The heavy oak doors of the town's old library swung open with a familiar, rhythmic sound that seemed to bridge the gap between my crazy present and the forgotten past. I stepped inside, greeted by the scent of aging paper and leather. As I walked through the narrow walkways, my fingers brushed against the spines (书脊) of books that had stood there long before I was born. I sat on a chair that was a bit unsteady, just as it was ten years ago. Why do we feel such a profound pull toward the physical objects of history in an age when everything is digitized on a screen
Perhaps it is because a screen offers information, but a book offers a soul. In these margins (页边空白), I saw faint pencil marks left by previous readers — a question mark here, an underlined sentence there. These were the echoes of strangers, a silent conversation across decades. The sunlight came through the dust in the air, turning it into a shining veil of gold. It was a beautiful place of deep thoughts where time felt suspended in amber (琥珀).
We live in a culture of “now”, focused on the immediate and the loud. We rush toward the future, abandoning our memories like old skin. However, standing in that quiet corner, I realized that progress without reflection is merely movement without direction. We need these silent spaces to remind us that our individual stories are but single threads in a vast, interconnected tapestry (织锦) of human experience.
Leaving the library, I felt a strange sense of grounding. The world outside was still loud, and my phone still buzzed with urgency. But I carried a piece of that stillness with me. I learned that to look back is not always to withdraw; sometimes, it is the only way to find the strength to move forward. The old books didn't just tell me stories; they reminded me who I am when the world stops asking me to be someone else.
24. What does the author think of the town's old library
A. It is in need of urgent repair. B. It serves people in a modern way.
C. It connects the past and the present. D. It has been forgotten completely.
25. What do the pencil marks in the books represent to the author
A. The difference between paper and screens. B. Damage caused by careless readers.
C. Essential materials to focus on. D. A silent dialogue across time.
26. What can we learn from the author's reflection
A. Future is more important. B. Progress needs self-reflection.
C. Memories surely fade away. D. Silent spaces are unique.
27. What did the author learn from the visit to the library
A. The past can provide strength for the future.
B. Technology disconnects us from our true selves.
C. Old books are more valuable than modern ones.
D. Reading paper books is the best way to rest.
C
“Neil the seal (海豹)” is a five-year-old, one-ton southern elephant seal in Tasmania Island of Australia. Wandering around coastal towns, he often overturns road posts and blocks traffic. Surprisingly, his naughty behaviors have won wide public affection, earning him over 1.5 million fans on social media.
Neil's life story started with an unexpected rescue in 2020. When he was a tiny seal weighing just 90 pounds, he was trapped in shallow coastal waters in Tasmania. Wildlife workers saved him. Researchers think his mother ran into trouble out at sea and had to give birth on Tasmania's nearest shore.
As Neil grew bigger and more energetic, he began breaking public road facilities, a behavior the public consider anomalous for young elephant seals. However, ecologists explain that such behaviors come from natural characteristics of young seals. Young males regularly push and lightly bite each other, which serves as playful fights to build strength and prepare for adulthood.
Different from group-living seals, Neil stays alone in Tasmania with no companions. Without regular interactive fights with his kind, he has to release his energy by hitting road posts instead. Yet, the long-term lack of social training may cost him essential experience for finding female partners.
Elephant seals are born equipped with a special “map sense”. They can accurately schedule regular rests on shore after months of foraging (觅食) in the deep ocean. Following this natural habit, Neil comes back to Tasmania repeatedly every year.
It is Neil's frequent returns that have drawn ecologists' attention to the tough survival situation of southern elephant seals. Once widespread across Tasmania, the species was nearly wiped out by hunters in the early 1800s and remains at risk of being hunted in parts of Australia. Globally, it faces severe threats including climate-related disasters.
Neil is among the first southern elephant seals born in Tasmania after the local species declined. His steady comeback reveals a promising sign of the species' recovery. Despite the troubles his messy behaviors bring, local officials highly value and welcome his presence.
28. What does the underlined word “anomalous” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Adorable. B. Conventional. C. Abnormal. D. Temporary.
29. What helps Neil's return to Tasmania
A. A good natural sense of direction. B. The company of a female seal.
C. Energy saved from breaking road posts. D. Plenty of food on the coastal shore.
30. What is paragraph 6 mainly about
A. Experts' attention to wild animals. B. Elephant seals' survival crisis.
C. Hunting history of local seals. D. Threats of global climate.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Seal populations may gradually bounce back.
B. Neil's naughty acts annoy local residents.
C. Seals' habitat has seen dramatic improvement.
D. Officials tend to set limits on Neil's activities.
D
AI systems are often described as “brain-like” because they can predict activity in parts of the brain that help us recognize objects. Until now, scientists mostly tested this in one direction. Researchers from York University wanted to determine whether these systems truly operate like biological vision.
The researchers reversed (反向开展) that familiar test. If AI genuinely reflects the brain, they reasoned, then recorded brain activity should also predict the model's internal responses.
The researchers tested the models with 1,320 natural photographs and realistic synthetic (合成的) images. The set included bears, elephants, faces, apples, cars, dogs, chairs, planes, birds, and zebras shown against indoor, outdoor, and other natural backgrounds. They also used 300 additional images describing the same objects in changed forms, including outlines, drawings, simplified representations, and artistic variations. This broader range helped test whether the relationship between brain activity and AI features held across different visual styles.
“The results were striking. While AI models can predict the neurons (神经元) we recorded in the brain fairly well, the reverse is not true. Interestingly, this is not the case when neurons from one brain are compared against ones from another brain, and the one-sided imbalance disappears,” says York University Assistant Professor Kohitij Kar.
This imbalance suggests that AI models may reach correct visual answers through processes that differ from those used by the brain. Kar warns that the mismatch could widen as models become more complex. If an AI model predicts neurons but its own internal features cannot be predicted from neural activity, it may not provide a reliable explanation of how the brain works.
Researchers increasingly use AI models to design studies of human behavior, including clinical research. Much of that work assumes the systems process the world like the brain.
More accurate brain-like models could eventually support research involving conditions related to the brain. For now, however, using systems that do not match brain function well to interpret human behavior carries parable models are also being applied to hearing, language and movement, making reliable testing important across several fields.
32. What did most previous studies focus on concerning AI models
A. How the brain genuinely reflected them. B. Whether they could predict brain activity.
C. Whether they took control of the neurons. D. How they were integrated into the brain.
33. What does the brain fail to do in the reverse test
A. Forecast neurons from another similar brain. B. Process visual information like AI models.
C. Equally predict AI models' internal features. D. Recognize objects in natural photographs.
34. Why is clinical research mentioned in paragraph 6
A. To highlight the significance of the reverse test.
B. To sing high praises for technological advances.
C. To prove the similarity between AI and the brain.
D. To doubt the reliability of current AI models.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Way to Improve AI's Prediction Accuracy B. AI Models May Not Think Like the Brain
C. A Novel Test on Advanced AI Models D. Brain-Like AI Models Matter in Research

