A father and sn went t the kite flying festival. The yung sn became very happy seeing the sky filled with clrful kites. He asked his father t get him a kite and a thread with a rller s he culd fly a kite t. S, the father went t the shp at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a rll f thread fr his sn.
The sn started t fly a kite. Sn, his kite 1 high up in the sky. The sn said, “Father, it seems that the thread is hlding up a kite frm flying higher. If we cut ff the thread, the kite will be 2 and will g flying even higher. Can we cut it ff?” S, the father cut the thread frm a rller. The kite started t g a little higher. That made the sn very 3 .
But then, slwly, the kite started t cme dwn. And sn it fell n the terrace f the unknwn building. The yung sn was surprised asked his father, “Father, I thught that after cutting ff the thread, the kite culd freely fly higher. But why did it fall dwn?”
The father explained, “Sn, at the 4 f life that we live in, we ften think there are sme things we are tied t and that they are 5 us frm ging higher. The thread was nt hlding the kite frm ging higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slwed dwn and when the wind 6 , yu helped the kite g up higher in a prper directin thrugh the thread. And when we cut the thread, it fell dwn withut the 7 yu were prviding fr the kite thrugh the thread.” The sn realized his mistake.
Smetimes we feel that we can 8 quickly and reach new heights if we were nt tied up with ur family, ur hme. But we 9 t realize that ur family, ur lved nes help us survive the tugh time in ur lives with their supprt and encurage us t reach higher heights in life. They are nt 10 us, but are supprting us.

A
The "lng", cmmnly referred t as the Chinese dragn, is a legendary creature, deeply embedded in Chinese culture, mythlgy, and flklre. Unlike its Western cunterpart, 1 is ften prtrayed as a malevlent and destructive frce, the lng symblizes pwer, excellence, gd frtune, and harmny in Chinese traditins. It is revered as a natinal ttem and is ften assciated with natural phenmena such as rain, strms, and water, 2 (reflect) its rle as a bringer f life and prsperity. The lng 13 (be) a central mtif in Chinese civilizatin fr thusands f years, influencing art, literature, festivals, and cultural practices.

The best way t create lasting change in yur life is thrugh habits. Habits keep yu ging even when mtivatin fades. The key 15 success is t start small and stay cnsistent. Big gals lead t burnut, s begin with tiny, 16 (manage) actins—like a shrt daily walk instead f a full run. Once these simple habits becme autmatic, yu can gradually build mre. Over time, these small changes layer tgether t shape yur lifestyle, turning actins int part f 17 yu are. The real pwer lies in steady, natural grwth, making lng - term prgress easier.
C
We usually link wisdm t age, 18 time alne desn't bring it — experience may bst judgment but als breed prejudice r vercnfidence. Unlike intelligence r expertise, wisdm is hard 19 (identify): it shws in hesitatin, silence and cautius inactin instead f decisive wrds and deeds. Philsphers acrss ages all valued wisdm as ratinal practice in reality rather than abstract brilliance.

Thugh wisdm is quiet, belatedly recgnized, we shuld pursue it fr life 20 (live) frward while understd backward.

My father lved lists. Over 25 years, he recrded 539 bks he read and 322 episdes f Bkntes n C - SPAN, which he watched every Sunday night. He als kept grcery lists fr his mini - fridge — Pepsi, cffee, heavy cream — and daily tasks. These ntes filled small ntebks, always near his reading chair. He wrte them until December 31, 2004, when cancer stpped him. After his death, I gathered the ntebks int a bx. Fr years, I culdn’t bear t pen them.
Brn in 1927 in Lwell, Massachusetts, my father was the sn f a leather factry wrker and grandsn f an Irish immigrant wh cleaned hrse manure frm the streets. Despite his humble beginnings, he was brilliant. After a summer in the leather factry, he graduated high schl at 16 and went n t Bstn Cllege. He served in Wrld War II and later earned degrees in physics.
Then he wrked at MIT's Lincln Labratry, mved his family frm Lwell t Bstn, and sent his kids t private clleges. It seemed he had left Lwell behind — but nt s. Deep dwn, he saw himself simply as a wrking - class Lwell kid wh had just read a lt f bks.
