Rainie Huang’s journey in make-up artistry began in 2018. While studying for a fashion design degree at an art academy, she discovered her love for make-up in her free moments. In 2020, “the Palace Museum covered in snow” became a hot topic on social media. “It was my first time observing such a scene. An idea came upon me then: Were those cultural relics quietly appreciating the snow inside the palace?” Huang said. She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make-up. She skillfully recreated the features of an artifact on her face, bringing it to life.
Her designs quickly gained popularity. “This approach not only allows people to appreciate the make-up but also helps them connect with the liveliness of our cultural heritage.” Huang said. Some have expressed how her make-up designs have introduced them to many little-known artifacts. One follower said, “You have found and shared the valuable things from museums, allowing us to see and appreciate the artifacts that were once lost among many exhibits during our hurried visits.”
Huang has noticed that an increasing number of young people show a deep appreciation for the traditional culture. “It’s necessary for the ways museum culture is passed on to keep pace with the changing times to avoid culture loss. Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,” Huang said.
The total number of Chinese museums nationwide reached 6, 565 in 2022, ranking among the top in the world. In the past, many considered museum visits boring because of a lack of awareness of their wealth of collections. The recommendations by social media influencers and TV programs have led to a growing number of people realizing that museums offer a wide variety of interesting things. While not everyone may be interested in objects and history, the quest for beauty is born among people.
41. What did the snowy Palace Museum inspire Huang to do?
A. Start a career in fashion design. B. Present artifacts in snowy landscapes.
C. Create make-up to show artifacts’ beauty. D. Teach people to do make-up on social media.
42. Why do Huang’s designs become popular?
A. They follow the latest beauty topics.
B. They allow people to imagine missing artifacts.
C. They satisfy people’s curiosity about artwork design.
D. They make museum artworks more approachable.
43. What is Huang’s advice for young generations?
A. Replacing museum trips with online visits.
B. Spreading museum culture in inventive ways.
C. Keeping artifacts original for scientific research.
D. Connecting museum culture with business activities.
44. Which of the following can best describe Huang?
A. Friendly and positive. B. Independent and serious.
C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Talented and knowledgeable.
45. What is the last paragraph intended to tell us?
A. Museum collections face the challenge of technology.
B. Media influences have increased museums’ attraction.
C. Museums are changing practices to attract the young.
D. Most people think highly of museum objects and history.
【答案】41. C 42. D 43. B 44. C 45. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Rainie Huang从故宫雪景获得灵感,用化妆展现文物之美,其设计受欢迎,她还建议年轻人创新传承博物馆文化。

People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.
A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer.
All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.
“It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.”
Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.
“If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store, said Branson. “And nature doesn't grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No.1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”
46. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that .
A. more fruits are offered at lower prices
B. normal-looking produce is banned there
C. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there
D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day
47. According to Paragraph 3, Branson's program .
A. prevents people from wasting their food
B. happens to be a win-win arrangement
C. teaches food producers how to grow
D. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce
48. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The ugly food line B. The food to be wasted
C. The abnormal harvest D. All the produce
49. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.
B. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.
C. Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life.
D. Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws.
50. What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.
B. The world is usually full of imperfect things.
C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.
D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I’ve loved to sew (缝) all my life. I started sewing clothes for my dolls when I was 7. My mother showed me how to stitch with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime when it was too cold and snowy to play outside. As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d sit at the old sewing machine for hours.
In my late 20s, I began to buy used and vintage clothes to upcycle and refashion. My favorite places to buy vintage clothes are thrift shops (旧货店) and church rummage sales.
However, about 10 years ago, when I was ripping (撕) out the silk lining (内衬) from a beautiful long blue evening dress, I stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the seams (线缝). I pulled out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was holding a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in her early 20s.
Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner party? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty.
I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom, you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill (垃圾填埋场), and you’re creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus if you find objects in the pockets. The clothes are talking to you!”
I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery — and the many others I’ve found over the years — by displaying them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes even more. But I have learned to be a little gentler when I rip seams open with my scissors, and I approach pockets more carefully.
51. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________
52. How did the author feel immediately after discovering the photo in the dress pocket? (no more than 2 words)
________________________________________________________________________
53. What does the word “bonus” mean in Paragraph 5? (no more than 2 words)
________________________________________________________________________
54. What does the author do with her upcycling discoveries made over the years (no more than 15words)
________________________________________________________________________
55. If you found a personal item in second-hand clothes, how would you deal with it? Why? (no more than 20 words)
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】51. The author’s love of sewing and upcycling. 52. Guilty.
53. Extra surprise.
54. She displays them on a bulletin board in her sewing room.
55. I would keep it as a reminder of the previous owner’s story.

