In Tell Me Where It Hurts, pain psychologist Rachel Zoffness achieves a rare breakthrough: revealing pain’s complexity and offering practical solutions. For decades, pain has been narrowly seen as a direct signal of physical damage. Zoffness challenges this, arguing pain is a “complex cocktail” of physical, emotional, psychological and social ingredients. She uses the “pain recipe” metaphor to make this accessible: just as ingredients combine to make brownie cakes, these elements create pain.
Zoffness illustrates this with two nail stories. A construction worker stepped on a 7-inch nail, screaming in great pain, but the nail missed his foot — his pain was real without injury. On the contrary, a man had a 4-inch nail stuck in his face, yet felt little pain. These stories prove pain is not a reliable indicator of bodily harm, breaking the traditional link between damage and discomfort.
Zoffness defines pain as a biopsychosocial phenomenon. The U.S. healthcare system focuses only on the biological aspect, missing two-thirds of the problem. She criticizes the system’s over-reliance on drugs and surgeries, noting that chronic (慢性的) pain affects millions, yet clinicians often lack training in holistic (整体的) care. Many pain sufferers feel unheard, as their non-physical struggles are ignored. But she offers hope: we can control some “pain ingredients”. Her book provides behavioral strategies-improving sleep, strengthening social ties, addressing injuries-for patients and providers. She stresses, “Never label pain as incurable.”
Moreover, she highlights that holistic care requires a shift in mindset. Clinicians must listen to patients’ full experiences, not just physical symptoms. This shift can empower patients to take an active role in their recovery, turning them from passive recipients to active participants. She also calls for better education of medical professionals on the psychological aspects of pain. Still, Zoffness ends optimistically. Pain, as a “whole-person problem”, needs a “whole-person solution”. Holistic approaches unlock countless paths to relief, offering real hope to those trapped in chronic pain. This vision could reshape pain care for generations.
24. Why does Zoffness use the “pain recipe” metaphor
A．To simplify pain’s biological causes.
B．To promote cooking-based pain relief.
C．To compare pain to cooking processes.
D．To help explain pain’s complex nature.
25. What do the two nail stories show
A．Severe injuries cause severe pain.
B．Pain can exist without bodily harm.
C．Pain always indicates physical damage.
D．Different people react to pain differently.
26. What is Zoffness’s view on the U.S. healthcare system’s handling of chronic pain
A．It’s effective for focusing on biology.
B．It’s advanced for offering behavioral treatment.
C．It’s faulty for overlooking psychosocial elements.
D．It’s successful for avoiding labeling pain as incurable.
27. What does the author imply about holistic approaches to pain
A．They may change how pain is treated.
B．They ignore the biological basis of pain.
C．They are too complex to carry out widely.
D．They have replaced the traditional methods.
C
Picture yourself halfway up a winding trail, lungs burning, legs trembling, the summit still out of sight. You want to stop but you don’t. Something quiet and steady inside keeps you moving. That inner force, psychologists call grit (毅力) — the combination of persistence (坚持) and passion that keeps us going after goals.
A new study from researchers at the China University of Geosciences explored what really develops that quality in young adults — routine workouts in the gym or unpredictable adventures in the wild. Over 1,200 university students took part in a 16–18-week course in either traditional physical education or outdoor education. Their grit levels were measured before and after the courses from two aspects: persistence of effort and consistency of interest. The answer, it turns out, lies somewhere between sweat and scenery.
Both groups improved, but the difference was striking. Outdoor education produced bigger gains across every measure of grit, especially persistence. Students who spent a term facing real-world challenges became mentally stronger. That sense of mastery — “I can handle this” — builds the same kind of grit linked to lower anxiety, better dealing with stress, and greater life satisfaction. In contrast, traditional PE improved students’ persistence but actually reduced their interest consistency — their ability to stay engaged with long-term goals. Repetitive routines, limited autonomy, and predictable settings may weaken curiosity over time. Outdoor education, however, thrives on uncertainty.
Newness doesn’t just keep us entertained; it keeps us engaged. From the perspective of Self-Determination Theory, outdoor programs meet the three psychological needs that fuel motivation: autonomy (you choose how to face challenges), competence (you see progress), and relatedness (you rely on teammates). Together, they create a powerful recipe for inner motivation.
This study shows that the environment we learn in shapes not just our bodies but our minds’ ability to persist.In a world of digital distraction (分心) and instant satisfaction, outdoor education reminds us that grit grows through hardship. For anyone seeking for long-term change, the message is simple: step outside.
28. Which one is most beneficial to the development of grit
A．Running on the same school track.
B．Swimming in a sports center pool.
C．Climbing mountains in a natural park.
D．Playing basketball in an indoor stadium.
29. What does the underlined word “thrives” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Focuses.
B．Grows.
C．Depends.
D．Survives.
30. Why is Self-Determination Theory mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To explain outdoor programs’ motivational effect.
