The idea that eating cocoa-rich, dark chocolate may offer health benefits is not new. Cocoa is rich in compounds (化合物) called polyphenols, which have been shown to provide various health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, and improving our feelings.
Now, a new study finds people who have a habit of eating a little dark chocolate — about an ounce per day —have a 21% lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), compared to people who don’t eat it.
“We are a little bit surprised to see that effect size,” says study author Dr. Qi Sun, an associate professor at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
Researchers studied data from about 192,000 adults who completed diet questionnaires over many years — including how much and what type of chocolate they ate — as part of the long-term health studies. People who ate milk chocolate, which has more sugar and less cocoa, had no reduction in diabetes risk. And, over the course of the study, milk chocolate eaters tended to gain weight, which contributes to the risk of diabetes. However, eating dark chocolate was not related to weight gain.
One reason dark chocolate may be helpful is because of its high levels of flavanols, a type of plant compound found in cocoa beans. These flavanols can help lower blood pressure. Previous research has shown that dark chocolate can also improve insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity, a measure of how well the body responds to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar levels.
“While the study results are promising, it’s important to remember that eating too much chocolate can lead to weight gain, which increases the risk of diabetes. People in the study ate about an ounce of dark chocolate each day, which seemed to offer health benefits without the side effects. It wasn’t huge amounts of dark chocolate people in the study were eating,” says researcher Jeffery Tessem of Brigham Young University.
28. What does the new study find?
A. Milk chocolate might help us lose weight.
B. Polyphenols in cocoa can lower blood pressure.
C. Drinking coffee certainly brings health benefits.
D. Eating dark chocolate may cut the risk of diabetes.
29. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By doing diet surveys. B. By interviewing patients online.
C. By giving a test in a lab. D. By collecting answers of pupils.
30. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5?
A. Provide examples. B. Offer an explanation.
C. Make a summary. D. Draw comparisons.
31. What does Tessem probably suggest about taking in dark chocolate?
A. Trying different tastes of dark chocolate.
B. Having it only for the weight-loss program.
C. Striking a balance between benefits and amounts.
D. Adding it to the daily diet of middle-aged people.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现,适量食用富含可可的黑巧克力可以降低21%罹患2型糖尿病的风险,并且不会增加体重。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, a new study finds people who have a habit of eating a little dark chocolate — about an ounce per day — have a 21% lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, compared to people who don’t eat it.(现在,一项新的研究发现,有吃一点黑巧克力习惯的人——每天大约一盎司——患2型糖尿病的风险比不吃黑巧克力的人低21%)”可知,这项新研究发现,吃黑巧克力会降低患糖尿病的风险。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Researchers studied data from about 192,000 adults who completed diet questionnaires over many years—including how much and what type of chocolate they ate—as part of the long-term health studies.(作为长期健康研究的一部分,研究人员研究了大约19.2万名成年人多年来完成的饮食调查问卷的数据,包括他们吃了多少巧克力和什么类型的巧克力)”可知,研究人员通过调查人们的日常饮食来开展此科研活动。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“One reason dark chocolate may be helpful is because of its high levels of flavanols, a type of plant compound found in cocoa beans. These flavanols can help lower blood pressure. Previous research has shown that dark chocolate can also improve insulin sensitivity, a measure of how well the body responds to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar levels.(黑巧克力可能有帮助的一个原因是它含有高水平的黄烷醇,一种在可可豆中发现的植物化合物。这些黄烷醇可以帮助降低血压。先前的研究表明,黑巧克力还可以提高胰岛素敏感性,这是一种衡量身体对胰岛素反应的指标,胰岛素是一种控制血糖水平的激素)”可知作者在此意在解释吃黑巧克力会降低患糖尿病风险的原因。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“People in the study ate about an ounce of dark chocolate each day, which seemed to offer health benefits without the side effects. It wasn’t huge amounts of dark chocolate people in the study were eating(参与研究的人每天吃大约一盎司的黑巧克力,这似乎对健康有益而没有副作用。研究中人们吃的黑巧克力量并不大)”可推断,Tessem可能会建议人们在摄入黑巧克力时,注意食量均衡。故选C。
D
A groundbreaking nine-year study found that elephants approaching small farms in Kenya avoid beehive fences (蜂巢围栏) with live honey bees up to 86% of the time during crop seasons. This natural fence has helped reduce human-elephant conflict (冲突) for local farmers while also enabling them to make money by selling honey.
The study was carried out by Save the Elephants (STE) along with the Wildlife Research and Training Institute (WRTI) and the University of Oxford, highlighting how bees can be used as a natural tool to protect both crops and wildlife.
Kenya’s growing human population has led to conflicts between farmers and elephants. To address this, the Kenya Wildlife Service has worked with STE to protect both wildlife and farmers. One solution is the use of beehive fences, which were introduced in 2007. These fences have beehives placed between posts, using bees to create a natural barrier. Elephants, afraid of bee stings, avoid these areas, while farmers benefit from honey production.
The study tracked 26 farms protected by beehive fences in two villages near Tsavo East National Park, and studied nearly 4,000 reports of elephant approaches. Elephants roam freely in and out of the park throughout the year as they look for mates, food and water, but can be attracted by the smell and richness of agricultural crops.
