A
Whether you feel like taking a road trip, or you just need some fun, you’ll enjoy this list of popular tourist attractions.
Alabama: Gulf Coast Beaches
If Alabama wasn’t the location for your next summer beach vacation, you may want to reconsider. There are 32 miles of white sands that have washed down from the Appalachian Mountains for thousands of years. That’s probably why over six million people visit Alabama’s Gulf Coast beaches every year. Ten dollars per person.
Alaska: Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruise
Alaska is the place to go for spotting breathtaking (令人惊叹的) wildlife. In fact, the number of visitors who travel to Alaska to see wildlife has increased 45 percent. The Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruise will bring you up close to whales, sea lions, and sea birds. A five-hour trip that starts at noon and covers 55 miles of sea will be the best $98 you’ve ever spent.
Arkansas: Hot Springs National Park
Skip the beach and choose a new type of relaxation at Hot Springs National Park. It’s America’s oldest national and the smallest national park. There’s a no-booking policy, perfect for travelers rolling through. Doors open at 8 a.m., so get there early!
Connecticut: Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History
Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History is a must stop if you’re traveling nearby Yale University. It attracts plenty of people and has many collections including New England birds, dinosaurs, Greek and Roman antiquities, and even an Egyptian mummy. Adults pay $13 for entry, but if you want to visit for free, go on a Thursday.

Balancing unsteadily as you try to walk across a rope strung high above the ground undoubtedly makes you anxious. But professional tightrope walker Chris Bullzini is getting people with anxiety and confidence issues to do just that.
Chris should be super-strong and focused for what he does, but that wasn’t always the case. “If you met me as a kid, you’d laugh out loud knowing how I’ve turned out,” Chris said. “I was skinny, tall and totally awkward.” What Chris did have was an interest in circus (马戏团), mastering juggling and then, in his early twenties becoming fascinated by seeing a wire walker. Travelling around 28 countries, he perfected different disciplines of rope walking, from loose and tight ropes just a couple of metres off the ground, to highway.
“Although you have to master balance and body coordination, about eighty percent of it is mental. I experience fear when I’m up there, but I don’t get scared. If I let nervousness take over, I would lose control and plummet,” he said.
Chris’s skills saw him perform with circus du Soleil on the film Dumbo. But after returning to hometown and setting up his circus yard, he decided to offer free anxiety-reducing workshops. “I was pretty lost when young and had my own issues with anxiety. So I thought helping people gain confidence and belief from what they are doing would definitely be awesome,” Chris said.
Participants wear safety equipment and progress at their own comfort level, with some staying near ground level and others attempting a significant 5. 5-meter-high wire. Chris said, “The sense of what you’ve achieved and how you’ve coped is then stuck in the mind. When you feel anxious, or the fear comes in, or they have a big challenge that seems impossible, you can go back to the preparation exercises we did.”
People who thought they’d never be able to do it push the anxiety aside and walk across as if they were born for it. Watching that transformation is a gift.
25.What led Chris to pursue tightrope walking in the beginning
A. His interest in circus and an inspiration.
B. His desire for movie performance.
C. His goal to overcome anxiety.
D. His natural athletic talent.
26.What does the underlined word “plummet” mean in paragraph 3
A. Give up. B. Get trapped.
C. Become confused. D. Fall down.
27.What can we learn about Chris’s workshops
A. They’re safe and self-paced.
B. They focus more on physical skills.
C. They require participants to try highway.
D. They are designed to train professionals.
28.What is the main purpose of the text
A. To describe a performer’s success story.
B. To explain rope walking techniques.
C. To promote free workshops offered by Chris.
D. To show how rope walking helps with anxiety.
C
Different cultures have various festivals, but the joy and eagerness are the same. For us adults, celebrations are a way of taking a break from heavy work, re-live past memories, and keeping traditions alive, but what about children
Well, for our kids, this is the perfect time to learn and enrich their líves with knowledge. At festivals, I remember, I introduced the value and importance of personal connections and cultural treasure to my kids while they were having fun. Child experts strongly suggest that parents tell their kids various rituals (仪式) of the festivals and have them join in celebratory activities.
I think every festival has a rich backstory, and every story has plenty of lessons and values to teach. Besides, historical and geographical background connected with festivals give reasons why we celebrate festivals with specific rituals.
