阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Few figures are as deeply connected with a city as Antoni Gaudi is with
Barcelona.His expressive,nature-inspired,and original architecture has come to
define the city's style.Below is a selection of Gaudi's most remarkable buildings.
Casa Vicens
Casa Vicens is Gaudi's first major work in Barcelona and a UNESCO World
Heritage Site.Designed as a summer villa for a rich businessman,it combines
Gothic(哥特式的),Moorish.,and Art Nouveau styles..The outside wall is covered
with colorful brick patterns,while the inside features plant-inspired columns and
bright ceilings.This early project already shows Gaudi's love of nature,vivid colors,
and creative use of local materials.
La Sagrada Familia
Construction of La Sagrada Familia began in 1882,funded by public donations.
When the original architect resigned,the 31-year-old Gaudi took over.Every outside
wall is like a detailed artwork covered with sculptures.The central pointed structure
rises to 172.5 meters,making it the world's tallest church.The church remains
Barcelona's most visited attraction.
Park Guiell
When industrialist Eusebi Guiell wanted to create a garden city for Barcelona's
aristocracy ()he asked Gaudi to design a park to help him sell villas.In the end,
only two houses were built,and only one sold-to none other than Gaudi himself.
As a property project,Park Guiell was a failure.As a city icon and tourist attraction,
though,it succeeded brilliantly.
Casa Mila and Casa Batll6
Gaudi made his influence clear through both Casa Mila and Casa Batllo.The
former was his final major project,whose flowing curves,complex metal details and
twisting chimneys showcase his distinctive artistic brilliance.Gaudi redesigned Casa
Batllo for aristocrat Josep Batllo.Its dragon-crest roof,shark-bone balconies and
bony floors earned it the nickname"House of Bones".

More than two decades ago,a simple message in a bottle drifted (across
the ocean and brought two strangers together in the most unexpected way.
Back in 2001,Diane Charles was taking one of her usual morning walks along
a beach in Stanley,.Tasmania,a barnacle-covered(布满藤壶的)bottle rolling in the
waves caught her eyes.Curious,she picked it up and found a note inside.
The message written in Spanish wasn't easy to understand at first.With the
help of a scholar,she decoded it:"Life has taught me that all is possible.Receive
love,and success is second to this."
But the most important clues were easy to spot:a name,a Colombian address,
and a fax number.Those details led Charles to Erika Boyero,a woman from
Colombia who had thrown the bottle into the sea four years earlier.
In 1997,Boyero was a bar waitress on a ship traveling through the Nordic
countries.One evening,bored and looking for something fun to do,she wrote
several notes,sealed them in empty bottles,and threw them overboard.Then she
forgot all about them.
Years later,her father surprised her with unexpected news."Hey,you received
a fax from Australia,"he told her.Boyero was shocked,"What?I don't know
anyone in Australia."
Eventually,it clicked-the bottles.

What started as a mysterious ocean message soon turned into a long-distance
friendship.For the next 25 years,Charles and Boyero stayed in touch,sharing life
updates and milestones-from the birth of children to Boyero's move to Germany.
Recently,their story gained a new chapter.While traveling in Kuala Lumpur,
Boyero called Charles with an idea:she wanted to fly to Tasmania so the two could
finally meet in person.When Boyero arrived,the two embraced like long lost
friends.
Looking back,Boyero says the early translation of her message was just what
she originally wrote."Life has taught me that all is possible."
24.What helped Diane Charles get in touch with Erika Boyero?
A.A scholar's personal introduction.
B.The record of passengers on a ship.
C.The contact information on the note.
D.Unexpected news from a bar waitress.
25.What did Erika Boyero do with the bottles in 1997?
A.She dropped them for fun.
B.She kept them as presents.
C.She mailed them to Australia
D.She sent them to find new friends.
26.What does the underlined part"it clicked"in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A.It dawned on her.
B.It dialed the number.
C.It disappeared slowly.
D.It made a sharp noise.
27.What can we learn from the story?

China on Monday successfully launched the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft
from the Wenchang Space Launch Site,carrying not only supplies for the
Chinese space station,but also a pioneering study on the development of"artificial
embryos ()"in space.The mission marks the world's first attempt to investigate
how embryo-like structures develop under real microgravity and universal radiation
conditions.
Tianzhou-10 carried 67 scientific items weighing more than 768 kilograms to
support 41 space science experiments.These projects include life sciences,
biotechnology,microgravity physics,astronomy,and Earth science.Among them,
the embryo experiment has drawn particular attention.
Yu Leqian,the artificial embryo project's manager,explained that real human
embryos are extremely difficult to obtain for large-scale scientific research.Artificial
embryos are structures constructed from stem cells that closely look like real
embryos.They are not true embryos and cannot develop into an individual human
being,but they help study early human embryonic development.
According to Yu,the embryo models used in the experiment correspond
roughly to a crucial stage of human development between days 14 and 21 after
fertilization )It is an extremely important developmental window.Within just
a few days,the early forms of all organs begin to develop.Many early
development-related diseases,such as deformities and born heart disease,are closely
associated with this period.The goal of the research is to understand how gravity
shapes life itself and what effects space conditions may have on this critical process.
During the mission,the artificial embryos will develop for five days aboard the
station under the monitoring of Chinese astronauts.Automated systems will replace
nutrient solutions daily.Samples will be frozen in orbit and later returned to Earth
for detailed laboratory analysis.
"This is our first attempt to answer whether humans can survive and reproduce
in space.I hope the answer will be yes,"Yu said.

