Mom died just before the Christmas season the year before, after a short battle with cancer. At the age of seventy-two, she had been well prepared for her death, but I was not.
Of both French and Indian background, she had a gentle, soft touch. All her life, Mom was there for me; although now a grown woman, I still needed my senior parent for advice and comfort. We were the best of friends, and over the years, we shared, laughed and cried together.
I often found myself wearing her red sweater, which had been Mom’s favourite, and it was faded and worn from years of use. To cope with my grief, I would imagine my mom wearing the red sweater and reaching out to comfort me. Her warm hands, worn and shrivelled (干枯) from age and work, had cared for a large family, and brought life to plants and flowers.
Mom lost both her cultures when she married my father, a white man, and moved from her island to live on his. When she arrived in isolated and rural Cardigan at the age of eighteen, she began to learn English. Sadly, her knowledge of both French and her native Chinook began to fade away.
One of my favourite memories are the native powwws (帕瓦仪式) we attended on Panmure Island. First Nations people from all over North America travelled there to participate in the powwows. It was an opportunity for Mom to mingle with the First Nations people, wear her native shirt, dance in the sacred circle and socialize. She loved going to those powwows and I remember her proudly telling an elder once, “I’m Indian, too.” Although she had moved into the white man’s world when she married, she never lost her Chinook heritage of strong native spirituality, deep respect for the land, and love for the outdoors-all of which she passed on to me and my eight brothers and sisters.
Now, her image travels with me when I feel grief and pain. She always wears the red sweater and for an instant, our hands join. Death has not separated us.
19. Why did I keep Mom’s red sweater
A. It was a gift from my mom as my best friend.
B. It held many memories and offered me comfort.
C. It was Mom’s favourite despite its overuse.
D. It witnessed my growth from a girl to a woman.
20. Why did Mom love to attend the native powwow
A. She felt isolated and wanted to make friends there.
B. She lost her culture after she married my father.
C. She was eager to be identified with her ancient roots.
D. She was passionate about outdoor activities.
21. Which of the following best describes Mom
A. Quiet and considerate. B. Strict and determined.
C. Talkative and humorous. D. Hardworking and caring.
22. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Silenced Cultural Identity B. A Valuable Heritage
C. The Red Sweater D. Journey to the Roots
C
The concept of “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to relevant data, the search volume for the keyword “Guochao” increased by 392.66% year-on-year from January to July 2022. The Baidu 2021 Guochao Pride Search Big Data Report revealed that interest in guochao has skyrocketed over the past 10 years. Domestic products are now in fashion, and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice for the new generation of consumers.
China chic integrates unique cultural elements with the latest trends across various industries. It not only meets younger consumers’ desire for personality and fashion but also helps revive traditional culture. The rise of China chic is a result of China’s rapid economic development and is driven by certain cultural motivations. Additionally, the continuous improvement of Chinese people’s consumption power is an important factor behind the rise of China chic.
Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force behind the rise of China chic. Five thousand years of Chinese civilization have left behind a rich cultural heritage. In many ways, guochao is the perfect representative of the new wave of Chinese cultural pride. Originating in the fashion industry, this trend reflects Chinese consumers’ renewed interest in their cultural heritage. The guochao trend is strongest among young adults who have grown up in an increasingly powerful China and thus possess a strong sense of national pride. China’s national strength is growing, and its soft power is also on the rise.
Even so, we still have a long way to go in promoting China chic. But as it has become a part of people’s lives, there is no doubt that even more diverse China chic products will emerge in the future to showcase Chinese charm.
23. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the first paragraph mean
A. Risen sharply. B. Dropped obviously.
C. Remained stable. D. Changed slightly.
24. Which best describes “China chic”
A. It aims mainly to promote Chinese exports.
B. It mixes traditional culture with current trends.
C. It attracts mostly middle-aged and older consumers.
D. It draws major inspiration from Western fashion styles.
25. What is identified as the primary driver behind the rise of China chic
A. The expansion of China’s economy.
B. The growth in people’s purchasing power.
C. A renewed sense of cultural identity.
D. The influence of social media on the youth.
26. What does the author imply about the future of China chic
A. It will soon lead global fashion.
B. It will need more policy support.
C. It will remain a small market.
D. It will continue to develop and diversify.
D
From an airplane, cars moving slowly down the highway look like ants. But unlike cars, actual ants somehow manage to avoid stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up.