Kids need to have a deep-rooted understanding of the identity (身份) of their culture and traditions. Because this not only helps in developing a positive sense of identity but also pushes kids to connect with their cultures through rituals, native decorations, food, etc., to keep continuity over generations. Thus, parents should make kids a central part of all festivals.
It is no secret that gifts bring joy and excitement to children. Every time I give gifts to my kids, I find the gifts excite their senses and make them feel valued. I must make my kids believe that their families care about their interests and desires. Thus, gifting is a meaningful way to express feelings to kids. What’s more, the act of giving and receiving gifts helps develop feelings of care and kindness.
29.What do festivals mean for children
A. A perfect time to have a rest. B. A chance to increase knowledge.
C. A memory of their old days. D. An effort to protect traditions.
30.Why should kids be “a central part of all festivals”
A. They enjoy festival backstories. B. They love history and geography.
C. They must know who they are. D. They can bring much happiness.
31.Who are the intended readers of the text
A. Kids. B. Teachers. C. Headmasters. D. Parents.
32.What is a suitable title of the passage
A. Importance of Festivals in Kids’ Life
B. Parents' Role in Celebrating Festivals
C. Benefits of Festival Rituals to Kids
D. Principles of Kids' Love for Festivals
D
Dark chocolate is often seen as a healthier choice. Many people believe it can help with problems like high blood pressure and even improve mental sharpness. But is this really true Scientific evidence presents a more complex and less encouraging picture.
The health reputation of dark chocolate mainly comes from a compound called flavanols (黄烷醇), which are found in cocoa beans. Some studies, particularly those funded by the chocolate industry, suggest that these flavanols are beneficial. However, independent and more detailed research often fails to support these exciting claims.
Research on flavanols comes in different forms. Some short-term experiments showed that flavanols could slightly lower blood pressure. But the results across many studies are not consistent. Other studies, called observational studies, simply ask people about their diets. They found that individuals who consume more flavanols tend to be healthier, whereas this correlation does not equal causation. These people might be healthier for other reasons, such as having higher incomes, better overall diets, or being less likely to smoke.
To overcome these limitations, a large-scale trial named COSMOS was conducted. It involved thousands of older adults who took daily flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were revealing: while the supplements did not reduce the risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, or cancer, they did lead to a significant 27% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病).
Despite this single positive outcome, it is crucial not to misinterpret it. Achieving the same dose of flavanols used in the study by eating dark chocolate would be problematic. One would have to consume large amounts, which also means ingesting high levels of added sugar and saturated fats (饱和脂肪) — both known to be harmful to heart health. Therefore, getting flavanols from dark chocolate is not an efficient or healthy strategy. Healthier alternatives include pure cocoa powder, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and green tea.
While dark chocolate can be enjoyed as a tasty treat, its health benefits have been greatly overstated. The idea that it is a health food appears to be rooted more in clever marketing than in solid scientific evidence.
33.What is the main reason to question the health claims about dark chocolate
A. It is only eaten on special occasions.
B. It lacks support from solid scientific research.
C. It has been replaced by other healthier foods.
D. Its ability to improve mental sharpness is unproven.
34.What can we infer about observational studies
A. They are the most reliable type of scientific study.
B. They prove that dark chocolate is the healthiest food.
C. Their results might be influenced by other factors.
D. They focus on the effects of smoking rather than overall diets.
35.Why does the author mention “added sugar and saturated fats” in Paragraph 5
A. To explain why dark chocolate tastes bitter.
B. To suggest that people should eat more dark chocolate.
C. To prove that all dark chocolate is harmful to heart disease.
D. To show that dark chocolate is not the best source of flavanols.
36.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Sweet Truth: Dark chocolate is a Superfood
B. Flavanols: The Secret to a Long Life
C. The COSMOS Study: A Final Proof for chocolate
D. Dark chocolate: A Healthy Treat or a Marketing Trick

Reasons Why Literature Is So Important
Today, there are too many people who believe that literature is simply not important or undervalue its ability to stand the test of time and give us great knowledge. There is a stigma (耻辱) in society that implies one who is more drawn to science and math will somehow be more successful in life, and that one who is more excited about literature and other art forms will be bound to live a life of low-paid jobs and unsatisfying careers. 37
To me, however, literature serves as a gateway to learning of the past and increasing my knowledge and understanding of the world. Here are just a few reasons why literature is important.
