What will you do when one of the few bookstores in your neighborhood shuts down? If you’re Latanya DeVaughn, you will make a new and improved one! As a mom and writer, she had always dreamed of opening her own bookstore, so after watching another close its doors for good, she saw her chance.
While Latanya said every neighborhood deserved a bookstore, actually making it happen simply wasn’t possible. What she came up with instead was to transform a bus into a bookmobile! With the help of her community, she raised funds for her dream and, at the end of 2021, it came true! Bronx Bound Books rolled out in style as a bus with orange cube bookshelves. “People love the way it smells,” Latanya added. “One woman said the wood smell makes her feel like she’s at home.”
Although the bookstore on wheels carries around 30,000 new and used books, it has more room than you might expect! Latanya also makes sure to prepare books with a variety of characters, so all readers can see themselves in the pages. Of course, her collection also features works of famous Black authors like James Baldwin and Alice Walker. “It’s meant to be that way,” she explained, “because I remember going to bookstores and having to look through books just to find someone I felt I could identify with.”
Setting up her bookstore in a new spot each day, Latanya is doing her part to ensure that everyone in the neighborhood will be exposed to books. That’s what Bronx Bound Books is for. “I can’t open up a bookstore on every comer, but I can probably pop up on tons of different comers,” she said.
Thanks to Latanya and her Bronx Bound Books, the town is becoming a heaven for book lovers day by day. I’m sure that the little bookstore will continue to develop quickly!
4. How did Latanga DeVoughn respond to the shutdown of bookstores?

B. She established her own special bookstore.

C. Latanya provided books with various characters.
D. Bronx Bound Books has unlimited room.
6. Why is Bronx Bound Books open?
A. To promote the latest books in the neighborhood.
B. To raise funds to realize Latanya DeVaughn’s dream.
C. To make reading accessible to people in the neighborhood.
D. To spread her bookstores to every comer across the world.
7. What does the author think of Bronx Bound Books?
A. Alarming. B. Affordable. C. Creative. D. Promising.

When Hurricane Douglas came barreling toward Oahu in 2020, David Sischo quickly packed up and drove to higher ground. But he wasn’t shifting his family. He was shifting snails.
Sischo works with some of the rarest endangered species on the planet, kāhuli — Hawaii’s native tree snails. The colorful, jewel-like snails were once so abundant. It’s said they were like Christmas ornaments covering the trees. Almost all of the 750 different species were found only in Hawaii. Today, more than half of those species are gone, the extinctions happening in the span of a human lifetime. Sischo and his team with Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources have the heavy task of saving what’s left.
To prevent extinction, 40 species of snails, each about the size of a dime, live in human care inside an unremarkable trailer near Honolulu. For some, it’s the only place where they’re found, their wild populations having completely disappeared. “Most people, when they think endangered species going extinct, they think of pandas and tigers and elephants, but imagine having 40 different species that are all as rare as pandas are,” Sischo says.
This winter, one species of snail will inch toward a successful milestone. It will be released in a special enclosure (圈养地) in the mountains of Oahu, one that has been painstakingly prepared to give the snails the best chance of survival in their natural environment.
Still, the outlook for Hawaii’s snails is uncertain, symbolizing a new era in the conservation of endangered species. Around the world, plants and animals are being brought into enclosure as a last-ditch effort against extinction. But as the climate heats up and invasive species continue to spread, many have no clear path to return to nature in the near term. That could mean they stay in human care. In the face of the biodiversity crisis, many wildlife biologists say there’s no other choice. “These are biological treasures that are irreplaceable,” Sischo says. “It is now or never. What we manage to keep on Earth will be what the next generation is able to put back.”
8. What was David’s primary concern when Hurricane Douglas approached?
A. The safety of his family. B. The protection of rare tree snails.
C. The withdrawal of local residents. D. The observation of the hurricane.
9. What’s the present state of kāhuli?
A. They are now more abundant than ever. B. All 750 species are still thriving in Hawaii.
C. They are in a severe situation of dying out. D. They can be found in various parts of the world.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The future of Hawaii’s snails is bright.
B. The biodiversity crisis is easy to deal with.
C. The ways to preserve endangered species are countless.
D. The conservation of endangered species is challenging.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To highlight the uncertain future of endangered species.
B. To reveal the impact of biodiversity crisis on Hawaii’s tree snails.
C. To present human efforts to conserve an endangered species.
D. To criticize the negative influence of severe Hurricane Douglas.
D
The rise of the robots has raised the possibility of a future where there is simply less wok for humans to do. To tired office workers, a world where we all have a bit more leisure time sounds rather nice. Yet what really matters is how work will be distributed (分配) across the workforce.
