Many towns and cities along the Blues Trail have planned festivals, exhibitions and live music to mark the 100th birthday of Riley B. King, better known as B.B. King, who won 15 Grammy Awards and died in 2015. He is credited by many for helping to bring the blues to a global stage. Here are 4 spots along the Blues Trail where visitors can celebrate B.B. King and the music he made famous:
Jackson, Mississippi
Jackson hosted the kick-off of the centennial (百年的) celebration of B.B. King’s birth in January, and it will conclude the festivities with the Legacies of Empowerment programme at the National Folk Festival from 7-9 November. The event features a mini-exhibition of King’s original scripts, arts and food honoring the cultural and social contributions of both King and civil rights activist Medgar Evers, a fellow Mississippian who would also have turned 100 this year.
Indianola, Mississippi
From 9-14 November, the B.B. King Museum is hosting an extensive birthday programme that includes an exhibition on his music training experience, a parade, and a concert at Club Ebony where King first performed, complete with a hologram (全息图) experience of King playing alongside live musicians.
Clarksdale, Mississippi
Visitors can see one of King’s famous Gibson guitars, which he named Lucille, at the Delta Blues Museum, and watch interviews with musicians who played with King. Music lovers should also visit the Ground Zero Blues Club to see modern blues musicians carry on the tradition any night of the week.
Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis is marking the centennial with themed tours, exhibitions and events, including a special display of rarely seen photos of King and other blues legends at the Withers Museum & Gallery; and a special Mojo Music Tour which takes guests to blues-related attractions and sites. Perhaps the most anticipated event is the Beale Street Birthday Bash on 14 September, a night of music on the legendary street.
20. What does the celebration in Jackson, Mississippi end with?
A memorial ceremony for Medgar Evers.
B. A mini-exhibition of King’s favorite foods.
C. The Legacies of Empowerment programme.
D. The centennial celebration of B.B. King’s birth.

