August Lamm, a writer, artist and former art influencer, hasn’t owned a smartphone since 2022. Her
journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures
of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. “Everything that I shared online — all these pictures
and words about my love life, my vacations or my house — was feeding into my business, helping to generate
sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking
point.
At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and avoid using it for a whole day, which, she said, made
life inconvenient for everyone around her. It took her about a year to quit her smartphone and fully devote herself
to the dumbphone lifestyle, which offers only basic calling and texting.
Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to deal with without smartphones, since they are
more than just texting and surfing social media. In 2025, these smartphones function as virtual wallets, health
trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions to the challenges.
“You work out these problems by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can offer you an
alternative when you can’t use parking meter (停车收费表), and a lot of the time they will.”
When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influenceronline. That’s because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts.
“When I stopped posting, I found out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines,
galleries, publishers,” she said. “If I hadn’t spent thousands of hours trying to build a huge following, I could have
spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, taking
part in exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly
if I had not placed online popularity above creative development.”
24．What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone?
A．Her addiction to the smartphone.
B．The stress from social networking.
C．Her pressure from the busy college life.
D．Her concern over the downsides of technology.
25．Why does the author mention the situations in 2025 in paragraph 3?
A．To explain why smartphones are developing very fast.
B．To advise people to depend less on modern technology.
C．To show the wide use of virtual wallets and health trackers.
D．To stress the important roles smartphones play in daily life.
26．How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text?
A．Confident and demanding.
B．Creative and ambitious.
C．Determined and adaptable.
D．Generous and efficient.
27．What message does August Lamm want to express in the last paragraph?
A．Social media do more harm than good.
B．Dumbphones are making a comeback.
C．Use smartphones only when necessary.
D．One can be less dependent on social media.
C
Piles of pancakes, pyramids of cakes, endless rows of fruits. Breakfast buffets across the world promise
abundance (充裕) — and often deliver oversupply, behind which lies a darker truth: food waste.
The UN’s Food Waste Index Report stresses that the latest data from 2022 shows 1.05 billion tonnes offood were wasted, with almost 28% coming from food service and that buffet breakfasts generated more than
twice as much waste as plated breakfasts — around 300g compared to 130g for made-to-order meals.
“Wasted food means wasted resources, and once in landfill, it gives off greenhouse gases that harm the
planet. Cutting food waste is a powerful way to make a difference — and breakfast is a smart place to start,” says
Jocelyn Doyle, head of The Sustainable Restaurant Association.
According to Kelly Haws, an expert in consumer behavior, buffets often make people eat more due to the
“variety effect” — more choice encourages greater consumption. “Self-service also leads to oversized servings,”
she says, adding that the abundance of buffet-style breakfasts can lead consumers to “take more food, consume
more food, and feel less guilty about wasting that food”. The desire to get one’s money’s worth from a fixed-price
buffet adds to the urge to eat more than is needed.
Hotels across the world are adopting some measures to cut food waste in buffets, like downsizing cakes and
using smaller plates. While many travelers are leaning towards more intentional, waste-conscious dining, hotels
still face the complex task of meeting diverse guest expectations. Striking the right balance between sustainability
and service is no small feat, says Jocelyn, especially at breakfast, where the variety guests expect often conflicts
with efforts to minimize oversupply.
Ultimately, Jocelyn recommends that hotels consider removing the buffet altogether and promote their
breakfast experience instead. “In addition to reducing waste, more hotels should redefine themselves around
thoughtfulness and sustainability. A small, thoughtfully planned, cooked-to-order breakfast menu can provide a
more restful experience for guests,” she says.
28．Why is the UN report cited?
A．To prove breakfast buffets cause great food waste.
B．To show people prefer buffets to plated breakfasts.
C．To emphasize that food service needs to be improved.
D．To demonstrate that food waste is a universal problem.
29．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Reasons for overeating at buffets. B．Potential harms of buffets to climate.
C．Crucial factors in wasting behavior. D．Disadvantages of self-service breakfasts.
30．What do the underlined words “no small feat” mean in paragraph 5?
A．A brave attempt. B．A tough challenge.
C．An absolute necessity. D．An ongoing process.
31．What does Jocelyn probably advise hotels to do in the end?A．Upgrade their breakfast menu regularly. B．Create a more enjoyable dining atmosphere.
C．Prioritize energy saving and sustainability. D．Replace buffets with made-to-order breakfasts.

