As part f suthern Califrnia’s Angeles Natinal Frest, Eatn Canyn can see quite a bit f daily ft traffic. On ne particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hurs picking up litter and came away with ver 1,000 punds f rubbish. Rain r shine, Edgar headed ver t carry ut his task.

I’ve bught many things withut thinking t much in my life, but the first ne that I fund uneasy was a pair f Nike VaprMax shes. It was in July 2018, and I was mindlessly tapping thrugh Instagram updates while waiting fr friends. That’s where I saw the advertisement fr the shes.
The rder tk maybe 15 secnds. Almst as sn as I’d paid, I quickly shk ff the excitement that had briefly vertaken me, $190 prer but with ne pair f shes n their way t my apartment. I had cmpleted sme versin f the nline checkut prcess a millin times befre, but never culd I remember it being quite s thughtless.
That experience wasn’t the result f any just-t-the-market technlgy. Instead, a handful f small changes t nline shpping had grwn int smething meaningful: Advertisers were cllecting stres f persnal infrmatin with which t target their advertising. Retailers (零售商) were ffering free shipping and free returns n everything — buy nw, decide later. The widespread use f nline payment shrtcuts such as Apple Pay was making it unnecessary t create a new accunt. “Buy nw, pay later” services were beginning t appear at mre retailers t sften the blw f spending.
In the cnsumer system, frictin refers t anything that slws dwn a ptential buyer n the path tward cmpleting a buying jurney. Abut 70 percent f nline shpping carts (购物车) are left unfinished withut a sale, which suggests that ptential buyers can easily derail their plans t buy. Smetimes, the realizatin that yu’ll need t get up and get yur wallet is enugh t prevent yu frm ending up with a new T-shirt.
When buying smething feels like making a real chice, yu have mre pprtunities t slw dwn and cnsider whether it might be the wrng ne. Even with the smthest shpping experience, there’s still the risk f waste, f future incnvenience, f mney lst in the fine print. Frictinless shpping might be cnvenient, in a sense, but it’s a bad system fr making gd decisins.
8. What happened after the authr paid fr the pair f Nike shes?
A. He felt a bit regretful.
B. He decided t live a healthy life.
C. He became very picky abut shes.
D. He shared his excitement with his friends.
9. What aspect f nline shpping is mainly stressed in paragraph 3?
A. Its variety.B. Its cnvenience.
C. Its persnalizatin.D. Its cmpetitive pricing.
10 What des the underlined wrd “derail” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Make.B. Shw.C. Discuss.D. Stp.
11. What advice des the authr prbably give in the last paragraph?
A. Shp nline t save time.B. Only shp nline fr future use.
C. Save mney by shpping nline.D. Think twice befre shpping nline.

Last week, United Natins Secretary-General Antóni Guterres cined a new term. The time f glbal warming has ended, he annunced, and the time f “glbal biling” has arrived.
Yu can see why he said it. July was the httest mnth n recrd glbally. High temperatures and serius wildfires have swept acrss the Nrthern Hemisphere. Oceanic heatwaves are damaging the wrld’s third-largest cral reef, ff Flrida. And as the levels f greenhuse gases cntinue t increase, it means many even htter summers lie ahead.
But critics have strngly disagreed with the phrase. At ne level, “glbal biling” is clearly an verstatement, but “glbal warming” is nw far t weak a descriptin. Many climate scientists have pushed fr the term “glbal heating” t be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven’t received enugh attentin. That’s because many f us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with ur wn eyes.
But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and related events have struck many cuntries. Australia’s Black Summer brught wildfires that burned an area the size f the United Kingdm. Germany suffered serius flding in 2021. The 2022 fld in Pakistan flded large parts f the cuntry. China has seen bth drughts and flds. Terrible drughts have hit the Hrn f Africa fr many years. India has stpped rice exprts due t damage frm heavy rain.
Critics f climate actin ften cmplain abut what they see as the veruse f “crisis talk”. If everything is a crisis, nthing is a crisis.
When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s nt inviting us t imagine a Hllywd-style disaster. What he’s hping is t make peple listen — and act — nw we can see what climate change lks like.
Are there better phrases t describe this? Pssibly. Take the challenge yurself: can yu think up a brief, crrect phrase t cver wrsening lcal- and reginal-scale (区域级的) drughts, fires, typhns and flds; damage t crps and fd safety; water shrtages; existential threats t cral reefs and lw-lying cmmunities? Yu can see hw hard it is.
12. What made Guterres use the phrase “glbal biling”?
A. The reviews frm critics.
B. The new scientific findings.
C. The present serius situatin.
D. The future curse f climate change.
13. Why did such phrases as “climate crisis” fail t attract ur attentin?
A. Nne f these phrases reflect the truth.
B. Fewer crises have happened in recent years.
C. Many phrases haven’t been mentined publicly.
D. Certain climate disasters haven’t happened t us.
14. What des the authr try t say by using “But that is changing”?
A. But climate crises are wrsening.
B. But several crises will be slved.
C. But peple will face fd shrtages.
D. But peple are taking effective measures.
15. What des the authr think f Guterres’ saying “glbal biling”?
A. It is beynd reality.B. It is just t scare peple.
C. It is reasnably acceptable.D. It is just t cmfrt the public

