Recently, I was surprised to learn that Louis XVI was an enthusiastic locksmith and blacksmith. Why would a king get his hands dirty doing the work of a commoner
Actually, I think I understand the pleasure he found in it. When I was a teenager, my uncle bought me the silversmithing tools. I taught myself to make silver jewelry and silverware. And soon I found myself whiling away hours pounding sheets of metal into various shapes, soldering (焊接) them together, and polishing them. I had no real goal. I was just absorbed in the process of making. Sometimes I was frustrated when a piece came out badly. But I would just go back to the workbench and keep going.
In my following professional life, I have had opportunities to see other people in this state of absorption. A web designer I worked with told me over lunch one day about how he had lain in bed the night before imagining the architecture of a new online site the company wanted. When I saw him later that day, his eyes were glued to the monitor as he carefully built the structure he had imagined.
Such absorption deeply attracts us, so it feels more like play than work. Indeed, when we are absorbed like this, it is probably a kind of play. Play, after all, is how children explore their abilities by putting them to use. As adults, we never really stop playing; we just replace dolls with websites, silverwork, or whatever creative tools we might enjoy. If we’re lucky enough to have jobs that allow us to engage in this kind of play, it’s obvious that absorption will help us perform better.
24. Why is Louis XVI mentioned at the beginning of the text
A．To tell an interesting story.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To solve a historic mystery.
D．To show an unusual hobby.
25. What does the underlined part “whiling away” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Saving.
B．Balancing.
C．Killing.
D．Cherishing.
26. How does the author present his idea in paragraph 3
A．By giving an example.
B．By making a contrast.
C．By making an explanation.
D．By citing others’ opinions.
27. What can we learn from the text
A．Dedication in the process matters.
B．Luck never fails adults.
C．Chances favor creative minds.
D．Play should be prioritized.
C
I’m brilliant, creative, generous and hardworking. Or so AI keeps telling me. Thanks to what’s known as “AI sycophancy” — the habit of our robots telling us only what we want to hear, as part of their duty to serve us — the artificial-intelligence tools I work with typically give me nothing but positive feedback.
All that praise comes with some serious risks. We humans are suffering from confirmation bias: We tend to believe the information and opinions that prove what we already think, even if we’re wrong. It feels so good to be right, and so uncomfortable to be corrected — especially if those corrections mean changing what you believe or how you behave.
That’s why I work hard to prevent AI’s pleaser tendencies with strategies like bringing together a virtual “team of competitors”, at least some of whom are guaranteed to disagree with me. Just as important, I’m using AI to control my human sensibilities to praise, so that when I do get a sycophantic response to my instructions, I doubt it.
Perhaps the hardest part about all this is that you’re deliberately making yourself feel uncomfortable. Nobody wants to hear they are wrong. But if you won’t let the AI make you uncomfortable, then it will only give you the answers you want to hear, though those answers are incorrect.
And that tolerance for discomfort matters for reasons that go way beyond the accuracy of AI. When we get used to AIs that leap to serve us and constantly tell us we’re right, we reduce our tolerance for humans who challenge us.
It doesn’t have to be that way, if we use smart tricks to push back on AI’s sycophantic tendencies. We can use AI to practice our tolerance for that discomfort, and perhaps even increase our appreciation for the humans who (unlike AIs) give us the straight talk we sometimes need.
28. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1
A．AI’s ability to offer creative ideas.
B．AI’s tendency of pleasing users.
C．AI’s skill in correcting human errors.
D．AI’s faith in protecting people.
29. Why does the author build a virtual “team of competitors
A．To control AI’s casual behaviors.
B．To train AI’s sensing abilities.
C．To boost AI’s working efficiency.
D．To avoid AI’s blind recognition.
30. Which of the following may be a solution to AI sycophancy
A．Refusing others’ fair comment.
B．Reducing the use of AI tools.
C．Ignoring uncomfortable feedback.
D．Allowing AI to challenge us.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．AI Sycophancy: A Hidden Risk to remove.
B．AI Sycophancy: A Secret of AI Popularity.
C．AI Sycophancy: A result of AI Development.
D．AI Sycophancy: A Blessing for Human Progress.
D
The “hedgehog dilemma” (刺猬困境) is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, through a story about hedgehogs, he proposed that, even with the best of intentions, humans harm each other when they attempt to have close relationships. His advice was simple: keep your distance.
