阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Parcel lockers, also called smart lockers or package lockers, are secure, automated storage units in centralized locations. They are revolutionizing how goods can be delivered and received. People can pick up a package from a locker at a time that suits them, in a convenient location near their residence or workplace.
Yet for all their advantages, parcel lockers are still far from being widely adopted by online shoppers. Many consumers still opt to have their online shopping parcels delivered directly to their homes instead of using parcel lockers, simply because they don’t know this delivery option when placing online orders and thus have never tried it.
Even though locker usage is still low, companies and government agencies hope more shoppers will try it as they learn about the benefits. Using parcel lockers can help reduce traffic from delivery vehicles and lower our carbon footprint, which is better for the Earth. So, why not
21. What keeps some shoppers from trying a parcel locker?
A. Inconvenient locations.
B. Environmental concerns.
C. Inefficiency of delivery.
D. Unawareness of its presence.
22. What must users of easyLockers do?
A. Collect their parcels within 24 hours.
B. Key in a unique access code to get parcels.
C. Leave the locker door open for the next user.
D. Inform the deliveryman of their home address.
23. Who are the targeted readers of the text?
A. Locker producers.
B. Delivery personnel.
C. Online purchasers.
D. Potential investors.

For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, and that was that.
Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons? No, thanks. Interactive theatre? Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.
So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults?
I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the urge to dismiss it, despite my longstanding dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book on audio book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, contemporary performance — all things I had previously ignored.
Trying things you thought you wouldn’t enjoy, I found, became oddly addictive. I didn’t love everything straight away, but I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended.
Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week? Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.
24. How did the author’s fixed idea affect her?
A. It simplified her daily routine.
B. It left her more time for work.
C. It flattened her life into dullness.
D. It spared her unwanted socializing.
25. Why did the author accept her friend’s invitation to a book club?
A. To make a conscious shift in her life.
B. To revisit a former interest in reading.
C. To meet her friend’s repeated requests.
D. To occupy a blank in her personal calendar.
26. How did the author feel when losing the chess game?
A. Totally relieved.B. Slightly puzzled.
C. Rather embarrassed.D. Somewhat delighted.
27. What message does the author try to convey?
A. Learn to say no.B. Break out of your shell.
C. Look before you leap.D. Let go of the past.
C
Chaotan One, the world’s first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂), has begun operations in China. This achievement breaks a century-old tradition of using steam for power generation, marking a major improvement in efficiency.
The invention of the steam engine was a first step towards the Industrial Revolution that changed the world. Over the years, the engine’s efficiency was further improved through different designs and fuels; however, the medium for doing work remained the same — steam.
Scientists seeking further improvements in power efficiency noticed that a significant portion of energy is wasted generating steam to drive turbines (涡轮机). Water needs to be boiled first and needs to undergo a phase change to generate steam. Scientists have been looking for a better medium to replace steam.
They found this in sCO₂. CO₂ exists as a gas at room temperature and can be cooled to form dry ice by reducing pressure and lowering temperature. When temperature is raised to 31°C, and pressure is increased to 7.37 MPa, CO₂ enters its supercritical state, where it exhibits properties of both a liquid and a gas. In applications such as moving a turbine, this is extremely useful since the gas-like state offers less resistance while the liquid-like state provides greater push power.
The power generation process works like this: The CO₂ is first pressurized into a supercritical state. Then the sCO₂ passes through a heat exchanger, absorbing heat from an external heat source, and its temperature rises to 400 — 600℃ with a substantial increase in internal energy. After that, it enters a turbine and expands rapidly, driving it to move at a high speed and transforming thermal (热的) energy into mechanical energy, which is then further turned into electrical energy for output. The CO₂ remains in a supercritical state throughout the entire process, with no phase change loss.
The success of the Chaotan One will likely start a new era in power generation, using CO₂ as a medium and bypassing the need to transform water into steam.
28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Highlight the value of steam.
B. Applaud the past contributions.
C. Outline the Industrial Revolution.
D. State the background of a new discovery.
29. What is the biggest problem with steam power generation?
A. Energy-intensive.B. Labor-demanding.
C. Noise-producing.D. Money-consuming.
30. What plays a key role in the high efficiency of Chaotan One?
A. The durability of turbines.
B. The quick commercialization of generators.
C. The easy availability of CO₂.
D. The continuity of CO₂’s supercritical state.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Unpredictable Changes of CO₂
B. Polarized Views on Chaotan One
C. A Pioneering sCO₂ Power Generator
D. A Breakthrough in Steam Engine
D
We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid (小行星) belt, where huge rocks fall and spin so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another.
Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable. And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments (碎片) out into space.
In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group.
Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family. Care must be taken, though. Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra, the time-consuming process of breaking an object’s incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition.
It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids.
32. What is the author’s view on the scene in the sci-fi movie?
A. It goes against the established facts.
B. It overstates the super heroes’ role.
C. It downplays the special visual effects.
D. It fuels people’s interest in the asteroid.
33. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ineluctable” in paragraph 2?
A. Unavoidable.B. Uncommon.C. Incredible.D. Invisible.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The definition of orbital elements.
B. The formation of asteroid families.
C. The naming rule of asteroid groups.
D. The moving pattern of asteroid fragments.
35. What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family?
A. It is a high-risk practice.
B. It is built on assumptions.
C. Its value can’t be overstated.
D. Its coverage needs to be expanded.

