Art is nt always made f marble r canvas. On the shres f India, artist SudarsanPattnaik uses a unique medium: sand — fragile, shifting and temprary. His canvas is the beach, and his creatins, thugh they eventually disappear, leave behind smething far mre lasting: deep thught.
Withut teachers r structured learning, Pattnaik taught himself by bserving and experimenting, turning the beach int his studi. Over time, his unique craft has traveled far beynd his hmetwn, earning him an internatinal reputatin and numerus glbal awards.
Fr Pattnaik, art has never been just abut aesthetics (美学); it is abut raising awareness. He sees his sand sculptures as pwerful tls t respnd t urgent glbal issues. Over the years, his art has centered arund critical themes, transfrming sand int impactful public service messages. On Wrld Envirnment Day, he created striking visuals f endangered marine life trapped in plastic, urging peple t recnsider their daily cnsumptin. In anther pwerful wrk, he sculpted a massive Earth cradled in human hands, symblizing bth respnsibility and fragility. His sculptures ften carry clear messages like “Save Earth”, turning a shreline int a site f reflectin. Beynd envirnmental campaigns, Pattnaik’s wrk als pushes creative bundaries. He has created tributes t glbal leaders and cultural icns t mark significant internatinal events. Each piece, regardless f its theme, strengthens the cnnectin between art and sciety.
Perhaps the mst unique aspect f his wrk is its temprary nature. The sand sculptures can be scattered by the wind r washed away by the sea. Hwever, Pattnaik builds them anyway, knwing that while the physical frm may disappear, the message will remain. In a fast-mving wrld, his art asks us t pause and think. The true endurance f his art lies nt in the sand itself, but in the memry and actin it inspires.
24. What helped Pattnaik acquire his artistic skills?
A. Frmal educatin and structured curses.
B. Extensive travel and internatinal exchanges.
C. Independent learning and dedicated practice.
D. Prfessinal guidance and hands-n experience.
25. What is the main rle f his wrks accrding t Pattnaik?
A. A tl t prmte an exceptinal art frm.
B. A carrier t prvide pure aesthetic pleasure.
C. A means t break bundaries between cultures.
D. A way t speak fr the envirnment and sciety.
26. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Artists shuld emply durable materials.
B. The sculptures can be preserved frever.
C. Art’s value ges beynd its physical frm.
D. Art shuld cater t the fast-mving wrld.
27. Which wrds can best describe Pattnaik?
A. Respnsible and innvative.B. Cnsiderate and humble.
C. Talented and curageus.D. Influential and rganized.
C
Nrway’s success at the 2026 Winter Olympics was impressive, but the natin’s recrd-breaking practice actually began earlier. In January, Kristian Blummenfelt, a triathlete, had recrded the highest-ever VO₂ max scre — the gld standard fr measuring cardi respiratry fitness (CRF). Once a cncept reserved fr prfessinals, VO₂ max is nw heavily prmted by fitness influencers. But des the number truly matter fr everyne?
VO₂ ma x refers t the maximum rate at which yur bdy can cnsume xygen during intense exercise. Our muscles depend n xygen fr energy. This xygen is delivered t the lungs, bund t hemglbin (血红蛋白) in the bld, and pumped by the heart t muscles thrughut the bdy. The mre xygen the heart pumps and the muscles use, the higher the VO₂ max, and the lnger the muscles can g befre tiring ut.
The significance extends beynd athletic perfrmance. Research indicates that CRFmight be a strnger predictr f lngevity than measures like BMI. A 2025 study invlving 400,000 bservatins revealed that verweight individuals with the highest CRFscres had arund half the death risk cmpared with unfit peple f nrmal weight.
Rughly half f ne’s VO₂ max is determined by genetics, but age and gender als play rles. VO₂ max peaks arund age 30 and declines by abut 10% per decade thereafter. Advanced athletes ften bast scres abve 60, while an average 40-year-ld male scres arund 40. Wmen’s scres are typically 15% lwer, wing t smaller hearts and less muscle mass.