He didn't travel much, and didn't feel the need. When asked if he regretted nt seeing the wrld, he defended himself: “I've sailed the Atlantic in strmy winds, climbed the Himalayas, and stared dwn wild animals.” Then he added, “I read.” Bks were his wrld. Frm them, he learned t survive landslides, shark attacks, and even grilla attacks. He had what he called “a rich inner life” — and it was true.
Shrtly befre his death, he pened a small purple ntebk and began ne last list. It described details frm 1930s Lwell — things lst in time. Twenty years later, I fund it. In his flwing handwriting, Dad reached back t Lwell — a time lng gne, nw captured nly in memry. Lst and nly in memry — that was hw I was experiencing Dad nw. Squinting my eyes, I saw nt just the city he lved, but the quiet, extrardinary man I called Dad.
24. Why are the details f the father's lists mentined in Paragraph 1?
A. T imply his fear f frgetting.
B. T shw his lve fr literature and cuisine.
C. T reveal his reliance n cntrl.
D. T reflect his rdered and thughtful life.
25. What des the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. He stayed humble and rted.B. He struggled with his identity.
C. His success riginated frm his rts.D. He felt trn abut his backgrund.
26. What d the father's qutes in Para. 3 mainly reveal?
A. His dream f glbal travel.B. His pride in inner jurneys.
C. His desire fr real adventure.D. His escape frm physical wrld.
27. What is the main theme f the passage?
A. Pursuit and actin.B. Lss and regret.C. Ambitin and escape.D. Memry and identity

Predictive cding, a thery riginally develped in neurscience and machine learning, is changing ur understanding f the human brain. It prpses that the brain is nt a simple receiver f sensry infrmatin but an active “predictin machine”. Instead f prcessing every detail frm the beginning, ur brains cnstantly make mdels f the wrld and guess what we will see, hear, r feel next. The difference between these predictins and the actual sensry input — termed the “predictin errr” — is the nly infrmatin the brain needs t change its internal mdels. This efficient system explains why we can easily recgnize a friend's face in a crwd r understand a sentence even with backgrund nise.
Hwever, this smart efficiency cmes with cgnitive trade - ffs. A cre idea f predictive cding is that perceptin is in its nature a cntrlled false image, heavily shaped by what we already believe. This can lead t built - in biases. Fr instance, in a famus experiment, participants shwn a nt clear image f a bicycle were later mre likely t wrngly recgnize similar but nt present bjects like unicycles, because their brain's predictin — based n the cmmn idea “wheeled vehicle” — was strnger than the unclear sensry data. Such findings challenge the simple view f perceptin as an bjective camera, suggesting instead that what we “see” is a best guess made by ur neural system.
The effects g beynd ptical illusins (视觉幻觉) int scial cgnitin. Research shws that
steretypes and cultural expectatins wrk as pwerful prir beliefs within the predictive cding system. When we meet smene frm a grup we have ideas abut, ur brain may reduce predictin errrs by ignring infrmatin that ges against ur expectatins, thereby making strnger pre - existing biases. This neural way f wrking prvides a physical basis fr "cnfirmatin bias," shwing hw ur search fr cgnitive efficiency can accidentally cntinue scial misunderstandings.
Imprtantly, the brain's predictive system is nt a fixed fate. Neurplasticity (神经可塑性) makes sure that with cntinued, attentin - driven cntact t new and ppsite evidence, the brain's mdels can be changed. This is the scientific basis f learning and mindfulness practices. By purpsely paying attentin t predictin errrs — thse mments when reality surprises us — we can make ur internal mdels change, leading t mre crrect perceptins and less prejudice. Thus, predictive cding nt nly explains the beginnings f ur biases but als shws a way tward vercming them, describing the mind as a changing, changeable system rather than a fixed recrder f reality.
