As wildfires burned across Los Angeles County, sisters-in-law Randi Jaffe and Jenny Jaffe started the LA Lost Stuffy Project, which collects money to buy new stuffed toys (毛绒玩具) for children who lost theirs.
Randi said the idea for the project came to her because as a child life expert and a mom of two, she knows first-hand how important comfort items (安抚物品) can be for kids. “We know that comfort items matter a lot to children of all ages,” she added. “When families lose their homes and are experiencing sadness, there’s no control at all. So, this is such a small way to give kids back their control.”
For Emily Balliet, whose home burned down in the wildfires, the work of the LA Lost Stuffy Project has brought “light” to her family during what she described as a “dark time”. The group gave a stuffed gift, named Horn, to Balliet’s 4-year-old son Yves to match the one he once had. “This was a reminder that there are good people out there who really want to offer help in a thoughtful way,” Balliet said. She shared that Yves had missed his favorite stuffed animal but when he received the new Horn, he was filled with joy.
When a family reaches out to the LA Lost Stuffy Project to ask for a new comfort item, the Jaffes will work to find the item and ship it to the family. If a donor (捐赠者) wishes to personally shop for a comfort item to donate, the Jaffes will connect a family in need with the donor and share information with their agreement.
The Jaffes hope more people hear about the project so they can reach more families. “The biggest need right now is to spread the word to the LA families,” said Jenny, also a mom. “We’re waiting with money to be able to buy more and send them out. The whole world is behind the kids and wishing to offer support in small and big ways.”
4. Why did Randi Jaffe decide to create the LA Lost Stuffy Project
A. To collect toys for local charities.
B. To help families rebuild their houses.
C. To connect with other child life experts.
D. To give support to kids during disasters.
5. What did Emily Balliet realize from her experience with the project
A. The market value of stuffed toys.
B. The role of parents ’understanding.
C. The power of community kindness.
D. The importance of fire safety education.
6. How does the project deal with the donor-family pairing
A. By helping build proper contact.
B. By carrying out strict interviews.
C. By providing a list of needed items.
D. By setting up a toy exchange program.
7. What is the Jaffes’ primary goal for the project
A. To encourage kids to volunteer. B. To partner with other businesses.
C. To return lost toys to the owners. D. To raise public awareness locally.
C
Skateboarding is more than just a sport; it’s a mix of sounds and silence. A new study shows that sound is an important, yet often undervalued part of how skateboarders connect with the activity. Skateboarders not only see their environment but also feel and hear it. Photos and videos may show the amazing moves, but they don’t express the whole experience.
The sounds from the city surfaces — the “skatesound” — are a key part of the skateboarding experience. These sounds enable skateboarders to check the success of their moves, test if surfaces are suitable for skating, and send messages to others around them.
However the study introduces an interesting idea — the “skatesound paradox (悖论) ”. Skateboarders are aware of the troubling nature of the noise they produce and change their behavior accordingly in certain situations to make less noise. Skateboarders describe the sound of the sport as both unpleasant and pleasant.
Researchers from the University of Exeter carried out interviews with 18 adult skateboarders aged between 19 and 51 from different places and experience levels. They found that the skatesound made people feel included, especially those who might feel left out of more traditional and regular sports. Interestingly, most skateboarders were against the idea of listening to music through headphones (耳机) while skateboarding, viewing it as unfriendly. The sport is considered a social activity, and wearing headphones breaks the connection with the group and the overall experience.
However, those who chose to listen to music through headphones while skateboarding had their reasons. Music helped with focus for some skateboarders, while headphones served as a social barrier (障碍) for others, offering them more confidence.
The study shows that the skateboard is not just a toy or sports object but an “ear under the feet”. Next time you hear the sounds of wheels and the board hitting the ground, think about what skateboarders are listening to. They’re not simply making noise. Skateboarders are learning through their senses, connecting with their friends, and perhaps, finding unusual peace in a noisy world.
8. What does the new study focus on
A. The health benefits of skateboarding practice.
B. The social connections between skateboarders.
C. The influence of skateboarding on city culture.
D. The role of sound in skateboarding experiences.
9. How do skateboarders behave given the “skatesound paradox”
A. Staying away from noisy skating areas.
B. Paying attention to some simple moves.
C. Valuing yet trying to control the sound.
D. Lowering the noise through a group effort.
10. What did the findings from the interviews show about the skatesound
A. It does harm to hearing ability. B. It creates a sense of belonging.
C. It raises skateboarders’confidence. D. It fits well with background music.
11. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Find peace in freestyle skateboarding.
B. Respect skateboarders’ training habits.
C. Recognize the danger of skateboarding.
D. Consider the skatesound’s deeper meaning.
D
With a service life of 20 to 25 years, about 5,000 wind turbines (涡轮机) will be taken out of service each year. The Swedish energy company Vattenfall has been worried about that. “Our larger offshore wind farms are starting to reach the end of their life,” explained Vattenfall’s director Thomas Hjort. “So we need to work out what we do with these machines. We should create something out of them so that they can benefit the community and environment once again.”
Vattenfall’s designers decided that a tiny home would be the best result. “There are different kinds of wind turbine models and all of them have their own sizes,” designer Jos de Krieger explained. “But this V80 turbine is optimal for design, as it is big enough to live in and small enough to move on land. The tiny home provides enough living space and a large enough kitchen. It also houses a bathroom with a toilet.”
Beyond that, it had to be somewhere that people would want to live. The model was kept changeable so that people could add something of their style. The outside can be painted in different colors and dressed up with something. Inside, people can place tables and chairs freely and hang personal artworks to make the space feel comfortable.
A key point is making sure the product can be produced in large numbers. Krieger said that there are around 10,000 V80 turbines in use so far. However, any company producing these homes would need continuous access to (使用……的机会) turbines, a requirement that seems hard to meet at present. Vattenfall is willing to give the parts and has received a lot of interest from other companies, but no one has started such a business, as no agreement has been decided yet.
Moreover, several companies are planning to reuse old wind turbine blades (叶片). For example, ReBlade will use them to build coverings for its new electric car centers. Once the plan is allowed, the blades will create a cover for the charging (充电) area. Given that old wind turbine blades are difficult to recycle, this presents an excellent opportunity to reduce waste.
12. How does Vattenfall hope to deal with old wind turbines
A. Donate many to research centers. B. Turn them into historical attractions.
C. Improve their ability to produce power. D. Develop new purposes in a positive way.
13. What does the underlined word“optimal” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Safe. B. Interesting. C. Perfect. D. Challenging.
14. What makes the V80 model attractive to people
A. It serves different roles. B. It is open to personal design.
C. It has high-tech characteristics. D. It is great for community events.
15. Which leads some companies to be unable to produce tiny homes
A. Few skilled workers. B. High production costs.
C. Uncertainty about market needs. D. Shortage of dependable materials.

