Whether you’ re a fearless adventurer seeking a scenic climb or a beginner outdoorsman eager to be close to nature, these four camping destinations will change your life.
Laugavegur, Iceland
Before snow falls upon the changeable rhyolite (流纹岩) mountains, book a cottage or a tent in the camp city as wild camping is not permitted here. Professionals advise hiking from north to south, which takes you across lava fields, wildflower-spotted grasslands, and to the twin glaciers (冰川) Eyjafjallaj kull and Mydralsj kull. Along the way, the mountains covered with various colors will appeal to you.
High Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Morocco’s most typical range is a bucket-list camping destination for daring travelers. Pass through remote Berber villages and walk a long way from hot desert to snow-capped peaks. You can follow ancient animal paths, though guides in this area are highly suggested. Many will employ the use of a camel to help with the load.
Tierra del Fuego, Chile
Tierra del Fuego is an explorer’s dream. Take a cross-border journey from Argentina to Chile through Radman and set up camp along one of the glacial lakes Blanco or Ofhidro. Animals like beavers are common in this area, and so are condors (秃鹰). Bed down in the grasslands beneath Jebel M’ goun, an extremely quiet peak.
Main Range, Kosciuszko National Park, Australia
Whether you fill your days with passing over the country’ s highest mountains, watching snowfalls or fishing in the glacial lakes, make sure to spend an evening appreciating the starry sky, which is certain to inspire awe (敬畏) in anyone witnessing this sight.
21. What is necessary to camp in Laugavegur according to the text

C. Reservation for accommodation. D. Recommendation from professionals.
22. Who may be most attracted by both High Atlas Mountains and Tierra del Fuego

Are your keys not in the spot you thought you left them Can’t recall the title of a book I’ve had those moments. Such instances of “brain freeze” remind us that we should do everything in our power to keep our brains sharp.
A new study finds Tai Chi study can help slow cognitive (认知的) decline and protect against dementia (痴呆). The study included about 300 older adults, in their mid-70s on average, who had all reported that their memory was not as good as it used to be.
As part of the study, all the participants took a 10-mirrute test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. A normal score is 26-30. A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities. Once their score drops under 18, people experience quite a bit of impairment from memory loss and cognitive decline.
The average score of participant s at the start of the study was 25. The study found that people who practiced a simplified form of Tai Chi twice a week for about six months improved their score by 1.5 points, meaning that they’re going to get three extra years before they hit that decline into dementia.
Researchers also tested a more stricter type of Tai Chi, called Cognitively Enhanced Tai Chi, where they provided extra challenges. For example, participants were asked to spell a word, backward and forward, as they moved through a series of Tai Chi moves. The people who practice this type of cognitively enhanced Tai Chi improved their scores by about 3 points, meaning they are given six extra years of cognitive function.
The theory on why Tai Chi is effective is that it combines the memorization of the movements known as forms, almost like composing dancing moves.
24. Why are two questions raised in the first paragraph
A. To present the author’s doubts. B. To expect answers from readers.
C. To analyze the causes of forgetfulness. D. To introduce the main topic of the text.
25. What is the third paragraph mainly about

C. Cognitive measurement criteria. D. The test results of the participants.
26. What does the pre-best average score of the participants imply
A. Most of them suffer from, dementia. B. They remain as quick-minded as before.
C. Many of them have slight cognitive decline. D. They can protect themselves against dementia.
27. Why does Tai Chi have a positive impact
A. It helps resolve challenges. B. It involves mind-body movements.
C. It puts off cognitive decline by three years. D. It improves the participants academic level.
C
The ocean is home to more than 200,000 known species and as many as 2 million that we have yet to discover. And, it is also home to 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics. In 2022, researchers spotlighted how bad marine microplastic pollution, is getting: The total amount of microplastics on the bottom of oceans has greatly increased. in the past two decades.
Microplastic particles don’t just end up at the bottom of the ocean. Animals are eating them — at least 1,500 species have been reported to ingest plastic. And a lot of it. For example, whales in New Zealand’s Hauraki Gulf consume roughly three million microplastics daily, according to research published in Science of the Total Environment, which analyzed whale waste to see how much microplastics were present.
