I’m Kay. I was the kind of child who couldn’t just accept that something worked. I would take apart everyday stuff, not to destroy it, but to understand why it worked the way it did. This desire to question, reimagine, and improve became the foundation of everything I’ve done since.
That same curiosity followed me into academia. During my PhD journey, I desired to strengthen medication adherence (遵循) among people living with serious infectious diseases (传染病) in developing countries. However, the challenge was contextual, cultural, psychological, and systemic. Contrary to the traditional approach of trying to fix the patient to improve adherence, I turned my attention to the communications that the patients were having with their healthcare providers.
That idea led me to motivational interviewing (MI), a person-centred technique based on open dialogue, understanding, and cooperation to drive behavioral change. On the surface, it seemed promising. But I quickly realized it wasn’t a plug-and-play solution. As I was working in a developing country with entirely different cultural dynamics, it became clear that ideas like personal choices and open emotional expression didn’t quite translate in the same way. Thus, I had to adapt the approach to fit the context and employ the adapted version to train doctors.
Essentially, I spent time understanding the local values, how people communicate, what trust looks like, and how authority was understood. I reworked the method — not to water it down, but to make it fit. The results were powerful. Patients became more involved, more confident, and surprisingly, the trained doctors started employing the approach in other clinical contexts such as patients with diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure.
This was a defining moment. It showed me that true innovation isn’t just about invention — it’s about translation, adaptation, and understanding. It’s about meeting people where they are and helping them get to where they need to be.
24. What can we learn about Kay from the first paragraph
A．She was fond of working.
B．She enjoyed finding problems.
C．She had an inquiring mind.
D．She longed to be a doctor.
25. Why does the author mention “a plug-and-play solution” in Paragraph 3
A．To show the method was easy to use.
B．To suggest cultural differences mattered.
C．To stress the need for doctor training.
D．To explain why she adapted the method.
26. What was Kay’s contribution to MI
A．She reinvented its core.
B．She promoted its broader uses.
C．She simplified its rules.
D．She proved MI failed in some cultures.
27. What does Kay’s experience show
A．One size doesn’t fit all.
B．Actions speak louder than words.
C．Practice makes perfect.
D．Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Anuar Abdullah has always had a special feeling for the ocean. In the 1980s, he settled in Perhentian as a diving instructor and fell in love with corals. Twice daily, he went out to sea, staying underwater for as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures (纹理) of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names. He studied the living conditions—the water temperature, the sunshine, the diversity(多样性) of ocean life—and saw how just one of those factors could bring about large-scale death.
Abdullah spent two decades experimenting with how to grow coral reefs in the ocean. He didn’t have a degree in marine (海洋的) biology or a research lab, but he had his own ways. Almost all the materials he used to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn’t use steel pipes or bricks—which he couldn’t afford—instead, he gathered rocks from the seafloor, piling them so they wouldn’t be knocked down by tidal waves. While others might depend on a lab to break live coral into pieces that were in turn used for growing, he searched for broken pieces of coral in existing reefs and fixed them to the rocks using animal-friendly glue. When he needed other materials, he started by searching the beach for waste.
Every day, the locals saw him on his knees examining corals in the ocean. Sometimes, he picked up a rock to which he had fixed a piece of coral several weeks earlier, and said very quietly, “My little acropora (鹿角大珊瑚), how are you doing today ” The locals whispered about how he’d spent days in the water speaking to corals as if they were people. “Everyone thought I was stupid,” said Abdullah, “But I knew I was doing the most important thing in the world.”
Actually, Abdullah was right. Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life. Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventually leaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs.
28. Abdullah went out to sea twice daily to ________.
A．study coral reefs
B．have diving training
C．check his oxygen supply
D．share his feelings for the sea
29. Abdullah’s way of growing corals is________.
A．eco-friendly and practical
B．traditional and indirect
C．high-tech and affordable
D．scientific and expensive
30. From the passage we know that Abdullah________.
A．searched for waste to make a living
B．received a degree in marine biology
C．talked to everyone about coral reefs
D．became an expert on coral protection
31. What can we learn from the story
A．Anyone with a dream is amazing.
B．Achievement provides true pleasure.
C．An individual can make a difference.
D．The strong man is strongest when alone.

