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
With such a rich artistic history, it's no wonder that England offers world-class art galleries that truly stand out. Here are some you won't want to miss.
Brighton Artist Space(BAS), Brighton
Unlike a typical museum, the Brighton Artist Space is run by working artists. Its mission goes beyond art appreciation—— it actively encourages artistic creation. The gallery is well known for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. What really makes it unique, though, is how it invites visitors to take part in hands-on activities, offering creative experiences that let people become part of the art itself.
Coastal Sculpture Field, East Sussex
Breaking away from traditional indoor viewing, the Coastal Sculpture Field removes barriers by placing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set across hundreds of acres of countryside in East Sussex, the site allows visitors to walk freely among huge sculptures that sit against the rolling hills and wide sky.
Lakeside Gallery, Birmingham
Following a major £20 million renovation, the Lakeside Gallery has become one of the top art destinations in England. Making great use of its scenic park surroundings, the space features a lovely art garden and an outdoor viewing area waiting to be discovered. The artworks, created by well-known artists, are replaced from time to time, so each visit gives a fresh experience.
21. What makes BAS different from other museums?
A. It promotes the appreciation of art. B. It hosts world-famous exhibitions.
C. It operates with experienced artists. D. It provides interactive experiences.
22. What do the last two galleries have in common?
A. They are newly updated. B. They are in rural settings.
C. They offer outdoor space. D. They feature changing shows.
23. Where is the text probably taken from?
A.A travel journal. B. An online notice.
C. A travel brochure. D. An online review.
B
When Ana Chen was growing up in her grandparents’ restaurant in San Francisco’ s Chinatown, she never imagined she would one day become a lawyer.“My parents always told me the restaurant was temporary,” she recalls with a laugh.“They wanted me to aim higher.”
But Chen never forgot the smells-the ginger and garlic, the steaming baskets of dumplings, the constant hum of conversation in Cantonese and Toisanese. More than just a place to eat, her grandparents’ restaurant was a community gathering spot, a place where new immigrants found jobs and advice. When Chen learned that Chinatown's oldest restaurant, the 115-year-old Golden Dragon, was shutting down due to rising rents and a changing population, she felt a deep sense of loss.
That moment changed her course. After graduating from law school, Chen founded the Chinatown Legacy Business Initiative, a nonprofit that provides free legal services to help businesses that are run by families to work out rent agreements, deal with city rules, and apply for preservation funding,“Every time we save a restaurant, we preserve not just a business but an entire ecosystem,” Chen explains.“These places are where our stories are shared, where young people learn their first words in our dialects.”
Chen's fight has historical roots. Chinatown itself is the oldest one in North America, spanning 30city blocks and home to tens of thousands of residents. After the destructive 1906 earthquake and fire that destroyed 80% of the city, many white San Franciscans saw an opportunity to displace the neighborhood forever. Instead, Chinatown was reconstructed—— not without conflict, but with remarkable power. Dr. Dafeng Xu’ s research reveals a striking contradiction: while Chinese Americans were often criticized for not fitting into local culture. built-in barriers made that very process nearly impossible.
Today, Chen's organization has helped save seven businesses in three years.“Some people say we should let these old businesses go, that change is unavoidable,” Chen says.“But I tell them: when you know why a place matters, you’ ll do whatever it takes to keep it alive.”
24. What made Chen change her life path?
A. A food memory. B. Her parents' wish.
C. Her law school life. D. The restaurant's closing.
25. What does the Chinatown Legacy Business Initiative offer?
A. Funds for local shop owners. B. Legal help for restaurant owners.
C. Support for language learning. D. Guidance for restaurant services.
26. According to Dr. Xu, why did the residents fail to fit into local culture?
A They chose on their own not to adapt. B. They had a small fixed area to live in.
C. They met strong resistance from society. D. They preferred to keep their own traditions.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Business Plan: Making a Modern Restaurant
B. A Lawyer's Mission: Keeping Chinatown's Roots
C. A Community's Effort: Saving Its Own Traditions
D. A Fresh Start: Rebuilding Chinatown After Disaster

