阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
If you are looking at travelling solo, here are 4 top destinations to add to your bucket list.
Austria
Nestling at the heart of Europe, Austria is a country of beautiful scenery, rich history and artistic treasures. Its patchwork of fairytale forests and snow-capped mountains make it the perfect place to let your mind wander into the romance of the past, while its vibrant and culturally rich cities offer plentiful opportunities to discover something new and inspiring. From the slopes of the Hochschneeberg mountain you can see as far as Hungary, while riding the Salamander train that winds along mountain passes is the best way of taking in the picture-book villages, gleaming lakes and stunning gothic castles that dot the landscape.
Corfu
The Greek Island of Corfu was described by the writer Lawrence Durrell as offering "the most beautiful view in Europe". And he wasn't exaggerating. Olive groves, medieval villages and pristine sandy beaches lie in wait for visitors to this fascinating isle, while the laid-back and hospitable nature of the locals will ensure a warm welcome around every twist and turn of the Roman trails that traverse the landscape. The traditional local cuisine is simple, healthy and delicious, and the perfect way to relax and unwind after a dip in the Mediterranean.
Morocco
Morocco has been attracting travellers for thousands of years. Europe's gateway to Africa, it combines a mix of architectural styles, culture and history that make it quite unlike anywhere else on earth. The Agadir beach resort is a stretch of golden sand with a backdrop of tree-lined boulevards and bars, as well as the vibrant and bustling bazaars（集市）where you can enjoy bargaining-an essential part of any visit. The desert sun gleams off whitewashed Portuguese-style buildings, while the unique Berber customs and hospitality make Morocco a must for the solo traveller in search of relaxation and adventure in equal measure.
Copenhagen
Denmark's capital manages to pack a lot into a little. That is to say, it's easy to explore on foot or by bike, as many of the locals prefer. At twilight or in cloudy weather, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches lend the city a dream-like atmosphere. You'll think you've stepped into a watercolor painting. Even without money, you can still enjoy the proud old trees, the colored night lights and the beautiful gardens. You might fell as if you are in a fairy tale. From the Tivoli Gardens, a traditional theme park to the Nyhavn district with its multi-coloured housefronts facing onto a picturesque yacht-strewn harbour, Copenhagen is a great place to wander around alone or in a group.
21. Which of the following is not the reason for Morocco's fascination with travelers
A. Building styles. B. Unique customs.
C. Traditional cuisine. D. Hospitable locals.
22. In which place can you enjoy a very special harbour view
A. Austria. B. Corfu. C. Morocco. D. Copenhagen.
23. What do the four destinations have in common
A. They all boast world-class sandy beaches.
B. They are all places with beautiful landscape.
C. They all feature snow-capped mountains.
D. They are all only accessible to solo travelers.
B
What would you say to a younger, less world-weary version of you When the question was posed to 36-year-old refugee Kholoud, he answered without thinking.
In 2011, Kholoud started a Syrian newspaper, reporting news in her hometown. State-owned media meant citizens had little idea of what was happening, making her work valuable.
"I was a member of a peaceful activist group," she says. "But the soldiers responded with force. It only took two weeks for the real bullets to come."
Soon the arrests began, Kholoud's brother was taken at 12. 30 pm one evening when the family were all home. "The soldiers threatened to kill us all, threatened my mum they would chop her son into pieces." It wasn't until a year later that Kholoud would be forced to leave herself, "We were supposed to meet friends that evening, but two of them arrived early. We phoned to say we were coming, but they told us they had been arrested, because the meeting was a hook. We had to flee the country in less than two weeks."
First moving to Turkey, Kholoud gained a scholarship at a university in 2017. But when her Syrian passport expired while studying, she was forced to claim asylum（政治庇护）. "While I was waiting for my asylum proposal to be accepted, I could not work or even live, feeling deprived of my humanity, and at that moment realised there's no hope for going back to Syria. I became a refugee."
Despite the hardships, I have no regrets. I would tell my younger self to keep fighting. I keep a motto close to me, written in the Kite Runner, which says' For you, a thousand times over.' For this cause and the freedoms of millions of other Syrians Yeah, a thousand times over."
