In this episode, we’re in Chengdu, Sichuan, exploring its spicy dishes with culinary (烹饪的) experts.
Mei: Could you tell us how you fell in love with Sichuan cuisine?
Jing: I grew up in Canada, feeling quite disconnected from the identity of being Chinese. After university, I went to China to work and began digging into Chinese food. At first, I was just amazed by its diversity and complexity. But the more I studied, the more I realized how little we know about Chinese food in the West. The passion for Chinese food led me to found a restaurant called Fly By Jing. It is inspired by the flavors of fly restaurants. These restaurants in Chengdu are so delicious that no matter how shabby or lacking in atmosphere, people will find them and flock to them.
Mei: What do you love about Sichuan?
Fuchsia: There is a saying that if you are young, you should not go to Sichuan. Its capital city — Chengdu is a relaxing, pleasure-loving city, so ambitious people should steer clear! Sichuan is best known for its folk cooking and street food. You can just go into quite ordinary-looking restaurants and have a delicious meal.
Mei: What do you think is one of the main things Westerners don’t know about Sichuan cuisine?
John: One of the ironies is that while Sichuan cuisine has become popular internationally, people are often taken in by this stereotype (刻板印象) that it is just about the great drama of loads of chilies and peppers in pools of oil. But the real heart and soul of Sichuan cooking lie in the flavoring. I would say that sophistication and flavoring variety are things that people often miss out on.
24. What made Jing decide to found Fly By Jing?
A. Her understanding of Chinese culture. B. Her desire to acquire a Chinese identity
C. Her love for Chinese food. D. Her wish to promote Chinese culture.
25. What does the underlined phrase “steer clear” mean?
A. Pull through. B. Move forward. C. Pass down. D. Stay away.
26. What is the common misunderstanding of Sichuan cuisine?
A. It may cause health problems. B. It is all about chilies and peppers in oil.
C. Its soul lies in the amazing flavor. D. It is very popular in the world.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ways to make local food. B. Experts’ tips on Sichuan cuisine.
C. The charm of Sichuan food. D. Differences between Eastern and Western food
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了几位美食专家畅谈川菜,讲述创办中餐店缘由,介绍成都饮食氛围,纠正西方对川菜只重辣味的误解,尽显川菜独特魅力。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The passion for Chinese food led me to found a restaurant called Fly By Jing.(对中国美食的热爱促使我创办了一家名为Fly By Jing的餐厅)”可知,对中国美食的热爱促使静决定创立Fly By Jing餐厅。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“There is a saying that if you are young, you should not go to Sichuan.(有一句俗语说,年轻人最好不要去四川)”以及“Its capital city — Chengdu is a relaxing, pleasure-loving city, so ambitious people should(其省会城市——成都是一个充满悠闲氛围、热爱享乐的城市,所以那些雄心勃勃的人应该……)”可知,前文说成都安逸享乐,有志向的人应当远离,故划线词意思是“避开、远离”。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“One of the ironies is that while Sichuan cuisine has become popular internationally, people are often taken in by this stereotype (刻板印象) that it is just about the great drama of loads of chilies and peppers in pools of oil.(其中的一个讽刺之处在于,尽管川菜在国际上已经颇受欢迎,但人们往往会被这种刻板印象所误导,即认为川菜仅仅就是大量辣椒和花椒在油锅中烹制出的“浓烈辣味”罢了)”可知,人们普遍存在的一个误解是川菜就是油炸辣椒和辣椒粉的组合。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In this episode, we’re in Chengdu, Sichuan, exploring its spicy dishes with culinary (烹饪的) experts.(在这一集中,我们来到了四川成都,与烹饪专家一同探索那里的特色美食)”结合文章主要说明了几位美食专家畅谈川菜,讲述创办中餐店缘由,介绍成都饮食氛围,纠正西方对川菜只重辣味的误解,尽显川菜独特魅力。可知,这篇文章主要讲的是川菜的魅力。
C
For decades, silicon has dominated the solar energy industry. But a new material called perovskite is quietly challenging its dominance. Perovskite solar cells have achieved a dramatic increase in efficiency — from just 3.8% in 2009 to over 26% in laboratory tests today, approaching the record of silicon cells. What makes perovskite even more attractive is its low production cost. Unlike silicon, which requires high-temperature, energy-intensive manufacturing, perovskite can be printed into thin films at room temperature using simple inkjet printers.
