A Lesson From Punch the Monkey
Perhaps you’ve heard about Punch, a little monkey born in a Japanese zoo whose mother rejected him shortly after birth. The zookeepers fed Punch carefully, but the little guy wasn’t gaining weight, and he remained alone and fearful. ____1____ (comfort) him, the zoo provided a towel and stuffed animals, among which Punch favored an orangutan plush toy. He hugged it constantly and began carrying it with him everywhere. The toy made him ____2____ (fearful) and, eventually, Punch began to thrive and make friends with other monkeys.
The story of Punch is the story of humans, too. In order to thrive, we need both physical stimulation and mental stimulation. Modern psychologists call this “daily life enrichment”, but we ____3____ (know) the importance of “sensory” stimulation in infants for a long time. There have been numerous studies showing that children, who ____4____ (hug) regularly by their mothers and given toys to play with develop faster and grow up healthier.
What scientists are now discovering is that this need doesn’t disappear when we grow up. We need sensory stimulation and life enrichment ____5____ every age.
Young people get plenty of “daily life enrichment” at school — new ideas, social interactions, and physical activities, ____6____ is why you are all so healthy and sharp. As people get older, however, life can become more routine. They ____7____ exercise less, read less, and see fewer friends. In other words, Jack can become a very dull boy.
To avoid this “dull boy” syndrome, it’s a good idea to build good habits early like painting, photography, or playing a musical instrument. Reading regularly stimulates your brain and keeps ____8____ active. Exercise is another essential piece of the puzzle — it’s good for your body and your mind. I discovered years ago while ____9____ (run) that it’s nearly impossible to feel sad when you’re sweating.
But perhaps the most important part of life enrichment is relationships. After all, we’re social creatures. We all need to feel loved and accepted by the people around us. Close friends and family keep us grounded, connected, and human.
In the end, daily life enrichment is about thriving, not just existing. It takes effort, yes. But ____10____ we don’t try to “enrich” our lives, we risk becoming like little Punch without his plush toy: alone, fearful, and struggling to grow.

In the digital age, where information floods every corner of our lives, the role of journalists has become more crucial than ever. As the gatekeepers of information, they are responsible for sorting through the vast sea of data and ____11____ the public with accurate and reliable news.
In the past, journalists relied mainly on traditional ____12____ such as interviews, official documents, and on-site investigations. These methods provided a relatively stable and trustworthy foundation for news reporting. However, the digital revolution has changed the game. Today, a vast amount of information online is ____13____ to them. Social media platforms, for instance, have become ____14____ channels for news collecting. But the information on these platforms is often unchecked, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

One of the challenges journalists face is the issue of instant news. In the digital age, the pressure to break news first is intense. This has led to a situation where false information can ____16____ quickly. Some people may take advantage of the flaws in information checking systems to ____17____ certain goals, which can mislead the public. Journalists must follow high ethical standards and report the news ____18____. They should present different perspectives on an issue to give the audience a comprehensive understanding.
Another aspect is the need to make news more accessible to the public. With the increasing competition in the media industry, journalists need to use multimedia elements to present news in a more interesting and engaging way. However, journalists should not ____19____ the quality of the news. They still need to focus on providing in-depth and accurate reports instead of ____20____ superficial attention-grabbing strategies.

Globalization Is Causing the Death of Minority Languages
As the world becomes more connected, language diversity is declining at an alarming rate. Forty percent of the world’s 7,000 languages in use are at risk of ____21____, according to estimates by the Endangered Languages Project. That trend is ____22____ linked to economic globalization, as suggested by a new report published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
“The dominating effect of a single socioeconomic factor, GDP per capita (人均), on speaker growth rate suggests that economic growth and globalization are ____23____ drivers of recent language speaker declines (mainly since the 1970s onwards), through political and educational developments,” the researchers conclude in their report.
Actually, the impact of global economies on language ____24____ has been an argument that goes all the way back to the 1970s, when Herbert Schiller proposed the hotly debated theory of “cultural imperialism (扩张主义)”, which suggested ____25____ powerful nations hold huge cultural dominance over the weaker countries they influence.
