I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy knocked me for six. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along.
4. Why did the author organize the trip
A. To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle.
B. To make shared memories for the family.
C. To document the kids’ exposure to nature.
D. To relive the special outback experiences.
5. What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Tripped over my words. B. Argued about the stories.
C. Subscribed to their views. D. Reflected on the memories.
6. What does the author think of the trip
A. It well fulfills its original purpose.
B. It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
C. It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
D. It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
7. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage
A. Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B. City-raised kids can easily adapt to the outback.
C. We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes.
D. The outback offers more unique sights than cities.
C
Electrolyte (电解质) drinks have become increasingly popular on gym floors and running routes, widely promoted as essential for boosting athletic performance and speeding up post-exercise recovery. Once used only by top athletes to cope with intense training in hot conditions, they now attract casual gym-goers and office workers as a simple daily way to stay hydrated (水分充足). These products, ranging from ready-to-drink sports drinks to powders that mix with water, can cost a few pounds per day, adding up to a considerable sum over time.
Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a key role in regulating nerves, supporting muscle function and maintaining fluid balance in the human body. Professor Graeme Close, a leading sports nutrition researcher at Liverpool John Moores University, points out that most people are wasting money on electrolyte drinks unnecessarily. A regular, well-designed diet can easily supply enough electrolytes for the average person’s daily needs.
However, during long and intense exercise where people sweat heavily, their electrolyte levels may drop significantly. “If you exercise for a long period of time, especially if you are a salty sweater, adding electrolytes in the form of sodium (钠) is a good choice,” Close says. Besides, electrolyte drinks can increase thirst, which helps people drink more water — something particularly necessary during extended workouts.
For moderate exercise such as a short trip to the gym, electrolytes are not necessary at all. “Just sip water regularly. That’s more than good enough, so keep your hard-earned money for other things,” Close advises. Of course, if you just enjoy the taste and it encourages you to drink more during exercise, it is not a bad thing. Instead of buying expensive commercial powders, he suggests a simple homemade mix: two-thirds water, one-third fruit juice (like pineapple juice) and a tiny pinch of salt. He also notes there’s little scientific evidence that taking electrolytes first thing in the morning brings any real benefit.
8. Which best describes the current market for electrolyte drinks
A. Primarily used for top athletes in extreme training.
B. Chiefly sold as sports drinks to professionals.
C. Mainly sold as costly nerve disease treatments.
D. Shifted from professional to the general market.
9. Why does Professor Close think people waste money on electrolyte drinks
A. Such drinks are mostly just plain water.
B. People mix electrolyte powders poorly.
C. A normal balanced diet offers enough electrolytes.
D. The body maintains fluid balance by itself.
10. What can be inferred about the recommended homemade mix
A. It works best when taken in the morning.
B. It only works with special pineapple juice.
C. It is worse for the body than commercial products.
D. It is a cheap alternative to expensive drinks.
11. What is Professor Close’s attitude towards electrolyte drinks
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.
D
In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring innovative solutions in unexpected areas — specifically the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature introduces a promising discovery: certain kinds of naturally existing bacteria can greatly reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N O), a powerful greenhouse gas.
Nitrous oxide, mainly released from farmland because of the overuse of nitrogen (氮)-based fertilizers, has long been a critical climate concern. As Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences explains, this gas traps heat 265 times more effectively than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and can stay in the air for over a century.
To develop this eco-friendly solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Based on earlier studies, their main goal was to identify certain bacteria that could reduce N O emissions without staying in the soil for too long, so as to keep the soil healthy. Tests showed two weeks after the second fertilizer application, the bacteria cut emissions by about half. After three months, the soil’s microbial (微生物的) makeup remained the same, indicating the bacteria pose no threat to the soil ecosystem.
The bacteria are not genetically changed and live naturally in special devices that transform organic waste into biofuels. Paul Carini of the University of Arizona noted that these bacteria’s natural origin may facilitate agricultural acceptance. Besides, the bacteria can be added to fertilizers for farmers to use directly, which makes the method cost-effective and opens up numerous possibilities for managing farmland in a sustainable way.
However, significant challenges still exist before it can be widely used. Researchers explained that soils vary greatly around the world, so more field tests are needed to make sure the bacteria work effectively in different environments. Most importantly, farmers currently get no financial motivation to use such methods. Bakken argued that governments must make policies to make reducing N O emissions profitable. If these barriers are overcome, this bacterial treatment could greatly reduce agriculture’s role in climate change.
12. Why is nitrous oxide a critical climate concern
A. It is overused in nitrogen-based fertilizers.
B. It traps heat much more effectively than CO .
C. It is mainly released from farmland.
D. It destroys crop growth in farmland easily.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Researchers failed in earlier experiments.
B. The bacteria don’t grow well in organic waste.
C. The bacteria are environmentally safe for the soil.
D. Organic waste changes the soil’s microbial structure.
14. Which aspect of the bacteria is mainly discussed in paragraph 4
A. Its producing process. B. Its working principle.
C. Its potential benefits. D. Its research value.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Natural Bacteria Against Climate Change
B. Harmful Greenhouse Gas From Farmland
C. Significant Changes in Soil Ecosystem
D. Effective Approaches to Stop Warming

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。
Studying abroad in Canada, I never thought that the small chopsticks would become a unique barrier in my cross-cultural adaptation.
For a Chinese student, using chopsticks to eat is the most natural thing. But here, every time I ate in the cafeteria and skillfully picked up food with chopsticks, the foreign classmates around me always cast curious and slightly confused looks, and from time to time, there were whispers: “How do they do that ” At first, I would smile and briefly explain how to use chopsticks to them. But as the number of times increased, the sense of strangeness brought about by cultural differences gradually made me feel uncomfortable. Even for a moment, I hesitated to switch to a knife and fork to eat in order to fit in.
During a group dinner, everyone sat around the restaurant. I habitually reached out for chopsticks. Jack, who was in the same group, saw this and exclaimed excitedly: “Hey, let’s see your magic with chopsticks!” As he spoke, he also picked up a pair of chopsticks and clumsily imitated. But before he could pick up anything, the chopsticks slipped from his hand. The other classmates laughed, and my face burned. I lowered my head to eat awkwardly, but my heart was in a mess. I realized that in their eyes, chopsticks were just a novel “performance prop (道具)”, and I, as a “foreigner” using chopsticks, seemed to have become an object of observation.
After that, when facing others’ curiosity about chopsticks, I lost the initial enthusiasm to share and just casually smiled. I was afraid of this excessive attention, afraid that my cultural habits would become an “outsider label” in the eyes of others. I even began to deliberately reduce the number of times I used chopsticks in public, trying to make myself “fit in” with the local dining style.

【答案】
Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival. Each country’s student union was required to set up a booth to showcase their own culture. Our Chinese student union decided to take chopsticks as the theme. At first, I was a little hesitant, but when I saw my classmates actively preparing, I was also infected by their enthusiasm. I thought, since chopsticks are an important part of Chinese culture, why not let more people know and understand them
I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize. I told them that chopsticks represent the wisdom and philosophy of the Chinese people. They are not only a tool for eating, but also a cultural carrier. As I spoke, more and more people gathered around our booth. Some of them were curious, some were amazed, and some even tried to use chopsticks under my guidance. Looking at their serious expressions and the smiles on their faces, I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. I realized that cultural differences are not a barrier, but a bridge. As long as we are willing to share and communicate, we can understand and respect each other’s cultures.