However, the road to commercial application has been rocky. The biggest obstacle is stability. Early perovskite cells would degrade within hours when exposed to moisture, heat, or even continuous light. For years, researchers have been racing to solve this problem. In late 2025, a team from Oxford University announced a breakthrough: by adding a layer of two-dimensional perovskite on top of the standard three-dimensional version, they created a “sandwich” structure that resists degradation. The new design preserved 95% of its efficiency after 2,000 hours of continuous use — a tenfold improvement over previous versions.
Another major challenge is scalability. Most high-efficiency perovskite cells are smaller than a fingernail. Producing large, defect-free panels remains difficult. Yet several companies have begun pilot production lines, aiming to bring perovskite-silicon tandem cells — which combine both materials to achieve over 30% efficiency — to the market by 2027.
If these hurdles are overcome, perovskite could revolutionize solar power. Its flexibility means it can be applied to curved surfaces like car roofs, building walls, or even clothing. Some envision a future where windows generate electricity while remaining transparent. While silicon will likely remain dominant for large-scale farms, perovskite may enable solar energy to reach places previously considered impossible.
28. What is the main advantage of perovskite over silicon according to paragraph 1?
A. It has already achieved higher efficiency than silicon.
B. It can be manufactured at a much lower cost.
C. It requires high-temperature processing.
D. It has been used commercially for decades.
29. What was the key improvement made by the Oxford University team in late 2025?
A. They increased the efficiency of perovskite cells to over 30%.
B. They developed a new structure that greatly improved durability.
C. They printed perovskite films using ordinary inkjet printers.
D. They reduced the size of perovskite cells to smaller than a fingernail.
30. The word “scalability” in paragraph 3 most likely refers to the ability to ______
A. make cells flexible enough to bend B. produce cells in large sizes without defects
C. increase the efficiency of existing cells D. reduce the cost of raw materials
31. What can be inferred about the future of perovskite solar cells from the last paragraph?
A. They will completely replace silicon in all solar applications.
B. They will be limited to small-scale uses due to stability issues.
C. They may bring solar power to new areas where silicon cannot go.
D. They will remain transparent and thus useless for power generation.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要说明了钙钛矿太阳能电池高效价廉,但存在稳定性差、难量产难题。科研取得突破,未来它将拓展光伏应用场景,与硅电池互补发展。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“What makes perovskite even more attractive is its low production cost.(使得钙钛矿材料更具吸引力的另一点是其极低的生产成本)”可知,钙钛矿相较于硅的主要优势是制造成本要低得多。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In late 2025, a team from Oxford University announced a breakthrough: by adding a layer of two-dimensional perovskite on top of the standard three-dimensional version, they created a “sandwich” structure that resists degradation. The new design preserved 95% of its efficiency after 2,000 hours of continuous use — a tenfold improvement over previous versions.(2025年末,牛津大学的一个研究团队宣布取得了一项重大突破:他们在标准的三维结构之上添加了一层二维的铅钛矿材料,从而构建出了一个“三明治”结构,这种结构具有抗降解的特性。这种新设计在连续使用2000小时后仍能保持95%的效率——相比之前的版本,效率提高了十倍)”可知,2025年末,牛津大学的研究团队开发了一种新的结构,极大地提高了耐用性。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Most high-efficiency perovskite cells are smaller than a fingernail. Producing large, defect-free panels remains difficult. Yet several companies have begun pilot production lines, aiming to bring perovskite-silicon tandem cells — which combine both materials to achieve over 30% efficiency — to the market by 2027.(大多数高效钙钛矿电池的尺寸都小于一个指甲盖大小。要生产出大尺寸且无缺陷的电池板仍然颇具挑战性。然而,已有几家公司开始启动小规模生产线,旨在于2027年将钙钛矿-硅串联电池(这种电池将两种材料相结合,可实现超过30%的效率)推向市场)”可知,后文说明高效电池尺寸极小,难以量产无瑕疵大面板,故“scalability”一词很可能指的是能够以大规模生产细胞且不出现缺陷的能力。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While silicon will likely remain dominant for large-scale farms, perovskite may enable solar energy to reach places previously considered impossible.(虽然硅在大规模太阳能发电领域仍将是主流材料,但钙钛矿材料或许能让太阳能技术拓展到此前认为无法实现的应用领域)”可知,钙钛矿太阳能电池未来或许能将太阳能引入硅无法到达的新区域。

For centuries, Western thought has largely treated nature as a resource to be managed, tamed, or overcome. From draining wetlands to building dams, human progress was often measured by how much we could bend the natural world to our will. But a quiet revolution is now taking place in ecology and conservation — one that sees humans not as separate from nature, but as an integral part of it. This shift, often called the “reintegration paradigm”, is changing how scientists approach everything from wildfire control to wildlife protection.
