A
These destinations march to the beat of their own drum. So put on your dancing shoes and head to these sweet-sounding cities.
New Orleans
In the 19th century, slaves gathered on Sundays to play drums, dance, and sing in Congo Square. Those lively rhythms of Africa ran head on with the sounds of Europe to create jazz, a typical American art form that has inspired generations of Americans and spread around the globe. But this isn’t suit-wearing, head-nodding, polite jazz. New Orleans jazz sweeps you off your feet and makes you jump and clap and sing along.
Chicago
Large numbers of African Americans left the South in search of better opportunities during 1916~1970 and Chicago attracted scores of these people, who brought with them the sound of the Mississippi River. Here, it changed into something sad and symphonic: blues. Blues was not born in Chicago, but it was here that it found a new voice and began to spread its message around the world.
Memphis
Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. It was here in Sun Studios in the summer of 1951 that Ike Turner and his band the Delta Cats recorded “Rocket 88”, widely regarded as the first rock and roll song. But, like so many great things, it happened by accident the guitarist’s loudspeaker broke down during the recording, creating a unique guitar sound that would become a hallmark of the music. People didn’t know how to classify it, but they knew they loved it. The rest is history.
New York City
New York is one of the world’s greatest cities where you can listen to all kinds of music. But to experience a true New York state of mind, you have to leave the shiny towers and Broadway shows of Manhattan and head to Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens to explore the city’s hip-hop history.
1. What do New Orleans jazz and Chicago blues have in common
A．They sound very sad.
B．They have similar origin.
C．They happened by accident.
D．They are played on the guitar.
2. When was rock and roll born
A．In the 19th century.
B．In the late 19th century.
C．In the early 20th century.
D．In the mid-20th century.
3. What are Harlem and Queers known for
A．Blues. B．Jazz. C．Hip-hop. D．Rock and roll.

Evan Budz, a 15-year-old from Ontario, Canada, is receiving global recognition for his invention: an autonomous bionic sea turtle robot. The robot, which can monitor ecological systems underwater, won Budz a first-place prize in the European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS).
“The idea for this project struck me when I observed the fluent movement of a turtle while camping,” Budz said.
He saw potential in the way the turtle moved, compared with traditional systems of other autonomous robots. He created an approach that copied the way green sea turtles moved underwater. Not only is it a unique way to move through the water, but it also has less impact on the very environments scientists are trying to protect.
“Aquatic (水生的) habitats are vital to humanity, and the routine surveying of these environments has become critical,” Budz explained. “Using an innovative bionic robot for such an analysis ensures low ecological disruption (扰乱).” Budz said the robot used a computer vision imaging system to quantify coral health, which can detect coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) with 96% accuracy. “The information gathered by the robot will ideally allow the right organizations to identify where these threats may be occurring, increasing awareness and supporting efforts to increase the overall health of impacted areas,” Budz said.
“For ecological monitoring, I want to be as low as possible in terms of disruption to the environment,” Budz told CBC News. “So, by imitating the turtle, I can ensure that I don’t disrupt any other organisms while I’m conducting the monitor.” He tested the device in his grandparents’ backyard pool and determined that the robot was precise and reliable.
“Evan’s success at EUCYS 2025 shows that his project is truly world-class,” said Reni Barlow, the executive director at Youth Science Canada. “An extraordinary innovation that showcases the ability of Canadian youth to tackle complex technical and environmental challenges.” For Budz, it’s just a cause he has cared about for much of his adolescence.
4. What inspired Evan Budz to create his robot
A．The decline of coral.
B．The coral’s poor condition.
C．The motion of a turtle.
D．The environmental issue.
5. What is an advantage of Evan Budz’s robot compared with traditional robots
A．It can move freely underwater.
B．It hardly disturbs other organisms.
C．It can check coral’s health.
D．It ensures the regular surveying.
6. Why did Evan Budz test the robot in a backyard pool
A．To meet his grandparents’ demands.
