As they reached the top, the full force of the earthquake hit, but Alice and the others managed to stay on top of the hill.After what seemed like a century, the earthquake finally stopped. Alice looked down at the town she
19、had called home. It was in ruins. Houses were destroyed, roads were cracked open, and a large crack had formed in the middle of the town square.Alice knew she had to help.

25、ts that our connection to the Internet is affecting how we think. Professor Evan F. Risko led a study where 100 participants（参与者）faced general knowledge questions, such as naming the capital of France. For half of the study, participants had access to the Internet. They had to look up the answer whe
26、n they said that they did not know the answer. In the other half of the study, participants who did not have access to the Internet did differently.The team found that the people who had access to the Internet were about 5 percent more likely to say that they did not know the answer to the question.
27、 And the people with access to the Internet reported feeling as though they knew less. “When a large amount of information is within reach, people seem less likely to rely on their own knowledge,” said Professor Risko.Through the results, the researchers held that access to the Internet might make i
28、t less acceptable to say you know something but are incorrect. It is also possible that participants were more likely to say they didnt know an answer when they had access to the Internet, because online searching offers a chance to confirm（证实）their answer or satisfy their curiosity.“Our results sug

33、ling to say we know things.DLast year, Americans spent more than $22 billion on chocolate. But the tasty treat comes at a far greater cost than this.Thats because farmers often cut down trees in the rainforest when they need more land to plant cacao trees. This leads to climate（气候）change. In turn, c
34、limate change hurts cacao crops（产量）. This puts chocolate at risk. But experts are developing solutions to ensure its future.Chocolate comes mainly from the Cocoa Belt, a narrow piece of land along the equator. In the Cocoa Belt, it is hot and rainy. The conditions are perfect for growing cacao. But
35、in recent years, climate change has a bad influence on the weather in the Cocoa Belt. As a result, cacao trees produce fewer beans. Climate change has also led to the spread of disease that harms trees.In 2013, researchers studied the changing conditions in the Cocoa Belt. They said that by 2050, it
36、 will be harder to grow cacao in 90% of places where it is now planted. But Christian Bunn of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture says chocolate wont disappear anytime soon. Plans to protect it are already taking shape.One solution to the problem is cross-breeding（杂交）. Scientists have
37、developed new cacao trees that stand up to disease. Some even produce more cacao.Weather stations will also help. Groups are building them in Africa. Around 70% of cacao is grown there. lntormation from the stations will help farmers know when to plant trees. “Years back, farmers would follow farmin
38、g rules that go with the seasons,” Bunn said. “Those rules dont always apply anymore.”These fixes could help farmers grow more cacao on less land. That could help end the push to clear rainforest. Thats good for chocolate, and a sweet deal for the planet.“Everything has a side effect,” Bunn said. “W
39、e have to be smarter about our food.”27. What causes a drop in cacao crops according to the text?A. Climate change.B. Less farmland.C. Water pollution.D. Higher costs.28.
