I started walking backward fr n apparent reasn. I was simply waving gdbye t my
daughters when it hit me t take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thught I culd walk all the way hme that way. After all, the cntradictin f mving frward by ging backward seemed engaging and wrth explring.
The first prblem was practical. Snw is a pain even fr regular walking, s my pace
slwed dwn cnsiderably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in cmparisn. Hw silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry t get smewhere. Fr example, I ften arrive at places lng
after my bdy gets there. Smetimes I reach my daughters’ schl, but my mind is still at hme, wndering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, hwever, frced me t adjust the pace f my bdy t my mind.
The next thing had t d with visin. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible.
Here, yu use ther senses: yu hear the car appraching, yu sense the unevenness f the grund, and yu ntice the change in the firmness f the snw. Yu activate an entire set f skills we
usually dn’t use because f ur dependence n sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discvery I hadn’t anticipated.
Because f my addictin t flish ideas, I decided t cntinue my backward walking fr
the rest fthe day. And I quickly realized smething bvius: the path I enjyed mst was the ne I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way t lk at life: mving tward a destinatin withut ever frgetting where yu’ve been, r hw far yu’ve cme. Lking back is always gd fr self-value. There’s n way t lk at yesterday and nt feel better: fr the illness that didn’t kill yu, r the happy childhd days that still make yu smile.
4 ．What interested the authr in the first paragraph?
A ．Finding a new rute back hme. B ．Mving frward in a different manner.
C ．Engaging himself in deep thinking. D ．Seeing his daughters ff every mrning.
5 ．What did the authr realize n the way back hme?
A ．We dn’t need t live a rushed life.
B ．We need t stay fcused at wrk.
C ．We shuld spend mre time with family.
D ．We shuldn’t cmpare urselves t thers.
6 ．Hw did the authr vercme the visin prblem?
A ．He studied a set f new skills.
B ．He depended n his memry.
C ．He made full use f ther senses.
D ．He fllwed his sense f directin.
7 ．What message des the authr seem t deliver in the last paragraph?
A ．Childhd is the best part in life.
B ．One ught t learn t frgive himself.
C ．It’s imprtant t find yur self-value.
D ．It’s inspiring t reflect n the past.

Cristian Rnald sits n his bed, reminding himself that “sleep is the mst imprtant tl that I have,” and that a disciplined rutine shapes his perfrmance. The fitness-tracking band n his wrist reflects the clse attentin he gives t his bdy. But this nce-specialized habit has
gradually mved beynd prfessinal sprts, becming part f the lives f rdinary peple wh want a clearer sense f their health cnditin.
Many wearables n the market prvide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physilgical
(生理的) data, sufficient fr general everyday mnitring. Sme advanced mdels, hwever, g
further. They shw hw habits like late-night eating r drinking directly influence recvery and
readiness fr the next day. Rather than ffering separate data pints, these devices track hw small changes build up ver time, revealing behaviral patterns that shape verall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmre says wearables have becme essential tls fr tp athletes, wh nw cnsult their data as naturally as they tie their bts. Yet nt everyne welcmes this
shift tward cnstant mnitring. Sprts dietitian Jess McGregr warns that the expectatin t
“train like an athlete” can push rdinary peple tward perfectinism and anxiety. The urge t
imprve everything — sleep scres, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center arund numbers. While these numbers ffer insight, they cannt replace subjective awareness f energy, emtins r recvery needs. “Everything is being digitized and reduced t numbers,” McGregr
says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin t
shadw ur days, the watch n ur wrist can make us frget the bdy’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walstn. He adds, “Living a healthy life still means adding enjyable habits, like evening walks r taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedm they bring, rather than
simply chasing device targets.”
8 ．What can we learn abut fitness tracking frm paragraph 1?
A ．It is cmmn amng rdinary peple.
B ．It is adpted t treat sleep disrders.
C ．It cntrls sprts training rutines.
D ．It guarantees tp athletic perfrmance.
9 ．What makes advanced wearables different frm ther prducts?
A ．They are designed specifically fr night eating.
B ．They reveal cnnectins between habits and health.
C ．They ffer separate and independent data pints.
D ．They prvide rich and slid physilgical infrmatin.
10 ．What is Jess McGregr wrried abut regarding using wearables?
A ．Reduced enjyment in daily rutines. B ．Lack f timely prfessinal guidance.
C ．Mental pressure frm chasing numbers. D ．Physical injuries frm training t hard.
11 ．What des Dr. Zachary Walstn suggest peple d?
A ．Abandn fitness tracking devices. B ．Predict bdy respnses frm data.
C ．Listen t yur physical signals. D ．Set clear targets fr daily exercise.

