26、   Research has shown that the global fashion industry is harming our planet, as well as those who are a part of its supply chains, in an unprecedented (前所未有的) manner, which is also the second largest polluter of the planet and one of the largest contributors to modern-day slavery. Much of this has been exacerbated (使加剧) through the rise of our clothing consumption habits.

Our obsession with inexpensive, trend-focused clothing—otherwise known as “fast fashion” — is creating grave consequences for the environment, as well as the millions of people who are responsible for manufacturing the clothing we wear. Only one statement is needed to bring attention to the gravity of the situation: More of us care less about the people who make our clothing are treated fairly.

As with many industries, the globalization of fashion stripped the humanity from the process of purchasing and wearing clothing. We no longer see the direct impact our wardrobe has on the person whose business is responsible for clothing us. It’s not the tailor down the street who is outfitting us, but the corporations of all sorts who are making it all too easy (and affordable) to purchase clothing as a commodity. What these large corporations have done is remove the humanity and distance their consumers from the realities of how our clothing is made.

It can be hard to believe in our current age of automation, but the reality is that the clothing manufacturing process remains largely human-powered, We need to bring the humanity — the human connection between consumer and producer-back to the forefront of the conversation.

【1】Why is it easy to buy clothing as a product?

A. Because there are many companies manufacturing clothes.

B. Because there are many tailors down the street.

C. Because people are rich today.

D. Because of the globalization.

【2】Which of the following statements is not true?

A. People cares more about their own wardrobe than the producer.

B. The global fashion industry only affects our environment.

C. The author thinks people need to think about the humanity.

D. Our obsession with cheap and fashion clothing contributes to the pollution of the environment.

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word?

A. Dead. B. Tomb.

C. Serious. D. Violent.

【4】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Why the fashion industry is the second largest polluter of the planet?

B. The side effects the global fashion industry may bring.

C. People are more and more crazy about inexpensive, trend- focused clothing.

D. Large corporations has changed the fashion industry.

27、   Sometimes big ideas come in tiny packages. That’s true for Bryan Ware, the founder of the nonprofit organization The Crayon Initiative, which recycles the crayons children use at restaurants to give to children in need.

Ware, who has a background in producing and packaging, went out to dinner with his family one night when he took notice of a box of crayons on the table. The restaurant provided them and his boys used them to color on the paper tablecloth. There was nothing unusual about either of the two things. But Ware thought something more. Ware knew that most of the crayons at restaurants would be thrown away after their first use because people worried that germs on them might cause disease. While the wax of a crayon is easy to clean and doesn’t hold many germs, the wrapping paper is a different story.

So now Ware is trying to improve the situation. After speaking with a friend who works as a child life specialist at the University of San Francisco Medical Center, Ware decides to work with hospitals in the area to bring the crayons to their young patients. We know that child life specialists help sick children deal with the uncertainty of their conditions. They hold a child’s hand during medical treatment or provide food and clothing for his or her family members.

So far, The Crayon Initiative has donated over 20,000 packs of crayons to 38 hospitals in 17 states, but it’s the positive influence, not the number, that matters to Ware. Ware recently received a photo from a family whose daughter had unfortunately passed away. It was a picture of a plastic pencil box, and it was what the girl carried with her through her stay in hospital. Wherever she had to go, this was her little box of stuff to keep her happy. These kinds of stories make the effort all worthwhile for Ware.

【1】What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A.Ware didn’t think restaurants should provide crayons.

B.Used crayons with wrapping paper hold fewer germs.

C.Restaurants usually provide crayons for kids free of charge.

D.Ware’s idea about his organization came to him by accident.

【2】What do we know about child life specialists from the passage?

A.They help doctors look for cures for diseases.

B.They provide food and education for young patients.

C.They bring comfort to kids fighting against illness.

D.They need money to help poor kids pay hospital bills.

【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Ways of Achieving a Big Dream

B.Recycling Crayons for a Good Cause

C.A Successful Man and His Magical Crayons

D.Solutions to the Problem of Crayon Pollution

28、Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say — far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out.

“Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.”

He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”

Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude.

Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.

The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job.

【1】What is Mary’s problem?

A．She was too self-conscious.

B．She had nothing to say with people.

C．She had too many thoughts in mind.

D．She didn’t know how to communicate.

【2】Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary?

A．To offer advice on her development.

B．To make her feel comfortable.

C．To give her a job promotion.

D．To point out her problem.

【3】How did Mary feel when creating her essay?

A．Confident.

B．Unsure.

C．Serious.

D．Relaxed.

【4】What can we know from Mary’s experience?

