When planning her outfit for an upcoming awards ceremony, Lily Murphy was concerned about two things— how much she spent on clothes and the impact on the environment. The solution was to rent a dress from someone.
Using an app called HURR, Murphy rented a dress to attend her event. As a younger generation of consumers takes a more sustainable approach to what it wears and also demands to have fresh looks for its social media posts, networks that link buyers and sellers have emerged.
By Rotation, a London-based company, was started in 2019 by Eshita Kabra, who was concerned about the
high levels of textile waste she saw. Users can borrow or lend designer dresses and bags, with the option of the item either posted or collected.
HURR, which Murphy used, operates in a similar way. Pieces have to be less than two years old and in
“excellent condition”. The rental fee is based on the price of the piece, and the fees are 15 percent for both sides. There is also a service fee of 5.15, a dry-cleaning charge of 10, shipping of 10 and a damage protection fee of 5, which is optional.
If something is damaged, the owner can bill the borrower through By Rotation. “If they refuse to pay, the
borrower’s details can be handed over to the lender for them to pursue the matter in the small claims court,
although this has not happened yet,” Kabra says. HURR founder Victoria Prew says borrowers are asked to pay the market value if an item is damaged beyond repair.
What you won’t find on the new generation of lending apps are high-street brands where shoppers can buy pieces for the same amount they would pay to rent a high-end piece.
4. What do we know about By Rotation
A. Its items are less than two years old.
B. Borrowers can’t find high-street brands there.
第 4页/共 17页
C. The owner of clothes often bills the borrower.
D. Its items can only be collected by the borrower.
5. If you rent a dress priced at 100 on HURR and have it posted to you, how much would you pay at least
A. 40.15. B. 45.15. C. 50.15. D. 60.15.
6. People choose to rent clothes for the following reasons EXCEPT .
A. spending less on clothes B. reducing their environmental impact
C. having access to high-street brands D. having more fresh looks for social media post
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How to rent clothes online
B. The effects of renting clothes
C. Clothes-rental apps are taking off
D. The best clothes-rental companies: HURR and By Rotation
C
There’s so much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. When plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. Moreover, the CO2 in the
atmosphere is much more dilute than in, for example, waste gas from a power station or a steel plant. Capturing CO2 from the air is the most expensive application of carbon capture.
Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one type of technological carbon removal, which obtains CO2 directly from the
atmosphere, at any location, unlike carbon capture which is generally carried out at the point of emissions. The CO2 can be permanently stored in deep geological formations or used for a variety of applications.
Graphyte is a US company working on DAC. The company claims its carbon capture method is cheap, mainly because it lets plants do the work. The company collects unwanted wood products from farmers and furniture
companies. It dries this “biomass” completely so that it can’t break down. Graphyte then smashes (打碎) the dried plants into small bricks which it seals in a special wrapper and buries deep underground.
Graphyte says its process doesn’t use much energy and can work anywhere. The plant and tree material the process uses would release carbon if it wasn’t treated. And the cost is less than $100 to capture a ton of CO2. The company is building a factory, but it’s not running yet.
Not everyone is excited about carbon removal. Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC
technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But
第 5页/共 17页
experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of
the air.
8. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the first paragraph
A. Trees can purify the air in the sky.
B. Plants release more carbon dioxide.
C. Removing carbon from the air is challenging. D. CO2 emission reduction is urgently needed.
9. What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Beneficial. B. Thin. C. Harmful. D. Concentrated.
10. What can we know about Graphyte’s DAC project
A. Its cost is relatively low.
B. It is in good operation now.
C Its working condition is demanding.
D. It turns carbon into building materials.
11. What is the experts’ opinion about DAC technology
A. It will make a difference soon.
B. It can replace renewable energy in time.
C. It will result in more environmental concerns.
D. It can work together with other climate measures.
D
Why are some people more motivated to handle difficult things And is there a way to make doing difficult things easy To answer this question, we need to look at this: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is often considered a pleasure molecule. But that’s not quite what it does. Dopamine is what makes us desire things. And it’s that desire that gives us the motivation to get up and do stuff.
In fact, your brain develops priorities in large part based on how much dopamine it’s expecting to get. If an activity releases too little dopamine, you won’t have much motivation to do it. But if an activity releases a lot of dopamine, you’ll be motivated to repeat it, over and over. So which behavior releases dopamine Any activity
where you anticipate there’s a potential reward releases it.
And in today’s digital society, we are flooding our brains with unnaturally high amounts of dopamine on a
第 6页/共 17页
media websites, playing video games, etc.
And you might think, “Oh so what It’s not like it’s harming me in any way.” But you’d be wrong. Our bodies have a biological system called homeostasis (体内动态平衡). Whenever an imbalance occurs, our body adapts to it. Essentially, your brain gets used to having high levels of dopamine and those levels become your new normal.
Thus you develop a dopamine tolerance. This can be a huge problem because the things that don’t give you as
much dopamine don’t interest you any longer. That’s why people tend to prefer playing video games or browsing the Internet, compared to studying or working on their business.
But it is possible to make doing difficult things feel easier. Separate yourself from the unnaturally high
amounts of dopamine, or at least expose yourself to it far less frequently. Only then will normal, everyday, low
dopamine activities become exciting again and you’ll be able to do them for longer. That’s why you might want to limit your phone and computer usage, along with other high dopamine-releasing behavior.
We are all dopamine addicts to a certain extent. And that’s a good thing because dopamine motivates us to achieve our goals and improve ourselves. But it’s up to you to decide where you’re going to get your dopamine. Are you going to get it from things that don’t benefit you Or are you going to get it from working on your
long-term goals The choice is yours.
12. When is dopamine released
A. When we have the motivation to do stuff. B. When potential rewards can be obtained.
C. When we take pleasure in the behavior. D. When difficult things come into being.
13. What can we learn from the text
A. Dopamine does great harm to our body. B. It’s hard for our body to keep the balance.
C. Dopamine tolerance keeps us away from games. D. Video games produce more dopamine than study.
14. What is the purpose of paragraph 5
A. To offer solutions to dopamine tolerance. B. To introduce the effects of dopamine.
C. To explain why dopamine is harmful. D. To stress the importance of dopamine.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward dopamine
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.

