A
There’s no place like home—a place to put your feet up, relax and be yourself. But a brand new full-service private rental property named Homestead is redefining(重新定义) modern living, making you feel at home.
Freed from the small stuff
Right from moving in, convenience is built into the process, with fully-furnished, high-quality apartments available for residents and access to all facilities of Homestead and Wi-Fi included in monthly rental cost.
Feel at home
Not only are Homestead’s apartments beautifully designed and furnished to create a sense of relaxation and luxury, but the shared spaces for residents to use and socialise in—from the inviting reception area to the landscaped roof garden and stylish private dining rooms—all reflect a contemporary, high-quality reimagining of what renting ought to be.
Make hybrid work really work
As hybrid work, which focuses on the flexibility of working, is part of our lives now, the opportunity to shift between workspaces with ease is critical. Start the day catching up on emails in a stylishly-designed co-working space steps away from your front door, before taking calls on the outside platform or travel into your employer’s office when you need to.
Be a people person
Living at Homestead means joining a community of like-minded people. Whether you meet neighbours on the roof garden or in the cinema room, or choose to network in the co-working space, making friends couldn’t be more straightforward.
Tap here for helpful services
They say there’s an app for everything—and in this case, there is an app with everything. The Homestead App gives you quick access to a range of bookable services, from ordering takeaway to dog walking to cleaning services—all right on your doorstep, meaning more time to actually enjoy the rest of your day.

The Chinese new year begins on 22 January, 2023 and lasts until 9 February 2024.While most of Asia celebrates the year of the rabbit, Vietnam celebrates the year of the cat. In the Chinese zodiac(十二生肖), there are 12 animals, and the 4th animal is the rabbit; while in the Vietnamese zodiac, the 4th position is occupied by the cat. How the cat covered for the rabbit in Vietnam’s zodiac is still the subject of debate.
It was said the Jade Emperor organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac. In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won the race, turning the two animals into enemies. That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. However, in the Vietnamese version—which did not have a rabbit—the cat could swim and ended up arriving.
One possible explanation for replacing rabbit with cat might have to do with language. In old Chinese, there is’ a word tied to the sign of the rabbit that is pronounced mao (卯).The pronunciation is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat.
Quyen Di, a lecturer at UCLA, said the custom has to do with the landscape of Vietnam. “Initially, the Chinese lived in the savanna(稀树草原)area, while the Vietnamese lived in the lowland area. The people of the savanna prefer a nomadic life, close to the wilderness, and they chose the rabbit as an animal that lived in the wild fields. In contrast, the lowland people of Vietnam consider rabbits as animals that are used for food and chose the cat because they believe cats are friends living in their house.
This year, many Vietnamese are buying new cat-themed cases for their mobile phones. And one of the top Google searches in Vietnam is “why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac”.；
4. What does the underlined phrase “covered for” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．took charge of. B．fought for.
C．took the place of. D．depended on.；
5. What can we learn from the Vietnamese zodiac story
A．The Jade Emperor showed favor to the cat.
B．The rabbit fell into the river in the zodiac race.
C．The cat finished fourth by swimming across the river.
D．The rat and the rabbit were enemies in ancient times.；
6. According to Quyen Di, what made the Vietnamese choose the cat
A．Their living environment.
B．Their language pronunciation.
C．Their lifestyle of raising cats as pets .
D．Their custom of hunting rabbits for food.；
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．The History of the Chinese Zodiac
B．Ways of Celebrating the Year of the Rabbit.
C．The Popularity of Chinese Traditional Culture
D．The Origin of the Year of the Cat in Vietnam

Today, battery power per kilowatt hour costs around only ten per cent of what it did a decade ago. And the expectation is that the costs will continue to fall, both as battery chemistry improves and because manufacturing lots of batteries on a massive scale makes the production of individual batteries cheaper.
You can be forgiven for thinking that this might only be of interest to accountants, but the implications of this are enormous, and will benefit all of us. First and most obviously, it had made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer-lasting. And brilliantly, because electric batteries are improving so dramatically, we can already see the results. Last September, 15 per cent of all new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles. So the change is starting to happen.
Better batteries don’t just mean better cars, however. They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid(网格). Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid. Today, only a tiny amount of generated electricity is stored for later use, which leads to lots of power going to waste. But better batteries make it technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid.
It’s conceivable(可想象的) that in the not-too-distant future, alongside other essentials in our homes like a boiler and a fusebox, we might also have an enormous battery in the garage. This would take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof), and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high. Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars, but they are also growing in popularity.
So, given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade, I can’t help but be strangely optimistic about the future. Batteries may not be as flashy(华丽的) as phones, rockets or other new technologies, but when it comes to technology to fight climate change, they’re definitely leading the charge.；
8. What contributes to the popularity of electric cars
A．The greater benefits to accountants. B．The production of individual batteries.
C．The cheaper batteries running longer. D．The disappearance of the range anxiety.；
9. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Workable. B．Cheaper. C．Dramatic. D．Exceptional.；
10. What does the author expect of batteries
A．They will sell better than phones. B．They will make the world greener.
C．They will replace the chargers on a long trip. D．They will improve in an environment-friendly way.；
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Home Batteries Will Catch on B．Petrol-powered Cars Will Be Upgraded
C．Batteries Are Getting Better and Better D．Battery Technology Needs Improving Urgently

四、语法填空
Will you eat everything in your lunch box today If not, will you save it for another time or just throw it away
A recent study 32 (find) that 17% of all the food 33 (produce) around the world gets wasted each year, 34 reaches about 931 million tons. Believe it 35 not, 61% of the waste happens in our houses!
Food waste in homes 36 (happen) in rich countries like the US and the UK as well as in poor countries for different reasons.
Cultural habits could also lead to waste at home, 37 (include) massive packaging and “buy one, get one free” deals. ‘Use by’ or ‘best by’ dates 38 products could also cause people to throw away food. People could throw out food because they think it is 39 (safe) to eat, when in fact the date only shows when quality might go down.
Food was 40 (much) valued even in richer countries just a few generations ago, because people often couldn’t afford to waste it. 41 (throw) away food is for sure a great waste and we should try to make people know the importance of saving food.
