For thousands of years, people have tried to find ways to keep food for longer. In the past, people needed to save fresh food for times when it was 1 to find, such as the winter.

Drying is the oldest 2 of food storage. Without water in the food, the bacteria can’t grow.
In ancient times in hot countries, people simply left fruit and meat outside in the sun and the wind until all its natural water was gone. Drying fruit sometimes produces a completely new kind of food. 3 , grapes turn into raisins (葡萄干).
Salting
Bacteria cannot grow in a very salty environment. In many countries, salted fish or meat has become a traditional food and people still eat it today. For example, in Portugal the national dish is salted cod fish (鳕鱼), and although people could buy fresh fish, they 4 to eat the salty fish.
Canning
In 1809, an inventor named Nicolas Appert discovered a more modern way to make food last longer. He found that heating food and then sealing (密封) it makes the food last for months. This is because the bacteria are killed at high 5 and cannot grow again without air.
Freezing
In the 1900s a scientist called Clarence Birdseye went to the Arctic. He noticed that fish froze quickly after he caught it. Months later, when he cooked the fish, it still tasted fresh.

The “lipstick effect” is an interesting economic phenomenon (现象). During economic downturns, people buy fewer expensive things, such as cars or houses. They stop spending much money on costly products. However, they still buy small, cheap but nice things like lipsticks, skin care products, and small beauty items. These small luxuries (奢侈品) make them feel happy and confident 1 costing too much.
Economists first found this trend in the 1930s during the Great Depression (经济大萧条时期). At that time, many people had little money and lived a hard life. But 2 , sales of cosmetics and small beauty products went up. People could not pay for expensive things, so they chose something cheaper to keep a good mood and 3 their everyday life. In recent years, this trend has become very common. Because of economic 4 , many families choose “downgraded consumption (消费降级).” They cut down on big costs but still enjoy small, affordable purchases (可承受的购买). A lipstick costing around 200 yuan brings great 5 , maybe greater than a smartphone priced 8,000—9,000 yuan. For example, from March 1 to 5 this year, sales of show tickets rose by 60%, compared to last year.
Many shops and companies have noticed this change. They make more cheap but nice products and tell customers that these items offer good value. During difficult economic times, cosmetics usually sell well, while sales of luxuries drop quickly.
The lipstick effect shows 6 people change their spending habits in a smart way. It reflects a balance between financial practicality (实用性) and the human need for enjoyment and self-expression.

Shops have all kinds of tricks to get you to buy. They are like traps to catch you. If you know what those traps are, you can avoid falling into them.
Loss leaders (亏本促销商品)
Step one is to get you into the shop. The 1 that they do this is by advertising a product that you need at a crazy low price. The price might even be below cost. They 2 lose money when you buy that milk or those diapers, but you come in for that. Once in the shop you are sure to get the other things that you want and need, aren’t you? Those are called loss leaders.
The expensive one makes yours seem reasonable
You’re looking for a pair of cheap shoes. The ones you want cost more than you 3 , but right next to it is a very expensive one. Suddenly yours seems pretty reasonable. You decide to buy it 4 some people are spending even more money on jackets. You’ve been caught out! The placing of products is very important.
They give you a place to rest
You are tired from shopping and are looking for a place to sit. The shop has a nice place to get a cheap coffee or cake. You take a break and then you are 5 to shop again. That is just what all shops want. They even provide places for your children to play so that parents can shop more easily.
That “99” really 6 people to buy
You probably don’t believe that just changing a price from $100 to $99.99 can make a difference. But studies have proven that it is serious. So be careful when you shop.
Avoid those traps so that you won’t spend too much.

Fashion is like a language that everyone can understand. It is not just about clothes; it is about culture, art, and ideas. Today, international fashion is becoming more and more global. This means styles from one country 1 quickly become popular in another.
For example, a type of hat from Korea might be seen on the streets of London, or a bag from France might be loved by teenagers in New York. The Internet and social media help these styles 2 around the world fast. Young people especially enjoy 3 different fashion trends and creating their own unique look.
However, some people are also thinking about the 4 of “fast fashion”. Fast fashion means producing cheap clothes quickly to follow new trends. But this can be bad for the environment. 5 , many designers and companies are now trying to make clothes in a more sustainable way. They use recycled materials and make sure the workers are treated fairly.
So, when we choose what to wear, we are not just making a fashion statement. We are also making a choice about the kind of world we want to live in. It’s important to remember that real style isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good and 6 good, too.

Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo cloth. “This type of handmade cloth is extremely rare. You can 1 buy it at the market,” she said.

Almost every Dong woman over 40 has a tub for indigo dye (染料). The cloth has to be put in the dye for many rounds to gain the rich colour. The process of colouring usually takes two weeks.
Yang holds out her purple and wrinkled (有皱纹的) hands. “They say she who has the darkest hands makes the best cloth,” she says proudly.