A．It is never too late to learn.

B．Actions speak louder than words.

C．Losses on one side and gains on the other.

D．Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence.

29、It’s clear that COVID-19 conditions have affected people’s stress levels, sleep, and mental health. This, in turn, has led to our poorer performance on tasks that require attention, memory, or decision making. 【1】 Here are some steps you can take to clear the fog away.

Be more intentional about consuming news.

Nowadays we’re exposed to the ever-changing recommendations around COVID. Many social media make their money by grabbing our attention. 【2】 To reduce stress and keep sharp, you can cut down your media consumption and be more intentional about news.

Exercise regularly—outside, if you can.

【3】 When we exercise, we encourage blood flow through our bodies. If you have a park or open space nearby, try spending some time moving in green spaces. Research confirms that being out in more natural settings is helpful for our well-being and cognition.

【4】

The lack of socializing during COVID lockdowns may have been particularly hard on people’s cognition. A recent review of many studies confirms that socializing is important for keeping yourself cognitively fit. So, it’s a good idea to try to be with others to keep your brain functioning well.

Try new challenges.

While many of us have been tough during the pandemic years, we can do something good for our brains at any time: learn new things. 【5】 Whether there’s a pandemic on or not, using your brain in new, challenging ways is good for neural health. Including new things into your everyday routines could give your brain a fun workout.

A．Stay connected with others.

B．Look through the social websites.

C．But repeated exposure to crises does harm to our well-being.

D．Getting exercise, on the other hand, is often tied to better cognition.

E．Many of us are paying the cost of the pandemic in the form of “brain fog”.

F．One of the best tools for fighting depression and thinking more clearly is exercise.

G．Some people have learned to play a new instrument, write poems, or build furniture.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.

Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.

All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.

Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and  had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick . They decided to test for COVID-19 【9】 the surge in cases in New York City, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.The first tiger at the zoo, which has been shut since mid-March, began showing 【10】 of illness on March 27, according to the US Department of Agriculture National Veterinary Services Laboratories.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.

At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.

The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

I have seen amazing things.

My first visit was to a space station considered the most modern in space. Described as an enormous round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate the pull of the earth’s gravity. Inside was an exhibition of the most up-to-date inventions of the 31st century. A guide showed us around along a moveable path.

Guide: Good morning to all our visitors from 2008. First we’re going to examine one of the latest forms of communication among our space citizens! Messages can now be sent using a “thoughtpad”. You place the metal band over your head, clear your mind, press the sending button, think your message and the next instant it’s sent. It’s stored on the “thoughtpad” of the receiver. It’s quick, efficient and environmentally friendly. The only limitation is if the user does not think his or her message clearly, an unclear message may be sent. But we cannot blame the tools for the faults of the user, can we?

During the explanation I looked at the pair of small objects called “thoughtpad” on a table. They just looked like metal ribbon. So ordinary but so powerful! While I was observing them, the path moved us on.

Guide: And now ladies and gentlemen, we are in the “environment area”. People used to collect waste in dustbins. Then the rubbish was sent to be buried or burned, am I right?（We nodded.）Well, now there’s a system where the waste is disposed of using the principles of ecology. A giant machine, always greedy for more, swallows all the waste available. The rubbish is turned into several grades of useful material, such as “fertilizer” for the fields and “soil” for deserts. Nothing is wasted, and everything, even plastic bags is recycled. A great idea, isn’t it?

I stared at the moving of the waste machine, absorbed by its efficiency. But again we moved on.

Part 1

Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices. Manufacturing no longer takes place on earth but on space stations like this one.

Part 2

My mind began to wander. What job would I do? My motivation increased as I thought of the wonderful world of the future.

41、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

An urgent call came into Jim Green’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the beach bar, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash — but her wedding ring was inside.

Jim, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours checking the video tapes from 16 different surveillance cameras（监控摄像机）, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man approached the bench, quickly put something in his pocket, and walked off. Jim posted a clip on the bar’s Facebook page. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was,” Jim said.

Within hours, Jim got a text from 17-year-old Peter. Peter admitted to having taken the wallet and told Jim he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.

Jim, unsure whether he believed Peter, told the teen to meet him at the docks. There, they got to talking, and Peter revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week. Jim, a father of two, looked closely at Peter — his small height, his ruddy cheeks — and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal.

But the risks were high. The police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Peter could be facing a serious crime charge. “I had to help him somehow,” Jim says.

The police wanted Jim to bring the teen down to the station. Instead, Jim called the police and told them, “He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”

Paragraph 1

Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet.

And then a diver popped up.
