閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中, 選出最佳選項。
A
Sichuan, a province celebrated for its diverse landscapes and profound cultural roots, offers more than just its iconic landmarks. Beyond the bustling tourist trails lie lesser-known treasures that cater to adventurers, history buffs, and nature enthusiasts alike. These hidden gems, with their unique charm and authentic experiences, promise unforgettable journeys. Here are three such destinations waiting to be explored:
Daocheng Yading
Nestled in the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, this remote plateau scenic area is called “the last pure land on Earth.” Its snow-capped peaks (including the 6,032-meter Mt. Chenrezig), turquoise lakes, and alpine meadows draw adventurers. Note that altitude sickness is common — visitors are advised to rest for a day in Daocheng County before heading up. The best months are May to June (wildflowers) and September to October (golden forests). Entrance: 146 (peak season), 120 (off-season). Open 7:00 a.m. — 5:30 p.m.
Leshan Giant Buddha
Carved into a cliff along the Min River, this 71-meter-tall statue is the world’s largest stone Buddha, built over 90 years during the Tang Dynasty. Unlike mountain hikes, it’s accessible via riverside paths and boat tours ( 70 extra). Avoid summer crowds — spring (March — April) or autumn (October — November) is better. Tickets: 80 (adults), free for kids under 1.2m. Opens 8:00 a.m. — 6:30 p.m. (April — October); 8:30 a.m. — 5:30 p.m. (November — March).
Langzhong Ancient Town
One of China’s four best-preserved ancient towns, Langzhong in Nanchong dates back 2,300 years. Its well-preserved city walls, traditional courtyards, and annual Spring Festival lantern shows (featuring 10,000+ lanterns) attract culture lovers. Unlike natural sites, it’s enjoyable year-round, though winter can be chilly. A combined ticket for key attractions (Zhang Fei Temple, Ancient Well Museum) costs 110. Most sites open 8:30 a.m. — 5:00 p.m., but night tours of the lantern-lit streets run until 10:00 p.m.
21．What should visitors prepare for when going to Daocheng Yading
A．Boat tours.
B．Altitude adaptation.
C．Lantern show tickets.
D．Warm clothing.
22．Which season is recommended for visiting both Leshan Giant Buddha and Daocheng Yading
A．March — April.
B．May — June.
C．September — October.
D．December — February.
23．What makes Langzhong Ancient Town different from the other two attractions
A．It has historical buildings.
B．It requires a combined ticket.
C．It’s suitable for year-round visits.
D．It features natural scenery.
B
Lately, I have found myself rarely paying close attention to trends, watching fashion shows or following fashion influencers. I love looking at everyone’s unique style, and believe that fashion of personal taste is one of the best ways to express ourselves. The findings astonish me. My attitude and behavior have undergone a transformation that I once wanted but lacked the courage to pursue without me realizing.
The media we consume, and the people we’re around affect how we dress and express ourselves. When I was in high school, I was afraid to wear the clothes I wanted. When I wore an item that seemed normal for a girl like me but was considered strange by my classmates—a bright purple dress—people laughed at me in the hall. I remember putting it into the back of my closet (衣柜) and never wearing it again.
Now, I don’t care as much; I like trying almost all kinds of style. Actually it’s because I’m in college now, and college students have more important things to pay attention to than what someone else wears, but I finally feel I can dress in the way I want and express myself. I take fashion inspiration from my favorite colors and cartoons.
The self-expression brings me more reflection and I’m not going to change myself for anyone. Everyone can follow their heart and develop their own style, and they should be able to do so freely. When I go outside wearing what I like to wear, I feel confident and more like myself. I no longer feel like I’m wearing clothes that will make me blend in with (協調) the crowd. Blending in with the crowd that way is meaningless.
24．Why is the author surprised
A．She changes unknowingly.
B．Fashion trends become diverse.
C．People have their own style.
D．Her focus of interest is different.
25．What does the author aim to show in paragraph 2
A．It’s hard to insist on our decision.
B．Dignity is linked with what people wear.
C．Views of the majority can be wrong.
D．People may be pressured to satisfy others.
26．What makes the author start to worry less about her wear now
A．Her desire to express herself.
B．The shift in students’ concerns.
C．Her acceptance of various types.
D．The awakening of self-awareness.
27．What will the author do later
A．Pursue more unique style.
B．Value inspiration from favorites.
C．Stick to her inner voice.
D．Avoid meaningless interaction.

