On a cold morning in Copenhagen, a unique three-wheeled bike rolls through the streets. Instead of groceries, its large wooden box is filled with books. Not just any books, but a carefully selected collection of works in Icelandic. This is the mobile bookshop of Jón Gudnason, a former actor and teacher from Iceland.
Gudnason started his unusual business out of a sense of nostalgia (怀旧) and a very practical need. “I missed the sound of my own language,” he said, explaining how difficult it was to find Icelandic books in Denmark. He noticed other Icelanders living in the city felt the same cultural longing. So he decided to do something about it.
He bought the tricycle, built the bookcases himself, and began sourcing books directly from Icelandic publishers. His business model is simple: he cycles to different spots in the city each day, announces his location on social media, and opens his shop for a few hours. The target customers are a mix of homesick Icelanders, curious Danish people, and tourists attracted by the sight.
One of his regular customers, Anna Þóra, an Icelander who has lived in Copenhagen for a decade, said visiting Gudnason’s bike was like a mini cultural recharge. “Seeing these books, smelling the paper... it’s a direct tie to home. It’s more than just shopping; it’s a feeling.”
But is it a workable business? Gudnason admits the profits are slim. The books are expensive to import, and his customer base is small. “This will never make me rich,” he laughed. “But that is never the goal. For me, success is seeing a child get excited about an Icelandic children’s book, or helping a student find a novel for their studies.”
His effort has turned him into a local celebrity and a preserver of culture. He’s not just selling books; he’s selling a piece of Iceland. He offers recommendations, discusses literature, and has become a walking, talking cultural ambassador.
24. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The unusual business. B. The Danish language.
C. The shared homesickness. D. The Icelandic lifestyle.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How the bookshop runs. B. Who funds the bookshop.
C. What inspires the business. D. Where the books come from.
26. What did Anna Þóra think of visiting the bookshop?
A. It helped her fit in with the locals. B. It connected her to her cultural roots.
C. It brought book buyers convenience. D. It offered an escape from the city life.
27. Which of the following best describes Gudnason?
A. A cultural messenger. B. A patriotic publisher.
C. A knowledgeable teacher. D. A conventional businessman.
C
“I want that one — no, that one, over there.” This intention can be said with words, but it’s just as easily communicated through gestures such as pointing and raising your eyebrows. Humans, however, aren’t the only ones who move our bodies to express meaning. Now, research published in Royal Society Open Science has added another animal to the list — elephants. They are also capable of making specific gestures to communicate their desire.
To understand the research, think of how humans get others to do what they want. Lead researcher Dr. Vesta Eleuteri, a behavioral biologist at the University of Vienna, described the essential steps — checking for an audience, signaling, continuing to signal in different ways if the first signal doesn’t get through, and stopping the signaling once the goal is achieved. These are all signs of intentionally using gesture to make others act.
With this understanding, the researchers designed an experiment to see if elephants show similar intentionality. The animals were shown two trays (托盘) just out of reach — one empty, the other full of apples — and interacted with a human experimenter. The scientists ended up observing 38 different gesture types, which the elephants performed only when an experimenter was present and looking at them, often using their trunks (象鼻) to gesture in the direction of the full tray. “It was clear that they wanted the apples,” Eleuteri said. “They’re very expressive.”
However, when the apples on the tray were eaten up, the elephants in the study didn’t keep gesturing. This is because the animals got used to being fed during the training and interpreted being given the empty tray as the “end” of the feeding.
“Further work with wild animals will be required,” Dr. Eleuteri said. Scientists are still trying to figure out how wild elephants influence each other through gestures in the wild. Observing these natural interactions offers crucial clues to the understanding of this gestural language.
28. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By providing data. B. By listing examples.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By making a comparison.
29. Why are humans’ intentional gestures introduced in paragraph 2?
A. To show research limitations. B. To state the research purpose.
C. To explain the research basis. D. To outline the research process.
30. In which case will an elephant gesture according to the study?
A. An experimenter with a full tray.
B. An experimenter with an empty tray.
C. A full tray without experimenters present.
D. An empty tray without experimenters present.
31. What will the follow-up study focus on?
A. Elephants’ adaptation to the wild. B. Wild elephants’ gestures in nature.
C. Elephants’ eating habits in the wild. D. Wild elephants’ interactions with humans.

