After we had twins and became a family of five, my husband and I decided to move from London back to Yorkshire, to be closer to my parents. Around the same time, they sold their house and we decided to build them a bungalow (平房) in our garden. We moved them in with us until the build was complete.
Packing up my parents’ house felt like a massive goodbye — that bedroom, those memories, the feeling of safety and shelter I always felt there. That evening, I sat in the living room watching TV, temporarily free of my own responsibilities, lost in nostalgia (留恋). Even though I’m a grown woman in my 40s with my own family, it felt scary not to have “home” to go back to.
On our final morning in the house, we took a break from the mindbending, neverending work of packing to sit down for that last breakfast. Mum voiced what we were all thinking: It was strange to see the place so empty. I worried that they’d begin to think they’d made a mistake.
“How do you feel ” I asked. There was a silence as Dad continued to drink his tea, and I held my breath.
“Well, it’s pretty awesome, isn’t it ” he replied.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief: I had expected sadness, maybe even doubt, but Dad was already looking to the future. His response had an impact on me.
Yes, it was a huge goodbye in so many ways, but it was also the start of something new — an adventure in multigenerational living. I realised this wasn’t about loss at all, but about movement and trust. Hearing Dad’s cheerfulness, I realised that what I’d been seeing as “the end of an era” was actually the start of a new one. Sitting at the table, making my mini sandwich, I realised I was ready for our next chapter.
24. After they had twins, the author and her husband decided to ________.
A．visit her parents
B．move back to Yorkshire
C．rent a house for the family
D．raise their children in London
25. During the breakfast, the author worried that ________.
A．she might lose her shelter in the future
B．there would be too much work in packing
C．her parents might regret selling their house
D．it would be hard to live a multigenerational life
26. How did the author feel after hearing her dad’s response
A．Uplifted.
B．Puzzled.
C．Concerned.
D．Honoured.
27. What does the story mainly tell us
A．Silence is the best cure for nostalgia.
B．Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
C．Optimism lights the path for tomorrow.
D．Parenting sets the pace of a child’s growth.
C
Whether artists or scientists, investigators strike out from what is known to brave the unknown in acts of creative discovery. Think of artists and scientists as users of three modes of discovery: knowing, seeing, and telling. We are all seeking knowledge — epistemologists who question what we think we know, how we come to know it, and whether we can prove what we think we know. Meanwhile, we are all seers — aestheticists who confront what we perceive in natural and created appearances. Finally, we are all tellers and listeners — narrativists who tell about what we have found and listen to the findings of others.
The epistemologist’s attention to knowing resonated (引起共鸣) in physicist Andrea Califano’s precisionmedicine discoveries in cancer biology. His philosopherphysicist mind is the creative ground to discover new treatments for cancer. “A lot of ideas end up being very, very simpleminded in hindsight. But it’s very difficult to foresee whether simpleminded ideas will work in the end. There’s nothing magical about what we do. It’s just that nobody had kind of thought of cancer in this way,” said Califano.
The aestheticists want to face the material world with all the capacities of the human to see and imagine. Tissue engineer Gordana VunjakNovakovic exposed the creative powers of aesthetics in the practice of a scientist. It was the novel Alexandria Quartet that gave her the idea of her work as “sliding planes”: “Each of the sliding planes is a body of knowledge. Then they travel past each other, and somehow connect with each other. There were three sliding planes that are three different characters’ perspectives. And then the fourth plane was the time. That is how the book was constructed, I believe, and this is how we do science.”
Knowing and seeing require connections between the internal world of the seer or knower, the external world of the seeable and knowable, and the world of witnesses who receive what becomes seen or known. These connections, what I call “telling”, are achieved through narrative acts like speech. It creates a network, bridging from person to person. Nabila ElBassel, an international leader in studying the most hardtodealwith global health problems, confirmed the necessity of listening to all “telling” voices. ElBassel and her teams are listeners of their subjects’ lived experiences, making sure that suffering individuals are heard and valued.
Recognising the fundamental roles of epistemology, aesthetics, and narrative studies in medical research avoids costly oppositions between arts and sciences. With all three discovery modes engaged, scientists gradually recognise why suffering matters, how delicate the balance between sickness and health is, and how urgent medicine’s mission is. Health care’s response to disease could then embrace the pursuit to comprehend phenomena deep within the cell and to face up to social issues vast across the Earth.
28. What does the word “hindsight” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A．Innovative mindset.
B．Blindminded thinking.
C．Longterm perspective.
D．Reflective understanding.
29. What can we learn from this passage
A．The author has a preference for narrative studies.
B．ElBassel focuses on seeable external phenomena.
C．Gordana values tackling problems from diverse angles.
D．Califano’s breakthrough sets ground for cancer biology.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Integration of art and science is hard to achieve.
B．Three discovery modes can balance sickness and health.
C．Meeting social needs is as vital as doing biological studies.
D．Medical research helps realise the role of three discovery modes.
31. Which would be the best title for the passage
A．The Art of Science: Knowing, Seeing, and Telling
B．Three Modes of Discovery: Can Artists Be Scientists
C．A Costly Conflict: The Battle Between Art and Science
D．The Medicine’s Mission: Are Scientists Brave to Complete
D
Dear Teachers and Parents,
This June, during Financial Literacy Month, we have some to share.
In 2015, a free online financial education course named FutureSmart was introduced to middle school students, specifically targeting this group at a time in their lives when financial habits take hold and grow.
Fast forward to today, FutureSmart, available in English and Spanish, has reached over 13,000 schools across all 50 states. More than two million students have completed the course, with almost half coming from lowtomoderate income families.
But we aren’t stopping there. We promise to reach four million more students by the end of 2025.
Why Because this moment calls for brave action. Never before have money management and investment decisions been so easy to conduct at any time or place through the use of a smartphone. It is time to offer students more critical financial literacy education to encourage them to make good financial decisions on a daily basis as they make their way through a complex world.
From weighing opportunity costs to delaying instant satisfaction for longterm financial gain, FutureSmart educates our youth using handson simulations (模拟) to introduce concepts like daily financial decisions and the rewards of longterm planning. Teaching young learners how to build solid financial foundations is an important step in building financially healthy communities.
Although our work is far from complete, we know that FutureSmart works. And it works exceptionally well.
In the largest study of its kind, supported by the MassMutual Foundation and EVERFI, the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI) recently concluded that 90% of students saw a statistically significant and educationally meaningful increase in knowledge after taking the FutureSmart course.
What’s more, these results were consistent across all student demographics including race, age, gender, school year, and socioeconomic status.
We have a long way to go to reach every single middle school student, but we welcome the challenge. Together, our teams have started a movement to provide equal access to financial education, and we invite others to join us.
Visit to learn more and see how you can bring FutureSmart to the young people in your life.