24. What do we know about situations in Syria
A. Soldiers protected the citizens. B. State-owned newspapers were valuable.
C. Only guilty people were arrested. D. Gunfire broke out in a short time.
25. Which is true about Kholoud
A. She fled willingly to get away from the bullets.
B. She washopeless as her brother was arrested.
C. She was lucky to avoid the trap that evening.
D. She fled right after the bullets came.
26. Kholoud lost that sense of being a full human being because ▲ .
A. She failed to continue her study B. she led a hard life without asylum
C. she couldn't return to Syria D. hardships deprived her of her hope
27. What attitude did she hold towards her fighting
A. Hesitant. B. Doubtful. C. Determined. D. Regretful.
C
The UK is already a world leader in developing the technology of connected and automated vehicles（also known as CAVs）. Aware of its potential benefits—from improving road safety and reducing traffic congestion, to enabling greater travel independence—the government has been playing an active role in encouraging the technology. One initiative that received government backing is FLOURISH, a research and development project looking at how CAVs can help people less able to travel.
"We're on the cusp of one of the most profound changes ever to happen to our transport system, enabled by new technologies such as self-driving vehicles," said lain Forbes, head of the Centre for CAVs. "These changes could transform the lives of some disabled or older people who currently find it tough to use the transport system.
"However, we won't get there unless those designing the technology engage properly with a wide range of transport users. That is why the government is investing in projects such as FLOURISH, which bring technology companies together with transport users to help ensure our future transport system works for everyone."
FLOURISH adopted a user-centred approach to design and development, with the needs of older adults being the focus of their work. Several trials with older adults have been held over the past three years using simulated environments and self-driving pods, similar to cars.
One of the participants in the trials, Robin, a 76-year-old former BBC journalist says: "It's going to be quite awful when I can't get in a car and go where I want to. It's all very well using the bus, but your friends don't necessarily live by a bus stop and, as you get older, you don't want to walk that far."
Mervyn Kohler, an Age UK spokesman, who has contributed to discussions about mobility and older people for the last 30 years, believes FLOURISH's approach will be key to the positive impact self-driving cars have on older adults. "There is obviously a connection between loneliness and mobility. If you are finding it difficult to get around or are experiencing poor health, either physical or mental, your quality of life is going to be lower." says Mervyn. "We've got to help people get out and about, and this points expressly to the idea of driverless cars."
"FLOURISH is important because it has particularly worked with older people to help develop the technology they would use to interact with a CAV," says Tracey Poole, FLOURISH's project manager. "They often find it difficult to programme the computer with their bad arthritis and poor eyesight. Thus, if we can provide them with a voice recognition way of controlling their journey, that is probably a good idea."
28. According to Iain, what is the purpose of investing in projects like FLOURISH
A. To call for greater concentration on the needs of older adults.
B. To promote technology companies' engagement with transport users.
C. To encourage the most profound changes brought by self-driving vehicle.
D. To transform the lives of some disabled or older people unable to travel.
29. Which of the following attitudes is Robin likely to hold towards self-driving cars
A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Opposed.
30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. The UK government attaches greater importance to improving road safety.
B. Driverless cars have been widely accessible to older adults.
C. Mervyn believes people's loneliness is caused by difficulty in getting around.
D. FLOURISH is likely to apply voice recognition to self-driving cars.
31. What's the main idea of this passage
A. Self-driving cars have a positive effect on older adults.
B. How can CAVs help people less able to travel in the future
C. FLOURISH makes self-driving cars beneficial to older people.
D. Whether or not could self-driving cars soon be a reality
D
Weird. That's what Kelvin felt when he signed a prenuptial agreement years ago with his then girlfriend. According to the agreement, the ownership of the house would go to the wife if the couple divorced, because the wife's parents had paid the down payment for the house.
"My friends think it's unfair to me, but I think it's okay," Kelvin said. "I feel more comfortable now looking at a what-if scenario to save future troubles."
