Invented in the Tang Dynasty and widely adpted after the Sng Dynasty in Fujian, the watertight-bulkhead (水密舱壁) technlgy permits the cnstructin f cean-ging ships with watertight cmpartments (隔层). If ne r tw cabins are accidentally damaged at sea, water will nt fld the ther cabins and the ships will remain aflat.
The experience and wrking methds f watertight-bulkhead technlgy are transmitted rally frm master t apprentices. Hwever, the need fr Chinese junks (中国式帆船) has decreased sharply as wden ships have been replaced by steel-hulled ships, and tday nly three masters can claim full cmmand f this technlgy. Assciated building csts have als increased wing t a shrtage in raw materials. Therefre, the inheritance (继承) f this heritage is decreasing, and inheritrs are frced t seek alternative emplyment.
Zhang Guhui, a 77-year-ld inheritr f the watertight-bulkhead techniques used t make Chinese junks, has been making ships fr mre than six decades. Cming frm a pr family in a fishing twn in East China’s Fujian Prvince, Zhang started t make a living at the age f 16 fishing n the pen seas, which is where he develped a keen interest in cnstructing bats. As a fast learner, Zhang was later sent t shipyards in the cities f Quanzhu and Xiamen in Fujian Prvince, where he received training and became a master f traditinal Chinese junks and gained fame because f his extremely skilled craftsmanship in the cnstructin f these junks.
In fear that the traditinal skills wuld die smeday, Zhang started t restre ld ships and make mdel junks fr the museum with his 20 years f shipbuilding skills. “The restred ancient ships are the histrical witnesses f Quanzhu as a maritime center f the East and Sutheast Asia trade netwrk,” said Zhang, adding that he finds the wrk meaningful since yunger generatins can learn frm exhibitins f ancient ships that their ancestrs had advanced shipbuilding technlgy at an early stage f develpment. “As lng as I’m alive, I’ll keep passing n the heritage,” he said.
24．What functin is expected f the watertight-bulkhead technlgy?
A．T prevent ships frm sinking.B．T reduce the weight f ships.
C．T allw ships t sail faster.D．T help ships resist strng winds.
25．Which f the fllwing is the purpse f paragraph 2?
A．T prve the significance f steel-hulled ships.”
B．T stress the cmplex prcess f building wden ships.
C．T present peple’s effrts t pass dwn cultural heritages.
D．T shw difficulties f inheriting watertight-bulkhead technlgy.
26．What can we learn abut Zhang Guhui frm paragraph 3?
A．He supprts his family by fishing.
B．He was brn with a talent fr shipbuilding.
C．He has devted himself t cnstructing bats.
D．He has wn many awards fr restring ancient ships.
27．What des Zhang Guhui cnvey in his wrds?
A．Traditinal culture shuld be innvated with the times.
B．The ancient ship trade riginated frm Quanzhu in China.
C．It is necessary fr mdern students t learn shipbuilding skills.
D．It is wrth passing n traditinal skills frm generatin t generatin.
Few marsupials (有袋哺乳动物) have gne frm miraculus survival t the edge f extinctin as quickly as the Kangar Island dunnart (狭足袋鼩).
In 2019 and 2020, devastating fires burned nearly 10 millin hectares f sutheastern Australia. The flames threatened hundreds f species with extinctin, but the Kangar Island dunnart — which already numbered less than 500 befre the fires — seemed t be ne that was beynd expectatin in the aftermath. But nw these rare creatures may be mre at risk than ever, researchers say June 16 in Scientific Reprts. The danger, as dmestic as it sunds, is getting eaten by a cat.
As f 2008, invasive wildcats had cntributed t at least 13 percent f extinctins wrldwide. That’s ne reasn why the gvernment has been euthanizing (安乐死) wildcats n Kangar Island fr years. The scientists wh cnducted the dunnart study knew all this — but when they studied the remains f wildcats euthanized in 2020, they were still surprised by what they saw: Seven ut f 86 wildcats had recently dined n dunnart.
