I had just quit my postdoctoral fellowship for a research position at a consulting firm. For my first
project, I was assigned to be the note-taker for a long week of interviews. My hands ached from typing
by our 10th participant — and we still had dozens to go. Maybe I could have given the academic job
market another year or two of my life, I thought.
I had spent the previous decade working tirelessly toward my goal of becoming a professor —
completing a Ph.D., earning a postdoctoral fellowship, and publishing 15 first-author papers. However,
after celebrating my 30th birthday, I realized that no matter how hard I worked, no one could guarantee
me a teaching position in a place where I wanted to live. The lack of control became too much for me.
I cast aside my academic career plans and set my sights on industry. A month into my job search,
an offer arrived among many rejections: a six-figure research position in product development that
allowed me to choose where I lived. It seemed to be everything I wanted, so I decided to take it and
quit my postdoc. Yet, in the shadows of the observation room, dissatisfaction ate at me. I was back to
the dull tasks I’d once completed as an undergraduate research assistant.
This wasn’t where I wanted to be in my career. I was ambitious — I wanted to manage projects
and lead a team. I realized I had to change my mindset. I would need to let go of the idea that I was
already an “expert” in my field. I had to become a Ph.D. student once again.
As I devoured (急切地读) books, blogs, and podcasts, I realized just how much I didn’t know,
and how much I needed to learn. It was humbling and exciting, all at once. I had forgotten how much I
enjoyed learning.
Two years and three companies later, I’m an engineer at a medical device company. My Ph.D. has
proved valuable after all. It gave me the skills to succeed wherever I choose to take my career. It gave
me the tools to be a student forever.

A new kind of stethoscope (听诊器) that uses artificial intelligence (AI) can detect three different
heart conditions in 15 seconds. Stethoscopes are devices that medical experts use to listen to most
sounds in the body, such as a heartbeat.
In the US, more than 6.5 million people have a condition called heart failure, which occurs when
their heart muscle is not pumping blood properly. There are signs of the condition, including shortness
of breath, but estimates show that 70% of people have the condition confirmed only after they have
gone to the hospital for serious symptoms. Early detection by using this new stethoscope enables
patients to receive life-saving treatment sooner.
The new device, which was developed in the UK, is the size of a playing card. Doctors put it on a
patient’s chest, where it records the electrical signals in the heart and listens to the sound of blood
flowing through the heart. This information is then sent to an AI system, which compares it to data
from thousands of other people to see if there’s a problem. The results are immediately sent to a
smartphone.
The device was tested in a study with more than 12,700 people over the course of a year. The
大庆铁人中学2025 级高一年级下学期期中考试英语试题 第 8 页 共 15 页
results showed that the AI stethoscope was able to detect unusual heart activities that a doctor might
miss with a traditional stethoscope. Patients examined with the AI stethoscope were also twice as likely
to have their heart failure spotted. And the device was 3.5 times more likely to detect atrial fibrillation,
which is an irregular heartbeat, and was better at detecting when one or more of a patient’s heart valves
were not working properly.
The AI stethoscope does require some caution, however. The study found that the device often
detected heart failure in patients who did not actually have it. The researchers who designed it said it
should be used only when doctors suspect that a patient has heart problems, not for routine checks on
healthy people.
43. What can we know about the new kind of stethoscope?
A. It can be used to access all body sounds.
B. It helps save people’s lives effectively.
C. It can figure out people’s shortness of breath.
D. It is able to spot many kinds of heart failure.
44. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. The new stethoscope’s using process.
B. The new stethoscope’s disadvantages.
C. The new stethoscope’s wide application.
D. The new stethoscope’s hidden principle.
45. How does the author prove the new stethoscope’s effectiveness?
A. By quoting experts.
B. By providing data.
C. By analyzing causes.
D. By offering comments.
46. What is the author’s attitude towards the new stethoscope?
A. Unfavorable.
B. Unconcerned.
C. Objective.
D. Subjective.
D
One of the most famous experiments in social psychology is the “marshmallow ( 棉花糖) test,” in
which a child is presented with a marshmallow and promised a second if they can resist eating the first
for fifteen minutes. The ability to delay satisfaction has long been linked to future success. However, in
his deeply reflective new book The Long View, social scientist Richard Fisher argues that modern
大庆铁人中学2025 级高一年级下学期期中考试英语试题 第 9 页 共 15 页
society has failed this test on a global scale, becoming dangerously trapped in “living for the moment.”
Fisher’s central claim is that our ancestors possessed a “cathedral thinking” mindset — the ability to
plan for a future they would never personally see, much like the medieval builders who started grand
structures knowing they would take centuries to complete. Today, however, the pressures of the 24-hour
news cycle, quarterly financial reports, and the instant pleasure of social media have shortened our
mental horizons. We are, as Fisher puts it, “time-limited immigrants” who are consuming the resources
of the future to satisfy the temporary desires of the present.
The book is not merely a critical report; it is a fascinating exploration of how we might retrain our
brains to think in longer periods. Fisher introduces readers to “The Long Now Foundation,” which is
building a clock designed to tick for 10,000 years, and explores the legal concepts of “intergenerational
justice.” He suggests that we should treat future generations as “unborn citizens” with their own rights,
rather than just abstract concepts.
While Fisher’s writing is elegant and his research is thorough, some readers might find his optimism
slightly disconnected from the harsh realities of modern politics. It is one thing to appreciate the beauty
of a 10,000-year clock; it is quite another to persuade a politician to prioritize a fifty-year climate goal
over next year’s pressure. Nevertheless, The Long View is a necessary wake-up call. It challenges us to
look beyond our own lives and consider what kind of “good ancestor” we want to be.
47. What is the main problem of modern society according to Richard Fisher?
A．People lack the curiosity to explore the unknown.
B．People are highly focused on immediate interests.
C．People are struggling with social media addiction.
D．People have lost the ability to build grand structures.
48. What is the characteristic of “cathedral thinking” as described in the text?
A．The ability to quickly adapt to the 24-hour news cycle.
B．The skill of balancing quarterly reports with social media use.
C．The willingness to invest in the well-being of future generations.
D．The preference for building physical structures over digital ones.
49. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards Fisher’s book?
大庆铁人中学2025 级高一年级下学期期中考试英语试题 第 10 页 共 15 页
A．Enthusiastic about its political influence.
B．Doubtful about the author’s research methods.
C．Critical of its lack of scientific evidence and samples.
D．Supportive of its main message despite some concerns.
50．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Why Cathedral Thinking is Outdated Today
B．The Secret to Future Success: The Marshmallow Test
C．Regaining Our Future: A Review of The Long View
D．Richard Fisher: The Man Who Built a 10,000-Year Clock

