Guardian Ad-Lite: Privacy-First News Access for Modern Readers
（原创）As online privacy regulations tighten and readers grow more conscious of data
tracking, The Guardian has launched Guardian Ad-Lite—a new subscription tier crafted to balance
reader control with sustainable journalism funding. This innovative option responds to rising privacy
demands while upholding the publication’s commitment to high-quality, independent reporting.
What Is Guardian Ad-Lite?
Priced at £5 per month, Guardian Ad-Lite lets subscribers not choose personalized advertising
and third-party cookie（网络跟踪文件） tracking, while unlocking full access to The Guardian’s
entire online content—from breaking news and in-depth features to opinion pieces and cultural
coverage. Unlike the free access model, which requires accepting all ads (including targeted ones)
and cookie tracking, Ad-Lite serves only non-personalized ads, such as generic promotions for
consumer goods or public initiatives. For those seeking a fully ad-free experience, The Guardian also
offers an All-Access Digital Subscription at £12 per month, including exclusive content, offline
reading, and priority customer support across multiple devices.
The Story Behind Ad-Lite
The launch follows new UK privacy regulations requiring publishers to offer a clear "reject all
cookies" option. Since the rule took effect, The Guardian has seen a 30% drop in users agreeing to
personalized advertising—a significant blow, as targeted ads generate higher revenue than non-
personalized ones. "We needed a solution that respects readers’ privacy choices without affecting
our ability to fund rigorous journalism," noted Imogen Fox, The Guardian’s chief advertising officer.
Early beta user feedback has been positive, with many praising the flexibility of this middle-ground
option. Existing free users can upgrade to Ad-Lite in just three clicks via the website or mobile app,
with no long-term commitment required.
To learn more about Guardian Ad-Lite or compare subscription plans, visit The Guardian’s
official subscription page for detailed terms and conditions.
21.What distinguishes Guardian Ad-Lite from the free access model?
A. No personalized ads. B. No cookie tracking.
C. Full content access. D. No personalized ads or cookie tracking.
22.How much more does the All-Access Digital Subscription cost than Ad-Lite monthly?
A. £5 B. £7 C. £12 D. £17
23.What can we infer about Guardian Ad-Lite from the text?
A. It has no requirement of long-term subscription.
B. It is the most popular subscription option of The Guardian.
C. It provides the same support as All-Access Digital Subscription.
D. It was launched before the new UK privacy regulations took effect.

(原创)When Justin Cheung lost his sight in a car accident at 28, he feared his hiking passion
would fade. "Trails were my happy place, but I couldn’t even navigate sidewalks safely," he recalled.
Three years ago, he tested Horizon X, an AI-powered smart glass by Dr. Elara Voss’s team. Today,
Cheung has hiked 500+ miles across the Rockies, guided by audio cues like "small rock 3 feet left"
or "gentle uphill 50 yards".
Horizon X isn’t just a tool—it’s the product of Dr. Voss’s decade-long work. Her grandmother,
who lost vision to glaucoma in her 70s, inspired her to create a device that "restores independence,
not just compensates for loss". Unlike traditional canes or magnifiers, the glasses use advanced
computer vision to analyze surroundings in real time: detect obstacles, recognize trail markers, and
alert users to terrain changes affecting balance. Data is translated into clear audio prompts via bone-
conduction headphones, letting users track natural sounds key to outdoor lovers.
"Early prototypes were bulky and slow—mixing up squirrels and boulders, taking 2 seconds to
respond," Dr. Voss laughed. "We partnered with parks to collect 1.2 million trail images, training AI
on diverse outdoor conditions. Now it distinguishes twigs from cliff edges in 0.3 seconds." For
Cheung, it changed his life. On his first hike with Horizon X, he navigated a narrow pre-accident
trail with a steep drop-off. "I never thought I’d trust tech like this, but it felt like a knowledgeable
friend," he said. "No overbearing instructions, just calm, accurate guidance."
