At 27, I had been wrestling with stress and anxiety, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend's firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost—$130 for an initial 65-minute session—was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding caffeine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who assessed my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James examined my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10—13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points targeted specific meridians(經絡) to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20—25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a Zen-like state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of peace that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities and alcohol to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life's pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As someone who struggles to unwind, I found it incredibly effective and plan to incorporate(包含) it into my routine. It's a reminder to prioritize self-care among the chaos of work and daily life.
(　　)24. Why did James examine the author's tongue
A. To evaluate her level of stress. B. To clarify the needle placement.
C. To confirm her mental disease. D. To get a broad idea of her health.
(　　)25. What did the author think of her acupuncture session
A. It was unbearable. B. It was cost-effective.
C. It was transformative. D. It was time-consuming.
(　　)26. How did acupuncture affect the author
A. Her stress came less frequently. B. She regained her peace of mind.
C. Her anxiety totally disappeared. D. She achieved work-life balance.
(　　)27. What does the underlined word “unwind” in the last paragraph mean
A. Relax. B. Balance. C. Focus. D. React.

For humans, aging is an unavoidable process. But axolotls(蠑螈), those cute, smiling creatures, seemingly avoid this fate. In a phenomenon called neoteny(幼態持續), axolotls never outgrow their larval (幼蟲的) stage, looking like oversized babies as adults. Not only do they look youthful, with feathery gills and a dorsal fin, but these critically endangered Mexican creatures experience few physical declines and diseases, and can regenerate limbs, tail, and even organs over their 21-year lifespan. For that reason, axolotls are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to resist aging.
A recent study has shed new light on a fascinating aspect of these creatures: Their bodies stop one of the key mechanisms of aging—the epigenetic(表觀遺傳的) clock—when they're just four years old. An epigenetic clock estimates an animal's age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turn its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of injury, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age could be much older than its chronological or real age.
Understanding this mechanism could advance the search for effective anti-aging therapies(治療) for humans, which is a significant focus given the booming $40 billion anti-aging market, which is expected to grow to $60 billion by 2032. What's more, understanding axolotl genetics may lead to breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, helping to develop treatments for cell and muscle regeneration, and potentially limb regeneration. James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Maine, who was not involved in the study, said, “It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration. If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.”
The study, conducted by geneticist Steve Horvath and biologist Maximina Yun, involved examining 180 axolotls aged from four weeks to 21 years. “We found that a reliable epigenetic clock could only be established for the first four years, after which the chemical markers remained constant, indicating a form of arrested development. Overall, the study gives us hope that if we find out how the axolotl is able to stop the clock,” Yun says, “maybe we can recreate this in other organisms.”
(　　)28. What inspired scientists to study axolotls
A. Their resistance to getting old. B. Their critically endangered status.
C. Their cute and smiling appearance. D. Their adaptation to the environment.
(　　)29. What does the epigenetic clock measure
A. How many genes there are in an organism.
B. How physical appearance gradually changes.
C. How biological and chronological age are mismatched.
D. How genes are expressed in response to life experiences.
(　　)30. Why does the author mention James Godwin's words in Paragraph 3
A. To provide a context for the research. B. To describe the characteristics of axolotls.
C. To emphasize the importance of the study. D. To explain the complexity of regeneration.
(　　)31. What might Horvath and Yun further explore
A. The gene expression gap between young and old axolotls.
B. The mechanism behind the epigenetic clock in axolotls.
C. The impact of diets on axolotls' regenerative abilities.
D. The genetic similarity between axolotls and humans.