I’ve bught many things withut thinking t much in my life, but the first ne that I fund uneasy was a pair f Nike VaprMax shes. It was in July 2018, and I was mindlessly tapping thrugh Instagram updates while waiting fr friends. That’s where I saw the advertisement fr the shes.
The rder tk maybe 15 secnds. Almst as sn as I’d paid, I quickly shk ff the excitement that had briefly vertaken me, $190 prer but with ne pair f shes n their way t my apartment. I had cmpleted sme versin f the nline checkut prcess a millin times befre, but never culd I remember it being quite s thughtless.
That experience wasn’t the result f any just-t-the-market technlgy. Instead, a handful f small changes t nline shpping had grwn int smething meaningful: Advertisers were cllecting stres f persnal infrmatin with which t target their advertising. Retailers (零售商) were ffering free shipping and free returns n everything — buy nw, decide later. The widespread use f nline payment shrtcuts such as Apple Pay was making it unnecessary t create a new accunt. “Buy nw, pay later” services were beginning t appear at mre retailers t sften the blw f spending.
In the cnsumer system, frictin refers t anything that slws dwn a ptential buyer n the path tward cmpleting a buying jurney. Abut 70 percent f nline shpping carts (购物车) are left unfinished withut a sale, which suggests that ptential buyers can easily derail their plans t buy. Smetimes, the realizatin that yu’ll need t get up and get yur wallet is enugh t prevent yu frm ending up with a new T-shirt.
When buying smething feels like making a real chice, yu have mre pprtunities t slw dwn and cnsider whether it might be the wrng ne. Even with the smthest shpping experience, there’s still the risk f waste, f future incnvenience, f mney lst in the fine print. Frictinless shpping might be cnvenient, in a sense, but it’s a bad system fr making gd decisins.
8. What happened after the authr paid fr the pair f Nike shes?
A. He felt a bit regretful.
B. He decided t live a healthy life.
C. He became very picky abut shes.
D. He shared his excitement with his friends.
9. What aspect f nline shpping is mainly stressed in paragraph 3?
A. Its variety.B. Its cnvenience.
C. Its persnalizatin.D. Its cmpetitive pricing.
10 What des the underlined wrd “derail” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Make.B. Shw.C. Discuss.D. Stp.
11. What advice des the authr prbably give in the last paragraph?
A. Shp nline t save time.B. Only shp nline fr future use.
C. Save mney by shpping nline.D. Think twice befre shpping nline.

Last week, United Natins Secretary-General Antóni Guterres cined a new term. The time f glbal warming has ended, he annunced, and the time f “glbal biling” has arrived.
Yu can see why he said it. July was the httest mnth n recrd glbally. High temperatures and serius wildfires have swept acrss the Nrthern Hemisphere. Oceanic heatwaves are damaging the wrld’s third-largest cral reef, ff Flrida. And as the levels f greenhuse gases cntinue t increase, it means many even htter summers lie ahead.
But critics have strngly disagreed with the phrase. At ne level, “glbal biling” is clearly an verstatement, but “glbal warming” is nw far t weak a descriptin. Many climate scientists have pushed fr the term “glbal heating” t be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven’t received enugh attentin. That’s because many f us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with ur wn eyes.
But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and related events have struck many cuntries. Australia’s Black Summer brught wildfires that burned an area the size f the United Kingdm. Germany suffered serius flding in 2021. The 2022 fld in Pakistan flded large parts f the cuntry. China has seen bth drughts and flds. Terrible drughts have hit the Hrn f Africa fr many years. India has stpped rice exprts due t damage frm heavy rain.
Critics f climate actin ften cmplain abut what they see as the veruse f “crisis talk”. If everything is a crisis, nthing is a crisis.
When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s nt inviting us t imagine a Hllywd-style disaster. What he’s hping is t make peple listen — and act — nw we can see what climate change lks like.
Are there better phrases t describe this? Pssibly. Take the challenge yurself: can yu think up a brief, crrect phrase t cver wrsening lcal- and reginal-scale (区域级的) drughts, fires, typhns and flds; damage t crps and fd safety; water shrtages; existential threats t cral reefs and lw-lying cmmunities? Yu can see hw hard it is.
12. What made Guterres use the phrase “glbal biling”?
A. The reviews frm critics.
B. The new scientific findings.
C. The present serius situatin.
D. The future curse f climate change.
13. Why did such phrases as “climate crisis” fail t attract ur attentin?
A. Nne f these phrases reflect the truth.
B. Fewer crises have happened in recent years.
C. Many phrases haven’t been mentined publicly.
D. Certain climate disasters haven’t happened t us.
14. What des the authr try t say by using “But that is changing”?
A. But climate crises are wrsening.
B. But several crises will be slved.
C. But peple will face fd shrtages.
D. But peple are taking effective measures.
15. What des the authr think f Guterres’ saying “glbal biling”?
A. It is beynd reality.B. It is just t scare peple.
C. It is reasnably acceptable.D. It is just t cmfrt the public
