B It was a rainy Tuesday afternoon in late autumn when Orson,a twenty-two-year-old architecture student in Paris,stood alone on the Pont des Arts,watching the grey Seine flow slowly beneath him.He had come to the bridge not to enjoy the view,but to escape the deadline for a project he knew he could not finish on time.Although he had traveled thousands of miles from his hometown to study abroad,he had never felt more lonely than at that moment. Just as he was about to leave,an elderly woman with silver hair and a worn canvas ( bag walked slowly towards him.Without a word,she took a croissant,a kind of food,from her bag and offered it to him,smiling kindly.Orson was surprised by what she did,thinking she might have seen his loneliness. She told Orson her name was Elara,a retired librarian who had lived in Paris for over forty years,though she had grown up in the hills of southern Italy,where she used to pick olives )and read poetry to her younger brothers and sisters.She told him about leaving her village during the war with only a suitcase and a book of poems,while he admitted his fear of disappointing his parents,who had spent all their savings on his education.When one spoke, the other listened carefully,without hurry or judgment.To their surprise,they found they shared the same gentle view of human loneliness and believed that silence between spoken words is the truest way strangers can understand one another. When the rain stopped and sunlight broke through the clouds,Orson realized that this chance meeting had changed his idea of belonging.Before they parted,Elara gave him her phone number and a piece of advice he would never forget:Inner struggle,like the river below, flows on forever,but bridges are not built to stop it;they are built so that we can cross it together. 英语试题第2页（共8页） 4.Why did Orson go to the bridge that afternoon?

Candy producers keep rolling out new versions of their classic sweets,but the release of the candies with less chocolate carries striking implications:They've all hit the market within the past two years,as the world supply of cocoa beans,the core raw material for making chocolate, has fallen,causing prices to skyrocket.Making cheap chocolate treats is no longer a cheap task-unless they contain less chocolate. Young consumers have been the most candy-hungry group in recent years.This group seeks out taste combinations,unexpected mouthfeel,and flavor "experiences",said Carly Schildhaus,the communications director of the National Confectioners Association.Actually, even before the cocoa crisis,plenty of mass-market chocolate candies contained add-ins.Mixing in more,or different ones,gives the impression of inventiveness,not cost-cutting.So new ideas are core to the candy business. But candy-industry insiders know that the pressures on companies are twofold.Less chocolaty candies are "certainly a response to cocoa prices,"Nicko Debenham,a cocoa- industry expert,said.Since 2023,West Africa,where most of the world's cocoa is grown,has had consecutive (below-average harvests,owing to bad weather,crop disease,and illegal gold mining on farmland.A global shortage followed,and the price of cocoa changed wildly,reaching a record high of more than$12,000 a ton last December (in recent history, prices had stayed below $4,000 a ton). Cocoa prices have become so unstable that banking on chocolate-based products is now a huge risk for candy makers.Companies are being forced to acknowledge that the cocoa crisis is 英语试题第3页（共8页） along-term threat,said Ignacio Canals Polo,a chocolate-industry analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence. "Three weeks of bad weather can completely change the dynamics of the market. If you're a chocolate producer,you have to adjust your range of produets,"he added. 8.Why do candy companies launch candies with less chocolate? A.To satisfy new taste demands. B.To expand overseas markets. C.To reduce sugar in candies.eM随日由客， D.To cut production costs. 9.What can be inferred about the candy business from paragraph 3? A.Extra additions lower production costs. B.Young consumers influence flavor creation. C.Traditional sweets reject added ingredients. D.The young prefer treats containing less sugar. 10.What does the underlined word "twofold"refer to? A.Weather changes and illegal mining. B.Innovation demand and cocoa costs. C.Short-term risks and product ranges. D.Lower harvests and stable gold prices. 11.What is Polo's attitude towards producing chocolate-based products now? A.Disapproving. B.Optimistic. C.Uncaring. D.Enthusiastic. D be A long-running study in New Zealand followed more than 1,000 people born in the early 1970s.When participants reached age 45,researchers measured their walking speed,physical health,brain structure and cognitive(认知的)abilities. The results were striking.People who walked more slowly tended to show signs of faster biological aging.They were also more likely to have weaker hand strength,poorer balance and worse coordination ()Brain scans revealed that slower walkers tended to have smaller brain volumes and other features associated with poorer brain health.But one finding attracted particular attention.Among the 45-year-olds,those with slower walking speeds tended to score lower on IQ tests.The researchers found an average difference of about 16 IQ points between the slowest and fastest groups of walkers.Slower walkers also performed worse across several areas of cognitive ability,including processing speed,working memory,perceptual reasoning and verbal comprehension. Walking requires much more than strong legs.To move efficiently,the brain has to coordinate the nervous system,muscles,vision,balance,and the heart and blood system. Walking also