Los Angeles is home to a popular cycling culture. The following bike shops will help you see the city in a whole new light.
Los Angeles Bike Academy
Los Angeles Bike Academy is a bike shop with a critical mission: Provide resources and community for local underserved youth. Its initiative is its Earn-a-Bike program, where students spend time in the shop learning the basics of bike maintenance and running a store, and they graduate with their own bike.

The Cub House
It’s a bike shop, a plant store and a nice place to wander through. It has something for everyone. Here you can play a game of ping-pong on the outdoor table, head into the mini greenhouse for a delicate plant, or just admire the vintage (老式的) cycling clothes hung on the walls. Finally, make sure to swing by the Cub House for the L. A. Invitational, a weekend party featuring multiple bike rides and a vintage car and bike show outside the store.
Frank’s
Some of the wildest bikes in L. A. are rolling out of Frank’s. The house specialty here is BMX, specifically luxury models with large 29-inch wheels.

I have always been proud of my handwriting, a skill I was taught in grade school. The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty.
Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive (草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists.
But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing.
Initially I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A.” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”.
Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate.
In fact, I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote — in big block letters:
DEAR ALICE:
HI.
JOE.
I hope she gets the message.
4. What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method?
A. It is characterized by big flowing lines. B. It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists.
C. It was not allowed in students'homework. D. It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles.
5. What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive?
A. The popularity of block letters in recent times.
B. The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive.
C. His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards.
D. His English friend's suggestion on postcard design.
6. Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication?
A. To deliver his message clearly. B. To improve his handwriting skills.
C. To win praise from his friends. D. To show his passion for calligraphy.
7 What is the text mainly about?
A. The wide use of cursive. B. The sad decline of cursive.
C The value of preserving cursive. D. The technique of writing in cursive.
C
After nearly a decade of trying, Apple finally gave up its effort to produce an electric car last year, canceling a project that soaked up $10 billion. But last year in China, the electronics maker Xiaomi launched its first electric car after just three years of development and delivered 135,000 vehicles. It has vowed to double that number in 2025.
Xiaomi’s ability to succeed where Apple could not shows how thoroughly China has come to dominate the supply chain for electric vehicles. Chinese companies have mastered electric vehicle manufacturing. By tapping that infrastructure, Xiaomi was able to get components quickly and cheaply. And Xiaomi is not the only Chinese consumer electronics company that has branched out to electric vehicles. The telecommunications giant Huawei, which the U. S. government has targeted with sanctions and legal action for years, is making autonomous driving software. Huawei has teamed up with multiple Chinese automakers, including Seres Group and the state-owned firms SAIC Motor, BAIC and Chery.
Xiaomi’s first electric car was brought out last March: the SU7,a four-door sedan with artificial intelligence features that can help with parking, play movies for passengers and program Xiaomi home appliances from the road. Mr. Lei said it looks like a Porsche. But at $ 30,000, it’s a quarter of the price. While the SU7 earned Xiaomi just a small fraction of the sales of China’s top electric vehicle makers, it puts Xiaomi among the Chinese companies that are dealing a major blow to foreign automakers’ long command over China’s market for premium cars. In the year since the SU7 went on sale, Porsche deliveries in China were down nearly 30 percent.
Chinese electric vehicle companies have benefited from billions of dollars in government support, which has helped them gain control of the supply chain down to the very minerals inside the car batteries. This early edge helped two Chinese companies, BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology Company.
Xiaomi used this supply chain to its advantage. Its cars contain batteries from BYD and CATL. It was able to quickly start production by taking over a factory from Beijing Auto Group. Construction workers in Beijing are working around the clock on a second factory. All this manufacturing capacity helps Chinese electric vehicle firms move from development to production in far less time than traditional automakers in China enabling them to bring new models to market quickly and focus on making software that they can continually update, said Stephen W. Dyer, head of Asia Automotive at AlixPartners.
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By listing examples. B. By stating opinions.
