The needs of plus-size consumers have long been the elephant in the room of the fashion industry until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan (口号)that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind. This size-inclusive(尺码包容)trend has become so popular that it is influencing mainstream culture. As a result, fashion brands have finally decided to extend their size ranges. In 2022, the plus-size market grew twice as fast as the standard size market in both North America and the UK. Yet, many consumers say fashion brands broadening their ranges are not truly inclusive. “Inclusive sizing means that all bodies are included in fashion, not just the ones who fit in standard sizes，” says Marie Southard Ospina, a UK-based journalist who covers body-image issues. “However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.” Researchers also criticize that some brands are just taking advantage of the trend. “Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn't feel like they really care about plus-size people，” says Tom Burgess, analyst in fashion industry. “If brands cared about large-bodied consumers, then it wouldn't have taken until now to acknowledge that they exist，” he says. “It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.” 学生用书第109页 The fashion industry must go beyond merely producing clothing in a range of sizes if they hope to succeed with a body-diverse world. The whole industry has to connect on a personal level with consumers. That involves showing shoppers that they are seen, understood and important to brands. “Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options，” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US. 【词海拾贝】 1．mainstream culture 主流文化 2．extend v. 扩大 3．inclusive adj. 包容广阔的；范围广泛的 4．disrespectful adj. 不尊重的；无礼的 5．take advantage of 利用 【阅读理解】 阅读文本，回答以下问题 1．Why do consumers say fashion brands are not truly inclusive? They are just fit for standard sizes. 2．For what do researchers mainly criticize some brands? They promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements but it doesn't feel like they really care about plus-size people. 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 there lived a stone cutter who was dissatisfied with his life. One day, on his way to work, he passed by a beautiful house. It belonged to a rich merchant. From where he stood, he saw fine possessions, honorable guests, and plenty of workers and servants all set to work. He became envious and deeply wished to have everything the wealthy and powerful merchant did. Suddenly, the stone cutter changed into the merchant taking over his mind and body. He was aware of the merchant's innermost feelings, thoughts and memories. He felt the joy of owning all the luxuries in the world. He knew the pleasure of holding such a respectable position in the society. Many honored him. After a few days of enjoying the merchant's life, he saw a king being carried in a luxurious chair accompanied by attendants, soldiers and servants. Everyone, despite of their power and wealth, was forced to bow before this figure that was worshiped as God. After seeing this, he realized he had been mistaken about the merchant's power and status. In a split second, he moved into the body of the king, mighty and fearless. Then he knew what it felt like to be praised and glorified by the entire kingdom, to hold the power to pardon or take a man's life and what it was like to be respected by kings from other lands. One day, on a hot summer noon, he was extremely uneasy. His overweight body made the heat even more intolerable. He looked up at the sun and thought about how it was absolutely unaffected by his presence. He then swiftly became the sun, shining with glory, the source of life and strength of every living creature on the planet. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 He continued to radiate until a massive storm cloud gathered below him blocking his rays. 学生用书第110页 There was yet another force that faded the wind's ego—a huge towering rock. [读后续写四步曲] 第一步　通读全文，理清脉络 1．读要素，弄懂故事大意 文章主要讲述了一个石匠羡慕他人，变成自己羡慕的人，但他贪得无厌，最后又变回自己的故事。 2．读人物，理清人物关系 A stone cutter, A rich merchant, A king and The sun 3．读时态，确定主体时态 一般过去时 4．读结构，了解叙述方式 第1段：石匠路过商人的房子。 第2段：石匠羡慕有钱有势的商人，自己也想拥有这样的生活。 第3段：石匠变成了商人，过上了商人的生活。 第4段：石匠发现商人不如国王。 第5段：石匠成为强大而无畏的国王，掌握生死。 第6段：石匠感受到太阳的力量之后，他就变成了太阳，闪耀着光辉。 续写部分： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写石匠发现云能够遮挡太阳，要成为云，继而发现，云是由风吹动的，再成为风，展示风的能力。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写石匠感受了巨石不可动摇的能力，变成巨石，却最后被石匠所切割改造，于是最终的结果是，石匠还是石匠。 5．读语言，把握语言特色 原文中的语言特色： (1)以时间为线索展开 Once upon a time→After a few days of→After seeing this→One day (2)心理描写 ①He became envious and deeply wished to have everything the wealthy and powerful merchant did. ②... he realized he had been mistaken about the merchant's power and status. ③Then he knew what it felt like to be praised and glorified by the entire kingdom ... 第二步　依据首句，构思框架 1．读懂两段首句 第一段首句译文：他继续放射，直到一大片风暴云聚集在他下面挡住了他的射线。 第二段首句译文：还有另一股力量使风的自负黯然失色——那是一块高耸的巨石。 第一段框架：成为云→描述云的力量→成为风→描述风的力量 第二段框架：成为巨石→巨石的难以撼动→巨石被切割改造→又变成石匠 2．写好两个衔接句 第一段首句后的衔接句：The storm cloud then burst into pouring rain. 