Zhang Zening, a hanfu enthusiast in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, set foot on an extraordinary journey to restore (复兴) this traditional Chinese clothing. Inspired by ancient wall paintings, Zhang planned to turn them into wearable pieces. She believed hanfu serves as a gateway into the past, allowing people to truly connect with their cultural heritage. “I believe as a reflection of our historical culture, hanfu, when appreciated by children for its beauty, is likely to be naturally loved,” said Zhang.
Upon graduating from college, Zhang first worked in material research and frequently organized various hanfu activities in her spare time. Later she opened a hanfu studio with some friends and started her own career. Around 2015, Zhang began to focus on the process of hanfu restoration.
On a visit to Dunhuang, she was fascinated by the paintings there, wondering how she could possibly transform these paintings into wearable pieces. Despite her determination, she found it was troublesome. She has devoted a large amount of time to researching clothing patterns, analyzing materials and personally handling the printing. In over eight years, she managed to restore more than 50 sets.
Zhang pointed that hanfu restoration is a relatively promising and profitable field within the culture circle. Unlike others specializing in hanfu of different dynasties, such as the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Zhang is not limited to specific time periods, and tries to focus on restoring whatever are painted on the walls.
Her unusual craftsmanship has not only delighted hanfu enthusiasts but also gave some opportunities to make a living. Now the owner of Helu Hanfu Studio, Zhang has cooperated with women’s re-employment organizations, seeking full-time stay-at-home women with sewing skills, among whom are many single mothers.
4. Why did Zhang decide to restore hanfu
A. To enrich her after-school activities. B. To carry forward Chinese culture.
C. To achieve her childhood dream. D. To make it suit modern tastes.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. It takes a lot to restore hanfu. B. It’s easy to copy the painting patterns.
C. Printing patterns is the biggest problem. D. There has been a growing demand for hanfu.
6. What can best describe Zhang Zening
A. Humorous and open-minded. B. Brave and warm-hearted.
C. Independent and well-educated. D. Responsible and business-minded.
7. What can be a best title for the text
A. Restoring timeless grace: the return of hanfu
B. Bearing a positive attitude: the hope of career
C. A determined woman making breakthroughs
D. A wonderful tradition facing challenges
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】

According to a new research, published in the journal Nature by a team from the University of Liverpool, humans were building structures made of wood, dating back at least 476,000 years ago. The research team found well-preserved wood at the site of Kalambo Falls, Zambia. Stone tool cut-marks on the wood show that these early humans shaped and joined two large logs (原木) to make a structure, probably the foundation of a platform. This is the earliest evidence in the world of the designed arrangement of logs to fit together.
Until now, evidence for the human use of wood was limited to its use for making fire, digging sticks and other tools. Wood is rarely found in such ancient sites as it usually rots and disappears, but at Kalambo Falls permanently high water levels kept the wood.
This discovery challenges the prevailing view that Stone Age humans were moving around. Here humans not only had a constant source of water, but the forest around them provided enough food to enable them to settle and make structures. Professor Larry Barham, from the University of Liverpool, who leads the “Deep Roots of Humanity” research project said, “This find has changed how I think about our early ancestors. They used their intelligence, imagination, and skills to create something they’d never seen before, something that had never previously existed.”
The special new luminescence (冷光) dating technique was carried out by experts, which explains the last time materials in the sand surrounding the finds were exposed to sunlight, to determine their age. This research forms part of the pioneering “Deep Roots of Humanity” project. Professor Barham added, “Kalambo Falls is an extraordinary site in Zambia. The Deep Roots team is looking forward to more exciting discoveries coming from its waterlogged sands.”
