A
It's nt like anywhere else I've been t: readers' favurite cities.
Blgna, Italy
When I picture Blgna, it's always bathed in glden-hur light that makes its rust-red walls glw. But what lies beneath the surface bewitches （迷人） just as much. Explring the small and distinctive museums f the university reveals ancient curtyards. Diving int hidden drs and arches leads t secrets-r fd. Music and debate liven evenings in the main square. On my last trip I watched lcals in impassined discussin, taking turns n stls（凳子） in Piazza Maggire. Nt trusting my Italian, I declined an invitatin t cntribute, but gladly accepted the cherries shared amng the crwd.
Sibhan Maher
Melilla, Spain/Nrth Africa
Melilla, n Mrcc's nrthern cast, is a relic f Spain's clnial past with a character determined by its gegraphy. Facing the Mediterranean n ne side and the Rif muntains n the ther, and surrunded by a terrifying brder fence, it is definitively multicultural, with Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu cmmunities living side by side with a large frce f Spanish sldiers. The cityscape is equally diverse: streets f small Mrccan huses give way t wide avenues lined with "art dec" marvels; it's even hme t Africa's nly genuine Gthic church.
Digby Warde-Aldam
Padua, Italy
Padua is full f fascinating places t see. Saint Anthny's Basilica, with a magnificent silver sarcphagus （石棺） husing the saint's bdy, easily rivals （媲美） Saint Peter's in Rme. The nearby btanical gardens, filled with plants and flwers, are a delightful way t pass a few hurs. In the mrning, hit Piazza della Frutta and Piazza delle Erbe, fr buzzy markets selling everything frm strawberries t sneakers, r pp int the Palazz della Ragine with its impressive fresces （壁画）. At night, bth squares becme pen-air bars and restaurants fr sampling lcal cuisine. If yu have time fr a day trip, Verna and Venice are less than an hur away by train.

One Saturday in June, I gt ff the train frm Vienna at Altenberg statin, in the midst f a gathering f bathers, such as ften flck t ur village at fine weekends.
I had gne nly a few steps alng the street and the crwd had nt yet scattered when, high abve me in the air, I saw a bird whse species I culd nt at first determine. It flew with slw, measured wing-beats, varied at set intervals by lnger perids f gliding. It seemed t heavy t be a hawk; fr a strk（鹳）， it was nt big enugh and, even at that height, neck and feet shuld have been visible. Then the bird made a sudden turn s that the setting sun shne fr a secnd full n the underside f the great wings which lit up like stars in the blue f the skies. The bird was white. By Heaven, it was my cckat （凤头鹦鹉）！ The steady mvements f his wings clearly indicated that he was setting ut n a lng-distance flight.
"What shuld I d? Shuld I call t the bird?" Well, have yu ever heard the flight-call f the greater cckat? N? But yu have prbably heard pig-killing in the traditinal methd. Imagine the ludest lng cry a pig culd make, picked up by a micrphne and amplified many times ver by a pwerful speaker. A man can imitate it quite successfully, thugh smewhat weak, by shuting at the tp f his vice "O-ah". I had already prved that the cckat understd this imitatin and prmptly "came t heel". But wuld it wrk at such a height? A bird always has great difficulty in making the decisin t fly dwnwards at a steep angle. T yell, r nt t yell, that was the questin. If I yelled and the bird came dwn, all wuld be well, but what if it sailed calmly n thrugh the cluds? Hw wuld I then explain my sng t the crwd f peple?
Finally, I did yell. The peple arund me std still, rted t the spt. The bird hesitated fr a mment n utstretched wings, and then, flding them, it descended in ne dive and landed upn my utstretched arm. Once again I was master f the situatin.
24. What was the authr's cckat like?
A. It lked like a hawk. B. It was blue and shiny.
C. Its neck and feet were lng. D. It was white with great wings.
25. Hw did the authr signal t his cckat?
A. By waving at it quickly. B. By singing a sng ludly.
C. By screaming his head ff. D. By using a pwerful ludspeaker.
26. What des the underlined part "came t heel? in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Flew abut. B. Came back. C. Came arund. D. Landed n the grund.
