So the following European cities are trying to reduce the number of cars in the streets. ● Copenhagen, Denmark Beginning in the 1960s, Denmark's capital pioneered walker-only zones and the city now has over 321 kilometers of bike routes. Over half of the people in Copenhagen ride bicycles to work. Denmark is building a superhighway of 28 routes for bikes that'll connect the city to its surrounding suburban areas.

B 21 Spoons is a restaurant aimed at bringing back the appeal of intimate (亲密的) dining. “This restaurant kind of fell into my lap,” says chef and owner Ann Butler, “I own the cooking school next door to it, and this space was empty for quite some time, and it seemed to be saying, ‘Do you want me?’” After working in Fairfax and Chesterfield public schools, Butler started her cooking school, Edible Education, 12 years ago, hoping to change the dietary habits of kids. The occurrence of the pandemic halted Butler's cooking classes, as students were unable to attend in person. "We didn't have any kids taking classes," she says. "I didn't know how long it'd be before we saw students again, so I thought, we got to do something." So, Butler opened 21 Spoons in March of 2021, focused on small plates and shared bites from ratatouille flatbread to deep-fried deviled eggs. "I took it over at a time when everyone was closing their restaurants in Richmond," Butler says. This allowed her to start her new business in a way that made people feel more at ease during such a stressful time. Butler says the service and size of the restaurant-24seatsare what make people feel more comfortable and what allow them to open during the pandemic. “We opened during a time when everyone was scared, so we wanted to build a space where you could come and rest, back to old-school, old-fashioned service.” Butler says the architectural plat (建筑区) for the space was unit 20. “I saw somewhere that a chef has 39 spoons,” she says, “and it was unit 20, so I thought, ‘How about 21Spoons?’ since we opened in 2021.” While Butler says there'll be no 22 Spoons, she describes 21 Spoons as a “creative gift”, allowing her to combine passions and build something beautiful for the community. 24. What does the underlined word “halted” mean in paragraph 3? A. Stopped. B. Improved. C. Added. D. Reduced. 25. Which word best describes the atmosphere of eating in 21 Spoons? A. Amazing. B. Inspiring. C. Relaxing. D. Touching. 26. Why is unit 20 mentioned in the text? A. It is where the restaurant is currently located. （北京）股份有限公司 B. It started Butler's passion for the food industry. C. It is associated with the menu of the restaurant. D. It offered inspiration for naming the restaurant. 27. In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A. History and education. B. Food and drink. C. Art and music. D. Shopping and style. D Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist. In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image, titled Théatre D'opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示). Allen's winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It's one of three such images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney's Discord server on August 25, along with pictures of his three entries; it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen's win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons
