What makes down jackets warm? Down cluster content (含绒量) ≥50% a down jacket <50% not a down jacket A down jacket keeps people warm by holding warm air inside.

Touch Press down on the down jacket and then let go. If it quickly goes back to the shape it was in before, it means the jacket is of high quality and will keep you warmer. Smell A down jacket that smells bad is often of low quality. 36. How do down jackets make people warm? A. By increasing body heat. B. By holding warm air inside. C. By controlling outside temperatures. D. By creating down clusters. 37. What down content of a down jacket is enough to keep most people warm? A. 25%. B. 50%. C. 75%. D. 100%. 38.

It is a business that brings joy to young people through a lot of products and services. Ford has been working in this area since she was seven. Back then, she began a project called Arting for You. For this project, she collected art supplies (物资) and gave them to kids for free in a foster care (寄养机构). “My grandma always wanted to give back to others,” Ford told Time for Kids. Two years later, Ford started her business. She got the idea from her own experience. One day, her friend was very sad and she tried to remind her of all the positive things in her life. “I realized that I wanted to be everyone’s positive friend,” writes Ford on her business’s website. The business mixes art, clothes and positive messages. It offers many different kinds of products, including notebooks, bags and office supplies—all with encouraging words on them, such as “peace and love”, “I am one of a kind” and “dance from your heart”. Part of the money Ford makes goes to people in need. She also offers activities to help kids feel good about themselves. The classes focus on things like creative writing and how to start and run your own business. Ford hopes to use these things to “remind young people of their worth”. “My goal is to spread positive energy,” said Ford. 39. When did Lena Ford start the project called Arting for You? A. When she was seven. B. When she was nine. C. When she was twelve. D. When she was fifteen. 40. What helped Ford get the idea for Positively Lena? A. The encouragement from her friends. B.

