Suspension bridges, with their high towers and elegant spans (跨度), are achievements of engineering. This list covers the longest main spans of suspension bridges around the world, not longest total lengths, as those main central spans are where the real engineering magic happens.
Osman Gazi Bridge, Türkiye
The Osman Gazi Bridge is a splendid suspension bridge. The bridge was finished on July 1, 2016, and at the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in Türkiye and the fourth longest in the world by the length of its main central span, which measures 1,550 meters. It reduced travel time between Istanbul and Izmir from six hours to around five.
Great Belt Bridge, Denmark
The Great Belt Bridge connects the Danish islands Zealandand Funen. The suspension bridge has a total length of 6,790 meters and a main central span of 1,624meters, making it the world’s sixth longest main span — for now. It enabled a direct driving route from mainland Europe to Sweden through Denmark.
1915 anakkale Bridge, Türkiye
The bridge’s construction, which began in March 2017 and concluded in March 2022, was ambitious from the get-go. Spanning the historic Dardanelles Strait in northwestern Türkiye, the 1915 anakkale Bridge is a symbol of national pride. Officially the world’s longest suspension bridge, it stretches a remarkable 2,023 meters in its main central span.
Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge, China
Opened to traffic in October 2019, the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, is the longest suspension bridge in China and the third longest suspension in the world. It spans 1,700 meters across the famous Yangtze River. The bridge notably has the world’s longest double-level bridge span, accommodating various forms of transportation on its two levels.

Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was not living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important.
Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and many new skills to make her dreams a reality.
“One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”.
During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff-like clothing, decorations, and food -all of which she documents on TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says.
The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes.
Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve, ”she says.
4. Why did Anna Sacks leave New York
A. To learn how to grow food. B. To pursue a more meaningful life.
C. To realize her dream as a volunteer. D. To accept the invitation from a program.
5. What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program
A. The significance of trash walking. B. The hard truth of consumer culture.
C. The sustainable food people produced. D. The way people there dealt with the waste.
6. What makes companies prefer to throw out goods as trash
A. The tax refund. B. The tax reduction.
C. The overproduction. D. The poor quality of goods.
7. What can we learn from Anna Sacks’ story
A. Consumer culture accounts for wasting. B. Corporate trash outweighs residential trash.
C. Turning to farming leads to sustainable living. D. Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Anna Sacks的个人生活故事。她曾在纽约一家银行工作,虽然生活幸福但感觉缺乏重要性。她参加了农业项目Adamah,学习可持续生活和种植可持续食物,这改变了她的生活目标和技能,同时她开始关注消费文化带来的损害,并通过拣选垃圾来展示这个问题。她希望引起人们对于过度购买和浪费的关注,从而引发改变。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was not living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important.( 2010年代中期在纽约一家银行工作的Anna Sacks并没有过上她想要的生活。当然,她很高兴。但她想做点有意义的事)”以及第二段“Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food.(一些寻求人生意义的人可能会读一本自助书籍,或者每周做几个小时的志愿者。Sacks结束了她的生活,搬到了康涅狄格州,参加了一个专注于可持续生活和种植可持续食物的农业项目Adamah)”可知,Anna Sacks离开纽约是因为她想过有意义的生活。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says.( 她说:“Adamah让我印象深刻的是,他们产生的废物很少,而且他们是如何处理废物的,主要是通过堆肥。”)”可知,那里的人们处理废物的方式给Anna Sacks留下了最深的印象。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says.(事实是,公司经常选择丢弃物品而不是把它们送给可能需要它们的人。Sacks说,造成这种浪费的一个重要原因是我们现行税法的结构方式)”以及“Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded.(损坏货物的卖家可以将损失作为税收损失,并获得退款)”可知,退税让公司更愿意把商品当垃圾扔掉。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve, ”she says.( Sacks的主要重点是让人们注意到他们买了多少不必要的东西,然后扔掉了。她说:“一旦你意识到自己的消费方式,你就能看到自己改善的方法。”)”以及通读全文可知,Anna Sacks的故事告诉我们,消费文化导致了过度生产、过度消费和大量的浪费。A选项“消费文化造成了浪费”符合题意。故选A。

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
8. What do solar developers often ignore
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
9. What does InSPIRE aim to do
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
10. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场,这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫,从而促进农业的发展。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常,他们最终会用小石头填满该地区,并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是,许多社区,特别是在农业地区,将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知,太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题,导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者,由此可以推断,开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法,其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知,InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场,也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知,这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关,所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里,许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所,从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知,现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展,更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保,这将是未来发展农业的新趋势,再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断,本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。

D
In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
12. By “a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is _________.
A. an essential part of society with irreplaceable functions
B. expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C. an unimportant component of society, though functioning smoothly
D. responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
13. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that _________.
