阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Sichuan, a prvince celebrated fr its diverse landscapes and prfund cultural rts, ffers mre than just its icnic landmarks. Beynd the bustling turist trails lie lesser-knwn treasures that cater t adventurers, histry buffs, and nature enthusiasts alike. These hidden gems, with their unique charm and authentic experiences, prmise unfrgettable jurneys. Here are three such destinatins waiting t be explred:
Dacheng Yading
Nestled in the Ganzi Tibetan Autnmus Prefecture, this remte plateau scenic area is called “the last pure land n Earth.” Its snw-capped peaks (including the 6,032-meter Mt. Chenrezig), turquise lakes, and alpine meadws draw adventurers. Nte that altitude sickness is cmmn — visitrs are advised t rest fr a day in Dacheng Cunty befre heading up. The best mnths are May t June (wildflwers) and September t Octber (glden frests). Entrance: ¥146 (peak seasn), ¥120 (ff-seasn). Open 7:00 a.m. — 5:30 p.m.
Leshan Giant Buddha
Carved int a cliff alng the Min River, this 71-meter-tall statue is the wrld’s largest stne Buddha, built ver 90 years during the Tang Dynasty. Unlike muntain hikes, it’s accessible via riverside paths and bat turs (¥70 extra). Avid summer crwds — spring (March — April) r autumn (Octber — Nvember) is better. Tickets: ¥80 (adults), free fr kids under 1.2m. Opens 8:00 a.m. — 6:30 p.m. (April — Octber); 8:30 a.m. — 5:30 p.m. (Nvember — March).
Langzhng Ancient Twn
One f China’s fur best-preserved ancient twns, Langzhng in Nanchng dates back 2,300 years. Its well-preserved city walls, traditinal curtyards, and annual Spring Festival lantern shws (featuring 10,000+ lanterns) attract culture lvers. Unlike natural sites, it’s enjyable year-rund, thugh winter can be chilly. A cmbined ticket fr key attractins (Zhang Fei Temple, Ancient Well Museum) csts ¥110. Mst sites pen 8:30 a.m. — 5:00 p.m., but night turs f the lantern-lit streets run until 10:00 p.m.
21. What shuld visitrs prepare fr when ging t Dacheng Yading?
A. Bat tursB. Altitude adaptatin
C. Lantern shw ticketsD. Warm clthing
22. Which seasn is recmmended fr visiting bth Leshan Giant Buddha and Dacheng Yading?

C. It’s suitable fr year-rund visitsD. It features natural scenery
B
When Ma Jiancheng tk up his pst as a frest ranger (护林员) at Sidalng nature cnservatin statin in 1999, he knew the Qilian Muntains wuld be his lifelng hme. Fresh frm military service, he fllwed in his father’s ftsteps — a decisin rted in tw deep influences: his lve fr the muntains and his father’s 30-year dedicatin t prtecting them.
“My father rarely came hme, even fr Spring Festival, because f fire preventin duties,” Ma recalled. This sacrifice planted a seed in him: t safeguard the land his father venerated.
Life at 2,600 meters abve sea level prved harsher than expected. “N electricity, just kersene (煤油) lamps. Water came frm a river 800 meters away, and supplies arrived by truck nly three times a mnth,” he said. Once, he learned f his eldest daughter’s birth three days late — n phnes cnnected the statin t the utside.
Cvering 20,000 hectares, Ma’s team patrls 20 days mnthly, engaging in fire preventin, wildlife mnitring, and educating herders n regulatins. Over 26 years, his patrls ttaled 100,000 km—2.5 times arund Earth—filling 70 ntebks. “Shes wear ut fastest,” he jked, nting 80-km daily treks.
Dangers are cnstant: wlves, landslides, -30°C winters, and summer mudslides. Once, a mudslide destryed their statin; they sheltered in a sheep pen. Yet technlgy nw eases burdens — drnes and cameras mnitr remte areas.
Tragedy struck in 2008 when his wife died f lung cancer. He’d rushed dwn the muntain t late, after a herder relayed news f her emergency. “She asked me t care fr ur daughter,” he said, vice trembling.
Tday, his daughter studies landscape architecture, inspired by his wrk. “City life feels strange nw,” Ma said. “The muntains calm me —this is where I belng.”