Goldie leads the pack of hungry goats ready for their daily work. These animals eat dry plants in forests and fields to help stop wildfires in California. Wildfires are a big danger to parks, communities and open land. They spread fast and burn for weeks or even months. The 1 has become worse in recent years.
Goats eat the dry brush that easily catches fire. Targeted grazing (定向放牧) is a smart way to 2 fires before they start. Carl McCosker watches over the goats. He began with only four goats to clear neighbor’s land. Now, his herd (羊群) has grown because many places need their help.
Why are there more fires now? Scientists say summers are hotter and winters are 3 . Rain is less common than in the past. Green plants make it hard for fire to start, but dry plants help fires spread. That’s why clearing brush is so important.
Carl and his team use movable pens (围栏) called sets to guide the goats. Each set is a certain area that needs clearing. The goats eat the dry plants while the team sets up the next pen. Once the goats finish eating in one set, they 4 the next until the whole area is clear.
Carl’s 120 goats work for six months each year. The goats eat from morning until night, like little eating machines. This continuous 5 to eat helps clear land quickly. A group of 100 goats can clear an entire acre—the size of a football field—in just one day. During the rainy season, the goats stay in barns. In spring, new baby goats are born and soon join the work.
Carl believes targeted grazing is a natural and low-cost method. What’s more, it is better than using big machines that pollute the air. He works with family, friends, and dogs to protect the goats from wild animals. “There’s no better feeling than knowing you’re making a real difference,” Carl says with a smile. He is 6 to help keep forests and people safe from wildfires.
1.A.attention B.solution C.situation D.position
2.A.prevent B.pretend C.protect D.keep
3.A.wetter B.drier C.colder D.warmer
4.A.look forward to B.go back to C.come up with D.move on to
5.A.arrangement B.amusement C.requirement D.development
6.A.confident B.proud C.excited D.satisfied

Los Angeles, a beautiful city between mountains and the ocean, has always faced risks from natural disasters like wildfires. Recently, climate change has made these fires even worse. Scientists explain that extreme weather patterns—such as heavy rains followed by long droughts (干旱)—create 1 conditions for fires. The rains help plants grow wildly, and the droughts turn them into dry fuel. Strong Santa Ana winds then 2 the fire to spread rapidly.
Human activities also increase the danger. Many old houses are built with wood, a material that catches fire easily. Although environmental laws aim to protect nature, people are sometimes unwilling to remove the dry plants near their homes. Worse still, people continue building houses in risky foothill areas surrounded by bushes that are burnt 3 .
By January 16th, the wildfires had killed 25 people and destroyed over 12,000 buildings. The damage cost over $50 billion, making it the most expensive wildfire disaster in U.S. history. Thick smoke filled the air, forcing schools to close and leaving many locals 4 with difficulty. The fires also harmed wildlife and turned green forests into black wastelands. Rescue teams worked day and night, but the fire remained uncontrollable for weeks.
Experts say we need some preparation to prevent future disasters. 5 , building fireproof (防火的) houses using materials like metal or concrete (混凝土) is essential. Governments should support people to avoid building in high-risk zones and update city plans to create firebreaks. Clearing dry plants regularly and replanting fireproof trees can also help. Most importantly, this disaster teaches us that humans must learn to live in harmony (和谐) with 6 instead of refusing to pay attention to its power.
Though Los Angeles will always be a popular place to live, its story warns the world: getting used to climate change is not just important—it is necessary for survival.

【导语】本文介绍了贵州侗族人制作靛蓝布的传统技艺,讲述其传承现状与保护措施。
1.句意:你几乎无法在市场上买到它。
上文提到“This type of handmade cloth is extremely rare”,表示这种布极为稀有,hardly“几乎不”,契合稀有难买的语境。usually“通常”、easily“容易地”、often“经常”,都与“rare”的语义矛盾。
2.句意:这项技艺由母亲传给女儿,代代相传。
上文提到“making indigo cloth has a long tradition”,制作靛蓝布是一项传统技艺,skill“技艺”,契合语境。story“故事”、food“食物”、tool“工具”,都不符合“代代相传的制作靛蓝布的内容”。
3.句意:然而,这种制作靛蓝布的传统方式如今正面临危险。
前文介绍靛蓝布的传统传承,后文说它濒临消失,however“然而”表转折,衔接前后文意。by the way“顺便说”、in addition“此外”、as a result“结果”,无法形成转折关系。
4.句意:当地官员想要拯救这项传统。
空后提到“They are trying to change young people’s attitude towards it”,说明官员们在采取措施保护传统,save“拯救”,契合语境。treat“对待”、change“改变”、prevent“阻止”,都不符合“保护传承传统”的意图。
5.句意:侗族人认为靛蓝布和大米一样重要。
空后提到“Many Dong women spend countless hours making the cloth”,说明靛蓝布在侗族人心中地位很高,important“重要的”,契合语境。interesting“有趣的”、expensive“昂贵的”、rare“稀有的”,都不符合“和大米同等地位”的语境。
6.句意:捶打布料的声音常常唤醒整个村庄。
上文提到“They rise and start working very early in the morning”,说明清晨捶布的声音会吵醒村庄,wakes up“唤醒”,契合语境。keeps away“远离”、takes up“占据”、turns over“翻转”,都和捶布声音的效果无关。

