On busy days, McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park will offer 103 parking passes for 8 a.m. to noon, an additional 103 passes for 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and 35 passes for the entire day. According to California State Parks, pass holders will pay no additional charge but must make reservations. Visitors with overnight campground reservations will not need additional passes for day use.
The 129-foot waterfall, a wide curtain of white water falling down a basalt cliff face, generates its own rainbow and once was dubbed (誉为) the “Eighth Wonder of the World” by President Roosevelt.
But for much of its history, it “experienced limited visitation due to its rural location ... and lack of publicity,” the state parks department said in a statement. “However, over the past decade, and especially with the growth of social media, that secret is now world-famous.” A state parks spokesperson told The Times that in 2015, Burney Falls had 121,495 visitors. Numbers “have steadily risen since that time, peaking at 322,192 visitors in 2020 during the pandemic,” the spokesperson said.
The park in recent years has faced increased erosion and damage to sensitive vegetation. Heavy traffic and illegal parking have created unsafe conditions along State Highway 89, one of the heavily forested county’s main thoroughfares and a critical fire evacuation route.
“Visitors inside the park are met with extreme overcrowding, long restroom lines, and overflowing trash cans instead of a peaceful, rejuvenating experience at one of the nation’s most awe-inspiring natural landmarks,” California State Parks said.
The department said it will evaluate the day-use reservation system at the end of the summer and make adjustments if necessary for future peak visitation periods.
“Unfortunately, for several years it has been clear something needs to change at Burney Falls,” State Sen. Megan Dahle remarked. “I hope this is a temporary measure on the way to longer-term fixes to accommodate visitors.”
24. What requirement should pass holders satisfy to enter the park
A. Reserve in advance. B. Limit visiting hours strictly.
C. Pay extra service fees. D. Book overnight accommodation.
25. What contributes greatly to the steadily increasing visitation
A. It’s beautiful rainbow. B. President Roosevelt’s admiration.
C. Online widespread exposure. D. Convenient parking and low admission fee.
26.What does the underlined word “rejuvenating” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Challenging. B. Confusing. C. Demanding. D. Relaxingr.
27. What is Megan Dahle’s opinion about the department’s measure
A. It proves totally ineffective. B. It needs further improvement.
C. It brings immediate benefits. D. It solves problems permanently.

Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable (一次性的) film camera. Despite this, he’s always been attracted by the ocean, especially sharks. He also watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills.
In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots “Sea Garden”, Gross and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene—the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen.
When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once they have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until they have recorded it fully.
For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking the time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change—a shift from unconcern to active care.
28. What can we learn about Shane Gross from paragraph 1
A. He grew up in the coastal area. B. He longed to be a dive instructor.
C. He followed his childhood passion. D. He did academic research on sharks.
29. Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle
A. To criticize overfishing. B. To protect natural habitats.
C. To save the injured animal. D. To highlight marine pollution.
30. What is the key to good underwater photography according to paragraph 3
A. A complete story. B. A large image.
C. A strong motivation. D. A unique scene.
31. What does Shane suggest as the first step toward caring for the ocean
A. Promoting green lifestyles. B. Appreciating ocean’s beauty.
C. Sharing marine knowledge. D. Documenting nature’s wonders.

A wave of startups say seaweed is a solution to climate change—able to absorb atmospheric carbon, provide raw materials for biofuels, and feed the world—no fertilizers (化肥), fresh water, or even land required. Running Tide, a Maine-based company, is working on a system that will eventually sink the buoys (浮标), attached with long locks of seaweed, to the deep ocean floor, where the carbon they contain will remain stored for 800 years or more.
Running Tide was founded by Marty Odlin, an engineer and fourth-generation commercial fisherman. The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than nearly every other oceanic region, and Odlin has seen the changes firsthand. About 15 years ago, Odlin heard a talk from Klaus Lackner—the physicist who popularised the idea of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It clicked. “It was like, oh, this is right because there’s no way we’re going to get off fossil (化石的) fuels in the next 50 years,” he recalls. “We’ve got to pull it down.”
Using seaweed to draw down carbon would be an elegant solution—if it works. Seaweed forests collectively cover an estimated two million square kilometers and absorb as much carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But much of that storage is short-lived. When the seaweed is harvested, eaten by animals, or washed ashore, its stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Running Tide’s model, in theory at least, would take that stored carbon and sink it to the ocean floor where it would remain for centuries, breaking down slowly.
Some scientists are careful about rushing ahead before fundamental scientific, environmental, and regulatory questions are answered. “Climate change is intensifying, and people are panicking,” says Kristen Davis, a professor of University of California Irvine, “yet the science is not there to actually confirm that it’s a good idea.”
32. What can we learn about Running Tide’s system
A. It removes carbon from seaweed. B. It turns seaweed into fertilizers.
C. It sinks seaweed into the ocean floor. D. It stores seaweed as food sources.
33. What did Lackner’s speech lead Odlin to do
A. Monitor changes in oceanic regions. B. Reduce commercial fishing industry.
C. Set restrictions on the use of fossil fuels. D. Remove carbon from the atmosphere.
34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Steps of a carbon replacement method. B. The underlying logic of sinking seaweeds.
C. Examples of massive seaweed forests. D. The carbon absorbing ability of seaweeds.
35. Why does the author quote Kristen Davis
A. To present the issue objectively. B. To prove Odlin’s opinion.
C. To advocate scientists’ cooperation. D. To emphasise the climate crisis.
