Four students at the University of Hefei, in eastern China, recently proved that you don’t have to spend a small fortune on a designer dress to look amazing. You can make it yourself, for free, using only plant leaves. Photos of the amazing leaf dress have been doing the rounds on Chinese social media for about a week, and people still can’t stop praising them.
The team behind the unique dress — two girls and two boys — got the idea for it over six months ago, while trying to come up with an interesting project for the annual “Animal and Plant Specimen Contest” at the University of Hefei. During that time, the girls couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous the dress worn by Chinese actress at the Cannes Festival looked, and one of them suggested they try to recreate it out of plant leaves. They ran the idea by their teacher, and even though he considered it difficult to pull off, they went with it anyway.
After researching the best way to use plant leaves as fabric (织物), and coming up with a design for their dress, the four students started collecting the leaves. Some species were readily available on campus, but others were not, so they had to travel to Tianzhu Mountain to collect them.
To ensure that the collected leaves didn’t rot, the students removed the flesh (叶肉) by boiling them in specially prepared mixtures for about two hours. This made the flesh easier peeled away, leaving only the “skeleton” of the leaf.
This was much harder than it sounds, as the four students struggled to get the proper amount of the mixtures and the boiling time just right, to ensure that the flesh could be easily removed without damaging the skeleton of the leaf. Through trial and error, and with their teacher’s guidance they were able to come up with a perfect formula (配方).
The four science and biotechnology students could only work on their special dress after classes and on weekends, so it took them nearly four months to complete. That’s a pretty long time, but it all paid off when one of the girls got to finally put on the leaf dress and show it off to everyone. They posted photos of it, at various stages, online, and it became popular almost instantly.
24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph about the leaf dress
A. It was highly spoken of. B. It was sold at a high price.
C. It was comfortable to wear. D. It was finished in seven days.
25. Where did the four students get their inspiration
A. From the teacher. B. From a dress at the Cannes Festival.
C. From people online. D. From “Animal and Plant Specimen Contest”.
26. How was the process of making the dress
A. Hard but rewarding. B. Complex and painful.
C. Smooth and successful. D. Easy but time-consuming.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. What can dresses be made of
B. A perfect formula for dresses
C. A dress made of leaves got popular
D. Four university students’ road to success
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. C

When I was a teenager, I had a love for buying vinyl LPs (黑胶唱片). I saved money from my part-time jobs and spent hours in record stores for many years. Thus, I kept a large collection of records.
In my high school days, when the days of record stores were over, my friend Beaner, my brother and I would visit pawnshops and other possible places to see if there were any albums (唱片), doing what is called record digging.
Record digging means spending hours searching through warehouses, church basements and yard sales. When you’re digging for records, you’re surrounded by music you don’t know. Therefore, you imagine the thousands of artists who were destined to be legends but for various reasons, were just ignored. Many of these records only exist in a handful of copies. Some have never even been found or heard.
Once a friend told me about a band called Black Citron from Switzerland in the late 80s, and then I started looking out for their albums. And then a couple of months later, I managed to score a copy. It was really love at first sight when I put the needle on. Now I am still wondering who were in this band and what their names were.
I assume most people who go digging for records hope that they’re going to find something, pay two dollars for it, and then turn around and sell it for $ 100. But I want to connect with the artist, if the artist is still alive, and to find out more about the context. When I hold a record in my hands, I can kind of have a feeling of who were the people behind it.
28. What did the author, his friend and his brother look for together
A. Old music albums.
B. Part-time job opportunities.
C. Second-hand goods for daily use.
D. Recorded information of legend bands.
29. What can be learned from paragraph 3
A. What record digging is like.
B. Why many artists are ignored.
C. Where the author usually played.
D. How one’s imagination is inspired.
30. What does the underlined word “score“ in paragraph 4 mean
A. Produce. B. Sell. C. Print. D. Obtain.
31. What does the author think of record digging
A. It’s confusing.
B. It satisfies his curiosity.
C. It’s a means to make money.
D. It gives him inspiration about life.

【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“Once a friend told me about a band called Black Citron from Switzerland in the late 80s, and then I started looking out for their albums.(有一次一个朋友告诉我80年代末来自瑞士的一个叫Black Citron的乐队，然后我开始关注他们的唱片)”和“It was really love at first sight when I put the needle on.(当我把针扎上去的时候，我真的是一见钟情)”可知，作者得到了一张唱片。由此可知，划线词score的意思是“得到”，和obtain意思相近。故选D。
【31题详解】

