As Casey told me，it was corporate knowledge and creativity 10.that made the Rainbow Bookstore continue to serve the community in a new way. Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Bookstores are fascinating places.That's because the books on the shelves can take you to magical lands，and help yon learn a foreign language or cook a delicious meal.But because technology develops rapidly and times change with it，many brick-and-mortar bookstores need to change to survive in the market.So sometimes you have to change your mind.A mobile bookstore that brings books around the country was the result.That is the case for Rita Collins，70，who dreamed of opening a bookstore after retiring from teaching. A business planning class from the American Booksellers Association convinced Collins to abandon her idea that she wanted to open a bookstore in the small town where she lives，which would not be sustainable.Eureka，Montana，located just seven miles from the Canadian border，only has a population of 1，517.Collins asked her instructors about a traveling bookstore on wheels and they were skeptical.But she persevered. Collins was inspired by Dylans Mobile Bookstore，a traveling bookstore in Wales run by Jeff Towns.She contacted Jeff for advice but she was largely on her own when it came to building her bookstore.First，she had to find a vehicle large enough to stand in.Then she had to have it refitted with shelves that would hold the books at a 15-degree angle so that they would stay in place while in transit.Collins named her bookstore St Rita's Amazing Traveling Bookstore，which has been on the road since 2015. At first，she drove through Montana and then she made her first cross-country trip in 2016.After she retired in 2017，it became a full-time job all year round.Collins and her mobile bookstore have visited 30 states，stopping at festivals and events along the way.While the locations change，some things always stay the same.Collins loves meeting people and making connections.While she loves what she does，Collins doesn't think she can keep doing it.In several years，she hopes to pass her traveling bookstore on to another bibliophile who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。随着时代的变迁、科技的发展，许多实体书店为了在市场上存活都要作出相应的改变，移动书店随之出现。文章介绍了Collins创办的移动书店，她已经驾驶她的书店走遍了美国的30个州。 1．Why did Collins abandon the idea of opening a bookstore? A．It was not approved. B．It was not promising. C．It would be out of date. D．It would cost a lot of money. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，美国书商协会的一门商业规划课程说服了Collins放弃在她居住的小镇上开书店的想法，因为这是不可持续的。且Collins居住的地方是个偏远小镇，人口不足2000人，在镇里开书店没有发展前景。故选B。 答案　B 2．Why were the shelves designed at a 15-degree angle? A．To keep the bookstore's balance. B．To beautify the mobile bookstore. C．To protect the books from falling down. D．To make full use of space of the shelves. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段的“Then she had to have it refitted with shelves that would hold the books at a 15-degree angle so that they would stay in place while in transit.”可知，移动书店的每一层书架倾斜15度角，目的是防止书在运行过程中掉落。故选C。 答案　C 3．Which of the following can best describe Collins? A．Generous and lovely. B．Determined and social. C．Merciful and delightful. D．Intelligent and reasonable. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句话可知，Colins向她的导师们询问关于“移动书店”的问题，他们表示怀疑，但是她还是坚持了下去，这说明她意志坚定，且根据最后一段中的“Collins loves meeting people and making connections.”可知，Collins喜欢与人交往和建立联系。故选B。 答案　B 4．What does the underlined word “bibliophile” in the last paragraph mean? A．An editor. B．A publisher. C．A book lover. D．A famous writer. 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的定语从句“who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road”可知，他们有共同的兴趣，并且会一直坚持下去。由此可推测，该词义为“书籍爱好者”。故选C。 答案　C B (2024·辽宁鞍山一中月考)On a recent afternoon，Sarah Levy picked up an empty pickle jar (腌菜罐子) from a shelf in her store，sniffed it，and then suggested a customer fill it with soap.There's a take-a-jar，leave-a-jar policy at Cleenland，Levy's new “low-waste，no-shame” store that lets shoppers stock up on cleaning supplies using their own bottles.And as an early adopter of a new shift in American consumption habits，she has become expert at getting the pickle smell out of glass.