28. Accrding t the predictive cding thery, the primary functin f the "predictin errr" is t __.
A. generate entirely new sensry mdels frm scratch
B. create persistent illusins that dminate ur perceptin
C. act as the main surce f sensry infrmatin the brain receives
D. serve as the nly signal fr the brain t crrect its internal predictins
29. The experiment invlving the unclear bicycle image is mentined t illustrate __.
A. the superirity f human visual prcessingB. hw prir beliefs can change perceptual judgment
C. the difficulty in recgnizing uncmmn bjectsD. the cmplete unreliability f human senses
30. Which f the fllwing wuld be the mst suitable title fr the passage?
A. Predictin and Perceptin: Hw the Brain Cnstructs Reality
B. The Passive Brain: A Receiver f Infrmatin
C. The End f Steretypes: A Neurscience Perspective
D. Sensry Overlad: The Brain's Prcessing Challenge
D
Public distrust f scientists has develped partly frm the blurring f bundaries between science and technlgy, between discvery and manufacture. Mst gvernments, perhaps all gvernments, justify public spending n scientific research in terms f the ecnmic benefits the scientific enterprise has brught in the past and will bring in the future. Pliticians remind their vters f the splendid machines "ur scientists" have invented, the new drugs t relieve ld disrders, and the new surgical equipment and techniques by which previusly unmanageable cnditins may nw be treated and lives saved. At the same time, the pliticians demand f scientists that they tailr their research t "ecnmic needs", and that they give higher pririty t research prpsals that are "near the market" and can be translated int the greatest return n investment in the shrtest time. Dependent n pliticians fr much f their funding, scientists have little chice but t cmply. Like the rest f us, they are members f a sciety that rates the creatin
f wealth as the greatest pssible gd. Many have reservatins, but keep them t themselves in what they cnsider as a climate hstile t the pursuit f understanding fr its wn sake and the idea f an inquiring, creative spirit.
In such circumstances n ne shuld be t hard n peple wh are suspicius f cnflicts f interest. When we learn that the distinguished prfessr assuring us f the safety f a particular prduct hlds a cnsultancy with the cmpany making it, we cannt be blamed fr wndering whether his fee might clud his prfessinal judgment. Even if the prfessr hlds n cnsultancy with any firm, sme peple may still distrust him because f his assciatin with thse wh d, r at least wnder abut the surce f sme f his research funding
This attitude can have damaging effects. It questins the integrity f individuals wrking in a prfessin that hnrs intellectual hnesty as the supreme virtue, and plays int the hands f thse wh wuld like t discredit scientists by representing them as crruptible. This makes it easier t dismiss all scientific prnuncements, but especially thse made by the scientists wh present themselves as "experts". The scientist mst likely t understand the safety f a nuclear reactr, fr example, is a nuclear engineer, and a nuclear engineer is mst likely t be emplyed by the nuclear industry. If a nuclear engineer declares that a reactr is unsafe, we believe him, because clearly it is nt t his advantage t lie abut it. If he tells us it is safe, n the ther hand, we distrust him, because he may well be prtecting the emplyer wh pays his salary.
31. What is the chief cncern f mst gvernments when it cmes t scientific research?
A. The reductin f public expenditure.B. Quick ecnmic returns.
C. The budget fr a research prject.D. Supprt frm the vters.
32. Why wn't scientists cmplain abut the gvernment's plicy cncerning scientific research?
A. They realize they wrk in an envirnment hstile t the pure pursuit f knwledge.
B. They think cmpliance with gvernment plicy is in the interests f the public.
C. They are accustmed t keeping their pinins t themselves.
D. They knw it takes patience t win supprt frm the public.
33. Peple are suspicius f the prfessinal judgment f scientists because ______.
A. their prnuncements ften turn ut t be wrng
B. sme f them d nt give pririty t intellectual hnesty
C. smetimes they hide the surce f their research funding
D. they culd be influenced by their link with the prject cncerned
34. The authr says that public distrust f scientists can have damaging effects because ______.
A. it may wear ut the enthusiasm f scientists fr independent research
B. scientists themselves may dubt the value f their research findings
C. peple will nt believe scientists even when they tell the truth
D. it makes things difficult fr scientists t seek research funds

The anxiety abut the cnsequences f generative AI is munting. Kristalina Gergieva, head f IMF, has warned f a jb-crushing "tsunami". Jamie Din, a leading figure in American finance, says gvernments shuld ban lay-ffs if it "saves sciety".
Yet s far labr markets seem untrubled. In America the number f white - cllar jbs has gne up by 3 millin since ChatGPT was launched, while blue - cllar jbs have stayed flat. It excels at sme tasks but then cnfidently sputs nnsense in thers. This unpredictability means cmpanies need t spend time wrking ut where t apply AI. Mrever, business prcesses dn't change vernight. Electricity was first harnessed cmmercially in the 1880s, but tk 40 t 50 years t generate prductivity gains in factries. 36
This frictin shuld be gd news fr thse wrrying abut the speed f technlgical change. The time intervals between inventin and diffusin can be used t wrk ut hw t help thse mst at the risk f being displaced.
