Citywalk is a type of experience of exploring a city in an immersive (沉浸式的) and slow way. Instead of quickly going to crowded tourist spots, people are choosing to explore busy markets, old streets and interesting alleys (小巷) slowly.
Citywalk is very popular with young people. They are often too busy with their work to explore local areas. Citywalk lets them do this in a fun and relaxing way. This shows that people are starting to want a slower way of life. They want to enjoy things more and don’t want to be in a rush all the time.
Beijing is working hard to fix up old parts of the city. People there are also using new and creative ideas to make the city keep up with the time. In the last few years, Beijing has made many changes to the area around the Liangma River. People have fixed the river banks, planted more trees and flowers, added lights and cleaned water. They want to make the area nicer and better for the environment. As a result. they built an 800,000-square-meter riverside park next to the Liangma River. It helps turn the Liangma River into a “people-friendly river”, being a nice place to visit for people in Beijing.

Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers,“ Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is just across the bus stop. ”
In the countryside of America, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains. So the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas (堪萨斯州) , for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico (墨西哥) , no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan think “I don’t know” is not polite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

Alyson is an 8-year-old girl from Kansas. Maurine is a 9-year-old girl from a village called Bartabwa in Kenya. It might not seem as if the girls have much in common. But when they met at a dinner several years ago, in Kansas, they became friends at once.
The dinner was hosted by the group World Vision International. In some parts of the world, people must walk several miles each day to collect water from a stream (小溪) or another water source. Often the water is polluted. World Vision International builds wells (井) and rain catchers in these communities.
Alyson was at the dinner because her family supports World Vision International. Maurine was there because her village had been without clean water. World Vision International solved that by building a water station there. Alyson was influenced by Maurine. “People helped Maurine so she could have clean water, and kids are dying because they don’t have it.” Alyson says, “I want to help.”
Races are one way World Vision International raises money to pay for its water projects. Runners promise to run a race, often a 26-mile marathon or 13-mile half marathon. They ask people to support them by giving away money to World Vision International.
Alyson decided to run the 2017 Kansas City Half Marathon for World Vision International. She’d raised $20,000. She was the youngest person in the history of World Vision International to raise more than $10,000 at a time. In 2018 she ran again ... and raised $36,000. Alyson and Maurine still keep in touch. Last year, Maurine went to the US and they met up in Chicago. But Alyson’s work is not finished. “My purpose is for every kid to have clean water,” she says.

The world is changing all the time. Life today is getting easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but the changes have brought some new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. We can see it, smell it, drink it, and even hear it.
People are building the Earth but they are also polluting it at the same time. The more people there are, the more pollution we have. People always take away farmlands to build houses or factories. They kill animals to eat them or make money with their fur. They throw waste things here and there and dump waste water into rivers directly.
Now air pollution is still the biggest one in all kinds of pollution. It is bad for all living things. That’s mainly because of the heavy traffic. Some scientists say it will be much better if people ride bikes instead of driving cars. When you are riding, there is no pollution. But in many countries, people don’t want to go to work by bike. It is not because bikes are expensive or people are tired if they ride to work, but because the roads for cars become better than before. More people put away their bikes and go to work by car or by bus. Then things are getting worse and worse.

Chongming Island is at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is the third largest island in China.
One of the biggest advantages of a holiday in Chongming is that it’s really close to the city of Shanghai. When I visited the island in 2021 with my parents for the first time, we took Bus Shen-Chong Line 2 from Pudong, Shanghai. It took us thirty minutes from our home to the bus stop in Pudong. And the one-way trip to Chongming Island took only one and a half hours.
We stayed at a comfortable resort (度假胜地) in the east of the island first. We spent the morning visiting Chinese-style buildings and large gardens. ▲ Then in the afternoon, we spent some hours exploring (探索) the Dongtan Wetland Park—its lakes, bamboo, birds and sheep. On our second day, we visited the Chongming Museum. The museum tells stories of the island’s history. There was a show about old boats and the famous traveler Zheng He. The food there was really fantastic, too. I especially liked fish and Chongming rice cake.
If you are free, go to Chongming Island! You will certainly have a relaxing time there!

