While some short-term studies,frequently funded by chocolate companies,suggested potential advantages,their results have been inconsistent.More importantly,they are too brief to reveal the long-term effects of regular consumption.Observational studies,which simply note correlations ()found that people who eat more dark chocolate tend to be healthier.But this could be because they often have higher incomes and better overall lifestyles,not because of the chocolate itself. To settle the debate,a big randomized experiment was conducted.It involved older adults who took daily cocoa-flavanol supplements for several years.The findings were clear:the flavanols made no significant difference to the risk of developing heart disease,diabetes,or cancer.There was one positive note-a reduction in cardiovascular (deaths-but this single outcome is not solid proof of benefit. Crucially,obtaining a high share of flavanols from commercial dark chocolate introduces serious disadvantages.To counter cocoa's bitterness,manufacturers add large amounts of sugar.It means a person would also consume a substantial portion of the daily recommended limit of fat,which is known to raise cholesterol (and harm heart health.A far healthier way to get flavanols is from foods like apples, nuts,strawberries,or green tea. Ultimately,the celebrated health benefits of dark chocolate appear to be rooted more in marketing and wishful thinking than in robust science.While enjoying it as an occasional treat is fine,relying on it as a health food is misguided.True wellness comes from a balanced diet rich in various fruits,vegetables,and beans-not from a single,sugary treat. 24.What is a common belief about dark chocolate? A.It has inconsistent benefits. B.Its benefits come at a high cost. C.It contributes to physical health D.Its advantages rely on long-term intake. 25.What is a result of taking in flavanols from dark chocolate? A.Faster fat burning. B.Resistance to cholesterol. C.Reduction of cancer risks. D.Increase in sugar consumption. 26.What does the underlined word "robust"in the last paragraph mean? A.Basic. B.Solid. C.Advanced. D.Emerging. 27.Which is the best title for the text? A.The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate B.A Guide to Choosing Healthy Chocolate C.The Impact of Flavanols on Your Health D.Marketing vs.Science in the Food Industry c If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone,would you help?How about lending them five dollars for the bus,if they said they'd return and pay you back? Nowadays,many people find it hard to trust strangers.A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic-it could be rooted in our DNA.This is important,as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical(怀疑的)people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others.One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences.The other thinks it's influenced by a person's ongoing evaluation of the social environment.We can easily imagine that the answer to the question "Would you say that most people can be trusted?"would depend on whether you'd been robbed the day before or if you'd had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in.A professor of Lund University,Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust.In their most recent study,involving 33,882 Danish blood donors,they found a single gene ()PLPP4,strongly associated with the personality of trusting others,and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6%of the difference in social trust within the study population.If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences,this gene alone could account for 6%of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our "fight-or-flight"survival response.If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people,it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits.Indeed,if trusting others acts as something against stress,it may lower the risk of cardiovascular(心血管的)disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust,one thing is clear:understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 28.What might affect people's trust levels according to the two main theories? A.Childhood habits. B.Personal abilities. C.Social experiences. D.Communication skills. 29.What does the recent study focus on? A.The mental cause of trust. B.The ways to develop survival ability. C.The characteristics of different genes. D.The connection between trust and a gene. 30.What does the passage say about trusting others? A.It could bring health benefits B.It reduces the strong stress in work C.It helps to develop the world faster. D.It causes quicker survival response. 31.What can be inferred from the passage? A.The ability to trust others relates to a single gene. B.How trusting you are frees people from disease. C.Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities. D.The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response. D Healthcare organizations face big problems:costs are rising,but income is growing slowly.Cloud technology offers a solution by replacing outdated systems,improving efficiency,and enhancing care.Key benefits include helping doctors make better decisions by giving them faster access to patient information, lowering costs by making operations run smoother-which is crucial when government payments are low -and providing stronger security to protect patient data.As Dr.Michelle Flemmings from Oracle notes, older computer systems often made work harder with repetitive tasks,while the cloud makes accessing data easier and reduces doctors'workload. Adding AI makes the cloud even more powerful.AI'acts like a smart helper for doctors.Flemmings compares it to having a top.medical expert by your side.AI helps assess patient risks,suggests best practices, and finds vital information in health records instantly.This teamwork speeds up tasks,like finding patients who qualify for clinical trials during regular visits-opportunities often missed before.Also,AI-powered 41.A.slow B.lazy C.shy D.clever 42.A.goals B.tasks C.trouble D.soul 43.A.removed B.shifted C.ruined D.disappeared 44.A.audience B.guide C.competitor D.advocate 45.A.advising B.forcing C.warning D.begging 46.A.won B.ran C.wandered D.survived 47.A.sink B.break C.beat D.ache 48.A.cold B.wind C.danger D.sweat 49.A.adjusting B.repairing C.borrowing D.purchasing 50.A.accidentally B.violently C.suddenly D.occasionally 51.A.quicker B.sharper C.steadier D.weaker 52.A.1ot B.forgot C.read D.wrote 53.A.shock B.anxiety C.annoyance D.confusion 54.A.sign B.charge C.escape D..absence 55.A.hanging B.moving C.shaking D.waving 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词)或所给单词的正确形式。 In Chinese culture,colors speak louder than words.For over 3,000 years,people 56(use)colors to express philosophical ideas and social values.The system originates from the Five Elements theory,which connects colors with 57(nature)forces.Red,for instance,is seen 58 the color of luck since ancient times because it represents fire-the element that brings59(warm)and protection. During the Tang Dynasty,strict rules governed color use.Only emperors could wear bright yellow, 60 was believed to symbolize earth's central position.Ordinary people were not allowed to use this color until 1912 when the last dynasty 61 (fall).Today,this tradition continues in understated ways.When you visit the Forbidden City,you'll notice its golden roofs still shine under the sun,62(remind)visitors of China's imperial past. Modern technology gives traditional colors new life.Designers of the 2022 Winter Olympics uniforms 63 (careful)studied ancient paintings to create their"Azure Blue"theme.Smartphone companies also play with cultural meanings-Huawei's"Ink Jade"phone color 64 (inspire)by the black ink stones used by scholars.Interestingly,young people today are more actively learning about color traditions 65 often have them combined with Western styles.As an artist puts it,"Colors are like time travelers that connect different eras through beauty." 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66.假定你是李华，你将在学校“社团文化节”上作为学生代表发言，分享你参加社团的经历和收获。 请你写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： (1)你参加的社团； (2)你的经历和收获； (3)鼓励同学们加入社团。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Good moming,everyone! 第二节（满分25分） 7.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应 为150左右。 Last spring,I became the proud owner of a beautiful backyard garden.I planted various flowers,hoping to attract bees and butterflies.To my surprise,I also welcomed some hummingbirds().They were lovely, with their shiny feathers and fast-moving wings.I was so fascinated that I often sat quietly watching them. One day,I noticed a small hummingbird flying strangely.It seemed weak and flew unsteadily.I followed it and found it fall to the ground.I went over carefully and saw it was hurt.Its left wing was bleeding,and it could not fly.It looked up at me with its bright eyes,as if begging for help. I gently picked it up.It was so small and light that it fit in my hand.I took it inside my house and placed it in a soft box.I cleaned its wound gently and covered it with a bandage.Then I prepared some sugar water, hoping it could regain strength. For days,I took good care of it.I fed it on time and kept it warm.Gradually,it got better.It started to move around and make soft sounds.But I knew hummingbirds belonged to nature.I couldn't keep it forever. I decided to set it free when it was fully recovered. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答 The day finally came when the hummingbird was ready to go back to nature. Seeing the hummingbird fly away,I felt a mixture of sadness and happiness.
