Jim Metzner has spent nearly five decades dcumenting and sharing the sunds f the wrld, frm immersive prtraits f American cities t unfrgettable mments with peple and wildlife in varied places.
Nw mre peple will be able t hear mre f the wrld thrugh Metzner’s tape. The Library f Cngress annunced earlier this mnth that it has acquired the full bdy f his life’s wrk. The recrdings include sundscapes f every descriptin frm arund the wrld and interview s with scientists, artists and lcal peple. Whereas many recrdists fcus entirely n a single subject—nature, music r science —Metzner’s recrdings cnvey varius human experiences accmpanied by the vast range f sunds frm the natural wrld.
Metzner’s career began with a mment f realizatin in the 1970s, when he first ventured nt the campus f UMass Amberst equipped with a stere recrder, micrphne and ear phnes. Metzner recalled pushing the red buttn and hearing a lifelike symphny: a cuple walking and talking nearby, a bicycle riding thrugh gravel（砂砾）, a bird flying verhead, bells in the distance. “And I was ging like, ‘Ww, this is amazing. What an extrardinary cincidence!’” he recalled. “But it wasn’t a cincidence-this stuff was happening all the time, I just hadn’t been paying attentin t it. And it was the micrphne and the recrder that said, “Wake up …yu live in a wrld f sund. Here it is.’ And it was, like, handing it t me n a plate.”
Metzner cntinued t fcus n thse mments ver the years. Nw in his 70s, Metzner isn’t hanging up his micrphne quite yet. He tells NPR he’s grateful t the Library f Cngress fr preserving his life’s wrk, which he describes as a deep hnr. But he als wants t make sure it’s actually being heard, nt just “buried in an archive（档案室）.”
He hpes mre peple will get t experience—and recgnize the value —f sundscapes, which he describes as “part f ur natural heritage” and “the tuchstnes t ur feelings.”
“Yu can g t a museum and see Diane Arbus’ phtgraphs. Yu can see Rene Magritte’s paintings,” he adds. “Why nt sundscapes?”
4．What is special abut Metzner’s recrdings?

A．The Library f Cngress has preserved it.B．It has recrded unfrgettable mments.
C．It can becme ur natural heritage.D．Mre peple can actually appreciate it.

After Alexander Pushkin was sht in a duel（决斗）in 1837, crwds f murners frmed in Saint Petersburg. When the wagn（运货车）carrying the much lved pet’s bdy reached Pskv prvince, where he was t be buried, admirers tried t pull the vehicle themselves.
Tday’s celebrity（名人）funerals tend t invlve the public largely digitally rather than in persn. But peple are passinate all the same. In the past few mnths, grief has cursed arund the Internet fr Milan Kundera, and mst recently, Michael Gambn. If yu stp t think abut it, such expressins f strng feelings fr writers and actrs are dd, even irratinal.
Unlike ther kinds f grief, this ne is nt rted in persnal intimacy（亲密关系）. If yu ever interacted with a cherished authr, it was prbably during a bk tur when she signed yur cpy f her nvel. Maybe yu nce lcked eyes with a musician during a live cncert and he smiled at yu, but actually he did nt even knw yu.
Objectively, srrw makes sense when a star dies yung r vilently. Had she nt died at 27, wh knws what music Amy Winehuse wuld have added t her already impressive cllectins f wrk? The death f a lng-lived and fulfilled artist, hwever, is far frm the saddest item in an average day’s headlines. And while mst rdinary peple sink int blivin, these celebrities live n in their utput. Why, then, are these lsses felt s widely and keenly?
One interpretatin is that departed celebrities are merely the messengers. Part f yur past —the years in which the musician was the sundtrack, the writer yur ally（盟友）—can seem t fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a frm f gratitude fr the harmny and jy they supplied.
Mre imprtantly, the passing f an artist is an ccasin fr exchanges f ideas. In an atmized age, in which the default（默认）tne is critical, a belved figure’s death is a chance t share psitive feelings and memries with fellw admirers. These sad ccasins are the parting gifts f these artists.
