Welcome to the Chinese mountain city of Dali, also sometimes known as Dalifornia,an oasis for China's disaffected, drifting or just plain curious.
The area has long been a hub for backpackers and artists,who were attracted by its cheap rents and idyllic old town, where ancient city gates and white-walled courtyard homes point to the history of the Bai ethnic minority, who have lived there for thousands of years.
But recently, Dali has been filled with a different crop of wandering souls:young people from China's large cities, fleeing the intense lifestyles that many of them once longed for.Worn out by the high cost of living, cut-throat competition,stressful jobs, and record youth unemployment, they have turned Dali into China's destination of the moment.
A seemingly inescapable buzzword in Dali is healing.Healing yoga, healing camping trips, even healing coffee shops.The therapeutic atmosphere was especially thick at Veggie Ark, a complex north of the old town that houses the vegan canteen, yoga studios,gong lessons and a dye workshop. Eventually, it would also include a “self- sufficiency lab” that Tang Guanhua, 34, was building in the courtyard: a wooden dome, constructed by hand,that when completed would be powered by solar energy, and serve as an exhibition space for handicrafts made with local materials. “I wanted the lab to encourage visitors to try out more sustainable lifestyles,” said Tang
Some of the new arrivals say they want to stay forever;others acknowledge they are looking just to try out an alternative lifestyle before returning to the city grind(苦差事). Still, even the most cynical(愤世嫉俗的)observer would admit that the city feels more open and relaxing than most other places in China.
“People here won't deliberately try to assign you labels.You can just be yourself and be seen,” said Joey Chen, a 22-year-old freelance writer who had dropped out of college and moved to Dali a month earlier from Jiangxi province. Chen was sitting in the attic reading corner of a bookstore, devouring the Simone de Beauvoir novel All Men Are Mortal. Downstairs, the walls were decorated with photos of Franz Kafka and Che Guevara.
The question is how long Dali can remain such a harbor.
24.Which factor does NOT contribute to young people's fleeing to Dali?
A.High living expenses. B.Heavy job stress.
C.Tight job markets. D.Declining salaries.
25.What does the underlined word “therapeutic” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Silent. B.Comforting. C.Dynamic. D.Mysterious.
26.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Some visitors consider Dali as a shelter from heavy workload.
B.Dali is enthusiastic about pursuing sustainable development in tourism.
C.Dali is known as the most inclusive and comfortable place in China.
D.Visitors are likely to be defined unintentionally in Dali.
27.What might be discussed after the last paragraph?
A.Recommended tourist spots in Dali.
B.Existing problems of Dali's tourism.
C.Visitors' impressive encounters in Dali.
D.Detailed plans for Dali's future development.
C
Talking to Gen Z about tech overuse isn't exactly groundbreaking. We all recognize the impact of daily device usage on our health, well-being and ability to focus. We know it's bad for us, but we might need a little help to quit.
This is partly because popular social media is designed for addiction. Social media features, such as TikTok's “For You”page, or the rare thrill of going viral, mimic (模仿)the unpredictable reward cycles that keep slot machine (老虎机) players going back for more. The results of one study likened humans on social media to rats in a Skinner box--by posting your vacation photos on Instagram, you're rewarded with a flood of hearts on your screen, and you're conditioned to do it again and again. But beyond app design, our inability to disconnect ourselves from unhealthy cycles with social media may also have to do with a lack of access to in-person social interaction outside of planned hangouts with familiar people or friends. For many members of Gen Z, most of our human interactions now happen at least partially online. This makes them often feel compelled (强迫的) to be constantly online-if everyone else is online, being offline often means being alone.
Gen Zers have already taken some impressive steps to solve the problems with social media and tech overuse. Take Royce Branning, for example, a 2018 college graduate and founder of clear space, an app that helps people reduce their screen time.
Tech-based solutions to tech-based problems are only half the story. Like with smoking and secondhand smoke, using the Internet as the primary way of spending time with others has additional effects-namely, fewer in-person opportunities for connection, fewer unexpected conversations with strangers in elevators, fewer “no phone" events where we can give our brains a break from the powerfully addictive devices in our pockets.
There is a story in my family about my grandfather seeing his young son pick up a pack of cigarettes to play with. Though he'd been smoking for 15 years, the sight prompted my grandfather to quit instantly, cold turkey. Today, college-age kids and recent graduates swear that they won't have “iPad kids". Promising to keep the next generation from taking up bad habits is admirable. But if we could find the courage and support to quit for ourselves before then, it would be even better.
28. What is one reason why social media can be addictive?
A. It provides unpredictable rewards.
B. It offers constant access to friends.
C. It provides a platform for self-expression.
D. It offers opportunities for personal growth.
29. Why do many Gen Zers feel compelled to be constantly online?
A. They prefer online interactions.
B. They have a limited offline social life.
C.They avoid hanging out with acquaintances.
D. They have nobody to keep them company in real life.
30. How does the author view tech-based solutions?
A. They can hardly work as designed.
B. They are difficult to apply on a large scale.
C.They can only solve some of the problems.
D.They are ideal for those addicted to digital devices.
31.What does the author want to show by telling the story about his grandfather?
A. It is hard to quit smoking.
B.It is dangerous to play with cigarettes.
C. It is important to set good examples for the young.
D. It is necessary to help kids realize the importance of health.
D
Tesla's self-driving cars are currently facing investigation after a report on crashes cast doubt on their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk's claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “undoubtedly safer”, data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla's driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) has recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention, and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can't record incidents that were avoided due to the cars' safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it's not.
Tesla's safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla's customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla's request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes.This lack of transparency prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla's aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system.Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla's messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems,ensure their automation set can detect emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. Rushing the implementation of such technology without addressing its limitations could lead to serious consequences on the road.
32.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A.Tesla's crash statistics have remained overreported up to now.
B.Tesla's driver-assistance technology has been involved in more accidents.
C.Tesla's safety features prevent more crashes on highways.
D.Tesla's driver-assistance incidents were avoided with safety features.
33.What can be inferred about Tesla's safety claims?
A.They are supported by comprehensive data.
B.They are based on limited driving environment.
C.They are restricted to the wealthier customers.
D.Their accuracy is recognized by authorities.
34.What can we know about Full Self-Driving?
A.It is well-received among customers.
B.It is expected to be launched.
C.It requires the human input.
D.It proves to be the safest option available.
35.Which title best summarizes the content of this text?
A.Tesla's Self-Driving Cars:Automobiles Raising Concerns and Questions
B.Tesla's Self-Driving Cars:The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C.The Future of Self-Driving Cars:A Closer Look at Tesla's Technology
D.The Future of Self-Driving Cars:A Risky Attempt of Tesla's Full Self-Driving