B．To compare it with other robots.
C．To measure its speed in the deep sea.
D．To test its accuracy and reliability.
7. What did Reni Barlow think of Evan Budz’s project
A．Excellent.
B．Traditional.
C．Cost-effective.
D．Time-saving.
C
Back in the 1800s, Charles Darwin was among the first to come up with the idea that positive facial expressions can make us happier and negative facial expressions can make us sadder or angrier. And it is still taught in psychology classes today.
But researchers are now finding that this phenomenon may be more complex than they once thought. A study published last year that reviewed around 50 years of data, including the results of nearly 300 experiments testing “the facial feedback theory”, has found that the effects were extremely tiny.
“All told, only about 7% of the participants felt happier when they tried to put on smiling faces,” says Nick Coles who led the study. “The result adds to a debate that has been ongoing since the dawn of psychology.”
The debate over whether the simple act of moving one’s facial muscles into different shapes can make one feel happier or sadder has grown especially heated in the past few years. In another study, published in 2016, 17 labs around the globe failed to reproduce the results.
Although it was a big blow to “facial feedback theory”, in 2018, researchers in Israel reran the experiment once more. They said they were able to reproduce the results — as long as the participants weren’t being observed or filmed.
“It gets complicated,” says Paula Niedenthal who was not involved in the recent research. “Part of the reason for the disparate findings may be that there are slight differences in the dynamics of each expression. For example, there are lots of different kinds of smiles. Not all smiles are genuine smiles of joy, and they’re hard to re-create in a lab.”
Moreover, though most lab studies have found that there’s no harm in smiling, a study published this year found that service workers who had to put on a smile for customers all day had a higher risk of heavy drinking after work.
“I think we should hold back on telling people to turn their frowns upside down,” Niedenthal advises. “Because I know when I’m sad and people tell me to smile, it just makes me angrier.”
8. What might Charles Darwin suggest we do when we are sad
A．Put on forced smiles.
B．Seek advice from psychologists.
C．Think about happy things.
D．Express our true feelings honestly.
9. How did Nick Coles carry out his study
A．He did hundreds of experiments.
B．He interviewed thousands of people.
C．He followed the participants for decades.
D．He analyzed data from many related articles.
10. According to the latest study, forcing oneself to smile all day may lead to ________.
A．confidence
B．depression
C．relaxation
D．embarrassment
11. What is Paula Niedenthal’s attitude to “the facial feedback theory”
A．Favorable.
B．Unconcerned.
C．Disapproving.
D．Unclear.
D
A new study out of King’s College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date. It was conducted by the researchers from the university, who got half of the participants, including 50 volunteers, aged 18 to 40, to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London. The control group, on the other hand, looked at copies of the same artworks in a non-gallery environment.
All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing.
The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group. The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity, which shows that art attracts the body. Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group.
“Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems, from heart disease to anxiety and depression,” explained Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s senior author. “The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body.”
Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact. “This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you. What’s particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasive — they can be experienced by anyone,” said Jenny Waldman, the director of Art Fund. “We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery, and discover just how good art can make you feel.”
12. What does the new study focus on
A．Differences between artistic styles.
B．Participants’ preferences for artists.
C．Effects of art on various environments.
D．Participants’ physical reactions to art.
13. What is a finding of the study about viewing original art
A．It mainly improves creative thinking.
B．It changes participants’ health indicators.
C．It demands a certain art appreciation level.
D．It has the greatest impact on mental health.
14. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in the last paragraph mean
A．Surprising.
B．Predictable.
C．Universal.
D．Continuous.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．Museum Trips Bring Immediate Benefits.
B．Copying Masterpieces Lowers Stress.
C．London Leads World Gallery Tours.
D．Sensors Reveal Visitors’ Secrets.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I was little, my mom used some kind of blue stickiness material to secure basically everything around our house. Although it worked, it left behind a blue spot and sticky material that was almost impossible to remove, so we eventually stopped using it altogether and settled for drawers that moved their contents around whenever they were opened and closed. 16____ — until I saw a much better alternative on social media. It's called museum gel (凝胶) and it can add the perfect finishing touch to all your organizing and displaying.
