I have struggled with speaking English since learning it as a second language at 27. Early in my teaching career, students complained about my accent, and my department chair once summed up my performance: Dr. Sun was a good teacher, but he had an accent. Even my children urged me to try harder. “Anything can be done,” they insisted. The unspoken accusation was clear: If I still sounded foreign, I wasn’t trying hard enough.
What neither of them knew was that biology had already cast the die.
There is a term for the firm influence of one’s mother tongue: imprinting, an early, mostly unchangeable form of learning. The idea first entered science through the brilliance of Konrad Lorenz, who famously persuaded newly hatched goslings to follow him as if he were their mother. At the time, imprinting was mostly treated as an animal curiosity. Its deeper relevance to humans took longer to sink in.
Decades of research since then have reinforced the point. Human brains pass through a critical period for language acquisition. During childhood, neural (神经的) circuits are finely tuned to absorb sounds and accents. Later, those circuits become less flexible, not because adults are lazy, but because gene expression changes with age. This is why children can pick up a new language without an accent, while adults, no matter how dedicated, cannot.
I stopped fighting this biological limit and focused on areas imprinting does not control: word choice, sentence structure and rhythm. Something unexpected happened – my English writing improved greatly, and I even began writing books in English.
Biology does not write our future, but it does draw boundaries. That is why we abandon many childhood dreams: basketball for being too short, soccer for starting too late. Ignoring them, we trip up. Understanding them, we can work around them. The best kind of confidence is not the belief that you can do anything. It is the wisdom to know what you cannot do, and the discipline to stop wasting precious time trying to prove otherwise.
24. What did the author’s children accuse him of
A. Showing off his pronunciation. B. Not trying hard to drop his accent.
C. Speaking with an accent in class. D. Refusing to learn standard English.
25. What does the underlined phrase “cast the die” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Delayed the process. B. Unlocked the potential.
C. Improved the situation. D. Determined the outcome.
26. What makes it hard for adults to learn a foreign language without an accent
A. Mental laziness. B. Learning habits. C. Biological changes. D. Genetic patterns.
27. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Play to your strengths. B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Early bird catches the worm.
C
Late every summer, fat polar bears gather outside Kaktovik, the only settlement in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, to feast on whale bodies left behind by hunters. It is an attraction that once brought 1,000 or more tourists each day to the town. In 2021, however, the government stopped the polar bear tourism due to concerns about how tourists were affecting bear behavior and overrunning the tiny town with about 250 people.
Now, Kaktovik leaders are hoping to revive it, saying it could be worth millions to the local economy and give residents another source of income. “We definitely see the benefit for tourism,” said Charles Lampe, president of the Kaktovik Inupiat Corp, which owns 373 square kilometers of the reserve. “But it can’t be run like it was before.”
As far back as the early 1980s, anyone in Kaktovik with a boat and knowledge of the waters could take tourists out to watch the bears. When polar bears were declared a threatened species in 2008, tourism in Kaktovik grew unexpectedly fast, since many people wanted to see the creatures before they would die out by the end of the century.
As tourists flooded in, the government required tour operators to apply for permits which drove the locals out of the industry. Before long, large out-of-town operators moved in and even more tourists were coming to Kaktovik during the six-week viewing season. The town’s hotels and restaurants also became unprofitable when large operators began flying tourists in from Fairbanks or Anchorage for day trips.
Kaktovik leaders are now in talks with the government to address the concerns and re-start the industry, perhaps as early as 2027. The government said in a statement that it’s working with Kaktovik “to ensure that any future opportunities are managed in a way that will properly deal with resource protection, visitor’s safety and residents’ concerns.”
28. What most probably led to the end of the polar bear tourism in 2021
A. Lack of skilled guides. B. Bear attacks.
C. Extinction of polar bears. D. Overtourism.
29. What can we say about the polar bear tours in Kaktovik in the early 1980s
A. They were managed by the government. B. They were run by out-of-town operators.
C. They were mainly organized by individuals. D. They were usually led by well-trained guides.
30. Which of the following can best describe the official permits
A. They were very helpful for local economy.
B. They benefited the large companies greatly.
C. They required large operators to help the locals.
D. They did not allow locals to work in the industry.
31. What is the government’s attitude to Kaktovik leaders’ proposal
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear.
D
Scientists have long identified four elements about apps or social media that hold children’s attention for as long as possible. Understanding them may help parents know how to avoid potential traps for their kids.