The recent past shows there is no reason to believe it will be evenly (均衡地) spread. The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009. But averages hide a lot.
While trends among women have been stable, there have been big shifts among men. Males in well-paid full-time employment are now working slightly longer hours on average than two decades ago. Meanwhile, men in full-time employment at the bottom of the wage ladder are working much less.
On top of that, the number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased sharply. Twenty years ago, one in 20 men with low hourly wages worked part-time; today it is one in five. Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid. In better-paying jobs, part-time men are still fairly rare. Gender roles within families might tend to be similar too. Low-paid men may be choosing to shoulder more childcare responsibilities so their partners can return to work.
Yet it is clear that the distribution of work will matter to people. Britain has both overemployment and underemployment problems: official data show 3.4 million people in Britain want to work more hours while 3.2 million want to work few hours for less pay. The underemployed are likely to be waiters or cleaners. The overemployed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives. This indicates an economy where demand and supply of skills are out of sync.
Nobody knows for sure how the next wave of automation will shake up demand for different skills. Perhaps doctors will gain the free time they desire. Others might find themselves in greater demand. It seems likely that in the future — as now — there will be too much work for some, and too little for others.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. Humans will rid all tiring work soon.
B. Future work time will be distributed evenly.
C. The averages may not indicate fewer working hours.
D. The average working hours in the UK has increased steadily.
13. What does the analysis by Institute for Fiscal Studies show?
A. Low-paid men are to blame for the low employment.
B. Part-time men have increased only among the low-paid.
C More well-paid men are choosing to work part-time.
D. Part-time men rarely shoulder childcare responsibilities.
14 What do the underlined words “out of sync” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Insignificant. B. Unconnected. C. Undoubted. D. Imbalanced.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. More low-paid men work part-time.
B. Robots has caused smaller amount of human labor.
C. Better workforce training systems will be built worldwide.
D. Robots contribute to uneven distribution across the workforce.

What will you do when one of the few bookstores in your neighborhood shuts down? If you’re Latanya DeVaughn, you will make a new and improved one! As a mom and writer, she had always dreamed of opening her own bookstore, so after watching another close its doors for good, she saw her chance.
While Latanya said every neighborhood deserved a bookstore, actually making it happen simply wasn’t possible. What she came up with instead was to transform a bus into a bookmobile! With the help of her community, she raised funds for her dream and, at the end of 2021, it came true! Bronx Bound Books rolled out in style as a bus with orange cube bookshelves. “People love the way it smells,” Latanya added. “One woman said the wood smell makes her feel like she’s at home.”
Although the bookstore on wheels carries around 30,000 new and used books, it has more room than you might expect! Latanya also makes sure to prepare books with a variety of characters, so all readers can see themselves in the pages. Of course, her collection also features works of famous Black authors like James Baldwin and Alice Walker. “It’s meant to be that way,” she explained, “because I remember going to bookstores and having to look through books just to find someone I felt I could identify with.”
Setting up her bookstore in a new spot each day, Latanya is doing her part to ensure that everyone in the neighborhood will be exposed to books. That’s what Bronx Bound Books is for. “I can’t open up a bookstore on every comer, but I can probably pop up on tons of different comers,” she said.
Thanks to Latanya and her Bronx Bound Books, the town is becoming a heaven for book lovers day by day. I’m sure that the little bookstore will continue to develop quickly!
4. How did Latanga DeVoughn respond to the shutdown of bookstores?

When Hurricane Douglas came barreling toward Oahu in 2020, David Sischo quickly packed up and drove to higher ground. But he wasn’t shifting his family. He was shifting snails.
Sischo works with some of the rarest endangered species on the planet, kāhuli — Hawaii’s native tree snails. The colorful, jewel-like snails were once so abundant. It’s said they were like Christmas ornaments covering the trees. Almost all of the 750 different species were found only in Hawaii. Today, more than half of those species are gone, the extinctions happening in the span of a human lifetime. Sischo and his team with Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources have the heavy task of saving what’s left.
To prevent extinction, 40 species of snails, each about the size of a dime, live in human care inside an unremarkable trailer near Honolulu. For some, it’s the only place where they’re found, their wild populations having completely disappeared. “Most people, when they think endangered species going extinct, they think of pandas and tigers and elephants, but imagine having 40 different species that are all as rare as pandas are,” Sischo says.
This winter, one species of snail will inch toward a successful milestone. It will be released in a special enclosure (圈养地) in the mountains of Oahu, one that has been painstakingly prepared to give the snails the best chance of survival in their natural environment.
