The research lasted 1 over eight years and it studied the eating habits and health of nearly 20,000 people. Researchers found that chocolate is not as bad as we used to think, and dark chocolate is the healthiest choice because it 2 the greatest effects. The study also showed that people 3 ate the most chocolate had a lower risk of heart problems. Flavanols (黄烷醇) in chocolate can help reduce blood pressure, and they can be discovered in cocoa beans. However, experts advise people 4 too much chocolate at once, as this will lead to weight gain.

It mainly 6 poems, diaries and quick thoughts. It doesn’t follow a normal story but instead feels like walking through a city. Benjamin writes about everyday life, dreams, and how we see the world around us. Reading this book felt like 7 a new city without a map. At first, I was confused because there wasn’t a clear storyline. However, I soon started to enjoy its many surprises. One part that stood out for me was when Benjamin compared reading to traveling along a road, and copying a text to walking that road on foot. He said that by copying, we understand the text more 8 . This made me think about how I study. Sometimes, just reading 9 enough—I need to break things down to get it. Benjamin’s writing made me realize that everyday moments can have deeper reasons. Even something as 10 as walking to school can tell us about life. His book encouraged me to pay more attention to the small things and learn from them. 6．A．include B．includes C．included D．including 7．A．explore B．to explore C．exploring D．exploration 8．A．deep B．depth C．deeper D．deeply 9．A．not B．isn’t C．doesn’t D．didn’t 10．A．simple B．simply C．simpler D．simplest C Nana looked out of the window.

He knocked at the door and came into her room with the smell of cold. “Get up, sleep head,” he said with a smile. “Can you guess 14 ?” He winked (眨眼). Nana jumped out of her bed and rushed to the window for a look. Then she ran to the kitchen and sat down at the table. While eating, she talked with her father 15 about the snowman they would build.

There are three very 16 paintings, and most people cannot tell which one is the artist's original （原作）. To art experts, there has been broad agreement that the paintings held by Russia's Hermitage Museum and France's Wildenstein Collection were created by the artist, 17 the one at Britain's Badminton House is only a copy. But artificial intelligence (AI) disagreed. In September 2025, Swiss AI company Art Recognition said there's an almost 86 percent chance that Badminton House's painting is real, while Wildenstein's one is 18 a copy. This event shows AI's new role in deciding whether an artwork is real. In the past, human experts identified real artworks from copies using their 19 knowledge of artists and modern technologies such as infrared imaging （红外成像）. Today, AI might serve as another helpful tool for experts. The technology can study small details from images of artworks. It then 20 these features with real works by the same artist to find differences that experts and other scientific methods might miss. However, many experts don't fully trust AI to identify real art. They pointed out that AI can give results without explaining 21 it reached them. Also, the technology is only as good as the data it's trained on, meaning both the number and quality of painting images can affect its accuracy （准确性）. The Art Newspaper reported that proper AI training can require thousands of images, but few artists have produced that many works. Artists may also change their styles 22 , so AI that only looks for fixed patterns can easily make mistakes. As art is subjective, neither AI nor humans can be completely certain about their judgments. Currently, AI 23 only the likelihood of a painting being created by a particular artist, so it 24 be the only method used for authentication. Instead, it should be used together with human knowledge and scientific testing to reach the most reliable results. "I strongly believe that the future of art authentication 25 in the collaboration （协作） between AI and experts," Art Recognition's CEO Carina Popovici told ART news. 16．A．common B．different C．unique D．similar 17．A．and B．so C．while D．but 18．A．finally B．likely C．simply D．hardly 19．A．little B．deep C．strong D．powerful 20．A．matches B．compares C．changes D．improves 21．A．that B．what C．how D．whether 22．A．gradually B．suddenly C．instead D．immediately 23．A．invents B．creates C．imagines D．provides 24．A．can’t B．shouldn’t C．may not D．mustn’t 25．A．lies B．depends C．makes D．happens 三、阅读理解(本大题共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） A On the morning of March 6, Nantong held a meeting. The city wanted to look back at its transport development and make new plans for the future. It has finished the “14th Five-Year Plan” (2021-2025) and will start the “15th Five-Year Plan” (2026-2030). Achievements in 2025 and the past five years In 2025, Nantong grew fast in many ways. Big bridge and tunnel projects across the Yangtze River went well. Workers finished the main tower of the Zhangjinggao Bridge. The Haitai Tunnel was about one-third done, and the Chongqi Bridge was completed. High-speed railways were built faster. A new railway station in Qidong was opened to the public. Water transport got much better. Transport by train and ship went up by 10%, and river transport rose by nearly 25%. Nantong Port worked closely with Shanghai’s Yangshan Port. In the past five years, Nantong has spent 121 billion yuan on transport, 1.6 times more than before. Now Nantong has become an important national transport center. The hope for the 15th Five-Year Plan By 2030, Nantong plans to build a modern transport system. It will spend 160 billion yuan. There will be 6 ways to cross the Yangtze River (bridges or tunnels). More than 210 km of high-speed railways and 630 km of highways will be built. Over 220 km of waterways will be made better for big ships. The airport will serve 8 million passengers every year. And 75% of trips inside the city will be green, such as taking buses, riding bikes or walking. What to expect in 2026 In 2026, Nantong will start 49 projects and spend 22.4 billion yuan. It will begin the Second Sutong Bridge and finish the Chongqi Railway Bridge. The two are both important cross-river projects this year. Nantong will try to make a railway longer to Rudong. New parts of the canal (运河) will be finished, and new port areas will be built. Bus services will be made better. The city will try drone delivery (无人机配送), and small community roads will be repaired. In short, Nantong is becoming an important traffic center to connect with the world better. 