It uses simple tools like scissors and paper to create beautiful patterns. But in modern times, fewer young people are interested in it. Zhang Min, a 16-year-old student from Nanjing, wants to change this. She learned paper cutting from her grandma when she was 8. She thinks paper cutting is a treasure of Chinese culture and should be passed down. To promote paper cutting, Zhang Min started an online club. She posts videos of her paper cutting process on social media. In the videos, she explains the meaning of each pattern. For example, the fish pattern stands for good luck, and the peony pattern represents wealth. She also holds offline workshops in her school and community. Many students and neighbors come to learn from her. “Paper cutting is not old-fashioned. It can be combined with modern life,” Zhang Min said. She has designed paper cutting patterns for phone cases and bags. These creative works have attracted many young people. Now, more and more people are interested in this traditional art.

I’m sending this email from a café in Paris! I’m here with my cousin for the Fashion Week. It is so exciting to see clothes and styles from all over the world. Famous designers and models come here to show their new work. Designers say fashion is a kind of art and a way to express different cultures. You can see traditional patterns from Africa, modern street style from Tokyo, and beautiful dresses made of silk from China all in one show. The shows are amazing, but the most interesting part is seeing the “street style”. People from different countries wear their own unique clothes outside the show. You can see so many creative ideas just by walking down the street! Today we saw a girl wearing a dress made from recycled plastic bottles. It was so cool! Some of the clothes on the show are very expensive, of course. But many designers are now thinking about making sustainable fashion. This means they are using eco-friendly materials and trying to reduce waste. Yesterday we went to a talk. A famous designer said, “Good fashion should be beautiful for people and kind to the earth.” The weather here is nice, and the city is full of energy. There are lots of fashion lovers everywhere, and the cafés near the shows are pretty crowded. Someone told us this is the most popular fashion event in the world. That is all for now. My battery is running low. Yours, Jenny 1．Jenny wrote Lisa the email to ________ A．complain about the crowded cafés B．tell her about the Fashion Week in Paris C．introduce a famous designer D．ask her to buy some clothes 2．The underlined word “It” in the first paragraph refers to “________”. A．the café B．Paris C．Fashion Week D．her cousin 3．According to the email, why are some designers making sustainable fashion? A．Because they want to be kind to the earth. B．Because the materials are cheaper. C．Because it is a new trend in Tokyo. D．Because people like recycled dresses. 4．What does Jenny think is the most interesting part? A．The fashion shows. B．The traditional patterns. C．The “street style”. D．The talks by designers. 5．Many fashion lovers come to Paris for the event, so the city is ________. A．cold and quiet B．snowy and empty C．rainy and boring D．warm and crowded The global fashion industry is changing at a fast pace with the development of society and the increasing awareness of environmental protection. Among all the new trends, a concept called “sustainable fashion” is becoming more and more popular among brands and consumers. Sustainable fashion, also known as eco-fashion, means making and wearing clothes in a way that is friendly to the environment and respectful to the people involved in the production process. Many well-known fashion brands around the world have started to change their production methods and use more eco-friendly materials. For example, they choose organic cotton that is grown without harmful chemicals, which is not only good for the soil and water but also safer for people’s skin. Some brands even recycle plastic bottles from daily life, process them into soft cloth, and then make them into T-shirts or jackets. Besides, they also try their best to reduce waste by reusing old clothes. For instance, some brands set up collection boxes in shopping malls to collect old jeans, and then process these old jeans into new bags, wallets or even new pieces of clothing. Why is sustainable fashion so important for our world? First of all, making traditional clothes usually uses a huge amount of water and energy. It is reported that producing a single cotton T-shirt needs hundreds of litres of water. Second, a large number of old clothes are often thrown away and end up in landfills every year. These clothes take a long time to decompose and will pollute the soil and groundwater. By choosing sustainable fashion, we can effectively reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, thus helping protect our precious planet. As students, we can also take small but meaningful actions to join in the sustainable fashion movement. We can try to buy fewer new clothes and take good care of our old clothes to make them last longer. We can also sort out our old clothes that are still in good condition and give them to others who need them, such as children in poor areas or people around us. Remember, fashion is not just about looking fashionable and beautiful, it’s also about being responsible for our environment and our world. 1．What is the correct definition of sustainable fashion? A．Making clothes as cheap as possible. B．Making and wearing clothes friendly to the environment and people. C．Wearing the most popular clothes in the fashion industry. D．Using only new materials to make clothes. 2．Which of the following materials is considered eco-friendly according to the passage? A．Cotton grown with harmful chemicals.

A．To throw them away in landfills. B．To sell them at a high price. C．To reuse them to make new things. D．To show them in fashion shows. 4．According to the passage, which of the following is a reason why sustainable fashion is important? A．Traditional clothes-making uses little water. B．Old clothes can’t pollute the earth. C．It helps protect our planet. D．It makes fashion brands earn less money. 5．What can students do to take part in sustainable fashion according to the passage? A．Buy as many new clothes as possible. B．Throw old clothes away after wearing once. C．Give old clothes to people in need. D．Refuse to wear any fashionable clothes. Have you ever thought about what’s more important, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You might have noticed many people choosing style over comfort and some even go to extremes to follow fashion. But we should remember, being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and it can increase risks of falls. Some even wear tight clothes that influence blood circulation, making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health and to spend so much time and money?   So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, your worth is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By asking a question. D．By listing numbers. 2．Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage? A．Because the diets are healthy. B．Because they just want to look good. C．Because they want to save time. D．Because they want to save money. 3．What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in Paragraphs 2—4? A．To ask for help from readers. B．To tell us how to spend time and money. C．To describe the latest fashion. D．To lead readers to think about the topic. 4．What does the underlined word “well-being” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Growth. B．Health. C．Warmth. D．Wealth. 5．Which of the following is the right structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②/③④/⑤ C．①②③/④⑤ D．①/②③/④⑤ In recent years, it has become popular for women to wear a traditional qipao dress. Especially during the National College Entrance Examination, better known as the “gaokao”, many mothers wear qipaos to wish their children good luck in the exam. The reason is that “qipao” represents the Chinese phrase “qi kai de sheng”, meaning victory. The qipao has a high collar (领子), with pankou (盘扣), traditional Chinese knotted buttons, on the front. Some people believe the qipao originated from gowns (长袍) worn by women in the Qing Dynasty. Influenced by Western culture, it changed during the early 20th century, becoming more fitted. After years of development, the qipao is now mainly divided into Beijing styles, Shanghai styles and Hong Kong styles. The Beijing-style qipao is more traditional than Shanghai-style and Hong Kong-style qipaos. The colors of Beijing-style qipaos are much brighter. High-quality Beijing-style qipaos are usually made by hand, so the price is much higher. Compared with Beijing-style qipaos, Shanghai-style ones are more forward-looking. More western elements (元素) are used in the designs and colors. Shanghai-style qipaos became the most popular qipao style around the 1930s because of the fashionable design and slim shape. Now, Shanghai-style qipaos are still the first choice for most women, especially among younger ones. Hong Kong-style qipaos have been influenced greatly by European fashions. They have shorter sleeves (袖子) than the other two. The decorations are simpler, too. The qipao is a very classic product to represent the beauty of traditional Chinese clothing. It shows not only the history of Manchu people (and later the Han people), but also the footprints of other cultures on the land. 1．How does the author start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By describing a scene. D．By asking a question. 2．Which of the following is Not mentioned in Paragraph 2? A．Who buys the qipao. B．What the qipao looks like.