Rainie Huang’s journey in make-up artistry began in 2018. While studying for a fashion design degree at an art academy, she discovered her love for make-up in her free moments. In 2020, “the Palace Museum covered in snow” became a hot topic on social media. “It was my first time observing such a scene. An idea came upon me then: Were those cultural relics quietly appreciating the snow inside the palace?” Huang said. She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make-up. She skillfully recreated the features of an artifact on her face, bringing it to life.
Her designs quickly gained popularity. “This approach not only allows people to appreciate the make-up but also helps them connect with the liveliness of our cultural heritage.” Huang said. Some have expressed how her make-up designs have introduced them to many little-known artifacts. One follower said, “You have found and shared the valuable things from museums, allowing us to see and appreciate the artifacts that were once lost among many exhibits during our hurried visits.”
Huang has noticed that an increasing number of young people show a deep appreciation for the traditional culture. “It’s necessary for the ways museum culture is passed on to keep pace with the changing times to avoid culture loss. Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,” Huang said.
The total number of Chinese museums nationwide reached 6, 565 in 2022, ranking among the top in the world. In the past, many considered museum visits boring because of a lack of awareness of their wealth of collections. The recommendations by social media influencers and TV programs have led to a growing number of people realizing that museums offer a wide variety of interesting things. While not everyone may be interested in objects and history, the quest for beauty is born among people.
41. What did the snowy Palace Museum inspire Huang to do?
A. Start a career in fashion design. B. Present artifacts in snowy landscapes.
C. Create make-up to show artifacts’ beauty. D. Teach people to do make-up on social media.
42. Why do Huang’s designs become popular?
A. They follow the latest beauty topics.
B. They allow people to imagine missing artifacts.
C. They satisfy people’s curiosity about artwork design.
D. They make museum artworks more approachable.
43. What is Huang’s advice for young generations?
A. Replacing museum trips with online visits.
B. Spreading museum culture in inventive ways.
C. Keeping artifacts original for scientific research.
D. Connecting museum culture with business activities.
44. Which of the following can best describe Huang?
A. Friendly and positive. B. Independent and serious.
C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Talented and knowledgeable.
45. What is the last paragraph intended to tell us?
A. Museum collections face the challenge of technology.
B. Media influences have increased museums’ attraction.
C. Museums are changing practices to attract the young.
D. Most people think highly of museum objects and history.

I’ve loved to sew (缝) all my life. I started sewing clothes for my dolls when I was 7. My mother showed me how to stitch with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime when it was too cold and snowy to play outside. As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d sit at the old sewing machine for hours.
In my late 20s, I began to buy used and vintage clothes to upcycle and refashion. My favorite places to buy vintage clothes are thrift shops (旧货店) and church rummage sales.
However, about 10 years ago, when I was ripping (撕) out the silk lining (内衬) from a beautiful long blue evening dress, I stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the seams (线缝). I pulled out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was holding a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in her early 20s.
Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner party? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty.
I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom, you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill (垃圾填埋场), and you’re creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus if you find objects in the pockets. The clothes are talking to you!”
I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery — and the many others I’ve found over the years — by displaying them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes even more. But I have learned to be a little gentler when I rip seams open with my scissors, and I approach pockets more carefully.
