Swim shorts, cold fjords (峽灣) and hot water bottles-Lewis Pugh’s approach to climate campaigning is far from conventional. The Ilulissat glacier carves icebergs that are over a kilometre tall including, legend has it, the one that sunk the Titanic. As well as feeding legends, it feeds the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland, and it’s across the mouth of this fjord that Lewis Pugh completed an extremely tiring swim in September, in an attempt to bring about meaningful action on the climate crisis.
Pugh, an endurance swimmer and UN sponsor of the oceans, completed the 7.8km swim on 7 September. Over 12 days, he faced water temperatures of between 0 and 3 degrees. His attempt was hampered (阻礙) by icebergs and ice, which blocked the mouth of the fjord.
“It feels like running across a motorway, except that instead of dodging cars, I’m in 0℃ water dodging icebergs,” he posted on social media. Wearing only speedos (a swimming suit brand), he had to monitor his body temperature constantly due to the risk of hypothermia (低溫癥).
It made Pugh, who was born in Plymouth, the first person to complete a multi-day swim in the Polar regions. He used hot water bottles and hot chocolate to warm up after a period of time in the water, and described the swim as the most challenging of his career.
“We rely on ice for our survival,” he said. “Ice keeps our planet cool enough for us to live. But we are losing it fast. No ice, no life.”
“We have seen so many natural disasters this year-from wildfires in Greece to foods in Germany, extreme snowstorms in Texas. But I also want everyone to be aware of what is happening here in the Arctic.”
Pugh will visit the COP26 conference in November to call for 30 per cent of the world’s oceans to be safeguarded as marine protected areas by 2030. His approach has been described as “speedo diplomacy”.
4. Why does the author mention “Ilulissat glacier” in the first paragraph
A. To stress the extreme challenge of Pugh’s swim. B. To show the urgent need for Arctic protection.
C To recall the historical sinking of Titanic. D. To describe the dramatic landscape of Greenland.
5. What does the underlined word “dodging” mean in paragraph 3
A. Following. B. Passing. C. Avoiding. D. Ignoring.
6. Which of the following can best describe Lewis Pugh
A. Outgoing. B. Persistent. C. Demanding. D. Stubborn.
7. What does “speedo diplomacy” probably refer to
A. Advocating extreme sports via social media.
B. Preventing natural disasters with joint efforts
C. Promoting environmental policies by swimming.
D. Establishing a marine protected area through negotiation.
C
A desire for offline community and connection is fuelling a resurgence (復興) of interest in book clubs in the UK. Move over, Netflix-there’s a novel favourite pastime in town.
“The rise of book clubs is a testament to our longing for deeper connections,” says Holly Cooke, founder of The Lonely Girls Club.
Across the UK, book clubs are experiencing a comeback. Eventbrite reported a 350% increase in book club listings over the past four years, with more than 127,000 attendees getting together over their shared love of the written word. Meetup revealed that “book club” has surged back into the top 10 most searched events, reclaiming its popularity after a dip in 2021.
The resurgence of book clubs is more than just a statistical anomaly (反常). Many believe it’s a cultural phenomenon.
“I discovered the book club on Eventbrite in 2021 as things were starting to open up following the Covid-19 lockdowns,” says Marta Kizym, a regular attendee. “I loved it because we were all just relaxing at home, but what I really cherish is meeting new people and forming genuine connections. I’ve made many close friends through the book club, people I can truly be myself with.”
In an era of digital overload, book clubs also provide a welcome digital detox. After spending lockdown glued to screens, people are finding comfort in physical books and in-person discussions. “People don’t want to be on their phones any more,” shares Cooke. “They’re trying to get away from technology in a variety of different ways.”
Laura Menendez, another book club goer, adds: “For me, it’s the feeling of being welcome in a non-consuming space that circles around community. It’s one of the few things you can do nowadays that don’t involve spending money or consuming anything. It has restored my belief in the value of community and diversity in communities.”
Obviously, book clubs are proving that the age-old tradition of reading together is far from out-dated. The signs are, it’s never been more relevant.
