I sat silently in my office, waiting for a computer science student whose paper exposed a clear problem: many details in his report were made up by AI tools. He had handed in chatbot-generated content as his own work, and I once planned to give him a failing grade. The more I turned the pages, the heavier my heart felt. Yet I decided to hear his explanation.
I have worked with early AI tools for nearly twenty years. After earning my doctor’s degree in computer science, I took jobs in the technology industry while continuing to teach university courses. I used AI daily to polish documents and speed up boring coding work for my own tasks. However, I stuck to a strict rule that students must keep away from AI in all assignments.
When the student walked in, he admitted using AI without hiding anything. He felt anxious, believing mastering AI was necessary for his future career, but having no clear idea about when and how to use it properly. Listening to his worries, I felt ashamed of what I did. I relied on AI every day, yet forced students to avoid it fully. It struck me that strict bans would only build a wall to hide my own confusion about the fast-changing learning environment.
I gave the student a chance to rewrite his report, and later held a class discussion to draw up an AI agreement together. At first, students stayed cautious, but they opened up after I shared my own AI experiences. After a heated discussion, we drew a line separating mechanical output from actual thinking. Automating repetitive tasks or literature searches, as well as producing outlines, was acceptable. Skipping critical analysis was not; it would remain strictly human tasks.
Now I always co-create such agreements with new classes. Besides this rule, I shorten students’ papers to two pages and value face-to-face discussions more. These changes push students to organize ideas logically and practice independent thinking, which is the true core of teaching in the AI age.
24. How did the author probably feel while she waited in the office
A. Relieved. B. Awkward. C. Sympathetic. D. Annoyed.
25. What made the author ashamed
A. The worsening learning environment.
B. Her inconsistent attitude toward AI use.
C. The student’s ignorance of AI’s weakness.
D. Her poor performance in technology industry.
26. What agreement did the author reach with her students
A. AI is allowed to handle analysis tasks.
B. AI can help reach reasoning conclusions.
C. Students can depend on AI to form frameworks.
D. Students must label AI-generated content in their papers.
27. What message does the text deliver
A. Teaching needs reforming to suit the times.
B. Face-to-face discussions are the best approach.
C. Specific rules should be made in the beginning.
D. Academic problems give rise to new technology.
C
Gadusol, a natural chemical that protects transparent(透明的) fish eggs from the sun’s rays, has been produced in the lab using genetically engineered bacteria. Easier production of gadusol brings it one step closer to use as a more eco-friendly, transparent sunscreen for humans.
Existing in the eggs of zebrafish, salmon, sturgeon, as well as coral, gadusol can protect organisms from UV damage. As it’s only found in small quantities, garnering it naturally for use as a sunscreen is impractical.
A team led by Ping Zhang at Jiangnan University, China, introduced genes from zebrafish into the bacterium—Escherichia coli—to give it the enzymes(酶) needed to produce gadusol. Then, by using small RNA molecules(分子) to boost gadusol production in the bacteria, controlling the temperatures, and providing nutrients, they increased the yield by nearly 93 times, from 45.2 mg/L of liquid growth medium to 4.2 g/L.
In experiments, gadusol displayed antioxidant(抗氧化的) properties comparable to vitamin C, suggesting it may help address the chemicals that cause damage in cells. Gadusol is transparent, and yet is perfectly tuned to block out harmful rays from the sun, which makes it perfect for organisms hiding from enemies. Thanks to that quality, it might also avoid the white cast that some current sunscreens leave on the skin.
“I think we haven’t necessarily given it the praise that it deserves,” says James Gagnon at the University of Utah. According to Gagnon, further testing is needed, but the chemical is likely to be safe for humans and the environment because so many animals already use it. But he warns that there are two obstacles to overcome before gadusol can be commercialized. One is finding a way to mass-produce it economically, and the other is finding a mixture of chemicals that combines it into a solution that works as a long-lasting application.
28. What does the underlined word “garnering” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Distributing. B. Maintaining. C. Obtaining. D. Examining.
