In the quiet twn f Greenfield, situated in the hills f upstate New Yrk, David Lee had built a life arund his art. His small studi in an ld Victrian huse was a sanctuary (庇护所) where he painted landscapes that captured (展现) the heart f the twn he lved. The walls were cvered with pieces f art, each ne reflecting his dedicatin and passin.
One crisp autumn evening, as the sun set, casting a glden glw ver the twn, David wrked n what he believed was his best piece yet. Lst in his wrk, he barely nticed a flash f light in the crner f his eye.
It was a neighbr wh first saw the smke. By the time David realized what was happening, the fire had spread thrugh half f his studi. He rushed utside, hrrified t see the flames (火焰) cnsuming everything he had wrked s hard fr. Within minutes, his studi was reduced t ashes.
The fllwing days were cluded with srrw. David wandered the streets f Greenfield, cnfused and with n purpse. Friends and neighbrs ffered their supprt, but nthing culd replace the years f wrk destryed. One evening, as he sat n a bench in the twn square, he nticed children drawing with chalk n the pavement. Their laughter and creativity cut thrugh his despair.
David realized his passin fr art wasn’t tied t the physical space f his studi. It was smething deeper within him. He decided t start ver, t rebuild his life and art anew.
With the help f his friends, David set up a small wrkspace in the cmmunity center. He began painting again, this time with renewed purpse. His first piece was an acknwledgment f Greenfield, capturing the twn’s resilience (坚韧). As he painted, he felt a sense f peace he hadn’t felt in weeks.
One day, while finishing a challenging piece, a yung girl apprached him. “What are yu painting?” she asked.
David smiled. “It’s a stry,” he said. “A stry f resilience and hpe.”
The girl ndded, her eyes reflecting the clrs n the painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said.
David felt warmth in his chest. He realized his art was abut mre than just paintings — it was abut cnnecting with thers and sharing his jurney. Frm then n, David painted nt nly fr himself but fr everyne wh needed a reminder f the beauty in the wrld. Thugh his studi had changed, his passin fr art had been renewed, and in that, he fund a new kind f resilience.
24. Hw did David feel after the fire destryed his studi?
A. Angry and bitter.B. Grateful and cntent.
C. Lst and empty.D. Anxius and regretful.
25. What is the significance f the children drawing n the pavement?
A. Their creativity helps David find jy again.
B. They are a reminder f the fire’s destructin.
C. They represent the future f art in Greenfield.
D. They shw hw the twn has frgtten abut David’s art.
26. What is the theme f David’s first new painting after the fire?
A. Renewal.B. Resilience.C. Peace.D. Passin.
27 What can we learn frm the passage?
A. The flash tday is the silence tmrrw.
B. The less yu expect, the mre yu appreciate.
C. The flame that burns yu may als light yur way.
D. The greatest radblcks are the nes yu cannt see.

