What do you eat when you need comfort? The answer varies depending on where you’re from, but ifs hkely some form of broth (肉汤),served steaming in a bowl.
Across continents, broths are woven into cultural and familial memory. They rarely command attention on their own-yet they form the backbone of countless cuisines.
For Dara Klein, a chef in London, broth connects the threads between her early childhood memories in Italy and her life’s work. In Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, tortellini in brodo is a Christmas tradition. Families gather to shape the pasta by hand while the broth simmers. “Italians are introduced to broth very early in life/5 Klein says. “People connect to it deeply.55
Zoey Xinyi Gong, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) food therapist, remembers her grandmother’s chicken soup with goji benies. “There’s always a soup for every meal,“ Gong says. “A meal is not complete without soup.” In TCM, which dates back to the 2nd century BC, broth-based soups help maintain thebody’syin and yang一a balance essential for health.
Chicken soup, in particular, has long been associated with recovery. Korea’s samgye-tang is eaten during the hottest summer days as a restorative meal. Greece’s avgolemono combines chicken broth withegg, lemon and rice. Mexico’s caldo de polio is a sustaining everydaysoup.
Scientific research into broth’s benefits is ongoing. Some studies suggest it may help reduce inflammation and ease cold symptoms. However, many sweeping health claims sunounding bone broth remain contested, and its benefits are often overstated in popular wellness culture.
Gong recalls being shocked when bone broth became a trendy health product in New York. “They were selling it at coffee shops for $10 for little cups,“ she says. “But we’ve been drinking that for a very long time in China.^^
Whether simmered for survival, wellness or celebration, one thing seems universal: In kitchens everywhere, someone is still tending the pot.
24.What does Dara Klein say about broth in Italianculture?
A.It is a recentcooking invention.B. It is only served during Christmas.
C. It was first documented in royal courts. D. It has deep emotional and traditional roots.
25.What can be infened about soup in Chinese culture from Gong’s words and TCMprinciples?

B.It is only consumed when someone is feelingunwell.
C.It is valued as a tool for maintaining physicalharmony.
D.It has been replaced by modem medicine in recentyears.

B.One man’s meat is another man’spoison.
C.The way to a man’s heart is through hisstomach.
D.A spoonful of comfort——across lands andtongues.
Table tennis is a sport that requires fast reaction times as the ball velocity ( 速 度 )can exceed 20 m/s in high-level games, and the time between shots is often less than 0.5s. The spin (高速旋转),that is, the angular velocity of the ball, can reach 1,000 rad/s, which greatly affects the ball’s trajectory (轨迹)and its response when bouncing on the table and racket. Spin is used to make shots harder to return or to gain a tactical advantage. Responding effectively requires expert players to master a range of skills for tracking, reacting to, and generating high-speed, high-spin shots.
Since 1983, various table tennis robots have tackled this challenge in simplified settings, using ball launchers, reduced court coverage and excluding either robot or human serves. Crucially, the role of spin has often been ignored, although it is an important component of competitive human play.
Ace, a table tennis robot developed by Sony, a Japanese company, is specifically designed to break through these limitations. Equipped with an advanced perception system using event-based vision sensors and a control system powered by deep reinforcement learning, Ace becomes the first real-world table tennis AI agent competitive with human athletes.
In April 2025, Ace competed against five elite players (defined as competitive athletes with more than 10 years of intensive training) and two professional players (defined as athletes competing in officially recognized professional leagues, specifically the Japanese T. League), following International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) rules. Against the elite players, Ace secured three victories out of five matches, winning a total of seven games out of thirteen played. Against the professional players, Ace lost both matches, though it managed to win one game out of the sevenplayed.
Observing a shot played by Ace, Kinjiro Nakamura, a table tennis expert and participant in the 1992 Olympics, commented:”….no one else would have been able to do that. I didn’t think it was possible. But the fact that it was possible, means that there is a possibility that a human could do it too.”
28.What do we know aboutspin?
A.It speeds uptheball.B. It makes the ball lighter.
C. It shortensreaction time.D. It changes the ball’s path and bounce.
29.What key problems has Acesolved?
A.Having high cost and lackingopponents.
B.Using unrealistic conditions and ignoringspin.
C.Moving slowly and lacking real-timeadjustment.
D.Having limited coverage and responding poorly to high-speedshots.
30.What is paragraph 4 mainlyabout?
|
A. Ace’s competition results. C. Rules followed in the matches. 31.Why is Nakamura5 s commentmentioned? A. To say humans never did that. C. To highlight Ace’s amazing performance. |
B. Types of Ace’s opponents. D. Ace’s technical weaknesses. B. To prove Ace beats all professions. D. To show that robots could replace humans. |
D
While the term “flood“ commonly brings to mind images of rushing water or overflowing riverbanks, providing a formal definition of the phenomenon proves surprisingly challenging.
A widely cited definition is provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),which characterizes a flood as “the overflowing of normal confines of a stream or water body”. However, this definition is problematic. Specifically, it presupposes a clear understanding of “normal”, yet whatcountsasnormal dependson value-basedchoices:the timescale, locationand rarity threshold(稀有度阈值)
.For instance, a knee-deep pool in a wetland might be normal, but the same water in a street could be called a flood.
To address this problem, a two-tier framework is proposed. At the first level, physical floods are defined. These are pools or water fluxes beyond a rarity threshold that is set based on values (e. g. , an event with a return period of one hundred years). Even this step already involves human judgment, because someone has to decide what counts as “rare enough”. At the second level, anthropocentric floods (human centered floods) are defined. These are physical floods judged as desirable or undesirable based on personal or social values. A flood that enriches soil may be seen as good by a farmer but bad by a resident who is forced to move away.
This reliance on values creates interventional ambiguity:when values conflict, it becomes unclear whether to intervene. For example, protecting human life suggests action, while economic concerns may delay it. Recognizing this ambiguity helps explain why some flood-prone areas see no engineered solutions despite apparent risk.
In conclusion, it is argued that floods cannot be defined on the basis of physics alone. Value judgments 一 assessments of how things ought to be-are inescapable. The framework aims to make these hidden choices explicit, fostering clearer communication and better decisions.
32.Why is the IPCC’s definition!unsatisfactory?
A.It only coversoverflowing water.B. It uses wrong rarity measuring ways.
C. It fails to explain differentwater cases.D. It ignores subjective factors in standards.
33.What is TRUE about the two-tierframework?
A.Anthropocentric floods are moreobjective.
B.Physical floods involve no humanjudgment.
C.The rarity threshold is set by personalvalues.
D.A flood must be rare to be judged good orbad.
34.The underlined term “interventional ambiguity“ most likely refersto.
A.hesitation to act due to value conflicts B. confusion over which areas are atrisk
C. disagreement between farmers and residents D. difficulty in deciding how rare a flood must be
35.Which is the best title for thepassage?
A.What Definesa FloodB. Why “Normal” Is Hard toDefine
C. Why Flood Definitions Cause Troubles D. How Physical Science Explains Floods