“Other research has shown that if plastics are small enough, they can cross the gut(肠道) wall and get into internal organs though the long-term effects are still unclear. Plastics can also release chemicals that are harmful to digestive system,” says Kahane-Rapport. “This is concerning, and while we do not yet understand the long-term health-effects, it is likely not a good sign for whales and their prey(猎物) to eat a man-made material like plastic.”
This is obviously bad for whales, but it also has effects on humans and the ocean at large. We are also part of these food chains and are consuming microplastics regularly. They are in our bottled water, in our table salt — they are even in our house dust and in the air we breathe. And we still don’t know what the health effects are. Meanwhile, the impact on whales — and what it indicates — is troubling on many fronts. “Whales are ecosystem engineers,” says Kahane-Rapport. “They can spread the nutrients that they consumed and serve as ecosystem guards — when whales are not healthy, other parts of the system will suffer.”
Kahane-Rapport says more research is needed. “The next research step will be to determine how much plastic the whales excrete(排出) and how much is left in their bodies. Following that, we would be able to determine the direct health effects on their tissues.”
28. What does the underlined word “ingest” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Deal with. B. Bring up. C. Take in. D. Spread out.
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Researches show contradictory results.
B. Digestive system is the most affected part.
C. Small plastics are more harmful than big ones.
D. Much about microplastics’ harm remains unclear.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The various sources of pollution.
B. Tab chain reaction of microplastics.
C. Possible solutions to plastic pollution.
D. Growing awareness of ocean protection
31. What will the following research focus on
A. Microplastic pollution to the ocean bottom
B. The sufferings of other ocean creatures.
C. Whales’ contributions to the ecosystem.
D. The amount of plastic in whales bodies.
D
Imagine living in an apartment in Manhattan. When Covid-19 hits, you have nowhere to escape. Instead, you go up to the rooftop, where, to your surprise, other renters have come, too. After some awkwardness, everyone starts meeting nightly, drinks in hand, to share stories about themselves. This is the background setting of Fourteen Days, a “collaborative novel” edited by Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston. In addition to these two, 34 authors of varied backgrounds contributed to the book. It is one of a growing number of new works, which are written together in some way.
AI services, such as ChatGPT, have started to become co-authors, too. Such models are also conversational machines, which can suggest phrases, give feedback and answer questions. “Cyborg authorship” is what MrRettberg of University of Bergen calls this. He published a book with Cyborg authorship, in which ChatGPT is tasked with generating reviews of famous works in the style of well-known authors — think Jane Austen writing about William Burroughs’s Naked Lunch.
Writing with collaborators, be they human or artificial, will only become more common. But individual authors will still dominate creatively. That is because collectively written books rarely make for great literature. Many contributions to Fourteen Days are cleverly woven together. But the book does not work quite well. Then there is authorial ego (自我价值感). Getting all 36 authors of Fourteen Days to agree on the text was a challenge, with some writers taking issue with how their story ended up being framed and referred to by other contributors later. And AI is not yet fully accepted in literary circles. Recently KudanRie, the winner of Japan’s top prize for literature, admitted she used ChatGPT to write around 5% of her science-fiction novel Tokyo Sympathy Tower. Such honesty is rare because most would never admit using AI. A new sort of “ghost writing” may be having a moment, but many writers will never want to name ChatGPT as their co-author.
32. Who created Fourteen Days
A. New Yorkers suffering from Covid-19. B. Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston.
C. Renters of a Manhattan apartment building. D. Separate writers from different walks of life.
33. What is ChatGPT’s contribution to MrRettberg’s book
A. Generating phrases. B. Giving feedback.
C. Writing book reviews. D. Improving language fluency.
34. What is the main reason for the dominance of individual authors
A. Collaborative writing is becoming less common. B. Individual authorship makes creative literature.
C. Most authors reject to cooperate with AI. D. Individual writing improves efficiency.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards collaborative writing