23.What do the four celebrations have in common?
A. They last a week. B. They hold a parade.
C. They include an exhibition. D. They offer a themed tour.
B
Nowadays, people lay everything to heredity (遗传); that is, we receive our special talents from our ancestors. I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them.
My mother’s parents did not care in the least about insects. The only attention my grandfather paid to an insect was to crush it under his foot. My illiterate (不识字的) grandmother would throw away a caterpillar in fright. My own parents did not inspire this love. My mother was illiterate; my father, slightly educated, was too busy for encouragement.
Yet I began to observe as a baby. One day, standing on the grassland, I was fascinated by the sun. A question possessed me: did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes? I opened my mouth and closed my eyes: glory disappeared. I opened my eyes and shut my mouth: glory returned. I saw with my eyes! Oh, what a discovery! At home, my grandmother smiled; the others laughed.
At nightfall, a faint jingle from the bushes attracted me. Who is making that noise? They spoke of a wolf, but I had to look. After a stubborn watch, I caught the singer—a grasshopper (蚂蚱)! I now knew, from personal observation, that the grasshopper sings. I did not tell them my discovery, for fear of the same laughter.
Later, I went to school. The room served every purpose: school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself, fueled by the country school’s continuous offerings—from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields.
Thus, in this chaos, the future observer taught himself.
24.What does the author intend to convey by telling his family story?
A. The hardship of rural life. B. His natural passion for insects.
C. His early education background. D. The influence of his family on him.
25.How did the author’s family react to his discovery about the sunlight?
A. They rejected it. B. They questioned it.
C. They brushed it aside. D. They approved of it.
26.What does the description of the school mainly suggest?
A. The lively classes attracted animals.
B. The students lacked interest in learning.
C. The animals became a threat to students.
D. The environment presented barriers to learning.
27.What was the author like as a boy?
A. Inquiring. B. Encouraging. C. Troublesome. D. Ambitious.
C
Dark chocolate, mainly solid cocoa, is widely believed to be a healthier treat, often credited with benefits like lowering blood pressure and boosting brainpower. These claims are largely linked to flavanols (黄烷醇), compounds abundant in cocoa. However, a closer look at the scientific evidence suggests that we should be careful about eating dark chocolate.
While some short-term studies, frequently funded by chocolate companies, suggested potential advantages, their results have been inconsistent. More importantly, they are too brief to reveal the long-term effects of regular consumption. Observational studies, which simply note correlations (相关性), found that people who eat more dark chocolate tend to be healthier. But this could be because they often have higher incomes and better overall lifestyles, not because of the chocolate itself.
To settle the debate, a big randomized experiment was conducted. It involved older adults who took daily cocoa-flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were clear: the flavanols made no significant difference to the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. There was one positive note—a reduction in cardiovascular (心血管的) deaths—but this single outcome is not solid proof of benefit.
Crucially, obtaining a high share of flavanols from commercial dark chocolate introduces serious disadvantages. To counter cocoa’s bitterness, manufacturers add large amounts of sugar. It means a person would also consume a substantial portion of the daily recommended limit of fat, which is known to raise cholesterol (胆固醇) and harm heart health. A far healthier way to get flavanols is from foods like apples, nuts, strawberries, or green tea.
Ultimately, the celebrated health benefits of dark chocolate appear to be rooted more in marketing and wishful thinking than in robust science. While enjoying it as an occasional treat is fine, relying on it as a health food is misguided. True wellness comes from a balanced diet rich in various fruits, vegetables, and beans—not from a single, sugary treat.
28.What is a common belief about dark chocolate?
A. It has inconsistent benefits. B. Its benefits come at a high cost.
C. It contributes to physical health. D. Its advantages rely on long-term intake.
29.What is a result of taking in flavanols from dark chocolate?
A. Faster fat burning. B. Resistance to cholesterol.
C. Reduction of cancer risks. D. Increase in sugar consumption.
30.What does the underlined word “robust” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Basic. B. Solid. C. Advanced. D. Emerging.
31.Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate
B. A Guide to Choosing Healthy Chocolate
C. The Impact of Flavanols on Your Health
D. Marketing vs. Science in the Food Industry
D
You had to be really unlucky to be on the China National Highway 110 on August 14, 2025. One of the longest traffic jams on record, trapping thousands of vehicles over more than 100 kilometers and lasting more than 10 days. Would it make you impatient? I strongly suspect that even the calmest would answer with a resounding “yes”! And yet philosophers and poets alike sell patience as a “virtue”, implying that having it is always a good thing. To me, it’s far more useful to think about patience as something we do rather than something we have.
Consider first what it means to be impatient. We all know the feeling: fingers drumming the table, leg bouncing. But why does this frustrating feeling arise? Most emotion researchers take it as a functionalist perspective. Our mind and body are trying to tell us to get moving, to find a way to bring the unpleasant delay to an end.
In a series of recent studies with more than 1,400 participants, we found that people were more impatient when the thing they were waiting for was very appealing — and when the wait itself was unappealing. Being delayed for something you hate, such as an unpleasant work event, is easier than a similar delay for a much-anticipated performance by your favorite band.
If impatience is an emotion, what is patience? In technical terms, it’s a form of emotion regulation like reminding ourselves that the scary movie isn’t real. When we start to feel impatient, we can let that feeling rage — or we can regulate it. Are you waiting weeks to find out if you have got that job? Dive into your favorite hobby to distract yourself for a few hours.
There’s still a lot we don’t know about patience, including why some people seem to find it easier than others and how we can get better at it. Fortunately, those are simpler questions to answer when we reduce the challenge from virtue acquisition to emotion regulation.
Ultimately, it may seem like a sharp contrast to poetic descriptions of virtue, but I’ll take practical wisdom over virtue any day.
32. What is the author’s attitude to people’s impatience in traffic jams on the National Highway 110?
A. Understanding. B. Dismissive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
33.According to the text, which of the following situations would make people the most impatient?
A. Being stuck in a traffic jam in a comfortable car.
B. Being delayed by bad weather on the way to work.
C. Waiting for an important but unpleasant work meeting.
D. Waiting in a long queue for an expected football game.
34.The author views patience as ______.
A. an acquired virtue B. a born personality
C. a form of releasing emotion D. a behavior of regulating emotion
35.What is the purpose of the text?
A. To justify a virtue. B. To redefine patience.
C. To introduce strategies. D. To identify impatience.