Feeling Good Builds Self-Control, Not the Other Way Around
Self-control is commonly regarded as a precondition for happiness, which explains why we repeatedly make New Year’s resolutions in the hope of improving our lives. But new research challenges this assumption.36
Researchers carried out a series of controlled experiments to investigate the real relationship between mood and self-control. One group was ananged to complete stressful, difficult tasks to get into a bad emotional state. The other group was asked to finish simple and relaxing tasks to keep a peaceful and positive emotional state for twenty minutes.37
It is revealed that participants in a positive emotional state scored significantly higher on the self control measures. 38 In contrast, those in a negative emotional state performed considerably
worse. They lost patience easily, gave up halfway, and favored short-term enjoyment without careful deliberation.39 Positive emotions, therefore, do not lead to laziness or lack of discipline. Rather,
theyact as steady fuel thatsustains self-control over time.
These findings suggest a practical shift in how we approach self-discipline. Rather than blaming ourselves or increasing internal pressure when self-control fails, we should prioritize our emotional well being. 40 In other words, a relaxed, positive mental state, serves as the true foundationfor
lasting self-regulation and improved self-management.
A.Self-control bringshappiness.
B.Feeling good may instead buildself-control.
C.This makes it, easier to stick to long-termgoals.
D.The participants were then given a five-minuterest.
E.After that, all the participants took the same self-controltest.
F.They made more rational long-term choices and rarely yielded to instantpleasure.
G.These findings challenge the common belief that negative emotions enhance self-control.

Most of us are bad at predicting what will make us happy, including the world’s best athletes.
Four years ago, Swiss skier Mathilde Gremaud won gold at just 22 at the Beijing Winter Olympics. But within a month, her joy had _41_. “There’s nothing left,“ she said. “It was super _42_
Gremaud is far from an isolated case. Researchers have found that a significant number of Olympians

One of the main reasons for this is a cognitive _47_ known as “idealism”-the tendency to fbcus

But here is what researchers have actually discovered: how good your experiences are doesn5t _51_ nearly as much as how many good experiences you have. The _52_ of small, positive moments is a farbetter _53_ of overall happiness than the intensity of a single greatevent.
_54_, happiness is not one big victory. It is the _55_ of hundreds of small things.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头谱续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. We shared everything-lunches, secrets, and dreams for the future. Yet as graduation approached, the mounting stress of exams and college applications began to take its toll on both of us. We studied side by side and promised to get through this together.
The turning point came after the midterm examinations. I had prepared for weeks-sacrificing sleep, skipping social gatherings-yet my score fell far below my expectation. Finally, on the other hand, received one of the highest grades in our class. She tried to be kind about it, never bragging or even mentioning her score. But somehow, that made things worse.
She came to me that afternoon with my favorite snacks. “It’s just one exam,^^ she said gently. “You’ll do better nextI nodded but could not bring myself to look at her. She attemptedto lighten the moodwith silly jokes, but every word felt hke a reminder of the growing gap between us. Then she said, half- jokingly,£<Come on, don’t be so negative. It5s not the end ofthe world.“
Something inside me broke. “Easy for you to say,“ I erupted. “You’re not the one who failed.^^ The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted them. Her face fell. She parted her lips to respond, but no words came. After a long, painful silence, she simply stood up and walked away without a word.
The following days were cold and heavy. We stopped sitting together at lunch. She found a new table, and I did the same. We passed each other in the hallways like strangers. I could tell she was hurting too, but pride kept us both frozen. The silence between us was not empty——it was loaded with guilt, pride, and everything we wished we could say.
It was not until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. When I saw our names paired on the list, I felt a mix of dread and relief. Finally, there was no way out.
