Teens who are just about to enter high school will face a problem-which sport to choose. Some teenagers have never been involved in organized sports and lots of stress may come into play. If this sounds like your teen, encourage them to try the sport that most attracts them.
Here is a list of some of the top favored sports by teenagers in the USA.
Basketball: It is the most popular sport with almost half a million girls playing in school teams. And more than 5.8 million boys and girls play competitively, choosing it as their favorite sport and playing in school teams. It’s a good team sport.
American football: It is no longer the number one sport played among teenagers, mainly because of the rise of other sports. Some parents believe it to be a dangerous sport but, with the right coach and environment as well as the equipment, it should be perfectly safe to take part in.
Volleyball: It is excellent for girls and is a good game to play in a team. It is the fifth favored sport for girls and they get confidence in the sport. It’s also a good idea to involve them in competitive volleyball.
Track and field: If your teen likes individual sport, track and field is good to take part in. Track and field includes running, throwing and jumping. Track and field can provide a chance for almost any youth to get out and compete.
1. What is the main reason for American football’s being less attractive?
A. It is considered a dangerous sport. B. Other sports grow in popularity.
C. It takes up too much of teenagers’ time. D. Students are no longer interested in team sports.
2. Which sport can help make girls confident?
A. Basketball. B. American football. C. Volleyball. D. Track and field.
3. Who is the text aimed at?
A. Teenagers. B. Coaches. C. Teachers. D. Parents.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国青少年如何选择运动项目。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It is no longer the number one sport played among teenagers, mainly because of the rise of other sports. (它不再是青少年最喜欢的运动,主要是因为其他运动的兴起。)”可知,美式足球变得不那么吸引人的主要原因是其他运动越来越受欢迎。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It is excellent for girls and is a good game to play in a team. It is the fifth favored sport for girls and they get confidence in the sport. (这对女孩来说是极好的,也是一个很好的团队游戏。这是女孩们第五喜欢的运动,她们对这项运动有信心。)”可知,排球让女孩自信。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If this sounds like your teen, encourage them to try the sport that most attracts them. (如果这听起来像你的孩子,鼓励他们尝试最吸引他们的运动。)”可知,这篇文章是针对父母的,故选D。
B
Gustavo Dudamel comes back for another show. It’s the first night for the Los Angeles Philharmonic in California. When people see the conductor, the noise inside the Walt Disney Concert Hall gets louder. Dudamel walks to the stage and raises his head and arms. The group starts playing the Star Wars theme. At the end, people all jump up. It’s the kind of response you’d see at a concert by Taylor Swift, a very popular pop singer.
Dudamel says later that music is not just for fun. It brings us together even if we come in feeling very different. Under Dudamel’s leadership, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has spread the uniting power of music across differences in money, class, color and age. And its Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) has worked with more than 1,500 kids, giving them instruments and lessons so they can perform.
Dudamel grew up in a working- class family in Venezuela. His mom was a singing teacher. His dad played in a band. But what was more important for Dudamel’s music al growth was El Sistema, Venezuela’s national classical music education and performance program for poor kids. Dudamel joined when he was 5. It was El Sistema that gave him a violin three years later.
The YOLA program started in 2007, after Dudamel showed El Sistema’s work in Venezuela to members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic organization. The roots (根) Dudamel put down in Los Angeles have spread far beyond Disney Hall. In October 2021, the Beckmen YOLA Center opened its doors in Inglewood, California. The former bank building had been turned into a place for lessons, recording and performance.
Dudamel remembers someone once said: The young musicians shouldn’t be satisfied with a program that is just “good enough”. They should be given the best instruments, the best teachers, and the most inspiring places to grow and do well.
4. Why is Taylor Swift mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To show Dudamel’s popularity.
B. To lead in the topic to discuss.
C. To explain the difficulty in conducting.
D. To compare the differences between Taylor Swift and Dudamel.
5. What is the purpose of YOLA?
A. To offer chances to adult musicians. B. To get the youth of different backgrounds together.
C. To provide musical education for the young. D. To help schools with music lessons.
6. What helps most in Dudamel’s musical development?
A. His parents’ experience. B. His natural ability in music.
C. The YOLA program’s support. D. His study in El Sistema.
7. What can be learned from paragraph 4?
A. The YOLA program has achieved more than expected.
B. The bank building was perfect for performance.
C. The Disney Hall cannot hold all of the YOLA members.
D. California needs more support for young musicians.

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Under Dudamel’s leadership, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has spread the uniting power of music across differences in money, class, color and age. And its Youth Orchestra Los Angeles(YOLA) has worked with more than 1,500 kids, giving them instruments and lessons so they can perform.