In China, most people are unwilling to sign a prenuptial agreement. But overseas Chinese are showing a different attitude. According to a recent survey, 70 percent of overseas Chinese participants, mainly living in the US, said it is necessary to sign prenuptial agreements, commonly known as "prenups", before tying the knot. The survey covering 1,084 people was conducted by a Los Angeles-based dating company "2RedBeans" through the company's mobile app. The company said it has more than 1 million registered users, half of them based in the US, and the rest in Canada. Australia and other countries.
"It shows that the attitude of overseas Chinese toward marriage has been influenced by Western values over the past decade," said a co-founder of 2RedBeans. In China, more often than not, a prenup is considered to indicate distrust between a couple and the lack of faith in marriage.
US family law attorneys, however, have been promoting the concept of prenups, saying they have many advantages, from protecting the assets（资产）brought into the marriage by one party to saving the other party from debt. For instance, an outspoken advocate of prenups, also a divorce lawyer, Kelly Rickert has gained popularity for sharing family court stories on TikTok. The rights and obligations related to marriage vary from state to state in the US. "So if you get married without drawing up your own terms and conditions, you are by default（默认）submitting to your state's law," Rickert said in a TikTok video, "Prenups are especially important in a community property state such as California, where all assets and debts acquired after marriage shall be shared by both parties," she said.
One of her recent clients（客户）was lucky to have a prenup which allowed her to keep her property separate from the debt of her late husband, who had ran up "astronomical" amounts of medical bills before he died of COVID-19. "Had they not had a prenup stating that the debt be attributed to the party who acquired it, the medical debt would have been shared and she would have had to pay it." Rickert said. By contrast, she showed pity in a video for another female client who didn't want a prenup so she could get half of her husband's successful business in the case of divorce. But by the time they separated, the business had almost reached bankruptcy point, making her obliged to pay half of the debt.
This might be one of the reasons why many overseas Chinese are attaching importance to prenups. Overseas Chinese living in North America are generally high-income earners and come from middle-class families, so they more easily accept prenups, especially those under 30 years old, who are more likely to value financial independence and consider prenups necessary.
32. Which of the following statements is true about the survey
A. The survey was lately conducted among Chinese people living in the US,
B. A majority of people surveyed hold a favorable attitude towards prenups.
C. A company with branch offices all over the world carried out the survey,
D. Over 1 million people were surveyed through the company's mobile app.
33. The underlined word "scenario in the second paragraph probably refers to ▲ .
A. an account of how things may happen B. a situation where people are in conflict
C. an accident causing a lot of damage D. an outline of what will happen in a film
34. What can be inferred according to the passage
A. Young overseas Chinese with high incomes won't attach importance to signing a prenup.
B. The rights and obligations related to marriage vary among states in the United States.
C. Kelly Rickert would like to recommend her TikTok followers to draw up prenups.
D. In California, debts acquired after marriage won't be shared by a couple with a prenup.
35. What is the main purpose of this article
A. To compare different attitudes toward marriage.
B. To appeal to overseas Chinese to value prenups.
C. To inform people of a trend among overseas Chinese.
D. To explain the pros and cons of a trendy lifestyle abroad.

Reasons you're not losing weight
Trying to get rid of the pounds but find it useless A report found that 38 percent of adults in England are obese and 46 percent are overweight. So, why do we find it so hard 36
Your portion sizes are too big.
Portion sizes have expanded over history. Sixty years ago food was more expensive and more scarce and portions were smaller. 37 Thus, controlling your portion sizes by weighing foods helps you to keep the weight off.
You're not sleeping enough.
When dieters have less sleep over a period of time, they long for sugary or high calorie snacks to "wake up". However, it's not the whole story. 38 Because of this, you will hang on to fat.
You're disorganized with the three meals.
Breakfast is "the most important meal of the day" yet more than half of Britons skip it. Actually, it aids your weight loss, making you feel full- until lunchtime without any snacks. 39 That's because late night eaters tend to make worse food choices.
40
We might be told that fruit and grains are beneficial to our health. But even they can keep the fat on if we eat too many of them. For example, fruits are good but many are full of fructose（果糖）, which also contribute to weight gain if eaten in large quantities.
