With pet ownership becoming more popular, being saddened by the loss of a beloved pet is becoming a terrible headache. Li Peng, a woolen felt craftswoman, has found a unique way to preserve the memory of dead pets by creating realistic woolen images.
Li’s journey into this craft is accidental. During her college years, she majored in e-commerce and worked part time at a pet store. One day, while visiting a website, she came upon a small fox made entirely of wool. Astonished at its delicacy, she set off on a self-taught journey in this art form. In late 2019, Li Peng made the firm decision to start her own business and pursue wool felting as a full-time profession.
While a video showcasing the work may only take a few minutes to watch, the actual process is far more intricate. The three-dimensional creations feature genuine fur, lifelike glass eyes and tiny whiskers, each one individually secured by hand. To achieve a vivid effect, she repeatedly sticks layers of wool with a needle, winding the loose fibers together to create solid felted shapes. The key is massive patience.
The handcrafted creations satisfy her desire to convey love. The majority of her customers are pet owners who have experienced the loss of their beloved companions. They send Li photographs and even their pets’ hair, hoping to freeze the appearance of their furry friends through her wool felting models. Fascinated by the deep bond between people and their pets, she is committed to grabbing and investing these emotions in her artworks. And it turns out that the career is a success. Orders are often scheduled for one year later, and she has gained substantial attention through social media.
Reflecting on her work, Li expresses her desire to create meaningful pieces using the warm material, offering a heartfelt gift of warmth to the beautiful souls of this world.
24. What inspired Li Peng to take up wool felting as a career
A. A temporary job at a pet shop. B. Her self-study art course.
C. A discovery of an alternative to fiber. D. A woolen creation online.
25. What does the underlined word "intricate" mean in paragraph 3
A. Confusing. B. Efficient. C. Complicated. D. Effortless.
26. Who are Li Peng's primary clients
A. Conservationists of animal rights. B. Individuals fond of furry toys.
C. Distributors providing personalized service. D. People suffering from pet loss.
27. What's the important factor behind Li Peng's success
A. Fair product pricing. B. Human-pet attachment.
C. Smart network marketing. D. Hunger for a fine reputation.
C
Bacteria know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle through, and a kitchen sponge would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life.
Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction.
Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about
In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 - 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.”
This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case.
28. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen.
B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment.
C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria.
D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance.
29. What did Lingchong You find in his study
A. How sponges are exactly structured.
B. What encourages bacterial growth.
C. How bacteria react to the environment.
D. Why bacteria keep company with each other.
30. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges
A. Relatively harmless. B. Poorly adaptive.
C. Surprisingly unpleasant. D. Widely distributed.
31. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph
A. Proofs of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria
C. Methods to control bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria.
D
Social media provides materialists with perfect opportunities to compare themselves with others, which makes them subject to passive and addictive user behavior. This stresses them out and, ultimately, leads to low life satisfaction, according to a new study.
The researchers headed by Dr. Phillip Ozimek from Germany employed 1,230 people for their online survey. In order to participate, respondents had to visit at least one social media channel at least once a week. On average, the participants stated they spent just over two hours a day on social media.
The team used six different questionnaires to determine the extent to which the participants had a materialistic attitude and tended to compare themselves with others, whether they used social media more actively or passively, whether they were addicted to social media, how stressed and how satisfied they were with their lives.
“The data showed a stronger materialistic approach goes hand in hand with a tendency to compare oneself with others,” points out Ozimek. This comparison is easy to make on social media, primarily through passive use—by looking at the content posted by other users. Materialism and passive use were also linked to addictive use of social media.
“Users are constantly thinking about the respective channels and fear they’re missing out on something if they aren’t online,” explains Ozimek. “This in turn leads to poorer mental health like stress. The final link in the chain is reduced life satisfaction.”
“Overall, the study provides further evidence that the use of social media is associated with risks, especially for people with a highly materialistic mindset,” says the psychologist. “This is particularly worrying, because social media can stimulate and increase materialistic values through influencer marketing. Meanwhile, the platforms attract materialists anyway, as they’re a perfect way to satisfy materialistic needs.”
“It’s definitely a good idea to be aware of the amount of time you spend on social media and to reduce it,” recommends Ozimek, who advises against giving up social media completely. “If you did, you’re likely to over-correct.” He also suggests recording materialism and social media use in patients undergoing treatment for mental health disorders. “While these factors are often irrelevant, they can be a starting point for additional interventions patients can try out at home.”
32. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Virtual World, the Real Danger
B. Showing Superiority Causes Heavy Media Use
C. More Social Media Materialism, Less Happiness
D. Materialistic Values: A Stepping Stone to Discontent
33. To qualify for the survey, a participant must
A. be a big spender
B. specialize in data analysis
C. be a regular social media user
D. upload web surfing history
34. What kind of feeling is expressed by Ozimek in paragraph 6
A. Pessimism. B. Sympathy. C. Shock. D. Concern.
35. What does Ozimek propose concerning using social media
A. Restricting the time spent. B. Logging onto well-rated websites.
C. Quitting it for good. D. Banning patients from using it.