(YOLA项目始于2007年,当时杜达梅尔向洛杉矶爱乐乐团的成员展示了El Sistema在委内瑞拉的作品。杜达梅尔在洛杉矶的根基已经远远超出了迪士尼大厅。2021年10月,贝克曼YOLA中心在加利福尼亚州英格伍德开业。)” 可知,YOLA计划已经在洛杉矶生根发芽,并且超出了迪士尼音乐厅的范围,在加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德开设了新的中心,这说明YOLA计划取得了比预期更多的成就,故选A。
C
More than a billion young people across the world don’t have an Internet connection. That fact is holding back global (全球的) change, says the World Wide Web inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. In a letter he has written for the Web’s 32nd birthday today, Sir Tim is calling for a global push to connect all young people safely to the Internet.
Sir Tim’s letter replies to a report from United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) at the end of last year, which showed two- thirds of the world’s school- age children-1.3 billion children aged 3 to 17-don’t have an Internet connection in their homes. The fear is that this not enough Internet access (机会) could cost them their futures by separating them from the world, and keeping education out of reach.
UNICEF says a digital divide means children and young people from the poorest families and countries are missing out. And it is concerned that these children are falling even further behind other children, with very little opportunity to catch up.
Today’s letter, published by Sir Tim and Rosemary Leith from the Web Foundation, stresses young leaders who are using digital technology to tackle some of the world’s problems like inequality, environmental issues and other global challenges.
But Rosemary says these opportunities need to be open to all: “If half of young people are unable to use the tools to develop in a digital world-to learn new skills, run businesses, and build communities-society as a whole will miss out on their abilities, ideas and efforts.”
Sir Tim is also calling on tech companies and governments to work on ways to protect young people from harm online and make young people’s rights and well- being a top priority (优先事项).
8. How does Sir Tim find the fact that many young people live without the Internet?
A. Worrying. B. Satisfying. C. Strange. D. Acceptable.
9. What is UNICEF worried about?
A. The slow development of the Internet.
B. The high cost of Internet connect ion for common families.
C. The influence of the digital products on children’s health.
D. The widening differences in digital access between the poor and the rich.
10. What does the underlined word “tackle” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Check. B. Record. C. Understand. D. Solve.
11. What do Rosemary’s words show?
A. Digital tools should be used in educating students.
B. The abilities and ideas of young people will benefit society.
C. Digital tools are the most important in learning new skills.
D. Internet support should be seriously considered by the government.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了万维网发明者蒂姆·伯纳斯-李针对全球三分之一学龄儿童无法在家上网这一问题,呼吁全球共同推动所有年轻人安全上网,并强调数字技术对于解决全球问题的重要性,同时要求科技公司和政府优先保护年轻人免受网络伤害。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In a letter he has written for the Web’s 32nd birthday today, Sir Tim is calling for a global push to connect all young people safely to the Internet. (今天,蒂姆爵士为互联网32岁生日写了一封信,他呼吁全球推动所有年轻人安全上网。)”可知,蒂姆爵士认为许多年轻人没有互联网的生活是令人担忧的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“UNICEF says a digital divide means children and young people from the poorest families and countries are missing out. And it is concerned that these children are falling even further behind other children, with very little opportunity to catch up. (联合国儿童基金会表示,数字鸿沟意味着来自最贫困家庭和国家的儿童和年轻人被排除在外。令人担忧的是,这些孩子比其他孩子落后得更远,几乎没有机会赶上来。)”可知,联合国儿童基金会担心的是穷人和富人在数字接入方面的差距越来越大,故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“stresses young leaders who are using digital technology to (强调了利用数字技术……的年轻领导)”以及后文“some of the world’s problems like inequality, environmental issues and other global challenges (世界上的一些问题,如不平等、环境问题和其他全球性挑战)”可知,发表的信中主要强调利用数字技术解决世界问题的年轻领导。故划线词意思是“处理”,故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“But Rosemary says these opportunities need to be open to all: “If half of young people are unable to use the tools to develop in a digital world-to learn new skills, run businesses, and build communities-society as a whole will miss out on their abilities, ideas and efforts.” (但罗斯玛丽说,这些机会需要向所有人开放:“如果一半的年轻人不能使用这些工具在数字世界中发展——学习新技能、经营企业和建立社区——整个社会将错过他们的能力、想法和努力。”)”可知,罗兹玛丽的话表明年轻人的能力和想法将造福社会,故选B。
D
As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says, to avoid a too- hot world, we need to do all we can right now to control greenhouse gas emissions (排放). The fashion industry makes up to 10% of global emissions-more than aviation and shipping. It also causes other problems, like biodiversity loss, pollution, landfill problems and unsafe work.