第二段首句后的衔接句： The wind would blow against it with a speed and force of the ultimate strength. 3．写好一个结尾句 He looked down at the artist, the figure of a stone cutter! He then became a stone cutter again. 第三步　增加细节，展开续写 基于第一段的框架，我们可以补充以下细节：成为云(变成云之后的感受)→描述云的力量(觉察到比云更 学生用书第111页 大的力量——风)→成为风→描述风的力量(掀掉房顶、把树连根拔起、吹走一切挡在路上的所有东西) 基于第二段的框架，我们可以补充以下细节：遇到巨石(巨石难以撼动)→成为巨石(描述巨石的样子：地球上一种坚固、致密、不朽且强大的物质)→巨石被切割改造→石匠 第四步　检查优化，整洁誊写 He continued to radiate until a massive storm cloud gathered below him blocking his rays. The storm cloud then burst into pouring rain. Seeing this, he became the cloud. He felt the incredible power of its existence as it could flood everything that it wished to. Not too late did he realize that the entire root of his power was yet another force—wind. The strength of the rain was not worth mentioning without the wind. And so he became it, blowing off the roofs of houses, and uprooting trees and everything else that came in its way. There was yet another force that faded the wind's ego—a huge towering rock. The wind would blow against it with a speed and force of the ultimate strength. The rock would stand still and unmoved. He then became it, a solid, dense, immortal and powerful substance on earth. After a while, he heard a familiar sound, which was heard when a rock was stricken by a set of tools. He then felt himself being cut, and reformed. He looked down at the artist, the figure of a stone cutter! He then became a stone cutter again.

A dance drama titled Poetic Dance：The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting(《只此青绿》)was staged on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and became a hit. According to CCTV，this poetic dance program was inspired by the 910-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》).Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18，the painting is amazing in its huge size，rich coloration and the expressive details，reported CCTV.It shows a blue-green Chinese landscape：“mountains and groupings of the infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water.” When the dancers moved elegantly，audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers.“It brings me a pure experience of beauty.It is not only a drama but also an ‘exhibition’．Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life！”Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review.“More than a thousand years later，green mountains and rivers still wow people as they did long age.” Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later.In fact，in recent years，more and more modern shows pay attention to traditional Chinese culture and have received a warm welcome.As for why，it is due to people's great love for traditional culture. “The younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset.They hug Chinese culture and are proud of it，”Yao Wei，director of Henan TV Station's Innovation Center，told China Daily. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。作者以在中国中央电视台的春节联欢晚会上演出而爆红的舞蹈《只此青绿》为例子，说明了中国传统绘画和舞蹈结合在一起产生的巨大的文化艺术魅力。 21．What is the function of Paragraph 1 in the passage? A．To present a common phenomenon. B．To ask readers a question. C．To describe the art world. D．To introduce the topic. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。第一段提到了中国传统绘画和舞蹈的关系，接下来文章围绕这个话题，主要描述了在宋代山水画《千里江山图》的基础上改编的舞蹈《只此青绿》所带来的艺术魅力，因此第一段的作用是引出文章的话题。故选D。 22．What can we learn about the painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains from the passage? A．It was painted in several bright colors. B．It shows natural beauty vividly. C．It was created over a thousand years ago. D．It is of small size but includes great details. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“It shows a blue-green Chinese landscape：‘mountains and groupings of the infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water’．”可推知，《千里江山图》生动形象地展现了大自然的美。故选B。 23．Why are shows about traditional Chinese culture becoming popular according to Yao Wei? A．People are more open to traditional culture. B．People are happy to see new forms of art. C．Chinese culture has been spreading around the world. D．People have gained more access to traditional culture. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The younger generations have grown up...proud of it”可知，姚伟认为中国传统文化能够受欢迎是因为人们对传统文化有着更加开放的心态。故选A。 B (2024·山东省聊城市高二上期中) I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus, to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison. But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston's news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR's news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I'd learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013. But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I've felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by acting the character of Jacques Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears. Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status, and even language. It's the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10 and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了因为父亲是杂耍演员，作者小时候一直在马戏团里生活，后来父亲决定离开，作者一开始很不习惯。