24. What des the wrd “venerated” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. HnredB. NeglectedC. ExplitedD. Cncealed
25. Which f the fllwing is NOT a duty f Ma’s team?
A. Keeping recrds f patrlsB. Preventing grassland fires
C. Training herders t use drnesD. Mnitring wetland resurces
26.We can infer frm the passage that ________.
A. Ma’s wrk has eliminated wildlife dangers
B. the daughter’s career chice reflects family influence
C. mdern technlgy has replaced traditinal patrls
D. Ma’s wife supprted his career uncnditinally
27. The best title fr the passage wuld be ________.
A. A Legacy f Muntain PrtectinB. The Hardships f a Frest Ranger
C. Technlgical Advances in CnservatinD. Frm Military Service t Muntain Life
C
A study by the Barcelna Supercmputing Center (BSC) identifies climate change as the key driver behind unprecedented shrt-term fd price spikes, with cascading (连锁的) effects n inflatin, health, and scial stability. Published ahead f the UN Fd Systems Summit in Ethipia, it highlights hw extreme weather linked t emissins disrupts crps, triggering rapid price surges in staples.
Analyzing 50 glbal cases, the research fcuses n immediate impacts. In 2023-24, drught and extreme heat in cca giants Ghana and Côte d’Ivire pushed prices up 300%. India’s heatwave raised nin csts by 89%, while Suth Krea’s cabbage prices jumped 70% due t erratic (不稳定的) rainfall. Suthern Spain’s live il prices rse 50% after prlnged drught.
Lead authr Maximilian Ktz ntes: “These shcks are histrically unprecedented — temperatures far exceed pre-industrial nrms.” Such vlatility (波动性) is 3-5 times mre frequent than in the 1980s.
Develped ecnmies aren’t immune. The UK’s June 2024 inflatin hit 3.6% (abve the 3.4% frecast), driven by a third straight mnthly rise in fd prices — its highest in 18 mnths. “Extreme weather and pr harvests created a perfect strm,” says British Retail Cnsrtium’s Kris Hamer.
Ktz warns f brader risks: “Rising fd prices are the secnd mst visible climate impact, after extreme heat. This stress sways electins, as seen in last year’s US vte.”
The study stresses urgency in reaching net-zer emissins. “Every degree f warming raises risks f catastrphic (灾难性的) price shcks,” Ktz cncludes. “We’re fighting fr fd security and scial chesin.”
28. Which is NOT a cnsequence f climate-driven fd price spikes?
A. Scial unrestB. Higher inflatin in develped natins
C. Reduced staple cnsumptinD. Altered plitical utcmes
29. The UK’s inflatin data implies ________.
A. Develped natins avid fd price shcks
B. Climate impacts hit develping cuntries harder
C. Fd inflatin destabilizes even strng ecnmies
D. The Bank f England cntrlled inflatin effectively
30. The authr’s attitude tward the study’s findings is ________.
A. skepticalB. alarmedC. indifferentD. ptimistic
31. Which best captures the passage’s central theme?
A.Technlgy’s rle in climate mitigatin
B. Extreme weather and supply chain disruptins
C. Climate change’s immediate impact n fd and sciety
D. UN effrts t address fd security

Chinese scientists have develped a nvel methd fr mass-prducing high-quality indium selenide, a “glden semicnductr” set t revlutinize chip manufacturing. This breakthrugh, published in Science, culd pave the way fr next-gen chips that utperfrm current silicn-based technlgy.
Led by researchers frm Peking University and Renmin University, the study addresses a critical need: silicn chips are appraching their physical limits, spurring a glbal race t develp advanced semicnductrs. Indium selenide stands ut fr its unique structural and electrnic prperties, making it ideal fr high-perfrmance, lw-energy devices.
Yet scaling up prductin f this material has lng been challenging. The cre hurdle lies in maintaining the precise 1:1 atmic rati f indium t selenium during synthesis — a balance critical fr its semicnductr prperties. “Even tiny deviatins disrupt its functinality,” explained Prfessr Liu Kaihui.
The team’s innvative slutin invlves heating amrphus (非晶态的) indium selenide film alngside slid indium in a sealed envirnment. Vaprized indium atms frm a liquid interface at the film’s edge, gradually fstering the grwth f high-quality crystals with a regular atmic arrangement. This prcess ensures the perfect indium-selenium rati, vercming a key bttleneck in cmmercializing the material.
