In China, people call a man of great virtue a gentleman. In the world of flowers, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums are known as the four gentlemen in China because these plants’ natural characters have something in common with human virtues.

Mu Sa, a livestream host from Zhongning, Ningxia, demonstrates how the Internet has transformed many young unemployed people into useful talents contributing to society.
After graduating from university. Mu worked as an office clerk in Shanghai, a marketing assistant in Beijing and a data analyst in Hangzhou. Each time he struggled to realize his dream in big cities. However, Mu found that what touched him most was the strong feeling of homesickness. Mu returned home to seek chances.
Depressed, Mu thought of himself a “failure” at first. However, he was not deterred by his difficulties and quickly lifted himself up.

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on the environment and human health. Though chemical farming is used by over 90 per cent of the world’s farmers, the wide range of damage it has caused to the environment and human health makes it a bad choice. Organic farming, on the other hand, aims to improve food quality, reduce farming’s environmental impact and promote consumers’ health. It is therefore the option that farmers may choose.
Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.
Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic ingredients, such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large-companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria, such as E. coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the passage?
A. Chemical farming is a wise choice now.
B. The environment and human health draw no attention.
C. Organic farming has taken the place of Chemical farming.
D. The positive effects of organic farming contribute to farmers’ favor.
9. What can we know from the passage?
A. Some organic food costs much more than non-organic food.
B. Organic farms consume quantities of agricultural chemicals.
C. It’s never hard for all organic companies to stay in business.
D. Health specialists pay no attention to E. coli and salmonella.
10. How does the author mainly develop Paragraph 5?
A. By following time order. B. By providing some examples.
C. By showing cause and effect. D. By comparing opinions.
11. What is consumers’ major concern about the organic food?
A. Price. B. Safety. C. Freshness. D. Nutrition.
D
Be honest: how often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that TikTok made you buy did you actually need? Enter de-influencing, the TikTok trend flipping (颠覆) influencing on its head — and aiming to save our bank balances in the process.
De-influencing is the TikTok trend with hundreds of millions of views that’s challenging the hype (炒作) around so-called popular products by telling you what you shouldn’t buy, instead of what you should. It’s a response to a few different things, including a general feeling of overconsumption (you don’t need more stuff just because TikTok says you do) and the cost of living crisis.
It sounds progressive, but once you scratch the surface, there isn’t a huge difference between influencing and de-influencing. “De-influencing is a bit of a false product,” says Kendall. “It’s still influence but it’s telling people what not to buy.”While TikTokers may be warning consumers away from expensive or well-known products, some continue to influence by telling consumers what they should buy instead. For example, buying a heated roller set on Amazon over the Dyson Airwrap — this is still suggesting products with sweeping promises.
Ironically speaking de-influencing is a good strategy for influencers and brands. Rising living costs mean consumers are less likely to spend a huge amount of money on big-ticket items, which means the influencers promoting them are less likely to generate income. Turning to promoting cheaper products plays into the so-called “Lipstick Effect,” where people treat themselves to little luxuries, instead of addictions, during times of economic uncertainty.
What is different about de-influencing is encouraging consumers to take a moment to think about whether they need a product and whether it’s right for them versus whether they’re simply being influenced because it’s new, popular, or exciting. This is part of a bigger movement in beauty. “There is also the reduction of regimens, the ingredient diet, the skin minimalism, and the stripping back of excess linked to sustainability and over-consumption,” says Kendall. “This is a positive approach to marketing.”
12. Why does the author use the questions at the beginning of Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To highlight an opinion.
C To illustrate an argument. D. To predict the ending.
13. As for de-influencing, which would the author agree with?
A. It’s telling people what to buy to challenge the hype.
B. It is a bit of a true product influencing people.
C. It responds to a general feeling of overconsumption.
D. It’s an unwise strategy for influencers and brands.
14. What does de-influencing encourage consumers to do?
A. Get what is popular. B. Purchase a novel product.
C. Increase consumption in beauty. D. Buy only what is needed.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. De-influencing: The Trend Killing Influencer Marketing
B. Brands are all Scared of the De-influencing Trend
C. De-influencing Pushes the Shift to Overconsumption
D. De-influencing: The Trend Putting Truthfulness First

