Many people might arch online for answers to questions like whether new energy vehicles are suitable for u

on high plateaus as they prepare for a road trip to the Tibet autonomous region, but Mu Yiping and his wife, Tan Yan,

focud on something el.

Like so many others, the young couple from Chongqing traveled to the region to enjoy the enchanting sight of

peach blossoms in late March, but what t them apart was that they had come with a mobile coffee van(廂式貨車). “I

have been looking forward to visiting Tibet for a long time,” said Mu, 32. “And then I had the idea of starting a

mobile coffee van business to allow me to fund my travels as I enjoyed the trip.”

To ensure they reached Nyingchi city before peach blossom ason, they left Chongqing in late February. While

crossing a mountain pass at about 4,400 meters, they were stuck for two days due to heavy snowfall and had to eat and

sleep in the van. “Once we hit the road, we discovered that the trip might not be quite as wonderful as we had

imagined. We often had unexpected problems with water and power, and it was also difficult to buy supplies on the

road,” Tan said.

But as their mountain journey continued, so did their progress with their coffee business, which they would t

up beside the road during traffic jams. They also began to rve new drinks with a Tibetan twist.

In mid-March, as the peach trees were still budding, the couple arrived in Bomi county in Nyingchi and decided

to stay there for a while. Despite the exhausting drive, the stunning views made it all worthwhile. They stayed for 20

days in Bomi, eagerly waiting for pink peach flowers to cover the mountainside.

“The sight was amazing and really made our day,” Mu said. “Compared with my last visit, I have noticed

significant improvements in the quality of public infrastructure such as roads and scenic spots, which now offer

quality rvices. Whether it’s camping or lf-driving tours, everything is so convenient in Tibet,” Mu said.

24. What did the couple focus on during the trip?

A. Peach blossoms. B. Means of transport. C. A coffee business. D. Mobile workforce.

25. What do we learn about their couple?

A. Their van was often on the line.

C. They swung into action in Mid-March.

A. Tibet has undergone incredible changes.

C. It takes ages for Tibet to become amazing.

27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Tibet: a blessing to Humankind B. On the road: the Inspiration behind Coffee

C

We are eating more fish than ever the days. At around 20 kilograms per person, global fish consumption is now

more than twice what it was in the 1960s. What’s really remarkable, though, is where that fish comes from.

For the first time in human history, most of our aquatic(水產的) food now comes from farming rather than

fishing.

C. Benefiting from a stunning mountain journey D. Enjoying dream life in Tibet with a coffee van

B. Their journey was no easy task.

D. Their concern was justified on the trip.

B. Tourism in Tibet needs to be prioritized.

D. The tourist ason in Tibet is well underway.

26. What message did Mu want to convey in the last paragraph?

People ate around 73 million tonnes of farmed fish—just more than half of the volume of fish that humans

consumed—in 2014. That’s out of a total fish supply of 167 million tonnes; the remaining 20 million or so tonnes go

turn into things like animal feed and medical products.

To keep eating fish at the current rate, we’re definitely going to need to keep aquaculture(水產養殖) developing.

That’s becau the volume of fish caught in the wild has leveled off since the 1990s.

Back in 1974, only 10% of marine fish stocks had been over fished. Now, more than three-tenths are. Only a

tenth of our oceans’ fish stocks could support heavier fishing than current levels.

But while catchings at a have suffered, fish-farming has been growing at a fast rate. A lot of that is coming

from China, which produces 60% of the world’s farmed fish. In fact, some 35 countries, including China, now

produce more farmed than wild-caught fish.

This shift toward aquaculture isn’t just good for ensuring salmon(三文魚) on your plate; it’s also crucial to

ensuring food curity and sustainability. By 2050, the world will need to feed an estimated 9.7 billion people. They’ll

have to get their protein somewhere. However, raising cattle, pigs, and other land-bad animals requires vast sums of

grain and water. For example, pound for pound, beef requires 15 times more feed to rai than carp, a freshwater fish

farmed all over Asia. That grain—and the water needed to grow it—could be consumed by people instead.