8．Why des the authr mentin Milan Kundera and Michael Gambn in paragraph 2?
A．T prve that celebrities’ funerals tend t attract wider public attentin.
B．T illustrate why peple express their sadness at the lss f thse celebrities.
C．T demnstrate that peple’s murning fr celebrities seems strange and unreasnable.
D．T shw that peple’s grief ver celebrities’ death is ridiculus and impractical.
9．The underlined phrase “sink int blivin” in paragraph 4 prbably means ______.
A．are disappintedB．are desperate
C．are helplessD．are frgtten
10．What can we learn frm the passage?
A．Peple wn’t murn fr celebrities unless they have intimate relatinships with celebrities.
B．It’s natural that peple murn fr celebrities dying yung but nt fr thse lng-lived nes.
C．Peple feel sad fr the passing f celebrities because f the mental nurishment received.
D．Peple attend celebrities’ funerals, either in persn r n the Internet, t express their lyalty.
11．What’s the authr’s attitude twards public murning fr the celebrities?
A．Supprtive.B．Disapprving.C．Skeptical.D．Cncerned.
D
“Few articles change wners mre frequently than clthes. They travel dwnwards frm grade t grade in the scial scale with remarkable regularity,” wrte the jurnalist Adlphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a cat’s jurney in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resld repeatedly; cut dwn int a smaller item; eventually recycled int new fabric. But with the imprvement in peple’s living standards, that mdel is mind-bggling in the era f fast fashin. The average British custmer buys fur items a mnth. And it is reprted that 350,000 tnnes f used but still wearable clthes g t landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival f the secnd-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashin website Ass, sales f vintage clthes（古董衫）have risen by 92%. Clthing was nce wrn ut f necessity, and nw it is simply a way f life. Busy families sell used items n eBay, teenagers trade n Depp and sme fashin peple ffer designer labels n Vestiaire Cllective. Strikingly, it has becme big enugh business that mainstream retailers（零售商）want a slice f the actin.
Fr sme buyers and sellers, the switch t the secnd-hand is brn f financial difficulties. Only a few have becme wrried abut the impact f their shpping habit n the planet. But the shift is nly a partial slutin. Sme peple wrry that sme mainstream brands may “greenwash”—using secnd-hand gds t imprve their image, rather than engaging mre seriusly with sustainability.
Hwever, the biggest cncern may be that peple keep buying because they knw they can resell gds, still chasing the pleasure f the next purchase but with an eased cnscience（愧疚）. Bh, a pwerful fast fashin cmpany, has seen sales and prfits rise, despite cncerns abut envirnmental prblems in its supply chain that led t an investigatin last year.
A new Netflix series, Wrn Stries, dcuments the emtinal meanings that clthes can have: Each ld item is full f memries. Actually, a handbag frm a grandmther and a scarf passed n by a father are bth valuable fr us. A lve f style is nt a bad r an unimprtant thing. But a cmmitted relatinship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn t appreciate ur wn ld clthes as well as thers’?
12．What des the wrd “mind-bggling” underlined in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A．Unbelievable.B．Ppular.C．Reasnable.D．Influential.
13．With the business mentined in paragraph 2, the authr wants t shw ______.
A．ld clthes are mre ppular than new pieces
B．the nline secnd-hand markets are bming
C．the fashin wrld begins t favr vintage clthes
D．many clthing brands are innvative in their new prducts
14．Hw des the secnd-band trade impact peple accrding t paragraph 4?
A．It makes peple feel free t pursue fast fashin.
B．It makes peple mre cautius abut their budgets.
C．It encurages peple t chse ec-friendly clthes.
D．It pushes peple t be mre engaged with sustainability.
15．Which f the fllwing views des Wrn Stries advcate?
A．Old items have lst favr with the public.
B．Old items are wrthy f being lng cherished.
C．Older generatins attach great imprtance t ld items.