One striking example comes from Australia, where Aboriginal burning practices, long dismissed by European settlers as primitive, have been scientifically proven to reduce disastrous bushfires. For tens of thousands of years, ancient Australians used low-intensity fires to clear undergrowth and create natural firebreaks. When modern Australia adopted these traditional methods, the result was a dramatic drop in the scale of summer wildfires. Here, ancient human practice did not destroy the ecosystem; it actively sustained it. The lesson is clear: some ecosystems have evolved with human intervention, and removing humans entirely can be just as damaging as overusing the land.
A similar rethinking is occurring in China’s Three-River-Source region on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. For generations, local Tibetan herders maintained a delicate balance with the land, moving their yaks according to seasonal grass growth. However, when conservation policies in the early 2000s forced many herders to relocate in the name of “wilderness protection,” the grasslands unexpectedly began to degrade. Without the herders’ controlled grazing (放牧), invasive species spread, and the risk of grassland fires increased. Scientists later realized that the herders’ traditional grazing had played a key role in keeping the ecosystem healthy. As a result, policies have shifted toward co-management, where local communities work alongside ecologists to protect the land.
This new perspective challenges the “pristine wilderness” myth — the idea that nature is only truly natural when untouched by human hands. In fact, archaeological evidence suggests that many landscapes once thought to be primeval (古老的), such as the Amazon rainforest, were actively shaped by native peoples for millennia. The Amazon’s famous “dark earth” (terra preta), rich in nutrients, was created by ancient human activity. Rather than being a sign of destruction, human presence was a force of enrichment.
Of course, this does not mean that all human activity is beneficial. Industrial agriculture, overfishing, and deforestation remain devastating. But the reintegration paradigm offers a more subtle truth: humans can be either a destructive force or a keystone species that supports biodiversity. The choice lies not in withdrawing from nature, but in learning from the traditions that have stood the test of time. As an ecologist involved in the Tibetan co-management project put it, “Conservation is not a wall between people and nature. It’s a handshake.”
32. What does the “reintegration paradigm” mentioned in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The idea that humans should completely stay away from nature.
B. The view that traditional practices are always superior to modern science.
C. The belief that humans are a natural and essential part of ecosystems.
D. The argument that nature can only be protected by advanced technology.
33. Why did the grasslands in China’s Three-River-Source region degrade after herders were relocated?
A. Because the herders overgrazed the land before moving away.
B. Because the area experienced unusually severe weather conditions.
C. Because the removal of controlled grazing allowed harmful species to take over.
D. Because the government failed to provide enough funding for grassland protection.
34. The author mentions the Amazon’s “dark earth” in paragraph 4 to illustrate that ______
A. human activity can sometimes enrich the environment rather than destroy it
B. the Amazon rainforest was never truly wild or untouched by humans
C. Indigenous people had more advanced farming techniques than modern farmers
D. soil in the Amazon is naturally fertile without any human help
35. What can be inferred from the ecologist’s statement “Conservation is not a wall between people and nature. It’s a handshake” in the last paragraph?
