However, have you ever taken a moment to consider that for countless individuals worldwide, a sewing machine goes beyond its role as merely a tool, instead frequently serving as their crucial source of income? When Margaret Jankowski discovered this, she chose to establish The Sewing Machine Project, an organization dedicated to collecting donated sewing machines and distributing them in remote areas such as Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and Kosovo. Additionally, the organization seeks to assist communities in Detroit and New Orleans. After a tsunami struck Sri Lanka, Margaret was profoundly affected by the tale of a specific woman. The disaster ruined the woman’s village, resulting in her losing everything, including her sewing machine, which had been her primary means of earning a living. Moved by this story, Margaret made the decision to gather used sewing machines and ship them to Sri Lanka. After she announced her idea on a local news program, donations of sewing machines began pouring in from the community. The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverished people around the world. For them, sewing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at home, a sewing machine can be the door to brighter financial opportunities. A sewing machine can also enable many to preserve their cultural identity. After Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skillfully-made suits for their own traditional festival lost many of their sewing machines. Since then, the non-profit organization has distributed hundreds of machines among the creators of the costumes, helping them maintain their tradition as well as their income. 24. What is the purpose of including a question in the first paragraph? A. To question the importance of sewing. B. To emphasize the role of sewing. C. To introduce the sewing project. D. To provide background information about sewing. 25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Inspiration for the project. B. The experience of Margaret in 2004. C. The story of a woman in Sri Lanka. D. Destruction of the 2004 tsunami. 26. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 4 mean? A. uneducated. B. badly-off. C. exhausted. D. pessimistic. 27. Why is the community in New Orleans mentioned in the end? A. To highlight its cultural identity. B. To prove the importance of keeping traditions. C. To explain how organizations can provide immediate disaster relief. D. To show another function of sewing machines. C More than 80 percent of China’s public transport buses are new energy vehicles, the Ministry of Transport said on Tuesday. There were 682,500 public buses on the country’s roads by the end of last year, with554,400 of them — 81.2 percent — eschewing (避开) fossil- fuel engines. The country’s public bus network has expanded to 79,800 routes, with over 20,000 kilometers of dedicated bus lanes. Last year, China’s buses provided 41.6 billion passenger trips, according to Geng Jinjun, an official from the ministry. He said the ministry and related departments have accelerated improvements to regulations, policies and standards in recent years to further the development of urban public transportation. “Urban public transport is experiencing a new stage of policy opportunities,” Geng said, adding that the ministry is drafting policies to promote its development, as well as detailed rules for the renewal of buses and their batteries. He said it is important to improve transportation network plans, enhance the integration (整合) of various urban transportation modes, and innovate services tailored to local needs, such as public transport to work, schools and hospitals. The ministry also aims to improve barrier — free services for the elderly. In Cangzhou, Hebei province, the quality of public transportation, especially public bus services, has improved in recent years, according to Wang Tianyong, deputy director of the transportation bureau. “The province has continuously updated the facilities and equipment, and improved the quality of travel,” he said. Cangzhou launched a free“medical express bus” to help patients travel to hospital in June last year. The service runs every 30 minutes. Staff are available on board to help passengers complete medical registration through their mobile phones to save time at the hospital. To benefit patients living outside Cangzhou, a large parking lot has been set up at the entrance of a freeway in the city. Patients can park their cars there and ride the free bus to the hospital. 28. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. About 81% of the vehicles are powered by new energy. B. Some bus lanes are in bad condition. C. Urban public transport has more regulations. D. China’s public transport has improved a lot. 29. What can we do to improve public transport according to Geng? A. Put forward more strict rules. B. Provide service needed by the locals. C. Build new roads to different places. D. Help the elderly to drive freely. 30. What can be inferred from Cangzhou’s practice? A. Travel becomes faster than before. B. Citizens can take free public buses. C. Patients’ registration is more flexible. D. New vehicles appear in the suburbs. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. New energy vehicles in China. B. The turning point of public transport. C. Good service provided by public transport. D. Developments in China’s public transport. D Twice a year for the last 29 years, scientists have walked through the same sections of tallgrass prairie (大草原) in Kansas and recorded as many species as they could find. The goal was to determine the impact of American bison (野牛) on the ecosystem. Tallgrass prairies used to cover a huge part of Texas. Today this habitat is at risk of disappearing, present in just four percent of its former range. Now, decades of efforts and data show a surprising result: When bison were allowed to seek food through prairie, they increased plant species richness by 86 percent. “The big effect bison had knocked us out, ”says Zak Ratajczak, an ecologist at Kansas State University. “I don’t think anyone would have prognosticated this ahead of time. ”252 earlier similar studies worldwide showed bison’s effects were relatively slight. As for reasons, Ratajczak has some theories. Bison tend to choose one area, eating everything up there, while leaving another area of the prairie untouched. They also go around forming disturbances in the soil, forming holes. These are areas where they roll around and shake off their winter coats, and that creates little spots of unique types of soil features. The spots harden and collect water after rain, for example, creating wetlands, which allow more plants to grow. By promoting different types of plant growth, scientists believe bison could help their ecosystems become more adaptable to droughts. Millions of bison lived in the US in the mid 1800s, before the government killed the population, reducing their numbers to a few hundred by 1889. The findings suggest ongoing efforts to reintroduce bison could have enormous and long-term benefits. “That is a relationship that was cut off,” says Jason Baldes, a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe. “As we restore this connection, it favors bison. And bison, by their presence, boost our land.” 32. What was the purpose of scientists walking through the same sections of tall grass prairie in Kansas? A. To seek greater biodiversity. B. To record many species as they could find. C. To research the reason why this habitat is at risk. D. To identify the influence of bison on the ecosystem. 33. What does the underlined word “prognosticated” mean in paragraph 2? A. Considered. B. Accepted. C. Predicted. D. Ignored. 34. How do bison promote plant species richness? A. By keeping away from prairies. B. By changing soil characteristics. C. By providing food and habits. D. By helping plants survive droughts. 35. What does Baldes think of the reintroduction of bison? A. It is a win-win situation. B. It should be done long ago. C. It has a long-lasting benefit. D. It requires efforts from many sides. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的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。 Launch Your Spiritual Journey A spiritual journey is a personal adventure where you dive deep into understanding and connecting with your inner self. 36 .To achieve a profound sense of your spiritual essence.