A. You'd better eat nutritious food,B. You're eating too much of good things.C. Here are some of the things we might be getting wrong.D. Besides, eating late at night can largely reduce weight loss chances.E. Now they have grown and contribute to over-eating and unwanted weight gain.F. This won't make you feel better and is indeed a risk factor for weight gain and obesity.G. It also triggers a rise in stress hormone, which demands your body to conserve more energy to cope with waking hours.

But as we got to know each other, our 59 faith and mutual love of books 60 our gaps.

30.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句话"Thus, if we can provide them with a voice recognition way of controlling their journey, that is probably a good idea."推断可知D项正确。
31.C 【解析】主旨大意题。作者在首段引出由政府发起的FLOURISH项目，该项目让致力于研究自动驾驶技术的公司更好地关注年老不方便出行的用户，并将他们作为被试者参与到研究中，从而使自动驾驶汽车在不久的将来也能造福不方便出行的老年人。
D篇：本文是一篇说明文，向读者介绍了海外华人这个群体对婚前协议的接受度逐渐提高并愈发重视。
32.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句和第三句“But overseas Chinese are showing a different attitude. According to a recent survey, 70 percent of overseas Chinese participants, mainly living in the US, said it is necessary to sign prenuptial agreements...”可知，大多数受访者对于签婚前协议都是持赞成态度的，所以B项正确。
33.A 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第二段"...looking at a what-if... "可以推断出这里的scenario一词应该是指未来可能会出现的情况，即婚前协议里双方对未来可能会出现的一些涉及财产和债务范围及权利归属等具体问题提前做出的约定，所以A项正确。
34.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段第一句"US family law attorneys, however, have been promoting the concept of prenups..."和第二句"For instance, an outspoken advocate of prenups, also a divorce lawyer, Kelly Rickert..."以及第六段第三句"By contrast, she showed pity in a video for another female client..."可以推断出Kelly Rickert作为婚前协议的拥护者，她是愿意推荐她的抖音粉丝签署婚前协议的，所以C项正确。
35.C 【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要就是向使者介绍海外华人对签署婚前协议的接受度在逐渐提高并有日益重视的趋势，所以C项正确。

M: I've always wanted to go somewhere hot like Hawaii. I'd love to just lie on the beach, have a drink... just relax, although I suppose that staying in one place might get boring after a while. How about a trip through Europe
W: You're not the first person to say that. To be honest, I kind of agree with you. If we were to go to the Bahamas, say, I wouldn't complain, But Europe sounds more attractive.
M: Well, as it happens. I spoke with a bunch of our friends last night. All of them began by saying the same thing we did about beaches and stuff. In the end, everyone agreed that they'd rather have a more diverse experience.
W: Well. I think we have our destination. Now we just need to get our plane tickets.

W: Do you know anyone in the play
M: Actually, the woman playing Ophelia is an old classmate of mine.
W: Really Is that why you wanted to come to the play
M: That's only a part of it. I absolutely admire this director. Every play he works on turns out great. I've seen quite a few other plays that he directed. They are really wonderful. By the way, after the play, there is a big party for the actors and their friends. My friend has invited us. Do you want to go
W: Sure. Oh, look! They are weakening the lights. I think we should go back to our seats for the second half of the play.

M: OK, congratulations to him. But that success story is not common. People should receive as much education as they could.

M: That's nothing! New York University costs much more!
W: See! That's what I mean! Is it really worth the money

W: Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo "Nice Ride"—the name of the city's bike-share program.
Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply you're your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's（明尼苏达州）largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths.
The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Increasing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to travel by bike. Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70,000 bikes is in Wuhan, China.
To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the US Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes（道路内自行车车道）called greenways.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
If you are looking at travelling solo, here are 4 top destinations to add to your bucket list.
Austria
Nestling at the heart of Europe, Austria is a country of beautiful scenery, rich history and artistic treasures. Its patchwork of fairytale forests and snow-capped mountains make it the perfect place to let your mind wander into the romance of the past, while its vibrant and culturally rich cities offer plentiful opportunities to discover something new and inspiring. From the slopes of the Hochschneeberg mountain you can see as far as Hungary, while riding the Salamander train that winds along mountain passes is the best way of taking in the picture-book villages, gleaming lakes and stunning gothic castles that dot the landscape.