C. By making a contrast. D. By giving definitions.
9. Why does the author mention Apple’s failure?
A. To show Apple’s poor management. B. To prove electric car production is difficult.
C. To highlight China’s EV development. D. To compare it with Huawei’s situation.
10. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A. SU7’s price advantage. B. SU7’s features and influence.
C. Porsche’s decline in China. D. Xiaomi’s EV production plan.
11. How did Xiaomi start its electric car production quickly?
A. By developing new technology. B. By building its own factory.
C. By getting government support. D. By getting hold of a factory.
D
Qin Xiaoya, a virtual figure playing a young female role in Qinqiang Opera, has caught people’s attention since it made its debut in an art festival in Xi’an, capital of Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.
The design team employed 3D modeling to replicate the original clothes and accessories of the virtual actress. “To make her true to life, we went to great effort to reproduce her gestures and decorations with the real voice of the opera performer,” said Zhang Xi, a team member.
Qinqiang Opera, a Chinese folk opera originating in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-771 BC), continues to thrive in a vast region of Northwest China and was added to the country’s intangible cultural heritage list in 2006.
As a newcomer to this ancient art, Qin Xiaoya demonstrates a youthful image. In an introductory music video for the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival held in June, she performed Qinqiang Opera remixed with rock’n’roll, fueling the interest of young people.
Creating such a figure is not easy task. “The expression of Qinqiang Opera in this character must be accurate and vivid, which requires high standard when it comes to original painting desisgn, model making, character animation, just to name a few,” Zhang said.
“We hope to make her a spokesperson for Qinqiang Opera art and make related cartoons, movies and other diversified products in the future,” said Zhang, adding that they are developing more functions for the virtual figure, who is expected to interact with citizens via livestreaming.
The technology that is injected into the opera can also be found among cinematic techniques.Tapping her fingers to the rhythm of the music and singing along with actors, Xiao Jie, a 59-year-old opera fan, enjoys a 3D Qinqiang Opera film Three Drops of Blood. Regarded as a masterpiece in Qinqiang Opera, Three Drops of Blood, created in 1918 and deeply critical of pedantic and muddle-headed bureaucrats in feudal society, has been often frequented by fans over the past century.
“I watched a black-and-white film of the opera when I was young. At this time, watching it in a 3D form is truly intriguing. The audience can have a closer and clearer look at the performance,” recounted Xiao.
Chinese operas have long historical ties to movies. The first movie in China, The Battle of Dingjunshan, screened in 1905, was adapted from clips from Peking Opera. “Advanced cinematic techniques breathe new life into the time-honored opera, which is a typical epitome of the innovative development of traditional art,” said Cui Wei, secretary general of the China Theater Association.
12. The author mentions Qin Xiaoya at the beginning of the passage to introduce ________ .
A. a new real performer of Qinqiang Opera
B. the application of technology in the art of Qinqiang Opera
C. the origin of Qinqiang Opera
D. the relationship between Qinqiang Opera and movies
13. What does the underlined word “diversified” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. multifaceted B. appealing C. elegant D. tasteless
14. What is Xiao Jie’s attitude towards 3D form?
A. Ambiguous B. Doubtful C. Hopeful D. Tolerant
15. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To discuss the historical evolution of Qinqiang Opera in Northwest China.
B. To showcase how technology promotes innovative development of traditional opera.
C. To compare traditional stage performances with modern 3D cinematic techniques.
D. To criticize feudal bureaucrats through the analysis of Three Drops of Blood.

Today I found out my grandmother’s cancer took a turn for the worse and she had no more than 6 months to live. Although she lives across the country, the bond between us has always been strong. Her diagnosis (诊断) in November made me extremely upset. But after she had surgery to remove the cancer, we were hopeful until today, when her scans came out, showing that the cancer had spread to her liver. The doctor said treatment was no longer an option.
I was at work when I got the news. It was my mother who called me, her voice trembling with every word. I tried to comfort her, but the weight of the terrible news was insufferable. Both of us were choking back tears. The moment the phone was hung up, I stumbled (跌跌撞撞) outside to my car, took the driver’s seat and finally broke down in tears, grief (悲伤) pouring out of me in waves. I didn’t care who might hear—I just needed to let it out.