How does this idea apply to real life Most people have experienced emotional harm in close relationships, such as friendships ending, lies in romance or even a family member causing pain over a lifetime. But should we let these experiences make us defensive
Modern science offers a different perspective. A PLOS Medicine study, with 308,849 participants, found that those with stronger social relationships had a 50% increased possibility of survival. Additionally, according to the National Institute on Aging, the health risks of long-term loneliness are as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, making Schopenhauer’s advice to “keep your distance” a concern.
So what makes closeness difficult If you’ve been hurt before, it might be that you’ve fallen into a defence mode. Psychotherapist Hillary Sanders points to some examples of common defence mechanisms such as going blank and regarding the present reaction as criticism. Most of these defensive reactions result from the early experience of hurt.
But in therapy, if the clients can be helped to see the defences and the original source, they can be encouraged to be understanding of their protective behaviors. Then they have a chance to change and not just repeat old behaviours. Hillary also warns that defences need to be respected and should not be removed all at once.
While Schopenhauer started the hedgehog dilemma, at the heart of this metaphor is the human desire to be close to one another. Unlike hedgehogs, humans are not naturally equipped with physical defenses. So, when we learn to lower our defences for loving people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all.
32. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1
A．To stress its importance.
B．To introduce the theme of relationship.
C．To support Schopenhauer’s advice.
D．To recommend Schopenhauer’s book.
33. What can be inferred from the PLOS Medicine study
A．People should keep their distance from others.
B．Long-term loneliness increases health risks like smoking.
C．Strong social relationships are beneficial to us.
D．The “hedgehog dilemma” is out of date.
34. Which behavior would Sanders most likely recommend in therapy
A．Quickly removing all defenses.
B．Avoiding discussing past experience.
C．Ignoring the sources of their defenses.
D．Respecting one’s own protective behaviors.
35. What message does the hedgehog metaphor ultimately convey
A．Self-protection is essential to maintaining good relationships.
B．Physical defenses matter more than emotional closeness.
C．Balancing openness and self-protection is key to true connection.
D．Self-protection stops people from forming emotional bonds.

Knowledge Has a Price Tag
Knowledge is the information that one acquires through experience or study. Understandably, those who create knowledge have invested time and effort to produce quality content. This kind of knowledge is valuable because of the effort behind it. ___36___ This was also the view of 700 people who demanded that a university application essay by Brooke Lim should be reviewed for plagiarism (抄袭). The Singaporean TikTok influencer and General Paper tutor was reported to have copied her blog essay from five books and eight articles.
We need to be fair to those who create knowledge that benefits others. This is especially true for creators who depend on selling their intellectual work to make a living. People should pay for using their knowledge. ___37___ They prevents others from reproducing, distributing, or displaying knowledge without payment or acknowledgment of the owners.
___38___ Without proper funding, reliable knowledge may suffer. Consider the internet, where anyone — expert or beginner — can express opinions on any topic. The result is a flood of free information that is often incomplete or unreliable. In contrast, articles from trusted news sources and academic journals charge fees because they provide valuable and dependable knowledge.
Another reason we should pay for knowledge is that it brings us closer to success. This kind of knowledge differs from the free information found on the internet, ChatGPT, or social media. Students researching projects may not find free online content helpful in advancing their knowledge. ___39___ It is one thing to gather information freely available online, but quite another to know how to use, analyze, and combine it in ways that advance our understanding of a topic. This explains why parents still pay high fees for top tutors expert in specific subjects.
While the idea of making knowledge free may seem noble, the case of Brooke Lim reminds us that most people are still concerned about preserving the value of knowledge and recognizing its creators. ___40___
36. ____________
37. ____________
38. ____________
39. ____________
40. ____________
A．This latter concern is no less noble.
B．Quality knowledge comes at a cost.
C．In the worst case, they may even be misinformed.
D．Creating it requires significant investment and effort.
E．Therefore, such knowledge should not be entirely free for everyone.
F．For this reason, we have laws to protect the rights of knowledge creators.
G．Thus, a film director should pay for the right to use a musician’s song in a movie.
