阅读下面三名学生的求助需求以及四种课外科普与社会实践项目的介绍，为每位学生选择最合适的选项（有一个多余选项）。

 

阅读下列三篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

B

On a freezing winter night in the Rocky Mountains, a sudden blizzard trapped two experienced hikers deep inside a mountain canyon. Heavy snowfall made ground search impossible, while thick fog prevented traditional rescue helicopters from taking off. The local mountain rescue team faced a race against time as temperatures dropped far below zero.

Fourteen-year-old Liam, a student volunteer with the local search team, proposed an innovative solution. Liam had spent the past year building customized quadcopter drones equipped with high-resolution thermal cameras (热成像摄像头) capable of detecting human body heat through dense forest canopy and falling snow.

With the team leader's permission, Liam launched two thermal drones into the stormy sky. Controlling the drones remotely from the rescue command vehicle, he monitored real-time infrared video feeds on his screen. Within forty-five minutes, one drone detected a small heat signal near a rock shelter three miles up the canyon.

Liam transmitted the exact GPS coordinates to ground rescuers, who navigated through a safe lower pass to reach the hikers. Both individuals were rescued safely and treated for mild hypothermia. Liam's life-saving technology demonstrated that youth innovation, combined with dedication, can play a vital role in modern search-and-rescue operations.

24. Why couldn't traditional rescue helicopters take off during the winter night?

A. They ran out of fuel during earlier missions.

B. Thick fog and a severe blizzard made flying unsafe.

C. The mountain canyon was too narrow for large aircraft.

D. Ground rescuers had already found the trapped hikers.

25. How did Liam's customized drones locate the trapped hikers in the dark?

A. By broadcasting high-decibel alarm sirens across the canyon.

B. By dropping glowing flare markers along the mountain path.

C. By using thermal cameras to detect human body heat through snow.

D. By following scent trails marked by trained rescue dogs.

26. How long did it take for Liam's drone to detect the heat signal?

A. Fifteen minutes.

B. Forty-five minutes.

C. Two hours.

D. Three days.

27. What is the main theme of Liam's story?

A. Hiking in extreme winter weather should be banned entirely.

B. Youth innovation and technology can save lives in critical rescues.

C. Drones will completely replace human rescue teams in the future.

D. Helicopters remain the only reliable tool for mountain search operations.

C

For centuries, plants were viewed as passive organisms incapable of rapid communication. However, groundbreaking research in plant neurobiology reveals that flora possess sophisticated underground signaling networks. Trees and plants continuously exchange vital information about pest attacks, drought, and nutrient availability using electrochemical signals (电化学信号) and volatile organic compounds.

The primary highway for this underground communication is the "Wood Wide Web"—an intricate network formed by mycorrhizal fungi (真菌根网) connecting plant roots across forests. When a caterpillar attacks an oak tree's leaves, the tree immediately sends electrical warnings through these fungal threads to neighboring trees. Upon
