The invasive fire ant species has significantly impacted local ecosystems. In areas where fire ants are present, they have eradicated native black ants and consumed resources that were also consumed by green ants. Interestingly, scientists have found that in regions where fire ants have not invaded, the population of black ants has also decreased.
Which of the following, if true, best explains the decrease in black ant populations in areas where fire ants are not present?
A. The fire ants' aggressive nature has led to the extinction of several small lizard species that prey on black ants.
B. In anticipation of fire ant invasions, extensive use of ant pesticides has been implemented in areas where fire ants are not yet present.
C. The black ants have migrated to other regions in search of new food sources due to changes in their natural habitat.
D. The decrease in black ant population is due to a viral disease that has spread among ant colonies.
E. Climate change has led to environmental conditions that are unfavorable for black ants but favorable for green ants.

Xiaobai is a well-known chicken cuisine expert. In the areas where Xiaobai has opened his restaurants, his signature dish "Xiaobai's Tender Chicken Feet" has become incredibly popular, leading to a decline in chicken meat sales at other local restaurants. Interestingly, scientists have discovered that even in areas where Xiaobai has not opened restaurants, chicken meat sales at other restaurants have also decreased.
If the following were true, which would best explain the decrease in chicken meat sales at other restaurants in areas where Xiaobai has not opened restaurants?
A. The immense popularity of Xiaobai's restaurants has attracted a large number of diners, causing the dining market in nearby cities to shrink.
B. To prevent competition from Xiaobai's restaurants, restaurants in other areas have started offering "Tender Chicken Feet" dishes, but the taste is not as good as Xiaobai's, which has reduced customers' appetites.
C. Inspired by Xiaobai's Tender Chicken Feet, many diners have started trying to make chicken feet dishes at home, reducing the frequency of dining out.
D. The decrease in chicken meat sales in other areas is due to rumors of a "Chicken Feet Syndrome," causing panic among the public about consuming chicken feet.
E. Climate change has led to an increase in chicken meat prices, causing restaurant owners to reduce the supply of chicken dishes.
Xiaobai is a well-known live streamer. His streaming content includes two series: "Xiaobai's Business School Gossip" and "Xiaobai's Food Adventures."

Xiaobai is considering discontinuing the "Xiaobai's Business School Gossip" series to increase his overall revenue.
If the following were true, which would most weaken Xiaobai's plan to discontinue the "Xiaobai's Business School Gossip" series?
A. "Xiaobai's Business School Gossip" and "Xiaobai's Food Adventures" series attract different audience groups.
B. Viewers tend to watch gossip videos from streamers who also produce food-related content, as they believe these streamers have more passion.
C. The "Xiaobai's Business School Gossip" series is often favored by business enthusiasts, who rarely watch food videos.
D. Most new viewers decide which of Xiaobai's series to watch based on recommendations from friends.
E. Xiaobai's main competitor recently stopped producing business school gossip content and focused on food adventures, resulting in an increase in overall revenue.

In recent years, the rapid development of China's e-commerce industry has significantly impacted traditional retail businesses. According to a report by the Ministry of Commerce, online retail sales in China reached 11.76 trillion yuan ($1.85 trillion) in 2020, accounting for 24.9% of the total retail sales of consumer goods. This represents a year-on-year increase of 10.9%, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the most prominent players in China's e-commerce market is Alibaba Group, which operates popular platforms such as Taobao and Tmall. In 2020, Alibaba's annual active consumers reached 779 million, with a GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume) of 7.49 trillion yuan ($1.18 trillion) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. The company's success can be attributed to its innovative strategies, such as the "New Retail" concept, which integrates online and offline retail experiences.
However, the rapid growth of e-commerce has also brought challenges to traditional retailers. Many brick-and-mortar stores have struggled to compete with the convenience, variety, and competitive prices offered by online platforms. To adapt to the changing market, some traditional retailers have embraced digital transformation, establishing their own online presence or partnering with e-commerce platforms.
For example, Wangfujing Group, a leading department store chain in China, launched its online store on Tmall in 2015. By leveraging the platform's vast user base and advanced technologies, Wangfujing has been able to expand its reach and improve its operational efficiency. In 2020, the company's online sales increased by 30% year-on-year, partially offsetting the impact of the pandemic on its offline business.
Furthermore, the Chinese government has introduced policies to support the integration of online and offline retail, such as the "Internet Plus" initiative. This initiative aims to promote the application of internet technologies across various industries, including retail, to drive innovation and economic growth. Local governments have also provided incentives, such as subsidies and tax breaks, to encourage traditional retailers to embrace e-commerce.
As China's e-commerce market continues to evolve, it is crucial for traditional retailers to adapt and find ways to leverage the opportunities presented by digital transformation. By embracing change and innovation, these businesses can remain competitive and contribute to the overall growth of China's retail industry.

In a groundbreaking study, Lindh and Baker discovered a pattern of six earthquakes occurring at roughly 22-year intervals along a 15-mile stretch of the San Andreas fault near the small town of Parkfield. Their theory predicted that the next quake of at least magnitude 6.0 should have struck Parkfield by 1988, with a 95 percent probability by the end of 1992. Historical accounts of Parkfield earthquakes reported numerous anomalous precursors, prompting the installation of over twenty observational networks to detect these signs. However, as of this writing, the anticipated Parkfield earthquake has not materialized, casting doubt on the concept of earthquake periodicity.
Further evidence against earthquake cycles has emerged from the relatively new field of paleoseismology. Large earthquakes leave behind geological features such as fault scarps, landslides, and soil liquefaction, which can be excavated and radiocarbon-dated centuries or even millennia after the event. In 1989, paleoseismologist Kerry E. Sieh and his colleagues at Caltech published a chronology of earthquakes at Pallett Creek, located along the San Andreas fault approximately 35 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Their findings revealed a mean interval of 132 years between ten earthquakes that occurred over the past two millennia, with individual intervals ranging from 44 to 332 years.
Despite the setback, Lindh remains undeterred, likening earthquake prediction to the development of an AIDS vaccine, stating, "You are not allowed to be pessimistic or optimistic." Robert Wesson also maintains that predictions can help mitigate hazards. However, other seismologists, such as Robert Geller, vehemently oppose any form of forecast, arguing that neither short-term nor long-term predictions have a sound scientific basis. Geller warns, "The danger in basing government policy on such unsound predictions is that there is a tendency to assume that particular regions are especially dangerous. That has the effect of concentrating earthquake disaster mitigation efforts, rather than spreading them out over an entire region of similar geological and seismic type."