They used magnetic pulses (磁脉冲) to deliberately disrupt these areas in language learners. “Our results provide neuroscientific evidence for why learning techniques that involve the body’s motor system should be used more often,” neuroscientist Brian Mathias said in a news release.
As Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were at the same time shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word.
17 .
____
Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a multiple-choice test. 18 . The device sent weak magnetic pulses to their primary motor cortex (皮层) — the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. When these interfering signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures.
When the device sent no interfering signals, they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. 19 .
The effect did not occur when the test subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures when learning vocabulary. In contrast, children — unlike adults — seem to benefit from pictures as much as gestures in the long run. 20 . But it is not only the motor component itself that promotes learning.
A. They will receive interfering signals constantly
B. This is the conclusion a research team reached
C. It can be helpful for us to study adults’ memory
D. This applied to concrete words as well as abstract ones
E. At the same time, they had a device attached to their heads
F. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves
G. The study indicates the adult brain uses motor areas to remember foreign-language words

“The student with the lowest grade in my class ended up winning it,” says Kahn. “And I realized this was

That was the year 1999. 26 by the club’s potential to appeal to students Kahn created an
after-school spoken-word club at a high school. And for over 20 years, the club has created 27 for
students to participate in storytelling. Many students have gone on to become 28 poets, scholars, or even National Youth Poet Winners.
“‘ 29 the microphone’ was something we originally said in the club when people were talking in the
audience, and it became a 30 for the club,” says Dan Sullivan, who went from planning to 31 school on his 17th birthday to starring in and helping set up the club in 1999.
For Kahn, the 32 was all about helping students like Sullivan at the time who just didn’t

