Positano
Featuring houses of different colors well layered on the cliffs(悬崖), Positano is also charming with the blue sea, blue sky, white clouds, flowers dotted with the town. Lined with umbrellas, beach chairs and yachts, the town's beach transports you to a beautiful setting. When the sun sets, the town bathes in golden sunshine, creating a perfect photograph opportunity.

Nestled in the Itria Valley countryside, the small town Alberobello awaits. It features a kind of whitewashed round houses like mushrooms from a distance, the unique trullo architecture, listed as a World Heritage Site. If you're in the mood for more fun, the Itria Valley is a great starting point for picturesque bike rides and scenic walks, with the Castellana Caves being only a short drive away.
Cefalù
Cefalù is the example of old-town elegance. Stone streets, a sandy beach, and local crafts shops make the town so attractive as a destination. Whether you want to go on a historic exploration or want a city-style break, the small town has it all. The main church of Cefalù, Duomo di Cefalù, built in the 11th century, is the most recognizable landmark in the city.

Campaigners have been promoting the idea of purchasing local food recently, with the argument that it can reduce “food miles,” referring to the distance food travels from the producer to the shop owner. The greater the food miles, the higher the carbon emissions. Therefore, buying local food results in a lower carbon footprint and is considered more environmentally friendly.
Nonetheless, the actual situation is more complex than it appears. Importantly, imported food often possesses a lower carbon footprint compared to locally grown alternatives. Consider apples, for instance. Local apples in Britain, bought during winter or spring, have usually been stored in refrigeration for months, consuming substantial energy. In contrast, importing apples from New Zealand during their natural season, in spring, is more energy-efficient. Similarly, producing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK has a greater environmental impact than importing them from Spain, where the climate favors their growth.
Additionally, the mode of transportation plays a significant role. Food transported by air tends to generate higher emissions. However, only a limited selection of items are flown to consumer countries, usually high-value and perishable goods that cannot be locally produced. Even in these cases, the carbon footprint of these foods may not surpass that of locally grown alternatives. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are cultivated in sunny fields using natural fertilizers, in contrast to Britain’s reliance on oil-based fertilizers and machinery.
It is crucial to acknowledge that a product’s journey extends beyond the supermarket. Driving long distances to shop for food can offset any environmental benefits gained from buying locally grown produce. Moreover, opting for local over imported food can negatively impact people in developing countries who rely on selling their produce overseas for their livelihoods.
Some supermarkets have recently attempted to raise awareness about food miles by labeling products to indicate air transportation. However, this message oversimplifies a food’s carbon footprint, which is influenced by various factors. Even if we exclusively purchase locally grown, in-season food, ethical concerns remain, potentially limiting dietary choices and affecting us all.
24. Why might choosing imported apples in the UK during spring be a favorable option
A. It supports local farmers.
B. It minimizes energy consumption.
C. It offers cost-efficiency and convenience.
D. It significantly reduces carbon emissions.
25. According to the author, what should readers consider avoiding
A. Purchasing tomatoes imported from Spain.
B. Undertaking long journeys to buy locally sourced food.
C. Providing help to farmers in poor nations.
D. Buying beans transported by air from Kenya.
26. What is the author’s attitude on labeling food products
A. It facilitates ethical shopping decisions.
B. It fails to provide a comprehensive and accurate description.
C. It elevates awareness of environmental concerns.
D. It offers precise product information.
27. What is the primary objective of this text
A. To resolve a particular issue. B. To make a forward-looking projection.
C. To interpret an observed phenomenon. D. To challenge a common belief.

China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.
The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.
The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings.
The other product is a “multi-channel!” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance (监视) cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second.
“When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%.
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough.” Huang said.
People were reacting differently to the new technology. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an elective way to decrease crime and catch criminals.
28. What did the company do to build the system
A. They employed hundreds of people. B. They gathered many face images.
C. They used the latest technology. D. They spent about a decade building it.
29. According to the passage, which of the following can be true
A. It’s hard to recognize people with masks and sunglasses.
B. The recognition rate of masked faces is about 99.5%.
C. The new system has already been used by the police.
D. The single channel product is as powerful as the multi-channel.
30. According to the passage, which kinds of people may use the new system
A. Physicians. B. Policemen. C. Clowns. D. Lawyers.
31. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To advertise two products of facial recognition.
B. To show conflicting attitudes toward the system.
C. To introduce a new facial recognition system.
D. To show the advantages of facial recognition.
D
In times of distress, a friend would always suggest going for a walk. “Are you overwhelmed by your work Take a talk around the neighborhood.” Comments like this are often said with nothing but the best of intentions, but they used to make me angry as much as being told to drink more water. I did not understand how these things were going to help.
Three years ago, I hit a low point. Once I saw a pair of empty eyes looking at me through the mirror, I knew I was at my breaking point. So, I took the advice I fought so hard to ignore. I went for a walk—with the hope that it would somehow change my life.
I embraced the fresh air everyone seemed to be talking about. But it did nothing. I was just as sad as I was before. I went on a walk every single day for more than a month. Some days I could hardly make it outside, but I managed to push through. I took a picture every time I went. I think I wanted to document (记录) myself trying to make an effort.
One day, the unthinkable happened. I found myself smiling. I realized I had patiently waited all morning to go on this walk. What I once hated had become the best part of my day. I found myself longing to be outside. I never had a destination in mind. I just danced along the trails, stopped to look at the beautiful blue skies and listened to music.
I’m glad I took pictures because there was a noticeable difference in my face. I slowly started to look less tired and defeated. I don’t know why I refused to go on that walk for so long. I guess I didn’t want to believe that something small and seemingly meaningless could actually make an impact on my physical and mental well-being.
If you’re having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year or even a bad life, you should try going for a walk. Sometimes, all we need to do is try.
32. How did the author use to feel when people suggested she go for a walk
A. Pleased. B. Surprised . C. Interested. D. Annoyed.
33. Why did the author decide to go for a walk three years ago
A. Her friend encouraged her. B. Her despair drove her to try.
C. She wanted to challenge herself. D. She was eager to get close to nature.
34. What happened after the author started to go for a walk
A. She felt cheered up after the first week.
B. She always set off with a destination in mind.
C. She was inspired by the pictures she took of herself.
D. She stopped for a while due to lack of progress.
35. What does the author advise us to do
A. Care about our mental well-being.
B. Go for a walk when feeling down.
C. Stay positive when bad things happen.
D. Take other people’s suggestions seriously.

Then one night the phone rang. Not knowing what had happened, I
just saw Dad's face light up. “We'll be right over,” said Dad. Immediately,
we drove to a nearby farm. The farmer opened the barn door. A black and
white cat ran out like a flash. I rubbed my eyes. “Checkers!” I cried. I
scooped him up. And Checkers purred. “I miss you so much!” I said,
rubbing noses with Checkers. The farmer smiled. “Good thing I saw that
advertisement in the paper.”
I looked at Dad “You put an ad in the paper ” As Checkers jumped
up and down around Dad, he patted Checkers gently. It was then that I
realized Dad was not a little concerned about our cat. Checkers batted at
him with his paw. Dad laughed, “That cat,” he said, “It's good to have
him back.” And I, then, warmed up by these two family members, stood
up for a while, with tears welling up in my eyes.