Arund Christmas, 50-year-ld New Yrker Hlly Jespersen felt unwell but hesitated t see a dctr. She turned t ChatGPT, which advised her against visiting. Days later, with a high fever and headaches, again using the chatbt t decide when, she finally went t urgent care and was
diagnsed with influenza A.
Hlly is far frm alne. Accrding t OpenAI, ver 40 millin daily health-related enquiry, with 230 millin weekly. In January, it annunced ChatGPT Health, allwing users t uplad
medical recrds fr custmized (定制的) supprt. The cmpany stresses it is meant t “supprt, nt replace” medical care, nt fr diagnsis r treatment, but t help with everyday questins and pattern recgnitin.
Yet cncerns arise. Family physician Dr. Alexa Mieses Malchuk warns that ChatGPT, like WebMD, priritizes being helpful ver accurate. A 2023 study fund ChatGPT’s cancer treatment plans cntained many errrs, sme hard even fr experts t detect. Hwever, newer research n
cln cancer shwed its answers n symptms and preventin were highly accurate, suggesting LLMs (大型语言模型) may assist patient educatin but nt clinical decisins.
Beynd accuracy, psychlgists highlight anxiety risks. A 2013 study cnfirmed that nline symptm searches can intensify health anxiety, especially fr thse intlerant f uncertainty.
Clinical psychlgist Elizabeth Sadck ntes that ChatGPT, always available and affirming, fuels reassurance-seeking (寻求慰藉) behavir, trapping users in a cycle f anxiety. Fr sme patients, limiting ChatGPT use may nw be part f treatment.
Privacy is anther puzzle. Bimedical infrmatics prfessr Bradley Malin acknwledges OpenAI’s security effrts, but stresses ChatGPT Health falls utside HIPAA regulatin. Patients may unknwingly lse legal prtectins when their data flws frm secured medical recrds t an unregulated third party.
Yet sme see value. Dermatlgist Kumar views ChatGPT Health as educatinal, clarifying
terms like sunscreen types, nt diagnstic. He distinguishes it frm WebMD’s curated, reviewed cntent, while ChatGPT’s AI may mislead.
Thus, ChatGPT Health enters America’s brken system as a duble-edged swrd: a rund-the-clck assistant that may empwer (赋权) patients, yet risks misinfrming,
ver-reassuring, and expsing them t unregulated data practices.
12 ．Why des OpenAI launch ChatGPT Health?
A ．T replace medical care ttally. B ．T prvide cnsultatin timely.
C ．T treat the patients early. D ．T diagnse diseases quickly.
13 ．What can we learn frm paragraphs 3-5?
A ．ChatGPT may lead t mre risks than benefits.
B ．ChatGPT is always available, helpful and accurate.
C ．Psychlgists advise peple nt t use ChatGPT.
D ．Peple will have n privacy when using ChatGPT.
14 ．Hw des Kumar find ChatGPT?
A ．It teaches patients sme medical terms.
B ．It can be used as an assistant t patients.
C ．It can help mre patients cure diseases.
D ．It has mre advantages than disadvantages.
15 ．What is the authr’s attitude tward ChatGPT Health?
A ．Enthusiastic and supprtive. B ．Cautius and ptimistic.
C ．Disapprving and negative. D ．Critical and lyal.
第二节 七选五(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
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。
Peple favr humr, as it lights up daily mments, eases awkwardness and makes every
interactin warm and enjyable. This magic f humr desn’t just wrk in daily life; it als shines in the field f science, especially nline. 16 .
Firstly, humr simplifies tugh scientific knwledge. 17 . Fr example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analgy abut “machines learning like clumsy tddlers”
makes abstract ideas easy fr nn-prfessinal grups t understand. 18 Scientists
sharing clever and humrus stries abut labratry experiments n scial media ften attract mre interactins than dry academic psts. Additinally, humr humanizes scientists, as seen in ppular science lectures where light-hearted jkes help audiences feel clser t researchers.
19 The hidden risks deserve ur attentin. If the cntent itself is untrue, humr can even replace facts, leading the audience t frm wrng pinins abut scientific knwledge just based n the amusing psts they see. Overusing sarcasm r negative humr als has the
ppsite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lse the public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Prper humr use requires a balance between vivid expressin and prfessinal precisin. It shuld neither vershadw the cre scientific infrmatin nr be s shallw that it lses
seriusness. 20 Scientists wh master this balance can effectively narrw the divide with the public, making science mre welcming and ppular.
A ．It is believed that humr needs t be used with great care in such cmmunicatin.
B ．Overuse harms prfessinalism.
C ．It als bsts audience engagement effectively.
D ．It helps break the impressin f scientists being cld and distant.
E ．A little humr can greatly enhance scientists’ cmmunicatin effect.
F ．Humr in scientific cmmunicatin is a duble-edged swrd, thugh.
G ．It’s a helper in making cmplex cncepts understandable t rdinary peple.