Still, the outlook for Hawaii’s snails is uncertain, symbolizing a new era in the conservation of endangered species. Around the world, plants and animals are being brought into enclosure as a last-ditch effort against extinction. But as the climate heats up and invasive species continue to spread, many have no clear path to return to nature in the near term. That could mean they stay in human care. In the face of the biodiversity crisis, many wildlife biologists say there’s no other choice. “These are biological treasures that are irreplaceable,” Sischo says. “It is now or never. What we manage to keep on Earth will be what the next generation is able to put back.”
8. What was David’s primary concern when Hurricane Douglas approached?
A. The safety of his family. B. The protection of rare tree snails.
C. The withdrawal of local residents. D. The observation of the hurricane.
9. What’s the present state of kāhuli?
A. They are now more abundant than ever. B. All 750 species are still thriving in Hawaii.
C. They are in a severe situation of dying out. D. They can be found in various parts of the world.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The future of Hawaii’s snails is bright.
B. The biodiversity crisis is easy to deal with.
C. The ways to preserve endangered species are countless.
D. The conservation of endangered species is challenging.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To highlight the uncertain future of endangered species.
B. To reveal the impact of biodiversity crisis on Hawaii’s tree snails.
C. To present human efforts to conserve an endangered species.
D. To criticize the negative influence of severe Hurricane Douglas.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为kāhuli的濒危蜗牛以及人们为了拯救它们所付出的努力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When Hurricane Douglas came barreling toward Oahu in 2020, David Sischo quickly packed up and drove to higher ground. But he wasn’t shifting his family. He was shifting snails.(2020年,当飓风道格拉斯向瓦胡岛袭来时,大卫·西斯乔迅速收拾行李,开车去了更高的地方。但他并没有转移他的家庭。他在转移蜗牛)”可知,当道格拉斯飓风逼近时,大卫最关心的是保护稀有的蜗牛。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Today, more than half of those species are gone, the extinctions happening in the span of a human lifetime.(今天,这些物种中有一半以上已经消失,灭绝发生在人类一生的时间里)”可知,kāhuli濒临灭绝。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, the outlook for Hawaii’s snails is uncertain, symbolizing a new era in the conservation of endangered species. Around the world, plants and animals are being brought into enclosure as a last-ditch effort against extinction. But as the climate heats up and invasive species continue to spread, many have no clear path to return to nature in the near term. That could mean they stay in human care. In the face of the biodiversity crisis, many wildlife biologists say there’s no other choice.(尽管如此,夏威夷蜗牛的前景仍不确定,这标志着濒危物种保护进入了一个新时代。在世界各地,植物和动物都被圈养起来,作为防止灭绝的最后一招。但随着气候变暖,入侵物种继续蔓延,许多物种在短期内没有明确的回归自然的途径。这可能意味着他们将留在人类护理中心。面对生物多样性危机,许多野生动物生物学家表示别无选择)”可知,最后一段说明了气候变暖让许多物种在短期内没有明确的回归自然的途径,对此生物学家也没有应对办法。由此推知,保护濒危物种具有挑战性。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Sischo works with some of the rarest endangered species on the planet, kāhuli — Hawaii’s native tree snails.(西索从事的是地球上一些最稀有、濒临灭绝的物种的研究工作,即夏威夷本土的卡胡利树蜗牛)”以及文章以 David Sischo及其团队保护夏威夷树蜗牛为例,详细描述了圈养、计划放归等保护措施,强调人类在濒危物种保护中的行动。可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是展示人类为保护濒危物种所做的努力。故选C。
D
The rise of the robots has raised the possibility of a future where there is simply less wok for humans to do. To tired office workers, a world where we all have a bit more leisure time sounds rather nice. Yet what really matters is how work will be distributed (分配) across the workforce.
The recent past shows there is no reason to believe it will be evenly (均衡地) spread. The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009. But averages hide a lot.
While trends among women have been stable, there have been big shifts among men. Males in well-paid full-time employment are now working slightly longer hours on average than two decades ago. Meanwhile, men in full-time employment at the bottom of the wage ladder are working much less.
On top of that, the number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased sharply. Twenty years ago, one in 20 men with low hourly wages worked part-time; today it is one in five. Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid. In better-paying jobs, part-time men are still fairly rare. Gender roles within families might tend to be similar too. Low-paid men may be choosing to shoulder more childcare responsibilities so their partners can return to work.
Yet it is clear that the distribution of work will matter to people. Britain has both overemployment and underemployment problems: official data show 3.4 million people in Britain want to work more hours while 3.2 million want to work few hours for less pay. The underemployed are likely to be waiters or cleaners. The overemployed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives. This indicates an economy where demand and supply of skills are out of sync.