It’s not the first time that people have changed their clothes for a crisis (危机). During World War II, clothing styles in the UK and Australia changed. With the aim of saving energy, short skirts, little de tail and a focus on usefulness became normal. Now, the best thing we can do is buy fewer new clothes and wear them longer by controlling our desire.
Australians buy a lot of clothing, about 56 pieces a year. That makes them the second biggest country after the USA, whose people buy many clothes. Clothing prices have dropped a lot in the past few years and people have more clothes.
The Hot or Cool Institute in Berlin says a wardrobe (衣柜) of 74 pieces of clothing (including shoes but not underwear) is enough for people in a two-season climate and 85 for those in a four-season climate like most Australians. If we buy 10 to 12 new things a year, we can replace our clothing in about seven years.
If we care about sustainable (可持续的) development, we need to change our choices that don’t fit the climate crisis. Clothes should show a person’s situation and identity. This might mean our clothes change as we make different buying decisions, like in World War II. We might look different, but that change shows our values in action.
12. What does the author stress in the first paragraph?
A. The problems with the fashion industry.
B. The bad influences of greenhouse gas emissions.
C. The importance of reducing greenhouse gases.
D. The necessity of developing the fashion industry.
13. Why were clothing styles changed during World War II in the UK?
A. To follow the fashion. B. To save energy.
C. To increase clothing production. D. To develop a healthier lifestyle.
14. What does the Berlin-based Hot or Cool Institute suggest doing?
A. Avoiding buying expensive clothes. B. Clearing up one’s wardrobe in time.
C. Controlling the number of clothes we buy. D. Replacing one’s wardrobe when necessary.
15. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Shop Less and Dress Properly
B. Wear Wisely and Live Sustainably
C. How Many Clothes Should We Buy Every Year?
D. What Should We Wear to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。时装行业的排放量占全球排放量的10%,给应对气候危机带来了很大压力,作者在文章中提倡改变价值观念,减少衣物的购买和浪费,过可持续的生活。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The fashion industry makes up to 10% of global emissions-more than aviation and shipping. It also causes other problems, like biodiversity loss, pollution, landfill problems and unsafe work.(时装业的排放量占全球排放量的10%,比航空业和航运业还要多。它还造成其他问题,如生物多样性丧失、污染、垃圾填埋问题和不安全的工作)”可知,作者在第一段中强调了时装行业带来的问题。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“During World War II, clothing styles in the UK and Australia changed. With the aim of saving energy, short skirts, little de tail and a focus on usefulness became normal.(第二次世界大战期间,英国和澳大利亚的服装风格发生了变化。为了节约能源,短裙、小尾巴和注重实用性成为了一种常态)”可知,二战期间英国的服装风格发生变化是为了节约能源。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The Hot or Cool Institute in Berlin says a wardrobe (衣柜) of 74 pieces of clothing (including shoes but not underwear) is enough for people in a two- season climate and 85 for those in a four- season climate like most Australians. If we buy 10 to 12 new things a year, we can replace our clothing in about seven years.(柏林的冷热研究所表示,74件衣服(包括鞋子但不包括内衣)的衣橱(衣柜)对于两季气候的人来说足够了,而对于像大多数澳大利亚人这样四季气候的人来说,85件衣服就足够了。如果我们每年买10到12件新东西,我们可以在大约7年内更换我们的衣服)”可知,总部位于柏林的冷热研究所的建议侧重于限制衣服的数量。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“If we care about sustainable (可持续的) development, we need to change our choices that don’t fit the climate crisis. Clothes should show a person’s situation and identity. This might mean our clothes change as we make different buying decisions, like in World War II. We might look different, but that change shows our values in action.(如果我们关心可持续发展,我们就需要改变与气候危机不相符的选择。衣服应该显示一个人的处境和身份。这可能意味着当我们做出不同的购买决定时,我们的衣服会发生变化,就像第二次世界大战一样。我们可能看起来不同,但这种变化表明我们的价值观在行动)”可知,文章主要是讲为了应对气候危机,我们需要改变价值观念,减少衣物的购买和浪费,过可持续的生活,B项“明智穿着,可持续生活”符合文意。故选B。