The previous research by Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist at the University of Tokyo, had shown that foraging (觅食的) ants can maintain their flow even when it’s very crowded. So what’s their secret In a recent study, researchers recorded Ochetellus ants on foraging paths and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of three to twenty that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another — and they don’t speed up to pass others.
Human drivers at rush hour are hardly likely to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interest of individuals, which is why at a given point you start to have a traffic jam,” says study co-author Nicola Pugno, who studies solid mechanics at the University of Trento in Italy. However, self-driving cars could have more cooperative programming if they one day become widespread. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to enhance traffic flow by prioritizing (优先考虑) constant speeds and time intervals or by not passing others on the road. This vehicle network would be similar to ants on a path, which use scent to coordinate behavior while interacting with one another.
However, today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam: don’t tailgate. By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can prevent small slowdowns from turning into big traffic jams. Maintaining a steady speed rather than frequent speed-up and braking (刹车) can also help reduce the likelihood of traffic jams, making the journey smoother and safer for everyone on the road.
27. Why do ants never get caught in traffic jams
A. They are small and travel slowly. B. They have a special sense of direction.
C. They always move in a similar foraging path. D. They keep a steady speed and a suitable distance.
28. How might self-driving cars reduce traffic jams
A. By adjusting routes in real time. B. By moving along the dedicated lanes.
C. By sharing data with surrounding vehicles. D. By monitoring road conditions with sensors.
29. What does the underlined word “tailgate” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Brake suddenly. B. Follow closely. C. Drive quickly. D. Turn sharply.
30. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Reasons for Modern Traffic Jams B. Methods to Manage Traffic Flow
C. Ant-Inspired Solutions for Smoother Traffic D. Interaction-Based Traffic Systems on City Roads

Mom died just before the Christmas season the year before, after a short battle with cancer. At the age of seventy-two, she had been well prepared for her death, but I was not.
Of both French and Indian background, she had a gentle, soft touch. All her life, Mom was there for me; although now a grown woman, I still needed my senior parent for advice and comfort. We were the best of friends, and over the years, we shared, laughed and cried together.
I often found myself wearing her red sweater, which had been Mom’s favourite, and it was faded and worn from years of use. To cope with my grief, I would imagine my mom wearing the red sweater and reaching out to comfort me. Her warm hands, worn and shrivelled (干枯) from age and work, had cared for a large family, and brought life to plants and flowers.
Mom lost both her cultures when she married my father, a white man, and moved from her island to live on his. When she arrived in isolated and rural Cardigan at the age of eighteen, she began to learn English. Sadly, her knowledge of both French and her native Chinook began to fade away.
One of my favourite memories are the native powwws (帕瓦仪式) we attended on Panmure Island. First Nations people from all over North America travelled there to participate in the powwows. It was an opportunity for Mom to mingle with the First Nations people, wear her native shirt, dance in the sacred circle and socialize. She loved going to those powwows and I remember her proudly telling an elder once, “I’m Indian, too.” Although she had moved into the white man’s world when she married, she never lost her Chinook heritage of strong native spirituality, deep respect for the land, and love for the outdoors-all of which she passed on to me and my eight brothers and sisters.
Now, her image travels with me when I feel grief and pain. She always wears the red sweater and for an instant, our hands join. Death has not separated us.
19. Why did I keep Mom’s red sweater
A. It was a gift from my mom as my best friend.
B. It held many memories and offered me comfort.
C. It was Mom’s favourite despite its overuse.
D. It witnessed my growth from a girl to a woman.
20. Why did Mom love to attend the native powwow
A. She felt isolated and wanted to make friends there.
B. She lost her culture after she married my father.
C. She was eager to be identified with her ancient roots.
D. She was passionate about outdoor activities.
21. Which of the following best describes Mom
A. Quiet and considerate. B. Strict and determined.
C. Talkative and humorous. D. Hardworking and caring.
22. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Silenced Cultural Identity B. A Valuable Heritage
C. The Red Sweater D. Journey to the Roots
【答案】19. B 20. C 21. D 22. B

The concept of “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to relevant data, the search volume for the keyword “Guochao” increased by 392.66% year-on-year from January to July 2022. The Baidu 2021 Guochao Pride Search Big Data Report revealed that interest in guochao has skyrocketed over the past 10 years. Domestic products are now in fashion, and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice for the new generation of consumers.