requires the brain to constantly process information about the environment and control movement.As a result,gait（步态)speed may act as a kind of“whole-body indicator”. The study also found that people who experienced greater cognitive decline between childhood and adulthood tended to have slower walking speeds at 45.This suggests that gait may mirror a person's lifelong brain health rather than simply their physical condition at a particular age.Researchers therefore argue that walking speed should not be viewed only as a measure of aging in eldery people.It may provideimpewindow ntoaging,bran health and cognitive 英语试题第4页（共8页） functioning much eer inlife The US National nAging similarly described walking speed as a potentially useful indicator of how both the body and brain are aging. Still,there is no reason to panie if your walker.Intelligence is influenced by many factors,and walking speed is only one possible marker among them. 12.What did researchers find about walking speed? A.It improved hand muscles. B.It was responsible for aging. C.It balanced brain volumes.D.It was linked to intelligence. 13.What does gait speed reflect? A.How well different systems work together. B.How strong a healthy person's legs become. C.How effectively movement controls the brain. D.How quickly the environment shapes vision. 14.What does the author show by mentioning the US National Institute on Aging? A.The suggestion for future studies. B.The possible reasons for the findings. C.The explanation of the study method. D.The reliability of the study finding. 15.What is the best title for the text? A.Brain Aging:Risks of Low Intelligence .bavins sqolovns ne nsrw avebnol B.Walking Technique:Paths to Brain Power C.Walking Pace:A Mirror of Brain Health D.Sharp Mind:A Driver Behind Brain Youth 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。 With rapid AI development,many routine tasks in the workplace are now done quickly by smart machines.More and more people worry that AI may take away their jobs and replace human workers.However,AI is just a useful tool.16 The most important human advantage is real creativity and the ability to think flexibly.AI can only work with information that already exists,following fixed rules.It cannot come up with truly new ideas.In areas like marketing,design and business planning,workers often face new problems that have never appeared before.17 This kind of creative thinking pushes society forward and makes work more colorful and meaningful. 18 Work is not only about finishing tasks;it also means communicating with other people and working as a team.We can sense when a workmate is upset,calm down an angry customer and build trust slowly over time.19 AI may reply quickly to questions,but it cannot truly feel what another person is going through. Besides,humans can make wise decisions when something unexpected happens.Real working situations are often complex and full of surprises.AI follows its programmed rules. 20 When a crisis appears,a human worker can stop,think and choose the proper way to deal with it.This sense of responsibility is something no machine can ever have. Instead of fearing Al,we should welcome it as a partner.When we put AI's speed together with our own human strengths,we can achieve far more than either one alone. 英语试题第5页（共8页） A.These strengths will keep us improving AI. B.This keeps collaboration easy and agreeable C.In contrast,humans can tell right from wrong. D.But humans can always get along well with AI E.They need to invent fresh solutions to deal with them. F.Humans still have special strengths that no machine can copy. G.Humans also understand feelings in a way machines never can. 第二部分语言运用（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人空白处的最佳 选项。 In Liverpool,football is a way of life.Six-year-old Isaac stood out as a devoted 21 of Liverpool Football Club.Born with a rare disease that made walking and speaking difficult,he never let his condition 22 him-attending school daily,singing the team's songs,and practicing the guitar.

Then,the first envelope appeared.One Monday morning,she found it pushed through the letterbox:one thousand pounds in used notes,no name,no note-only a weak smell of pipe tobacco. Every month after that,another envelope came,always on a Monday.The library breathed again.Books were mended ()the boiler was repaired,and children returned to the reading room. Elspeth tried hard to discover her secret helper.She asked the bank if the notes could be tracked;once she even waited until midnight.Nothing.Her only clue was Tobias Fenwick.He was the strangest man in Oakbridge-a retired school caretaker who lived alone in a small house near the library,and rarely spoke to anyone.His wife Margaret Fenwick,who had worked as a cleaner for forty years in the library,passed away two years ago.Yet it was Tobias whom she sometimes caught sight of at dawn,quietly sweeping the leaves from the library steps before anyone woke,and it was his bicycle,she was almost sure,that leaned against the fence on the Mondays when an envelope arrived. In December,the county council announced unexpected news:a charitable foundation would double every donation the library received-on one condition.The donor must stand up at a public meeting and be thanked by name.Without a named giver,there would be no grant ()But nobody claimed the donation.Elspeth resolved to track down the donor.That Monday,Elspeth switched off the lamp and waited in the dark.At 6:00 am,a thin figure bent before the letterbox,an envelope in his gloved hand. 注意 .续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Elspeth opened the door quickly Tobias requested Elspeth say Margaret if the name had to be made public. 09 英语试题第8页（共8页）