______ AI tls culd make these rles mre prductive, prfitable and even mre enjyable: think f a dctr liberated frm paperwrk. And new technlgy tends t create jbs. Already there is a rise in white - cllar jbs that are s new they have n label in the statistics. Yet sme rles als lk dangerusly expsed t autmatin. Much back - ffice wrk invlves simple tasks and fllwing a script. Yung peple in entry - level psitins are ften asked t crunch data, r summarize reprts—precisely the srt f things AIs excel at.
What t d? Unlike factry wrk r mining, back - ffice and entry - level jbs are nt cncentrated in cmpany twns. 37 But gvernments must als encurage mvement by keeping labr markets flexible, rather than barring lay - ffs. Educatin will need a majr update t include AI instructin and the cmplementary skills it demands.
The biggest mistake wuld be t stp hiring yung peple altgether. That wuld chke ff the pipeline fr future talent and rb businesses f AI natives. 39 They shuld prvide fewer repetitive, lw - skill tasks and mre wrk centered n judgment and critical analysis. They shuld als ffer speedier rtatins acrss the business s yung emplyees gain insights that AI cannt replicate.
Disruptin and jb lsses will be unavidable. Such is the nature f technlgical prgress. But there is still time t cushin the blw. It shuld nt be wasted.
A. The curse f AI is uncertain, bviusly.
B. New pprtunities shuld therefre be easier t find.
C. One reasn fr the slw impact f AI technlgy is its “uneven skill set”
D. Instead, cmpanies shuld rethink the type f wrk they ffer yung peple.
E. Many jbs require skills that are hard t autmate, such as judgment r empathy.
F. Emplyment has risen even in areas that have been keen adpters, such as cding.
G. This time, t, cmpanies must think abut hw t encurage wrkers t use AI and mitigate the prblems it pses.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
With sciety's high pressures, it's understandable that individuals prefer t hide their weak pints—but ding s cmes at a cst.
I learned that lessn when I participated in a hiking expeditin. As a new hiker, I struggled. The trip was difficult t me even withut needing t carry my heavy camping packs. I was slwed dwn, yet I refused t tell my teammates in hpes that I wuld seem perseverant. T my delight and surprise, ne f the mre active members requested that we stp fr a break. I quickly realized I
wasn't the nly ne hiding my weaknesses after nticing the rest f the team's apparent relief.
Fr many f us, authenticity, r behaving as ne's true self in daily life, is quite challenging. As scial beings, we have learned t adapt and fit int ur envirnment, making it challenging t display wh we are at times. Yet, the advantage f authenticity is evident, driving its recent ppularity amng thught leaders. Authenticity even imprved my hiking experience—the mment my grup admitted t ur shrtcmings was when we started wrking better as a team. S, can being urselves nt nly help us wrk better, but help thse wh wrk arund us?
The truth is, it can.
Researchers have fund that nt nly did authentic wrkers have higher wrk engagement and lwer wrk fatigue, but their teammates had the same results, regardless f whether they were genuine themselves. The results suggest that the benefits f authenticity g beynd the individual, and spread t teammates as well. S, we can imprve ur teammates’ wrk behavir by merely being urselves.
Why des authenticity bst ur teammates? This is because authentic teammates d nt priritize prtecting themselves at the cst f their wrk r relatinships. Instead, they recgnize the interests f bth themselves and thers when making decisins. This allws thse they wrk with t feel safe. By fcusing less n appearing hard - wrking in hpes t get ahead — and mre n trying t be better all - rund individuals — authentic teammates can make a great impact n their wrk envirnment.
40. Hw did the authr feel when ne team member asked fr a rest during the hiking?
41. Why is it hard fr peple t display their true selves?
42. Decide which part f the fllwing statement is wrng. Underline it and explain why.
Authenticity bsts ur teammates because authentic members feel safe while at wrk.
43. Apart frm what is mentined in the passage, what ther benefit(s) d yu think authenticity can bring t us? (In abut 40 wrds)
