Karen Keech Swerling worked in Hollywood as a costume designer for three decades. She and her husband were looking for a change of pace in retirement, so eight years ago they traded their house in Malibu for an early 1900s Victorian in Richmond’s museum district. Swerling turned the basement into a studio for her nonprofit organization, Richmond Really Sews!, and she offered free classes to anyone crazy about sewing.
Swerling said, “People chat while they’re sewing and become friends—I love it. Sewing allows us to express where we come from and how we feel. We can’t do that if we go to the store.”
Members of Richmond Really Sews! are people of different backgrounds. Every Saturday afternoon, they gather around 30 work stations with different sewing machines. On Nov. 2nd, they showcased their work at their annual fundraiser, Richmond Frocktails, a fashion show featuring their handmade creations. While Swerling donates her time and talent, she relies on money raised at the event to cover sewing machine maintenance and supplies.
In the spring, the group went to New York City, where they encountered famous fabric designers at Elliott Berman and Metro Textiles. When they returned to Richmond, they received a surprise: a 60-pound box of fabric s from Elliott Berman. “They’re sustainable fabrics from France and Italy and really high-end fabrics,”Swerling said.
Swerling says she loves sharing her knowledge as a way of honoring the teachers at California’s Long Beach City College, where she met a significant teacher, Alicia Annas, who helped her research the business and introduced her to friends in Hollywood.
Swerling’s first project was “Esperanza” with the American Film Institute in 1982．Though unpaid, the work made her known and brought her into the clothing industry so that she was able to go on to design the costumes for The Munsters Today series and the movie Far North. Over the next 33 years, she designed costumes for major feature films and TV shows. Despite her career success, Swerling says she feels the most fulfilled today, passing on her skills to others and keeping the art of sewing alive.
24．What does Swerling say about sewing
A．It cures people of their bad habits. B．It helps those with mental problems.
C．It increases her family’s income. D．It enlarges people’s social circle.
25．Why is Richmond Frocktails held every year
A．To collect funds for the organization. B．To attract more physical donations.
C．To popularize the concept of sewing. D．To expand the organization’s business.
26．How does Swerling probably feel about Alicia Annas
A．Regretful. B．Annoyed. C．Grateful. D．Scared.
27．How did Esperanza impact Swerling
A．It made her famous worldwide. B．It helped her break into the clothing industry.
C．It earned her a lot of money. D．It introduced her to many fabric designers.

Deeply rooted in the oral traditions of indigenous（土著的）communities, indigenous stories carry great significance. Such stories often convey moral lessons, societal norms and the shared wisdom of the community. Through these stories, the younger generations learn about their ancestors, the struggles they faced and the success they achieved. This develops a sense of continuity, strengthening the structure of indigenous societies. Moreover, by listening to and retelling these stories, community members contribute to the survival of indigenous languages.
Indigenous stories serve as windows into the different cultures worldwide. Each story is a unique expression of a community’s worldview, shaped by its history, environment and spiritual beliefs. Through these stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the different ways people view the world. And by telling their stories, indigenous peoples invite others to look into their traditions, developing empathy（共情）and promoting a more interconnected world where different cultures are celebrated and respected.
Many indigenous stories explore themes of creation and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material fields. Through these tales, individuals find a sense of purpose and connection to something greater than themselves. Indigenous stories provide stories of overcoming challenges, of not giving up in the face of hardship, and of the interconnectedness that combines communities together. In this way, storytelling promotes healing on both individual and communal levels.
While indigenous stories are of great importance, their continuation is threatened. For example, the impact of modernization has disturbed traditional storytelling practices. The use of indigenous stories for commercial purposes also hurts their authenticity（真实性）. Fortunately, despite these challenges, there’s a growing global recognition of the need to preserve and reinstate indigenous stories.
Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories. They focus on teaching and bringing endangered languages back, which helps oral stories pass down. Cooperative projects between indigenous communities and external partners, such as researchers and storytellers, contribute to the record and preservation of oral traditions. Digital platforms, podcasts, and interactive media provide opportunities to share indigenous stories with a global audience, raising awareness about the importance of indigenous storytelling.
28．What can be learned about indigenous stories from paragraph 2
A．They promote cross-culture understanding. B．They improve our ability to tell stories.
C．They teach people how to live worldwide. D．They are a symbol of wisdom and spirits.
29．What do indigenous stories mean for people in trouble
A．Signs of identity. B．Sources of strength.
C．Means of survival. D．Forms of pleasure.
30．What does the underlined word “reinstate” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Learn. B．Adapt. C．Interpret. D．Restore.
31．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Ways to share stories with the audience. B．Impacts of the interactive mass media.
C．Efforts to preserve indigenous stories. D．Attitudes towards passing down stories.