C．Different styles have their own buying groups. D．There are many differences in color and design. 4．Which words can best describe Shanghai-style qipao? ①traditional    ②modern    ③popular    ④simple A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④ 5．Which of the following statements is true about the qipao? A．It has become a symbol of good luck for students taking the gaokao. B．Its development shows a mix of tradition and influence from different cultures. C．The Shanghai style is more popular than the Beijing style because it costs less. D．It has remained unchanged since the Qing Dynasty. 进阶拓展训练5篇 In early March 2026, a free AI tool called OpenClaw became popular in China. People call it “the Lobster” (龙虾) because its icon is a red lobster. It started a fashion across the country called “raising lobsters”—that means setting up and using this AI tool. A large number of technology fans waited in line for free setup in Shenzhen and Shanghai, and many people also paid for quick online help with setting it up. Unlike other common chat tools like ChatGPT, OpenClaw can do different kinds of practical tasks. It can work on many computer systems and goes well with everyday office programs. It can organize information, edit documents (编辑文件), and solve computer problems by itself, serving as a helpful tool. This change from “just chatting” to “working” made people want more suitable machines. Apple’s Mac mini has been sold out all over the world. Big companies like Tencent and Baidu have added one-click setting to make it easier to use, and local governments have made helpful rules to support similar research and develop new ideas. However, fast growth also brings risks. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工信部) warned that wrong setup might lead to cyberattacks and data leaks. Because of this risk, some big international companies even stopped using OpenClaw. Also, people who use it a lot have to keep paying for necessary language services. As international news said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work better. However, to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must put new technology, online safety, and cost control together. 1．How does the writer describe OpenClaw’s popularity in Paragraph 1? A．By asking questions B．By telling a story C．By giving examples D．By listing reasons 2．What makes OpenClaw different from common chat tools? A．It is able to complete practical tasks by itself. B．It supports talking with people all over the world. C．It provides free office programs for users. D．It works faster than other AI tools. 3．What can we know from the second paragraph? A．OpenClaw will be in use in most companies soon. B．Apple’s Mac mini is the only machine people can buy. C．Local governments do nothing for the development of OpenClaw. D．OpenClaw helps increase the sales of suitable machines. 4．What does the phrase “cyberattacks and data leaks” most probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．helping people work better by sharing useful information B．harmful online actions and losing private information C．collecting and keeping information in a safe way D．sending information to others quickly through the Internet 5．Which opinion would the writer probably agree with? A．OpenClaw will do all the office work soon. B．OpenClaw is a useful AI tool but needs proper use and management. C．It’s right for big international companies to stop using OpenClaw. D．OpenClaw’s success shows that ChatGPT is no longer useful. Guochao: Where Tradition Meets Trend “Guochao” (国潮), or “China-Chic,” is no longer a niche concept but a powerful cultural movement.

The day I heard that the Bright Bookstore was closing, I was upset. The bookstore had been in the neighbourhood for 50 years, and it was a great place where people could know each other through their love of books. When I met Old Tim, the store’s owner, he said it was difficult to run a traditional bookstore in the digital (数字化) age. Most young people preferred reading e-books and more people bought books online. As Tim spoke, childhood memories came back to me. A group of us kids used to visit the store, spending hours reading there or just talking with Tim. Tim encouraged us to share our ideas by writing them on a large board. A few months later, I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business. It was still old, but inside it was like a different world. In an area, a book reading was going on. Nearby, some readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board. Some were reading on computers. It even had a coffee shop selling nice food. Tim told me there were more community events in the coffee shop such as book readings, concerts and movie nights. Clearly, the Bright Bookstore had found new, creative ways to bring itself into a new life. It had changed into a vibrant space. “Well, as you can see, technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so glad to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here,” Tim said with a smile. No matter how times change, there are always people who love reading. With the development of technology, traditional bookstores must also change in creative ways. 1．Why is it difficult to run a traditional bookstore? A．Because fewer young people like reading. B．Because more bookstores compete. C．Because online bookstores and e-books have developed. D．Because the books are old. 2．What could book lovers do in the new Bright Bookstore? ①People can have coffee while reading. ②People can read books on computers. ③People can share ideas on a digital screen. ④People can write thoughts on a large board. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 3．What does the underlined word“vibrant”mean in Paragraph 5? A．full of life and energy B．old-fashioned and out-of-date C．quiet and crowded D．completely digital 4．What was Tim’s attitude(态度) towards the bookstore at last? A．He couldn’t stand it. B．He didn’t care about it. C．He worried about it. D．He warmly welcomed it. 5．What does the writer want to show us by writing this passage? A．Share love, spread kindness. B．Read to grow, grow by reading. C．Pass down tradition, light up the future. D．Technology drives change, creativity leads the way. The costs of fast fashion We live in a “throw-away” culture — from clothing to coffee cups. Fast fashion encourages us to treat clothes as disposable (一次性的). Clothes stores change their product series every few weeks, producing a repeated production cycle that causes serious harm to nature. But nothing we produce is ever truly gone. It either returns to nature or pollutes. The fast fashion industry, driven by low costs, shows how the planet pays the price. _______________ Each year, more than 1.2 billion new smartphones are produced worldwide. This process uses plenty of energy and natural resources (资源), while also bringing huge numbers of electronic waste, as people often replace perfectly workable phones every few years. To address this challenge, researchers have come up with a new method—changing old phones into tiny data centers to process and store data for real-world needs. Seine hopes to come back! For centuries, the Seine was Paris’s source (来源) of life and daily refreshment (焕发精神). Long before modern pools, Parisians washed clothes, drew drinking water, and cooled off in the river. But by the early 20th century, Paris’s rapid development brought serious pollution. Waste poured in from riverside factories, turning the once-clear Seine into an unsafe waterway. Over the years, the city has made efforts to restore (恢复) the river’s health. Seine: 塞纳河，是法国北部的重要河流。 1．In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news? A．BUSINESS. B．ENVIRONMENT. C．TECHNOLOGY. D．NATURE. 2．What might be an example of “the price” in the first news? A．Expensive clothes. B．Slower fashion. C．Mounting wastes. D．Closed stores. 3．The best heading for the second news would be ________. A．New life for old phones B．Smartphones are data centers C．Don’t change phone often D．The value of used products 4．What can we know about the Seine from the third news? A．There aren’t factories along it. B．Paris failed to restore its health. C．