A. they are filled with an overwhelming fear of being unemployed
B. they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest
C. they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they lack a sense of independence and productivity
14. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “submissiveness”
A. caution B. obedience C. commitment D. optimism
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce the production mode of our ancestors.
B. To show the problematic situation in society.
C. To argue for full development of human potentials.
D. To help people escape production and consumption.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了现代社会中工人、雇员以及社会阶层较高者的焦虑和不满情绪,呼吁转变社会制度,充分开发人类潜能,使生产和消费成为实现人的全面发展的手段。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it.(总的来说,社会正在变成一个由官僚管理层管理的巨型企业,在这个企业中,人变成了机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮。给齿轮“加油”是通过更高的工资、设备精良的工厂和管弦乐,以及心理学家和“人际关系”专家完成的)”和“In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.(事实上,蓝领工人和白领工人已经成为经济的傀儡,随着自动化机器和官僚管理的曲调起舞)”可推知,作者认为人只是机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮,是经济的傀儡,受到自动化机器和官僚管理的支配,虽然运行平稳,但并不重要。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.(事实上,他们感到绝望是因为他们从来没有作为情感和智力上独立的和有生产力的人去面对人类生存的基本现实)”可知,工人和雇员焦虑的真正原因是他们缺乏独立意识和生产力。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence.(当他们申请第一份工作时,他们接受智力测试,以及是否能把submissiveness和独立正确地结合起来的测试)”中“tested for”可知,句中谈论的是对应聘者的相关测试。结合划线词前“the right mixture...”和其后“independence”可推知,submissiveness与independence(独立)是应聘者需要兼有的两种 特质,应聘者在两者之间需要找到平衡点。结合选项可推知,submissiveness与obedience同义,意为“服从”,与independence(独立)意思相对。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.(我建议将社会制度从以最大限度生产和消费为目的的官僚管理的工业主义转变为以人及其潜能——所有爱和理性的潜能——的充分发展为社会安排目标的人道主义工业主义。生产和消费应该作为达到这一目的的手段,而不应该支配人)”可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是主张充分开发人类潜能。故选C项。

Sense and Sensibility (1811) by Jane Austen follows the challenges faced by the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate love and societal expectations after their father’s death. Elinor, practical and reserved, hides her emotions, while Marianne, passionate and sensibility-driven, openly expresses her feelings. Set in the Georgian era, the novel explores themes of love, class and women’s roles, offering insightful social commentary. Austen’s work provides timeless reflections on the complexities of early 19th-century life.
II. Reading
In this excerpt, Marianne finally encounters Willoughby, a man for whom she holds deep affection, at a party. However, his indifferent attitude toward her deeply saddens her. Her elder sister, Elinor, is disgusted (使厌恶) by Willoughby’s conduct.
“Good heavens!” Marianne cried. “He is there! Oh, why does he not look at me Why cannot I speak to him ”
“I beg you, be calm,” said Elinor. “Try to hide your feelings.”
But this was impossible for Marianne. She sat there, her anxiety and impatience written clearly on her face.
At last Willoughby turned round and looked at them both. Marianne jumped up and held out her hand affectionately (深情地) to him. He came closer, and spoke to Elinor rather than her sister, asking in a hurried manner after Mrs Dashwood.
Marianne blushed (脸红) deeply and cried, “What is the meaning of this, Willoughby Will you not shake hands with me ”
He could not avoid it then, but he held her hand only for a moment. “I did myself the honour of calling on you last week, when you were unfortunately not at home.”
“But have you not received my letters ” cried Marianne in the wildest anxiety. “There must be some terrible mistake. Tell me, Willoughby, I beg you, what is the matter ”
He looked ashamed, but, on catching the eye of the young lady with whom he had been talking, his expression seemed to harden. “Yes,” he said, “I had the pleasure of receiving information of your arrival in town, which you were so good as to send me,” and turned away to join his friend.