Everything including 3D printers is bigger in Texas. The Lone Star State will soon be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has begun construction in the desert north of Marfa. Photos of the site show a large 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. This machine, called the Vulcan, was created by Texas-based 3D printing and robotics company ICON.
The project is a cooperation between Liz Lambert, El Cosmico’s owner, ICON and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group. Lambert wants to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new units and 18 homes on a new 40-acre land. Model images of the hotel’s inside part show cream walls and rounded wooden surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. In addition to the hotel, El Cosmico will include several 3D-printed homes, which are now priced for $2.29 million. It’s reported that the hotel units will cost between $200 and $450 per night.
The structures’ walls are made of a concrete called “lavacrete”, a particular low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive（压力的）strength of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch.
ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has since been used to build 3D-printed homes in Texas and Mexico. Besides printing houses and hotels, a few years ago, ICON built Mars Dune Alpha, a 3D-printed environment that copied conditions on the Red Planet’s surface. In 2022, the company got a $57 million contract for their Project Olympus, which is exploring ways to build 3D-printed structures on the moon using locally available materials.
Back on Earth, this 3D-printing technology has the potential to help deal with America’s affordable housing problem. In 2020, ICON constructed several houses for the Community First! Village in Austin, a program for people experiencing homelessness.
In the future, the expansion of El Cosmico may include affordable housing for hotel staff. Lambert said these plans were “in the background” but still moving forward. Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026.
32．What is a feature of the 3D-printed hotel
A．It is out of place from the surroundings. B．It’s the result of a single company’s effort.
C．It is eco-friendly as well as strong. D．It is surrounded by wooden houses.
33．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Mars Dune Alpha
A．To illustrate ICON’s strong technology. B．To push the protection of the environment.
C．To recommend a high-end printed hotel. D．To urge people to learn 3D-printed structures.
34．What is ICON’s technology intended to do
A．Print food for the homeless. B．Offer hotel staff chances to travel.
C．Create smart robots in space. D．Address America’s housing crisis.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．ICON: Leading in 3D-Printing Technology B．El Cosmico: A Large Hotel Being 3D-Printed
C．Housing Crisis: A Big Issue in America D．ICON’s Lavacrete: Changing Construction

The history of self-publishing dates back to the creation of the movable type printing press. Around 1439, German inventor Johannes Gutenberg introduced this technology in Europe. Before this, books were copied. The printing press allowed for the mass production of books, making it practical for individuals to publish their own works. At first, self-publishing wasn’t common. 36 By the 18th century, famous individuals like Benjamin Franklin published works like Poor Richard’s Almanack, showing the potential and influence of self-publishing.
With the arrival of digital technology, self-publishing has experienced a revolution（革新）. Print-on-demand services, pioneered by companies like Xlibris and AuthorHouse, appeared in the late 1990s. 37 The launch of Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing（KDP）brought another significant change. KDP made it easy for authors to publish e-books and reach a global audience.
The shift from physical books to e-books marks one of the key moments in self-publishing. 38 With the help of online platforms, authors can upload manuscripts（稿件）and make them available to millions of readers almost immediately. Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have become necessary tools for self-published authors. 39 What’s more, author platforms have also appeared, providing resources and networks to support self-publishing efforts.
40 Enhanced layout software and design tools make it easier for authors to create polished books without extensive skills. AI tools are changing how authors edit their manuscripts. This enables faster production and higher quality. Overall, self-publishing is developing rapidly with new technological advancements.
A．E-books allow authors to publish their work quickly.
B．However, the seeds were planted for future growth.
C．Authors printed books as needed with these services.
D．New authors have more opportunities now than ever.

