Last year, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything.
Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, after watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones.
Settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on day one. Inspired by Leopold’s bravery on the chairlift, I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep (陡峭的), but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge.
Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub. Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to object, Leopold reminded me of the rule.
Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.
Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet.
4. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule
A. To conquer Leopold’s ski fears. B. To master new snowboarding tricks.
C. To win in snowboarding competitions. D. To encourage Leopold to try new things.
5. Which of the following best describes the writer
A. Adventurous. B. Confident. C. Optimistic. D. Considerate.
6. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5
A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub.
B. She regretted breaking the rule with Leopold.
C. She found it rewarding to brave the experience.
D. She felt much better when she got out of the tub.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Braving Winter: Family Unity B. Embracing Yes: A Family Adventure
C. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories D. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders
C
Good friends and good physical health may be even more closely linked than previously thought, new research has found. Researchers discovered that positive social experiences impact not only a person’s stress level and ability to cope, but also markers of physical health, according to a study published Monday in the journal Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
The study followed more than 4,000 people over three weeks as they completed check-ins every three days on their smartphones or smartwatches regarding their positive and negative experiences with their closest social relationships, as well as assessments of their blood pressure, heart rate, stress and coping. Having more positive experiences in social relationships was generally associated with better coping, lower stress and lower blood pressure, according to the study.
But having social relationships which bounce between good and bad often can be unhelpful. When there is a lot of volatility, the negative experiences seemed to have a bigger impact on a person than the positive, said lead study author Brian Don of the University of Auckland.
Then, how to build good social relationships Adam Smiley Poswolsky, a workplace belonging expert, suggests starting small. Text a friend that you haven’t talked to in a long time, meet one new person a month, host a dinner party, or join a class. “If you do just one thing, make a list of five people in your life that you care about, and give one of them a phone call,” Poswolsky added.
There might not be just one definition of a good friendship, but most strong relationships share some similar qualities, he said. They tend to prioritize laughter, joy, excitement, courage, and non-judgmental support. And good friendships are often two people helping each other become better versions of themselves, he added. “You know someone is a true friend when they have your back when you’re sick, when you lose your job, when you make a mistake, when you’re stressed, when you’re sad,” Poswolsky said.
8. How was the study carried out
A. By doing regular check-ins on devices.
B By following the participants for three days.
C. By interviewing the closest friends of participants.
D. By monitoring the health conditions of participants.
9. What does the underlined word “volatility” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Pressure. B. Association. C. Changeability. D. Certainty.
10. Which statement will Poswolsky probably agree with
A. Friendship is about being always available.
B. Friendship is based on shared interests and hobbies.
C. Friendship begins with tiny moments of connection.
D. Friendship means always having positive interactions.
11. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from
A. A questionnaire survey. B. A personal diary.
C. A biology textbook. D. A news report.
D
Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes (糖尿病) from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar.
A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence(AI)to detect changes in glucose (葡萄糖) levels without the need to draw blood several times a day.
The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers. The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features or characteristics including how long it takes for them to return to the device.
Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85 percent as accurate as traditional, invasive (穿刺式的) blood analysis.
“The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.”
Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging. The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power.
The data analyzed by AI is now sent wirelessly to computers, but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate.
“I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.”
12. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A. The radar-reflected wave analysis process.
B. The technical principle underlying the system.
C. The machine-learning-powered glucose detection.
D. The high-frequency wave transmission technique.
13. What do Shaker’s words in paragraph 5 suggest
A The radar system’s practicality is proven
B. The radar technology’s limitations are noticed.
C. The volunteers’ test performance was highlighted.
D The traditional blood analysis’s accuracy is emphasized.
14. What does the follow-up study focus on
A. Developing smartwatches for AI analysis.
B. Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology.
C. Improving skin-based glucose quantification.
D. Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly.
15. What is Shaker’s attitude toward the research
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
In our urban planning class, we’ve been learning about how cities are designed and how they affect our lives. We’ve studied topics like urban layout, transportation systems, green spaces, and how to make cities more sustainable and livable. The course aims to give us a broad understanding of urban planning and equip us with the skills to think critically about how cities can be improved.
For our school assignment, our group was assigned a task to design a concept for a city of the future. It was an exciting project, but it quickly became clear that we all had very different ideas about what the city should look like.
At our first meeting, we all talked at once about what we wanted. Jake wanted a city filled with towering skyscrapers that touched the clouds, while Maria dreamed of a city enveloped by green spaces and beautiful flowers. Kevin insisted on including the latest technology in all parts of city living, and Emily couldn’t stop talking about the self-sustaining, eco-friendly buildings she had in mind. I was focused on transportation, drawing out plans for a high-speed, efficient metro system that could connect every corner of our city.
We were like five musicians playing different tunes, each believing our melody was the only one that should be heard. It was a heated discussion, with voices sometimes rising and frustration gradually building up. And it seemed for a while that we couldn’t agree.
But then, our teacher, Mr. Smith, stepped in and offered some wise guidance. He reminded us that a city is a collective space, shaped by the needs and dreams of its people. He suggested we start by listing what we all agreed was essential for our future city, and then discuss how to combine these key points into a single plan, finding a balance among our different views and making compromises where needed.
注意：
1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
With this in mind, we began to reach an agreement.

Last year, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything.
Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, after watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones.
Settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on day one. Inspired by Leopold’s bravery on the chairlift, I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep (陡峭的), but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge.
Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub. Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to object, Leopold reminded me of the rule.
Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.
Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet.
4. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule
A. To conquer Leopold’s ski fears. B. To master new snowboarding tricks.
C. To win in snowboarding competitions. D. To encourage Leopold to try new things.
5. Which of the following best describes the writer
A. Adventurous. B. Confident. C. Optimistic. D. Considerate.
6. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5
A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub.
