B
My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I'm Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,”Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our“hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote“observing details” - something I'd learned from painting flower petals. “That's medical research's most needed skill!” she exclaimed,sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis(光合作用) comic ” For the first time, my two worlds didn't feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries,I noticed something-the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly,my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-ray s arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled“Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed– graphic designers for science apps,3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn't about heart and reality canceling each other out-they just multiply possibilities.
24. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1
A. She had given up the hobby of drawing.
B. She was excited about studying medicine.
C. She felt torn between art and medical study.
D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
25. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora's“hidden skills” as .
A. a plus B. a leisure C. a distraction D. a burden
26. How did Lora's hospital experience influence her
A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training.
C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art's role in healthcare.
27. What message does the author want to convey
A. Follow the beaten track to success. B. A picture is worth a thousand words.
C. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. D. Two strings to your bow light the way.

Global sea levels continue to rise despite efforts that cities around the world are making to reduce the effects of climate change and their carbon emissions. One firm, however, is hoping to battle the effects of climate change. Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice,Italy, has released Floating City - a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions.
Each 25-acre unit houses 50,000 residents on interconnected platforms, with potential expansion for 200,000 and buildings are capped at 90 meters tall for stability. “Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves,” explains architect Curci To achieve this, seawater resistant materials are given priority to, while hollow sections in platforms help them float.Meanwhile, movable bridges are constructed to link these“water neighborhoods” to mainland transport systems.
The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind,water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters.
Compared to building artificial islands, this method preserves 68% more marine (海洋) life and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks. However, challenges persist.Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months, and emergency plans for extreme weather are still under way. “This isn't about abandoning coasts but evolving with them,”notes designer Tim Fu.
While some question long-term possibility, the design redefines urban resilience. Unlike rigid sea walls, these dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms, offering a blueprint for climate solutions. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci says. This philosophy could transform humanity's relationship with rising seas, turning threats into sustainable opportunities.
28. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design
A. Energy crisis. B. Potential disasters.
C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities.
29. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci's design
A. Fictional and renewable. B. Adaptable and innovative.
C. Eco-friendly and immovable. D. Wave-resistant and conventional.
30. A limitation of Luca Curci's design is that .
A. it threatens marine life B. it lacks clean energy options
C. it requires regular maintenance D. it ignores coastal water changes
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat
B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities
C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions
D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo

D
It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid Experiences like this unveil a profound truth: our minds are not just products of the brain but emerge from its constant dialogue with the body.
At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve (神經(jīng))-the body's longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them. Much of the confusing range of functions it regulates are automatic and operate without conscious control. These complex responses engage a group of neural networks that link brain and body. The vagus nerve is, in one way of thinking, the conduit of the mind.
The primary function of the vagus nerve is to dampen the body's responses. After a fear episode, for example, the body's powerful, life-saving threat response must be ended to restore resting heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and the rest. So powerful is its influence that the vagus nerve can literally stop the beating heart. Conversely, it can also stimulate bodily responses by releasing the brakes to accelerate.
The vagus nerve is the biological basis for many new therapies (療法) worldwide. However,some people have taken the vagus nerve's wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy– physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve-is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There's little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort.
The vagus nerve doesn't need to be a cure for everything - it's worth appreciating all on its own. Neuroscientists compare the vagus to an orchestra conductor, harmonizing bodily systems to compose our conscious experience. Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’ re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.”
32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A. By sharing a story. B. By creating a scene.
C. By asking a question. D. By defining a concept.
33. What does the underlined word“conduit” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Channel. B. Product. C. Mirror. D. Nature.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The popularity of a biological treatment. B. The effectiveness of breathing exercises.
C. The misuse of unproven nerve therapies. D. The evidence of vagus nerve's functions.
35. What do Linda Rinaman's words imply
A. Blood circulation determines our emotions.
B. Physical health is unrelated to mental states.
C. Body and mind interact to form experiences.
D. Our brain stores feelings separate from body.

