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.
24．What can we learn about Zhang Zening according to paragraph 1
A．She longed to be a scientist. B．She was addicted to traveling widely.
C．She was fond of Chinese traditional art. D．She enjoyed watching museum visitors.
25．Why does Zhang work with some organizations
A．To help the companies in trouble. B．To reduce employment pressure.
C．To increase her business influence. D．To recover traditional Chinese clothing.
26．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Dunhuang
A．To explain how hard Zhang works.
B．To show the start of Zhang’s independent hanfu restoration work.
C．To promote various Dunhuang’s artworks.
D．To introduce Zhang’s rich travel experiences.
27．Which of the following best describes Zhang’s restoration work
A．Effective. B．Short-lasting. C．Dangerous. D．Costly.
C
Rain-forests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush（灌木丛） in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rain-forests are the lungs of the planet—storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rain-forests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层） of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants’ way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rain-forests for nothing! Rain-forests can generate 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal—and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain—your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won’t keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity （湿气） of large rain-forests contributes to the formation of rain-clouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
28．What can we learn about rain-forests from the first paragraph
A．They cover a vast area. B．They produce oxygen.
C．They are well managed. D．They are rich in wildlife.
29．Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rain-forests
A．Small plants. B．Big trees. C．Heavy rains. D．Forest animals.
30．Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other
A．For more sunlight. B．For the detection of insects.
C．For self-protection. D．For more growing space.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Life-Giving Rain-forests B．Animals in the Amazon
C．Weather in Rain-forests D．The Law of Jungle
D
In what’s believed to be a first London’s Imperial College Business School is using holographic technology（全息技术） to present lectures to students. From California a product manager was beamed onto a stage like magic. The head of Imperial’s EdTech Lab says, this presents a window to the world. Through holograms（全息图） we can bring in lectures from across the globe, and they can appear in front of our students in a realistic manner. That’s the key.
The developer of the technique explains how it works. “We are presenting a 2D image as a 3D image, and the iris（虹膜） is flat so we see everything in 2D. Our brain changes it to 3D .We’re doing exactly the same trick. We’re presenting a 2D image but with depth of field and a really good vision. My brain just changes it to a 3D image.” Attendees say there are many ways this tool can help educators and students.
The second thing we could do with that is having CEOs coming to the classroom, and engaging with students. And the third way probably is maybe to have Albert Einstein coming to the classroom. There might be a long wait for that. Meanwhile, master student Josephine Collin s says she prefers the interaction a hologram lecture offers compared to those presented online.
I wouldn’t mind it. I think it’s very interesting if we can have access to different lectures and different things like guest speakers. That’s something I would definitely enjoy. Developers say the cost of holographic technology has dropped considerably since the days it was used mostly in big-budget music shows, making it possible for educational institutions to afford it.
32．According to this passage, holographic technology mainly benefits ______.
A．lectures B．commerce（商业） C．education D．science
33．How does holographic technology work
A．Our sight changes a 2D image into a 3D image. B．Our brain turns a 2D image into a 3D image.
C．Our brain presents a 2D image as a 3D image. D．Our brain is so flat that we see everything in 2D.
34．Compared to the lectures presented online, a hologram lecture ______.
A．brings Albert Einstein back to life
B．is more available whenever and wherever you are
C．has CEOs exposed to the open air
D．allows the lecturer to interact with students
35．What is the author’s attitude towards holographic technology
A．Supportive. B．Opposing. C．Objective. D．Neutral.

On the weekend, I went shopping and after walking around for a while, I felt tired so I decided to get a cup of coffee. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an older gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch put in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it. It was also rather clear that he had a problem with his right eye and probably couldn’t see out of it. I wasn’t thinking about it anymore, and then joined the line, waiting to be served.
Then it happened---one of the most beautiful gestures I have ever seen in my life.
There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. As the young man approached the counter to place his order, he noticed the older gentleman sitting on the bench nearby. Without hesitation, he turned back to the cashier and asked if they could provide a free cup of tea for the elderly man. The cashier was surprised by his sudden request, hesitating for a moment and nodding in agreement.
The young man then went on to pay for not only his own drink but also another one, which he handed to the older gentleman with a warm smile. The older man looked up, surprised and grateful, as the young man sat down beside him on the bench. They began to chat, and I couldn’t help but feel touched by this simple act of kindness.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I received my tea, I decided to join them.