The side door of the small aircraft was opened wide, and the wind rushed through the cargo hold（货仓）. Packed tightly were fourteen silent people. Two of them were my adult children. Holding themselves perfectly still, they stared out at the endless sky.
When we reached a height of 4,300 feet, my son’s face turned pale as he carefully inched next to the opening, leaned（倾斜）sideways, and fell out of the airplane. Something went cold in my heart when I realized he was gone. But, only seconds later, instructions were being barked, and my daughter suddenly appeared in the same space just occupied by my son. She seemed a little nervous and then fell away into the wild blue sky after her brother.
For a quick moment, a desperate fear overcame me, and I wondered if that was the last time I would see them and whether they would land safely. But the thought soon passed as I felt a strong pull on my pack and was moved into position by our instructor.
With a big birthday approaching, two of my adult children had chosen to surprise me with an unforgettable way. I’d wanted to chicken out once we reached the airport, but when I heard a woman celebrating her fiftieth wedding anniversary decided to skydive, I thought that I had the courage to do it, too.
The wind blew louder as we went up further, each second feeling like an eternity（永生）. My heart pounded in my chest quickly. Below me, the world seemed so distant, a patchwork of green fields and shining water. As I watched my children disappear into the vastness, a part of me wanted to scream, to pull them back into the safety of the aircraft. But another part, a deeper part, understood the excitement they sought and the freedom they had although they were afraid before skydiving.
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右；

W: Thanks, everyone. I feel so inspired to donate to educational projects. For my speech, I’d like to introduce my work in historical discoveries. This topic is different from other speeches tonight. But it fits the theme of tonight’s charity event for children. We’ll provide a special history course for all students in the new school we’re building using donations. My team focuses on historical digging. We have helped experts in history worldwide make incredible discoveries. I do most of my work outside the United Sates. In fact, I spent most of my time in Italy. But my most exciting project was researching Terracotta Arm y in Xi’ an, China. Although these ancient statues were first found by farmers decades ago, they quickly became one of the world’s most unique historical sites. There, over 8,000 well-preserved warriors offer a clear view of what soldiers looked like over 2,000 years ago! The most important part of my team’s strategy is learning about the land we’re investigating. Indeed, researching culture and history was the biggest change to my team’s digging strategy. Well, thank you for listening. And let’s hear it for our next speaker, a science expert, who’ll present her impressive work!

第二节
One possible version:
The instructor’s voice showed it was my turn. He guided me to the edge, telling me to relax. I hesitated, my feet feeling like that they were rooted to the floor. But then I remembered my children’s faces and their courage. It was their courage that motivated me to skydive. Taking a deep breath, I inched forward, the wind pulling at my ears. And then, I fell into the blue sky. It was as if I had been freed from all constraints, my body weightless and my soul going up.
My son and daughter rushed to me when I landed. We had an enjoyable three-way hug and they gave me a thumbs-up sign for my courage. It was only one small step to leave the relative safety and comfort of the small plane to throw myself into the wind, but something transformative happened in the sky. I drifted in wonder, but I was surprisingly calm and satisfied, enjoying the freedom. Learning to let go of what appeared safe helped me understand how to overcome fears that held me back.

