阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Have you ever wondered why your smartphone’s battery dies faster in cold weather? The answer lies in the chemical reactions inside the battery. Batteries generate power through chemical reactions. Low temperatures slow down these reactions, which means the battery cannot release energy as efficiently as it does at room temperature. That is why you might see your phone’s battery percentage drop from 20% to 5% in minutes when you are outdoors in winter. Most lithium-ion batteries work best at around 20°C to 25°C. Below zero degrees, a battery’s capacity can temporarily decrease by 20% or more. Another factor is that cold weather causes the phone’s screen and internal components to become slightly stiffer, requiring more power to function. To protect your device, experts suggest keeping your phone in an inside pocket close to your body heat. Some people think that charging their phone immediately after coming in from the cold is good, but in fact, you should let the phone warm up to room temperature first to avoid internal damage. As battery technology continues to improve, future phones may not be so sensitive to temperature changes.
1. Why do phone batteries drain quickly in cold weather?
A. Because the screen gets bigger. B. Because chemical reactions slow down.
C. Because the phone makes more calls. D. Because the weather is too dry.
2. At what temperature do lithium-ion batteries perform best?
A. Below 0°C. B. Around 20°C to 25°C.
C. Above 35°C. D. Around 15°C.
3. What does the underlined word “stiffer” mean in the passage?
A. Softer. B. Harder to move. C. Cheaper. D. Warmer.
4. What is the correct thing to do when bringing a cold phone indoors?
A. Charge it immediately. B. Heat it with a hair dryer.
C. Wait for it to warm up naturally. D. Turn it off forever.
5. How much might a battery’s capacity drop below zero degrees?
A. By 5% only. B. By 50% or more.
C. By 20% or more. D. It does not change.
6. What can be the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Smartphones. B. How to Save Battery Life in Winter.
C. Why Batteries Hate Cold Weather. D. Lithium-ion Battery Production.

Space tourism is no longer just a dream. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have successfully sent civilians into space, allowing people to experience weightlessness and see the Earth from above. However, a ticket for such a trip currently costs millions of dollars, making it accessible only to the super-rich. The journey typically lasts about 10 to 15 minutes in zero gravity, but the training takes several days. During the training, passengers learn how to handle the immense forces during launch and landing. One of the biggest concerns about space tourism is its environmental impact. A single rocket launch releases about 300 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the high atmosphere, which is more than an average car would produce in two hundred years of driving. Scientists are worried that if space flights become routine, they could seriously damage the ozone layer. Despite these concerns, supporters argue that it pushes technology forward and inspires young people to pursue careers in science and engineering. The future of the industry depends on developing greener fuels and making the technology more affordable for the public.
Task 1: Answer the following questions based on the passage. (9分)
1. Is space tourism currently cheap or expensive? (1分)

Dear Tom,
I hope this email finds you well. I'd like to share with you a great invention in my eyes—the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell discovered it by accident while doing experiments on electricity. To his surprise, sound could pass through a tube and travel to the other side. This amazing discovery totally changed the way people communicate. Before it was invented, people had to wait for a long time to get a message. Now we can hear each other's voice at once, even across the ocean. It has also saved millions of lives because doctors can give medical advice by telephone in emergencies. In short, the telephone is a valuable invention that brings the world closer together. What do you think of it?
Yours,
Li Hua
