Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle
against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while
success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.
It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a
major injury—my broken ankle—sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks
in the nearby park—no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I
noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the
playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.
When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to
allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs
and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than
speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt odd, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet
with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity.
One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water,
I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once-no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in
running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the
present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the
greatest personal best of all. Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness
sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of
the need to prove myself.

Recently, multiple topics related to “raising lobsters (龙虾)” trended on Chinese social media, capturing
widespread public attention. However, the “lobster” in question is not a tasty dish; instead, it is the nickname for
OpenClaw, an open-source artificial intelligence software. Because of its distinctive red lobster icon, netizens
affectionately refer to the process of setting up and training it as “raising lobsters.” This unusual trend highlights
a growing public fascination with autonomous technology.
Unlike conversational AI models like ChatGPT that merely offer suggestions or generate text, OpenClaw
acts as a highly proactive personal assistant. Once granted (授权) device access, it can fully take over various
software to independently carry out complex, multi-step tasks. Beyond just organizing folders or sending emails,
it can seamlessly edit documents, book travel tickets, and manage daily schedules. Activated by simple voice
commands, this hands-free automation represents a massive leap forward in digital productivity.
However, using OpenClaw requires significant technical expertise, often involving complicated computer
coding environments. This difficult learning process has given birth to a booming “door-to-door installation (安
装)” service industry. Searches for “OpenClaw installation” on various e-commerce platforms reveal on-site
prices ranging from 300 to 800 yuan, with 500 yuan being the standard rate. Remote installation services are
more affordable, typically costing between 50 and 100 yuan. The surging demand is so high that college
students skilled in technology and IT workers are quickly cashing in. Remarkably, some claim to have earned a
surprising amount of money within just a few days from this service alone.
While this profitable gold rush continues, cybersecurity experts caution users about potential data privacy
risks. They warn that granting extensive system permissions to unfamiliar third-party installers can be extremely
dangerous. Moving forward, open-source developers are actively working to simplify the software's architecture.
They hope to eventually make the installation process completely accessible to everyday consumers, allowing
everyone to enjoy the convenience safely.
28. What makes OpenClaw stand out from conversational AI models?
A. It relies heavily on typed instructions.
B. It acts independently to perform tasks.
C. It focuses mainly on generating emails.
D. It provides suggestions for daily schedules.
29. What leads to the surge of the “door-to-door installation” service?
A. The potential personal data theft.
B. The difficulty in setting up the software.
C. The high prices on e-commerce platforms. D. The promotion by technically skilled students.

30. What can we infer about OpenClaw from the last paragraph?
A. It will become more user-friendly.
B. It will be banned for privacy risks.
C. It will completely take over IT jobs.
D. It will be replaced by newer models.
31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote the AI service industry.
B. To introduce a trending AI assistant.
C. To warn about potential cyber threats.
D. To guide the installation of OpenClaw.

It might seem strange that in an information-rich world, people often try their best to avoid finding out
about certain things. Whether it's skipping a follow-up doctor's appointment or refusing to read an unsettling
news article, this tendency has a name: “the Ostrich(鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head
in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs.
In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy.
Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth?
Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know—good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children,
however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though
they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad.
So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions.
Information is not neutral(中立的)—it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health,
abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect
themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions.
Saving ourselves from pain can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can
outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health.
At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or stubborn mindsets. When people deliberately
tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and
connection.
At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile
ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every
day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to
develop resilience(韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed.
32. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”?
A. A patient checking drug side effects.
B. A player blaming others for his failure.
C. A runner dropping out of a fierce race.
D. A student refusing to check his test scores.
33. Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur?
A. To build up self-confidence.
B. To avoid psychological pain.
C. To screen useless information.
D. To develop independent thinking.
34. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. deepen B. create
C. remove
D. settle
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Information Explosion: A Modern Crisis
B. The Ostrich Effect: Why We Avoid Facts
C. Emotions: The Key to Strategic Learning
D. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort Comes First

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。
I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else witnessing something unbelievable. Ice sheets
float on the water. Wind brushes past my ears. In the distance, mountains glow (发光) under the moonlight.
Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I’ve never seen in my real life. 36 This
is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to anticipate in this form of travel. 37 There is no need to consider weather
conditions, health issues or financial pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as
freely. For those limited by schedule, health, or income, VR quietly removes barriers that traditional travel often
sets in place.
38 Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, taste strange local dishes, hear different languages
spoken and engage face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such real encounters awaken the
senses of travelers and help create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us.
This distinction is clear. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains
carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by unpredictability. 39 In those real unplanned
moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to evolve, enriching how we experience journeys and imagine
distant worlds. Still, it can never replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther: it is also
about feeling where you stand. 40
A. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
B. I am not moving, yet I am traveling.
C. My feet ache as my journey stretches across the day.
D. Virtual journeys are convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.
E. It demands choices, adaptation, and constant awareness of the unexpected.
F. Some knowledge, it seems, only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
G. But the convenience may gradually weaken our desire to explore the real world.