47. 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，词数应为 150 左右。
My ten-year-old son Mike plays for the local Boys & Girls Club basketball team. Every Wednesday, he and his teammates run, do skill training, and practice playing defense (防守). Knowing that I used to be a player, he longs to show me his skills each time he hits the court (球场).
His team is a mixed bag of talent. Some kids can move the ball, pass, and shoot better than others. Some are more active and want to shoot every shot. Some kids who are still learning easily give up on plays when they are disappointed by the rules. Mike has a good coach, who values sharing, teamwork, and working together.
At first, I was just a supportive dad cheering from the sidelines. But slowly, I became too focused on his performance, hoping he’d play like the NBA stars I admired. During one game that my wife and I attended, I shouted from the sidelines, telling him when to pass, when to shoot, and how to stand on defense.
But all my instructions only made things worse. He lost all sense of direction and didn’t know what to do. When he made a mistake, he turned to me helplessly; his face was full of confusion and disappointment. It looked like he was about to cry. I saw in his eyes that I was no longer helping — I was hurting. On the way home after the game, Mike hardly spoke to me. His silence felt louder than any words.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. I told my wife that I felt so terrible about my behavior. My expectations had put unnecessary pressure on my boy. With his experienced coach on the court, Mike could have performed really well. My wife helped me calm down and see the situation differently. She also gave me tips on how to do better and how to be his cheerleader without being so hard on him. I was thankful for her kind words.
The next day, I said sorry to Mike and opened an honest conversation with him.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few weeks later, Mike gladly invited me to watch their practice.

