A
Four Independent Bookstores We Love
Daunt Books
Founded in 1990 by British businessman James Daunt, Daunt Books has handful of locations across London, all worth a visit, but the Marylebone branch — in a former Edwardian bookshop — is particularly appealing. It is set in a long, light-filled three-story space with oak balconies (橡木阳台) and a coloured glass window. So whether you’re after a guidebook, nonfiction, or something escapist, you really lose yourself in your chosen destination.
Bookmark
Opened in 1972, Bookmark has been Charlottetown’s independent bookstore of note for more than five decades. The locally owned spot is a favorite not only for its book selection, of course, but also for its strong sense of community — everyone who shops here is a friend. If you’re not sure what you read next, check the bookseller introductions on the website, find the person who shares your interests, and go with their personalized suggestions.
Boekhandel Dominicanen
It is housed in a 13th-century church in Maastricht, near the southeastern border with Belgium. Opened in 2014, the store still maintains the coloured glass windows, stone-vaulted ceilings, and fine wall paintings. Boekhandel Dominicanen’s collection includes thousands of new and second-hand books in Dutch and English, and a music department with CDs, DVDs, and records.
Word on the Water
Transformed from a 1920s Dutch boat, the floating bookshop sits along the Regent’s Canal Towpath and has brought joy to Londoners for over a decade. It looks so much like a setting from The Wind in the Willows that you may expect the bookseller to be an anthropomorphic (拟人化的) badger (獾) smoking a pipe. It offers a range of books, from brand new releases to older novels. It’s a delightful spot, offering seating along the nearby path where visitors can enjoy their new purchases, often accompanied by jazz bands performing on the rooftop of the boat.
21.What makes the Marylebone branch stand out in all Daunt Books’ branches?
A. The excellent service. B. The convenient location.
C. The wide collection of books. D. The wonderful decorative style.
22.Which bookstore has been operating for the longest period of time?
A. Bookmark. B. Daunt Books
C. Word on the Water. D. Boekhandel Dominicanen.
23.What can visitors do when visiting Word on the Water?
A. Act roles in novels. B. Listen to live music.
C. Watch wonderful movies. D. Travel around London by boat.
B
Jaden Anthony, a boy from Brooklyn, New York, was born with a disease called diabetes (糖尿病), a condition that often leaves him feeling thirsty. Deeply aware of the importance of clean water, he became concerned when he learned of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
In 2014, the city began using water that contained dangerous levels of lead (铅), which is harmful to all, especially children. Even small amounts could cause diseases and affect learning abilities. Therefore, Jaden wanted to do something to help the kids in Flint.
Being a comic book fan, Jaden decided to create his own to raise awareness about clean water and donate funds. “Kid Brooklyn,” he explained in an interview, “aims to make both kids and adults recognize global dangers.”
In the first book of a series, the main character Kid Brooklyn and his friends are given an unusual Sun Stone that helps them develop super powers. They use those powers to keep the planet clean and safe. Jaden works with illustrators to bring the characters and stories to life. Jaden was twelve years old when his first book was published in October 2017. A dollar from every book Jaden sells is donated to Green for All, an organization to bring clean, fresh water to the families in Flint.
Future issues of the comic will promote different environmental causes. Jaden wants to encourage children all over the world to become scientists and engineers who can fix the problems caused by climate change. He also has a message for the kids of the world who don't have the same access to clean water as he has. "Don't get sad. Don't lose any hope. We got you."
24. What made Jaden take action to help the children?
A. He visited Brooklyn on holiday. B. His learning abilities were affected.
C. He noticed water pollution in Flint. D. His disease became more serious.
25. What is mainly written about the kids in the first book?
A. Their problem. B. Their donation.
C. Their friendship. D. Their contribution.
26. What can be learned about future comic issues?
A. They will inspire scientists. B. They will offer climate solutions.
C. They will target diabetes research. D. They will support more green efforts.
27. Which of the following could best describe Jaden?
A. Caring. B. Intelligent. C. Humorous. D. Grateful.
C
Pumpkins are popular symbols of autumn: When pumpkin spice lattes appear, we know summer is ending. After enjoying pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, we soon prepare for winter holidays. In between, jack-o’-lanterns become the stars of Halloween. These seasonal vegetables also make us think of simpler times and the charm of small family farms. As one historian notes, “People are buying these things because of these very old-fashioned ideas.”
