It's called the Chip Bag Project.As a student and 31 she is asking local snack lovers a 32 : Rather than throw empty chip bags 33 into the trash, 34 them! Then she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip 35 drop off their empty bags at two 36 : a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize (清洁) the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, 37them flat, and iron them together. They 38 fillings to line the insides (做内衬).
It takes about four hours to 39 a sleeping bag, and each takes around150 to 300 chi p bags, depending on whether they' re single-serve or family40 . The 41 is a sleeping bag that is“waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has 42 more than 800,000 chip bags and, 43 last December, created 110 sleeping bags.

But the project is only half the 45 for Oleita whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life —— and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only 46 but environmentally,” she says.
And, of course, there's the symbolism of recycling bags that would 47land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It's a powerful 48that environmental 49 and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told local , “I think it's time to show 50 between these issues.”

四、阅读理解(共15个小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
A
The TV room at the south end of our house is like a black hole: It's the place where things often end up if there's. no other place to put them, or if I can't decide whether to throw them away. As such, it's a land of perfectly serviceable cardboard boxes, old magazines saved for the recipes I will never try, shoes that are just about but not quite worn out, a wood stove I rarely light and other odds and ends.
Just the other night, I heard a scratching sound coming from the TV room. I went out to have a look, but of course there was no sound when I got there. But after I had gone to bed, it was loud enough to wake me.
The next morning at breakfast the scratching continued even as I entered the room, long enough for me to identify the source, which was the stovepipe leading from the wood stove. Ever so carefully, I approached and opened the stove's front doors. There it was — a surprised, little squirrel, looking straight up at me.
I immediately shut the stove doors and considered what to do. I didn't want to kill it, so I decided I would give it an easy escape route.
I closed the door to the kitchen and opened the outside door. It was a windy,freezing day, and the cold air immediately rushed in. I threw the stove doors open,stepped back and waited — but not for long. The squirrel jumped out of the stove,but it was upset and didn't head outside. Instead, it tore through my magazines in piles, ran up the curtains, and then broke my collection of soda bottles, sending several crashing to the floor. The animal was in a complete affright, and all I could do was stand back and hope it would leave.
It finally dawned on me that I was probably the thing scaring it into a panic.So, I quickly left the room. When I returned it had gone. Job done.
All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer. I' made a great effort in making the room tidy. Finally, I had the clean, inviting space I had planned to have all along.
51. What does the author mean by describing the TV room as“a black hole”

53. What does the word“affright” mean in Para.5

One thing the tour books don't tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world.
“The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia,Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York's Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats(麝鼠), shrews(鼩睛) and flying squirrels.A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country's largest populations of raccoon now lives in Washington D. C., and moose(驼鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U. S. cities to prey on pigeons.
Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent 750,000 to buy land and build10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict(荒废的) lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.
For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings(悬崖栖息地). By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food.
Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated.Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain(保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.
56. The passage mentions a significant increase in mammal species in New York's Central Park to .
A. Highlight the unexpected diversity found in small urban parks.
B. Provide evidence supporting the claim that wildlife in urban areas is increasing.
C. Contrast the wildlife success in New York with the failure in other cities.
D. Argue that shrews and flying squirrels are better adapted to cities than foxes.
57. Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife is returning to the cities
A. Food is plentiful in the cities.
B. Wildlife is threatened by predators in the wild.
C. Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities
D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities
58. The underlined word“tallied” in Para.2 means .
A. Distinguished B. described C. counted D. excluded
59. The example of San Francisco testing rainwater basins implies that .
A. Cities prioritize bird attraction over clean water management:
B. Ecological benefits and practical functions cannot be achieved at the same time.
C. Wildlife habitats in cities can be designed to serve dual purposes.
D. Birds are the best indicator species for urban water cleanliness.
60. What is the passage mainly about
A. Wildlife returning to large cities
B. Foxes returning to London
C. Wild animals living in zoos
D. A survey of wildlife in New York
C
Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”
People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves If it's true that you can't please all people all of the time, wouldn't it make sense to stop trying
Unfortunately, sense often isn't driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self-worth is dependent upon whether we win someone's approval or not.
This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn't like him or her,there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it's being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment.
As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek,your need for external validation(认同) will start to disappear, leaving you stronger,more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose every time we restrict our true selves in an effort to be liked..
If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves,because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliché(老话) and love yourself as it's highly doubtful that you' ll regret it.
61. What can we conclude from Lao Zi's quotation
A. We should see through others' attempt to make a prisoner of us.
B. We can never be. truly free if taking to heart others' opinion of us.
C. We can never really please others even if we try as hard as we can.
D. We should care about others' view as much as they care about our own.
62. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people's approval
A. Our desire to be loved will be fulfilled,
B. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting.
C. Our identity as social beings will be affected.`
D. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced.
63. What may account. for our need to be liked or approved of
A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others.
B. Our understanding of the workings of the world.
C. Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment.
D. Our early childhood fear of being deserted.
64. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval
A. Enjoy a happier life.
B. Exercise self-restriction.
C. Receive more external validation.
D. Strengthen our power of imagination.
65. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Embrace life for ourselves and for others.
B. Base our worth on others' opinions.
C. See our experiences as resources.
D. Love ourselves as we are.

In Sichuan Province, long-time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve, is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware(漆器) skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations.
Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist.
Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China.
Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture(自治州) in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew.
“I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I've never seen their villages. It's only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent.
This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent's exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path: the ideas of a modern artist, but rooting the ancient skills in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.”
66. What is Vincent devoted to according to the text (no more than 15 words)
67. What does the underlined word“unravel” in paragraph 2 mean (1 word)
68. Why did Vincent travel to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (no more than10 words)