However, aquaculture is not a silver bullet. In some southeast Asian countries, shrimp farming does disastrous

damage to marine ecosystems. Despite the problems, however, shrimp continues to be among the most popular

afood worldwide.

28. What is surprising about the fish we eat?

A. The history of fish.

C. The importance of fish.

A. It places increasing emphasis on fishing.

B. The farming of fish.

D. The reproduction of fish.

B. It supplies 60% of the world’s fish products.

29. What does the author say about China in terms of aquatic food?

C. It boasts of the world’s largest fishing stocks. D. It rais more fish than caught from the wild.

30. Why does aquaculture have a vital role the days?

A. It is a must for feeding the world’s fast-growing population.

B. It ensures a balanced healthy diet for people the world over.

C. It proves a reliable source of protein for humans and animals.

D. It is esntial to maintaining both mental and physical health.

31. Which has the clost meaning to the underlined “a silver bullet” in the last paragraph?

A. A big surpri. B. A minor problem. C. A wi move.

D

Recognizing when a friend or colleague feels sad, angry or surprid is key to getting along with others. But a

new study suggests that being nsitive to feelings may sometimes come with an extra do of stress. This and other

rearch challenge the prevailing view that emotional intelligence is uniformly beneficial to its bearer.

In a study, psychologists Myriam Bechtoldt of the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management in Germany

asked 166 male university students a ries of questions to measure their emotional intelligence. For example, they

showed the students photographs of people’s faces and asked them to what extent feelings such as happiness or

D. A wet blanket.

disgust were being expresd. The students then had to give job talks in front of judges displaying rious facial

expressions. The scientists measured concentrations of the stress hormone cortisol in the students’ saliva(唾液) before

and after the talk.

In students who were rated more emotionally intelligent, the stress measures incread more during the

experiment and took longer to go back to baline. The findings suggest that some people may be too emotionally

clever for their own good, says Bechtoldt. “Sometimes you can be so good at something that it caus trouble,” she

notes.

Indeed, the study adds to previous rearch hinting at a darker side of emotional intelligence. A study published

in 2002 in Personality and Individual Differences suggested that emotionally perceptive people might be particularly

influenced by feelings of depression and hopelessness. Furthermore, veral studies have implied that emotional

intelligence can be ud to control others for personal gains.

More rearch is needed to e how exactly the relation between emotional intelligence and stress would play out

in women and in people of different ages and education levels. Nevertheless, emotional intelligence is a uful skill to

have, as long as you learn to also properly deal with emotions—both others’ and your own, says Bechtoldt. For

example, some nsitive individuals may assume responsibility for other people’s sadness or anger, which ultimately

stress them out. Remember, as Bechtoldt says, “you are not responsible for how other people feel.”

32. Why did Myriam Bechtoldt conduct the rearch?

A. To challenge the public assumption.

B. To introduce measures to reduce stress.

C. To asss the impacts of being emotionally clever.

D. To demonstrate how to distinguish different feelings.

33. What does the finding indicate?

A. Greater emotional cleverness brings a head start in one’s life.

B. People may suffer from having a high emotional intelligence.

C. People’s psychological well-being is related to various factors.

D. Emotional intelligence means an upper hand in job interviews.

34. What do we learn about emotional intelligence from a number of studies?

A. Some people may take advantage of it and benefit themlves.

B. Some people may lack it and are easily influenced by others.

C. People suffering from depression are emotionally immature.

D. People who look at the dark side of life are often depresd.

35. What does the author suggest nsitive individuals do?

A. Help people to deal with their troubles in life.

B. Learn to cope with people’s negative feelings.

C. Rid themlves of worries over worldly affairs.

D. Avoid burdening themlves with others’ feelings.
