When summer night falls and the streetlights go on, a dozen cars arrive at an open outdoor space. Drivers open their car trunks and set up stalls (摊位) outside their vehicles. They are selling handmade cakes, coffee and iced drinks, as well as other inexpensive goods out of trunk, while customers relax nearby in camping chairs, listening to live bands and enjoying the soft summer evening.

Car stall fairs emerged as trendy play last summer in cities across China. For the past six months, selling hand-brewed coffee at car stall fairs on the outskirts of Xi’an, Shaanxi province, has been Zhuang Shenyang’s main way of supporting his family, with a daily income ranging from 50 ($6.98) to 2,000 yuan.

The 40-year-old — who learned oil painting in college — had to find ways to support his family last year after he closed down his training school. “After staying at home for several months without income, I made up my mind to go out to earn money, even if it was running a stall on the streets,” he said. He was inspired by a conversation with a roadside food vendor（小贩）earlier this year and found that the business with little investment can make a living.

He sets up his mobile stall almost every day and has attracted many regular customers. “People don’t just come for coffee, they like to sit and talk, often staying into the night,” Zhuang said. “It’s a way young people like to socialize outdoors.”

He named his coffee stall “A Coffee Bar in Debt” with self-deprecating(自嘲的) humor. “I want to convey an attitude that even though I am in debt, I will never ‘let it rot’,” Zhuang said. “The popularity of the fairs shows that many people’s incomes have been affected by the epidemic, but they don’t want to ‘lie flat’ at home; instead, they work hard,” he said.

24．What do we know about car stall fairs?

A．It is organized by the government.

B．It provides oil painting classes.

C．It enhances the sales of cars.

D．It enriches people’s leisure lives.

25．How did Zhuang Shenyang get the idea to start a mobile stall?

A．He got it on the Tiktok.    B．He learned it in a training school.

C．He knew it from a stall keeper.   D．He heard it from his wife.

26．What words can be used to describe Zhuang Shenyang?

A．Skillful and warm-hearted.

B．Humorous and cautious.

C．Sincere and sensible.

D．Responsible and enterprising.

27．What is main idea of the passage?

A．Night stall fairs are catching on.  B．A 40-year-old refuses to lie flat.

C．How can we start a mobile stall?  D．Young people favor handmade food.

C

Every Sunday at 2 p.m., Marisela Godinez, the owner of El Mesón Tequilería, a Mexican restaurant in Austin, Texas, used to fill a 12-gallon bucket, plus another half-bucket, with leftover food from the restaurant’s all-you-can-eat brunch buffet. “We threw out a lot of food,” she said.

But a few months ago Ms. Godinez signed up to use an app called Too Good To Go. Now, 10 customers pick up “surprise bags” of her leftovers for $5.99 each, and she sends far fewer leftovers to the landfill.

Too Good To Go has tried to gamify (游戏化) buying leftover food. In the United States, customers in 12 cities can browse restaurants and stores, then reserve “surprise bags” that typically cost about $4 to $6 and contain food that would have been originally priced at roughly three times that amount. The bags can be picked up at a certain time window.

Around the country, apps that connect customers to businesses with leftover food have begun to spread. The concept is simple: Restaurants and grocery stores throw away huge amounts of food every day. Rather than trash it, apps like Too Good To Go and Flashfood help businesses sell it at a reduced price. They claim that the businesses and buyers are helping the environment because the food would otherwise become food waste, a big contributor to climate change.

Food production itself is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for between a quarter and a third of global emissions. Each step of the process — growing, harvesting, moving, processing, packaging, storing and preparing food — releases carbon dioxide, methane(甲烷) and other planet-warming gases. When the food is wasted, so are all those emissions. In addition, once unused food reaches landfills, it breaks down and releases more methane.

According to interviews with several companies selling on Too Good To Go, at least a few items for sale there aren’t necessarily what buyers might think of as “food waste.” A beverage (饮料)company owner George White said he not only used the app to sell discontinued products, but also sold new flavors there in hopes of attracting new customers.

