Miguel Angel Gallo, born in Barcelona in 1933, has always had a passion for art. However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time. And about 10 years ago, Gallo’s wife was diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease, and her condition worsened to the point that she had to move into a care home. This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo’s artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old.
Gallo initially studied mechanical engineering in Barcelona and later worked for a company in Zaragoza. In 1966, he pursued management studies at IESE Business School in Barcelona, and by 1968, he had become an associate professor there.
With his academic background, Gallo was determined to study at a respected institution. However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead. He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gallo seven years to complete it. He graduated at the age of 90.
Gallo admires Francisco de Zurbarán for his masterful use of white, and Joaquín Sorolla for his skillful use of light. Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty. I don’t mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.”
Some of Gallo’s works were featured in an exhibition in Graus, a small village in the Pyrenees, where they were displayed for six months. Gallo humbly acknowledged, “After completing my degree, would I call myself an artist? I don’t know, but at least now I have a piece of paper that says I am.”
4. What can be learnt about Gallo from paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. He prioritized his family over his interest. B. He became a professor in his 20s.
C. He had a natural talent for doing business. D. He lived with poor health for long.
5. What happened to Gallo when he applied to study art in Barcelona?
A. He was required to study longer. B. He was not advised to paint.
C. He was introduced to other institutes. D. He was not allowed to get a degree.
6. How has studying art affected Gallo?
A. He has reflected on his health condition. B. He has become much humbler.
C. He has reinterpreted the meaning of wealth. D. He has developed true friendships.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Miguel Ángel Gallo: An Art Genius. B. Miguel Ángel Gallo: A Late Start to Art.
C. An Art Exhibition of Miguel Ángel Gallo. D. Artistic Principles Set by Miguel Ángel Gallo.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了米格尔·安赫尔·加洛于1933年出生于巴塞罗那,一直对艺术充满热情。然而,由于财力有限,有13个孩子要养活和教育,当时成为艺术家对他来说不是一个实际的选择。大约10年前,加洛的妻子被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默病,她的病情恶化到不得不搬进护理院的地步。这段充满挑战的时期标志着加洛艺术之旅的开始,当时他已经83岁了。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time. (然而,由于经济资源有限,13个孩子要养活和教育,成为一名艺术家对他来说并不是一个现实的选择。)”可知,由于经济资源有限且要养育和教育13个孩子,成为艺术家对他来说不是一个现实的选择,说明他把家庭放在了兴趣之前。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead. He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” (然而,当他申请在巴塞罗那学习艺术时,他被鼓励去学习艺术史。他很坚定地回答:“不,我想画画。”)”可知,当他申请在巴塞罗那学习艺术时,别人鼓励他学习艺术史而不是绘画,即他不被建议画画。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty. I don’t mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.” (回顾自己的艺术之旅,他说:“学习艺术让我更加坚信,生命中真正伟大的东西是真、善、美。我不介意赚钱,但其他事情对我来说越来越重要。”)”可知,学习艺术让他更加坚信生活中真正伟大的东西是善良、真理和美丽,他不介意赚钱,但越来越觉得这些其他的东西对他来说才是最重要的,说明他重新诠释了财富的意义,不再只看重金钱。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo’s artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old. (这段充满挑战的时期标志着加洛艺术之旅的开始,当时他已经83岁了。)”和第三段中“The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gall o seven years to complete it. He graduated at the age of 90. (课程最初设定为四年,但由于需要平衡他的家庭责任,他花了7年时间才完成。他90岁毕业。)”可知,文章主要讲述了米格尔·安赫尔·加洛虽然一直热爱艺术,但由于家庭原因直到 83 岁才开始他的艺术之旅,经过努力在 90 岁时完成艺术课程毕业,所以“Miguel Ángel Gallo: A Late Start to Art”(米格尔·安赫尔·加洛:一个晚开始的艺术学习者)作为标题最合适。故选B项。
C
Making fabric from waste potato plants could offer a more sustainable alternative to pure cotton, as pressure grows on the fashion industry to reduce its environmental impact.
Potatoes pose a headache for farmers. The tubers (块茎) are harvested and eaten, but the above-ground plant contains solanine, which is poisonous, so it can’t be used for animal feed. Farmers usually remove this matter before potatoes are harvested.