A. Conservation should keep humans completely out of wild areas.
B. Successful conservation requires cooperation between humans and nature.
C. Nature can take care of itself without any human involvement.
D. Traditional handshake customs are important for environmental protection.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章摒弃人类凌驾自然的旧观念,结合澳洲用火、三江源放牧等实例,证明合理人文活动可维系生态,倡导人与自然协同共生开展生态保护。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But a quiet revolution is now taking place in ecology and conservation — one that sees humans not as separate from nature, but as an integral part of it.(但如今,在生态学和环境保护领域正悄然发生一场变革——这场变革认为人类并非与自然相分离的个体,而是自然不可分割的一部分)”可知,“重新融入模式”即认为人类是生态系统中自然且不可或缺的一部分这一观点。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Without the herders’ controlled grazing (放牧), invasive species spread, and the risk of grassland fires increased.(如果没有牧民对放牧活动的控制,入侵物种就会大量繁殖,草原火灾的风险也会随之增加)”可知,在中国三江源地区的草原上,当牧民被迁移后,这些草原却出现了退化现象是因为牧民的放牧管制措施被取消,从而导致有害物种得以大量繁衍。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Rather than being a sign of destruction, human presence was a force of enrichment.(人类的出现并非意味着毁灭,而是一种促进发展的力量)”可知,作者提及了亚马逊地区的“暗色土壤”,以此来说明人类活动有时能够改善环境,而非破坏环境。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, this does not mean that all human activity is beneficial. Industrial agriculture, overfishing, and deforestation remain devastating. But the reintegration paradigm offers a more subtle truth: humans can be either a destructive force or a keystone species that supports biodiversity. The choice lies not in withdrawing from nature, but in learning from the traditions that have stood the test of time. As an ecologist involved in the Tibetan co-management project put it, “Conservation is not a wall between people and nature. It’s a handshake.”(当然,这并不意味着所有的人类活动都是有益的。工业农业、过度捕捞以及森林砍伐仍然造成了极大的破坏。但重新整合模式揭示了一个更为微妙的真相:人类既可以成为一种破坏性的力量,也可以成为支撑生物多样性的关键物种。选择并不在于远离自然,而在于从那些历经时间考验的传统中汲取经验。正如一位参与西藏共同管理项目的生态学家所说:“保护并非是人与自然之间的壁垒。它是握手。”)”可知,从最后一段生态学家的这句话“保护并非存在于人与自然之间的壁垒,而是一种握手”中,我们可以推断出成功的保护需要人类与自然之间的合作。

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。
Gardening is more than just a hobby or a simple pastime.____36____As you step outside to tend to your lively plants, a sense of peace and calmness will take up your mind.
Whether you have access to a garden or plant pots on a balcony (阳台), gardening is a great way to get active. As well as sowing, gardening involves digging, weeding and being aware of the weather. Clare Dorey, a gardening expert, creates gardens for schools and community groups. “____37____For example, you will notice ladybirds and butterflies that dance and work among flowers,” she explains.
Spending time outside has big benefits for physical and mental health. Focusing on brightly colored flowers and dancing insects is a mindful activity, which means you are concentrating on what’s around you instead of your worries.____38____Scientists say being exposed to the microorganism in the soil can help to boost your body’s defences against illness.