“Forest Bathing,” or Shinrin-yoku, is a therapy practice that originated in Japan during the 1980s as a response to tech burnout. It involves mindfully spending time in a forest environment, using all five senses to connect deeply with nature. Unlike hiking or jogging, which are often exercise-focused with a destination in mind, Forest Bathing is a slow, meditative practice centered on being present.
A recent rigorous clinical trial published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology provides compelling evidence for its benefits. The study monitored participants over several months and found that those who practiced Forest Bathing for just two hours a week showed a significant 12% decrease in cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. Furthermore, their immune systems demonstrated a marked increase in the activity of Natural Killer (NK) cells, which play a vital role in fighting tumors and infections.
Scientists owe these physiological changes to phytoncides (芬多精), which are aromatic essential oils released by trees, particularly cypress and pine. When we breathe in these natural compounds, our bodies respond by relaxing the nervous system and boosting immune function. The study concluded that incorporating regular Forest Bathing into one’s routine could be as essential for long-term health and disease prevention as maintaining a balanced diet or regular physical exercise. This research validates what many have intuitively felt: nature has a profound healing power.
32. What is the main difference between Forest Bathing and hiking
A．Hiking is more tiring.
B．Hiking focuses on the journey, not the destination.
C．Forest Bathing focuses on sensory experience, not exercise.
D．Forest Bathing requires special equipment.
33. What effect do phytoncides have on humans
A．They increase heart rate.
B．They boost the immune system.
C．They cause allergic reactions.
D．They reduce oxygen intake.
34. What can we learn from the study
A．Forest Bathing is only for stressed people.
B．Exercise is less important than being in nature.
C．Nature has measurable physical and mental health benefits.
D．Japan has the lowest stress levels in the world.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A．To advertise a trip to Japan.
B．To explain a medical treatment.
C．To promote a healthy lifestyle habit.
D．To compare different types of exercise.

五、书面表达（读后续写）
67. 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。
At a noisy train station, a young couple boarded a train with their one-year-old son. The child, already battling a fever at home, was further unsettled by the motion of the train and the unfamiliar environment. His discomfort made him cry loudly. The noise filled the carriage (客车厢), breaking the quietness that most travelers had found in their books or the peaceful landscape passing by the windows.
Among the passengers was a businessman, seated next to the family, who had been looking forward to a peaceful rest to make up for a sleepless night. The child’s continuous crying disrupted (打乱) his plans, and his annoyance became obvious.
The young mother, with an apologetic smile, tried to rock her son back to calm, softly whispering endearments into his tiny ear. The father, with a helpless look at the surrounding passengers, turned to the visibly annoyed man. “We apologize for the disturbance,” he said. “Our boy has fallen ill, and the motion of the train is not helping matters.”
Upon hearing this, the businessman’s annoyance softened. He had a nephew (外甥) around the same age and understood the challenges of traveling with a sick child. His anger died away, replaced by a wave of understanding. “Don’t worry,” he replied, his voice gentle, “I can try to help.”
He reached into his bag and took out a small wooden rattle (拨浪鼓), a gift for his own nephew. Then he offered a gentle hand to the little boy. He tried to make soft sounds with the wooden rattle, together with making funny faces, trying to distract (使分心) the child from his discomfort. To everyone’s surprise, the little boy’s tears began to stop as the rattle’s gentle sound caught his attention. Soon, he was attracted by the toy. The mother’s relief was evident as she offered a silent, heartfelt “thank you” to the man.
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。
Then the atmosphere in the carriage began to change.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the shared care of the passengers, the little boy eventually went into a peaceful sleep.

The parents felt so warm and grateful for everyone’s kindness. The businessman chatted with them and shared some useful tips to look after sick kids during trips. The noisy carriage was full of warmth and kindness instead of impatience.
With the shared care of the passengers, the little boy eventually went into a peaceful sleep. The mother covered him with her coat gently and bowed to all people around. The businessman told them not to feel embarrassed and said it was everyone’s duty to give a hand to people in trouble.