While saying “no” can be liberating to some, for others it can be uncomfortable. Sometimes, society teaches us the word “no” is impolite. We feel more obligated(有義務的) to get along with things we honestly do not want to do in order to be socially accepted.
Yet, there are clear benefits to the word “no”. One of the first steps is to find a way to say “no” that feels natural and authentic for you. Perhaps you may find the “sandwich method” helpful. It is an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something positive followed by the “no” and end with something positive.
It's also important to keep in mind that saying “no” to something but giving other options that better fit your needs can also be an effective way to use the power of “no”. Remember that your needs are important and your decisions can directly affect your time and energy.
We all have various roles in our work, parenting, social obligations, and family dynamics. These roles can challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is crucial to your health and well-being. Boundaries can be flexible when appropriate. Take time to reassess your boundaries, taking into account the pros and cons. And remember: Boundaries do not have to be permanent.
Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower. Withdrawal, loss of interest in activities, or having feelings of worthlessness can be more than indicative of saying “no”. If you find yourself saying “no” in a way that leads to isolation, then it might be time to see a mental health professional.
Overall, there isn't a “right” way to say “no”. You will never be able to please everyone. Remember to let your inner confidence shine in your ability to say “no”.
(　　)32. What does society think of saying “no”
A. Understandable. B. Necessary. C. Inconsiderate. D. Indifferent.
(　　)33. How does the “sandwich method” work
A. By avoiding anything negative.
B. By being supportive before and after rejection.
C. By looking on the positive side.
D. By setting permanent boundaries in daily life.
(　　)34. What does the author suggest people do regarding saying “no”
A. Stick to one's decisions. B. Express oneself flexibly.
C. Prioritize others' needs. D. Mind its negative effects.
(　　)35. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of a Gentle Refusal B. How to Take Care of Oneself
C. The Journey of Self-discovery D. How to Satisfy Others' Needs

I love digital spaces! I wouldn't have written the previous sentence five years ago, though. 　36　 I had too many things to keep track of, and too many notifications demanding my attention! My digital world left me distracted and unorganized.
After reading about digital minimalism(極簡主義), I began to slowly declutter my digital life. 　37　
Before I organize digital clutter, I ask myself the following question: What area of digital clutter is causing you the most stress I'll spend 10—15 minutes responding to that question in my journal. 　38　 When I know what's causing me stress, I take tiny action steps.
Previously, I tried to organize my digital life by using folders, file names and some cloud storage. 　39　 I felt less organized and more overwhelmed(不知所措的). My approach to digital clutter had to change. So, I used a few journal questions to create a new organizational system. By responding to the questions, I created an organizational system that works for me. For example, I archived(存檔) most of my digital files. Now I use the search function to find what I need.
Keeping my house tidy is a lifelong process. 　40　 Typically, I spend 10—15 minutes a day organizing my digital spaces. To make decluttering fun, I listen to music or podcasts. Also, I use a checklist to streamline(精簡) my tasks.
A. It's been a game changer!
B. Figure out what works for you.
C. The same goes for digital spaces.
D. In the past, I felt overwhelmed by my digital tools.
E. Writing helps me identify problem areas to focus on.
F. But this approach didn't make sense for my work life.
G. I've decluttered my digital life by using a three-step approach.

“Kevin, Robin broke her arm, so you are to do the solo at the concert,” said Ms Reed, the band director.
“Yes, ma'am,” I replied, trying to hide my despair. Refusing Ms Reed was impossible.
I'm the best player in the sax(薩克斯) section of my school band. I'm good because I practise playing very hard. I love playing my sax. So, what's my problem Stage fright. Performing with a group is no problem. But playing solo
I remembered the last time I tried to do so, it turned out to be a total failure. There were 8 people there. But when it was my turn, I froze. My mouth went dry, like I'd been sucking on paper towels. I couldn't play. After about a minute, my teacher asked me to sit down. I'd better figure it out or I'd freeze again.
When I got home, Mum gave me a big hug and told me Ms Reed called and told me to pick out a piece of music for my solo. I pretended everything was OK and headed for the basement. I play great in the basement. It's cozy down there—just me, my sax, my music stand with the little light, and a couple of spiders(蜘蛛) as my audience.
A voice called from the basement stairs. “Hey, Kevin!” It was my best friend Jill. She's the smartest person I know. I told her the whole thing. When I told her I was so scared, she comforted me, saying it was normal. Before she left, Jill sighed, “Too bad you couldn't just do your solo down here. You sound really great in the basement, so loose and relaxed!”
Jill was gone, but her words were ringing in my ears. “Jill's right. If I could do my solo from here, it'd be no problem. Why can't the school hall feel like my basement ” I said to my spider audience. Then I had an anti-freeze(防怯場) plan.
The day finally came. My solo was the last number in the first half. I took my seat on stage.
Paragraph 1:
When the curtain went up, all I could do was focus on my anti-freeze plan.





