Zhang Zening, a hanfu supporter and lover in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu Province, started a surprising journey eight years ago to restore (使复原) this traditional Chinese clothing. Inspired by ancient murals (壁画), Zhang, 41, studied the artistry of hanfu in various museums, changing paintings into touchable and wearable pieces.
Upon graduating from college, Zhang first worked in material research, burying herself in the laboratory, conducting chemical experiments for the study of raw materials. At the time, she was one of the earliest lovers of hanfu in China, frequently organizing various hanfu activities in her spare time. Now as the owner of a hanfu studio, Zhang has worked with women’s re-employment organizations, looking for full-time stay-at-home women with sewing (缝纫) skills. This matched with her need for the production of hanfu.
Around 2015, Zhang began to focus independently on the process of hanfu restoration. In that year, she visited Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province where she was attracted by the beautiful murals there, wondering how she could possibly change them into beautiful costumes.
In the past years, she has traveled to more than 10 cities across China, constantly studying murals and conducting research to restore hanfu from different dynasties. She managed to restore more than 50 sets. She referred to different materials including various murals, other cultural relics and literature to make sure that the restoration is as correct as possible. Thanks to her work, many young people wear restored hanfu when they visit museums, and Zhang is excited to see more of them doing so.

When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie finished the day’s catch, he liked to settle into a wooden chair, thinking about his childhood. Back then, his life on Sierra Leone’s Nyangai Island seemed excellent. He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island’s white beaches. Whenever he wanted to avoid having to do. his housework, he could simply disappear into the forest that covered much of the island. He remembers as recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end.
Today, Nyangai is disappearing before his very eyes, covered by the endless sea. The forests are gone. And the land on which Charlie’s family home once stood, has long since disappeared beneath the waves.
In fact, the local government has responded to the sharp increase of sea level by building a concrete (混凝土制的) seawall along the length of the town. But in the many smaller coastal towns and villages in the area, there simply aren’t the resources. Then, the government made a project to protect some of the settlements by planting trees, but this has had limited success. With the population relying on woods for building and smoking-fish, few trees lived longer than the project, which ended in 2021.
Sierra Leone has been identified as one of the world’s most weak countries to the effects of climate change, despite having little influence on global CO2 emissions (排放). “Weak countries should be getting some support from wealthy nations to strengthen their climate defenses (防御),” says Gabriel Kpaka, the head of the country’s Meteorological Agency. “But we’re not really seeing that.”
With global sea level expected to rise by anywhere between 1 and 3 feet by the end of the century, along with an increase in extreme weather events, the experience of this West African island offers an understanding of the possible future of countless other low-lying areas around the world.
28. Why does the author tell Charlie’s story in paragraph 1
A. To describe his wonderful life at present. B. To offer-readers-background information
C. To call on local people to protect the seen D. To attract more visitors to Nyangai Island.
29 What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The reasons for the changes on the island. B. The rich natural species in coastal areas.
C. The measures taken to deal with rising sea level. D. The way to build a concrete seawall on the island.
30. What can be done to help Nyangai Island according to Kpaka
A. Local government should build a stronger seawall.
B. Local people on the island limit their CO2 emissions.
C. Countries in low-lying areas work together for their rights.
D. Rich countries should offer support about climate defenses.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of other low-lying areas
A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain. D. Positive.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】

【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie finished the day’s catch, he liked to settle into a wooden chair, thinking about his childhood. Back then, his life on Sierra Leone’s Nyangai Island seemed excellent. He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island’s white beaches. Whenever he wanted to avoid having to do. his housework, he could simply disappear into the forest that covered much of the island. He remembers as recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end. (当62岁的渔夫Kpana Charlie钓完了一天的鱼，他喜欢坐在木椅上，回忆他的童年。当时，他在塞拉利昂尼扬盖岛的生活似乎很美好。他和朋友们在岛上白色的沙滩上玩了无数个小时。每当他想要避免的时候。他的家务，他可以简单地消失在覆盖了大部分岛屿的森林里。他记得，就在十年前，它的首尾距离还在2300英尺左右。)”可推知，作者在第一段讲述查理的故事是为读者提供背景信息。故选B。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In fact, the local government has responded to the sharp increase of sea level by building a concrete (混凝土制的) seawall along the length of the town. But in the many smaller coastal towns and villages in the area, there simply aren’t the resources. Then, the government made a project to protect some of the settlements by planting trees, but this has had limited success. With the population relying on woods for building and smoking-fish, few trees lived longer than the project, which ended in 2021. (事实上，为了应对海平面的急剧上升，当地政府沿着整个城镇修建了一座混凝土海堤。但在该地区的许多较小的沿海城镇和村庄，根本没有资源。然后，政府制定了一个项目，通过植树来保护一些定居点，但收效甚微。由于人们依赖木材建筑和熏鱼，很少有树木的寿命比该项目更长，该项目于2021年结束。)”可知，第三段的主要内容是应对海平面上升所采取的措施。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Weak countries should be getting some support from wealthy nations to strengthen their climate defenses (防御),” says Gabriel Kpaka, the head of the country’s Meteorological Agency. (“弱国应该从富裕国家那里得到一些支持，以加强他们的气候防御，”该国气象局局长加布里埃尔·卡帕卡说。)”可知，Kpaka认为富裕国家应该提供气候防御方面的支持来帮助Nyangai岛。故选D。

