Laura Madden is a small business owner and sustainable fashion advocate. “ReFashioned Art is a purpose-driven business, combining style and sustainability (可持续性),” Madden says,“I love fashion, but I also care deeply about the environment.”
She slowly built her network and became an influencer who ran a popular blog. She shares that her passion for sustainability came about in 2015 when she watched a life-changing documentary about the social and environmental issues brought up by the fashion industry. “My guilty pleasures－ shopping and fashion － that I assumed weren’t hurting anyone, were in reality hurting a lot of people,” she says.“I couldn’t stand the fact that something I loved so much was creating so much suffering on the planet. How could something that brought me so much beauty and joy be so dirty and destructive ”
With this realization, Madden became an advocate for sustainable fashion－including purchasing most of her own clothes second-hand and supporting sustainable brands. Although she was busy enough in 2019, she became a professional artist, creating pieces made from sustainable materials.
She notes that ReFashioned Art is first and foremost an art brand. “I am using my work to tell a story and create a narrative that style and sustainability can co-exist,” she says. “By repurposing old items into something more fashionable, elegant, and contemporary, I hope to inspire you to look for beauty where it is not normally found.”
For those interested in supporting sustainable art and fashion. Madden shares,“Get creative and look for beauty. Looking forward, I would love to partner with more designers.”
She adds,“We only have finite resources. The best thing we can all do is ask, ‘How else can I use this item ’”

If you were just going by the 1993 film Jurassic Park (侏罗纪公园), you might think that the Dilophosaurus (双冠龙) was pretty fast. But was it fast enough to beat Usain Bolt in a 100-meter dash
That’s the question that University of Toledo physicist Scott Lee posed to his students. Lee says, “I’m always looking for new and interesting things that will excite the students, so I try and bring these concepts into the classroom.”
Plenty of other scientists have been just as fascinated by the biomechanics (生物力学) of dinosaur movement. For example, scientists created a 3D reconstruction of a T-rex tail to calculate that the animal likely moved at just under 3 mph according to a paper published in 2021.
Lee points to the variety of approaches that researchers can use to model such predictions. “We have the bones from many dinosaurs; with the Dilophosaurus and T-rex, we have essentially complete skeletons, he says. “ By looking at modern animals, you can get an idea of how big the muscles were. Then you can calculate how big of a force you could apply to the legs of a dinosaur to... model how fast it would go.”
For many students just starting to learn about physics, the difference between speed and acceleration isn’t always intuitive (直观). “They tend to think of that as being the same thing－if you accelerate fast, you’re going to go fast,” says Lee“. but they’re actually very separate concepts.”
In his class, Lee wanted to create a situation where the speeds between two subjects were roughly the same, but because the accelerations were different, so was the outcome. They ultimately concluded that Bolt would easily outrun Dilophosaurus. leaving it in the dust by two seconds.
As Lee emphasized to his class the key factor was indeed acceleration. Following Newton’s second law of motion, where acceleration is dependent upon an object’s mass (质量) and force, Bolt’s smaller size would give him an early leg up. Lee says, “The bigger something gets and its acceleration becomes less. Dilophosaurus is so much heavier than Bolt, so it accelerates a lot slower.”
12. Why did Scott Lee raise the question in Paragraph 1 to his students
A. To bring in a new concept
B. To meet his curiosity
C. To arouse students’ interest.
D. To beat an Olympic gold medalist
13. Which of the following is true according to the Passage
A. Lee made a 3D reconstruction of a T-rex tail to calculate its speed.
B. Modern animals’ muscles are about the same size as those of dinosaurs.
C. Lee’s students considered speed and acceleration to be very different concepts.
D. Lee wanted to choose two objects with almost the same speed for his class.
14. What can we learn from Lee’s words in Paragraph 7
A. Because of his smaller size, Bolt accelerates faster
B. An object’s mass partly depends on its acceleration
C. The bigger something becomes, the faster it accelerates.
D. Dilophosaurus’ acceleration has nothing to do with its mass.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The difference between speed and acceleration.
B. The reason why Bolt can outrun a Dilophosaurus.
C. The application of Newton’s second law of motion.
D. An interesting and exciting class taught by Scott Lee.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了博尔特为什么能跑得过双冠龙的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“That’s the question that University of Toledo physicist Scott Lee posed to his students. Lee says, “I’m always looking for new and interesting things that will excite the students, so I try and bring these concepts into the classroom.”(这是托莱多大学的物理学家Scott Lee向他的学生提出的问题。李说：“我一直在寻找能让学生兴奋的新鲜有趣的东西，所以我试着把这些概念带到课堂上。”)”以及全文内容可推断，作者提出第一段的问题是为了引起读者的兴趣。故选C。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“In his class, Lee wanted to create a situation where the speeds between two subjects were roughly the same, but because the accelerations were different, so was the outcome.(在他的课堂上，李想创造一种情况，两个对象之间的速度大致相同，但因为加速度不同，所以结果也不同。)”可知，在他的课上，李想要选择两个速度大致相同的对象。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第七段“Lee says, “The bigger something gets and its acceleration becomes less. Dilophosaurus is so much heavier than Bolt, so it accelerates a lot slower.”(李说：“物体越大，加速度就越小。双冠龙比博尔特重得多，所以它的加速速度要慢得多。”)”可推断，物体越大加速度就越小，因此博尔特的体型较小，所以加速度要快得多。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“They ultimately concluded that Bolt would easily outrun Dilophosaurus leaving it in the dust by two seconds.( 他们最终得出结论，博尔特会轻松跑过双冠龙，将其甩在后面两秒。)”和文章最后一段“As Lee emphasized to his class the key factor was indeed acceleration. Following Newton’s second law of motion, where acceleration is dependent upon an object’s mass (质量) and force, Bolt’s smaller size would give him an early leg up. Lee says, “ The bigger something gets and its acceleration becomes less. Dilophosaurus is so much heavier than Bolt, so it accelerates a lot slower.”(正如李在课堂上所强调的那样，关键因素确实是加速。根据牛顿第二运动定律，加速度取决于物体的质量和力，博尔特较小的体型会给他带来优势。李说：“物体越大，加速度就越小。双冠龙比博尔特重得多，所以它的加速速度要慢得多。”)”可知，文章主要分析了博尔特是否能跑得过双冠龙。故选B。

