The Chinatown in San Francisco is the biggest in America, and also the oldest. It is a very popular tourist draw that receives more visitors each year than even the Golden Gate Bridge. The climate is mild all year round, meaning it is always a good time to visit.
Historically, Chinese immigrants settled in the area during the railroad construction and gold rush period. What started as a residential area for Chinese immigrants then turned into a centre for Chinese culture. The majority of residents in Chinatown are still ethnic Chinese, many of whom do not speak English fluently. This allows visitors to experience a real taste of China.
Traditionally, visitors enter Chinatown through the legendary Dragon Gate, which was built using materials donated from China. Other famous sites include the Tin How Temple and Bank of Canton. Portsmouth Square is also a key site, being the centre of Chinatown. It has a long and famous history, with the author Robert Louis Stevenson having spent much time writing there. These days, the square is a great place to see traditional Chinese culture in real life, such as games of Chinese chess, and people practising tai chi.
The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing.A ll kinds of traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be found, too, and there are Chinese tea stores, where visitors can taste and buy varieties of Chinese tea. But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food. There is Chinese food to suit everyone’s taste, with traditional dishes from all over China.
China towns are an important part of the diverse culture of the USA. They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand.

5. What can we learn about Chinatown from paragraph 2

C. It has become a centre for Chinese culture in the world.
D. It attracted many Chinese immigrants after the gold rush period.

Had she been a singer, she might have been an American star. But Clora Bryant played the trumpet, and reputation came slowly. Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, in 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin. “It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved.”
Bryant played the trumpet with such passion and she became a mainstay in the growing jazz scene in the 1940s. Dizzy Gillespie once told Times jazz critic Leonard Feather that Bryant was the most underrated (低估) trumpet player in L.A.
But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺). “A lot of clubs have closed.” she told the Times. “And how many female trumpet players do you see working ”
Bryant and her brothers were raised by their father, a patient man who encouraged his children to think big. She wanted to be in the high school marching band, but Charles Bryant warned his daughter she’d likely face resistance. “But anything you want to do, I’m behind you,” she recalled. It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger.
8. What does the underlined word “resolved” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Adventurous. B. Unique. C. Emotional. D. Determined.
9. Why is “Social Security” mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To show people’s acts of kindness.
B. To prove Bryant’s struggle through life.
C. To explain how Bryant earned his living.
D. To stress the importance of the pawnshop.
10. What’s the key reason for Bryant’s being underrated
A. The open sexism from society.
B. The poor family background.
C. The terrible financial situation.
D. The mental pressure from colleagues.
11. What played an important role for Bryant to stick to her dream
A. Her son’s support. B. Her brothers’ company.
C. Her strict family education. D. Her father’s encouragement.
D
About 40% of all food grown in the world goes uneaten each year, according to a World Wildlife Fund report from last year. And when food ends up in landfills, it produces huge amounts of greenhouse gases. So it’s no surprise that the app Too Good to Go designed to be opposed to this problem—by giving consumers the opportunity to purchase leftover, out-of-date or ugly food at discount prices—has become increasingly popular in recent years.
Users of the Too Good to Go app can search for local restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores—and purchase surprise bags filled with whatever food is left over at the end of the day. The bags range in price from about $3 to $5, but they’re stocked with food about three times that value. So customers are also getting a steep discount.
Too Good to Go first launched in Europe in 2015 and opened in the US in October 2020.Today it’s available in cities including Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle and Philadelphia. And the app saves 300,000 meals a day from ending up in landfills around the world.
Besides saving meals from ending up in the trash, Too Good to Go’s primary aim is to increase awareness of food waste, eventually encouraging consumers to effect policy change in their local communities.
“The whole food chain is wasting food. So we need to help,” said Lucie Basch, co-founder of the app Too Good to Go.” But for us, starting with the consumers and raising awareness with a super simple app that anyone can download and start using today was really the opportunity to make a difference for us.”
12. What is the purpose of designing the app Too Good to Go
A. To fight against food waste. B. To recycle the leftover food.
C. To reduce air pollution. D. To deal with world hunger.
13. What does the underlined word stocked most probably mean
A. enveloped B. housed C. filled D. coated
14. What can we expect about the future of Too Good to Go
A. It still has a long way to go
B. It can change the existing food chain.
C. It should work together with more grocery stores.
D. It can help improve related policies of communities.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A. The Main Cause of Food Waste B. The Solution for Greenhouse Gases
C. A New App Helps People Reduce Waste D. A Consumption Concept Becomes Popular

Historically, Chinese immigrants settled in the area during the railroad construction and gold rush period. What started as a residential area for Chinese immigrants then turned into a centre for Chinese culture. The majority of residents in Chinatown are still ethnic Chinese, many of whom do not speak English fluently. This allows visitors to experience a real taste of China.
Traditionally, visitors enter Chinatown through the legendary Dragon Gate, which was built using materials donated from China. Other famous sites include the Tin How Temple and Bank of Canton. Portsmouth Square is also a key site, being the centre of Chinatown. It has a long and famous history, with the author Robert Louis Stevenson having spent much time writing there. These days, the square is a great place to see traditional Chinese culture in real life, such as games of Chinese chess, and people practising tai chi.
The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing.A ll kinds of traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be found, too, and there are Chinese tea stores, where visitors can taste and buy varieties of Chinese tea. But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food. There is Chinese food to suit everyone’s taste, with traditional dishes from all over China.
China towns are an important part of the diverse culture of the USA. They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand.