For many gardening enthusiasts, the most rewarding aspect is the ability to grow one’s own food. It not only is cost-effective but also ensures that your produce is fresher and more flavorful than what you can find in supermarkets.____39____Plant pots, a window box or the comer of the garden will do.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章探讨了园艺的多重好处,包括促进身心健康、发展社交活动等。语篇鼓励考生通过园艺来接触自然。培养劳动意识,促进全面发展。
【36题详解】
空前“Gardening is more than just a hobby or a simple pastime.(园艺不仅仅是一种爱好或简单的消遣活动)”提到园艺不仅仅是一种爱好或简单的消遣,因此空处应是说园艺还是什么:下文“As you step outside to tend to your lively plants, a sense of peace and calmness will take up your mind.(当你走出家门去照料那些生机勃勃的植物时,一种平和与宁静的感觉便会萦绕在你的心头)”说当你走到户外去照料植物时的平静和宁静的感觉,因此空处还应与去户外以及宁静有关。F项“它是一种可让人暂时从繁忙的日常中解脱出来的生活力式”能够很好地总结园艺的特质,承上启下。故选F。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Whether you have access to a garden or plant pots on a balcony (阳台), gardening is a great way to get active. As well as sowing, gardening involves digging, weeding and being aware of the weather. Clare Dorey, a gardening expert, creates gardens for schools and community groups.(无论你是否有花园可供使用,还是在阳台上有花盆,园艺都是一个很好的锻炼方式。除了播种之外,园艺还包括挖掘、除草以及关注天气变化。克莱尔·多里是一位园艺专家,她为学校和社区团体设计花园)”以及后文“For example, you will notice ladybirds and butterflies that dance and work among flowers(例如,你会看到瓢虫和蝴蝶在花丛中翩翩起舞、忙碌劳作)”可知,空前提到园艺专家Clare Dorey为学校和社区团体设计花园,空后讲到举例你会注意到飞舞的瓢虫和蝴蝶。空处应是空后例子解释的内容。G项“它们让你注意到那些经常被忽视的大自然中的小奇观”概括了空后内容。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Spending time outside has big benefits for physical and mental health. Focusing on brightly colored flowers and dancing insects is a mindful activity, which means you are concentrating on what’s around you instead of your worries.(外出活动对身心健康有着极大的益处。专注于色彩鲜艳的花朵和翩翩起舞的昆虫是一种专注的活动,这意味着你能够专注于周围的事物,而非自己的忧虑)”以及后文“Scientists say being exposed to the microorganism in the soil can help to boost your body’s defences against illness.(科学家们表示,接触土壤中的微生物有助于增强人体抵御疾病的免疫力)”可知,本段讲述花时间进行户外活动对身心健康的好处。空前讲述心理方面的好处,空后讲述接触土壤中的微生物可以帮助增强你身体对抗疾病的防御能力,属于身体方面的好处。C项“即使把手弄脏对你也是有好处的”能够引起下文且呼应段落主旨,符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
根据上文“For many gardening enthusiasts, the most rewarding aspect is the ability to grow one’s own food. It not only is cost-effective but also ensures that your produce is fresher and more flavorful than what you can find in supermarkets.(对于许多园艺爱好者而言,最令人感到满足的方面在于能够自己种植食物。这不仅经济实惠,还能确保所收获的农产品比在超市里买到的更加新鲜、更加美味)”以及后文“Plant pots, a window box or the comer of the garden will do.(花盆、窗台花箱或者花园的一角都行)”可知,这一段讨论利用园艺种植自己的食物。空前提到自己种植食物的好处,空后讲述花盆,窗台花箱或花园的一角都可以,因此空处应是与种植食物的地方相关。B项“你种东西不需要很多空间”与上下文衔接紧密。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据后文“By starting a gardening club with green-fingered friends, you can create a lively community that develops with joint efforts. Weekly meetings provide an ideal platform for members to engage in various outdoor activities, such as lending to plants and identifying different types of weeds. These activities not only enhance gardening skills but also encourage a sense of community and teamwork.(通过与有园艺经验的朋友一起成立一个园艺俱乐部,你可以创建一个充满活力的社区,这个社区是通过共同努力而不断发展的。每周的聚会为成员们提供了一个理想的平台,让他们能够参与各种户外活动,比如交换植物和辨别不同种类的杂草。这些活动不仅能够提升园艺技能,还能增强社区意识和团队合作精神)”可知,本段讲述了通过与擅长园艺的朋友们一起创办一个园艺俱乐部,可以增强社交联系。D项“社交联系通过园艺得以加强”能概括本段大意。故选D。

A Hearty Welcome
Chase counted his new year gifts one more time as he put a robot-shaped eraser into each envelope. “Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two.”
“Do you have one for everyone in your class?” Mom asked.