马戏团的生活教会了作者很多，他后来因此得到了在电视台工作的机会，但是作者意识到自己真正想要的是表演，所以决定去马戏团为观众表演。 24．How did the author feel in the early years of school? A．Curious.　　 B．Fresh. C．Controlled. D．Impatient. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者小时候大部分时间都在马戏团里生活，自由自在，但是离开马戏团作者上学之后，就感觉好像在监狱里一样，由此推断作者感觉早期在学校的生活是不自在的。故选C。 25．What do we know about the author's job at WBUR? A．He did it for his father. B．He did it against his will. C．He risked his neck doing it. D．He took to it greatly. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“I became WBUR's news reporter...easily in a stressful situation”可知，由于作者小时候在马戏团的灵活性和适应能力，帮助作者能够在压力下自然而轻松地完成WBUR的工作，即作者在WBUR的工作做得很好。故选D。 26．What does the circus probably mean to the author? A．A means of living. B．A chance to go anywhere. C．A part of his identity. D．A way to forget his troubles. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“ And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.”可知，回到马戏团就意味着回家，因此马戏团对作者来说可能是他身份的一部分。故选C。 27．Why does the author write the text? A．To express his love for circus performances. B．To stress the value of performing. C．To share his personal experiences in a circus. D．To discuss the problem of choosing a job. 答案：A 解析：写作目的题。根据最后一段内容可知，文章讲述了作者小时候在马戏团长大，离开后进入传媒行业，但在遭遇疾病困扰后重新回到马戏团的经历。作者强调了马戏团所代表的自由和表演的意义，并认为这是他的家，由此作者之所以写这篇文章目的在于表达他对马戏表演的热爱。故选A。 C (2024·河北省石家庄市高二上期中) One of the winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.” Meldal's experience may come as a surprise to students. They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case. Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal. They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as “polymaths”． The writers looked at past Nobel Prize winners and their students. They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative. Having many interests, the Root-Bernsteins wrote, permits scientists to look for creative ways to solve problems. In fact, one important part of science is not discovering answers, but recognizing problems that need to be solved. The prize winners, the Root-Bernsteins said, transfer “skills, techniques and materials from one field to another.” They said Alexis Carrel won his Nobel Prize in medicine in 1912 by using techniques he learned from the clothing business. He realized that people who used thread to make and fix clothing had a skill that could be used in operations to put new organs into people's bodies. The Michigan State University professors study creativity. They found Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers say that unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up some of their outside interests, Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现，许多诺贝尔奖获得者都是博学多才的人，他们有广泛的兴趣爱好，而这对创造力非常重要。 28．What comes as a surprise to students according to the passage? A．Meldal's winning Nobel Prize. B．Meldal's original working field. C．Meldal's desire to understand the world. D．Meldal's study with Michigan State University. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句和第二段的第一句可知，学生们可能认为自己必须集中精力于一个领域才能获得成功，但Meldal却不是这样，他最初是工程师，后来才转学化学，他的经历让学生们很吃惊。由此可推测出，学生们感到惊讶的是Meldal最初的工作领域。故选B。 29．What kind of people can be sorted as “polymaths”？ A．People who are equipped with various interests. B．People who only concentrated on just one field. C．People who are committed lifelong to their career. D．People who are admired for established achievements. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as ‘polymaths’．”和第四段的第二句可知，可以被归类为“博学的人”的人是有各种各样兴趣爱好的人。故选A。 30．What's the author's attitude towards the Root-Bernsteins' discovery? A．Subjective. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Opposed. 答案：C 解析：观点态度题。根据第五段的第一句和第六段的第一句可知，本文作者只是转述Root-Bernstein夫妇的发现，因此作者对于Root-Bernstein夫妇的发现持客观态度。故选C。 31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．A Creative Scientist B．An Amazing Rise to Fame C．A Born Nobel Prize Winner D．A Secret to Winning Top Prize 答案：D 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第三段内容可知，本文主要讲的是研究发现，许多诺贝尔奖获得者是博学多才的人，这可以说是获得诺贝尔奖的秘诀。故选D。 D (2024·南京一模) There have been numerous attempts to create an all-plastic bike.But most have never passed through the prototype stage (原始阶段).Igus，a Germany-based manufacturer of high-performance plastics，and Dutch start-up MTRL aim to change that with the igus：bike—the world's first urban bike crafted almost entirely from recycled plastic. Igus CEO Frank Blasé first got the idea while vacationing on a Florida beach in 2009.A conversation with some employees from a rental company made him aware of the challenges of maintaining beach bicycles.The continuous exposure to sand，wind and salt water caused the bikes to rust rapidly.Many had to be replaced in only three months. The igus：bike，unveiled at a German trade show，is maintainable and rust-free.It can be left outdoors in all weathers and does not require lubricant oil (润滑油) to reduce friction between parts.Since it does not attract sand，dust or dirt，the bike can be cleaned with a garden hose (水管) in seconds. “As all components are made of plastic，no part of the bike rusts，even the gears —bicycle gears made