8. Why does the author include numbers in paragraph 3
A. To contrast book clubs with online entertainment.
B. To dismiss the trend as a temporary phenomenon.
C. To emphasize the renewed popularity of book clubs.
D. To demonstrate the economic profitability of book clubs.
9. What do we know about the book clubs from paragraph 6
A. They help reduce screen time through offline activities.
B. They make criticism of modern technology use.
C They lose appeal with the popularity of digital reading.
D. They require members to use digital devices for club activities.
10. What can be inferred about the book clubs from Laura Menendez’s words
A. They focus more on social interaction than reading.
B. They primarily attract people who dislike consumption.
C. They encourage authentic friendships beyond community.
D. They offer a community independent of consumerism.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards reading together
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious.
D
Did you make any resolutions this new year If you did, are you keeping to them Well done if you are. A survey in America suggests half of new-year resolvers give up by the end of March. More scientific studies confirm that it takes months for a new behaviour to stick.
Habitual behaviour emerges in response to dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure. Two brain systems are involved. One, in the basal ganglia (基底核), responds automatically to certain stimuli. For example, your morning alarm is a stimulus that activates your “getting up” habit. This will include sub-habits such as “shower”, “get dressed’’, “drive to office”, each with their own triggering stimuli and dopamine reward. The other brain system, which is goal-directed, is located in the cortex (大腦皮層). Its dopamine reward comes from a deliberate action being successfully performed. This goal-directed system can override the stimulus-response one. For example, if the radio tells you of a traffic problem, the “drive to office” sub-routine will need conscious adaptation. For one-time adaptations of habits, this arrangement of routine and override works well. But permanent changes, such as breaking an old habit requires weakening the stimulus-driven system to reduce the relevance of old stimuli and strengthening the goal-directed one to increase that of new ones.
In a paper published recently, Eike Buabang and his colleagues at Trinity College review the evidence behind various ways. In practice, most approaches seem to operate on the stimulus-response side. Deliberate repetition trains the brain so that what was once goal-directed becomes automatic. In the case of driving to work, the reward to do this is strong—you won’t get paid otherwise.
Why people learn bad habits in the first place remains mysterious. Most habits form precisely because they are helpful. Automatic behaviours, such as those involved in a morning routine, reduce cognitive load and free mental resources for other tasks, such as working out what to say in the ten-o’clock meeting. But these mechanisms can be disrupted. The nicotine taken in by smoking tobacco — a type of habit so powerful that it has a special name, “addiction” stimulates dopamine production directly. This is something natural selection could not have foreseen. Non-addictive habits like procrastination are harder to explain.
In the end, though, when it comes to habit-formation, the old joke gives us the solution: “How many psychoanalysts (精神分析學家) does it take to change a light bulb Only one, but the light bulb has to really want to change.”
12. What do we know about habit formation according to paragraph 2
A. Dopamine rewards are only produced by goal-directed behaviors.
B. Habit building system needs restructuring for a permanent change.
C. The goal-directed system cooperates with the stimulus-response one.
D. The stimulus-driven system requires conscious effort to activate habits.
13. What enables the goal-directed system to become automatic
A. Repeated practice. B. Frequent overrides.
C. Reduced mental load. D. One-time adaptations.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The force behind nicotine addiction. B. The benefits of building good habits.
C. The complexity of forming bad habits. D. The value of foreseeing natural selection.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Old habits die hard B. Habit is what keeps you going
C. Let’s make the right resolutions D. It takes resolution to keep resolutions
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
A couple of years ago, my wife bought my four-year-old son a set of wooden ramps (坡道) that could be combined with furniture to create courses for little balls to run through. The first course was easy to build. ____16____ Could we make the balls turn corners or go uphill Would the piano bench support a ramp The possibilities seemed endless. Over the next two years, we kept adjusting and adding elements to our courses. By the time my son lost interest, we had become experts, seeing ramp potential in almost anything.
I hadn’t expected to enjoy the ramps so much. ____17____ This is a form of effortful repetition. In many areas of life, we repeat tasks to perfect them. This is repetition in pursuit of an ideal.