Head of MassMutual US President and CoFounder of EVERFI

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Cut your sugar, get some exercise, eat your vegetables, sleep well. Every day, we are surrounded by information about how to live longer, healthier, happier lives. ___35___ It is to engage in the arts.
Over the past few decades, evidence has been increasing to suggest that being more creative works wonders for our health. ___36___ And the results are astonishing, from music in surgery reducing the amount of painkillers and antianxiety medicines needed, to dance programs helping people with Parkinson’s disease to walk.
But the arts aren’t just there for us when we are sick. As a public health scientist. I spend my days looking at data from studies — massive datasets that contain thousands of individuals who have completed questionnaires, had nurse interviews, donated blood samples and undergone brain imaging every few years of their lives. ___37___ Using complex statistical methods, we can look at the longterm relationship between everyday arts engagement and dozens of health outcomes.
The results are remarkable. Children who engage more with the arts have a reduced risk of developing problems like depression later in life. Adults who participate more frequently in the arts and visit cultural venues are happier and feel more satisfied with their lives over the years and decades that follow.
___38___ Kindergarteners who engage in music activities have increased prosocial skills as they head into primary school. Teenagers who are involved in bands, dance and editing school newspapers are less likely to get involved in antisocial behaviors or crime.
I want to be clear: I am not suggesting the arts can solve all problems. ___39___ But the evidence remains that engaging regularly in creative activities that you enjoy is an investment in your health that is worth making.
A．The benefits aren’t just psychological either.
B．Regular arts engagement goes beyond boosting physical health.
C．But there is one piece of advice I bet you have never been given.
D．Many of these studies contain buried questions on arts engagement.
E．Arts can be inaccessible to people because of cost and other reasons.
F．Crafts, singing, theatre and writing are good for us as part of our daily lives.
G．Programs being developed around the world are starting to integrate the arts into healthcare.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Every Mother’s Day, I am reminded how important food is in my relationship with Mom. Every dish is a source of memories. A bowl of soup, a cup of tea, a simple fried fish — each becomes a precious moment between us.
Long before we speak, we are fed. Through food, we receive our first experiences of safety, care, and attention. A warm bowl of rice. A delicious chicken soup simmering (炖) in a kitchen filled with laughter. These are more than meals. They are messages: You are loved. You belong. I often think about the quiet care my mother puts into everything she cooks. There is no recipe that can express that feeling, no machine that can replicate (复制) her hands, her style, and her reasons. Each dish holds the power to create memories or to call them back.
Today, as the world rushes toward automation and optimization (最优化), I increasingly find myself looking to food for moments of calm. At the same time, I worry what will happen to the human heart of food when machines prepare, deliver, and even plan our meals for us.
Let’s be clear: Technology can help us in many ways. It can make cooking safer, more accessible, and less wasteful. But we must draw a line between assistance and replacement. Because once food is reduced to pure functional value, we will lose what it means to feed — and to be fed — as human beings. We don’t need smarter kitchens. We need longer tables, spaces where people of different backgrounds, generations, and experiences can gather and break bread together.
The future will always offer faster, more efficient ways of eating. But it will always be the human touch in the act of cooking that gives food its deepest meaning.

Dear Jim,
I’m writing to share my opinion on students using AI to finish homework.
Personally, I don’t think it is a good idea. For one thing, homework is designed to help us review what we have learned. If we depend on AI, we cannot figure out our weaknesses. For another, using AI to do homework is actually cheating, which goes against the principle of honesty.
We should make good use of AI as a helper rather than a replacement for our own thinking.
Yours,
Li Hua