27. Which can be inferred abut the authr frm the text?
A. He knew birds very well. B. He culd speak with his bird.
C. He liked shwing ff in public. D. He ften surprised peple arund him.

Fr the perfect cup f tea, des ne add milk t biling water, r the ppsite? Neither, based n a new research in the jurnal Current Bilgy. What must be prepared first, instead, are the micrbes （微生物）.
Previus studies have shwn that the presence f the right micrbes can enhance the absrptin f critical nutrients like irn, phsphrus （磷） and nitrgen （氮）.
Tea experts Wei Xin and Wenxin Tang at Fujian Agriculture and Frestry University in China were attracted by it because tea plants rely upn nitrgen-rich ammnium （铵） in the sil arund their rts t prduce theanine, an amin acid （氨基酸） that generates their special pleasant flavrs. Cllecting the rts and leaves f 17 different tea types at different times f year, Dr Xin and Dr Tang fund that theanine prductin varied widely, even amng similar teas. Sme highly valued lng teas, such as Rugui, prduced a lt f the cmpund, whereas thers, such as Maxie, prduced less.
After grwing these tw types under identical cnditins, the researchers cllected sil samples and used genetic analysis t identify which micrbes were present arund the rts. The micrbes f the tw were very different. Crucially, Rugui had mre micrbes assciated with nitrgen than did Maxie. Cnsequently, Rugui als shwed a greater ability t absrb nitrgen frm ammnium in the sil. These differences were particularly clear in the autumn, when the rts were accumulating theanine.
T explre further, the researchers created a cmmunity f micrbes that resembled the cmmunity fund arund autumnal Rugui rts and applied them t the rts f Maxie plants. They reprt that this nt nly enhanced rt grwth in Maxie seedlings by giving them a nitrgen bst, but als nearly tripled the theanine in the leaves.
Flavrs aside, what they fund has the ptential t make a wider envirnmental impact. Mst farmers add sme frm f nitrgen t their sil t enhance grwth. While sme f this is absrbed by plants, mst runs ff during heavy rains and ends up plluting natural water bdies. When the researchers applied their micrbial mixture t sil, they fund that, just as with Maxie, the newcmers enhanced nitrgen uptake. This suggests that these micrbes have the ptential t create new flavrs while als reducing agricultural pllutin. That shuld be everyne’s cup f tea.
28. Which is the key factr in enhancing tea's flavr?
A. Irn. B. Phsphrus. C. Theanine. D. Oxygen.
29. Why are Rugui and Maxie grwn in the research?
A. T set an example. B. T make a cmparisn.
C. T prve a cnclusin. D. T attract Chinese readers.
30. Based n the text, which f the fllwing is TRUE?
A. Nitrgen is cmmnly used in agriculture.
B. Tea has mre health benefits than expected.
C. When t add milk t a cup f tea is unknwn.
D. Maxie can taste like Rugui after imprvement.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Tea and its flavrB. Micrbes and tea
C. Tea's new benefitsD. Everyne's cup f tea

Rmantic attachment is ne f the best predictrs f happiness that scial scientists have identified. Fr example, my review f the General Scial Survey finds that althugh 27 percent f married Americans said they were "very happy" with their lives, nly 11 percent f thse respndents wh were never married, divrced, separated, r widwed answered this way. And research in the Jurnal f Research in Persnality has shwn that marriage can prtect happiness in adulthd.
These findings may help explain the well-dcumented decline in American happiness, especially amng yung adults. The percentage f adults wh are currently married has fallen frm almst 70 in 1960 t abut 50 tday. The slutin t the happiness deficit （赤字）—fr the natin as well as amng individuals -is simply t encurage mre peple t pair ff. Hwever, a clser lk at the singles trend suggests that the prblem is nt a lack f available partners, but that yung adults may unintentinally be aviding rmantic attachment.
