“It's nt unusual fr guests t feel emtinal when they discver the stry behind ur fd,” says Patrick Navis. “Nt t mentin when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting fr these tearful scenes? Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the wner and his team create experimental fd using herbs, rts, flwers and nuts—sme cmmn, thers less s.
Mst f these ingredients(食材) cme frm the Ketelbrek Fd Frest nearby. T the untrained eye, it's like an rdinary wd. But there's ne key difference: everything in it is edible. It was set up in 2009 by Dutch btanist and envirnmentalist Nah Eck as an experiment in slw farming, t see what wuld happen if the right cmbinatin f fd plants were left t grw tgether like a natural frest, withut chemicals.
“It's the first ‘fd frest’ f its kind in Eurpe and we’re ne f the few restaurants arund the wrld cperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have ver 400 different species f edible plants we plan ur menus arund, including sme we previusly knew little abut." He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellw chefs, wrks them int beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining rm hidden in the backstreets f the city,
“T us, fine dining is nt abut the fame f a restaurant, its lcatin, expensive decratin, fancy cking and wine list,”says Navis.“It's abut adding value thrugh creativity and using ingredients nbdy knws f, which are grwn with great attentin.”Hwever, he adds, luxury cking can be abut enhancing everyday ingredients, t.
“When lking at cking in this way, wh can argue that caviar(鱼子酱 ), fr example, is mre valuable than a carrt grwn with specialist knwledge?”
Experimentatin is extremely imprtant t Navis. In the next five years, he hpes t pen an utdr restaurant. But fr nw, the mst imprtant thing is t cntinue fcusing n hw plants are being grwn and the perennial system used in the Fd Frest, reducing the need fr replanting each seasn.
24. What can we learn abut Navis's restaurant?
A. It is well received by its guests.
B. It serves fd with mving stries.
C. It ffers experimental fd fr free.
D. It is knwn fr its rare fd surces.
25. Hw is Ketelbrck Fd Frest different frm rdinary wds?
A. It is a natural frest.
B. Diverse plants cexist in it.
C. Plants there take lnger t grw.
D. It prvides safe fd ingredients.
26. What is the key element f fine dining accrding t Navis?
A. Cnvenient lcatins.
B. Expensive ingredients.
C. Innvative menus.
D. Fancy cking techniques.
27. What des “the perennial system” in the last paragraph prbably refer t?
A. The sustainable farming practice.
B. Farming with prper use f chemicals.
C. Natural farming withut human interventin.
D. An experimental farm fr an utdr restaurant.

Sme peple tday might be early risers because f DNA they take after Neanderthals tens f thusands f years ag, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated frm Africa t Eurasia rughly 70,000 years ag, sme f them mated with Neanderthals, wh had already adapted t the clder, darker climates f the nrth. The ripple(涟漪) effects f that intermating still exist tday: Mdern humans f nn- African ancestry(血统)have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Sme f that DNA relates t sleep mre specifically, the internal bdy clck knwn as the circadian rhythm.
Fr the new study, researchers cmpared DNA frm tday's humans and DNA frm Neanderthal fssils(化石).In bth grups, they fund sme f the same genetic variants invlved with the circadian rhythm. And they fund that mdern humans wh carry these variants als reprted being early risers.
Fr Neanderthals, being “mrning peple” might nt have been the real benefit f carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, mre flexible internal bdy clcks, which allwed them t adjust mre easily t annual changes in daylight. This cnnectin makes sense in the cntext f human histry. When early humans mved nrth ut f Africa, they wuld have experienced variable daylight hurs--shrter days in the winter and lnger days in the summer-fr the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' ffspring(后代)adapt t this new envirnment.
Ntably ,the findings d nt prve that Neanderthal genes are respnsible fr the sleep habits f all early risers. Lts f different factrs beynd genetics can cntribute , including scial and envirnmental influences. The study als nly included DNA frm a database called the U.K. Bibank-s the findings may nt necessarily apply t all mdern humans. Next, the research team hpes t study ther genetic databases t see if the same link hlds true fr peple f ther ancestries. If the findings d apply mre bradly , they may ne day be useful fr imprving sleep in the mdern wrld, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glwing smartphnes.
28.What des the new research fcus n?
A. DNA's dramatic changes.
B. Genes’ influence n early risers.
C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.
D. Ancestrs’ envirnmental adaptability.
29.What is paragraph 2 intended t shw cncerning the new research?
A. Histrical cntext. B. Additinal prf.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying prcess.
30. What is the real benefit f carrying Neanderthal's DNA fr mdern humans?
A .Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily rutines.
C. Being mre flexible in their wrk. D. Pssessing a better circadian rhythm.
31. What can be inferred abut the findings frm the last paragraph?
A. They get prf frm ther studies.
B. They are cnfirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest ptential applicatins.
D. They reveal factrs in sleeping disrders.