Karen Keech Swerling worked in Hollywood as a costume designer for three decades. She and her husband were looking for a change of pace in retirement, so eight years ago they traded their house in Malibu for an early 1900s Victorian in Richmond’s museum district. Swerling turned the basement into a studio for her nonprofit organization, Richmond Really Sews!, and she offered free classes to anyone crazy about sewing.
Swerling said, “People chat while they’re sewing and become friends—I love it. Sewing allows us to express where we come from and how we feel. We can’t do that if we go to the store.”
Members of Richmond Really Sews! are people of different backgrounds. Every Saturday afternoon, they gather around 30 work stations with different sewing machines. On Nov. 2nd, they showcased their work at their annual fundraiser, Richmond Frocktails, a fashion show featuring their handmade creations. While Swerling donates her time and talent, she relies on money raised at the event to cover sewing machine maintenance and supplies.
In the spring, the group went to New York City, where they encountered famous fabric designers at Elliott Berman and Metro Textiles. When they returned to Richmond, they received a surprise: a 60-pound box of fabric s from Elliott Berman. “They’re sustainable fabrics from France and Italy and really high-end fabrics,”Swerling said.
Swerling says she loves sharing her knowledge as a way of honoring the teachers at California’s Long Beach City College, where she met a significant teacher, Alicia Annas, who helped her research the business and introduced her to friends in Hollywood.
Swerling’s first project was “Esperanza” with the American Film Institute in 1982．Though unpaid, the work made her known and brought her into the clothing industry so that she was able to go on to design the costumes for The Munsters Today series and the movie Far North. Over the next 33 years, she designed costumes for major feature films and TV shows. Despite her career success, Swerling says she feels the most fulfilled today, passing on her skills to others and keeping the art of sewing alive.
24．What does Swerling say about sewing
A．It cures people of their bad habits. B．It helps those with mental problems.
C．It increases her family’s income. D．It enlarges people’s social circle.
25．Why is Richmond Frocktails held every year

C．To popularize the concept of sewing. D．To expand the organization’s business.

A．Regretful. B．Annoyed. C．Grateful. D．Scared.
27．How did Esperanza impact Swerling
A．It made her famous worldwide. B．It helped her break into the clothing industry.
C．It earned her a lot of money. D．It introduced her to many fabric designers.

Deeply rooted in the oral traditions of indigenous（土著的）communities, indigenous stories carry great significance. Such stories often convey moral lessons, societal norms and the shared wisdom of the community. Through these stories, the younger generations learn about their ancestors, the struggles they faced and the success they achieved. This develops a sense of continuity, strengthening the structure of indigenous societies. Moreover, by listening to and retelling these stories, community members contribute to the survival of indigenous languages.
Indigenous stories serve as windows into the different cultures worldwide. Each story is a unique expression of a community’s worldview, shaped by its history, environment and spiritual beliefs. Through these stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the different ways people view the world. And by telling their stories, indigenous peoples invite others to look into their traditions, developing empathy（共情）and promoting a more interconnected world where different cultures are celebrated and respected.
Many indigenous stories explore themes of creation and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material fields. Through these tales, individuals find a sense of purpose and connection to something greater than themselves. Indigenous stories provide stories of overcoming challenges, of not giving up in the face of hardship, and of the interconnectedness that combines communities together. In this way, storytelling promotes healing on both individual and communal levels.
While indigenous stories are of great importance, their continuation is threatened. For example, the impact of modernization has disturbed traditional storytelling practices. The use of indigenous stories for commercial purposes also hurts their authenticity（真实性）. Fortunately, despite these challenges, there’s a growing global recognition of the need to preserve and reinstate indigenous stories.
Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories. They focus on teaching and bringing endangered languages back, which helps oral stories pass down. Cooperative projects between indigenous communities and external partners, such as researchers and storytellers, contribute to the record and preservation of oral traditions. Digital platforms, podcasts, and interactive media provide opportunities to share indigenous stories with a global audience, raising awareness about the importance of indigenous storytelling.
28．What can be learned about indigenous stories from paragraph 2
A．They promote cross-culture understanding. B．They improve our ability to tell stories.
C．They teach people how to live worldwide. D．They are a symbol of wisdom and spirits.
29．What do indigenous stories mean for people in trouble
A．Signs of identity. B．Sources of strength.
C．Means of survival. D．Forms of pleasure.
30．What does the underlined word “reinstate” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Learn. B．Adapt. C．Interpret. D．Restore.
31．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Ways to share stories with the audience. B．Impacts of the interactive mass media.
C．Efforts to preserve indigenous stories. D．Attitudes towards passing down stories.

