The Top 100 City Destinations Index 2023, produced by data company Lighthouse, looked at leading cities from around the world and ranked them on criteria (标准) including tourism, sustainability, economic performance and health and safety. Paris has once again been named the world's most attractive city destination.
Europe took the lead, with seven out of the top 10 cities and 63 countries in the top 100. The only non-European cities in the top 10 were Dubai at No. 2, Tokyo at No.4 and New York at No.8. Madrid came third,while Amsterdam, Berlin and Rome were at Nos. 5, 6 and 7 respectively. Barcelona and then London rounded out the top 10. Asia did well in the top 20 as Singapore(11), Seoul(14), Osaka(16) and Hong Kong(17) all made the list.
The report owes Europe's success to“fast-paced urban ization(城市化) and widespread technology adoption”.Travelers now focus on high-speed internet, flexible booking options and spaces for remote working. The report said,“Improving sustainability, transportation networks and social impact are some of the key goals cities are embracing today to increase competitiveness, improve their tourism offer and deliver a perfect customer journey.”
Tokyo entered the top 10 for the first time, which the report says is because of improved tourism infrastructure(基础设施), the easing of Covid-19-related regulations and the weakened Yen—which offers international visitors great value for money.
Istanbul topped the list for the number of international arrivals in 2023, followed by London and then Dubai.The cities with the biggest year-on-year growth were Hong Kong(2,495%) and Bangkok (142%).

A. Free internet connection. B. Flexible booking choices.
C. Larger spaces for fun. D. Cheaper transportation.

My name is Oorbee Roy. I'm also known as Aunty Skates. I started skateboarding when I was 43 years old. Ithought it's too late for me. I'm going to get hurt. I'm going to fall.
Once my kids started skateboarding and my husband was skateboarding, I said:“You know what, I don't care about any of that.”All I know is I don't want to be standing here all the time.
I started skateboarding in a sari(纱丽) during Covid. I was also trying to keep the kids entertained. And I said:“Let’s go to the skate park. I'm going to take my sari, and we’ll see what happens.”My daughter was with me. She got in the skating bowl, and took some videos. I felt like I was flying the moment I skated. Something got set on fire.
Seeing a 40-something-year-old South Asian mom skateboard in a sari—it is the visual representation that anything is possible. I think it doesn't reach the cultural standard and maybe smashes some stereotypes(刻板印象).And that's what really related to people and within four months of being on TikTok, I had over 100, 000 followers.
Skateboarding has taught me so much about how to live my life. When you fall, you get back up. You learn from your fall, and then you go back and you do it again.
I've had women in their twenties come up to me and say:“Hey, thank you so much for showing me that I can,you know, grow up, get married, have children, and still be a skater. I don't have to give up on that.”
25. What did the author feel the first time she skated
A. Embarrassed. B. Angry. C. Excited. D. Painful.
26. What does the underlined word“smashes”in paragraph 4 mean
A. Breaks. B. Creates. C. Combines. D. Reflects.
27. Why did some women talk to the author
A. To prove their devotion. B. To get away from their families.
C. To share their hobbies. D. To show their appreciation.
28. What does the passage try to convey
A. Failure is the mother of success. B. It is never too late to learn.
C. It's no use crying over spilled milk. D. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
C
Going for a walk is a popular leisure activity among older and younger generations alike because of its well-known benefits for our physical and mental health. But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking along mountainous ridges have not always been considered leisure activities, according toDaniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism(徒步主义).
He says that in Britain, walking for fun“wasn't really a thing”until the 1780s. Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, and some people associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens,the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and walking around the countryside was a big part of the creative process; a time to absorb what was going on around him. He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd.
But if speed-walking isn't your thing, perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer.19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to walk slowly over hills,fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits, unless he spent four hours a day walking at least.
In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature, may make all the difference to our wellbeing. Whether you see yourself more as a casual walker or a purposeful strider, why not build a habit out of it
29. What was walking regarded as before the 1780s
A. A leisure activity. B. A political movement.
C. A productive process. D. A necessary behavior.
30. Why did Charles Dickens walk through London streets
A. To get rid of trouble. B. To look for inspiration.
C. To experience pain. D. To make friends.
31. Henry David Thoreau is mentioned to .
A. call on people to take a walk whatever reasons are
B. show speed-walking is not popular among people
C. stress it is necessary to think while walking
D. inform health and spirits are related to each other
32. What is the author's attitude towards walking
A. Crazy. B. Uncertain. C. Positive. D. Negative.
D
An 80-year-old German man has been named the world's most frugal (节俭的) millionaire for living off food and stuff found in rubbish bins despite owning several properties worth millions of euros.
Heinz B. looks like a homeless person, but never judge a book by its cover. He may only have ?15 euros in his bank account at the moment, but that's only because he just withdrew 700,000 euros to buy a new home, his tenth.It was reported that he owned 7 houses and 2 apartments. Interestingly, he makes sure to buy properties(房地产) in his area, so he can reach them by bike in case they need repairs and he can do it himself. Besides, he claims to have been frugal his whole life, so he doesn't really need money to get by. He is more than happy living on food found in dumpsters and collecting all sorts of things other people throw away.
“Maybe I'll buy some oil for frying if it runs out, but I find most of the food in the trash,”Heinz recently toldGerman newspaper Bild.“People are wasteful and throw away so much that you could feed a whole family! For example, people buy a pack of sausages, eat one, and then simply throw the rest in the trash.”The retired electrical engineer has a monthly pension(退休金) of?3,600. Apart from the 5 euros he might spend on food every month,his expenses only include an internet connection for his laptop. A cell phone is impossible, as that would cost him an extra 10 euros.
With no immediate family to share his fortune with, Heinz B. doesn't know who he'll leave his wealth to when he passes away. He has some distant cousins, but he says they can't afford to pay the inheritance tax, so he is considering leaving some of the properties to the tenants(租户) possibly.
33. Why did Heinz buy properties in his area
A. Because he got used to living here. B. Because he can get to them by bike.
C. Because it was easy for him to collect food. D. Because it was cheaper to live there.
34. How many properties does Heinz have
A. 5. B. 7. C. 10. D. 15.
35. In paragraph 3 Heinz'frugality is shown by .
A. giving examples B. offering comparison
C. analyzing reasons D. describing results
36. Who is to get Heinz's wealth according to paragraph 4
A. His cousin. B. His tenant.
C. It is not mentioned. D. It is not decided yet.
37. What's the main idea of the passage
A. A retired electrical engineer has much pension.
B. A homeless person becomes the wealthiest in the world.
C. World's most frugal millionaire search through trash cans for food.
D. A lonely rich man has no one to share his fortune with.

In 2022, Taylor Swift won a Songwriter-Artist of the Decade award. 41 She describes the majority of her songs as having a“modern storyline or references, with a poetic twist”and commonly uses real life experiences and conversations as influence.
Aside from lyrics, an important part of many songs is the instrumental backing. This is often created with chords, where at least three notes are played at the same time, often on a piano or guitar.

Dear President.
I hope this email finds you well.As an active member of our English Club,I've noticed a recent decline in both
the frequency of our activities and the enthusiasm among our members.
To renew our club.I suggest organizing more engaging and interactive events.We could host workshops on
English speaking and writing.or invite guest speakers to share their experiences.Additionally,we could establish
smaller groups within the club to focus on specific interests,such as readingclubs or debate teams.
By boosting a more diverse club culture,we can awaken the passion and excitement among our members.I
believe these ideas have the potential to bring our English Club to new heights.
Looking forward to your thoughts on this matter.
Best regarda.
LiHua