A. Its classes only focus on art and creativity. B. Most of the money it makes goes to those in need. C. There are encouraging words on its products. D. The services are mainly provided for adults. 42. What is Ford’s goal of running her business? A. To help young people live a positive life. B. To develop kids’ ability of creative writing. C. To set an example of how to run a business. D. To remind people of their own worth. C During the break times between classes, Xiao Jingsheng from Beijing Shangdi Experimental School often rushed to the toilet then back to class with no time for anything else. But now that has changed. “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old. Starting this term, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing have a longer break between two classes. It has been changed from 10 minutes to 15 minutes so that students can spend more time outdoors for their physical and mental (心理的) well-being. To help children better enjoy break-time activities, some schools have mixed break time with labor (劳动) education by opening planting areas and animal feeding areas. “We have welcomed new friends to our school—some ducks and rabbits!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing 101 Middle School Kuangda Campus. “During the breaks, some play with these cute animals and look after them. We get closer to nature, which is very meaningful and relaxing.” As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe is also important. Physical education (PE) teachers from the School Affiliated to Chaoyang Education Research Center keep an eye on students playing on the ground. “Sometimes the ground can be wet in the morning, so we tell the students to do more warm-up body exercises to avoid running and slipping (滑倒),” said one PE teacher. 43. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The school. B. The term. C. The break. D. The animal. 44. How does Beijing 101 Middle School Kuangda Campus help students get close to nature? A. By taking the students to visit the zoo. B. By introducing animals into the school. C. By encouraging students to raise pets. D. By mixing planting areas with animal areas. 45. What is the best title for the text? A. Longer Time for Breaks B. Wonderful Outdoor Activities C. Labor Education Matters D. Keep Safe in the Schoolyard D Instead of traveling long hours to somewhere far away, more Chinese travelers choose shorter trips close to home now! This is because they want to experience local life, not rush through sightseeing. Experts see this as a trend (趋势) for slower, deeper travel experiences. Lin Keya, from Urumqi, Xinjiang, spent a few days in a village nearby for the National Day holiday this year. There, she woke up to the sounds of roosters (公鸡) and slept peacefully in the moonlight. “Being in nature saved my tired soul (灵魂),” Lin told Xinhua. The village was just a two-hour drive from her home. Another traveler, Ms Peng, traveled with her family from Guiyang to Leshan. They are two cities in Southwest China. She said busy sightseeing tours only touch the surface—what truly draws people now is deep trips. “Spending less time on the road gave us more time to enjoy the place,” said Peng. This trend is growing because China is developing its high-speed rail network. It now reaches over 46,000 kilometers and connects over 96 percent of cities with more than 500,000 people, reported China Daily. High-speed trains give many travelers, especially elderly ones, easy and relaxing trips. 46. Why do more Chinese travelers choose shorter trips now? A. To save money and time. B. To experience local life. C. To rush through sightseeing. D. To avoid traffic jams. 47. What did Lin Keya enjoy during her village trip? A. Special holiday activities. B. Waking up late every day. C. Getting close to nature. D. Tasting the local chicken. 48. What does Ms Peng think truly draw people? A. Traveling with family. B. Busy sightseeing tours. C. Spending less money on roads. D. Deep travel experiences. 49. What do the numbers in the last paragraph show? A. The convenience of China’s high-speed rail network. B. Travelers’ increasing interest in slower, deeper travel. C. The large population as well as the large area of China. D. Elderly people’s great love for China’s high-speed trains. E Look around during rush hour and you might see many young people, especially girls, with their phones hanging on colorful straps (带子) across their bodies. Lately, phone straps have become a trend in young people’s daily look videos on TikTok. Phone straps provide a feeling of safety by keeping phones within easy reach at all times. “The ability to keep a phone close to the body and have both hands free can help give users greater peace of mind, especially in crowded public places,” a spokesperson for Casetify, a phone strap seller, said. However, reporter Ellie Muir recently argued in an article that the trend is “just a way to stop women from noticing the lack of (缺乏) pockets on their clothes”. In Muir’s view, women’s clothes have seldom been designed for practicality (实用性). They often have no pockets or the pockets are too small to hold a phone. Like handbags, Muir believes that the phone strap is doing well as the consequence of the lack of pockets on women’s clothes. While it may help go hands-free and add a feeling of protection, there’s a far more cost-effective solution: clothes with deep, practical pockets. Sharing Muir’s opinion, design expert Hannah Carlson believes that women’s clothes are designed for beauty while men’s clothes are made to be practical. This shows “old ideas about women’s place and about the smaller social part they are expected to play,” Carlson told The New York Times. 50. How do phone straps help people according to the spokesperson for Casetify? A. They free the hands of the users. B. They show the users’ sense of fashion. C. They make phones less likely to break. D. They help users notice the lack of pockets. 51. What does the underlined word “consequence” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Example. B. Opinion. C. Number. D. Result. 52. What are women’s clothes designed for according to Hannah Carlson? A. Safety. B. Beauty. C. Practicality. D. Comfort. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F One day, Andy was taking a walk and happened to pass by a beautiful farm. He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried. Andy wondered what the farmer was worried about, so he spoke to the farmer. “Why do you look so worried? Have you planted wheat (小麦)?” Andy asked. The farmer slowly shook his head. His face was marked with worry as he spoke, “I’ve noticed that the weather isn’t great and I’m worried that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet. There’s a chance it won’t sprout (发芽) at all, or even worse, it could go bad in the soil.” Andy nodded with understanding and then asked, “Then, have you planted cotton?” The farmer thought for a time, and he said once again, “No. I’m worried about the insects this season. They might come and harm the newly planted cotton. I simply can’t take that risk.” Andy was surprised and asked again, “So, what have you planted then?” The farmer let out a heavy sigh and replied, “I haven’t planted anything. I want to make sure that there’s no chance of rain ruining (毁坏) my crops and no insects to hurt them.” Hearing that, Andy said to the farmer, “__________” 53.
