Green public transport is quickly becoming an important way to fight climate change and make cities better places to live in. As cities around the world deal with more pollution and heavy traffic, government leaders play a key part in supporting eco-friendly travel choices. This is a strong way to lower harm to the environment while making it easier for people to get around.
The need for this global change is clear: the transport industry makes up about 25% of the world’s CO emissions (排放), and city travel is a big part of that number. And more and more places are moving to greener public transport.
The transition to green public transport is not just about reducing emissions; it’s also improving air quality and public health. The shift to electric and other clean technologies is becoming increasingly significant. Some countries have successfully carried out eco-friendly transport projects.
Moving towards eco-friendly public transport around the world is really important for building greener cities and cutting the environmental harm caused by transport. The figures above show clear improvements have been made.
While some regions within these countries are progressing, a more comprehensive and unified approach is necessary. This approach is essential to achieve significant advancements in green public transport. For instance, despite having a high number of electric vehicles, the UK performs poorly in several aspects of green transport, featuring limited public transport access and a low density of EV chargers.
1. What makes green public transport a necessary transition
A．The pressure from cities’ heavy traffic. B．The high CO output from city transport.
C．The growing shortage of renewable energy. D．The widespread popularity of electric cars.
2. Which country has the highest rate of access to public transport
A．Netherlands. B．France. C．China. D．Germany.
3. What does the writer think of the achievements in green public transport
A．Progressing yet Imperfect. B．Unnoticeable and Disappointing.
C．Promising but Uncontrollable. D．Groundbreaking and Significant.

A young humpback whale, named “Timmy” by German media, had a difficult time after it got stuck near the German coast. On March 23, people first saw it trapped on a sandbank near the city of Luebeck. It managed to free itself but then became stuck again several times.
Finally, on a Saturday morning, after weeks of effort, the whale was released into the North Sea off the coast of Denmark. It had been carried on a large flat boat called a barge. A member of the rescue team said the whale left the barge at around 8:45 am and was now swimming on its own, freely, and in the right direction. The rescue team members cheered as they watched Timmy disappear into the deep water.
However, the rescue effort was anything but easy. The whale’s long struggle attracted a lot of media attention. TV channels, websites, and social media influencers covered the story non-stop. At the beginning of April, German officials had given up trying to save the whale. They believed the animal was too weak and could not survive. However, many people were very upset about this decision. They wrote letters, called officials, and expressed their anger on social media. Two wealthy businessmen then proposed a private rescue plan. After strong public pressure, the government finally agreed to let them try.
The rescuers first tried using inflatable cushions and floating platforms, but that did not work. The whale was too large and the water too shallow. Then they came up with the idea of using a barge to transport the whale to deeper water. Many experts criticized the plan, saying it would only cause the whale more pain and stress. The rescue effort was seen as unlikely to succeed. But the rescue team decided to go ahead anyway. Fortunately, the rescue was a success. Timmy was set free and swam away.
4. What happened to the whale at first
A．It was hit by a large boat. B．It was caught off the coast.
C．It was saved by German officials. D．It was released into the North Sea.
5. How did the public feel about the whale
A．Concerned. B．Uncaring. C．Disappointed. D．Hopeful.
6. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．Media attention postponed the rescue. B．The whale got hurt during the rescue.
C．The rescue process was not smooth. D．The rescue was funded by the public.
7. What is the best title for the passage
A．Practical Ways to Save a Whale B．Timmy the Whale: A Cry for Help
C．The Secret Life of a Humpback Whale D．Timmy the Whale: An Eventful Rescue
C
Raindrops make a sound that humans find pleasant. But for plants, the pitter-patter of rain is more like a morning alarm. When rain falls on soil or water, the vibrations (振动) underground are much stronger than those on the surface. New research shows that plants can use this as a wake-up call.
According to a study in Scientific Reports, the sound of rain helps rice seeds produce new shoots up to 40 percent faster than usual. This is the first direct proof that plants can sense sounds around them and respond. The authors believe seeds of other plants may act the same way.
