try Luckin Coffee’s new Moutai-flavored latte.She was curious about how her beloved coffee tastes with Chinese liquor in it,41to sample this“young people’s first sip of Moutai”,“The aroma of the alcohol is very strong and is well blended with the milk,”Lin told.The partnership between China’s top liquor maker Kweichow Moutai and domestic coffee chain Luckin Coffee has become both a hot topic and a moneymaker,selling5.42million cups and grossing(总共赚得)100million yuan just on Sept4,the product’s42date,China Daily reported.The coffee drink,43with an iconic Moutai-themed label and containing less than0.5percent(alcohol by volume)of53degrees Moutai,is priced at38 yuan,although consumers can get it for19yuan using coupons.“I44the spirit of innovation of the two brands,and the spirit is also shared by young people,”said Lin.In recent years,Moutai has embarked on various creative campaigns to45to younger customers,introducing products like Moutai ice cream,scented sachets(香囊)and canvas bags.“This partnership lets Moutai make its brand younger,”Li Honghui,a marketing director for drinks,also pointed out that such innovative cooperation can bring 46to both brands.“Through partnerships,brands can share resources,expand the market,and bring more diversified products to consumers,”Li said.In2023,China’s brand partnership market is47to surpass a scale of100billion yuan and is projected to approach300billion yuan by2025,according to China Quality Daily.However,flawed partnerships may lead to negative consequences.Take the collaboration between Chinese coffee chain Manner and French luxury brand Louis Vuitton(LV),for example.Consumers could get a free LV canvas bag by buying at least two books in the coffee shop.The two books would cost at least580yuan.The campaign was harshly criticized for the high barrier of48to receive the gift and many people doubted whether it was worth the price.Similarly,in July this year,milk tea brand Heytea and jewellery brand Chow Tai Fook jointly launched a peach-flavored drink,which was mocked by internet users as neither49nor tasty.They said that peaches had nothing to do with Chow Tai Fook,and that the drink was too sweet with not enough peaches.“It’s important to50 the high quality of the products in these partnerships rather than merely generate hype(炒作),”Li said.Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection A(15’)Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The term‘dark tourism’is far newer than the practice,which long predates Pompeii’s emergence as a dark 51.Dr Philip Stone,perhaps the world’s leading academic expert on dark tourism,considers the Roman Coliseumto be one of the first dark tourist sites,where people travelled long distances to watch death as ter,until the late18th century,the appeal was52still in central London,where people paid money to sit in grandstands to watch mass hangings.Dealers would sell pies at the53,which was roughly where Marble Arch stands today.It was only in1996that‘dark tourism’entered the scholarly vocabulary when two academics in Glasgow54 it while looking at sites associated with the murder of John F.Kennedy.Those who study dark tourism identify plenty of55for the growing phenomenon,including raised awareness of it as a(n)56thing.Access to sites has also improved with the arrival of cheap57travel.It’s hard to imagine that the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial and museum would now welcome more than two million visitors a year were it not for its58to Krakow’s international airport.Peter Hohenhaus,a widely travelled dark tourist based in Vienna,also59the broader rise in off-the-beaten track tourism,beyond the territory of popular guidebooks and TripAdvisor rankings.“A lot of people don’t want mainstream tourism and that often means engaging with places that have a more60 history than,say,a Roman ruin,”he says.“You go to Sarajevo(萨拉热窝)and most people remember the war being in the news so it feels closer to one’s own life story.”Auschwitz-Birkenau Marble ArchHohenhaus is also a fan of‘beauty in61’,the contemporary cultural movement in which urban ruins have become subject matter for expensive coffee-table books and a thousand Instagram accounts.The crossover(交叉风格)with death is clear.“I’ve always been drawn to62things,“the54-year-old says.Nevertheless,like any tourism,dark tourism at its best is educational,the example of Grenfell Tower(many“tourists”flooded to a London tower block,destroyed by a fire in2017with71deaths)hints at the63felt at some sites.“I remember the Lonely Planet Bluelist book had a chapter about dark tourism a while ago and one of the64was‘pay due respect’,”Hohenhaus says.“It’s big,it’s dramatic,it’s black and it’s a story you’ve followed in the news.I’ll be interested to see Grenfell Tower up close.I can see the attraction.But I would not stand in the street taking a selfie

several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)We lost another tree in our last storm,and it broke my heart.Thanks to the large amounts of rainfall here in the Pacific Northwest,tree roots don’t grow very deep or provide a strong anchor against the wind.We have lost many trees through the years,but this one was different.About17years ago,I joined the Arbor Day Foundation,and they sent me10Canadian blue spruce seedlings. Our property has many large Douglas firs,which are magnificent trees,but I wanted to add some variety.I planted my blue spruce seedlings along the driveway,and I did all I could to protect them.Shortly after that,a storm with gusts up to129km/h ripped through our area and took down many of our fir trees. My seedlings survived.But when we decided to join our neighbor in selling our downed trees to a logger,we had to move the seedlings to keep them from getting destroyed.Sadly,five of the10blue spruce trees didn’t survive being moved.Of the five that lived,three were in our front yard,where I could watch them grow into mature trees from my front window.When one of the big Douglas firs that towered over them died,we decided to cut it down before it fell.After much debate,my husband,Eldon,and my son-in-law Gary Parker decided they could drop it without hitting any of the blue spruce trees.I watched breathlessly as the drama unfolded,praying the whole time I heard the chainsaw.The fir fell right between two of them as planned,and my trees continued to grow.Then one night I was lying in bed during yet another windstorm and heard a loud noise,followed by the sound of a tree crashing down.The next morning I awoke to find the largest of our blue spruces lying on the ground;I was incredibly upset.For17years,I’d enjoyed watching it grow from a seedling to a tree nearly40feet(12.2meters)tall. Now it was gone!Losing my tree was hard to accept,even though I knew that it was nature’s way.I also knew there was only one thing I could do about it.Another10new seedlings recently arrived from the Arbor Day Foundation.I planted them in a safe spot close to the house.When they’re a little larger,I’ll transplant them to a permanent spot where