The Moth Cafe deserves praise on at least two fronts—for offering vegan (素食主义者) food that is both interesting and delicious, and for livening up a section of east Jasper Avenue in desperate need of help.

The first accomplishment is no surprise. The family-owned new restaurant brings a new, all plant-based menu (without dairies or eggs), but with the same focus on tasty, inventive food. Its brave location, next to what was once the Chinatown Mall but is now abandoned, gives further hope that this neighborhood is finally coming back to life. A new LRT station is under construction to the west.

The shopping mall that is home to The Moth has become a tiny oasis (绿洲) among these blocks-in-transition. On a recent Saturday night, only a month after opening, The Moth is doing a solid business with a mostly under­30 crowd. Inside, the room is bright and airy, with high ceilings, exposed brick, light wood and touches of greenery.

The food menu isn’t huge, covering a selection of small bites, all-day breakfast, soups and mains. What is huge is the drinks menu. There are coffees and tea available. While there are plans to include beer and wine in the future, the present bar is limited to a variety of gin-and-tonics. There’s also a non­alcoholic bar offering trendy tea in flavors.

In fact, I was impressed with the whole experience at The Moth, though I have yet to figure out the name. Is it an extraordinary superhero thing？A moth-to-flame similarity？But then wouldn’t the cafe be called The Flame, not The Moth？No matter, the family behind the new restaurant continues to do its own unique and special thing in an under­served part of the city, and for that, it deserves support.

4. What does the underlined phrase “livening up” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Setting up.       B. Keeping up.

A. Appreciative.  B. Tolerant.   C. Cautious.  D. Uninterested.

7. What’s the purpose of writing the text?

(2020·新高考Ⅰ卷)According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.

To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which