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。
After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every excuse from students trying to get a better grade. But recently I heard a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” 36 In the past, students understood it and they knew ‘A’ required great work. Yet today, Generation Z expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades.
37 It’s the result of a misunderstanding about one popular educational theory. Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort helps form a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. 38 We’ve gone from praising effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind them that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. What counts is not mere effort but the progress and result.
The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. 39 Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times, it’s working on something else altogether. Devotion is just one of the many contributing factors to achievement. Ability, opportunity and luck count, too.
Now in my classes, students are assessed on the quality of their written essays, class participation, group presentations and final papers or exams. I make it clear that ‘A’ is not granted for effort itself; it is earned through mastery of knowledge. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. 40
A. Teachers are to blame.
B. It is to ask how to improve.
C. This isn’t Generation Z’s fault.
D. ‘B’ may not fully reflect your dedication.
E. It’s the knowledge and skills you acquire.
F. High marks are for excellence, not perseverance.
G. But we’ve taken the practice of celebrating diligence too far.

It was late afternoon that day, yet still hot. While I was driving north, I saw an elderly woman with groceries 41 southward, obviously in need of help. I felt guilty for not stopping.

第二节（满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mr. Hopkins’ bookstore was a quiet island in the noisy stream of the modern city. For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing.
The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces.
The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business.
Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.”
On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong.
Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右；

Version one
Dear Peter,
I’m thrilled to hear you’re interested in being a volunteer. Between the two choices, I strongly suggest signing up for the cross-country running volunteer team.
For one thing, the event takes place along the suburban trails. It’s ideal for an exchange student to immerse themselves in natural surroundings. For another, as a volunteer, you’ll help with checkpoint guidance, water supply, and participant support. I believe you will make friends with those who share your passion for sports. Above all, the energetic atmosphere will give you a taste of local sports culture.
Volunteering for the cross-country running event is definitely a perfect way to enrich your exchange life! Looking forward to hearing your decision!
Yours, Li Hua
Version two
Dear Peter,
I’m thrilled to hear you’re interested in being a volunteer. Between the two choices, I strongly suggest signing up for the calligraphy competition volunteer program!
For one thing, you’ll help hand out rice paper, brushes and ink, which enables you to observe the beauty of traditional Chinese brushwork. For another, as you stand by the contestants to assist them, you’ll naturally pick up some basic skills. Above all, the judges will comment on the works, allowing you to have a glimpse into how to appreciate this form of Chinese culture.
Volunteering for the calligraphy competition is definitely a perfect way to enrich your exchange life! Looking forward to hearing your decision!
Yours, Li Hua
He couldn’t let this happen-not without trying to make his voice heard. As Sarah flipped through the contract, David gripped The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, stepping forward with courage. “Ms. Chen, may I show you something?” He laid out a bookmark, and faded photos- tangible threads of the neighborhood’s memories. “This store isn’t just wood and shelves: here I learned to dream, Mrs. Henderson reads to kids weekly, and Mr. Hopkins found my first poetry book.” His eyes glistened as children glanced from the corner, clutching books. “It’s a living legacy, not just profit.” Sarah’s pen froze, her gaze softening and hesitation flickering across her face.
A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a cafe in one project, and the construction began. Workers handled the store with utmost care crafting a cozy cafe bar bathed in warm light. David volunteered diligently, sorting books and hanging lights that cast gentle glows on pages. When the doors reopened, joy filled the air: kids stretched on cushions reading, and elders chatted over the bar. Mr. Hopkins smiled by the door as the store breathed new life- no longer just a book lovers’ shelter, but a vibrant harbour where memories endured and new stories unfolded.