(到本世纪末，全球海平面预计将上升1到3英尺，同时极端天气事件也会增加，这个西非岛屿的经历让我们了解了世界上无数其他低洼地区可能的未来。)”可推知，作者对其他低洼地区的未来持担忧态度。故选A。
D
Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot.
Iris Adam, a scientist at the University of Southern Denmark says, birds have “a drive to sing”. This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. However, singing can be dangerous. “As soon as you sing, you show yourself, for example, where you are and that you even exist—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators (捕食性动物) , for everybody,” she says.
In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk and whether the muscles (肌肉) that produce birdsong require daily exercise. Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches—little Australian songbirds. Her experiment included keeping male birds in the dark to sever the connection between their brains and-their singing muscles, which prevented them from singing.
After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half of their strength. Three weeks later, they were back to the same level when they were juveniles (幼鸟) and never had sung before. When Adam played one of the male’s songs for: a group of female birds, six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who had been using his singing muscles daily.
Adam’s conclusion (结论) is that songbirds need to exercise their singing muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, and their songs get less attractive to females, which is bad.
“What they stress is that you need a lot of practice to improve what you’re doing,” says Ana Amador, a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires. It’s a good rule to live by, whether you’re a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one’s heart out.
32. Why can singing be dangerous for birds
A. They can drive predators to sing. B. They never protect their areas.
C. Their singing can attract predators. D. Singing does damage to their muscles.
33. What does the underlined word “sever” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. Remember. B. End. C. Risk. D. Keep.
34. What do we know about Adam’s experiment
A. It mainly focused on male birds and juveniles.
B. It aimed to protect zebra finches from possible risks.
C. It strengthened birds’ singing muscles in four weeks.
D. It proved exercising singing muscles matters to birds.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Iris Adam’s work is a big success B. Singing can be dangerous for birds
C. Birds sing to keep muscles in shape D. Birds and human beings need practice
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了神经学家艾瑞斯·亚当对于为什么鸟唱得这么多歌的研究。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““As soon as you sing, you show yourself, for example, where you are and that you even exist—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators (捕食性动物) , for everybody,” she says. (她说：“只要你一唱歌，你就展示了你自己，例如，你在哪里，你甚至存在——所有这些都立即暴露在捕食者面前，暴露在所有人面前。”)”可知，歌唱对鸟类来说是危险的因为它们的歌声可以吸引捕食者。故选C。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the connection between their brains and-their singing muscles, which prevented them from singing”可知，实验把雄鸟关在黑暗中，结束它们大脑和唱歌肌肉之间的联系，这阻止了它们唱歌。故划线词意思是“结束”。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Adam’s conclusion (结论) is that songbirds need to exercise their singing muscles to produce top-performance song. (亚当的结论是，鸣禽需要锻炼它们的歌唱肌肉，才能唱出最好的歌曲。”可知，亚当的实验证明锻炼歌唱肌肉对鸟类很重要。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Adam’s conclusion (结论) is that songbirds need to exercise their singing muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, and their songs get less attractive to females, which is bad. (亚当的结论是，鸣禽需要锻炼它们的歌唱肌肉，才能唱出最好的歌曲。如果他们不唱歌，他们就会失去表演能力，他们的歌曲对女性的吸引力就会下降，这很糟糕。)”结合文章主要介绍了神经学家艾瑞斯·亚当对于为什么鸟唱得这么多歌的研究。可知，C选项“鸟唱歌是为了保持肌肉的形状”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【38题详解】
上文“Imagine all things in your home have a place where they live. For example, toys go into a basket when they’re not in use. (想象一下，你家里的所有东西都有一个他们居住的地方。例如，玩具不用时会放进篮子里)”指出所有东西要有自己的地方，空处承接上文，D项“如果是这样的话，整理你的家会更快”是对前面句子的顺承，符合语境。故选D项。
【39题详解】
空处作为小标题，应概括本段内容，下文第一句“Get up at the same time every day, preferably all seven days a week.A consistent (一致的) sleep schedule helps form your body’s circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). (每天在同一时间起床，最好一周七天都一样。一致的睡眠时间表有助于形成你身体的昼夜节律。)”是对小标题的进一步解释，B项“保持一致的睡眠时间表”跟主题内容一致，符合语境，同时a consistent sleep schedule是同词复现。故选B项。
【40题详解】
上文“You have the power not to agree to help everyone else with their problems.(你有权不同意帮助其他人解决他们的问题)”表明你可以向别人说“不”，空处承上启下，下文“Your time is just as valuable as everyone else’s.(你的时间和其他人的时间一样宝贵)”表明你自己的时间也很重要，要留给自己时间，C项“这样你就为自己腾出了很多时间”符合语境。故选C项。