Psychlgists cmmnly measure the health f attachment thrugh tw dimensins: anxiety and avidance [the latter meaning a resistance t intimacy （亲密）. T scre lwer n each dimensin is better. An insecure bnd can invlve smene being anxius but nt avidant, avidant but nt anxius, r bth, while secure attachment is n the ther hand. Unfrtunately, insecure attachment is becming mre and mre cmmn. Over the past tw decades, successive grups f studied cllege students have shwn an increasing likelihd f experiencing ne f the insecure styles. One particular insecure style-avidance-is assciated with a greater preference fr singlehd. That tells us that the underlying prblem is chiefly ne f greater avidance.
The ppularity f avidant attachment is a mre reasnable explanatin fr the increase in unhappiness amng yung adults than their simply being uncupled. After all, we als knw that singlehd can make sme peple happier, and that a bad rmantic partnership is clearly wrse than n relatinship at all. But in cntrast t that mixed picture, many studies shw that avidant attachment is assciated with lwer satisfactin with life.
S what is causing this mass rmantic avidance? Tw psychlgists prvided clues in a paper published in 2022 that was based n surveys f university students in Cyprus, including what led them t prefer being single. Strngly predictive f singledm, the researchers fund, was nt nly a preccupatin with wrk and career but als the wide spread f s-called Dark Triad （narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychpathy）. In ther wrds, peple may avid rmantic cmmitment if they are especially self-centered r wrk-fcused.
32. What des the authr think f the slutin t happiness decline?
A. It hits the target. B. It barks up the wrng tree.
C. It cuts t the chase. D. It gets t the bttm.
33. What is secure attachment like accrding t the psychlgists?
A. It is anxius but nt intimate. B. It is bth intimate and anxius.
C. It is neither anxius nr avidant. D. It is neither anxius nr intimate.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The benefits f rmantic partnership.
B. The ppularity f insecure attachment.
C. The explanatin fr avidant attachment.
D. The cause fr declining happiness amng yung adults.
35. In the last paragraph, tw psychlgists fund singledm was als prbably assciated with _____.
A. pressure f jb huntingB. level f educatin
C. different ccupatinsD. persnal characteristics

Waiting and praying were a daily rutine fr Barbara Schmitt, but tday the prayers were mre intense. Her three-year-ld granddaughter, Michelle, had been shwing danger signs that made an immediate liver transplant critical, but the telephne was as silent as the snwy scene utside.
Then at nine in the mrning, the phne rang. A hspital in Omaha had lcated the right liver dnr, they were sure it was a match fr Michelle, and they needed her there within 12 hurs.

It's nt like anywhere else I've been t: readers' favurite cities.
Blgna, Italy
When I picture Blgna, it's always bathed in glden-hur light that makes its rust-red walls glw. But what lies beneath the surface bewitches （迷人） just as much. Explring the small and distinctive museums f the university reveals ancient curtyards. Diving int hidden drs and arches leads t secrets-r fd. Music and debate liven evenings in the main square. On my last trip I watched lcals in impassined discussin, taking turns n stls（凳子） in Piazza Maggire. Nt trusting my Italian, I declined an invitatin t cntribute, but gladly accepted the cherries shared amng the crwd.
Sibhan Maher
Melilla, Spain/Nrth Africa
Melilla, n Mrcc's nrthern cast, is a relic f Spain's clnial past with a character determined by its gegraphy. Facing the Mediterranean n ne side and the Rif muntains n the ther, and surrunded by a terrifying brder fence, it is definitively multicultural, with Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu cmmunities living side by side with a large frce f Spanish sldiers. The cityscape is equally diverse: streets f small Mrccan huses give way t wide avenues lined with "art dec" marvels; it's even hme t Africa's nly genuine Gthic church.
Digby Warde-Aldam
Padua, Italy
Padua is full f fascinating places t see. Saint Anthny's Basilica, with a magnificent silver sarcphagus （石棺） husing the saint's bdy, easily rivals （媲美） Saint Peter's in Rme. The nearby btanical gardens, filled with plants and flwers, are a delightful way t pass a few hurs. In the mrning, hit Piazza della Frutta and Piazza delle Erbe, fr buzzy markets selling everything frm strawberries t sneakers, r pp int the Palazz della Ragine with its impressive fresces （壁画）. At night, bth squares becme pen-air bars and restaurants fr sampling lcal cuisine. If yu have time fr a day trip, Verna and Venice are less than an hur away by train.