Paragraph 2:
With the end of the last note, I looked around and let out a sigh of relief.

We will try to get permission over the phone for you to go, but if we cannot speak to your mother or father before lunch, you will not be allowed to go and will have to stay at school. The ride to the museum will take about 45 minutes, so we will have lunch on the buses. We need everyone to be lined up with their classes at 11:50 a.m., so we can leave ten minutes after that. We'll have up to three hours at the museum, but we must be back at school by five o'clock. Please remember to take your notebooks with you, as your teacher may have some writing assignments for you at the museum. Remember that photography is not allowed inside the museum, so I recommend that you leave your cameras inside your desks and get them once we get back to school. If you have any questions about today's trip, you may ask your teacher between classes.

第二部分　閱讀(共兩節,滿分50分)
第一節(共15小題;每小題2.5分,滿分37.5分)
A
本文是一篇應用文。因更有機會看到極光,Yellowknife成為觀賞北極光的好去處。本文介紹了當地旅游公司提供的北極光旅游套餐。
21. C　細節理解題。根據Where to go to see the northern lights部分第二段最后兩句“Our prime location, directly beneath the Aurora Oval, combined with our devoted tourist guides, significantly increases your chances of experiencing this breathtaking phenomenon. That's why aurora seekers from around the world come to Yellowknife to enjoy the display!” 可知,Yellowknife 的絕佳位置(位于極光橢圓區正下方)以及敬業的導游使游客更有機會看到極光這一令人驚嘆的現象,這就是為什么它成為極光探尋者的首選,因此C項“更高的觀賞極光的概率”正確。
22. B　細節理解題。根據Our passion部分最后三句“We love entertaining special requests in hopes of making your dreams come true. If you're interested in something not listed on our site or have an idea that complements what we offer, please let us know! We're here to make it happen and ensure your adventure is truly unforgettable!”可知,Lights Over Yellowknife 這個團隊喜歡滿足游客的特殊要求,盡力讓游客夢想成真,如果游客有網站上未列出的需求或能補充他們所提供服務的想法,都可以告知,他們會努力實現,這表明該團隊提供的是量身定制的客戶服務。
23. D　細節理解題。根據表格中“Northern Lights Tour Package”的價格信息“1st Night $85/person;2nd Night $75/person;3rd Night+ $65/person”可知,一對夫婦(兩個人)進行三晚的極光之旅,費用為(85+75+65)×2=450美元。
B
本文是一篇記敘文。作者27歲時因為壓力和焦慮嘗試了針灸,文章詳細描述了作者第一次體驗針灸的過程及效果。針灸雖然不能解決所有問題,但可以有效幫助她放松。
24. D　細節理解題。根據第二段最后一句“James examined my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.”可知,針灸師James檢查作者的舌頭是為了對其整體的健康狀況有一個了解,以便指導施針。
25. C　推理判斷題。根據最后兩段可知,作者雖未稱針灸是“治愈方法”,但明確表示這一體驗“影響深遠”(impactful),并計劃將其納入生活常規。通過針灸,她重新意識到自我關懷的重要性。這種從緊繃到放松的顯著變化體現了“變革性”(transformative)。
26. B　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段可知,針灸后作者感受到的“深層的平靜”(profound sense of peace)是直接的、暫時性的效果。雖然壓力未完全消失,但她在治療期間和結束后恢復了內心的平靜(peace of mind)。
27. A　詞義猜測題。作者承認自己平時難以從壓力中“解綁”(unwind),而針灸幫助她達到了這一狀態。上文提到的“Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life's pressures.”和acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress也說明unwind指“放松”。
C
本文是一篇說明文,介紹了一項關于蠑螈的研究發現,以及該研究對人類抗衰老治療和再生醫學可能帶來的重要意義以及未來可能的探索方向。
28. A　細節理解題。根據第一段最后一句“For that reason, axolotls are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to resist aging.”可知,這里的that reason指的是前面提到的蠑螈不僅外表年輕,身體機能衰退少、疾病少,還能再生肢體、尾巴甚至器官等,也就是它們抵抗衰老的能力。因此,科學家研究蠑螈是因為它們抵抗衰老的能力。