26．Which of the following is a success in 2025? A．The Haitai Tunnel was fully dug. B．River transport went down by 25%. C．The Zhangjinggao Bridge was completed. D．The new train station in Qidong opened. 27．What can we learn from the passage? A．All the cross-river projects will be finished in 2026. B．Nantong has achieved a lot in transport these years. C．Nantong will spend 22.4 billion yuan on transport in the next five years. D．75% of the trips inside the city will be taken by car in Nantong by 2030. 28．Where might this passage come from? A．A travel guide. B．A fashion magazine. C．A science magazine. D．A local newspaper. B lmost everyone has experienced the feeling of discomfort when their actions do not agree with their inner values. A man, for example, values work-life balance yet works 80 hours every week, caring little about his own health and family. Another example is a boy who holds his parents’ love dear but gets angry at them in a moment of stress; or a woman who hopes to live healthily but gives in to the attraction of fast food during moments of weakness. This disagreement can lead to serious results, such as worsening relationships, limited personal growth, and self-doubt. The emotional effects of feeling out of control and unable to live up to our own standards can also be deeply harmful. The shame and upset that go along with these feelings often force us into silence, resulting in more self-doubt. One reason for this silence might be that admitting (承认) to these behaviors can feel like showing a weakness or mistake that society tells us should be kept hidden. What’s more, recognizing this disagreement requires coming face to face with uncomfortable truths about ourselves—a process that is as discouraging as it is necessary for growth. Recognizing and addressing these behaviors can provide a possibility of change. By looking into the causes of our behaviors, we can begin to understand our actions more easily and work toward sticking to our beliefs. Research supports the idea that recognizing this disagreement, together with mindfulness and open communication, can help with this process. These methods help us slow down, reflect (反思), and choose behaviors that follow our values more closely, even in the face of old habits or immediate needs. The key to dealing with this disagreement lies in compassion (同情) for ourselves and others. By developing a culture of openness and by understanding the challenges of aligning behaviors with beliefs, we can begin to break down what prevents us from having conversation and change. Admitting that this disagreement is a shared part of the human experience can enable us to speak openly, find support, and take necessary steps toward the agreement between our inner world and our actions. While the disagreement between our inner values and actions may be common, through reflection, understanding and purposeful practice, we can bridge the divide and set out on a journey of self-discovery. 29．Why does the writer use the examples in Paragraph 1? A．To stress an unavoidable need. B．To show a result of the wrong values. C．To describe a common human experience. D．To introduce a change in people’s relationships. 30．What does the word “aligning” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．Matching. B．Comparing. C．Mixing. D．Confusing. 31．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．Discomfort forces us to give up our beliefs. B．Our behaviors weaken our understandings of life. C．Open communication makes it possible for us to change. D．Keeping silent allows us time to live up to our standards. 32．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To encourage people to stay true to their beliefs. B．To prove the importance of having the right values. C．To compare different ways to deal with discomfort. D．To discuss the influence of people’s improper actions. C Aladdin made a wish to the magic lamp, “Please build a beautiful palace next to the king’s palace.” The next morning, the king found a new palace and a golden walkway between his palace and the new palace. The king met Aladdin at the door when he went to see the new building. Aladdin said, “My Lord, this is my present to the princess. In this way, you can still see each other even after she is married.” The king was touched by Aladdin and agreed to let Aladdin marry his daughter. The wedding of Aladdin and the princess was big and celebrated by the whole city. The magician (魔法师) heard this and decided to bring the lamp back. He made several beautiful lamps and then went to Aladdin and the princess’s palace. He talked to their servants, “Do you have any old lamps? You can exchange them for my new lamps because I’m interested in royal (皇家的) things.” The servants rushed to tell the princess the strange news. The princess agreed and asked them to take Aladdin’s lamp to the magician because she believed it was just a common old lamp. After getting the lamp, the magician quickly made a wish, “Take me home with Aladdin’s palace and the princess.” When Aladdin got home at night he found the palace and the princess were gone. “Maybe the wicked (恶的) magician was back,” he thought. Aladdin felt very sad. Suddenly, he remembered the magic ring. 　　