European Cities That Are Making Streets Become Car Free

The quality of life in cities would be so much better if they were car-free. So the following European cities are trying to reduce the number of cars in the streets.

● Copenhagen, Denmark

Beginning in the 1960s, Denmark's capital pioneered walker-only zones and the city now has over 321 kilometers of bike routes. Over half of the people in Copenhagen ride bicycles to work. Denmark is building a superhighway of 28 routes for bikes that'll connect the city to its surrounding suburban areas. The first of the routes opened in 2014.

● Hamburg, Germany

The German city is planning on making walking and biking the main forms of transportation by reducing the number of cars allowed in specific areas of the city by 2035. The project calls for a green network of places people can go to without cars, which will cover 40 % of Hamburg. The green network will include parks, playgrounds and sports fields.

● Milan, Italy

In this Italian city, for every day that drivers leave their cars parked at home during working hours, they'll receive a 1.5 Euro ticket reward good for the use of public transportation. The city has buses, subways, trams (有轨电车) to choose from, so it pays to leave the driving to them.

● Paris, France

In 2017， the French capital announced it would ban diesel (柴油) cars by 2024. Cars that run on gas are expected to be removed by 2030. There's already an older car ban from the city center for working hours on weekdays. “If you live in Paris and get rid of your car, you can claim benefits of around $ 700 to buy a bike,” according to Fast Company.

21. What is under construction in Denmark?

A. A bike-sharing system.     B. More bike-only zones.

C. A green business network.    D. A superhighway for bikes.

22. Which city rewards people to take public transportation?

A. Copenhagen, Denmark.     B. Hamburg, Germany.

C. Milan, Italy.       D. Paris, France.

23. What's the deadline of removing all the cars that run on traditional energy by Paris?

A.2017.     B.2024.     C.2030.     D.2035.

21 Spoons is a restaurant aimed at bringing back the appeal of intimate (亲密的) dining. “This restaurant kind of fell into my lap,” says chef and owner Ann Butler, “I own the cooking school next door to it, and this space was empty for quite some time, and it seemed to be saying, ‘Do you want me?’”

After working in Fairfax and Chesterfield public schools, Butler started her cooking school, Edible Education, 12 years ago, hoping to change the dietary habits of kids.

The occurrence of the pandemic halted Butler's cooking classes, as students were unable to attend in person. "We didn't have any kids taking classes," she says. "I didn't know how long it'd be before we saw students again, so I thought, we got to do something." So, Butler opened 21 Spoons in March of 2021, focused on small plates and shared bites from ratatouille flatbread to deep-fried deviled eggs.

"I took it over at a time when everyone was closing their restaurants in Richmond," Butler says. This allowed her to start her new business in a way that made people feel more at ease during such a stressful time. Butler says the service and size of the restaurant-24seatsare what make people feel more comfortable and what allow them to open during the pandemic. “We opened during a time when everyone was scared, so we wanted to build a space where you could come and rest, back to old-school, old-fashioned service.”

Butler says the architectural plat (建筑区) for the space was unit 20. “I saw somewhere that a chef has 39 spoons,” she says, “and it was unit 20, so I thought, ‘How about 21Spoons?’ since we opened in 2021.”

While Butler says there'll be no 22 Spoons, she describes 21 Spoons as a “creative gift”, allowing her to combine passions and build something beautiful for the community.

24. What does the underlined word “halted” mean in paragraph 3?

A. Stopped.     B. Improved.      C. Added.     D. Reduced.

25. Which word best describes the atmosphere of eating in 21 Spoons?

A. Amazing.     B. Inspiring.      C. Relaxing.     D. Touching.

26. Why is unit 20 mentioned in the text?

A. It is where the restaurant is currently located.

B. It started Butler's passion for the food industry.

C. It is associated with the menu of the restaurant.

D. It offered inspiration for naming the restaurant.

27. In which section of a website can we probably read the text?

A. History and education.   B. Food and drink.  C. Art and music.   D. Shopping and style.

D

Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist.

In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image, titled Théatre D'opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示).

Allen's winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It's one of three such images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney's Discord server on August 25, along with pictures of his three entries; it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen's win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one Twitter user wrote. “We're watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.”

However, to get the final three images he entered in the competition, Allen said, he took over 80 hours. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets. Over time, with slight adjustments to his written prompts, he created 9oo repeating processes of what led to his final three images. He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop. Then he ran the images through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution (分辨率) and had the images printed at a local print shop.

Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention. “Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize it's a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said.

28.What do we know about Theatre D'opera Spatial?

A. Its beauty is widely accepted.   B. Its creation is an easy process.

C. It shows the death of traditional art.  D. It has caused a lot of arguments.

29.What did Allen do to create his entries?

A. He searched for smart written prompts.  B. He edited his final images in Photoshop.

C. He fed Midjourney with famous paintings. D. He developed the software named Gigapixel.

30.What is Allen's attitude to the debate over Al-created art?

A. Worried.   B. Uncaring.   C. Positive.   D. Annoyed.

31.What might be the best title for the text?

A.AI Beats Out Human Artists in the Art Field   B.AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Are Angry

C. An Artist Wins State Fair Art Contest and Laughs  D. The Artist From Pueblo West Is Defending His Work.

D

As temperatures rise to record levels and wildfires happen around the world, the need to meet net zero targets has never been more urgent. At the same time, increasing climate resilience (适应力) across food systems will be needed to fight rising hunger, according to UN General Assembly President Abdulla Shahid.