Nanoplastics, even tinier than their better-known microplastic cousins, have emerged as a stealthy and pervasive environmental threat. These minuscule particles — measuring less than 1 micrometer in size — have infiltrated the most remote corners of the planet. They’ve been detected in the icy cores of the Arctic, embedded in the soil of ancient rainforests, swirling in the mist of mountain peaks, and even present in the umbilical cord blood of newborns, hinting at their ability to breach the most fundamental barriers of human biology.
Now, a groundbreaking study published in Environmental Science Advances offers a glimmer of hope in the fight against these elusive pollutants. Researchers from a multinational team discovered that a specific combination of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and a natural clay-based filter could potentially reduce nanoplastics in drinking water by a significant margin. In controlled laboratory tests, exposing water contaminated with nanoplastics to UV light for 15 minutes, followed by filtration through a montmorillonite clay filter, resulted in the removal of at least 75 percent of certain nanoplastics.
Crucially, the effectiveness of this method hinged on multiple factors. The pH level of the water played a vital role — alkaline conditions enhanced the binding of nanoplastics to the clay particles, while acidic environments weakened it. Additionally, the study was limited in scope: it focused only on three prevalent types of nanoplastics — polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene terephthalate — and did not account for the complex chemical interactions with other contaminants commonly found in real-world water sources, such as heavy metals and pesticides.
Still, the findings underscore the urgency of addressing the nanoplastic crisis — a problem that’s growing more complex by the day. Earlier this year, independent studies revealed that nanoplastic concentrations in bottled water brands, previously thought to be a safer alternative, were up to 500 times higher than initial estimates. This suggests that even seemingly pristine water sources are not immune to nanoplastic contamination.
Scientists remain uncertain about the full extent of nanoplastic toxicity, but early research points to alarming possibilities. These particles, due to their small size, can penetrate cell membranes, potentially disrupting cellular functions and triggering inflammatory responses. The new study’s authors emphasize that while their method shows promise, it’s just one piece of the puzzle. “The way we demonstrated the interaction between UV, clay, and nanoplastics provides a foundation,” says Dr. Elena Vazquez, an environmental chemist at the lead institution of the study. “But we need to scale up these solutions and integrate them into existing water treatment infrastructures to truly make a difference.”
28．How does the author introduce the issue of nanoplastics in the first paragraph
A．By citing an expert’s opinion.
B．By defining the key concept.
C．By listing widespread examples.
D．By presenting statistical data.
29．What is a decisive factor affecting the removal of nanoplastics in the study
A．The intensity of UV radiation.
B．The pH level of the water.
C．The thickness of the clay filter.
D．The temperature of the water.
30．Why does the author mention bottled water in paragraph 4
A．To highlight the importance of plastic reduction.
B．To illustrate the severity of the nanoplastic problem.
C．To promote the use of alternative water sources.
D．To emphasize the difficulty of water treatment.
31．What does Dr. Elena Vazquez suggest regarding the study’s findings
A．Developing new research techniques.
B．Expanding the scope of the current study.
C．Incorporating the method into water treatment systems.
D．Involving more international researchers.
D
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity.
The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆聲).
The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
32．How does the AI predict seismic events
A．It identifies data from the satellites.
B．It analyzes background sounds in the Earth.
C．It models data based on earthquake recordings.
D．It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
33．What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3
A．The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B．The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C．The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D．The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction.
34．What does the subsequent research focus on
A．Conducting tests in different locations.
B．Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C．Building more earthquake stations in Texas.
D．Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.
35．Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A．Stable but outdated.
B．Effective but costly.
C．Potential and economical.
D．Pioneering and promising.

Cheerfulness is a powerful way to deal with a world that will always be tough and unjust in one way or another. It is a sign of strength in the face of difficulties. Different from fear, joy, or anger, cheerfulness isn’t something that overcomes you. 36． As such, you can include it into your life once you make the right mental switch. Here are four ways to do so.
◎Acknowledge the difficulties.
Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you’re not hiding from reality. 37． Instead, it’s extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you’re facing. Only by first acknowledging that things are tough will you be able to find ways to cope.
◎Don’t focus on the negative.
Whether in your personal life or in society, it’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong. But whatever you focus on, it grows. If you decide to focus on what’s going wrong, those problems will grow in your mind until they consume you. 38． .
◎Be grateful for what you have.
39． Usually, they’re the things we take for granted until they’re no longer there, such as good health, a loving family, or even something as simple as a beautiful sunrise. Being grateful will shift your perspective and make it easier to see the silver linings of your problems.
◎40． .
No cheerfulness without laughter. So you can watch comedies, browse memes, or joke around with friends. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts your mood, makes you feel less pain, and protects you from stress. Laughter is cathartic (精神宣泄的) and infectious. Laugh and brighten the room.
A．Find your sense of humor.
B．Deal with difficulties seriously.
C．Focus on the good things you have.
D．To a large degree, cheerfulness is a choice.
E．You’re not covering your eyes and looking away.
F．Acknowledge the problems, but don’t give them too much attention.
G．Being cheerful will make you see the world and your own life in a different way.