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you have trouble falling asleep, then you've probably heard about listening to white noise. 36 Given the potential health benefits you can gain from listening to this type of sound as you sleep, you're probably going to want to use pink noise for sleep.
37 Both consist of all the frequencies we hear. However, they're different in one distinct way: white noise has an equal power per Hz through all of its frequencies, and in contrast, pink noise's power per Hz decreases when the frequency increases. 38 However, pink noise tends to ebb and flow (起伏), like the sound of waves crashing on the beach. In fact, many examples of pink noise can be found in the natural world: rain falling and heart beating are examples of pink noise.
39 All you have to do is use a sound app and select an audio option that has an ebbing and flowing pattern, like the natural sounds mentioned above. Or, if you live in a place where you can hear waves crashing through your window, you can just listen to those natural sounds, too. There are also plenty of pink noise videos available on YouTube.
If you're on the fence, consider this: studies have suggested that pink noise could help you not just fall asleep, but enjoy deeper and more restful sleep, too. 40 Specifically, scientists at Northwestern University studied the impact that pink noise had on the sleep quality of a group of adults between the ages of 60-84, and determined that listening to pink noise was connected to deep sleep for the participants.
A. Pink noise is similar to white noise.
B.The energy of pink noise is intense at low sounds.
C. In other words, white noise is a steady and consistent noise.
D. White noise has also been shown to improve memory and concentration.
E. But you might not have heard about pink noise, white noise's more colorful cousin.
F. Luckily, it's super easy to create a pink noise-friendly environment in your bedroom.
G. A study published in 2017 helped explain the potential sleep-deepening effect of pink noise.

China is emerging as a dominant player in global wind power generation, with the country's manufacturers 56 (supply)nearly 60% of installed capacity worldwide in 2022.
The Chinese government has taken an active role in developing the country's offshore wind power generation industry, not only to tackle power shortages and air pollution, 57 also to make renewable energy a foundation for economic growth.
The sector's 58 (expand) was spurred(促进) by a 2019 government notice urging energy suppliers to connect their facilities to the grid network by the end of 2021.
59 a result, China's cumulative (累积的) offshore(approximate) 31gigawatts wind power capacity grew to 60 in 2022, surpassing (超过) Europe for the first time to leap to the first place in the world. Chinese manufacturers have since improved 61 (they) cost competitiveness by scaling up, expanding sales channels in Europe and Japan. Europe 62 (take) the lead in wind power in the 2010s, but development has slowed due to high costs resulting from rising interest rates and inflation.
Chinese manufacturers could boost their market share even 63 (far) with their cost competitiveness, 64 would make it “difficult for developers and policymakers 65 (turn) down Chinese suppliers," research firm Wood Mackenzie said in a report.

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。
I stood in the door of our flower shop,watching the staff work on arrangements and talk with customers. Among the employees was Emily,my 25-year-old daughter. Together, my friend Colleen and I had truly created an amazing space.
I first met Colleen 15 years ago, at an event for the Chester County Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症)Interest Group,right after her daughter,Katie, was born. The group helped other families like ours navigate the life of having a child with Down Syndrome. “It's such a challenge to help our daughters find jobs,” I said to Colleen one day. She agreed. When we learned that only 20 percent of adults with special needs have jobs that pay a typical wage,we were determined to make a difference. And not just for Emily and Katie.
In January 2021,we were approached by an organization that owned a flower shop, hoping we could use it to further our goal. It was a dream come true. We created the Kati Mac Education Foundation and reopened the shop as a nonprofit. Ten out of our 14 employees have special needs. Colleen and I spent days planning, ensuring that our shop was a learning space for our employees. We provided them with the training they needed, not just in floristry(花艺)but in essential life skills-communication,money management, and customer service. Our dream was slowly turning into reality, with Emily and Katie leading the charge.
As I watched the busy flower shop around me, I listened to the spirit-lifting playlist Emily had picked out herself. She greeted customers and answered their questions, while Katie worked with her mom to create a wonderful arrangement for a customer's special occasion. The aroma(芳香)of roses, peonies and lilies was heavenly, but it was our employees who made the flower shop a place for angels.