____18____ It allows for exploration and discovery. For instance, when cooking, you can adjust ingredients over time, developing your cooking talent. In music, you can vary your performance, creating new compositions. Repainting a landscape can reveal new artistic opportunities. In these cases, repetition leads to an expanding set of possibilities, not a fixed endpoint
We’re used to exploring things ourselves, but as artificial intelligence advances, it can relieve us of the burden of trying again. AI systems can generate new versions of existing things, such as custom recipes based on a photo or multiple versions of a song or image. This raises key questions: Can automated exploration replace human creativity Is this variation the same as human creativity ____19____
It feels strange to imagine that soon we may need to remind ourselves to think. AI thinks for us and promises to do the thinking in many contexts. In a world dominated by technology, we already have to remind ourselves to disconnect, go outside, and have non-technological experiences. If we’re not careful, our minds will do less as computers do more. ____20____
A. But as our ambitions grew, so did the challenges.
B. And we may never be able to enjoy another ramp ever again.
C. How come this man-made technology outperforms our brain
D. There’s also another kind of repetition that combines variation.
E. It’s hard for us to decide whether to be the passengers or pilots of our lives.
F. But they turned out to be a special experience of trying, failing and trying again.
G. As AI improves, we may be tempted to let it take over the process of exploration.

Unfortunately, the third month’s check never arrived, and I never heard from the ____21____ again, despite multiple emails. With no ____22____ in sight, I hit rock bottom. Panic replaced ____23____ optimism. I stopped answering phones and ____24____ myself in my room.
One night, a high school friend called. Though the ____25____ thing I wanted to do was admit my failure, I answered in the hope of a ____26____ voice. I listed my problems, but she quickly shut down my self-pity. I was too stunned to return her fire, so I just ____27____.
“What is wrong with you You are a writer, so start writing for magazines.” she shouted. When I mentioned I was ____28____ about what to write, or even where to submit, she snapped, “____29____ the problem! You always got us out of trouble back then-now do the same for yourself.” The memory had _____30_____ my mind, but she was right about it.
Still, I was somewhat _____31_____ and thought for a minute about crossing her off my list. I thought, what is wrong with her That’s the _____32_____ I get for all the support I’ve given her over the years
With nowhere else to turn, I searched online for magazines accepting _____33_____ by email. I found one, wrote an article and sent it off - mostly to prove my friend wrong. To my surprise, the editor accepted it-and it made the _____34_____!
That small win changed something in me. If not for her _____35_____ love, I might not have learned life’s important lesson: What was wrong with me was me.

閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入1個適當的單詞或括號內單詞的正確形式。
In recent decades, Made in China has undergone a remarkable transformation. No longer ____36____ (associate) only with inexpensive goods, the phrase now symbolizes innovation, precision and global influence.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Two days before New Year’s Eve, the world outside Kelly’s home was blanketed in a quiet frost. Twinkling lights hung from the roof, and the house smelled like cinnamon and pine. The day had unfolded like any other holiday afternoon-grocery delivery, a bit of tidying, and a spontaneous gesture of generosity. When she tipped her Uber delivery driver an extra $130 through the app, Kelly felt a quiet joy, imagining how it might brighten someone’s day. She gave it no further thought.
Until the next evening.
It was just after dusk when her doorbell rang. Startled (受驚的), Kelly glanced at her phone and tapped the Ring camera app. There, bundled in a thick jacket and shifting nervously on her feet, stood the same delivery woman from two days before. Her cheeks were tinged pink from the cold, and her eyes carried a restless intensity. She cleared her throat.
“Hi,” the woman began, her voice tentative but urgent. “I am so sorry to bother you. I’m not a psycho, I swear. I’m with Uber.”
Kelly blinked in confusion. The woman gave a tight smile and gestured toward the house with gloved hands, her breath misting in the air.
“I delivered your groceries the other day. I... I think you were overcharged,” she said quickly. “I got a $130 tip and — I just — I didn’t sleep last night. I kept thinking maybe it was a mistake or your card got hacked (被侵入) or something.”
Her voice trembled, part from the cold and part from the weight of anxiety she had clearly carried all night. She rocked on her heels, as though fighting the urge to flee. “I didn’t know how else to find you but to come back. I just — I didn’t want it to affect your account.”
Kelly stepped outside, a mix of surprise and warmth sweeping over her. “You got the money ” she asked.
The woman nodded. “Yeah. I received it. But I wasn’t sure if it was meant for me or not.”
