阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Leather-making in Florence dates back hundreds of years to the 13th century. A look at leather craftsmen in Florence will help you know more about Italian leather.
The leather factory-PIEROTUCCI
Join a free tour of the factory and you’ll get a deep dive into the process of making a handbag. After seeing what it takes to make a bag by hand, you’ll no longer wonder why PIEROTUCCI prices come with two zeros at the end. And you’ll know that if you do spend the money, the bag will last forever.
The leather shoe store—STEFANO BEMER
STEFANO BEMER was famous for its hand-tailored shoes. The elegant store that sells shoes that cost hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of dollars is also where trainees learn their skills: visible in the front section of the store.
The leather school—Scuola del Cuoio
Walking into the courtyard of the Scuola del Cuoio feels a little like walking onto a mini college campus. You leave the busy street as you enter the historic building. The school specializes in making one-of-a-kind bags and in teaching paying students the secrets of high-quality leather working.
The bookbinding (书籍装订) store——Il Torchio
Il Torchio is a beautiful bookbinding store run by Erin Ciulla. If you ask Ciulla, she might take you to see the “guillotine”, which is actually a very large, antique-looking machine that’s used to cut large amounts of paper. Beyond binding with leather covers,Ciulla also covers books, journals, and photo albums in hand-made papers.
21. What is the main reason for Pierotucci’s high price
A. The special material. B. The handmade process.

"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. "If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked(搭便车)to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that in most cases big stations couldn't risk hiring inexperienced person. "Go out in the remote areas and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said. I went back home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me.
But I wasn't hired. My disappointment must have shown. "Everything happens for the best," Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over(沸溢,发怒). I asked aloud, "How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station " I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, "What was that you said about sports Do you know anything about football " Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute boost to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother's words: "If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment".
24. The reason why the author wasn’t hired in Chicago was probably that____
A. he showed no confidence at the stations
B. there were no job available at the stations
C. he had no experience in radio broadcasting
D. there were too many people competing with him
25. We learn from the passage that ____
A. the frustration of the author prevented him from performing well at WOC Radio
B. both of the author’s parents showed support when he was trying to search for a job
C. Peter MacArthur recognize the author’s talent in broadcasting after reading his resume.
D. the author lost all his hope and courage when he was turned down by Montgomery Ward
26. What was most likely the author’s attitude towards Peter MacArthur?
A. He was worried that Peter wouldn’t believe in his ability
B. He was afraid that his loud inner clam would annoy Peter
C. He was angry that Peter didn’t offer him a satisfying potential
D. He was grateful that Peter could notice his broadcasting potential
27. What lesson can you learn from the author’s experience in the passage
A. Well begun is half done B. Prevention is better than cure
C. No cross, no crown D. Rome was not built in a day
C
Usnin Bolt burned about 10kcal of energy to win his gold during the 200 metre spring final at the Olympic Games, which could roughly power an old 60W light bulb for 11 minutes. If you could make use of all the power generated by all the athletes during the Games, you would still be nowhere close to reaching the 29.5 billion Watts consumed overall by the athletes, spectators and organizers over the event. We take sport for granted, but do we ever consider its cost to the planet
From the water required to maintain the golf course during The Masters tournament to the hundreds of flights it takes to bring football fans to a World Cup, major sports events are not helping much in the fight against global heating. What's more, there is a lack of recognition within sport of its responsibilities and little discussion about possible solutions.
This is strange given that the effect works both ways: the climate crisis is not just affected by sports, but it is already having a negative impact on many sports. When ice-climber Will Gadd set out to conquer the world's glaciers, he didn't realize it would become a race against climate change. “I thought glaciers are there forever.” When he arrived at the summit, Gadd was shocked:“The ice……wasn't there. The things I planned to climb were gone.”
