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.
4. 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.
5. Why does Zhang work with some organizations
A. To recover traditional Chinese clothing.
B. To reduce employment pressure.
C. To increase her business influence.
D. To help the companies in trouble.
6. 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.
7. Which of the following best describes Zhang’s restoration work

【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A

【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。文章讲述了张泽宁作为一名汉服爱好者，把复原汉服从爱好做成了事业的故事，期间她走访了全国各地，为她的汉服复原事业寻找灵感。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(来自中国东部江苏省南京市的汉服支持者和爱好者张泽宁，八年前开始了一段令人惊讶的旅程，以修复这种中国传统服装)”可知，张泽宁喜欢中国传统艺术。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(现在，作为一家汉服工作室的老板，张与女性再就业组织合作，寻找会缝纫的全职在家妇女。这符合她对汉服生产的需求)”可知，因为她需要大量人手来复原汉服，所以才会和这些组织合作寻找人手。由此可知，张泽宁与一些组织合作的目的是恢复中国传统服装。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(2015年前后，张开始独立关注汉服修复的过程。那一年，她去了中国西北部甘肃省的敦煌，那里美丽的壁画吸引了她，她想知道如何才能把它们变成美丽的服装)”可知，她是在2015年到访了敦煌，并从中受到启发，从而开始了她的汉服复原事业。由此推知，作者提到敦煌是为了说明她的独立汉服复原事业的开端。故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“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. (多亏了她的努力，越来越多的年轻人开始穿着复原过的汉服参观博物馆，而她也很开心能看到越来越多的人这么做)”可知，很多人都能穿上她复原过的汉服，说明她的效率很高，不然不会这么普及。故选A项。
C
Rainforests 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.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests 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 rainforests for nothing! Rainforests 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 rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
8. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph
A. They produce oxygen. B. They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed. D. They are rich in wildlife.
9. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests
A. Heavy rains B. Big trees.
C. Small plants. D. Forest animals.
10. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other
A For more sunlight. B. For more growing space.
C. For self-protection. D. For the detection of insects.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Life-Giving Rainforests B. The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon D. Weather in Rainforests
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。热带雨林被称为“世界上最大的药房”，因为超过25%的现代药物是由其植物提炼。热带雨林也享有“地球之肺”的美誉，因其植物的光合作用净化地球空气的能力尤为强大。仅亚马逊热带雨林产生的氧气就占全球氧气总量的1/3。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals.得知，热带雨林蕴藏了丰富多彩的药用植物、食物以及鸟禽猛兽。可知，热带雨林有丰富的野生动物，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Rainforests 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.得知，热带雨林有自己完美的生存体系，高大的树木有枝干，树叶的树冠层保护树木本身、小植物、动物们免受大雨和太阳强风带来的干燥热浪的伤害。可知，大树有助于热带雨林生存，故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段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.得知，科学家们认为这是植物阻止任何树木疾病扩散和让比如毛毛虫这种食用树叶的昆虫难以生存。可以判断出不同树木的树叶和树枝避免彼此触碰是为了自我保护，故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文首先讲述了热带雨林蕴藏了丰富多彩的药用植物、食物以及鸟禽猛兽。其次，热带雨林就是地球的肺——它吸纳了大量的二氧化碳，并制造了全球氧气的很大部分。然后，雨林可以自我形成所需降雨的75%，而庞大的热带雨林湿气则可以形成雨云，这些雨云则可以飘往那些缺雨水的国家。可以判断出本文最佳标题是“给予生命的热带雨林”，故选A。

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 Collins 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.
12. According to this passage, holographic technology mainly benefits _________.
A. lectures B. commerce(商业) C. education D. science
13. 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.
pared to the lectures presented online, a hologram lecture _________.
A. brings Albert Einstein back to life B. allows the lecturer to interact with students
C. has CEOs exposed to the open air D. is more available whenever and wherever you are
15. What is the author’s attitude towards holographic technology
A. Supportive. B. Opposing. C. Objective. D. Neutral.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全息技术在教育方面的应用。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
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 any more, 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.

【答案】范文
As I received my tea, I decided to join them. The older man introduced himself and we struck up a conversation. He told me about his life and how he had fallen on hard times. He expressed his gratitude towards the young man who had bought him tea, saying that it was a small gesture that had made a big difference in his day. The young man told us about how he volunteered at a local homeless shelter and how he believed that everyone deserved a little kindness. Hearing it, I was deeply moved.
As we continued to talk, more people heard about it. Some even stopped to listen to the old man’s story and offer their support. The man, with tears in his eyes, thanked us for our kindness and promised to never forget this day. It was heartwarming to see how one simple act of kindness had sparked a chain reaction of love. This encounter had reminded me that we all have the ability to make a difference in the world, one act of kindness at a time.

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.
4. 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.
5. Why does Zhang work with some organizations
A. To recover traditional Chinese clothing.
B. To reduce employment pressure.
C. To increase her business influence.
D. To help the companies in trouble.
6. 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.
7. Which of the following best describes Zhang’s restoration work
A. Effective. B. Short-lasting. C. Dangerous. D. Costly.
C
Rainforests 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.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests 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 rainforests for nothing! Rainforests 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 rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
8. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph
A. They produce oxygen. B. They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed. D. They are rich in wildlife.
9. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests
A. Heavy rains B. Big trees.
C. Small plants. D. Forest animals.
10. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other
A. For more sunlight. B. For more growing space.
C. For self-protection. D. For the detection of insects.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Life-Giving Rainforests B. The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon D. Weather in Rainforests
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 Collins 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.
12. According to this passage, holographic technology mainly benefits _________.
A. lectures B. commerce(商业) C. education D. science
13. 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.
pared to the lectures presented online, a hologram lecture _________.
A. brings Albert Einstein back to life B. allows the lecturer to interact with students
C. has CEOs exposed to the open air D. is more available whenever and wherever you are
15 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 any more, 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.
