I’ve never read anything that had someone like him as the hero, though. That’s what made it so interesting. Most books rely on the story and lots happening, but this was more about his thoughts and feelings.

M: What was your first professional theatre performance like?
W: The person I played had an American accent- I kept thinking I’d go back to my own I’m sure things like not remembering your lines are embarrassing when there’s a huge audience. I made sure that didn’t happen.
M: Later you went into TV acting. Why?
W: I was seen on stage by a director who thought I was perfect for a TV series he was making. I thought “Why not learn some fresh skills?” The extra money was useful, but I’d never take a job just for money, though.
M: What do you love most about your job?
W: When a new TV series comes out and my family get excited — but I avoid watching myself on screen I get the real excitement from picking up the envelope containing my new role.

I promise you are going to enjoy your stay here in Los Cabos. This is a beautiful, quiet city where you can relax, sit by the beach, enjoy great meals and feel very safe. You can walk into town and enjoy the fountains or take a moonlit walk along the water. Suntan Tours offers a variety of special discounts depending on your travel plans. There will be a short information session at 1:00 pm in the hall of the hotel tomorrow where you can learn all about these offers. If you need to exchange your dollars into pesos, please use a bank or money exchange. We don’t recommend exchanging your money neither at the hotel nor at a scenery spot because you won’t get a fair rate. Also, if you want to get around the city, you’d better take the local bus. If you do decide to take a taxi, make sure that you negotiate a price before you go.
We’re going to be pulling up to the hotel in just a few minutes. Havier and Diego will be meeting us at the bus to help you with your bags. I hope to see you tomorrow at the information session.

“The first step in realizing your dream is to not be afraid of any challenge,” Liu Wa from Bejing Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy said.
This July, when Liu was informed that the music festival her band was attending had some troubles and was about to be cancelled, she decided to take over the job of hosting it. “I thought to myself, how hard could hosting be?” Liu said. What’s more, she turned this festival into a charity event by raising money for a stray dog rescue station in Anhui province.
Liu became a volunteer for the station by coincidence two years ago. “I realized how much money it could take to save those dogs. This music festival is exactly the opportunity I need to raise people’s awareness of protecting stray dogs and donate money for them,” Liu said.
Liu and her two friends, who are also members of the band needed to find sponsorship, set up the venue and contact bands of high schools in Beijing to perform within two weeks. “Negotiating with sponsors was tricky sometimes as we needed to figure out what they wanted and trade with resources we had,” Liu recalled. They managed to cooperate with companies such as a study abroad agency to cover the expense as much as possible. Many parents also “sponsored” them with their homemade food.
The weather forecast had said that the day of the music festival, Aug 6, was going to be rainy. “We were so worried at first. But then a miracle happened: It only rained a little toward the end, helping us to sell the umbrellas we had prepared,” Liu said.
Audiences were mainly friends, parents and students. “Because of the pandemic, the audiences were limited to no more than 200people, which also pushed us to come up with ways of earning money other than tickets,” Liu explained. Eventually, they managed to raise 50,000 yuan from rain gear, food, and accessories they had designed.
Having been looked down upon many times by professional bands in Beijing, Liu also sees this festival as a way of telling the world that high school bands are just as good. “I want to run our own music channel on Bilibili. Our love for music will never stop,” Liu said.
24. What can we learn from Liu Wa?
A. Being frank and tricky. B. Being creative and energetic.
C. Being caring and determined. D. Being low-carbon and positive.
25. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Sponsor feedback on the music festival. B. The preparations for the music festival.
C. Resources needed for the music festival. D. The negotiations with sponsor companies.
26. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The weather forecast was not a bit accurate.