“Palace, Muntain, Mn?” has been selected by NASA as the Astrnmical Picture f the Day fr December 25, 2023.
The pht was taken by Valeri, a yung phtgrapher f Turin, Italy. It was sht n the evening f December 15, 2023. While he knew abut NASA’s cmpetitin, he hadn’t cnsidered participating until receiving much encuragement frm his scial media fllwers. Sn after, he received the message, “Yur image has been chsen as the astrnmical pht f the day.” It was incredible!
In a pht like this, nthing is left t luck. The cncept came t him back in 2017. Walking n the hills nrth f Turin, he fund several spts perfect fr including bth the Basilica f Superga Palace and Muntain Mnvis. After numerus visits ver several mnths, he identified fur spts where Superga and Mnvis line up just right.
After pinpinting these lcatins, he experimented with shting them at different times. “I knew I needed smething special t perfect the pht. The Sun was a n-g, s I turned t the Mn. Its varius phases and psitin s reach an azimuth angle (方位角) f 230 degrees,” Valeri said. With this in mind, he researched the Mn’s phases, marked ptential dates n the calendar, and planned the exact mments when the mn culd jin the queue.
It was very successful, especially because the Mn was in a waxing phase. This meant that in the pht, nt nly was its crescent (新月) lit up, but s was the left part, its shadwed side. That part is lit by reflected light, als knwn as Da Vinci’s glw, named after him because he was the ne wh therized abut why the Mn’s shadwed side is brightened. During the early days f the waxing Mn phases, the shadwed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects ff the Earth and hits the Mn’s shadwed side, giving it a greyish, silvery clr. This allwed the light t utline Mnvis n the left as well.
32．Why did Valeri send the pht t NASA?
A．He tk an interest in astrnmical advances.
B．He expected t create an impact n scial media.
C．He received brad supprt frm enthusiastic fans.
D．He wished t make his hmetwn a turist ht spt.
33．In Valeri’s pht, the three bjects ______.
A．shine light n each therB．stand in a straight line
C．fit each ther in sizeD．vary frm usual in clr
34．What did Valeri d t prepare fr the perfect pht?
A．Studying hw the Mn phase changes.B．Calculating the Superga-Mnvis distance.
C．Analyzing when t adjust the camera angle.D．Measuring the height f the bservatin pint.
35．What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glw?
A．The utline f the crescent.B．The utline f Superga.
C．The dark side f the Mn.D．The shadwed side f the Earth.

