California city.It is proving to be a costly project.One of the trash cans under consideration cost more than $20,000 and took four years to make. San Francisco began its search for the perfect public trash can in 2018.Officials decided it was time to replace the more than 3,000 cans that have served the city's streets for almost 20 years.The current trash cans open too widely,they say, permitting people to reach in.The cans also break a lot,requiring repairs.Sometimes people push them over or mark them with words and pictures. Sometimes,the cans are set on fire. Last month,the city deployed 15 made-to- order trash cans and 11 off-the-shelf trash cans. Attached to each was a QR code from which people could answer questions about the individual can. The city government project also created interactive maps so people can find the different models to consider.The so-called Soft Square model trash can was priced at 20,900,making it the most expensive model on the streets.It is made of light steel.A press of a pedal opens the can for hands-free operation.It has dividers so waste can be separated from materials for recycling,like aluminum and glass. City officials say,however,that the government will not pay more than three thousand per can once a model is chosen for mass production.Beth Rubenstein is a spokeswoman for San Francisco's Department of Public Works."We live in a beautiful city,and we want the trash can)to be functional and cost- effective,but it needs to be beautiful,she said. But the good looks of the shiny new trash cans have not protected them from vandalism and other disrespect.Three weeks after being deployed, several are overflowing,or covered in orange and white graffiti or dirty from coffee spills.Diane Torkelson volunteers on a team that removes trash from the streets near her home.She recently visited three of the proposed trash cans.Two were already full when the group arrived to inspect them,she said."If the trash can is full,it's of no use,no matter how well it was designed,she said. 1.Why did San Francisco decide to replace the existing trash cans?

B (2026·湖南邵阳联考) Antarctica,the southernmost continent on Earth and a frozen continent,remains a mysterious and original land,buried in ice and surrounded by a vast,inhospitable ocean,which is often shrouded (in mystery and intrigue.It holds a wealth of scientific wonders waiting to be explored.With the aid of cutting-edge technology,researchers have delved into its icy depths,uncovering the secrets of this remote and pristine(原始的)wilderness. At the forefront of Antarctic exploration are advanced satellite imaging systems.These orbiting wonders provide detailed maps of the continent's surface,allowing scientists to monitor changes in ice coverage and track the movements of glaciers with unprecedented accuracy.Such data is crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change on Antarctica's delicate ecosystem and predicting future sea-level rise. In addition to satellites,autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs)play a key role in Antarctic research. These robotic submarines are equipped with an array of sensors and cameras,enabling them to navigate beneath the ice shelves and explore previously inaccessible regions.By collecting data on water temperature,salinity,and marine life,AUVs offer invaluable insights into the dynamics of Antarctic Ocean currents and the habitats of its unique marine species. Furthermore,drones have revolutionized scientific fieldwork in Antarctica.These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)are utilized for conducting aerial surveys of vast ice sheets and capturing high- resolution imagery of remote locations.By providing researchers with real-time data and imagery,drones facilitate rapid assessments of environmental changes and aid in the study of wildlife populations,from penguins to seals. Despite the remarkable advancements in technology, conducting research in Antarctica remains a huge challenge due to its extreme weather conditions and remote location.However,through cooperative efforts and innovative approaches,scientists continue to push the boundaries of exploration,uncovering the mysteries of Antarctica and advancing our understanding of the Earth's climate system. 5.What technology is primarily used for monitoring changes in ice coverage in Antarctica? A.Drones. B.Submersible robots. C.Satellite imaging systems. D.Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). 6.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A.Exploring and research on Antarctica is an easy task. B.Scientific fieldwork in Antarctica is hard to continue. C.Drones play a significant part in scientific fieldwork in Antarctica. D.AUVs capture high-resolution imagery of remote locations. 7.What's the author's attitude towards the research in Antarctica? A.Objective. B.Subjective. C.Suspicious. D.Indifference. 8.What would be the most suitable title for the text? A.The Challenges of Antarctic Exploration B.Traditional Methods of Antarctic Research C.The Environmental Impact of Satellite Imaging D.The Technological Wonders of Exploring Antarctica Ⅱ.七选五 (2026·浙江省杭州第二中学新高考模拟) Many people's mood goes slightly down as the days are getting shorter.Even if you don't suffer from SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder )-also called winter depression-you might feel different than just a few weeks ago.