B. Many parents also donated money to the music festival.
C. People from all walks of life attended the music festival.
D. Selling tickets for the festival wasn’t Liu’s only way to raise money.
27. What does the music festival mean to Liu?
A. A battle with professional bands. B. A showcase for high school bands.
C. A chance to learn from other bands. D. A channel for presenting the beauty of music.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“This July, when Liu was informed that the music festival her band was attending had some troubles and was about to be can celled, she decided to take over the job of hosting it. “I thought to myself, how hard could hosting be?” Liu said. What’s more, she turned this festival into a charity event by raising money for a stray dog rescue station in Anhui province. (今年7月，当刘被告知她的乐队参加的音乐节遇到了一些麻烦，即将被取消时，她决定接手主持的工作。“我心想，主持能有多难?”刘说。更重要的是，她把这个节日变成了慈善活动，为安徽省的流浪狗救助站筹集资金)”；第三段“Liu became a volunteer for the station by coincidence two years ago. “I realized how much money it could take to save those dogs. This music festival is exactly the opportunity I need to raise people’s awareness of protecting stray dogs and donate money for them,” Liu said.(两年前，一个偶然的机会，刘成为了该站的志愿者。“我意识到拯救这些狗需要多少钱。这次音乐节正是我需要的机会，来提高人们保护流浪狗的意识，并为它们捐款。”)”以及末段“Having been looked down upon many times by professional bands in Beijing, Liu also sees this festival as a way of telling the world that high school bands are just as good. “I want to run our own music channel on Bilibili. Our love for music will never stop,” Liu said.(曾多次被北京的专业乐队看不起的刘也将这个音乐节视为告诉世界高中乐队同样优秀的一种方式。“我想在Bilibili上经营自己的音乐频道。我们对音乐的热爱永远不会停止。”)”可推知，她是一个有爱心，而且意志坚定的人。故选C。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Liu and her two friends, who are also members of the band needed to find sponsorship, set up the venue and contact bands of high schools in Beijing to perform within two weeks. “Negotiating with sponsors was tricky sometimes as we needed to figure out what they wanted and trade with resources we had,” Liu recalled. They managed to cooperate with companies such as a study abroad agency to cover the expense as much as possible. Many parents also “sponsored” them with their homemade food.(刘和她的两个朋友也是乐队的成员，他们需要找到赞助商，布置场地并联系北京的高中乐队，在两周内演出。“与赞助商谈判有时很棘手，因为我们需要弄清楚他们想要什么，并利用我们拥有的资源进行交易，”刘回忆道。他们设法与留学机构等公司合作，尽可能多地支付费用。许多家长还用自制食物“赞助”他们)”可知，该段主要在讲刘娃他们为了音乐节所做的准备工作。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Eventually, they managed to raise 50,000 yuan from rain gear, food, and accessories they had designed.(最终，他们通过自己设计的雨具、食物和配件筹到了5万元)”可推知，卖票不是他们唯一的筹钱方式。故选D。

C
Clothes were once used until they fell apart. Not today. In high-income countries in particular, clothing and footwear are increasingly frequently bought, thrown away and replaced with new fashions, which are themselves soon thrown away and replaced.
The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact. The first one is water. The fashion industry consumes anywhere from 20 trillion (万亿) to 200 trillion litres every year. Then there are micro-plastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) textiles, which make up between20% and 35% of the micro-plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.
Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy. That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research-both academic and industrial-in achieving these and other ambitions.
Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling. Undoubtedly, used textiles go to landfill in part because there are relatively few systems that collect, recycle and reuse materials. Such recycling requires the manual separation of fibres, as well as buttons and zips. Different fibres are not easy to identify by eye, and overall such manual processes are time-consuming. Machinery that can help is being developed. Technologies also exist to recycle used fibres chemically and to create high-quality fibres that can be reused in clothing. But these are nowhere near the scale needed.
Another challenge for researchers is to workout how to get consumers and manufacturers to change their behaviour. Other research questions include finding ways to encourage people to purchase long lasting goods; exploring how to satisfy desires for something new while reducing environmental impact; and understanding why certain measures can be successfully scaled up whereas others fail.