A. Favorable. B. Negative. C. Cautious. D. Optimistic.

Glaciers are melting; children are facing violence; hatred is spreading. At times, it feels as if the world is reaching the bottom. ___36___ It’s one of the most powerful and essential human mindsets, and possible to achieve even when it feels out of reach. Chan Hellman, a psychologist, emphasizes that hope is a teachable and attainable mindset, not an inherent trait. How can we stay hopeful-even when it feels unattainable
___37___
As children, we were often warned against getting our hopes up. However, David Feldman, a professor studying hope, notes, “The truth is, whether or not we allow ourselves to hope, at some point we’re going to be disappointed. I think the solution is allowing ourselves to feel hopeful.
Set at least one meaningful goal
In the mid-1980s, the psychologist Charles Snyder identified three crucial factors forming the basis of Hope Theory, a model researchers still rely on today: First, people must think in a goal-oriented way. More on the other two elements, pathways and agency.) Make it a point to always be working toward at least one goal that’s meaningful by nature, Feldman advises. ___38___.
Brainstorm solutions
___39___. Feldman explains it as having clear and feasible strategies for goal attainment. If you’ve set a goal that’s meaningful to you, but you can’t figure out a way to achieve it, you’ll probably feel pretty hopeless. People who are high in hope, meanwhile, tend to have an alternative at the ready.
Call your support team
According to Snyder’s research, people who are hopeful tend to have a lot of “agency”, which means the motivation to actually achieve their goals. Getting a good night’s rest, following a healthy diet, and meditating can all promote agency, Feldman says. ___40___. However, sometimes the strongest source of agency is other people. When Feldman is feeling low, he calls his father, who’s his biggest cheerleader.
A. Seek for hope in loneliness
B. Give yourself permission to be hopeful
C. The cure for any despair might be hope
D. Surround yourself with supportive people
E. So can tapping into our own positive beliefs about ourselves
F. Another key element of Snyder’s Hope Theory is “pathways”

67. 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。
A few days before Christmas, while enjoying coffees, my girlfriend and I noticed a woman trying to get her bank card to work.
“Do you know her ” I asked my friend.
“I do. Give me a minute. I’m going to go and see if I can help,” she replied, standing up to walk over to her.
A few minutes later, my friend returned to the table with the woman. The woman looked upset. Her eyes were swollen, as if she’d been crying all night. She looked pale, tired, and messy. After I was introduced, my friend asked her if she was okay. She admitted she wasn’t and burst into tears.
I could sense she was a little embarrassed by her emotional response. Wanting to put her at ease, I quickly told her not to worry. I shared that I was a new mom with many troubles and I’d already cried fourteen times that day. She laughed but soon her tears were flowing again.
For the next forty-five minutes, my friend and I both sat and patiently listened to her. She lost her husband before Christmas and their bank accounts were now left nothing. As a stay-at-home mom of two, in one split second, her entire life had come crashing down around her.
We tried our best to cheer her up. My friend even tried to give her some cash, which she refused. When she finally got up to leave, she wiped her tears, thanked us both for listening, and walked out.
As I drove home, I couldn’t stop thinking about how depressed she looked when she left the cafe. No one deserves to feel that sad, I thought, especially right before Christmas. There must be something I can do to help. I racked my brain (绞尽脑汁) for an answer.
注意：

【原文】
M: People can’t imagine life without water. Without it, the earth we live on would be a dead one. There would be no trees, no crops, no animals and no people. So water is considered to be next to oxygen in importance.
Although nearly three quarters of the earth’s surface is covered with water, most of it is seawater which is undrinkable. The demand for water is increasing, but water resources are in short supply. Agricultural production needs enormous amounts of water , so does industry. Besides, the rapid growth of population makes it more and more difficult for people to survive because of the water shortage. More than half of the world’s population lives in water-stressed areas and, according to the United Nations, that number will increase to two-thirds by 2025. So water shortage has become one of the most serious problems.
