1、China is experiencing consistent extreme heat, with meteorological (气象学) departments issuing repeated heat warnings. Many cities have been jokingly called "barbecue mode" by netizens, yet the public has shown diverse creative ways to beat the heat.
In Fuling District, Chongqing, despite the 43℃ outdoor temperature, tourists enjoy spicy hotpot in a 26℃ pool. The scenic area also offers "watermelon hotpot" using hollowed (空心的) watermelons as pots. In Wuhan, Hubei, residents turn air raid shelters (防空洞) into natural "air-conditioned rooms". The Sheshan civil defense facility stays at a steady 19℃, where the elderly play chess, young people use free Wi-Fi, and a staff member notes it's more popular than trendy cafes.
In Zhengzhou, Henan, subway stations become midday rest spots for workers. Construction worker Zhang Wei says it's 40℃ outside but only 28℃ inside, saving on AC costs. Local authorities help residents find shelters and cooling spots via mobile searches, with some upgraded to community service hubs. In Suzhou, Jiangsu, people make traditional bean soup look like small garden scenes. They use mint water, candied fruits (to look like small pavilions), and jelly pieces (to look like fish).
Old ways to stay cool also come back. For example, nobles in the Yuan Dynasty used ice blocks to cool fruit, and sellers in the Jin Dynasty sold "ice snow cold water".
Jia Xiaolong, deputy head of the National Climate Center, states China has seen record-breaking temperatures since the flood season, with the average temperature the second-highest on record. Forty-five national weather stations logged all-time high daily temperatures, with Xingping in Shaanxi hitting 43.1℃. China prioritizes climate change adaptation and released a 2024 national plan to build early warning systems for climate-related health risks.
(1)、Which of the following is NOT a creative heat-relief way in modern times?A、Eating hotpot in a cool pool. B、Selling "ice snow cold water". C、Using air raid shelters as lounges.

B、They can use high-speed Wi-Fi to work online. C、The stations have special beds for workers to nap. D、The temperature there is much lower than outside.(3)、What can we learn about China's response to climate change from the passage?A、It has asked all cities to copy Suzhou's bean soup idea. B、It put forward a national plan providing early warnings. C、It has built more swimming pools to help people cool down. D、It has closed some hot tourist spots to avoid heat-related accidents.(4)、What would be the best title for this passage?A、China's National Plan to Fight Climate Change B、Severe Heatwaves Break Records Across China C、Innovative approaches to Escaping Heat in China D、Ancient Cooling Techniques Making a Comeback in China -

19、"Mobile phones killed our man," screamed one headline last year. Also came statements that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss. And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones heat the brain. For anyone who uses a mobile phone, these are worrying times: But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scares and you will hear a different story.
One of the strange effects comes from the now famous "memory loss" study. Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device thatmimicked the microwave emission of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers. The volunteers were all good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen. Prece says he still can't comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end. But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive (感知的) abilities. "I'm pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory," he says.
Another expert, Lattersall, remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss. One result, for instance, suggests that nerve cell synapses (神经元突触) exposed to microwaves become more — rather than less — receptive to undergoing changes linked to the memory formation.
It would be an even happier outcome if microwave turned out to be good for you. It sounds crazy, but a couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California found that mice exposed to microwave for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours (肿瘤) when given a cancer-causing chemical.
So should we forget about mobile phone radiation causing brain tumours and making us unable to think clearly or reasonably?
"If it doesn't certainly cause cancer in animals and cells, then it probably isn't going to cause cancer in humans," says William. And while there's still no absolute proof that mobile phone does damage your memories or give you cancer, the consensus is: Don't panic.
(1)、What worries people who use mobile phones?A、Mobile phones may kill them. B、Mobile phones cause memory loss. C、Mobile phones heat the brain. D、All above is right.(2)、What does the underlined word "mimicked" in the second paragraph most probably mean?A、Changed. B、Improved. C、Copied. D、Reduced.(3)、What is the attitude of Preece to the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive abilities?A、Doubt. B、Disagree. C、Approve. D、Wait and see.(4)、From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that being exposed to microwaves for two hours ________.A、can result in killing you B、is likely to develop brain tumours C、is unlikely to develop brain tumours D、will cause your loss of memory forever(5)、Which of the following statements is true?A、There is no doubt that mobile phones are good for health. B、There is no solid evidence to indicate that mobile phones cause cancer. C、The safety problem with mobile phones will no longer attract public attention. D、Experiments increase public anxiety caused by mobile phones. -
20、Antarctica, that icy desert of the Southern Hemisphere, seems to call to people to cross it. No one had done it alone and without any help before, except Colin O'Brady — a 33-year-old American endurance athlete.
In 2017, British polar explorer Ben Saunders attempted the challenge but he had to abandon the journey after 52 days for lack of food. Another explorer, Henry Worsley, also attempted to cross Antarctica alone supported, but Worsley had to seek help when there were 30 miles left from the end of the journey.
O'Brady spent a year getting ready for all the different aspects of the trip.
For the physical side of things, O'Brady trained every day, doing strength training, according to Men's Health. While every day was different, bench presses and weightlifting were all part of his workout. And cardio (有氧运动) was also necessary.
O'Brady didn't want to repeat the food-based problems that had affected previous attempts. "People who have tried this tough journey in the past, their failures have come unfortunately from not getting that nutrition perfectly right," he said. "I thought perfecting that was important."
To that end, O'Brady worked with Standard Process, a "whole food supplement" company that, with O'Brady's help, made a personalized nutrition bar tailored (定制的) to his body's needs for walking across Antarctica. The size and shape of a gold brick with a light taste of chocolate, the so-called Colin Bar helped him get the 8,000 calories he needed each day.
Then there was the simple matter of figuring out how to pack the sled. According to Outside, O'Brady's sled weighed 375 pounds when he started, carrying 280 of the Colin Bars, additional food, 55 pounds of fuel needed to melt the five liters of water he needed per day and 75 pounds of equipment and clothing.
O'Brady wasn't the only person attempting to cross the continent supported. Louis Rudd, a friend of Worsley, also attempted the journey. Their journey was 912 miles.
O'Brady was the first to finish the journey; he set up camp to wait for Rudd. Then they would fly to Union Glacier together.
(1)、What does the author want to tell us by the examples of explorers he gives in the second paragraph?A、To show the extremely harsh environment of Antarctica. B、To show how tough it is to cross Antarctica without any help. C、To show how one's endurance decides success or failure. D、To show the importance of having a strong body.(2)、What do we know about the "Colin Bar" from the passage?A、It is a kind of food that could help O'Brady slim down. B、It is a kind of food which could provide O'Brady with the energy he needed. C、It is a kind of snack which is made of chocolate. D、It is a kind of nutrition bar that could help O'Brady become strong and healthy.(3)、What made Colin O'Brady's crossing Antarctica possible?①The-physical training. ②Warm clothes against the cold.
③Enough nutrition supplies. ④Rich experience in hiking alone.
⑤The support from his family.
A、①②③ B、①③⑤ C、②③④ D、②④⑤(4)、What are the fourth to the seventh paragraphs mainly about?A、The previous experiences of O'Brady attempting to walk across Antarctica. B、The experience O'Brady got from the previous explorers. C、The preparations O'Brady did for the crossing of Antarctica. D、The problems that O'Brady faced during the journey.