However, such ____26____ has never been fully quantified until now, according to researchers. In the study, the researchers first established a set of ____27____ languages, based on several factors: small speaker population sizes, rapid declines in speaker numbers, and a small geographic ____28____. After dealing with the numbers by using data selected from the Ethnologue, an authoritative source for basic information about the world’s languages, the researchers concluded that 25 percent of the world’s languages are under immediate ____29____ of disappearing forever.
Threatened languages were numerous in highly economically developed regions, like northwestern North America, northern Europe, and eastern Asia. ____30____ they explored relationships between the danger of extinction and multiple environmental factors, including rainfall and temperature, GDP per capita was the factor most tightly correlating with at-risk languages.
Of course, there are factors ____31____ GDP that play a role in the disappearance of minority languages. According to UNESCO, languages are also ____32____ with external forces such as military, religious, cultural or educational control, or by local forces such as a community’s negative attitude towards its own language. ____33____, even the internet has been linked to the extinction of little-spoken tongues by creating a digital divide that locks out some groups and give advantages to others (and their languages).

四、阅读理解
Section A
Passage 1
New adventures in Zootopia
Disney’s Zootopia 2 has big shoes to fill after the original animated film won the 2017 Oscar for Best Animated Feature. With an anticipated 125million — plus North American box office beginning with previews Wednesday, the sequel (续作) has successfully earned $341.2M domestically and $1 billion globally.
The story starts with unlikely friends Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde who are now officially police partners looking for a new case to solve after their success in the first film of bringing Vice Mayor Bellwether to justice, who is responsible for injecting predators (食肉动物) with a kind of serum (血清) that made them go savage (野蛮).
A twisty mystery soon appears along with Gary De’Snake, whose presence in Zootopia opens the history books to the metropolis’ past. The Lynxley family’s debut (首次亮相) as well as Hopps and Wilde’s adventure to Marsh Market-full of reptiles (爬行动物)-demonstrate the world-building potential and natural expansion of the animated story.
The film centers on its central relationship between fox and bunny. Both Hopps and Wilde undergo personal growth by confronting their own biases, which invites the audience to do the same--to recognize and unlearn their own preconceptions.
The movie’s famous line, “Anyone can be anything,” is not just a catchy phrase or empty slogan — it’s an invitation to imagine a world built on empathy and opportunity. It urges especially young people to dream big and reject limitations imposed by others and it leaves a lasting message that only when we learn to respect and empower each other can we build a more just and vibrant society.
34. The phrase “has big shoes to fill” (para1) means that Zootopia 2 ________.
A．requires a larger budget than the first film
B．have a previous standard difficult to match or surpass
C．needs to introduce many new characters to expand the story
D．must last a longer time with more complex plots
35. At the end of Zootopia 1, Hopps and Wilde________.
A．uncovered the hidden mystery of reptile residents.
B．arrested the criminal behind the mad predators incident.
C．discovered the historical secrets of Zootopia.
D．helped the snakes eventually integrate into Zootopia.
36. The phrase “Anyone can be anything” (para5) is mentioned________.
A．as an unrealistic slogan built on an imaginary world
B．as a sharp contrast with the darker themes in society
C．as a call for mutual understanding and breaking limits
D．as a reflection of the marketing success of the series
37. Which of the following movie doesn’t share a common theme with Zootopia 1
A．Inside Out: Sadness isn’t the enemy as we thought.
B．Kung Fu Panda: A clumsy panda becomes the Master of Kung Fu
C．Ratatouille: A small rat can be the top chef
D．Spirited Away: A girl learns independence and growth in adversity
Passage 2
The Role of Technology in the Evolution of Communication
For as long as humans have been on this planet, we have invented various forms of communication — from smoke signals and messenger pigeons to telephones and email — these forms have constantly changed the way we interact with each other.
◎The Telephone
In 1849, the telephone was invented and within 50 years it was an essential item for homes and offices, but wired connections affected the flexibility and privacy of the device. Then, came the mobile phone. In 1973, Motorola created a mobile phone which kick-started a chain of developments that transformed the communication landscape forever.
Early smartphones were primarily aimed at the enterprise market, bridging the gap between telephones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), but they were bulky and had short battery life. By 1996, Nokia launched phones with QWERTY keyboards. By 2010, the majority of Android phones were touchscreen-only.
In 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone to the world, and Apple paved the way for the aesthetic design of modern smartphones. Before the iPhone emerged, “flip phones” and phones with split keyboards and screens were the norm. A year later, a central application store with an initial 500 downloadable “apps” was launched. Currently, there are over 2 million apps available in the Apple App Store.