She shared that Yves had missed his favorite stuffed animal but when he received the new Horn, he was filled with joy.
When a family reaches out to the LA Lost Stuffy Project to ask for a new comfort item, the Jaffes will work to find the item and ship it to the family. If a donor (捐赠者) wishes to personally shop for a comfort item to donate, the Jaffes will connect a family in need with the donor and share information with their agreement.
The Jaffes hope more people hear about the project so they can reach more families. “The biggest need right now is to spread the word to the LA families,” said Jenny, also a mom. “We’re waiting with money to be able to buy more and send them out. The whole world is behind the kids and wishing to offer support in small and big ways.”

Skateboarding is more than just a sport; it’s a mix of sounds and silence. A new study shows that sound is an important, yet often undervalued part of how skateboarders connect with the activity. Skateboarders not only see their environment but also feel and hear it. Photos and videos may show the amazing moves, but they don’t express the whole experience.
The sounds from the city surfaces — the “skatesound” — are a key part of the skateboarding experience. These sounds enable skateboarders to check the success of their moves, test if surfaces are suitable for skating, and send messages to others around them.
However the study introduces an interesting idea — the “skatesound paradox (悖论) ”. Skateboarders are aware of the troubling nature of the noise they produce and change their behavior accordingly in certain situations to make less noise. Skateboarders describe the sound of the sport as both unpleasant and pleasant.
Researchers from the University of Exeter carried out interviews with 18 adult skateboarders aged between 19 and 51 from different places and experience levels. They found that the skatesound made people feel included, especially those who might feel left out of more traditional and regular sports. Interestingly, most skateboarders were against the idea of listening to music through headphones (耳机) while skateboarding, viewing it as unfriendly. The sport is considered a social activity, and wearing headphones breaks the connection with the group and the overall experience.
However, those who chose to listen to music through headphones while skateboarding had their reasons. Music helped with focus for some skateboarders, while headphones served as a social barrier (障碍) for others, offering them more confidence.
The study shows that the skateboard is not just a toy or sports object but an “ear under the feet”. Next time you hear the sounds of wheels and the board hitting the ground, think about what skateboarders are listening to. They’re not simply making noise. Skateboarders are learning through their senses, connecting with their friends, and perhaps, finding unusual peace in a noisy world.
8. What does the new study focus on
A. The health benefits of skateboarding practice.
B. The social connections between skateboarders.
C. The influence of skateboarding on city culture.
D. The role of sound in skateboarding experiences.
9. How do skateboarders behave given the “skatesound paradox”
A. Staying away from noisy skating areas.
B. Paying attention to some simple moves.
C. Valuing yet trying to control the sound.
D. Lowering the noise through a group effort.
10. What did the findings from the interviews show about the skatesound
A. It does harm to hearing ability. B. It creates a sense of belonging.
C. It raises skateboarders’confidence. D. It fits well with background music.
11. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Find peace in freestyle skateboarding.
B. Respect skateboarders’ training habits.
C. Recognize the danger of skateboarding.
D. Consider the skatesound’s deeper meaning.

With a service life of 20 to 25 years, about 5,000 wind turbines (涡轮机) will be taken out of service each year. The Swedish energy company Vattenfall has been worried about that. “Our larger offshore wind farms are starting to reach the end of their life,” explained Vattenfall’s director Thomas Hjort. “So we need to work out what we do with these machines. We should create something out of them so that they can benefit the community and environment once again.”
Vattenfall’s designers decided that a tiny home would be the best result. “There are different kinds of wind turbine models and all of them have their own sizes,” designer Jos de Krieger explained. “But this V80 turbine is optimal for design, as it is big enough to live in and small enough to move on land. The tiny home provides enough living space and a large enough kitchen. It also houses a bathroom with a toilet.”
Beyond that, it had to be somewhere that people would want to live. The model was kept changeable so that people could add something of their style. The outside can be painted in different colors and dressed up with something. Inside, people can place tables and chairs freely and hang personal artworks to make the space feel comfortable.
A key point is making sure the product can be produced in large numbers. Krieger said that there are around 10,000 V80 turbines in use so far. However, any company producing these homes would need continuous access to (使用……的机会) turbines, a requirement that seems hard to meet at present. Vattenfall is willing to give the parts and has received a lot of interest from other companies, but no one has started such a business, as no agreement has been decided yet.
Moreover, several companies are planning to reuse old wind turbine blades (叶片). For example, ReBlade will use them to build coverings for its new electric car centers. Once the plan is allowed, the blades will create a cover for the charging (充电) area. Given that old wind turbine blades are difficult to recycle, this presents an excellent opportunity to reduce waste.
12. How does Vattenfall hope to deal with old wind turbines
A. Donate many to research centers. B. Turn them into historical attractions.
C. Improve their ability to produce power. D. Develop new purposes in a positive way.
13. What does the underlined word“optimal” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Safe. B. Interesting. C. Perfect. D. Challenging.
14. What makes the V80 model attractive to people
A. It serves different roles. B. It is open to personal design.
C. It has high-tech characteristics. D. It is great for community events.
15. Which leads some companies to be unable to produce tiny homes
A. Few skilled workers. B. High production costs.
C. Uncertainty about market needs. D. Shortage of dependable materials.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D