注意：
1. 續寫詞數應為150個左右；
2. 請按如下格式在答題紙的相應位置作答。
“It was for you,” Kelly said with a smile, her voice softening.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Ring camera recording everything, Kelly decided to do one more thing.

Swim shorts, cold fjords (峽灣) and hot water bottles-Lewis Pugh’s approach to climate campaigning is far from conventional. The Ilulissat glacier carves icebergs that are over a kilometre tall including, legend has it, the one that sunk the Titanic. As well as feeding legends, it feeds the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland, and it’s across the mouth of this fjord that Lewis Pugh completed an extremely tiring swim in September, in an attempt to bring about meaningful action on the climate crisis.
Pugh, an endurance swimmer and UN sponsor of the oceans, completed the 7.8km swim on 7 September. Over 12 days, he faced water temperatures of between 0 and 3 degrees. His attempt was hampered (阻礙) by icebergs and ice, which blocked the mouth of the fjord.
“It feels like running across a motorway, except that instead of dodging cars, I’m in 0℃ water dodging icebergs,” he posted on social media. Wearing only speedos (a swimming suit brand), he had to monitor his body temperature constantly due to the risk of hypothermia (低溫癥).
It made Pugh, who was born in Plymouth, the first person to complete a multi-day swim in the Polar regions. He used hot water bottles and hot chocolate to warm up after a period of time in the water, and described the swim as the most challenging of his career.
“We rely on ice for our survival,” he said. “Ice keeps our planet cool enough for us to live. But we are losing it fast. No ice, no life.”
“We have seen so many natural disasters this year-from wildfires in Greece to foods in Germany, extreme snowstorms in Texas. But I also want everyone to be aware of what is happening here in the Arctic.”
Pugh will visit the COP26 conference in November to call for 30 per cent of the world’s oceans to be safeguarded as marine protected areas by 2030. His approach has been described as “speedo diplomacy”.
4. Why does the author mention “Ilulissat glacier” in the first paragraph
A. To stress the extreme challenge of Pugh’s swim. B. To show the urgent need for Arctic protection.
C. To recall the historical sinking of Titanic. D. To describe the dramatic landscape of Greenland.
5. What does the underlined word “dodging” mean in paragraph 3
A. Following. B. Passing. C. Avoiding. D. Ignoring.
6. Which of the following can best describe Lewis Pugh
A. Outgoing. B. Persistent. C. Demanding. D. Stubborn.
7. What does “speedo diplomacy” probably refer to
A. Advocating extreme sports via social media.
B. Preventing natural disasters with joint efforts
C. Promoting environmental policies by swimming.
D. Establishing a marine protected area through negotiation.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【導語】這是一篇新聞報道。主要說明了Lewis Pugh九月在格陵蘭伊盧利薩特冰峽灣完成7.8公里游泳，以呼吁應對氣候危機并推動海洋保護。
【4題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第一段“Swim shorts, cold fjords (峽灣) and hot water bottles-Lewis Pugh’s approach to climate campaigning is far from conventional. The Ilulissat glacier carves icebergs that are over a kilometre tall including, legend has it, the one that sunk the Titanic. As well as feeding legends, it feeds the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland, and it’s across the mouth of this fjord that Lewis Pugh completed an extremely tiring swim in September, in an attempt to bring about meaningful action on the climate crisis.(泳褲、冰冷的峽灣以及熱水袋——萊斯利·普格在氣候保護方面的行動方式絕非傳統之舉。伊盧利薩特冰川會形成高達一公里的冰山，據說其中就有那座導致泰坦尼克號沉沒的冰山。它不僅孕育了諸多傳奇故事，還滋養了格陵蘭島的伊盧利薩特冰峽灣。而在這個峽灣的入口處，萊斯利·普格于九月完成了一次極其艱苦的游泳，旨在推動針對氣候危機采取有意義的行動)”可知，作者在第一段中提及“伊盧利薩特冰川”是為了強調普格游泳所面臨的巨大挑戰。故選A。