29. How did the research team increase gadusol production
A. By removing harmful chemicals.
B. By changing the zebrafish’s genes.
C. By replacing the liquid medium regularly.
D. By improving the bacteria’s living conditions.
30. Which is gadusol’s advantage over conventional sunscreens
A. Repairing cells. B. Being antioxidant. C. Being transparent.
D. Resisting harmful rays.
31. What would Gagnon probably advocate concerning gadusol
A. Seeking practical alternatives. B. Conducting in-depth exploration.
C. Speeding up its commercialization. D. Mass-producing a specific solution.
D
Maybe it’s the dream holiday, the new home, the fitness goal, or simply getting through a difficult phase of life. We tell ourselves that once we arrive there, we’ll finally feel different. And sometimes, for a while, we do. But the feeling rarely lasts as long as we expect it to. The excitement disappears gradually and before long, we find ourselves searching for the next thing that will make us feel good again. The problem is that the desire for pleasure is never fully satisfied.
Psychologists call this the “hedonic treadmill”—our tendency to quickly adapt to life’s highs and lows before returning to a relatively stable baseline of happiness.
In a now-famous 1978 study, researchers observed three groups over time: lottery (彩票) winners, disabled accident victims, and a control group. The winners’ sudden happiness returned to previous levels after a year, while the victims’ unhappiness eased, leaving them only slightly less happy than the winners. In both cases, the effects of external events on happiness were short-lived. Essentially, this can be explained by hedonic adaptation theory: our happiness tends to return to a baseline level no matter what life throws at us. Does this mean pursuing things meant to improve our lives has no real benefit And as pleasure wears off fast, can it create a fulfilling life by itself
Psychotherapist Dr Victoria Froome says, “Events that tend to cause lasting effects relate to the six core ‘foundations’: identity, relationships, resilience(韧性), skills, values, and strengths.” What you build within yourself remains stable in the long run, while endless goal-pursuing leads to burnout.
So to break free from the hedonic treadmill, we should focus on inner stability. Besides, Dr Froome mentions therapies(疗法) like person-centred therapy, ACT and CBT, reminding us to use the right tools at the right time, especially if we are burnt out.
The hedonic treadmill suggests happiness never lies in constant upgrades or endless chasing. If searching for more exhausts you, grounding yourself in inner growth rather than material gain is the key to lasting happiness.
32. What can we learn about people’s desire for pleasure
A. It can hardly be completely fulfilled.
B. It might grow stronger after hard times.
C. It stops people from setting new life goals.
D. It helps people build confidence in their lives.
33. Why is the 1978 study mentioned
A. To illustrate an argument. B. To question an opinion.
C. To describe a phenomenon. D. To make a comparison.
34. What may fail to bring lasting happiness according to paragraph 4
A. Falling in love. B. Becoming a parent.
C. Receiving a gift. D. Recovering from illness.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. External recognition also matters.
B. Stable joy arises from inner growth.
C. Why people always go after new pleasure.
D. The hedonic treadmill affects people’s life goals.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Living on your own can give you an incredible sense of freedom, but many people still struggle. They claim: When you only need to answer to yourself in the house, it can be harder to have a regular rhythm in your day. 36
Predictable routines help to reduce stress and worry. They take away some of the exhaustion you might feel when faced with a long day ahead, and they reduce the day-to-day decision-making. Structured days help to maintain your mood and support mental strength. 37 For example, if you schedule in your exercise, you’re more likely to do it. If you plan regular mealtimes, it means you don’t forget to eat, which helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable.
38 If you make it very inflexible, it can become a source of tension and anxiety. There should be space for unexpected events—you might get a last-minute social invitation from a friend, the weather might be awful, or you might be feeling extremely tired. You should be allowed to accommodate these changes.
Sometimes you’ll have a day when you feel sad and lost. 39 However, if you can, get up and start following some of your routine—even if you only do the basics. It can help you to feel more purposeful.
Building a routine is an evolving process, and as you settle more into your solo(独居的) life, your routine will adapt and change. Celebrate being consistent, not perfect. 40 Overpacking your days will make them exhausting and stressful, which is why it’s just as important to add in periods of rest and relaxation.
A. An extremely fixed routine has its advantages.
B. When building a routine, think about balance.
C. But having a healthy routine can bring stability.
D. However, it’s important not to be too strict with it.
E. Without a routine, you may easily lose your identity.
F. It’s appealing to stay in bed and not face the day at all.
G. There are also physical health benefits of having a routine.

The yellow postbox at the corner of Peepal Road had a bent mouth-like slot (投信口), and it leaned slightly left, as if it were bending over to listen. At least, that’s what eleven-year-old Naina believed.