The word “pumpkin” has an interesting journey. It didn't always refer to a specific plant, but more to a shape of squash. While the word itself has European roots, the plant’s true home is the Americas. Thousands of years ago, native people in Mexico began farming different types of squash that looked like what we now call pumpkins. When European settlers arrived, they found pumpkins a useful food source, easy to grow and store.
However, the word “pumpkin” also has a surprising past. Not long after it first appeared in English in the 1600s, it became a way to insult people. For women, it was often used to suggest they were driven by natural desires rather than wisdom. For men, it meant they were empty-headed, a term even used for politicians for centuries. By the late 1600s, calling someone a “pumpkin” meant they were conceited or stupid.
Fortunately, by the late 19th century, the meaning of “pumpkin” began to change. It became a sweet term of affection for children. As more Americans moved from farms to cities, pumpkins also became an influential symbol of traditional country life, connecting people to an idealized past. Today, this cultural history continues to grow. Small farmers use pumpkins to create inviting “agrarian wonderlands” that draw visitors, helping to develop the very small family farms they represent.
28. What does “old-fashioned ideas” in Paragraph 1 suggest?
A. People expect to enjoy pies.
B. People prefer connection to traditions.
C. Pumpkins are a must-have decoration for Halloween.
D. Pumpkins are favourite seasonal vegetables.
29. Which place is the pumpkin native to?
A. Europe. B. Mexico. C. Americas. D. Britain.
30. What does the underlined word “insult” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Speak highly of. B. Show no respect to.
C. Pay no attention to. D. Take control of.
31. How is the passage mainly organized?
A. By comparing pumpkins’ wide uses in different nations.
B. By listing pumpkin cooking ways in the history.
C. By explaining causes and effects of pumpkins’ popularity.
D. By following pumpkins’ historical progression and meaning changes.
D
The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who's most likely to use AI in their daily lives? Many think it's the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works – who are most eager to adopt it.
Surprisingly, a new research, published in the Journal of Marketing, finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption the "lower literacy-higher receptivity" link (低识字率—高接受度). This link exists across different groups, backgrounds and even countries. For instance, our analysis (分析) of data from market research company Ipsos across 27 countries shows that people in nations with lower average AI literacy are more receptive towards AI adoption than those in nations with higher literacy.
The reason behind this link lies in how AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost amazing — like it's crossing into human land. Of course, AI doesn't actually have human qualities. A chatbot might create an empathetic (共情的) response, but it doesn't feel empathy (共鸣). People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this, making the technology less mysterious. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.
The lower literacy-higher receptivity link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people are more likely to ask for emotional support or consulting. When it comes to tasks that don't need human-like qualities, such as analyzing test results, the pattern changes. To make the most of AI, businesses, educators and policymakers need to make this balance. And ideally, this will happen with respect that inspires many people to use this new technology.
32. Who are more likely to use AI in daily lives?
A. People who are tech-savvy. B. People in developed countries.
C. People with higher average AI literacy. D. People with less knowledge about AI.
33. How does the author prove the "lower literacy-higher receptivity" link?
A. By giving examples of AI applications.
B. By doing experiments on the use of AI.
C. By analyzing data from a market research company.
D. By interviewing people with different AI knowledge levels.
34. Why might people with low literacy about AI find it "magical"?
A. They think AI can feel empathy like humans do.
B. They do not understand how AI works.
C. They have seen AI perform tasks better than humans.
D. They are more likely to use AI for emotional support.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI in Life: Who Uses It? B. AI Use: The Hidden Magic
C. AI Tools: Tech-savvy's Choice D. AI's Future: A Threat or An Opportunity?

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead._____________________________