【5題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據劃線詞上文“It feels like running across a motorway, except that instead of(感覺就像在高速公路上奔跑一樣，只不過不是……)”以及后文“I’m in 0℃ water dodging icebergs (而是在零攝氏度的水中躲避冰山)”可知，他在水里就像在高速公路上奔跑，需要躲避汽車一樣，只不過他需要躲避的是冰山。故劃線詞意思是“避免”。故選C。
【6題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第二段“Pugh, an endurance swimmer and UN sponsor of the oceans, completed the 7.8km swim on 7 September. Over 12 days, he faced water temperatures of between 0 and 3 degrees. His attempt was hampered (阻礙) by icebergs and ice, which blocked the mouth of the fjord.(普格是一位耐力游泳運動員，也是聯合國海洋事務的贊助人。他于 9 月 7 日完成了 7.8 公里的游泳比賽。在 12 天的時間里，他所面對的水溫在 0 到 3 攝氏度之間。他的嘗試受到了冰山和冰塊的阻礙，這些冰塊阻塞了峽灣的入口)”可知，利沃斯·普格的特點是堅韌不拔。故選B。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據最后一段“Pugh will visit the COP26 conference in November to call for 30 per cent of the world’s oceans to be safeguarded as marine protected areas by 2030. His approach has been described as “speedo diplomacy”.( Pugh將于 11 月出席 COP26 大會，呼吁到 2030 年將全球 30%的海洋區域劃定為海洋保護區。他的這一做法被形容為“速度型外交”)”可知，Pugh通過穿泳褲在極地游泳的行為，呼吁關注氣候變化并推動海洋保護政策（如 2030 年保護 30% 海洋），本質是以游泳為手段的環保行動。即“速度外交”這個詞大概指的是通過游泳來推行環保政策。故選C。
C
A desire for offline community and connection is fuelling a resurgence (復興) of interest in book clubs in the UK. Move over, Netflix-there’s a novel favourite pastime in town.
“The rise of book clubs is a testament to our longing for deeper connections,” says Holly Cooke, founder of The Lonely Girls Club.
Across the UK, book clubs are experiencing a comeback. Eventbrite reported a 350% increase in book club listings over the past four years, with more than 127,000 attendees getting together over their shared love of the written word. Meetup revealed that “book club” has surged back into the top 10 most searched events, reclaiming its popularity after a dip in 2021.
The resurgence of book clubs is more than just a statistical anomaly (反常). Many believe it’s a cultural phenomenon.
“I discovered the book club on Eventbrite in 2021, as things were starting to open up following the Covid-19 lockdowns,” says Marta Kizym, a regular attendee. “I loved it because we were all just relaxing at home, but what I really cherish is meeting new people and forming genuine connections. I’ve made many close friends through the book club, people I can truly be myself with.”
In an era of digital overload, book clubs also provide a welcome digital detox. After spending lockdown glued to screens, people are finding comfort in physical books and in-person discussions. “People don’t want to be on their phones any more,” shares Cooke. “They’re trying to get away from technology in a variety of different ways.”
Laura Menendez, another book club goer, adds: “For me, it’s the feeling of being welcome in a non-consuming space that circles around community. It’s one of the few things you can do nowadays that don’t involve spending money or consuming anything. It has restored my belief in the value of community and diversity in communities.”
Obviously, book clubs are proving that the age-old tradition of reading together is far from out-dated. The signs are, it’s never been more relevant.
8. Why does the author include numbers in paragraph 3
A To contrast book clubs with online entertainment.
