Winter is coming. The temperatures are about to    31    in most cities in China. Many people in northern areas have put on their    32   winter clothes to get rid of the cold, including Qiuku, also called long underwear in English.

Long underwear is a style of two-piece underwear with long legs and sleeves usually worn during cold weather. Because of its pronunciation in Chinese, people call it “chill cool”. When it gets colder in autumn, wearing one pair of trousers is not    33   , so people will wear another pair of close-fitting (紧身的) trousers under the outside one. But young people in China believe only grandmothers wear long underwear and    34    to wear it.

Most people think long underwear was invented in China. It was    35    introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Hundreds of years ago in England, the fashion of long underwear began. In the 16th century, tight wool breeches (羊毛马裤) with pointed (尖的) shoes became    36   . Even King Henry VIII liked to wear them. Lots of people tried to follow the fashion.

In 1915, Canadian Frank Stanfield applied for a patent (专利) on long underwear. It    37   became popular products for ordinary people.

In recent years, people have    38    views on whether to wear long underwear or not. They have their own reasons and try to make others believe them. But they appear to realize the importance of long underwear, as it can keep warm and free of illness.

Imagine your home is in the center of a big circle. Everything you need is a 10-minute walk away. How    53   !

Recently, a group of architects decided to make this a reality. They are planning a city with everything people need - including living areas, study rooms, offices and entertainment areas

   54    a 10-minute walk from home.

When explaining the aim of the city, Ben van Berkel, co-founder of Design Company, said people’s daily life experience is the most important. The “10-minute city” can save time we usually use to    55    elsewhere. “With time that is saved, more time is created,” Berkel said.

The idea of such a city is not new. In 2016, a researcher called Carlos Moreno put forward the “15-minute city” idea. And it has become more popular nowadays since many people have been forced to spend most of their time at home, with almost no    56    to go out of their neighbourhood.

But not everyone likes the idea. Paloma Ezzet, 16, is an    57    . She said that in the past, she liked to play soccer or go dancing. But during a period of time, she had to give them up because no such entertainment areas or facilities were in her neighbourhood. “It is lonely and frustrating,” Ezzet said. Some people say it would further concentrate wealth in the most popular areas,    58    high house prices.

So, with such risk, should people stop considering this idea? Maybe not. As Bobulescu said, “The seeds are there, and they’ll grow little by little?”

53. A) convenient   B) important   C) powerful   D) satisfying

54. A) for     B) within    C) over    D) during

55. A) solve    B) enjoy    C) travel    D) collect

56. A) fun    B) interest   C) patience   D) chance

57. A) example   B) audience   C) inventor   D) engineer

58. A) turning out   B) standing for  C) focusing on   D) leading to

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)（14分）

Many years ago, I visited Thailand. One evening I went to a little market. There was a small boy selling T-shirts in the market. He couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 years old, but he was a good little salesman. He was talking q   59   in Thai to two local persons when I arrived. And they both bought a T-shirt. Then there was a Japanese visitor in front of me, and the little boy began to talk in Japanese. Although he didn't speak Japanese very well, he was able to say a few words — e   60   to get another sale. When I came up, he saw my white face and immediately switched to English.

“Hello, Sir, how are you? Do you like T-shirts? ”And within just a few m   61  , he had persuaded(说服)me to buy five T-shirts. He was flexible (灵活的)— he could jump from one language to another to m   62   the customers from different countries. And even if he only knew a few words, he was so flexible that he could use his body languages to make customers understand the r   63   of the meaning!

Selling a T-shirt meant getting money and that was a good thing. He made mistakes in his communication, but he didn’t l   64   anything by making some mistakes. Actually, it was a good chance to improve his language skills. He was in a good state. He clearly enjoyed selling those T-shirts and his face was wearing a b   65   smile all the time. It was work but he enjoyed it—he was relaxed and focused.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题)  （12分）

I have too much stuff. My bedroom is often very messy. I have many books I never read and CDs I don’t listen to. My drawers are full of clothes I never wear. I was getting disappointed because I never had any space in my bedroom.

Then I read about minimalism (极简主义). Minimalism is a style of living where you only keep the most important items and you keep off everything else. After reading about minimalism, I felt encouraged to solve my problem.

Minimalism advises that you only keep the necessaries for living, so I started clearing out the things I didn’t use. I collected bags of clothes to give to charities. I sold some of my CDs and books online. After a while of clearing, it became quite exciting to get things out of my room and create some fresh space. They say that a clear, organized bedroom means you will have a clear and organized mind!

The main idea behind minimalism is to reduce what you own, and by doing this you can really appreciate the things you have. It’s not easy to live this lifestyle. We are often told that it is better to have more things. Advertisements try to convince (使确信) us that we will only be happy by spending more money buying more stuff.

Of course, I’m not a perfect minimalist – I’ve only just started. I still own a lot of things which I don’t really need, but I think this was a positive (积极的) start to own less stuff.  In the future, I will           83          .