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。
Once upon a time, in a peaceful and quiet village, there lived a young artist, whose name is Alex. Alex had a special ability of painting beautiful views, but there was one big problem-Alex was afraid to try new things. His fear held him back from trying new styles and techniques though he had a natural gift.
One day, Alex saw a notice for a summer art camp in a big city. The camp promised to help artists learn new techniques and increase their creativity. Alex felt excited but also very worried, making himself hesitant (犹豫的) to take the chance.
However, after thinking it over for a while, Alex decided to be brave and go to the art camp. It was a chance to leave the familiar environment, learn new techniques and find new ways to be creative.
When Alex arrived at the art camp, he found there were artists from all over the world, each one with their own unique style. The place was full of energy and everyone was eager to explore new ideas. But Alex thought everyone else was better than him and that he couldn’t learn anything or improve. Alex even didn’t know if it would work, so he began to think of leaving.
When he went to tell the organizer that he wanted to leave, the organizer told him, “Maybe you can just stay for one week. After that, you can make a decision.” Alex thought for a while. The friendly atmosphere (气氛) and the love for creativity made Alex feel determined (坚定的). Finally, Alex agreed to follow the organizer’s suggestion.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Alex prepared himself for possible challenges.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the art camp neared its end, Alex found himself different.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Alex prepared himself for possible challenges. At the beginning, he was quite nervous and had doubts about his abilities. However, he gradually opened up and started interacting with other artists. They shared their experiences, techniques and inspired each other. Alex began to experiment with new styles and materials, pushing his boundaries. He discovered that he enjoyed the process of trying and failing, as it led him to learn and grow. With each passing day, Alex’s confidence increased and he felt more comfortable in exploring his creativity.
As the art camp neared its end, Alex found himself different. He was no longer the hesitant artist who was afraid of trying new things. Instead, he had transformed into a confident and creative individual who was eager to explore and learn. The camp had not only helped him improve his skills but also boosted his self-esteem. Alex realized that he had the potential to become a great artist if he continued to challenge himself and embrace new experiences. He was grateful for the opportunity and decided to pursue his passion with renewed vigor.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,本文主要讲述了年轻艺术家Alex克服对尝试新事物的恐惧,在参加艺术营中,Alex最初因自我怀疑而想离开,但在组织者建议下决定留下。通过与其他艺术家的交流和实验,他逐渐找回自信,并发现享受创新与挑战的过程。艺术营结束时,Alex已成为一个自信、愿意不断探索和学习的人,决定继续在艺术领域追求自己的梦想。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Alex为可能的挑战做好了准备。”可知,第一个段落描写了Alex在艺术营克服挑战时的行为和心理转变,结合了情绪、努力和环境的支持等元素。
②由第二段首句内容“随着艺术营接近尾声,Alex发现自己变了。”可知,第二个段落着重描写Alex的个人成长和信心提升,成功地表现出了他的变化和未来的坚定信念,并决定以新的活力去追求他的激情。
2.续写线索:
做好准备迎接挑战——一开始感觉紧张对自己有怀疑——与艺术家相互交流和分享经验以及尝试失败——重塑信心和探索自己的创造力——愈发自信和有创造力——对夏令营的个人感悟

Teens who are just about to enter high school will face a problem-which sport to choose. Some teenagers have never been involved in organized sports and lots of stress may come into play. If this sounds like your teen, encourage them to try the sport that most attracts them.