28. Why does the author mention “water”, “micro-plastics” and “chemicals” in Paragraph 2?
A. To provide an idea. B. To prove a point.
C. To give a definition. D. To present new concepts.
29. Which of the following goes against the concept of “circular economy”?
A. Efforts are made to lengthen the lifespan of textiles.
B. Worn-out clothes are used as dishcloths and oil rags.
C. High-quality fibres are created to be reused in clothing.
D. Fashion industry is encouraged to release new lines more often.
30. What is the right thing for the fashion industry researchers to do?
A. To make sure that all of the used textiles go to landfill.
B. To separate fibres, as well as buttons and zips manually.
C. To improve and expand textile recycling to a larger extent.
D. To encourage consumers to satisfy their desires for fashion.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Say Yes to the So-called Fast Fashion
B. Cut Fast Fashion’s Environmental Impact
C. Address the Academic Challenges for Researchers
D. Improve the Efficiency of the Separation of Fibres
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact. The first one is water. The fashion industry consumes anywhere from 20 trillion (万亿) to 200 trillion litres every year. Then there are micro-plastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) textiles, which make up between20% and 35% of the micro-plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.(所谓的“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响。第一个是水。时尚产业每年消耗20万亿到200万亿升的水。还有微塑料。当我们清洗涤纶纺织品时，塑料纤维就会被释放出来，而这些纤维占了堵塞海洋的微塑料的20%到35%。除此之外，还有一些特殊的化学物质，比如用于使织物耐污的化学物质，以及用于保护棉花等作物的农药)”可知，作者在第二段中提到“水”、“微塑料”和“化学品”的目的是为了证明一个观点，也就是“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research-both academic and industrial-in achieving these and other ambitions.(这至少涉及两件事：重新专注于制造耐用的物品，从而鼓励重复使用；并更迅速地扩展可持续制造过程的技术，特别是回收利用。学术和工业研究在实现这些和其他雄心方面发挥着重要作用)”可知，与“循环经济”的概念相抵触的是鼓励时尚产业更频繁地发布新产品。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling.(研究人员可以从帮助提供更准确的用水量估算开始。在改善和扩大纺织品回收方面也有工作要做)”可知，时尚产业研究者应该做的正确的事情是在更大程度上改善和扩大纺织品回收利用。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact.(所谓的“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响)”和第三段“Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy.(改变是迫切需要的，但这需要时尚行业更加努力地接受所谓的循环经济)”可知，文章讲述了所谓的“快时尚”对环境产生的影响，以及给我们提供的建议，以避免这种影响，因此最好的题目是B选项“减少快时尚对环境的影响”。故选B。
D
New bio-plastics are being made in laboratories from straw, wood chips and food waste, with researchers aiming to replace oil as the source of the world’s plastic.
The new approaches include genetically modifying bacteria to eat wood and produce useful chemicals. But the bio-plastics are currently significantly more expensive to make than fossil fuel-based plastics.
Land and seas around the world, from high mountains to deep oceans, have become polluted with plastic, prompting major public concern. The world has produced 8bn tons of plastic since the 1950s and demand is still rising.
While some waste plastic is recycled, much of it is burnt to produce electricity, resulting in carbon emissions that drive climate change. In contrast to plastic made from oil, plastics made from plant-based materials only release the carbon the plants absorbed from the air as they grew. Bio-plastics will also give more options for products that biodegrade (生物降解) in the environment, although they can be made very long-lasting if required.
“Plastics are an incredible enhancement to our daily lives,” said Paul Mines, CEO of Biome Technologies in the UK, which has spent t5m in the last five years on bio-plastics research. “But we can’t go on using fossil fuel-based materials. About 6-7% of every barrel (桶) of oil is used to make plastics.”
“Using plant materials is feasible,” said professor Simon, at the University of York. “Replacing half of the nation’s plastic bottles could be done using just 3% of the sugar beet crop, 5% of wheat straw or 2.5% of food waste,” he said.
Currently, just a few thousand tons of bio-plastic are used in the UK each year, compared to millions of tons of conventional plastic. Mines said this could rise to about 20,000 tons in the next five years.
32. Why are high mountains and deep oceans mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To display the range of plastic pollution. B. To show the widespread use of plastic.
C. To present a reason of wide use of plastic. D. To stress the increasing demand for plastic.
33. What is one advantage of bio-plastics over fossil fuel-based plastics?
A. Producing electricity. B. Being eco-friendly.
C. Driving climate change. D. Biodegrading other plastic.
34. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. Possible. B. Troublesome. C. Original. D. Costly.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Plastics arc necessary in daily life. B. Oil is the source of the world’s plastic.
C. Bioplastic making is a promising industry. D. Scientists are researching bioplastic making.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The world has produced 8bn tons of plastic since the 1950s and demand is still rising.(自上世纪50年代以来，全球已经生产了80亿吨塑料，而且需求仍在上升)”可知，塑料污染范围很广，因此第三段提到高山和深海是为了展示塑料污染的范围之大。故选A。
33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“In contrast to plastic made from oil, plastics made from plant-based materials only release the carbon the plants absorbed from the air as they grew.(与由石油制成的塑料不同，由植物性材料制成的塑料只释放植物在生长过程中从空气中吸收的碳)”可知，与化石燃料塑料相比，生物塑料的一个优势是它排放的碳更少，即更环保。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段第二句““Replacing half of the nation’s plastic bottles could be done using just 3% of the sugar beet crop, 5% of wheat straw or 2.5% of food waste,” he said.(他说“只需使用3%的甜菜作物、5%的麦秸或2.5%的食物垃圾，就可以替换全国一半的塑料瓶。”)”可知，利用植物材料是可行的。故画线词意思是“可能的”。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“New bio-plastics are being made in laboratories from straw, wood chips and food waste, with researchers aiming to replace oil as the source of the world’s plastic.(实验室正在用稻草、木屑和食物垃圾制造新型生物塑料，研究人员的目标是取代石油成为世界塑料的来源)”并结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究者们正在研究生物塑料。故选D。

This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate from your plan. ____36____.