Imprvements are nnetheless pssible. Regular aerbic activities like swimming r cycling can increase VO₂ max by 10% t 30%. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) prves especially effective by pushing the bdy clse t its xygen extreme. Yet such effrts require additinal recvery time and can be dne nly a few times per week. Fr fitness enthusiasts, VO₂ max serves as a useful indicatr, but experts cautin against getting bsessed with the precise number.
28. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic?
A. By cmparing different athletes’ achievements.
B. By mentining a trend with a ntable example.
C. By questining a widely accepted Olympic recrd.
D. By explaining a scientific term in simple language.
29. What determines muscle endurance?
A. The level f ne’s VO₂ max.B. The intake f xygen.
C. The cncentratin f hemglbin.D. The frequency f intense exercise.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The methd f keeping fit.B. The significance f VO₂ max.
C. The necessity f lsing weight.D. The cntrast between BMI and CRF.
31. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T instruct peple t increase VO₂ max.
B. T shwcase different fitness indicatrs.
C. T highlight CRF’s effects n ur life span.
D. T guide peple t view VO₂ max reasnably.

The wrld’s diverse frests are facing increasing threats, making effective mnitring crucial fr cnservatin. While traditinal methds like camera traps and GPS tags are useful, lw-cst, slar-pwered micrphnes have prven strikingly effective in revealing what’s living in sme f the planet’s mst densely inhabited and bidiverse envirnments.
Rainfrest Cnnectin (RFC), a nn-prfit rganizatin funded in 2014 by TpherWhite, pineered this biacustic mnitring fr cnservatin. RFC initially repurpsed ld phnes int mnitring devices, but later develped a standardized unit called theGuardian. These Guardians have since been deplyed in ver 600 lcatins wrldwide, acting as cnstant “ears” in the wilderness.
Guardians are designed t capture a brad sundscape f the rainfrest. “Placed high in treetps, these slar-pwered devices can perate fr years, cntinuusly recrding sunds and transmitting them t the clud, where we are then able t analyze them fr all srts f things,” says White. Their primary gal is t pick up immediate threats — chainsaws, lgging trucks, and gunshts — and relay real-time alerts t lcal authrities and cmmunities, enabling swift actin t prtect the land.
Beynd detecting bvius threats, RFC is explring advanced data analysis. White explains that the sundscape itself can act as a detectr. In a test n the island fSumatra, RFC and a German sftware firm used machine learning t identify “uncharacteristic sudden changes t the sundscape”, which successfully identified human invaders. Fr example, tracking animal calls can reveal when animals suddenly g silent, ptentially indicating the presence f pachers. This advanced methd will sn be rlled ut inThailand, Jamaica and Rmania by building a unique mdel fr each envirnment.
This innvative biacustic mnitring prvides invaluable “eyes and ears” in remte frests, ffering a pwerful tl fr wildlife prtectin and anti-paching effrts. By understanding and reacting t the subtle sunds f nature, this technlgy ffers a prmising pathway fr cnservatin. Furthermre, RFC als prvides an app allwing the public t listen t live streams frm the Ecuadrian rainfrest, fstering greater awareness and cnnectin t these vital ecsystems glbally.
32. What can we knw abut RFC?
A. It remved ptential threats.B. It priritized traditinal methds.
C. It recycled ld electrnic prducts.D. It initiated sund mnitring.
33. Hw d Guardians mainly functin in frest prtectin?
A. By analyzing sunds f wildlife.B. By identifying animal species.
C. By transmitting sunds t lcals.D. By sending instant warnings.
34. What des the underlined phrase “rlled ut” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Ppularized.B. Evaluated.C. Resisted.D. Marketed.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. RFC: A Pineer in Frest Cnservatin
B. Public Apps: Platfrms fr Rainfrest Prtectin
C. Listening t Nature: Guardians Prtecting Frests
D. Mnitring Sunds: An Apprach t Prtecting Trees