10．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Part f yur past—the years in which the musician was the sundtrack, the writer yur ally（盟友）—can seem t fade away with them.

11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Mre imprtantly, the passing f an artist is an ccasin fr exchanges f ideas. In an atmized age, in which the default（默认）tne is critical, a belved figure’s death is a chance t share psitive feelings and memries with fellw admirers.（更重要的是，一个艺术家的去世是一个交流思想的机会。在一个原子化的，默认的语气是批判的时代，一个深受爱戴的人的死亡是一个与其他崇拜者分享积极的感受和回忆的机会）”可知，作者认为名人的离世和公众悼念提供了交流思想的机会和分享积极的感受和回忆的机会，所以作者对悼念名人持支持的态度。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了与从前反复使用衣服的模式不同，现在大家往往追逐快时尚，造成了很大浪费，不过网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展，但只有少部分人是真的认识到了自己的购物习惯对地球的影响，而且一些主流品牌有可能会借此机会来“洗绿”，很多人有可能会继续购买。文章指出，虽然追求风格无可厚非，但是学会欣赏旧衣服实际上是很有意义的。
12．词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“as he truced a cat’s jurney in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resld repeatedly, cut dwn int a smaller item; eventually recycled int new fabric（他追溯了一件大衣在上个世纪的历程: 反复清洗、修理和转售; 赠为成更小件的；最终被回收制成新的织物）”可知，以前的衣服会被反复多次使用，再结合表示转折意义的“But”和划线词的下文“Thu average British custmer buys fur item s a mnth. And it is reprted that 350,000 tnnes f used but still wearable clthes g t landfills in the UK each year.（英国消费者平均每月购买四件商品。据报道，英国每年有35万吨用过但还能穿的衣服被送往垃圾填埋场）”可知，现在情况和以前不同，衣服更迭速度很快，很多衣服被浪费了。由此可知，以前衣服循环使用的模式在现在快时尚的时代是令人难以置信的，划线词意思应该与unbelievable“令人难以置信的”一致。故选A项。
13．推理判断题。根据第二段中“At fashin website Ass, sales f vintage clthes（古董衫）have risen by 92%. Clthing was nce wrn ut f necessity, and nw it is simply a way f life. Busy fumilies sell used item s n eBay, teenagers trad n Depp and sme fashin peple ffer designer labels n Vestiaire Cllective. Strikingly, it has becme big enugh business that mainstream retailers（零售商）want a slice f the actin.（在时尚网站Ass，古董的销量增长了92%。衣服曾经是出于需要而穿，现在它只是一种生活方式。忙碌的家庭在eBay上出售二手物品，青少年在Depp上交易，一些时尚人士在Vestaire Cllective上出售设计师品牌。引人注目的是，它已经成为一个足够大的业务，主流零售商也想分一杯羹）”可知，网络二手交易销量增长，不同的人群在不同的平台交易二手衣服，主流零售商甚至也想参与其中。由此排知，作者是想说明网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展。故选B项。
14．细节理解题.根据第四段中“Hwever, the biggest cncern may be that peple keep buying because they knw they can resell gds, still chasing the pleasure f the next purchase but with an cased cnscience（愧疚）.（然而,最大的担忧可能是, 人们继续购买，因为他们知道他们可以转售商品，仍然在追求下一次购买的乐趣，但良心上有所放松）”可知，二手交易业务让人们有了处理已购商品的方法，解除了购买不必要衣服的愧疚感，可以继续购买衣服，即让人们可以自由地追求快时尚。故选A项。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A new Netflix series, Wrn Stries, dcuments the emtinal meanings that clthes can have: Each ld item is full f memries. Actually, a handbag frm a grandmther and a scarf passed n by a father are bth valuable fr us.（Netflix的一部新剧《旧衣往事》记录了衣服的情感含义：每一件旧衣服都充满了回忆。其实，祖母送的手提包和父亲送的围巾对我们来说都很有价值）”可知，这部剧表明旧衣服具有情感含义，充满回忆，富有价值。由此推知，它主张的是“旧东西值得长期珍藏”。故选B项。

20．根据前文“Anther way t beat the heat is wild swimming.（另一种消暑的方法是游泳）”可知，本段主要讲通过游泳来避暑, 再根据后文“Slwly submerge yur bdy in the water, understand the limits f yur swimming ability and knw the rules abut where it is safe t swim, because many peple drwn in ht weather.（慢慢地把你的身体没入水中，了解你游泳能力的极限，并知道在哪里游泳是安全的，因为许多人在炎热的天气会溺水）”可知，后文主要讲述了游泳时的注意事项，所以A项“But be aware f cld shck.（但是要注意冷休克）”符合本段内容。故选A项。

Tday’s celebrity（名人）funerals tend t invlve the public largely digitally rather than in persn. But peple are passinate all the same. In the past few mnths, grief has cursed arund the Internet fr Milan Kundera, and mst recently, Michael Gambn. If yu stp t think abut it, such expressins f strng feelings fr writers and actrs are dd, even irratinal.
