In the 1930s, as modernization swept across China, countless ancient buildings — carriers of centuries-old culture — faced being forgotten. Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin became pioneers of architectural preservation, their work not just documenting structures but rescuing a nation’s cultural memory.
Back then, their mission was a battle against time and unpleasant situations. The architectural treasures they sought lay hidden in remote rural areas, accessible only by muddy tracks on foot. Liang, disabled in an accident, suffered great pain with each step. Lin, struggling with a serious lung disease, depended on willpower to stand the tough conditions. Inns were often dirty, and food was scarce and unsafe. Worse still, the political unrest brought risks of attacks by ill-intentioned locals and military conflicts. Yet none of these discouraged them — for they believed ancient architecture was “the living language of China’s history.”
Their remarkable achievement came in 1937 with the discovery of Foguang Si. Built in 857 A. D. , this wooden temple was the oldest surviving wooden structure in China, a discovery that rewrote the country’s architectural history. To confirm its age, they crawled into the temple’s upper eaves — a dark space filled with bats and bedbugs. Wearing thick masks, they measured every beam and bracket, their hands trembling not from fear but excitement, as they found details matching the 12th-century architectural book Yingzao Fashi. This proved China boasts a profound architectural heritage.
After 1949, their passion turned to combining tradition with modernity. They co-founded Tsinghua University’s Architecture Department, training generations of architects who learned to respect the past while building the future. Their lifelong effort teaches the world that preservation is not about keeping the past unchanged, but about making it light up the present.
4. What made Liang and Lin’s journey in the 1930s difficult
A. The lack of detailed maps of rural areas.
B. Their physical sufferings and difficult circumstances.
C. The opposition from local residents to their research.
D. The shortage of professional equipment for measurement.
5. Why was the discovery of Foguang Si significant
A. It proved the temple was the world’s oldest architecture.
B. It checked the accuracy of all the records in Yingzao Fashi.
C. It refreshed the understanding of China’s architectural history.
D. It inspired other scholars to study Chinese architecture.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Their efforts centered on restoring damaged buildings.
B. Their energy was channeled into building a new campus.
C. They integrated ancient wisdom into modern architecture.
D. Their designs preferred traditional elements to modern ones.
7. Which of the following best describes Liang and Lin
A. Persistent and devoted. B. Modest and cautious.
C. Idealistic and diligent. D. Passionate and sociable.
C
Nowadays, one can hardly enter a UK bar, café and restaurant these days without a “suggested” tip or service charge of up to 15 percent appearing on the bill. It feels mean for customers to refuse but we are often confused, even resentful: what is this for, and who gets the money
Recently, Gaucho steakhouse chain clarified its policy: waiters keep only 17% of service charges from their tables, with the remaining 83% shared among chefs, receptionists and other staff. These sums were set by Peter Davies, an accountant acting as Gaucho’s “troncmaster” (小费分配管理员). He decided that the share for waiters should be cut sharply due to his belief that service charges should be paid by customers in respect of their whole experience.
The policy surprised diners and upset Unite, the union representing some of the staff, as most customers consider it unfair for waiters to get so little. Gaucho insists its employee costs stay unchanged and the business gains no benefits itself. However, this is part of a wider trend: service charges are increasingly redistributed from front-of-house staff to backstage employees. Unlike American style direct tipping, UK’s system integrates service charges into overall labour costs. This shift stems partly from the UK’s Tipping Act, which requires workers to receive all service fees. Enforced a year ago, it led many companies to hire troncmaster firms. Additionally, the rising employer national insurance and minimum wages have pushed up labour costs. Gaucho’s parent group Rare Restaurants made an 11.5 million loss last year and others are closing branches and cutting jobs under the financial stress.
But companies are not alone responsible for what has happened. By increasing the cost of employing everyone from waiters to chefs, the government added to the pressure to use charges to fill the gap. So do not be confused when handed a bill with a 15 percent service charge at a restaurant. Ultimately, these charges are no longer traditional tips but a new employment cost, with only a small portion going to servers.
8. What does the underlined word “resentful” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Annoyed. B. Worried. C. Amazed. D. Frightened.
9. Why did Peter Davies decide to cut the share of service charges for waiters
A. To reduce the restaurant’s employee costs. B. To cover the business’s huge financial loss.
C. To meet the requirement of Unite in the UK. D. To ensure fair distribution among all staff.
10. What can be inferred about the UK’s Tipping Act from the text
A. It was introduced to help restaurants cut costs.
B. It gave rise to the widespread use of troncmaster firms.
C. It allowed employers to allocate service fees randomly.
D. It required waiters to receive the service charges.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Disappearance of Tips in Western Countries.