“Yep!” Chase said. “I’m ready for the party tomorrow!”
When Chase got to school the next day, he saw a new girl in his classroom. She stood near Ms. Robins and looked around shyly.
“This is Eva,” said Ms. Robins. “Will someone volunteer to show her around today? “Chase raised his hand since he liked showing the new kids around and helping them feel welcome.
“Thanks, Chase, “Ms. Robins said. “Now let’s get down to our work.”
That’s when Chase realized he didn’t have a new year gift for Eva. No one else would have one either. Chase pictured his classmates’ desks covered with gifts while Eva’s desk was empty. He felt sad about that.
At a break, he was careful not to mention the party as he showed Eva around the playground. At lunchtime, he walked Eva to the lunchroom, still worried about what would happen at the party. Eva had brought a packed lunch. so Chase showed her where she was supposed to sit and introduced her to some of the kids at her table.
While eating, Chase suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. This won’t be a New Year’s Day for Eva with no gifts. But as he sat down at his table, an idea flooded into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering.
When they were back in the classroom after lunch, Chase told Ms. Robins about their plan. Ms. Robins smiled. “That’s very thoughtful, “she said. “Let’s go for it.”
It was math time, so Chase invited Eva to study with him. He made sure Eva sat with her back to the room so she wouldn’t notice.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Meanwhile, her new classmates were busying working on something. They were going to give Eva their “hearts”. Quickly but quietly, Ms. Robins, with an exquisite paper bag she fetched from her office, was walking around the classroom to collect the candy hearts. Growing heavy with the paper bag was the students’ welcome for their new classmate. Sitting beside Eva, Chase felt his heart racing and palms sweating. In order not to ruin the new year surprise for Eva, he pretended to be discussing math problems with her to occupy her attention. The stone in his heart finally dropped when Ms Robins tiptoed towards him and placed the paper bag on his hands.
“Here’s your new year gift, Eva. It’s from everyone.” said Chase. Surprise written on Eva’s face, she turned around and was greeted by the sunny smiles on her classmates’ faces. “Open it,” I encouraged. No sooner had she opened the paper bag than everybody cheered, “Happy New Year”. The candies which were made in the shape of hearts blurred her eyes. If only she had been able to express how much this precious gift meant to her. Springing from her seat, she stepped forward and bowed to her new but considerate classmates, who not only erased her anxiety but also planted the seed of hope in her heart. What a hearty welcome!

In this episode, we’re in Chengdu, Sichuan, exploring its spicy dishes with culinary (烹饪的) experts.
Mei: Could you tell us how you fell in love with Sichuan cuisine?
Jing: I grew up in Canada, feeling quite disconnected from the identity of being Chinese. After university, I went to China to work and began digging into Chinese food. At first, I was just amazed by its diversity and complexity. But the more I studied, the more I realized how little we know about Chinese food in the West. The passion for Chinese food led me to found a restaurant called Fly By Jing. It is inspired by the flavors of fly restaurants. These restaurants in Chengdu are so delicious that no matter how shabby or lacking in atmosphere, people will find them and flock to them.
Mei: What do you love about Sichuan?
Fuchsia: There is a saying that if you are young, you should not go to Sichuan. Its capital city — Chengdu is a relaxing, pleasure-loving city, so ambitious people should steer clear! Sichuan is best known for its folk cooking and street food. You can just go into quite ordinary-looking restaurants and have a delicious meal.
Mei: What do you think is one of the main things Westerners don’t know about Sichuan cuisine?
John: One of the ironies is that while Sichuan cuisine has become popular internationally, people are often taken in by this stereotype (刻板印象) that it is just about the great drama of loads of chilies and peppers in pools of oil. But the real heart and soul of Sichuan cooking lie in the flavoring. I would say that sophistication and flavoring variety are things that people often miss out on.