In a small town, there lived a girl named Lily and her older brother, Alex. Lily had a dream to become a professional dancer, a dream which filled her life with both excitement and challenges. Alex, who had always been her role model, understood her passion more than anyone else.
While, growing up, Lily looked up to Alex. He was the star athlete of his high school, admired by many. But to Lily, he was more than that; he was her support system, always encouraging her to pursue (追求) her dream. However, Lily’s path to becoming a dancer was filled with difficulties. Financial limits and lack of resources in their small town were constant challenges.
As Lily entered high school, Alex noticed his sister’s struggles and knew he had to step in. He started by organizing dance workshops and fundraising events in their community. He spent his evenings helping Lily practice, turning their garage into a dance studio. His efforts brought the community together, and soon, Lily had a small but devoted group of supporters cheering her on.
With Alex’s help, Lily started to gain confidence. She improved her skills and began to participate in local dance competitions. Each time she performed, Alex was there in the front row, cheering the loudest. His strong belief in her fueled Lily’s determination to succeed.
As Lily’s senior year approached, a significant opportunity arose — a chance to compete in a national dance competition, with the prize being an entry into a famous dance academy. Lily signed up for it and practiced day and night for the competition. The night before the event, Lily felt extremely anxious. Alex stayed up with her, talking through her routines and reminding her of the strength and beauty in her movements. His words calmed Lily down and filled her with newfound confidence.

【答案】参考范文：
The day of the competition arrived. Lily, filled with a mix of nervousness and excitement, stepped onto the grand stage, the lights casting a spotlight on her. As Lily took the stage, she could see Alex in the audience and his face filled with pride. As the music started, Lily let the rhythm guide her, each move flowing gracefully and effortlessly. Her dance told a story of struggle and success, mirroring her own journey. The audience were attracted, hanging onto her every move. When her performance ended, the room erupted in applause.
Thanks to Alex, Lily’s dream was coming true. She not only won the competition but also got access to a top dance academy. Her hard work paid off. Lily knew that without Alex, her journey would have been much harder. Alex had sacrificed his time and energy to help his sister reach her potential. He had been her protector, her mentor, and her biggest fan. As they celebrated the hard-won victory, they both realized that their strong relationship was their greatest strength.

Upon graduating from college, Zhang first worked in material research, burying herself in the laboratory, conducting chemical experiments for the study of raw materials. At the time, she was one of the earliest lovers of hanfu in China, frequently organizing various hanfu activities in her spare time. Now as the owner of a hanfu studio, Zhang has worked with women’s re-employment organizations, looking for full-time stay-at-home women with sewing (缝纫) skills. This matched with her need for the production of hanfu.
Around 2015, Zhang began to focus independently on the process of hanfu restoration. In that year, she visited Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province where she was attracted by the beautiful murals there, wondering how she could possibly change them into beautiful costumes.
In the past years, she has traveled to more than 10 cities across China, constantly studying murals and conducting research to restore hanfu from different dynasties. She managed to restore more than 50 sets. She referred to different materials including various murals, other cultural relics and literature to make sure that the restoration is as correct as possible. Thanks to her work, many young people wear restored hanfu when they visit museums, and Zhang is excited to see more of them doing so.

