B When discovering her grandma Georgie’s clothing sketches (草图) in 2021, Julia, a 27-year-old TikToker, barely knew how to sew clothes. Nonetheless, she decided to take it upon herself to make Grandma’s old designer dreams come alive. And it’s not surprising at all, then, that when Julia shared her hard work with her absolutely delighted Grandma, and later her followers — more than 21 million viewers tuned in to see what the most adorable version of Paris Fashion Week looks like. Oh, and what a sight it is. When Julia first came across her grandma’s fashion design sketches that were almost three times as old as she is, she was attracted by them. So were her unexpected TikTok viewers, 2.7 million of them, who shared Julia’s appreciation of these drawings, leading to her first viral video. “I knew grandma was talented, but I was like, ‘Wow, these are really much better than what I was envisioning (想象) in my head’,” she told Insider. Using material leftover from her grandmother’s collection of outdated fabrics, Julia has sewn many of the dresses Georgie envisioned. She notes that she doesn’t always follow her “grandma sketch”, as what looks good on paper might not translate onto the body. “Grandma encourages that,” Julia explains. This ongoing interdenominational collaboration (合作) has led to an extremely popular TikTok series in which Julia shows Georgie what she’s created. It’s also sparked sweet conversations between the two of them, which are shared on video. “It’s a beautiful bonding experience between us that has made Grandma happy,” she said. “Lots of people who are older and watch my videos say they love seeing someone younger appreciate something from their generation,” she said. “And then younger people see it and maybe they lost their grandparents, and they say seeing my videos reminds them of their grandparents,” said Julia. 24. What’s Julia’s way of sewing a dress? A. She strictly follows her grandma’s sketches. B. She makes adjustments to her grandma’s designs. C. She makes it out of her own imagination. D. She makes it based on the latest style. 25. What used to be Georgie’s dream? A. To become a fashion designer. B. To set up a fashion school. C. To create a popular TikTok series. D. To attend Paris Fashion Week. 26. Which of the following can best describe Julia? A. Imaginative and humorous. B. Independent and outgoing C. Innovative and persistent. D. Generous and collaborative. 27. What has led to the popularity of Julia’s works on TikTok? A. It bonds different generations. B. It follows the latest fashion style. C. It encourages people to make improvements. D. It reminds its viewers of their duties. C Next time you find yourself tending to your flower garden, you may want to stay quiet. The flowers are listening. According to Israeli scientists, the plants could hear bees approaching and attempt to attract them with sweeter nectar (花蜜) . In several experiments,they found that playing audio recordings of buzzing bees around certain flowers would cause the sugar concentration in the nectar to rise by about 20% in less than five minutes. Such a rapid reaction by plants to sound had never previously been reported. Just to compare, the researchers also tried a higher frequency noise-like that made by a mosquito or a bat- and the flowers did not respond. This is not the first time that they’ve reacted to what they’re hearing around them. In a 2009 study, Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society found that women’s voices helped make plants grow faster. In that experiment, tomato plants were found to grow up to two inches taller when they were tended to by a female gardener. More recently, an Australian study found that some flowers were able to sense noises, such as the flow of water through a pipe. The ability of inanimate (无生命的) objects to hear what’s around them may seem like something out of a science fiction novel, but it’s real. What if we told you that a potato chip bag left on the floor of a break room could listen in on office gossip? You’d think we were crazy, right? Think again. Researchers found that as people were talking around the potato chip bag, they were sending teeny-tiny sound vibrations (振动) into the air. Those vibrations then hit inanimate objects around the room. So next time you’re at the gardens or in a grocery, be careful with what you say. Something might be listening. 28. What did Israeli scientists discover in their research? A. What plants do to sense their environment. B. How plants respond to certain sounds. C. How plants make their nectar sweeter. D. What plants do to protect themselves. 29. Why are the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To indicate that plants can actually hear what's around them. B. To stress the environment is important to plants' survival. C. To tell us many scientists are interested in plant research. D. To show that Israeli scientists are not the most experienced. 30. What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Some plants. B. Sound vibrations. C. Inanimate objects. D. Potato chip bags. 31. What's the best title of the text? A. Flowers can actually hear your voices. B. Wildlife has amazing survival skills. C. Bees can talk with garden flowers. D. Chip bags can uncover your secrets. D A growing body of research is revealing associations between birth defects (缺陷) and a father’s age, alcohol use and environmental factors, say researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center. They say these defects result from epigenetic changes that can potentially affect multiple generations. The study, published in the American Journal of Stem Cells, suggest both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring — a common sense conclusion which science is only now beginning to demonstrate, says the study’s senior investigator, Joanna Kitlinska, PhD, an