“We were nt expecting t find s many,” says Luis Lignereux, a field researcher at the University f Adelaide Schl f Animal and Veterinary Science. “It’s particularly bad news, ”he says, “if yu think f what was in the wildcats as nly a brief descriptin f what they ate in the last 36 hurs.” Taking that int accunt, thse seven wildcats alne culd have eaten enugh t wipe ut the Kangar Island dunnart within a few mnths, if they had survived—and there are hundreds f ther wildcats n the island.
A small habitat makes the dunnarts especially vulnerable. It’s like putting all yur eggs in ne basket, Lignereux says. Since the fires, the Kangar Island dunnart is thught t nw live in an area abut ne-tenth f the size f Manhattan. “If smething happened t this spt,” he says, “then the dunnart is gne frever.”
28．What can we infer abut the Kangar Island dunnarts frm the text?
A．Their small habitat has rich species.B．They and wildcats killed each ther.
C．The wildcats led t the extinctin f them.D．They were hardly influenced by the big fire.
29．Hw did the researchers find the real cause f the sharp reductin f dunnarts?
A．By analyzing their habitat.B．By cnsulting the experts.
C．By referring t precius data.D．By studying the remains f dead wildcats.
30．Which f the fllwing can best replace the underlined wrd “vulnerable” in the last paragraph?
A．hard t be fedB．sensitive t the envirnmentC．at riskD．easy t survive
31．Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A．Why d dunnarts pssibly face extinctin?B．Why d wildcats dine n the dunnarts?
C．What envirnment d dunnarts favr?D．What measures shuld be taken t kill wildcats?
A team f AI researchers at Micrsft, wrking with clleagues frm the Pacific Nrthwest Natinal Labratry(PNNL), has used AI t develp a battery that uses less lithium (锂).
Lithium batteries have becme the industry standard fr electrnic devices and electric vehicles and are expected t play a majr rle in the change t green pwer. But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams acrss the glbe t lk fr alternatives. In this new effrt, the research team lked fr ways t reduce the amunt f lithium used in batteries.
This wuld nrmally take a lng time because f the detailed apprach required. T reduce the wrklad and the time needed t prcess millins f alternatives, the researchers turned t AI. Nting that AI applicatins are gd at using massive amunts f data t learn hw t d things, the researchers designed ne that culd study millins f materials that might be added t a lithium battery t replace sme amunt f the lithium and test the results fr factrs such as stability and hw a battery using a given material wuld behave.
Using this apprach, the research team reduced the list f pssible alternatives t just a few hundred pssibilities. They then turned t materials scientists at PNNL fr advice n hw t reduce the pssibilities even further. The scientists suggested adding mre specific screening criteria and mre testing runds. After adpting that advice, the team arrived at a prmising alternative and an apprach that invlved replacing apprximately half f the lithium atms in a battery with sdium (钠) atms.
After using the new apprach t build a wrking battery, the researchers fund it had lwer cnductivity (导电性) than needed — but they als believe that there is rm fr imprvement. They plan t cntinue wrking n the apprach and the prcess they used t find their slutin, which they suggest culd eventually slve ther types f material prcessing prblems.
32．Why did the research team want t develp a battery that uses less lithium?
A．T reduce carbn emissins.B．T meet the industry standard.
C．T decrease the cst f a battery.D．T generate electricity efficiently.
33．What d the underlined wrds “this apprach” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A．Using AI t find pssible materials.B．Adding ther materials t a battery.
C．Develping an applicatin t cllect data.D．Replacing lithium in a battery with sdium.
34．Hw did the research team finally find a prmising alternative?
A．By seeking funding frm PNNL.B．By asking experts fr advice.
C．By turning t Micrsft fr help.D．By cperating with ther scientists.
35．What is the existing challenge with the new apprach?
A．It is less effective than expected.B．It csts t much time and mney.
C．It ccupies t much rm.D．It prcesses at a lwer speed.
Picture this: Yu’ve just arrived hme frm the grcery stre and realized that yu frgt t buy the main fd yu needed fr dinner. Yu may feel upset and tired. And then, the vice in yur head begins its cmments: “It’s really stupid f me.” Or “Why am I always s careless?” 36
We’ve all been there — experiencing the inner dialgue that fllws a mistake r a setback. 37 Negative self-talk is a nrmal part f being human. But if left unchecked, it can affect ur mental health. This is why learning t examine and transfrm ur inner vice is s crucial. Our inner vice is cnstantly bradcasting ur thughts, whether they’ re psitive r negative. 38 In cntrast, negative self-talk expses us t self-dubts and fears. This can eventually harm ur mental health, relatinships, and cnfidence.