Had she been a singer, she might have been an American star. But Clora Bryant played the trumpet, and reputation came slowly. Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, in 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin. “It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved.”
Bryant played the trumpet with such passion and she became a mainstay in the growing jazz scene in the 1940s. Dizzy Gillespie once told Times jazz critic Leonard Feather that Bryant was the most underrated (低估) trumpet player in L.A.
But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺). “A lot of clubs have closed.” she told the Times. “And how many female trumpet players do you see working ”
Bryant and her brothers were raised by their father, a patient man who encouraged his children to think big. She wanted to be in the high school marching band, but Charles Bryant warned his daughter she’d likely face resistance. “But anything you want to do, I’m behind you,” she recalled. It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger.
8. What does the underlined word “resolved” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Adventurous. B. Unique. C. Emotional. D. Determined.
9. Why is “Social Security” mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To show people’s acts of kindness.
B. To prove Bryant’s struggle through life.
C. To explain how Bryant earned his living.
D. To stress the importance of the pawnshop.
10. What’s the key reason for Bryant’s being underrated
A. The open sexism from society.
B. The poor family background.
C. The terrible financial situation.
D. The mental pressure from colleagues.
11. What played an important role for Bryant to stick to her dream
A. Her son’s support. B. Her brothers’ company.
C. Her strict family education. D. Her father’s encouragement.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了小号乐手Bryant成名的过程很缓慢，得到的赞誉远不及她应得到的那么多，但是她越过人生的障碍，最终获得了成功。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her”(Bryant虽然一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她突破屏障，下定决心要成为一名备受尊敬的爵士小号手)可知，Bryant虽然她一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她决心成为一名受尊敬的爵士小号手。结合划线词前“It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved”(那是男人的世界，这让她很为难。但那只能点燃她的斗志，让她更加resolved)可知，性别歧视并未能阻挡Bryant成为一名爵士小号手，反而使她更加下定决心成为一名爵士小号手，所以可以推断出画线单词“resolved”意思是“下定决心的”，与“determined”意思一致。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺).”(到了1992年，她却只能靠社会保险金生活，住在儿子位于加州长滩的公寓，两把小号都被送进了典当铺。)可推知，作者提及“社会保险金”是为了证实她当时经济状况的窘迫，从侧面反应她成名过程中的奋斗与艰辛。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, in 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin. “It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved.””(Bryant虽然一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她突破屏障，下定决心要成为一名备受尊敬的爵士小号手。她的儿子Darrin说，爵士乐小号手的生活是一场艰苦的战斗。“那是个男人的世界，这让她很为难。但那只能点燃她的斗志，让她更加坚定要成为一名，爵士乐小号手。”)可推知，公然的性别歧视使得Bryant的成长历程充满艰辛，这也是她被低估的关键原因。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger.”(正是她的父亲鼓励她去做任何她想做的事情，这使她变得越来越强大。)可知，父亲的鼓励是她坚持自己的梦想的关键，起到重要作用。故选D项。

About 40% of all food grown in the world goes uneaten each year, according to a World Wildlife Fund report from last year. And when food ends up in landfills, it produces huge amounts of greenhouse gases. So it’s no surprise that the app Too Good to Go designed to be opposed to this problem—by giving consumers the opportunity to purchase leftover, out-of-date or ugly food at discount prices—has become increasingly popular in recent years.
Users of the Too Good to Go app can search for local restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores—and purchase surprise bags filled with whatever food is left over at the end of the day. The bags range in price from about $3 to $5, but they’re stocked with food about three times that value. So customers are also getting a steep discount.
Too Good to Go first launched in Europe in 2015 and opened in the US in October 2020.Today it’s available in cities including Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle and Philadelphia. And the app saves 300,000 meals a day from ending up in landfills around the world.
Besides saving meals from ending up in the trash, Too Good to Go’s primary aim is to increase awareness of food waste, eventually encouraging consumers to effect policy change in their local communities.
“The whole food chain is wasting food. So we need to help,” said Lucie Basch, co-founder of the app Too Good to Go.” But for us, starting with the consumers and raising awareness with a super simple app that anyone can download and start using today was really the opportunity to make a difference for us.”
12. What is the purpose of designing the app Too Good to Go
A. To fight against food waste. B. To recycle the leftover food.
C. To reduce air pollution. D. To deal with world hunger.
13. What does the underlined word stocked most probably mean
A. enveloped B. housed C. filled D. coated
14. What can we expect about the future of Too Good to Go
A. It still has a long way to go
B. It can change the existing food chain.
C. It should work together with more grocery stores.
D. It can help improve related policies of communities.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A. The Main Cause of Food Waste B. The Solution for Greenhouse Gases
C. A New App Helps People Reduce Waste D. A Consumption Concept Becomes Popular
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Users of the Too Good to Go app can search for local restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores—and purchase surprise bags filled with whatever food is left over at the end of the day.(Too Good to Go应用程序的用户可以搜索当地的餐馆、面包店和杂货店，并购买惊喜袋，装满一天结束时剩下的任何食物)”以及划线词后文“with food about three times that value”可知，此处指袋子里面装的食物大约是这个价格的三倍。故划线词意思是“装满”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Besides saving meals from ending up in the trash, Too Good to Go’s primary aim is to increase awareness of food waste, eventually encouraging consumers to effect policy change in their local communities.(除了避免食物被扔进垃圾桶之外，Too Good to Go的主要目的是提高人们对食物浪费的认识，最终鼓励消费者在当地社区改变政策)”可知，Too Good to Go的未来可以帮助改善社区的相关政策。故选D。

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.

Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her.

Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you!Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