Unlike ther kinds f grief, this ne is nt rted in persnal intimacy（亲密关系）. If yu ever interacted with a cherished authr, it was prbably during a bk tur when she signed yur cpy f her nvel. Maybe yu nce lcked eyes with a musician during a live cncert and he smiled at yu, but actually he did nt even knw yu.
Objectively, srrw makes sense when a star dies yung r vilently. Had she nt died at 27, wh knws what music Amy Winehuse wuld have added t her already impressive cllectins f wrk? The death f a lng-lived and fulfilled artist, hwever, is far frm the saddest item in an average day’s headlines. And while mst rdinary peple sink int blivin, these celebrities live n in their utput. Why, then, are these lsses felt s widely and keenly?
One interpretatin is that departed celebrities are merely the messengers. Part f yur past —the years in which the musician was the sundtrack, the writer yur ally（盟友）—can seem t fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a frm f gratitude fr the harmny and jy they supplied.
Mre imprtantly, the passing f an artist is an ccasin fr exchanges f ideas. In an atmized age, in which the default（默认）tne is critical, a belved figure’s death is a chance t share psitive feelings and memries with fellw admirers. These sad ccasins are the parting gifts f these artists.
8．Why des the authr mentin Milan Kundera and Michael Gambn in paragraph 2?
A．T prve that celebrities’ funerals tend t attract wider public attentin.
B．T illustrate why peple express their sadness at the lss f thse celebrities.
C．T demnstrate that peple’s murning fr celebrities seems strange and unreasnable.
D．T shw that peple’s grief ver celebrities’ death is ridiculus and impractical.
9．The underlined phrase “sink int blivin” in paragraph 4 prbably means ______.
A．are disappintedB．are desperate
C．are helplessD．are frgtten
10．What can we learn frm the passage?
A．Peple wn’t murn fr celebrities unless they have intimate relatinships with celebrities.
B．It’s natural that peple murn fr celebrities dying yung but nt fr thse lng-lived nes.
C．Peple feel sad fr the passing f celebrities because f the mental nurishment received.
D．Peple attend celebrities’ funerals, either in persn r n the Internet, t express their lyalty.
11．What’s the authr’s attitude twards public murning fr the celebrities?
A．Supprtive.B．Disapprving.C．Skeptical.D．Cncerned.
D
“Few articles change wners mre frequently than clthes. They travel dwnwards frm grade t grade in the scial scale with remarkable regularity,” wrte the jurnalist Adlphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a cat’s jurney in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resld repeatedly; cut dwn int a smaller item; eventually recycled int new fabric. But with the imprvement in peple’s living standards, that mdel is mind-bggling in the era f fast fashin. The average British custmer buys fur items a mnth. And it is reprted that 350,000 tnnes f used but still wearable clthes g t landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival f the secnd-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashin website Ass, sales f vintage clthes（古董衫）have risen by 92%. Clthing was nce wrn ut f necessity, and nw it is simply a way f life. Busy families sell used items n eBay, teenagers trade n Depp and sme fashin peple ffer designer labels n Vestiaire Cllective. Strikingly, it has becme big enugh business that mainstream retailers（零售商）want a slice f the actin.