of plastic were unthinkable for a long time，” Blasé says. The igus：bike will also help combat the world's plastic pollution.The company says a single adult bike gives new life to about 16 kilograms of single-use plastic that would otherwise choke our landfills or waterways. Currently，90 percent of the igus：bike is made using recycled plastic.This includes the bicycle's frame，bearings，pedals and wheel rims.Igus and MTRL believe future versions will be made entirely from recycled plastic. “From ocean plastics to motion plastics—the igus：bike concept has what it takes to become a high-tech ecological product，” says MTRL co-founder Benjamin Alderse Baas. The plastic bikes are expected to come onto the market in early 2023.An adult model，made entirely from recycled plastic，will cost about $1，400.A slightly cheaper version made using new plastic and an electric bike are also in the works.Igus also plans on sharing its technology with other bicycle manufacturers. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上第一款几乎完全由可循环利用的塑料制造的单车。 32．What makes Igus CEO Frank Blasé seek to create the igus：bike? A．His holidaying in Florida last year. B．The conversation between him and some bicyclers. C．The trouble of keeping beach bicycles in good condition. D．The prolonged exposure of bikes on the beach. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。由文章第二段“The continuous exposure to sand，wind and salt water caused the bikes to rust rapidly.Many had to be replaced in only three months.”可知，得知沙滩自行车很难维护，所以Frank Blasé想要改善这一情况，这是他要制作Igus自行车的原因，故选C项。 33．What can we learn about the igus：bike from the text? A．It will certainly sell well. B．It needs to be more portable. C．It can be used everywhere and freely. D．It is rust less and cleans easily. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。由文章第三段第一句可知，这种单车不易生锈且易于清洗，故选D项。 34．What is the text mainly about? A．A bike made from recycled plastics. B．How to make rust-free bikes. C．An excellent bicycle manufacturer. D．How to maintain beach bikes. 答案：A 解析：主旨大意题。文章介绍了这款单车的构想起源、优势、当前现状以及未来发展前景，由此可知，全文主要是介绍这款igus单车，故选A项。 35．What can be inferred about the future plastic bikes? A．They will be cheaper and lighter. B．They will be more high-tech ecological. C．They will be crafted from only recycled plastics. D．They will be used widely all over the world. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。由文章倒数第三段最后一句可知，未来这款单车有望完全由可循环利用的塑料制成，故选C项。 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。 (2024·广东省深圳市高二上期中) Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind.

Outside the couple's fourth-floor apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner, sometimes keeping them awake at night. Peterson, 28, would pass the guy on his way to his job, but they never spoke. What could they possibly have in common? One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading a book, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book's compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned the man's name was Faris. He'd moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “It was the weirdest thing to me，” Peterson recalled later. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn't shaved in probably a year, had overgrown finger nails, and probably hadn't had a shower in close to a year. But his story, the life inside of him, inspired me.”And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn't picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris's portrait. Faris said yes. Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces In the Community(FIC), a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the portraits signatured by both subject and artist for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds(收入) and putting half into what he calls a“love account”for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Of course, Faris was the first to benefit from FIC. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Seeing his portrait, the homeless man was moved to tears. Inspired by Peterson and Faris, many artists joined them. [参考范文] Seeing his portrait, the homeless man was moved to tears. He benefited a lot from it. He said to Peterson, “It was your help that kept me off the streets, and my heart is full of gratitude. I want to make good use of the money to start a business, and I want to do my best to help those who need help in the future，”Peterson replied, “You are welcome. Actively helping people in need of help is my greatest joy.” With these words, the two men hugged each other tightly. Inspired by Peterson and Faris, many artists joined them.The artists say they will call on more people to help the homeless. Over time, more and more artists have joined FIC, and by helping more and more homeless people to expand the impact and attract more artists. As more and more people were helped, the organization became more and more popular and was honored by the government. As time went on, FIC sold more and more portraits and earned more and more income, which was widely recognized by the society. 学生用书第112页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
