As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation. During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration. As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous melodies (旋律). What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict, they compose something entirely new. 4. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris? A. To share Chinese music culture. B. To give it to her friend as a present. C. To display it at a local studio. D. To teach students full-time. 5. What contributed to the lasting cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre? A. Their common and deep love for traditional Chinese music. B. Their successful performance and inspiration from each other’s music. C. The opportunity to participate in the Bastille Day celebration together. D. The desire to teach music in a virtual way to students around the world. 6. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience? A. It reflected the beauty of nature wonderfully. B. It featured traditional Chinese folk performance. C. It was a musical handshake between civilizations. D. It was an excellent musical instrument exhibition. 7. What does the story mainly convey? A. Music is the source of lasting friendship. B. Mastering an instrument requires practice. C. Traditional music resists modern influences. D. Cooperation across cultures generates innovation. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文, 主要讲述了中国女孩李梅与法国小提琴家皮埃尔因音乐结缘, 共同创作融合东西方音乐元素的作品, 并合作进行虚拟音乐教学, 展现了跨文化合作带来的创新。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty.(作为青年文化交流项目的一部分, 她多年来一直梦想着这一刻, 但在异国他乡代表她的传统的压力让她手心冒汗。)”可知, 李梅带着她的二胡来巴黎是为了分享中国音乐文化。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.(受到彼此音乐的启发, 他们决定将二胡的深情旋律与小提琴的动态范围融为一体, 在即将到来的巴士底日庆祝活动中演出。)”以及第三段中的“The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause.(这种融合创造了一种迷人的音景, 这是两人都无法想象的。演出当晚, 他们的作品《丝路回声》赢得了雷鸣般的掌声。)”可知, 他们成功的表演和从彼此的音乐中获得的灵感促成了李梅和皮埃尔的持久合作。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous melodies(旋律).(二胡悲怆的音调与小提琴铿锵有力的旋律交相呼应, 令观众惊叹不已。)”可知, 《丝绸之路回声》受到观众的热烈欢迎是因为它将二胡和小提琴的音乐元素融合在一起, 实现了东西方音乐文化的交融, 就像文明之间的音乐握手。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict; they compose something entirely new.(当传统与敞开的心相遇时, 它们就不会冲突; 他们创作了一些全新的东西。)”结合文章主要讲述了中国女孩李梅与法国小提琴家皮埃尔因音乐结缘, 共同创作融合东西方音乐元素的作品, 并合作进行虚拟音乐教学, 展现了跨文化合作带来的创新。可知, 这个故事主要传达了跨文化合作产生创新。故选D。 C It’s probably not surprising that a new study has linked added sugar consumption to an increased risk of heart disease, but a less expected discovery is that those who have an occasional sweet treat appear to be at a reduced risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) problems. Eating a cake, or chocolate bar every so often may be better for your heart than a “zero-sugar” diet, according to the research team from Lund University in Sweden. However, this relationship doesn’t hold for other types of sugar consumption, like fizzy drinks and sugary toppings. The researchers looked at records of 69,705 people in Swedish public health databases. The participants, aged between 45 and 83, were quizzed on their diet and lifestyle in 1997 and 2009, then tracked up to 2019. “The most striking finding is the varying relationship between different sources of added sugar and cardiovascular disease risk,” says epidemiologist Suzanne Janzi. “This surprising contrast highlights the importance of considering not just the amount of sugar consumed, but its source and context.” According to the study, sugar intake was grouped into three categories: sugary toppings, sweet treats, and sweetened beverages (饮料) . Type of added sugar consumed was then cross-referenced against seven types of cardiovascular diseases, with several other risk factors like smoking taken into account. Research findings also indicated the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to sweet treats every now and again. There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the different ways we get our sugar. “Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically make you feel less full than solid forms, potentially leading to overconsumption,” says Janzi. “Context also matters — treats are often enjoyed in social settings or special occasions.” Bear in mind that these findings suggest relationships, rather than proving cause and effect. They also don’t factor in other health consequences — like damage to teeth. The researchers suggest future studies could look in more detail at associations between sugar, heart disease, and obesity, for example. “While our observational study cannot establish causation, it suggests that extremely low sugar intake may not be necessary or beneficial for cardiovascular health,” says Janzi. 8. What does the underlined phrase “hold for” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Differ from. B. Lead to. C. Apply to. D. Originate from. 9. Which type of added sugar contributes least to cardiovascular diseases? A. Sugary toppings. B. Sweet treats. C. Solid sugars. D. Sweetened beverages. 