1 . Thousands of people waited in line for hours until 10: 30 am for the grand opening of the Haikou International Duty Free City Shopping Complex (建筑群) — the world’s largest stand-alone duty-free facility.

Located near the key transportation center of Haikou along the northern coast of the island province of Hainan, the shopping area covers an area of 280,000 square meters and features more than 800 notable brands, including five global firsts and more than 50 stores with the world’s latest concept designs.

In 2021, about one in two travelers to the tropical island visited duty-free shops and one in six purchased offshore duty-free goods. As a result, duty free sales in Hainan accounted for about half of the province’s tourism revenue of the year.

Chen Lin, 37, from Jinan, Shandong, was visiting Hainan with her family and found herself attracted to all the shopping options. “The newly opened complex provides adequate stocks of latest products. What’s more, like us, tourists can purchase duty-free goods at good prices. With convenience and favorable policy, an increasing number of customers from outside Hainan will be attracted to come here,” Chen said.

The large complex brings local cultural forces to the front. The facility’s architectural shape is based on the begonia (秋海棠) flower and incorporates elements such as Haikou’s natural characteristics and ocean culture.

Han Yamei, 48, a local, visited the shopping complex and was amazed by its numerous brands and creative design. She couldn’t help asking her daughter to take photos of her. Han said the opening will not only bring shoppers a beautiful experience, but also give a boost to the local economy, adding that, “It’s located next to Xinhai Port, which is very convenient for visitors by ship to come and shop.”

10 . 阅读下面短文，按要求完成各小题。

Do you want to buy things that are new or second-hand? These days, more and more people want to buy second-hand things. Second-hand things are not only cheap and valuable but also environmental-friendly.

These years, people often buy far more than they need. At the same time, more people are interested in minimalism (极简主义). So the trade among second-hand things is becoming more and more popular. It helps develop the online trading platforms (平台) as well. In those second-hand platforms, people can trade almost all kinds of used products.

Things in the second-hand platforms are much cheaper than new ones, so people can save a lot of money. For example, a new car may cost much money, but you can have a second-hand car with a lower price.

Using second-hand things is also good for the environment. Many things can be recycled many times. So it’s a better choice to sell the things you don’t need as second-hand products instead of throwing them. It can bring the environment less pollution.

People can even find something special and valuable. These things are no longer made nowadays. For example, some people like to buy some old things, including watches, clothes and others. These things often go back 30 years or even more. But as long as they’re good, people can still use them.