Walking and Using a Phne is Bad fr Yur Health
Spend time n any crwded sidewalk and yu’ll see heads bent ver and eyes cast dwnward. One recent study f cllege students fund that a quarter f peple crssing intersectins 56 (absrb) in a device. That screen in yur hand isn’t just distracting yur attentin. It als changes yur md, yur manner f walking and etc. — and affects yur ability t get frm pint A t pint B 57 running int truble.
When yu walk and use a phne at the same time, yu autmatically adjust 58 yu mve. Vide ftage f walkers has shwn that peple n phnes walk abut 10 percent slwer than thse undistracted nes. These changes can blck traffic n the sidewalk. And 59 walking makes up a big prtin f yur daily physical activity, walking mre slwly may have impacts fr yur fitness.
Lking dwn at a smartphne while walking can als increase the amunt f frce 60 (place) n the neck and upper back muscles, which culd reduce balance and increase the risk f falls.
It’s nw widely accepted that walking in natural spaces is gd fr yur mental health. It appears that 61 (get) these benefits, it’s imprtant that yur attentin is n the envirnment, rather than n yur phne.
Mst f us understand that walking and using a phne can be risky. Sme cities, like Hnlulu, 62 (pass) laws t cntrl distracted walkers. But research n thse dangers has turned up sme surprises. One study has lked at the cnnectin between “phne-related distracted walking” and emergency department visits. Using gvernment data 63 (extend) ver the years 2011 t 2019, the researchers turned up nearly 30,000 walking injuries ccasined by phnes.
If yu’re distracted by a phne, yu’re definitely putting 64 at sme risk. S hw d yu stay safe? If yu d walk and use yur device at the same time, stp when yu’re arund stairs, crsswalks and messy r uneven grund, 65 accidents are mre likely t ccur.

I was invited t a ckut n an ld friend’s farm in western Washingtn. I parked my car utside the farm and walked past a milking huse which had apparently nt been used in many years. A nise at a windw caught my attentin, s I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying t escape. She was cvered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able t mve her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I lked arund t see hw she had gtten in. The brken windw glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece f clth int the hle and tk her utside, clsing the dr securely behind me.
When I pened my hand, the bird did nt fly away; she sat lking at me with her bright eyes. I remved the sticky spider-webs that cvered her head and wings. Still, she made n attempt t fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the windw t lng and was t tired? Or t thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path tward my car where I kept a water bttle, she began t mve. I stpped, and she sn tk wing but did nt immediately fly away.
Hvering (悬停), she apprached within six inches f my face. Fr a very lng mment, this tiny creature lked int my eyes, turning her head frm side t side. Then she flew quickly ut f sight.
During the ckut, I tld my hsts abut the hummingbird incident. They prmised t fix the windw. As I was departing, my friends walked me t my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew t the center f ur grup and began hvering. She turned frm persn t persn until she came t me. She again lked directly int my eyes, then let ut a squeaking call and was gne. Fr a mment, all were speechless. Then smene said, “She must have cme t say gdbye.”

“It's nt unusual fr guests t feel emtinal when they discver the stry behind ur fd,” says Patrick Navis. “Nt t mentin when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting fr these tearful scenes? Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the wner and his team create experimental fd using herbs, rts, flwers and nuts—sme cmmn, thers less s.
Mst f these ingredients(食材) cme frm the Ketelbrek Fd Frest nearby. T the untrained eye, it's like an rdinary wd. But there's ne key difference: everything in it is edible. It was set up in 2009 by Dutch btanist and envirnmentalist Nah Eck as an experiment in slw farming, t see what wuld happen if the right cmbinatin f fd plants were left t grw tgether like a natural frest, withut chemicals.
“It's the first ‘fd frest’ f its kind in Eurpe and we’re ne f the few restaurants arund the wrld cperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have ver 400 different species f edible plants we plan ur menus arund, including sme we previusly knew little abut." He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellw chefs, wrks them int beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining rm hidden in the backstreets f the city,
“T us, fine dining is nt abut the fame f a restaurant, its lcatin, expensive decratin, fancy cking and wine list,”says Navis.“It's abut adding value thrugh creativity and using ingredients nbdy knws f, which are grwn with great attentin.”Hwever, he adds, luxury cking can be abut enhancing everyday ingredients, t.
“When lking at cking in this way, wh can argue that caviar(鱼子酱 ), fr example, is mre valuable than a carrt grwn with specialist knwledge?”
Experimentatin is extremely imprtant t Navis. In the next five years, he hpes t pen an utdr restaurant. But fr nw, the mst imprtant thing is t cntinue fcusing n hw plants are being grwn and the perennial system used in the Fd Frest, reducing the need fr replanting each seasn.
24. What can we learn abut Navis's restaurant?
A. It is well received by its guests.
B. It serves fd with mving stries.
C. It ffers experimental fd fr free.
D. It is knwn fr its rare fd surces.
25. Hw is Ketelbrck Fd Frest different frm rdinary wds?
A. It is a natural frest.
B. Diverse plants cexist in it.
C. Plants there take lnger t grw.
D. It prvides safe fd ingredients.
26. What is the key element f fine dining accrding t Navis?
A. Cnvenient lcatins.
B. Expensive ingredients.
C. Innvative menus.
D. Fancy cking techniques.
27. What des “the perennial system” in the last paragraph prbably refer t?