• Break up your study sessions into smaller periods
Our brain can’t focus effectively for a longtime. If you try to study for several hours once, chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information you’re trying to learn. ____37____.
• Find a study place that works for you
____38____ Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here — it’s all about finding a place to study that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.
• ____39____
This will not only help you check your understanding of the concepts but also identify any area that may need more review. And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on, it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help
If you find that you’re struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like, seek assistance in time. ____40____. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need.
A. Take relevant tests
B. Learn to accept failure
C. There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance
D. Make sure that every minute you spend studying counts
E. However, try not to go off-track too often or for too long
F. Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time
G. Instead, divide your study sessions up into shorter periods to help you relax and recharge
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【36题详解】
由上文“This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate from your plan.(这意味着每天要留出特定的学习时间，然后尽可能严格地遵守这个时间表。当然，总有一天事情会发生，你不得不偏离你的计划)”可知，上文讲有时我们会因为临时事情偏离计划，E项中go off-track和上文deviate from your plan对应。故E选项“然而，尽量不要太频繁或太长时间偏离轨道”符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
根据本段小标题“• Break up your study sessions into smaller periods(•把你的学习过程分成更小的阶段)”及本段所述内容“Our brain can’t focus effectively for a longtime. If you try to study for several hours once, chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information you’re trying to learn.(我们的大脑无法长时间有效地集中注意力。如果你试着一次学习几个小时，你很有可能记不住你想学的所有信息)”可知，本段主要讨论为了提高学习效率，可以将学习时间分成若千个时段以便能高效学习，故G选项“相反，把你的学习过程分成更短的时间段来帮助你放松和充电”符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
由后文“Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here — it’s all about finding a place to study that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.(有些人喜欢在完全安静的环境中学习，而另一些人则发现一些背景噪音可以帮助他们更好地集中注意力。这里没有正确或错误的答案——关键是要找到一个能让你尽可能高效工作的学习场所)”可知，这段主要讲找一个学习的地方，F选项中Where和小标题中place对应，且本句有启下作用。故F选项“学习地点也会影响你如何有效利用时间”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
根据本段内容“This will not only help you check your understanding of the concepts but also identify any area that may need more review. And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on, it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.(这不仅可以帮助你检查你对概念的理解，还可以确定任何可能需要更多复习的地方。一旦你知道了你需要学习的具体主题或想法，你就会更容易相应地指导你的学习过程，更好地利用你的时间)”可知，本段主要讲述这不仅可以检查所学的概念而且可以知道尚需温习的内容，知晓了需要继续学习的话题或思想后就可以引导你进行相应的学习以提高时间利用率，由此可推知A项Take relevant tests 可以概括全文内容。故A选项“进行相关测试”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
由上文“If you find that you’re struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like, seek assistance in time.(如果你发现你在努力理解材料，或者只是没有像你希望的那样快速进步，及时寻求帮助)”可知，遇到困难要及时寻求帮助，下文“In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need.(事实上，从长远来看，它可以通过为你提供所需的支持来节省大量时间)”讲获得需要的帮助可以节约许多时间，故C选项“承认你需要帮助并不可耻”符合语境，故选C。

67. 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。
Heiss, 61, and his wife lost their only child, a son. They had no grandchildren. Being around children at Christmas had been absent in their lives.
On December 12, Heiss was hiking there mote expanse of land behind his farm in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the US-Mexico border, when he spotted a balloon on the grass. Heiss walked towards it with his dog, thinking he should pick up the plastic and throw it away. That’s when he noticed the balloon’s string was attached to a piece of paper.
“Dayami”, it read on one side, in a child’s writing, and a hand-drawn bow accompanied the word. Heiss turned over the paper. It was a numbered list, all in Spanish. Though he wasn’t good at Spanish, Heiss could see it was Christmas list. Heiss was attracted and suspected that a child named Dayami had tried to sent Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, which he used to do himself when he was a kid. Unfortunately, nobody had ever returned the letters he had sent.
Heiss wondered whether he could find the girl who had sent this paper. It would be difficult, but he had a few clues. About 32 kilometers to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico, with a population of about a quarter million. With the help of wind, Heiss was pretty sure the balloon came from the southwest city, Nogales.