Everything including 3D printers is bigger in Texas. The Lone Star State will soon be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has begun construction in the desert north of Marfa. Photos of the site show a large 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. This machine, called the Vulcan, was created by Texas-based 3D printing and robotics company ICON.
The project is a cooperation between Liz Lambert, El Cosmico’s owner, ICON and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group. Lambert wants to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new units and 18 homes on a new 40-acre land. Model images of the hotel’s inside part show cream walls and rounded wooden surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. In addition to the hotel, El Cosmico will include several 3D-printed homes, which are now priced for $2.29 million. It’s reported that the hotel units will cost between $200 and $450 per night.
The structures’ walls are made of a concrete called “lavacrete”, a particular low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive（压力的）strength of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch.
ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has since been used to build 3D-printed homes in Texas and Mexico. Besides printing houses and hotels, a few years ago, ICON built Mars Dune Alpha, a 3D-printed environment that copied conditions on the Red Planet’s surface. In 2022, the company got a $57 million contract for their Project Olympus, which is exploring ways to build 3D-printed structures on the moon using locally available materials.
Back on Earth, this 3D-printing technology has the potential to help deal with America’s affordable housing problem. In 2020, ICON constructed several houses for the Community First! Village in Austin, a program for people experiencing homelessness.
In the future, the expansion of El Cosmico may include affordable housing for hotel staff. Lambert said these plans were “in the background” but still moving forward. Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026.
32．What is a feature of the 3D-printed hotel
A．It is out of place from the surroundings. B．It’s the result of a single company’s effort.
C．It is eco-friendly as well as strong. D．It is surrounded by wooden houses.
33．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Mars Dune Alpha
A．To illustrate ICON’s strong technology. B．To push the protection of the environment.
C．To recommend a high-end printed hotel. D．To urge people to learn 3D-printed structures.
34．What is ICON’s technology intended to do
A．Print food for the homeless. B．Offer hotel staff chances to travel.
C．Create smart robots in space. D．Address America’s housing crisis.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．ICON: Leading in 3D-Printing Technology B．El Cosmico: A Large Hotel Being 3D-Printed
C．Housing Crisis: A Big Issue in America D．ICON’s Lavacrete: Changing Construction

The history of self-publishing dates back to the creation of the movable type printing press. Around 1439, German inventor Johannes Gutenberg introduced this technology in Europe. Before this, books were copied. The printing press allowed for the mass production of books, making it practical for individuals to publish their own works. At first, self-publishing wasn’t common. 36 By the 18th century, famous individuals like Benjamin Franklin published works like Poor Richard’s Almanack, showing the potential and influence of self-publishing.
With the arrival of digital technology, self-publishing has experienced a revolution（革新）. Print-on-demand services, pioneered by companies like Xlibris and AuthorHouse, appeared in the late 1990s. 37 The launch of Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing（KDP）brought another significant change. KDP made it easy for authors to publish e-books and reach a global audience.
The shift from physical books to e-books marks one of the key moments in self-publishing. 38 With the help of online platforms, authors can upload manuscripts（稿件）and make them available to millions of readers almost immediately. Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have become necessary tools for self-published authors. 39 What’s more, author platforms have also appeared, providing resources and networks to support self-publishing efforts.
40 Enhanced layout software and design tools make it easier for authors to create polished books without extensive skills. AI tools are changing how authors edit their manuscripts. This enables faster production and higher quality. Overall, self-publishing is developing rapidly with new technological advancements.

A new study by researchers from the University of Toronto, Hangzhou Normal University and Harvard University has found that 56 （simple）expressing trust in young children can promote their honesty.
Conducted through 57 series of field experiments with 328 kindergarteners, the international study was intended to know whether children were less likely to cheat in a simple test of counting accuracy if the adult 58 （direct）the test had previously conveyed her trust in them. The results showed that when adults trusted children to help with small tasks, such as holding their house keys, and 59 （express）that they would trust them in the future, the children were significantly less likely to cheat on a subsequent test compared to children 60 weren’t given such trust messages.
“We were astonished by how powerful an effect a simple expression of trust had 61 children’s subsequent honesty was,” said Professor Li Zhao of Hangzhou Normal University. “It seems that even at a young age, children understand the value of trust and are willing to behave more honestly in response to feeling 62 （trust）.”