It has lost its cultural meanings. D．People might not swim in it now. 5．What do the three pieces of news focus on? A．Developing a creative mind. B．Fighting for a greener world. C．Dealing with everyday pollution. D．Protecting traditional cultures. Fast fashion has changed the way we dress. Clothes are cheaper and easier to buy than ever before. But there is a hidden price: the environment. Every year, about 92 million tons of clothing are thrown away. That is like a garbage truck full of clothes being thrown away every second. Imagine all those shirts, pants, and dresses ending up in landfills（垃圾填埋场）! To solve this problem, a group of Austrian researchers led by Thomas Harter has a smart idea: turn old clothes into stronger packaging paper. Instead of letting clothes rot（腐烂）in landfills, they give them a second life. The process starts with cutting the clothes into tiny pieces. These pieces are put in a water-based solution（溶液）, and then they go through a special machine. This step separates the cotton fibers（纤维）. After that, the fibers are mixed with recycled paper pulp（纸浆）. Here’s the cool part: textile（纺织品）fibers are much longer than paper fibers. Because of this, they make the final paper stronger. The new paper looks a bit brown and has small spots（点）of color from the old clothes. But it works well for packaging and can be recycled just like normal paper. The project is still new, but the team hopes to improve it by using some safe chemicals. This would make the process faster, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly. When the new method is ready, it could help reduce textile waste around the world. One more good thing? The new paper is stronger, so it can be used longer. This means less paper will be thrown away when making packaging. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic of the text? A．By listing the steps to recycle old clothes. B．By telling a story about Austrian researchers. C．By asking a question about the environment. D．By showing the environmental problem caused by fast fashion. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The way to cut the clothes into tiny pieces. B．The environmental advantages the project can bring. C．The process of turning old clothes into packaging paper. D．The differences between textile fibers and paper fibers. 3．What makes the new paper stronger? A．Paper fibers. B．Small spots. C．Long textile fibers. D．Safe chemicals. 4．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The color. B．The new paper. C．The project. D．The recycled paper pulp. 5．What would be the best title for the text? A．Reducing Fast Fashion Waste B．Giving Old Clothes a Second Life C．How to Protect the Environment D．How to Make Stronger Packaging Paper 能力综合实践5篇 Do you know where the colors of your clothes come from? The answer is dye (染料). The clothes we wear these days are mainly dyed by machine. But in the past, people did this by hand. Tie-dye (扎染) is an old way of dyeing in China. It is a kind of art with a history of more than 1,000 years. The dyes often come from plants. People use the natural plants to make the colors. They put the clothes in the colors and take them out after some time. Then they put the clothes in the sun. After that, the clothes become beautiful. Nowadays tie-dye is very popular even among many young people. They like to wear tie-dye clothes. And many foreign friends like to buy tie-dye clothes as souvenirs. In 2006, the tie-dye skills were added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Anning in Yunnan is well-known for tie-dye. Yang Chen, 52, is the inheritor (继承人) of tie-dye. He learned the skills from his mother in the 1980s. And he has passed it down to his daughter. He thought people should try their best to make tie-dye skills better. Yang Chen has learned all the old skills of tie-dye. At the same time, he also tries to make some creative designs. Yang likes telling people about the history of tie-dye in Chinese culture. And he thinks that the old skills are very important. “The old skills are the roots of our culture,” he says. So now he teaches tie-dye skills in schools and other places. He wants more young people to learn about the old skills, and he also hopes that one day tie-dye will be part of fashion everywhere. He thinks it’s important to keep this traditional Chinese art alive. Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing. But Yang is confident. “Machines can’t do what we do,” he says. “They can’t replace our creative hands.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question. 2．What are the dyes for tie-dye made from? A．Silk. B．Animals. C．Plants. D．Sunshine. 3．Who is Yang Chen? A．A famous fashion designer. B．An inventor of tie-dye skills. C．The inheritor of tie-dye skills. D．An expert in machinery dyeing. 4．Why does Yang Chen teach tie-dye skills in schools and other places? A．To make money from teaching. B．To keep the traditional art alive. C．To compete with machinery dyeing. D．To show off his creative designs. 5．What is the main idea of the text? A．The development plan of tie-dye in the future. B．The history and popularity of tie-dye in China. C．The introduction of traditional dyeing methods. D．The importance of learning traditional art forms. Once, fashion was all about shoes that were well-designed and nice-looking, with cool young people having many high heels. But lately, things have changed. Shoes that were once thought “ugly”, like Crocs and Birkenstocks, are now popular for everyday wear among the youth. So, why do people love these “ugly” shoes? One of the reasons is how comfortable they are. Birkenstocks, for example, are special because they have flexible (柔韧的) footbeds. After people wear the shoes for a while, the footbeds slowly change to fit their feet. The choice is also about self-expression. Take Crocs for example: Their thick bottoms and holes might seem strange, but when you add colorful small things to them, they become a fun and special way to stand out. Carolyn Mair, a professor, said, “Our brains are often attracted to the unusual over the simple. That’s why people are easily attracted to something new and strange.” So, in addition to the comfort value of these shoes, perhaps it is the wish for attention that influences wearers. Young people’s love for “ugly” shoes is not about saying no to beauty, but it’s about going against old fashion rules. By mixing comfort, creativity and even humor (幽默), they’re changing what “cool” means. 1．What do the underlined words “high heels” mean?​ A．Comfortable sports shoes. B．Colorful summer skirts. C．Beautiful long dresses. D．Shoes with high parts at the back. 2．Why are Birkenstocks popular? A．They are cheap and people can always buy new ones. B．They are decorated with colorful designs. C．Their footbeds can change to fit people’s feet. D．They have thick bottoms and many small holes. 3．According to Carolyn Mair, what might encourage people to wear “ugly” shoes? A．Hoping to look perfect. B．Wanting to get attention. C．Disliking traditional shoe design. D．Considering them as more fashionable. 4．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward young people’s love for “ugly” shoes? A．He thinks it is a good change. B．He thinks it is a bad choice. C．He feels worried about it. D．He has no idea about it. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．“Ugly” Shoes: A New Fashion for Youth B．Birkenstocks: The Most Comfortable Shoes C．Fashion Rules That Can Never Be Broken D．How to Make Crocs More Beautiful In ancient China, there was a story about silk. It’s said that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu discovered how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. Silk was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. For hundreds of years, China kept the skill of silk-making a secret under the kings’ orders. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian traveled to Central Asia with silk. This journey started the Silk Road, a trade route connecting China with Europe. The road was busy with traders who crossed deserts and mountains. They sold silk and tea from China, bringing back Western treasures like spices, gold and silver. At first, people traded goods. Later, they shared ideas, cultures and technologies. For example, Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new math and science ideas came to China Most importantly, the Silk Road helped cultural exchange. People shared art, music and even language along this ancient road. The Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) is a great example, the art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles and became distinctive. They can not be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road shows people far away can become friends through trade and shared knowledge. Today, it’s regarded as a great example of cooperation (合作) and exchange. It teaches us to understand and respect different cultures, and work together to create amazing things. 1．Why is Leizu’s story mentioned at the beginning? A．To lead into the topic. B．To show writer’s opinion. C．To ask for readers’ advice. D．To explain a difficult lesson. 2．What were spread from the West to China according to paragraph 2? ①Silk and tea         ②Spices, gold and silver. ③Paper-making technology.         ④New ideas of science and math. A．①③ B．②④ C．①④ D．②③ 3．What does the underlined word “distinctive” mean in paragraph 3? A．Special. B．Public. C．Popular. D．Strong. 4．Where is this passage most likely to be found? A．In a travel guide to Europe. B．In a science textbook C．In a history magazine. D．In a fashion magazine. 5．What does the story of the Silk Road mainly tell us? A．The change of world trade. B．The introduction of silk cloth. C．The influence of technology in history. D．The importance of cross-cultural communication. Do you ever wonder what happens to your old clothes after you throw them away? Most people think they go to a landfill (垃圾填埋场). But the truth is surprising. Some of them travel thousands of miles to countries far away. Every year, people in rich countries buy more clothes than they need. Fashion changes quickly, and cheap clothes make it easy to buy new ones. But what happens to the old ones? Some are given to charity shops. Some are thrown in the bin. But a large amount is packed into huge bales (大包) and sent to countries in Africa and Asia. Take Ghana, a country in West Africa, as an example. Every week, about 15 million used clothes arrive at its capital, Accra. These clothes are sold in huge markets like Kantamanto. People call them “dead white man’s clothes” because they come from Western countries. At first, this might sound like a good thing. People in Ghana can buy cheap clothes. But there is a dark side. About 40% of these clothes are of such poor quality that no one wants to buy them. They end up in open dumps, rivers, or are burned. This causes serious pollution. The chemicals in the clothes harm the soil and water. Burning them poisons the air. Some people are trying to solve this problem. Organizations are teaching people how to recycle old clothes into new products. For example, worn-out jeans can become bags. Old T-shirts can be turned into rugs. Designers are also creating new fashion from waste materials. The next time you want to throw away an old T-shirt, think about its journey. Could it be turned into something new? Could someone else use it? Every small choice we make can help reduce waste and protect our planet. 1．What happens to most old clothes from rich countries? A．They are all recycled into new products. B．They are sent to landfills in the same country. C．They are shipped to other countries for sale. D．They are all given to charity shops. 2．Why do people in Ghana call used clothes “dead white man’s clothes”? A．Because the clothes are of poor quality. B．Because they come from Western countries. C．Because the clothes are for dead people. D．Because they are sold in Kantamanto market. 3．What problem do the unwanted clothes cause in Ghana? A．They take up too much space in shops.

It uses simple tools like scissors and paper to create beautiful patterns. But in modern times, fewer young people are interested in it. Zhang Min, a 16-year-old student from Nanjing, wants to change this. She learned paper cutting from her grandma when she was 8. She thinks paper cutting is a treasure of Chinese culture and should be passed down. To promote paper cutting, Zhang Min started an online club. She posts videos of her paper cutting process on social media. In the videos, she explains the meaning of each pattern. For example, the fish pattern stands for good luck, and the peony pattern represents wealth. She also holds offline workshops in her school and community. Many students and neighbors come to learn from her. “Paper cutting is not old-fashioned. It can be combined with modern life,” Zhang Min said. She has designed paper cutting patterns for phone cases and bags. These creative works have attracted many young people. Now, more and more people are interested in this traditional art. Zhang Min hopes that one day, paper cutting will be known by people all over the world. 1．How long is the history of paper cutting? A．Over 1,000 years. B．Over 1,500 years. C．About 800 years.

I’m sending this email from a café in Paris! I’m here with my cousin for the Fashion Week. It is so exciting to see clothes and styles from all over the world. Famous designers and models come here to show their new work. Designers say fashion is a kind of art and a way to express different cultures. You can see traditional patterns from Africa, modern street style from Tokyo, and beautiful dresses made of silk from China all in one show. The shows are amazing, but the most interesting part is seeing the “street style”. People from different countries wear their own unique clothes outside the show. You can see so many creative ideas just by walking down the street! Today we saw a girl wearing a dress made from recycled plastic bottles. It was so cool! Some of the clothes on the show are very expensive, of course. But many designers are now thinking about making sustainable fashion. This means they are using eco-friendly materials and trying to reduce waste. Yesterday we went to a talk. A famous designer said, “Good fashion should be beautiful for people and kind to the earth.” The weather here is nice, and the city is full of energy. There are lots of fashion lovers everywhere, and the cafés near the shows are pretty crowded. Someone told us this is the most popular fashion event in the world. That is all for now. My battery is running low.

I’m here with my cousin for the Fashion Week. It is so exciting to see clothes and styles from all over the world. Famous designers and models come here to show their new work.”并结合下文对时装周的描述可知，珍妮给丽莎写电子邮件是为了告诉她巴黎时装周的事。 2．根据第一段“I’m here with my cousin for the Fashion Week. It is so exciting to see clothes and styles from all over the world.”可知，珍妮和表姐一起来参加时装周，在那里看到来自世界各地的衣服和款式，“It”指代前文提到的“Fashion Week”。 3．根据第四段“Good fashion should be beautiful for people and kind to the earth.”可知，一些设计师要打造可持续时尚是因为他们想保护地球。 4．根据第三段“The shows are amazing, but the most interesting part is seeing the ‘street style’.”可知，珍妮认为最有趣的部分是看到“街头风格”。 5．根据第五段“The weather here is nice, and the city is full of energy. There are lots of fashion lovers everywhere, and the cafés near the shows are pretty crowded.”可知，巴黎天气很好，城市充满活力，但也是拥挤的。 