(C)
The legend f the ptential third runway at Heathrw, Britain’s largest airprt, has been called the lngest take-ff in histry. A cmmissin in 1993 recmmended expansin, and the gvernment first favred the plan in 2003. But it was nt until 2018 that the transprt secretary finally gave the prject the g ahead. A curt f Appeal ruling in February 2020 that the runway was nt cmpatible with Britain’s bligatins under the Paris climate agreement f 2015 appeared t have finally spiled the plans. But n December 16th the Supreme Curt verturned that judgment and nce mre green-lit the prject.
The initial Curt f Appeal judgment fund that the gvernment’s decisin t allw the expansin t g ahead was unlawful because Chris Grayling, then transprt secretary, had failed t take the Paris agreement int accunt. While that was a blw t Heathrw, it helped get Bris Jhnsn’s gvernment ut f truble. Mr. Jhnsn, whse wn cnstituency (选民) is near the airprt, has been a fierce critic f the expansin plans, famusly pledging t prtesters that he wuld “lie dwn with yu in frnt f thse bulldzers (推土机) and ... stp the cnstructin.” The gvernment chse nt t appeal, but Heathrw did; and the Supreme Curt decided that the gvernment had taken Paris int accunt, and the Curt f Appeal was therefre wrng.
Even s, the expansin may nt g ahead. While the airline industry has lng champined a third runway, much has changed since February 2020. British Airways, Heathrw’s largest custmer, has becme skeptical abut the plans. Earlier this year Willie Walsh, the chief executive f BA’s parent cmpany, argued that “it was a Herculean task (艰巨的任务) befre COVID and I think it’s impssible nw”. Althugh air travel will almst certainly rebund as scial-distancing restrictins are eased in 2021, the industry is nt expecting a quick recvery. The Internatinal Air Travel Assciatin, a lbby grup, expects that glbal spending n air travel will be abut half f 2019 levels in 2021. Shrt-haul flights frm Britain are expected t rise sharply as the vaccine is rlled ut and cnsumers dash ff t sunnier climes, but the utlk fr lnger-haul flights remains highly uncertain.
Analysts reckn the big unknwn is the future f business travel. Firms that have grwn accustmed t Zm meetings may well be less keen t splash ut n high-priced tickets frm Lndn t New Yrk. Althugh business flyers accunt fr nly arund 10% f transatlantic custmer they pay ten t 12 times as much per ticket as ecnmy passengers. A substantial fall in their numbers wuld mean large rises in ticket prices fr the rest, which in turn wuld dent demand. If lng-haul flight vlumes remain depressed, then the business case fr a third runway at Heathrw starts t lk rpy. Bris Jhnsn is unlikely t have t prstrate (卧倒) himself in frnt f thse bulldzers sn, if ever.
43. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing statements is true abut the ptential third runway at Heathrw?
A. It didn’t get supprt frm the gvernment in 2003.
B. It failed t meet the Paris climate agreement f 2015.
C. The transprt secretary then in 2018 didn’t think highly f the prject.
D. The Supreme Curt gave the permissin t cnstruct the runway at the end f 2020.

A. Bris Jhnsn’s gvernment
B. Heathrw airprt
C. the airline industry
D. the Internatinal Air Travel Assciatin

（原创题）Chasing Cnsistency: A Wrng Aim fr Excellence
Prfessinal athletes dn’t aim t hit their persnal bests every single day, as such a gal is neither realistic nr strategically wise. Yet many f us uncnsciusly adpt this mindset in ur wrk and daily lives, pushing urselves t match ur peak perfrmance cnstantly. Inevitably, we fall shrt and end up feeling like cmplete failures. ____47____
Striving fr ultra-cnsistent high perfrmance traps us in the s-called "mntne middle" f a perfrmance bell curve, leaving us stuck in medicrity and missing ut n bth extrardinary successes and even pr utcmes that bring grwth. When it cmes t creative thinking, encuraging seemingly "dpey" r unplished ideas is essential fr great nes t emerge — cutting ff these "bad" ideas unwittingly eliminates the chance f genius. ____48____
Human behavir inherently invlves a trade-ff between expliting prven strategies that guarantee results and explring new, untested appraches that may lead t breakthrughs. ____49____ We tend t stick rigidly t what we knw wrks: fr instance, a YuTuber might crank ut yet anther variatin f a vide fllwing the same successful frmat instead f experimenting with fresh cntent styles.
T truly excel in any field, we need t develp the ability t tlerate day-t-day variatins in ur utcmes and avid falling int the verthinker’s paradx — where vercntrlling thughts limit ur success mre than failure itself. ____50____ Only by embracing explratin and being willing t experiment, rather than blindly chasing cnsistency, can we ultimately reach ur highest pssible levels f perfrmance.

Unshellfish lve
Amid a slump in turism, ne natinal park in Thailand has seen a dramatic rise in visitrs. S numerus are the hermit crabs thrnging the therwise empty beaches f Kh Lanta that shells fr them t live in have becme a scarce cmmdity. The Thai gvernment mved quickly t ease the husing shrtage, launching a public appeal fr empty shells that netted ver 200 kg. On December 5th these were distributed arund the park in a ceremny marking the birthday f the late king, Bhumibl Adulyadej.
Hermit crabs rely n discarded shells t prtect their sft bdies, mving t larger shells as they grw. On Kh Lanta and the surrunding smaller islands, their rapid increase seems t be a natural phenmenn, rather than directly related t the absence f turists. But the shrtage f shells may be man-made; pretty nes have lng been gathered t be sld as suvenirs. Crabs had begun t make d with ptential death-traps such as plastic caps and bttles.
The shell drive was part f a gvernment initiative t “restre the balance f nature”. “I have instructed all natinal parks t d whatever it takes,” says Varawut Silpa-archa, the minister fr natural resurces. His inspiratin cmes frm the hiatus (间歇、空隙) in turism brught n by cvid-19. A ban n internatinal visitrs and the clsure f natinal parks have helped nature rebund, bringing black-tipped reef sharks back int Thai waters and endangered leatherback turtles back nt Thai beaches. In the castal prvinces f Phang Nga and Phuket, turtles have laid the largest number f eggs fr 20 years.
The gvernment has decided t try t mimic the respite (暂缓、休息) frced n it by the crnavirus in future. Frm nw n, all natinal parks will be required t clse fr part f the ff-seasn and t limit the number f turists thrugh a reservatin system when they are pen. Althugh such restrictins mean reduced earnings frm turism in the shrt term, in the lnger run mre pristine (原始的、未开发的) parks may help t keep the turists cming.