The device has expanded beyond hiking: low-vision educators lead trips with it, rangers use it
for night patrols, and rescue teams deploy it in low visibility. Dr. Voss’s team is refining an 80-gram
version with 12-hour battery life—double the current model—and adding personalized voice
commands. "Tech should remove barriers, not create them," she said. "Justin’s journey proves
adventure isn’t about sight—it’s about what you pursue."
Cheung, now a Horizon X ambassador, leads monthly hikes for visually impaired people.
"Blindness doesn’t have to end exploration," he said. "These glasses aren’t just for trails—they’re for
navigating life with courage again."
24.What inspired Dr. Voss to develop the Horizon X?
A. Her hiking hobby B. A friend’s accident
C. Her grandmother’s illness D. Blind hikers’ requests
25.What makes the Horizon X stand out from traditional visual aids?
A. It uses AI for real-time analysis
B. It is cheap and easy to carry
C. It works only in outdoor areas
D. It requires no technical skills
26.Why does the author mention Justin Cheung’s first hike with the Horizon X?
A. To show the device’s flaws
B. To prove its practical value
C. To introduce its design team
D. To explain how it was invented
27.What can we infer about the Horizon X from the passage?
A. It will replace human guides soon
B. It has been used by millions of people
C. It is being improved for better performance
D. It was first tested in desert environments

(原创) Cities account for 75% of global carbon dioxide emissions, making them key in climate
change efforts. While renewable energy and electric vehicles gain traction, a new solution emerges:
turning urban CO₂ into usable building materials. Developed by the University of Sheffield, the
CarbonCure system has been adopted by over 300 concrete plants worldwide, transforming
greenhouse gas into a core ingredient for roads, bridges and skyscrapers.
The science behind CarbonCure is elegant. When CO₂ is injected into wet concrete, it reacts
with calcium ions to form calcium carbonate（碳酸钙）—a mineral in limestone and seashells. This
process permanently locks CO₂ away and strengthens concrete, cutting the need for cement, which
alone contributes 8% of global emissions. "Concrete is the most widely used material on Earth, so
even a small carbon footprint reduction has huge impact," explains project lead Dr. Rebecca Lee.
What sets CarbonCure apart from other carbon capture technologies is its scalability and cost-
effectiveness. Unlike industrial facilities requiring massive infrastructure, it can be modified into
existing plants for under $50,000. Since 2018, it has stored 1.2 million tons of CO₂—equivalent to
taking 260,000 cars off the road for a year. In Vancouver, it built the city’s tallest residential tower,
cutting emissions by 15%; in London, it’s used for a new underground rail line, reducing concrete-
related emissions by 20%.
Despite success, challenges remain. The technology currently captures only 5-10% of CO₂ from
concrete production, and widespread adoption requires collaboration between governments,
construction firms and investors. "We need policy incentives（激励）for low-carbon concrete," Dr.
Lee notes. Cities like San Francisco and Copenhagen have already introduced relevant mandates and
tax breaks.
Looking ahead, the team aims to boost efficiency to capture 25% of concrete’s CO₂ by 2030 and
explore using captured CO₂ in asphalt and drywall. "Cities don’t just produce pollution—they can
become solutions," Dr. Lee says. "By turning CO₂ into something valuable, we’re building a
sustainable future for urban communities."
28.What is the core function of the CarbonCure system?
A. To reduce cement usage
B. To capture CO₂ for concrete
C. To build more durable infrastructure
D. To replace traditional building materials
29.What does the underlined word "scalability" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Easy expansion B. Low cost
C. High efficiency D. Strong durability
30.What advantage does CarbonCure have over other carbon capture technologies?
A. It is cheaper and easier to scale
B. It stores more CO₂ annually
C. It works in industrial facilities only
D. It produces limestone and seashells
31.What can we infer about the future of CarbonCure?