Fed up with tourists who only come in to check out the scenery, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a 5-euro fee for coming in just to look.
Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching locations in all of Barcelona. The vintage (老式的) look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract hundreds of tourists every day, but the problem is that many of them aren’t actually interested in the products sold inside—all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines, etc. According to the store, many tourists enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”, wander around taking pictures, and then simply leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge people for “just looking” just to discourage (劝阻) them.
Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge tourists a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as the staff and the regular customers became increasingly inconvenienced (打扰) by random tourists looking around, taking pictures, with absolutely no interest in the products on display, they decided to do it.
Merino has clarified that he and his partners have no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don’t really have to anymore. By posting a warning about the 5-euro fee in the shop window, they have managed to discourage most unwanted visitors.
After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria spread quickly on social media, the Barcelona business faced a public outcry, and it was forced to explain the reasons and clarify that it didn’t really plan on carrying on the measure.
94．What can we learn about Queviures Murria
A．Tourists are not welcome there. B．It has a history of nearly 100 years.
C．Tourists prefer its design to its products. D．It charges people for taking photos.
95．Why did the grocery store put up the sign
A．To provide a better shopping environment. B．To earn a fame (名声) for itself.
C．To attract more tourists to the store. D．To make more money.
96．What did Merino mean by saying “they don’t really have to anymore”
A．They stopped charging tourists for coming in and looking around.
B．The idea was just a joke among staff and was never carried about.
C．Tourists no longer come to this place because they don’t want to pay.
D．There is no need to charge because unwanted visitors don’t come in now.
97．What’s the public’s opinion on the measure
A．Opposed. (反对的) B．Objective. (客观的)
C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned. (不在乎的)
98．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A travel journal. B．A news website.
C．A fashion magazine. D．A debate (辩论) program.
I was sitting in a Beijing cafe drinking a coffee with my friend. We were at a table looking out a window into a hutong. Many people were walking past us, but one Chinese couple stopped and stared. I smiled and waved back. Then, to my surprise, they took a photo of us! The lady even came up to the window and posed in front of us for another photo. It was very funny and we were all laughing.
A few weeks later, I was visiting the beautiful coastal (海滨) city of Qingdao with two friends. People stared at us and wanted to say hello everywhere we went. It was like we were famous people!
So why were we getting so much attention I think it’s because even though there are many foreigners, like me, living in China today, they are still kind of “rare (罕见的)”. This is especially the case in smaller cities, where there are fewer foreigners. This is probably why we were so popular in Qingdao, but didn’t get as much attention in Beijing.
But China is not the only place this happens. I have traveled to India, Brazil, Per and even the United States and been treated differently, too. Brazilians and US people always want to chat with you, but Indians are by far the most curious (好奇的). When I visited, children and adults were always staring and taking pictures. The best way to deal with it is just to smile, laugh and enjoy it!
99．Where is the writer probably from

A．Because Qingdao sees fewer foreigners.
B．Because people in Qingdao are more friendly.
C．Because many foreigners work in coastal cities like Qingdao.
D．Because there aren’t many foreigners in Beijing.
102．What does the underlined word “treated” mean in Paragraph 4
A．聊天 B．核对 C．查询 D．对待
103．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Travelling in China
B．A Foreigner’s experience in China

D．Traveling in foreign countries can make you popular.
Recently, the term “carbon neutral (碳中和)” has been used frequently (频繁地) at some important meetings in many countries. So as middle school students, what can we do to protect the environment (环境) and live a low carbon life Here are some suggestions (建议) for you.
Travel in a green way. Now more Chinese people have cars of their own. It has brought us a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. So we’d better do more walking, cycling and less driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce pollution.
Cut down (减少) white pollution. We should reduce the pollution of plastic bags (塑料袋). When you go to the supermarket, bring your own shopping bags.
Save water. Lack of water resources will affect the ecological environment (生态环境). So please turn off the tap after using it.
Sort the rubbish. Doing garbage classification (垃圾分类) in a right way can turn waste into wealth (变废为宝).
Plant more trees. Planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint (碳足迹) and spreading of greenhouse gases. For example, the trees planted in China are playing an important role. A report published in Nature shows that CO2 absorption (吸收) in two new forest areas in China is more than we thought. The two areas are located in China’s southwestern and northeastern provinces. They make up over 35 percent of China’s carbon sinks (碳汇). The main natural carbon sinks are trees and other plants.
Use both sides of the paper. The paper production process uses a lot of trees.
Now is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Let’s join our hands and take actions immediately.
104．How many suggestions does the writer give in the passage to be carbon neutral

A．①②③④⑤ B．①③④⑤ C．①④⑤ D．②④⑤
106．China’s carbon sinks are mainly located in the ________.
