Knitwear (针织品) might not be the immediate expectation at the fashion show at London Fashion Week, but 26-year-old Shonagh Murray is redefining its potential. From Birmingham, Shonagh discovered knitting in 2017 during a hospital stay, a creative coping strategy born from struggling with her physical and mental health. “I just loved the repeating and regular nature of knitting; I found it very therapeutic (疗愈的),” she explains. “I’m neurodiverse (神经多样性的) and there is something about the constant counting of numbers.”
Knitting quickly evolved from a personal balm into a booming brand. After gaining recognition online, Shonagh launched Shone, her knitwear label well-known for its bold, colourful, and unique creations. “My pieces are very unique; they’re not normal knitwear,” Shonagh states. “They stand for quite a lot of different things. The pieces are very bold and I like the people who wear them to feel confident and not afraid to express themselves.”
Her latest collection, “Girlhood Nostalgia”, captures this spirit. Inspired by her childhood, it features playful dresses and skirts decorated with bows and soft colors, seeking to reconnect wearers with their inner child and a joyful, curious approach to life. This collection’s distinctive charm caught the eye of the fashion world, leading to Shonagh’s desired invitation to exhibit at London Fashion Week.
Shone is now Shonagh’s full-time endeavour. In contrast to the mass-produced fashion industry, she hand-makes each piece using materials that can break down easily, supporting sustainable practices. Shonagh also encourages others to embrace the creative process, celebrating the joy and uniqueness found in making one’s own clothes over factory-made alternatives. Her journey is a powerful evidence of the transformative power of craft, personal expression, and conscious creation.
4. What initially led Shonagh to start knitting?
A. To enter the fashion industry.
B. To deal with health issues.
C. To gain online recognition.
D. To learn sustainable skills.
5. Which of the following can best describe Shonagh Murray?
A. Creative and strong-minded.
B. Optimistic and communicative.
C. Confident and patient.
D. Independent and ambitious.
6. What can be inferred about Shonagh’s “Girlhood Nostalgia” collection?
A. It is a major commercial success.
B. It has a serious and mature theme.
C. It is designed exclusively for teenagers.
D. It connects playfulness with self-expression.
7. How does Shonagh set her brand apart?
A. By creating therapeutic and soothing clothes.
B. By deliberately rejecting conventional style entirely.
C. By prioritizing mass production for wider popularity.
D. By crafting items manually with eco-friendly materials.
C
A team led by the University of Cambridge have engineered a solar-powered “artificial leaf” that could eventually help this vital industry move away from fossil fuels. Their breakthrough involves a new device that brings together light-absorbing organic polymers and bacterial enzymes (酶) to transform sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into formate, a clean fuel that can power additional chemical reactions.
This “artificial leaf” copies photosynthesis (光合作用), the natural process plants use to turn sunlight into energy and operates entirely on its own power. Unlike previous designs that relied on poisonous or unstable light absorbers, this new model uses non-poisonous materials, runs more efficiently, and remains stable without extra additives. This marks the first instance where these non-poisonous materials have served as the light-catching component in such a bio-hybrid system, preparing for a new generation of eco-friendly artificial leaves.
The chemical industry remains a cornerstone of the global economy, producing a vast range of goods — from medicines to plastics, paints, electronics, and cleaning agents. “If we’re going to build a cyclic, sustainable economy, the chemical industry is a big, complex problem that we must address,” said Professor Erwin Reisner from the University of Cambridge’s Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, who led the research.
Tests showed the artificial leaf produced high currents and achieved near-perfect efficiency in directing electrons into fuel-making reactions. The device successfully ran for over 24 hours: more than twice as long as previous designs. The researchers are hoping to further develop their designs to extend the service life of the device and adapt it so it can produce different types of chemical products.
“We’ve shown it’s possible to create solar-powered devices that are not only efficient and durable but also free from poisonous or unsustainable components,” said Reisner. “This could be a fundamental platform for producing green fuels and chemicals in future — it’s a real opportunity to do some exciting and important chemistry.”
8. What is the main purpose of the artificial leaf described in paragraph 1?
A. To create new materials. B. To produce clean fuel.
C. To cut carbon emissions. D. To absorb more sunlight.
9. What makes the artificial leaf different from earlier designs?
A. It depends on costly and rare additives. B. It combines natural and artificial materials.
C. It produces electricity and chemical fuels. D. It relies on safer and more efficient materials.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The devices are still lack of efficiency. B. The potential is limited to lab applications.
C. The technology might have a bright future. D. The material choice may be a major concern.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Solar Leaf for Green Chemistry B. Materials from the Plants’ Leaf
C. Fossil Fuels in Chemical Industry D. Sustainable Challenges in Economy
D
Humans are so hardwired to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. Multiple psychological analyses argue that human connections are as important as basics like food and shelter.
Though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a tiger, human evolution has made our brains adapt themselves to social signals. Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another? Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini-trends to emerge and die out within weeks.”
People all find that trends elicit a pull, and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them.
No one is free from noticing trends, but one group in particular is more likely to follow trends: Teens and young adults. Older adults tend to feel more secure in their identity, a sense that may protect them from being as sensitive to every passing craze. Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts. Individuals may be more sensitive to social reward — positive input from members of their social circles — during midlife.
12. What does the underlined word “hardwired” most probably mean in the first sentence of the passage?
A. Connected by wires.
B. Easily changed.
C. Naturally programmed.
D. Socially influenced.
13. What does the example of fashion trends in paragraph 2 primarily to illustrate?
A. Mini-trends are replacing traditional fashion cycles.
B. Social media has accelerated the cycle of trend spread.
C. Fashion shows are no longer the main source of trends.
D. Fashion trends have become less important in the digital age.
14. What makes trends attractive?
A. Social media. B. Unusual things.
C. Sensibility to age. D. Human evolution.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To criticize. B. To explain.
C. To advocate. D. To prove.