B.They are widely used in space research.
C.They are an alternative to real embryos.
D.They are able to grow into human beings.
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

The Great Salt Lake is a ticking environmental bomb.It has lost 73%of its
volume and is likely to collapse within the next 5 years,releasing dust loaded with
poisonous amounts of mercury(汞),arsenic(砷),and selenium(硒)downwind,
where 2.5 million people live.Ellis'new documentary,The Lake,which won a
Special Jury Award,follows three individuals-two scientists and a state
official-who see the upcoming disaster and are fighting to save the lake.
The Great Salt Lake is North America's largest terminal lake-a lake into
which water flows but none leaves,except through evaporation ()The lake and
its wetlands provide food and habitat for 10 million migratory birds and wildlife,
support the local economy,and protect local air and water quality and weather.
However,like all terminal lakes,it is highly sensitive to climate change and water
shifts.Human water usage-74%by local farmers-is the main water loss on The
Great Salt Lake.

Microbiologist Baxter,her colleague Abbott,and state official Steed develop a
joint strategic plan for saving the lake.The film follows the daily painstaking work
of these three supporters as they talk with local community members.
A surprising and reflective theme of the film is the crossing of environmental
concerns and faith.Nearly 50%of the Salt Lake City community are members of the
Church of Jesus Christ.They believe that"God is in charge,When he is ready to fill
the lake,it will be filled."For them,faith is motivating.
While Baxter and Abbott both work tirelessly to save the lake,they struggle to
balance their work as scientists and public supporters.For them,"Science is the
most powerful tool to identify reliable truth about what is going on in the earth's
system,but science can't determine what we do with that truth."
The Lake is a quietly fascinating film that will hopefully inspire the Salt Lake
community and the governor to find a way to get water quickly into the lake to save
it from collapse.This film provides hope that scientists can work with communities
to provide solutions.
32.What is the direct environmental danger if the Great Salt Lake collapses?
A.Wetlands disappearing in the local areas.
B.Extreme weather affecting nearby cities.
C.The improvement of local air and water quality.
D.The release of dust with poisonous heavy metals
33.What affects local people's attitude toward the lake crisis most?
A.Their religious beliefs.
B.Their daily habits.
C.Their job backgrounds.
D.Their economic needs
34.What do Baxter and Abbott think of science?
A.It can help balance their work and faith
B.It lacks the power to recognize reliable truth.
C.It can stop disasters from happening on the earth.
D.It is insufficient to guide human actions in the crisis.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.A documentary:a tool to predict the disaster
B.The upcoming collapse of the Great Salt Lake
C.The Great Salt Lake:A Unique Natural Attraction
D.The effect of climate change on the Great Salt Lake

How to boost your memory
There are only two certainties in life:death and forgetting.36
But with
the following strategies-and a bit of effort-you can tackle some of life's trickiest
memory challenges.
Use meaning
We can be terrible at remembering new information such as names,and yet
effortlessly bring to mind personally meaningful information.If you're a football fan,
you might find you naturally remember facts about your team's newly signed player
but struggle to recall the name of a new colleague.37 Try to associate
names with distinctive features,such as "double-chin Dave".
Use your imagination
There is massive overlap(重叠)between the brain's circuitry(神经回路)for
memory and imagination.Perhaps you are at work and realize that today is your
wedding anniversary,and want to remember to buy a gift for your partner on your
way home.Imagine your future self riding the train,passing a lavender (
farm.
38 The act of imagining this series of events will plant a vivid
memory in your brain,and later,when you are actually on your way home,that
memory will come back to life,reminding you to run out to the store.
Make mistakes
When learning a word in a foreign language,people will focus on the right
answer-for instance,by reading the word and its meaning aloud.
39
Most of the time your guess will be wrong,but those wrong guesses can be the best
way to make the right answer stick.
40 It is likely that you will remember only a small part of your life
experiences.Ask,"What do I want to remember?"Answer that question and the rest
will be easy.
A.So take a deep breath and trust the process.
B.Those purple flowers remind you to get some flowers.
C.To conclude,it's important to remember with intention.
D.Why not memorize the words after knowing their meanings?
E.What if you tried to guess the meaning before you learn the right answer?
F.With more meanings and fun facts,you can remember names more easily.
G.Forgetfulness can leave us feeling embarrassed,frustrated,even frightened.

The room was buried under piles of books,broken boxes,and nameless objects.
"All right,"Helena said."Today's the day.Where shall we begin?"
"I like it this way,"John,her little brother,protested."I think I'll just go out
and practice a few shots-"He picked up a basketball,catching her eyes and
backing off.Helena stopped him and asked him to help,and he sighed helplessly.
The older boys had already gone back to boarding school,leaving John still at
home,and Helena was determined to do a cleaning job on his room."Any amount of
this stuff can be thrown away,"she said,and then,glancing at the chaos,"I can't see
where to start..”
"Then don't.I can see where everything is,"said John.When asked about his
colored inks,John proudly lifted a box under the bed,only to let marbles (roll
everywhere.
They set to work.Helena soon amassed (two piles and delighted herself
in the excitement of throwing things away."Now give me ten more things I can
throw away,”she said,.“and then you can go out.”
John moved quickly about the room and handed her a few objects,including a
mechanical rabbit.
"Oh,"she said,doubtfully."Do you want to throw him away?"
The rabbit had been hers during childhood.She wound the key between its
shoulder blades;its ears shook,but its legs did not move.
"He hasn't walked for years,"John said,impatient."I never saw him walk.If
you're so crazy as to throw things away,throw him away."
She set the rabbit on the table and sighed."Rabbit!Run along,now.I have
everything under control."
An hour later,the room was completely in order."Now if he'll just keep it this
way,”she murmured(嘟囔).“He'll get terrible marks for the chaos at boarding
school when he-"At these words,she felt a sinking fear.In three years,John would
leave for boarding school and return like a stranger.