Over-Promotion of Scenic Spot Foods: How to Stay Reasonable?
Scenic spot foods carry local culture, offer unique tasting experiences, and help tourists remember
their trips, but the over-promotion and over-beautification of these foods — exaggerating their flavors,
hiding high prices, or making up “must-try” stories — have brought negative impacts on travelers.
___51___
Definitely not. Losing the fun of exploring local foods would make trips less colorful. Here are
some tips on making sensible choices to avoid the downsides of over-promotion and enjoy real local
flavors.
Check real reviews first.
Over-promotion often relies on polished online posts and paid ads that hide problems. With so
many platforms full of exaggerated recommendations, it’s easy to be misled. Look for genuine
feedback from ordinary travelers, like comments on non-commercial blogs or recent visitor shares.
___52___
Focus on real needs.
The best way to resist over-promotion is to stick to what you truly want. Though “popular foods”
seem attractive, they may not match your taste or budget. That means you can ignore the noisy hype
(促销广告) and choose based on your preferences. ___53___ Why not try a small local eatery loved by
locals instead of a crowded “internet-famous” shop, or pick snacks that fit your dietary habits?
大庆铁人中学2025 级高一年级下学期期中考试英语试题 第 11 页 共 15 页
___54___
Avoid regret from impulsive (易冲动的) buys by comparing basic information. You’ll know the
real price range, avoid overspending on overpriced foods, and get better value for your money — since
clear information helps you make wise decisions.
Trying local foods at scenic spots is about enjoying genuine flavors, not chasing exaggerated
fame. Do your part to stay away from the trap of over-promotion. ___55___ You may be surprised how
much more enjoyable your food exploration becomes with a rational mind.
A. Choose based on facts, not hype.
B. So, should we avoid local foods?
C. Can over-promotion be stopped?
D. Compare information before buying.
E. You can still find real local flavors that fit your taste.
F. Consider asking local residents for tips on genuine local food.
G. You’ll save money and avoid disappointment from false promotions.

the Second Line”, allows goods, money, and people to move more freely. This helps businesses save a
lot of money and grow ____78____ (sustainable).
Why is this so important? At a time when some nations are creating more trade barriers, China is
opening a huge door wider. Hainan, ____79____ the full support of China’s vast market, aims to be a

establishing a stable, transparent and predictable institutional system ____80____ (attract) high-end
resources from around the world in the future.

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。
My dad took up woodwork after retiring last month, and he turned our small balcony into his little
workshop. Every evening when I got home to do my homework, the sound of sawing wood or planing
(刨) boards would come through the balcony door—so loud that I could barely focus on my math
problems.
I’d complained to him several times. “Dad, can you stop working when I do my homework? The
noise is driving me crazy!” But he’d just smile and say, “Soon, soon. I'm almost done with this little
shelf.” Then the next day, the noise would start again. Once, I even hid his favorite wood plane in my
closet while he was out, hoping he’d take a break for a few days.
Last Friday, I was in a hurry to finish my English essay. I grabbed my notebook from the desk and
rushed to the living room—but I tripped over the carpet and dropped it. The notebook fell open, and all
the pages came loose, fluttering (飘落) onto the floor. I felt so frustrated that I sat down and almost
cried. Dad heard the noise and came over. He didn’t say anything, just picked up the pages one by one
and gently patted the dust off them.
That night, I stayed up late finishing the essay at the dining table. When I went to the kitchen to
get a glass of water, I passed the balcony and saw Dad still working under the lamp. He was gluing
something carefully, with my broken notebook next to him. I didn’t want to talk to him then, so I
quietly went back to my room.
The next morning, I found the notebook on my desk. It was neatly put back together, and on the
cover, there was a tiny carved pattern—a little star, just like the one I’d drawn for Dad on his birthday
last year. Curious, I walked to the balcony. Under his working table, I saw a folded piece of paper—it
was that birthday drawing of mine, with a small note on the back: My kid’s first gift to me. I stood
there, my throat suddenly tight.