B. The Influence of the UK’s Tipping Act on Economy.
C. The UK Service Charges: From Tips to Employment Costs.
D. The Conflict Between Restaurants and Unite Over Tips.
D
Every time generative artificial intelligence drafts an e-mail or makes an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone; a single exchange with Chat GPT can heat up a server so much that it requires a 16-ounce bottle’s worth of water to cool it. And recent research in Nature Computational Science identifies another concern: AI’s outsize contribution to the world’s mounting pile of electronic waste. The study found that generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to 5 million tons of this harmful trash to the planet by 2030.
Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe gets rid of annually. Cell phones, microwave ovens, computers, and other common digital products often contain mercury, lead, or other poisonous substances. When improperly thrown away, they can pollute air, water and soil. The United Nations found that in 2022 about 78 percent of the world’s e-waste wound up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites, where laborers risk their health to search for rare metals.
Few countries enforce proper management of e-waste. Even those with laws often fail to carry them out. In the US, 25 states have e-waste management policies, but there’s no federal law requiring electronics recycling. In February 2024, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts introduced a bill that would require federal agencies to study and develop standards for AI’s environmental impacts, including e-waste. That bill, the Artificial Intelligence Environmental Impacts Act of 2024, proposes a reporting system, but it would be voluntary, and AI developers would not be forced to cooperate.
Companies that use AI have numerous options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less intensive applications. Repairing and reusing outdated hardware components can also cut waste by 42 percent, Tzachor and his co-authors note in the study. And more efficient chip and algorithm design could reduce generative AI’s demand for hardware and electricity. Combining all these strategies would reduce e-waste by 86 percent, the study authors estimate.
12. What is the concern linked to generative AI in recent research
A. Its high consumption of energy.
B. Its role in worsening the e-waste crisis.
C. Its production of intense heat during operation.
D. Its reliance on rare metals found in specific regions.
13. What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The dangers of e-waste. B. The contribution of generative AI.
C. The process of recycling e-waste. D. The specific examples of electronic products.
14. Why did Senator Ed Markey introduce the 2024 bill
A. To force AI developers to recycle e-waste.
B To replace a nationwide e-waste recycling law.
C To set federal rules for AI’s environmental effects.
D. To change existing state-level e-waste management policies.
15. Which is suggested as an effective method to limit AI-related e-waste
A. Increasing investment in new recycling technologies.
B. Replacing broken devices with intensive applications.
C. Extending server lifespan with maintenance and updates.
D. Abandoning old hardware components to ensure efficiency.

It was the weekly reading time for the second graders. Eager hands waved in the air, anxious to be chosen to read a story. Children easily sailed through sentences, their voices rising and falling with the plot of the stories. But this was the moment Ethan feared most.
As long as Ethan could remember, he had struggled with reading difficulties. Letters mixed up on the page like puzzle pieces. He would stop at very simple sounds and mispronounce words. The thought of reading aloud in the classroom makes his palms sweat. Struggling with a skill that his classmates seem to have mastered easily, Ethan felt ashamed. Even extra practice with his teacher Ms. Lopez made him feel defeated.
This semester, Ethan’s school started a new program: working with the local R. E. A. D. group to bring specially trained therapy dogs into the school as “reading buddies” (伙伴). The program paired students with calm, kind dogs. There would be no corrections, no pressure — just quiet company. Posters filled the hallways, showing smiling kids sitting with dogs, books in hand.
As Ethan wandered by the posters at lunch, a spark of hope rose in his chest. His fingers leafed through the sign-up sheet and then pulled back, cheeks burning. With other kids approaching the posters, he stepped away a bit. Ms. Lopez, who had noticed Ethan’s struggle, pulled Ethan aside. Her voice was soft but firm, “I saw you at the reading buddy sign-up.” Ms. Lopez handed him a small leaflet with a photo of a friendly sheepdog, “Think of it as talking to a friend who loves stories. You don’t have to be good at it — just have a try.” Her words eased Ethan’s nerves a bit.
That afternoon, Ethan gathered his courage to head to the book corner with his favorite book Sunny — a picture book about a lost puppy that, despite being scared, eventually found its way to a safe and loving home.

When Ethan pushed the door open, a sheepdog appeared. It was the one from the leaflet, with soft white fur and warm brown eyes. It trotted over gently and sat at his feet, its tail wagging slowly. A volunteer smiled and said the dog’s name was Bailey. Ethan took a deep breath, sat on the floor, and opened his book. He started to read in a low voice, his hands trembling a little. When he stumbled over a long word, he paused, feeling embarrassed. But Bailey just looked up at him, its tail still wagging, as if waiting patiently for him to go on.
Encouraged by its support, Ethan tried again, louder this time. He focused on the words, forgetting his nervousness little by little. He read about the lost puppy’s adventures, his voice rising and falling with the story. When he finished the last page, he looked up with a big smile. The volunteer clapped lightly, and Bailey licked his hand happily. For the first time, Ethan didn’t feel ashamed of reading. Instead, he felt a sense of pride. He knew this was just the start, and with Bailey by his side, he would become a better reader soon.