The temperature was below zero so I ducked into the subway station, hoping to get warm.  Warmth came into my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the nearby food court(餐饮区) was tempting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor's eyes it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for a handout(施舍). But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out（激烈斗争）: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him.  While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. "Excuse me, sir," began the husband. "We just finished eating and our appetite wasn't as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this food into use?" The kind stranger handed a large container with food. "Thank you." came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor's response to his sudden good fortune.  He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened his mouth and suddenly, he stopped.  The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, hatless and gloveless. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one taking action._____________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food at the food court.___________________ 英语试题答案 听力 1—5 CBBAA 6—10 CBCAB 11—15 ACBCB 16—20 ACABC 阅读 21-23.

I know you must be very depressed about it, but please don’t lose your heart. First and foremost, please know that your efforts are deeply appreciated and admired. Besides, you’d better remember success is not always measured by winning elections or achieving specific titles. The true measure of success lies in the growth you’ve experienced along the way and the lessons you’ve learned. Every challenge we face offers a chance to learn and to be better. When it comes to success, it’s perseverance that plays the key part. Thus, hold up your head and be ready for the next chance. Best wishes. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 My neighbor was the only one taking action. Quickly pulling aside his miracle meal, my neighbor rose quickly and guided the elderly man to share his seat. Numb with cold, the old man didn't expect the invitation, moving clumsily. Hardly had he seated himself when my neighbor tenderly put his own jacket over the older man's shoulders. Finally, he said "Can you help me out?" pointing at the meal and placing the steaming cup of soup in the stranger's hands. Seeing this, my head and heart stopped battling and I had my decision. Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food at the food court. What my neighbor said exactly spoke my mind. With regret, I felt a duty to do the same. Respectfully and cautiously, I approached them with steaming soup and a sandwich. People around cast an approving smile in my direction. "Can you help me out?" I asked. "Why not?" he added jokingly, "But only if you share the sandwich, which is too much for a man of my age." It wasn't until that day that I truly acquired the meaning of generosity and sharing. I left the subway station feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible. 录音原文 Text 1 W: I just bought some strawberries from the supermarket. The salesperson said they were fresh from the farm.

But for those ten long days while I was waiting for the results, I was a nervous wreck. Frankly, I could have handled it better. Don’t Be Hard on Yourself We all cope differently in times of stress. A 2017 US study of people waiting for medical results found that just under half reported a “change in emotional state”—and 85 percent of this group said they were anxious. Check the Small Stuff If you’re expecting a phone call, check which number you’ll be called on and at approximately what time. If you have an in-person appointment, plan your journey in advance. It sounds obvious, but it’s these all-important details that tend to slip through the net, particularly when we’re under stress. Try to Distract Yourself Sticking to your normal routine is usually the best option. Being physically active gives your brain something else to focus on, which helps lower stress and anxiety levels. Don’t Consult “Dr. Google” Every time a scary new thought pops into your head, it’s all too easy to start googling symptoms and potential outcomes. But remember, whatever information you find online won’t be specific to your situation and could well be inaccurate or misleading. 第 2 页 共 5 页 英语试题 第 1 页 共 5 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
