请认真阅读下面短文. 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选顶。

A

There’s a well-known saying in the film Forrest Gump: “Life is like a box of chocolate; you never know what you’re gonna get.” It’s the same with blind boxes.

Each of these small, sealed (密封的) boxes contains one of many toys in a series. The buyer doesn’t know which one they’ve gotten until they open the package. In recent years it becomes big business in China.

During the Double 11 shopping day, Pop Mart, a leading blind box company in China, sold 55,000 Labubu dolls on Tmall in just 9 seconds, according to a Tmall report.

One reason for their popularity is the appealing (诱人的) appearance inside the boxes. They’re like small cartoon characters. They can be placed anywhere in your home as a decoration. But another, perhaps more important reason people like them is the fun of being surprised.

“The most interesting thing about blind boxes is the gap between what you expect and what you get,” said Wen Xi, a blind box collector from Beijing.

Last year, over 200,000 Chinese customers spent more than 20,000 yuan collecting blind boxes. Most of them were Generation Z, or those born after 1995, according to a report by Tmall.

21．What can you get from a blind box?

A．The toy printed on the box. B．One of the toys in a series.

C．A cartoon character you choose. D．A decoration just for your house.

22．Why are the blind boxes so popular?

A．The toys Pop Mart makes are people’s favourite.

B．Blind box collectors has made a great difference.

C．People enjoy the surprise before opening the box.

D．These boxes are really a good choice as presents.

B

Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind? For Alison Jenson, 15, this used to happen several times a week. Alison was a shopaholic. She just couldn’t stop shopping and she loved special offers.

Alison’s bedroom is full of stuff. “I’ve been to every shop in Birmingham, I think,” says Alison. She picks up some earrings. The labels are still on them. “These were half price,” she says. “I’ve never won them.” Alison’s problem wasn’t just jewellery. She also bought a lot of clothes, though not many shoes, because they were usually too expensive. She has also bought lots of other small things-like 20 new covers for her phone. She hasn’t used any of them.

According to experts, we all feel excited after we buy something new. For shopaholics, it’s a little different. Soon after they buy something, they think they’ve made a mistake and start to feel unhappy. So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.

Psychologists(心理学家) first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915. However, there was very little research on the subject until recently. Now, doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem, and the situation is getting worse. There are also more teenage shopaholics now, although most young people don’t have enough money to go shopping very regularly.

Alison knew she had a problem. “I often bought something every day. Usually it was something small, but I just needed to buy it,” she says. “I spent money that I got for my birthday, and when I was short of cash, I borrowed money from friends or my parents. When I couldn’t go shopping, I felt anxious. Then one day, my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said, ‘This is crazy!’ I  knew they were right. I needed some big changes in my life.”

Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed. She no longer thinks she’s a shopaholic. “When I want to buy something in a shop, I ask myself two questions,” she says. “Do I need it? Can I afford it? The answer to both questions is usually ‘no’, so I walk away. It’s great!”

23．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.

A．psychologists     B．doctors   C．Alison’s friends   D．Alison’s parents

24．Which word can best describe Alison’s feeling at the end of the passage?

A．Glad.     B．Worried.   C．Embarrassed.   D．Moved.

25．What do experts say about shopaholics?

A．Shopaholics feel sad when they are shopping.

B．Shopaholics feel more excited than other people when they shop.

C．Shopaholics soon feel unhappy after they have bought something.

D．Shopping is the only way shopaholics can feel happy.

26．The best title for the passage above might be ________.

A．Shop Till You Drop!   B．Shopping Makes Me Happy!

C．You’d Better Shop Less!   D．I Can Stop Shopping Now!

C

Walking towards the house slowly, Emma stopped to cut off fading flowers or dead leaves now and then. There were few weeds (杂草). Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden. Emma wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside because she wanted to avoid talking to her.

But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us, Emma told herself. She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer.

She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn’t because she had to work. Moreover, she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read.

“Why do you have to go to college to study art?” Emma asked her. “All the great artists didn’t go to college.”

Yuki shook her head. “That was a different time. It’s hard to explain.”

“I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist. This is a nice quiet place to live.”

“I don’t know. How would I support myself here?” “You can always give lessons.” Emma said.

“But I don’t want to spend a long time looking at kids’ drawings.”

“What will you do after you graduate, anyway? Will you become a teacher somewhere else then?”

“Grandma, I don’t know.” Yuki sighed.

“What is the use of going to college if you don’t know what you’re going there for?” “Maybe I’m going because I don’t know. I just want to study art now. I don’t want to think that far ahead.”

The minute Emma was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.

“I’m going to the garden to weed your flowerbed,” she said, “Let me know if there’s something else I can do.”

On Yuki’s visit, Emma felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable (易怒的). Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.

27．We know from the article that Yuki was ________.

A．a gardener       B．an artist          C．an art teacher     D．a college student

28．From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that Yuki wanted to __________.

A．weed the flowerbed   B．finish the dialogue

C．leave Emma’s garden   D．take some photos

29．It can be learnt from the passage that _________.

A．Emma and Yuki had very different ideas about college

B．Emma wasn’t satisfied with Yuki’s work in the garden

C．Emma and Yuki agreed on living together all the year

D．Yuki studied art because she wanted to be a teacher

D

Visiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn’t an astronaut, but a day trip to the stars is already open for people to order!

A new company (公司), Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years’ time. The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule (太空舱) tied to a balloon the size of a football field.

They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars. Although the price is yet to be fixed, the expensive flight, which will take six hours, is likely to cost over £100, 000. Because the capsule remains within the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), no special clothing or training are needed. It means that older people or those with health problems will be included.

One problem may be the method of landing back on the Earth. The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea. Passengers, spacemen, capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship.

Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises, while the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines. The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket.

Space travel may soon be a reality (现实), but how visitors get there is still a very open question.

30．We can see from the passage that Space Perspective ________.

A．has completed over 500 tests   B．makes it easier for us to fly abroad

C．has quite a long history   D．wants to use Neptune to carry people

31．According to Space Perspective’s plan, space tourists ________.

A．should wear special clothing   B．can watch the Earth from space

C．will land back on the ground   D．must keep in good health

32．The writer implies (暗示) in the passage that ________.

A．the race to get tourists into space is becoming hot

B．there will be only four ways for visitors to reach space

C．the Stratollite is popular with space passengers

D．Richard, Jeff and Elon are all short of money

My friends and I have been using Instagram and Snapchat for a while, but my parents have had mixed feelings about allowing me to use social media. However, they finally gave in when I proved that I was able to manage my time wisely and get my homework done. I also promised that I would not spend a lot of time on it. I really didn’t want to miss out on this fun. I have made three TikTok videos so far and one of them got over 2,000 views within a few days.

Although it didn’t win, I really enjoyed the process since my video showed my creativity.

My dream

If dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that can never fly. I have a dream that one day I will become a teacher.
