B This year, a new taste of coffee Moutai-flavored latte became popular among young people. Have you ever ordered the first cup of coffee in autumn? The collaboration (合作) between Kweichow Moutai and Luckin Coffee has interested many people. It is reported that it sold 5.42 million cups and made 100 million yuan just on Sept 4th, the first day it came out. Moutai has tried many ways in recent years to be more popular, such as by bringing out Moutai ice cream and canvas (帆布) bags. This interesting collaboration lets Moutai make its brand (品牌) younger. Through collaborations, brands can share what they need, make the market bigger, and bring more amazing things to buyers. It’s reported China’s collaboration market will grow to over 100 billion yuan in 2023 and may reach 300 billion yuan by 2025. Making a good collaboration is not just to get the public excited. In July, Heytea and Chow Tai Fook (周大福) teamed up to present a peach- flavor drink. However, the drink was not liked by internet users. They said the drink was not so tasty and peaches can hardly make people think of Chow Tai Fook. 24.

C. collaborations make the public have more choices to buy their likes. D. some collaborations may have unhappy results and even hurt brands. 26. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Do What Tastes Right B. First Cup of Coffee in Autumn C. Brands Teaming Up D. Moutai’s New Arrival C Tom and Becky walked down a path inside a cave (洞穴), holding their candles high. They saw names and dates written on the wall with candle smoke by other visitors to the cave. Becky and Tom read some of them as they walked along. They were talking so much that it was a little while before they noticed they were now in a part of the cave that had no writing on the wall. They used candle smoke to write their own names on the rock and walked on. Soon they came to a place where a small river was running. Over the years the cave wall had been shaped (使成形) by the running water, and it looked like a frozen waterfall. Tom went behind it and lit it up with his candle so that Becky could see it better. Behind the stone waterfall he found an opening in the rock, leading downwards. At once he wanted to travel through it and found something. Becky agreed and together they started to walk down into the earth. They wound this way and that, far into the cave, making smoke marks here and there to show the way back. This was exciting. They would have a lot to tell the friends above when they returned. In one place, they found a big open space full of shining stalactites (钟乳石), as long and thick as a man’s leg. They walked around it and left from one of the many passages (通道) that opened into it. The next place they found was full of bats (蝙蝠). There were thousands of them. The candlelight woke them up, and they flew at the candlelight at once. Tom knew this was dangerous and took Becky’s hand to hurry her away. He pulled her into the first opening he found. Suddenly one of the bats put out Becky’s candle with its wings as she ran away. The bats followed them quite a long way. Luckily, they got away at last. —Adapted from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 27.

Careful and brave. C. Humorous and careful. D. Clever and interesting. D 阅读以下内容，从其后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 We usually play a game “Musical Chairs”. A group of kids run around a row of chairs when music plays and try to sit down on one of them when the music stops. ____31____ Well, the fact is, the number of chairs is always one less than the number of children. So, at the end of each round, there is going to be one player out. The world is a zero-sum game (零和博弈). ____32____ If you’re in, I’m out. That’s just how easy but cruel (残酷) this game is. “Why is a win-win situation (形势) so hard to get?” you may ask. The answer is because we hope to be different from others. We divide (使分成) the world into “us” and “them”. ____33____ And anyone who is not one of “us” usually falls into the group of “them”. “We” and “they” always get into fights. ____34____ But come to think about it, maybe it’s easy to have a win-win situation. We just need a change in our mind. Why not think of “them” as part of “us”? ____35____ So by doing this, we can win the zero-sum game and create a shared future. A. Sounds easy? B. It’s time to come together to make us one. C. Why not think of “their” future as “our” future? D. What divides us and what can bring us together?

Even the smallest differences divide the world into “us” and “them” 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分 10分） 从方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其适当的形式填空(每个词或短语只能用一次) journey had better quickly look through care about stand for day make mistakes themselves discuss 36.