Fortunately, people have realized this pressing problem and are trying to find ways to solve it. First, people are urged to use less water. Second, measures are taken to protect water resources. Third, circulating water is used for industrial purposes over and over in factories and treated sewage water is used for irrigation in farming land.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述练太极拳有助于减缓认知衰退和预防痴呆。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Such instances of “brain freeze” remind us that we should do everything in our power to keep our brains sharp.(这些“大脑冻结”的例子提醒我们，我们应该尽我们所能保持我们的大脑敏锐)”和第二段的“A new study finds Tai Chi can help slow cognitive (认知的) decline and protect against dementia (痴呆).(一项新研究发现太极拳有助于减缓认知衰退和预防痴呆)”可推知，文章开头的两个问题是为了引出“练太极拳有助于减缓认知衰退和预防痴呆”这个主题。故选D项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“As part of the study, all the participants took a 10-mirrute test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. A normal score is 26-30. A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities, Once their score drops under 18, people experience quite a bit of impairment from memory loss and cognitive decline.(作为研究的一部分，所有参与者都参加了一个名为蒙特利尔认知评估的10分钟测试。正常的分数是26-30。得分在18到25分之间的人被认为有轻度损伤，这意味着他们没有痴呆症，但他们不像以前那么敏锐，可能需要更加努力地来维持日常活动，一旦他们的得分降至18分以下，人们经历相当多的记忆丧失和认知能力下降的损害)”可知，本段主要内容是认知测量标准。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“The average score of participants at the start of the study was 25.(研究开始时，参与者的平均得分是25分)”以及第三段“A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities.(得分在18到25分之间的人被认为有轻度损伤，这意味着他们没有痴呆症，但他们不像以前那么敏捷，可能需要更加努力地维持日常活动)”可知，他们中的许多人有轻微的认知能力下降。故选C项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The theory on why Tai Chi is effective is that it combines the memorization of the movements, known as forms, almost like composing dancing moves.(为什么太极拳有效的理论是，它结合了动作的记忆，几乎像编排舞蹈动作)”可知，太极之所以起到积极作用是因为它涉及身心运动。故选B项。
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了海洋中微塑料污染的严重程度以及对鲸鱼和人类健康的影响。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。文章划线单词上文讲到“Microplastic particles don’t just end up at the bottom of the ocean. Animals are eating them — at least 1,500 species have been reported (微塑料颗粒不仅仅最终到达海底。动物正在吃它们——据报道至少有1500种……)”以及下文“For example, whales in New Zealand’s Hauraki Gulf consume roughly three million microplastics daily(例如，新西兰豪拉基湾的鲸鱼每天消耗大约300万个微塑料)”可知，鲸鱼正在吃掉这些塑料微粒。因此，第二段中带下划线的单词可能的意思是“摄入”。“Take in”符合这个意思。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“Plastics can also release chemicals that are harmful to digestive system,” says Kahane-Rapport. “This is concerning, and while we do not yet understand the long-term health-effects, it is likely not a good sign for whales and their prey(猎物) to eat a man-made material like plastic.”(塑料也会释放出对消化系统有害的化学物质，”Kahane Rapport说。“这令人担忧，虽然我们还不了解其对健康的长期影响，但鲸鱼及其猎物食用塑料等人造材料可能不是一个好兆头。”)”可知，我们对微塑料的危害仍知之甚少。因此，从第三段可以推断出关于微塑料的危害，目前还不清楚。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第四段讲到“We are also part of these food chains and are consuming microplastics regularly. They are in our bottled water, in our table salt — they are even in our house dust and in the air we breathe. And we still don’t know what the health effects are. (我们也是这些食物链的一部分，并且经常食用微塑料。它们存在于我们的瓶装水、食盐中——甚至存在于我们家的灰尘和我们呼吸的空气中。我们仍然不知道对健康的影响是什么。)”可知，本段主要展示微塑料的连锁反应。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“The next research step will be to determine how much plastic the whales excrete(排出) and how much is left in their bodies. Following that, we would be able to determine the direct health effects on their tissues. (下一步的研究将是确定鲸鱼排泄出多少塑料，以及它们体内还剩多少塑料。之后，我们将能够确定对其组织的直接健康影响。)”可知，接下来的研究将关注鲸鱼体内塑料的数量。故选C。
