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.

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.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Julia poured the trout out of the pot into the river.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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.(Too Good To Go试图将购买剩饭游戏化。在美国，12个城市的顾客可以浏览餐馆和商店，然后预定“惊喜袋”，这些袋子的价格通常在4到6美元左右，里面的食物原本的价格大约是这个价格的三倍)”可知，Too Good To Go的用户可以选择一个“惊喜”的便宜货。故选C。
10．主旨大意题。根据第五段“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.(粮食生产本身就是温室气体排放的主要来源，占全球排放量的四分之一到三分之一。整个过程的每一步——种植、收获、移动、加工、包装、储存和准备食物——都会释放二氧化碳、甲烷和其他导致地球变暖的气体。当食物被浪费时，所有的排放物也都被浪费了。此外，一旦未使用的食物到达垃圾填埋场，它就会分解并释放更多的甲烷)”可知，第5段的主要内容是粮食生产与绿色气体排放密切相关。故选B。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(一家饮料公司的老板George White说，他不仅用这款应用销售已停产的产品，还在那里销售新口味的产品，希望能吸引新客户)”可推知，George White正在利用这个应用程序赚取更多利润。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲了人们对睡眠旅游的兴趣日益浓厚，许多旅游机构将注意力集中在那些患有睡眠障碍的人身上。
12．推理判断题。 根据第二段“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. (在过去的12个月里，纽约柏悦酒店开设了占地900平方英尺的Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite，里面充满了促进睡眠的设施，而瑰丽酒店最近推出了一系列名为Alchemy of Sleep的度假酒店，旨在“促进休息”。一年后，瑞典制造商Hastens成立了世界上第一家Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel，拥有15间客房。)”可知，第二段的主要目的是证明了睡眠旅游的兴起，故选B。
13．词句猜测题。 根据划线单词下文““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. (她补充说：“人们经常把旅行与奢华的饮食、景点和旅行中所做的事情联系在一起，实际上几乎是以睡眠为代价的。”)”可知，过去人们在旅行时，会减少睡眠时间，在旅游期间做的事都是一牺牲睡眠为代价的，结合画线短语所在句子“in the past the hotel industry has primarily been focused on things that actually detract from sleep (过去，酒店业主要关注的是那些实际上会detract from睡眠的东西。)”可知，过去人们在旅行时，会推迟睡眠时间，在旅游期间做的事都是一牺牲睡眠为代价的，酒店业关注的自然也是那些剥夺睡眠时间的事情，即减少睡眠，由此可推知，画线短语“detract from”意为“减少”，与A项“Reduce”意思一样，故选A。
14．推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段“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. (日内瓦文华东方酒店更进一步，与瑞士私人睡眠医疗诊所CENAS合作，开展了为期三天的项目，研究客人的睡眠模式，以识别潜在的睡眠障碍，并在必要时提供专业建议。)”可知，日内瓦的Mandarin Oriental酒店研究客人的睡眠模式，以确定潜在的睡眠障碍，由此可推知，Mandarin Oriental酒店的特殊之处在于为有睡眠问题的人们提供专业的医疗帮助。故选B。
15．推理判断题。 根据最后一段“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. (随着睡眠旅游的不断发展，罗宾斯博士说，她很期待看到“谁能真正继续在这个领域开拓和创造性地思考”，并强调说，在旅行和睡眠科学方面，还有无数的方法尚未被充分探索。)”可知，Robbins博士期待看到人们能真正开拓和创造性思考睡眠旅游这一领域，由此可推知，Robbins博士认为睡眠旅游是很有前景的，故选D。
16．D 17．A 18．F 19．E 20．G

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要提出了几点想培养心智健全的孩子不应该做的事情。

17．根据下文“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. (当你的孩子发脾气时，你很容易屈服。但每次你给他们想要的东西，你都会教育你的孩子，他们不可接受的行为是满足他们需求的有效途径。如果你想培养心智健全的孩子，就要坚持自己的极限)”可知，这里指出父母向孩子的要求屈服的不当做法。选项A“向不当行为屈服”和下文意思一致。故选A。