10. What may Janzi agree with according to the last two paragraphs? A. The context of sugar consumption counts. B. Tooth damage mainly arises from sugar intake. C. Extremely low sugar intake is always necessary. D. Liquid sugars usually creates a feeling of fullness. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Sugar Intake: Be to Blame for Obesity B. Cardiovascular Health: Cause and Effect C. Hidden Killers: Sugary Drinks and Toppings D. Occasional Sweet Treats: Better for Your Heart 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍新研究表明偶尔吃甜食或有益心脏健康 。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Eating a cake, or chocolate bar every so often may be better for your heart than a ‘zero-sugar’ diet(偶尔吃个蛋糕或巧克力棒可能比‘无糖’饮食对心脏更好)”和后文“other types of sugar consumption, like fizzy drinks and sugary toppings(其他类型的糖消费，如汽水和含糖配料)”，以及转折词“However”可知，此句意思是这种关系并不适用于其他类型的糖消费，如汽水和含糖配料。“hold for”在此处意为 “适用于”。A选项“Differ from(与……不同)”；B选项“Lead to(导致)”；D选项“Originate from(起源于)” 均不符合语境，C选项“Apply to(适用于)” 符合，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Research findings also indicated the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to sweet treats every now and again.(研究结果还表明，在所有心血管疾病中，那些偶尔只吃甜食的人风险最低)”和第五段中“There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the different ways we get our sugar. “Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically make you feel less full than solid forms, potentially leading to overconsumption,” says Janzi.(当谈到我们获取糖的不同方式时，有很多需要考虑的问题。詹齐说：“甜味饮料中的液态糖通常会让你感觉不像固体糖那么饱，这可能会导致过量摄入。”)”可知，甜食对心血管疾病的影响最小。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Context also matters — treats are often enjoyed in social settings or special occasions.(环境也很重要——甜食通常在社交场合或特殊场合享用)”可知，Janzi认为糖消费的环境很重要，故A选项正确。B 选项“牙齿损伤主要源于糖的摄入”，文中虽提到研究未考虑牙齿损伤，但未表明牙齿损伤主要源于糖摄入；C选项“极低的糖摄入总是必要的”与最后一段“While our observational study cannot establish causation, extremely low sugar intake may not be necessary or beneficial for cardiovascular health(虽然我们的观察性研究不能确定因果关系，但它表明极低的糖摄入量可能对心血管健康不是必要的或有益的)”不符；D选项“液体糖通常会产生饱腹感”与倒数第二段“Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically make you feel less full than solid forms(含糖饮料中的液体糖通常比固体形式的糖让你感觉不那么饱)”不符。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇指出一项新研究表明偶尔吃甜食可能降低患心血管疾病的风险，后文围绕此研究展开论述，包括研究过程、不同类型糖对心血管疾病影响的差异等，所以D选项“Occasional Sweet Treats: Better for Your Heart(偶尔吃甜食：对心脏更好)”最能概括文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D For future humans to survive long periods on Mars, growing food on the planet is a must. It would be too costly and risky to rely upon rocket deliveries to meet the food needs of colonists. With this in mind, scientists are exploring ways to improve space farming. At Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands, researchers work in a controlled greenhouse. They have identified a way that could improve crop production in factitious Martian soil, with different crops grown together. The method is called “intercropping”, first invented by ancient Maya farmers in what is now Central America. In their experiments, the researchers grew cherry tomatoes, peas and carrots together in small, round containers. Tomatoes grown in this way produced about double the amount of tomatoes grown alone in the same Martian soil. The tomatoes were also bigger. They flowered and matured earlier, gave more fruit per plant and had thicker stems (茎). The quantity of peas and carrots did not increase with intercropping. The crops were grown in Martian regolith, a soil with no organic matter. Created by researchers from the American space agency NASA, it is a near-perfect physical and chemical match to real Martian soil. For now, human bases on Mars are only seen in movies. But NASA, for example, is developing ways to send people to Mars in the 2030s. Intercropping involves growing plants with properties that could help each other grow. The method makes the best use of resources including water and nutrients. The researchers said the tomato plants in intercropping may have benefited from being close to the pea plants. That is because the peas are good at turning nitrogen (氮) from the air, with the help of bacteria introduced into the soil, into an important nutrient. The carrots produced fewer crops from intercropping and the peas had no change. This was probably due to lack of light. Overall, the tomatoes, peas and carrots grew well, though not as well as in Earth soil in the same greenhouse. 12. What does the underlined word “factitious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Man-made. B. Long-standing. C. Well-known. D. Hard-won. 13. Why may tomatoes grow well among the three plants? A. Because of the role of peas plants in intercropping. B. Because of the soil rich in organic components. C. Because of their adaptation to the environment. D. Because of their little need for sunlight. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the results of this experiment? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Reserved. D. Optimistic. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Does Life Exist on Mars? B. The Upcoming Journey to Mars C. New Ways Are Explored to Improve Space Agriculture on Mars D. Intercropping: a Traditional Agricultural Cropping Pattern 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家为了让未来人类能在火星上长期生存，在荷兰瓦赫宁根大学研究在人造火星土壤中通过间作的方法种植农作物，以提高太空农业产量的相关情况。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“The crops were grown in Martian regolith, a soil with no organic matter. Created by researchers from the American space agency NASA, it is a near - perfect physical and chemical match to real Martian soil.(这些作物是在火星风化层中种植的，这是一种没有有机物质的土壤。它是由美国宇航局的研究人员创造的，它的物理和化学成分与真正的火星土壤几乎完美匹配)” 可推知，研究人员是在人造的火星土壤中进行实验，所以 “factitious” 意思是 “人造的”。选项 A（人造的）符合题意，故选 A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段“The researchers said the tomato plants in intercropping may have benefited from being close to the pea plants. That is because the peas are good at turning nitrogen (氮) from the air, with the help of bacteria introduced into the soil, into an important nutrient.(研究人员说，间作中的番茄植株可能受益于靠近豌豆植株。这是因为在土壤中引入的细菌的帮助下，豌豆善于将空气中的氮转化为一种重要的营养物质)” 可知，番茄在三种植物中长得好是因为豌豆在间作中的作用。故选 A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “Overall, the tomatoes, peas and carrots grew well, though not as well as in Earth soil in the same greenhouse.(总的来说，西红柿、豌豆和胡萝卜长得很好，尽管不如在同一温室的地球土壤中长得好)” 可推知，作者认为实验结果是积极的，对其持乐观态度。故选 D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，尤其是第二段“With this in mind, scientists are exploring ways to improve space farming.(考虑到这一点，科学家们正在探索改善太空农业的方法)” 可知，文章主要讲的是探索在火星上改善太空农业的新方法。选项 C“探索在火星上改善太空农业的新方法”为短文的最佳标题。故选 C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In ancient times, the more information our ancestors had, the more likely they were to survive. However, nowadays, this is the first time in history that humans have been exposed to such a constant flow of information. While it’s important to stay informed, too much information can make us feel confused and anxious. As we all know, too many high-calorie foods can lead to obesity. ____16____ We’ re not just seeking relevant information to increase our chances of survival anymore. We fall into rabbit holes, scroll (滚屏) our feeds mindlessly, and watch video after video by clicking on the recommended links. ____17____ And we have lost control over the content we consume. Just as you try to eat healthily to improve your physical health, going on an information diet is a way to control what you consume to take care of your mental health. Here are some simple ways to start an information diet to break the information addiction. Prevent unwanted information. ____18____ Make sure to set up filters. Try some apps to unsubscribe from unwanted emails. Dress the table. Shape your environment to make sure you’re not overly tempted to have access to too much useless information. ____19____ For example, you can change your social media settings to reduce the number of notifications. Add more offline foods to your content menu. Increase your levels of “offline foods” — content you can consume away from a screen and that you can purchase or download in advance. ____20____ It’s incredibly effective to block time for reading stuff online. If you’re really struggling with information addiction, you can even put a timer on. This will force you to prioritize information that really matters. A. Focus on reading stuff online. B. We are addicted to information. C. Schedule your content consumption. D. Subscribing to many newsletters can quickly become a mess. E. You can also adopt some effective strategies to reduce distractions. F. Similarly, this new information overload encourages over consumption. G. Instead, it’s about designing your habits and shaping your environment. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. D 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了现代社会中信息过载问题，以及如何通过“信息节食”来管理自己的信息消费，从而维护心理健康。 【16题详解】 根据上文“In ancient times, the more information our ancestors had, the more likely they were to survive. However, nowadays, this is the first time in history that humans have been exposed to such a constant flow of information. While it’s important to stay informed, too much information can make us feel confused and anxious. As we all know, too many high-calorie foods can lead to obesity.(在古代，我们的祖先拥有的信息越多，他们存活下来的可能性就越大。然而，如今，这是人类历史上首次面临如此源源不断的信息洪流。虽然随时了解各种信息很重要，但过多的信息会让我们感到困惑和焦虑。众所周知，过多的高热量食物会导致肥胖。)”可知，上文提到在古代信息多利于生存，现在信息过量会让人困惑焦虑，还以高热量食物导致肥胖作类比。选项F“Similarly, this new information overload encourages over consumption.(同样地，这种新的信息过载会导致过度消费。)”中的“similarly”表明和前面高卡路里食物导致肥胖的类比关系，且提到信息过载导致过度消费，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文内容“We’ re not just seeking relevant information to increase our chances of survival anymore. We fall into rabbit holes, scroll (滚屏) our feeds mindlessly, and watch video after video by clicking on the recommended links.