47. 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，词数应为 150 左右。
My ten-year-old son Mike plays for the local Boys & Girls Club basketball team. Every Wednesday, he and his teammates run, do skill training, and practice playing defense (防守). Knowing that I used to be a player, he longs to show me his skills each time he hits the court (球场).
His team is a mixed bag of talent. Some kids can move the ball, pass, and shoot better than others. Some are more active and want to shoot every shot. Some kids who are still learning easily give up on plays when they are disappointed by the rules. Mike has a good coach, who values sharing, teamwork, and working together.
At first, I was just a supportive dad cheering from the sidelines. But slowly, I became too focused on his performance, hoping he’d play like the NBA stars I admired. During one game that my wife and I attended, I shouted from the sidelines, telling him when to pass, when to shoot, and how to stand on defense.
But all my instructions only made things worse. He lost all sense of direction and didn’t know what to do. When he made a mistake, he turned to me helplessly; his face was full of confusion and disappointment. It looked like he was about to cry. I saw in his eyes that I was no longer helping — I was hurting. On the way home after the game, Mike hardly spoke to me. His silence felt louder than any words.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. I told my wife that I felt so terrible about my behavior. My expectations had put unnecessary pressure on my boy. With his experienced coach on the court, Mike could have performed really well. My wife helped me calm down and see the situation differently. She also gave me tips on how to do better and how to be his cheerleader without being so hard on him. I was thankful for her kind words.
The next day, I said sorry to Mike and opened an honest conversation with him.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few weeks later, Mike gladly invited me to watch their practice.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next day, I said sorry to Mike and opened an honest conversation with him. I admitted that I had put too much pressure on him with my expectations and that I had been more of a judge than a supporter. Surprisingly, he said that he understood I only wanted the best for him. He shared how much he enjoyed having me there, not to correct him, but to support him and see his progress. With this meaningful conversation, Mike’s spirits improved greatly and we understood each other better. And I realized I needed to make changes to be a better father.
A few weeks later, Mike gladly invited me to watch their practice. This time, I decided to deal with it differently. I just encouraged Mike to be more confident, and cheered when he made good plays. With some active practice, he made several baskets successfully and ran to me with a big smile. For the first time, I was part of his world without pushing him — just a proud dad sharing the moment. We’ve become much more connected since the practice. I have learned that the best support is to allow your kids to enjoy sports and progress in their own way.

As wildfires burned across Los Angeles County, sisters-in-law Randi Jaffe and Jenny Jaffe started the LA Lost Stuffy Project, which collects money to buy new stuffed toys (毛绒玩具) for children who lost theirs.
Randi said the idea for the project came to her because as a child life expert and a mom of two, she knows first-hand how important comfort items (安抚物品) can be for kids. “We know that comfort items matter a lot to children of all ages,” she added. “When families lose their homes and are experiencing sadness, there’s no control at all. So, this is such a small way to give kids back their control.”
For Emily Balliet, whose home burned down in the wildfires, the work of the LA Lost Stuffy Project has brought “light” to her family during what she described as a “dark time”. The group gave a stuffed gift, named Horn, to Balliet’s 4-year-old son Yves to match the one he once had. “This was a reminder that there are good people out there who really want to offer help in a thoughtful way,” Balliet said. She shared that Yves had missed his favorite stuffed animal but when he received the new Horn, he was filled with joy.
When a family reaches out to the LA Lost Stuffy Project to ask for a new comfort item, the Jaffes will work to find the item and ship it to the family. If a donor (捐赠者) wishes to personally shop for a comfort item to donate, the Jaffes will connect a family in need with the donor and share information with their agreement.
The Jaffes hope more people hear about the project so they can reach more families. “The biggest need right now is to spread the word to the LA families,” said Jenny, also a mom. “We’re waiting with money to be able to buy more and send them out. The whole world is behind the kids and wishing to offer support in small and big ways.”
4. Why did Randi Jaffe decide to create the LA Lost Stuffy Project
A. To collect toys for local charities.
B. To help families rebuild their houses.
C. To connect with other child life experts.
D. To give support to kids during disasters.
5. What did Emily Balliet realize from her experience with the project
A. The market value of stuffed toys.
B. The role of parents ’understanding.
C. The power of community kindness.
D. The importance of fire safety education.
6. How does the project deal with the donor-family pairing
A. By helping build proper contact.
B. By carrying out strict interviews.
C. By providing a list of needed items.
D. By setting up a toy exchange program.
7. What is the Jaffes’ primary goal for the project

