B Brands teaming up With a habit of drinking coffee on weekends while doing schoolwork, Wu Zibo, a 17-year-old student from Beijing No. 4 High School ordered a Moutai-flavored coffee (茅台味拿铁). “I wonder how my father’s favourite Chinese liquor (白酒) would taste with my favourite coffee. ” The collaboration (合作) between Moutai and Luckin Coffee has interested many people. It sold 5.42 million cups and made 100 million yuan just on Sept 4, China Daily reported. Moutai has tried many ways in recent years to be more creative, such as by bringing out Moutai ice cream and canvas (帆布) bags. This creative collaboration lets Moutai make its brand younger. The collaboration makes the market bigger and brings something more innovative (创新的). In 2023, China’s collaboration market grew to over 100 billion yuan and may reach 300 billion yuan by 2025. “The key to making a collaboration work is about how good the products are. The wrong collaborations may have undesirable (不想要的) results and even hurt brands. The brands should not just focus on getting the public excited. ” said Li Honghui (市场总监) for drinks. 31.

C Is eggshell’s colour related (相关的) to nutritional value (营养价值)? Chicken eggs come in many colors, but there are two that we often see at the supermarket: brown and white. Though brown eggs are often more expensive, the colour of an eggshell says nothing about the quality of inside. According to scientists, the only difference between brown eggs and white eggs lies in the breed (品种) of the chicken that lays them. You may have heard people say that white-feathered chickens always lay white eggs and brown chickens lay brown eggs. While it’s true that a chicken’s coloring can say something about its eggs, you shouldn’t be looking at the feathers only. The colour of a hen’s earlobes (耳垂) is actually the best indicator (标志) of what colour its eggs will be. If it’s white, the chicken’s eggs will likely be white, and if it’s darker, they will likely be brown. This trick even works for Araucana chickens, which have green-blue earlobes and lay matching eggs. Another wrong idea about eggs is that brown eggs are better for you or more "natural" than the white ones. This may have come from the fact that more expensive organic (有机的) eggs tend to be brown, and brown foods (like whole grain items) are usually healthier than the processed (加工的) white versions. But an eggshell’s colour has nothing to do with the egg’s nutritional value. Any difference in labels and pricing on egg cartons comes down to the breed of the chicken. White Leghorn chickens—which lay white eggs—produce more eggs on cheaper diets, so they are favoured by factory farms. Breeds that lay brown eggs, like Rhode Island Red chickens, require higher quality food and eggs. But given the right care and food, white egg-laying chickens can just as easily lay higher quality food and lay higher quality eggs. But given the right care and food, white egg-laying chickens can just as easily lay higher quality eggs as the brown egg-laying chickens. 36. The colour of the chicken eggs mainly depends on ________. A. feathers B. earlobes C. eyes D. feet 37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. An eggshell’s colour has improved the egg’s value. B. Brown eggs are much better than white ones. C. White eggs are more expensive than brown ones. D. Factory farms prefer white Leghorn chickens. 38. The breed of the chicken has an effect on ________. A. The price of eggs B. The size of eggs C. the weight of eggs D. the shapes of eggs 39. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. chickens which lay white eggs can also lay higher quality eggs B. chickens which lay brown eggs can produce more eggs C. common chickens can lay much higher quality eggs D. Araucana chickens can only lay brown eggs 40. What’s the passage mainly about? A. How to help chickens produce more eggs. B. The differences between brown eggs and white eggs. C. How to develop high quality eggs. D. The difficulties chickens are meeting. 五、补全对话 A: Hi, Bob. Did you have a great vacation? B: Yes, I did. A: ____41____ B: I went to Beijing.

Though there is no cure for colds, there are some suggestions for you to avoid getting a cold. First, you can avoid catching a cold by practicing healthy habits. Begin by eating healthy foods. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink milk and juice. Other healthy habits include getting plenty of sleep at night and lots of exercise. Next, you should try to avoid contact with the viruses that cause colds. If you can, stay away from large crowds. When people cough (咳嗽) and sneeze (打喷嚏), the cold virus goes into the air. Do not share a drinking cup, fork, or spoon with someone else because that could spread the virus. Washing your hands is also a good way not to catch a cold. The cold virus may be on things like telephones and money. Shaking another person’s hand could even spread the virus. By washing your hands, you can stop the virus from infecting (传染) you. Follow the suggestions above until doctors find a way to stop the viruses that cause colds. 51. Each child in school catches ________ colds every year. 52. Though there is no cure, there are some ________ for you to avoid getting a cold. 53. When people cough and sneeze, the cold virus ________ the air. 54.