Sme peple tday might be early risers because f DNA they take after Neanderthals tens f thusands f years ag, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated frm Africa t Eurasia rughly 70,000 years ag, sme f them mated with Neanderthals, wh had already adapted t the clder, darker climates f the nrth. The ripple(涟漪) effects f that intermating still exist tday: Mdern humans f nn- African ancestry(血统)have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Sme f that DNA relates t sleep mre specifically, the internal bdy clck knwn as the circadian rhythm.
Fr the new study, researchers cmpared DNA frm tday's humans and DNA frm Neanderthal fssils(化石).In bth grups, they fund sme f the same genetic variants invlved with the circadian rhythm. And they fund that mdern humans wh carry these variants als reprted being early risers.
Fr Neanderthals, being “mrning peple” might nt have been the real benefit f carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, mre flexible internal bdy clcks, which allwed them t adjust mre easily t annual changes in daylight. This cnnectin makes sense in the cntext f human histry. When early humans mved nrth ut f Africa, they wuld have experienced variable daylight hurs--shrter days in the winter and lnger days in the summer-fr the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' ffspring(后代)adapt t this new envirnment.
Ntably ,the findings d nt prve that Neanderthal genes are respnsible fr the sleep habits f all early risers. Lts f different factrs beynd genetics can cntribute , including scial and envirnmental influences. The study als nly included DNA frm a database called the U.K. Bibank-s the findings may nt necessarily apply t all mdern humans. Next, the research team hpes t study ther genetic databases t see if the same link hlds true fr peple f ther ancestries. If the findings d apply mre bradly , they may ne day be useful fr imprving sleep in the mdern wrld, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glwing smartphnes.
28.What des the new research fcus n?
A. DNA's dramatic changes.
B. Genes’ influence n early risers.
C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.
D. Ancestrs’ envirnmental adaptability.
29.What is paragraph 2 intended t shw cncerning the new research?
A. Histrical cntext. B. Additinal prf.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying prcess.
30. What is the real benefit f carrying Neanderthal's DNA fr mdern humans?
A .Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily rutines.
C. Being mre flexible in their wrk. D. Pssessing a better circadian rhythm.
31. What can be inferred abut the findings frm the last paragraph?
A. They get prf frm ther studies.
B. They are cnfirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest ptential applicatins.