Heiss brought the note home to his wife who was fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They determined that Dayani, probably a girl, had asked for dolls, clothes and art supplies, among other things. Heiss then post on Facebook about his search, attracting photos, hoping people in Nogalesmight know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no leads. Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas.
On December 19, Heiss sent a private Facebook message to Radio XENY, an AM radio station based in Nogales. The next morning, Heiss awoke to a message from Radio XENY. They had located Dayami, an eight-year-old girl, and her family, who indeed lived in Nogales. Best of all, they were willing to meet at the radio station.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
“It just changed my entire day,” Heiss said.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On December 24, the Heisses were decorating the Christmas tree when they heard a knock on the door.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
“It just changed my entire day,” Heiss said. Instead of going to his office, Heiss went shopping with his wife. The next 20 minutes witnessed the old couple searching several shops for everything on Dayami’s list. Then the Heisses drove for about an hour, crossing the border into Nogales. At the sight of the presents, Dayami covered her mouth with hands, not believing her dream came true. She said in excitement, “Oh, it is so amazing! Sending a letter to Santa by balloon really does work!” Her parents also expressed appreciation to the Heisses and even exchanged contact details with them.
On December 24, the Heisses were decorating the Christmas tree when they heard a knock on the door. Opening the door, Heiss got a big surprise—It was Dayami and her parents. They explained that they came to celebrate Christmas with the old couple. Dayami gave Heiss a well wrapped box, saying in a loud voice, “Mr Heiss, Merry Christmas! It’s a gift for you.” Overwhelmingly moved, Heiss scooped up the little girl, tears rolling down his cheeks. His wife said emotionally, “Quite appealing for us. Never for a long time have we been so happy!” What a miracle it was that Heiss spotted the balloon. Both wishes were granted.
【解析】
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段首句内容““它改变了我的一整天，”海斯说。”可知，第一段可描写，海斯去准备Dayami愿望清单上的物品，以及Dayami收到礼物时的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“12月24日，海斯一家正在装饰圣诞树，突然听到有人敲门。”可知，第二段可描写，Dayami一家来陪Heiss夫妇过圣诞，让Heiss夫妇很感动。

“The first step in realizing your dream is to not be afraid of any challenge,” Liu Wa from Bejing Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy said.
This July, when Liu was informed that the music festival her band was attending had some troubles and was about to be cancelled, she decided to take over the job of hosting it. “I thought to myself, how hard could hosting be?” Liu said. What’s more, she turned this festival into a charity event by raising money for a stray dog rescue station in Anhui province.
Liu became a volunteer for the station by coincidence two years ago. “I realized how much money it could take to save those dogs. This music festival is exactly the opportunity I need to raise people’s awareness of protecting stray dogs and donate money for them,” Liu said.
Liu and her two friends, who are also members of the band needed to find sponsorship, set up the venue and contact bands of high schools in Beijing to perform within two weeks. “Negotiating with sponsors was tricky sometimes as we needed to figure out what they wanted and trade with resources we had,” Liu recalled. They managed to cooperate with companies such as a study abroad agency to cover the expense as much as possible. Many parents also “sponsored” them with their homemade food.
The weather forecast had said that the day of the music festival, Aug 6, was going to be rainy. “We were so worried at first. But then a miracle happened: It only rained a little toward the end, helping us to sell the umbrellas we had prepared,” Liu said.
Audiences were mainly friends, parents and students. “Because of the pandemic, the audiences were limited to no more than 200people, which also pushed us to come up with ways of earning money other than tickets,” Liu explained. Eventually, they managed to raise 50,000 yuan from rain gear, food, and accessories they had designed.
Having been looked down upon many times by professional bands in Beijing, Liu also sees this festival as a way of telling the world that high school bands are just as good. “I want to run our own music channel on Bilibili. Our love for music will never stop,” Liu said.
24. What can we learn from Liu Wa?
A. Being frank and tricky. B. Being creative and energetic.
C. Being caring and determined. D. Being low-carbon and positive.
25. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Sponsor feedback on the music festival. B. The preparations for the music festival.
C. Resources needed for the music festival. D. The negotiations with sponsor companies.
26. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The weather forecast was not a bit accurate.