◎The Internet
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on communication, including the rise of near-instant communication by e-mail, instant messaging, two-way interactive video calls, discussion forums, blogs, and social networking.
The Internet has made communication easier and faster, allowing us to stay in touch with others regardless of time and location. It has accelerated the pace of business and expanded possibilities within the enterprise space. It has allowed people to find their voices and self-expression through social media. The Internet has connected and divided us like nothing before.
◎E-mail
As a byproduct of the World Wide Web, e-mail was introduced to the world in 1991, though it had been in use for many years before that. It has dramatically changed our lives, for better or worse depending on personal perspective. The first users of such messaging platforms were the education system and the military, who used e-mail to exchange information. In 2018, global email users exceeded 3.8 billion, a number that exceeds half of the world’s population. By 2022, it’s expected that we will be sending 333 billion personal and business emails each day.
◎5G
5G, the 5th-generation mobile network, features much faster data upload and download speeds, wider coverage, and more stable connections. These advantages bring about significant improvements in communication. Instantaneous communication becomes a reality, and those patchy, annoying video calls have become a thing of the past.
5G’s transmission speed is 100 to 1,000 times the average transmission speed of 4G currently used by smartphones. The Consumer Technology Association points out that at such speeds, a two-hour movie can be downloaded in just 3.6 seconds, compared to 6 minutes on 4G and 26 hours on 3G. 5G’s impact will extend far beyond smartphones, enabling millions of devices to connect simultaneously.
Looking ahead, there is already buzz about 6G. Although it is still in basic research and around 15 to 20 years away, it is worth noting from an innovation perspective. 6G will build the framework of the interconnected world we aspire to, where communication speed and consistency will reach unprecedented levels
38. According to the passage, the first iPhone ________.
A．was designed primarily for the enterprise market
B．was released together with an application store
C．set a new standard for smartphone design
D．replaced flip phones as the mainstream product immediately
39. Which of the following statements about email is TRUE
A．It was first made available to the public in 1991.
B．It was initially developed for commercial purposes.
C．It has been used by over half of the global population.
D．Its daily usage is expected to decline by 2022.
40. Based on the passage, which of the following is 6G expected to achieve rather than 5G
A．Enabling millions of devices to connect at the same time.
B．Downloading a full-length movie in a matter of seconds.
C．Establishing the foundation for a fully connected world.
D．Providing more stable connections than previous generations.
Section B（六选四）
Why some people keep making the same bad decisions
People constantly take in information from their surroundings, including visual details and background sounds. Over time, the brain learns to connect these cues with what usually happens next. For example, a familiar sign, sound, or setting can signal whether a choice is likely to lead to a reward or a negative outcome. This process is known as associative learning, which simply means learning through repeated connections between cues and results. In everyday life, this kind of learning helps people make faster and often better decisions.
____41____ For people with compulsive disorders, addictions, or anxiety, these learned associations can become overly powerful. Instead of serving as helpful guides, cues may start to dominate decision making. Individuals may feel pulled toward certain sights or sounds or strongly driven to avoid them, even when doing so leads to poor outcomes.
To better understand how this happens, Giuseppe di Pellegrino of the University of Bologna led a study focused on how people learn from cues and how this learning can sometimes go wrong. The research examined maladaptive decision making, which refers to choices that continue to cause harm or disadvantage despite repeated negative consequences. As described in their JNeurosci paper, the researchers found that people differ widely in how much they rely on environmental cues when making decisions. ____42____
The study also revealed an important problem for those who are highly cue driven. ____43____ They may have difficulty updating their beliefs about what those cues mean and unlearning old associations that no longer apply. In practical terms, this means the brain keeps responding as if nothing has changed, even when the situation clearly has.
As a result, disadvantageous decision making can persist over time. ____44____
A．This learning can sometimes lead people off the beaten track.
B．Some individuals depend heavily on surrounding visuals and sounds to guide their choices, while others rely on them far less.
C．However, this system does not work the same way for everyone.
D．They fail to sense the changes in themselves.
E．When familiar cues start to signal riskier or less favorable outcomes, these individuals often struggle to adjust.
F．Instead of adapting to new information, people may repeat the same risky or harmful choices again and again.