Fr sme buyers and sellers, the switch t the secnd-hand is brn f financial difficulties. Only a few have becme wrried abut the impact f their shpping habit n the planet. But the shift is nly a partial slutin. Sme peple wrry that sme mainstream brands may “greenwash”—using secnd-hand gds t imprve their image, rather than engaging mre seriusly with sustainability.
Hwever, the biggest cncern may be that peple keep buying because they knw they can resell gds, still chasing the pleasure f the next purchase but with an eased cnscience（愧疚）. Bh, a pwerful fast fashin cmpany, has seen sales and prfits rise, despite cncerns abut envirnmental prblems in its supply chain that led t an investigatin last year.
A new Netflix series, Wrn Stries, dcuments the emtinal meanings that clthes can have: Each ld item is full f memries. Actually, a handbag frm a grandmther and a scarf passed n by a father are bth valuable fr us. A lve f style is nt a bad r an unimprtant thing. But a cmmitted relatinship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn t appreciate ur wn ld clthes as well as thers’?
12．What des the wrd “mind-bggling” underlined in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A．Unbelievable.B．Ppular.C．Reasnable.D．Influential.
13．With the business mentined in paragraph 2, the authr wants t shw ______.
A．ld clthes are mre ppular than new pieces
B．the nline secnd-hand markets are bming
C．the fashin wrld begins t favr vintage clthes
D．many clthing brands are innvative in their new prducts
14．Hw des the secnd-band trade impact peple accrding t paragraph 4?
A．It makes peple feel free t pursue fast fashin.
B．It makes peple mre cautius abut their budgets.
C．It encurages peple t chse ec-friendly clthes.
D．It pushes peple t be mre engaged with sustainability.
15．Which f the fllwing views des Wrn Stries advcate?
A．Old items have lst favr with the public.
B．Old items are wrthy f being lng cherished.

3．推理判断题。根据文章内容,结合第一段中“Frtunately, there are bks that can help t make dealing with schl easier.（幸运的是，有一些书可以帮助你更容易地应对学校）”可知，文章的目的是介绍一些有助于学生学习的书籍。故选A。
4．C 5．B 6．D 7．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Jim Metzner开始记录自然之声的经历，作品后被图书馆收录。
4.细节理解题。根据第二段的“The recrdings include sundscapes f every descriptin frm arund the wrld and interviews with scientists, artists and lcal peple. Whereas many recrdists fcus entirely n a single subject—nature, music r science —Metzner’s recrdings cnvey varius human experiences accmpanied by the vast range f sunds frm the natural wrld.（这些录音包括来自世界各地的各种音景，以及对科学家、艺术家和当地人的采访。尽管许多唱片家只专注于单一的主题——自然、音乐或科学，但梅茨纳的唱片传达了各种各样的人类经历，并伴随着来自自然界的各种各样的声音。）“可知，Metzner 的录音的特别之处在于它们同时展示不同主题的声音。故选C。