For a long time, scientists have wondered how much plants can sense in their environment. Some evidence suggests plants may be able to “think”, “see”, “hear” and even make sounds. However, scientists have rarely seen a clear cause-and-effect relationship showing how plants react to their surroundings in real time. This new study focuses on the link between sound and seed development.
Inside plant cells, there are tiny structures called statoliths. They are like small bags of starch (淀粉) that move and settle at the bottom of cells. They help plants detect changes in their position and stability (稳定性) — and tell growing roots which way to go. Nicholas Makris, a professor at MIT and co-author of the study, and his team thought that rain sounds underwater might create strong vibrations that shake these statoliths, possibly speeding up germination.
To test this idea, they placed about 8,000 rice seeds in water — their favorite growing condition — and played rain sounds to them. The result: the seeds sprouted 30 to 40 percent faster than seeds kept in the same conditions but without the sound.
The researchers believe there is a biological advantage to sensing rain this way. “Seeds can sense sound in ways that help them survive,” said Makris, “Water is denser than air, so a raindrop makes larger pressure waves underwater. If a seed is wet, the vibrations can reach it more strongly.” This ability may help seeds take quick advantage of rainfall to grow.
8. What occurs to rice seeds when they “hear” rain sounds according to the study
A．The growth comes to a stop. B．Their growth speeds up.
C．They produce more starch. D．They develop longer roots.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A．Plants can make sounds to communicate.
B．Plant sensory abilities are fully understood.
C．Scientists have solved the long-lasting puzzle.
D．Few clues indicated plants’ response patterns.
10. What does the underlined word “detect” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Ignore. B．Sense. C．Prevent. D．Make.
11. What important roles does sound sensing play for seeds
A．It reshapes their inner structure. B．It helps seeds store more water.
C．It improves seeds’ survival ability. D．It lets seeds collect water from air.

Cai Yuqingyan, a world champion in Paralympic, lost her leg in a traffic accident before her third birthday. Recently, she was fitted with an intelligent bionic (仿生的) leg developed by Chinese neurotech company BrainCo. “Now when my daughter runs toward me, I can stand steady and catch her,” she said. Her experience reflects a broader trend as brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies begin moving beyond research labs into commercial medical devices (设备) aimed to help people recover and get assistive care.
China has about 85 million disabled people, according to the China Disabled Persons’ Federation. Among them, 24 million have limb disabilities. Many advanced assistive devices are expensive or difficult to access, limiting their use among potential users. That gap helped shape BrainCo’s commercial strategy, which the company says focuses on usability and affordability. Engineers focused on improving the technology so that the bionic legs and hands can move more exactly. The company says its prosthetic hands can move individual fingers independently, allowing users to perform tasks such as typing or writing.
Around the world, much of the attention around BCI technology has focused on invasive (侵入式的) brain implants developed by companies such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink. These systems implant electrodes directly into the brain to pick up neural signals, but they require neurosurgery and lengthy and strict approval. Instead, BrainCo has focused on wearable devices designed to read neural signals through outside sensors without invasive operation. The approach avoids surgical procedures and can help more disabled people.
Despite the technological progress, wider adoption of BCI-based devices still face challenges. Healthcare systems and insurance companies are careful about this new technology. Also, it takes a long time to buy the assistive devices. To let more people use its products, BrainCo makes core parts by itself and uses Chinese supply chains. This helps cut down the cost of making the devices.
12. Why does the author mention Cai Yuqingyan’s experience
A．To introduce the topic. B．To show Cai’s personal achievement.
C．To present the background. D．To stress the importance of BCI tech.
13. What helped shape BrainCo’s commercial strategy
A．Supply chain diversification. B．Popularization of bionic tech.
C．Input-output imbalance. D．Supply-demand mismatch.
14. What is special about BrainCo’s BCI devices
A．They reduce risks in brain operation. B．They depend on invasive brain implants.
C．They are noninvasive wearable devices. D．They are tailored to users’ requirements.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Cai Yuqingyan is a great disabled athlete in China.
B．Advanced assistive devices are popular in China now.
C．BCI technology is becoming commercialized worldwide.
D．BrainCo has developed wearable and affordable devices.