China chic integrates unique cultural elements with the latest trends across various industries. It not only meets younger consumers’ desire for personality and fashion but also helps revive traditional culture. The rise of China chic is a result of China’s rapid economic development and is driven by certain cultural motivations. Additionally, the continuous improvement of Chinese people’s consumption power is an important factor behind the rise of China chic.
Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force behind the rise of China chic. Five thousand years of Chinese civilization have left behind a rich cultural heritage. In many ways, guochao is the perfect representative of the new wave of Chinese cultural pride. Originating in the fashion industry, this trend reflects Chinese consumers’ renewed interest in their cultural heritage. The guochao trend is strongest among young adults who have grown up in an increasingly powerful China and thus possess a strong sense of national pride. China’s national strength is growing, and its soft power is also on the rise.
Even so, we still have a long way to go in promoting China chic. But as it has become a part of people’s lives, there is no doubt that even more diverse China chic products will emerge in the future to showcase Chinese charm.
23. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the first paragraph mean
A. Risen sharply. B. Dropped obviously.
C. Remained stable. D. Changed slightly.
24. Which best describes “China chic”
A. It aims mainly to promote Chinese exports.
B. It mixes traditional culture with current trends.
C. It attracts mostly middle-aged and older consumers.
D. It draws major inspiration from Western fashion styles.
25. What is identified as the primary driver behind the rise of China chic
A. The expansion of China’s economy.
B. The growth in people’s purchasing power.
C. A renewed sense of cultural identity.
D. The influence of social media on the youth.
26. What does the author imply about the future of China chic
A. It will soon lead global fashion.
B. It will need more policy support.
C. It will remain a small market.
D. It will continue to develop and diversify.
【答案】23. A 24. B 25. C 26. D

From an airplane, cars moving slowly down the highway look like ants. But unlike cars, actual ants somehow manage to avoid stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up.
The previous research by Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist at the University of Tokyo, had shown that foraging (觅食的) ants can maintain their flow even when it’s very crowded. So what’s their secret In a recent study, researchers recorded Ochetellus ants on foraging paths and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of three to twenty that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another — and they don’t speed up to pass others.
Human drivers at rush hour are hardly likely to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interest of individuals, which is why at a given point you start to have a traffic jam,” says study co-author Nicola Pugno, who studies solid mechanics at the University of Trento in Italy. However, self-driving cars could have more cooperative programming if they one day become widespread. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to enhance traffic flow by prioritizing (优先考虑) constant speeds and time intervals or by not passing others on the road. This vehicle network would be similar to ants on a path, which use scent to coordinate behavior while interacting with one another.
However, today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam: don’t tailgate. By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can prevent small slowdowns from turning into big traffic jams. Maintaining a steady speed rather than frequent speed-up and braking (刹车) can also help reduce the likelihood of traffic jams, making the journey smoother and safer for everyone on the road.
27. Why do ants never get caught in traffic jams
A. They are small and travel slowly. B. They have a special sense of direction.
C. They always move in a similar foraging path. D. They keep a steady speed and a suitable distance.
28. How might self-driving cars reduce traffic jams
A. By adjusting routes in real time. B. By moving along the dedicated lanes.
C. By sharing data with surrounding vehicles. D. By monitoring road conditions with sensors.
29. What does the underlined word “tailgate” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Brake suddenly. B. Follow closely. C. Drive quickly. D. Turn sharply.
30. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Reasons for Modern Traffic Jams B. Methods to Manage Traffic Flow
C. Ant-Inspired Solutions for Smoother Traffic D. Interaction-Based Traffic Systems on City Roads
【答案】27. D 28. C 29. B 30. C