5．细节理解题.根据第三段的“Metzner’s career began with a mment f realizatin in the 1970s, when he first ventured nt the campus f UMass Amherst equipped with a stere recrder, micrphne and car phnes. Metznerre called pushing the red buttn and hearing a lifelike symphny: a cuple walking and talking nearby, a bicycle riding thrugh gravel, a bird flying verhead, bells in the distance.（Metzner的职业生涯始于20世纪70年代的一个顿悟时刻，当时他第一次带着立体声录音机、麦克风和耳机冒险来到马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的校园。Metznerre说，按下红色按钮，就能听到栩栩如生的交响乐：一对夫妇在附近散步聊天，一辆自行车穿过碎石，一只鸟从头顶飞过，远处传来铃声。）”可知，激发Metzner从事唱片事业的是在马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的校园里的一个充满声音的时刻，故选B。
6．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But he als wants t make sure it’s actually being heard, nt just“buried in an archive（档案室）.（但他也想确保它真的被听到，而不是“埋在档案里”。）”以及下一段“He hpes mre peple will get t experience—and recgnize the value-f sundscapes”可知，在他毕生的工作中，Metzner最在意的是更多的人可以听到它，并意识到它的价值。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yu can g t a museum and see Diane Arbus’ phtgraphs. Yu can see Rene Magritte’s paintings,”he adds.“Why nt sundscapes?”（“你可以去博物馆看Diane Arbus的照片。你可以看到Rene Magrite的画，”他补充道。“为什么不能看声音景观呢？”）”可知，Metzner在最后一段的意思是声音景观也是一种艺术形式。故选A。
8．C 9．D 10．C 11．A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了人们哀悼离世艺术界名流这一现象并分析其背后的原因。
8．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the past few mnths, grief has cursed arund the internet fr Milan Kundera, and mst recently, Michael Gambn. If yu stp t think abut it, such expressins f strng feelings fr writers and actrs are dd, even irratinal.（在过去的几个月里，米兰·昆德拉（Milan Kundera）和迈克尔·甘本（Michael Gambn）的悲痛传遍了互联网。如果你停下来想一想,这种对作家和演员的强烈感情的表达是奇怪的，甚至是非理性的）”可推知，作者在第2段提到了米兰·昆德拉和迈克尔·甘本是为了引出“人们对名人的哀悼似乎是奇怪和非理性的”这一观点。故选C项。
9．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“And while mst rdinary peple sink int blivin, these celebrities live n in their utput.（尽管大多数普通人sink int blivin，这些名人却在他们的作品中活了下来）”中连词“while”可知，句中上下文是转折关系，与下文中“live n in their utput”相对应，名人“在他们的作品中活了下来”，普通人“逐渐被人们遗忘”。故选D项。
10．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Part f yur past—the years in which the musician was the sundtrack, the writer yur ally（盟友）—can seem t fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a frm f gratitude fr the harmny and jy they supplie.（你过去的一部分——在那些年，音乐家是你的配乐，作家是你的盟友——似乎会随着他们一起消逝。悲伤可以被看作是对他们所提供的平静与快乐的一种感激）”可知，人们对名人的去世感到悲伤，因为他们曾经从名人的作品中得到了精神上的滋养。故选C项。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Mre imprtantly, the passing f an artist is an ccasin fr exchanges f ideas. In an atmized age, in which the default（默认）tne is critical, a belved figure’s death is a chance t share psitive feelings and memries with fellw admirers.（更重要的是，一个艺术家的去世是一个交流思想的机会。在一个原子化的，默认的语气是批判的时代，一个深受爱戴的人的死亡是一个与其他崇拜者分享积极的感受和回忆的机会）”可知，作者认为名人的离世和公众悼念提供了交流思想的机会和分享积极的感受和回忆的机会，所以作者对悼念名人持支持的态度。故选A项。
12．A 13．8 14．A 15．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了与从前反复使用衣服的模式不同，现在大家往往追逐快时尚，造成了很大浪费，不过网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展，但只有少部分人是真的认识到了自己的购物习惯对地球的影响，而且一些主流品牌有可能会借此机会来“洗绿”，很多人有可能会继续购买。文章指出，虽然追求风格无可厚非，但是学会欣赏旧衣服实际上是很有意义的。