“We’ve prduced 5-centimeter indium selenide wafers and built large-scale transistr arrays directly usable in integrated chips,” nted researcher Qiu Chenguang. This marks a leap frm lab experiments t practical engineering applicatins.
32. What makes indium selenide valuable fr advanced technlgy?
A. Its lw prductin cstB. Its unique structural prperties
C. Its similarity t silicn chipsD. Its abundance in nature
33. What is the main challenge in prducing high-quality indium selenide?
A. Cntrlling the 2:1 indium-selenium rati
B. Reducing the size f the semicnductr wafers
C. Maintaining the precise 1:1 atmic rati
D. Finding enugh raw materials fr mass prductin
34. What des “this prcess” in Paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Heating amrphus indium selenide and slid indium
B. Scaling dwn silicn-based chip prductin
C. Publishing research findings in tp jurnals
D. Designing new integrated circuit structures
35. What is the mst likely next develpment discussed after the passage?
A. The histry f silicn chip manufacturing
B. Challenges in marketing the new technlgy
C. Other “glden semicnductrs” under research
D. Specific applicatins f the new indium selenide chips

Antarctica’s white vastness stretched beynd the hrizn, a silence s thick it seemed t muffle even the hwl f the wind. Our research team had been trapped in a sudden blizzard fr three days, the tent shuddering like a leaf as gales hurled ice particles against its fabric — each impact sharp enugh t leave tiny, stinging cuts n any expsed skin. Dr. Lin, her brw furrwed int a deep crease, checked the GPS fr the tenth time that hur. “Twenty kilmeters ff curse,” she muttered, tapping the screen where static had lng since replaced the familiar grid lines. The radi, nce crackling with hurly updates frm base camp, nw lay silent n the frzen grund, its battery drained t a faint flicker.
“I can’t feel my tes,” Maya whispered, her vice barely audible ver the wind. She huddled int a tight ball, her glved hand wrapped arund a water bttle she’d been ratining fr tw days—nw n mre than a few slshing drps at the bttm. I stared at the frst creeping up the tent’s zipper, crystallizatin spreading like a slw pisn acrss the fabric. Three days ag, I’d laughed as I packed my camera, teasing Maya abut hw many penguin selfies I’d take. Nw, every breath I exhaled fgged the air, and hpe felt as brittle as the thin ice sheets we’d been warned t avid — ne wrng step, and it wuld shatter.
Dr. Lin pulled a crumpled energy bar frm her pack, its wrapper crackling ludly in the quiet. She brke it int three uneven pieces, pressing the largest fragment int Maya’s trembling hand. “Eat,” she said, her vice firm but gentle. “We need strength—fr when the strm breaks.” Maya shk her head, her lwer lip quivering, but Dr. Lin’s gaze sftened. “Remember why we came? Thse emperr penguin chicks we tracked? Fluffy, half-frzen, but pecking at the ice like they wned it.” Her wrds hung in the air, and I thught f the chicks — hw they huddled tgether, tiny bdies pressed against ne anther t fight the cld. Outside, a sudden gust sent the tent lurching, and I heard a faint creak frm the ple abve — ur shelter was weakening.
Just as despair began t swallw me, a faint nise cut thrugh the wind.

Just as despair began t swallw me, a faint nise cut thrugh the wind. It was a rhythmic, metallic clang, grwing steadily luder. Dr. Lin’s eyes widened, and she scrambled t the tent flap, unzipping it just enugh t peer utside. “It’s the rescue sled!” she shuted, her vice tinged with disbelief. Thrugh the swirling snw, I culd make ut the faint glw f a headlamp and the utline f a figure trudging tward us, dragging a heavy sled behind. It was the base camp team, risking their lives t find us. Maya burst int tears, her frzen fingers clutching my arm as relief washed ver us.
By dawn, the blizzard finally eased. The sky cleared, revealing a breathtaking expanse f blue, and the sun cast a glden glw ver the ice. We were helped nt the sled, wrapped in warm blankets, and given ht drinks that burned my thrat but felt like heaven. As we jurneyed back t base camp, I thught f the emperr penguin chicks. We, t, had huddled tgether, fught thrugh the strm, and survived. The experience had left us with memries that wuld stay frever, a testament t hpe and human resilience against nature’s fury.
