二、閱讀理解
Situated around 40 kilometers northeast of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, the Sanxingdui Museum stands as a premier cultural landmark in southwest China. Regarded as “the origin of the Yangtze River civilization,” it offers a fascinating journey into China’s ancient past through its extensive collection of relics.
Historical Significance
The name “Sanxingdui,” meaning “Three Star Mounds,” refers to the site’s distinctive earth mounds, remains of an ancient wall. In 1986, the discovery of two sacrificial pits (祭祀坑) here revolutionized archaeology. These pits unearthed a previously unknown Shang Dynasty (1600–1046 BC) city and civilization, disproving the belief that the Shang civilization in northern China was the only Bronze-age civilization in the country.
Exhibits Highlights
The museum’s exhibits, mainly from the Bronze Age, are truly captivating. Among them, the bronze masks with exaggerated eyes and ears, superbly carved jade articles, and delicate gold objects stand out. The world’s oldest life-size standing human statue, towering at 260 centimeters and weighing 180 kilograms, is a masterpiece, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of ancient artisans.
Museum Features
The museum’s spiral (螺旋式的) architectural design allows visitors to climb up through its halls, providing a seamless exploration experience. Divided into two galleries, Gallery One displays a diverse range of artifacts, while Gallery Two focuses on complicated bronze sculptures. Additionally, the four themed halls cover the civilization’s history, religion, national treasures, and archaeological research.
Tour Options
Several tour packages are available to explore the museum. The 1-Day Chengdu Tour combines a visit to see giant pandas with a trip to Sanxingdui. For more in-depth exploration, 3-Day and 5-Day tours that include the Giant Buddha, ancient towns, and Mount Emei are also offered. Private tours can be customized upon request.
21．What do we know about the 1986 discovery at Sanxingdui
A．It proved Shang culture’s wide spread.
B．It presented a new Bronze-age civilization.
C．It made Shang Dynasty known to the public.
D．It showcased two most important archaeological sites.
22．What can people do in the museum
A．Attend an architectural exhibition.
B．Appreciate distinct bronze articles.
C．Learn the craftsmanship from artisans.
D．Explore its role in archaeological research.
23．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A travel guide. B．A history textbook.
C．An academic journal. D．A science magazine.
My son, who is 9, shared his homework with me and asked, “Am I done ”
I looked at it and smiled. He’d answered every one of the questions. The answers were pretty short, but they would have been just fine. I considered congratulating him for finishing and leaving it at that.
That would be the easy road, and it would reassure him that he had followed the written directions and had, in fact, completed an assignment. If I’d done that, though, I wouldn’t have been doing my homework as a dad. Because what I perceived that my son was really asking wasn’t so much whether he had left any blanks, but whether homework required anything more of him than that.
“You’re done if you think that the answers you wrote are the best answers you can possibly write,” I said. “If that’s true, you’re set.” He looked at the homework, then looked at me. I tried not to look judgmental. The answers he’d written were good. But that wasn’t the point. The point was whether they were his best effort.
He smiled and shook his head. “I could make it better.” He took back the paper. The edit didn’t take more than fifteen minutes or so, but the work was, indeed, better. And my son looked proud of putting more into it.
“Your teacher will appreciate you trying as hard as you can,” I told him.
There’s a lesson here for all of us — myself included. Among the immeasurable and extraordinary traits that human beings possess is an inherent capacity to resonate (產(chǎn)生共鳴) with quality and excellence. People may not even know exactly why they are drawn to a particular work of art or a business plan or a professional sports team. But one of the ingredients we humans can assess is that mysterious, immeasurable, miraculous (奇跡般的) element of love for one’s work and oneself and one’s audience or customer. We know inherently, instinctively whether it is present in a person and that person’s creations and work product — or not.
24．What was the author’s reaction to his son’s homework
A．He pointed out ways for improvement.
B．He asked whether it was the best effort.
C．He congratulated his son for finishing it.
D．He praised the work but required his son to revise.
25．What did the boy do after getting his father’s response
A．He improved his homework. B．He asked for help.
C．He handed in the homework. D．He argued about the answers.
26．According to the text, why are people attracted to certain works
A．They present creativity. B．They are visually appealing.
C．They have immeasurable ingredients. D．They reflect genuine effort and care.
27．Which of the following might the author agree with
A．Strict parenting is crucial for children’s success.
B．Children’s pride in work comes from parental praise.
C．Excellence lies in the willingness to go beyond the minimum.
D．Quality in work is something that cannot be taught or learned.
Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones(無人機(jī))like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling. Together, these advancements promise to make fruit production more efficient and precise, though one is a proven solution and the other is a glimpse into farming’s future.
Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards(果園), identifying and picking only the fruit that has reached peak ripeness. Their ability to weave carefully around branches allows them to harvest without bruising or harming the trees. Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently.
Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently.
Beyond picking, these robots also detect diseases and track the location of each fruit bin, providing farmers with valuable insights to manage their crops better.
While Tevel’s drones tackle harvesting, UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper remains in the experimental stage as a solution for post-harvest handling. Inspired by steel measuring tapes, this prototype(原型)uses layered “fingers” to grasp delicate fruits gently. Early tests show promise in handling objects like lemons and tomatoes without damage, but it has yet to be widely adopted in farming.
The gripper’s motorized reels(卷軸)allow its tape-based fingers to extend and convey items like a conveyor belt. Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters.
Tevel’s drones are already transforming orchards, while the GRIP-tape gripper offers a vision of how delicate produce handling could evolve. The combination of real-world automation and experimental robotics highlights both the immediate benefits and long-term potential of agritech innovation.
28．What do we know about FARs
A．They can work around the clock. B．They can identify different fruits.
C．They redefine the artificial intelligence. D．They perform as efficiently as human workers.
29．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The real-time data collected by mobile apps.
B．The attitude of the farmers to Tevel’s drones.
C．The advantages of Tevel’s drones for farmers.
D．The working process of multiple drones in orchards.
30．What can be inferred about UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper
A．It is inspired by human fingers. B．It is widely adopted in farming.
C．It tackles the harvesting process. D．It is cost-effective but still in progress.
31．What’s the writing purpose of this text
A．To promote the use of robotics in farming.
B．To compare two cutting-edge farming tools.
C．To emphasize the long-term potential of drones.
D．To introduce two innovative agricultural technologies.
Having a furry friend can add fun and companionship for anyone — but for children with autism (自閉癥), it can be life-changing. A recent study from the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine evaluated the impact of service dogs on autistic children and their caregivers in 75 families.
Working with nonprofit service dog provider Canine Companions, the researchers found that having a service dog was associated with “significantly better child sleep behaviors,” including less sleep anxiety and better sleep initiation and duration.
Lead researcher Dr. Maggie O’Haire said the research was sparked by the growing number of programs that pair service dogs with autistic children. Children were able to sleep in their room more independently when the dog was present, the researchers found.
Families also reported experiencing less judgment and making more positive social connections when out in public with a service dog. Amanda Harpell-Franz shared that her son, Evan, who has autism, has also enjoyed the many benefits of having a service dog. She spoke of the “huge difference” that Kalvin — a Labrador and golden retriever mix — has made for her son and his relationships. Evan has also slept better since receiving his own service dog. Kalvin sleeps next to him every night, the physical pressure helping the boy get better rest. Since Kalvin joined their family, Harpell-Franz said Evan has been attending school and extracurricular activities consistently and without struggle. Kalvin also takes some of the attention off Evan in social spaces, she added, which can mitigate social pressure.
Theadora Block, research program manager at Canine Companions in California, said dogs are specially trained to calm and protect their owners and are placed to suit a family’s specific needs. The dogs — which are mostly Labradors, golden retrievers or a combination — are “gentle, really stable, love interacting with humans, and genuinely love doing their jobs,” she said.
As the wait for service dog placement can sometimes be up to two years, Block encouraged people to sign up if there is any interest for the future.
32．What did the recent study focus on
A．The bond between service dogs and humans.
B．The role of service dogs for children with autism.
C．The training methods of service dogs for autistic children.
D．The relationship between sleep quality and autism severity.
33．What may service dogs do according to Evan’s experience
A．Gain more attention from strangers.
B．Remove social judgment toward autism.
C．Help autistic children engage in daily life.
D．Improve autistic children’s academic performance.
34．What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Increase. B．Avoid. C．Generate. D．Relieve.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Service Dogs: Improve Children’s Sleep Quality
B．Family Pets: The Unseen Benefits for Special Needs Kids
C．Canine Companions: Transforming Lives of Autistic Children
D．Service Dog Kalvin: A Heartwarming Story of Companionship
Dealing with Uncertainty
Life is inherently filled with uncertainty, a reality that frequently triggers stress and anxiety within us. From far-reaching global events to personal life decisions, the unpredictability of the future spreads through every aspect of our existence. People vary in their ability to tolerate uncertainty. 36 Here are some effective strategies to manage life’s uncertainties.
Take action over the things you can control.
Many aspects of life are beyond our control. 37 If you’re worried about job security, you can’t control the company’s decisions, but you can update your resume and expand your professional network. Shifting focus to these controllable elements helps turn worry into problem-solving.