(但有很多研究表明，过度保护儿童是多么不健康。如果他们总是得到他们想要的一切，他们就会错过学习自律等宝贵的生活技能)”可知，这里提出过分溺爱孩子是不对的。选项F“你可能认为在孩子身上多花点钱很可爱”和下文意思一致。故选F。
19．根据下文“Let them know what it’s like to experience disappointment, and teach them how to work for things they want to have. (让他们知道经历失望是什么感觉，并教会他们如何为自己想要的东西而努力)”可知，这里指出，当孩子有需求时，不要总是满足他。选项E“因此，限制你给孩子的东西”和下文意思一致。故选E。
20．根据上文“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. (虽然高期望值对孩子有好处，但设定过高的目标可能会产生相反的效果。无论你对孩子在运动场上的期望过高，还是对学业的期望不合理，那些觉得自己无法成功的孩子都可能停止尝试)”可知，这里提出对孩子期望值太高的坏处。选项G“他们也更有可能与自信问题作斗争”和上文意思一致。故选G。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述人工智能的图像生成器受到出奇的欢迎并且在创意产业使用，但很多创意人士认为它还不能取代人类插画师。
36．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的几个月里，基于人工智能的图像生成器，如Midjourney和Stable Diffusion，使任何人都可以通过在文本框中输入几个单词来创建独特的，逼真的图像。由In the past few months可知，此处应用现在完成时，主语A.I.-based image generators是复数，谓语也用复数，因此空格处是have made。故填have made。
37．考查副词。句意：这些应用程序虽然很新，但已经非常受欢迎了。修饰形容popular作状语，应用副词形式surprisingly，意为“惊人地”。故填surprisingly。
38．考查固定句型。句意：现在判断这一新的应用浪潮是否会导致艺术家和插画家失业还为时过早。根据语境可知，句子表示“现在判断这一新的应用浪潮是否会导致艺术家和插画家失业还为时过早”，固定短语too...to...意为“太……而不能……”，因此空格处是不定式to tell。故填to tell。
39．考查动名词。句意：现在判断这一新的应用浪潮是否会导致艺术家和插画家失业还为时过早。to是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故填costing。
40．考查主语从句。句意：不过，有一点似乎很清楚，即这些工具现在正在/已经在某些行业中投入使用。分析句子结构，此处是一个主语从句，且从句中缺主语，指事物，应用what引导，句首单词首字母大写，故填What。
41．考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：不过，有一点似乎很清楚，即这些工具现在正在/已经在某些行业中投入使用。工具是被使用，句子用被动语态，由now可知，句子可表正在进行的动作，也可表已经完成的动作，因此空格处是现在进行时的被动语态或现在完成时的被动语态，主语tools是复数，因此空格处是are being put/have been put。故填are being put/have been put。
42．考查冠词。句意：伦敦的服务设计师Sarah Drummond几个月前开始使用人工智能生成的图像来取代她为工作绘制的黑白草图。根据句意，此处表示“一个设计师”，应用不定冠词，空前service以辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
43．考查名词。句意：她承认，人工智能图像生成器存在局限性。limitation在此处是可数名词，不止一个，因此空格处用复数，故填limitations。
44．考查连词。句意：例如，他们不擅长更复杂的草图或用相同的角色创建多个图像。根据句意“例如，他们不擅长更复杂的草图或用相同的角色创建多个图像”可知，空格处表示“或者”，应用连词or。故填or。
45．考查形容词。句意：和其他创意专业人士一样，她说她不认为人工智能设计师会完全取代人类插画师。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词professionals，create的形容词是creative，故填creative。

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.

②由第二段首句内容“茱莉亚把锅里的鳟鱼倒进河里”可知，第二段可描写作者将鳟鱼放生后，全家人都赞扬她的举动。
