Street food is an essential part of Chinese culinary (食物的) culture. Exploring street food is not just about eating — it’s a cultural experience that engages all the senses and provides valuable insight into China’s diverse food traditions. The following are some famous street food destinations worth visiting.
Kuanzhai Alley
Located in downtown Chengdu, Kuanzhai Alley is a well-preserved historic area consisting of three Qing Dynasty alleys. It is renowned for its authentic Sichuan flavors, so don’t miss the chance to try local favorites like spicy hotpots, chewy Dandan noodles, and skewers infused with numbing Sichuan peppercorns and fiery chili oil.

With their long necks and spotted coats, giraffes are among Africa’s most breathtaking animals. For decades, scientists believed that all giraffes belonged to a single species. A 2025 report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) now overturns that idea, recognizing four separate species: Northern, reticulated, Masai and Southern. Each group is considered distinct because its members share unique genes and can produce healthy offspring (后代) only within the group.
The change is the fruit of a giant data project led by IUCN researcher Michael Brown. Over the past decade, teams collected more than 2,000 DNA samples across Africa and compared skull (头骨) measurements. Genes showed clear molecular (分子的) gaps among the four groups, while bumps on the skull differed in shape: Northern giraffes have tall bumps; Southern giraffes have low, wide ones. Rivers and valleys acted as natural barriers, keeping populations apart long enough for these differences to develop.
Separating giraffes is not just academic. Northern giraffes, living in parts of Congo, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, suffer heavy poaching — the illegal hunting and killing of wild animals. Masai giraffes in Kenya and Tanzania lose their savanna (热带草原) habitat to cattle grassland and farmland. Reticulated and Southern giraffes face smaller but still worrying pressures. “Each species has different population sizes, threats and conservation needs,” Mr Brown notes, so separating them is essential if we want to protect them effectively.
The latest numbers make that need urgent (紧急的). About 7,000 Northern giraffes remain, making them one of the most threatened large mammals on Earth. Roughly 21,000 reticulated and 44,000 Masai giraffes are left, while Southern giraffes total around 69,000. “If not all giraffes are the same, we have to protect them individually,” says Stephanie Fennessy of the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Recognizing four species is the first step toward ensuring that each group — and its unique evolutionary (进化的) heritage — survives for future generations.
To help the public understand these findings, the IUCN plans to launch educational programs in schools and museums. By teaching children why each giraffe species matters, researchers hope to build support for conservation efforts. After all, saving giraffes means saving the African savanna itself.
24. What old idea did the 2025 IUCN report change
A. Africa has only one giraffe species.
B. Skull size is more useful than genes.
C. Spot shapes decide the whole classification.
D. Giraffe diversity has no impact on their future.
25. How did the researchers set the four species apart
A. By height and neck length.
B. By spots and colours alone.
C. By their food and water sources.
D. By genes, skull shape, and location.
26. Which of these situations does the underlined word “poaching” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A guard shoots a giraffe to protect village crops.
B. A tourist photographs a giraffe with a long-lens camera.
C. A hunter kills a giraffe at night to sell its tail as a souvenir.
D. A scientist takes a small blood sample of a giraffe for DNA study.
27. Why does the writer list the data of each giraffe species in paragraph 4
A. To describe the different spot patterns of each species.
B. To argue that counting total giraffes is enough for setting standards.
C. To prove that separating the four species is necessary for protection.
D. To show that Southern giraffes can make up for the other three groups.
C
Your creative hobbies could do good to your brain, according to a new study.
The study looked at brain activity data from 1,240 participants across 13 countries. Researchers used the data to create brain clocks — machine learning models that compare actual and neurological (神经系统的) age and can find cognitive (认知的) differences in patients. Then, they applied those models to 232 people who make art, dance, play video games and make music, all with different levels of creative experience. Researchers found that those who practiced their skill regularly had signs of slower brain aging. The strongest link was found in tango dancers, whose brains were on average seven years younger than their biological age.
Even those who only engaged in short-term training in a creative activity saw benefits, the research found. “One of our key takeaways is that you do not need to be an expert to benefit from creativity. Indeed, we found that learners gained from brief video game training sessions,” says Carlos Coronel, the paper’s first author.
Those video game training sessions involved teaching 24 right-handed participants how to play “StarCraft II”, a strategy video game involving creative problem-solving. The training lasted 30 hours over three to four weeks. Another group, used as a control, was trained in “Hearthstone”, a digital collectible card game that has more concrete rules and requires less strategizing. Those who spent time playing “StarCraft II” each week showed slower brain aging and did better on brain tests after their training period than controls. The more skilled the participants were in their chosen art forms, the lower their brain age, the researchers write.
The findings could have important public health implications, says Agustin Ibá ez, a scientist at Adolfo Ibá ez University in Chile. Perhaps creativity, like exercise, could be recommended to patients to protect brain health. “This is not relevant only for neuroscience, but it is a cultural and policy opportunity,” Ibá ez notes. “Our societies need to reimagine healthy aging through both medical and non-medical domains, such as creativity, arts and play.”
28. Why did researchers make brain clocks
A. To develop new brain video games. B. To research various art benefits.
C. To measure participants’ activities. D. To identify brain aging differences.
29. What does the underlined word “takeaways” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Conclusions. B. Assumptions. C. Predictions. D. Experiments.
30. What does the study imply about “StarCraft II”
A. It requires brain power. B. It boosts brain health.
C. It simplifies brain work. D. It reduces brain strategizing.
31. What is the study’s public health value according to Ibá ez
A Advancing medical reform. B. Training local medical staff.
C. Bettering social interactions. D. Providing reference for policies.
D
The Amazon rainforest is often described as the “lungs of the planet”. Stretching across nine nations, it provides shelter for millions of species and stores large amounts of carbon. Despite climate change and deforestation (砍伐森林), new research has revealed a surprising discovery: the trees themselves are growing larger.
A team of nearly 100 researchers monitored tree sizes in 188 plots across the Amazon rainforest between 1971 and 2015. They found that the average tree size — including both small and large trees — increased by 3. 3 percent every decade.
The growth is linked to the rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). “Large trees are hugely beneficial in absorbing atmospheric CO2, which in turn acts as a fertilizer to nourish them. The increased availability of atmospheric CO2 due to climate change serves to boost photosynthesis (光合作用), speeding up tree growth,” joint lead author Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert said.
While the growth of trees brings positive news, the research also warns of significant risks. Trees may become more susceptible to other climate-driven factors, such as drought, heat and wildfire. Human activities like deforestation and the expansion of roads and farms could also reduce the trees’ ability to absorb CO2.
“Although our research has shown that trees in undamaged forests are still increasing in size, any benefits of this in terms of the carbon sink can be easily cancelled out by deforestation and logging impacts. Our results suggest that the Amazon rainforest can handle climate change really well. My fear is that this ability won’t matter at all unless we can stop deforestation itself,” Esquivel-Muelbert said.
32. Why is the Amazon rainforest called the “lungs of the planet”
A. It has the most trees among all forests in the world.
B. Its trees can produce more oxygen than other plants.
C. It is the largest forest that stretches across nine nations.
D. It is home to millions of species and holds much carbon.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The results of climate change. B. Reasons for the increase in tree size.
C. Essential conditions for tree growth. D. The key role of trees in storing CO2.
34. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Sensitive. B. Tolerant. C. Tough. D. Beneficial.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Amazon Trees Grow Bigger with More CO2 B. The Amazon Rainforest: Growth and Risks
C. Deforestation: A Big Threat to the Amazon D. How to Keep CO2 in the Amazon Rainforest

