B
— 3 tablespoons butter
— 2 eggs
— 2 medium carrots
— 1 small white onion
— 3 cloves garlic
— 4 cups cooked and chilled rice
I bet you didn’t read those numbers.
I’ll let you in on a secret — I didn’t either.
The ingredients above were copied and pasted from the first online search result for “fried rice recipe”. But, without any disrespect to the recipe’s owner, I can tell you it’s wrong.
The only true fried rice recipe is no recipe at all. There are no measurements, no exact instructions, no timer for how long something should sizzle in the pan. There are only smells and feelings and memories. I learned to cook fried rice on the rickety stool covered in stickers, surrounded by the scents of my Grandma’s apron. We used however much leftover rice we had and a combination of anything and everything sitting in the fridge. The kitchen was always a little messy, but that was part of the fun.
Yet I’ve always been more of a baker than a cook. I enjoy recipes — I enjoy the process of being exact and finding details, adjusting and leveling and weighing. From a young age, I found comfort in the careful baking recipes in Western cookbooks.
But I understand the beauty of spontaneity (即兴) and organic creation. There’s something special in realizing that no two recreations of my grandma’s fried rice will ever be the same, and really, isn’t that what life is Creation, without recipe
It’s funny. This may contradict everything I’ve written thus far, but the more I bake, the more I realize perhaps baking is spontaneous too. I don’t always need to weigh my flour beforehand in order to get perfect cookies. My signature food is cupcake, but I challenged myself to use a different recipe every time. You’d be surprised at how different cupcakes taste when you add an extra egg, and you’d be especially uncertain about my baking skills if you tried my cupcakes that had way too much baking soda (trial and error…).
I’m learning to love going with the flow. It’s not mutually exclusive with loving precision, and it’s such an integral part of my culture; I’d be missing out ing to terms with and embracing the unknown is scary, but I assure you: One day, I’ll master my own fried rice.
24. What does the author think of the fried rice recipe
A. It provides inaccurate details.
B. It includes too many ingredients.
C. It misses the essence of cooking.
D. It contradicts the basics of cuisine.
25. The author enjoys baking because of ______.
A. her hope to pass recipes on
B. her love of precision and detail
C. her interest in a different culture
D. her desire to honour family traditions
26. The author’s cupcake experiments made her more ______.
A. open-minded
B. organized
C. confident
D. clear-headed
27. What can we learn from this passage
A. Fond memories make a dish tasty.
B. Precision and creativity are inseparable.
C. Creativity prospers where rules end.
D. Life doesn’t always come with a recipe.
C
Historically, the worker who worked the most hours was widely seen as an organization's most valuable employee. But that is no longer true: as AI promises to transform how we work, and the four-day-workweek movement gains steam, it is time to admit once and for all that working more does not make you more productive.
In fact, many workers could dutifully keep themselves busy for an entire day without doing anything of real value, instead answering pointless emails and attending unnecessary meetings. Meanwhile, many are struggling under the unsustainable consequences of applying an industrial-era measure of productivity — namely, dividing output by hours — to our modern knowledge economy. As a result, workers are under constant pressure to relinquish their rightfully earned time to prove their commitment.
Those who finish their tasks more quickly are typically rewarded with more work to fill the hours they've saved, in what is sometimes referred to as “performance punishment”. A co-worker who works through evenings, weekends, or lunch breaks to complete the same workload, meanwhile, is often more likely to be praised or even promoted for their perceived commitment. This dynamic ultimately creates more pressure to look busy than to deliver value, which is getting in the way of actually getting work done and holding back organizational productivity while wearing down workers' well-being.
So it is time for us to be smarter about how we work. That is ultimately what the four-day-workweek movement seeks to inspire. Instead of just giving everyone an extra vacation day each week, when positioned as a performance-based motivator, the four-day workweek becomes a wake-up call to refocus our time and energy at work on the things that really matter to the business.
In today's knowledge economy and tomorrow's AI reality, the most successful individuals, organizations, and nations won't be those that work the most hours, but those that are the most effective at making their working hours count.
28. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By listing AI-driven changes in work.
B. By challenging the hours-productivity link.
C. By describing employee-centered practices.
D. By advocating a short-time working pattern.
29. What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Set aside.
B. Count on.
C. Give up.
D. Make up.
30. What weakens organizational effectiveness according to paragraph 3
A. Job burnout.
B. Performative busyness.
C. Unfair punishment.
D. Unnoticed commitment.
31. What does the author think of the four-day workweek
A. A reward for efficiency at work.
B. A wake-up call to stay competitive.
C. A push to think smarter about work.
D. A preparation for the uncertain future.
D
A digital twin is a digital representation of either a physical object, person, or process. This virtual copy can be used to simulate (模拟) behaviour to better understand exposure to different situations and conditions. The object being studied can be fitted with various sensors, each relating to different areas of functionality. The twin can be linked to the data received about different aspects of performance, such as temperature and energy output, and updated in real time as changes are made, helping people and organisations make better decisions.
Digital twins are advantageous because they allow for product designs to be tested continually, as adjustments and redesigns are made, rather than having to test every physical object. A champion sailing team used them to test thousands of boat designs without needing to physically build them. Equally, the Mercedes Benz Group AG has developed customer twins that allow customers to “test drive” a vehicle without getting behind the wheel.
Such technology is now being explored in healthcare. Digital twinning would allow tailored models to be created for patients and be adjusted based on a person’s health data, genetics, and lifestyle. By comparing individual data to population averages, doctors might use these models to spot health problems early, predict diseases, and propose the safest treatment as a way to either maintain or restore patients’ state. But collecting large amounts of personal data could pose risks of privacy leak.
Another problem surrounds the idea of healthy people seeking medical help to prevent an issue which they have not yet encountered. This is of course helpful to health. However, from a financial point of view, it challenges healthcare systems to revise what should be covered. This revision will depend on whether preventive measures are seen as daily care, treatment, or enhancement, making it difficult to know where the line should be drawn.
Despite what digital twinning presents, its benefits in various fields like manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare are undeniable. With strict management of data and thoughtful policy adjustments, this technology could bridge virtual insights with human needs, ultimately opening up a new both physical and digital world.
32. What is a digital twin capable of
A. Offering the best choice.
B. Varying with changing data.
C. Responding to coming emergencies.
D. Tackling the sensors’ misfunctions.
33. In what aspect does a digital twin stand out
A. It boosts product sales.
B. It inspires creative designs.
C. It saves time and resources.
D. It guarantees product quality.
34. What acts as a barrier to the revision for healthcare systems
A. The sorting of health state.
B. The risk of abusing medicine.
C. The cost of designing models.
D. The overusing of personal data.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Changing lives: Digital healthcare rise
B. Seeing double: A dive into digital twins
C. Shouldering challenges: Digital twins care
D. Thinking twice: A trial in digital healthcare
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In everyday communication, we exchange not only logical information but also emotions, attitudes and inner states. Since human beings are emotional creatures, our decisions, whether significant or trivial, are often driven more by emotions than by pure reason. Therefore, to express strong emotions clearly, we tend to use words like very, so and truly in daily language. ____36____
Verbal intensifiers (强化词) are special function words that enhance the meaning, especially the emotional meaning of the words they are attached to. ____37____ According to Buzarov(1998), intensification is a stable and vital feature of informal language. Words such as awfully, deeply, tremendously, and truly help speakers strengthen emotional impact and influence listeners' psychological perception.
____38____ In English, we often say “I am deeply grateful” or “He is dead tired.” Other languages also have similar words: очень in Russian, sehr in German, très in French. Some new intensifiers are even created by combining words, like fantabulous from fantastic and fabulous.
To make the most of intensifiers, we should use them with a clear purpose. Do not use them mindlessly. ____39____ Connect them with your genuine attitude and focus on conveying precise emotions. This way, appropriate use of intensifiers will make our words more powerful and sincere.
Intensifiers, like any other linguistic tool, work best in the right context. ____40____ However, overusing them without necessity will only weaken their expressive effect and make our words sound empty. Mastering them wisely helps us become more proficient and persuasive communicators.
A. Proper use is a smart linguistic choice.
B. These function words have great expressive value.
C. You'd better use them to express real ideas and emotions.
D. Using intensifiers at will influences emotional expression.
E. Intensifiers are used to simplify the meaning of other words.
F. This is why verbal intensifiers have emerged in languages worldwide.
G. They are commonly employed across languages and take on diverse forms.