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。
What’s the first thing you notice when you step into a museum? Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see?36Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient recipe. Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste. 37
“Representations of the past are often scentless (无气味的), but smell probably played a huge role in many historical realities,” says Barbara Huber, an archaeologist in Germany. 38She and her workmates tracked down some molecular (分子的) remains that can let us smell the past. Through trial and error, they created Scent of the Afterlife, a mix of scent that would have accompanied mummification processes in ancient Egypt.
“ 39One of the reasons is that it is incredibly hard to study. The scents and smells in the past were already gone before archaeologists could come and investigate the sites,” says Huber. Luckily, new chemical and biomolecular methods in archaeology have kind of reopened the door to continue to study these things.
“These molecules that we detect can tell us a lot about ancient materials. At the same time, when we reconstruct them like we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today. 40” says Huber. “If you enter a room and can somehow smell how it must have smelled in a mummification room in ancient Egypt, you’re experiencing the history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.”
A. It can also enrich our understanding of smells.
B. However, more often than not, smell is missing.
C. Smell has long been ignored in studying the past.
D. Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch.
E. And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object.
F. This “aha moment” changed her attitude towards the research.
G. The obvious absence of scent in the study of history inspired her.

Fake (假装) it till you make it and that’s 57I did. A year later, I had no problem easing into conversations with customers. I smiled, asked about their day and made 58(comment) on the great sale. Then I convinced them to buy our pickled garlic.

Self-esteem is knowing yourself and not being afraid to let it shine. My big smile and loud laugh, which 62(be) once a source of embarrassment, has become my trademark. Customers like my sincerity — I’m no 63(robot) salesperson. Self-esteem is also not being completely shut down by a mistake. The other day, a customer told me I was annoying. Prior to working here, I would have broken down, 64with new confidence, I smiled and apologized, knowing she was the exception, not the rule.
The pickle-shop self-esteem keeps motivating me 65(excel) in college — two major club involvements and a perfect 4.0 GPA.

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。
It came as a shock when the new president of the company where I had worked for 29 years called me to his office one Tuesday morning along with the human resources director (HRD). He looked at me and announced, “We’re planning a retirement luncheon for you this Friday…”
As the chief editor of the company’s travel magazine I had founded some 20 years earlier, I had received nothing but glowing reports on every review. But the truth is, I was 78 years old and highly paid. I suspect the company felt that it was time to bring in a younger person at a lower salary in this period of economic stress.
“Are there no other jobs in the company where I might fit in?” I asked.
“None at your salary,” the HRD assured me.
“I heard you were looking for a writer in travel promotions,” I continued.
“You wouldn’t be interested in that. The pay is one third of your current salary.”
“I’ll think about it,” I said. “I don’t really care about the money. I just enjoy working.”
The new president looked visibly shocked. He exchanged questioning glances with the HRD, then folded up his notebook and stood up.
“Cancel the Friday luncheon,” he said.
Walking out of the office, I seriously considered applying for the travel promotions job, but did I really want to take a low-paid job after so many years at the top, just for the joy of working? If not here, maybe somewhere else. But who would hire a 78-year-old editor?
Overcome with the anxiety, I suddenly thought of the sentence my mother quoted to me: “Man has infinite(无限的)capabilities, limitless opportunities and ceaseless occupation.” Age played no part in that quotation. I only needed to know that I had infinite intelligence and limitless ideas and the right opportunity would present itself to me.
I wouldn’t wait for that opportunity to come to me.

Good morning! I feel honored to deliver a speech today. Does listening to music disturb our study? Absolutely not! Actually, it can serve as a fantastic study companion.
When I’m wrestling with tough problems, soft background music tends to ease my tension, blocking out random distractions. Whenever I get lost in their catchy tunes and vibrant lyrics, it’s like opening a door to a linguistic and cultural wonderland. This not only improves my language skills but also gives me a deeper understanding of Western culture.
Personally, music doesn’t merely make studying less of a chore; it transforms studying into a more enjoyable and fruitful experience. Let’s embrace music and make learning a truly delightful journey.
Thank you for listening!
读后续写
I started looking for writing opportunities online. Looking through countless job ads, I hunted for any role related to travel writing. Next, I wrote up a polished resume, highlighting my 20 years as chief editor and glowing reviews that spoke to my expertise. Rather than hiding my age, I embraced it wholeheartedly, claiming it gifted me with unique insights. Filling out applications to various travel-related magazines, I felt a mix of expectation and nervousness — hoping to stand out yet fearing age would be a barrier. Still, I sent off dozens, refusing to let 78 hold me back, all because my mom’s words kept pushing me forward.
Luckily, Marco Polo, a travel magazine, arranged an interview for me. During the interview, I passionately shared my editorial vision and lifelong dedication to travel writing, which struck a deep chord with the interviewer. “Your insight and depth are exactly what we have been looking for,” the editor noted, clearly valuing perspective over age. Deeply impressed, he offered me the position of travel columnist on the spot. Overjoyed, I accepted, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. Now, at 78, with my enthusiasm reignited, I continued to devote myself to the craft of writing, which echoed my mother’s wisdom: true occupation knows no age.