Agrivoltaic farming (光伏农业), which uses the shaded space under solar panels (太阳能电池板) to grow crops, could be a way out. In the system, solar panels have to sometimes be lifted or suspended to allow plants to grow beneath them. Another option is putting them on the roofs of greenhouses. This allows enough light and rainwater to reach the crops and provides access for farm machinery.

Certain crops appear to grow well when grown in such environments, according to many recent studies. Researchers in South Korea have been growing a kind of vegetable underneath solar panels. The panels are positioned 2~3 metres off the ground and sit at an angle of 30 degrees, providing shade and offering crops protection from the sun. The researchers, from Chonnam National University, discovered that the vegetable produced was a deeper shade of green, thus attracting many consumers.

Elsewhere, Agrivoltaic systems in East Africa are allowing farmers to make better use of land. An Agrivoltaic farming project in Kenya is using solar panels held several metres off the ground, with gaps in between them. The shade from the panels protects vegetables from heat stress and water loss. This has resulted in rural farmers being able to grow a greater range of higher-value crops. The project effectively harvests the power of the sun twice, the researchers say.

Overall, Agrivoltaic farming is one way of using the same area of land to produce more food while also rolling out more sources of renewable energy. According to Brite Solar CEO Dr. Nick Kanopoulos, who is a highly skilled solar energy expert, it's a new way of farming—one that is fully electric, runs on renewable resources, and is capable of producing the food we need to feed the future.

32.What is the second paragraph intended to introduce about Agrivoltaic farming?

A. How it is built.   B. How it is accepted.   C. How it is spread.   D. How it is developed.

33.What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Crops.    B. Plants.     C. Solar panels.     D. Roofs.

34.What is the advantage of Agrivoltaic farming over traditional farming?

A. It uses land more efficiently.     B. It saves money on labor costs.

C. It can reduce wildfire risks.     D. It is easily managed.

35.What does the author refer to when evaluating Agrivoltaic farming?

A.A common belief.      B. An expert's opinion. 

C.A conclusion of previous research.   D. An organization's announcement.

Develop Positive Relationships One of the most profound experiences we can have in our lives is the connection we have with other human beings. Positive and supportive relationships will help us to feel healthier, happier, and more satisfied with our lives.    36  

● Accept and celebrate differences.

   37    Yet when we try to build relationships, we expect that people will think like we do. In this way, it is so much easier to create a friendly relationship. However, while we may find it initially (开始，最初) easier, the novelty of sameness soon would wear off. So accepting that we are all different is a great starting point.

● Listen effectively.

Listening is a crucial skill in boosting another person's self-esteem.    38    In active listening, we are also genuinely interested in understanding what the other person is thinking, feeling, wanting, or what the message means, and we are active in checking out our understanding before we respond with our own new message. This process is what distinguishes active listening and makes it effective.

●    39  

In a world where time is of the essence, we don't always have the time to give to our loved ones. Being present in the time you give to people is important. In other words, when you are with someone, you are truly with someone and not living in the past or worrying about the future. Devoting time, energy, and effort to building relationships is one of the most valuable life skills.

● Manage mobile technology.

By now, everyone has a mobile phone and many people have two or more. While they are a lifesaver in an emergency and an effective tool for communication, they also can be a complete distraction when people exhibit a lack of mobile phone etiquette (礼仪).     40  

A. Give people your time.

B. We can perceive the world variously.

C. Active listening is the most useful listening skill.

D. Take time to develop your communication skills.

E. So here are some tips to help you develop more positive relationships.

F. Pay attention to who you are with and answer the phone when necessary.

G. So mobile phones have somewhat weakened our ability to build a good relationship.

Curious About Everything

Jackson did not feel good so he stayed at home from school today. He did not like to be sick. It was no fun at all. He got out of his bed and walked into his brother's bedroom. Carter, his brother, loved cars. He had them all over his room. Jackson touched one of the black tires. He wished Carter was home. Carter liked to talk about the model cars as he was putting them together.

Jackson left Carter's room and walked down the hall to the room his twin sisters shared. Ella liked wearing pretty clothes and Madison liked riding her horse. Ella decorated the wall behind her bed with pictures of girls in fancy clothes. A big poster of a horse was on the wall behind Madison's bed. Jackson turned and walked back out of the room.

He walked back down the hall and into his little sister's room. Sophie was the youngest kid in the family. She loved to dance and you could sure tell that from looking at her room. A big poster of a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) was over the dresser. She was wearing a funny pink outfit with a special skirt. Sophie told him what the dress was called, but he couldn't remember right now.

As he stood there, trying to remember what it was called, he realized all of his brother and sisters' rooms looked like the things they loved. Carter had cars in his room, Ella fashion, Madison horses, and Sophie ballet. Jackson wondered what his room said about him. He walked back down the hall and stood in the doorway of his room.

His bed was a mess. There was a racetrack on his floor, a plastic hat that was part of a magic trick set he got for his birthday, and a couple of plastic dinosaurs lying on their sides. Some clean clothes were stacked (堆放) on his dresser. His walls were bare. No posters of any kind.

“Are you feeling better?” his mom asked as she walked into the room.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