Mathilde Loisel, a pretty woman born into a family of clerks, 41 of a life of luxury — fine dinners served on silver plates, elegant clothes that flowed like water, and jewels that sparkled in the candlelight. Yet her husband, a low-ranking clerk in the ministry, could never 42 such dreams, no matter how hard he worked.
One evening, when he brought home an invitation to the palace ball, Mathilde threw it aside with a bitter smile, 43 : “What use is this to me I have no dress to wear.” Though her husband parted with his savings to purchase a new gown, she still found fault, 44 : “I’ll look foolish without jewels to match.”
Her husband, hesitating for a moment, suggested borrowing something from her friend Madame Forestier. Mathilde rushed to the house, where Madame Forestier, after a brief chat about the ball, 45 opened her jewelry box and said, “Choose whatever you like, my dear.”
Mathilde’s eyes 46 on a diamond necklace whose stones shone like stars caught in a net. “Could I possibly borrow this one ” she asked, her voice trembling 47 .
“Of course,” Madame Forestier replied, closing the box with a soft click.
At the ball, Mathilde was the 48 of every gaze: men crowded around to ask her to dance, while women whispered behind their fans, their eyes filled with longing as they 49 her beauty. She danced until dawn, so caught up in the joy that she forgot the shabby little apartment and the 50 life that waited for her there.
As midnight chimed, she hurried away with her husband, and when they finally reached their rooms, she let out a 51 that echoed through the building—for the necklace was gone.
Her husband searched every corner of the street they had walked, retracing their steps until dawn, but the necklace was 52 . They had no choice but to replace it, and for ten long years, they slaved away at odd jobs, their hands calloused from 53 work, their faces lined with exhaustion, until the debt was finally paid.
One spring afternoon, as she walked through the park, Mathilde met Madame Forestier, who stared at her in confusion before recognizing her. “I’ve lived a life of hardship all because of that necklace,” Mathilde said, her voice heavy with bitterness.
Madame Forestier’s eyes widened in shock. “But my dear, that necklace was only a 54 —it cost no more than five hundred francs!”
Mathilde stood frozen, feeling as if the ground had 55 beneath her, leaving her suspended in a void of disbelief.

It is the last day of fourth grade. Outside of my classroom I fearfully opened the envelope that held my academic report card. “Please, I just want to pass.” I prayed in my heart. “Promoted to fifth grade,” the report read. I was letting out a loud sigh of relief when my eyes went to the words on the bottom. “Teacher: Mrs. Walitt.”
“What ” I looked closer, certain I’d misread, but now the name seemed to jump off the page in 3D. This wasn’t possible. Mrs. Walitt taught first grade. My one comfort about school was that this woman-literally my least favorite teacher on the planet-would never teach me. I was no favorite of hers either.
I was self-conscious about my stutter (口吃), and tried to make up for it by speaking and reading out loud. That past year I’d been frequently pulled from my regular class for special tutoring in a room shared with Mrs. Walitt’s first graders. One day early on, Mrs. Walitt called me out from across the room. “Quiet down,” she said. “You’re interrupting us.”
I instantly responded. “Oh, just leave me alone!” I said.
“You’d better be glad you’re not in my class, young man. I’d put you in your place.”
I’d been taught by my parents to respect my teachers. But all my frustration came pouring out of me. I said, “You will never be my teacher.” No matter how badly I did in school, I was sure I wouldn’t have to repeat first grade.
For the rest of the year, Mrs. Walitt and I didn’t have much communication.
Now Mrs. Walitt was having the last laugh. On the first day of fifth grade, I sat unhappy in the last row. “Welcome to fifth grade,” she announced once we were settled. “I expect students to come to school ready to learn...” She went on and on, talking about the orders. I felt quite bored.

Reservoir of liquid water found deep in Martian rocks
Humankind has developed so much that urban sprawl and intensive agriculture now
dominate our landscapes. Unfortunately, with that comes the threat of climate change
and a loss of biodiversity. What if we could return these landscapes to places that
teem with wildlife, with ecosystems thriving as they did centuries ago Since the
1980s, the concept of rewilding has increased in popularity. But what exactly is it, and
what are the keys to its success
Put simply, rewilding is a technique that returns landscapes to a wilder, more
natural state. It often involves reintroducing plants or animals that used to live there,
but now don’t. Not-for-profit organisation Rewilding Europe says rewilding is “about
letting nature take care of itself, enabling natural processes to shape land and sea,
repair damaged ecosystems and restore degraded landscapes.” So, unlike traditional
conservation techniques, the aim is to reduce the need for human intervention once
the programme has been set up.
In a 2021 article called ‘Guiding principles for rewilding’, one suggestion is to
introduce plants, prey animals, and fungi first, so that when the top predator is
introduced, they have an appropriate habitat to support them. Other tips are more
people focused. Even though rewilding is about reducing human presence in
ecosystems, that doesn’t mean we should be excluded from nature. The authors
encourage compassion and learning from nature, rather than dominating it. They also
say that, to avoid fear amongst rural communities that their farmland will be taken
away, and that new predators will endanger their livestock, local people should be