(我们不再仅仅是为了增加生存几率而去寻找相关信息。我们陷入信息的无底洞，无意识地滚动浏览信息推送，点击推荐链接，一个接一个地观看视频。)”可知，上文描述了人们陷入信息中，无意识地滚屏、看推荐视频等行为。选项B“We are addicted to information.(我们对信息上瘾了。)”很好地总结了前面的行为，说明人们对信息上瘾才会出现这些情况。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据段首句“Prevent unwanted information.(屏蔽不需要的信息)”可知，本段主题为屏蔽不需要的信息。选项D“Subscribing to many newsletters can quickly become a mess.(订阅许多时事通讯很快就会变得一团糟。)”指出订阅时事通讯是接收信息的一种方式，且提到会变得混乱，属于不需要的信息，符合该段主题。同时自然引出下文“Make sure to set up filters.(一定要设置好筛选器。)”。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Dress the table. Shape your environment to make sure you’re not overly tempted to have access to too much useless information.(整理环境。塑造你的环境，以确保你不会过度受到诱惑而接触到过多无用的信息。)”可知，本段主题是整理环境，即塑造环境避免接触过多无用信息。选项E“You can also adopt some effective strategies to reduce distractions.(你也可以采用一些有效的策略来减少干扰。)”中的“also”表明和前面塑造环境是并列关系，且减少干扰符合避免接触过多无用信息的意思。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据下文“It’s incredibly effective to block time for reading stuff online. If you’re really struggling with information addiction, you can even put a timer on. This will force you to prioritize information that really matters.(为在线阅读内容安排特定时间非常有效。如果你真的被信息成瘾所困扰，你甚至可以设置一个定时器。这将迫使你优先处理真正重要的信息。)”可知，该段主要讲的是安排在线阅读内容的时间。选项C“Schedule your content consumption.(安排你的内容消费时间)”符合本段主旨。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve always been terrified of heights.

But Dad just shook his head every time. “We need to save for your younger sister’s school trip to the science museum,” he’d said. Harry thought to himself, “It’s not fair. All my friends have one for their projects.” That evening, Dad found Harry sitting in the backyard, sad. He pulled up a chair and sat down, asking Harry, “Remember that red bike in the storage room? That thing used to be my pride and joy.” Harry nodded, thinking of the dusty thing covered by a strong cloth. “I wanted a new bike more than anything when I was your age,” Dad said. “Your grandpa found that red one at a junkyard — with a bent wheel. He said we couldn’t afford a new one. So I spent every weekend out here, fixing that old one — straightening the wheel, patching (修补) the tires, even repainting it red with leftover paint found in the storage room.” He laughed softly. “When I finally rode it, I felt prouder than if it had been brand-new. I earned it.” “Why are you telling me this? My tablet isn’t a bike,” Harry responded. “Because wanting things is easy,” Dad said. “But working for them? That’s when you start caring about how hard it is to get. That’s how you learn what they’re really worth. I know you want a tablet very much. But your sister’s trip — she’s been talking about it since the second grade. Maybe there’s a way to do both.” Harry’s throat suddenly felt tight. “What if ... what if I sold my old stuff? Toys, books — have a yard sale?” Dad’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good plan. But you have to do the work — pricing, setting up, and selling. Whatever you make, every cent goes towards your tablet.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Harry dragged boxes full of old toys and books to the yard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the last customer left, Harry counted the day’s earnings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, Harry dragged boxes full of old toys and books to the yard. He carefully arranged each item, hoping to attract potential buyers. As he set up the stall, neighbors and passers-by began to stop by, intrigued by the variety of goods on display. Harry enthusiastically explained the features of each toy and book, sharing stories behind some of his favorites. The sun shone brightly overhead, and with each sale, Harry’s excitement grew. Not only was he making progress towards his goal, but he was also learning valuable lessons about communication and negotiation. When the last customer left, Harry counted the day’s earnings. To his surprise and delight, the total took his breath away — it was more than enough for the tablet’s basic model! A wave of fierce pride washed over him, stronger than any excitement he’d felt just wanting the device. He realized Dad was right: the hours spent sorting, pricing, hauling, and selling had transformed the tablet from a mere object of desire into something deeply personal and valuable. Through effort and perseverance, he could not only achieve his dream but also develop a deeper appreciation for the value of hard work. This tablet wouldn’t just be new; it would be earned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Harry想让爸爸买新平板电脑用于艺术课，爸爸因要为妹妹攒钱去科学博物馆而拒绝。爸爸以自己修复旧自行车为例，启发Harry通过努力获得想要的东西。Harry受鼓舞，决定卖旧物筹钱。他摆摊售卖，最后发现收入足够买基础款平板，意识到努力让物品变得更有价值。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，Harry把装满旧玩具和书籍的箱子拖到了院子里。”可知，第一段可描写Harry为了筹集买平板电脑的钱，在院子里摆摊售卖自己的旧物，并且热情地向过往的邻居和路人介绍商品，随着商品一件件售出，他不仅离目标越来越近，还学到了沟通和谈判的宝贵经验。 ②由第二段首句内容“当最后一位顾客离开时，Harry清点了当天的收入。”可知，第二段可描写Harry惊喜地发现收入足够购买平板电脑的基础款，他意识到通过努力和坚持，他不仅实现了梦想，还更加深刻地理解了努力工作的价值，这个平板电脑将不仅仅是一个新物品，更是他努力和坚持的见证。 2. 续写线索：摆摊售卖——热情介绍——商品售出——学到经验——清点收入——足够购买——意识到价值——努力见证 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①摆摊售卖：set up the stall/arrange the yard sale ②热情介绍：enthusiastically explain/passionately introduce ③实现梦想：achieve one’s dream/make one’s dream come true 情绪类 ①惊喜：to his surprise and delight/with pleasant surprise ②骄傲：a wave of fierce pride washed over him/he feltl a strong sense of pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】As he set up the stall, neighbors and passersby began to stop by, intrigued by the variety of goods on display.