associate professor in biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology. “We know the nutritional, hormonal and psychological environment provided by the mother permanently influences organ structure, cellular response and gene expression in her offspring,” she says. “But our study shows the same thing to be true with fathers — his lifestyle, and how old he is, can be reflected in molecules that control gene function,” she says. “In this way, a father can affect not only his immediate offspring, but future generations as well.” For example, a newborn can be diagnosed with fetal (胎儿的) alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), even though the mother has never consumed alcohol, Kitlinska says. “Up to 75 percent of children with FASD have biological fathers who are alcoholics, suggesting that preconceptual paternal alcohol consumption negatively impacts their offspring.” Advanced age of a father is correlated with elevated rates of certain diseases, and birth defects in his children. A limited diet during a father’s preadolescence has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular death in his children and grandchildren. Paternal obesity is linked to enlarged fat cells, changes in metabolic regulation, diabetes, obesity and development of brain cancer. Psychosocial stress on the father is linked to defective behavioral traits in his offspring. And paternal alcohol use leads to decreased newborn birth weight, marked reduction in overall brain size and impaired cognitive function. “This new field of inherited paternal epigenetics needs to be organized into clinically applicable recommendations and lifestyle alternations,” Kitlinska says. “And to really understand the epigenetic influences of a child, we need to study the interplay between maternal and paternal effects, as opposed to considering each in isolation.” 32. What’s the message the writer conveys in the passage? A. Both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring. B. Father’s age and lifestyle are tied to birth defects. C. Father plays a more critical role in birth defects. D. Birth defects can potentially affect multiple generations. 33. What can we infer from the example in Paragraph 5? A. FASD can only be diagnosed in a newborn whose father is addicted to alcohol. B. A newborn will not contract FASD if his mother has never consumed alcohol. C. A father’s lifestyle can negatively impact his offspring. D. Most children have biological fathers who are alcoholics. 34. Which of the following situations is less likely to lead to children’s birth defects? A. Having a father with a limited diet. B. Having a father who is an alcoholic. C. Having an overweight father. D. Having a father with psychosocial stress. 35. What will the research probably continue to focus on in the part that follows? A. The maternal epigenetic influences of a child. B. The ways to avoid negative paternal influence on children. C. The clinical application of the research findings. D. The interaction between maternal and paternal effects. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 All over the world people are hooked on sports, which help them to strengthen their body and build their character.___36___They improve the participants’ physical skills, and provided entertainment for the audience as well.

I dreamed or a big win some day, with a big trophy (奖杯). I was skillful and fast, or so I thought. However, I soon learned my skills seemed quite weak because the bigger, stronger boys seemed to occupy every corner of the playground. Once I was in the 100-yard hurdles, the only recognition I received for my performance was two bloody knees. In college, I took a swim competition, dreaming of the glory! It turned out I achieved nothing. As an older adult, I still maintained an active lifestyle. In 2010 I signed up for a stair-climbing challenge to raise money for fighting against lung cancer. My father had died of the same disease, so this was a meaningful cause for me. Then, in 2019, the organization offered an even more challenging climb option: the vertical (垂直的) mile. So I would have three hours to climb up and down twenty-eight floors fifteen times, plus three more. I trained hard. When the challenge started, I felt confident. But soon my legs started feeling heavy. What was worse, I began experiencing leg cramps (抽筋). My progress slowed dramatically and I quickly fell behind. When came down after finishing lap 14, it was past the time limit, so my big win had escaped once again. Soon after the climb, I struggled to experience the sense of self-satisfaction. And I had, after all, set a goal for myself to prove what I was made of, what I had inside me. And what I had inside me was, “Nice try, but you didn’t make it.” So, a year later, at age 62 and after numerous workouts, I was back. Like last year, I was well ahead after an hour and I again started feeling some discomfort in my legs. I heard myself cry out loud, “Oh, no not again!” I finally stopped and sat down on the stairs, feeling quite depressed and wondering if my dream was over. A few climbers stopped to offer help. I was touched, but embarrassed to accept. Except for one climber. An angel climber, really. Jessica, who I happened to know, was a salesman’s friend when I bought new running shoes at his store. And without that connection, she might have climbed past me as I sat on those steps, my legs shaking. But all those things did happen, and Jessica stopped to help. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When she saw I was cramping, she offered me some sports drinks containing electrolytes (电解质). _________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The cramps in my legs finally started to go away.___________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 11 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