Focus on the present.
Most uncertainty-related stress comes from future-related worries. 38 When you feel worried, try to pay attention to your surroundings, your breathing, or the task at hand. It takes practice, but it can reduce anxiety.
39
We often do things like constantly asking for reassurance or micromanaging to avoid uncertainty. But life is full of surprises. Striving for certainty all the time just makes us more worried. Instead we should realize uncertainty can also bring good things.
Learn to accept uncertainty.
We accept uncertainty daily, like when we travel by car. To be more accepting, figure out what makes you feel uncertain, such as scary news or pessimistic friends. Notice when you’re craving certainty. Let yourself feel the discomfort of not knowing. 40
Uncertainty is an inescapable part of life. By taking control where we can, embracing the unknown, and caring for our well-being, we can navigate life’s uncertainties with more calm and confidence.
A．Adopt some helpful behaviors.
B．Challenge your need for certainty.
C．Mindfulness helps us focus on the here and now.
D．However, there’s always something we can manage.
E．When it becomes too much to bear, steps are essential.
F．Experiencing uncertainty in this way can reduce stress.
G．This way you’ll get used to uncertainty as a normal part of life.

Europe’s new artificial intelligence-powered weather forecasting model became operational on Tuesday, 56 (promise) to significantly improve meteorological and extreme weather predictions globally.
The Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) is the first 57 (full) operational weather prediction open model using machine learning technology, and will run side by side with 58 (it) traditional physics-based counterpart（對應(yīng)版本）— the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), the European
Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) said in a press release on Tuesday.
AIFS’ forecast builds upon the same combination of data that the IFS 59 (feed) on. This data comes from satellites, planes, boats, 60 other Earth-based measurement stations.
What distinguishes 61 two models, however, is that the new machine learning model assesses how these initial conditions will influence future weather 62 (base) on its knowledge of how the weather has evolved in the past. IFS calculations, in contrast, rely on the laws of physics, 63 it integrates in its computer code.
“We see the AIFS and IFS 64 complementary（互補(bǔ)的）, and part of providing a range of products to our user community, who decide what best suits their needs,” said ECMWF’s Director of Forecasts and Services, Florian Pappenberger.
Europe’s weather forecasts are currently 65 (rely) up to six to seven days ahead for precipitation（降水）and wind, and up to 14 or 15 days ahead for temperature, Pappenberger told the Financial Times.

She pulled back on the ropes, making the homemade swing (秋千) fly higher and closer to the leafy branches of the tall tree. The wind blew cool against her cheeks. She was five years old, and, at that moment, being mad at her eleven-year-old brother, David.
“How could he have been so mean ” she asked herself, remembering how he had made a face and called her a “big baby” at the breakfast table. “He hates me,” she thought, “just because I took the last cake out from under his nose. He hates me!”
The swing carried her up so high that she could see for miles. It was fun looking down at the farmyard below. Her red sweater flashed brightly in the morning sunlight. She stopped thinking about being mad at her brother and started to sing a swinging song.
On a distant hill behind the swing, a huge bull (公牛) with long, sharp horns (角) and big, heavy hooves (牛蹄) watched the red sweater flashing in the sunlight. The bull had broken out of his grassland. He was in a bad mood and ready to rush at anything that moved. Then he lowered his massive head and began moving across the field toward the red sweater he saw swinging back and forth beneath the tall tree.
Meanwhile, David was in the barnyard (倉院), feeding the chickens. He looked out and saw his little sister on the swing. “Sisters are a pain in the neck,” he thought. Then suddenly he saw the bull rushing across the field, heading straight for his sister. Without a second thought, David screamed as loudly as he could, “Look out behind you! Get out of there! Run!”注意：

67． His sister didn’t hear him. She just kept singing and swinging. The bull was halfway across the field and closing in fast. David’s heart pounded. It was now or never. He ran across the chicken yard, jumped over the fence and dashed toward his sister. He ran faster than he had ever run before. Catching one of the ropes, David made the swing stop and pulled his sister sideways to the ground.
Then the bull rushed at the place where his sister had been. The little girl let out a terrified cry. The bull stopped, still making deep sounds. Then it faced the siblings and lowered its head to launch another attack. Seeing this, David quickly pulled off his sister’s sweater and threw it as far away as possible. The bull followed it. As the bull was tearing the sweater into pieces, David half-dragged and half-carried his sister to safety. After Mary calmed down, she thanked her brother for rescuing her. From that day on, Mary just laughed every time David called her a ‘big baby’.