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on the environment and human health. Though chemical farming is used by over 90 per cent of the world’s farmers, the wide range of damage it has caused to the environment and human health makes it a bad choice. Organic farming, on the other hand, aims to improve food quality, reduce farming’s environmental impact and promote consumers’ health. It is therefore the option that farmers may choose.
Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.
Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic ingredients, such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large-companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria, such as E. coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the passage?
A. Chemical farming is a wise choice now.
B. The environment and human health draw no attention.
C. Organic farming has taken the place of Chemical farming.
D. The positive effects of organic farming contribute to farmers’ favor.
9. What can we know from the passage?
A. Some organic food costs much more than non-organic food.
B. Organic farms consume quantities of agricultural chemicals.
C. It’s never hard for all organic companies to stay in business.
D. Health specialists pay no attention to E. coli and salmonella.
10. How does the author mainly develop Paragraph 5?
A. By following time order. B. By providing some examples.
C. By showing cause and effect. D. By comparing opinions.
11. What is consumers’ major concern about the organic food?
A. Price. B. Safety. C. Freshness. D. Nutrition.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有机农业和有机食品的相关情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In recent years, there has been a growing focus on the environment and human health. Though chemical farming is used by over 90 per cent of the world’s farmers, the wide range of damage it has caused to the environment and human health makes it a bad choice. Organic farming, on the other hand, aims to improve food quality, reduce farming’s environmental impact and promote consumers’ health. It is therefore the option that farmers may choose.(近年来,人们越来越关注环境和人类健康。尽管世界上90%以上的农民都在使用化学农业,但它对环境和人类健康造成的广泛损害使其成为一个糟糕的选择。另一方面,有机农业旨在提高食品质量,减少农业对环境的影响,促进消费者的健康。因此,这是农民可能选择的选项)”可知,作者在文章开头描述了有机农业的积极影响使得农民们更倾向于选择有机农业这一现象。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food (有机食品很受欢迎。它也很贵。一些有机食品的价格是非有机食品的两倍)”可知,一些有机食品比非有机食品贵得多。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria, such as E. coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food.(有机食品更有营养吗?这是辩论的一部分。许多农民和消费者都认为是这样。他们认为农用化学品会导致健康问题,比如癌症。许多健康专家不同意这种说法。很少有研究证明有机食品能预防健康问题。健康专家更担心大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌等细菌。它们会接触到有机和非有机食品)”可知,第五段中对比了农民与消费者和健康专家的不同观点。由此推知,作者通过比较观点的方式展开本段。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.(然而,有机食品的消费者认为安全总比后悔好)”可知,消费者主要关心的还是有机食品的安全。故选B项。