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。
In today's busy life, priorities come first. A typical to-do list usually contains work-related activities, shopping, cleaning, and then maybe self-care. But a new popular trend is looking to make self-care a daily habit that doesn't fall on the bottom of the list. This trend is known as wellness stacking (健康叠加), according to Healthline. 36 Use the good habits you're already doing and build on them to do even more.
37 According to mental health professionals, designed to give you small wins, wellness stacking is a healthy way to support emotional well-being. “From a mental-health perspective, wellness stacking is more sustainable because it centers on small, realistic habits rather than extreme routines,” said Andrea Gleim, a psychologist.
Additionally, rather than dramatic reinventions of yourself, wellness stacking builds on the top of your already existing routine, according to Vogue Singapore. All you need to do is to add a self-care habit to an existing wellness behavior. 38
To build effective stacking, plan what you want to incorporate and how it fits with your current routine. Look at your day and pinpoint (精准找到) consistent activities — showering, brushing your teeth, housework, etc. 39 For instance, while waiting for the kettle to boil, do a 60-second stretch, and whenever you check your phone, take three deep breaths.
The key to wellness stacking is to start with just one habit and once it becomes routine, add an additional one. 40 “Those small habits create small wins, which boost motivation and reinforce the behavior over time,” said Gleim. “Our brains love patterns, and wellness stacking turns self-care into a simple, repeatable rhythm instead of a long list of disconnected tasks.”
A. But is this trend effective
B. And can you keep this routine up
C. Combining wellness behaviors together makes it easier to stick.
D. Taking baby steps is the way to successfully build your stack.
E. Start wellness stacking and soon you will build a reliable system.
F. It's the practice of linking two or more self-care habits together.
G. Then think of a small wellness habit you can attach to these activities.