During the crop-growing seasons, 3,027 elephants approached the farms and the beehive fences successfully deterred (阻止) an annual average of 86.3% of elephants from damaging crops. Across all seasons and the entire study period, including a drought, the fences deterred an annual average of 76% of elephants.
However, challenges such as the drought badly affected honey production. “Kenya is facing increasing challenges with human-elephant conflict,” said Dr. Patrick Omondi, Director of WRTI. “We need more research and support for nature-based solutions to help our communities live better alongside wildlife.”
32. Why were beehive fences set in Kenya?
A. To prevent the locals stealing foods. B. To encourage the villagers to eat honey.
C. To keep elephants away from farms. D. To call on people to protect honeybees.
33. What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Walk around. B. Make progress. C. Cheer up. D. Calm down.
34. What is required to solve the problem facing Kenya according to Omondi?
A. Supplies of large amounts of quality honey.
B. Preventive measures to save elephants in danger.
C. Public support for the change in traditional farming.
D. Long-term answers to human-wildlife living in peace.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Kenya’s Rapid Human Population Growth B. Kenya’s Sweet Solution to Wildlife Conflict
C. Environmentally Friendly Farming Practices D. Nature-based Methods for Raising Honeybees
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了一项为期九年的开创性研究发现,在肯尼亚,蜂巢围栏能有效减少当地农民与大象之间的冲突,同时让农民通过出售蜂蜜获得额外收入。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段及第三段中“These fences have beehives placed between posts, using bees to create a natural barrier. Elephants, afraid of bee stings, avoid these areas, while farmers benefit from honey production. (这些围栏的柱子间放置有蜂箱,利用蜜蜂形成一道天然屏障。大象害怕被蜜蜂蜇咬,会避开这些区域,而农民则可从蜂蜜生产中获益。)”可知,建立蜂巢围栏是为了不让大象靠近农场。故选C。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Elephants roam freely in and out of the park throughout the year as they look for mates, food and water, but can be attracted by the smell and richness of agricultural crops. (大象全年在公园内外自由地roam,它们四处寻找配偶、食物和水源,但可能会被农作物的气味和丰盛所吸引)”可推知,大象全年在公园内外寻找伴侣、食物和水,即四处走动,故画线词意思是“四处走动”。A. Walk around四处走走;B. Make progress取得进步;C. Cheer up振作起来;D. Calm down冷静下来,平静下来。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Kenya is facing increasing challenges with human-elephant conflict,” said Dr. Patrick Omondi, Director of WRTI. “We need more research and support for nature-based solutions to help our communities live better alongside wildlife.” (“肯尼亚在人象冲突方面正面临日益严峻的挑战,”野生动物研究与培训研究所 (WRTI) 主任帕特里克·奥蒙迪博士说道,“我们需要针对基于自然的解决方案开展更多研究并给予更多支持,以帮助我们的社区与野生动物更好地共存。”)”可推断,Omondi认为要解决人类与野生动物之间的冲突,需要建立人与动物和谐相处的长效机制。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“This natural fence has helped reduce human-elephant conflict (冲突) for local farmers while also enabling them to make money by selling honey. (这种自然围栏有助于减少当地农民面临的人象冲突,同时也使他们能够通过销售蜂蜜赚钱)”可知,文章主要介绍了肯尼亚采用蜂巢围栏这一甜蜜的解决方案来有效减少大象对农作物的破坏,同时促进当地蜂蜜产业的发展,故B选项“肯尼亚解决野生动物冲突的甜蜜方案”最符合文章标题。故选B。

It was the time for Maria to step onto the stage, which was the moment she had expected for a long time. Maria’s hands started to shake. Sweat appeared on her forehead and her heart set about racing. She knew clearly that this was her moment to finish what her grandpa had started years ago. But as she was about to begin her performance, doubt came to her mind, “Can I really do this?”
Maria grew up alongside her grandpa who was always lost in the world of piano music, and she fell in love with it from an early age. Her grandpa was happy to teach her to play the piano. Whenever Maria started to worry about making mistakes, her grandpa would tell her to just immerse (使沉浸) herself in the music. Her grandpa’s words could always calm her down.
Three years ago, Maria’s grandpa passed away. His room was filled with lots of old sheet music. Maria’s fingers ran over the yellowed notes on the final page of her grandpa’s unfinished piano music, which he had been working on until the last day of his life. While Maria was looking at the incomplete work, a fire was lit within her. “I will finish it. I have to,” Maria told herself.
Days turned into weeks as Maria lost herself in her grandpa’s world. She read his notes and listened to the recordings of his other works, trying to get his voice. The melody (旋律) was all she could think about. It played in her dreams and rang in her waking hours.
There were times when Maria felt very sad and hopeless, especially when the notes wouldn’t come. She also doubted herself when she couldn’t finish it perfectly. But then there were moments of pure joy when the music flowed through her as if her grandpa was guiding her.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

【答案】
Maria was brought back to the present by the cheers from the audience. She walked onto the stage, but the worries over possible mistakes made it hard for her to breathe. To finish the music was the dream of her grandpa and the reward for her own sweat and tears. Thinking of that, she took a deep breath and remembered her grandpa’s words: “Music isn’t about perfection, Maria. It’s about passion, about putting your soul into every note.” With a peace of mind, she moved to the piano, ready to put on the performance.