Now, a UK startup company, Fibe, wants to avoid this waste by extracting (提取) fibres from potato stems (茎) to make a sustainable fabric. In April, it introduced the world’s first potato thread (线), a mixture of 75 per cent cotton and 25 per cent potato fibres.
The approach began as a project by a group of design engineering students, including Gal-Shohet, at Imperial College London. Tasked with designing a sustainable business concept, the group investigated using waste plants to create a more sustainable alternative to cotton. The students chose potato plants because they are mass-produced all over the world, are rich in fibres and their leaves have no other practical use. They turned their idea into a business after graduating in 2022.
Fibe primarily uses non-biological process to extract the fibres. “Once raw fibres are extracted, they are cleaned and graded to produce soft balls. The potato fibres are similar in quality to cotton,” says Gal-Shohet. However, because the land is already being used to grow potatoes, potato fibres require 99.7 per cent less water and produce 82 per cent fewer carbon emissions (排放), as well as needing no additional land, according to Fibe’s internal analysis.
Muhammad Tausif at the University of Leeds, UK, who has worked with Fibe, says industry demand for sustainable fibres is growing, but the company will need to prove its potato fibres have the“length, fineness and strength” to compete with cotton. “For a fibre to be successful and to be made into a product, these are the key factors,” he says.
8. What do the underlined words “this matter” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Pure cotton. B. The poisonous tuber.
C. Animal feed. D. The above-ground plant.
9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Add some background information.
C. Provide some advice for the students. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
10. What does Fibe’s internal analysis highlight about using potato fibres?
A. Its standard requirements. B. Its environmental advantages.
C. Its technical barriers. D. Its wide applications.
11. What does Tausif expect of Fibe?
A. It should demonstrate its fibres’competitive qualities.
B It should secure business partners as soon as possible.
C. It should make a big difference to the fibre industry.
D. It should launch appealing products into the market.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是篇说明文。文章介绍了一家英国初创公司Fibe试图通过从土豆茎中提取纤维来制造可持续面料以减少时尚行业的环境影响。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The tubers (块茎) are harvested and eaten, but the above-ground plant contains solanine, which is poisonous, so it can’t be used for animal feed. Farmers usually remove this matter before potatoes are harvested.(块茎被收获并食用,但地上部分的植物含有毒性生物碱,所以不能用作动物饲料。农民通常在土豆收获之前去除这些物质)”可知,农民通常在土豆收获之前去除地上部分的植物。所以“this matter”指的是“地上的植物”。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The approach began as a project by a group of design engineering students, including Gal-Shohet, at Imperial College London. Tasked with designing a sustainable business concept, the group investigated using waste plants to create a more sustainable alternative to cotton. The students chose potato plants because they are mass-produced all over the world, are rich in fibres and their leaves have no other practical use. They turned their idea into a business after graduating in 2022.(这种方法最初是伦敦帝国理工学院的一群设计工程专业学生(包括Gal-Shohet)的一个项目。该小组的任务是设计一个可持续的商业概念,他们研究了利用废物处理厂来创造一种更可持续的棉花替代品。学生们之所以选择马铃薯植物,是因为它们在世界各地大量生产,富含纤维,而且它们的叶子没有其他实际用途。他们在2022年毕业后把自己的想法变成了生意。)”可推知,作者在第四段是为了增加一些背景信息。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“However, because the land is already being used to grow potatoes, potato fibres require 99.7 per cent less water and produce 82 per cent fewer carbon emissions (然而,因为土地已经用于种植土豆,所以土豆纤维需要的水比正常种植使用少99.7%,且产生的碳排放量减少了82%)”可知,分析结果突出了使用土豆纤维的环境优势。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Muhammad Tausif at the University of Leeds, UK, who has worked with Fibe, says industry demand for sustainable fibres is growing, but the company will need to prove its potato fibres have the“length, fineness and strength” to compete with cotton. (英国利兹大学(University of Leeds)的穆罕默德•陶西夫(Muhammad Tausif)曾与纤维公司合作,他表示,行业对可持续纤维的需求正在增长,但该公司需要证明其马铃薯纤维具有“长度、细度和强度”,可以与棉花竞争)”可知,Tausif期望Fibe能够展示其纤维的竞争质量。故选A。
D
Pompeii’s plaster cast (石膏模型) human figures aren’t who they were assumed to be, genetic tests have revealed, highlighting the way idealised stories can be projected onto archaeological (考古的) evidence. The analysis also reveals that the demography (人口学) of Pompeii was far more complicated and diverse than previously thought.