While poor air quality is widely known to damage our lungs, recent scientific findings suggest it could also explain why an increasing number of children need glasses. Scientists have discovered that youngsters tend to maintain healthier vision in environments with reduced air pollutants.
The researchers focus specifically on myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. It has truly become a severe health crisis across East Asia. In China, for example, over 80% of adolescents suffer from this vision issue by the time they graduate from high school. Furthermore,10% of teens experience extreme nearsightedness.
Historically, genetics, routines, and diet were considered primary causes.“However, our latest research confirms a direct connection between air pollution and childhood myopia,” notes Zongbo Shi from the University of Birmingham. His team examined comprehensive personal, medical, and environmental data—— including smog levels—— from nearly 30,000 students in Tianjin, China.
But exactly what happens to youngsters’ eyes when they breathe in polluted air? Paul Foster, an eye specialist at University College London, explains the potential mechanism.“Exposure to toxic air might lead to the narrowing of blood vessels within the retina (视网膜)——— the crucial layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyeball,” he says. Consequently, this physical change significantly increases the likelihood of youngsters developing nearsightedness.
Admittedly, this research has certain limitations. For instance, it depended heavily on self-reported data, which can sometimes be unreliable. Moreover, scientists measured pollution exposure based on air quality around campuses, ignoring the fact that children don't remain at school all day, much less on weekends. Nevertheless, the investigation offers a promising direction for protecting youngsters' eyesight.Ultimately, breathing purer air might just mean sharper vision for children globally.
28. What causes nearsightedness in children according to the new study?
A. Lack of a proper diet. B. Improper use of eyes.
C. Exposure to air pollution. D. Problems with genetics.
29. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress the urgency of the issue. B. To compare the vision of the youth.
C. To prove the cause of poor eyesight. D. To explain the process of vision loss.
30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What causes nearsightedness in children. B. What leads to the problems in the retina.
C. How sensitive children are to air pollution. D. How air pollution causes nearsightedness.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the study?
A. Favorable. B. Critical. C Unclear. D. Doubtful.

In a crowded subway, Alaina Demopoulos was immersed in her book when a passenger's ironic comment broke her concentration,“I wish I had your confidence doing this in public.” While Demopoulos's engagement was genuine, the comment highlighted a widespread trend: performative reading——acts of public reading motivated not by simple personal enjoyment, but by a desire for intentional social display.
“You can still observe people reading physical books on subway,” says Emily Foster, a cultural analyst at the Urban Communication Institute.“But our recent study shows that 68% of commuters(通勤者) choose to read in part for how it might be seen by others.” This behavior, she explains, is driven by the influence of social media, which encourages individuals to increasingly curate their personal image in every public place. In this trend, a book, traditionally a source of knowledge, becomes a carefully picked fashion item, allowing readers to silently present their interests and cultural preferences,even though the primary motivation may often be an urge to appear smart and cultured.
However, this public performance of reading still generates measurable social benefits.“Simply seeing people engage with serious books in public makes reading seem more common and accepted,”noted Foster, who views this return of print books to public spaces as a positive development. This increased visibility not only promotes conversations about literature but also leads to more book recommendations among commuters, creating informal learning opportunities and finally fostering a broader cultural appreciation for reading throughout the community.
Last month, a non-profit organization placed public service advertisements in over 20 subway stations, aiming to inspire passengers to“Dive into a Book”. For those inspired to begin their own public reading journey, the key is simply to focus on personal growth rather than public performance. By choosing material they genuinely enjoy, readers can find a balance between personal satisfaction and the identity they wish to show.
32. When does a person engage in performative reading?
A. When reading for personal enjoyment. B. When aiming to impress others publicly.
C. When choosing to read during travel time. D. When showing genuine engagement in reading.
33. Which word can best replace the underlined word“curate” in Paragraph 2?
A. Shape. B. Mask. C. Simplify. D Monitor.
34. How does Emily Foster view the public reading trend?
A. She sees it as a problematic act in public.
B. She recognizes its valuable social impact.
C. She stresses personal reading satisfaction.
D. She views it as a sign of spreading personal image
35. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph?
A. Choose books according to their popularity.
B. Put inner fulfillment before social impression.
C. Balance personal growth with public performance.
D. Read books recommended by non-profit organizations.

Spacesuits? Ready. Oxygen tanks? Ready. Water supplies? Ready. But wait, is there anything missing? Of course, food! When sending astronauts into the deep space, we must also pack their meals.However, how do they manage their diet in a zero-gravity environment? 36
To begin with, nutrition is always the top priority. 37 Offering them junk food like potato chips or sweet sodas would only harm their bodies and ruin the mission.
38 If the meals provided taste terrible or remain the same day after day, astronauts might lose their interest in food and refuse to eat. Anyone who has tried to focus on a difficult task on an empty stomach knows how hard it is. That is why space scientists try their best to make sure astronauts eat well and regularly.
Additionally, the weightless environment inside a spacecraft creates special requirements for space food. Food must be sealed tightly to prevent it from floating around. Loose liquids or small pieces of food could easily get into important instruments and cause serious damage. 39 Imagine a sharp knife floating freely in the cabin; it could easily hurt someone.
Finally, the total weight is another key factor. Every single gram on a spacecraft must be carefully measured to save fuel during the long journey. 40 Instead, most space food is dried and packed in lightweight bags. When it is time for dinner, astronauts simply add hot water into the bags to bring the food back to life.
Despite these strict rules, space food today is not as strange as you might think, and many dishes are quite similar to what we enjoy at home.
A. Flavor and variety cannot be ignored either.
B. It requires experts to consider several key factors.
C. This is also why dangerous items are strictly limited.
D. The solution lies in balancing nutrition and practicality.
E. Fresh food with much water is unsuitable for spacecraft.
F. It is a great challenge to make space food taste delicious.
G. Eating healthy food keeps the astronauts in good condition.
