1．Leather-making in Florence dates back hundreds of years to the 13th century.A look at leather craftsmen in Florence will help you know more about Italian leather.
The leather factory-PIEROTUCCI
Join a free tour of the factory and you'll get a deep dive into the process of making a handbag.After seeing what it takes to make a bag by hand，you'll no longer wonder why PIEROTUCCI prices come with two zeros at the end.And you'll know that if you do spend the money，the bag will last forever
The leather shoe store—STEFANO BEMER
STEFANO BEMER was famous for its hand-tailored shoes.The elegant store that sells shoes that cost hundreds，and in some cases thousands，of dollars is also where apprentices（學(xué)徒）learn their skills：visible in the front section of the store.
The leather school—Scuola del Cuoio
Walking into the courtyard of the Scuola del Cuoio feels a little like walking onto a mini college campus.You leave the busy street as you enter the historic building.The school specializes in making one-of-a-kind bags and in teaching paying students the secrets of high-quality leather working.
The bookbinding（書(shū)籍裝訂）store——Il Torchio

2．Do you remember the first stop-motion movie，with a galloping（飛奔）horse？Eadweard Muybridge made it in 1872，and the funny thing is—the first stop-motion movie was made because of a bet.The question was：do all four of the horse's hooves （蹄）leave the ground at the same time at any point of the gallop？And Leland Stanford，the founder of the Stanford University，hired Muybridge to help him settle the bet.
Stanford claimed that，at some point of the gallop，all four of the horse's hooves are in the air.Some of his colleagues took a common stand that one foot is always on the ground.It was a popularly debated question of the time，and it was Muybridge's task to provide the answer using his photographic knowledge.
Now，you can imagine that cameras in 1872 couldn't really capture the things moving quickly.Movie cameras still didn't exist，so it was out of the question.So，Muybridge had to get creative.He experimented with a set of 12 cameras.He used them to photograph a galloping horse in a series of shots.His initial efforts seemed to prove that Stanford was right，but he still didn't have the process perfected.
In 1878，Muybridge raised his creativity and skill on a new level.He set twelve wired triggers （觸發(fā)器） connected to shutters （快門(mén)） for cameras.He placed them evenly along the race track to capture the galloping horse.As the horse galloped the race track，it set off the triggers and made every camera take a photo with less than half a second difference.
The photos showed that Leland Stanford was right，and obviously，he won the bet.But this invention was a winning situation for all of us.Muybridge later invented a zoopraxiscope，which was a bit like the GIFs that people now post on social media and is considered an early device for displaying motion pictures.Thanks to photography and his invention，the cinema was born.
（1）Which of the following words best describes the invention of the first stop-motion movie？
A．Difficult.
B．Unexpected.
C．Serious.
D．Interesting.
（2）Why did Muybridge have to be creative？
A．Because he was lacking in devices.
B．Because he was afraid of failure.
C．Because he was short of experience.
D．Because he was interested in experiment.
（3）What can we know about Muybridge's experiment？
A．Twelve horses galloped at the same time.
B．Muybridge invented GIF in the experiment.
C．One camera was used to take photos in the first attempt.
D．The triggers were set off by the horse in the second attempt.
（4）What is the best title for the article？
A．A special history of cinema
B．A popular study about horses.
C．A bet inspired the birth of cinema.
D．A question led to great experiments.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.7 -
3．Qian Jiaqi，39，who took up cycling in Beijing as a hobby，has seen a well-known route he often takes after work become increasingly crowded with fellow cyclists during evenings and weekends.
"This summer on Chang，an Avenue，it's like the Tour do France every night as cyclists on a wide range of bikes constantly try to catch each other，"Qian said."On the avenue，traffic jams are now forming in bike lanes，as well as in those designed for motor vehicles.It's quite funny in a way."
According to business insiders and experienced cyclists such as Qian，cycling in urban areas has become increasingly popular over the past two years in China，which was known as the "Kingdom of Bicycles"in the 1980s and early 1990s.
The emergence of COVID-19，the introduction of cycle lanes，and the seeking of healthier lifestyles have helped relight the nation's passion for cycling.
Chang，an Avenue is the most popular route for cyclists in Beijing，with its two cycle lanes positioned alongside those for motor vehicles.Motorcycles were banned from the cycle lanes on May 9 last year，providing a safer and smoother experience for those turning the pedals（踏板）.Chinese scholar trees planted alongside the bike lanes shade cyclists from the summer heat.
The avenue is also the perfect place to observe different types of cyclists.Those such as Qian always attempt to improve their time，so it's easy to sense their frustration when they have to stop at red lights.Others prefer to ride at a slower pace，never missing the opportunity to take photos of Tian'anmen Square at sunset on their phones.
Qian said，"Many people have discovered the therapeutic（治療的）benefits of cycling during the COVID-19 epidemic.The measures taken to control outbreaks of the disease have resulted in the public longing for activities that give them the feeling of freedom and which are good for their health.Cycling ticks all the boxes."
（1）What can we see in Chang，an Avenue at night this summer？
A．Big crowds getting together.
B．Beautiful scenery like Tour do France.
C．Bike exhibition showing the latest style.
D．Traffic jams due to a large number of cyclists.
（2）What can we learn about the popularity of cycling？
A．The pursuit of healthy lifestyles promoted cycling.
B．The appearance of cycle lanes made cycling possible.
C．The emergence of COVID-19 reduced the popularity.
D．The number of cyclists rapidly increased in the 1980s.
（3）What is the purpose of banning motorcycles from the cycle lanes？
A．To make room for the tree planting.
B．To solve the problem of traffic jams
C．To ensure the bike lanes available for cyclists.
D．To provide the bike lanes for cycling competitions.

9．The Gift of Kindness Will，a nine-year-old boy，was such a kind soul that he brought home birds with broken wings.Money was very short for his family because his mother was ill.Every weekend，Will would mow his neighbors lawns（草坪）to earn a little money.
One hot dry morning，on his way to school，Will saw a man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands.Not far away was his truck.Previously，the man spared no efforts in repairing it，but he failed，exhausted and thirsty.Will came up to him，ready to help.
Hearing Will's greeting，the man raised his head，looked at Will and asked.jye.ai some water.Learning that he had even not had breakfast，Will walked into a shop，fingering the money in his pocket.Eventually，he picked up sandwiches and water.They cost all his money!He shrugged（聳肩），walked back and handed him the food.
The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while introducing themselves.Allan，a boss with a small factory who delivered goods by himself，smiled，"The delivering job is so tiring that nobody seems to want it.By the way，thank you for your food.I'm sorry that I forget to take money with me today.I'll..."
"It's OK.My mom always says we should be kind to the world，and the world will be kind to you!"Will shrugged，"As for the job，don't worry.There must be someone wanting to take it."
"Perhaps.Today，I feel kindness in the world like your mom says.Maybe she is the one the world has been kind to."Allan commented.
Will lowered his head，explaining quietly his mother's situation and his father's just being out of work because of the bankrupt （破產(chǎn)） of the company.Will pointed at a house."My dad says we'll have to sell it to pay for mom's treatment.Sometimes，I hope the world could be kind to our family soon."Tears rolled down Will's cheeks and Allan patted his back gently.But soon，Will wiped his face，shouldered his school bag，waved goodbye to Allan and rushed for school，never imagining he would see Allan ever again.
Allan stared at Will's fading figure，lost in thought