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Hexi Corridor, 36 (locate) in the northwest of China, stretches from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the north to Qinghai Province in the south. It is 37 narrow and long strip of land, sandwiched between the Qilian Mountains and the Beishan Mountains, with the Taklamakan Desert to the west.
The geographical environment of the Hexi Corridor is very unique. Due to its inland location, the climate is dry and rainfall is scarce, leading to a scarcity of surface water resources in the Hexi Corridor, with most areas being desert and arid land. Some oasis areas, however, are still suitable for agriculture and human habitation due to the 38 (exist) of groundwater resources.
39 (date) back to ancient times, this region is a joint for multiple ethnic groups and cultures. During the Han Dynasty, it was one of the empire’s expansion targets. During the Qing Dynasty, the Hexi Corridor once again became an important conquest target.
The Hexi Corridor, as a key gateway connecting different regions, is 40 civilizations from the different cultures and backgrounds converge (汇 聚). 41 an important part of the Silk Road, the Hexi Corridor plays a crucial role in the cultural and trade exchanges between the East and the West. Goods from the Central Plains, as well as the 42 (high) developed paper, printing, and gunpowder culture of the Han ethnic group, 43 (export) through the Hexi Corridor to the western regions in ancient times. Merchants from West Asia, the Middle East, and Western Europe also passed through the Hexi Corridor, transporting jewelry, grapes, walnuts, and fine breeds of horses to Chang’an and Luoyang.
The Hexi Corridor is not only a hub of trade 44 also a fusion of beliefs Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism cultures coexist here. The blending of various cultural elements has turned the Hexi Corridor into an art corridor, where sculptures, colored statues, and murals shine brightly.
The rise and fall of the Hexi Corridor is like a microcosm of this old country, in 45 legends and technology, the past and the future, have intertwined in a marvelous way on this land.

It was the midterm of senior one. Tim, a determined but easily-frustrated student, was facing a big challenge in math. His previous test scores were far from satisfactory, which made him quite worried about the coming
mid-term exam. He spent hours every day doing math exercises, but the more he practiced, the more confused he became.
One day, after another disappointing practice test, Tim almost gave up. He sat alone in the empty classroom, staring blankly at the test paper full of red crosses. Just then, his math teacher, Mr. Smith, came in. Noticing Tim’s distress, Mr. Smith sat beside him and said softly, “Tim, I know you’ve been working hard. Everyone has setbacks in learning. The key is not to be defeated by them.” With that, Mr. Smith patiently went through the test paper with Tim, explaining the mistakes one by one and giving him some useful study tips.
Encouraged by Mr. Smith, Tim decided to change his learning method. He started to make a detailed study
plan, dividing the math knowledge into small parts and solving problems step by step. He also joined a study group in the class. In the study group, he could discuss difficult questions with his classmates.
As the mid-term exam was approaching, Tim was both nervous and looking forward to it. On the day before the exam, while he was doing the last-minute review, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. The headache got
worse and worse, making it impossible for him to concentrate. 注意：

【答案】One possible version:
Good morning, everyone! May I have your attention please A survey with regard to ways of memorizing vocabulary was conducted last week with the intention of presenting students with the most preferred and instructive methods of grasping new words. Interesting results were revealed.
In the first place, students’ approaches to learning words varied from individual to individual. As evidently illustrated from the findings, as high as 65% of classmates surveyed showed a stronger preference for word lists, relying on frequent repetition. By contrast, around 30% of the respondents found it a more desirable choice to turn to apps, which made learning intriguing and enjoyable. Most frustratingly, learning words through reading turned out to be a less popular alternative, only accounting for 4%.
From my perspective, not only should we review regularly, but we should also use words in sentences. It is context that helps us remember deeply. Try reading English books or watching movies, where you can encounter natural expressions. Remember, practicing is the key to success.

【47 题答案】
【答案】 Tim was too anxious about the exam to fall asleep, eventhough he knew he needed a good rest. His mind blank and heart messy, he was at such a complete loss that he had no clue about what action to take. He buried his face in the quilt, tears blurring his eyes for a long time and finally overflowing almost uncontrollably as waves of frustration swept over him. The harder he strove to compose himself, the more restless and distracted he
felt. Just at this critical moment, the louder ring of the phone broke the silence when anxiety had almost
overwhelmed him. It turned out to be his math teacher. Mr. Smith encouraged him, “Tim, don’t be stressed. You have started diligently and made remarkable progress these days.” His timely encouragement was as comforting as a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds of his anxiety. Tim took a deep breath, gradually calmed down and finally managed to get some sleep.
The next day Tim went to the exam room with Mr. Smith’s encouragement. Pregnant with a mix of worry and
determination, Tim unfolded the test paper. The instant his eyes landed on the paper, he found the problems
manageable and accessible to tackle. For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language but more like a puzzle waiting to be solved. With Mr. Smith’s encouragement echoing in his mind and a newfound sense of
confidence cultivated, he solved all the problems smoothly. Upon the release of the results, he got a much more satisfactory grade. A look of relief tinged with excitement appeared on his face. It dawned on him that with the courage to continue in the face of adversity, even the hardest challenges could be victories.