I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began — it’s something that’s always been there, even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go. I grew up in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea, but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (锚) in my life and in my writing.
The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I travelled there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking in the forests.
I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water. Behind me, the trees of this largely untouched wilderness emerged. Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky shore. It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area — it felt ancient, and it was impossible not to be humbled.
With a guide for safety, I hiked a few miles through the wilderness. The sounds of the forest were everywhere. Birds sang. Insects buzzed. Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible signal, my guide relaxed, and we went on.
We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breath-taking view I’ve ever seen. From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground — of shifting emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear — that’s fed my writing across four books, none more so than Children of the Sun, and implanted in me a lifelong love of the wild.
32. What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Stimulated. B. Ended. C. Supported. D. Proved.
33. What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” convey in paragraph 3
A. I was awed by the powerful nature. B. I became modest after my 21st birthday.
C. I was attracted by the history of the area. D. I got curious about the secrets of the forest.
34. Which word can best describe the guide
A. Conservative. B. Considerate. C. Practiced. D. Indecisive.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The passion for nature. B. The feature of 4 books.
C. An unforgettable travel experience. D. A vivid description of mixed emotions.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者20岁时独自去大熊雨林旅行的经历，讲述了旅行中的所见所闻。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“my lack of scientific talent quickly”以及后文“but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (锚) in my life and in my writing.”可知，but表示转折，说明作者缺乏科学天赋，很快结束了这个想法，但对大自然的热爱仍然存在，并一直是生活和写作的支柱。故划线词意思是“结束”。故选B。
【33题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第三段“It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area — it felt ancient, and it was impossible not to be humbled. (似乎没有办法进去。这片荒野封闭着它的秘密。从海滩走进森林，我立刻感受到这个地区的历史——它给人一种古老的感觉，不可能不感到谦卑)”以及最后一段“From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground — of shifting emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear (正是这种不安的感觉——不断变化的情感、秘密与敬畏、美丽与恐惧)”可推知，第3段中的“不可能不感到谦卑”意思是“我对大自然的强大感到敬畏”。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible signal, my guide relaxed, and we went on. (有个更大的东西穿过灌木丛，我的向导突然停了下来。听着。我的心都提到嗓子眼儿了。然后，在一些看不见的信号之后，我的向导放松了下来，我们继续前进)”可推知，导游从一开始看到更大的东西停下来，到后来看到信号之后放松了下来，说明他很有经验。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I travelled there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking in the forests. (大熊雨林广阔、壮丽、野生，但也友好、有趣、多样。我在20岁的时候独自去那里旅行，计划在我21岁生日的时候去露营，在森林里徒步旅行)”结合文章主要讲述了作者20岁时独自去大熊雨林旅行的经历，讲述了旅行中的所见所闻。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是一次难忘的旅行经历。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何降低成本，提高生活质量的几点建议。
【36题详解】
根据本空前的“But for many graduates or those who have worked for only one or two years, your income cannot keep pace with expense.”可知，但对于许多毕业生或那些只工作了一两年的人来说，你的收入赶不上支出，下文又介绍了几点建议，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，故C项（那么，我们怎样才能节省一些钱，提高生活质量呢？）符合语境。
【37题详解】
根据本空前的“Running in a park regularly or doing yoga at home using free online resources is definitely a type of quality life.”可知，在公园跑步或在家做瑜伽，使用免费的在线资源，绝对是一种高质量的生活，故G项（锻炼比在昂贵的健身俱乐部里持有会员卡更有价值）符合语境。
【38题详解】
根据本空前的“Chasing young good-looking stars, watching their films and buying expensive tickets for their concerts are popular with many young people.”可知，追求年轻漂亮的明星，看他们的电影，为他们的音乐会买昂贵的门票，这些都很受年轻人的欢迎，此处讲的是这些做法的不利影响，故F项（然而，这将无助于丰富你的精神生活，而且还增加经济负担）符合语境。
【39题详解】
此处为本段标题，根据本段内容，特别是第一句“For some young people, the easy and instant access and the discount codes of online shopping make it an addictive draw.”可知，本段主要讲的是过度地在线购物不利于我们节省开支，故A项（停止在网上过度消费）符合语境。
【40题详解】
此处为本段主题句，根据空后内容可知，本段讲的是高质量的生活与金钱和自律的关系，故E项（要过有质量的生活，需要的是自律而不是金钱）符合语境。
【点睛】过渡句的考查是七选五的常见考点，这个考查点通常在第一段的最后一两句设空，这是由方法建议类七选五的文体特点决定的，被选选项一定要起到承上启下的过渡作用，既要对应上文，又要引出下文的方法或建议，例如本篇第1题，根据本空前的“But for many graduates or those who have worked for only one or two years, your income cannot keep pace with expense.”可知，但对于许多毕业生或那些只工作了一两年的人来说，你的收入赶不上支出，再根据空后的“Here’s how:”及下文的建议可知，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，C项（那么，我们怎样才能节省一些钱，提高生活质量呢？）既对应了上文提到的收入赶不上支出这个话题，又引出了下文节省开支，提高生活质量的几点建议。