The museum gel is a clear gel that comes in a bottle and can be used to hold relatively light items in place. 17____. Also, it doesn't leave any marks behind and can even be reused.
I am always going on about how important it is to use containers to keep possessions organized by category. This is especially true in drawers, where you likely store a variety of small items in dividers, boxes, and specialty organizers. 18____, but the trouble starts when you close the drawer, causing everything to move around. The museum gel is the solution to that problem. A pea-sized bit of gel under the corners of each organizer or container will stop them from moving when you open and close the drawer.
19____. You can use museum gel for an easy way to hang light papers, like a kid's drawings, or add extra security and straightening power to heavier frames (支架) on the wall. This isn't going to replace nails for holding up the heavy things, but it will help some items stay straight and secure on the wall. Also consider it for anything you keep displayed on shelves or flat surfaces, like picture frames, clocks, or valuable items. 20____. There are a lot of possibilities here.
A．But it can do even more.
B．I never really thought about it again.
C．It falls off from walls and surfaces easily.
D．However, I'm probably not going to shop some.
E．Stick it under your candles for some extra safety, too.
F．It never means it can be reused all the time as you imagine.
G．All of those work amazingly for keeping your categories separate.

I used to enjoy going to my aunt’s flower farm. But not recently, because my newly born sister, Rosa, was settled in my old bedroom. For many years, I stored my books and toys in that small room. But now it was changed into her baby room. Both my space and my old life were gone.
One sunny morning, my aunt took me to her farm again. When we arrived there, my aunt said I could pick some flowers for my parents. I used to love this, but today I was so overcome with tired nest and envy that I did not move.
“Why bother to bother them flowers when they are enjoying Rosa at home without me ” I thought while silently helping mg aunt arrange flowers.
“Your mother told me that there hadn’t been much sleep recently for any of you,” my aunt said.
“The alarm clock in Rosa’s room kept going off,” I complained with a huge yawn(哈欠).
I remember that I had to walk around the house like a worn-out mouse when your mother was a baby. I spent the first months hating her so much, “my aunt laughed.” But you and my mother seem so close,” I said, guiltily hiding away my envy of Rosa.” “Now, we are. But it took me years to get used to the role of being a big sister,” she said and pulled me into her arms. “It really takes time, you know.”
A few seconds later, my aunt took me for a walk along the road which was dotted with beautiful flowers. I began to pick the little flowers as we talked. It was like collecting my childhood memories. I remembered how I’d made flower chains with my father, while giving each other the silliest names such as Princess of Snacks and King of Junk Food. Little by little, my face lit up and the flowers reminded me of the bright colors in my baby sister’s room. “Is she awake ” I wondered.

Dear classmates,
Now many Senior Three students have trouble managing time properly. Some waste lots of time playing with phones, while others arrange study tasks unreasonably and always stay up late.
Here are my suggestions. First, make a daily timetable to balance different subjects. Second, stay away from digital devices while studying. Last but not least, finish daily tasks on time instead of putting them off.
That’s all. Thank you for listening.

Suddenly, I saw my parents walking towards me along the road. They held Rosa carefully in mum’s arms, carrying a picnic basket full of snacks. Dad waved at me warmly, and mum smiled and told me Rosa kept talking about me on the way. I walked up to them gently and looked at my little sister’s soft face. All my jealousy faded away at once. We spread a cloth on the grass and enjoyed a sweet picnic together.
After the picnic, we went to pick some flowers. I chose a bunch of bright colourful flowers for Rosa, imagining how lovely they would look beside her bed. Dad helped me make a delicate flower chain just like we did in my childhood. On the way home, I held Rosa’s small hand and promised to share my toys and my room with her. I finally understood that having a sister meant gaining another precious family member.