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的写作方式正在兴起，那就是来自不同背景的作者，甚至ChatGPT等人工智能服务也开始成为共同作者。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“This is the background setting of Fourteen Days, a “collaborative novel” edited by Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston. In addition to these two, 34 authors of varied backgrounds contributed to the book.(这就是玛格丽特·阿特伍德和道格拉斯·普雷斯顿编辑的“合作小说”《十四天》的背景。除了这两位之外，还有34位背景各异的作者参与了这本书的撰写)”可知，除了Margaret Atwood和Douglas Preston，还有34位来自不同行业的作者参与了这本书的编写。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He published a book with Cyborg authorship, in which ChatGPT is tasked with generating reviews of famous works in the style of well-known authors — think Jane Austen writing about William Burroughs’s Naked Lunch.(他以半机械人的身份出版了一本书，在这本书中，ChatGPT的任务是用知名作家的风格对著名作品进行评论——想想简·奥斯汀对威廉·巴勒斯的《裸体午餐》的评论)”可知，ChatGPT在Rettberg的书里写了书评。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But individual authors will still dominate creatively. That is because collectively written books rarely make for great literature.(但个人作家仍将在创作上占据主导地位。这是因为集体写作的书很少能成为伟大的文学作品)”可知，个人作者占主导地位的主要原因是个人创作创造文学。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段作者陈述了合作写作呈上升趋势，但文章最后两段作者表明个人写作仍然占据主导地位。同时作者从多方面分析了个人写作占主导的原因，根据文章最后一段中“Writing with collaborators, be they human or artificial, will only become more common. But individual authors will still dominate creatively. That is because collectively written books rarely make for great literature. (与人或人工合作写作只会变得越来越普遍。但个人作家仍将在创作上占据主导地位。这是因为集体写作的书很少能成为伟大的文学作品。)”以及“A new sort of “ghost writing” may be having a moment, but many writers will never want to name ChatGPT as their co-author.(一种新的“代写”可能正在兴起，但许多作者永远不会愿意将ChatGPT命名为他们的合著者)”可知，作者认为个人作家仍将在创作上占据主导地位，尽管一种新的“代写”可能正在兴起，但大多数作家拒绝承认使用ChatGPT。由此可知作者对合作写作是持谨慎态度的。故选C项。
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. G 39. F 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些保持希望的方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Glaciers are melting; children are facing violence; hatred is spreading. At times, it feels as if the world is reaching the bottom.(冰川正在融化；儿童面临暴力；仇恨正在蔓延。有时，感觉好像世界正在走向谷底)”以及后文“It’s one of the most powerful and essential human mindsets, and possible to achieve even when it feels out of reach.(这是人类最强大、最重要的心态之一，即使感觉遥不可及，也有可能实现)”可知，本句主要说明后文It指代的内容，且上文前两句话可以与C选项中的despair 相对，故C选项“治愈绝望的方法可能是希望”符合语境，故选C。
【37题详解】
此处是本段小标题，根据本段“I think the solution is allowing ourselves to feel hopeful.(我认为解决办法是让我们自己充满希望)”可知，本段的主旨是让自己充满希望。故B选项“允许自己充满希望”符合语境，故选B。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Make it a point to always be working toward at least one goal that’s meaningful by nature, Feldman advises.(费尔德曼建议，一定要始终朝着至少一个本质上有意义的目标努力)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，G项中的it指代前一句中的goal，表达这个目标不应该是你不得不(被迫) 做的， 而应该是你自己想做的，与working to ward at least one goal that’s meaningful by nature形成联系。故G选项“它不应该是你必须做的事情，而是你想做的事情”符合语境，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Feldman explains it as having clear and feasible strategies for goal attainment. If you’ve set a goal that’s meaningful to you, but you can’t figure out a way to achieve it, you’ll probably feel pretty hopeless. People who are high in hope, meanwhile, tend to have an alternative at the ready.