“A city is not a problem to be solved,” said Marshall Brown, associate professor in Princeton’s School of Architecture. In Brown’s view, a city is a reflection of our social, political and cultural values. New technologies are not so much solutions as opportunities. The technology that has been on Brown’s mind lately is the autonomous vehicle.
Although today’s automakers are investing vast resources into self-driving cars, they’ve given far less thought to the design of the physical urban infrastructure (基础设施) to support them. Take road signs as an example. They were made to tell human drivers what to do. But driverless cars don’t need signs—they can get instructions from the road itself. Autonomous vehicles can navigate (导航) through information embedded in roads, by recognizing patterns, textures or materials. “We store information in the pavement (路面), and this is environmentally sound, and is more beautiful, which is something that we care about in architecture,” Brown said.
Another question is how autonomous vehicles will change the nature of pavement. Traditionally, the pavement steals spaces that could be covered in green spaces. But by making parking mobile, autonomous vehicles allow us to reduce the pavement footprint in the city. Parking by definition is fixed. Personal automobiles mostly sit unused while their owners are at work in the urban environment. However, when cars can drive themselves, they can navigate to lots far from urban centers, reducing the need for large, fixed parking spaces in valuable downtown areas.
With autonomous driving, one change is that mobility will no longer be limited to people with driver’s licenses. People who cannot drive — or children who want to go to a friend’s house — can just hire driverless vehicles that will take them to their destinations. “Once you start thinking even a little bit about the impact of these technologies,” Brown said, “it explodes into thinking about everything at once.”
32. What is Marshall Brown’s view on new technologies?
A. A problem to be solved. B. An opportunity for change.
C. A threat to urban design. D. A sign of social development.
33. How do autonomous vehicles navigate according to the text?
A. By using digital maps. B. By following road signs.
C. By obeying drivers’ instructions. D. By reading the road itself.
34. What might be a consequence of mobile parking?
A. Reduced traffic jams. B. Less travel time.
C. Increased green coverage. D. More parking lots.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What Problems New Technology Might Bring
B. Why Cities Should Welcome More Future Cars
C. What Driverless Cars Could Mean for Environment
D. How Autonomous Vehicles Could Reshape Our Cities

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I grew up in Sichuan, but I only learned to cook surprisingly late in life, after moving to Germany when I began missing the taste of home. My first adult kitchen was in a small shared flat in Berlin-Mitte. Out of necessity, I turned to Xiachufang, a Chinese user-generated recipe (菜谱) app, and taught myself a handful of dishes. 36 And over the next decade, I must have made it at least fifty, if not a hundred times.
I know I’m not alone. For many Chinese immigrants, tomato and egg is the first dish we master once we leave home. 37 It only began appearing in Chinese kitchens in the 1940s, yet it somehow became the most “default (默认的)” of home-cooked meals.
38 Some will claim no version (版本) tops their mother’s. Others chase down hidden menu at high-end restaurants or drive across Chengdu just for the plate everyone says is “the best”.
For all its simplicity, with just tomatoes, eggs, oil, and salt, some versions do taste better than others. 39 This summer, though, with late-season tomatoes at their peak, I decided to test what actually makes a difference. I cooked plate after plate, sometimes five or six times within two weeks. At one point, I threw a batch (一批) into the fridge, determined never to see tomato and egg again. 40
A. They were an absolute treat.
B. Tomato and egg stir-fry was one of them.
C. The dish often pulled me back to my childhood.
D. The surprising fact is that the dish itself is relatively young.
E. Today, tomato and egg are both universal and deeply personal.
F. Yet the next day, I reheated it, paired it with steamed rice, and ate up the whole thing.
G. For years, I made mine with the cheapest supermarket tomatoes I could find in Germany.

Along the southern edge of the Maowusu Desert, an apple harvest is in full swing. Farmers move through trees, their baskets filling with fruit that shines in the warm autumn light. It’s 56 scene of abundance (丰盛) that would have been unthinkable just twenty years ago. The transformation is part of a quiet agricultural revolution — the northward march of Shaanxi’s apple belt, extending hundreds of kilometers into 57 was once an unyielding desert.

It was a fresh spring morning. Johnny stood on the top of Broomstick Hill and took great, happy gulps (大口吸) of the sunny air and the cool smell of new things growing. It was not a day for sitting around. No sir. Johnny was off for a hike and a day of adventure! He threw over his shoulders his backpack, dug his hands in his pockets and started down Broomstick Hill.
When passing by the Professor’s house, he stopped short. There, on the water of the Professor’s pond were two wild ducks. They were black, with touches of brownish yellow, and they swam like anything.
“Hi, Johnny!” smiled the Professor, “I’ve tidied up the pond for these two newcomers. The fat one is Stuffer and the one standing on his head in the water is Diver.” Johnny smiled back. He liked seeing the Professor’s pond—it was always clear and bright. And he liked the Professor. Winter or summer, spring or fall, he was always doing something interesting, something to do with birds, or bugs or animals.
After saying goodbye to the Professor, Johnny started down the hill again. He walked on and on and then came a loud, unusual sound! Johnny looked up. There, high above his head, was a long line of ducks. They quacked (嘎嘎叫), beat the air with their wings and flew high and proud right through the blue spring sky. One lonely duck was left, though, for it could not fly.
Walking closer, Johnny saw its shiny brown feathers, a yellowish bill and a twisted (变形的) wing — that was why it could only swim slowly. But seeing it slide lazily on the water, Johnny knew it was the most beautiful duck he had ever seen. He took some biscuits from his backpack and dropped in the water. Next second, the duck stretched down and up and the biscuits were all gone! Then a Fourth-of-July-sort-of-idea exploded inside Johnny’s head. He would catch that duck and bring it home! It would be his own duck to keep!