Global heating is noticeable in other sports. Amy Steel played professional net ball until she suffered from heatstroke after playing in 39℃ conditions and unfortunately, the damage was permanent. Not only that, but extreme weather events made more frequent as a result of global heating mean sporting event s are more often delayed or canceled. This has cost sport billions in potential earnings.
Yet sport can be a powerful motivator: it can unite whole nations behind its teams. Could sport have a role to play in driving climate awareness Will Gadd and Amy Steel are among many athletes who think so. One thing is certain. Sport must put climate change at the top of its agenda and decarbonize at a Usain Bolt-like pace to make a difference.
28. What is the main focus of the first paragraph
A. Why do sports events consume energy
B. How much power do athletes generate
C. What is the energy impact of sports events
D. How did Bolt contribute to the environment
29. Why does the writer use Will Gadd and Amy Steel as examples
A. They initiated eco-friendly sports practices.
B. They sustained permanent injuries in sports.
C. They fell victim to climate-related incidents.
D. They achieved record-breaking performances.
30. What effect of global heating on sports is mentioned in the text
A. Stricter facility restrictions. B. Substantial financial losses.
C. Higher athlete training standards. D. Prolonged outdoor sports seasons.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text .
A. Sports in the Climate Crisis
B. Athletes against Global Heating
C. The Impact of Climate Change on Sport
D. The Environmental Cost of Outdoor Sports
D
A lot of manufactured glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠)can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn't break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an Eco-conscious alternative.
In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable (可生物降解的)glass made from amino acids(氨基酸).That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.
In a test, glass beads(玻璃珠)made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice, and the breakdown of the beads and the skin healing process were observed for 30 days. A diagram from the study showed how the mice's bodies broke down the beads. In that month, the glass implant degraded beneath the skin, the wound site recovered, and fur grew back. “Throughout the experimental period, no mice exhibited any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss," the researchers wrote in their paper.
Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable glass is noted durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in high temperature. In order to overcome this hurdle, the researchers chemically improved the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass manufacturing. This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher.
“It's important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage,and far from large-scale commercialization,"emphasized Yan Xuehai,a professor involved in the study, in a press release.
32.What is an advantage of the new glass
A.It takes less time to break down. B.It can be recycled at a lower cost.
C.It has a wider range of applications. D.It can be produced on a larger scale.
33.Why did researchers implant glass beads inside mice
A.To investigate why amino acids are medically useful.
B.To assess whether the glass is biologically harmless.
C.To explore how long it takes for the glass to degrade.
D.To observe if the glass can be melt down in mice's stomach.
34.What does the underlined word“hurdle”in paragraph 4 refer to
A.The difficulty of selecting materials for the glass.
B.The challenge of improving glass manufacturing.
C.The instability of amino acids in high temperature.
D.The environmental problems caused by amino acids.
35.Which can be the best title for the text
A.Biodegradable Glass:Closer to Sustainability
B.Biodegradable Glass:Ready to Hit the Market
C.Amino Acids Lower Costs of Glass Manufacturing
D.Amino Acids Cast New Light on Glass Application

How Weather Influences Our Mood
The weather supplies many metaphors (隐喻) for our changeable minds. Moods can brighten and darken, futures can be under a cloud, and relationships can be stormy. 36 , but does it also influence our moods
Of the many aspects of weather, sunshine is the most closely tied to mood. Although the link is weaker than many people imagine, sunlight has repeatedly been found to increase positive moods and reduce tiredness.37 .Happy people tend to be more favorable toward one another, and people are more helpful when the sun is shining. One study even found that diners in Minnesota,US, tipped more generously on sunny days.
38 . A study showed that university admissions officers stressed the academic qualifications of applicants more on cloudy days, and their non-academic qualities more on sunny ones.
39 .The more it departs (偏离) from an ideal of around 20℃, the more discomfort we feel One study found that rates of helping others decreased as temperatures dropped below or rose above this value.