Expanding horizons.
First and foremost, literature opens our eyes and makes us see more than just what the front door shows. 38 With this, we begin to learn, ask questions, and build our instincts (直觉). We expand our minds.
Appreciation of other cultures and beliefs.
Reading about history, anthropology (人类学) or religious studies provides a method of learning about cultures and beliefs other than our own. It allows us to understand and experience other living systems in other worlds. 39 We can learn, understand and appreciate it.
40
All kinds of literature, poems, essays, novels, or short stories, help us address human nature and conditions that affect all people. We learn that imperfection is not always bad and that normal can be boring. We learn that life must be lived to the fullest. We need literature in order to connect with our own mankind.
41 Any debate over this makes no sense. It provides growth, strengthens our minds, and gives us the ability to think outside the box.
A．Addressing mankind.
B．Better writing skills.
C．Literature is important and necessary.
D．It helps us understand the wide world surrounding us.
E．Many of us learn what critical thinking (批判性思维) is in our language arts classes.
F．We get personal views and understanding into the minds from the inside looking out.
G．Somewhere along the line, the world has come to think that literature is insignificant.
37.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
38.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
39.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
40.A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

I was born small, which often left me feeling unconfident. During my second year of high school, my family moved to a different city. Getting used to life as a new kid has always been difficult for me, and this move made it more challenging. In my new school, I felt physically and mentally uneasy. Other students had already built friendships, leaving me without a friend.
Besides, I found English learning boring and didn’t know what to do during English classes. So, I spent my free time drawing because that was what I usually did when I was alone.
I still recall the first day in the school dining hall. While waiting in line for food, I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen. As I passed by, they glanced at me with surprise. “He looks so small,” someone said in a low voice. My face burned with embarrassment and I bent my head. Pretending not to hear them, I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone.
In my first English class, I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the book. The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me. Losing interest quickly, I began drawing on the book. A few minutes later, my English teacher, Mr. Frank — a kind man — walked up to me.
“Nice drawing,” he said gently. “You know, language is also an art form; it carries its own charm and beauty. I believe you could find English attractive if you discover where to begin.”

Whether you feel like taking a road trip, or you just need some fun, you’ll enjoy this list of popular tourist attractions.
Alabama: Gulf Coast Beaches
If Alabama wasn’t the location for your next summer beach vacation, you may want to reconsider. There are 32 miles of white sands that have washed down from the Appalachian Mountains for thousands of years. That’s probably why over six million people visit Alabama’s Gulf Coast beaches every year. Ten dollars per person.
Alaska: Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruise
Alaska is the place to go for spotting breathtaking (令人惊叹的) wildlife. In fact, the number of visitors who travel to Alaska to see wildlife has increased 45 percent. The Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruise will bring you up close to whales, sea lions, and sea birds. A five-hour trip that starts at noon and covers 55 miles of sea will be the best $98 you’ve ever spent.
Arkansas: Hot Springs National Park
Skip the beach and choose a new type of relaxation at Hot Springs National Park. It’s America’s oldest national and the smallest national park. There’s a no-booking policy, perfect for travelers rolling through. Doors open at 8 a.m., so get there early!

Balancing unsteadily as you try to walk across a rope strung high above the ground undoubtedly makes you anxious. But professional tightrope walker Chris Bullzini is getting people with anxiety and confidence issues to do just that.
Chris should be super-strong and focused for what he does, but that wasn’t always the case. “If you met me as a kid, you’d laugh out loud knowing how I’ve turned out,” Chris said. “I was skinny, tall and totally awkward.” What Chris did have was an interest in circus (马戏团), mastering juggling and then, in his early twenties becoming fascinated by seeing a wire walker. Travelling around 28 countries, he perfected different disciplines of rope walking, from loose and tight ropes just a couple of metres off the ground, to highway.
“Although you have to master balance and body coordination, about eighty percent of it is mental. I experience fear when I’m up there, but I don’t get scared. If I let nervousness take over, I would lose control and plummet,” he said.