12．词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“as he truced a cat’s jurney in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resld repeatedly, cut dwn int a smaller item; eventually recycled int new fabric（他追溯了一件大衣在上个世纪的历程: 反复清洗、修理和转售; 赠为成更小件的；最终被回收制成新的织物）”可知，以前的衣服会被反复多次使用，再结合表示转折意义的“But”和划线词的下文“Thu average British custmer buys fur item s a mnth. And it is reprted that 350,000 tnnes f used but still wearable clthes g t landfills in the UK each year.（英国消费者平均每月购买四件商品。据报道，英国每年有35万吨用过但还能穿的衣服被送往垃圾填埋场）”可知，现在情况和以前不同，衣服更迭速度很快，很多衣服被浪费了。由此可知，以前衣服循环使用的模式在现在快时尚的时代是令人难以置信的，划线词意思应该与unbelievable“令人难以置信的”一致。故选A项。
13．推理判断题。根据第二段中“At fashin website Ass, sales f vintage clthes（古董衫）have risen by 92%. Clthing was nce wrn ut f necessity, and nw it is simply a way f life. Busy fumilies sell used item s n eBay, teenagers trad n Depp and sme fashin peple ffer designer labels n Vestiaire Cllective. Strikingly, it has becme big enugh business that mainstream retailers（零售商）want a slice f the actin.（在时尚网站Ass，古董的销量增长了92%。衣服曾经是出于需要而穿，现在它只是一种生活方式。忙碌的家庭在eBay上出售二手物品，青少年在Depp上交易，一些时尚人士在Vestaire Cllective上出售设计师品牌。引人注目的是，它已经成为一个足够大的业务，主流零售商也想分一杯羹）”可知，网络二手交易销量增长，不同的人群在不同的平台交易二手衣服，主流零售商甚至也想参与其中。由此排知，作者是想说明网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展。故选B项。
14．细节理解题.根据第四段中“Hwever, the biggest cncern may be that peple keep buying because they knw they can resell gds, still chasing the pleasure f the next purchase but with an cased cnscience（愧疚）.（然而,最大的担忧可能是, 人们继续购买，因为他们知道他们可以转售商品，仍然在追求下一次购买的乐趣，但良心上有所放松）”可知，二手交易业务让人们有了处理已购商品的方法，解除了购买不必要衣服的愧疚感，可以继续购买衣服，即让人们可以自由地追求快时尚。故选A项。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A new Netflix series, Wrn Stries, dcuments the emtinal meanings that clthes can have: Each ld item is full f memries. Actually, a handbag frm a grandmther and a scarf passed n by a father are bth valuable fr us.（Netflix的一部新剧《旧衣往事》记录了衣服的情感含义：每一件旧衣服都充满了回忆。其实，祖母送的手提包和父亲送的围巾对我们来说都很有价值）”可知，这部剧表明旧衣服具有情感含义，充满回忆，富有价值。由此推知，它主张的是“旧东西值得长期珍藏”。故选B项。
16．F 17．B 18．G 19．D 20．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在英国如何避暑。
16．分析设空，空处位于段尾，应是对前文的总结或者回答,根据前文“Yu need t take extra care in the UK when temperatures hit 24℃.（在英国，当气温达到24℃时，你需要格外小心）”可知，F项“This is when heat illness and deaths start increasing.（这是中暑疾病和死亡人数开始增加的时候）”可知，F选项中的“This is when”和上文中的“when temperatures bit 24℃”照应，并且该选项讲述了高温的危害,即导致疾病和死亡，进而跟下文段首句“Being t ht makes yu unwell and can even kill yu.（太热会让你身体不适，甚至会致命）”进行了衔接。故选F项。
17．根据前文“Being t ht makes yu unwell and can even kill yu.（太热会让你身体不适,甚至会致命）”以及后文“Peple ver 65．under five, pregnant wmen, thse with medical cnditins（such as heart disease and mental health cnditins）and thse wh wrk utside need extra prtectin in ht weather.（65岁以上、5岁以下、孕妇、有疾病（如心脏病和精神疾病）的人以及在室外工作的人在炎热的天气下需要额外的保护）”可知，空处是一个过渡句，由结论过渡到具体的例子，所以B项“Sme peple are mre fragile t heat.（有些人更容易受热）”符合文意。故选B项。