Reflections of Hope in the Snowstorm
I was homesick. My husband, Keith, was attending Utah State University in Logan, Utah. We lived eight hundred miles away from my parents and family in California. We couldn’t afford to go home for Christmas. We would just stay home in Hyrum.
Then a most unexpected gift arrived in a Christmas card: enough money for gas for the eight- hundred-mile drive home. We were so excited. Keith took time off from his part-time job and we packed the car. We prayed for safety and good traveling conditions.
We drove all day to the west coast of California. Everything went well and we finally drove up the familiar driveway, honking(按喇叭)the horn to signal our arrival. My family rushed out to greet us, welcoming us with love and Christmas cheer. We celebrated Christmas in my childhood home, all of us together again for the first time in three years. All too soon. the time came for us to return to Utah. My parents gave us some money for gas. With tears and hugs. we started on our way. Hoping to make good time. we drove steadily through the day.
Toward evening, snow flurries swirled (盘旋飞舞)around the car. We stopped just long enough to fuel up the car. With no credit card and very little cash, we did not even consider staying overnight in a motel.
If the road and weather conditions were good. we had about two hours of driving to get to Salt Lake City, where we could just make it to Keith’s parents’ home that night for a rest. Then we could go on to Hyrum in the morning, and he would make it to work on time. We drove into the darkening night. Snow swirled wildly about the car. Keith was having trouble seeing the road, as the headlights seemed dim. He pulled over, and got out to brush the snow away from them.
注意：1．续写词数应为 150 左右；2．请按如下格式在以下位置作答。
Then he climbed back into the driver’s seat and told me,“ We have only one headlight.”

Hours later, we reached the welcome streetlights and plowed roads (铲好雪 的道路)of Salt Lake City following the truck
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then he climbed back into the driver’s seat and told me. “We have only one headlight.” Full of anxiety, we had no choice but to head slowly through the snowy darkness. We desperately tried to keep our eyes on the white line in the road, but it disappeared quickly in the accumulating snow. We seemed alone on that dark freeway with no traffic in either direction. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a truck appeared, gaining quickly upon us. The driver could have sped ahead. Instead, he stayed right with us, lighting our way. We cautiously crept along, following the truck.
Hours later, we reached the welcome streetlights and plowed roads of Salt Lake City following the truck. To signal our gratitude, Keith blinked our one headlight at the truck driver in front of us. Our one headlight had reflected off the back of his truck as he had lighted our way in the dark night. As I gratefully lay down at last that night, the images of the steadily blowing snow drifted before my eyes. More importantly, though, my mind’s eye was fixed on the reflection of the truck driver who had stayed with us, giving us hope through the darkest hours of that snow - filled night.