Corfu
The Greek Island of Corfu was described by the writer Lawrence Durrell as offering "the most beautiful view in Europe". And he wasn't exaggerating. Olive groves, medieval villages and pristine sandy beaches lie in wait for visitors to this fascinating isle, while the laid-back and hospitable nature of the locals will ensure a warm welcome around every twist and turn of the Roman trails that traverse the landscape. The traditional local cuisine is simple, healthy and delicious, and the perfect way to relax and unwind after a dip in the Mediterranean.
Morocco
Morocco has been attracting travellers for thousands of years. Europe's gateway to Africa, it combines a mix of architectural styles, culture and history that make it quite unlike anywhere else on earth. The Agadir beach resort is a stretch of golden sand with a backdrop of tree-lined boulevards and bars, as well as the vibrant and bustling bazaars（集市）where you can enjoy bargaining-an essential part of any visit. The desert sun gleams off whitewashed Portuguese-style buildings, while the unique Berber customs and hospitality make Morocco a must for the solo traveller in search of relaxation and adventure in equal measure.
Copenhagen
Denmark's capital manages to pack a lot into a little. That is to say, it's easy to explore on foot or by bike, as many of the locals prefer. At twilight or in cloudy weather, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches lend the city a dream-like atmosphere. You'll think you've stepped into a watercolor painting. Even without money, you can still enjoy the proud old trees, the colored night lights and the beautiful gardens. You might fell as if you are in a fairy tale. From the Tivoli Gardens, a traditional theme park to the Nyhavn district with its multi-coloured housefronts facing onto a picturesque yacht-strewn harbour, Copenhagen is a great place to wander around alone or in a group.
21. Which of the following is not the reason for Morocco's fascination with travelers
A. Building styles. B. Unique customs.
C. Traditional cuisine. D. Hospitable locals.
22. In which place can you enjoy a very special harbour view
A. Austria. B. Corfu. C. Morocco. D. Copenhagen.
23. What do the four destinations have in common
A. They all boast world-class sandy beaches.
B. They are all places with beautiful landscape.
C. They all feature snow-capped mountains.
D. They are all only accessible to solo travelers.
B
What would you say to a younger, less world-weary version of you When the question was posed to 36-year-old refugee Kholoud, he answered without thinking.
In 2011, Kholoud started a Syrian newspaper, reporting news in her hometown. State-owned media meant citizens had little idea of what was happening, making her work valuable.
"I was a member of a peaceful activist group," she says. "But the soldiers responded with force. It only took two weeks for the real bullets to come."
Soon the arrests began, Kholoud's brother was taken at 12. 30 pm one evening when the family were all home. "The soldiers threatened to kill us all, threatened my mum they would chop her son into pieces." It wasn't until a year later that Kholoud would be forced to leave herself, "We were supposed to meet friends that evening, but two of them arrived early. We phoned to say we were coming, but they told us they had been arrested, because the meeting was a hook. We had to flee the country in less than two weeks."
First moving to Turkey, Kholoud gained a scholarship at a university in 2017. But when her Syrian passport expired while studying, she was forced to claim asylum（政治庇护）. "While I was waiting for my asylum proposal to be accepted, I could not work or even live, feeling deprived of my humanity, and at that moment realised there's no hope for going back to Syria. I became a refugee."
Despite the hardships, I have no regrets. I would tell my younger self to keep fighting. I keep a motto close to me, written in the Kite Runner, which says' For you, a thousand times over.' For this cause and the freedoms of millions of other Syrians Yeah, a thousand times over."