I can watch them grow tall and beautiful.66.Why does the author share the fact that the tree lost in the last storm was“different”in the first paragraph?A.Mainly because it was a rare Canadian blue spruce.B.Mainly because it had survived many strong windstorms.C.Mainly because she had devoted a great deal of effort to protecting it.D.Mainly because the author once signed an agreement with the Foundation.67.The author has lost many trees mainly because________.A.most trees were too weak to protect themselves from the windstormB.many trees did not survive after being relocated to a permanent spotC.she plants trees along the driveway where the wind affects them greatlyD.the amount of rainfall there means tree roots can’t provide firm support68.Which of the following is TRUE?A.All the blue spruces were coincidentally uprooted in the last severe storm.B.The author’s family cut the fir to make room for the blue spruces around it.C.The author planned to sell blue spruces to a logger when they were mature.D.The author was worried that cutting the dead fir would hurt the blue spruces.69.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.The author couldn’t get over the fact that she had lost her blue spruces.B.The author wanted to fight against nature by planting more trees.C.The Arbor Day Foundation provides guidance about transplantation.D.The author is hopeful about the new blue spruces she has newly planted.(B)Your Day,Your

the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team.In its original sense,however,culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group,nation,or empire:its physical environment,history,and traditions,its social rules and economic structure,and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another.It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate.People acquire a culture because they are not born with one.The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods,accented speech,or an outlook on the world over time,therefore,is known as enculturation(文化适应).Cultures are often identified by their symbols—images that are familiar and coated with meaning.Totem poles (图腾柱)carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes(部落).In Asia and India,the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor’s family was allowed to wear.Thus,different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently.For example,to some a flag may represent pride,historical accomplishments,or ideals;to others,however,it can mean danger or oppression.To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own,the beliefs,behaviors,and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening.A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric(from the Greek ethnos,meaning“people,”and kentros,meaning“center”).A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and,possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree,and some aspects of ethnocentrism,such as national pride,contribute to a well-functioning society.An appreciation for one’s own culture,however,does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture.History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together.Extreme ethnocentrism,in contrast,can lead to racism—the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one’s own race is superior to all others.73.The underlined word“innate”in Paragraph2most probably means________.A.avoidableB.developedC.instinctiveD.managed74.According to the passage,the statement which is TRUE is________.A.Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group,nation or empireB.Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from anotherC.An ethnocentric country opens welcoming arms to cultures different from its ownD.People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image75.What can be inferred from the passage?A.All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society.B.Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude.C.Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures.D.Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world.76.The most proper title of the passage might be________.A.Culture,a Faithful Mirror of HistoryB.Culture,the Origin of Racial SuperiorityC.Culture,the Vigor of World DevelopmentD.Culture,a Distinctive Identity of a NationSection C(8)Directions:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.In many ways,our courage to imagine helps push back the boundaries of possibility.B.Therefore,as you can see evidenced by such examples,age has absolutely nothing to do with it.C.What’s even worse than restriction is that adults often underestimate kids’abilities.D.The reality,unfortunately,is a little different,and it has a lot to do with trust,or a lack of it.E.For better or worse,we kids aren’t held back as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things.F.But there’s a problem with this rosy picture of kids being so much better than adults.For kids like me,being called childish can be a frequent occurrence.Every time we make irrational demands or exhibit irresponsible behavior,we are called childish.Take a look at these events:imperialism,colonization,world wars,etc.Who’s responsible?Adults.What have kids done?Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust,Ruby Bridges helped to end segregation in the United States,and,most recently,Charlie Simpson helped to raise120,000pounds for Haiti on his little bike.77The traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults that we should delete this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.Then again,who’s to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren’t exactly what the world needs?Maybe you’ve had grand plans before but stopped yourself,thinking,“That’s impossible,”or,“That costs too much,”or,“That won’t benefit me.”78Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking.Like my wish that no one went hungry or that everything were a free kind of utopia(不切实际的空想).Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of utopian ideals can be a burden because you know that if everything were free,then the food stocks would become depleted and scarce and lead to chaos.But in order to make anything a reality,you have to dream about it first.79For instance,the Museum of Glass in Tacoma,Washington,has a program called Kids Design Glass, and kids draw their own ideas for glass art.The resident artists said they got some of their best ideas through the program because kids don’t think about the limitations of how hard it can be to blow glass into certain shapes;they just think of good ideas.Our inherent wisdom doesn’t have to be insiders’knowledge.Kids already do a lot of learning from adults,and we have a lot to share.I think that adults should start learning from kids.Learning between grownups and kids should be reciprocal(相互对等的).80If you don’t trust someone,you place restrictions on them.Adults seem to have a universally restrictive attitude towards kids from every“don’t do that,don’t do this”in the school handbook to。