Here is a list of some of the top favored sports by teenagers in the USA.
Basketball: It is the most popular sport with almost half a million girls playing in school teams. And more than 5.8 million boys and girls play competitively, choosing it as their favorite sport and playing in school teams. It’s a good team sport.
American football: It is no longer the number one sport played among teenagers, mainly because of the rise of other sports. Some parents believe it to be a dangerous sport but, with the right coach and environment as well as the equipment, it should be perfectly safe to take part in.
Volleyball: It is excellent for girls and is a good game to play in a team. It is the fifth favored sport for girls and they get confidence in the sport. It’s also a good idea to involve them in competitive volleyball.
Track and field: If your teen likes individual sport, track and field is good to take part in. Track and field includes running, throwing and jumping. Track and field can provide a chance for almost any youth to get out and compete.
1. What is the main reason for American football’s being less attractive?
A. It is considered a dangerous sport. B. Other sports grow in popularity.
C. It takes up too much of teenagers’ time. D. Students are no longer interested in team sports.
2. Which sport can help make girls confident?
A. Basketball. B. American football. C. Volleyball. D. Track and field.
3. Who is the text aimed at?
A. Teenagers. B. Coaches. C. Teachers. D. Parents.
B
Gustavo Dudamel comes back for another show. It’s the first night for the Los Angeles Philharmonic in California. When people see the conductor, the noise inside the Walt Disney Concert Hall gets louder. Dudamel walks to the stage and raises his head and arms. The group starts playing the Star Wars theme. At the end, people all jump up. It’s the kind of response you’d see at a concert by Taylor Swift, a very popular pop singer.
Dudamel says later that music is not just for fun. It brings us together even if we come in feeling very different. Under Dudamel’s leadership, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has spread the uniting power of music across differences in money, class, color and age. And its Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) has worked with more than 1,500 kids, giving them instruments and lessons so they can perform.
Dudamel grew up in a working- class family in Venezuela. His mom was a singing teacher. His dad played in a band. But what was more important for Dudamel’s music al growth was El Sistema, Venezuela’s national classical music education and performance program for poor kids. Dudamel joined when he was 5. It was El Sistema that gave him a violin three years later.
The YOLA program started in 2007, after Dudamel showed El Sistema’s work in Venezuela to members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic organization. The roots (根) Dudamel put down in Los Angeles have spread far beyond Disney Hall. In October 2021, the Beckmen YOLA Center opened its doors in Inglewood, California. The former bank building had been turned into a place for lessons, recording and performance.
Dudamel remembers someone once said: The young musicians shouldn’t be satisfied with a program that is just “good enough”. They should be given the best instruments, the best teachers, and the most inspiring places to grow and do well.
4. Why is Taylor Swift mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To show Dudamel’s popularity.
B. To lead in the topic to discuss.
C. To explain the difficulty in conducting.
D. To compare the differences between Taylor Swift and Dudamel.
5. What is the purpose of YOLA?
A. To offer chances to adult musicians. B. To get the youth of different backgrounds together.
C. To provide musical education for the young. D. To help schools with music lessons.
6. What helps most in Dudamel’s musical development?
A. His parents’ experience. B. His natural ability in music.
C. The YOLA program’s support. D. His study in El Sistema.
7. What can be learned from paragraph 4?
A. The YOLA program has achieved more than expected.
B. The bank building was perfect for performance.
C. The Disney Hall cannot hold all of the YOLA members.
D. California needs more support for young musicians.
C
More than a billion young people across the world don’t have an Internet connection. That fact is holding back global (全球的) change, says the World Wide Web inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. In a letter he has written for the Web’s 32nd birthday today, Sir Tim is calling for a global push to connect all young people safely to the Internet.
Sir Tim’s letter replies to a report from United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) at the end of last year, which showed two- thirds of the world’s school- age children-1.3 billion children aged 3 to 17-don’t have an Internet connection in their homes. The fear is that this not enough Internet access (机会) could cost them their futures by separating them from the world, and keeping education out of reach.
