Our first introduction occurred while I was teaching a nursing course at the care center. "You need to meet our new resident, Ruby!" the charge nurse said. I simply said hello to the eighty-nine-year-old lady, and five years later we are what Ruby refers to as BFFs（Best Friends Forever）.
Over the years, I have realized that in an intergenerational friendship such as ours, each generation has so much to learn and teach each other. Ruby was also a nurse. I loved to hear about her nursing practice, and she was always eager to hear about today's advances in healthcare.
One day, I picked up all four of my grandchildren to visit Ruby. The next intergenerational friendships were born. Over the next few years, I witnessed the happiness that the children and Ruby shared. They developed a mutual love for each other that I wished we could recreate for other elderly people. This thought stayed with me until I retired from nursing a few years later.
I spent the next eight months creating Ms. Ruby and the Gigi Squad: Friendship Comes in All Ages. This labor-of-love book records the many fun events the children created for Ruby over the years. They held surprise birthday parties, tea parties, and took her to school musicals.
This book has taken my life by storm as it has received diverse awards and brought many opportunities to publicly speak about intergenerational friendships.
My vision for the book was originally on a smaller scale and written to encourage families with children to visit an older adult. I was in awe when entire schools began approaching me to use the book for service projects. One activity that I included in the book, titled The Sunshine Bag Project, took off, and children began giving the elderly these special bags that included letters, cards, and small treasures.
It was also a joy to know that in the next chapter of life, I could continue to make a difference to others—all because I had the courage to step out of my comfort zone and take a wonderful step toward authorship.
24. What has the author learned from her relationship with Ruby
A. Older adults are lonely and in need of care.
B. Nurses are more likely to develop friendships.
C. Advanced healthcare can bridge generation gaps.
D. Friendships serve as a source of learning across ages.
25. What is the main theme of the author's book
A. The joy of intergenerational friendships. B. The benefits of friendships.
C. The importance of providing healthcare. D. The creation of fun events.
26. How did the book impact on society
A. Schools promoted children's reading. B. Children started befriending the elderly.
C. More authors wrote stories about elders. D. Service projects gained great popularity.
27. What is the significance of the book for the author
A. It provided her with financial stability. B. It helped her reconnect with old friends.
C. It enabled her to contribute to others' lives. D. It made her childhood dream come true.
C
If you've long assumed that you must rid yourself of delicious foods to be healthy, a new study offers encouraging news: Eating dark chocolate has been associated with a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
The research did not prove that the chocolate itself was responsible for this health benefit; it could be something else about the people who ate dark chocolate that made them less likely to develop diabetes. And dark chocolate should not be considered a "magic bullet" for preventing diabetes, said Dr. Sun, a professor of nutrition from Harvard.
But the findings do build on a larger body of research demonstrating links between dark chocolate consumption and reduced risks of certain health conditions like high blood pressure.
"The results", Dr. Sun added, "suggest that a little dark chocolate can be part of a healthy diet". In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, researchers began studying three groups of mostly white health professionals. Every four years, the more than 190,000 participants completed detailed diet questionnaires, which asked how often they consumed chocolate.
Beginning in 2006 and 2007, depending on the group, the researchers tweaked（调整）the questionnaires to ask how often participants ate dark chocolate and milk chocolate. They followed the participants' health for up to 34 years. During that time, nearly 19,000 participants developed Type 2 diabetes.
After adjusting for other aspects of their lifestyles, such as exercise, alcohol consumption, as well as their age and family history of diabetes, the researchers found that people who consumed at least five servings of any type of chocolate per week had a 10 percent lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared with those who rarely or never ate chocolate.
But when they drilled down into the data from the nearly 112, 000 people who provided details on the types of chocolate they consumed, the researchers found an even more striking result: Those who consumed at least five servings of dark chocolate per week had a 21 percent lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than those who consumed dark chocolate less than once per month.
28. Which statement would Dr. Sun agree with
A. Dark chocolate alone can not prevent diabetes.
B. Dark chocolate can be eaten in large quantities.
C. Chocolate is likely to directly prevent Type 2 diabetes.
D. Milk chocolate and dark one have equal health benefits.
29. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By tracking people with a family history of diabetes.
B. By observing participants' chocolate-eating habits.
C. By performing experiments and making comparisons.
D. By conducting surveys and making adjustments.
30. In which section of a newspaper might you read this article
A. Diet & Culture. B. Health & Science.
C. Food & Lifestyle. D. Sports & Exercise.
31. Which can be the best title of the passage
A. Dark Chocolate: A New Cure for Diabetes
B. Dark Chocolate: A Promising Healthy Diet
C. Could Dark Chocolate Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes
D. What's the Link Between Dark Chocolate and Health
D
The interplay between literature and scientific research has been quite clear throughout history. At a surface level, literature often expects future scientific developments, and science, in turn, provides a rich source of inspiration for literary creation. However, the interaction between these two goes beyond just creativity; it invites deeper thoughts on the ethical（道德的）and philosophical impacts of technological advancements.
For instance, science fiction works like Isaac Asimov's I, Robot play a direct role in shaping and inspiring the development of artificial intelligence（AI）. This book pictures a future where robots coexist with humans and are governed by the "Three Laws of Robotics". These laws not only influence the real-world AI research but also become a bases in the debate surrounding AI ethics. These fictional laws provide more than just a blueprint for scientists; they serve as a bridge, making complex technological issues easier for the public to take in.
Yet, the influence of literature on science extends even further. Take Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem as an example. The scientists in this fiction are not simply pioneers of scientific breakthroughs—they also represent the difficult choices and inner conflicts that humanity faces. Through their struggles, Liu presents a tough question: As science pushes us into a new world, are we truly prepared to bear the responsibility for the unforeseen impacts of technological advancements in the future
The true value of literature in relation to science is its ability to stir the pot. It questions not only what we can achieve through science but also whether we should go after these achievements. While science focuses on problem-solving and innovation, literature makes us consider the broader influence on nature and society, ensuring our progress is guided by wisdom, understanding, and humanity.
32. What do we know about I, Robot
A. It instructs scientists in detail. B. It inspires research on bridges.
C. It sets laws for robots in the real world. D. It improves public understanding of science.
33. Why does the author mention The Three-Body Problem
A. To warn about the dangers of technology.
B. To point out the breakthroughs of science.
C. To show literature's ethical concerns about science.
D. To suggest literature's direct influence on innovation.
34. What is the true value of literature in relation to science
A. Educating and pleasing readers.
B. Exploring and explaining scientific concepts.
C. Ensuring and smoothing the progress of humanity.
D. Challenging and reflecting on scientific development.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Science: the Blueprint of Literature B. Science: a Whisper in Literature's Ear
C. Literature: a Critical Insight into Science D. Literature: the Gateway to Scientific Ideas