B Last summer, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris, carrying her beloved erhu - a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument that was passed down from her grandmother. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation. During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration. As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous melodies (旋律). What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict, they compose something entirely new. 4. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris? A. To share Chinese music culture. B. To give it to her friend as a present. C. To display it at a local studio. D. To teach students full-time. 5. What contributed to the lasting cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre? A. Their common and deep love for traditional Chinese music. B. Their successful performance and inspiration from each other’s music. C. The opportunity to participate in the Bastille Day celebration together. D. The desire to teach music in a virtual way to students around the world. 6. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience? A. It reflected the beauty of nature wonderfully. B. It featured traditional Chinese folk performance. C. It was a musical handshake between civilizations. D. It was an excellent musical instrument exhibition. 7. What does the story mainly convey? A. Music is the source of lasting friendship. B. Mastering an instrument requires practice. C. Traditional music resists modern influences. D. Cooperation across cultures generates innovation. C It’s probably not surprising that a new study has linked added sugar consumption to an increased risk of heart disease, but a less expected discovery is that those who have an occasional sweet treat appear to be at a reduced risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) problems. Eating a cake, or chocolate bar every so often may be better for your heart than a “zero-sugar” diet, according to the research team from Lund University in Sweden. However, this relationship doesn’t hold for other types of sugar consumption, like fizzy drinks and sugary toppings. The researchers looked at records of 69,705 people in Swedish public health databases. The participants, aged between 45 and 83, were quizzed on their diet and lifestyle in 1997 and 2009, then tracked up to 2019. “The most striking finding is the varying relationship between different sources of added sugar and cardiovascular disease risk,” says epidemiologist Suzanne Janzi. “This surprising contrast highlights the importance of considering not just the amount of sugar consumed, but its source and context.” According to the study, sugar intake was grouped into three categories: sugary toppings, sweet treats, and sweetened beverages (饮料) . Type of added sugar consumed was then cross-referenced against seven types of cardiovascular diseases, with several other risk factors like smoking taken into account. Research findings also indicated the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to sweet treats every now and again. There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the different ways we get our sugar. “Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically make you feel less full than solid forms, potentially leading to overconsumption,” says Janzi. “Context also matters — treats are often enjoyed in social settings or special occasions.” Bear in mind that these findings suggest relationships, rather than proving cause and effect. They also don’t factor in other health consequences — like damage to teeth. The researchers suggest future studies could look in more detail at associations between sugar, heart disease, and obesity, for example. “While our observational study cannot establish causation, it suggests that extremely low sugar intake may not be necessary or beneficial for cardiovascular health,” says Janzi. 8. What does the underlined phrase “hold for” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Differ from. B. Lead to. C. Apply to. D. Originate from. 9. Which type of added sugar contributes least to cardiovascular diseases? A. Sugary toppings. B. Sweet treats. C. Solid sugars. D. Sweetened beverages. 