28．Why did Ms. Godinez use Too Good To Go?

A．To advertise her delicate dishes.

B．To reduce customers’ complaints.

C．To provide a range of recipes.

D．To avoid wasting leftover buffet.

29．What can Too Good To Go’s users do?

A．They can watch the live stream.   

B．They can order whatever they want. 

C．They can pick a “surprise” food bargain. 

D．They can deliver less trash to landfill.

30．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．The steps of processing food contribute much to the planet.

B．Food production is closely related to green gas emission.

C．Global warming will be worsened by using the app.

D．Unused food will take years to break down.

31．What can be inferred from George White’s words?

A．He is taking advantage of the app to make more profits. 

B．He doesn’t think selling food waste on the app is necessary.

C．He thinks the app is an environmentally-friendly game.

D．He can’t help picking a lot of “surprise bags” himself.

D

Interest in sleep tourism is increasing, with a number of establishments focusing their attention on those suffering from sleep disorder.

Over the past 12 months, Park Hyatt New York has opened the Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite, a 900-square-foot suite filled with sleep-enhancing amenities (便利设施), while Rosewood Hotels Resorts recently launched a collection of retreats called the Alchemy of Sleep, which are designed to “promote rest”, and Swedish manufacturer Hastens established the world’s first Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel, a 15-room boutique hotel a year later.

Dr Rebecca Robbins, a sleep researcher and co-author of the book Sleep for Success! believes this shift has been around for a long time, particularly with regards to hotels. “When it comes down to it, travelers book hotels for a place to sleep,” she says, before pointing out that in the past the hotel industry has primarily been focused on things that actually detract from sleep. “People often associate travel with luxury meals, the attractions and the things they do while they’re traveling, really almost at the cost of sleep.” she adds.

According to Dr Robbins, travel experiences centering around “healthy sleep strategies” that aim to supply guests with the tools they need to improve their sleep can be hugely beneficial, if an excellent medical or scientific expert is involved in some way to help to determine whether there may be something else at play.

Mandarin Oriental in Geneva has taken things a step further by teaming up with CENAS, a private medical sleeping clinic in Switzerland, to create a three-day program that studies guests’ sleeping patterns in order to identify potential sleeping disorders, giving professional suggestions if necessary.

As sleep tourism continues to grow, Dr Robbins says she’s looking forward to seeing “who really continues to pioneer and think creatively about this space”, stressing that there are countless means that haven’t been fully explored yet when it comes to travel and the science of sleep.

32．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?

A．To list the consequences of sleep disorder.

B．To provide evidence for the rise of sleep tourism.

C．To highlight the importance of quality sleep.

D．To prove the popularity of some hotels.

33．What does the underlined phrase “detract from” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Reduce.  B．Benefit.  C．Measure.  D．Analyze.

34．What is special about Mandarin Oriental in Geneva?

A．It sets up a private medical sleeping clinic in its hotel.

B．It offers professionally medical help in sleeping problems.

C．It provides special tour route for people with sleeping disorders.

D．It suggests some good and scientific sleeping bedding.

35．What does Dr Robbins probably think of the sleep tourism?

A．It needs to be systematized.  B．It meets some doubts.

C．It is facing bottleneck.   D．It’s promising.

第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do you want to raise mentally strong kids? Stop doing the following things.

Ignoring your child’s feelings

You’re implying that your children’s feelings are wrong, when you say “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal.”     36    . And the key to living their best life is about managing emotions. A healthier message is to say “I know you feel scared right now, but I also know you’re strong enough to face your fears.”

    37   

It’s easy to give in when your children are losing their tempers. But each time you give them what they want, you teach your children that their unacceptable acts are an effective way to get their needs met. If you want to raise mentally strong kids, stick to your limits.

Spoiling Your Children

    38    . But there’s a lot of research that shows just how unhealthy over-protection is for kids. If they always get everything they want, they miss out on learning valuable life skills like self-discipline.     39    . Let them know what it’s like to experience disappointment, and teach them how to work for things they want to have.

