One day, the farmer forgot to take the rope(绳子) that he used to tie the donkey every day. When he reached the tree, he thought, “How do I tie this donkey today? It might run away if I sleep.” A wise(智慧的) man saw that and said, “Take the donkey to the place where you tie it every day. Pretend(假装) to tie it using an imaginary rope. It won’t run away.”

The farmer did what the wise man had said. He left the donkey and went to take a break. When he woke up, to his surprise, he found the donkey standing at the same place. Soon the farmer prepared to leave for home. But the donkey did not move. “What is wrong with this donkey?” the farmer said in puzzlement(迷惑的). Luckily, the farmer saw the wise man again.

Do you ever worry that you might waste food? During the COVID-19, many people around the world were going hungry. But people thought of special ways to try and help. One of these was to put fridges filled with food outside for people in need. This action was very popular in the US and now there are community(社区) fridges around the world.

However, this activity started before the COVID-19. Back in 2016, a restaurant owner in Kochi, India, had the idea late one night when she saw a lady looking for food in a trashcan(垃圾桶). She was really sad because that night, her restaurant had made lots of food. If she saw the lady a little earlier, she could give some to her.

In the UK, the idea of community fridges was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste and hunger, expecting people to give away and also take unwanted food. Some UK supermarkets and restaurants like Marks & Spencer and Greggs have helped.

Now there is a large activity in the UK giving people chances(机会) to use the community fridges. The charity(慈善组织), Hubbub, has worked with the Community Fridge Network to help to be in control of community fridges across the UK. Now there are over 300 fridges in the UK. Hubbub has worked with Co-op(合作社) to make 500 fridges available by the end of 2023.

“A fridge is much more than a fridge,” said Hubbub’s official(官方的) website. “The fridges bring people together and give people chances to get healthy food, try something new and save money.”

31. Why do people put fridges filled with food outside?

 A. To help stop hunger.

 B. To fight against the COVID-19.

 C. To tell people the importance of saving food.

32. From Paragraph 2, we can infer(推断) that _______.

 A. the lady looking for food was homeless

 B. the restaurant owner must be very kind

 C. people didn’t have this activity until the COVTD-19

33. Which of the following is TRUE?

 A. Hubbub will make 500 fridges alone by the end of 2023.

 B. Hubbub makes it possible for people to use the community fridges.

 C. Few UK supermarkets and restaurants help with community fridges.

34. Hubbub’s official website thinks the idea of community fridge is _______.

 A. new but useless B. smart and interesting C. meaningful and creative

35. What’s the best title of the passage?

 A. Charities bring people closer.

 B. Communities help people live a healthier life.

 C. Community fridges fight against food waste and hunger.

第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。

When you learned the word “café”, did you wonder why the letter “e” was wearing a “hat”?

36. __________________

It’s clear that in the English language, “café” is not the only word borrowed from the French language. In English, you may say, “37. __________________” This means, to you, what is happening right now has seemed to happen before in the same way. And have you ever stayed in a hotel, read a “menu” or watched “television”? These words are all from the French language.

38. _________________ Have you ever mistaken “kindergarten”(幼儿园) as “kindergarden”? Well, that is because “kindergarten” is from the German(德国的) language, and garten is the German word for “garden”. By the way, if you have heard of the German city Hamburg, you can easily think of the word “hamburger”. 39. __________________

Some words also come from many other countries. Do you know “cookie” comes from the Dutch(荷兰的) language?

40. __________________ We must learn it well!

The hot pot(火锅) is one of the most popular meals in China. It has a long history of about 2,000 years. It used to be eaten in winter, but now it appears on tables all year round.

Apart from(除...之外) its delicious taste, there are two other important reasons for the Chinese to like the hot pot. The first one is that the hot pot is a great way to make new friends. People sit around the pot, talking, eating, drinking and having fun. The other is that the hot pot is a “healthy meal”. Eating the hot pot can warm the body and improve the blood movement in winter.

There are several kinds of hot pots in China with different soup. Two of the most popular hot pots are Sichuan hot pot and Beijing mutton hot pot.

Sichuan hot pot is famous for its numbing and spicy(又麻又辣的) taste because of Sichuan pepper. As for Beijing mutton hot pot, mutton is its main part.

When you eat a hot pot in a restaurant, there are usually two kinds of soup base(锅底): clear and spicy. A clear soup base has a quite mild(温和的) taste, which is made from seafood or meat bones. A spicy soup base usually has Sichuan pepper, which is spicy and salty.

If you have a mixed group, a double-flavor hot pot(鸳鸯锅) is a must. It has a clear soup base on one side, a spicy soup base on the other and a divider in the middle.

41. When did the hot pot appear in Chinese history?

42. How many reasons are mentioned(提到) for the Chinese to like the hot pot?

43. What kinds of hot pots do Chinese people love most?

44. Why is Sichuan hot pot so numbing and spicy?