Outside the window it was like a busy party where people kept coming and going. The entrance of the store was crowded, with customers rushing in and out as usual. Some regular customers from our store must have seen me in that awkward moment, but I was too lost in my sadness to notice anyone around.
After what seemed like hours, I had to pull myself together, wiping my tears and taking deep breaths before returning to work. I mechanically went about my business with a forced smile, helping customers and stocking shelves, my mind a thousand miles away. Shortly after, I was approached by one of my colleagues, saying there was something to my car. I had him take it off my car and bring it in to me. It was a bunch of beautiful and delicate flowers.

I have always been proud of my handwriting, a skill I was taught in grade school. The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty.
Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive (草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists.
But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing.
Initially, I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A.” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”.
Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate.
In fact, I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote — in big block letters:
DEAR ALICE:
HI.
JOE.
I hope she gets the message.
4. What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method?
A. It is characterized by big flowing lines. B. It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists.
C. It was not allowed in students'homework. D. It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles.
5. What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive?
A. The popularity of block letters in recent times.
B. The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive.
C. His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards.
D. His English friend's suggestion on postcard design.
6. Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication?
A. To deliver his message clearly. B. To improve his handwriting skills.
C. To win praise from his friends. D. To show his passion for calligraphy.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. The wide use of cursive. B. The sad decline of cursive.
C. The value of preserving cursive. D. The technique of writing in cursive.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B

After nearly a decade of trying, Apple finally gave up its effort to produce an electric car last year, canceling a project that soaked up $10 billion. But last year in China, the electronics maker Xiaomi launched its first electric car after just three years of development and delivered 135,000 vehicles. It has vowed to double that number in 2025.
Xiaomi’s ability to succeed where Apple could not shows how thoroughly China has come to dominate the supply chain for electric vehicles. Chinese companies have mastered electric vehicle manufacturing. By tapping that infrastructure, Xiaomi was able to get components quickly and cheaply. And Xiaomi is not the only Chinese consumer electronics company that has branched out to electric vehicles. The telecommunications giant Huawei, which the U. S. government has targeted with sanctions and legal action for years, is making autonomous driving software. Huawei has teamed up with multiple Chinese automakers, including Seres Group and the state-owned firms SAIC Motor, BAIC and Chery.
Xiaomi’s first electric car was brought out last March: the SU7,a four-door sedan with artificial intelligence features that can help with parking, play movies for passengers and program Xiaomi home appliances from the road. Mr. Lei said it looks like a Porsche. But at $ 30,000, it’s a quarter of the price. While the SU7 earned Xiaomi just a small fraction of the sales of China’s top electric vehicle makers, it puts Xiaomi among the Chinese companies that are dealing a major blow to foreign automakers’ long command over China’s market for premium cars. In the year since the SU7 went on sale, Porsche deliveries in China were down nearly 30 percent.
Chinese electric vehicle companies have benefited from billions of dollars in government support, which has helped them gain control of the supply chain down to the very minerals inside the car batteries. This early edge helped two Chinese companies, BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology Company.
Xiaomi used this supply chain to its advantage. Its cars contain batteries from BYD and CATL. It was able to quickly start production by taking over a factory from Beijing Auto Group. Construction workers in Beijing are working around the clock on a second factory. All this manufacturing capacity helps Chinese electric vehicle firms move from development to production in far less time than traditional automakers in China, enabling them to bring new models to market quickly and focus on making software that they can continually update, said Stephen W. Dyer, head of Asia Automotive at AlixPartners.
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By listing examples. B. By stating opinions.
C. By making a contrast. D. By giving definitions.
9. Why does the author mention Apple’s failure?
A. To show Apple’s poor management. B. To prove electric car production is difficult.
C. To highlight China’s EV development. D. To compare it with Huawei’s situation.
10. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A. SU7’s price advantage. B. SU7’s features and influence.
