If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend (趋势) in Urumqi (乌鲁木齐). “From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says. “I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says. “That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.” However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results: ◆The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes. ◆Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them. ◆Some communities set the box in unsuitable places, so there are few clothes in it. ◆Many clothes are too old and shabby (破烂的). “What’s worse.” one of the workers in a community added, “we quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.” In order to make the donation box work in a useful way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away. 36. What does Lin Tao think of the Clothes Donation Box? ____________________________________________________________ 37. Why does Miss Li give away her clothes? ____________________________________________________________ 38. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? ____________________________________________________________ 39.

Some clothes in the box. 39. 5. 40. Yes, because it can help people in need./No, because it should be better-organized. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了衣物捐赠箱如今变成一种趋势，但是问题也随之产生，针对这些问题，政府正采取措施，使衣物捐赠更加有序，人们使用起来也更加方便。 【36题详解】 根据“‘I think it’s a good way to help others.’ Lin Tao, a junior student says.”可知，他认为衣物捐赠箱是帮助别人的好方法。故填He thinks it is a good way to help others. 【37题详解】 根据“‘I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping.

Mulan lived with her family in a little village. One day, the imperial court announced that each family had to send one man to the army. Mulan’s father was too old to fight. So Mulan decided to dressed up as a man. She joined the army and fought for many years. When the war ended, the Emperor offered Mulan a job. But she refused and wished to return home. She put on makeup when she came home. When her former comrades visited her, they just knew she was a woman. I think she was very brave and intelligent.

This show tells the story of Li Wenxiu, a young woman who returned to her hometown of Altay in Xinjiang to live with her mother after failing in her dream of becoming a writer. And she then found the meaning of life and her love in Altay. The show displayed (展示) the area’s breathtaking natural beauty, with mountains covered in snow, lakes that are very clear, and old villages that are still in good condition. Altay is also a favorite place for skiing during the cold season. Although Altay has always been famous for its beautiful nature, it was not a popular place to visit before because it took a long time to travel there and the cost of staying in hotels was high. But now, this popular TV show has made more people, especially young people, interested in visiting Altay.

C Fans will be seeing a purple track (跑道) at the Olympics when athletes (运动员) try to set records at this summer’s Paris Games. The Olympics used to choose red-brick clay color (砖红色). An Olympic track is going purple for the first time. “The look of the Games includes three colors for all the competition places: blue, green and purple. We decided on this purple track with different tones(色调) : lighter for the track, darker for the service areas, and grey for the turns at the end of the corner,” said Alain Blondel, the sports manager (经理), who added that the choice of the color reminds us of lavender (薰衣草). This purple color, never seen before for an athletics track, has been the result of a long process but it doesn’t have to be just beautiful. “We had to work hard on the colors so that they came out in the best possible tones to highlight (突出) the athletes. It’s a track and it has to be pretty, but above all it’s a stage (舞台) on which the athletes are going to perform. What’s really important is that the colors and the athletes stand out,” said Alain Blondel. Different colors can lead to different emotions and feelings. For example, red makes people feel excited; blue helps lower stress, while purple has some of the good points of both red and blue, which can encourage athletes to perform at their best and help them bring good results. Many athletes in the world will compete on the beautiful purple track at the Paris Olympics from August 1st-11th 2024. 8. Which statement is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs? A.

If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend (趋势) in Urumqi (乌鲁木齐). “From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says. “I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says. “That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.” However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results: ◆The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes. ◆Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them. ◆Some communities set the box in unsuitable places, so there are few clothes in it. ◆Many clothes are too old and shabby (破烂的). “What’s worse.” one of the workers in a community added, “we quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.” In order to make the donation box work in a useful way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away. 36. What does Lin Tao think of the Clothes Donation Box? ____________________________________________________________ 37. Why does Miss Li give away her clothes? ____________________________________________________________ 38.