When Vesuvius erupted in AD 79 many of Pompeii’s residents were covered and died, and as their bodies were destroyed gradually by natural processes, cavities (窟窿) formed that perfectly preserved their positions in their final moments. In the 19th century, archaeologists developed a method of pouring plaster into the cavities to make life-like casts. Since then, more than 100 of these casts have been made, preserving the victims’ shapes along with any remaining bones. However, it has long been known that many of the plaster casts were arranged into different poses and sometimes placed together to add to the drama of the Pompeii story, says Valeria Amoretti at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii in Naples, Italy.
To learn more about who these people were, Amoretti and her teammates examined 14 of the plaster casts and extracted DNA from bones in five of them.
What they found has completely changed the established interpretations of who they were. An adult wearing a golden bracelet (手镯) with a child on the lap was long believed to be the child’s mother. The DNA analysis shows the adult is actually a male who is biologically unrelated to the child. A nearby figure, formerly interpreted as being the father, was also unrelated to the supposed mother and child.
Alissa Mittnik at Harvard University says the study highlights the importance of applying science before interpreting archaeology at face value. “Ultimately, it reminds us that the most obvious, dramatic or sensational explanations do not always hold true, encouraging us to stay aware of and question our assumptions, ” she says.
12. What is stressed about the analysis in paragraph 1?
A. It has solved a complicated social issue.
B. It is based on well-documented stories.
C. It challenges a long-held assumption.
D. It needs further supporting evidence.
13. What can be learned about the plaster casts according to Amoretti?
A. They have fallen victim to the wear of time.
B. They were repositioned to enhance dramatic effects.
C. They had mostly been made before the 19th century.
D. They represented advanced workmanship at the time.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the DNA analysis?
A. Its findings. B. Its methods. C. Its samples. D. Its motivations.
15. How does Mittnik find the study?
A. Conventional. B. Inspirational. C. Complicated. D. Prejudiced.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对庞贝古城的“石膏模型”的最新研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Pompeii’s plaster cast human figures aren’t who they were assumed to be, genetic tests have revealed, highlighting the way idealised stories can be projected onto archaeological evidence. The analysis also reveals that the demography of Pompeii was far more complicated and diverse than previously thought. (基因测试显示,庞贝古城的石膏人像并不是人们想象的那样,这突显了理想故事可以投射到考古证据上的方式。分析还显示,庞贝的人口统计比以前认为的要复杂和多样得多。)” 可知,基因测试显示庞贝城的石膏模型人物并不是人们之前认为的那样,这项分析还揭示了庞贝城的人口学情况比以前认为的要复杂和多样得多,所以第一段强调的是这项分析挑战了长期以来的假设。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, it has long been known that many of the plaster casts were arranged into different poses and sometimes placed together to add to the drama of the Pompeii story, says Valeria Amoretti at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii in Naples, Italy. (然而,意大利那不勒斯庞贝考古公园的Valeria Amoretti说,人们早就知道,许多石膏模型被安排成不同的姿势,有时被放在一起,以增加庞贝故事的戏剧性。)”可知,据Amoretti所说,许多石膏模型被摆成不同的姿势,有时还被放在一起,以增加庞贝故事的戏剧性效果,即它们被重新摆放以增强戏剧效果。故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“An adult wearing a golden bracelet with a child on the lap was long believed to be the child’s mother. The DNA analysis shows the adult is actually a male who is biologically unrelated to the child. A nearby figure, formerly interpreted as being the father, was also unrelated to the supposed mother and child. (长期以来,人们一直认为一个戴着金手镯、膝上抱着孩子的成年人就是孩子的母亲。DNA分析显示,这名成年人实际上是一名男性,与这名儿童没有血缘关系。