Aladdin asked the ring to bring his wife and palace back. 　　“I’m afraid I can’t. It depends upon the magic lamp.” replied the ring. 　　“But at least you can take me to my wife wherever she is.” 　　Then Aladdin was placed upon an area facing the princess’s flat. The princess told Aladdin what happened that night through the window of the flat. 　　“Where did he put the lamp?” Aladdin asked. 　　The princess replied, “He takes it with him all the time.” 　　Aladdin was glad when hearing that. Then he passed the princess a small bottle and told her his plan. 　　That evening, the princess invited the magician to have a great meal. The magician became relaxed when seeing the delicious food and wine (葡萄酒). The princess then filled his cup with wine, again and again, so he soon got drunk. At this time, she secretly put something that Aladdin gave her into the magician’s cup. He drank and soon fell asleep. After that, Aladdin came in. He found the lamp and made a wish. Finally, Aladdin and the princess got home safely. The magician was put in prison. 　　From then on, they lived a happy life and they did many good things for people with the help of the magic lamp. ——Taken from Aladdin and the Magic Lamp 33．Which is wrong about the new palace?

A．Rich. B．Clever. C．Curious. D．Impatient 35．Which is the correct order of what happened according to the story? a. The magician drank cups of wine. b. Aladdin had an idea of how to save the princess. c. The palace and the princess were gone. d. Aladdin and the princess returned home. A．c-b-a-d B．a-c-b-d C．a-b-c-d D．c-a-b-d 36．What can we infer from the story? A．Aladdin made three wishes to the lamp in all. B．The magic ring was less powerful than the magic lamp. C．The princess didn’t think the magician a nice person at first. D．The king gave Aladdin something that could make the magician fall asleep in the small bottle. D One afternoon, a talking bird named Harpo arrived at a rescue center in MinnesotE Harpo, a very vocal Moluccan cockatoo, began to talk with the sanctuary’s director, Galiene Cimperman. After some time, Harpo suddenly said, “I hate this bird.” Harpo likely heard that phrase before, but what did he mean by it? According to Cimperman, Herpo was repeating the words, not using them as language. However, she believes the phrase reflected his past traumas (创伤) and that saying it was part of his healing process. Many parrots like Harpo live in rescue centers across the US. Although there is research on parrot memory and problem-solving, their emotions are mostly unexplored. This makes understanding the relationship between parrots and people challenging. Parrots’ intelligence, social nature, and physical needs often make it difficult for them to thrive in captivity. Yet, more than 50 million parrots live in homes and zoos worldwide. Many end up in rescue centers, where volunteers like Cimperman must learn about their past to help them find comfort. There is even less research on whether parrots can experience psychological trauma. However, they have the cognitive abilities necessary to experience long-term trauma. One of the few scientific papers on parrot trauma came from a collaboration between the rescue center and psychologist Gay Bradshaw. The paper describes how parrots at the sanctuary often meet the criteria for PTSD (创伤后应激障碍)。 Parrots in captivity often face distressing experiences from birth. They may be raised in isolation and receive little attention. Parrots are social animals, but as pets, they often have limited contact with humans or other birds. Even kind-hearted owners may struggle to care for them properly. Some parrots face abuse and cannot escape stressful situations At rescue centers, it is essential for parrots to feel in control of their lives. Volunteers help them build trust and allow them to make choices, similar to how they would in the wild. Healing from trauma may take months or even years. By the end of Harpo’s life in 2021, he had become a friendly and joyful bird, no longer saying “I hate this bird.” The possibility that parrots experience emotions similar to humans highlights the need to protect them in captivity and the wild. 37．What can be inferred about the life of parrots in captivity based on Harpo’s experience? A．They can learn to communicate effectively with humans B．They often experience significant emotional trauma. C．They do not have the ability to remember past experiences. D．They can easily adapt to their new environment. 38．What is a big challenge in understanding the relationship between parrots and people? A．The lack of research on parrots’ emotions. B．The lack of interest in studying parrots. C．Parrots’ inability to communicate with humans D．Parrots’ tendency to repeat un comprehended phrases without understanding them. 39．What is one of the strategies rescue centers use to help parrots heal from trauma? A．They provide them with a new owner. B．They give them control over their lives. C．They teach them new phrases to practice. D．They allow them to interact with other animals. 40．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．The challenges of keeping parrots in captivity B．A closer look at parrot rescue centers in the US C．The life and times of Harpo: A case study on a talking bird D．Parrots are intelligent, but do we understand their emotions? 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（15分） A.根据括号中所给的汉语或音标写出单词的正确形式，使句子意思完整正确。 When sports players choose uniforms, they often choose their favourite colors.