The global fashion industry is changing at a fast pace with the development of society and the increasing awareness of environmental protection. Among all the new trends, a concept called “sustainable fashion” is becoming more and more popular among brands and consumers. Sustainable fashion, also known as eco-fashion, means making and wearing clothes in a way that is friendly to the environment and respectful to the people involved in the production process. Many well-known fashion brands around the world have started to change their production methods and use more eco-friendly materials. For example, they choose organic cotton that is grown without harmful chemicals, which is not only good for the soil and water but also safer for people’s skin. Some brands even recycle plastic bottles from daily life, process them into soft cloth, and then make them into T-shirts or jackets. Besides, they also try their best to reduce waste by reusing old clothes. For instance, some brands set up collection boxes in shopping malls to collect old jeans, and then process these old jeans into new bags, wallets or even new pieces of clothing. Why is sustainable fashion so important for our world? First of all, making traditional clothes usually uses a huge amount of water and energy. It is reported that producing a single cotton T-shirt needs hundreds of litres of water. Second, a large number of old clothes are often thrown away and end up in landfills every year. These clothes take a long time to decompose and will pollute the soil and groundwater. By choosing sustainable fashion, we can effectively reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, thus helping protect our precious planet. As students, we can also take small but meaningful actions to join in the sustainable fashion movement. We can try to buy fewer new clothes and take good care of our old clothes to make them last longer. We can also sort out our old clothes that are still in good condition and give them to others who need them, such as children in poor areas or people around us. Remember, fashion is not just about looking fashionable and beautiful, it’s also about being responsible for our environment and our world. 1．What is the correct definition of sustainable fashion? A．Making clothes as cheap as possible. B．Making and wearing clothes friendly to the environment and people. C．Wearing the most popular clothes in the fashion industry. D．Using only new materials to make clothes. 2．Which of the following materials is considered eco-friendly according to the passage? A．Cotton grown with harmful chemicals. B．Recycled plastic bottles made into soft cloth. C．Cloth made from non-recyclable waste. D．Paper that can’t be reused. 3．What is the purpose of some fashion brands collecting old jeans? A．To throw them away in landfills. B．To sell them at a high price. C．To reuse them to make new things. D．To show them in fashion shows. 4．According to the passage, which of the following is a reason why sustainable fashion is important? A．Traditional clothes-making uses little water. B．Old clothes can’t pollute the earth. C．It helps protect our planet. D．It makes fashion brands earn less money. 5．What can students do to take part in sustainable fashion according to the passage? A．Buy as many new clothes as possible. B．Throw old clothes away after wearing once. C．Give old clothes to people in need. D．Refuse to wear any fashionable clothes. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．C 【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了随着社会发展和环保意识增强，可持续时尚这一概念在品牌和消费者中越来越受欢迎。文章阐述了可持续时尚的定义、知名品牌采用的环保生产方式、可持续时尚的重要性，以及学生参与可持续时尚的方式。 1．第一段明确提到“Sustainable fashion, also known as eco-fashion, means making and wearing clothes in a way that is friendly to the environment and respectful to the people involved in the production process”，这直接说明可持续时尚的定义是制作和穿着对环境和生产过程中的人友好的衣服。 2．第二段指出“Some brands even recycle plastic bottles from daily life, process them into soft cloth, and then make them into T-shirts or jackets”，这表明将回收的塑料瓶加工成软布是环保材料，所以选项B正确。 3．第二段提到“some brands set up collection boxes in shopping malls to collect old jeans, and then process these old jeans into new bags, wallets or even new pieces of clothing”，这直接说明一些时尚品牌收集旧牛仔裤是为了再利用它们制作新物品。 4．第三段指出“By choosing sustainable fashion, we can effectively reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, thus helping protect our precious planet”，这直接说明可持续时尚重要的原因是它有助于保护我们的星球。 5．最后一段提到“We can also sort out our old clothes that are still in good condition and give them to others who need them, such as children in poor areas or people around us”，这直接说明学生可以参与可持续时尚的方式是把旧衣服送给有需要的人。 Have you ever thought about what’s more important, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You might have noticed many people choosing style over comfort and some even go to extremes to follow fashion. But we should remember, being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and it can increase risks of falls. Some even wear tight clothes that influence blood circulation, making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health and to spend so much time and money?   So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, your worth is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By asking a question. D．By listing numbers. 2．Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage? A．Because the diets are healthy. B．Because they just want to look good. C．Because they want to save time. D．Because they want to save money. 3．What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in Paragraphs 2—4? A．To ask for help from readers. B．To tell us how to spend time and money. C．To describe the latest fashion. D．To lead readers to think about the topic. 4．What does the underlined word “well-being” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Growth. B．Health. C．Warmth. D．Wealth. 5．Which of the following is the right structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②/③④/⑤ C．①②③/④⑤ D．①/②③/④⑤ 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要就“健康和时尚哪个更重要”展开论述。最后呼吁人们要健康生活，不要过度在意外表。 1．根据第一段“Have you ever thought about what’s more important, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable?”可知，开篇提问看起来时尚还是感觉舒适更重要，作者以提问题的方式开启这篇文章。 2．根据第二段“Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health.”可知，有些人为了看起来好看，开始了极端的饮食。 3．根据第一段“But we should remember, being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy.”，第二段的问题“Is it a healthy way to live?”，第三段的问题“Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?”及第四段的问题“Is it really worth it to risk our health and to spend so much time and money?”可知，作者提出这些问题是为了引导读者思考“时尚不是一切，健康更重要”这个主题。 4．根据第二段“Is it a healthy way to live?”，第三段“Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?”及第四段“Is it really worth it to risk our health and to spend so much time and money?”可知，作者提出的每个观点都是围绕“健康和时尚”哪一个更重要，所以well-being指的是“健康”。 5．通读全文可知，第一段引出文章主题——时尚不是一切，健康更重要；第二、三、四段介绍了当下一些年轻人为了追求时尚而忽视健康的反面例子；最后一段总结全文，再次强调健康以及个人价值的重要性，本文的结构是总—分—总。 In recent years, it has become popular for women to wear a traditional qipao dress. Especially during the National College Entrance Examination, better known as the “gaokao”, many mothers wear qipaos to wish their children good luck in the exam. The reason is that “qipao” represents the Chinese phrase “qi kai de sheng”, meaning victory. The qipao has a high collar (领子), with pankou (盘扣), traditional Chinese knotted buttons, on the front. Some people believe the qipao originated from gowns (长袍) worn by women in the Qing Dynasty. Influenced by Western culture, it changed during the early 20th century, becoming more fitted. After years of development, the qipao is now mainly divided into Beijing styles, Shanghai styles and Hong Kong styles. The Beijing-style qipao is more traditional than Shanghai-style and Hong Kong-style qipaos. The colors of Beijing-style qipaos are much brighter. High-quality Beijing-style qipaos are usually made by hand, so the price is much higher. Compared with Beijing-style qipaos, Shanghai-style ones are more forward-looking. More western elements (元素) are used in the designs and colors. Shanghai-style qipaos became the most popular qipao style around the 1930s because of the fashionable design and slim shape. Now, Shanghai-style qipaos are still the first choice for most women, especially among younger ones. Hong Kong-style qipaos have been influenced greatly by European fashions. They have shorter sleeves (袖子) than the other two. The decorations are simpler, too. The qipao is a very classic product to represent the beauty of traditional Chinese clothing. It shows not only the history of Manchu people (and later the Han people), but also the footprints of other cultures on the land. 1．How does the author start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By describing a scene. D．By asking a question. 2．Which of the following is Not mentioned in Paragraph 2? A．Who buys the qipao. B．What the qipao looks like. C．The development of the qipao. D．The origin of the qipao. 3．Which sentence can be put in ________? A．