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I feel like something in my life is out of control, I always depend on the comforting power of organization. ____36____ One December morning, a good friend of mine brought me a well-made new year calendar as a gift. I hung it in the kitchen, unaware of the connection it would have with my life.
I detailed my entire schedule on that calendar. Every appointment, every visitor, every work meeting — my whole life was arranged clearly on those pages, and it put me at ease. ____37____ I’d check it every day. My busy schedule seemed manageable with everything written down in black and white.
The wall calendar seemed to have become a part of my life. ____38____ It was fixed in place and therefore not portable. Then I came up with a more convenient approach: I noted important events in my phone calendar for reminders. I also took pictures of the wall calendar’s pages on my phone, so I had my schedule with me wherever I went.
____39____ When another new year was approaching, a wall calendar was no longer on my shopping list. I was using my phone calendar just like everyone else, and having my entire personal life on display for anyone passing the kitchen to see made me feel increasingly embarrassed.
But after one or two years, I, somehow, began to miss the calming process of writing my entire month out by hand. There was something comforting and satisfying about seeing a physical calendar, organized and waiting to prove that my schedule wasn’t actually that intense. Not having my day laid out visually robbed me of my peace of mind, I realized. ____40____
A. Its downside, however, was clear.
B. That seemed confusing for a busy me.
C. How could I ease my schedule anxiety
D. So, the next year, I bought myself another.
E. Modern technology gradually had its place.
F. I once made calendar-like charts to achieve it.
G. Isn’t it a perfect time for it to return this December

Mike and his mother, Sheila, had only recently moved to a new home due to Sheila’s job transfer. Mike’s father had died two years before, so Sheila worked hard to provide for herself and Mike.
One day, Mike saw four construction workers when he was on the way home with his mother. The men were repairing a portion of the road near Mike’s house. It was terribly hot, and Mike’s heart went out to the tired workers. That’s when Mike had an idea. He rushed inside, opened the fridge, and grabbed some bottles of lemonade (柠檬水) made by themselves. Then he hurried up to the workers.
“Excuse me, sir,” he said in a loud voice. “You look very tired. Please have the lemonade. You will feel better!” The workers paused from their work and exchanged looks, smiling and delighted that the young boy was so kind to them. “Thank you very much, young man,” one of them replied as he accepted the lemonade. “It’s okay,” Mike said with a smile and then waved goodbye to them.
From that day on, Mike brought lemonade or water to the workers every day. Soon enough, he became familiar with all of them. One day, when Mike went to offer them water, the workers observed he wasn’t as cheerful as before. They were worried and asked him why he seemed upset. Pouting (嘴) his lips, the boy replied, “My birthday is only two days away and my mother will be caught up with some work that day. We are new here, so I don’t have any friends. I will be alone.”
The workers felt bad for Mike, thinking he didn’t deserve to be sad ever — particularly not on his special day-so they came up with a plan.