A. It will completely replace cement
B. It needs policy support to expand
C.It will be adopted by all cities by 2030
D. It will focus on underground construction

(原创)For centuries, bamboo weaving has been a cornerstone of rural life in southern China,
with artisans creating baskets, mats, and household items using age-old techniques. But as modern
manufacturing boomed, the craft declined—young people left villages for cities, and traditional
products lost out to cheap plastic alternatives. "We risked losing not just a skill, but a cultural
heritage," recalls Zhang Mei, a fifth-generation bamboo weaver from Zhejiang Province.
A decade ago, Zhang and fellow artisans partnered with design schools to reinvent the craft for
global markets. They kept core techniques like "cross-weaving" and "twisted plaiting" while adding
contemporary designs: minimalist lampshades, modular storage boxes and even furniture. The key
was balancing tradition with functionality. "Overseas consumers love the natural, handmade feel, but
they also want products fitting modern lifestyles," Zhang explains.
The improved craft quickly gained traction. In 2018, their bamboo lighting collection was
featured at Milan Design Week. Since then, products have sold in over 40 countries, generating 20
million yuan annual revenue. More importantly, the success revitalized rural communities: over 500
local artisans, mostly elderly women, earned stable incomes. "I never thought my grandmother’s
skills would take me to international exhibitions," says 28-year-old weaver Li Xiao, who returned to
her village to join the team.
Beyond economics, global popularity sparked cultural exchange. Workshops in Paris, New York
and Tokyo saw Chinese weavers collaborate with local artists—for example, a joint project with
French designers merged bamboo weaving with European textile patterns, exhibited at the Louvre’s
decorative arts section. "Cultural heritage isn’t meant for museums," Zhang says. "It’s a living
tradition connecting people across borders."
Looking ahead, the team will expand into sustainable fashion accessories like bamboo fiber
handbags and scarves, and use virtual workshops and online courses to teach the craft globally. "The
future of traditional crafts isn’t freezing the past," Zhang notes. "It’s adapting to the present and
inspiring the future—we’re not just selling products, but building cultural bridges."
32.Why did bamboo weaving face decline in China?
A. Young people left rural areas
B. Bamboo materials became scarce
C. It was replaced by modern art
D. Artisans lost interest in the craft
33.What made bamboo weaving popular overseas?
A. Cheap prices and high quality
B. Traditional designs and materials
C. Modern functions and natural charm
D. Collaboration with famous museums
34.What can we infer from the success of bamboo weaving?
A. Traditional crafts need no innovation
B. Cultural exchange boosts economic growth
C. Rural artisans are unwilling to work in cities
D. Handmade products have global market potential
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Bamboo weaving techniques are difficult to learn
B. A traditional Chinese craft gains global appeal through innovation
C. Rural communities in China rely on bamboo weaving for income
D. Cultural exchange between China and Europe is becoming frequent

(原创)How to Practice Digital Minimalism（极简主义） in a Hyperconnected World
In an era dominated by smartphones, social media and constant notifications, many feel
overwhelmed by digital clutter. Digital minimalism—intentionally cutting distractions to focus on
what matters—offers a way to regain control. But how to start without feeling deprived? Here are
practical steps to embrace it effectively.
Define your digital values
Before cutting back on apps or screen time, clarify your priorities. Do you want more time for
reading, face-to-face interactions or creative projects? 36
Write down your top three digital values
(e.g., "stay connected with family") and use them as a guide. For example, if "learning" is a value,
keep educational apps but delete mindless games.
Conduct a digital audit
Take a week to track your device usage. Note which apps you open most, how much time you
spend on them, and whether they align（使一致） with your values. 37
You might discover you
spend 2 hours a day scrolling social media unconsciously—time that could go to meaningful
activities.
Create digital boundaries
Setting clear boundaries reduces unconscious screen time. Establish "screen-free zones" at
home, such as the dining table or bedroom. 3
8
Another strategy is to schedule specific "digital
windows" for checking emails or messages instead of responding immediately.