第二节（满分25分）
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。
The side door of the small aircraft was opened wide, and the wind rushed through the cargo hold（货仓）. Packed tightly were fourteen silent people. Two of them were my adult children. Holding themselves perfectly still, they stared out at the endless sky.
When we reached a height of 4,300 feet, my son’s face turned pale as he carefully inched next to the opening, leaned（倾斜）sideways, and fell out of the airplane. Something went cold in my heart when I realized he was gone. But, only seconds later, instructions were being barked, and my daughter suddenly appeared in the same space just occupied by my son. She seemed a little nervous and then fell away into the wild blue sky after her brother.
For a quick moment, a desperate fear overcame me, and I wondered if that was the last time I would see them and whether they would land safely. But the thought soon passed as I felt a strong pull on my pack and was moved into position by our instructor.
With a big birthday approaching, two of my adult children had chosen to surprise me with an unforgettable way. I’d wanted to chicken out once we reached the airport, but when I heard a woman celebrating her fiftieth wedding anniversary decided to skydive, I thought that I had the courage to do it, too.
The wind blew louder as we went up further, each second feeling like an eternity（永生）. My heart pounded in my chest quickly. Below me, the world seemed so distant, a patchwork of green fields and shining water. As I watched my children disappear into the vastness, a part of me wanted to scream, to pull them back into the safety of the aircraft. But another part, a deeper part, understood the excitement they sought and the freedom they had although they were afraid before skydiving.

W: Thanks, everyone. I feel so inspired to donate to educational projects. For my speech, I’d like to introduce my work in historical discoveries. This topic is different from other speeches tonight. But it fits the theme of tonight’s charity event for children. We’ll provide a special history course for all students in the new school we’re building using donations. My team focuses on historical digging. We have helped experts in history worldwide make incredible discoveries. I do most of my work outside the United Sates. In fact, I spent most of my time in Italy. But my most exciting project was researching Terracotta Arm y in Xi’ an, China. Although these ancient statues were first found by farmers decades ago, they quickly became one of the world’s most unique historical sites. There, over 8,000 well-preserved warriors offer a clear view of what soldiers looked like over 2,000 years ago! The most important part of my team’s strategy is learning about the land we’re investigating. Indeed, researching culture and history was the biggest change to my team’s digging strategy.

第一节
One possible version:
Good morning, everyone,
I’m excited to share with you the successful launch of China’s Shenzhou-19 spacecraft. It soared into the night sky at 4:27 am Beijing time on Oct 30, 2024．This event marks a significant milestone in our space exploration journey, showcasing our country’s technological power and commitment to scientific advancement. Meanwhile, not only is it a victory for China, but it is also a step forward for humanity’s understanding of the universe. I am so proud of this achievement, which inspires me to study hard and dream big. Hopefully, all of us students can embrace the spirit of exploration and innovation.
Thank you!
第二节
One possible version:
The instructor’s voice showed it was my turn. He guided me to the edge, telling me to relax. I hesitated, my feet feeling like that they were rooted to the floor. But then I remembered my children’s faces and their courage. It was their courage that motivated me to skydive. Taking a deep breath, I inched forward, the wind pulling at my ears. And then, I fell into the blue sky. It was as if I had been freed from all constraints, my body weightless and my soul going up.
My son and daughter rushed to me when I landed. We had an enjoyable three-way hug and they gave me a thumbs-up sign for my courage. It was only one small step to leave the relative safety and comfort of the small plane to throw myself into the wind, but something transformative happened in the sky. I drifted in wonder, but I was surprisingly calm and satisfied, enjoying the freedom. Learning to let go of what appeared safe helped me understand how to overcome fears that held me back.
