If you have a full wardrobe (衣橱) but still feel you don’t have anything to wear, you might want to build yourself a capsule (胶囊) wardrobe! So what is it? Put simply, a capsule wardrobe is a small part of clothes that complement (补充) each other, therefore they can change with each other. The key to a capsule wardrobe is basic clothing in solid colors, such as light shirts, better in neutrals (colors not bright or strong, such as grey or light brown), because they are easier to match. Think of the possibility of a simple pair of denim jeans. They can be matched with training shoes and a T-shirt for a casual look; or if you want to look more fashionable, match them with a blazer paired with heels. Fashion bloggers have also talked about timeless classics—think of a wonderful black handbag for any situation that won’t go out of style. But why might it be beneficial to build a capsule wardrobe? Well, by limiting your choices, it can become much easier to choose what to wear, but there is another good point, too—it can cut down the amount of fast fashion. Fast fashion refers to clothes which are fashionable for just a short time, so they are quickly replaced by newer fashion. This results in cheap and poor-quality clothing which has large environmental costs as waste goes to landfill. Then there is more and more pollution. According to UK clothes waste charity TRAID, a piece of clothing is worn just 10 times on average before being thrown away. So, having a capsule wardrobe with long-lasting and high-quality clothes should help lower this, even if it means paying more in the first place. Fashion and lifestyle magazine, Vogue, said “building an excellent capsule wardrobe takes time and patience”. But, if you want to cut down waste and have some extra time in the morning, it is time to start building! 1.Which of the following is TRUE about Paragraph 2? A. A black handbag can be matched with any clothes. B. The latest clothing is the key to a capsule wardrobe. C. A simple pair of denim jeans is enough for any situation. D. Clothes in a capsule wardrobe can take the place of each other. 2.What does the underlined word “beneficial” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Necessary at work. B. Helpful and useful. C. Easy to understand. D. Pretty and wonderful. 3.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The capsule wardrobe results in fast fashion. B. Building a capsule wardrobe is expensive at first. C. The capsule wardrobe is good for the environment. D. It’s much easier to choose what to wear with a capsule wardrobe. 4.What’s the best title for this passage? A. Paying More, Getting More B. Clothes in Capsule Wardrobe C. Fewer Clothes and Less Waste D. Build Your Capsule Wardrobe Now 完形填空（难度：★★★★） One of my favorite things about spring is the arrival of different kinds of birds.

Well, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru (秘鲁). Rainbow Mountain, also known as Mountain of Seven Colors, is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes in Cusco. As its name suggests, the mountain has different colors. It attracts many tourists every year. But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt, the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colors. If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when there is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes the climbing more difficult and the colors will look duller (更暗淡). The best time starts in March and lasts for nine months, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny day will probably stop you from taking nice photos. To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco—a province in the south of Peru. Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This is really the best way, but the trip is very challenging, because the mountain sits at a very high altitude about 5,200 meters above sea level. So bring enough water and take your time. 1.How does the writer start the passage? A. By listing a fact. B. By telling a story. C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example. 2.What can we learn about Rainbow Mountain? A. It has seven different colors. B. It was covered by ice in the past. C. It’s a man-made wonder. D. It’s the most visited place of Peru. 3.Which of the following is the best time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain? A. At noon of a cold day in December. B. On the evening of a rainy day in August. C. On the afternoon of a snowy day in January. D. On the morning of a sunny day in September. 4.What’s the structure of the passage? A. ①—②③④—⑤ B. ①—②③—④—⑤ C. ①②—③④—⑤ D. ①②③—④—⑤ 5.What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain the reason why it’s called Rainbow Mountain. B. To tell us the best time to travel to Rainbow Mountain. C. To attract people to Rainbow Mountain for a trip. D. To say how to get to Rainbow Mountain in Cusco. 阅读七选五（难度：★★★★） A new world record has been set for the world’s heaviest pumpkin.

These solar terms follow the changes of the seasons and the weather. “Start of Spring”, “Start of Summer”, “Start of Autumn” and “Start of Winter” mark the beginning of each season. Therefore, they divide the year into four seasons. Each of the seasons is then divided into six parts, and each part lasts about 15 days. The solar terms can fall on different dates. Start of Winter usually begins on November 7 or November 8. Here are some customs (习俗) we Chinese people often have during this period. Drinking mutton soup In many places in China, there’s a tradition of drinking mutton soup on this day, and you won’t fear the cold throughout the winter. Mutton is rich in fats, proteins and calories, making it a good choice when the weather gets cold. Having a bowl of mutton soup not only warms the weak body but also provides a pleasant experience. Eating tangyuan Eating tangyuan is a traditional custom, especially popular in the south of the Yangtze River. Tangyuan is a must-have food for people there, because “Yuan” means “getting together”. Eating dumplings In many parts of northern China, it is a custom to eat dumplings. People in northern China eat dumplings on this day because dumplings have the meaning of “cold”, and there is still a folk saying that goes “Eat dumplings on Start of Winter, or your ears will be frostbitten”. Making winter wine Start of Winter is a good day to start making yellow wine in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, as the water is usually clearer at this time and the low temperature restricts the growth of germs, perfect for the flavor during the fermenting process. Besides these customs, we should also pay attention to some other things during this time. As the weather gets colder and colder, we need to wear gloves, hats and warm cotton-padded shoes to keep ourselves warm. We also need to do exercise, such as choosing some indoor sports to keep our body strong. 1.What does “Start of Winter” mark? 2.Where does Start of Winter fall in the sequence (顺序) of solar terms? 3.How many customs are mentioned in this passage? 4.What’s the weather like during this time? 5.What do you often do during this time? 首字母填空2（难度：★★★★） Heilongjiang has become one of the most popular places with visitors in winter.