C. Porsche’s decline in China. D. Xiaomi’s EV production plan.
11. How did Xiaomi start its electric car production quickly?
A. By developing new technology. B. By building its own factory.
C. By getting government support. D. By getting hold of a factory.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After nearly a decade of trying, Apple finally gave up its effort to produce an electric car last year, canceling a project that soaked up $10 billion. But last year in China, the electronics maker Xiaomi launched its first electric car after just three years of development and delivered 135,000 vehicles. (经过近十年的努力,苹果终于在去年放弃了生产电动汽车的努力,取消了一个耗资100亿美元的项目。但去年在中国,电子产品制造商小米推出了其首款电动汽车,经过短短三年的研发,交付了13.5万辆。)”可知,首段将苹果“十年造车失败”与小米“三年成功推出电动汽车”进行对比,通过对比引出“中国电动汽车供应链主导地位”的主题。故选C。

Qin Xiaoya, a virtual figure playing a young female role in Qinqiang Opera, has caught people’s attention since it made its debut in an art festival in Xi’an, capital of Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.
The design team employed 3D modeling to replicate the original clothes and accessories of the virtual actress. “To make her true to life, we went to great effort to reproduce her gestures and decorations with the real voice of the opera performer,” said Zhang Xi, a team member.
Qinqiang Opera, a Chinese folk opera originating in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-771 BC), continues to thrive in a vast region of Northwest China and was added to the country’s intangible cultural heritage list in 2006.
As a newcomer to this ancient art, Qin Xiaoya demonstrates a youthful image. In an introductory music video for the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival held in June, she performed Qinqiang Opera remixed with rock’n’roll, fueling the interest of young people.
Creating such a figure is not easy task. “The expression of Qinqiang Opera in this character must be accurate and vivid, which requires high standard when it comes to original painting desisgn, model making, character animation, just to name a few,” Zhang said.
“We hope to make her a spokesperson for Qinqiang Opera art and make related cartoons, movies and other diversified products in the future,” said Zhang, adding that they are developing more functions for the virtual figure, who is expected to interact with citizens via livestreaming.
The technology that is injected into the opera can also be found among cinematic techniques.Tapping her fingers to the rhythm of the music and singing along with actors, Xiao Jie, a 59-year-old opera fan, enjoys a 3D Qinqiang Opera film Three Drops of Blood. Regarded as a masterpiece in Qinqiang Opera, Three Drops of Blood, created in 1918 and deeply critical of pedantic and muddle-headed bureaucrats in feudal society, has been often frequented by fans over the past century.
“I watched a black-and-white film of the opera when I was young. At this time, watching it in a 3D form is truly intriguing. The audience can have a closer and clearer look at the performance,” recounted Xiao.
Chinese operas have long historical ties to movies. The first movie in China, The Battle of Dingjunshan, screened in 1905, was adapted from clips from Peking Opera. “Advanced cinematic techniques breathe new life into the time-honored opera, which is a typical epitome of the innovative development of traditional art,” said Cui Wei, secretary general of the China Theater Association.
12. The author mentions Qin Xiaoya at the beginning of the passage to introduce ________ .
A. a new real performer of Qinqiang Opera
B. the application of technology in the art of Qinqiang Opera
C. the origin of Qinqiang Opera
D. the relationship between Qinqiang Opera and movies
13. What does the underlined word “diversified” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. multifaceted B. appealing C. elegant D. tasteless
14 What is Xiao Jie’s attitude towards 3D form?
A. Ambiguous B. Doubtful C. Hopeful D. Tolerant
15. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To discuss the historical evolution of Qinqiang Opera in Northwest China.
