This guide will focus on four of the best bookstores in Manhattan to visit. Rizzoli Bookstore Address: 1133 Broadway This bookstore has been around for over 50 years, which specializes in illustrated books on architecture, interior design, fashion, photography, cookery, and the fine and applied arts. At Rizzoli, you will also find frequent events happening in the store with various authors coming in to talk about their works. Be sure to check out Rizzoli Bookstore for more information about upcoming events. Alabaster Bookshop Address: 122 4th Ave This is one of the smallest bookshops you will find in the area. The shelves are lined with a variety of used and rare books for your choosing. Outside of the shop, you will find several baskets filled with $2 books to browse(浏览) through in addition to everything else in the shop itself. Housing Works Bookstore Address: 126 Crosby Street This bookstore is a different type of bookstore that you will come across in Manhattan. All books within the store have been donated, and the staff is almost made up of volunteers. The mission of Housing Works Bookstore is to end the crisis of homelessness, and the bookstore earnings are the main way in which it helps achieve that mission. Strand Bookstore Address: 828 Broadway at 12th Street Within the Strand Bookstore, you will find over 2.5 million books covering a wide variety of topics. I have a hard time believing you won’t find a book that you want to bring home after visiting the store. And if you would like to sell some of your own books, Strand has a buying desk that is open from Thursday to Saturday (10AM-2PM). 16. Who would most probably be drawn to Rizzoli Bookstore? A. People selling used books. B. People wanting to meet authors. C. People collecting unusual books. D. People donating books to the needy. 17. How is Housing Works Bookstore different from the other three stores? A. It provides discounted books. B. It offers book loan services. C. It hands out books for free. D. It is run for charity. 18. Where would one most probably go to find a full-range bookstore in the city? A. 828 Broadway at 12th Street. B. 126 Crosby Street. C. 1133 Broadway. D. 122 4th Ave. B When Sahana Vij was just five years old, her mother taught her how to make French toast, and together they volunteered at a shelter in Seattle, preparing soups and enchiladas (肉馅玉米卷饼) and serving meals to families in need. From then on, Vij has developed a passion for cooking. Reflecting on her experiences, Vij, now an 18-year-old freshman at the University of California, Irvine, shared with PEOPLE, “Food is a major, big, important way to communicate with people.” That is exactly what motivated her to teach herself by experimenting with new recipes each week and preparing them for others, and still in high school, she authored her cookbook, Bake Away, which is available at several stores. Vij is donating all of her author proceeds (收入) to the non-profit No Kid Hungry. For every $1 donated, No Kid Hungry serves 10 meals. “You need to eat,” she says. “You need to eat breakfast, you need to eat lunch, and you need to fuel your body, especially while you’re learning.” If her first printing run sells out, Vij hopes to provide kids with about 700,000 meals. “As many as possible,” she says. “It feels like a necessity to me.” On Father’s Day, Vij presented a copy of her book to Thomas Keller, a chef at The French Laundry, who commented on her website by saying, “Whenever I encounter creative blocks or picky diners, I always think of the book, which even perfectly bridges culinary (烹饪的) innovation and charity, giving me hope for the future.” Vij hopes to make a global impact through her cooking, with plans to earn an MBA after college and open her own restaurant, where she intends to donate part of the proceeds to No Kid Hungry. Vij says, “I hope that I can inspire others to keep creating and continue to cook and share what I’ve made with other people.” 19. What might fuel Vij’s passion for cooking? A. Her dream of owning a restaurant. B. Her charitable cooking experience. C. Her cookbook ‘s positive reviews. D. Her wish to link people with food. 20. What is Vij’s plan for her book sales? A. To provide meals for more kids. B. To train chefs in menu innovation. C. To develop a healthy diet program. D. To fund children’s health education. 21. How did Thomas Keller probably feel about Bake Away? A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Inspired. D. Relieved. 22. What kind of person is Vij? A. Brave and generous. B. Clever and educated. C. Gifted and patient. D. Kind and creative. C A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items. Study lead author Julia Wolfson associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School, and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放). More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items— burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels. Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting,” says Wolfson. While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive “low climate impact” labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to “high climate impact” labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is. “An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them,” Wolfson says. “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.” 23. What’s the aim of the new study? A. To decide the best method for labeling food products in general. B. To discover the impact of climate labels on fast food choices. C. To find out the connection between red meat and health problems. D. To encourage sustainable food choices in fast food restaurants. 24. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The influence of the study. B. The results of the study. C. The importance of the study. D. The process of the study. 25. What potential effect could climate labels cause? A. They may cause confusion among consumers. B. They might result in people consuming more red meat. C. They could make a food item seem healthier than it is. D. They may lead to an increase in vegetarian choices. 26. What is Wolfson’s attitude towards climate impact labels on food? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Objective. D. Uninterested. D Some of life’s simplest mysteries can prove the hardest to solve. One such mystery is how a bird sleeps, especially while it’s on a branch. The sleep cycle during our deepest sleep lasts for several minutes, but in birds, it lasts hardly 10 seconds; they will keep one part of their brain awake, which you might notice when a bird has one eye open. This will allow birds to run away from a hunt at a moment’s notice, even when they’re in the middle of a sleep. To fall asleep, a bird’s body goes through a series of changes, one of which is that the muscles lose their hardness, which happens as a main result of reduced brain control of muscle movement. To stand perfectly balanced on a branch while the muscles become weak isn’t easy. Anyone who has tried to sleep while standing on a train would know this. So when a bird lowers itself, its talons (爪子) automatically and involuntarily bend and hold on tightly to the branch, and until the leg is straightened, the talons will not relax. The key behind this mechanism (机制) is the bird’s flexor tendons (屈肌腱) that connect muscles to bones. The flexor tendon stretches, thus bending the bird’s toes. But a recent paper found that sleeping European starlings (a common bird found in North America and Europe) don’t use the mechanism. The researchers observed that the birds bent their knees only slightly, not enough for the mechanism to kick into action. The toes, as a result, were largely unbent, and the birds balanced on the central part of their feet while they slept. “Birds are varied and unique, exhibiting different bodies, physiologies, and behaviors depending on which species, genus, or family one studies. Sleep cycles differ just as widely. While we may not know the whole story yet, there is no denying that it is remarkable that birds manage this balancing act daily!” said Salama, who has a degree in life sciences and biochemistry from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. 27. What does the underlined word “This” in the second paragraph refer to? A. Birds’ light sleep style. B. The variation in sleep cycles. C. Birds’ special brain structure. D. The continuation of deep sleep. 28. What is the role of flexor tendons in helping birds balance on branches? A. Enabling the power of birds’ legs. B. Stretching to make talons bend and lock. C. Controlling muscles’ hardness and movement. D. Connecting muscles to strengthen their functions. 29. What can we infer from Salama’s words? A. Learning birds’ habits needs cooperation. B. Denying birds’ importance is unwise. C. Studying birds’ sleep has challenges. D. Knowing birds’ balancing acts is useful. 30. What can be the best title for the text? A. Why Do Birds Require Less Sleep? B. Why Do European Starlings Sleep Differently? C. Why Do Sleeping Birds Have One Eye Open? D. Why Don’t Sleeping Birds Fall Off Branches? 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Technology has significantly changed our lives over the past few decades.

As the chairman of the Students’ Union, I am eager to call upon every one of you to reduce our carbon footprint. Let’s start with reducing water consumption. Keep our shower time as short as possible, which is an important and easy way to save water on campus. Besides, it is of utmost importance to switch off lights and unplug other electrical appliances when not in use. Last but not least, in our daily life, it is highly advisable to use reusable products whenever possible. For example, refill the thermos with water or tea instead of buying disposable plastic bottled water. As an old saying goes, “Together, individuals can make a difference.” Working hand in hand, we can surely make a big difference. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