39
A cluttered phone or computer increases stress. Uninstall apps that don’t fit your values and
organize the rest into folders. Turn off non-essential notifications (e.g., game updates) so you only
receive important alerts. Use screen time trackers to monitor progress.
Embrace analog alternatives
Digital minimalism doesn’t mean abandoning technology—it means using it intentionally.
Choose analog（模拟的） activities that align with your values.
40
Reading a physical book,
having face-to-face conversations or keeping a paper journal can help you stay present and reduce
screen dependency.
A.Clarify your priorities first.
B.Simplify your digital space.
C.This helps spot hidden time-wasters.
D.Without clear values, you’ll lose focus.
E.Avoid phones at meals or before bedtime.
F.Track app usage to see what adds real value.
G.Replace mindless scrolling with meaningful acts.

It was a crisp October afternoon in Detroit, and I stood 41 at the school supply aisle（过
道）, my 8-year-old son Leo holding a notebook to his chest—his eyes lighting up at the colorful
markers nearby. My wallet held just $ 12—barely enough for groceries, let alone the $ 40 worth of
supplies on my list. Tears pricked（刺痛）my eyes as I 42 the total again, knowing I’d have to
choose between his education and our dinner.
A woman with silver hair and a warm smile approached, noticing my 43 hands. “Is
everything okay, honey?” she asked gently. I explained my situation, my voice faltering（迟疑）
with 44 , unable to meet her gaze. Without a second thought, she pulled out a card and said, “Let
me cover this. But there’s one 45 — pay it forward when you can.”
Her name was Margaret Carter, a retired teacher who’d been doing this for years. That simple
act 46 my perspective entirely. I started saving $ 5 each week, setting it aside for 47 in need.
Last week, I saw a teen mom at the same store, her cart 48 with just a few crayons and a worn
notebook. I handed her $40, repeating Margaret’s exact words. She stared in disbelief, then hugged
me through happy tears. “I will,” she whispered. “And I’ll make sure to keep the 49
unbroken.”
What began as a moment of desperation turned into a lifelong commitment. I’ve 50 over
$300 in donations from friends who wanted to join the cause, and we’ve helped more than 20
families this year. Every time I pass that school supply aisle, I think of Margaret—how a single
selfless act can spark an 51 wave of goodness. It’s not about the money; it’s about the power of
choosing to see someone’s struggle and 52 when it matters most.
Along the way, I’ve 53
many others who, like Margaret, quietly help strangers without
fanfare. Their 54 acts remind me that kindness isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about showing up
for others in small, meaningful ways. And as long as we keep passing it forward, we’ll never run out
of the one thing that truly connects us: 55 for each other.

原创（改编自《卫报》青少年环保主题报道）
Luna, a 17-year-old high school student from Beijing, had always been interested in urban
wildlife. During her weekend volunteer work at the city’s nature reserve, she’d spent months
watching a family of red foxes—their thick tails, careful eyes, and the way they ran quickly through
the low plants. She even kept a notebook, writing down their habits and drawing pictures of their
homes.
Last week, however, something terrible happened. A construction team began clearing land near
the reserve for a new commercial project. Luna hurried to the site after school, only to find the foxes’
living place destroyed—trees cut down, low plants stepped on, and the entrance to their home
blocked by broken stones. The mother fox walked back and forth anxiously nearby, while two soft
baby foxes huddled under a broken branch, shaking with fear. Luna felt sad. She’d tried talking to
the construction workers, but they just shook their shoulders: “We’re just following orders.”
That night, Luna couldn’t sleep. She opened her notebook, looking at the pictures of the fox
family. Suddenly, she remembered Mr. Chen, her biology teacher, who often said, “Small actions
can bring big changes—if we dare to stand up.” Determined to help, Luna wrote a letter asking for
help online, calling on the community to protect the reserve’s wildlife. By early morning, she’d
collected over 200 signatures. But when she arrived at the construction site the next morning, she
saw the workers getting ready to dig further. Just as she felt hopeless, a familiar voice called out:
“Luna? Wait a minute!”