The Guardian of Dawn
On a chilly early autumn morning, when Emily pushed open the apartment gate, a gust of wind carrying the sharp, clean smell of dew hit her, making her shake uncontrollably. It was the first time she had decided to go for a run before the sun was up, and the cold air was already making her doubt her choice.
On such a cold day, no one would come out for a run like me, Emily thought to herself as she ran. But the rustling sound from afar still caught Emily’s interest, and she wanted to see who her other companion was. Yet as she ran, the morning’s cold wind turned her hands numb, and her cotton coat proved useless against the biting cold.
“Well, I’d better head back early,” Emily started to turn around. Just then, a woman called out to her.
“Hey, young lady, watch your step!” Shocked, Emily realized she had stepped onto a pile leaves, making the carefully gathered pile messy.
“Oh… sorry! I didn’t mean to…”
Emily was ready for a scolding (指责), but instead, the woman holding a broom looked at her with kind eyes.
“It’s alright, but you should be careful when running alone.” Blushing, Emily nodded and gazed at the wrinkled woman whose hands looked red from the cold.
“Do you get up this early for work ” Emily’s heart ached as she looked at the woman. She had expected her to complain or express some bitterness, but instead, the woman wrapped in a scarf, broom in hand, smiled and said proudly.
“Yes. Getting the streets cleaned early means everyone can start their day with a nicer sight, don’t you think ” Seeing the energy and kindness in the woman’s eyes, a warmth and deep respect welled up inside Emily.
She looked down the street again and noticed a neat pile of leaves at each corner. It was woman’s work — the clean street was all thanks to her.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Anything I can do for her ” Emily thought to herself.

Two days later, holding a pair of gloves, Emily waited on the road.