With a service life of 20 to 25 years, about 5,000 wind turbines (涡轮机) will be taken out of service each year. The Swedish energy company Vattenfall has been worried about that. “Our larger offshore wind farms are starting to reach the end of their life,” explained Vattenfall’s director Thomas Hjort. “So we need to work out what we do with these machines. We should create something out of them so that they can benefit the community and environment once again.”
Vattenfall’s designers decided that a tiny home would be the best result. “There are different kinds of wind turbine models and all of them have their own sizes,” designer Jos de Krieger explained. “But this V80 turbine is optimal for design, as it is big enough to live in and small enough to move on land. The tiny home provides enough living space and a large enough kitchen. It also houses a bathroom with a toilet.”
Beyond that, it had to be somewhere that people would want to live. The model was kept changeable so that people could add something of their style. The outside can be painted in different colors and dressed up with something. Inside, people can place tables and chairs freely and hang personal artworks to make the space feel comfortable.
A key point is making sure the product can be produced in large numbers. Krieger said that there are around 10,000 V80 turbines in use so far. However, any company producing these homes would need continuous access to (使用……的机会) turbines, a requirement that seems hard to meet at present. Vattenfall is willing to give the parts and has received a lot of interest from other companies, but no one has started such a business, as no agreement has been decided yet.
Moreover, several companies are planning to reuse old wind turbine blades (叶片). For example, ReBlade will use them to build coverings for its new electric car centers. Once the plan is allowed, the blades will create a cover for the charging (充电) area. Given that old wind turbine blades are difficult to recycle, this presents an excellent opportunity to reduce waste.
12. How does Vattenfall hope to deal with old wind turbines
A. Donate many to research centers. B. Turn them into historical attractions.
C. Improve their ability to produce power. D. Develop new purposes in a positive way.
13. What does the underlined word“optimal” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Safe. B. Interesting. C. Perfect. D. Challenging.
14. What makes the V80 model attractive to people
A. It serves different roles. B. It is open to personal design.
C. It has high-tech characteristics. D. It is great for community events.
15. Which leads some companies to be unable to produce tiny homes
A. Few skilled workers. B. High production costs.
C. Uncertainty about market needs. D. Shortage of dependable materials.

My ten-year-old son Mike plays for the local Boys & Girls Club basketball team. Every Wednesday, he and his teammates run, do skill training, and practice playing defense (防守). Knowing that I used to be a player, he longs to show me his skills each time he hits the court (球场).
His team is a mixed bag of talent. Some kids can move the ball, pass, and shoot better than others. Some are more active and want to shoot every shot. Some kids who are still learning easily give up on plays when they are disappointed by the rules. Mike has a good coach, who values sharing, teamwork, and working together.
At first, I was just a supportive dad cheering from the sidelines. But slowly, I became too focused on his performance, hoping he’d play like the NBA stars I admired. During one game that my wife and I attended, I shouted from the sidelines, telling him when to pass, when to shoot, and how to stand on defense.
But all my instructions only made things worse. He lost all sense of direction and didn’t know what to do. When he made a mistake, he turned to me helplessly; his face was full of confusion and disappointment. It looked like he was about to cry. I saw in his eyes that I was no longer helping — I was hurting. On the way home after the game, Mike hardly spoke to me. His silence felt louder than any words.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. I told my wife that I felt so terrible about my behavior. My expectations had put unnecessary pressure on my boy. With his experienced coach on the court, Mike could have performed really well. My wife helped me calm down and see the situation differently. She also gave me tips on how to do better and how to be his cheerleader without being so hard on him. I was thankful for her kind words.
The next day, I said sorry to Mike and opened an honest conversation with him.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few weeks later, Mike gladly invited me to watch their practice.