Be honest: how often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that TikTok made you buy did you actually need? Enter de-influencing, the TikTok trend flipping (颠覆) influencing on its head — and aiming to save our bank balances in the process.
De-influencing is the TikTok trend with hundreds of millions of views that’s challenging the hype (炒作) around so-called popular products by telling you what you shouldn’t buy, instead of what you should. It’s a response to a few different things, including a general feeling of overconsumption (you don’t need more stuff just because TikTok says you do) and the cost of living crisis.
It sounds progressive, but once you scratch the surface, there isn’t a huge difference between influencing and de-influencing. “De-influencing is a bit of a false product,” says Kendall. “It’s still influence but it’s telling people what not to buy.”While TikTokers may be warning consumers away from expensive or well-known products, some continue to influence by telling consumers what they should buy instead. For example, buying a heated roller set on Amazon over the Dyson Airwrap — this is still suggesting products with sweeping promises.
Ironically speaking, de-influencing is a good strategy for influencers and brands. Rising living costs mean consumers are less likely to spend a huge amount of money on big-ticket items, which means the influencers promoting them are less likely to generate income. Turning to promoting cheaper products plays into the so-called “Lipstick Effect,” where people treat themselves to little luxuries, instead of addictions, during times of economic uncertainty.
What is different about de-influencing is encouraging consumers to take a moment to think about whether they need a product and whether it’s right for them versus whether they’re simply being influenced because it’s new, popular, or exciting. This is part of a bigger movement in beauty. “There is also the reduction of regimens, the ingredient diet, the skin minimalism, and the stripping back of excess linked to sustainability and over-consumption,” says Kendall. “This is a positive approach to marketing.”
12 Why does the author use the questions at the beginning of Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To highlight an opinion.
C. To illustrate an argument. D. To predict the ending.
13. As for de-influencing, which would the author agree with?
A. It’s telling people what to buy to challenge the hype.
B. It is a bit of a true product influencing people.
C. It responds to a general feeling of overconsumption.
D. It’s an unwise strategy for influencers and brands.
14. What does de-influencing encourage consumers to do?
A. Get what is popular. B. Purchase a novel product.
C. Increase consumption in beauty. D. Buy only what is needed.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. De-influencing: The Trend Killing Influencer Marketing
B. Brands are all Scared of the De-influencing Trend
C. De-influencing Pushes the Shift to Overconsumption
D. De-influencing: The Trend Putting Truthfulness First
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,讨论了社交媒体上“去影响”(de-influencing)的趋势。文章探讨了这种趋势如何挑战过度消费,以及它如何影响消费者购买行为和品牌营销策略。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Be honest: how often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that TikTok made you buy did you actually need? Enter de-influencing, the TikTok trend flipping (颠覆) influencing on its head — and aiming to save our bank balances in the process.(诚实地说:你的社交媒体滚动有多频繁导致购物?TikTok让你买的东西中,你真正需要的有多少?进入“去影响”阶段,TikTok的趋势颠覆了它的影响力——目的是在这个过程中挽救我们的银行余额)”可推知,作者通过提问的方式引入了“去影响”这一话题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据三段中的“ “De-influencing is a bit of a false product,” says Kendall. “It’s still influence but it’s telling people what not to buy.”(“去影响力是一种有点虚假的产品,”Kendall说。“它仍然有影响力,但它告诉人们不要买什么。”)”可知,作者认为“去影响”本质上仍然是影响,只是告诉人们不要购买某些产品。由此推知,作者认为去影响是对过度消费的普遍感觉的回应。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“What is different about de-influencing is encouraging consumers to take a moment to think about whether they need a product and whether it’s right for them versus whether they’re simply being influenced because it’s new, popular, or exciting. (“去影响”的不同之处在于鼓励消费者花时间思考他们是否真的需要一个产品,以及它是否适合他们,而不是仅仅因为他们被它新颖、流行或令人兴奋所影响)”可知,“去影响”鼓励消费者思考他们是否真的需要某个产品,而不是仅仅因为产品是新的、流行的或令人兴奋的。由此推知,它鼓励消费者只购买所需的东西。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句话“This is a positive approach to marketing. (这是一种积极的市场营销方法)”以及全文可知,文章讨论了“去影响”趋势如何通过提供真实的产品信息来挑战过度消费,以及这种趋势如何被看作是一种积极的市场营销方法。由此可知,De-influencing: The Trend Putting Truthfulness First(去影响:把真实性放在首位的趋势)适合作本文标题。故选D项。

Every time KiKi saw Tom, it would leap to its feet. wagging his tail and his eyes sparkling with excitement.
However, KiKi was unhappy in the house He was not given his meals on time, nor was he taken for a walk. KiKi was always shouted at and abused all day. “Your aunt bought KiKi so that the dog could protect her house from thieves, but actually she doesn’t love him”, a neighbour of Tom’s aunt told him one day.
Tom felt sad. At night he could hear KiKi make mournful sounds in the cold.“Why don’t you make a coat for your pet?”Tom paused and said, “He feels cold.” His aunt answered, “I have much better things to do. It’s just a dog!”
One day Tom went out for a walk with KiKi, when a fierce storm started. Tom ran to take shelter in a sweet shop. It was only after a few minutes that he realized that KiKi was not with him. “The storm separated us”, Tom was sad, telling his aunt. “I searched the entire place with the help of the sweet shop owner but I couldn’t find him.”Tom’s aunt posted an advertisement in the paper. After all she had spent a lot of money buying KiKi and did not want to lose him.
It was a half-hour ride by bus. The middle-aged lady who greeted KiKi was a motherly sort of a woman. She and her husband had answered Tom’s aunt’s advertisement in the paper. Since Tom’s aunt was out on an official tour, Tom had been sent to check on the dog. “He is asleep.” the lady said. “Come and have a look. It is so cute, just like our dead dog, CiCi.

【答案】
Tom went into the room and looked at the dog. That’s the lost dog he was looking for. He bent down, touching the dog’s golden fur gently. Obviously, KiKi was well cared for. Meanwhile, the woman continued to say how much they loved the dog and how it reminded them of their own beloved pet dog, CiCi. A pang of guilt seized Tom as he knew he would have to take the dog away from this loving home. He doubted whether it was fair to take KiKi away, especially when KiKi got the love and the care he deserved.
After a moment of hesitation, he struggled to say that the dog was not his aunt’s. Hearing this, the couple’s faces lit up at once. “It means we can live with this cute dog?” the lady asked with excitement. Tom nodded, believing that the kind couple would be more likely to give KiKi a better life, a life full of love, warmth and company as KiKi was a valuable gift to them. Tom was delighted that he could help the dog and the couple and make the world more beautiful and harmonious.