二、完形填空
Recently, I read a magazine article stating that people tend to turn into their parents as they age. The ___41___ signs include complaining about the weather, choosing comfort over style in clothing, going to bed early, and repeating family recipes — like my mom’s Sunday roast beef, a British tradition I once laughed at. ___42___, this usually starts at 45, but I am certain it doesn’t ___43___ me, even though I’m 47.
I’ve always lived differently. My parents had a big house with a ping-pong table and ___44___ weekly tournaments （锦标赛）; I rent a small flat near a recreation center for indoor tennis. Mom loved vegetable gardening, but I only grow flowers in small pots. I ___45___ camper-van trips (Dad’s favorite) and Sunday roasts, nor do I ___46___ and suddenly wake up while watching TV or moan about rain when it delays.
My daughter disagreed when I showed her the article. “Mom, you’re just like them,” she said as I ___47___ more chocolate cake, citing calories. “Grandma always counted calories!” She also pointed out I use Mom’s vintage teacups — ones I used to call “old-fashioned”. Her words made me ___48___. Later, I noticed that a friend ___49___ her house with wallpaper like her mom’s, and my sister ___50___ bought a ping-pong table for neighbors. I somehow caught myself humming Dad’s favorite Tony Bennett songs.
It was then that I realized these similarities are actually rather ___51___. I found home’s familiarity in Dad’s cuckoo clock and Mom’s split pea soup. So, instead of resisting, I learned to ___52___ this change. Last week, I even made Mom’s roast beef — it tasted like ___53___. I guess I’ve unknowingly become a mini ___54___ of my parents, and I must admit: I don’t just like it; I’m ___55___ for it.
41. A．rare B．typical C．random D．secret
42. A．Unluckily B．Ultimately C．Theoretically D．Slowly
43. A．apply to B．contribute to C．appeal to D．occur to
44. A．watched B．held C．missed D．canceled
45. A．expect B．prefer C．organise D．dislike
46. A．doze off B．turn off C．drop off D．cut off
47. A．baked B．refused C．consumed D．shared
48. A．hesitate B．defend C．reflect D．admit
49. A．tidied B．traded C．departed D．decorated
50. A．even B．merely C．roughly D．still

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was the longest heat wave anyone could recall, and Sebastian was eager to cool off at the beach with his dad. Before leaving town, they stopped at the local library to return some books.
Outside, a crew was fixing the roof. They’d scraped off (刮) old shingles, laid down tar paper, and were now nailing new shingles. He shook his head as they pulled out of their parking space.“Hot day for that. I worked on a roofing crew for a few years. Hardest job I ever had.”
The waves were perfect for body-boarding, and a sea breeze cooled the air. But all too soon they were headed home, back to the heat. Sebastian was half listening to the radio when the DJ gave the weather report.“The record-breaking heat will continue throughout the afternoon. With the humidity, temperatures will feel like 102,” she said.“If you have to be outside, remember to drink plenty of water, avoid tiring activity, and stay in the shade.” Sebastian was glad they had air conditioners at home, so at least it would be comfortable at night.
As they passed the library again, the roofers were still there, their faces red and sweaty.
“Do you think they have enough water ” Sebastian asked.
“I'm sure they brought plenty on a day like this,” Dad said. But he didn't sound overly confident.
Sebastian had just finished two weeks of soccer camp, and even with frequent water breaks, it had been miserably hot. His sports shirt stuck to his skin so stubbornly at the end of each day that he could barely pull it off. It made him think again about taking some water to the roofers. Sebastian walked to the end of his driveway, where he could get a view of the library. The roofers were still there, and the sun was still blazing.
“I really think they need some water,” he told Dad.
A look of concern came over Dad's face.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Thank you!” they all said as they passed around the bottles and opened them.

A look of concern came over Dad's face. He nodded in agreement and quickly fetched a large cooler from the garage. Together they filled it with dozens of cold bottled water and several packs of icy lemonade. They also grabbed some wet towels to help the workers cool down. Then they drove back to the library roof and walked toward the exhausted roofers with the full cooler.
“Thank you!” they all said as they passed around the bottles and opened them. The cool water instantly relieved their burning thirst. One elderly roofer patted Sebastian’s shoulder warmly and praised his kind heart. Later, the crew finished their work smoothly. Word spread about Sebastian’s thoughtful act, and the local newspaper even reported his warm deed. The extreme heat was still unbearable, yet kindness brought refreshing coolness to everyone’s heart that day.
