• 1．Some people believe that a Robin Hood（羅賓漢）is at work while others say that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying.But the donor （1）

  started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper，has made a northern German city believe in fairy tales （童話）.
      The first envelope was sent to a victim support group.It contained € 10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschweig Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who（2）

  （rob） of her handbag；similar plain white anonymous（匿名） envelopes，each containing € 10，000，then （3）

  （arrive） at a kindergarten and a church.
      The envelopes keep coming，and so far at least € 190，000（4）

  （distribute）.Last month，one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office.It came after a story it published about Tom，a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident.The receptionist at the Braunschweig Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of € 500，inside（5）

  there was a copy of the article.The name of the family was underlined.
      "I（6）

  （drive）when I heard the news，" Claudia Neumann，the boy's mother，told DerSpiegel magazine. "I had to park on the side of the road；I was speechless."
      The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment their insurance company refused to pay for.
      "For someone to act so selflessly，for this to happen in such a society（7）

  everyone thinks of himself，was astonishing，" Mrs.Neumann said.Her family wonder whether the donor is a Robin Hood character，taking from banks to give to the needy.
      Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschweig Zeitung，said："Maybe it is an old person who is about to die.We just do not know." However，he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

  The term 'dark tourism' is far newer than the practice，which long predates Pompeii's emergence as a dark attraction.Dr.Philip Stone，perhaps the world's leading academic expert on dark tourism，considers the Roman Coliseum to be one of the first dark tourist sites，where people travelled long distances to watch death as sport.Later，until the late 18th century，the（1）

  was crueler still in central London，where people paid money to sit in grandstands to watch mass hangings.Dealers would sell pies at the site，which was roughly where Marble Arch stands today.
      It was only in 1996 that 'dark tourism' entered the（2）

  vocabulary when two academics in Glasgow applied it while looking at sites associated with the murder of John F.Kennedy.Those who study dark tourism identify plenty of reasons for the growing phenomenon，including（3）

  awareness of it as an identifiable thing.（4）

  to sites has also improved with the arrival of cheap air travel.It's hard to imagine that the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial and museum would now welcome more than two million visitors a year were it not for its nearness to Krakow's international airport.Peter Hohenhaus，a widely travelled dark tourist（5）

  in Vienna，also points to the broader rise in off-the-beaten-track tourism，beyond the territory of popular guidebooks and TripAdvisor rankings. "A lot of people don't want（6）

  tourism and that often means engaging with places that have a more recent history than，say，a Roman ruin，" he says. "You go to Sarajevo （薩拉熱窩） and most people remember the war being in the news so it feels closer to one's own （7）

  ."
      Hohenhaus is also a fan of 'beauty in decay'，the contemporary cultural movement in which urban （8）

  have become subject matter for expensive coffee-table books and a thousand Instagram accounts.The crossover（糅合）with death is clear. "I've always been （9）

  to ruined things，" the 54-year-old says.But while，like any tourism，dark tourism at its best is educational，the example of Grenfell Tower（a London tower block，destroyed by a fire in 2017 with 71 deaths）hints at the unease felt at some sites. "I remember the Lonely Planet Bluelist book had a chapter about dark tourism a while ago and one of the rules was 'don't go back too early'，" Hohenhaus says. "I'll be interested to see Grenfell Tower up close.I can see the （10）

  .But I would not stand in the street taking a selfie merrily."

Section BDirections： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A， B， C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

• 4．I'd spent decades telling my girls that their bodies were a means to a long and satisfactory life，not objects to be admired because of how they look.I told them that good health and the energy to enjoy life should be their ultimate（最終的） goals，not fitting into society's preconceived ideas of what is beautiful.
     This year I'm sixty years old.I appear much older than before.This aging body of mine is not the one I expected to have.Looking at the old，fat，wrinkled woman in the mirror，I begin to complain about it.I've actually spent a lifetime focusing on my flaws，constantly complaining about my less-than-perfect self.As I was complaining yet again，my younger daughter told me，"Mom，jye.ai.Stop putting yourself down.This is the body you live in now.It's beautiful because it's yours. " If I'm unwilling to accept my aging self with grace and dignity，how can I possibly expect my girls to do the same when they face these same physical changes？
     And then，I learned that a friend of mine，the same age as me，died.At her funeral，her three heartbroken daughters spoke of their mother's devotion，wisdom，and compassion（同情心）.They never said a single word about her appearance though her body had melted away during her last months.It didn't matter.I left that funeral desperate to hold my own girls in my arms，to kiss them and tell them how much they mean to me，and to promise that I will do better ，be better—for them as well as for myself.
     And so，to honour the memory of my dear friend and to set a good example to my beloved girls，I promise to love my aging body，and celebrate the gift of being alive.
