（一）
Laura Mitchell,a cycling enthusiast,believes bikes bring kids independence and joy. Yet when teaching her 6 and 9-year-olds to ride,she had to use a school parking lot—their neighborhood has dangerous roads and intersections. Now skilled riders,the kids still can't cycle unsupervised (无人监督的). Mitchell worries about road safety,not her kids' rule-following, admitting,"It's chaotic out there,and I've had close calls."
America's roads have grown more chaotic in decades:higher speed limits,bigger vehicles, and more aggressive,phone-distracted drivers.Though child injuries or deaths from cars while walking or biking have fallen since the 1970s,the CDC says this is because fewer kids go outside,not safer streets. This creates a cycle: drivers unaccustomed to kids drive less safely, causing more accidents. Thus,parents are more anxious and restrictive.
Peter Gray,a Boston College professor,notes that fewer kids are outside,which isn't just for fear of cars. Since the 1980s,society has seen kids as fragile,shrinking their ability to explore independently. He argues childhood's purpose is building independence,and without it, kids miss out on growing up. Though he advocates for kids' freedom,he won't let his 5-year-old granddaughter bike outside—her road has no sidewalks and speeding cars.
Esther Walker,from youth cycling nonprofit Outride,says fewer kids walk or bike to school. Outride works with over 400 American and Canadian schools to teach safe riding. 20-50%of middle-schoolers in the program have never touched a bike. After the program,kids value the freedom,confidence,joy,and new friendships biking brings.
Some parents advocate for safer communities. San Francisco's Mahdi Rahimi started Safe Streets Bernal to push for better intersection
visibility,lower speeds,and protected bike lanes, hoping his kids can walk to the store alone. Eric and Mary Beth Olson's 5-year-old daughter Sidney was killed by a tractor-trailer in 2023. They founded the Rainbow Fund to improve child safety after learning neighbors also avoided the dangerous intersection.
Mitchell now leads Our Streets,a transit safety nonprofit. She notes parents should push for safer spaces, prepare kids for dangers,and wait for the right time to let them explore.

Labubu dolls, created by Chinese brand Pop Mart, are flying off shelves globally. Customers in Shanghai face week-long waits, while celebrities like Rihanna are also wild about them.
This is one example of Chinese consumer brands whose popularity is hiking. For decades Chinese shoppers looked overseas for the latest trends in cosmetics, fashion and more. Now they are pouring to local luxury firms, high-end makeup brands and milk-tea shops. What’s more, many of these brands are gaining a devoted following abroad.
Economic shifts drive this trend. Slower growth has made shoppers price-sensitive, favoring affordable yet quality local brands. Coffee chains Luckin and Cotti compete against Starbucks with lower prices. Even high-end segments (部分) see local dominance: Electric vehicles like NIO and Li Auto lead the “entry-luxury” market.
Cultural pride plays a role as well. Brands like Chagee Tea and Laopu proudly highlight their Chinese roots, contrasting with foreign labels once seen as status symbols. Social media empowers consumers to reject overpriced imports, seeking “emotional value” instead. For instance, formulas (配方) of Mao Geping, which is named after its founder, a famous make-up artist, match those of foreign brands but cost half as much.
Strategic expansion into smaller cities also boosts success. Brands like Mixue, a cold-drink chain boom in third-tier cities, where spending grows faster than in major cities. Pop Mart now operates over 30 stores in the U.S. , while Chagee plans 1,300 overseas outlet s by 2027.
Decades of Western dominance in retail is fading. As Chinese brands combine affordability, innovation, and cultural identity, they’re reshaping global markets — and winning hearts at home and abroad.
（ ）5. What do we know about Chinese shoppers nowadays

B. Cultural roots contributes to brand success.
C. Foreign brands are suffering greatly in China.
D. Domestic brands are regarded as status labels.
（ ）7. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of Chinese brands
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful.
C. Neutral. D. Unconcerned.
（ ）8. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Labubu’s Global Rise: A Pop Mart Success Story
B. The New Wave: Chinese Brands Win at Home and Abroad
C. Smart China’s Shoppers: Price, Preference, and Local Picks
D. Western Brands’ Decline: Lose Ground in the Chinese Market
（三）
What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the bestseller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
（ ）9. Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. British food is actually very interesting.
B. Britain has always had many top-class chefs.
C. The reputation of British food is not very good.
D. Recipe books in Britain are not popular.
（ ）10. What is the main reason for Britons changing their cooking habits according to the text
A. Advertising campaigns. B. TV chefs’ influence.
C. The decline of traditional diet. D. The increase of food courses in colleges.
（ ）11. How many Britons say watching TV cookery programmes encourages them to try different food
A. 1/5 B. 1/4 C. 1/3 D. 3/4
（ ）12. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Cookery shows are less broadcast now.
B. Male chefs on TV make cooking cool for boys.
C. Young people lose interest in cooking.
D. Britons are less obsessed with food.

Situated high above the Los Angeles skyline, the Chemosphere House stands as evidence to architectural innovation. Designed by architect John Lautner in 1960, this modernist house charms with its futuristic shape and innovative engineering, reflecting Lautner’s philosophy of integrating architecture with the environment.
The vision for the Chemosphere began with a commission from Leonard Malin, an aerospace engineer. Tasked with constructing a home on a steep hillside, Malin turned to John Lautner to design a solution that would work with the terrain（地形）, not against it. Malin’s background in aerospace engineering likely inspired Lautner’s exploration of “structural lightness” and “mechanical stability,” laying the groundwork for the building’s revolutionary design.
Known also as the Malin Residence, the Chemosphere is a unique octagonal（八角形的）structure supported by a single concrete column. This design is not only a clever response to the site’s constraints, but also offers breathtaking views of the San Fernando Valley. Inside, spaces radiate around the central column, with living areas placed along the edges to take full advantage of natural light. Though initially met with criticism, the home has since earned worldwide recognition for its distinctive form and structural innovation. Beyond its architectural significance, the Chemosphere has appeared in several films and shows, solidifying its status as a Hollywood cultural landmark.
Today, the Chemosphere House remains a symbol of innovative design. Under the ownership of Taschen, ongoing renovations have preserved its futuristic charm. Its single concrete pillar support system is still as much a conversation starter now as it was in 1960, serving as a tangible reminder of an era when architects dared to reimagine how buildings interact with their environments.
（ ）13. What was the possible source of the Chemosphere House’s design concept
A. The features of the terrain. B. The view of the valley.
C. Malin’s professional background. D. Lautner’s personal experience.
14. What does the underlined word “constraints” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Advantages. B. Restrictions. C. Potentials. D. Influences.
15. What is the significance of the Chemosphere House today
A. It inspires innovative spirits. B. It stands for a special style.
C. It brings in financial benefits. D. It promotes environmental protection.
16. What is the purpose of the text
A. To illustrate how creative ideas turned into reality.
B. To introduce a building fitting in well with surroundings.
C. To promote the design concept of the Chemosphere House.
D. To explain why the Chemosphere House was built this way.