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。
The airport announcement informed passengers that due to bad weather, the flight would be delayed for two hours before boarding. Mary’s mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined everyone’s mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼) a new song she had just learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song with them.
To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community. She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker—a song about a girl and her dreams:
“Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold,
Where the heart is never old,
Singing songs that never end,
In a world that’s my best friend...”
Without thinking, Mary sang along—her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging. Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her, “You just lifted all our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that.
After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay— at least another 45minutes. The cabin (机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints.
Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle (通道) to Mary’s left, a tiny girl, barely three years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—but nothing worked. The child’s face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin.
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。
Paragraph 1: Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Slowly, the baby’s cries softened.

Knitwear (针织品) might not be the immediate expectation at the fashion show at London Fashion Week, but 26-year-old Shonagh Murray is redefining its potential. From Birmingham, Shonagh discovered knitting in 2017 during a hospital stay, a creative coping strategy born from struggling with her physical and mental health. “I just loved the repeating and regular nature of knitting; I found it very therapeutic (疗愈的),” she explains. “I’m neurodiverse (神经多样性的) and there is something about the constant counting of numbers.”
Knitting quickly evolved from a personal balm into a booming brand. After gaining recognition online, Shonagh launched Shone, her knitwear label well-known for its bold, colourful, and unique creations. “My pieces are very unique; they’re not normal knitwear,” Shonagh states. “They stand for quite a lot of different things. The pieces are very bold and I like the people who wear them to feel confident and not afraid to express themselves.”
Her latest collection, “Girlhood Nostalgia”, captures this spirit. Inspired by her childhood, it features playful dresses and skirts decorated with bows and soft colors, seeking to reconnect wearers with their inner child and a joyful, curious approach to life. This collection’s distinctive charm caught the eye of the fashion world, leading to Shonagh’s desired invitation to exhibit at London Fashion Week.
Shone is now Shonagh’s full-time endeavour. In contrast to the mass-produced fashion industry, she hand-makes each piece using materials that can break down easily, supporting sustainable practices. Shonagh also encourages others to embrace the creative process, celebrating the joy and uniqueness found in making one’s own clothes over factory-made alternatives. Her journey is a powerful evidence of the transformative power of craft, personal expression, and conscious creation.

A team led by the University of Cambridge have engineered a solar-powered “artificial leaf” that could eventually help this vital industry move away from fossil fuels. Their breakthrough involves a new device that brings together light-absorbing organic polymers and bacterial enzymes (酶) to transform sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into formate, a clean fuel that can power additional chemical reactions.
This “artificial leaf” copies photosynthesis (光合作用), the natural process plants use to turn sunlight into energy and operates entirely on its own power. Unlike previous designs that relied on poisonous or unstable light absorbers, this new model uses non-poisonous materials, runs more efficiently, and remains stable without extra additives. This marks the first instance where these non-poisonous materials have served as the light-catching component in such a bio-hybrid system, preparing for a new generation of eco-friendly artificial leaves.
The chemical industry remains a cornerstone of the global economy, producing a vast range of goods — from medicines to plastics, paints, electronics, and cleaning agents. “If we’re going to build a cyclic, sustainable economy, the chemical industry is a big, complex problem that we must address,” said Professor Erwin Reisner from the University of Cambridge’s Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, who led the research.
Tests showed the artificial leaf produced high currents and achieved near-perfect efficiency in directing electrons into fuel-making reactions. The device successfully ran for over 24 hours: more than twice as long as previous designs. The researchers are hoping to further develop their designs to extend the service life of the device and adapt it so it can produce different types of chemical products.
“We’ve shown it’s possible to create solar-powered devices that are not only efficient and durable but also free from poisonous or unsustainable components,” said Reisner. “This could be a fundamental platform for producing green fuels and chemicals in future — it’s a real opportunity to do some exciting and important chemistry.”
8. What is the main purpose of the artificial leaf described in paragraph 1?
A. To create new materials. B. To produce clean fuel.
C. To cut carbon emissions. D. To absorb more sunlight.
9. What makes the artificial leaf different from earlier designs?
A. It depends on costly and rare additives. B. It combines natural and artificial materials.
C. It produces electricity and chemical fuels. D. It relies on safer and more efficient materials.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The devices are still lack of efficiency. B. The potential is limited to lab applications.
C. The technology might have a bright future. D. The material choice may be a major concern.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Solar Leaf for Green Chemistry B. Materials from the Plants’ Leaf
C. Fossil Fuels in Chemical Industry D. Sustainable Challenges in Economy
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A