Chris’s skills saw him perform with circus du Soleil on the film Dumbo. But after returning to hometown and setting up his circus yard, he decided to offer free anxiety-reducing workshops. “I was pretty lost when young and had my own issues with anxiety. So I thought helping people gain confidence and belief from what they are doing would definitely be awesome,” Chris said.
Participants wear safety equipment and progress at their own comfort level, with some staying near ground level and others attempting a significant 5. 5-meter-high wire. Chris said, “The sense of what you’ve achieved and how you’ve coped is then stuck in the mind. When you feel anxious, or the fear comes in, or they have a big challenge that seems impossible, you can go back to the preparation exercises we did.”
People who thought they’d never be able to do it push the anxiety aside and walk across as if they were born for it. Watching that transformation is a gift.
25.What led Chris to pursue tightrope walking in the beginning
A. His interest in circus and an inspiration.
B. His desire for movie performance.
C. His goal to overcome anxiety.
D. His natural athletic talent.
26.What does the underlined word “plummet” mean in paragraph 3
A. Give up. B. Get trapped.
C. Become confused. D. Fall down.
27.What can we learn about Chris’s workshops
A. They’re safe and self-paced.
B. They focus more on physical skills.
C. They require participants to try highway.
D. They are designed to train professionals.
28.What is the main purpose of the text
A. To describe a performer’s success story.
B. To explain rope walking techniques.
C. To promote free workshops offered by Chris.
D. To show how rope walking helps with anxiety.
C
Different cultures have various festivals, but the joy and eagerness are the same. For us adults, celebrations are a way of taking a break from heavy work, re-live past memories, and keeping traditions alive, but what about children
Well, for our kids, this is the perfect time to learn and enrich their líves with knowledge. At festivals, I remember, I introduced the value and importance of personal connections and cultural treasure to my kids while they were having fun. Child experts strongly suggest that parents tell their kids various rituals (仪式) of the festivals and have them join in celebratory activities.
I think every festival has a rich backstory, and every story has plenty of lessons and values to teach. Besides, historical and geographical background connected with festivals give reasons why we celebrate festivals with specific rituals.
Kids need to have a deep-rooted understanding of the identity (身份) of their culture and traditions. Because this not only helps in developing a positive sense of identity but also pushes kids to connect with their cultures through rituals, native decorations, food, etc., to keep continuity over generations. Thus, parents should make kids a central part of all festivals.
It is no secret that gifts bring joy and excitement to children. Every time I give gifts to my kids, I find the gifts excite their senses and make them feel valued. I must make my kids believe that their families care about their interests and desires. Thus, gifting is a meaningful way to express feelings to kids. What’s more, the act of giving and receiving gifts helps develop feelings of care and kindness.
29.What do festivals mean for children
A. A perfect time to have a rest. B. A chance to increase knowledge.
C. A memory of their old days. D. An effort to protect traditions.
30.Why should kids be “a central part of all festivals”
A. They enjoy festival backstories. B. They love history and geography.
C. They must know who they are. D. They can bring much happiness.
31.Who are the intended readers of the text
A. Kids. B. Teachers. C. Headmasters. D. Parents.
32.What is a suitable title of the passage
A. Importance of Festivals in Kids’ Life
B. Parents' Role in Celebrating Festivals
C. Benefits of Festival Rituals to Kids
D. Principles of Kids' Love for Festivals
D
Dark chocolate is often seen as a healthier choice. Many people believe it can help with problems like high blood pressure and even improve mental sharpness. But is this really true Scientific evidence presents a more complex and less encouraging picture.
The health reputation of dark chocolate mainly comes from a compound called flavanols (黄烷醇), which are found in cocoa beans. Some studies, particularly those funded by the chocolate industry, suggest that these flavanols are beneficial. However, independent and more detailed research often fails to support these exciting claims.
Research on flavanols comes in different forms. Some short-term experiments showed that flavanols could slightly lower blood pressure. But the results across many studies are not consistent. Other studies, called observational studies, simply ask people about their diets. They found that individuals who consume more flavanols tend to be healthier, whereas this correlation does not equal causation. These people might be healthier for other reasons, such as having higher incomes, better overall diets, or being less likely to smoke.
To overcome these limitations, a large-scale trial named COSMOS was conducted. It involved thousands of older adults who took daily flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were revealing: while the supplements did not reduce the risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, or cancer, they did lead to a significant 27% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病).