旁边的一个人,以前被解释为父亲,也与假定的母亲和孩子无关。)”可知,主要讲述了通过 DNA 分析发现,长期以来被认为是孩子母亲的戴着金手镯、腿上有个孩子的成年人实际上是一名男性,且与孩子没有血缘关系,附近曾被认为是父亲的人物也与所谓的母亲和孩子没有关系,这都是 DNA 分析的“发现”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Alissa Mittnik at Harvard University says the study highlights the importance of applying science before interpreting archaeology at face value. “Ultimately, it reminds us that the most obvious, dramatic or sensational explanations do not always hold true, encouraging us to stay aware of and question our assumptions, ” she says. (哈佛大学的Alissa Mittnik说,这项研究强调了在表面上解释考古学之前应用科学的重要性。她说:“最终,它提醒我们,最明显、最戏剧性或最耸人听闻的解释并不总是正确的,这鼓励我们保持警惕,并质疑我们的假设。”)”可知,Mittnik认为这项研究强调了在表面解读考古学之前应用科学的重要性,它提醒我们最明显、戏剧性或耸人听闻的解释并不总是正确的,鼓励我们保持警觉并质疑我们的假设,所以她认为这项研究是 “有启发性的”。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了2024年12月4日,联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)将春节列入《人类非物质文化遗产代表名录》以及对于春节的介绍。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为中国文化的标志性组成部分,春节,也被称为中国新年,是中国和世界各地最重要的节日之一。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰festivals,festivals和practice为被动关系,所以为过去分词形式。故填practiced。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:联合国教科文组织的举动被看作是官方对春节的中国起源的认可。根据空前的形容词official(官方的)可知,空中用名词,recognize是动词,认可,其名词形式是recognition,不可数名词。故填recognition。
【38题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:中国人珍视家庭和家庭成员之间牢固的联系,并将其延伸到社区、国家和其他国家。分析句子可知,extend...to…是固定搭配,表示“把…… 延伸到……”,这里表示把对家人的感情延伸到社区、国家及更远的地方。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:那就是为什么每年春节有数以百万计的人回家和他们的亲人团聚。根据空前的be动词is可知,本句是表语从句,根据句意可知,空中用从属连词why“为什么”,引导表语从句,满足句意要求。故填why。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:那就是为什么每年春节有数以百万计的人回家和他们的亲人团聚。根据空后的名词relatives(亲戚)可知,空中用形容词性物主代词作定语修饰名词,they的形容词性物主代词是their,表示“他们的”。故填their。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:春节包括各种不同水平上的非物质文化遗产。根据空后的名词range(范围)可知,这里修饰名词range要用形容词,“comprehension的形容词形式是 “comprehensive”,表示“全面的,综合的”。故填comprehensive。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:它是一个充满民间故事和基于这些传统的节日。根据句意可知,空中缺少连词,用and连接并列成分folk tales(民间故事)和 the traditions(传统)。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:庆祝活动持续15天,以元宵节结束。根据句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,end和逻辑主语Celebrations为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填ending。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:春节承载了中华文明对和平与和谐的追求,促进了对未来的美好祝愿,并体现了社会包容和人与自然的良好关系等人类共同价值观。此处为谓语动词的填入,句子描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语“The Spring Festival”是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词“bear”要用第三人称单数形式“bears”。故填bears。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:春节承载了中华文明对和平与和谐的追求,促进了对未来的美好祝愿,并体现了社会包容和人与自然的良好关系等人类共同价值观。根据空前的common(共同的)可知,空中用名词,value是可数名词,价值观,其复数是values,常用复数表示“价值观”。故填values。

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。
Peter Potter liked soccer since he was a little boy. His dad would hold his hand and guide him to follow the ball. He got better and better and was good enough to play for his first team when he was six. His wish finally came true when he got his first team shirt.
“I can’t wait for game day!” Peter announced. “We’ll dress up as a team and score so many goals!”
Game day was his favorite day of the week. But there was another soccer day that Peter did not expect. “Huh? Why do we have two schedules?!” Peter was confused. “A practice schedule?!”
Peter’s mood suddenly changed. He didn’t want to have practice days. To him, practices were too hard and boring. It didn’t seem exciting or challenging because it wasn’t a real game. The goals didn’t matter as his team couldn’t win or lose. There was no cheering, or pats on the back (表扬)!
“This isn’t fair!” Peter thought. “I only want to go to games.”
But Peter had to attend the practice sessions too. He couldn’t play games unless he went. And so he did. But you know what? He didn’t do his best. With so little effort, Peter’s skills soon got worse.