B. To dismiss the trend as a temporary phenomenon.
C. To emphasize the renewed popularity of book clubs.
D. To demonstrate the economic profitability of book clubs.
9. What do we know about the book clubs from paragraph 6
A. They help reduce screen time through offline activities.
B. They make criticism of modern technology use.
C. They lose appeal with the popularity of digital reading.
D. They require members to use digital devices for club activities.
10. What can be inferred about the book clubs from Laura Menendez’s words
A. They focus more on social interaction than reading.
B. They primarily attract people who dislike consumption.
C. They encourage authentic friendships beyond community.
D. They offer a community independent of consumerism.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards reading together
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了在英國，由于人們對線下社區和聯系的渴望，讀書俱樂部正重新興起，成為一種受歡迎的消遣方式，它為人們提供了在數字時代中難得的線下交流和數字排毒的機會。
【8題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章第三段“Across the UK, book clubs are experiencing a comeback. Eventbrite reported a 350% increase in book club listings over the past four years, with more than 127,000 attendees getting together over their shared love of the written word. Meetup revealed that “book club” has surged back into the top 10 most searched events, reclaiming its popularity after a dip in 2021.(在整個英國，讀書俱樂部正在卷土重來。Eventbrite報告稱，過去四年里，讀書俱樂部的列表數量增加了350%，有超過12.7萬名參與者因為對文字的共同熱愛而聚集在一起。Meetup透露，“讀書俱樂部”已經重新躋身搜索量最高的十大活動之列，在2021年人氣下滑后，它又重新獲得了人們的青睞)”可推知，作者在第三段中引入數字是為了強調讀書俱樂部重新流行起來的情況。故選C項。
【9題詳解】
細節理解題。根據文章第六段中的“In an era of digital overload, book clubs also provide a welcome digital detox. After spending lockdown glued to screens, people are finding comfort in physical books and in-person discussions.(在數字過載的時代，讀書俱樂部也提供了一個受歡迎的數字排毒機會。在經歷了長時間的封鎖并緊盯著屏幕后，人們從實體書和面對面的討論中找到了安慰)”可知，讀書俱樂部通過線下活動幫助人們減少屏幕時間。故選A項。
【10題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章倒數第二段“Laura Menendez, another book club goer, adds: “For me, it’s the feeling of being welcome in a non-consuming space that circles around community. It’s one of the few things you can do nowadays that don’t involve spending money or consuming anything. It has restored my belief in the value of community and diversity in communities.”(另一位讀書俱樂部的參與者Laura Menendez補充道：“對我來說，這是一種在圍繞社區的非消費空間中受到歡迎的感覺。這是你現在能做的為數不多的幾件事之一，既不需要花錢，也不需要消費任何東西。它讓我重新相信了社區的價值和社區中的多樣性。”)”可推知，Laura Menendez認為讀書俱樂部提供了一個不涉及消費的社區空間，這表明讀書俱樂部提供了一個獨立于消費主義的社區。故選D項。
【11題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段“Obviously, book clubs are proving that the age-old tradition of reading together is far from out-dated. The signs are, it’s never been more relevant.(顯然，讀書俱樂部正在證明，一起閱讀的古老傳統遠未過時。種種跡象表明，它從未像現在這樣重要過)”可知，作者認為讀書俱樂部正在證明一起閱讀的古老傳統遠未過時，且它從未像現在這樣重要過。由此推知，作者對一起閱讀持樂觀態度。故選B項。

Did you make any resolutions this new year If you did, are you keeping to them Well done if you are. A survey in America suggests half of new-year resolvers give up by the end of March. More scientific studies confirm that it takes months for a new behaviour to stick.
Habitual behaviour emerges in response to dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure. Two brain systems are involved. One, in the basal ganglia (基底核), responds automatically to certain stimuli. For example, your morning alarm is a stimulus that activates your “getting up” habit. This will include sub-habits such as “shower”, “get dressed’’, “drive to office”, each with their own triggering stimuli and dopamine reward. The other brain system, which is goal-directed, is located in the cortex (大腦皮層). Its dopamine reward comes from a deliberate action being successfully performed. This goal-directed system can override the stimulus-response one. For example, if the radio tells you of a traffic problem, the “drive to office” sub-routine will need conscious adaptation. For one-time adaptations of habits, this arrangement of routine and override works well. But permanent changes, such as breaking an old habit requires weakening the stimulus-driven system to reduce the relevance of old stimuli and strengthening the goal-directed one to increase that of new ones.
In a paper published recently, Eike Buabang and his colleagues at Trinity College review the evidence behind various ways. In practice, most approaches seem to operate on the stimulus-response side. Deliberate repetition trains the brain so that what was once goal-directed becomes automatic. In the case of driving to work, the reward to do this is strong—you won’t get paid otherwise.
Why people learn bad habits in the first place remains mysterious. Most habits form precisely because they are helpful. Automatic behaviours, such as those involved in a morning routine, reduce cognitive load and free mental resources for other tasks, such as working out what to say in the ten-o’clock meeting. But these mechanisms can be disrupted. The nicotine taken in by smoking tobacco — a type of habit so powerful that it has a special name, “addiction” stimulates dopamine production directly. This is something natural selection could not have foreseen. Non-addictive habits like procrastination are harder to explain.