“Rockalina now has a new friend,” Chris Leone, who runs an animal shelter in New Jersey, shared in an
online video. The footage captured a remarkable moment: for the 41
time in nearly half a century, the
elderly turtle was meeting her own kind.
“What a truly 42
scene,” he added, his voice warm with emotion, “For almost fifty years,
Rockalina’s world was 43
by the tiles (瓷砖) of a kitchen floor; now, it is defined by the quiet rhythm of
her little friend.”

found in the eastern United States. These turtles

once common, their numbers have 46 sharply in recent decades — the result of habitat loss, road
accidents, and, as in Rockalina’s case, being taken from the wild as 47 .
Back in 1977, a boy 48 Rockalina near his home. His family decided to keep her, and then, she
lived on their kitchen floor, 49 cat food and vegetables. Last February, Leone took her in, concerned
about her health. Ten months of care followed, her strength gradually 50 .
Then came the day of the introduction. “I brought a young turtle to meet Rockalina,” Leone explained.
“Right away, they 51 .” The two began to walk slowly side by side. Her head tilting slightly, Rockalina
even paused 52 , as if making sure her little friend could keep up. “Many think turtles live alone, but
that’s not the whole 53 . They can truly enjoy 54 — and here’s the proof.”
This first meeting is only the 55 . With her health improving, Leone hopes to introduce more turtles,

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Art is everywhere. Most public spaces have been carefully designed by artistic minds to be both functional
and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, 56 (significant) to
wider society, or even a waste of time and effort?
Actually, art connects culture and commerce like few other things can. It generates income and carries
emotional value. When people attend 57 live concert, they pay not only for the joy of live music, the
comfort of convenient hotels, or the pleasure of good meals, 58 importantly for a unique experience and
a lasting memory. Modern consumers increasingly seek life experiences over basic material possessions, as their
values change, 59 (make) art an important driver of the cultural economy.
Moreover, art strengthens community bonds and reduce loneliness. Shared artistic experiences encourage
reflection and discussion, creating social connections. They also allow people to express common values,
especially through works that honor important national 60 (event). Additionally, studies show that
people who 61 (frequent) cultural activities in recent months turn out to harvest better well-being.
Engagement with the arts also benefits 62 (child) development. Those 63 (involve) in
drama show improved literary skills, while music practice enhances math and language abilities. Art-inclined
children are more likely to find employment later in life. Clearly, art is vital to human life. 64 it,
existence would be dull and static — art is part of 65 makes us truly human.

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。
I hated it when Momma said fate hadn’t put magic in my feet. If I wasn't meant to dance, why did I grow
up in Harlem, right across from the ballroom (舞厅)? If I wasn’t supposed to dance, how could I express the
rhythms (节奏) beating in my heart?
Every evening, I watched my neighbor Frankie and the other kids practice their dance moves on the street.
However, with my weak legs, I could do nothing but beat the rhythms on the kitchen table. Soon they would
crowd inside the ballroom, swinging to the music like real dancers. I heard that music every night, but Momma
could never spare me the thirty cents admission. That’s why I let my friend Emily talk me into sneaking in.
“Don’t you want to try dancing to a real band?” she called, “We can sneak in from the back door.”
My mind was made up. Then I hurried after Emily towards the back door.
“Hey, you kids!” a voice called out, “You aren’t supposed to be here!”
I froze. Leaning against a parked car was obviously a drummer (鼓手), playing with a pair of drumsticks
(鼓槌). But before I could react, Emily grabbed my arm and pulled me through the door. We raced down a
hallway and up a dim staircase. When we finally pushed through to the main hall, I stopped dead.
The ballroom was enormous, packed with dancers dressed in their finest. Two bands set on the stage side
by side, playing hard as if they were fighting a joyful musical battle. Among them was the drummer that had
yelled at us before. But I was too excited to care about it. I took Emily’s hand, and the music swept us up. For a
few magical minutes, I was in heaven. Then my weak legs failed me. I landed hard on the floor.
“Man, I never seen a cripple (瘸子) dancing like that.” Frankie and his friends stood over me, laughing out
loud.
Tears stung my eyes, but rage burned hotter. The fact that I wasn’t fit to dance didn’t mean I wasn’t fit for
music! I could make the music that brought the dancers to life! I got up and walked away angrily to a table in the
corner.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150 左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: I began beating a rhythm on the table.

Paragraph 2: The drummer handed me his drumsticks.