One day, Peter’s team played an important game. His team was the better team, and they expected to win. Peter couldn’t wait for that winning feeling! At the very beginning, they had a chance to score. A teammate passed the ball to Peter, who was right in front of the goal. But Peter wasn’t quick enough and lost the ball. Soon, Peter got a second chance. He was all alone in front of the goal. He received the ball and carefully kicked it to score. He tried so hard at that moment, but his aim was off target, and he completely missed it. The ball flew high above the net.
By the end of the game, Peter missed five out of seven chances to score! They lost the game. Everyone was disappointed, even Peter.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

At the next practice sessions, Peter was always the first one to arrive.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After the game, their coach Harry needed to talk to Peter. He had already noticed that Peter hadn’t been putting in much effort at practice. “Peter, what happened today?” Coach Harry asked. “And not only today. We need to talk about the practices.” “But I always come to practice. I haven’t skipped even once!” Peter started explaining. “Showing up isn’t enough! You have to try hard. ‘Practice makes perfect!’ remember?” Coach Harry said. Feeling a little guilty for his poor performance, Peter now was encouraged by the coach’s words and decided to train hard.
At the next practice sessions, Peter was always the first one to arrive. Peter trained harder than any of his teammates. He would always arrive earlier and stay longer when everyone left. He even practiced alone during weekends. As time went by, Peter became a better teammate and a better player. Everyone noticed his fantastic skills. Coach Harry was so proud. They won the following big game! After that, Peter kept practicing the same way as his coach had told him and learned that nothing comes so easy.

Miguel Angel Gallo born in Barcelona in 1933, has always had a passion for art. However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time. And about 10 years ago, Gallo’s wife was diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease, and her condition worsened to the point that she had to move into a care home. This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo’s artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old.
Gallo initially studied mechanical engineering in Barcelona and later worked for a company in Zaragoza. In 1966 he pursued management studies at IESE Business School in Barcelona, and by 1968, he had become an associate professor there.
With his academic background, Gallo was determined to study at a respected institution. However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead. He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gallo seven years to complete it. He graduated at the age of 90.
Gallo admires Francisco de Zurbarán for his masterful use of white, and Joaquín Sorolla for his skillful use of light. Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty. I don’t mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.”
Some of Gallo’s works were featured in an exhibition in Graus, a small village in the Pyrenees, where they were displayed for six months. Gallo humbly acknowledged, “After completing my degree, would I call myself an artist? I don’t know, but at least now I have a piece of paper that says I am.”
4. What can be learnt about Gallo from paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. He prioritized his family over his interest. B. He became a professor in his 20s.
C. He had a natural talent for doing business. D. He lived with poor health for long.

Making fabric from waste potato plants could offer a more sustainable alternative to pure cotton, as pressure grows on the fashion industry to reduce its environmental impact.
Potatoes pose a headache for farmers. The tubers (块茎) are harvested and eaten, but the above-ground plant contains solanine, which is poisonous, so it can’t be used for animal feed. Farmers usually remove this matter before potatoes are harvested.
Now, a UK startup company, Fibe, wants to avoid this waste by extracting (提取) fibres from potato stems (茎) to make a sustainable fabric. In April, it introduced the world’s first potato thread (线), a mixture of 75 per cent cotton and 25 per cent potato fibres.
The approach began as a project by a group of design engineering students, including Gal-Shohet, at Imperial College London. Tasked with designing a sustainable business concept, the group investigated using waste plants to create a more sustainable alternative to cotton. The students chose potato plants because they are mass-produced all over the world, are rich in fibres and their leaves have no other practical use. They turned their idea into a business after graduating in 2022.
Fibe primarily uses non-biological process to extract the fibres. “Once raw fibres are extracted, they are cleaned and graded to produce soft balls. The potato fibres are similar in quality to cotton,” says Gal-Shohet. However, because the land is already being used to grow potatoes, potato fibres require 99.7 per cent less water and produce 82 per cent fewer carbon emissions (排放), as well as needing no additional land, according to Fibe’s internal analysis.
Muhammad Tausif at the University of Leeds, UK, who has worked with Fibe, says industry demand for sustainable fibres is growing, but the company will need to prove its potato fibres have the“length, fineness and strength” to compete with cotton. “For a fibre to be successful and to be made into a product, these are the key factors,” he says.
8. What do the underlined words “this matter” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Pure cotton. B. The poisonous tuber.