“This is not a tendency；it's a rebirth of interest in reuse instead of recycling，” said Levy. As consumers seek to limit the waste they create，more local entrepreneurs like Levy are stepping in to serve them and have begun opening stores—physical，mobile，and online.Boston General Store is selling a growing variety of zero-waste decorations.Make & Mend sells second-hand arts and crafts in Somerville's Bow Market. Julia Wilson，who tracks business sustainability (可持续性) efforts for research firm Nielsen，says 73% of consumers are looking to shift their consumption habits to reduce their environmental impact，and she predicts that they'll spend $150 billion on sustainable goods by 2024.“It opens the door for new entrepreneurs who are thinking about things differently，” she said.Some entrepreneurs are using a “circular economy” model in which goods are delivered in strong packages and they are sent back when they're empty.Boston-based ThreeMain opened earlier this year selling cleaning products in reusable aluminum bottles.The most well-funded attempt，Loop，sells 100 major brands in reusable containers. Levy recognizes the difficulty involved in changing consumer habits，but she says the model works because she's selling necessities.And she's hopeful，as zero-waste shops have exploded abroad in Britain，Canada，and particularly in Australia，where the non-profit Plastic Free Foundation launched the Plastic Free July campaign，which has become a global phenomenon. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。为了减少生活垃圾对环境的影响，人们的消费习惯已经发生变化，所以企业销售的东西也应做出改变以迎合人们的消费习惯。事实上，越来越多的公司也看准了这一点，销售的产品也以能够重复使用为特色。 5．Why are Boston General Store and Make & Mend mentioned according to the passage? A．To show many local companies have taken part in the low-waste campaign. B．To tell us many entrepreneurs ignore their customers' consumption habits. C．To prove that it is important to offer diverse products to the local customers. D．To prove that many companies have taken action to expand their business. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Levy's new ‘low-waste，no-shame’ store” “an early adopter of a new shift in American consumption habits”和“This is not a tendency；it's a rebirth of interest in reuse instead of recycling”可知，Levy在践行少垃圾生活方式，提倡物品的可重复使用。紧接着，作者在第二段指出更多像Levy的企业家加入了控制垃圾的行动中，下文列举了Boston General Store销售零垃圾饰品和Make & Mend售卖二手手工艺品。由此可知，作者提及Boston General Store和Make & Mend是为了说明许多当地企业已加入零垃圾运动之中，为环保做出贡献。故选A。 答案　A 6．According to Julia Wilson，what should entrepreneurs do in the future? A．Pay more attention to the quality of their goods. B．Promote new-branded goods on a regular basis. C．Make sure their goods are affordable and reusable. D．Provide sustainable goods for the market. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“she predicts that they'll spend $150 billion on sustainable goods by 2024”可知，Julia Wilson预测未来顾客对可持续性物品的需求会很大，因此未来的企业发展需要关注的是为顾客提供可持续的(即可重复使用的)物品以满足市场需求。故选D。 答案　D 7．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．Necessities are always in great demand in the market. B．Non-profit organizations favor zero-waste lifestyles most. C．Levy believes zero-waste shops will be accepted worldwide. D．Countries should work together to change consumer habits. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“she's hopeful，as zero-waste shops have exploded abroad in Britain，Canada，and particularly in Australia，where the non-profit Plastic Free Foundation launched the Plastic Free July campaign，which has become a global phenomenon”可知，Levy对零垃圾商店的前景很乐观，因为它们现在已经出现在英国、加拿大及澳大利亚，且澳大利亚的Plastic Free July运动在全球流行。由此可推知，Levy认为零垃圾商店会在全世界范围内得到认可。故选C。 答案　C 8．How does the author support his opinion in the text? A．By giving examples. B．By analyzing causes. C．By making comparisons. D．By making predictions. 解析　推理判断题。纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍的是零垃圾生活方式能为企业提供新的商机，而文中提到的Cleenland，Boston General Store，Make & Mend，ThreeMain和Loop都是作者用来证明这一观点所举的具体事例。由此可知，作者是通过举例子的方式来支撑其观点的。故选A。 答案　A Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·石家庄教学质检)In 2019，I was staying at a fitness camp in Thailand.After doing 2.5 hours of kickboxing，I began to cough.Thinking it was probably from the intense workout，I brushed off the 1 ． But over the next few hours，I started struggling to 2 breathe and my heart began to 3 ．I panicked and decided to get help.As I was 4 myself to the front desk，a Thai woman saw me and asked what was wrong.I tried to 5 that I couldn't breathe.