10. What may Janzi agree with according to the last two paragraphs? A. The context of sugar consumption counts. B. Tooth damage mainly arises from sugar intake. C. Extremely low sugar intake is always necessary. D. Liquid sugars usually creates a feeling of fullness. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Sugar Intake: Be to Blame for Obesity B. Cardiovascular Health: Cause and Effect C. Hidden Killers: Sugary Drinks and Toppings D. Occasional Sweet Treats: Better for Your Heart D For future humans to survive long periods on Mars, growing food on the planet is a must. It would be too costly and risky to rely upon rocket deliveries to meet the food needs of colonists. With this in mind, scientists are exploring ways to improve space farming. At Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands, researchers work in a controlled greenhouse. They have identified a way that could improve crop production in factitious Martian soil, with different crops grown together. The method is called “intercropping”, first invented by ancient Maya farmers in what is now Central America. In their experiments, the researchers grew cherry tomatoes, peas and carrots together in small, round containers. Tomatoes grown in this way produced about double the amount of tomatoes grown alone in the same Martian soil. The tomatoes were also bigger. They flowered and matured earlier, gave more fruit per plant and had thicker stems (茎). The quantity of peas and carrots did not increase with intercropping. The crops were grown in Martian regolith a soil with no organic matter. Created by researchers from the American space agency NASA, it is a near-perfect physical and chemical match to real Martian soil. For now, human bases on Mars are only seen in movies. But NASA, for example, is developing ways to send people to Mars in the 2030s. Intercropping involves growing plants with properties that could help each other grow. The method makes the best use of resources including water and nutrients. The researchers said the tomato plants in intercropping may have benefited from being close to the pea plants. That is because the peas are good at turning nitrogen (氮) from the air, with the help of bacteria introduced into the soil, into an important nutrient. The carrots produced fewer crops from intercropping and the peas had no change. This was probably due to lack of light. Overall, the tomatoes, peas and carrots grew well, though not as well as in Earth soil in the same greenhouse. 12. What does the underlined word “factitious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Man-made. B. Long-standing. C. Well-known. D. Hard-won. 13. Why may tomatoes grow well among the three plants? A Because of the role of peas plants in intercropping. B. Because of the soil rich in organic components. C. Because of their adaptation to the environment. D. Because of their little need for sunlight. 14.

He’d been begging Dad for a new tablet for weeks — one with a fast camera to take photos for his art class. But Dad just shook his head every time. “We need to save for your younger sister’s school trip to the science museum,” he’d said. Harry thought to himself, “It’s not fair. All my friends have one for their projects.” That evening, Dad found Harry sitting in the backyard, sad. He pulled up a chair and sat down, asking Harry, “Remember that red bike in the storage room? That thing used to be my pride and joy.” Harry nodded, thinking of the dusty thing covered by a strong cloth. “I wanted a new bike more than anything when I was your age,” Dad said. “Your grandpa found that red one at a junkyard — with a bent wheel. He said we couldn’t afford a new one. So I spent every weekend out here, fixing that old one — straightening the wheel, patching (修补) the tires, even repainting it red with leftover paint found in the storage room.” He laughed softly. “When I finally rode it, I felt prouder than if it had been brand-new. I earned it.” “Why are you telling me this? My tablet isn’t a bike,” Harry responded. “Because wanting things is easy,” Dad said. “But working for them? That’s when you start caring about how hard it is to get. That’s how you learn what they’re really worth. I know you want a tablet very much. But your sister’s trip — she’s been talking about it since the second grade. Maybe there’s a way to do both.” Harry’s throat suddenly felt tight. “What if ... what if I sold my old stuff? Toys, books — have a yard sale?” Dad’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good plan. But you have to do the work — pricing, setting up, and selling. Whatever you make, every cent goes towards your tablet.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Harry dragged boxes full of old toys and books to the yard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the last customer left, Harry counted the day’s earnings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
