Dutch cookbook writer Joke Boon suffers from anosmia—the inability to smell. She lost her sense of smell at the age of four. And although her tongue has kept its taste perception (感知), the lack of smell means that she can only distinguish the five basic flavors sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami—as well as fat. Doctors say she has lost around 94% of her tasting perception.
Despite this, she has written five cookbooks. So how does someone without a sense of smell experience food For Boon, it’s mainly with her brain—by employing a facial nerve.
“You know the feeling when you eat too much wasabi (芥末酱) at once ” says Boon. “I use this nerve a lot to ‘taste’ my food. I can also feel ginger and pepper this way.”
The look of food is important, too. “Color is very important”, she says. “I don‘t like white food because for me white equals no flavor. The texture (质地) and sound of food have big roles, too. A walnut makes a different sound than a hazelnut.”
“It’s to do with the amount of fat—a hazelnut gives a hard sound, a walnut more of a soft sound. When you listen, you also hear the difference between a carrot and an apple.”
Despite her condition, Boon has always liked to cook. “Food was very important during my childhood,” she says. “Even though I couldn‘t taste anything, I wanted to participate. I started experimenting when I was a student and began to write down my recipes (菜谱).”
Boon’s message for those who’ve lost their sense of smell: focus on stimulation of the trigeminal nerve, and taste with your brain and your intellect. Cook your own food, so you can decide what‘s in it. “Not being able to smell is unpleasant,” she admits. “But you can live a pleasant life if you know how.”
24. What does the underlined word “distinguish” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Tell.
B．Enjoy.
C．Smell.
D．See.
25. What does Boon mainly rely on to experience food
A．The texture of food.
B．The look of food.
C．The sound of food.
D．A facial nerve.
26. What makes it possible for Boon to know the difference between a carrot and an apple
A．Their tastes are different.
B．Their colors are different.
C．Their sounds are different.
D．Their smells are different.
27. What does the text mainly talk about
A．Boon’s fight against anosmia.
B．How to enjoy life to its fullest.
C．People suffering from anosmia.
D．Cooking food in different ways.

In the field of artificial intelligence, a new breakthrough player, DeepSeek, has recently gained significant attention on social media. It is an AI assistant developed by a Chinese company called DeepSeek. Earlier in January 2025, DeepSeek released its AI model, which competes with leading models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1. What sets DeepSeek apart is its ability to develop high-performing AI models at a significantly lower cost. It’s built to assist with various tasks, from answering questions to generating content. However, unlike the American AI giants, which usually offer free versions but charge fees for access to higher-performing models and more responses, DeepSeek is entirely free to use.
DeepSeek operates as a conversational AI, meaning it can understand and respond to natural language inputs. It offers two large language models: DeepSeek-V3 and DeepThink (R1). They can be accessed via web pages or apps. DeepSeek-V3 works like the standard ChatGPT model, providing fast responses, generating text, rewriting emails and summarizing documents. DeepThink (R1) provides an alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1 model, which requires a subscription, but both DeepSeek models are free to use. What sets the DeepThink (R1) model apart from other AI tools is that it lays out the complete thought process and indicates the time it takes to generate the answer before providing a detailed reply.
AI models require large amounts of data to be trained effectively, sometimes including sensitive personal information. The use of personal data carries a risk of data leaks or misuse. DeepSeek’s privacy policy allows it to collect user data, such as text inputs, chat history, and device details, for training purposes. This has raised concerns about the potential misuse of personal information.
DeepThink (R1) is open-source (源代码开放的), allowing researchers and developers worldwide to access and improve the model. This challenges the market position of Western tech giants and encourages more innovation and collaboration in the AI field. Smaller companies and individual developers can now use advanced AI technology without the high costs of proprietary (专有的) models.
The rise of DeepThink (R1) has forced well-established AI companies to reconsider their strategies. If they don’t innovate quickly, they risk becoming outdated in the changing market.
