Spring Festival Garden Fairs: A Trio of Traditions
Across China, Spring Festival garden fairs showcase a fascinating combination of ancient customs and modern innovation, each with its own regional flavor and immense popularity.
Beijing Ditan Fair
In Beijing, the fair at Ditan Park remains a beloved pilgrimage for locals. Amidst the aroma of candied hawthorns, elderly calligraphers still write couplets by hand. This year, a tech-savvy twist appeared: visitors could scan QR codes on blank scrolls, and a robotic arm would perfectly clone a master calligrapher’s strokes, allowing anyone to “write” their own couplets. The fair’s enduring popularity was evident in the long, patient queues.
Shenzhen Pingshan Cultural Temple Fair
In tech-forward Shenzhen, the fair was a spectacle of the future. Traditional paper lanterns were replaced by a dazzling display of programmable drones and immersive light projections onto modern skyscrapers. Instead of physical lion dances, augmented reality filters on a city app let users “dance” with a virtual lion in their own living rooms, especially for young people. Its popularity exploded online, with millions watching the live-streamed light show, bridging the gap for those who couldn’t attend.
Wuhou Shrine Chengdu Temple Fair
In Chengdu, the fair celebrated its heritage with a global audience. Visitors could still enjoy traditional Sichuan opera face-changing. Yet, these performances were simultaneously live-streamed in multiple languages by hosts using smart translation earpieces. The fair’s popularity has become international, with interactive online sessions where global viewers can “send” virtual red envelopes to performers.
From the ancient lanes of Beijing to the digital frontiers of Shenzhen and the global stage of Chengdu, the garden fair evolves, proving tradition and technology can flourish together.
1. What was new at the Beijing Ditan Fair this year?
A. A light show for home viewers. B. A robotic arm writing couplets.
C. Digital couplets on smartphones. D. Calligraphy lessons from the elderly.
2. What did fairs in Shenzhen and Chengdu have in common?
A. They targeted young visitors. B. They displayed traditional lanterns.
C. They reached online audiences digitally. D. They featured operas in multiple languages.
3. Which category does this text fit into best?
A. Culture. B. Art. C. Travel. D. Health.
B
My grandmother has long stuck to writing handwritten letters to her siblings across the country — a practice that always struck me as old-fashioned when I was a teenager. Back then, instant messages and video calls were my go-to for staying connected. Why wait days for a reply, I’d joke, when I could get one in mere seconds? To me, her letters felt like a relic of the past, irrelevant in a world that valued speed above all.
That prejudice softened once I left home for college, though. I kept in touch with family and friends through endless group chats and fleeting online interactions — but those quick exchanges felt empty and distant, never giving me space to savor the little details of their lives. It was then, one rainy weekend amid the constant digital noise, that I stumbled upon a letter my grandmother sent me. As I read her neat handwriting-brimming with warm daily details, from her potted flowers’ bloom to quiet family concern — I realized the warmth it carried: unlike transient digital chats, it held moments I could revisit, letting me feel close to home in a way screens never could. That’s when my view of this practice shifted.
Inspired, I decided to try writing a letter home myself. Unlike the hasty taps on a screen, putting pen to paper forced me to slow down, reflect, and unpack my true feelings. Though I waited over a week for a reply, the process itself calmed my restlessness. Handwritten letters, I realized, are more than just words on paper — they are tangible memories that hold genuine emotion, a weight that digital messages can never carry.
Now I write letters regularly. They don’t take the place of digital communication — nor do I want them to — but they help me nurture deep, meaningful emotional bonds. In a noisy digital world that's always rushing, this quiet practice lets me be truly authentic and hold onto the warmth that quick messages so often lack.
4. What did the author think of her grandmother’s letter-writing habit as a teenager?
A. Meaningful. B. Outdated.
C. Efficient. D. Shallow.
5. What made the author change her attitude towards handwritten letters?
A. She wanted to improve her personal writing skills.
B. She tried writing letters to convey her true feelings.
C. She accidentally found a letter from her grandmother.
D. She felt online chats couldn't convey family concerns.
6. What does the underlined word “transient” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Temporary. B. Touchable.
C. Valuable. D. Forgotten.
7. What benefit does writing letters bring to the author?
A. It creates warm moments for her to revisit.
B. It strengthens her deep emotional bonds.
C. It replaces all her digital communication.
D. It makes her communication more effective.
C
Dreschel is going for his daily morning walk around Thalangama Wetland, in Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo. The sun casts a warm glow over flowering pink water lilies (睡莲) as a farmer washes down his water buffalo. A kingfisher hovers (盘旋) nearby.
But this hasn’t always been the case. About 15 years ago, Thalangama’s wetlands were polluted and filled with rubbish. Dreschel, the country manager at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) in Colombo, recalled a decade ago he began cleaning the lake alone. Surprisingly, passersby stopped to help. Inspired the community formed the Thalangama Wetland Watch.
Colombo, a Ramsar wetland city, located in a river basin and naturally trending to floods, relies on its wetlands as natural flood barriers, absorbing 40% of floodwaters. They also sink carbon, purify air, and control temperatures. Historically central to local life, they now help reduce climate change, pollution, and stress for residents in high-rise buildings.