B. Many parents also donated money to the music festival.
C. People from all walks of life attended the music festival.
D. Selling tickets for the festival wasn’t Liu’s only way to raise money.
27. What does the music festival mean to Liu?
A. A battle with professional bands. B. A showcase for high school bands.
C. A chance to learn from other bands. D. A channel for presenting the beauty of music.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B
【解析】

C
Clothes were once used until they fell apart. Not today. In high-income countries in particular, clothing and footwear are increasingly frequently bought, thrown away and replaced with new fashions, which are themselves soon thrown away and replaced.
The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact. The first one is water. The fashion industry consumes anywhere from 20 trillion (万亿) to 200 trillion litres every year. Then there are micro-plastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) textiles, which make up between20% and 35% of the micro-plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.
Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy. That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research-both academic and industrial-in achieving these and other ambitions.
Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling. Undoubtedly, used textiles go to landfill in part because there are relatively few systems that collect, recycle and reuse materials. Such recycling requires the manual separation of fibres, as well as buttons and zips. Different fibres are not easy to identify by eye, and overall such manual processes are time-consuming. Machinery that can help is being developed. Technologies also exist to recycle used fibres chemically and to create high-quality fibres that can be reused in clothing. But these are nowhere near the scale needed.
Another challenge for researchers is to workout how to get consumers and manufacturers to change their behaviour. Other research questions include finding ways to encourage people to purchase long lasting goods; exploring how to satisfy desires for something new while reducing environmental impact; and understanding why certain measures can be successfully scaled up whereas others fail.
28. Why does the author mention “water”, “micro-plastics” and “chemicals” in Paragraph 2?
A. To provide an idea. B. To prove a point.
C. To give a definition. D. To present new concepts.
29. Which of the following goes against the concept of “circular economy”?
A. Efforts are made to lengthen the lifespan of textiles.
B. Worn-out clothes are used as dishcloths and oil rags.
C. High-quality fibres are created to be reused in clothing.
D. Fashion industry is encouraged to release new lines more often.
30. What is the right thing for the fashion industry researchers to do?
A. To make sure that all of the used textiles go to landfill.
B. To separate fibres, as well as buttons and zips manually.
C. To improve and expand textile recycling to a larger extent.
D. To encourage consumers to satisfy their desires for fashion.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Say Yes to the So-called Fast Fashion
B. Cut Fast Fashion’s Environmental Impact
C. Address the Academic Challenges for Researchers
D. Improve the Efficiency of the Separation of Fibres
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact. The first one is water. The fashion industry consumes anywhere from 20 trillion (万亿) to 200 trillion litres every year. Then there are micro-plastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) textiles, which make up between20% and 35% of the micro-plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.(所谓的“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响。第一个是水。时尚产业每年消耗20万亿到200万亿升的水。还有微塑料。当我们清洗涤纶纺织品时，塑料纤维就会被释放出来，而这些纤维占了堵塞海洋的微塑料的20%到35%。除此之外，还有一些特殊的化学物质，比如用于使织物耐污的化学物质，以及用于保护棉花等作物的农药)”可知，作者在第二段中提到“水”、“微塑料”和“化学品”的目的是为了证明一个观点，也就是“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research-both academic and industrial-in achieving these and other ambitions.(这至少涉及两件事：重新专注于制造耐用的物品，从而鼓励重复使用；并更迅速地扩展可持续制造过程的技术，特别是回收利用。学术和工业研究在实现这些和其他雄心方面发挥着重要作用)”可知，与“循环经济”的概念相抵触的是鼓励时尚产业更频繁地发布新产品。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling.(研究人员可以从帮助提供更准确的用水量估算开始。在改善和扩大纺织品回收方面也有工作要做)”可知，时尚产业研究者应该做的正确的事情是在更大程度上改善和扩大纺织品回收利用。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact.(所谓的“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响)”和第三段“Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy.(改变是迫切需要的，但这需要时尚行业更加努力地接受所谓的循环经济)”可知，文章讲述了所谓的“快时尚”对环境产生的影响，以及给我们提供的建议，以避免这种影响，因此最好的题目是B选项“减少快时尚对环境的影响”。故选B。
D
New bio-plastics are being made in laboratories from straw, wood chips and food waste, with researchers aiming to replace oil as the source of the world’s plastic.
The new approaches include genetically modifying bacteria to eat wood and produce useful chemicals. But the bio-plastics are currently significantly more expensive to make than fossil fuel-based plastics.
Land and seas around the world, from high mountains to deep oceans, have become polluted with plastic, prompting major public concern. The world has produced 8bn tons of plastic since the 1950s and demand is still rising.