(费尔德曼将其解释为拥有实现目标的清晰可行的策略。如果你设定了一个对你来说很有意义的目标，但你却找不到实现它的方法，你可能会感到非常绝望。与此同时，满怀希望的人往往已经准备好了另一种选择)”可知，后文提到了满怀希望的人往往已经准备好了另一种选择，即说明实现目标的途径，故F选项“施耐德希望理论的另一个关键要素是‘路径’”符合语境，故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文“According to Snyder’s research, people who are hopeful tend to have a lot of “agency”, which means the motivation to actually achieve their goals. Getting a good night’s rest, following a healthy diet, and meditating can all promote agency, Feldman says.(根据斯奈德的研究，充满希望的人往往有很多“能动性”，这意味着实现目标的动力。费尔德曼说，晚上睡个好觉，遵循健康的饮食习惯，以及冥想都可以促进动机)”可知，前一句句意是如何促进动机，此空应继续介绍促进动机的措施；而且此题可从相似的句型结构入手：E项中使用的“So can+主语”的倒装句，与前一句“主语+can do sth.”形成呼应。故E选项“利用我们对自己的积极信念也可以”符合语境，故选E。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了马面裙的相关信息。
【56题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：Mamianqun，又称马面裙，是中国古代裙装的代表之一。由本句中one of可知后面应为名词复数，所以用representatives。故填representatives。
【57题详解】
考查代词。句意：它出现在宋朝，在明朝流行起来。it指代前文中出现的Mamianqun。作主语，置于句首，首字母大写。故填It。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：从那以后，它保留了其独特的“马脸”结构，并经历了一个迷人的演变。 此处需填一个形容词作定语，修饰“horse face”structure。所以用所给词的形容词形式distinctive。故填distinctive。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这种传统的裙子是由两块重叠的面料组成的，每一块都是相同的，构成了裙子的一半。此处是介词+关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为two overlapping panels，先行词为物。又因在介词of之后，所以应用which引导。故填which。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意：这条裙子有四个开口，两个在前面，两个在后面，非常适合打算骑马的女性。be suited for/to sb.是一个固定搭配，意为“适合某人”。故填for/ to。
【61题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：通常，马面炮的装饰图案分为个人和广泛的刺绣织物图案，分别承载着独特的含义。整篇文章总体采用了一般现在时来对马面裙进行介绍，且马面裙的装饰图案是被分为两种类别。所以需要用一般现在时的被动形式，主语是复数，be动词应用are divided。故填are divided。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：通常，马面炮的装饰图案分为个人和广泛的刺绣织物图案，分别承载着独特的含义。本句中individual and broad embroidery (刺绣) fabric patterns与carry unique meanings respectively (分别承载着独特的含义)是主动关系，所以用现在分词carrying。故填carrying。
【63题详解】

【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：此外，为了给这种历史文化服装带来新的生命，汉服爱好者将马面炮与更随意的服装(如t恤或衬衫)结合在一起，呈现出更随意的外观。根据句式分析，此处应用副词Additionally作状语。置于句首，首字母大写。故填Additionally。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：此外，为了给这种历史文化服装带来新的生命，汉服爱好者将马面裙与更随意的服装(如t恤或衬衫)结合在一起，呈现出更随意的外观。泛指“一种新的面貌”。用不定冠词，且more首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。

67.【答案】Gladly, a solution came. I decided to make Christmas a little better for her family by buying them some gifts without hurting her pride. As soon as I got home, I called my girlfriend excitedly and explained my plan. She agreed with me and offered to buy and deliver the presents with me. On Christmas Eve morning, we drove to the woman’s house with a large box of food and a few presents in the name of Santa, imagining their reactions when they found out that Santa had sent them gifts when they were least expecting it.
The kids were overjoyed when hearing that Santa (圣诞老人) had sent them gifts. However, their mom seemed embarrassed at first. It was not until we insisted that Christmas was a time for shared joy and Santa didn’t accept returns that she accepted the presents and thanked our kindness sincerely. Seeing their faces filled with joy made me feel like I had made a real difference to their lives. The gifts were just the beginning, hopefully enough to put the family’s lives back on track. I had a feeling that this would be a Christmas to remember.
