12、ow what youre gonna get.” Its the same with blind boxes.Each of these small, sealed (密封的) boxes contains one of many toys in a series. The buyer doesnt know which one theyve gotten until they open the package. In recent years it becomes big business in China.During the Double 11 shopping day, Pop Ma
13、rt, a leading blind box company in China, sold 55,000 Labubu dolls on Tmall in just 9 seconds, according to a Tmall report.One reason for their popularity is the appealing (诱人的) appearance inside the boxes. Theyre like small cartoon characters. They can be placed anywhere in your home as a decoratio
14、n. But another, perhaps more important reason people like them is the fun of being surprised.“The most interesting thing about blind boxes is the gap between what you expect and what you get,” said wen Xi, a blind box collector from Beijing.Last year, over 200,000 Chinese customers spent more than 2
15、0,000 yuan collecting blind boxes.

For Alison Jenson, 15, th
17、is used to happen several times a week. Alison was a shopaholic. She just couldnt stop shopping and she loved special offers. Alisons bedroom is full of stuff. “Ive been to every shop in Birmingham, I think,” says Alison. She picks up some earrings. The labels are still on them. “These were half pri
18、ce,” she says. “Ive never won them.” Alisons problem wasnt just jewellery. She also bought a lot of clothes, though not many shoes, because they were usually too expensive. She has also bought lots of other small things-like 20 new covers for her phone. She hasnt used any of them. According to exper
19、ts, we all feel excited after we buy something new. For shopaholics, its a little different. Soon after they buy something, they think theyve made a mistake and start to feel unhappy. So they buy themselves something else to feel happier. Psychologists(心理学家) first described the problems of shopaholi
20、cs in 1915. However, there was very little research on the subject until recently. Now, doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem, and the situation is getting worse. There are also more teenage shopaholics now, although most young people dont have enough money to go shopping very re
21、gularly. Alison knew she had a problem. “I often bought something every day. Usually it was something small, but I just needed to buy it,” she says. “I spent money that I got for my birthday, and when I was short of cash, I borrowed money from friends or my parents. When I couldnt go shopping, I fel
22、t anxious. Then one day, my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said, This is crazy!Iknew they were right. I needed some big changes in my life.” Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed. She no longer thinks shes a shopaholic. “When I want to buy something in
23、a shop, I ask myself two questions,” she says. “Do I need it? Can I afford it? The answer to both questions is usually no, so I walk away. Its great!”23The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to _.ApsychologistsBdoctorsCAlisons friendsDAlisons parents24Which word can best describe Alisons f

25、ly way shopaholics can feel happy.26The best title for the passage above might be _.AShop Till You Drop!BShopping Makes Me Happy!CYoud Better Shop Less!DI Can Stop Shopping Now!Walking towards the house slowly, Emma stopped to cut off fading flowers or dead leaves now and then. There were few weeds
26、(杂草). Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden. Emma wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside because she wanted to avoid talking to her. But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us, Emma told herself. She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as
27、 her college was out for the summer. She said she wanted to stay longer but couldnt because she had to work. Moreover, she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read.“Why do you have to go to college to study art?” Emma asked her. “All the great
28、artists didnt go to college.”Yuki shook her head. “That was a different time. Its hard to explain.”“I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist. This is a nice quiet place to live.”“I dont know. How would I support myself here?” “You can always give lessons.” Emma sai
29、d. “But I dont want to spend a long time looking at kids drawings.”“What will you do after you graduate, anyway? Will you become a teacher somewhere else then?”“Grandma, I dont know.” Yuki sighed. “What is the use of going to college if you dont know what youre going there for?” “Maybe Im going beca
30、use I dont know. I just want to study art now. I dont want to think that far ahead.”The minute Emma was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat. “Im going to the garden to weed your flowerbed,” she said, “Let me know if theres some
31、thing else I can do.”On Yukis visit, Emma felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable (易怒的). Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.27We know from the article that Yuki was _.Aa gardenerBan artistCan art teacherDa c
32、ollege student28From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that Yuki wanted to _.Aweed the flowerbedBfinish the dialogueCleave Emmas gardenDtake some photos29It can be learnt from the passage that _.AEmma and Yuki had very different ideas about collegeBEmma wasnt satisfied with Yukis work in th

34、ing tests with passengers. It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years time. The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a c
35、apsule (太空舱) tied to a balloon the size of a football field. They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars. Although the price is yet to be fix
36、ed, the expensive flight, which will take six hours, is likely to cost over 100, 000. Because the capsule remains within the Earths atmosphere (大气层), no special clothing or training are needed. It means that older people or those with health problems will be included. One problem may be the method o
37、f landing back on the Earth. The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea. Passengers, spacemen, capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship. Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises, while
38、the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines. The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket. Space travel may soon be a reality (现实), but how visitors get there is still a very ope