In the end, though, when it comes to habit-formation, the old joke gives us the solution: “How many psychoanalysts (精神分析學家) does it take to change a light bulb Only one, but the light bulb has to really want to change.”
12. What do we know about habit formation according to paragraph 2
A. Dopamine rewards are only produced by goal-directed behaviors.
B. Habit building system needs restructuring for a permanent change.
C. The goal-directed system cooperates with the stimulus-response one.
D. The stimulus-driven system requires conscious effort to activate habits.
13. What enables the goal-directed system to become automatic
A. Repeated practice. B. Frequent overrides.
C. Reduced mental load. D. One-time adaptations.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The force behind nicotine addiction. B. The benefits of building good habits.
C. The complexity of forming bad habits. D. The value of foreseeing natural selection.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Old habits die hard B. Habit is what keeps you going
C. Let’s make the right resolutions D. It takes resolution to keep resolutions
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要從神經科學角度解釋習慣的形成機制，以及意志力在改變習慣中的關鍵作用。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第二段中“But permanent changes, such as breaking an old habit requires weakening the stimulus-driven system to reduce the relevance of old stimuli and strengthening the goal-directed one to increase that of new ones.(但如果是永久性的改變，例如改掉舊習慣需要削弱刺激-驅動系統，以降低舊刺激因素的相關性，同時強化目標導向型系統，從而增強新刺激因素的相關性)”可知，永久性的行為改變需要削弱刺激-驅動系統，同時強化目標導向型系統，由此推知習慣養成系統需要重組才能永久改變，故選B。
【13題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第三段中“Deliberate repetition trains the brain so that what was once goal-directed becomes automatic.(有意識的不斷重復能訓練大腦，讓原本需要目標驅動的行為逐漸變成一種自動行為)”可知，不斷重復能讓原本需要目標驅動的行為逐漸變成一種自動行為，故選A。
【14題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據第四段內容，結合首句“Why people learn bad habits in the first place remains mysterious.(人們最初為什么會養成壞習慣仍然是個謎)”和末句“Non-addictive habits like procrastination are harder to explain.(像拖延癥這樣的非成癮性習慣更難解釋)”可知，第四段主要講述養成壞習慣的難解之處，故選C。
【15題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據全文內容，結合第一段中“More scientific studies confirm that it takes months for a new behaviour to stick.(更多的科學研究證實，養成一種新習慣需要幾個月的時間)”和最后一段“In the end, though, when it comes to habit-formation, the old joke gives us the solution: ‘How many psychoanalysts (精神分析學家) does it take to change a light bulb Only one, but the light bulb has to really want to change.’(最后，說到習慣的形成，有個老笑話給了我們答案：‘換一個燈泡需要多少個精神分析學家？只需要一個，但前提是燈泡本身真的渴望改變。’)”可知，文章分析了習慣形成的過程（多巴胺作用、基底神經節與皮層的雙重腦系統），強調意志力在養成好習慣和打破壞習慣中的關鍵作用，D項“堅持決心是需要決心的”最適合作為標題，故選D。

A couple of years ago, my wife bought my four-year-old son a set of wooden ramps (坡道) that could be combined with furniture to create courses for little balls to run through. The first course was easy to build. ____16____ Could we make the balls turn corners or go uphill Would the piano bench support a ramp The possibilities seemed endless. Over the next two years, we kept adjusting and adding elements to our courses. By the time my son lost interest, we had become experts, seeing ramp potential in almost anything.
I hadn’t expected to enjoy the ramps so much. ____17____ This is a form of effortful repetition. In many areas of life, we repeat tasks to perfect them. This is repetition in pursuit of an ideal.