24. What do we know about situations in Syria
A. Soldiers protected the citizens. B. State-owned newspapers were valuable.
C. Only guilty people were arrested. D. Gunfire broke out in a short time.
25. Which is true about Kholoud
A. She fled willingly to get away from the bullets.
B. She washopeless as her brother was arrested.
C. She was lucky to avoid the trap that evening.
D. She fled right after the bullets came.
26. Kholoud lost that sense of being a full human being because ▲ .
A. She failed to continue her study B. she led a hard life without asylum
C. she couldn't return to Syria D. hardships deprived her of her hope
27. What attitude did she hold towards her fighting
A. Hesitant. B. Doubtful. C. Determined. D. Regretful.
C
The UK is already a world leader in developing the technology of connected and automated vehicles（also known as CAVs）. Aware of its potential benefits—from improving road safety and reducing traffic congestion, to enabling greater travel independence—the government has been playing an active role in encouraging the technology. One initiative that received government backing is FLOURISH, a research and development project looking at how CAVs can help people less able to travel.
"We're on the cusp of one of the most profound changes ever to happen to our transport system, enabled by new technologies such as self-driving vehicles," said lain Forbes, head of the Centre for CAVs. "These changes could transform the lives of some disabled or older people who currently find it tough to use the transport system.
"However, we won't get there unless those designing the technology engage properly with a wide range of transport users. That is why the government is investing in projects such as FLOURISH, which bring technology companies together with transport users to help ensure our future transport system works for everyone."
FLOURISH adopted a user-centred approach to design and development, with the needs of older adults being the focus of their work. Several trials with older adults have been held over the past three years using simulated environments and self-driving pods, similar to cars.
One of the participants in the trials, Robin, a 76-year-old former BBC journalist says: "It's going to be quite awful when I can't get in a car and go where I want to. It's all very well using the bus, but your friends don't necessarily live by a bus stop and, as you get older, you don't want to walk that far."
Mervyn Kohler, an Age UK spokesman, who has contributed to discussions about mobility and older people for the last 30 years, believes FLOURISH's approach will be key to the positive impact self-driving cars have on older adults. "There is obviously a connection between loneliness and mobility. If you are finding it difficult to get around or are experiencing poor health, either physical or mental, your quality of life is going to be lower." says Mervyn. "We've got to help people get out and about, and this points expressly to the idea of driverless cars."
"FLOURISH is important because it has particularly worked with older people to help develop the technology they would use to interact with a CAV," says Tracey Poole, FLOURISH's project manager. "They often find it difficult to programme the computer with their bad arthritis and poor eyesight. Thus, if we can provide them with a voice recognition way of controlling their journey, that is probably a good idea."
28. According to Iain, what is the purpose of investing in projects like FLOURISH
A. To call for greater concentration on the needs of older adults.
B. To promote technology companies' engagement with transport users.
C. To encourage the most profound changes brought by self-driving vehicle.
D. To transform the lives of some disabled or older people unable to travel.
29. Which of the following attitudes is Robin likely to hold towards self-driving cars
A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Opposed.
30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. The UK government attaches greater importance to improving road safety.
B. Driverless cars have been widely accessible to older adults.
C. Mervyn believes people's loneliness is caused by difficulty in getting around.
D. FLOURISH is likely to apply voice recognition to self-driving cars.
31. What's the main idea of this passage
A. Self-driving cars have a positive effect on older adults.
B. How can CAVs help people less able to travel in the future
C. FLOURISH makes self-driving cars beneficial to older people.
D. Whether or not could self-driving cars soon be a reality
D
Weird. That's what Kelvin felt when he signed a prenuptial agreement years ago with his then girlfriend. According to the agreement, the ownership of the house would go to the wife if the couple divorced, because the wife's parents had paid the down payment for the house.
"My friends think it's unfair to me, but I think it's okay," Kelvin said. "I feel more comfortable now looking at a what-if scenario to save future troubles."
In China, most people are unwilling to sign a prenuptial agreement. But overseas Chinese are showing a different attitude. According to a recent survey, 70 percent of overseas Chinese participants, mainly living in the US, said it is necessary to sign prenuptial agreements, commonly known as "prenups", before tying the knot. The survey covering 1,084 people was conducted by a Los Angeles-based dating company "2RedBeans" through the company's mobile app. The company said it has more than 1 million registered users, half of them based in the US, and the rest in Canada. Australia and other countries.
"It shows that the attitude of overseas Chinese toward marriage has been influenced by Western values over the past decade," said a co-founder of 2RedBeans. In China, more often than not, a prenup is considered to indicate distrust between a couple and the lack of faith in marriage.
