Careerism is Ruining College
When I pictured myself in college, I envisioned potluck picnics and late nights listening to Taylor Swift.
I never daydreamed about hiding in the library bathroom, crying ___1___ I had just been rejected from an undergraduate law journal.
The recently publicized tensions on college campuses, particularly those in the Ivy League, are ___2___ many forces at play for students today. But there’s another that has not yet fascinated the news cycle.
It’s called pre-professional pressure: a widespread culture ___3___ convinces many of us that only careers in fields such as computer programming finance and consulting, preferably at firms like McKinsey or Google, secure ___4___ worthwhile futures.
When I first got to the University of Pennsylvania in August of 2019, it felt like a daily pop quiz, one ___5___ I was graded on a language I still struggle to speak.
I heard students say things like: I think I want to work in mergers (合并) and acquisitions. Or ___6___ it’s McKinsey or Google, who cares
I late learned that according to schoolyard myths, if you do well in microeconomics and macroeconomics, then get accepted into one of the selective finance clubs, you have a chance of internally ___7___ (transfer) to Penn’s Wharton School, the most admired undergraduate business school in the country.
Responding to the pressure, I took microeconomics. When I did well on my first midterm, I realized that I ___8___ perhaps earn some respect from my peers by winning one of the few transfer spots into Wharton. Then I remembered I had no interest in business.
I wanted to go to law school, so I applied to Penn’s Undergraduate Law Journal. During my interview, however, I failed to prepare questions for my interviewer, wrongly believing questions would be a trouble. When I got a rejection email, I was crushed. It felt like law school ___9___ (be) now an impossibility.
But _____10_____ is missing in this race to perceived economic safety is the emotional cost. Almost two-thirds of college students have reported feeling “overwhelming anxiety” within a given year, and experts have pointed to the cocktail of coursework and concerns over choosing a career as causes.

Let Students Finish the Whole Book. It Could Change Their Lives.
When a semester begins, I often give my students a little essay by Virginia Woolf, “How Should One Read a Book ” She advises, “Begin not by sitting on the bench among the judges, but by standing in the dock with the criminal. Be his fellow worker.” And when they have turned the last page, Woolf invites the reader to “leave the dock and ___11___ the bench. He must cease to be the friend; he must become the judge.”
According to the 2015 Nation’s Report Card, only 37% American 12th graders were rated as good enough at reading. So the government’s determination that it’s time to stop seeing books and essays as the core of English education seems ___12___ questionable.
But true literacy isn’t just broken, secondhand knowledge. And reading, in particular, is an important ___13___ in inferiority, an insistence on listening to something without imposing your own ___14___ on it. While we still have the institutions of school and class time as well as the books that ___15___ our walls, we need to challenge students with language and characters that may not come to them immediately but might heal healthy ___16___.
Of all the things I could do in this world, I’m fortunate to push stories from faraway lands to young minds and see whether I can spark their synapses (神經元突觸). Sometimes, I’ll admit, I’d rather be watching sports or even, sleeping. And it’s not easy for students to crack open a book, to decode language written in a way they don’t speak.
The juniors and seniors I taught last fall had little knowledge of environmental activism or animal welfare when I handed them Richard Powers’s “Bewilderment,” about a talented 9-year-old who is ___17___ with saving endangered species as his ___18___ father struggles to protect him. But through fiction’s safe distance, students could explore big world issues and the complex sides of parental love. The mixed feelings they brought about will be a part of their ___19___ identities. Had they ___20___ read the summary, they would have seen many of the same words, but they’d have lacked the feeling part.
II．Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Jim Lovelock is remembered as the father of the Gaia hypothesis (蓋亞假說): the idea that Earth is a self-regulating living organism.
Few ___21___ his argument that this should be elevated to the status of a theory, even though it generated predictions about environmental changes that were ___22___ by later observations. ___23___, as an experimental model, Gaia deeply influenced thinking about the environment and how we interact with it, giving rise to the field of Earth-system studies.
Lovelock was primarily an inventor, spending most of his career as a (n) ___24___ scientist funded by the income from his inventions and therefore free from the limitations of an academic ___25___. His thinking about environmental issues stemmed from ___26___ made with his inventions. His most notable device was the electron capture detector, which detected traces of common compounds in the air. This ___27___ revealed the spread of chlorofluorocarbons (含氯氟烴) around the globe and the build-up of the pesticide DDT in the environment, leading to restrictions on the use of these substances.
Lovelock was born on 26 July 1919, and grew up in Brixton, then a poor area of south London. ___28___ educational opportunities themselves, his parents pushed him into a grammar school, which he hated. He preferred to study popular books. To the annoyance of his teachers, he did well in exams despite refusing to ___29___ authority. He was determined to become a scientist, but what he later described as ‘number processing disorder’ couldn’t handle the mathematics required for physics, his first choice. He turned to chemistry instead.
By the mid-1960s, he was a self-employed scientist (in both meanings of the term), consulting for organizations such as Shell and NASA; it was the latter work that led to the Gaia idea. Lovelock _____30_____ this concept over the next decade. It gained little attention _____31_____ he published his first book, Gaia, in his 60th year. This reached a wide audience thanks not only to Lovelock’s ideas, but also to his _____32_____ style.
Instead of a _____33_____ retirement, Lovelock set out on an essentially new career, promoting the idea of Gaia, developing the model and, to his disappointment, becoming admired by hippy (嬉皮士的) ‘environmentalists’ who thought that Gaia would “protect us’. He responded that ‘the best thing for Gaia might be to get rid of us’. He was _____34_____ thinking of global warming, on which he acted as an informal adviser to the UK government in the late 1980s. He strongly _____35_____ nuclear power as a (n) alternative to fossil fuels.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Some years ago, I had a friend who got into trouble on the internet. He was writing a book that showed a strong opinion on a controversial topic and had been talking about it on social media. He didn’t have a large following, but activists who opposed his view of the issue began to notice and decided that he needed punishing for wrongthink.
Their anger about his work spread the conversation to people who anonymously (匿名地) and deliberately seek to upset others and start fights online — and one thing led to another, some of them began to abuse my friend harshly. “People are telling me to kill myself!” he told me, with desperation in his voice. He started worrying about being doxed. “Do I need private security Maybe I should move.”
Out of curiosity, I asked my friend how much time he was then spending on social media, monitoring all the abuse. “Pretty much all day,” he said. This made sense to him because he felt the severity of the situation demanded his full attention: A threat’s a threat, right I made one simple suggestion: Delete the apps and stop interacting with social media for a week. He took my advice reluctantly, but over the next few days, he stopped thinking about the trouble so much. By the time he reopened the apps, he found those mean guys had largely moved on to new victims and targets.
What my friend learned was that this annoyance, which had seemed very real to him, could be erased almost completely by using two powerful weapons: ______. What works in our internet-based culture can apply equally well to other areas of modern life. Take again this friend of mine for example. After that incident, he started thinking: Were there other areas of his life where the two weapons could work. After getting informed about alcohol use, he changed his perception of drinking and avoided engaging with the substance. He also decided to reevaluate what had been his favorite news organization; he then saw it in a much more questioning light, so he withdrew his attention by unsubscribing.