Naina preferred drawing maps. On her study table lay a half-finished map titled The Island of Brave People. In the middle of the island was a blank spot shaped almost exactly like her. However, in real life, Naina was afraid of one thing more than anything else: speaking in front of people.
And the next Monday, she had to deliver a speech for the school storytelling competition. Fear followed her everywhere. All week she tried practising. In front of the mirror, her voice trembled. In front of her parents, her hands sweated. At night, her stomach twisted into tight knots(结).
On Thursday evening, while on her way home, she saw Rohan, who never dared to raise his hand to answer any questions in class, standing near the yellow postbox at the corner of Peepal Road. He looked around carefully. Then he slipped a folded paper inside. The postbox made a faint metallic sound, “Clink.”
The next day during math class, when the math teacher asked a difficult question, Rohan raised his hand immediately. Naina noticed this change and was astonished. After school, by the yellow postbox, Naina stopped Rohan and asked him, “What did you post yesterday I saw you whispering to the postbox!” Naina asked, confused. Rohan kept silent for a moment. Then, he hesitated and sighed, “Promise you won’t laugh at me or judge me.” Naina nodded firmly. “I wrote that I’m scared of failing,” Rohan continued. “And the miracle was that I felt lighter after posting it. Maybe that does sound silly, but today I didn’t feel like hiding anymore. Remember not to tell that to anybody!” After stressing that repeatedly, Rohan went away.
Naina was left there, staring at the postbox and deep in thought. The postbox stood there, chipped and silent.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
That night, Naina couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Dear Chairman,
I'm writing to offer my proposal for the AI Creative Works Exhibition, which is aimed at enriching our campus cultural life.
For the layout, I suggest dividing the exhibition into two sections: student-created AI works and AI-generated artworks. Besides displaying physical exhibits, we can set up an interactive area, where visitors can experience simple AI-driven creation on site. Works will be grouped by themes, with brief introduction attached, to help visitors enjoy the exhibition easily.
My reasons are as follows: Grouped displays with notes help visitors understand different AI applications better. The interactive section can spark students' curiosity about technology and encourage more creative thinking. I sincerely hope my ideas will be taken into consideration. Thank you!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
That night, Naina couldn't stop thinking about it. The yellow postbox kept appearing in her mind. What if she also wrote down her fear of public speaking Taking out a piece of paper, she poured out her true feelings, admitting her great fear of messing up the coming speech. Holding the folded letter tightly, she walked slowly to the corner under dim streetlights. Hesitating for a little while, she slipped her secret into the mouth-like slot. A soft “Clink” rang out, and she headed home with mixed yet peaceful feelings.
After Naina posted the letter, something amazing did happen. It was not that Naina's fear disappeared completely, but that a heavy weight seemed to fall off her shoulders instantly. She still felt nervous while practicing, yet she no longer avoided thinking about the competition actively. On Monday, Naina stepped onto the stage calmly. Her hands still shook slightly, but she looked up and delivered her story bravely. She didn't get the top prize, but she won warm and loud applause. To Naina, the old silent postbox had given her the precious courage to face her inner weakness.

M: I'll take the subway to Elm Street Station. It's just two stops from my place. We can meet at the bookshop on Elm Street at 3:30 pm. It's just a five-minute walk from the gallery.
W: That's perfect. I can take the No. 5 bus and get to the bookshop in fifteen minutes.

W: Good morning, everyone. Today, we are truly honored to have with us Dr. Thompson, who has changed how we understand early childhood development. Her pioneering research on play-based learning is her greatest contribution and has influenced educational policies in Europe, Asia, and North America. What makes her research so powerful is its practical value in application. She turns brain science into practical teaching methods that parents and educators can use every day. To spread these methods globally, she founded the "Global Learning Through Play" initiative in 2015, a nonprofit platform that provides training and resources to educators worldwide. She's written four books, led numerous research projects, and won some professional prizes. She still teaches undergraduate classes at the university because, as she says, "The best ideas come from conversations with curious minds." We're fortunate to have her here to give a lecture on the future of early education. Please join me in warmly welcoming Dr. Thompson.