Maria gently placed her fingers on the keys. She felt she saw her grandpa’s smile in her mind’s eye. It seemed that the music was telling a story of love that was beyond time. Maria was lost in the beauty of the music and the memory of her grandpa. When the final note faded away, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience jumped and cheered. Tears streamed down Maria’s face. “I have realized my grandpa’s unfinished dream,” she said to herself.
【解析】

The idea that eating cocoa-rich, dark chocolate may offer health benefits is not new. Cocoa is rich in compounds (化合物) called polyphenols, which have been shown to provide various health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, and improving our feelings.
Now, a new study finds people who have a habit of eating a little dark chocolate — about an ounce per day —have a 21% lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), compared to people who don’t eat it.
“We are a little bit surprised to see that effect size,” says study author Dr. Qi Sun, an associate professor at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
Researchers studied data from about 192,000 adults who completed diet questionnaires over many years — including how much and what type of chocolate they ate — as part of the long-term health studies. People who ate milk chocolate, which has more sugar and less cocoa, had no reduction in diabetes risk. And, over the course of the study, milk chocolate eaters tended to gain weight, which contributes to the risk of diabetes. However, eating dark chocolate was not related to weight gain.
One reason dark chocolate may be helpful is because of its high levels of flavanols, a type of plant compound found in cocoa beans. These flavanols can help lower blood pressure. Previous research has shown that dark chocolate can also improve insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity, a measure of how well the body responds to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar levels.
“While the study results are promising, it’s important to remember that eating too much chocolate can lead to weight gain, which increases the risk of diabetes. People in the study ate about an ounce of dark chocolate each day, which seemed to offer health benefits without the side effects. It wasn’t huge amounts of dark chocolate people in the study were eating,” says researcher Jeffery Tessem of Brigham Young University.
28. What does the new study find?
A. Milk chocolate might help us lose weight.
B. Polyphenols in cocoa can lower blood pressure.
C. Drinking coffee certainly brings health benefits.
D. Eating dark chocolate may cut the risk of diabetes.
29. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By doing diet surveys. B. By interviewing patients online.
C. By giving a test in a lab. D. By collecting answers of pupils.
30 What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5?
A. Provide examples. B. Offer an explanation.
C. Make a summary. D. Draw comparisons.
31. What does Tessem probably suggest about taking in dark chocolate?
A. Trying different tastes of dark chocolate.
B. Having it only for the weight-loss program.
C. Striking a balance between benefits and amounts.
D. Adding it to the daily diet of middle-aged people.
D
A groundbreaking nine-year study found that elephants approaching small farms in Kenya avoid beehive fences (蜂巢围栏) with live honey bees up to 86% of the time during crop seasons. This natural fence has helped reduce human-elephant conflict (冲突) for local farmers while also enabling them to make money by selling honey.
The study was carried out by Save the Elephants (STE) along with the Wildlife Research and Training Institute (WRTI) and the University of Oxford, highlighting how bees can be used as a natural tool to protect both crops and wildlife.
Kenya’s growing human population has led to conflicts between farmers and elephants. To address this, the Kenya Wildlife Service has worked with STE to protect both wildlife and farmers. One solution is the use of beehive fences, which were introduced in 2007. These fences have beehives placed between posts, using bees to create a natural barrier. Elephants, afraid of bee stings, avoid these areas, while farmers benefit from honey production.
The study tracked 26 farms protected by beehive fences in two villages near Tsavo East National Park, and studied nearly 4,000 reports of elephant approaches. Elephants roam freely in and out of the park throughout the year as they look for mates, food and water, but can be attracted by the smell and richness of agricultural crops.
During the crop-growing seasons, 3,027 elephants approached the farms and the beehive fences successfully deterred (阻止) an annual average of 86.3% of elephants from damaging crops. Across all seasons and the entire study period, including a drought, the fences deterred an annual average of 76% of elephants.
However, challenges such as the drought badly affected honey production. “Kenya is facing increasing challenges with human-elephant conflict,” said Dr. Patrick Omondi, Director of WRTI. “We need more research and support for nature-based solutions to help our communities live better alongside wildlife.”
32. Why were beehive fences set in Kenya?
A. To prevent the locals stealing foods. B. To encourage the villagers to eat honey.
C. To keep elephants away from farms. D. To call on people to protect honeybees.
33. What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Walk around. B. Make progress. C. Cheer up. D. Calm down.
34. What is required to solve the problem facing Kenya according to Omondi?
A. Supplies of large amounts of quality honey.
B. Preventive measures to save elephants in danger.
C. Public support for the change in traditional farming.
D. Long-term answers to human-wildlife living in peace.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Kenya’s Rapid Human Population Growth B. Kenya’s Sweet Solution to Wildlife Conflict
C Environmentally Friendly Farming Practices D. Nature-based Methods for Raising Honeybees