In North Carolina, where I live, different-sized cities and towns schedule monthly activities that are free to
the public. I enjoy attending as my schedule permits.
This month, I journeyed about one hour east to attend one of these events. The featured event was a
collection of portraits (肖像) painted by a local artist. The models in the portraits were homeless people. The artist
provided brief descriptions of the personalities, backgrounds, or behaviors of the people as she experienced them
while painting them. All of the art effortlessly focused attendees’ minds on the humanization of marginalized (边
缘化) people who are often dehumanized.
I was able to feel the human spirit of the featured people. I could imagine them and think about their life
experiences. These are what researchers have labeled to be kinds of important, effortless, and invaluable hard
fascination experiences. Researchers might also describe my experience as requiring moderate to hard focus.
In comparison, researchers have defined soft fascination as also stemming from effortless attention — but it
is not the all-consuming attention that overwhelms the mind’s capacity to process other unrelated thoughts.
Researchers describe soft fascination as attention that is less demanding on our mental capacity. Therefore, during
soft fascination, we can reflect on other unresolved thoughts while we are attracted by something in our
immediate environment. Soft fascination allows our minds to rest. We experience a restoration from the hard
fascination that frequently consumes us.
Soft fascination may be healthy for our minds by giving us a break from hectic hustle culture, stressors, and
disconnection from nature, a site of possible multisensory soft fascination and health benefits. Researchers Basu,
Duvall, and Kaplan also discovered that their study participants perceived nature-based activities as their preferred
ways to experience soft fascination.
It’s important in today’s stressful, chaotic, 21st-century world that we learn to conserve mental capacity to
support rest and restoration. This also means that we might consider making more time to incorporate experiences
of soft fascination into our daily lives. We may also experience reduced activity in areas of the brain and increased
control by the peripheral nervous system during mental rest and restoration.
32．Why does the author describe the exhibition visit?
A．To show local artistic techniques. B．To describe a typical weekend activity.C．To present a psychological concept. D．To reflect on community engagement.
33．What can we know about soft fascination?
A．It consumes more mental effort.
B．It is less common than hard fascination.
C．It allows for irrelevant reflections.
D．It requires full attention to one object.
34．What is most likely to be recommended for experiencing soft fascination?
A．Walking alone in a quiet forest. B．Solving complex intellectual puzzles.
C．Attending debates on social issues. D．Engaging in intense physical exercise.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．What we are habitually fascinated about.B．Why we should experience soft fascination.
C．How we distinguish different fascinations. D．Whether we genuinely experience fascination.

They say once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learnt when we were kids, and
many still put on our helmets, place our feet on the pedals, and shoot off for a ride around the streets. Nowadays,
cycling has seen a boost in popularity. Then comes the question, what makes it so appealing to people to ride their
bikes once again? 36
First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health and burn
extra body fat. Stronger leg muscles mean you can push down on the pedals with more power and turn them more
quickly. 37 A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind or destress.
38 By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares. If you do drive into work, sometimes
finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much
simpler. Then, on the train, there are upsetting changes at stations and other commuters are always speaking
loudly on their phones. 39 And if you’re worried about safety, there are marked cycle lanes in many
major cities. Wearing high-visibility clothing, sometimes referred to as “hi-vis”, is another way to improve your
safety when cycling on the roads.
Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment. It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not
releasing waste gas into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
Believe it or not, more and more people want to cycle for their health, getting about town, their wallet, theenvironment, or a combination of all of them — 40 .
A．Cyclists face neither of these issues.
B．The popularity of cycling is on the rise.
C．And cycling nowadays is out of date.
D．Its charm lies in the following aspects.
E．Cycling can be a great way to commute or get about town.
F．And cycling’s benefits aren’t just physical, but mental as well.
G．More and more people are choosing electric bikes for their daily commute.