B. She regretted breaking the rule with Leopold.
C. She found it rewarding to brave the experience.
D. She felt much better when she got out of the tub.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Braving Winter: Family Unity B. Embracing Yes: A Family Adventure
C. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories D. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders

Good friends and good physical health may be even more closely linked than previously thought, new research has found. Researchers discovered that positive social experiences impact not only a person’s stress level and ability to cope, but also markers of physical health, according to a study published Monday in the journal Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
The study followed more than 4,000 people over three weeks as they completed check-ins every three days on their smartphones or smartwatches regarding their positive and negative experiences with their closest social relationships, as well as assessments of their blood pressure, heart rate, stress and coping. Having more positive experiences in social relationships was generally associated with better coping, lower stress and lower blood pressure, according to the study.
But having social relationships which bounce between good and bad often can be unhelpful. When there is a lot of volatility, the negative experiences seemed to have a bigger impact on a person than the positive, said lead study author Brian Don of the University of Auckland.
Then, how to build good social relationships Adam Smiley Poswolsky, a workplace belonging expert, suggests starting small. Text a friend that you haven’t talked to in a long time, meet one new person a month, host a dinner party, or join a class. “If you do just one thing, make a list of five people in your life that you care about, and give one of them a phone call,” Poswolsky added.
There might not be just one definition of a good friendship, but most strong relationships share some similar qualities, he said. They tend to prioritize laughter, joy, excitement, courage, and non-judgmental support. And good friendships are often two people helping each other become better versions of themselves, he added. “You know someone is a true friend when they have your back when you’re sick, when you lose your job, when you make a mistake, when you’re stressed, when you’re sad,” Poswolsky said.
8. How was the study carried out
A. By doing regular check-ins on devices.
B. By following the participants for three days.
C By interviewing the closest friends of participants.
D. By monitoring the health conditions of participants.
9. What does the underlined word “volatility” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Pressure. B. Association. C. Changeability. D. Certainty.
10. Which statement will Poswolsky probably agree with
A. Friendship is about being always available.
B. Friendship is based on shared interests and hobbies.
C. Friendship begins with tiny moments of connection.
D. Friendship means always having positive interactions.
11. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from
A. A questionnaire survey. B. A personal diary.
C A biology textbook. D. A news report.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D
D
Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes (糖尿病) from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar.
A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence(AI)to detect changes in glucose (葡萄糖) levels without the need to draw blood several times a day.
The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers. The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features or characteristics including how long it takes for them to return to the device.
Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85 percent as accurate as traditional, invasive (穿刺式的) blood analysis.
“The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.”
Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging. The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power.
The data analyzed by AI is now sent wirelessly to computers, but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate.
“I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.”
12. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A. The radar-reflected wave analysis process.
B. The technical principle underlying the system.
C. The machine-learning-powered glucose detection.
D. The high-frequency wave transmission technique.
13. What do Shaker’s words in paragraph 5 suggest
A. The radar system’s practicality is proven
B. The radar technology’s limitations are noticed.
C. The volunteers’ test performance was highlighted.
D. The traditional blood analysis’s accuracy is emphasized.
14. What does the follow-up study focus on
A. Developing smartwatches for AI analysis.
B. Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology.
C. Improving skin-based glucose quantification.
D. Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly.
15. What is Shaker’s attitude toward the research
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
In our urban planning class, we’ve been learning about how cities are designed and how they affect our lives. We’ve studied topics like urban layout, transportation systems, green spaces, and how to make cities more sustainable and livable. The course aims to give us a broad understanding of urban planning and equip us with the skills to think critically about how cities can be improved.
For our school assignment, our group was assigned a task to design a concept for a city of the future. It was an exciting project, but it quickly became clear that we all had very different ideas about what the city should look like.
At our first meeting, we all talked at once about what we wanted. Jake wanted a city filled with towering skyscrapers that touched the clouds, while Maria dreamed of a city enveloped by green spaces and beautiful flowers. Kevin insisted on including the latest technology in all parts of city living, and Emily couldn’t stop talking about the self-sustaining, eco-friendly buildings she had in mind. I was focused on transportation, drawing out plans for a high-speed, efficient metro system that could connect every corner of our city.
We were like five musicians playing different tunes, each believing our melody was the only one that should be heard. It was a heated discussion, with voices sometimes rising and frustration gradually building up. And it seemed for a while that we couldn’t agree.
But then, our teacher, Mr. Smith, stepped in and offered some wise guidance. He reminded us that a city is a collective space, shaped by the needs and dreams of its people. He suggested we start by listing what we all agreed was essential for our future city, and then discuss how to combine these key points into a single plan, finding a balance among our different views and making compromises where needed.
注意：
1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
With this in mind, we began to reach an agreement.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of the presentation finally arrived.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 With this in mind, we began to reach an agreement. We integrated our ideas on a large sheet of paper. Jake’s skyscrapers were now covered in Maria’s green spaces. Kevin’s technology wasn’t just in the buildings but also in the smart roads and traffic systems that Emily designed to reduce pollution. And my metro system became the backbone of our transportation network, connecting every corner of our city. Despite the moments of tension as we debated the details, we learned to listen to each other and respect the value of each idea. We learned to say “our city” instead of “my idea”, and in doing so we became a team.
The day of the presentation finally arrived. We stood in front of the class with our model city, a wonder that represented the best of our collective imagination. It was a city where technology and nature coexisted, where life was efficient, and where every citizen could enjoy a high standard of living. Our classmates were impressed, and our teacher praised our collaborative effort. But the real victory was the lesson we learned: by combining our unique perspectives and working together, we could achieve something greater than any of us could alone. We didn’t just design a city; we built a blueprint for teamwork and innovation.