One Saturday in June, I gt ff the train frm Vienna at Altenberg statin, in the midst f a gathering f bathers, such as ften flck t ur village at fine weekends.
I had gne nly a few steps alng the street and the crwd had nt yet scattered when, high abve me in the air, I saw a bird whse species I culd nt at first determine. It flew with slw, measured wing-beats, varied at set intervals by lnger perids f gliding. It seemed t heavy t be a hawk; fr a strk（鹳）， it was nt big enugh and, even at that height, neck and feet shuld have been visible. Then the bird made a sudden turn s that the setting sun shne fr a secnd full n the underside f the great wings which lit up like stars in the blue f the skies. The bird was white. By Heaven, it was my cckat （凤头鹦鹉）！ The steady mvements f his wings clearly indicated that he was setting ut n a lng-distance flight.
"What shuld I d? Shuld I call t the bird?" Well, have yu ever heard the flight-call f the greater cckat? N? But yu have prbably heard pig-killing in the traditinal methd. Imagine the ludest lng cry a pig culd make, picked up by a micrphne and amplified many times ver by a pwerful speaker. A man can imitate it quite successfully, thugh smewhat weak, by shuting at the tp f his vice "O-ah". I had already prved that the cckat understd this imitatin and prmptly "came t heel". But wuld it wrk at such a height? A bird always has great difficulty in making the decisin t fly dwnwards at a steep angle. T yell, r nt t yell, that was the questin. If I yelled and the bird came dwn, all wuld be well, but what if it sailed calmly n thrugh the cluds? Hw wuld I then explain my sng t the crwd f peple?
Finally, I did yell. The peple arund me std still, rted t the spt. The bird hesitated fr a mment n utstretched wings, and then, flding them, it descended in ne dive and landed upn my utstretched arm. Once again I was master f the situatin.
24. What was the authr's cckat like?
A. It lked like a hawk. B. It was blue and shiny.
C. Its neck and feet were lng. D. It was white with great wings.
25. Hw did the authr signal t his cckat?
A. By waving at it quickly. B. By singing a sng ludly.
C. By screaming his head ff. D. By using a pwerful ludspeaker.
26. What des the underlined part "came t heel? in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Flew abut. B. Came back. C. Came arund. D. Landed n the grund.
27. Which can be inferred abut the authr frm the text?
A. He knew birds very well. B. He culd speak with his bird.
C. He liked shwing ff in public. D. He ften surprised peple arund him.

Fr the perfect cup f tea, des ne add milk t biling water, r the ppsite? Neither, based n a new research in the jurnal Current Bilgy. What must be prepared first, instead, are the micrbes （微生物）.
Previus studies have shwn that the presence f the right micrbes can enhance the absrptin f critical nutrients like irn, phsphrus （磷） and nitrgen （氮）.
Tea experts Wei Xin and Wenxin Tang at Fujian Agriculture and Frestry University in China were attracted by it because tea plants rely upn nitrgen-rich ammnium （铵） in the sil arund their rts t prduce theanine, an amin acid （氨基酸） that generates their special pleasant flavrs. Cllecting the rts and leaves f 17 different tea types at different times f year, Dr Xin and Dr Tang fund that theanine prductin varied widely, even amng similar teas. Sme highly valued lng teas, such as Rugui, prduced a lt f the cmpund, whereas thers, such as Maxie, prduced less.
After grwing these tw types under identical cnditins, the researchers cllected sil samples and used genetic analysis t identify which micrbes were present arund the rts. The micrbes f the tw were very different. Crucially, Rugui had mre micrbes assciated with nitrgen than did Maxie. Cnsequently, Rugui als shwed a greater ability t absrb nitrgen frm ammnium in the sil. These differences were particularly clear in the autumn, when the rts were accumulating theanine.
T explre further, the researchers created a cmmunity f micrbes that resembled the cmmunity fund arund autumnal Rugui rts and applied them t the rts f Maxie plants. They reprt that this nt nly enhanced rt grwth in Maxie seedlings by giving them a nitrgen bst, but als nearly tripled the theanine in the leaves.