When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie finished the day’s catch, he liked to settle into a wooden chair, thinking about his childhood. Back then, his life on Sierra Leone’s Nyangai Island seemed excellent. He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island’s white beaches. Whenever he wanted to avoid having to do. his housework, he could simply disappear into the forest that covered much of the island. He remembers as recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end.
Today, Nyangai is disappearing before his very eyes, covered by the endless sea. The forests are gone. And the land on which Charlie’s family home once stood, has long since disappeared beneath the waves.
In fact, the local government has responded to the sharp increase of sea level by building a concrete (混凝土制的) seawall along the length of the town. But in the many smaller coastal towns and villages in the area, there simply aren’t the resources. Then, the government made a project to protect some of the settlements by planting trees, but this has had limited success. With the population relying on woods for building and smoking-fish, few trees lived longer than the project, which ended in 2021.
Sierra Leone has been identified as one of the world’s most weak countries to the effects of climate change, despite having little influence on global CO2 emissions (排放). “Weak countries should be getting some support from wealthy nations to strengthen their climate defenses (防御),” says Gabriel Kpaka, the head of the country’s Meteorological Agency. “But we’re not really seeing that.”
With global sea level expected to rise by anywhere between 1 and 3 feet by the end of the century, along with an increase in extreme weather events, the experience of this West African island offers an understanding of the possible future of countless other low-lying areas around the world.
28. Why does the author tell Charlie’s story in paragraph 1
A. To describe his wonderful life at present. B. To offer-readers-background information
C. To call on local people to protect the seen D. To attract more visitors to Nyangai Island.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The reasons for the changes on the island. B. The rich natural species in coastal areas.
C. The measures taken to deal with rising sea level. D. The way to build a concrete seawall on the island.
30. What can be done to help Nyangai Island according to Kpaka
A. Local government should build a stronger seawall.
B. Local people on the island limit their CO2 emissions.
C. Countries in low-lying areas work together for their rights.
D. Rich countries should offer support about climate defenses.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of other low-lying areas
A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain. D. Positive.
D
Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot.
Iris Adam, a scientist at the University of Southern Denmark says, birds have “a drive to sing”. This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. However, singing can be dangerous. “As soon as you sing, you show yourself, for example, where you are and that you even exist—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators (捕食性动物) , for everybody,” she says.
In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk and whether the muscles (肌肉) that produce birdsong require daily exercise. Adam designed an experiment on zebra finches—little Australian songbirds. Her experiment included keeping male birds in the dark to sever the connection between their brains and-their singing muscles, which prevented them from singing.
After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half of their strength. Three weeks later, they were back to the same level when they were juveniles (幼鸟) and never had sung before. When Adam played one of the male’s songs for: a group of female birds, six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who had been using his singing muscles daily.
Adam’s conclusion (结论) is that songbirds need to exercise their singing muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, and their songs get less attractive to females, which is bad.
“What they stress is that you need a lot of practice to improve what you’re doing,” says Ana Amador, a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires. It’s a good rule to live by, whether you’re a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one’s heart out.
32. Why can singing be dangerous for birds
A. They can drive predators to sing. B. They never protect their areas.
C. Their singing can attract predators. D. Singing does damage to their muscles.
33. What does the underlined word “sever” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. Remember. B. End. C. Risk. D. Keep.
34. What do we know about Adam’s experiment
A. It mainly focused on male birds and juveniles.
B. It aimed to protect zebra finches from possible risks.
C. It strengthened birds’ singing muscles in four weeks.
D. It proved exercising singing muscles matters to birds.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Iris Adam’s work is a big success B. Singing can be dangerous for birds
C. Birds sing to keep muscles in shape D. Birds and human beings need practice

In a small town, there lived a girl named Lily and her older brother, Alex. Lily had a dream to become a professional dancer, a dream which filled her life with both excitement and challenges. Alex, who had always been her role model, understood her passion more than anyone else.
While, growing up, Lily looked up to Alex. He was the star athlete of his high school, admired by many. But to Lily, he was more than that; he was her support system, always encouraging her to pursue (追求) her dream. However, Lily’s path to becoming a dancer was filled with difficulties. Financial limits and lack of resources in their small town were constant challenges.
As Lily entered high school, Alex noticed his sister’s struggles and knew he had to step in. He started by organizing dance workshops and fundraising events in their community. He spent his evenings helping Lily practice, turning their garage into a dance studio. His efforts brought the community together, and soon, Lily had a small but devoted group of supporters cheering her on.
With Alex’s help, Lily started to gain confidence. She improved her skills and began to participate in local dance competitions. Each time she performed, Alex was there in the front row, cheering the loudest. His strong belief in her fueled Lily’s determination to succeed.
As Lily’s senior year approached, a significant opportunity arose — a chance to compete in a national dance competition, with the prize being an entry into a famous dance academy. Lily signed up for it and practiced day and night for the competition. The night before the event, Lily felt extremely anxious. Alex stayed up with her, talking through her routines and reminding her of the strength and beauty in her movements. His words calmed Lily down and filled her with newfound confidence.