One of the elements is solitude. Studies have found that children who regularly use screens alone in their bedrooms have a higher risk of developing what psychologists call problematic usage. That is, they continue to use an app or play a game even when it damages their health. For example, the app may affect their sleep or friendships, but they still could not stop.
Another element is bottomlessness. Videos keep appearing on TikTok and YouTube. Photos, comments and likes keep popping up on Instagram. Apps have seemingly endless materials for kids to see, and they all show or play automatically. There’s no natural stopping point. So kids never feel finished or satisfied. That feeling grows even stronger with the third ingredient (成分) added into the mix: speed.
For social media, the speed at which kids can find “new” content has jumped with several technological advancements, including the invention of higher-speed internet and easy scroll (翻屏). So the faster kids can scroll and watch, the harder it is for them to pull away from an app. The speed can create a sense that they merge (合体) with the screen. In other words, they don’t know where they begin and the machine ends. The speed just pulls them into this flow.
The final ingredient is teasing. Here’s how teasing typically works: The app never gives kids what they are really looking for. It gives just enough to keep them attracted. This teasing gives kids the feeling that they’re going to get what they’re seeking soon. So they’ll be there all day trying to get that next big thing. This is perhaps the most important feature of the app.
With all these four elements, nearly everyone, not just the kids, will get addicted to the app or social media.
32. Which phenomenon can be described as solitude
A. Playing alone. B. Offering endless rewards.
C. Responding quickly. D. Keeping users unsatisfied.
33. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Children. B. Videos. C. Programs. D. Apps.
34. What is probably the most addictive element about an app
A. Solitude. B. Teasing. C. Speed. D. Bottomlessness.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text
A. To review a product. B. To warn teenagers.
C. To analyze the harm. D. To keep parents informed.

Li Na, a Chinese exchange student in the UK, felt a bit nervous when Mr. Smith asked each student to bring something that matters to them and share it with the class on Thursday. She sat in her seat quietly, thinking hard about what to bring. Suddenly, she remembered that the Lantern Festival happened to fall on next Friday. Her eyes lit up with excitement.
On Thursday, the classroom was filled with joy and laughter as students shared their beloved snacks and toys. When Li Na’s turn came, she rose, holding a wooden box. She opened it gently and took out a folded piece of red paper. With a few skillful folds and pulls, the paper magically turned into a beautiful lantern. She placed a candle inside and lit it carefully.
“What is it ” asked Emma, her deskmate. “It is amazing!”
Holding up the lantern, Li Na smiled and introduced the Lantern Festival — its traditions of hanging lanterns, guessing riddles (谜语), and eating sweet sticky rice balls called yuanxiao. “Red lanterns symbolize hope and reunion in Chinese culture,” she explained. “And this year, the festival happens to be on next Friday.”
Seeing how interested the students were, Mr. Smith walked over with a smile and said to Li Na, “Would you like to host a Lantern Festival party for the whole class next Friday night I’m sure it will be a wonderful way to connect cultures.”
“I’d love to!” Li Na replied without hesitation.
Applause erupted in the classroom. But as she sat down, a little worry set in — how could she make the party really fun and unforgettable

Hello everyone,
I firmly believe that learning English is still necessary, even with AI tools around.
First, huge amounts of information — news, tech, business information — are in English, which won’t change in the near future. Second, AI tools miss jokes, cultural meanings or subtle feelings. Have you tried translating a poem with an AI tool It fails. Third, real communication is about emotions. No machine can truly replace laughing with a friend or comforting someone in their own language.
So let’s use AI as a tool, not a replacement. Keep learning English. It’s worth it.
Thanks for your listening!
【答案】One possible version:
Li Na quickly realized the key was to get everyone involved in the preparation. So she announced to the whole class that volunteers were needed. To her delight, all the students raised their hands eagerly, their faces shining with enthusiasm. Greatly relieved, Li Na divided the students into two groups. One was led by her to make lanterns and riddles, and the other was led by Emma to prepare the ingredients and tools for making yuanxiao. Everyone set to work immediately, and by Friday afternoon, everything was ready.
The party took place as scheduled in the classroom. Varied red lanterns were used to decorate the room, creating a festive atmosphere. Guided by Li Na, the students made yuanxiao together. Soon, steaming bowls of yuanxiao were served, and everyone loved their handmade treats. The highlight was the riddle-guessing activity, which filled the classroom with laughter and cheers. Bathed in warm lantern light, the students shared not just food and fun, but a deep sense of connection that made the night truly unforgettable.