The JFK President Library in Boston, US (1979), the Louvre Pyramid in Paris (1989), the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong (1990) and the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar (2008) are just a few of his many creations. The man behind these landmark buildings passed away on May 16, 2025 at the age of 102. Pei once said that a typical (典型的) style of design is of no help to an architect. Instead, he was known for his special style, bringing together seemingly opposite ideas into each design—East and West, ancient and modern, natural and manmade. This may come from his education. Born and raised in China, he went to the US to study architecture (建筑) at 18. He studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then completed his Master of Arts study at Harvard. “My family’s been there for 600 years,” Pei tried to add local and historical ideas to his designs. When designing the Suzhou Museum in the 2000s, he took new ideas from the city’s beautiful classical gardens. Instead of building a giant to overshadow (使……失色) them, Pei built small halls with traditional white walls and dark roofs, in the style of other gardens. Besides matching his design to the local setting, Pei also thought that light played an important role in creating a lively mood. He cared a lot about sunshine in his designs. The glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris is a good example. It doesn’t hide the buildings around it. Instead, it reflects (映照) them in the sunlight. It also serves as a huge window, letting sunlight into the museum. His wonderful works earned him many awards, like the Pritzker Architecture Prize (1983), AIA Gold Medal (1979), Royal Gold Medal (2010), Presidential Medal of Freedom (1993) and Praemium Imperiale (1989). What Pei valued most in architecture was that the buildings could “stand the test of time”. As The New York Times sums up, he didn’t just want to solve problems but also to produce “an architecture of ideas”. Ieoh Ming Pei—The Last Master of Modern Architecture Basic information Pei (1923-2025) was one of the world’s most famous architects. He 56 his life to designing classic landmark buildings worldwide. Education Born and raised in China, he went to the US to study architecture at 18. His educational background helped 57 his design style. Design style & examples He thought a typical style of design was not 58 to an architect. Different ideas all 59 together in his designs. When designing Suzhou Museum, he tried to make his design 60 well with local settings. He valued light in designs and his Louvre pyramid shows this well. 61 His famous works 62 the JFK President Library, the Louvre Pyramid, the Bank of China Tower and Suzhou Museum. He was 63 with many awards such as the Pritzker Architecture Prize and Presidential Medal of Freedom. Your ideas What can you learn from him?

The English-language The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭) by Tang Xianzu was performed (表演) in China for the first time. At the same time, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Dream of Nanke were also performed. These plays created a d 65 across time and space and showed the shared human feelings of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare (莎士比亚). Tang Xianzu from China and William Shakespeare from England were great writers d 66 the mid-16th century. Though they never met, their works share many similarities. Their works were about t 67 like love, life and human spirits, and often used “dreams” in plays to express feelings that still touch people today. This idea was shown c 69 at a gala held by CCTV in Fuzhou. In the drama Tang & Shakespeare, The Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet appeared on the same stage. The performance showed Eastern “pure love” and Western “devoted love”, p 70 that writers from different cultures can express similar feelings about love and life. The English-language The Peony Pavilion was s 71 in bringing Eastern and Western cultures together. However, it also faced a challenge: how to make the special singing and music of Kunqu opera easy to understand for English people? To solve this problem, the actors used rhythms (韵律) often found in Shakespeare’s plays and mixed Western and Chinese styles in m 72 , dance and music. With actors from different countries, the performance became a real cultural exchange, not just a translation. Another exciting part of the event was the “Tang-Shakespeare Legacy: Youth Dialogue”, which brought together young actors from China and the UK. These young artists not only keep traditions a 73 , but also bring new ideas to classic works. Their work proves that cultural differences are bridges, not barriers (障碍). As we witness the exchange, we are r 74 that the influence of Tang and Shakespeare is not limited to their time but lives on in every play, every shared story, and every heart it touches. 六、书面表达(满分15分) 75．习近平总书记强调：”科技兴则民族兴，科技强则国家强。”假如你是李华，将参加学校“Technology Makes Life Better and Brighter”主题英语演讲比赛。请写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： 1.
