Lying in the Mexican state f Oaxaca, the fishing village Huatulc is hme t nine bays, 36 beaches and thusands f baby turtles that apparently needed me. I had three pen days and a desire t save sme turtles. And s, away I went t Huatulc with Wildcast, a grup f champins-fr-change wh were prtecting castal and marine ecsystem in the U.S. and Mexic.
I was taken t La Escbilla t experience Wildcast in actin. This prtected beach, ne hur nrth f Huatulc, is where mass turtle nesting happens, lasting just fur days during rainy seasn, hundreds f thusands f female sea turtles swinging their way ashre t lay their eggs.
Between threats f dgs, crabs, develpment and il spills, the little creatures have the whle wrld against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was nt nly a cmmn practice, but an imprtant part f the culture and diet in the Oaxaca cmmunities. Luckily, Wildcast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by mnitring temperatures and humidity. Thanks t their effrts, the sea turtles have made a majr cmeback, with nw ver 72 millin turtles being brn n the beaches that Wildcast prtects.
I gt t hld 50 f the tiny creatures in a bwl. Despite an average laying f 100 eggs, just ne in 1,000 baby turtles will make it t adulthd. It was time t liberate (解放) thse little creatures. Out spilled the creatures, sme mving full steam ahead while thers barely mved in place. Literally, hundreds f them began t spread ut acrss the beach.
With each set f waves, we witnessed the survival f the fittest, sme pushing past the whitewash while thers crashed back t shre. Their fight fr life made my eyes wet. A flck f birds were ready t dive int the sea fr their mving targets. “One in 1,000.” Nature was cruel. After 30 lng minutes, the last creature made his way t the sea.

Fr this year’s Furth f July celebratin, sme U.S. cities have replaced traditinal firewrks with impressive drne (无人机) light shws. Maybe mst imprtantly, the drnes being emplyed by mre and mre cities fr Furth f July celebratins dn’t leave behind a blanket f smke at a time when America’s air quality is already at its wrst in decades.
“Arund the wrld, we’ve seen cnsistently that, during times when firewrk usage is really high, we have really bad air quality,” said Pallavi Pant, the head f glbal health at the Health Effects Institute. And while that pllutin typically disappears quickly — usually arund nn n July 5th — the cncentratin can be high enugh t wrsen the cnditin fr thse with breathing prblems. Cities making the switch t high-tech shws say there’re plenty f ther reasns why peple may want t avid traditinal firewrks.
“Firewrks can be harmful t flks wh suffer frm PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) r families wh have dgs. Salt Lake City has mre husehlds with dgs than we d with kids,” said Lynze Twede, a manager fr Salt Lake City Public Lands. “Being away frm firewrks is cnsidered by many t be the tendency f the future. Drnes are reusable, while with firewrks, yu have smke, falling debris (碎片), and nise which especially stresses dgs and peple with PTSD ut.”
Abut 12,264 fires were started by firewrk displays in 2021, accrding t the Natinal Fire Prtectin Assciatin. Thse added up t arund $59 millin in direct prperty damage. But data als shws that much f the wildfire risk cmes nt frm grand public displays, but frm the small-scale shws n sidewalks.
It may be t early t tell hw this tendency may get clse t smaller shws and cnsumers, but the price is a limiting factr.
28. What is the mst imprtant reasn fr U.S. cities’ giving up traditinal firewrk shws?
A. T reduce fire risks.B. T prevent nise pllutin.
C. T prtect the envirnment.D. T supprt new technlgy.
29. What abut firewrks typically threatens peple with PTSD and dgs?

In what they claim is a wrld first, researchers in Japan have develped chpsticks that artificially create the taste f salt, as part f effrts t reduce sdium (钠) levels in sme f the cuntry’s mst ppular dishes.
The chpsticks wrk using electrical stimulatin and a mini-cmputer wrn n the eater’s wristband. The device transmits sdium ins frm fd, thrugh the chpsticks, t the muth where they create a sense f saltiness, says Hmei Miyashita, a prfessr at Meiji University in Tky, whse labratry cllabrated with the fd and drink manufacturer Kirin t develp the device. The team plan t imprve the first design and hpe t make the chpsticks available t cnsumers next year.
The chpsticks culd find a receptive audience in Japan, where the traditinal diet tends t be high in salt due t the use f cmpnents such as mis and sy sauce. The average Japanese adult cnsumes abut 10 grams f salt a day, duble the amunt recmmended by the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO). The health ministry has prpsed reducing daily salt intake t a maximum f 7.5 grams fr men and 6.5 grams fr wmen.
The chpsticks use “very weak electricity — nt enugh t affect the human bdy — t adjust the functin f ins such as sdium chlride and sdium glutamate t change the perceptin f taste by making fd seem t taste strnger r weaker”, Kirin said in a statement.
Miyashita and Kirin said clinical tests n peple wh fllw a lw-sdium diet had cnfirmed that the device enhances the salty taste f lw-sdium fd by abut 1.5 times. High salt intake can cntribute t high bld pressure, the leading cause f heart attacks and strkes. “T prevent these diseases, we need t reduce the amunt f salt we take,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sat. “If we try t avid taking less salt in a cnventinal way, we wuld need t suffer the pain f cutting ur favurite fd frm ur diet, r suffer eating fd with very little taste.” Miyashita’ s lab has als invented a lickable TV screen that imitates the flavurs f varius fds.
32. What des the secnd paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Hw the chpsticks wrk.B. What the team plans t d.
C. What the device is designed fr.D. Hw a sense f saltiness is created.
33. What can be inferred frm paragraph three?
A. The chpsticks may be ppular in Japan.
B. The Japanese traditinal diets are high in salt.
C. The WHO advised an adult t take 2 0 grams f salt a day.
D. A wman shuld eat at least 6.5 grams f salt everyday.
34. What is a direct result f the chpsticks accrding t clinical tests?
A. Fd can have strnger r weaker flavurs.
B. Lw-sdium fd tastes saltier than it actually is.
C. Peple are less likely t have heart attacks and strkes.
D. We may nt be able t eat ur favurite fd anymre.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Japan cnducts clinical tests n lw-sdium diets
B. Japanese high-tech salty chpsticks gain ppularity
C. Japan invents electrnic chpsticks making fd taste salty
D. Japanese researchers reduce sdium levels in ppular dishes