The charm of the ocean has always been a powerful force, and among its most grand inhabitants is the
humpback whale. My personal encounter with a humpback whale is an experience that has 41 my
understanding of the natural world and my place within it.
That morning, our research ship floated quietly in the Gulf of Alaska. After hours of patient 42 , a
huge humpback whale suddenly 43 just meters away. It stayed beside us, 44 lifting its head
as if studying us in return. At one remarkable moment, the whale turned and directly 45 me — its large,
intelligent eye holding mine in a gaze that felt 46 and deeply connecting. Time seemed to stand still in that
brief but unforgettable moment.
Scientists believe such friendly behavior 47 curiosity — a specific and sincere attempt to 48
the species divide and understand the humans beside it. During those profound minutes, the whale felt like a
conscious, thoughtful being choosing to 49 with us rather than swim away. This rare mutual
attentiveness, especially that amazing moment of silent eye contact, transformed the simple encounter into a(n)
50 beyond words. It completely changed my understanding of interspecies 51 and the hidden
bond between humans and animals.
To me, the whale’s graceful 52 felt like a silent prayer for coexistence, 53 me that we
are part of nature. As marine biologist Sylvia Earle once said, “No blue, no green.” Without healthy oceans, there
is no healthy 54 . That day, the humpback whale became my 55 , and I was its humble student.

With human activities expanding rapidly, the number of rare wild animals in many regions 56
(decrease) continuously over the past decade. Many species have been forced to leave their natural homes, and
some have even lived in narrow, unconnected areas 57 they can hardly survive.
58 (vary) dangers, including pollution and habitat destruction, are threatening the existence of
these valuable creatures. 59 (compare) with the situation in the early 2000s, the living environment for
wildlife has become far more severe. Some animals that used to be common are now 60 (rare) seen in
the wild, drawing wide public attention.
Experts strongly suggest that more measures should be taken to protect 61 ecosystem. They also

(act) quickly, more rare species will become extinct, and the ecological balance will be broken.
Many people have realized the importance of wildlife protection, 64 more effective policies are
still needed to be carried out immediately. Only by joint efforts can we prevent more lovely creatures from being
trapped 65 dangerous conditions and make our world full of life and hope.

67．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 never spoke in Mr. Thompson’s eighth-grade history class. Not a single word all year. My stutter (口吃)
since childhood made public speaking my worst nightmare. I perfected the art of being unseen — sitting in the
back, avoiding eyes, begging never to be called on. Most teachers, after a few failed attempts, gradually let me sit
in the background. But Mr. Thompson was different. He would ask a question, his kind eyes looking around the
room and stopping at my desk. The silence would continue until he gently moved on. I hated those stops. I thought
they were filled with his pity, or worse, his impatience.
Our only communication was through writing. I handed in articles filled with thoughts I could never voice.
He returned them with careful notes in green ink — not just corrections, but questions, encouragements andconnections to ideas. In the margins (空白) of an essay, he once wrote: “True courage is not about being without
fear, but speaking up even when your voice shakes. Your writing has a powerful voice, Alex”. I treasured those
notes but refused the man. I believed he was showing the very thing I couldn’t do.
The final project was a 10-minute oral presentation (口头陈述). My heart sank. I spent weeks in worry. The
night before the due date, I found an envelope (信封) from Mr. Thompson in my backpack. Inside was not a note,
but a single key and a small map of the school drawn on notepaper. An “X” marked the old, unused hall at the far
end of the building. No words, just the quiet invitation of an “X”.
Holding the cool key, my confusion slowly turned into a flash of understanding. Could this be a way out? A secret
escape from my public fear? My heart beat with a mix of fear and hope as I turned the key in the hall’s side door
that evening after school.注意：
（1）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。
Opening the door, I saw Mr. Thompson sitting in the front row, holding a small recorder.