Flavrs aside, what they fund has the ptential t make a wider envirnmental impact. Mst farmers add sme frm f nitrgen t their sil t enhance grwth. While sme f this is absrbed by plants, mst runs ff during heavy rains and ends up plluting natural water bdies. When the researchers applied their micrbial mixture t sil, they fund that, just as with Maxie, the newcmers enhanced nitrgen uptake. This suggests that these micrbes have the ptential t create new flavrs while als reducing agricultural pllutin. That shuld be everyne’s cup f tea.
28. Which is the key factr in enhancing tea's flavr?
A. Irn. B. Phsphrus. C. Theanine. D. Oxygen.
29. Why are Rugui and Maxie grwn in the research?
A. T set an example. B. T make a cmparisn.
C. T prve a cnclusin. D. T attract Chinese readers.
30. Based n the text, which f the fllwing is TRUE?
A. Nitrgen is cmmnly used in agriculture.
B. Tea has mre health benefits than expected.
C. When t add milk t a cup f tea is unknwn.
D. Maxie can taste like Rugui after imprvement.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Tea and its flavrB. Micrbes and tea
C. Tea's new benefitsD. Everyne's cup f tea

Rmantic attachment is ne f the best predictrs f happiness that scial scientists have identified. Fr example, my review f the General Scial Survey finds that althugh 27 percent f married Americans said they were "very happy" with their lives, nly 11 percent f thse respndents wh were never married, divrced, separated, r widwed answered this way. And research in the Jurnal f Research in Persnality has shwn that marriage can prtect happiness in adulthd.
These findings may help explain the well-dcumented decline in American happiness, especially amng yung adults. The percentage f adults wh are currently married has fallen frm almst 70 in 1960 t abut 50 tday. The slutin t the happiness deficit （赤字）—fr the natin as well as amng individuals -is simply t encurage mre peple t pair ff. Hwever, a clser lk at the singles trend suggests that the prblem is nt a lack f available partners, but that yung adults may unintentinally be aviding rmantic attachment.
Psychlgists cmmnly measure the health f attachment thrugh tw dimensins: anxiety and avidance [the latter meaning a resistance t intimacy （亲密）. T scre lwer n each dimensin is better. An insecure bnd can invlve smene being anxius but nt avidant, avidant but nt anxius, r bth, while secure attachment is n the ther hand. Unfrtunately, insecure attachment is becming mre and mre cmmn. Over the past tw decades, successive grups f studied cllege students have shwn an increasing likelihd f experiencing ne f the insecure styles. One particular insecure style-avidance-is assciated with a greater preference fr singlehd. That tells us that the underlying prblem is chiefly ne f greater avidance.
The ppularity f avidant attachment is a mre reasnable explanatin fr the increase in unhappiness amng yung adults than their simply being uncupled. After all, we als knw that singlehd can make sme peple happier, and that a bad rmantic partnership is clearly wrse than n relatinship at all. But in cntrast t that mixed picture, many studies shw that avidant attachment is assciated with lwer satisfactin with life.
S what is causing this mass rmantic avidance? Tw psychlgists prvided clues in a paper published in 2022 that was based n surveys f university students in Cyprus, including what led them t prefer being single. Strngly predictive f singledm, the researchers fund, was nt nly a preccupatin with wrk and career but als the wide spread f s-called Dark Triad （narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychpathy）. In ther wrds, peple may avid rmantic cmmitment if they are especially self-centered r wrk-fcused.
32. What des the authr think f the slutin t happiness decline?
A. It hits the target. B. It barks up the wrng tree.
C. It cuts t the chase. D. It gets t the bttm.
33. What is secure attachment like accrding t the psychlgists?
A. It is anxius but nt intimate. B. It is bth intimate and anxius.
C. It is neither anxius nr avidant. D. It is neither anxius nr intimate.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The benefits f rmantic partnership.
B. The ppularity f insecure attachment.
C. The explanatin fr avidant attachment.
D. The cause fr declining happiness amng yung adults.
35. In the last paragraph, tw psychlgists fund singledm was als prbably assciated with _____.
A. pressure f jb huntingB. level f educatin
C. different ccupatinsD. persnal characteristics
