My favorite place to eat at is a noodle shop. The shop is near my school. It's not big or beautiful, but it's clean and tidy. I go there because I like the delicious food and the wonderful service.

The noodle soup is the best I have ever had. The soup has a rich taste that is not very salty. It's served with my choice of Xiangtan rice noodles. And I usually get the noodles topped with some beef, pork or a fried egg. Just the smell from a bowl of rice noodles makes my mouth water.

The shop also serves some other delicious food, including soybean (豆浆), porridge, spring rolls and dumplings. People in the neighborhood often go there for breakfast. After a good meal, they always leave with a big smile and welcome a day of work or study full of energy.

Besides the high-quality food, it also provides me with top service. When I come into the shop, I am warmly greeted by people working there. They give me the most friendly smile and sometimes the warmest words. And they always put a lot of vegetables in my noodle soup for free. They say they want me to be healthy.

Bobi, the world's oldest dog, just celebrated his 31st birthday on May 11, 2023.

A party was held on Saturday at his home in a Portuguese (葡萄牙的) village. More than 100 people attended the party. Local meat and fish were served to the guests and Bobi, who only eats human food.

Mr. Costa owned several old-aged dogs in the past, but he never imagined any of his dogs would reach their 30s. What has helped Bobi's long life? Mr. Costa believes the “quiet and peaceful environment” in which Bobi lives matters. Also Bobi has enjoyed a free and happy life in the nearby forest. But he thinks the most important reason is that the “very active” dog has never been lonely.

Now in Bobi's older years, he finds it difficult to walk. Just like old-aged humans, Bobi sleeps a lot. He lies down in bed at once after eating, although on cold days he chooses to take a short sleep by the fire. He refuses to walk in the forest. Instead he prefers to hang out at home in the yard. Only little Costa, Mr. Costa's son, can ask him for a walk outside.

Mr. Costa, now 38, was only 8 years old when Bobi was born. “Bobi is special because looking at him is like remembering the family members who have already left this world, like my grandparents.” Mr. Costa said.

31. Bobi was born on May 11, _____________.

A. 1981 B. 1992 C. 2014

32. What kind of food does Bobi eat?

A. Human food.  B. Dog food.  C. Cat food.

33. According to Mr. Costa, which is the most important reason for Bobi's long life?

A. He lives in a quiet and peaceful environment.

B. He's lived a free and happy life in the forest.

C. The “very active” dog has never been lonely.

34. In Bobi's older years, who can ask him for a walk outside?

A. Mr. Costa.  B. Little Costa.  C. Mrs. Costa.

35. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Bobi and His Owner Mr. Costa

B. Bobi's Happy Birthday Party

C. Bobi, the World's Oldest Dog

People are getting more worried about the effect (影响) of fast fashion on the environment.

Fast fashion is making clothes in large numbers at a low price. Factories make 100 billion (十亿) pieces of clothing every year. The fast fashion business is doing great harm to the environment. Many of the clothes end up in rubbish bins and are not recycled. A French scientist wrote: “Every year in Europe, four million tons of clothing ends up in the rubbish. Less than 1% of this is recycled.” Another bad effect on the environment is caused by the chemicals (化学物品) used to make clothes. These also cause health problems to people working in clothes factories.

The way people buy clothes is making the problem of clothing waste worse. Many years ago, people went to stores and tried clothes on. They spent more time and thought more carefully before buying clothes. They also wore them for longer. Today, people order cheap clothes online. And if they don't like them, they send them back. Some people buy clothes and never ever wear them. This is leading to a throw-away society.

So next time before you buy new clothes, think carefully if you truly need them. If not, don't buy them! Your action will make a difference to the environment.

36. Fast fashion is making _____________in large numbers at a low price.

A. rubbish B. clothes C. books

37. The French scientist wrote that _____________of the clothing was recycled.

A. less than 1% B. more than 10% C. about 20%

38. What's the main idea of paragraph 3?

A. The way of buying clothes causes a worse clothing waste problem.

B. Some people nowadays like to order their clothes on the Internet.

C. Some people like to buy lots of clothes but never ever wear them.

39. What does the writer want people to do?

A. To be more interested in making clothes.

B. To buy clothes online instead of in stores.

C. To think twice before buying new clothes.

40. Which part of a magazine can we read the text from?

A. Culture.  B. Health.  C. Environment.

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

On May 15, 2023, a 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province made new history. Xu Zhuoyuan became the youngest Chinese girl to succeed in reaching the top of Mount Qomolangma. What makes it more meaningful is that the year 2023 marks the 70th anniversary (周年) of the first human being achieving the impossible dream.

Mountain climbing is one of the world's most dangerous sports, and one of the most popular places for this is Mount Qomolangma. It is about 8, 848. 86 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds, heavy snowstorms and freezing weather conditions make the climbing more difficult. However, these difficulties didn't scare Xu away. She wanted to challenge herself. She has been training hard to make her dream come true.

On April 15, she left Changsha for Nepal (尼泊尔). On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and made preparations for the huge task. At 10 p. m. Beijing time on May 14, Xu began her journey from Camp 4. The climbing was very hard, and it took her 10 hours to reach the top.

Although she is quite young, Xu has already climbed five mountains over 5, 000 meters in China. When she was 12 years old, she said on Hunan TV, "I will climb Qomolangma.” Four years later, she kept her promise. Her spirit shows us that we should challenge ourselves in the face of difficulties. It also shows that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams.

41. When did Xu reach the top of Mount Qomolangma?

42. What is one of the world's most dangerous sports according to the text?

43. Did the difficulties scare Xu away?

44. How many hours did it take Xu to reach the top from Camp 4?

45. What can we learn from Xu?

Good afternoon, everyone. It's my honor to be the first speaker. I'm Michelle from the pros (正方). 66. We agree that kids should share chores at home. And we have the following reasons.

For example. kids can do the dishes or clean the rooms. Sharing housework also helps them to understand the idea of fairness.

Then, doing chores together helps bring the family closer. When kids help mom fold the clothes, they can have lovely chats about what has happened during the day. 69. It's helpful for kids to relax. Besides, just as the saying goes “Many hands make easy work.”, the chores will be finished more easily if everyone does something.

Lastly，doing chores helps the kids to grow. 70.它教会孩子们照顾自己 and helps develop their independence. So the earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