Despite this single positive outcome, it is crucial not to misinterpret it. Achieving the same dose of flavanols used in the study by eating dark chocolate would be problematic. One would have to consume large amounts, which also means ingesting high levels of added sugar and saturated fats (饱和脂肪) — both known to be harmful to heart health. Therefore, getting flavanols from dark chocolate is not an efficient or healthy strategy. Healthier alternatives include pure cocoa powder, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and green tea.
While dark chocolate can be enjoyed as a tasty treat, its health benefits have been greatly overstated. The idea that it is a health food appears to be rooted more in clever marketing than in solid scientific evidence.
33.What is the main reason to question the health claims about dark chocolate
A. It is only eaten on special occasions.
B. It lacks support from solid scientific research.
C. It has been replaced by other healthier foods.
D. Its ability to improve mental sharpness is unproven.
34.What can we infer about observational studies
A. They are the most reliable type of scientific study.
B. They prove that dark chocolate is the healthiest food.
C. Their results might be influenced by other factors.
D. They focus on the effects of smoking rather than overall diets.
35.Why does the author mention “added sugar and saturated fats” in Paragraph 5
A. To explain why dark chocolate tastes bitter.
B. To suggest that people should eat more dark chocolate.
C. To prove that all dark chocolate is harmful to heart disease.
D. To show that dark chocolate is not the best source of flavanols.
36.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Sweet Truth: Dark chocolate is a Superfood
B. Flavanols: The Secret to a Long Life
C. The COSMOS Study: A Final Proof for chocolate
D. Dark chocolate: A Healthy Treat or a Marketing Trick

Reasons Why Literature Is So Important
Today, there are too many people who believe that literature is simply not important or undervalue its ability to stand the test of time and give us great knowledge. There is a stigma (耻辱) in society that implies one who is more drawn to science and math will somehow be more successful in life, and that one who is more excited about literature and other art forms will be bound to live a life of low-paid jobs and unsatisfying careers. 37
To me, however, literature serves as a gateway to learning of the past and increasing my knowledge and understanding of the world. Here are just a few reasons why literature is important.
Expanding horizons.
First and foremost, literature opens our eyes and makes us see more than just what the front door shows. 38 With this, we begin to learn, ask questions, and build our instincts (直觉). We expand our minds.
Appreciation of other cultures and beliefs.
Reading about history, anthropology (人类学) or religious studies provides a method of learning about cultures and beliefs other than our own. It allows us to understand and experience other living systems in other worlds. 39 We can learn, understand and appreciate it.
40
All kinds of literature, poems, essays, novels, or short stories, help us address human nature and conditions that affect all people. We learn that imperfection is not always bad and that normal can be boring. We learn that life must be lived to the fullest. We need literature in order to connect with our own mankind.
41 Any debate over this makes no sense. It provides growth, strengthens our minds, and gives us the ability to think outside the box.
A．Addressing mankind.
B．Better writing skills.
C．Literature is important and necessary.
D．It helps us understand the wide world surrounding us.
E．Many of us learn what critical thinking (批判性思维) is in our language arts classes.
F．We get personal views and understanding into the minds from the inside looking out.
G．Somewhere along the line, the world has come to think that literature is insignificant.

I was born small, which often left me feeling unconfident. During my second year of high school, my family moved to a different city. Getting used to life as a new kid has always been difficult for me, and this move made it more challenging. In my new school, I felt physically and mentally uneasy. Other students had already built friendships, leaving me without a friend.
Besides, I found English learning boring and didn’t know what to do during English classes. So, I spent my free time drawing because that was what I usually did when I was alone.
I still recall the first day in the school dining hall. While waiting in line for food, I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen. As I passed by, they glanced at me with surprise. “He looks so small,” someone said in a low voice. My face burned with embarrassment and I bent my head. Pretending not to hear them, I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone.
In my first English class, I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the book. The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me. Losing interest quickly, I began drawing on the book. A few minutes later, my English teacher, Mr. Frank — a kind man — walked up to me.
“Nice drawing,” he said gently. “You know, language is also an art form; it carries its own charm and beauty. I believe you could find English attractive if you discover where to begin.”