8. What is the finding of the new research
A. Wood was used for construction. B. Wood pieces were joined for fun.
C. Ancestors were good at architecture. D. Ancient people designed wood products.
9. Which can replace the underlined word “prevailing” in paragraph 3
A. Obvious. B. Common. C. Deep. D. Strong.
10. How does Professor Larry Barham find the research
A. Energy-saving. B. Time-consuming. C. Ground-breaking. D. Problem-solving.
11. What are the researchers expecting
A. More discoveries come from Kalambo Falls. B. Something can be done to protect Zambia.
C. The sands used for research can be saved. D. The site is set aside for further studies.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据利物浦大学的一个研究小组发表在《自然》杂志上的一项新研究，人类建造木头结构的历史至少可以追溯到47.6万年前。文章介绍了这一发现以及人们对此的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The research team found well-preserved wood at the site of Kalambo Falls, Zambia. Stone tool cut-marks on the wood show that these early humans shaped and joined two large logs (原木) to make a structure, probably the foundation of a platform. This is the earliest evidence in the world of the designed arrangement of logs to fit together.(研究小组在赞比亚的卡兰博瀑布遗址发现了保存完好的木材。木头上的石器切割痕迹表明，这些早期人类塑造并连接了两根大原木，形成了一个结构，可能是一个平台的基础。这是世界上最早的证据，证明了原木的设计排列是相互配合的)”可知，这项新研究的发现是木材被用于建筑。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“This find has changed how I think about our early ancestors.(这一发现改变了我对我们早期祖先的看法)”可知，这一发现挑战了石器时代人类四处迁徙的普遍观点。故划线词意思是“普遍的”。故选B。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Professor Larry Barham, from the University of Liverpool, who leads the “Deep Roots of Humanity” research project said, “This find has changed how I think about our early ancestors. They used their intelligence, imagination, and skills to create something they’d never seen before, something that had never previously existed.”(利物浦大学的拉里·巴勒姆教授领导了“人类的深层根源”研究项目，他说：“这一发现改变了我对我们早期祖先的看法。他们用自己的智慧、想象力和技能创造了一些他们从未见过的东西，一些以前从未存在过的东西。”)”可知，拉里·巴勒姆教授认为这项研究是突破性的。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Kalambo Falls is an extraordinary site in Zambia. The Deep Roots team is looking forward to more exciting discoveries coming from its waterlogged sands.(卡兰博瀑布是赞比亚一个非凡的景点。“深根”团队期待着从其浸水的沙子中获得更多令人兴奋的发现)”可知，研究人员的期望是有更多来自卡兰博瀑布的发现。故选A。

In an age filled with texting and messaging apps, phone calls seem to be becoming a relic of the past, particularly among younger generations. A recent survey by Sky highlights the change, suggesting that avoiding phone calls isn’t just a preference; it’s a reflection of anxiety.
This anxiety is not entirely new. Traditional forms of speaking can cause a release of oxytocin (催产素), which helps reduce social anxiety. However, in the absence of physical gestures and the comfort of a known audience, phone calls can increase these anxieties, making the experience feel more serious.
Phone conversations can be embarrassing due to the lack of body language. In face-to-face communications, we rely heavily on gestures, facial expressions, and body language to understand messages, which are absent in phone conversations. This can lead to misunderstandings and a feeling of disconnection. Besides, the pressure to respond immediately without the time to think, as afforded by messaging apps, can increase the anxiety connected with phone calls.
Although they may cause discomfort, phone conversations are an important skill. In the professional world, the ability to communicate effectively over the phone remains a skill of great value. Therefore, it’s a must to teach younger generations, including Gen Z, the art of phone conversation, not just for professional success but also for developing personal relationships.
Moreover adding emotions to communications improves memorability. Phone conversations, with their immediate and personal nature, can produce a deeper emotional connection than text-based communication.
While it’s understandable why phone calls can feel uncomfortable in today’s digital age, it’s important to recognize the value they hold in effective communication and relationship building. As we reduce this “phone anxiety”, it matters to encourage and learn the art of phone conversation, balancing the ease of messaging with the depth of a real-time voice call. This balance is key to keeping healthy, meaningful relationships and ensuring personal and professional growth in an increasingly digital world.
12. What makes phone calls less popular
A. A preference for social apps. B. Need for physical presence.
C. Difficulty of making calls. D. A reflection of anxiety.
13. What may increase anxiety in phone conversations
A. Comfort from strangers. B. Puzzling body gestures.
C. Limited time for replying. D. Bad interpersonal relationships.
14. Why is it necessary for the young to learn the art of phone calls
A. To memorize information. B. To promote exchange.
C. To gain confidence. D. To show politeness.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Methods of achieving personal growth. B. Benefits of communicating over phones.