Humans are so hardwired to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. Multiple psychological analyses argue that human connections are as important as basics like food and shelter.
Though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a tiger, human evolution has made our brains adapt themselves to social signals. Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another? Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini-trends to emerge and die out within weeks.”
People all find that trends elicit a pull, and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them.
No one is free from noticing trends, but one group in particular is more likely to follow trends: Teens and young adults. Older adults tend to feel more secure in their identity, a sense that may protect them from being as sensitive to every passing craze. Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts. Individuals may be more sensitive to social reward — positive input from members of their social circles — during midlife.
12. What does the underlined word “hardwired” most probably mean in the first sentence of the passage?
A. Connected by wires.
B. Easily changed.
C. Naturally programmed.
D. Socially influenced.
13. What does the example of fashion trends in paragraph 2 primarily to illustrate?
A. Mini-trends are replacing traditional fashion cycles.
B. Social media has accelerated the cycle of trend spread.
C. Fashion shows are no longer the main source of trends.
D. Fashion trends have become less important in the digital age.
14. What makes trends attractive?
A. Social media. B. Unusual things.
C. Sensibility to age. D. Human evolution.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To criticize. B. To explain.
C. To advocate. D. To prove.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文解释人类天生从众、追潮流是正常现象,与归属感需求和进化相关,社交媒体加速潮流传播,且年轻人更易追潮流。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Humans are so hardwired to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. (人类hardwired就倾向于从众,以至于常常忽视潜在的风险。盲目跟风并非性格软弱或心理问题的表现。相反,心理学家帕梅拉・B・拉特利奇表示,这种行为完全正常。)”可知,这里指从众是天生正常的现象,所以猜测hardwired指“天生的、本能设定的”。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini-trends to emerge and die out within weeks. (确切地说,这无疑让某些潮流比原本传播得更快、更广。以时尚为例:过去潮流从时装秀走向大众需要数年时间,而如今社交媒体让微型潮流在几周内兴起又消亡。)”可知,该例子意在说明社交媒体加速了潮流传播周期。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“People all find that trends elicit a pull, and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. (人们都能感受到潮流带来的吸引力,心理学家也已找出其中原因。拉特利奇表示,这又要归因于进化。她说:“我们的大脑天生就会关注那些不同寻常的事物。”)”可知,是人类进化让潮流具有吸引力。故选D项。
【15题详解】

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。
The airport announcement informed passengers that due to bad weather, the flight would be delayed for two hours before boarding. Mary’s mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined everyone’s mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼) a new song she had just learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song with them.
To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community. She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker—a song about a girl and her dreams:
“Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold,
Where the heart is never old,
Singing songs that never end,
In a world that’s my best friend...”
Without thinking, Mary sang along—her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging. Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her, “You just lifted all our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that.
After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay— at least another 45minutes. The cabin (机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints.
Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle (通道) to Mary’s left, a tiny girl, barely three years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—but nothing worked. The child’s face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1: Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom. She asked if she could sing for the baby. Mom smiled and nodded in agreement. Encouraged, Mary gently asked the mother if she could sing for the baby. The mother, clearly exhausted after trying everything she could, nodded gratefully. Mary took a deep breath and began to sing. Her voice was soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The song was simple yet engaging. She sang of sunshine and dreams, which was easy to catch.
Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. Her little body relaxed as Mary’s gentle voice filled the air. The song was simple, yet it seemed to weave a calming spell over the cabin. The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song, other passengers, who had been restless, began to quiet down, drawn into the soothing melody. The mother’s tense expression eased, and she gave Mary a grateful smile. As the song reached its end, everyone clapped with cheers, which turned the boring and annoying delay into a musical feast. Mary’s mom leaned over and whispered, “You did it again, lifting all our spirits.”