Indeed, the effects of weather on mood depend on our behavior and on how we think. 40 . A study by US psychology researcher Matthew Keller and his colleagues showed that beneficial effects of warm and sunny conditions on mood were only seen in people who had spent more than 30 minutes outdoors that day. Good weather even had negative effects on mood for people confined (限制) indoors,who perhaps looked enviously (嫉妒地) outside at the solar fun they were missing.
A. Similarly, grey weather may encourage serious and calm thinking.
B. Aspects of weather beyond heat and sunshine have also been shown to affect mood
C. Weather provides a vivid language for describing our emotional atmosphere
D. Temperature can also affect our mind and behavior
E. But the effects of weather on mood are not entirely biological
F. Anything that changes our moods can affect our behavior
G. Basically, weather will only influence us if we are outdoors experiencing it

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
What my father wore embarrassed me! I wanted him to dress like a doctor or lawyer, but he always dressed like my father, getting up before dawn every day to make breakfast for my mother and me.
We lived in South Texas, where my father worked as a repairman. He often wore a pair of jeans and a shirt, keeping his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. His boots were those with steel toes that made them difficult to pull off his feet, which I sometimes helped him with when he returned from repairing cars - his job that also shamed me.
I blamed the way he dressed. I felt that my classmates laughed at me because they’d seen him mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in cut-off jeans and black boots. My classmates’ families paid men to beautify their lawns, while their fathers travelled in the bay wearing lemon-yellow sweaters and expensive shoes.
He preferred clothes that allowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the campsite, all students on the bus happily chatted with their parents except me, who lowered the head, avoiding spotting my classmates’ mocking glance (讥笑的眼光) or hearing their jokes, which I thought was about nothing else but what my father wore.
I regretted telling my parents the school trip, and I was very angry why my mother had no spare time while my father happened to have a vacation. But my father failed to read my mind. He was very happy, whistling a tune along the way.
Though my father didn’t sense my bad mood, the school bus seemed as sad as I was. It drove more and more slowly and finally it stopped on the roadside. The driver got out to check the bus but found nothing wrong. Students and parents on the bus began to whisper about what was happening, worried that the delay might spoil the journey.

第一节:
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m greatly honored to stand here delivering a speech themed“Technology and Lifestyles”.
As we all know, technology has become an indispensable part of our lives, revolutionizing the way we live, work, and interact with one another. For example, the invention of smartphones has dramatically changed communication by allowing us to connect with others instantly regardless of geographical boundaries.Online shopping has reshaped the way we shop, eliminating the need to visit physical stores and saving us much valuable time.
Given the significant changes caused by technology in our lives, it is crucial that we maintain a positive and proactive approach towards it, embracing its potential to improve different aspects of our daily lives.
第二节:
When others were complaining, my father stood up. Curiously, I looked up, wondering what he was going to do, afraid that he would do something further embarrassing me and making a fool of himself. And the next moment, he was beside the driver, explaining that he was a repairman, who could probably offer some help. Before I could do something to stop him, he had already taken out the wrenches out of his breast pocket, put on his glasses and laid himself under the bus. With so many curious eyes watching him, he checked here and there with his expertise, figured out where the problem lay and instantly had it fixed. Making sure that the bus was back in good condition, he crawled out, rose and dusted his cut-off jeans, with smiles written on his face.
The school bus restarted and everyone cheered. The moment Dad got on the bus, thunderous applause erupted from every corner of the bus, signaling their appreciation for my Dad’s timely assistance and admiration for my Dad’s professional skills. The girl next to me even gave me a thumb-up, her eyes glistening with admiration. At this moment, I felt a wave of pride in my dad surging through my body. The dirty dots on his jeans somehow became beautiful flowers in my eyes and the man who I had always thought embarrassed me transformed into my pride and superman. More importantly, I learned an important lesson: A person deserves our respect and admiration not because he dresses like a lawyer, a doctor or a repairman, but because he has a willing heart, always ready to reach out.