28. What do we know about Deepseek’s AI model
A．It runs faster than ChatGPT.
B．It charges fees for its full use.
C．It is developed at a lower cost.
D．It is only available for users in China.
29. How does DeepThink (R1) differ from DeepSeek-V3
A．It requires a monthly subscription.
B．It shows a detailed thought process.
C．It excels at summarizing documents.
D．It can be accessed through web pages.
30. What is the author’s concern about Deepseek
A．The violation of user privacy.
B．The spread of misinformation.
C．Its efficiency in generating answers.
D．Its ability to quickly access valuable data.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Many giant AI companies will be outdated in the future.
B．The rise of DeepThink (R1) can help create job opportunities.
C．DeepThink (R1) will slow down the pace of technical innovation.
D．DeepThink (R1) reshapes the competitive market of the AI industry.

We all have people who don’t like us and don’t give us the time of day. Many of them have shown superiority or talked down to us, have criticized us, or have hurt us in a deep way. Why, then, are they the first people we want to tell when we accomplish something big Or when something good happens in our lives “A-ha!” we think, “See I am valuable and worthy. You were wrong about me. Look at me now.”
It all gets back to our wiring (脑回路). Our brain prioritizes survival first and everything else second. It creates an inner stream of survival-based thoughts from “Am I good / smart / pretty enough ” to “I really need a snack,” using an automatic thought network called the default (默认) mode network (DMN). The DMN scans the environment for potential threats and focuses on data that suggests we are unsafe. The people who love and support us give us positive feedback. Those comments don’t capture the DMN’s interest. The person who criticizes us Now he or she has the DMN’s attention. The one who totally rejects us Let’s get the popcorn.
Think about how polite we are to people we don’t like. We are so used to performing social graces that we often dismiss positive feedback coming back to us as courtesy (礼貌), not truth. Negative feedback, on the other hand, can feel like we’re finally hearing what people think. We tend to grasp onto it as some higher truth about who we are and what we should be doing differently when, in reality, it probably has nothing to do with us.
People who criticize or blame others often have an overactive DMN that tells them they are doing everything wrong. When they criticize us, they are revealing the negative thoughts and beliefs that consume their own minds. Their DMNs are convinced that they are unsafe in this world, and they are going to spread that unhappiness to anyone and everyone around them.
So it’s time to kick the annoying people off the soapboxes in our mind. We have nothing to prove to them. And it’s time to embrace positive feedback from the ones we love, and who love us. They’re not being polite; they’re being honest. Give our DMN a reality check on how great we actually are.
32. What really causes us to share accomplishments with critics first
A．The urge to fight back.
B．The desire to prove our worth.
C．The need to regain confidence.
D．The DMN activated by criticism.
33. What does the author mean by “Let’s get the popcorn.” in Paragraph 2
A．We feel offended and lose interest.
B．We turn our attention to other things.
C．We need a snack to comfort ourselves.
D．We expect something dramatic to happen.
34. What does the article suggest about negative and positive feedback
A．Negative feedback is attention-grabbing and honest.
B．Negative feedback actually reflects our lack of security.
C．Positive feedback is less readily accepted by the brain.
D．Positive feedback is less genuine and easily overlooked.
35. What is the text mainly about
A．Embracing positive feedback.
B．Understanding DMN’s secret.
C．The impact of negative feedback.
D．The importance of self-confidence.

Scientists have studied cats’ social relationships—both with other cats and humans—but it can be difficult to tell whether two cats are playing or fighting, says cat behavior researcher Noema Gajdo -Kmecová.
To assess and classify interactions, Gajdo -Kmecová and colleagues watched about 100 videos of different cats interacting in pairs. After viewing about one-third of the videos, Gajdo -Kmecová identified six types of behaviors, including wrestling and staying still. She then watched all of the videos and noted how often each cat displayed one of the specific behaviors, and for how long. By running statistical analyses on the behaviors, she found three types of interactions between the cat pairs: playful, aggressive and intermediate. To confirm the outcome, other members of the team also watched the videos and classified each interaction between cats.