It is said that after significant flooding events the government realized wetlands are a significant flood control mechanism and began to act, launching a revival strategy to restore these critical ecosystems. The metro Colombo wetland management strategy was introduced in 2016, which aims to include wetlands in urban planning, prevent further wetland loss, restore the ecosystems and involve the local community in their conservation. Following that, wetlands were included into urban infrastructure by constructing cycling tracks, jogging paths and recreational areas around them. Invasive species were almost cleaned and new soil and wetland plants were introduced to attract birds and other animals.
Green infrastructure projects have reconnected people with Colombo’s wetlands. Communities like Wetland Watch now maintain them, boosting property values. The Ramsar status temporarily stopped wetland destruction.
But an expert warns that coordinated efforts are essential to resist growing flood risks. He emphasizes that public education on wetlands is crucial for urban resilience. Another notes a fundamental urgency to protect these ecosystems. “If we lose our wetlands, Colombo will be unlivable.”
8. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Dreschel’s morning walk?
A. To recommend a way to protect wetlands.
B. To show Dreschel’s healthy and peaceful life.
C. To present a scene full of life around The wetland.
D. To suggest benefits of morning walks in Sri Lanka.
9. What is the function of the wetland?
A. Releasing the impact of floods. B. Providing residential areas for people.
C. Preventing climate change and pollution. D. Improving air quality by removing pollutants.
10. What can be inferred about the government’s restoration measures?
A. They removed all invasive species. B. They integrated wetlands into urban life.
C. They prioritized economy over ecology. D. They relocated communities over wetlands.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. How a Walk Saved a Wetland B. Colombo: A City Built on Wetlands
C. The Future of Sri Lanka’s Waterways D. Wetlands: From Wasteland to Lifeline
D
On a hot summer day, a cold drink is a welcome treat. But the cooling technology behind it comes at a cost. Traditional refrigerators use gases called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are powerful contributors to global warming. Finding a better way has long been an unsolved problem. Now, scientists have developed a new cooling method that may change this.
Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released a technique called ionocaloric (离子热) cooling. As the name suggests, it uses ions — charged particles (带电粒子) — to create a cooling effect. The idea builds on a simple physical process and theoretical modeling: melting takes heat. You’ve seen this on a winter road — salt on ice causes it to melt, even in freezing temperatures. The ionocaloric cycle also uses salt to change a liquid’s state and cool its surroundings.
Through modeling, the team predicted that moving ions could change a material’s melting point, allowing it to absorb heat on demand. To test this prediction, scientists mixed a salt — sodium iodide — into a liquid, ethylene carbonate (EC,碳酸乙烯酯). When a small electric current was applied, the salt ions moved, which changed the melting point of the liquid, causing it to melt. As the liquid melted, it absorbed heat, cooling the space like melting ice. The team measured a temperature drop of 25℃ with less than one volt — outperforming other similar technologies.
These results point to a bigger story. The system balances efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Early tests show promise in all three. One reason is the working liquid, EC, can be made from CO2, meaning the system could be carbon-negative — it avoids harm and helps clean up. “The ionocaloric cycle has the potential to meet all these goals,” said Drew Lilley, the leading engineer.
If successful, this technology could help nations meet the goals of the Kigali Amendment, which aims to cut HFC use by 80%. Now, researchers face the next challenge: moving the technology from the lab to the real world. With further development, these systems could one day provide both cooling and heating — without harming the planet.
12. What is the principle of the ionocaloric cooling?
A. Salt lowers the freezing point of water.
B. Expanding gas can produce cooling.
C. Electricity can generate heat in materials.
D. Melting absorbs heat from surroundings.
13. How did researchers test their prediction?
A. By reducing the amount of HFCs.
B. By measuring CO2 in the atmosphere.
C. By conducting current in a salt-containing liquid.
D. By monitoring real-time winter road conditions.
14. Why does the author stress EC can be made from CO2?
A. To state how the system cuts HFCs.
B. To prove the system can save electricity.
C. To explain how the system brings cooling effect.
D. To show the system can help ease global warming.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards ionocaloric cooling?
A. Ambiguous. B. Appreciative. C. Cautious. D. Doubtful.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Air travel has become a routine part of modern life. ____16____ If you’re planning on being one of them soon, you might not be looking forward to the unpleasant feeling air travel often leaves you with.
____17____ Although the pressure of the cabin is adjusted to prevent altitude sickness, you could still experience sleepiness or a headache. The lower oxygen pressure found in an aircraft cabin is equivalent to that at 6,000—8,000 feet of altitude. A drop in oxygen pressure can cause headaches in certain individuals. To help prevent headaches, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol and coffee.
____18____ The air you breathe in a plane dries out your mouth and nose, which can affect your sense of taste. Perception of sweet and salty foods dropped by almost 30 percent in a simulation (模拟) of air travel. ____19____ A dry mouth may reduce taste sensitivity, but taste is restored by drinking fluids.
Although in-flight infections thrive in dry environments like airplanes, your risk of getting sick from an airplane is actually low because of the air filters used. ____20____ The main concern arises when you are seated near someone exhibiting cold or flu symptoms. For further protection, keep in mind that bacteria can survive on cabin surfaces, so regular hand-washing is recommended.
A. You may worry about getting sick in it.
B. Millions of people travel by plane every single day.
C. Travelling at a high altitude has real effects on the body.
D. It still comes with a wide range of physical discomforts.

47. 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。
At the library, Nate Jasper noticed a sign for the “First Annual Highland Drawing Contest.” It asked for artwork showing the unique beauty of their town. Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added.
Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself.
But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?”
Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!”
“Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.”
Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.”
The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold.
“There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly.
Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm.
