Hidden beside the crowded Western Market food hall, a brightly lit vending machine (自动售卖机) is turning heads. Instead of snacks or drinks, this one sells something more enriching: books.
Inspired by a European book vending machine and troubled by the struggles of her fellow prize-winning authors, Lauren Woods, an award-winning fiction author herself, launched LitBox. The vending machine serves works by Washington, D.C.-area authors, including those from small presses or ignored by traditional bookstores. For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; it’s a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world’ more inclusive.
By offering literature from outside the usual commercial pattern, LitBox stands as a living challenge to an industry centering on major publishers. Woods holds that quality doesn’t always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up — readers now choose small press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones. This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts to arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grassroots literary lifeline. “Everyone is telling you that your words and your voice don’t matter,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of saying: Actually, they do.”
LitBox features a variety of selections from poetry and fiction to children’s books, all by D.C.-area writers. Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Market’s manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. “The idea that LitBox showcases local authors was really a special touch.”
Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now-working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books. “I’m so proud to live in this city,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of sharing my pride in the people I live with and talk to every day.”
With one simple but powerful idea, Woods is helping rewrite the rules of access and visibility in publishing.
4. Why is LitBox a passion project to Woods
A. It possesses commercial potential. B. It promotes local literary works.
C. It will help local literature win prizes. D. It will replace traditional bookstores.
5. What might Woods agree with’
A. Readers avoid major publishers. B. Market standards define readership.
C. Arts funding favors local literature. D. Small presses have big impacts.
6 What can be inferred about LitBox in paragraph 4
A. It reflects community services. B. It attracts business investment.
C. It features authors nationwide. D. It receives public recognition.
7. How will Woods develop LitBox in the future
A. Cooperate with more publishers. B. Extend its distribution.
C. Raise funds for more authors. D. Diversify its book selection.
C
When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks” — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite.
The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago.
Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall.
“The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that.
Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.”
8. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on
A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change.
C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance.
9. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show
A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns.
C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse
10. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Different model. B. Sustainable system.
C. Similar example. D. Historical background.
11. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets
A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change.
C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data.
D
Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid.
The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.”
The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻).
After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil.
Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture
Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed.
12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice
A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water.
C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency.
13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4
A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material.
C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development.
C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order.
C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution.

You tend to explain something in more detail — than required and beyond what is useful.
____17____ For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works. However, for the person answering, they feel worried that the “direct and simple response’’ doesn’t get across enough information.

One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”, When you’re asked to do something you don’t really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail. ____20____In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.”
A. In this case you are overexplaining.
B. But it gets easier with more practice.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As Ella managed to get through the fan area, she thought about Tom Masterton. He had the seat next to hers and each week, before and after the match, there was always time for a casual chat. Now, after long, dull weeks without their beloved football, she was eager to share her wonderful life and catch up on Tom’s recent news.
His family didn’t share his love of the beautiful game, so he seemed happy to chat with Ella He was proud of his children and grandkids, and lived in hope that one day, Theo, his youngest grandson, might fall in love with football.
At the entrance Ella opened her backpack for a security check. Two bars of chocolate sat on top ready for their big moment to celebrate their football team’s victory. It had become sort of a rule that the two would eat a square each after every home goal (主队进球).
Ella made her way to her seat, put down her backpack, and looked at the empty space beside her. Usually her old friend would be ready and waiting, holding up his ancient mechanical watch as a joke when she arrived. It wasn’t like him to be late, which made her uneasy.
Just then, a young man edged past her and sat straight down in Tom’s seat. She side-eyed him, failing to find any sign to identify, him as a home supporter. And he seemed quite uninterested that their team had just scored. He even stole a quick glance at Ella as if they had known each other.
Suddenly, a voice came from the ground announcer asking all supporters to stand and pay tribute (致敬)to a home supporter who had recently passed away. Ella froze in her seat—the tribute took place in the 76th minute and Tom was aged seventy-six. The fans rose as one, clapping solidly and consistently for 60 seconds to show their appreciation for a long-time fellow supporter.

答案】
Dear Alex,
I’m writing to share with you the “Art Comes to Campus” activity at our school last week. It was organized by the city art museum to bring art closer to the students.
I was really impressed by the remarkable paintings and intricate sculptures, which provided a chance for me to appreciate the artistic techniques behind these works. What excited me most was that I even tried my hand at some simple sketching!
The activity not only refined my taste in art, but inspired me to look at the world through an artist’s eyes. I’d love to hear if you have participated in similar events at your school. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】
Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young man’s cheeks. She suddenly realized who he was — Tom’s youngest grandson, Theo. The young man turned to her, his voice trembling slightly. “I’m Theo. Grandpa always talked about you, about the chocolate you two shared after every home goal, and how you were the only one who really got his love for this team.” He pulled out an ancient mechanical watch from his pocket, the very one Tom used to joke with Ella about. “He wanted me to come here, to see what made this place so special to him.”
Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo. “Your grandpa was the best match companion I ever had,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. Theo took the chocolate, his fingers brushing hers, and smiled through his tears. As the game went on, Ella told him stories about Tom’s silly jokes, his unshakable faith in the team even during the worst seasons, and how he’d always save her a seat right here. When the team scored again, they both raised their chocolate squares, just like Ella and Tom used to do. In that moment, Ella knew Tom’s love for the team, and for their little tradition, was in good hands.