The musical instrument I first learned was the vilin, which was as small as a kid’s ty, when I was six years ld. After six years f being a vilin learner, I decided t take n a new challenge: the cell (大提琴). My mm fund an experienced cell teacher, Ms. Kim, wh agreed t teach me in her cell studi.
At first, the pieces I played n the cell were simple and uninspiring. Hwever, everything changed when Ms. Kim ffered me a challenging piece named “Capricci”. My dad, wh was excited abut the music that I wuld play, believed mastering this piece was as impssible as a tiger flying in the sky. My mm lked up “Capricci” n YuTube, her eyes widening as she watched a musician perfrm it with grace and intensity, realizing hw difficult the piece truly was. I felt a mix f excitement and anxiety.
“Capricci” requires many techniques, and learning them was ften frustrating. One particularly tugh challenge was pressing several ntes with my thumb, which caused me tears as I struggled with the pain. My fingers felt awkward, and I wrried I wuld never get it right. One day, after a particularly tiring practice sessin, Ms. Kim suggested I fcus mre n the dynamics f the piece. I misinterpreted her advice, thinking she was frustrated with my slw prgress. This dubt made me questin my ability and Ms. Kim’s belief in me, fueling my frustratin with the cell.
After a challenging practice ne afternn, feeling defeated, I finally pened up t Ms. Kim abut my feelings. I shared my struggles and fears, expecting her t scld me fr my lack f prgress. T my surprise, she smiled gently, saying, “Sadie, I nly push yu because I see yur ptential!” Ms. Kim adapted her teaching style, fcusing n my strengths while gently guiding me thrugh my weaknesses. And her encuragement regenerated my mtivatin: I began t apprach “Capricci” with renewed enthusiasm.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲的是日本研究人员发明了一种能够人工创造咸味的筷子，旨在减少日本一些最受欢迎的菜肴中的钠含量。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The chpsticks wrk using electrical stimulatin and a mini-cmputer wrn n the eater’s wristband. The device transmits sdium ins frm fd, thrugh the chpsticks, t the muth where they create a sense f saltiness, says Hmei Miyashita, a prfessr at Meiji University in Tky, whse labratry cllabrated with the fd and drink manufacturer Kirin t develp the device. (东京明治大学的教授Hmei Miyashita表示，这些筷子通过电刺激和佩戴在食客手腕上的微型计算机工作。该设备会将食物中的钠离子通过筷子传送到口中，从而产生咸味。Hmei Miyashita的实验室与食品和饮料制造商Kirin公司合作开发了这一设备。)”可知，东京明治大学的教授Hmei Miyashita表示，这些筷子通过电刺激和佩戴在食客手腕上的微型计算机工作，并简要介绍了如何通过筷子产生咸味儿的，由此可知，第二段主要告诉我们筷子的工作原理。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The chpsticks culd find a receptive audience in Japan(这种筷子能够在日本找到接受它们的人群)”可推测出，这种筷子可能在日本会受欢迎，因此A选项正确；根据“where the traditinal diet tends t be high in salt due t the use f cmpnents such as mis and sy sauce”可直接得出B选项，是直接信息，因此可排除B选项；根据“The average Japanese adult cnsumes abut 10 grams f salt a day, duble the amunt recmmended by the Wrld Health Organizatin(WHO).”可推知，10克是世界卫生组织推荐的盐日摄入量的两倍，所以世界卫生组织推荐的是每日摄入5克盐，因此可排除C选项；根据“The health ministry has prpsed reducing daily salt intake t a maximum f 7.5 grams fr men and 6.5 grams fr wmen. (卫生部建议将每日盐摄入量减少到男性最多7.5克，女性最多6.5克。)”可推知，卫生部建议女性每天最多摄入6.5克盐，而不是至少6.5克，因此可排除D选项。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Miyashita and Kirin said clinical tests n peple wh fllw a lw-sdium diet had cnfirmed that the device enhances the salty taste f lw-sdium fd by abut 1.5 times. (Miyashita 和 Kirin表示，对低钠饮食的人进行的临床测试证实，该设备能将低钠食物的咸味提高约1.5倍。)”可知，使用筷子的直接结果是低钠食物吃起来比实际更咸。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In what they claim is a wrld first, researchers in Japan have develped chpsticks that artificially create the taste f salt, as part f effrts t reduce sdium(钠) levels in sme f the cuntry’s mst ppular dishes. (日本的研究人员研发出了一种人工制造咸味的筷子，他们声称这是世界首例，这是减少日本一些最受欢迎的菜肴中钠含量的努力的一部分。)”可知，本文主要讲的是日本研究人员发明了一种能够人工创造咸味的筷子，旨在减少日本一些最受欢迎的菜肴中的钠含量，因此题目“Japan invents electrnic chpsticks making fd taste salty(日本发明了电子筷子，使食物尝起来咸)”概括了文章主题，可作为最恰当的标题。故选C。