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People these days are posting about their lives on social media. But what if you're a private and introverted person like me What if you want to live in the moment instead of sharing every bit of your life To be honest, it's nobody's business but your own. 36
Escape stalkers（跟踪者）.
I've been a public person as a jazz vocalist for years. It exposed me to stalkers who felt they knew me, just because I was present everywhere. Needless to say, it brought me much anxiety and stress. At some point I asked myself—is being visible more important than my peace of mind 37 The answer is a clear NO. I just want to spend life doing what I love with the people I love.
Protect privacy.
38 I need alone time to process what I'm struggling with and honest real talks with the people I trust. I might share a lesson learned from an experience, but now I won't. I know that by keeping my life private on social media I may miss out on some connections, but I honor and respect the people in my life who value their privacy, so I am being mindful and protect that
39
Another reason I keep my life private is that I prefer to be in the present moment and appreciate it fully. To be on your phone constantly, or to film everything you do, can be quite disrespectful to the people you spend your time with. You lose out on those spontaneous（自发的）moments and a deeper connection. I choose what I share and when I share it, and the rest is for experiencing life without expectations.
Live your life fully, regardless of whether the world knows it or not! 40 I just want you to know it's OK if you don't.
A. Experience a private life. B. Live in the moment. C. Don't I really care about privacy D. Are my followers more important than my friends and family E. If you feel like sharing your life openly without hesitation, go for it F. Here are my reasons for not sharing my personal life on social media. G. It can be quite challenging to go through tough moments with everyone watching

Often, when he came to visit, my grandfather would bring me a present. These were never the sorts of things that other people brought, such as dolls, books or toys. My dolls and toys have been gone for more than half a century, but many of my grandfather's gifts are still with me.
Once he brought me a little plastic cup. I looked inside, expecting to see something special. But there was only some loose soil in it, which made me disappointed. He smiled at me affectionately. Turning around, he picked up a little teapot from my dolls' tea set and took me to the kitchen where he filled the little cup with water. Back in the living room, he put it on the windowsill（窗台）and handed me the teapot. "If you promise to put some water in the cup every day, something may happen. " he told me.
At that time, I was only five years old. This whole thing made no sense to me at all. I looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Do I have to water it every day What will happen " He nodded to me with encouragement, "Yes, every day, dear.”
And so I promised. At first, curious to see what would happen, I did not mind doing this. But as the days went by and nothing changed, it got harder and harder to remember to put water in the cup. After a week, I asked my grandfather if it was time to stop yet. Shaking his head no, he said, "Every day." The second week was even harder, and I became regretful of my promise to put water in the cup. When my grandfather came again, I tried to give it back to him, but he refused to take it, saying simply the same words, "Every day." By the third week, I began to forget to put water in the cup during the day. Often, I would remember only after I had been put to bed and would have to get out of bed and water it in the dark. But I did not miss a single day.

Text 10
W: I'm glad to be here to talk about my gap year, which took place over two decades ago. I decided to go to the island of Bali. I really wanted to volunteer at a national park, but I was too late to apply so I went for a job at a diving center. This turned out to be better than what I considered, like helping in a school.
When it comes to packing, obviously you need your travel documents, your phone and charger. Then think about any medicine you might need. How did I stay in touch with family When I first arrived, I wrote a letter every week. They took at least four weeks to arrive though. Then, when I met someone else who had a blog, I realized that that's the thing to do. A phone call is nice, but the time difference can make that difficult.
There are lots of things you'll need to adapt to when you' re in another country. The language of course. But luckily, so many people speak English. And I knew I'd struggle with the hot food. I hadn't realized the effect the climate would have on us, though. Generally speaking, I really enjoyed my time away. It's a good way to make friends, and you gain confidence too.