As wildfires burned across Los Angeles County, sisters-in-law Randi Jaffe and Jenny Jaffe started the LA Lost Stuffy Project, which collects money to buy new stuffed toys (毛绒玩具) for children who lost theirs.
Randi said the idea for the project came to her because as a child life expert and a mom of two, she knows first-hand how important comfort items (安抚物品) can be for kids. “We know that comfort items matter a lot to children of all ages,” she added. “When families lose their homes and are experiencing sadness, there’s no control at all. So, this is such a small way to give kids back their control.”
For Emily Balliet, whose home burned down in the wildfires, the work of the LA Lost Stuffy Project has brought “light” to her family during what she described as a “dark time”. The group gave a stuffed gift, named Horn, to Balliet’s 4-year-old son Yves to match the one he once had. “This was a reminder that there are good people out there who really want to offer help in a thoughtful way,” Balliet said. She shared that Yves had missed his favorite stuffed animal but when he received the new Horn, he was filled with joy.
When a family reaches out to the LA Lost Stuffy Project to ask for a new comfort item, the Jaffes will work to find the item and ship it to the family. If a donor (捐赠者) wishes to personally shop for a comfort item to donate, the Jaffes will connect a family in need with the donor and share information with their agreement.
The Jaffes hope more people hear about the project so they can reach more families. “The biggest need right now is to spread the word to the LA families,” said Jenny, also a mom. “We’re waiting with money to be able to buy more and send them out. The whole world is behind the kids and wishing to offer support in small and big ways.”
4. Why did Randi Jaffe decide to create the LA Lost Stuffy Project
A. To collect toys for local charities.
B. To help families rebuild their houses.
C. To connect with other child life experts.
D. To give support to kids during disasters.
5. What did Emily Balliet realize from her experience with the project
A. The market value of stuffed toys.
B. The role of parents ’understanding.
C. The power of community kindness.
D. The importance of fire safety education.
6. How does the project deal with the donor-family pairing
A. By helping build proper contact.
B. By carrying out strict interviews.
C. By providing a list of needed items.
D. By setting up a toy exchange program.
7. What is the Jaffes’ primary goal for the project
A. To encourage kids to volunteer. B. To partner with other businesses.
C. To return lost toys to the owners. D. To raise public awareness locally.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D

Skateboarding is more than just a sport; it’s a mix of sounds and silence. A new study shows that sound is an important, yet often undervalued part of how skateboarders connect with the activity. Skateboarders not only see their environment but also feel and hear it. Photos and videos may show the amazing moves, but they don’t express the whole experience.
The sounds from the city surfaces — the “skatesound” — are a key part of the skateboarding experience. These sounds enable skateboarders to check the success of their moves, test if surfaces are suitable for skating, and send messages to others around them.
However the study introduces an interesting idea — the “skatesound paradox (悖论) ”. Skateboarders are aware of the troubling nature of the noise they produce and change their behavior accordingly in certain situations to make less noise. Skateboarders describe the sound of the sport as both unpleasant and pleasant.
Researchers from the University of Exeter carried out interviews with 18 adult skateboarders aged between 19 and 51 from different places and experience levels. They found that the skatesound made people feel included, especially those who might feel left out of more traditional and regular sports. Interestingly, most skateboarders were against the idea of listening to music through headphones (耳机) while skateboarding, viewing it as unfriendly. The sport is considered a social activity, and wearing headphones breaks the connection with the group and the overall experience.
However, those who chose to listen to music through headphones while skateboarding had their reasons. Music helped with focus for some skateboarders, while headphones served as a social barrier (障碍) for others, offering them more confidence.
The study shows that the skateboard is not just a toy or sports object but an “ear under the feet”. Next time you hear the sounds of wheels and the board hitting the ground, think about what skateboarders are listening to. They’re not simply making noise. Skateboarders are learning through their senses, connecting with their friends, and perhaps, finding unusual peace in a noisy world.
8. What does the new study focus on
A. The health benefits of skateboarding practice.
B. The social connections between skateboarders.
C. The influence of skateboarding on city culture.
D. The role of sound in skateboarding experiences.
9. How do skateboarders behave given the “skatesound paradox”
A. Staying away from noisy skating areas.
B. Paying attention to some simple moves.
C. Valuing yet trying to control the sound.
D. Lowering the noise through a group effort.
10. What did the findings from the interviews show about the skatesound
A. It does harm to hearing ability. B. It creates a sense of belonging.
C. It raises skateboarders’confidence. D. It fits well with background music.
11. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Find peace in freestyle skateboarding.
B. Respect skateboarders’ training habits.
C. Recognize the danger of skateboarding.
D. Consider the skatesound’s deeper meaning.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
D
With a service life of 20 to 25 years, about 5,000 wind turbines (涡轮机) will be taken out of service each year. The Swedish energy company Vattenfall has been worried about that. “Our larger offshore wind farms are starting to reach the end of their life,” explained Vattenfall’s director Thomas Hjort. “So we need to work out what we do with these machines. We should create something out of them so that they can benefit the community and environment once again.”
Vattenfall’s designers decided that a tiny home would be the best result. “There are different kinds of wind turbine models and all of them have their own sizes,” designer Jos de Krieger explained. “But this V80 turbine is optimal for design, as it is big enough to live in and small enough to move on land. The tiny home provides enough living space and a large enough kitchen. It also houses a bathroom with a toilet.”
Beyond that, it had to be somewhere that people would want to live. The model was kept changeable so that people could add something of their style. The outside can be painted in different colors and dressed up with something. Inside, people can place tables and chairs freely and hang personal artworks to make the space feel comfortable.
A key point is making sure the product can be produced in large numbers. Krieger said that there are around 10,000 V80 turbines in use so far.