61 ．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。
The English writing cmpetitin drew near. Jack, wh had always struggled t put his thughts int cherent wrds, determined t turn t AI fr help.
He simply input the given theme f the cmpetitin, added a few key wrds, and hit “generate”. Much t his delight, in less than 5 minutes, the screen lit up. A vivid and
well-structured essay was presented. Jack was amazed by hw effrtlessly the well-chsen wrds flwed n the page. Withut a secnd thught, Jack signed his name and submitted the piece,
ignring the tiny vice f guilt frm the bttm f his heart.
His essay std ut amng hundreds f entries and was selected t represent the schl in the municipal-level cntest. When his English teacher, Ms. Cathy, called him t her ffice, Jack’s heart skipped a beat. With a gentle but firm tne, Ms. Cathy lked straight int his eyes and
asked, “Jack, I need yu t tell me the truth — did yu write this essay entirely n yur wn? ”
The questin hung in the air, heavy and inescapable. Jack’s mind went blank fr a mment. The thught f lsing the chance t cmpete, f being laughed at by his classmates fr cheating,
verwhelmed him. Taking a shaky breath, he kept his eyes ff the teacher and ndded, “Yes, Ms. Cathy. Every wrd is mine. ”
Ms. Cathy ndded, seemingly satisfied, and patted his shulder, “That’s great. Yur
genuine hard wrk will pay ff. This essay has a unique perspective, and I’m sure it will shine at the municipal cntest. ” But Jack didn’t feel any jy. On the cntrary, a sense f guilt weighed
heavily n him. That night, he tssed and turned in bed, unable t fall asleep. The lie he had tld kept eching in his ears. He thught abut Ms. Cathy’s trusting eyes, abut the meaning f the
cmpetitin, and abut hw prud he wuld have felt if he had written the essay himself. He was trn between the fear f being expsed and the desire t d the right thing.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: The next day, Jack went t the teacher’s ffice.

1 ．B 2 ．A 3 ．C
本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了国际语言学奥林匹克竞赛（IOL）的赛事背景、样题示例、比赛规则及奖项设置等相关信息。
1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“T cmpete at the IOL, n special knwledge is required, nly basic language cncepts, lgic, patience, and creative thinking.(参加 IOL 比赛不需要特殊知识，只需要基本的语言概念、逻辑、耐心和创造性思维。)” 以及样题的解题过程可知，解决样题谜题的关键在于逻辑推理能力。故选 B。
2．细节理解题。根据 Cntest Rules 部分“The individual cntest invlves slving five prblems in six hurs, whereas the team cntest features ne prblem with tw hurs less.(个人赛是在 6 小时内解决 5 道题，而团队赛是解决 1 道题，时间少 2 小时。)”可知，个人赛和团队赛的不同之处在于比赛时长。故选 A。
3 ．细节理解题。根据 Awards 部分“In the individual cntest, the number f gld, silver, and
brnze medals awarded shall be in the rati1: 2: 3, with the ttal number f medals being between ne quarter and ne third f the cntestants.(在个人赛中，金牌、银牌和铜牌的颁发数量比例为1:2:3，且奖牌总数应在参赛人数的四分之一到三分之一之间。)”可知，若有 240 名个人参赛者，则奖牌总数应在 240 乘以四分之一等于 60 ，和 240 乘以三分之一等于 80 之间。在这个区间的为 72 。故选 C。
4 ．B 5 ．A 6 ．C 7 ．D

backward seemed engaging and wrth explring.(毕竟，倒退着前行这种反差感十分有趣，值得亲身去体验探索。)”可知，以与众不同的倒退方式前行吸引了作者。
5 ．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Hw silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry t get
smewhere.(我们总是匆忙赶路奔赴目的地，这样的生活方式实属荒唐。)”可知，作者在途中意识到人们不必终日步履匆匆，不应过匆忙的生活。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, yu use ther senses: yu hear the car appraching, yu sense the unevenness f the grund, and yu
