In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients—Brave Barbie—a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald（光头的）Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo（化疗）, or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again’.”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.
24. Why did Handler create Barbie
A. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C. To do a project on women’s career choices.
D. To make a hit in the retail market.
25. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie
A. Envious yet proud. B. Sad yet comforted.
C. Overwhelmed and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful.
26. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family
A. A secret medium of negotiation. B. A glue for broken relationships.
C. An effective practical treatment. D. A reliable emotional support.
27. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A financial journal. B. A charity brochure.
C. A story collection. D. A medical report.

The concept of “Smart Asian Games” is deeply rooted in all aspects of preparations for Hangzhou Asian Games. Zhejiang promotes the intelligent level of Hangzhou Asian Cames with advanced technologies, and strives to present a spectacular event.
The intelligent operation & maintenance platform makes venue（场馆）management more elaborate.

Smart robots offer more efficient services. At Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium, smart robots can provide venue guides, event explanation, question answering and other services for audiences, and can also start the automatic patrol（巡逻）function. Moreover, the intelligent monitoring system of each venue can detect faults and inform relevant personnel on time for handling.

On the external road of Shaoxing Baseball & Softball Sports Centre, the self-driving bus decorated with Hangzhou Asian Games element patterns shuttles among Asian Games venues to facilitate the travel of audiences. Passengers can also enhance the watching experience by adjusting the interior lighting and temperature on the intelligent screen of the vehicle.

Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman builders built thick concrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders constructed walls against foreign enemies.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials since a long time ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials cam have the ability to get stronger over time. Figuring out how to copy these features can have real impacts today. While some of our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannot compete with the durability of these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned to the Romans. Starting around 200 BC, the Roman Empire was building concrete structures that have stood the test of time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago. They think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. That the ancient materials have an unusual power to restore themselves when they form is the most shocking for them. Exactly how is not yet clear, but scientists are starting to find the reasons.
Today’s builders cannot just copy the ancient processes. Even though Roman concrete survived from earlier times, it couldn’t hold up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying to take some of the ancient materials and add them into modern mixes. People don’t need to make things last quite as long as the Romans did. If we add 50 or 100 years to concrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling down, less maintenance and less material in the long run.
32. What were the mentioned Roman and Chinese buildings both used for
A. Seawater control. B. Travel. C. Soldier training. D. Defence.
33. Which word can best describe the ancient buildings
A. Thick. B. Delicate. C. Long-lasting. D. Heavy
34. What surprises the scientists most about the ancient building materials
A. Their self-repairing ability. B. Their clear concrete.
C. Their internal structures. D. Their large cracks.
35. What is the author’s attitude to the future concrete
A. Tolerant. B. Suspicious. C. Expectant. D. Indifferent.

书面表达
One possible version:
World Environment Day falls on June 5th. I believe we can organize two activities to celebrate the day.
First, we can organize a bird feeder building activity, where students can use recycled materials to build different kinds of bird feeders. It can not only stimulate students’ creativity but also give them a chance to observe birds’ behavior later. Secondly, we can make a garden on our campus. Students can grow vegetables and get involved in the whole process of plant growth, from seed to harvest. Students will gain hands-on experience, learn to respect others labor and reduce food waste.
All in all, both activities are practicable and fun, which undoubtedly will appeal to students and help raise their environmental awareness.