A. They showed a strong opposition against the controversial topic.
B. They angrily and publicly opposed that friend’s argument.

37. Which of the following may be an act of “doxing” (Paragraph 2)
A. calling someone names B. revealing one’s phone number
C. visiting someone personally D. making up some stories
38. What did that targeted man do to survive the attacks
A. He talked with his friends. B. He moved house immediately.
C. He ignored the abuse temporarily. D. He opened the app once every week.
39. What might be the weapons mentioned in the last paragraph
A. perception and attention B. friendship and ignorance
C. refusal and departure D. disengagement and evaluation
(B)

Do Lonely People Have Shorter Lives
For centuries emperors and alchemists (煉金師) searched for a fountain of youth. Today Silicon Valley billionaires pour fortunes into cutting-edge longevity treatments. But the real secrets to a longer life are neither mystical nor high-tech.
A study published on February 19th in Nature Medicine, a journal, draws on the UK Biobank, a biomedical database, to see what genetic and environmental factors are most important in helping people age slower, and thus live longer. The UK Biobank contains detailed genetic and medical data from half a million people, as well as information on their income, lifestyle and upbringing. This allowed the authors to sort out the effects of different factors on disease risk and mortality (死亡).
Genetics played a surprisingly minor role in overall longevity. Age and sex explained 47% of the variability in mortality, while genetics added just 3% after controlling for these factors. Environmental and lifestyle factors accounted for about 17%. The remaining variation in mortality cannot be predicted.
The authors then identified the environmental factors with the strongest influence on mortality. Some of the results are obvious: smoking increases a person’s risk of premature death by around 60% compared with a non-smoker of the same age, sex and background. Being educated, employed and wealthy were among the most life-extending factors. Physical activity reduced the risk of mortality by roughly 25%.
But the study also found that social connections were surprisingly powerful predictor of a long life. Living with a partner was roughly as beneficial as exercise. Regular visits with family or having someone to confide in also appeared to lower mortality risks. Loneliness is a known risk factor for an early death people who are socially isolated tend to have greater levels of cellular inflammation (細胞炎癥) and poorer immune (免疫的) responses. It is not clear, however, whether this is a direct effect of being alone, or because lonely people tend to be less active and eat poorer diets.
Loneliness also affects mental wellbeing — another factor in longevity. People who reported feeling fed up or unenthusiastic in Biobank surveys were also at higher risk of premature death. Those who reported often feeling tired — which can be a symptom of depression or burn-out — had a 45% greater risk of mortality than more energetic peers.
There are limitations to these findings. The study is a lesson in correlation not causation. Installing an open fireplace in your home or gorging on cheese will probably do little to help slow ageing — but both factors were linked to a lower mortality risk probably they are also associated with higher wealth in Britain. But the findings do suggest that social connections and mental wellbeing might be just as important and physical exercise in defending us against an early death.
43. What has the study published on February 19th in Nature Medicine found concerning genetics’ role in mortality
A. The UK Biobank has detailed genetic, medical and social information for many people.
B. For men of the same age, if living in identical environment, their mortality is the same.
C. Almost every aspect of the subjects’ life has been considered for this study.
D. Age and gender account for the majority of variation in human lifespan.
44. Which of the following is a possible environmental factor considered by the researchers
A. how many cigarettes one smokes per week B. which nursery the subject attended
C. what music one usually listens to D. how often one visits his family
45. According to the passage, which example demonstrates the relation between loneliness and mortality best
A. After Mark got married, he noticed that he wasn’t getting seasonal flus as often as before.
B. Mary’s health condition improved much after she regularly worked out at a local gym.
C. After moving out of her parents’ house, Jill often ordered takeout as a quick fix for dinner.
D. His ankle broken, Jack had to work from home and lost some sleep for reduced activity.
46. Throughout the passage, how does the author imply the study is more a lesson in correlation than causation
A. By questioning whether loneliness or physical activity impacts longevity more directly.
B. By honestly admitting the remaining variation in mortality cannot be predicted.
C. By showing that good mental health leads to a longer life to some extent.
D. By taking into account physical, psychological and social factors.
Section C