C. Animal feed. D. The above-ground plant.
9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Add some background information.
C. Provide some advice for the students. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
10. What does Fibe’s internal analysis highlight about using potato fibres?
A. Its standard requirements. B. Its environmental advantages.
C. Its technical barriers. D. Its wide applications.
11. What does Tausif expect of Fibe?
A. It should demonstrate its fibres’competitive qualities.
B. It should secure business partners as soon as possible.
C. It should make a big difference to the fibre industry.
D. It should launch appealing products into the market.

Pompeii’s plaster cast (石膏模型) human figures aren’t who they were assumed to be, genetic tests have revealed, highlighting the way idealised stories can be projected onto archaeological (考古的) evidence. The analysis also reveals that the demography (人口学) of Pompeii was far more complicated and diverse than previously thought.
When Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, many of Pompeii’s residents were covered and died, and as their bodies were destroyed gradually by natural processes, cavities (窟窿) formed that perfectly preserved their positions in their final moments. In the 19th century, archaeologists developed a method of pouring plaster into the cavities to make life-like casts. Since then, more than 100 of these casts have been made, preserving the victims’ shapes along with any remaining bones. However, it has long been known that many of the plaster casts were arranged into different poses and sometimes placed together to add to the drama of the Pompeii story, says Valeria Amoretti at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii in Naples, Italy.
To learn more about who these people were, Amoretti and her teammates examined 14 of the plaster casts and extracted DNA from bones in five of them.
What they found has completely changed the established interpretations of who they were. An adult wearing a golden bracelet (手镯) with a child on the lap was long believed to be the child’s mother. The DNA analysis shows the adult is actually a male who is biologically unrelated to the child. A nearby figure, formerly interpreted as being the father, was also unrelated to the supposed mother and child.
Alissa Mittnik at Harvard University says the study highlights the importance of applying science before interpreting archaeology at face value. “Ultimately, it reminds us that the most obvious, dramatic or sensational explanations do not always hold true, encouraging us to stay aware of and question our assumptions, ” she says.
12. What is stressed about the analysis in paragraph 1?
A. It has solved a complicated social issue.
B. It is based on well-documented stories.
C. It challenges a long-held assumption.
D. It needs further supporting evidence.
13. What can be learned about the plaster casts according to Amoretti?
A. They have fallen victim to the wear of time.
B. They were repositioned to enhance dramatic effects.
C. They had mostly been made before the 19th century.
D. They represented advanced workmanship at the time.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the DNA analysis?
A. Its findings. B. Its methods. C. Its samples. D. Its motivations.
15. How does Mittnik find the study?
A. Conventional. B. Inspirational. C. Complicated. D. Prejudiced.

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。
Peter Potter liked soccer since he was a little boy. His dad would hold his hand and guide him to follow the ball. He got better and better and was good enough to play for his first team when he was six. His wish finally came true when he got his first team shirt.
“I can’t wait for game day!” Peter announced. “We’ll dress up as a team and score so many goals!”
Game day was his favorite day of the week. But there was another soccer day that Peter did not expect. “Huh? Why do we have two schedules?!” Peter was confused. “A practice schedule?!”
Peter’s mood suddenly changed. He didn’t want to have practice days. To him, practices were too hard and boring. It didn’t seem exciting or challenging because it wasn’t a real game. The goals didn’t matter as his team couldn’t win or lose. There was no cheering, or pats on the back (表扬)!
“This isn’t fair!” Peter thought. “I only want to go to games.”
But Peter had to attend the practice sessions too. He couldn’t play games unless he went. And so he did. But you know what? He didn’t do his best. With so little effort, Peter’s skills soon got worse.
One day, Peter’s team played an important game. His team was the better team, and they expected to win. Peter couldn’t wait for that winning feeling! At the very beginning, they had a chance to score. A teammate passed the ball to Peter, who was right in front of the goal. But Peter wasn’t quick enough and lost the ball. Soon, Peter got a second chance. He was all alone in front of the goal. He received the ball and carefully kicked it to score. He tried so hard at that moment, but his aim was off target, and he completely missed it. The ball flew high above the net.
By the end of the game Peter missed five out of seven chances to score! They lost the game. Everyone was disappointed, even Peter.
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。
After the game, their coach Harry needed to talk to Peter.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the next practice sessions, Peter was always the first one to arrive.