Bacteria cannot grow in a very salty environment. In many countries, salted fish or meat has become a traditional food and people still eat it today. For example, in Portugal the national dish is salted cod fish (鳕鱼), and although people could buy fresh fish, they 4 to eat the salty fish.
Canning
In 1809, an inventor named Nicolas Appert discovered a more modern way to make food last longer. He found that heating food and then sealing (密封) it makes the food last for months. This is because the bacteria are killed at high 5 and cannot grow again without air.
Freezing
In the 1900s a scientist called Clarence Birdseye went to the Arctic. He noticed that fish froze quickly after he caught it. Months later, when he cooked the fish, it still tasted fresh. He realised that freezing food 6 the growth of bacteria. He invented a way of fast-freezing food. Frozen food was first sold in 1930 and was very popular, especially in North America.

The Dong people (侗族人) and their indigo cloth (靛蓝色布)
Yang Xiuying, 74, sits at a wooden loom (织布机). As her fingers pass the shuttle (梭子) back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life.
Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo cloth. “This type of handmade cloth is extremely rare. You can 1 buy it at the market,” she said.
For the Dong people in Guizhou, making indigo cloth has a long tradition. The 2 has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth.
This traditional way of making indigo cloth, unfortunately, is now in danger. It will disappear slowly in the modern industrial society. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have 3 to big cities to find better jobs.
Local officials want to save the tradition. They are trying to change young people’s 4 towards it. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home.

Almost every Dong woman over 40 has a tub for indigo dye (染料). The cloth has to be put in the dye for many rounds to gain the rich colour. The process of colouring usually takes two weeks.
Yang holds out her purple and wrinkled (有皱纹的) hands. “They say she who has the darkest hands makes the best cloth,” she says proudly.

Goldie leads the pack of hungry goats ready for their daily work. These animals eat dry plants in forests and fields to help stop wildfires in California. Wildfires are a big danger to parks, communities and open land. They spread fast and burn for weeks or even months. The 1 has become worse in recent years.
Goats eat the dry brush that easily catches fire. Targeted grazing (定向放牧) is a smart way to 2 fires before they start. Carl McCosker watches over the goats. He began with only four goats to clear neighbor’s land. Now, his herd (羊群) has grown because many places need their help.
Why are there more fires now? Scientists say summers are hotter and winters are 3 . Rain is less common than in the past. Green plants make it hard for fire to start, but dry plants help fires spread. That’s why clearing brush is so important.
Carl and his team use movable pens (围栏) called sets to guide the goats. Each set is a certain area that needs clearing. The goats eat the dry plants while the team sets up the next pen. Once the goats finish eating in one set, they 4 the next until the whole area is clear.
Carl’s 120 goats work for six months each year. The goats eat from morning until night, like little eating machines. This continuous 5 to eat helps clear land quickly. A group of 100 goats can clear an entire acre—the size of a football field—in just one day. During the rainy season, the goats stay in barns. In spring, new baby goats are born and soon join the work.
Carl believes targeted grazing is a natural and low-cost method. What’s more, it is better than using big machines that pollute the air. He works with family, friends, and dogs to protect the goats from wild animals. “There’s no better feeling than knowing you’re making a real difference,” Carl says with a smile. He is 6 to help keep forests and people safe from wildfires.

Los Angeles, a beautiful city between mountains and the ocean, has always faced risks from natural disasters like wildfires. Recently, climate change has made these fires even worse. Scientists explain that extreme weather patterns—such as heavy rains followed by long droughts (干旱)—create 1 conditions for fires. The rains help plants grow wildly, and the droughts turn them into dry fuel. Strong Santa Ana winds then 2 the fire to spread rapidly.
Human activities also increase the danger. Many old houses are built with wood, a material that catches fire easily. Although environmental laws aim to protect nature, people are sometimes unwilling to remove the dry plants near their homes. Worse still, people continue building houses in risky foothill areas surrounded by bushes that are burnt 3 .
By January 16th, the wildfires had killed 25 people and destroyed over 12,000 buildings. The damage cost over $50 billion, making it the most expensive wildfire disaster in U.S. history. Thick smoke filled the air, forcing schools to close and leaving many locals 4 with difficulty. The fires also harmed wildlife and turned green forests into black wastelands. Rescue teams worked day and night, but the fire remained uncontrollable for weeks.
Experts say we need some preparation to prevent future disasters. 5 , building fireproof (防火的) houses using materials like metal or concrete (混凝土) is essential. Governments should support people to avoid building in high-risk zones and update city plans to create firebreaks. Clearing dry plants regularly and replanting fireproof trees can also help. Most importantly, this disaster teaches us that humans must learn to live in harmony (和谐) with 6 instead of refusing to pay attention to its power.
Though Los Angeles will always be a popular place to live, its story warns the world: getting used to climate change is not just important—it is necessary for survival.
