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.

4．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.

5．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.

6．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.

7．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.

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.

8．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.

9．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.

10．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.

11．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.

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.

12．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.

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

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

14．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.

15．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.

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.” ___16___. And the key to living their best life is about managing emotions.

六、读后续写

47．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(隧道)made of smooth branches. This year she had the extra joy of showing it to her small brother, Stephen, and of 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 noticed 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 peered at the fish panting in his tiny prison， his silver stoma(气门) 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 had 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. Julia in her bed, presented her back to them(背对着他们)and read her book. But she kept one ear cocked(竖起耳朵). “And so, in the end, the 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 had even brought in a fairy(仙子)，who had made it rain and filled the hole，so that the trout could float away down the river below. Staring at the moon, she knew there was no such thing as a fairy and that the trout, down in the tunnel, was panting for his life.

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。

She sat up in the silent night and Stephen was sound asleep.

47．参考范文

She sat up in the silent night and Stephen was sound asleep. She got out of the bedroom and ran to the poor trout with a pot. Although she was scared in the darkness, a sense of responsibility welled up in her heart. “Never can the small hole be your prison.” She murmured to the panting creature, “but how can I rescue you from the deep hole?" Suddenly, it dawned on her that maybe she could fill the hole with water like a fairy. Next three hours witnessed Julia’s effort in filling the hole with the water fetched from the river nearby. Finally, she grasped it, put it into the pot and raced out to the river.

Julia poured the trout out of the pot into the river. Staring at the disappearing trout, Julia was in great joy, a wave of happiness flooding over her. Without any delay, she charged back home like an arrow(箭)and announced the news to the whole family. Having confirmed what she had done,her parents gave a thumbs up(竖起大拇指)to praise her. “You must be the very fairy” yelled Stephen,his eyes twinkling like a diamond. The bright smile from everyone lit up The Dark Walk. Hadn’t it been for Julia’s bravery and Mom’s weird(离奇的，怪诞的)story, the trout couldn’t have run through the dark hole towards the light river.