While some waste plastic is recycled, much of it is burnt to produce electricity, resulting in carbon emissions that drive climate change. In contrast to plastic made from oil, plastics made from plant-based materials only release the carbon the plants absorbed from the air as they grew. Bio-plastics will also give more options for products that biodegrade (生物降解) in the environment, although they can be made very long-lasting if required.
“Plastics are an incredible enhancement to our daily lives,” said Paul Mines, CEO of Biome Technologies in the UK, which has spent t5m in the last five years on bio-plastics research. “But we can’t go on using fossil fuel-based materials. About 6-7% of every barrel (桶) of oil is used to make plastics.”
“Using plant materials is feasible,” said professor Simon, at the University of York. “Replacing half of the nation’s plastic bottles could be done using just 3% of the sugar beet crop, 5% of wheat straw or 2.5% of food waste,” he said.
Currently, just a few thousand tons of bio-plastic are used in the UK each year, compared to millions of tons of conventional plastic. Mines said this could rise to about 20,000 tons in the next five years.
32. Why are high mountains and deep oceans mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To display the range of plastic pollution. B. To show the widespread use of plastic.
C. To present a reason of wide use of plastic. D. To stress the increasing demand for plastic.
33. What is one advantage of bio-plastics over fossil fuel-based plastics?
A. Producing electricity. B. Being eco-friendly.
C. Driving climate change. D. Biodegrading other plastic.
34. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. Possible. B. Troublesome. C. Original. D. Costly.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Plastics arc necessary in daily life. B. Oil is the source of the world’s plastic.
C. Bioplastic making is a promising industry. D. Scientists are researching bioplastic making.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The world has produced 8bn tons of plastic since the 1950s and demand is still rising.(自上世纪50年代以来，全球已经生产了80亿吨塑料，而且需求仍在上升)”可知，塑料污染范围很广，因此第三段提到高山和深海是为了展示塑料污染的范围之大。故选A。
33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“In contrast to plastic made from oil, plastics made from plant-based materials only release the carbon the plants absorbed from the air as they grew.(与由石油制成的塑料不同，由植物性材料制成的塑料只释放植物在生长过程中从空气中吸收的碳)”可知，与化石燃料塑料相比，生物塑料的一个优势是它排放的碳更少，即更环保。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段第二句““Replacing half of the nation’s plastic bottles could be done using just 3% of the sugar beet crop, 5% of wheat straw or 2.5% of food waste,” he said.(他说“只需使用3%的甜菜作物、5%的麦秸或2.5%的食物垃圾，就可以替换全国一半的塑料瓶。”)”可知，利用植物材料是可行的。故画线词意思是“可能的”。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“New bio-plastics are being made in laboratories from straw, wood chips and food waste, with researchers aiming to replace oil as the source of the world’s plastic.(实验室正在用稻草、木屑和食物垃圾制造新型生物塑料，研究人员的目标是取代石油成为世界塑料的来源)”并结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究者们正在研究生物塑料。故选D。

As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time. But with that freedom comes the responsibility to make the most of your studying hours. Here are some tips to help you do just that.
• Create a schedule
This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate from your plan. ____36____.
• Break up your study sessions into smaller periods
Our brain can’t focus effectively for a longtime. If you try to study for several hours once, chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information you’re trying to learn. ____37____.
• Find a study place that works for you
____38____ Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here — it’s all about finding a place to study that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.
• ____39____
This will not only help you check your understanding of the concepts but also identify any area that may need more review. And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on, it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help
If you find that you’re struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like, seek assistance in time. ____40____. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need.