The human being is a “scial animal,” as Aristtle suggested. We have a fundamental need t belng. Yet we find urselves in the middle f an epidemic f lneliness and islatin. Hw, then, might we encurage the feelings f cnnectedness that are s crucial t ur well-being?
Over the past several years, my clleagues and I have cnducted scientific studies suggesting that experiential purchases tend t bring peple mre happiness than material nes. In recent research, we investigated anther dwnstream cnsequence f spending n experiences rather than things: it can prmte a greater sense f scial cnnectin.
We cnducted a series f 13 experiments invlving 1,980 participants. We asked peple t think abut either experiential r material purchases they had made and then rate their thughts and feelings abut thse purchases n nine-pint scales. In sme f ur studies, peple reprted feeling mre cnnectin with smene wh had made the same experiential purchase than smene wh had made the same material purchase. This reflects the fact that experiential purchases are mre central t an individual’s identity: ur data shw that peple feel mre similar t and mre cnnectin with smene wh purchases the same experience as them because they believe this kind f cnsumptin tends t represent mre f ne’s true, essential sense f self.
These findings apply even when peple think abut hw their experiences differ. Knwing that anther persn has a better versin f what yu have can create a sense f scial distance. What we bserve hwever, is that this distance feels less wide when it cmes t experiential purchases cmpared with material nes.
We als discvered that experiential cnsumptin fsters (促进) a sense f scial cnnectedness mre bradly, nt just t thse wh have made a similar purchase. Peple wh reflected n experiences they had acquired — rather than material gds — reprted a brader sense f cnnectin t humanity.
Finally, we fund that after peple think abut a fulfilling experience, they express a greater desire t engage in scial activities than they d after they reflect n an imprtant pssessin. Experiences cnnect us with thers, and they prvide memries f such cnnectin that peple can revisit. These memries, in turn, can encurage engagement in even mre sciality.
One clear takeaway frm this research — like the many studies n experiential spending and happiness dne t date — is that peple wuld likely be wise t increase their spending n “ding” rather than “having.” But ur wrk pints t anther implicatin as well. Cmmunities culd benefit in many ways frm encuraging experiential pursuits. Plicymakers can supprt access t public parks, beaches and museums, fr example. Imprved funding fr the arts and perfrmance spaces can be a way fr cmmunities t ensure that shared experiences cntinue t bring peple tgether. Directing resurces tward mre cmmunity engagement might prmte imprvements in scietal well-being.
28. What can be learned abut experiential purchases?
A. They effectively prevent scial distancing.B. They prmte invlvement in scial events.
C. They allw peple t discver their true selves.D. They reduce the likelihd f scial cmparisn.
29. Accrding t the passage, plicymakers had better _______.
A. address the funding challenges f cmmunitiesB. advcate the imprtance f scial well-being
C. priritize the cnstructin f public spacesD. finance lcal cultural events and festivals
30. What is the purpse f this passage?
A. T argue against materialism in mdern sciety.
B. T suggest ways t reduce lneliness and islatin.
C. T cmpare the ecnmic value f gds and experiences.
D. T shw hw experiences bst cnnectin and well-being.

A theme at this year’s Wrld Ecnmic Frum (WEF) meeting was the perceived need t “accelerate breakthrughs in research and technlgy.” Sme f this discussin was mtivated by the climate emergency, sme by the pprtunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in varius cnversatins, it seemed t be taken fr granted that t address the wrld’s prblems, scientific research needs t mve faster.
The WEF meeting tk place just tw weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped dwn after cmplaints were made abut her plitical science schlarship. Gay’s trubles came after Stanfrd University President Marc Tessier Lavigne stepped dwn, after an internal investigatin cncluded that his neurscience research had “multiple prblems” and “fell belw custmary standards f scientific rigr.” Althugh it may be impssible t determine just hw widespread such prblems really are, it’s hard t imagine that the phenmenn f high-prfile schlars crrecting and withdrawing papers has nt had a negative impact n public trust in science and perhaps in experts bradly.
In recent years we’ve seen imprtant papers withdrawn because f questinable data r methds. In ne interesting case, Frances H. Arnld, wh shared the 2018Nbel Prize in Chemistry, vluntarily withdrew a paper when her lab was unable t reprduce her results — but after the paper had been published. In an pen aplgy, she stated that she was “a bit busy” when the paper was submitted and “did nt d my jb well.” Arnld’s hnesty is admirable, but it raises a questin: Are schlars at highly cmpetitive places such as Harvard and Standfrd rushing t publishing rather than taking the time t d their wrk right?
It’s impssible t answer this questin scientifically because there’s n scientific definitin f what cnstitutes “rushing”. But there’s little dubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under enrmus pressure t prduce results — and a lt f them — quickly. Hwever, nearly a century passed between bichemist Friedrich Miescher’s identificatin f the DNA mlecule and suggestin that it might be invlved in inheritance (遗传) and the clarificatin f its duble-helix (双螺旋) structure in the 1950s. And it tk just abut half a century fr gelgists and gephysicists t accept Alfred Wegener’s idea f cntinental drift (漂移).
There’s plenty f circumstantial evidence that scientists and ther schlars are pushing results ut far faster than they used t. One recent study put the number at mre than seven millin a year, cmpared with fewer than a millin as recently as 1980. Anther study fund 265 academic authrs — tw thirds f whm were in the medical and life sciences — published a paper every five days n average. The numbers suggest that the research wrld has priritized quantity ver quality. Researchers may need t slw dwn — nt speed up — if we are t prduce knwledge wrthy f trust.
31. What des the wrd “rigr” underlined in Paragraph 2 mst prbably mean?
A. Quickness and cnvenience.B. Flexibility and penness.
C. Strictness and precisin.D. Fame and ppularity.
32. DNA and cntinental drift are examples t demnstrate that _______.
A. gd science takes timeB. science advances with time
C. research acrss disciplines is neededD. breakthrughs seldm happen by chance
33. Which f the fllwing situatins can best reflect the authr’s cncern?
A. A researcher fails t prduce evidence fr his paper.
B. A university lses yung talent due t a lack f funding.
C. An editr verlks the errrs in a writer’s research methds.
D. A schlar publishes a paper with limited data t gain recgnitin.