US family law attorneys, however, have been promoting the concept of prenups, saying they have many advantages, from protecting the assets（资产）brought into the marriage by one party to saving the other party from debt. For instance, an outspoken advocate of prenups, also a divorce lawyer, Kelly Rickert has gained popularity for sharing family court stories on TikTok. The rights and obligations related to marriage vary from state to state in the US. "So if you get married without drawing up your own terms and conditions, you are by default（默认）submitting to your state's law," Rickert said in a TikTok video, "Prenups are especially important in a community property state such as California, where all assets and debts acquired after marriage shall be shared by both parties," she said.
One of her recent clients（客户）was lucky to have a prenup which allowed her to keep her property separate from the debt of her late husband, who had ran up "astronomical" amounts of medical bills before he died of COVID-19. "Had they not had a prenup stating that the debt be attributed to the party who acquired it, the medical debt would have been shared and she would have had to pay it." Rickert said. By contrast, she showed pity in a video for another female client who didn't want a prenup so she could get half of her husband's successful business in the case of divorce. But by the time they separated, the business had almost reached bankruptcy point, making her obliged to pay half of the debt.
This might be one of the reasons why many overseas Chinese are attaching importance to prenups. Overseas Chinese living in North America are generally high-income earners and come from middle-class families, so they more easily accept prenups, especially those under 30 years old, who are more likely to value financial independence and consider prenups necessary.
32. Which of the following statements is true about the survey
A. The survey was lately conducted among Chinese people living in the US,
B. A majority of people surveyed hold a favorable attitude towards prenups.
C. A company with branch offices all over the world carried out the survey,
D. Over 1 million people were surveyed through the company's mobile app.
33. The underlined word "scenario in the second paragraph probably refers to ▲ .
A. an account of how things may happen B. a situation where people are in conflict
C. an accident causing a lot of damage D. an outline of what will happen in a film
34. What can be inferred according to the passage
A. Young overseas Chinese with high incomes won't attach importance to signing a prenup.
B. The rights and obligations related to marriage vary among states in the United States.
C. Kelly Rickert would like to recommend her TikTok followers to draw up prenups.
D. In California, debts acquired after marriage won't be shared by a couple with a prenup.
35. What is the main purpose of this article
A. To compare different attitudes toward marriage.
B. To appeal to overseas Chinese to value prenups.
C. To inform people of a trend among overseas Chinese.
D. To explain the pros and cons of a trendy lifestyle abroad.

Portion sizes have expanded over history. Sixty years ago food was more expensive and more scarce and portions were smaller. 37 Thus, controlling your portion sizes by weighing foods helps you to keep the weight off.
You're not sleeping enough.
When dieters have less sleep over a period of time, they long for sugary or high calorie snacks to "wake up". However, it's not the whole story. 38 Because of this, you will hang on to fat.
You're disorganized with the three meals.
Breakfast is "the most important meal of the day" yet more than half of Britons skip it. Actually, it aids your weight loss, making you feel full- until lunchtime without any snacks. 39 That's because late night eaters tend to make worse food choices.

We might be told that fruit and grains are beneficial to our health. But even they can keep the fat on if we eat too many of them. For example, fruits are good but many are full of fructose（果糖）, which also contribute to weight gain if eaten in large quantities.
A. You'd better eat nutritious food,B. You're eating too much of good things.C. Here are some of the things we might be getting wrong.D. Besides, eating late at night can largely reduce weight loss chances.E. Now they have grown and contribute to over-eating and unwanted weight gain.F. This won't make you feel better and is indeed a risk factor for weight gain and obesity.G. It also triggers a rise in stress hormone, which demands your body to conserve more energy to cope with waking hours.

But as we got to know each other, our 59 faith and mutual love of books 60 our gaps.

W: Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo "Nice Ride"—the name of the city's bike-share program.
Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply you're your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's（明尼苏达州）largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths.
The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Increasing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to travel by bike. Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70,000 bikes is in Wuhan, China.
To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the US Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes（道路内自行车车道）called greenways.