A. Take relevant tests
B. Learn to accept failure
C. There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance
D. Make sure that every minute you spend studying counts
E. However, try not to go off-track too often or for too long
F. Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time
G. Instead, divide your study sessions up into shorter periods to help you relax and recharge
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【36题详解】
由上文“This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate from your plan.(这意味着每天要留出特定的学习时间，然后尽可能严格地遵守这个时间表。当然，总有一天事情会发生，你不得不偏离你的计划)”可知，上文讲有时我们会因为临时事情偏离计划，E项中go off-track和上文deviate from your plan对应。故E选项“然而，尽量不要太频繁或太长时间偏离轨道”符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
根据本段小标题“• Break up your study sessions into smaller periods(•把你的学习过程分成更小的阶段)”及本段所述内容“Our brain can’t focus effectively for a longtime. If you try to study for several hours once, chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information you’re trying to learn.(我们的大脑无法长时间有效地集中注意力。如果你试着一次学习几个小时，你很有可能记不住你想学的所有信息)”可知，本段主要讨论为了提高学习效率，可以将学习时间分成若千个时段以便能高效学习，故G选项“相反，把你的学习过程分成更短的时间段来帮助你放松和充电”符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
由后文“Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here — it’s all about finding a place to study that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.(有些人喜欢在完全安静的环境中学习，而另一些人则发现一些背景噪音可以帮助他们更好地集中注意力。这里没有正确或错误的答案——关键是要找到一个能让你尽可能高效工作的学习场所)”可知，这段主要讲找一个学习的地方，F选项中Where和小标题中place对应，且本句有启下作用。故F选项“学习地点也会影响你如何有效利用时间”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
根据本段内容“This will not only help you check your understanding of the concepts but also identify any area that may need more review. And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on, it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.(这不仅可以帮助你检查你对概念的理解，还可以确定任何可能需要更多复习的地方。一旦你知道了你需要学习的具体主题或想法，你就会更容易相应地指导你的学习过程，更好地利用你的时间)”可知，本段主要讲述这不仅可以检查所学的概念而且可以知道尚需温习的内容，知晓了需要继续学习的话题或思想后就可以引导你进行相应的学习以提高时间利用率，由此可推知A项Take relevant tests 可以概括全文内容。故A选项“进行相关测试”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
由上文“If you find that you’re struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like, seek assistance in time.(如果你发现你在努力理解材料，或者只是没有像你希望的那样快速进步，及时寻求帮助)”可知，遇到困难要及时寻求帮助，下文“In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need.(事实上，从长远来看，它可以通过为你提供所需的支持来节省大量时间)”讲获得需要的帮助可以节约许多时间，故C选项“承认你需要帮助并不可耻”符合语境，故选C。

67. 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。
Heiss, 61, and his wife lost their only child, a son. They had no grandchildren. Being around children at Christmas had been absent in their lives.
On December 12, Heiss was hiking there mote expanse of land behind his farm in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the US-Mexico border, when he spotted a balloon on the grass. Heiss walked towards it with his dog, thinking he should pick up the plastic and throw it away. That’s when he noticed the balloon’s string was attached to a piece of paper.
“Dayami”, it read on one side, in a child’s writing, and a hand-drawn bow accompanied the word. Heiss turned over the paper. It was a numbered list, all in Spanish. Though he wasn’t good at Spanish, Heiss could see it was Christmas list. Heiss was attracted and suspected that a child named Dayami had tried to sent Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, which he used to do himself when he was a kid. Unfortunately, nobody had ever returned the letters he had sent.
Heiss wondered whether he could find the girl who had sent this paper. It would be difficult, but he had a few clues. About 32 kilometers to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico, with a population of about a quarter million. With the help of wind, Heiss was pretty sure the balloon came from the southwest city, Nogales.
Heiss brought the note home to his wife who was fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They determined that Dayani, probably a girl, had asked for dolls, clothes and art supplies, among other things. Heiss then post on Facebook about his search, attracting photos, hoping people in Nogalesmight know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no leads. Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas.
On December 19, Heiss sent a private Facebook message to Radio XENY, an AM radio station based in Nogales. The next morning, Heiss awoke to a message from Radio XENY. They had located Dayami, an eight-year-old girl, and her family, who indeed lived in Nogales. Best of all, they were willing to meet at the radio station.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
“It just changed my entire day,” Heiss said.

On December 24, the Heisses were decorating the Christmas tree when they heard a knock on the door.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
“It just changed my entire day,” Heiss said. Instead of going to his office, Heiss went shopping with his wife. The next 20 minutes witnessed the old couple searching several shops for everything on Dayami’s list. Then the Heisses drove for about an hour, crossing the border into Nogales. At the sight of the presents, Dayami covered her mouth with hands, not believing her dream came true. She said in excitement, “Oh, it is so amazing! Sending a letter to Santa by balloon really does work!” Her parents also expressed appreciation to the Heisses and even exchanged contact details with them.
On December 24, the Heisses were decorating the Christmas tree when they heard a knock on the door. Opening the door, Heiss got a big surprise—It was Dayami and her parents. They explained that they came to celebrate Christmas with the old couple. Dayami gave Heiss a well wrapped box, saying in a loud voice, “Mr Heiss, Merry Christmas! It’s a gift for you.” Overwhelmingly moved, Heiss scooped up the little girl, tears rolling down his cheeks. His wife said emotionally, “Quite appealing for us. Never for a long time have we been so happy!” What a miracle it was that Heiss spotted the balloon. Both wishes were granted.