“Palace, Muntain, Mn?” has been selected by NASA as the Astrnmical Picture f the Day fr December 25, 2023.
The pht was taken by Valeri, a yung phtgrapher f Turin, Italy. It was sht n the evening f December 15, 2023. While he knew abut NASA’s cmpetitin, he hadn’t cnsidered participating until receiving much encuragement frm his scial media fllwers. Sn after, he received the message, “Yur image has been chsen as the astrnmical pht f the day.” It was incredible!
In a pht like this, nthing is left t luck. The cncept came t him back in 2017. Walking n the hills nrth f Turin, he fund several spts perfect fr including bth the Basilica f Superga Palace and Muntain Mnvis. After numerus visits ver several mnths, he identified fur spts where Superga and Mnvis line up just right.
After pinpinting these lcatins, he experimented with shting them at different times. “I knew I needed smething special t perfect the pht. The Sun was a n-g, s I turned t the Mn. Its varius phases and psitin s reach an azimuth angle (方位角) f 230 degrees,” Valeri said. With this in mind, he researched the Mn’s phases, marked ptential dates n the calendar, and planned the exact mments when the mn culd jin the queue.
It was very successful, especially because the Mn was in a waxing phase. This meant that in the pht, nt nly was its crescent (新月) lit up, but s was the left part, its shadwed side. That part is lit by reflected light, als knwn as Da Vinci’s glw, named after him because he was the ne wh therized abut why the Mn’s shadwed side is brightened. During the early days f the waxing Mn phases, the shadwed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects ff the Earth and hits the Mn’s shadwed side, giving it a greyish, silvery clr. This allwed the light t utline Mnvis n the left as well.
32．Why did Valeri send the pht t NASA?
A．He tk an interest in astrnmical advances.
B．He expected t create an impact n scial media.
C．He received brad supprt frm enthusiastic fans.
D．He wished t make his hmetwn a turist ht spt.
33．In Valeri’s pht, the three bjects ______.
A．shine light n each therB．stand in a straight line
C．fit each ther in sizeD．vary frm usual in clr
34．What did Valeri d t prepare fr the perfect pht?
A．Studying hw the Mn phase changes.B．Calculating the Superga-Mnvis distance.
C．Analyzing when t adjust the camera angle.D．Measuring the height f the bservatin pint.
35．What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glw?
A．The utline f the crescent.B．The utline f Superga.
C．The dark side f the Mn.D．The shadwed side f the Earth.

Walking and Using a Phne is Bad fr Yur Health
Spend time n any crwded sidewalk and yu’ll see heads bent ver and eyes cast dwnward. One recent study f cllege students fund that a quarter f peple crssing intersectins 56 (absrb) in a device. That screen in yur hand isn’t just distracting yur attentin. It als changes yur md, yur manner f walking and etc. — and affects yur ability t get frm pint A t pint B 57 running int truble.
When yu walk and use a phne at the same time, yu autmatically adjust 58 yu mve. Vide ftage f walkers has shwn that peple n phnes walk abut 10 percent slwer than thse undistracted nes. These changes can blck traffic n the sidewalk. And 59 walking makes up a big prtin f yur daily physical activity, walking mre slwly may have impacts fr yur fitness.
Lking dwn at a smartphne while walking can als increase the amunt f frce 60 (place) n the neck and upper back muscles, which culd reduce balance and increase the risk f falls.
It’s nw widely accepted that walking in natural spaces is gd fr yur mental health. It appears that 61 (get) these benefits, it’s imprtant that yur attentin is n the envirnment, rather than n yur phne.

I was invited t a ckut n an ld friend’s farm in western Washingtn. I parked my car utside the farm and walked past a milking huse which had apparently nt been used in many years. A nise at a windw caught my attentin, s I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying t escape. She was cvered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able t mve her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I lked arund t see hw she had gtten in. The brken windw glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece f clth int the hle and tk her utside, clsing the dr securely behind me.
When I pened my hand, the bird did nt fly away; she sat lking at me with her bright eyes. I remved the sticky spider-webs that cvered her head and wings. Still, she made n attempt t fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the windw t lng and was t tired? Or t thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path tward my car where I kept a water bttle, she began t mve. I stpped, and she sn tk wing but did nt immediately fly away.
Hvering (悬停), she apprached within six inches f my face. Fr a very lng mment, this tiny creature lked int my eyes, turning her head frm side t side. Then she flew quickly ut f sight.
During the ckut, I tld my hsts abut the hummingbird incident. They prmised t fix the windw. As I was departing, my friends walked me t my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew t the center f ur grup and began hvering. She turned frm persn t persn until she came t me. She again lked directly int my eyes, then let ut a squeaking call and was gne. Fr a mment, all were speechless. Then smene said, “She must have cme t say gdbye.”