第一节（满分15分）
Possible version:
Dear David,
How have you been lately I'm writing to share my experience at the Resilience Training Camp recently organized by my school.
Before the camp, I often felt discouraged when running into challenges. But the camp helped me see difficulties differently. Once, we did a teamwork challenge where we built a paper tower with limited materials. When our tower collapsed, I stayed calm and encouraged my teammates to try again instead of getting frustrated.
I feel more confident now and try to treat setbacks as opportunities to improve. Looking back, the experience was really rewarding.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

Possible version 1:
“Anything I can do for her ” Emily thought to herself. Gazing at her own small hands, red from the cold, she hit upon an idea: she could knit a pair of gloves for this woman. Filled with excitement, Emily turned to the Internet to find a knitting pattern and a list of what she’d need. Once she had collected the knitting needles and all the essentials, she eagerly dove into the project. “Well... the gloves should start from the wrist...” Emily read the instructions and knitted carefully, stitch by stitch, until the shape of a whole palm wrist gradually appeared. Emily wove the threads, imagining the woman’s hands inside them — then stopped. Would she like it Was the color too bright The desire to help the woman was burning hot, yet the fear of not doing enough remained. Heart racing, she tied the last knot. “No matter what, I just hope she feels the warmth...”
Two days later, holding a pair of gloves, Emily waited on the road. A familiar figure appeared in the distance, with the quiet street echoing the soft rustle of a broom. Emily took a small breath and stepped forward, her hands trembling with nervousness. “Actually... these are for you.” The words hung softly in the air and the woman gazed at the gloves in the girl’s hands with surprise. Tears welled in her eyes, shining in the morning light. She looked at Emily, her voice soft yet clear. “Thank you... This makes me even prouder of the work I do.” As the woman put on the gloves, the morning chill seemed to ease. Emily looked up — the sun had risen, casting a gentle light that softened the cold air.
Possible version 2:
“Anything I can do for her ” Emily thought to herself. “Right, I’ll buy her a pair of gloves. That way, she definitely won’t feel cold anymore!” Emily murmured to herself. That very afternoon, she walked into the shop next door to pick out a pair of gloves for the woman. Faced with the colorful array of gloves in various materials on the shelves, Emily felt dazzled. Since they were gloves meant for sweeping, they needed to be flexible and convenient. Lost in thought, Emily walked over to the section displaying fingerless gloves. She carefully felt the fabric and even tried on a few pairs, hoping to select a pair that would keep the woman warm. “This one — the red cashmere fingerless gloves,” she said to the shop assistant. Walking out of the store, her heart swelled with anticipation at the thought of the woman she deeply respected wearing them.
Two days later, holding a pair of gloves, Emily waited on the road. A familiar figure appeared in the distance, with the quiet street echoing the soft rustle of a broom. “Good morning, auntie!” Emily called. The woman looked up, her eyes resting on the red gloves. Emily took a small breath and stepped forward, her hands trembling with nervousness. “Actually... these are for you.” The words hung softly in the air and the woman gazed at the gloves in the girl’s hands with surprise. Tears welled in her eyes, shining in the morning light. She looked at Emily, her voice soft yet clear. “Thank you... This makes me even prouder of the work I do.” As the woman put on the gloves, the morning chill seemed to ease. Emily looked up — the sun had risen, casting a gentle light that softened the cold air.

M: You're right. What about Billy He loves boats, so it's either the Thames or the zoo.
W: Definitely the Thames for Billy. What about an opera at the Covent Garden for your parents

W: Doctor Spencer, thanks for joining our program today.
M: It's my pleasure.
W: So, what exactly are scientists at your company doing
M: We're developing a tool to help blind people to see again. I'm talking about people who lost their sight because of an accident.
W: So, tell us about the tool you're working on now.
M: Well, it uses a computer chip in special glasses. We start by putting the chip in a blind person's eyes. The chip is very, very small of course. And the glasses have a very small video camera inside.
W: So, how do the computer chip and glasses work together
M: Well, a blind person puts on the glasses and looks at something. For example, this pen. First, the video camera in the glasses takes a picture of the pen. Then the camera sends the picture to the computer chip in the person's eyes.
W: And then the person can see the pen.
M: Exactly, this whole process happens very quickly of course.
W: Wow! With the help of this tool, can a blind person be able to see as well as a normal one
M: No. They won't have perfect vision, but they will be able to see many things. This tool is still new, but for many of the people in our study, it's changed their lives.

W: Hi, everyone. I want to share with you what it's like to organize a school music festival. Many think it's just about the fun, but behind the scenes, it's a huge test of our skills. First, I meet with the teacher in charge to confirm the overall schedule and key tasks for the day. Then I check in with all the different teams — stage, sound, and security — to make sure everyone is on the same page. Sometimes, the audio equipment has issues or a performer is running late, so I have to solve these problems on the spot. When all the preparations are finally set, my main job begins: ensuring the entire event flow and handling any unexpected situations. The biggest challenge is to keep everything running smoothly. After the festival, I help clean up the venue, thank every volunteer, and then finally go home to rest. It's an incredibly long and tiring day, but I love creating this unforgettable memory for our entire grade.