They are also different in price. B．They influence each other in development. C．Different styles have their own buying groups. D．There are many differences in color and design. 4．Which words can best describe Shanghai-style qipao? ①traditional    ②modern    ③popular    ④simple A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④ 5．Which of the following statements is true about the qipao? A．It has become a symbol of good luck for students taking the gaokao. B．Its development shows a mix of tradition and influence from different cultures. C．The Shanghai style is more popular than the Beijing style because it costs less. D．It has remained unchanged since the Qing Dynasty. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了旗袍的文化寓意、外观、起源与发展，重点介绍了京派、海派、港派三种风格的特点，点明旗袍是融合传统与多元文化的中国传统服饰代表。 1．原文第一段“In recent years, it has become popular for women to wear a traditional qipao dress. Especially during the National College Entrance Examination, better known as the “gaokao”, many mothers wear qipaos to wish their children good luck in the exam. ”作者开篇介绍了近年来高考季很多妈妈穿旗袍为孩子个好彩头的常见社会现象，属于描述场景。 2．原文第二段“The qipao has a high collar (领子), with pankous (盘扣), traditional Chinese knotted buttons, on the front. Some people believe the qipao originated from gowns(长袍)worn by women in the Qing Dynasty. Influenced by Western culture, it changed during the early 20th century, becoming more fitted.”可知，第二段提及旗袍外观、起源和发展，未提及“谁购买旗袍”。 3．空格前总述旗袍分为京、沪、港三个流派，空格后分段分别介绍三个流派在颜色、设计、细节上的不同特征，只有“There are many differences in color and design.”能够承接上文总述、引出下文的分述，符合逻辑。 4．第五段“Shanghai-style ones are more forward-looking. More western elements (元素) are used…Shanghai-style qipaos became the most popular… till the first choice for most women”表明，上海旗袍现代且流行，对应②③。 5．文章最后一段“It shows not only the history of Manchu people (and later the Han people), but also the footprints of other cultures on the land.”提到，旗袍源自清代传统服饰，发展过程中融合了西方、欧洲文化，结尾也提到它既承载本民族历史，也留下了其他文化的印记，即传统与多元文化的融合。选项B“它的发展体现了传统与多元文化影响的融合。” 进阶拓展训练5篇 In early March 2026, a free AI tool called OpenClaw became popular in China. People call it “the Lobster” (龙虾) because its icon is a red lobster. It started a fashion across the country called “raising lobsters”—that means setting up and using this AI tool. A large number of technology fans waited in line for free setup in Shenzhen and Shanghai, and many people also paid for quick online help with setting it up. Unlike other common chat tools like ChatGPT, OpenClaw can do different kinds of practical tasks. It can work on many computer systems and goes well with everyday office programs. It can organize information, edit documents (编辑文件), and solve computer problems by itself, serving as a helpful tool. This change from “just chatting” to “working” made people want more suitable machines. Apple’s Mac mini has been sold out all over the world. Big companies like Tencent and Baidu have added one-click setting to make it easier to use, and local governments have made helpful rules to support similar research and develop new ideas. However, fast growth also brings risks. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工信部) warned that wrong setup might lead to cyberattacks and data leaks. Because of this risk, some big international companies even stopped using OpenClaw. Also, people who use it a lot have to keep paying for necessary language services. As international news said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work better. However, to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must put new technology, online safety, and cost control together. 1．How does the writer describe OpenClaw’s popularity in Paragraph 1? A．By asking questions B．By telling a story C．By giving examples D．By listing reasons 2．What makes OpenClaw different from common chat tools? A．It is able to complete practical tasks by itself. B．It supports talking with people all over the world. C．It provides free office programs for users. D．It works faster than other AI tools. 3．What can we know from the second paragraph? A．OpenClaw will be in use in most companies soon. B．Apple’s Mac mini is the only machine people can buy. C．Local governments do nothing for the development of OpenClaw. D．OpenClaw helps increase the sales of suitable machines. 4．What does the phrase “cyberattacks and data leaks” most probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．helping people work better by sharing useful information B．harmful online actions and losing private information C．collecting and keeping information in a safe way D．sending information to others quickly through the Internet 5．Which opinion would the writer probably agree with? A．OpenClaw will do all the office work soon. B．OpenClaw is a useful AI tool but needs proper use and management. C．It’s right for big international companies to stop using OpenClaw. D．OpenClaw’s success shows that ChatGPT is no longer useful. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了2026年3月走红的免费AI工具OpenClaw（被称为“龙虾”）的特点、应用场景、带来的影响以及快速发展中伴随的风险。 1．第一段中通过列举“technology fans waited in line for free setup in Shenzhen and Shanghai”以及“many people also paid for quick online help”等具体例子，来说明OpenClaw的受欢迎程度。 2．第二段中提到“Unlike other common chat tools like ChatGPT, OpenClaw can do different kinds of practical tasks...This change from ‘just chatting’ to ‘working’...”，说明OpenClaw与普通聊天工具的不同之处在于它能够自己完成实际任务。 3．第二段中提到“This change...made people want more suitable machines. Apple’s Mac mini has been sold out all over the world.”，说明OpenClaw帮助提升了合适机器的销量。 4．根据第三段划线短语所在句“China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology warned that wrong setup might lead to cyberattacks and data leaks.”并结合后一句“Because of this risk, some big international companies even stopped using OpenClaw.”可知，划线短语出现在第三段阐述错误安装带来风险的语境中，属于负面结果，结合选项可以推断“cyberattacks and data leaks”指的是有害的网络行为和隐私信息泄露。 5．第三段末尾作者提到“to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must put new technology, online safety, and cost control together.”，因此作者最可能同意的观点是OpenClaw是有用的AI工具，但需要正确使用和合理管理。 Guochao: Where Tradition Meets Trend “Guochao” (国潮), or “China-Chic,” is no longer a niche concept but a powerful cultural movement.

The bookstore had been in the neighbourhood for 50 years, and it was a great place where people could know each other through their love of books. When I met Old Tim, the store’s owner, he said it was difficult to run a traditional bookstore in the digital (数字化) age. Most young people preferred reading e-books and more people bought books online. As Tim spoke, childhood memories came back to me. A group of us kids used to visit the store, spending hours reading there or just talking with Tim. Tim encouraged us to share our ideas by writing them on a large board. A few months later, I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business. It was still old, but inside it was like a different world. In an area, a book reading was going on. Nearby, some readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board. Some were reading on computers. It even had a coffee shop selling nice food. Tim told me there were more community events in the coffee shop such as book readings, concerts and movie nights. Clearly, the Bright Bookstore had found new, creative ways to bring itself into a new life. It had changed into a vibrant space. “Well, as you can see, technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so glad to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here,” Tim said with a smile. No matter how times change, there are always people who love reading. With the development of technology, traditional bookstores must also change in creative ways. 1．Why is it difficult to run a traditional bookstore? A．Because fewer young people like reading. B．Because more bookstores compete. C．Because online bookstores and e-books have developed. D．Because the books are old. 2．What could book lovers do in the new Bright Bookstore? ①People can have coffee while reading. ②People can read books on computers. ③People can share ideas on a digital screen. ④People can write thoughts on a large board. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 3．What does the underlined word“vibrant”mean in Paragraph 5? A．full of life and energy B．