第五部分：写作
Dear Zhang Liang,
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling confused about your new high school life. Setting clear learning goals can be a great way to find your direction.
Firstly, having goals is necessary because they give you a clear sense of purpose and motivate you to move forward. Without goals, it's easy to waste time and feel lost. Secondly, to set effective goals, you should make them specific and achievable. For example, instead of "improve English," aim for "learn 20 new English words each week." Also, break big goals into smaller steps and review your progress regularly.
I believe that with clear goals, you will quickly adapt to high school life and achieve great things.
Yours,
Li Hua

With pet ownership becoming more popular, being saddened by the loss of a beloved pet is becoming a terrible headache. Li Peng, a woolen felt craftswoman, has found a unique way to preserve the memory of dead pets by creating realistic woolen images.
Li’s journey into this craft is accidental. During her college years, she majored in e-commerce and worked part time at a pet store. One day, while visiting a website, she came upon a small fox made entirely of wool. Astonished at its delicacy, she set off on a self-taught journey in this art form. In late 2019, Li Peng made the firm decision to start her own business and pursue wool felting as a full-time profession.
While a video showcasing the work may only take a few minutes to watch, the actual process is far more intricate. The three-dimensional creations feature genuine fur, lifelike glass eyes and tiny whiskers, each one individually secured by hand. To achieve a vivid effect, she repeatedly sticks layers of wool with a needle, winding the loose fibers together to create solid felted shapes. The key is massive patience.
The handcrafted creations satisfy her desire to convey love. The majority of her customers are pet owners who have experienced the loss of their beloved companions. They send Li photographs and even their pets’ hair, hoping to freeze the appearance of their furry friends through her wool felting models. Fascinated by the deep bond between people and their pets, she is committed to grabbing and investing these emotions in her artworks. And it turns out that the career is a success. Orders are often scheduled for one year later, and she has gained substantial attention through social media.
Reflecting on her work, Li expresses her desire to create meaningful pieces using the warm material, offering a heartfelt gift of warmth to the beautiful souls of this world.
24. What inspired Li Peng to take up wool felting as a career
A. A temporary job at a pet shop. B. Her self-study art course.
C. A discovery of an alternative to fiber. D. A woolen creation online.
25. What does the underlined word "intricate" mean in paragraph 3
A. Confusing. B. Efficient. C. Complicated. D. Effortless.
26. Who are Li Peng's primary clients
A. Conservationists of animal rights. B. Individuals fond of furry toys.
C. Distributors providing personalized service. D. People suffering from pet loss.
27. What's the important factor behind Li Peng's success
A. Fair product pricing. B. Human-pet attachment.
C. Smart network marketing. D. Hunger for a fine reputation.

Bacteria know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle through, and a kitchen sponge would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life.
Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction.
Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about
In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 - 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.”
This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case.
28. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen.
B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment.
C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria.
D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance.
29. What did Lingchong You find in his study
A. How sponges are exactly structured.
B. What encourages bacterial growth.
C. How bacteria react to the environment.
D. Why bacteria keep company with each other.
30. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges
A. Relatively harmless. B. Poorly adaptive.
C. Surprisingly unpleasant. D. Widely distributed.
31. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph
A. Proofs of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria
C. Methods to control bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria.
D
Social media provides materialists with perfect opportunities to compare themselves with others, which makes them subject to passive and addictive user behavior. This stresses them out and, ultimately, leads to low life satisfaction, according to a new study.
The researchers headed by Dr. Phillip Ozimek from Germany employed 1,230 people for their online survey. In order to participate, respondents had to visit at least one social media channel at least once a week. On average, the participants stated they spent just over two hours a day on social media.
The team used six different questionnaires to determine the extent to which the participants had a materialistic attitude and tended to compare themselves with others, whether they used social media more actively or passively, whether they were addicted to social media, how stressed and how satisfied they were with their lives.
“The data showed a stronger materialistic approach goes hand in hand with a tendency to compare oneself with others,” points out Ozimek. This comparison is easy to make on social media, primarily through passive use—by looking at the content posted by other users. Materialism and passive use were also linked to addictive use of social media.
“Users are constantly thinking about the respective channels and fear they’re missing out on something if they aren’t online,” explains Ozimek. “This in turn leads to poorer mental health like stress. The final link in the chain is reduced life satisfaction.”
“Overall, the study provides further evidence that the use of social media is associated with risks, especially for people with a highly materialistic mindset,” says the psychologist. “This is particularly worrying, because social media can stimulate and increase materialistic values through influencer marketing. Meanwhile, the platforms attract materialists anyway, as they’re a perfect way to satisfy materialistic needs.”
“It’s definitely a good idea to be aware of the amount of time you spend on social media and to reduce it,” recommends Ozimek, who advises against giving up social media completely. “If you did, you’re likely to over-correct.” He also suggests recording materialism and social media use in patients undergoing treatment for mental health disorders. “While these factors are often irrelevant, they can be a starting point for additional interventions patients can try out at home.”
32. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Virtual World, the Real Danger
B. Showing Superiority Causes Heavy Media Use
C. More Social Media Materialism, Less Happiness
D. Materialistic Values: A Stepping Stone to Discontent
33. To qualify for the survey, a participant must
A. be a big spender
B. specialize in data analysis
C. be a regular social media user
D. upload web surfing history
34. What kind of feeling is expressed by Ozimek in paragraph 6
A. Pessimism. B. Sympathy. C. Shock. D. Concern.
35. What does Ozimek propose concerning using social media
A. Restricting the time spent. B. Logging onto well-rated websites.
C. Quitting it for good. D. Banning patients from using it.

第五部分：写作
Dear Zhang Liang,
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling confused about your new high school life. Setting clear learning goals can be a great way to find your direction.
Firstly, having goals is necessary because they give you a clear sense of purpose and motivate you to move forward. Without goals, it's easy to waste time and feel lost. Secondly, to set effective goals, you should make them specific and achievable. For example, instead of "improve English," aim for "learn 20 new English words each week." Also, break big goals into smaller steps and review your progress regularly.
I believe that with clear goals, you will quickly adapt to high school life and achieve great things.
Yours,
Li Hua
