A(2024陕西宝鸡一模)
Michael Yellowlees set off to complete a 5,000-mile walk across Canada in the spring of 2021,wearing a kilt(短褶裙)and carrying a few items in a handcart,including a guitar.The 32-year-old musician from Dunkeld,Scotland,walked from the shores of the Pacific Ocean to the east coast of Newfoundland on the edge of the North Atlantic with his pet dog,Luna,an Alaskan husky,by his side.
Speaking about the Scottish Highlands,Mr Yellowlees said,“It is a beautiful landscape,but with a strong sense of sadness because of the absence of woodland,wildlife and people.So I decided to walk across the great wildernesses of Canada to raise funds for Trees for Life,a Scottish rewilding charity,and its work to restore(恢复)Scotland’s Caledonian Forest.”
The enthusiastic walker shared some of his experiences,including meeting black bears and hearing wolves howl at night.He also mentioned a moment when he lost Luna after she jumped out of a little boat during a trip in the waterway section of the Great Canada Trail in Northern Ontario.
Yet Mr Yellowlees was deeply touched by the warmth of the people along the way.In every town and village,people offered him food,shelter and donations.And he was accompanied into towns and cities by marching pipe bands and interviewed by newspapers,the radio and TV.
Steve Micklewright,chief executive officer of Trees for Life,said,“We followed Michael’s journey across Canada with respect and admiration.Restoring native habitats and wildlife to the Scottish Highlands is a big task that no one can do alone.But Michael’s extraordinary journey is proof that an individual can really make a difference.”
Bob Davidson,one of Michael Yellowlees’ friends,said,“This is not a slow walk in the park,but a long march with heavy equipment on the rough road at an incredible pace.He’s an amazing guy.”

B(2024湖北八市一模)
The hens look up at me from their nesting boxes.They seem slightly annoyed but unsurprised.A child runs up,pushes one of the chickens aside,and snatches two eggs.Around me,a half-dozen more children and adults collect eggs while a half-dozen others hand-feed dried mealworms to birds flocking around our ankles.I reach for an egg from an empty nest.There is something perfect about the way it fits warmly in the palm of my hand before I transfer it into a pretty wire basket provided to me by my hosts.
The egg harvest is a brief,carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food.Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don’t constitute a full day’s work,but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn’t just magically appear on restaurant plates or grocery store shelves.Of course,visitors can take those eggs home or bring them to the on-farm restaurant,Clay,where a chef will use them to prepare breakfast.
A few centuries of industrialization,urbanization,and globalization have collected people into cities,but the attraction of the countryside has always remained.In the new urban-centered world,enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops.Italy promoted the modern model for combining agriculture and tourism in the wake of World War Ⅱ,when the national government encouraged rural populations to continue producing food rather than move to urban areas in search of more profitable jobs.
Agritourism acts as an umbrella term for a wide variety of activities that take place on farms,including farmstays,where guests sleep on-site.For varying investments of time,energy,and money,anyone can engage in our farming system,giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world.
5.Why does the author describe children and adults collecting eggs in the beginning
A.To introduce agritourism.
B.To describe the use of eggs.
C.To show the innocence of the children.
D.To emphasize the happiness of the children and adults.
6.What is accessible to consumers in agritourism activities
A.Engaging in planting vegetables in person.
B.Doing some simple but meaningful farm-work.
C.Enjoying some self-made egg products on the farm.
D.Clarifying the farm-to-table concept through practice.
7.What can you learn from the last two paragraphs
A.The appeal of rural life gradually fades away due to industrialization.
B.The desire to search for more well-paid jobs accelerated the speed of agritourism.
C.Italian government’s calls contributed a lot to the trend of moving from villages to cities.
D.Promising farmers were dedicated to promoting their lifestyle along with agricultural products.
8.What is the author’s attitude toward agritourism
A.Doubtful. B.Dismissive.
C.Supportive. D.Sympathetic.

In the bustling city of Shanghai,a unique café is set to open its doors.Unlike any other,this café operates in complete darkness,offering a sensory experience like no other.It is staffed by baristas who are visually impaired,with a mission to raise awareness of the challenges they face and the strength they possess.
Upon entering,customers are greeted with walking sticks to navigate the dark interior.For the next few minutes,the world fades away,and one must rely on senses other than sight to savor the coffee.“Feel the long table with your hands,” instructs a guide,“and find your seat on the bench.”
The coffee itself is a journey of taste and memory.“Does it remind you of white rabbit candy ” asks a barista,referring to a popular Chinese sweet.The answer is often a delighted “Yes”,as the familiar flavor sparks a connection.
One of the baristas,Zhang Zhiwen,lost her vision at 28 due to an accident.It was a devastating blow,but her father’s question,“Can you see that trash can in front of you ”sparked a change.With determination,she identified the object,and her father’s response,“Exactly.Since you can see,I’ll take you around the world.” marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life.Along with five other visually impaired baristas,she has turned her life around and now runs the café.Their stories are unique,yet they share a common goal:to make others understand the world through their eyes.

Chen Tong,a visitor,reflects on the experience:“In this room,sight is irrelevant.You engage with the world through hearing,touching,smelling,and tasting.It’s a reminder of the challenges faced by the visually impaired.”
The café is scheduled to open on Wednesday,December 4th.For those interested in this extraordinary experience,reservations can be made online.