In ur fast-paced, technlgy-driven wrld, the act f eating has transfrmed frm a mindful practice t an ften hurried and distracted (分心的) activity. Distracted eating, characterized by cnsuming fd while engaging in ther activities such as watching televisin, scrlling thrugh smartphnes, r wrking at a desk, is becming increasingly widespread. ____35____
The cmmn presence f digital devices and the cnstant demands f mdern life have cntributed t the rise f distracted eating. ____36____ Fr instance, ffice wrkers frequently eat lunch while replying t emails, and students snack during nline classes. This behavir is nt limited t any specific age grup.

Eating while distracted can impair digestin. The bdy needs t be in a relaxed state fr prper digestin, but multitasking can create a state f mild stress, affecting the digestive prcess.

第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
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。
If yu listen t sme self-imprvement lectures abut success, yu’ll hear a familiar saying: Hustle (忙碌) harder. It sunds like success is just a matter f willpwer and that the life f yur dreams is within reach. Many yung peple are buying int this mindset, spending every waking hur wrking tward ambitius gals, nly t find themselves wrn ut and unfulfilled.
Hustle culture prmises success, but it ften leads t burnut and disappintment. The truth is that success and fulfillment dn’t cme frm cnstant struggle. They cme frm smething deeper and mre sustainable: persistence (坚持).
Hustle culture praises big gals. But what the experts wn’t tell yu is that mst f thse gals require a mix f timing, luck, and smetimes even genetics. N matter hw hard yu hustle, success isn’t always within yur cntrl. Persistence culture, n the ther hand, takes a different apprach. Instead f fcusing n massive, high-risk gals, it emphasizes cnsistent effrt ver time. It encurages grwth, learning, and steady imprvement—factrs that are within yur cntrl.
Hustle culture fcuses n gals, ignring the prcess. It tells yu t chase success at all csts, even if that means ding things yu hate alng the way. Fr example, yu lve pdcasting (制作播客). Yu enjy the cnnectin with yur audience. But if yu fllw hustle culture, yur fcus shifts t prfit, audience grwth, and scial media engagement. T “succeed,” yu have t learn marketing strategies that yu dn’t actually enjy.
Persistence culture, in cntrast, priritizes the prcess itself. It asks: D yu enjy what yu’re ding? When yu lve the prcess, yu dn’t need external apprval t keep ging. Success becmes a byprduct f cnsistency and passin. Instead f measuring success by external factrs, it asks: Hw can I imprve? Maybe yur pdcast isn’t getting millins f dwnlads, but are yu becming a better interviewer?
Are yu develping new skills? These are the measures that matter because they’re within yur cntrl.
40. Hw d many yung peple feel after fllwing the “hustle harder” mindset?

41. Where d success and fulfillment cme frm?