Four students at the University of Hefei, in eastern China, recently proved that you don’t have to spend a small fortune on a designer dress to look amazing. You can make it yourself, for free, using only plant leaves. Photos of the amazing leaf dress have been doing the rounds on Chinese social media for about a week, and people still can’t stop praising them.
The team behind the unique dress — two girls and two boys — got the idea for it over six months ago, while trying to come up with an interesting project for the annual “Animal and Plant Specimen Contest” at the University of Hefei. During that time, the girls couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous the dress worn by Chinese actress at the Cannes Festival looked, and one of them suggested they try to recreate it out of plant leaves. They ran the idea by their teacher, and even though he considered it difficult to pull off, they went with it anyway.
After researching the best way to use plant leaves as fabric (织物), and coming up with a design for their dress, the four students started collecting the leaves. Some species were readily available on campus, but others were not, so they had to travel to Tianzhu Mountain to collect them.
To ensure that the collected leaves didn’t rot, the students removed the flesh (叶肉) by boiling them in specially prepared mixtures for about two hours. This made the flesh easier peeled away, leaving only the “skeleton” of the leaf.
This was much harder than it sounds, as the four students struggled to get the proper amount of the mixtures and the boiling time just right, to ensure that the flesh could be easily removed without damaging the skeleton of the leaf. Through trial and error, and with their teacher’s guidance they were able to come up with a perfect formula (配方).
The four science and biotechnology students could only work on their special dress after classes and on weekends, so it took them nearly four months to complete. That’s a pretty long time, but it all paid off when one of the girls got to finally put on the leaf dress and show it off to everyone. They posted photos of it, at various stages, online, and it became popular almost instantly.
24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph about the leaf dress
A. It was highly spoken of. B. It was sold at a high price.
C. It was comfortable to wear. D. It was finished in seven days.
25. Where did the four students get their inspiration

When I was a teenager, I had a love for buying vinyl LPs (黑胶唱片). I saved money from my part-time jobs and spent hours in record stores for many years. Thus, I kept a large collection of records.
In my high school days, when the days of record stores were over, my friend Beaner, my brother and I would visit pawnshops and other possible places to see if there were any albums (唱片), doing what is called record digging.
Record digging means spending hours searching through warehouses, church basements and yard sales. When you’re digging for records, you’re surrounded by music you don’t know. Therefore, you imagine the thousands of artists who were destined to be legends but for various reasons, were just ignored. Many of these records only exist in a handful of copies. Some have never even been found or heard.
Once a friend told me about a band called Black Citron from Switzerland in the late 80s, and then I started looking out for their albums. And then a couple of months later, I managed to score a copy. It was really love at first sight when I put the needle on. Now I am still wondering who were in this band and what their names were.
I assume most people who go digging for records hope that they’re going to find something, pay two dollars for it, and then turn around and sell it for $ 100. But I want to connect with the artist, if the artist is still alive, and to find out more about the context. When I hold a record in my hands, I can kind of have a feeling of who were the people behind it.
28. What did the author, his friend and his brother look for together
A. Old music albums.
B. Part-time job opportunities.
C. Second-hand goods for daily use.
D. Recorded information of legend bands.
29. What can be learned from paragraph 3
A. What record digging is like.
B. Why many artists are ignored.
C. Where the author usually played.
D. How one’s imagination is inspired.
30. What does the underlined word “score“ in paragraph 4 mean
A. Produce. B. Sell. C. Print. D. Obtain.
31. What does the author think of record digging
A. It’s confusing.
B. It satisfies his curiosity.
C. It’s a means to make money.
D. It gives him inspiration about life.

I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began — it’s something that’s always been there, even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go. I grew up in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea, but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (锚) in my life and in my writing.
The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I travelled there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking in the forests.
I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water. Behind me, the trees of this largely untouched wilderness emerged. Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky shore. It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area — it felt ancient, and it was impossible not to be humbled.
With a guide for safety, I hiked a few miles through the wilderness. The sounds of the forest were everywhere. Birds sang. Insects buzzed. Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible signal, my guide relaxed, and we went on.
We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breath-taking view I’ve ever seen. From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground — of shifting emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear — that’s fed my writing across four books, none more so than Children of the Sun, and implanted in me a lifelong love of the wild.
32. What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Stimulated. B. Ended. C. Supported. D. Proved.
33. What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” convey in paragraph 3
A. I was awed by the powerful nature. B. I became modest after my 21st birthday.
C. I was attracted by the history of the area. D. I got curious about the secrets of the forest.
34. Which word can best describe the guide
A. Conservative. B. Considerate. C. Practiced. D. Indecisive.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The passion for nature. B. The feature of 4 books.
C. An unforgettable travel experience. D. A vivid description of mixed emotions.