24. What made Jing decide to found Fly By Jing?
A. Her understanding of Chinese culture. B. Her desire to acquire a Chinese identity
C. Her love for Chinese food. D. Her wish to promote Chinese culture.
25. What does the underlined phrase “steer clear” mean?
A. Pull through. B. Move forward. C. Pass down. D. Stay away.
26. What is the common misunderstanding of Sichuan cuisine?
A. It may cause health problems. B. It is all about chilies and peppers in oil.
C. Its soul lies in the amazing flavor. D. It is very popular in the world.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ways to make local food. B. Experts’ tips on Sichuan cuisine.
C. The charm of Sichuan food. D. Differences between Eastern and Western food
C
For decades, silicon has dominated the solar energy industry. But a new material called perovskite is quietly challenging its dominance. Perovskite solar cells have achieved a dramatic increase in efficiency — from just 3.8% in 2009 to over 26% in laboratory tests today, approaching the record of silicon cells. What makes perovskite even more attractive is its low production cost. Unlike silicon, which requires high-temperature, energy-intensive manufacturing, perovskite can be printed into thin films at room temperature using simple inkjet printers.
However, the road to commercial application has been rocky. The biggest obstacle is stability. Early perovskite cells would degrade within hours when exposed to moisture, heat, or even continuous light. For years, researchers have been racing to solve this problem. In late 2025, a team from Oxford University announced a breakthrough: by adding a layer of two-dimensional perovskite on top of the standard three-dimensional version, they created a “sandwich” structure that resists degradation. The new design preserved 95% of its efficiency after 2,000 hours of continuous use — a tenfold improvement over previous versions.
Another major challenge is scalability. Most high-efficiency perovskite cells are smaller than a fingernail. Producing large, defect-free panels remains difficult. Yet several companies have begun pilot production lines, aiming to bring perovskite-silicon tandem cells — which combine both materials to achieve over 30% efficiency — to the market by 2027.
If these hurdles are overcome, perovskite could revolutionize solar power. Its flexibility means it can be applied to curved surfaces like car roofs, building walls, or even clothing. Some envision a future where windows generate electricity while remaining transparent. While silicon will likely remain dominant for large-scale farms, perovskite may enable solar energy to reach places previously considered impossible.
28. What is the main advantage of perovskite over silicon according to paragraph 1?
A. It has already achieved higher efficiency than silicon.
B. It can be manufactured at a much lower cost.
C. It requires high-temperature processing.
D. It has been used commercially for decades.
29. What was the key improvement made by the Oxford University team in late 2025?
A. They increased the efficiency of perovskite cells to over 30%.
B. They developed a new structure that greatly improved durability.
C. They printed perovskite films using ordinary inkjet printers.
D. They reduced the size of perovskite cells to smaller than a fingernail.
30. The word “scalability” in paragraph 3 most likely refers to the ability to ______
A. make cells flexible enough to bend B. produce cells in large sizes without defects
C. increase the efficiency of existing cells D. reduce the cost of raw materials
31. What can be inferred about the future of perovskite solar cells from the last paragraph?
A. They will completely replace silicon in all solar applications.
B. They will be limited to small-scale uses due to stability issues.
C. They may bring solar power to new areas where silicon cannot go.
D. They will remain transparent and thus useless for power generation.
D
For centuries, Western thought has largely treated nature as a resource to be managed, tamed, or overcome. From draining wetlands to building dams, human progress was often measured by how much we could bend the natural world to our will. But a quiet revolution is now taking place in ecology and conservation — one that sees humans not as separate from nature, but as an integral part of it. This shift, often called the “reintegration paradigm”, is changing how scientists approach everything from wildfire control to wildlife protection.
One striking example comes from Australia, where Aboriginal burning practices, long dismissed by European settlers as primitive, have been scientifically proven to reduce disastrous bushfires. For tens of thousands of years, ancient Australians used low-intensity fires to clear undergrowth and create natural firebreaks. When modern Australia adopted these traditional methods, the result was a dramatic drop in the scale of summer wildfires. Here, ancient human practice did not destroy the ecosystem; it actively sustained it. The lesson is clear: some ecosystems have evolved with human intervention, and removing humans entirely can be just as damaging as overusing the land.