As weeks passed, I 51 more connections. The local hospital used Chinese-made medical equipment, and the new highway being built nearby was 52 by Chinese companies. I began to see China’s influence not as a distant concept, but as a living, breathing 53 in people’s daily lives.
On my last day, the children presented me with a thank-you card 54 with Chinese characters. Holding that card, I felt a profound sense of 55 in my country and its role in the world.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every Thursday afternoon, our school library opened an hour earlier for students who wanted a quiet place to study. It was peaceful there, filled with the smell of old books and sunlight falling through tall windows.
Mrs. Harper, the librarian, knew me well. She was a small woman with silver hair and gentle eyes. Every Thursday, she placed a cup of warm lemon tea on the corner of her desk for each student who came to read. “For long study hours,” she would say with a smile. I never forgot the kindness.
One rainy afternoon, I arrived earlier than usual and noticed Mrs. Harper struggling to push a heavy cart (手推车) of returned books across the carpet. I hurried over to help. As we worked together, I noticed that she stopped several times to press a hand against her side. She looked pale. “Are you okay ” I asked. “Just tired,” she answered softly. “Getting older is inconvenient sometimes.”
After that day, I began helping her every Thursday. She always thanked me with the same warm smile and a cup of lemon tea.
One Thursday near the end of the term, I entered the library and found it unusually dark and quiet. The front desk was empty. No tea. No Mrs. Harper. Then I spotted the book cart standing alone near the history shelves. On top of it lay her glasses and a small notebook.
I picked up the notebook carefully. Inside was a handwritten list titled “Things to Finish Before Summer.” Most items had already been crossed out. Only one line remained: “Repair the Reading Corner before students return.” I looked toward the old reading corner by the windows. One chair had a broken leg, the paint on the shelf was chipping, and several cushions (垫子) were torn open. Mrs. Harper had always wanted students to enjoy that little space.
Just then, the principal walked into the library. “She was taken to hospital this morning,” he said quietly. I looked again at the unfinished list in my hands. Outside, rain tapped softly against the windows, making the whole library feel lonelier than before.

That evening, I sent a message to our class group chat. “Mrs. Harper has been hospitalized,” I typed, my fingers trembling slightly. “For months, she has brightened our Thursdays with her homemade lemon tea and unwavering kindness. Now, it is high time we repaid her generosity.” I then shared her unfinished mission: repairing the Reading Corner. To my astonishment, an overwhelming wave of support flooded in. Classmates volunteered to bring toolkits, sew the torn cushions, and repaint the shabby shelf. By midnight, a dozen of us had formed a repair team, driven by a shared determination to transform her handwritten wish into reality. No administrative order was issued; we were simply responding to the warmth she had sown in our hearts.
The following Thursday, the library doors finally opened again. What greeted Mrs. Harper was nothing short of a miracle. The once-broken chair stood firm, its leg reinforced; the shelf gleamed with fresh paint; and the cushions, meticulously stitched, lay invitingly by the window where sunlight poured in. A hand-painted sign read: “Mrs. Harper’s Corner — Where Kindness Finds a Home.” As she stepped inside, leaning on a cane, her eyes welled up with tears. I handed her a steaming cup of lemon tea and whispered, “For the long hours reading ahead.” She clutched the cup, her smile radiating a quiet joy. In that moment, I realized that true education extends far beyond textbooks — it flourishes in the small, selfless acts of gratitude that bind a community together.

W: Precisely. What’s more, you ought to take a brief break before opening them again.
M: How do you use learning apps in your spare time
W: I only spend half an hour on them every night, just to preview new lessons and review what I’ve learned.

Boys and girls, this week’s classes are over now. Before you leave school, I’d like to tell you the arrangements for our class over the next two days.
We’ll start off early this Saturday morning and return on Sunday afternoon. Upon arrival tomorrow morning, we will check in and settle down. In the afternoon, we will visit the largest and most advanced indoor vegetable greenhouses in the local area, learning how greatly science and technology push the development of agriculture. On Sunday morning, we will go for outdoor drawing in the neighboring fields. Under the guidance of the art teacher, we will draw pictures of natural countryside views, including farmlands, flowers and the river. We will head back to school on Sunday afternoon.
We’ll gather at the school gate at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow. Please prepare your own drinking water and warm clothes, for the temperature in that area will be a little lower than that in the city. Valuable personal belongings, including electronic devices, are not allowed on the trip. We believe this activity will bring us both fun and valuable learning experiences.