Laura Madden is a small business owner and sustainable fashion advocate. “ReFashioned Art is a purpose-driven business, combining style and sustainability (可持续性),” Madden says,“I love fashion, but I also care deeply about the environment.”
She slowly built her network and became an influencer who ran a popular blog. She shares that her passion for sustainability came about in 2015 when she watched a life-changing documentary about the social and environmental issues brought up by the fashion industry. “My guilty pleasures－ shopping and fashion － that I assumed weren’t hurting anyone, were in reality hurting a lot of people,” she says.“I couldn’t stand the fact that something I loved so much was creating so much suffering on the planet. How could something that brought me so much beauty and joy be so dirty and destructive ”
With this realization, Madden became an advocate for sustainable fashion－including purchasing most of her own clothes second-hand and supporting sustainable brands. Although she was busy enough in 2019, she became a professional artist, creating pieces made from sustainable materials.
She notes that ReFashioned Art is first and foremost an art brand. “I am using my work to tell a story and create a narrative that style and sustainability can co-exist,” she says. “By repurposing old items into something more fashionable, elegant, and contemporary, I hope to inspire you to look for beauty where it is not normally found.”
For those interested in supporting sustainable art and fashion. Madden shares “Get creative and look for beauty. Looking forward, I would love to partner with more designers.”
She adds,“We only have finite resources. The best thing we can all do is ask, ‘How else can I use this item ’”

That’s the question that University of Toledo physicist Scott Lee posed to his students. Lee says, “I’m always looking for new and interesting things that will excite the students, so I try and bring these concepts into the classroom.”
Plenty of other scientists have been just as fascinated by the biomechanics (生物力学) of dinosaur movement. For example, scientists created a 3D reconstruction of a T-rex tail to calculate that the animal likely moved at just under 3 mph according to a paper published in 2021.
Lee points to the variety of approaches that researchers can use to model such predictions. “We have the bones from many dinosaurs; with the Dilophosaurus and T-rex, we have essentially complete skeletons, he says. “ By looking at modern animals, you can get an idea of how big the muscles were. Then you can calculate how big of a force you could apply to the legs of a dinosaur to... model how fast it would go.”
For many students just starting to learn about physics, the difference between speed and acceleration isn’t always intuitive (直观的). “They tend to think of that as being the same thing－if you accelerate fast, you’re going to go fast,” says Lee“. but they’re actually very separate concepts.”
In his class, Lee wanted to create a situation where the speeds between two subjects were roughly the same, but because the accelerations were different, so was the outcome. They ultimately concluded that Bolt would easily outrun Dilophosaurus. leaving it in the dust by two seconds.
As Lee emphasized to his class the key factor was indeed acceleration. Following Newton’s second law of motion, where acceleration is dependent upon an object’s mass (质量) and force, Bolt’s smaller size would give him an early leg up. Lee says, “The bigger something gets and its acceleration becomes less. Dilophosaurus is so much heavier than Bolt, so it accelerates a lot slower.”
12. Why did Scott Lee raise the question in Paragraph 1 to his students
A. To bring in a new concept
B. To meet his curiosity
C. To arouse students’ interest.
D. To beat an Olympic gold medalist
13. Which of the following is true according to the Passage
A. Lee made a 3D reconstruction of a T-rex tail to calculate its speed.
B. Modern animals’ muscles are about the same size as those of dinosaurs.
C. Lee’s students considered speed and acceleration to be very different concepts.
D. Lee wanted to choose two objects with almost the same speed for his class.
14. What can we learn from Lee’s words in Paragraph 7
A. Because of his smaller size, Bolt accelerates faster
B. An object’s mass partly depends on its acceleration
C. The bigger something becomes, the faster it accelerates.
D. Dilophosaurus’ acceleration has nothing to do with its mass.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The difference between speed and acceleration.
B. The reason why Bolt can outrun a Dilophosaurus.
C. The application of Newton’s second law of motion.
D. An interesting and exciting class taught by Scott Lee.

Reflections of Hope in the Snowstorm
I was homesick. My husband, Keith, was attending Utah State University in Logan, Utah. We lived eight hundred miles away from my parents and family in California. We couldn’t afford to go home for Christmas. We would just stay home in Hyrum.
Then a most unexpected gift arrived in a Christmas card: enough money for gas for the eight- hundred-mile drive home. We were so excited. Keith took time off from his part-time job and we packed the car. We prayed for safety and good traveling conditions.
We drove all day to the west coast of California. Everything went well and we finally drove up the familiar driveway, honking(按喇叭)the horn to signal our arrival. My family rushed out to greet us, welcoming us with love and Christmas cheer. We celebrated Christmas in my childhood home, all of us together again for the first time in three years. All too soon. the time came for us to return to Utah. My parents gave us some money for gas. With tears and hugs. we started on our way. Hoping to make good time. we drove steadily through the day.
Toward evening, snow flurries swirled (盘旋飞舞)around the car. We stopped just long enough to fuel up the car. With no credit card and very little cash, we did not even consider staying overnight in a motel.
If the road and weather conditions were good. we had about two hours of driving to get to Salt Lake City, where we could just make it to Keith’s parents’ home that night for a rest. Then we could go on to Hyrum in the morning, and he would make it to work on time. We drove into the darkening night. Snow swirled wildly about the car. Keith was having trouble seeing the road, as the headlights seemed dim. He pulled over, and got out to brush the snow away from them.
注意：1．续写词数应为 150 左右；2．请按如下格式在以下位置作答。
Then he climbed back into the driver’s seat and told me,“ We have only one headlight.”