B．To analyze the physical benefits of newness in life.
C．To introduce the popularity of outdoor education.
D．To define the key driving factors of motivation.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A．Grit contributes to the long-term change.
B．Outdoor challenges build a tougher mind.
C．Natural scenery improves mental health.
D．Routine workouts weaken inner motivation.

In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable ”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity
“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places — and even species — that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
32. What do we know about the records of species collected now
A．They are becoming outdated.
B．They are mostly in electronic form.
C．They are limited in number.
D．They are used for public exhibition.
33. What does Daru’s study focus on
A．Threatened species.
B．Physical specimens.
C．Observational data.
D．Mobile applications.
34. What has led to the biases according to the study
A．Mistakes in data analysis.
B．Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C．Improper way of sampling.
D．Unreliable data collection devices.
35. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps
A．Review data from certain areas.
B．Hire experts to check the records.
C．Confirm the identity of the users.
D．Give guidance to citizen scientists.
E（七选五）
I caught sight of myself in a cafe window the other day, bent over my phone, with my head down and shoulders tense near my ears. ____36____ And I began to wonder how good it could feel to shake it off.
Small, everyday habits can lead to bad posture (体态). Whether we are using our phones on the sofa or working at the kitchen table, we may bend over or sit in one place for too long without noticing it. But over time, little things can become habits. And those little habits ____37____ Poor posture does more than cause muscle aches. It can also affect your breathing, mood, and energy levels. When we bend forward, our chest becomes less open, which limits oxygen intake and often leads to shallow breathing. ____38____
That is why good posture matters. It benefits us physically, mentally, and emotionally. It can help reduce pain, improve breathing, and enhance digestion, while also boosting energy levels and helping us sleep better. But there’s a gap between knowing posture is good and actually making it a habit. ____39____ Essentially, good posture means keeping your body in the right position whether you are standing, walking, or sitting. This means keeping your head, shoulders, and hips in line, relaxing your shoulders, engaging your core, and avoiding unnecessary tension.
____40____ Because little changes add up, experts recommend a few simple but effective ways to improve it. When sitting at your desk, keep your feet flat on the floor, support your lower back, and relax your shoulders. When using your phone, bring the screen up to eye level instead of bending your neck down.
A．So what does good posture actually look like
B．Posture is a habit that affects almost everything you do.
C．Why do people usually need to maintain good posture
D．It is often caused by the way we sit, stand, and use our phones.
E．Over time, this can make you feel tired, anxious or emotionally low.
F．That’s when I realized how easily bad posture slips into our daily life.
G．They can have a lasting impact on our bodies in ways we might not realize.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Mom’s birthday, and a cold, snowy afternoon. The snow had been falling steadily outside the art room of my school, blanketing the playground in white. I’d stayed late to finish a drawing for her, determined to make it perfect. I’d worked for hours, carefully sketching every detail — the playful expression of our puppy Daisy, the delicate petals (花瓣) of Mom’s favorite flowers, and the happy, smiling faces of our family. But I was running out of time. I had to hurry to catch the last bus home. If I missed it, I would have to walk 40 minutes through the bitter cold and falling snow.
However, just as I turned the corner, my foot slipped on the icy sidewalk. I fell hard, and my schoolbag flew open. Books and pens fell all over. To make matters worse, the drawing slipped out and landed in the slush (雪泥) near the roadside.
I struggled to my feet and rushed to grab the drawing. But when I picked it up, my heart sank. The colors I’d carefully chosen had bled (渗开) into each other. I could hardly recognize the image anymore — our puppy Daisy, Mom’s favorite flowers, and our smiling faces — it was all ruined.
I tried to dry the paper with my coat, but it only made things worse. The wet edges of the paper tore, and I could feel hot tears welling up in my eyes.
In my distress (悲伤), I hadn’t noticed an old man a few feet away who witnessed it all. He was the street cleaner who worked this block every day, sweeping the sidewalk with his broom. I’d seen him many times before, always wearing his woolen hat, but we had never exchanged words. He was always quiet, just sweeping and smiling at passersby.
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。
He walked over to me slowly and patted me on the shoulder.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, I got home with the new drawing in my hands.

He walked over to me slowly and patted me on the shoulder. He told me not to cry and said he could feel how much I loved my mom. Then he took out a blank drawing paper and a box of colored pens from his tool bag. He told me I could redraw the picture right there and he would wait for me. Encouraged by his kindness, I sat on a clean stone and drew carefully again, recreating every warm detail of the former painting. Before long, a new perfect drawing was finished.
Finally, I got home with the new drawing in my hands. I handed the painting to Mom and told her the whole story of the old drawing and the warm street cleaner. Mom held the picture tightly and tears rolled down her cheeks. She said it was the most precious birthday gift she had ever received, not only because of the lovely drawing, but also for the warmth and kindness hidden behind it.