UNICEF says a digital divide means children and young people from the poorest families and countries are missing out. And it is concerned that these children are falling even further behind other children, with very little opportunity to catch up.
Today’s letter, published by Sir Tim and Rosemary Leith from the Web Foundation, stresses young leaders who are using digital technology to tackle some of the world’s problems like inequality, environmental issues and other global challenges.
But Rosemary says these opportunities need to be open to all: “If half of young people are unable to use the tools to develop in a digital world-to learn new skills, run businesses, and build communities-society as a whole will miss out on their abilities, ideas and efforts.”
Sir Tim is also calling on tech companies and governments to work on ways to protect young people from harm online and make young people’s rights and well- being a top priority (优先事项).
8. How does Sir Tim find the fact that many young people live without the Internet?
A. Worrying. B. Satisfying. C. Strange. D. Acceptable.
9. What is UNICEF worried about?
A. The slow development of the Internet.
B. The high cost of Internet connect ion for common families.
C. The influence of the digital products on children’s health.
D. The widening differences in digital access between the poor and the rich.
10. What does the underlined word “tackle” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Check. B. Record. C. Understand. D. Solve.
11. What do Rosemary’s words show?
A. Digital tools should be used in educating students.
B. The abilities and ideas of young people will benefit society.
C. Digital tools are the most important in learning new skills.
D. Internet support should be seriously considered by the government.
D
As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says, to avoid a too- hot world, we need to do all we can right now to control greenhouse gas emissions (排放). The fashion industry makes up to 10% of global emissions-more than aviation and shipping. It also causes other problems, like biodiversity loss, pollution, landfill problems and unsafe work.
It’s not the first time that people have changed their clothes for a crisis (危机). During World War II, clothing styles in the UK and Australia changed. With the aim of saving energy, short skirts, little de tail and a focus on usefulness became normal. Now, the best thing we can do is buy fewer new clothes and wear them longer by controlling our desire.
Australians buy a lot of clothing, about 56 pieces a year. That makes them the second biggest country after the USA, whose people buy many clothes. Clothing prices have dropped a lot in the past few years and people have more clothes.
The Hot or Cool Institute in Berlin says a wardrobe (衣柜) of 74 pieces of clothing (including shoes but not underwear) is enough for people in a two-season climate and 85 for those in a four-season climate like most Australians. If we buy 10 to 12 new things a year, we can replace our clothing in about seven years.
If we care about sustainable (可持续的) development, we need to change our choices that don’t fit the climate crisis. Clothes should show a person’s situation and identity. This might mean our clothes change as we make different buying decisions, like in World War II. We might look different, but that change shows our values in action.
12. What does the author stress in the first paragraph?
A. The problems with the fashion industry.
B. The bad influences of greenhouse gas emissions.
C. The importance of reducing greenhouse gases.
D. The necessity of developing the fashion industry.
13. Why were clothing styles changed during World War II in the UK?

Once upon a time, in a peaceful and quiet village, there lived a young artist, whose name is Alex. Alex had a special ability of painting beautiful views, but there was one big problem-Alex was afraid to try new things. His fear held him back from trying new styles and techniques though he had a natural gift.
One day, Alex saw a notice for a summer art camp in a big city. The camp promised to help artists learn new techniques and increase their creativity. Alex felt excited but also very worried, making himself hesitant (犹豫) to take the chance.
However, after thinking it over for a while, Alex decided to be brave and go to the art camp. It was a chance to leave the familiar environment, learn new techniques and find new ways to be creative.
When Alex arrived at the art camp, he found there were artists from all over the world, each one with their own unique style. The place was full of energy and everyone was eager to explore new ideas. But Alex thought everyone else was better than him and that he couldn’t learn anything or improve. Alex even didn’t know if it would work, so he began to think of leaving.
When he went to tell the organizer that he wanted to leave, the organizer told him, “Maybe you can just stay for one week. After that, you can make a decision.” Alex thought for a while. The friendly atmosphere (气氛) and the love for creativity made Alex feel determined (坚定的). Finally, Alex agreed to follow the organizer’s suggestion.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