Nobody knows for sure how the next wave of automation will shake up demand for different skills. Perhaps doctors will gain the free time they desire. Others might find themselves in greater demand. It seems likely that in the future — as now — there will be too much work for some, and too little for others.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A Humans will rid all tiring work soon.
B. Future work time will be distributed evenly.
C. The averages may not indicate fewer working hours.
D. The average working hours in the UK has increased steadily.
13. What does the analysis by Institute for Fiscal Studies show?
A. Low-paid men are to blame for the low employment.
B. Part-time men have increased only among the low-paid.
C. More well-paid men are choosing to work part-time.
D. Part-time men rarely shoulder childcare responsibilities.
14. What do the underlined words “out of sync” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Insignificant. B. Unconnected. C. Undoubted. D. Imbalanced.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. More low-paid men work part-time.
B. Robots has caused smaller amount of human labor.
C. Better workforce training systems will be built worldwide.
D. Robots contribute to uneven distribution across the workforce.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了机器人技术的发展对人类工作分配的影响,指出未来可能出现的工作不均衡分布现象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009. But averages hide a lot. (在英国,平均每周工作时间从19世纪中期的59小时稳步下降到2009年的32小时。但是平均数隐藏了很多东西)”可知,平均每周工作时间未能真实反映工作时长情况。由此可知,平均值可能并不意味着工作时间减少。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“On top of that, the number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased sharply. Twenty years ago, one in 20 men with low hourly wages worked part-time; today it is one in five. Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid. (最重要的是,从事兼职工作的低收入男性数量急剧增加。20年前,每20个工资较低的男性中就有一个从事兼职工作;如今,这一比例为五分之一。英国财政研究所的分析显示,这种现象只发生在低收入人群中)”可知,该分析表明兼职男性人数增加只出现在低薪人群中。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。画线词的上文“Britain has both overemployment and underemployment problems: official data show 3.4 million people in Britain want to work more hours while 3.2 million want to work few hours for less pay. The underemployed are likely to be waiters or cleaners. The overemployed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives. (英国同时存在着就业过度和就业不足的问题:官方数据显示,英国有340万人希望增加工作时间,320万人希望少工作几小时,少拿工资。未充分就业的人很可能是服务员或清洁工。就业过度的人最有可能是医生或首席执行官)”提到英国存在就业过度和就业不足的问题,两大人群对工作时间的期望截然相反。画线词所在句是对上文进行总结,这说明技能的需求和供给是不平衡的,画线词意思应该是“不同步,不平衡”,与D项“Imbalanced (不平衡的)”意思相符。A. Insignificant不重要的;B. Unconnected无关联的;C. Undoubted毫无疑问的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Yet what really matters is how work will be distributed (分配) across the workforce. (然而,真正重要的是工作将如何在劳动力中分配)”、第二段中“The recent past shows there is no reason to believe it will be evenly (均衡地) spread. (最近的历史表明,没有理由相信它会均匀分布)”和最后一段中“It seems likely that in the future — as now — there will be too much work for some, and too little for others. (很可能在未来——就像现在一样——一些人的工作太多,而另一些人的工作太少)”可知,文章开篇提到机器人兴起引发对未来人类工作及工作分配的思考,接着通过英国工作周时长变化、不同收入男性工作情况、就业过度和不足等现象,说明工作分配不均衡,最后指出未来自动化浪潮下工作分配仍将不均衡。因此,整体围绕机器人导致劳动力工作分配不均衡展开。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章对“角色扮演”进行简要介绍,其次提出了“角色扮演”可以帮助孩子学习、培养孩子想象力以及帮助孩子应对一些他们产生不良情绪的状况。
【16题详解】