39 Research shws that peple wh engage in this kind f behavir ften experience lwer self-cnfidence, higher anxiety levels, and a reduced sense f verall well-being. In additin, self-criticism has been assciated with higher stress levels and an increased risk f mental health issues, such as depressin.
The gd news is that we can change ur self-talk. The first step is becming aware f the rle ur inner vice plays. Once we recgnize its impact, we can use simple techniques t shift hw we talk t urselves. 40 Besides, using yur name instead f “I” during inner dialgue can als create a mre supprtive, less critical vice.
A．A lt f strategies are needed.
B．Practicing cnstructive self-talk can be helpful.
C．In fact, negative self-talk can take many frms.
D．Psitive self-talk can inspire and bst ur cnfidence.
E．At last, yu may head back t the stre with a heavy heart.
F．The link between negative self-talk and mental health is well-established.
G．This dialgue is the vice that criticizes us when things dn’t g as planned.

A recent study has fund that a regin in the Turpan-Hami Basin f Xinjiang Uygur Autnmus Regin served 56 a shelter fr plants and animals during a majr extinctin event 252 millin years ag. The research cnducted by scientists frm the Chinese Academy f Sciences 57 (publish) in Science Advances.
At the end f the Permian Perid (二叠纪), a terrible extinctin wiped ut ver 80% f species n earth, 58 scientists have lng believed was caused by vlcanic eruptins in Siberia that led t widespread 59 (harm) gases, wildfires, and acid rain. Hwever, this new study challenges the idea by prviding the first clear evidence 60 a stable land ecsystem persisted thrugh the disaster.
By examining plant fssils (化石) there, researchers fund that nly abut 21% f lcal plant species disappeared — a much lwer rate 61 (cmpare) with that in the cean. The study als uncvered a cntinuus 62 (present) f thick plants befre and after the extinctin event. This stable plant life supprted a rapid recvery f varied animals, allwing them t thrive (蓬勃发展) within just 75, 000 years, much faster than 63 (previus) thught.
Scientists believe this ability t recver was due t the regin’s stable climate, with gd rainfall 64 (create) a livable envirnment. This discvery 65 (highlight) hw lcal cnditins can prtect ecsystems even in times f glbal disaster, ffering lessns fr mdern cnservatin effrts.

Oliver, a bright twelve-year-ld with curly brwn hair, lived in the lively twn f Willw Creek. Every day after schl, he wuld rush hme t his favrite spt — a strng ak tree with a swing in the backyard t read. But tday was different. He had a secret that made his heart race, but nt in the gd way.
At schl, during art class, Oliver accidentally spilled (泼洒) red paint n his friend Mia’s drawing. In panic, he lied, saying the paintbrush slipped. Deep dwn, he knew he had been careless, and the lie weighed heavily n him. Mia had been s excited abut her drawing fr the cming schl art shw. He wrried he had ruined it.
With a sigh, Oliver decided t take a walk t clear his mind. He wandered dwn the familiar path t Willw Creek Park. There, he saw Mr. Jhnsn, a retired headmaster. He had a kind smile that made Oliver feel at ease.
“Hell, Oliver,” Mr. Jhnsn called, waving him ver. “What brings yu here n this fine day?”
Oliver hesitated fr a mment but then decided t share his burden. “I tld a lie tday,” he admitted everything t Mr. Jhnsn.
“Hnesty builds trust,” Mr. Jhnsn advised gently, “while lies create walls between friends.”
Oliver listened attentively, wrrying that truth might hurt Mia. “Smetimes the truth may hurt, but it als slves the prblem and makes things better,” Mr. Jhnsn added thughtfully. “If yu’re hnest with Mia, yu can wrk tgether t fix the drawing. Remember, friendship grws strng with trust.”
Oliver ndded, feeling a spark f hpe. Maybe telling the truth wuldn’t be as scary as he thught.
The next day at schl, the air was filled with excitement as the art shw drew clser. Clrful banners decrated the halls, and students hurried t set up their displays.