Marianne, looking horribly white, was unable to stand, and Elinor helped her to a chair. Soon Willoughby was seen to leave the party, and as Marianne was clearly unwell, Elinor asked Lady Middleton to take them home. Nothing was said between the sisters, as Marianne was suffering too much to speak. Elinor now realized that for Willoughby the attachment (喜欢) was over, and she felt extreme distaste for his manner of ending it.
Neither sister slept much that night, and it was still dark when Elinor was woken by the sound of agitated (激动的) sobbing. She saw Marianne, only half dressed, writing as fast as a constant flow of tears would permit her.
“Marianne, may I ask — ” said Elinor gently.
“No, Elinor, ask nothing, you will soon know all.”
This was said with a sort of desperate calmness, which lasted only as long as she spoke. It seemed probable that she was writing for the last time to Willoughby.
The letter was given to a servant, to be delivered by hand, and the sisters went down to breakfast. Soon afterwards, a letter arrived for Marianne, who went deathly pale, and instantly ran out of the room. Mrs Jennings laughed comfortably.
“Is that a love letter from Willoughby Well, well, I never saw a young woman so passionately in love in my life. I hope he won’t keep her waiting much longer!”
Eager to know what Willoughby had written, Elinor hurried to their room. Marianne was lying on her bed, sobbing violently. Elinor took her sister’s hand, kissed her affectionately several times, and burst into tears herself. Marianne, although unable to speak, seemed to feel her sister’s loving sympathy, and silently gave her Willoughby’s letter to read.
16. Why did Willoughby turn away from Marianne and speak to Elinor instead
A. He felt a stronger connection with Elinor.
B. He was embarrassed about the situation.
C. He was trying to test Marianne’s feelings for him.
D. He considered Marianne rude and impolite.
17. What did Elinor think of Willoughby’s behavior
A. She disapproved of his manner. B. She found his actions justified.
C. She didn’t care about his actions. D. She was puzzled by his sudden change.
18. How did Marianne react to Willoughby’s letter
A. She turned to her sister for advice. B. She decided to ignore it and move on.
C. She wrote a letter to him immediately. D. She cried and felt shocked.
19. Which of the following best describes the personality of Marianne
A. Sensitive and impatient. B. Passionate and emotional.
C. Straightforward and easy-going. D. Practical and thoughtful.
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. B
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲的是生活中“做减法”的意义以及在生活各方面如何“做减法”的建议。
【20题详解】
根据空前“In a world obsessed with “more,” it’s easy to overlook the power of subtraction(减法). We’re constantly bombed with messages telling us that we need more stuff, more money, and more followers.”(在一个痴迷于“更多”的世界里,很容易忽视减法的力量。我们持续不断地被各种信息轰炸,告诉我们要有更多的东西,更多的钱,更多的粉丝。)”可知本句强调了当今生活中主流的要做“加法”的思想,根据空后“Let’s explore the power of subtraction, and how less can truly mean more.(让我们来探索减法的力量,以及如何更少才能真正意味着更多。)”则强调了减法的力量,空处承上启下,所以空处应该缺少一个表示转折,并且是强调“减法”力量的句子,B项But what if less is the secret to happiness (但是,如果幸福的秘诀是少呢?)承接上文,引出下文,而且选项中的But表明空前后语意上是一种转折关系,符合上下文语境。故选B项。
【21题详解】
根据空前“We all have too much stuff. It’s time to clear up. Donate or sell what you don’t need or love. You’ll be amazed at how liberating it feels to live with less.(我们都有太多的东西。该打扫了。捐赠或出售你不需要或不喜欢的东西。你会惊奇地发现少花钱是多么的自由。)”可知此处讲的是应该捐出或出售自己不需要或不喜欢的东西,根据空后“The fewer possessions you have, the more you’ll appreciate what truly matters.(拥有越少的东西,你越会欣赏那些真正重要的东西。)”可知本句强调了东西的质量胜过于东西的数量,空处承上启下,所以空处应该讲的是我们更应该注重东西的质量而不是数量,F项Embrace minimalism and focus on quality over quantity.(拥抱极简主义,注重质量而不是数量。)指出要注重质量而不是数量,承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【22题详解】
根据空前“In today’s fast-paced world, our attention is a valuable commodity.(在当今快节奏的世界里,我们的注意力是一种宝贵的商品。)”可知此处讲的是在当今快节奏的世界里,我们的注意力是非常宝贵的,根据后文“excessive social media scrolling, watching TV shows non stop or focusing too much attention on insignificant tasks is time-consuming(过度刷社交媒体,不停地看电视节目,或者把太多的注意力集中在无关紧要的任务上,这些都很耗时。)”可知本句话所提到的都是一些占据时间的不重要的活动,空处承上启下,所以空处应该讲的是人们要学会辨别这些不重要的活动,避免浪费时间,D项 Identify meaningless activities that occupy your time.(找出那些占用你时间的无意义活动。)指出要找出占用时间的无意义的活动,承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。故选D项。
【23题详解】
空处位于句首,应是对全段的概括,根据后文“Subtract the poisonous individuals and invest more time and energy into the friendships that genuinely enrich your life.(从你的生活中去掉那些有害的人,把时间投资在真正让你的生活变得丰富的友谊中。)”可知此处强调的是我们应该把时间投资在真正让自己的生活变得丰富的友谊中,所以空处应该讲这样做的原因是什么,选项E We must admit not all relationships are worth keeping. (我们必须承认并不是所有的关系都值得保持。)指出因为并不是所有的关系都值得保持,所以要学会辨别真正让自己生活变得丰富的友谊,对全段进行概括,符合上下文语境。故选E项。