上文“Playing is a key component in the learning process for virtually all of the children. Role-playing is one of the most significant ways children play.(对几乎所有的孩子来说,玩耍是学习过程中的一个关键组成部分。角色扮演是孩子们最重要的游戏方式之一。)”提到了角色扮演是孩子们学习过程中的最重要的游戏方式之一,F项“This involves a child in an activity where he or she pre ten as to be another person.(这涉及到一个孩子在一个活动中,他或她假装是另一个人)”解释了角色扮演,承接上文,引出下文“It can benefit children in many ways.( 它可以在许多方面使儿童受益。)”,F项中的this指代上文的“Role-playing”,下文的it也是指代“Role-playing”。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据前文“When children role-play, they must create plans to act out a story and figure out what steps need to be taken to accomplish it.(当孩子们扮演角色时,他们必须制定计划来表演一个故事,并弄清楚需要采取什么步骤来完成它)”以及后文“As a result, they he come able to give instructions and organize others.(因此,他们开始有能力发号施令和组织他人)”可知,空处应是一个过渡句,讲述前句产生的好处,并导致后文的结果,所以D项“Through these activities, children can enhance their oral language abilities.(通过这些活动,孩子们可以提高他们的口语能力)”符合文意,起到过渡作用。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Roles are assigned to children when they engage in group activities. There are leaders and followers. When children disagree with each other, they must learn to negotiate and compromise, as well as to apologize when they disagree or have strong arguments.(当孩子们参加集体活动时,他们会被分配角色。有领导者,也有追随者。当孩子们彼此意见不一致时,他们必须学会协商和妥协,以及在他们意见不一致或有强烈争论时道歉)”可知,本段讲述孩子们可以通过角色扮演学会协商,妥协和道歉,提高社交能力,A项“Children’s social skills can also be developed.(孩子们的社交技能也可以得到发展)”符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Besides helping children, learn some kinds of skills, role-playing fosters children’s imaginations and can therefore assume a number of forms. For example, boys may pretend to shave like their fathers, while girls may pretend to be mothers to, do some daily tasks like, caring for young babies, sometimes, children imitate real-life situations.( 除了帮助孩子学习一些技能外,角色扮演还可以培养孩子的想象力,因此可以采取多种形式。例如,男孩可能会假装像他们的父亲一样刮胡子,而女孩可能会假装像母亲一样做一些日常工作,比如照顾年幼的婴儿,有时,孩子们会模仿现实生活中的情况)”可知,角色扮演还可以培养孩子们的想象力,空格上文列举了一些角色扮演培养想象力的活动,男孩扮演父亲,女孩扮演母亲,C项“More often, they may act out stories they read in books.(更常见的情况是,孩子们可能会表演他们在书中读到的故事)”符合语境,与前文是顺承关系,故选C。
【20题详解】
前文“Lastly, role-playing can help children deal with emotional pain caused by specific actions, such as the fear of going to school for the first time.(最后,角色扮演可以帮助孩子们处理由特定行为引起的情感痛苦,比如对第一次上学的恐惧)”讲述了角色扮演可以帮助孩子们处理情感痛苦,并举例,G项中的“help children lower their fear in reality”与本段话题一致,因此推断G项“Rele-paying situations lie these beforehand can help children lower their fear in reality.(像这样的角色扮演情境可以帮助孩子们降低他们在现实中的恐惧)”符合语境,“their fear in reality”呼应上文的“the fear of going to school for the first time”以及下文的“fears”。故选G。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了诚实这一基本美德在日常生活中的重要性,包括其对人际关系、职业发展的影响,并呼吁人们在各种情境中践行诚实。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:诚实常被视为一种基本美德,在我们的日常生活中起着至关重要的作用。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词honesty,honesty与consider为被动关系,用过去分词considered。故填considered。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:拥有诚实品质的人更有可能赢得他人的信任。此处为固定搭配be likely to do sth.,意为“可能做某事”,用动词不定式to earn。故填to earn。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:例如,在学校里,诚实学生总是会承认自己的错误,而不是掩盖它们,这不仅有助于自我提升,也体现了对老师和同学的尊重。此处为谓语动词,与helps并列,描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语This为单数,所以谓语动词为shows。故填shows。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:诚实有时可能是一个挑战,尤其是当不诚实可能带来潜在利益时。challenge为可数名词单数,表泛指“一个挑战”,且以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。故填a。
40题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而,与长期的声誉损失相比,撒谎带来的短期利益通常显得微不足道。根据空前the long-term可知,此处为名词作宾语,lose的名词为loss,意为“损失”,为不可数名词。故填loss。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在求职面试中,雇主高度重视品质积极的候选人。先行词为candidates,关系词在从句中作定语,修饰qualities,用关系代词whose引导定语从句。故填whose。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:他们认为,诚实的员工在处理工作任务时会更可靠,对公司也会很有价值。此处为固定搭配be of great value,意为“很有价值”,所以此处使用介词of。故填of。
【43题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:我们应该鼓励自己在任何情况下都保持诚实。此处作encourage的宾语,且主语与宾语为同一主体,宾语用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。
【44题详解】
考查强调句。句意:记住,无论是在个人生活还是职业生活中,正是诚实建立了牢固的关系。去掉it is和设空处句子依然完整,故此处为强调句结构“It is +被强调部分+that+其他”,被强调部分为主语honesty,故填that。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过践行诚实,我们可以创造一个更美好的世界。介词By后接动名词作宾语,所以此处为practice的动名词形式practicing。故填practicing。
