One sunny morning, a baby bear was following his mother through the sunshine in a mountain forest. Suddenly, his mother stopped, smelling the air. She realized that something terrible happened. Then she turned around and asked her baby bear to run away with her. They began to run away with all the other forest animals. The baby bear was not strong enough, so he was left behind. The poor baby bear watched heavy smoke and fire coming nearer to him. Finally, he couldn’t do anything. He had to climb a tree and stayed there for a long time. He was so lucky that the fire only hurt him a little. But he was very afraid. After the forest fire was put out successfully, a fireman went to the forest to check the situation. He was surprised to find a baby bear on the top of a burnt tree. Then the fireman took the baby bear to the zoo. The zookeeper looked after him very well and he got better soon.

Antonio’s friend, Bassanio, needs money to marry a woman named Portia. Antonio agrees to borrow the money from Shylock on the condition that if he cannot repay the money, Shylock can take a pound of his flesh.
Meanwhile, Portia’s father has left a will stating that any man who wishes to marry her must choose the correct casket out of three, one gold, one silver, and one lead. Many men have tried and failed, but Bassanio correctly chooses the lead casket and wins Portia’s hand in marriage.
Back in Venice, news reaches Antonio that his ships, which were carrying his goods and making him money, have been lost at sea. He is unable to repay his debt to Shylock, who demands his pound of flesh as agreed.
Portia, disguised as a lawyer, arrives in Venice to help Antonio. She argues that Shylock must take it without losing any blood, as stated in their agreement. Shylock is forced to give up his claim, and Antonio is saved.

With a habit of drinking coffee while working, Wu Zibo, an office worker in Beijing, wanted to order a cup of Moutai-flavored latte（茅台味拿铁）. “I want to know how my father’s favorite Chinese liquor（白酒）would taste with my favorite coffee,” Wu said.
Moutai has tried many ways in recent years to be more innovative, such as by bringing out Moutai ice cream and canvas（帆布）bags.“This cooperation（合作）lets Moutai make its brand younger,” shared Li Honghui, a marketing director for drinks. Through cooperation, brands can share what they need, make the market bigger, and bring more creative products and new experiences to buyers.
The team-up between China’s top liquor maker Kweichow Moutai and famous coffee brand Luckin Coffee has become a hot topic, selling 5.42 million cups and earning 100 million yuan just on the first day. Topics related to Jiangxiang Latte gained over 110 million viewers and over 20,000 online discussions on China’s social media platform Sina Weibo as of the press time on the second day.
In 2023, China’s cooperation market will grow to over 100 billion（十亿）yuan and may reach 300 billion yuan by 2025, according to China Daily. However, poorly considered cooperation may have bad results and even hurt brands. “The key to making a cooperation work is about how good the products are. The companies should not just focus on getting the public excited,” said Li.
58. From Paragraph 1, we can know that _______.
A. Wu Zibo wants to taste Moutai-flavored latte
B. Wu Zibo often buys Chinese liquor for his father
C. Wu Zibo’s father likes drinking Moutai-flavored latte
D. Wu Zibo ordered a cup of Moutai-flavored latte for his father
59. What does the underlined word “innovative” in Paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese
A. 传统的 B. 日常的 C. 有名的 D. 创新的
60. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The popularity of Moutai-flavored latte.
B. The advantages of Moutai-flavored latte.
C. The sales of Moutai-flavored latte in China.
D. The purpose of creating Moutai-flavored latte.
61. What is Li’s suggestion for companies
A. Bringing out new products quickly.
B. Focusing on the public’s true feelings.
C. Paying attention to the product qualities.
D. Choosing famous companies to cooperate with.
D
When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea, reported China Daily.
In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to (属于) the same family as salmon (鲑鱼), which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too.
Why do farmers there choose to grow fish The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily.
To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river.
At the same time, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp (南美白对虾) grows well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert (沙漠) where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water.
Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea.
62. Rainbow trout live comfortably in _____.
A. any open water area B. warm and clean rivers
C. salty and warm water D. cold and clean rivers
63. People turn their eyes from Japan’s seafood to Xinjiang’s because _____.
A. Xinjiang’s seafood is much more delicious
B. the sea environment is polluted
C. people find a new sea in Xinjiang
D. Xinjiang produces all kinds of seafood
64. To avoid water pollution caused by growing fish, the company _____.
① cleans the water with machines ② grows fish in fixed water areas
③ grows one kind of fish once a year ④ cuts down the fish production (产量)
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④
65. Why is Whiteleg shrimp introduced in the article
A. To show the importance of rivers to a country.
B. To introduce the safety of eating seafood.
C. To compare it with common whiteleg shrimp.
D. To show another “seafood” grown without using the sea.

A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check(账单). I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills(钞票) inside. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip. I reached down to pick the first one.
At that moment, my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a busboy (餐厅勤杂工) in a restaurant much like the one we were in. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent. I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces at the end of the day.
I blinked (眨眼睛) and was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hardworking waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart.
We are all one family in this world. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person and replace suffering with joy.
76.When did the writer take his family to the restaurant
77.What was the writer’s job when he worked at the restaurant