____18____ It allows for exploration and discovery. For instance, when cooking, you can adjust ingredients over time, developing your cooking talent. In music, you can vary your performance, creating new compositions. Repainting a landscape can reveal new artistic opportunities. In these cases, repetition leads to an expanding set of possibilities, not a fixed endpoint
We’re used to exploring things ourselves, but as artificial intelligence advances, it can relieve us of the burden of trying again. AI systems can generate new versions of existing things, such as custom recipes based on a photo or multiple versions of a song or image. This raises key questions: Can automated exploration replace human creativity Is this variation the same as human creativity ____19____
It feels strange to imagine that soon we may need to remind ourselves to think. AI thinks for us and promises to do the thinking in many contexts. In a world dominated by technology, we already have to remind ourselves to disconnect, go outside, and have non-technological experiences. If we’re not careful, our minds will do less as computers do more. ____20____
A. But as our ambitions grew, so did the challenges.
B. And we may never be able to enjoy another ramp ever again.
C. How come this man-made technology outperforms our brain
D. There’s also another kind of repetition that combines variation.
E. It’s hard for us to decide whether to be the passengers or pilots of our lives.
F. But they turned out to be a special experience of trying, failing and trying again.
G. As AI improves, we may be tempted to let it take over the process of exploration.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. B

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m thrilled you’re exploring Chinese poetry! The line you mentioned literally means “Close friends within the world’s bounds feel like neighbors, even at the earth’s edge.” It highlights how true friendship exceeds physical distance through emotional connection.
This philosophy stems from traditional Chinese values. Ancient scholars believed spiritual bonds outweighed geographical separation, reflecting Confucian ideals of harmony and collective unity. Such lines reveal our cultural emphasis on enduring relationships over physical closeness.

Yours,

第二節（滿分25分）
47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Two days before New Year’s Eve, the world outside Kelly’s home was blanketed in a quiet frost. Twinkling lights hung from the roof, and the house smelled like cinnamon and pine. The day had unfolded like any other holiday afternoon-grocery delivery, a bit of tidying, and a spontaneous gesture of generosity. When she tipped her Uber delivery driver an extra $130 through the app, Kelly felt a quiet joy, imagining how it might brighten someone’s day. She gave it no further thought.
Until the next evening.
It was just after dusk when her doorbell rang. Startled (受驚的), Kelly glanced at her phone and tapped the Ring camera app. There, bundled in a thick jacket and shifting nervously on her feet, stood the same delivery woman from two days before. Her cheeks were tinged pink from the cold, and her eyes carried a restless intensity. She cleared her throat.
“Hi,” the woman began, her voice tentative but urgent. “I am so sorry to bother you. I’m not a psycho, I swear. I’m with Uber.”
Kelly blinked in confusion. The woman gave a tight smile and gestured toward the house with gloved hands, her breath misting in the air.
“I delivered your groceries the other day. I... I think you were overcharged,” she said quickly. “I got a $130 tip and — I just — I didn’t sleep last night. I kept thinking maybe it was a mistake or your card got hacked (被侵入) or something.”
Her voice trembled, part from the cold and part from the weight of anxiety she had clearly carried all night. She rocked on her heels, as though fighting the urge to flee. “I didn’t know how else to find you but to come back. I just — I didn’t want it to affect your account.”
Kelly stepped outside, a mix of surprise and warmth sweeping over her. “You got the money ” she asked.
The woman nodded. “Yeah. I received it. But I wasn’t sure if it was meant for me or not.”
注意：
1. 續寫詞數應為150個左右；
2. 請按如下格式在答題紙的相應位置作答。
“It was for you,” Kelly said with a smile, her voice softening.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Ring camera recording everything, Kelly decided to do one more thing.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“It was for you,” Kelly said with a smile, her voice softening. The woman stared at her, lips parted slightly, unsure whether to believe her ears. Her eyes welled up. “Thank you... I’ve been delivering every day this month just to cover rent,” she whispered. “But I couldn’t sleep thinking it might not be rightfully mine.” Kelly’s gaze lingered on her, moved by her honesty. “You came all the way back just to make sure ” The woman gave a shy nod. Kelly felt a warmth swell in her chest. “I wish more people were like you,” she murmured. Under the porch light they hugged and said goodbye. (95 words)
The Ring camera recording everything, Kelly decided to do one more thing. She uploaded the short video to a neighborhood group with the caption: “Some hearts shine even brighter than holiday lights.” The post quickly spread-likes, comments, then shares. Messages poured in praising the woman’s honesty and humility. A small community fund was soon set up in her name, and strangers offered donations and even job leads. That night, as Kelly watched snowflakes drift lazily past the window, she glanced at the glowing screen one last time. There, frozen in the video’s thumbnail, was the woman’s face lit softly by the porch light-nervous, brave, and unmistakably kind. (95 words)