How DeepSeek’s Lower-Power, Less-Data Model Stacks up
Chinese company DeepSeek sent shock waves through Wall Street last month after unveiling a new AI model that was competitive against rival U. S. systems despite using less sophisticated chips and a tiny proportion of the processing power.
____47____ Its latest R1 model relies more heavily on a process known as reinforcement learning (增強學習), in which model gets feedback from its actions using a reward system it creates and adapts for itself, according to a paper published by the company.
How does exactly this model work First, it starts with an existing valuable collection of text broken into unique words, word pieces and punctuation. ____48____ Such variety increases the language volume. This “large language model” has more than 671 billion adjustable settings known as “parameters” (參數) that can be adjusted to determine how the model responds to prompts.
A model’s parameter count is one way to measure its size. There’s another. ____49____ The reduction in active parameters drastically cuts down on the power and compute needed for processing, and allows the model to run on cheaper and less-sophisticated chips.
Besides the effective use of its language base, DeepSeek’s R1 model works by splitting into multiple networks that have different specialties, a method known as “the mixture of experts” approach. Certain prompts will call for different specialties, and to answer the prompt the model will only process the networks that it has taught itself are the most relevant.
____50____ The preprocessing is done by humans and is expensive and time-consuming.
A. Unlike traditional AI models, only a small part of R1’s adjustable settings are active during any single operation.
B They’re the key to DeepSeek’s success.
C. DeepSeek is able to get more out of Less.
D. In comparison, traditional AI models rely on enormous strips of prelabeled data sets in a process known as supervised training.
E. DeepSeek’s models have run trial tests in multiple real-world settings, including natural language processing.
F. They can be strung back together in different ways.
III．Summary (10分)
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Keeping Kids Interested in Science Is a Matter of Language
Parents often delight in their children’s inborn curiosity about the world, from toddlers marveling at rolling balls to older kids questioning why the sky is blue. But as children age, their enthusiasm for science can decrease. Research suggests a surprising cause: the language adults use.
Well-intentioned phrases like “Let’s be scientists!” or “You’re a great scientist!” may backfire. Such identity-focused language can faintly signal that science is reserved for “scientist-types” — often labeled as white men. When children don’t see themselves reflected in that image, they may disengage. For example, studies show that young girls persist longer in science tasks when encouraged with action-focused cues like “Let’s do science” rather than identity-based phrases. This shift highlights a key insight: framing science as activities (observing, experimenting, asking questions) rather than a fixed identity keeps curiosity alive.
So now parents are perhaps thinking, “Great, I will just focus on doing science and the actions that make up the scientific process!” And certainly that is likely to be effective even as children transition from childhood to adolescence and into early adulthood. But it’s also true that, around adolescence, kids are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So while identity-focused language about science might be demotivating for young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. For example, cueing a future identity (e. g., scientist, doctor) that is based on science motivated middle schoolers to do more homework, and was associated with higher grades. That might be because if teens think of themselves as scientists, then they are willing to do what it takes to be whom they want to become.
By balancing these strategies, adults can nurture both short-term curiosity and long-term passion. After all, Science isn’t just for “scientists” — it’s a process anyone can engage in. Adjusting the language could sustain a lifelong love of discovery.

V．Guided Writing (25分)
【56題答案】
【答案】Dear Lynn,
I’m glad to share two remarkable aspects of Mingqi High School through my experiences.
First, the school’s science labs have inspired my curiosity. Last semester, in a biology experiment about plant photosynthesis, our teacher allowed us to design a project testing how different light sources affect growth. The lab’s advanced equipment and flexible learning environment made complex theories tangible, sparking my interest in environmental science.
Second, the Peer Mentorship Program has deeply influenced me. As a senior, I mentored a ninth-grader, Anna, who struggled with time management. We met weekly to organize her schedule and share study tips. Seeing her confidence grow as she balanced academics and hobbies showed me the power of mutual support. Such programs create a warm community where every student feels cared for.
These experiences reflect how our school combines academic rigor with a nurturing atmosphere. I hope they help new students and parents envision life here!
Yours,
Li Hua