C The importance of reducing phone anxiety. D. A request of balancing voice calls and texting.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讨论了年轻人不喜欢打电话的原因，认为电话通话会引起社交焦虑，并缺乏身体语言，导致误解和失去联系感。但电话通话是必要的交流技巧，能够在个人和职业发展中发挥重要作用，同时能增加情感连接和提高信息记忆度。因此，我们需要学习和鼓励电话通话，在数字化时代中取得平衡，以保持健康和有意义的人际关系。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In an age filled with texting and messaging apps, phone calls seem to be becoming a relic of the past, particularly among younger generations.(在这个充斥着短信和即时通讯应用的时代，打电话似乎已经成为了过去的遗物，尤其是在年轻一代中)”可知，现在年轻一代更倾向于短信和即时通讯应用，所以是对社交应用的偏好让电话变得不那么流行。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Phone conversations can be embarrassing due to the lack of body language. In face-to-face communications, we rely heavily on gestures, facial expressions, and body language to understand messages, which are absent in phone conversations. This can lead to misunderstandings and a feeling of disconnection. Besides, the pressure to respond immediately without the time to think, as afforded by messaging apps, can increase the anxiety connected with phone calls.(由于缺乏肢体语言，电话交谈可能会令人尴尬。在面对面的交流中，我们严重依赖手势、面部表情和肢体语言来理解信息，而这些在电话交谈中是不存在的。这会导致误解和疏离感。此外，即时回复的压力，没有时间思考，就像即时通讯应用所提供的那样，会增加与电话有关的焦虑)”可知，回复时间有限会在电话交谈中增加焦虑。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Although they may cause discomfort, phone conversations are an important skill. In the professional world, the ability to communicate effectively over the phone remains a skill of great value. Therefore, it’s a must to teach younger generations, including Gen Z, the art of phone conversation, not just for professional success but also for developing personal relationships.(尽管打电话可能会引起不适，但它是一项重要的技能。在专业领域，通过电话进行有效沟通的能力仍然是一项非常有价值的技能。因此，必须教给年轻一代，包括Z世代，电话交谈的艺术，不仅是为了职业上的成功，也是为了发展人际关系)”以及第五段“Moreover, adding emotions to communications improves memorability. Phone conversations, with their immediate and personal nature, can produce a deeper emotional connection than text-based communication.(此外，在交流中加入情感可以提高记忆力。电话交谈具有即时和私人的性质，比基于文本的交流能产生更深层次的情感联系)”可知，学习打电话的艺术可以发展人际关系以及产生更深层次的情感联系，也就是促进交流，所以年轻人有必要学习。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While it’s understandable why phone calls can feel uncomfortable in today’s digital age, it’s important to recognize the value they hold in effective communication and relationship building. As we reduce this “phone anxiety”, it matters to encourage and learn the art of phone conversation, balancing the ease of messaging with the depth of a real-time voice call. This balance is key to keeping healthy, meaningful relationships and ensuring personal and professional growth in an increasingly digital world.(虽然可以理解为什么在今天的数字时代打电话会让人感到不舒服，但重要的是要认识到它们在有效沟通和建立关系方面的价值。当我们减少这种“电话焦虑”时，鼓励和学习电话交谈的艺术，平衡信息的便利性和实时语音通话的深度是很重要的。在这个日益数字化的世界里，这种平衡是保持健康、有意义的人际关系、确保个人和职业发展的关键)”可知，本段主要讲述了要求平衡语音通话和短信。故选D项。

“Let’s invite the neighbors to a get-to-know-you party!” I announced to my wife, Sarah, and our 11-year-old twins, Olivia and Holly, as we pulled into the driveway of our new house.
The idea had come to me the day we moved in a month earlier. Every time we passed each basketball field and garden, my excitement grew. Families! I could picture us all hanging out together.
Now, here I was at the end of that driveway, sitting in my camp chair, having serious second thoughts. What if we wait a couple more months to hold a get-together What if we get to know a few folks first Anyway, I made the final decision.
Sarah rearranged bags of chips and popcorn in a basket she’d set out. “I hope we have enough,” she said. Olivia and Holly threw the beanbags to each other to pass the time. A week earlier, Sarah had designed the invitations, “Hello! We’re new to the neighborhood. The Miller Family. We’d love to meet you. Monday, July 5, anytime between 6 and 8 p. m. It would be great fun!”
Sarah and the girls had gone house to house, putting an invitation in their mailboxes on Whitney Drive, namely the Parkers, a single mother Sally with two kids and Mr. ing home, the kids excitedly talked about the Willsons’, an elderly couple they me t in the neighborhood, who seemed to be quite interested when they told them about the party.