B. To showcase how technology promotes innovative development of traditional opera.
C. To compare traditional stage performances with modern 3D cinematic techniques.
D. To criticize feudal bureaucrats through the analysis of Three Drops of Blood.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文简要介绍让我们深感自豪的杂交水稻之父袁隆平袁老的生平。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意:他在20世纪70年代开发了第一批杂交水稻品种,迄今为止一直被视为提高粮食产量和养活这个世界上人口最多的国家的民族英雄。根据时间状语in the 1970s,可知用一般过去时。故填developed。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:1930年9月,袁隆平出生于北京。在20世纪50年代,他在北京开始了他的农业研究生涯。根据句子结构,可知逗号前的内容为状语,句子主语Yuan与bear为被动关系,所以此处用非谓语动词的过去分词born表被动。故填Born。
3.考查名词性从句。句意:他经常在采访中说,他被迫增加中国的大米产量,因为他亲眼目睹的饥饿。分析句子结构可知,设空处及之后的内容为宾语从句,从句内容完整,成分齐全,所以此处用从属连词that引导该从句。故填that。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:“我一生的追求是确保所有人远离饥饿。”他曾说。根据句意可知,此处用动词不定式作表语表将来和目的。故填to ensure。
5.考查冠词。句意:在接下来的几十年里,袁隆平在自己的领域取得了一些重大突破。根据句意,此处表示在接下来的几十年,填the表特指。故填the。
6.考查名词复数。句意同上。根据句子ome of the most important 可知,此处用名词复数,构成one of + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数。故填breakthroughs。
7.考查介词。句意:袁在2004年被授予世界粮食奖,以表彰他“在30年内帮助中国从粮食缺乏转变为粮食安全的开创性研究”。短语from…to…,意为“从……到……”,结合句意,所以此处用介词from。故填from。
8.考查形容词最高级。句意:2019年。袁被授予共和国勋章,这是中国的最高荣誉,表彰他对中国粮食安全和农业科学发展,以及增加世界粮食产量的贡献。根据句中“the country's”,可知共和国勋章是国家最高荣誉,所以此处用形容词的最高级。故填highest。
9.考查形容词。句意同上。根据设空后的名词development,可知此处要用形容词来修饰名词。故填scientific。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。as well as“和”为并列连词,结合句中for his contribution to China's food security and 9 (scientist) development of agriculture, as well as ,所以此处是作介词for的宾语,用动名词。故填increasing。

47. 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。
Today I found out my grandmother’s cancer took a turn for the worse and she had no more than 6 months to live. Although she lives across the country, the bond between us has always been strong. Her diagnosis (诊断) in November made me extremely upset. But after she had surgery to remove the cancer, we were hopeful until today, when her scans came out, showing that the cancer had spread to her liver. The doctor said treatment was no longer an option.
I was at work when I got the news. It was my mother who called me, her voice trembling with every word. I tried to comfort her, but the weight of the terrible news was insufferable. Both of us were choking back tears. The moment the phone was hung up, I stumbled (跌跌撞撞) outside to my car, took the driver’s seat and finally broke down in tears, grief (悲伤) pouring out of me in waves. I didn’t care who might hear—I just needed to let it out.
Outside the window it was like a busy party where people kept coming and going. The entrance of the store was crowded, with customers rushing in and out as usual. Some regular customers from our store must have seen me in that awkward moment, but I was too lost in my sadness to notice anyone around.
After what seemed like hours, I had to pull myself together, wiping my tears and taking deep breaths before returning to work. I mechanically went about my business with a forced smile, helping customers and stocking shelves, my mind a thousand miles away. Shortly after, I was approached by one of my colleagues, saying there was something to my car. I had him take it off my car and bring it in to me. It was a bunch of beautiful and delicate flowers.

Beside was a card and I opened it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I phoned the number on the card.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Beside was a card and I opened it. On the card were the words, “We noticed your sadness and wanted to bring some sunshine. Sending you love and strength.” There was only a phone number at the bottom. I stared at it, a lump forming in my throat. The beautiful bouquet of lilies and daisies beside me released a sweet fragrance, as if trying to wrap me in a warm embrace. I couldn’t believe that a stranger had taken the time to offer comfort during my darkest hour.
I phoned the number on the card. A gentle voice answered on the second ring. “Hello?” she said. “This is the one who got your flowers” I replied, my voice thick with emotion. She introduced herself as Emily, a regular customer. “I saw you crying—lost my mom to cancer too,” she said softly. We talked about grief and small comforts. Her words soothed me like warm tea. “You’re not alone,” she said. Hanging up, I held the flowers, feeling a tiny spark of light in the darkness.