old-fashioned and out-of-date C．quiet and crowded D．completely digital 4．What was Tim’s attitude(态度) towards the bookstore at last? A．He couldn’t stand it. B．He didn’t care about it. C．He worried about it. D．He warmly welcomed it. 5．What does the writer want to show us by writing this passage? A．Share love, spread kindness. B．Read to grow, grow by reading. C．Pass down tradition, light up the future. D．Technology drives change, creativity leads the way. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Bright Bookstore这家传统老店在数字化时代的困境与转型：原本因电子书、线上购书的冲击濒临关闭，最终通过融入科技、增设社区活动、打造咖啡空间等创新方式重获新生，传递出“科技驱动变革，创意引领未来”的主旨。 1．根据第二段“he said it was difficult to run a traditional bookstore in the digital age. Most young people preferred reading e-books and more people bought books online.”可知，传统书店经营困难的原因是电子书和线上购书的发展，对应C选项。A选项“年轻人不爱读书”错误，原文是年轻人偏好电子书，并非不爱阅读；B、D选项文中未提及。 2．根据第四段“Nearby, some readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board. Some were reading on computers. It even had a coffee shop selling nice food.”可知，在大木板上写想法是旧书店的方式，新书店已改为电子屏幕。A、B、C正确。 3．根据第五段“Clearly, the Bright Bookstore had found new, creative ways to bring itself into a new life. It had changed into a vibrant space.”说明书店变得充满生机与活力，vibrant意为“充满生机与活力的”。 4．根据第六段“Tim said with a smile. ‘I’m so glad to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here’”可知，Tim对转型后的书店非常满意，持欢迎态度。 5．根据最后一段“No matter how times change... With the development of technology, traditional bookstores must also change in creative ways.”可知，文章核心主旨是科技驱动变革，创意引领未来，对应D选项“Technology drives change, creativity leads the way.” The costs of fast fashion We live in a “throw-away” culture — from clothing to coffee cups. Fast fashion encourages us to treat clothes as disposable (一次性的). Clothes stores change their product series every few weeks, producing a repeated production cycle that causes serious harm to nature. But nothing we produce is ever truly gone. It either returns to nature or pollutes. The fast fashion industry, driven by low costs, shows how the planet pays the price. _______________ Each year, more than 1.2 billion new smartphones are produced worldwide. This process uses plenty of energy and natural resources (资源), while also bringing huge numbers of electronic waste, as people often replace perfectly workable phones every few years. To address this challenge, researchers have come up with a new method—changing old phones into tiny data centers to process and store data for real-world needs. Seine hopes to come back! For centuries, the Seine was Paris’s source (来源) of life and daily refreshment (焕发精神). Long before modern pools, Parisians washed clothes, drew drinking water, and cooled off in the river. But by the early 20th century, Paris’s rapid development brought serious pollution. Waste poured in from riverside factories, turning the once-clear Seine into an unsafe waterway. Over the years, the city has made efforts to restore (恢复) the river’s health. Seine: 塞纳河，是法国北部的重要河流。 1．In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news? A．BUSINESS. B．ENVIRONMENT. C．TECHNOLOGY. D．NATURE. 2．What might be an example of “the price” in the first news? A．Expensive clothes. B．Slower fashion. C．Mounting wastes. D．Closed stores. 3．The best heading for the second news would be ________. A．New life for old phones B．Smartphones are data centers C．Don’t change phone often D．The value of used products 4．What can we know about the Seine from the third news? A．There aren’t factories along it. B．Paris failed to restore its health. C．It has lost its cultural meanings. D．People might not swim in it now. 5．What do the three pieces of news focus on? A．Developing a creative mind. B．Fighting for a greener world. C．Dealing with everyday pollution. D．Protecting traditional cultures. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道的组合，选自报纸的不同板块。第一篇介绍了快时尚产业对环境造成的代价（堆积的废弃物）；第二篇介绍了一项将旧手机转化为微型数据中心以减少电子垃圾的技术新方法；第三篇介绍了塞纳河的历史、污染与治理情况，关注其生态恢复。 1．推理判断题。 根据第一篇标题“The costs of fast fashion”（快时尚的代价）及其内容“the planet pays the price.”（地球为此付出代价）；第二篇标题“________”（留空，内容是关于将旧手机转化为数据中心以减少电子垃圾）；第三篇标题“Seine hopes to come back!”（塞纳河希望回归！）及内容关注河流污染与恢复。三篇新闻均聚焦于人类活动对环境的影响以及相应的解决或改善措施，属于环境保护主题。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。 根据第一段最后一句“The fast fashion industry, driven by low costs, shows how the planet pays the price.”结合前文“Nothing we produce is ever truly gone. It either returns to nature or pollutes.”可知，“代价”指的是快时尚带来的废弃物堆积和污染问题。故选C。 3．最佳标题题。 根据第二段“researchers have come up with a new method—changing old phones into tiny data centers”以及整段内容围绕利用旧手机、减少电子垃圾展开，可知核心是“给旧手机赋予新的生命/用途”。选项A“New life for old phones”（旧手机的新生命）准确概括了主旨。故选A。 4．推理判断题。 根据第三段“But by the early 20th century, Paris’s rapid development brought serious pollution... turning the once-clear Seine into an unsafe waterway.”以及“Over the years, the city has made efforts to restore the river’s health.”可推知，由于污染问题，河流可能不再适合游泳，尽管有恢复努力，但现状可能仍不允许。选项D“People might not swim in it now.”（人们现在可能不在里面游泳了）是合理推断。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。 综合三篇新闻，第一篇讲快时尚的环境代价（废弃物），第二篇讲减少电子垃圾的创新方法，第三篇讲河流污染的过去与治理努力。三者共同关注环境问题及其应对，旨在呼吁或展示为更绿色的世界而努力。选项B“Fighting for a greener world.”（为一个更绿色的世界而奋斗）最能概括这一共同焦点。故选B。 Fast fashion has changed the way we dress. Clothes are cheaper and easier to buy than ever before. But there is a hidden price: the environment. Every year, about 92 million tons of clothing are thrown away. That is like a garbage truck full of clothes being thrown away every second. Imagine all those shirts, pants, and dresses ending up in landfills（垃圾填埋场）! To solve this problem, a group of Austrian researchers led by Thomas Harter has a smart idea: turn old clothes into stronger packaging paper. Instead of letting clothes rot（腐烂）in landfills, they give them a second life. The process starts with cutting the clothes into tiny pieces. These pieces are put in a water-based solution（溶液）, and then they go through a special machine. This step separates the cotton fibers（纤维）. After that, the fibers are mixed with recycled paper pulp（纸浆）. Here’s the cool part: textile（纺织品）fibers are much longer than paper fibers. Because of this, they make the final paper stronger. The new paper looks a bit brown and has small spots（点）of color from the old clothes. But it works well for packaging and can be recycled just like normal paper. The project is still new, but the team hopes to improve it by using some safe chemicals. This would make the process faster, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly. When the new method is ready, it could help reduce textile waste around the world. One more good thing? The new paper is stronger, so it can be used longer. This means less paper will be thrown away when making packaging. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic of the text? A．By listing the steps to recycle old clothes. B．By telling a story about Austrian researchers. C．By asking a question about the environment. D．By showing the environmental problem caused by fast fashion. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The way to cut the clothes into tiny pieces. B．The environmental advantages the project can bring. C．The process of turning old clothes into packaging paper. D．The differences between textile fibers and paper fibers. 3．What makes the new paper stronger? A．Paper fibers. B．Small spots. C．Long textile fibers. D．Safe chemicals. 4．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The color. B．The new paper. C．The project. D．The recycled paper pulp. 5．What would be the best title for the text? A．Reducing Fast Fashion Waste B．Giving Old Clothes a Second Life C．How to Protect the Environment D．How to Make Stronger Packaging Paper 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了快时尚带来的服装浪费问题，以及奥地利研究人员将旧衣服转化为更坚固包装纸的创新方案，阐述了该方案的流程、优势及意义。 1．文章开头指出：“Fast fashion has changed the way we dress... But there is a hidden price: the environment... 92million tons of clothing are thrown away”，说明作者通过展示快时尚造成的环境问题引出主题。 2．第三段详细说明：“The process starts with cutting the clothes into tiny pieces... These pieces are put in a water-based solution... go through a special machine... separate the cotton fibers... mixed with recycled paper pulp”，可知该段主要介绍旧衣服转化为包装纸的过程。 