However, we hadn’t heard a word since. I checked my watch. 6:10. Maybe I’d misjudged. Sarah also had her doubts obviously. “Would we look silly sitting all alone in our front yard ” she said. “What if no one shows up ” I put my arm around her and drew her close. “We have to have faith,” I said. Then I took two bottles from the cooler I’d stored with juice boxes and cold drinks. Sarah and I clinked (碰杯) them together. “To our new neighborhood,” I said.

【答案】 Another 10 minutes dragged by and then my eyes widened. In the distance, across the road, a couple walked in our direction. The woman was holding a bunch of flowers. “Someone’s coming!” Holly and Olivia called out, jumping up and down. With a racing heart, I watched as they headed our way. I sprang out of my seat, ran to them and reached out my hand. “Hi! I’m Tim. Thank you for coming!” “I’m Kyle Willson,” the husband said, shaking my hand firmly. “And I’m Emily,” his wife said. Smiling gently, Sarah took the bunch of flowers from her, hugged her and then led them to the yard. I was less anxious at that time.
Chatting with the old couple in the yard, we found more neighbors coming. Sally with the lovely kids, the Parkers, and Mr. Davis all made it here. We introduced each other and talked over refreshing cold drinks, bursting into laughter from time to time. “This is such a great idea and thank you for offering us the opportunity to bond with everybody on Whitney Drive.” Sally said.

Zhang Zening, a hanfu enthusiast in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, set foot on an extraordinary journey to restore (复兴) this traditional Chinese clothing. Inspired by ancient wall paintings, Zhang planned to turn them into wearable pieces. She believed hanfu serves as a gateway into the past, allowing people to truly connect with their cultural heritage. “I believe as a reflection of our historical culture, hanfu, when appreciated by children for its beauty, is likely to be naturally loved,” said Zhang.
Upon graduating from college, Zhang first worked in material research and frequently organized various hanfu activities in her spare time. Later she opened a hanfu studio with some friends and started her own career. Around 2015, Zhang began to focus on the process of hanfu restoration.
On a visit to Dunhuang, she was fascinated by the paintings there, wondering how she could possibly transform these paintings into wearable pieces. Despite her determination, she found it was troublesome. She has devoted a large amount of time to researching clothing patterns, analyzing materials and personally handling the printing. In over eight years, she managed to restore more than 50 sets.
Zhang pointed that hanfu restoration is a relatively promising and profitable field within the culture circle. Unlike others specializing in hanfu of different dynasties, such as the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Zhang is not limited to specific time periods, and tries to focus on restoring whatever are painted on the walls.
Her unusual craftsmanship has not only delighted hanfu enthusiasts but also gave some opportunities to make a living. Now the owner of Helu Hanfu Studio, Zhang has cooperated with women’s re-employment organizations, seeking full-time stay-at-home women with sewing skills, among whom are many single mothers.
4. Why did Zhang decide to restore hanfu
A. To enrich her after-school activities. B. To carry forward Chinese culture.
C. To achieve her childhood dream. D. To make it suit modern tastes.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. It takes a lot to restore hanfu. B. It’s easy to copy the painting patterns.
C. Printing patterns is the biggest problem. D. There has been a growing demand for hanfu.
6. What can best describe Zhang Zening
A. Humorous and open-minded. B. Brave and warm-hearted.
C. Independent and well-educated. D. Responsible and business-minded.
7. What can be a best title for the text
A. Restoring timeless grace: the return of hanfu
B. Bearing a positive attitude: the hope of career
C. A determined woman making breakthroughs
D. A wonderful tradition facing challenges
C
According to a new research, published in the journal Nature by a team from the University of Liverpool, humans were building structures made of wood, dating back at least 476,000 years ago. The research team found well-preserved wood at the site of Kalambo Falls, Zambia. Stone tool cut-marks on the wood show that these early humans shaped and joined two large logs (原木) to make a structure, probably the foundation of a platform. This is the earliest evidence in the world of the designed arrangement of logs to fit together.
Until now, evidence for the human use of wood was limited to its use for making fire, digging sticks and other tools. Wood is rarely found in such ancient sites as it usually rots and disappears, but at Kalambo Falls permanently high water levels kept the wood.