The path to healthy weight combines two key elements. Exercise and eating habits form its foundation. Some believe they demand lots of effort or planning. But that's not true. In fact, the best way to work them into our lives is by making small changes that gradually become part of our routine. 36
Regular Exercise
Teens should get 60+ minutes of daily physical activity. 37 All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including dancing, brisk walking, or stair-climbing.Breaking workouts into 15-minute“exercise snacks” (e. g., morning yoga, lunchtime walks)throughout the day makes goals more achievable. This strategy avoids burnout while keeping energy steady.
Good Eating Habits
38 Actually, crash diets cause weight rebounds. A 2022 study found 80% of teens regained weight post-diet. Therefore, teens should eat a variety of foods, and there's nothing wrong with the occasional treat. A candy bar somehow beats snapping daily.
To build lasting habits, reshape your mindset. 39 When stressed, try brief walks rather than reaching for snacks. Track weekly progress with a checklist – small achievements boost motivation strongly.
In conclusion, creatively design routines blending exercise and nutrition in your own way. 40 While others choose gym workouts, you might prefer playing Frisbee with your dog.Knowing what's right for you will make it a lot easier to do!
A. You' re all different after all.
B. Independence matters in habit-building.
C. View food as fuel, not emotional comfort.
D. Low-calorie diets ensure steady weight loss.
E. Eating well doesn't mean dieting over and over.
F. It doesn't mean doing tough exercises or hitting the gym.
G. Here's how to make these other healthy habits just as easy.

The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves.An open order book lay on the desk. February's page was empty There had been no new orders since mid-January . Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler“This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was
However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!”“No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. Aspider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days
“Want to see my treasure ” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches(草圖) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. Afaded photo slipped out. a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved(彎曲的) spoon proudly
“Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo“Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month's newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.”
Clara looked at the photo – the curved spoon, Timmy's smile, and Grandpa's young handwriting on the back: Timmy's first repair, age 7 Bes de her, fresh wood shav ngs were shining.“Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story beh nd it

Bridging the Digital Divide for the Elderly
In a world dominated by digital technology, the elderly often find themselves left behind.Considering this, our volunteer club launched an activity at Tianyi Community Center last week,focusing on helping them bridge the digital divide.
The activity began with group demonstrations on essential skills: making video calls, using mobile payments, and booking medical appointments online. Volunteers then provided personalized guidance. Through step-by-step instructions, even those hesitant with technology gradually gained confidence. One silver-haired lady, after successfully video-calling her granddaughter at college, kept thanking us with teary eyes.
This experience empowered the seniors to embrace the digital life. Despite their initial struggles, their eagerness to learn was inspiring. Every“I finally did it!” smile has reminded me that bridging this gap goes beyond goodwill - it's a shared mission to build a future where technology unites, not divides.

The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album's sketches of Timmy's curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands-wrinkled yet steady - shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice,“Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!”
“Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’ m coming to see you soon, Master– back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy's profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.
A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said,placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair - Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the oneGrandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book's empty February page now filled with March's growing demands.

W: I'm sorry to hear that. What's the problem
M:I'm not sure. I merely don't feel well.(12)
W: Maybe you just need a good night's sleep.
M:I don't think so. I'm sleeping very well. I just don't feel so good.(12)
W: I'd go to hospital if I were you.(13) You may be given something to stop it.
M: You' re probably right.

W: Hi Colin. Where are you going
M: Hi Janet. To the camera shop in town.
W: Which one
M: It must have been a long time since you went to town. There's only one camera shop these days.(14)
W: Really
M: Yes, the one on Dixon Street closed years ago. The one on Edgar Street survived until last year,(14) and the only one now is on Hatfield Street.
W: That's a shame. I suppose cameras aren't as popular these days. Nowadays you can take good pictures with a phone, so suddenly everybody is a photographer.
M: Most camera shops can't compete with Internet prices.(15) In fact, the same is true for other shops.
W: What are you going to buy
M: Some memory cards. There's a sale on today.
W: Do you still take photographs professionally (16)
M: Sometimes people ask for pictures of their kids, but usually I just take pictures of plants and animals for pleasure. I am doing a wedding on Saturday, though.(16)

Good morning. I am Bradley, assistant to the director James. (17) He is very busy at the moment preparing for the next scene, so if you have any questions, come to me rather than him.Trust me, I'm much more approachable. I believe for many of you this is the first time, so I'm going to give you a couple of tips and then explain what today's plan is. (18) For background actors, you want to make it look like you are talking and having a nice time, so smile. But,when you talk, you just have to move your lips. The microphones on set are very sensitive,so don't actually speak, just mouth the words. (19) For this scene, several of you will be sitting at tables as if you were in a restaurant. A few more of you will be standing by the bar. We also need three actors to look like waiters, so you three - Jack, Luke, and David, can you go to the costume department to get fitted for waiter uniforms (20) The rest of you, let's go to the make-up truck and get you all pretty.