【24题详解】
空处位于段末,应对前文进行总结,根据空前“Practice mindfulness techniques, such as yoga, to help clear your mind(练习专注的技巧,比如瑜伽,来帮助你理清思路。)”可知这是一个练习专注的建议,所以空处应该是这个建议所带来的结果,G选项Thus, you’ll make room for more optimism and creativity.(因此,你会为更多的乐观和创造力腾出空间。)指出练习专注的技巧的结果,对前文进行了总结,而且G项开头的Thus刚好可以引出结果,符合逻辑,与此同时G选项中的Optimism也与前文中的negative thought相对应,符合上下文语境。故选G项。

Suspension bridges, with their high towers and elegant spans (跨度), are achievements of engineering. This list covers the longest main spans of suspension bridges around the world, not longest total lengths, as those main central spans are where the real engineering magic happens.
Osman Gazi Bridge Türkiye
The Osman Gazi Bridge is a splendid suspension bridge. The bridge was finished on July 1, 2016, and at the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in Türkiye and the fourth longest in the world by the length of its main central span, which measures 1,550 meters. It reduced travel time between Istanbul and Izmir from six hours to around five.
Great Belt Bridge, Denmark
The Great Belt Bridge connects the Danish islands Zealandand Funen. The suspension bridge has a total length of 6,790 meters and a main central span of 1,624meters, making it the world’s sixth longest main span — for now. It enabled a direct driving route from mainland Europe to Sweden through Denmark.
1915 anakkale Bridge, Türkiye
The bridge’s construction, which began in March 2017 and concluded in March 2022, was ambitious from the get-go. Spanning the historic Dardanelles Strait in northwestern Türkiye, the 1915 anakkale Bridge is a symbol of national pride. Officially the world’s longest suspension bridge, it stretches a remarkable 2,023 meters in its main central span.
Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge, China
Opened to traffic in October 2019, the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, is the longest suspension bridge in China and the third longest suspension in the world. It spans 1,700 meters across the famous Yangtze River. The bridge notably has the world’s longest double-level bridge span, accommodating various forms of transportation on its two levels.

Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was not living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important.
Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and many new skills to make her dreams a reality.
“One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”.
During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff-like clothing, decorations, and food -all of which she documents on TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says.
The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes.
Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve, ”she says.
4. Why did Anna Sacks leave New York
A. To learn how to grow food. B. To pursue a more meaningful life.
C. To realize her dream as a volunteer. D. To accept the invitation from a program.
5. What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program
A. The significance of trash walking. B. The hard truth of consumer culture.
C. The sustainable food people produced. D. The way people there dealt with the waste.
6. What makes companies prefer to throw out goods as trash
A. The tax refund. B. The tax reduction.
C. The overproduction. D. The poor quality of goods.
7. What can we learn from Anna Sacks’ story
A. Consumer culture accounts for wasting. B. Corporate trash outweighs residential trash.
C. Turning to farming leads to sustainable living. D. Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy.

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
8. What do solar developers often ignore
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
9. What does InSPIRE aim to do
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
10. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development
D
In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
12. By “a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is _________.
A. an essential part of society with irreplaceable functions
B. expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C. an unimportant component of society, though functioning smoothly
D. responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
13. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that _________.