A similar rethinking is occurring in China’s Three-River-Source region on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. For generations, local Tibetan herders maintained a delicate balance with the land, moving their yaks according to seasonal grass growth. However, when conservation policies in the early 2000s forced many herders to relocate in the name of “wilderness protection,” the grasslands unexpectedly began to degrade. Without the herders’ controlled grazing (放牧), invasive species spread, and the risk of grassland fires increased. Scientists later realized that the herders’ traditional grazing had played a key role in keeping the ecosystem healthy. As a result, policies have shifted toward co-management, where local communities work alongside ecologists to protect the land.
This new perspective challenges the “pristine wilderness” myth — the idea that nature is only truly natural when untouched by human hands. In fact, archaeological evidence suggests that many landscapes once thought to be primeval (古老的), such as the Amazon rainforest, were actively shaped by native peoples for millennia. The Amazon’s famous “dark earth” (terra preta), rich in nutrients, was created by ancient human activity. Rather than being a sign of destruction, human presence was a force of enrichment.
Of course, this does not mean that all human activity is beneficial. Industrial agriculture, overfishing, and deforestation remain devastating. But the reintegration paradigm offers a more subtle truth: humans can be either a destructive force or a keystone species that supports biodiversity. The choice lies not in withdrawing from nature, but in learning from the traditions that have stood the test of time. As an ecologist involved in the Tibetan co-management project put it, “Conservation is not a wall between people and nature. It’s a handshake.”
32. What does the “reintegration paradigm” mentioned in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The idea that humans should completely stay away from nature.
B. The view that traditional practices are always superior to modern science.
C. The belief that humans are a natural and essential part of ecosystems.
D. The argument that nature can only be protected by advanced technology.
33. Why did the grasslands in China’s Three-River-Source region degrade after herders were relocated?
A. Because the herders overgrazed the land before moving away.
B. Because the area experienced unusually severe weather conditions.
C. Because the removal of controlled grazing allowed harmful species to take over.
D. Because the government failed to provide enough funding for grassland protection.
34. The author mentions the Amazon’s “dark earth” in paragraph 4 to illustrate that ______
A. human activity can sometimes enrich the environment rather than destroy it
B. the Amazon rainforest was never truly wild or untouched by humans
C. Indigenous people had more advanced farming techniques than modern farmers
D. soil in the Amazon is naturally fertile without any human help
35. What can be inferred from the ecologist’s statement “Conservation is not a wall between people and nature. It’s a handshake” in the last paragraph?
A. Conservation should keep humans completely out of wild areas.
B. Successful conservation requires cooperation between humans and nature.
C. Nature can take care of itself without any human involvement.
D. Traditional handshake customs are important for environmental protection.

A Hearty Welcome
Chase counted his new year gifts one more time as he put a robot-shaped eraser into each envelope. “Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two.”
“Do you have one for everyone in your class?” Mom asked.
“Yep!” Chase said. “I’m ready for the party tomorrow!”
When Chase got to school the next day, he saw a new girl in his classroom. She stood near Ms. Robins and looked around shyly.
“This is Eva,” said Ms. Robins. “Will someone volunteer to show her around today? “Chase raised his hand since he liked showing the new kids around and helping them feel welcome.
“Thanks, Chase, “Ms. Robins said. “Now let’s get down to our work.”
That’s when Chase realized he didn’t have a new year gift for Eva. No one else would have one either. Chase pictured his classmates’ desks covered with gifts while Eva’s desk was empty. He felt sad about that.
At a break, he was careful not to mention the party as he showed Eva around the playground. At lunchtime, he walked Eva to the lunchroom, still worried about what would happen at the party. Eva had brought a packed lunch. so Chase showed her where she was supposed to sit and introduced her to some of the kids at her table.
While eating, Chase suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. This won’t be a New Year’s Day for Eva with no gifts. But as he sat down at his table, an idea flooded into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering.
When they were back in the classroom after lunch, Chase told Ms. Robins about their plan. Ms. Robins smiled. “That’s very thoughtful, “she said. “Let’s go for it.”
It was math time, so Chase invited Eva to study with him. He made sure Eva sat with her back to the room so she wouldn’t notice.