29. D　細節理解題。根據第二段最后兩句“An epigenetic clock estimates an animal's age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turn its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of injury, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age could be much older than its chronological or real age.”可知,表觀遺傳時鐘是根據生活事件(如壓力或飲食)如何使動物的基因開啟或關閉來估計動物的年齡,也就是測量基因如何因生活經歷而表現出來。
30. C　推理判斷題。根據第三段中James Godwin說的話“It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration. If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.”可知,他認為這項關于蠑螈的研究在衰老和再生方面是一個巨大的進步,如果能理解其中的機制,將有很多改善人類健康的機會。作者引用他的話是為了強調這項研究的重要性。
31. B　推理判斷題。根據最后一段最后一句“‘...Overall, the study gives us hope that if we find out how the axolotl is able to stop the clock,’ Yun says, ‘maybe we can recreate this in other organisms.’”可知,研究發現蠑螈在四歲時表觀遺傳時鐘停止,Yun 表示如果能弄清楚蠑螈是如何讓這個時鐘停止的,也許就能在其他生物體中重現這一現象。所以 Horvath 和 Yun 可能會進一步探索蠑螈表觀遺傳時鐘背后的機制。
D
本文是一篇說明文,介紹了如何優雅而有效地表達拒絕的藝術。
32. C　推理判斷題。根據第一段第二句“Sometimes, society teaches us the word ‘no’ is impolite.”可知,社會認為說“不”是不禮貌的行為,即inconsiderate(不體諒他人的)。
33. B　細節理解題。根據第二段最后一句“Tell the person something positive followed by the ‘no’ and end with something positive.”可知,三明治法是在拒絕前后都給予積極回應,即“在被拒絕前后都給予支持”。
34. D　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段可知,作者在強調堅持立場和自我表達的積極意義的同時,特別提醒讀者要注意過度拒絕可能帶來的負面效應(如社交孤立、自我價值感降低等),并建議當出現這些情況時應尋求專業幫助。因此,最符合作者建議的是“注意其負面效應”。
35. A　標題歸納題。全文圍繞如何優雅地說“不”展開,介紹了拒絕的方法和重要性,因此“溫和拒絕的力量”最適合作為標題。
第二節(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)
本文是一篇記敘文,講述了作者實踐數字極簡主義(digital minimalism)的心路歷程。
36. D　上文提到“五年前我不會這么說”,下文描述了作者過去數字生活混亂的狀態。D項“過去,數字工具讓我不堪重負”完美銜接,用in the past呼應five years ago的時間對比。
37. A　上文講述開始實踐數字極簡主義,A項“這完全改變了我的生活”作為段落總結,用game changer強調轉變效果,引出下文具體方法。
38. E　上文提到通過寫日記找出壓力源,E項“寫作幫助我識別需要關注的問題區域”具體說明寫作的作用,與下文“找到壓力源后采取行動”形成邏輯鏈條。
39. F　上文描述舊的整理方式(文件夾等),F項“但這種方式不適合我的工作”用轉折詞but引出舊方法的失敗,為下文新方法做鋪墊。
40. C　上文說保持房屋整潔是長期過程,C項“數字空間也是如此”用the same goes for建立類比,自然過渡到數字空間整理的日常實踐。

第二節(滿分25分)
Paragraph 1:
When the curtain went up, all I could do was focus on my anti-freeze plan. Taking a deep breath, I just took the hall for my basement and the audience the spiders. I reminded myself to focus on my hands—where I had written out the starting notes of my favourite “Summertime”. And then I blew. The first few notes sang out. Not strong, but they were there, and right. Then the next notes came, and the next. I started to hear the song, to feel the music flowing from my sax. I forgot the hall, the audience, the band, and my fear.
Paragraph 2:
With the end of the last note, I looked around and let out a sigh of relief. There was silence. Then the room broke into applause. As I walked off the stage, a sense of accomplishment washed over me. Jill approached with a brilliant smile, giving me a high five. “Kevin, that was incredible! You really made it,” she exclaimed. I felt a surge of confidence and relief—I could conquer my stage fright!And as I made my way back to my seat, I knew that from now on, every performance would be a chance to shine, not a moment to fear.