A. they are filled with an overwhelming fear of being unemployed
B. they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest
C. they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they lack a sense of independence and productivity
14. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “submissiveness”
A. caution B. obedience C. commitment D. optimism
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce the production mode of our ancestors.
B. To show the problematic situation in society.
C. To argue for full development of human potentials.
D. To help people escape production and consumption.

Sense and Sensibility (1811) by Jane Austen follows the challenges faced by the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate love and societal expectations after their father’s death. Elinor, practical and reserved, hides her emotions, while Marianne, passionate and sensibility-driven, openly expresses her feelings. Set in the Georgian era, the novel explores themes of love, class and women’s roles, offering insightful social commentary. Austen’s work provides timeless reflections on the complexities of early 19th-century life.
II. Reading
In this excerpt, Marianne finally encounters Willoughby, a man for whom she holds deep affection, at a party. However, his indifferent attitude toward her deeply saddens her. Her elder sister, Elinor, is disgusted (使厌恶) by Willoughby’s conduct.
“Good heavens!” Marianne cried. “He is there! Oh, why does he not look at me Why cannot I speak to him ”
“I beg you be calm,” said Elinor. “Try to hide your feelings.”
But this was impossible for Marianne. She sat there, her anxiety and impatience written clearly on her face.
At last Willoughby turned round and looked at them both. Marianne jumped up and held out her hand affectionately (深情地) to him. He came closer, and spoke to Elinor rather than her sister, asking in a hurried manner after Mrs Dashwood.
Marianne blushed (脸红) deeply and cried, “What is the meaning of this, Willoughby Will you not shake hands with me ”
He could not avoid it then, but he held her hand only for a moment. “I did myself the honour of calling on you last week, when you were unfortunately not at home.”
“But have you not received my letters ” cried Marianne in the wildest anxiety. “There must be some terrible mistake. Tell me, Willoughby, I beg you, what is the matter ”
He looked ashamed, but, on catching the eye of the young lady with whom he had been talking, his expression seemed to harden. “Yes,” he said, “I had the pleasure of receiving information of your arrival in town, which you were so good as to send me,” and turned away to join his friend.
Marianne, looking horribly white, was unable to stand, and Elinor helped her to a chair. Soon Willoughby was seen to leave the party, and as Marianne was clearly unwell, Elinor asked Lady Middleton to take them home. Nothing was said between the sisters, as Marianne was suffering too much to speak. Elinor now realized that for Willoughby the attachment (喜欢) was over, and she felt extreme distaste for his manner of ending it.
Neither sister slept much that night, and it was still dark when Elinor was woken by the sound of agitated (激动的) sobbing. She saw Marianne, only half dressed, writing as fast as a constant flow of tears would permit her.
“Marianne, may I ask — ” said Elinor gently.
“No, Elinor, ask nothing, you will soon know all.”
This was said with a sort of desperate calmness, which lasted only as long as she spoke. It seemed probable that she was writing for the last time to Willoughby.
The letter was given to a servant, to be delivered by hand, and the sisters went down to breakfast. Soon afterwards, a letter arrived for Marianne, who went deathly pale, and instantly ran out of the room. Mrs Jennings laughed comfortably.
“Is that a love letter from Willoughby Well, well, I never saw a young woman so passionately in love in my life. I hope he won’t keep her waiting much longer!”
Eager to know what Willoughby had written, Elinor hurried to their room. Marianne was lying on her bed, sobbing violently. Elinor took her sister’s hand, kissed her affectionately several times, and burst into tears herself. Marianne, although unable to speak, seemed to feel her sister’s loving sympathy, and silently gave her Willoughby’s letter to read.
16. Why did Willoughby turn away from Marianne and speak to Elinor instead
A. He felt a stronger connection with Elinor.
B. He was embarrassed about the situation.
C. He was trying to test Marianne’s feelings for him.
D. He considered Marianne rude and impolite.
17. What did Elinor think of Willoughby’s behavior
A. She disapproved of his manner. B. She found his actions justified.
C. She didn’t care about his actions. D. She was puzzled by his sudden change.
18. How did Marianne react to Willoughby’s letter
A. She turned to her sister for advice. B. She decided to ignore it and move on.
C. She wrote a letter to him immediately. D. She cried and felt shocked.
19. Which of the following best describes the personality of Marianne
A. Sensitive and impatient. B. Passionate and emotional.
C. Straightforward and easy-going. D. Practical and thoughtful.