Expecting Perfection

While high expectations are good for kids, setting the goal too high is likely to get the opposite effect. Whether you expect too much from your child on the sports field, or your academic expectations are unreasonable, kids who feel they can’t succeed are likely to stop trying.    40    .

A．Giving in to misbehavior

B．Keeping to your principles

C．Teach them not to give up dreams easily

D．Kids tend to have a wide variety of emotions

E．Therefore, set limits on what you give your children

F．You may think it’s cute to spend more money on your children

G．They are also more likely to struggle with self- confidence issues

I have been in love with Yoga for many years. The practice of Yoga can lead to a____41____ between mind and body. In the training, there is a ____42____ motion that has been one of my favorite poses. Each time I participate in this practice, I feel a deep sense of ____43____ with all those in the group.

Instead of standing alone, the class stands in a ____44____ close enough for us to hold hands. Each of us gives and ____45____ trust and support from one to another. As a unit we shift our ____46____ to one foot, resting the other foot against our ankle or our leg muscle. Slowly we ____47____ the hand position so that we are palm to palm. Then, we ____48____ our arms and create a crown (王冠) of hands above our heads.

A slight ____49____ may start if we fail to stand firmly, but soon we realize we have the ____50____ of each person in the circle, trusting them to protect us from ____51____. We feel a sense of safety, closing our eyes knowing we are ____52____. In time we return to standing on two feet before shifting to ____53____ on the other foot.

As we finish, there is a moment of silence for each of us to stand alone and ____54____ absorb the love and support we have received. This is why I like the pose most. Balance with support ____55____ making standing together strong in community. So much better than standing alone.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

In the past few months, A.I.-based image generators (图片生成器) like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion    56    (make) it possible for anyone to create unique, realistic images just by typing a few words into a text box. These apps, though new, are already    57    (surprising) popular. It’s still too early    58    (tell) whether this new wave of apps will lead to    59      (cost) artists and illustrators their jobs.    60    seems clear, though, is that these tools    61     (put) to use in some industries now. Sarah Drummond,     62    service designer in London, started using A.I.-generated images a few months ago to replace the black-and-white sketches she did for her job. She acknowledged that A.I. image generators had    63    (limitation). For example, they aren’t good at more complex sketches    64    creating multiple images with the same character. And like the other    65    (create) professionals, she said she didn’t think AI designers would replace human illustrators completely.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Julia always enjoyed running through The Dark Walk towards the light at the end of it. It was a dark, damp tunnel made of smooth branches. This year she had the extra joy of showing it to her small brother, Stephen, and terrifying him as well as herself.

One day they found a hole on one side of the walk. Inside there was water, in which they saw a panting trout (喘息的鳟鱼). They were both so excited that they were no longer afraid of the darkness as they bent down and observed the fish panting in his tiny prison, his silver stomach going up and down like an engine; otherwise he was motionless. Julia wondered what he ate and thought of his hunger. She found him a worm. He ignored the food, and just went on panting. Bending over him, she thought how he had been in there, all the winter, in the dark tunnel, all day, all night, floating around alone.

Nobody knew how the fish got there. Her mother suggested that a bird had carried the egg. Her father thought that in the winter a small stream might have carried it down there as a baby, and it might have been safe until summer came and the water began to dry up.

Before they went to bed, Stephen asked his mummy the whole story of the trout, not really interested in the actual trout, but in the story which his mum began to make up for him, and Julia, in her bed, presented her back to them and read her book. But she kept one ear cocked (竖着). “And so, in the end, this naughty fish got bigger and bigger, and the water got smaller and smaller...” Passionately, she turned around and cried, “Mummy, don’t make it a horrible old moral story.” Her mom even brought in a fairy (仙子), who had made it rain and filled the hole, so that the trout could float away down to the river below. Staring at the moon she knew there was no such thing as a fairy and that trout, down in the tunnel, was panting for his life.