Dear Peter,
How are you doing lately I have exciting news to share — our school’s annual sports meeting will take place on November 5th at the school playground, and I’d love to invite you to come.
The day kicks off with a lively opening ceremony at 8 a.m. After that, there will be a variety of events, such as 100-meter sprints, high jumps, and 4x100-meter relays. Teachers and students will also join in fun group games like tug-of-war in the afternoon. Our class is competing in the relay, and your support would mean a lot!
Looking forward to seeing you there!

47. 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，词数应为 150 左右。
My ten-year-old son Mike plays for the local Boys & Girls Club basketball team. Every Wednesday, he and his teammates run, do skill training, and practice playing defense (防守). Knowing that I used to be a player, he longs to show me his skills each time he hits the court (球场).
His team is a mixed bag of talent. Some kids can move the ball, pass, and shoot better than others. Some are more active and want to shoot every shot. Some kids who are still learning easily give up on plays when they are disappointed by the rules. Mike has a good coach, who values sharing, teamwork, and working together.
At first, I was just a supportive dad cheering from the sidelines. But slowly, I became too focused on his performance, hoping he’d play like the NBA stars I admired. During one game that my wife and I attended, I shouted from the sidelines, telling him when to pass, when to shoot, and how to stand on defense.
But all my instructions only made things worse. He lost all sense of direction and didn’t know what to do. When he made a mistake, he turned to me helplessly; his face was full of confusion and disappointment. It looked like he was about to cry. I saw in his eyes that I was no longer helping — I was hurting. On the way home after the game, Mike hardly spoke to me. His silence felt louder than any words.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. I told my wife that I felt so terrible about my behavior. My expectations had put unnecessary pressure on my boy. With his experienced coach on the court, Mike could have performed really well. My wife helped me calm down and see the situation differently. She also gave me tips on how to do better and how to be his cheerleader without being so hard on him. I was thankful for her kind words.
The next day, I said sorry to Mike and opened an honest conversation with him.

A few weeks later, Mike gladly invited me to watch their practice.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next day, I said sorry to Mike and opened an honest conversation with him. I admitted that I had put too much pressure on him with my expectations and that I had been more of a judge than a supporter. Surprisingly, he said that he understood I only wanted the best for him. He shared how much he enjoyed having me there, not to correct him, but to support him and see his progress. With this meaningful conversation, Mike’s spirits improved greatly and we understood each other better. And I realized I needed to make changes to be a better father.
A few weeks later, Mike gladly invited me to watch their practice. This time, I decided to deal with it differently. I just encouraged Mike to be more confident, and cheered when he made good plays. With some active practice, he made several baskets successfully and ran to me with a big smile. For the first time, I was part of his world without pushing him — just a proud dad sharing the moment. We’ve become much more connected since the practice. I have learned that the best support is to allow your kids to enjoy sports and progress in their own way.