This discovery challenges the prevailing view that Stone Age humans were moving around. Here humans not only had a constant source of water, but the forest around them provided enough food to enable them to settle and make structures. Professor Larry Barham, from the University of Liverpool, who leads the “Deep Roots of Humanity” research project said, “This find has changed how I think about our early ancestors. They used their intelligence, imagination, and skills to create something they’d never seen before, something that had never previously existed.”

In an age filled with texting and messaging apps, phone calls seem to be becoming a relic of the past, particularly among younger generations. A recent survey by Sky highlights the change, suggesting that avoiding phone calls isn’t just a preference; it’s a reflection of anxiety.
This anxiety is not entirely new. Traditional forms of speaking can cause a release of oxytocin (催产素), which helps reduce social anxiety. However, in the absence of physical gestures and the comfort of a known audience, phone calls can increase these anxieties, making the experience feel more serious.
Phone conversations can be embarrassing due to the lack of body language. In face-to-face communications, we rely heavily on gestures, facial expressions, and body language to understand messages, which are absent in phone conversations. This can lead to misunderstandings and a feeling of disconnection. Besides, the pressure to respond immediately without the time to think, as afforded by messaging apps, can increase the anxiety connected with phone calls.
Although they may cause discomfort, phone conversations are an important skill. In the professional world, the ability to communicate effectively over the phone remains a skill of great value. Therefore, it’s a must to teach younger generations, including Gen Z, the art of phone conversation, not just for professional success but also for developing personal relationships.
Moreover, adding emotions to communications improves memorability. Phone conversations, with their immediate and personal nature, can produce a deeper emotional connection than text-based communication.
While it’s understandable why phone calls can feel uncomfortable in today’s digital age, it’s important to recognize the value they hold in effective communication and relationship building. As we reduce this “phone anxiety”, it matters to encourage and learn the art of phone conversation, balancing the ease of messaging with the depth of a real-time voice call. This balance is key to keeping healthy, meaningful relationships and ensuring personal and professional growth in an increasingly digital world.
12. What makes phone calls less popular
A. A preference for social apps. B. Need for physical presence.
C. Difficulty of making calls. D. A reflection of anxiety.
13. What may increase anxiety in phone conversations
A. Comfort from strangers. B. Puzzling body gestures.
C. Limited time for replying. D. Bad interpersonal relationships.
14. Why is it necessary for the young to learn the art of phone calls
A. To memorize information. B. To promote exchange.
C. To gain confidence. D. To show politeness.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Methods of achieving personal growth. B. Benefits of communicating over phones.
C. The importance of reducing phone anxiety. D. A request of balancing voice calls and texting.

“Let’s invite the neighbors to a get-to-know-you party!” I announced to my wife, Sarah, and our 11-year-old twins, Olivia and Holly, as we pulled into the driveway of our new house.
The idea had come to me the day we moved in a month earlier. Every time we passed each basketball field and garden, my excitement grew. Families! I could picture us all hanging out together.
Now, here I was at the end of that driveway, sitting in my camp chair, having serious second thoughts. What if we wait a couple more months to hold a get-together What if we get to know a few folks first Anyway, I made the final decision.
Sarah rearranged bags of chips and popcorn in a basket she’d set out. “I hope we have enough,” she said. Olivia and Holly threw the beanbags to each other to pass the time. A week earlier, Sarah had designed the invitations, “Hello! We’re new to the neighborhood. The Miller Family. We’d love to meet you. Monday, July 5, anytime between 6 and 8 p. m. It would be great fun!”
Sarah and the girls had gone house to house, putting an invitation in their mailboxes on Whitney Drive, namely the Parkers, a single mother Sally with two kids and Mr. ing home, the kids excitedly talked about the Willsons’, an elderly couple they me t in the neighborhood, who seemed to be quite interested when they told them about the party.
However, we hadn’t heard a word since. I checked my watch. 6:10. Maybe I’d misjudged. Sarah also had her doubts obviously. “Would we look silly sitting all alone in our front yard ” she said. “What if no one shows up ” I put my arm around her and drew her close. “We have to have faith,” I said. Then I took two bottles from the cooler I’d stored with juice boxes and cold drinks. Sarah and I clinked (碰杯) them together. “To our new neighborhood,” I said.
