B For many,denim (is a type of cloth;but for London-based artist Ian Berry,it's a creative medium.For the last two decades,Berry has used the navy blue cloth to create various portraits ()and even photorealistic descriptions of California.And his latest creation continues to reveal the unexpected and innovative ways denim can be used.Titled Secret Garden and recently on display at the Garden Museum in London,this work reimagines a peaceful setting with a fish pond,flowers,and plants-all made from recycled denim jeans. The Secret Garden show was first exhibited at the Children's Museum of the Arts in New 努 York in 2017 and has since been displayed in various site-specific locations and galleries worldwide.Originally designed for a young audience,Berry aimed to inspire children to 学 reflect on our interaction with nature. "The idea came from thinking many kids don't have their own gardens and thinking of 第 community gardens located between buildings and trying to inspire them to seek them out, Berry says."It also gave the opportunity to talk about sustainability as well as helping young 2 minds think about where things come from."The artist even showed the kids a cotton plant to explain where jeans come from."It was amazing to see so many confused at the idea,"he 别 recalls."It enabled educators to talk about how in the show plants were turned into pants, then back to plants again." 阔 While the most recent Secret Garden show isn't specifically designed for children,it still arouses a childlike sense of wonder.Visitors can walk through the denim garden path and find 够 plants hanging above them.Various plants and flowers are depicted in shades of indigo )There's even a peaceful pond at the heart of the garden,featuring denim koi fish,and a 潮 central water feature.Every area of the garden showcases such an impressive level of details that it's easy to forget that the entire show is handmade from denim. 24.What did Ian Berry use denim for? A.A kind of cloth for clothing. B.Covers for various portraits. C.Bags for flowers and plants. D.Materials for his works of art. 25.What's the aim of the Secret Garden show?

C The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to lear about differences.And there are very sensible reasons to do so.It helps you avoid cultura misunderstandings.But focusing on differences alone can have its downsides.For one thing there's a likely chance you'll be wrong.Focusing on differences can also be quite mentall taxing.So,if you don't focus on differences,what then can you do to be more effective acros 显 cultures?In our experience,an equally reasonable and highly effective alternative technique i to focus on similarities.And this change in perspective can have some pretty powerful effects. 垫 If you think about it,this is probably exactly how you establish connections ane relationships in your own culture.You don't approach a person thinking about all th 啟 potential ways you could be different;instead,you naturally gravitate to similarities,to finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship.Although w tend to approach cross-cultural interactions quite differently,the same technique actually works just as well across cultures.When focused on similarities,you're open to-and,ir B fact,looking for-a potential connection.Perhaps it's a hobby you share in common with coworker,or maybe both of you at a business meeting abroad have families you're trying tc connect with.By focusing on similarities you have the power to create connections and builo 都 relationships that either eliminate cultural differences or make them irrelevant. Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you 潮 see them as an individual.On the other hand,focusing on similarities means you are suited to the particularities of the specific person you are interacting with.This is more likely to result 旅 in the other party feeling seen and heard for who they are,and can kick off a positive lift of mutual(相互的)openness and trust. 28.Why do people focus on differences in a multicultural company? A.To emphasize their own culture. B.To reduce unnecessary troubles. C.To take advantage of other culture. D.To make the workplace multicultural. 29.What's the significance of focusing on similarities in a multicultural company? A.The foundation of connections. B.The start of work efficiency. C.The origin of the hobbies. D.The improvement of your family. 【高二英语第5页（共10页）】 ·25-246B· CS扫描全能王 亿人■在用的扫描Ap 30.What does the underlined word "eliminate"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Maintain. B.Strengthen. C.Remove. D.Worsen. 31.Which is the advantage of focusing on similarities in the last paragraph? A.Making others feel valued. B.Making yourself centred. C.Indicating your interest. D.Making others adapt to your culture. D More than 3 million square kilometers of the Asian elephant's historic habitat range has been lost in just three centuries,a new report from an international scientific team led by a researcher at University of California San Diego reveals.This dramatic decline may underlie present-day conflicts between elephants and people,the authors argue. Developing new insights from a unique data set that models land-use change over three centuries,the research team led by Shermin de Silva found that habitats suitable for Asian elephants have been cut by nearly two-thirds within the past 300 years. The largest living land animal in Asia,endangered Asian elephants inhabited grasslands and rainforest ecosystems that once crossed the continent.Analyzing land-use data from the years 850 to 2015,the researchers describe in the journal Scientific Reports a troubling situation in which they estimate that more than 64%of historic suitable elephant habitat across Asia has been lost.While elephant habitats remained relatively stable prior to the 1700s,land-use practices in Asia,including forest decrease,farming and agriculture,cut the average habitat size more than 80%,from 99,000 to 16,000 square kilometers. The study also suggests that the remaining elephant populations today may not have enough habitat areas.While 100%of the area within 100 kilometers of the current elephant range was considered suitable habitat in 1700,the proportion ()has since declined to less than 50%by 2015.This sets up a high potential for conflicts with people living in those areas as elephant populations change their behavior and adjust to more human-dominated spaces. "In the 1600s and 1700s there is evidence of a dramatic change in land use,not just in Asia,but globally,"said de Silva,an assistant professor in the School of Biological Sciences' Department of Ecology,Behavior and Evolution,and founder of the nonprofit Trunks& Leaves."Around the world we see a really dramatic transformation that has serious consequences that last even to this day." 32.What did the new report focus on? A.The number of conflicts between elephants and people. B.Ways to deal with conflicts between man and animals. C.The measures taken for agricultural models of land-use. D.Changes of the living habitats for Asian elephants. 33.What's the main cause of elephant habitat loss? A.The increase of elephant population. 【高二英语第6页（共10页）】 ·25-246B· C扫描全能王 亿人在用的扫描Ap明 B.People's living styles in the past 300 years. C.Human activities in elephants'ecosystems. D.Endangered elephants'bad health conditions. 34.What's de Silva's attitude towards the environment? A.Positive. B.Concerned. C.Tolerant. D.Indifferent. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.Conflicts between elephants and humans. B.Loss of Asian elephants'habitat range. C.Necessary change for elephant populations. D.Human activities'influence on Asian elephants. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Food loss occurs at every step in the food supply chain from production to consumption.