Some clear connections appeared. Quietly wrestling, for example, suggested playtime, while chasing and vocalizations(发声), like growling, hissing or gurgling, implied aggressive encounters.
Intermediate interactions had elements of both playful and aggressive encounters, but especially included prolonged activity of one cat toward the other, such as pouncing(突袭) on or grooming(梳毛) its fellow cat. These in-between encounters could suggest that one cat wants to keep playing while the other doesn’t, with the more playful cat gently pushing to see if its partner wants to continue, the authors say.
This work provides an understanding of cat interactions for the first time, Gajdo -Kmecová says, but it’s just the start. In the future, she plans to study more subtle behaviors, like ear twitches and tail swishes. Gajdo -Kmecová also stresses that one potentially controversial encounter doesn't necessarily signal a terrible cat relationship.
36. What did the study focus on
A．The cats' social relationships with humans.
B．The real meaning of the interactions between cats.
C．The ways cats communicate with each other.
D．The benefits of being a cat owner.
37. What can we learn about the study from Paragraph 2
A．Researchers determined nine types of interactions finally.
B．The frequency and length of certain behaviors were noticed.
C．The cats were trained and grouped before they were filmed.
D．100 pairs of different cats interacting were watched on the spot.
38. Which can be viewed as intermediate interactions
A．The two cats are wrestling quietly.
B．The two cats are grooming each other.
C．One cat is pouncing while the other stays still.
D．One cat is running after the other violently.
39. What can be found according to the last paragraph
A．A future idea of the study.
B．A data analysis of the study.
C．A conclusion of the study.
D．An application of the study.
七选五
Most of us assume those hyper-achievers who are always able to squeeze in their workout，eat healthy foods and pick their kids up on time must have superhuman self-control. But science points to a different answer: ____40____ The only catch is that building good habits takes effort and insight. Thankfully, here are a few research-backed steps that can set you on the path to where you want to be.
Set a specific goal
The way you define the goal you hope to turn into a habit does matter. Goals like “meditate regularly” are too abstract, research has shown. ____41____ Don’t say “I’ll meditate regularly.” Say “I’ll meditate for 15 minutes each day.” This is actually key to habit formation, making the task easy to carry out, but it’s often overlooked.
Create a detailed,cue-based plan
____42____ Scientists have proven that you’ll make more progress toward your goal if you decide not just what you’ll do, but when and where you’ll be cued to do it. Making this kind of plan reduces the chances you’ll forget to follow through because the when and where in your plan will serve as cues to action.
A plan like “I’ll study Spanish for 30 minutes every weekday” is OK. But a detailed, cue-based plan like “Every workday after my last meeting, I’ll spend 30 minutes studying Spanish in my office” is more likely to stick as a habit.
____43____
We’re strongly influenced by the behaviors of the people around us, evidence shows. Want to start running regularly You’re probably better off joining an established running club than asking a few friends who aren’t yet in the habit of jogging to get in shape with you. However, it’s important not to get too crazy — if you try to train with marathoners when you’re just hoping to work up to a 5K, it can be discouraging.
Make it fun to repeat
Research has shown you’ll persist longer and ultimately achieve more if you focus on finding ways to make goal pursuit fun. One excellent way is to try “temptation bundling”. ____44____ Research shows that temptation bundling improves follow-through; it transforms goal pursuit into a source of pleasure, not pain.
A．Find the right kind of social support.
B．Tell your friends and family about your goals.
C．What we mistake for willpower is often a natural outcome of habit.
D．You’ll benefit from being more specific about what exactly you aim to do and how often.
E．Having a bite-size objective makes it less daunting to get started and easier to see your progress.
F．Now you have established a specific goal, it’s time to think about what will cue you to follow through.
G．For example, watch your favourite show while at the gym or enjoy a beloved podcast while cooking healthy meals.
