship programs at Stanford. When rejection letters went out, I expected disappointment. But a young man named Brian sent a gracious note: “I know I’ve been rejected twice, but I want to thank you for the opportunity. I learned so much through the process.” Struck by his maturity, I invited him to meet. Then, drawing from his experience on Stanford’s football team, we designed an independent study on leadership, which later inspired him to start a company called Play for Tomorrow.
Once, in my creativity class, I asked students to brainstorm both the best and worst ideas for a new restaurant. After collecting them, I tore up the “best” ideas and redistributed the “worst” — like a restaurant in a garbage dump, or one serving cockroach (蟑螂) sushi. Their task: turn the terrible idea into something brilliant. Within minutes, they transformed them. The garbage dump restaurant became a place that repurposed unused food from Michelin-starred kitchens. The cockroach sushi bar became a place for special ingredients. The exercise revealed a truth: even the most unlikely ideas contain seeds of possibility.
Luck rarely comes from nowhere. It grows from small risks, genuine gratitude, and a willingness to see potential where others don’t.
24. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s experience twelve years ago
A．She was rejected at first, though her book got well received finally.
B．She followed her routine of keeping to herself on the flight to Ecuador.
C．She had a chance encounter with an editor because of a simple “hello”.
D．She approached the publisher, hoping to present him with a book proposal.
25. The underlined word “overseeing” (paragraph 3) most probably means ________.
A．observing materials B．watching things from above
C．reviewing pieces of work D．supervising the operation
26. Based on the author’s experiences in the passage, which of the following would she most likely encourage
A．Showing appreciation to whoever ignored your proposal.
B．Transforming unlikely ideas into useful and creative solutions.
C．Saying “hello” to strangers wishfully to encounter some authorities.
D．Keeping abandoning good ideas to creatively make for new potentials.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Build Your Own Sail to Gather Unexpected Luck
B．Small Actions Determine One’s Future Success
C．Transform Bad Ideas into Great Success
D．Embrace Rejection and Stick to Your Dreams
C
Do you know what percentage of your family’s total expenses is spent on food
This is the main focus of the Engel coefficient (恩格尔系数), an economic concept that describes the relationship between income and spending on food. For years, it has been considered an important measure of people’s living standards. If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food.
However, recently a topic has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China.
One of the key reasons for this concern comes from the Chinese attitude toward food, shown by the old saying, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. The food culture in China is rich and diverse, and people are willing to spend more money and energy on it.
“In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a user from Hunan commented on Sina Weibo.
Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art, reported China Highlights. The principles of traditional Chinese medicine are employed all over China to create healthy, well-balanced meals. Whether on a snack street, in a restaurant or at someone’s home, food is often the common ground over which people gather to talk and share.
“Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance to communication,” Wang Xuetai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Guangming Daily. “Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the perspective of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals.”
These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people.
28. What does the Engel coefficient indicate
A．The lowest standard of living. B．The cost of basic living expenses.
C．The share of income spent on food. D．The quality of meals people can afford.
29. Why do many people question the relevance of the Engel coefficient in China
A．Rising living standards have made it less relevant.
B．China has a completely different economic system.
C．The Engel coefficient is an outdated economic concept.
D．Chinese food culture and consumption habits are unique.
30. What is the purpose of mentioning the Sina Weibo user’s words in the text
A．To highlight the user’s unique spending habits.
B．To emphasize the importance of saving money.
C．To illustrate the significance of food in Chinese culture.
D．To show the user’s changing income and spending patterns.
31. What role does food play in Chinese culture according to Wang Xuetai
A．It reflects people’s focus on health.
B．It shapes modern consumer trends.
C．It is a tool for economic governance.
D．It connects spiritual values and social life.
D
In a breakthrough for the field of neuroscience, scientists have developed a new brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man to speak through a digital avatar (数字化身). This is a significant leap beyond previous BCIs, which required users to spell words letter by letter at a painfully slow pace. The new system taps into the brain’s deep and complex neural code for speech.
The study involved a 47-year-old man who lost his ability to speak after a brainstem stroke. Surgeons implanted a thin sheet of 253 electrodes onto the surface of his brain over the area that controls speech. These electrodes intercept (拦截) the brain signals that would have gone to his lips, tongue, jaw, and larynx. A cable(电缆) connects the implant to a bank of computers, which translate these signals into text and then into spoken words.
To train the system’s AI algorithms, the man repeatedly tried to say a 1,024-word vocabulary while the computer recorded his brain signals. Eventually, the computer learned to identify which signals corresponded to which phonemes — the tiny sub-units of speech that form words. When the man attempts to speak, the system decodes these phonemes at a rate of about 80 words per minute. While this is still much slower than natural conversation (150 words per minute), it is a vast improvement over previous BCI typing speeds.
Perhaps the most emotional aspect of the technology is the customized avatar. The researchers worked with a company that creates hyper-realistic animations to build a digital face that mirrors the man’s own features. They also used software that recreated his pre-injury voice based on a recording of him speaking at his wedding. When the man thinks a sentence, the avatar speaks it in his voice with a smile, a frown, or a raised eyebrow. A simple sentence like “It is nice to see you” becomes a powerful moment of human connection. The team is now working to make the system wireless, cutting the physical cable that connects him to the computer.
32. How does the new BCI differ from previous ones
A．It requires surgery to implant electrodes. B．It helps patients who have lost a limb.
C．It allows for faster word generation. D．It focuses on writing rather than speaking.
33. What role do the 253 electrodes play
A．They record neural signals from the speech area.
B．They send sounds directly to the patient’s ear.
C．They stimulate the vocal cords to vibrate.
D．They power the digital avatar wirelessly.
34. What is the purpose of mentioning the patient’s wedding video
A．To show how emotional the process is.
B．To explain where the avatar’s voice came from.
C．To prove that the patient could once speak normally.
D．To advertise the company that created the avatar.
35. What is the next major goal for the research team
A．Increasing the vocabulary size. B．Making the implant cable-free.
C．Improving the decoding speed. D．Reducing the number of electrodes.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
For most of my life, I always treated taste as fixed. When I moved to London, I threw myself into work while my housemates were endlessly trying new things. My automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same daily routine. That left me feeling flat and a little empty. I began to question whether my taste is fixed or could be trained. I once read that children need eight to fifteen tries to accept a new food. ___36___
I decided to start small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the instinct (本能) to dismiss it despite my longstanding dislike of reading and went anyway. ___37___ Now I spend mornings reading physical books instead of wandering aimlessly.
Then came music and performance — all things I had previously disregarded. ___38___ Gradually, I became fascinated by the unfamiliar rhythms and movements and felt proud of my survival in the end.
___39___ However, I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Sitting opposite people with wildly different life stories made me realize how rarely I speak with other generations. We talked about their past careers, local news and new chess moves. Interestingly, I felt more connected there than with people of my age.
Research suggests that engaging your curiosity in new activities can help protect against age - related cognitive (认知的) decline. ___40___ Getting outside my comfort zone now gives me a rush.
A．Yet, I was eager for engagement.
B．I didn’t love everything straight away.
C．For me, it is far more than brain health.
D．Initially, I was awkward and sometimes confused.
E．As expected, new tastes rarely come without discomfort.
F．To my surprise, I enjoyed the discussion and the people there.
G．Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults

Ulfata’s journey continues. The snow, the cold and the long distances do not ___54___ her resolve.

Mira and Kael were adventurous siblings who loved exploring nature and always supported each other through every challenge. For days, they had been preparing for a weekend hike in the mountains.
It all started with a map Kael found in an old hiking magazine at the library. Tucked between pages about mountain trails was an old photo of a lake so blue it looked unreal — “Hidden Eagle Lake,” it said, “almost no one knows how to get there.” That was all he needed. “Mira, we have to go!” he said, bursting into her room.
For days, they studied printouts, packing and repacking their bags, checking lists again and again. Their parents weren’t thrilled, but finally agreed: one night, just the two of them, deep in the Pine Ridge Mountains.
On a foggy Sunday morning, backpacks heavy on their shoulders, they left the last road behind and began climbing. The trail was steeper than expected, roots snaking across the path, fog wrapping the trees like smoke. But when they finally broke through the treeline, there it was — the lake, glowing under the clearing sky, surrounded by cliffs and silence. No footprints. No signs. Just wild, untouched beauty.
They dropped their packs with a laugh, quickly set up the tent, and lit a fire. As soup warmed over the flames, they sat close, swapping stories from past trips, feeling like real explorers. For a moment, everything seemed perfect.
Then Kael saw it — a dark gap beneath some thick vines, half-hidden by the rocks. “Look! A cave!” he said, eyes wide. Mira hesitated — it looked damp... maybe dangerous. But curiosity won. “Okay,” she said, “but just a quick look.”
Big mistake.
Inside, the air turned cold. The narrow tunnel opened into a wider space, water dripping from sharp rocks above. Kael stepped forward — and the ground gave way beneath him.
Mira’s heart sank, but she forced herself to stay calm. ________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
Kael took a deep breath, grabbing the rope with one hand. ________________________________________________________________

Mira’s heart sank, but she forced herself to stay calm. She shouted Kael’s name anxiously and heard his weak reply from below. She took out the rope in her backpack at once, tied one end firmly to a solid rock, and let the other end down slowly. She kept talking to Kael to cheer him up, telling him not to panic and hold on tight.
Kael took a deep breath, grabbing the rope with one hand. He struggled to steady himself and climbed up bit by bit. With Mira’s constant encouragement, he finally got out of the dangerous pit. Both of them were scared. They decided to leave the cave right away. This experience taught them that curiosity is good, but safety always comes first during exploration.