3．第四段指出：“textile fibers are much longer than paper fibers. Because of this, they make the final paper stronger”，说明长纤维让新纸张更坚固。 4．第四段中“it”所在句为“The new paper looks a bit brown and has small spots of color from the old clothes. But it works well for packaging...”，这里的“it”指代前一句的主语“The new paper”。 5．文章核心是“turn old clothes into stronger packaging paper”，即给旧衣服赋予新的用途（二次生命），“Giving Old Clothes a Second Life”最能概括文章主旨。 能力综合实践5篇 Do you know where the colors of your clothes come from? The answer is dye (染料). The clothes we wear these days are mainly dyed by machine. But in the past, people did this by hand. Tie-dye (扎染) is an old way of dyeing in China. It is a kind of art with a history of more than 1,000 years. The dyes often come from plants. People use the natural plants to make the colors. They put the clothes in the colors and take them out after some time. Then they put the clothes in the sun. After that, the clothes become beautiful. Nowadays tie-dye is very popular even among many young people. They like to wear tie-dye clothes. And many foreign friends like to buy tie-dye clothes as souvenirs. In 2006, the tie-dye skills were added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Anning in Yunnan is well-known for tie-dye. Yang Chen, 52, is the inheritor (继承人) of tie-dye. He learned the skills from his mother in the 1980s. And he has passed it down to his daughter. He thought people should try their best to make tie-dye skills better. Yang Chen has learned all the old skills of tie-dye. At the same time, he also tries to make some creative designs. Yang likes telling people about the history of tie-dye in Chinese culture. And he thinks that the old skills are very important. “The old skills are the roots of our culture,” he says. So now he teaches tie-dye skills in schools and other places. He wants more young people to learn about the old skills, and he also hopes that one day tie-dye will be part of fashion everywhere. He thinks it’s important to keep this traditional Chinese art alive. Some might worry that tie-dye will be replaced by machinery dyeing. But Yang is confident. “Machines can’t do what we do,” he says. “They can’t replace our creative hands.” 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving a fact. B．By telling a story.

But lately, things have changed. Shoes that were once thought “ugly”, like Crocs and Birkenstocks, are now popular for everyday wear among the youth. So, why do people love these “ugly” shoes? One of the reasons is how comfortable they are. Birkenstocks, for example, are special because they have flexible (柔韧的) footbeds. After people wear the shoes for a while, the footbeds slowly change to fit their feet. The choice is also about self-expression. Take Crocs for example: Their thick bottoms and holes might seem strange, but when you add colorful small things to them, they become a fun and special way to stand out. Carolyn Mair, a professor, said, “Our brains are often attracted to the unusual over the simple. That’s why people are easily attracted to something new and strange.” So, in addition to the comfort value of these shoes, perhaps it is the wish for attention that influences wearers. Young people’s love for “ugly” shoes is not about saying no to beauty, but it’s about going against old fashion rules. By mixing comfort, creativity and even humor (幽默), they’re changing what “cool” means. 1．What do the underlined words “high heels” mean?​ A．Comfortable sports shoes. B．Colorful summer skirts. C．Beautiful long dresses. D．Shoes with high parts at the back. 2．Why are Birkenstocks popular? A．They are cheap and people can always buy new ones. B．They are decorated with colorful designs. C．Their footbeds can change to fit people’s feet. D．They have thick bottoms and many small holes. 3．According to Carolyn Mair, what might encourage people to wear “ugly” shoes? A．Hoping to look perfect. B．Wanting to get attention. C．Disliking traditional shoe design. D．Considering them as more fashionable. 4．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward young people’s love for “ugly” shoes? A．He thinks it is a good change. B．He thinks it is a bad choice. C．He feels worried about it. D．He has no idea about it. 5．What’s the best title for the passage?

It’s said that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu discovered how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. Silk was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. For hundreds of years, China kept the skill of silk-making a secret under the kings’ orders. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian traveled to Central Asia with silk. This journey started the Silk Road, a trade route connecting China with Europe. The road was busy with traders who crossed deserts and mountains. They sold silk and tea from China, bringing back Western treasures like spices, gold and silver. At first, people traded goods. Later, they shared ideas, cultures and technologies. For example, Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new math and science ideas came to China Most importantly, the Silk Road helped cultural exchange. People shared art, music and even language along this ancient road. The Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) is a great example, the art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles and became distinctive. They can not be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road shows people far away can become friends through trade and shared knowledge.

Most people think they go to a landfill (垃圾填埋场). But the truth is surprising. Some of them travel thousands of miles to countries far away. Every year, people in rich countries buy more clothes than they need. Fashion changes quickly, and cheap clothes make it easy to buy new ones. But what happens to the old ones? Some are given to charity shops. Some are thrown in the bin. But a large amount is packed into huge bales (大包) and sent to countries in Africa and Asia. Take Ghana, a country in West Africa, as an example. Every week, about 15 million used clothes arrive at its capital, Accra. These clothes are sold in huge markets like Kantamanto. People call them “dead white man’s clothes” because they come from Western countries. At first, this might sound like a good thing. People in Ghana can buy cheap clothes. But there is a dark side. About 40% of these clothes are of such poor quality that no one wants to buy them. They end up in open dumps, rivers, or are burned. This causes serious pollution. The chemicals in the clothes harm the soil and water. Burning them poisons the air. Some people are trying to solve this problem. Organizations are teaching people how to recycle old clothes into new products. For example, worn-out jeans can become bags. Old T-shirts can be turned into rugs. Designers are also creating new fashion from waste materials. The next time you want to throw away an old T-shirt, think about its journey. Could it be turned into something new? Could someone else use it? Every small choice we make can help reduce waste and protect our planet. 1．What happens to most old clothes from rich countries? A．They are all recycled into new products. B．They are sent to landfills in the same country. C．They are shipped to other countries for sale. D．They are all given to charity shops. 2．Why do people in Ghana call used clothes “dead white man’s clothes”? A．Because the clothes are of poor quality. B．Because they come from Western countries.

B．They are too expensive for local people. C．They cause pollution to the environment. D．They make local clothes less popular. 4．How does the writer organize Paragraph 5? A．By telling a story. B．By comparing different opinions. C．By giving examples. D．By listing numbers. 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．Fashion Trends in Africa B．The Secret Journey of Your Old Clothes C．How to Recycle at Home D．The History of Second-hand Markets 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了发达国家的旧衣物大多被运往非洲、亚洲等国家销售，其中劣质衣物造成了严重的环境污染，同时介绍了旧衣物回收再利用的解决办法，呼吁人们合理处理旧衣物、保护环境。 1．第二段最后一句：“But a large amount is packed into huge bales and sent to countries in Africa and Asia.
