Have you ever felt excited about very cheap and fashionable clothes in shops every few weeks? You can update your wardrobe(更新你的衣橱) without spending too much money. But have you ever stopped to think: Why are these clothes so cheap? The answer lies in something called “fast fashion”.
“Fast fashion” refers to how the clothing industry produces a lot of cheap clothes and gets them to stores every few weeks. The low prices let shoppers buy new clothes all the time. However, many of these clothes quickly wear out or go out of style. Their price tags also do not include the environmental costs behind them.
“The problem starts with how we think about fashion,” says Kirsi, a fashion researcher. “Nowadays, most people own too many clothes. They wear them for a very short time and then throw them away,” she says. Even if a piece of clothing stays in your wardrobe for years, you might only wear it about 40 times.
Besides, “fast fashion” pollutes the environment seriously. A study by Kirsi’s team found that the fashion industry leads to 8 to 10% of global carbon waste (全球碳排放) and 20% of the world’s water pollution from factories. When you buy a new fast-fashion shirt, you are not just paying money to the shop. You are also making pollution worse. You waste energy in transportation and create rubbish when your shirt is worn out and thrown away. The “low cost” of the shirt is actually paid by our Earth.
It is really attractive for us to get bargains easily. But just like there is no “free lunch” in the world, the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth. We should not only look for the cheapest clothes. Instead, we can think about the real cost of the things we buy — for our money and for our Earth.
31. “Fast fashion” is _________.
A. a popular idea of buying many clothes and throwing them away
B. a business way of quickly making and selling lots of cheap clothes
C. a shopping habit of buying new clothes with very little money
D. a kind of clothing that breaks easily and goes out of style
32. Why does the writer mention “you might only wear it about 40 times” in Paragraph 3?
A. To teach us how to wear clothes more often.
B. To explain clothes can be kept for many years.
C. To tell us to clean our wardrobe regularly.
D. To show we wear clothes for a very short time.
33. Which of the following is NOT true when you buy a new fast-fashion shirt?
A. You make pollution worse.
B. Energy is wasted in transportation.
C. Rubbish is created by the shop.
D. You pay money to the shop.
34. The underlined word “bargains” means “_________”.
A. cheap goods
B. affordable clothes
C. different samples
D. formal agreements
35. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. To let people care more about the environment.
B. To tell people to think carefully before buying clothes.
C. To ask experts to work out environmental problems.
D. To tell fashion industry to protect our Earth.
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了“快时尚”现象,即服装行业快速生产大量低价衣物,并频繁更新款式,使得消费者能不断购买新衣,揭开快时尚服装行业“价格低廉”的背后造成的环境问题。
【31题详解】
本题问快时尚的定义,根据文章第二段“‘Fast fashion’ refers to how the clothing industry produces a lot of cheap clothes and gets them to stores every few weeks. The low prices let shoppers buy new clothes all the time.”可知,快时尚是大量生产和销售便宜衣服的行业。
【32题详解】
根据文章第三段“Nowadays, most people own too many clothes. They wear them for a very short time and then throw them away.”可知,作者举例说一件衣服在衣橱很多年,可能也只会穿40次左右,是为了说明“大多数人有很多衣服,并且只会穿很短的一段时间就扔掉了。”
【33题详解】
本题为选非题,文章第四段详细说明了快时尚消费行为对环境带来的影响,根据“You are also making pollution worse.”、“You waste energy in transportation...”和“you are not just paying money to the shop...”可知,快时尚行为“加剧了污染”、“运输过程中浪费了能源”、“不只付钱给店铺(即给店铺付了钱)”,文章并没有提及“店铺产生垃圾”。
【34题详解】
根据文章第五段“the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth.”可知,“bargains”是以便宜的价格买到的商品。
【35题详解】
根据文章最后一段“But just like there is no ‘free lunch’ in the world, the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth. We should not only look for the cheapest clothes. Instead, we can think about the real cost of the things we buy — for our money and for our Earth.”可知,作者写文章的目的是通过揭示快时尚的环境代价,引导读者在购买衣物时做出更理性、负责任的选择。

D. Read the passage and answer the following questions. (前四小题每题1分,最后小题4分;共8分)
Robot Sharks Are Here to Help
Two sharks were swimming fast in West Lake. Their bodies were dark and shiny, and their fins (鱼鳍) cut through the water like knives. Wait a second—sharks in a lake? How could that be? They are not real sharks, but robots! Their job is to help visitors find lost phones and other things in the water. Let’s hear what their engineer has to say.
Why sharks? Sharks are great swimmers. About two-thirds of their bodies can bend (弯曲) and twist (扭动). So they can swim fast and turn quickly. When a robot shark swims in a pond, goldfish often follow it. Because they think it’s their new friend!
Inside the robot shark
Can it swim like a real fish? Not quite yet. Real fish are faster because of their soft muscles (肌肉). The robot shark’s body is harder. But scientists are still improving it. Maybe one day, it’ll swim just like the real fish!
Task One: Answer the questions. (回答问题)
43. What are the robot sharks in West Lake used to do?
________________________________________________________________
44. Why are sharks chosen to be the shape of the robots? List two reasons.
________________________________________________________________
45. How long can the robot shark swim with its battery?
________________________________________________________________
46. Is the robot shark faster or slower than real fish? Why?
________________________________________________________________
Task Two: Writing (读后创写)
47. Think and write: If you can make a “robot animal” to help humans, what animal will you choose (a robot bird, a robot dog, or a robot…)? What can it do? (In 30 words.)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】43.
To help visitors find lost phones and other things in the water.
44.
Sharks are great swimmers. They can swim fast and turn quickly.
45.
For four hours.
46.
Slower. Because real fish have soft muscles while the robot shark’s body is harder.
47.
I would choose a robot dog. It can help blind people cross the street safely and guide them to where they want to go. It can also carry heavy things for them.
【解析】

Have you ever felt excited about very cheap and fashionable clothes in shops every few weeks? You can update your wardrobe(更新你的衣橱) without spending too much money. But have you ever stopped to think: Why are these clothes so cheap? The answer lies in something called “fast fashion”.
“Fast fashion” refers to how the clothing industry produces a lot of cheap clothes and gets them to stores every few weeks. The low prices let shoppers buy new clothes all the time. However, many of these clothes quickly wear out or go out of style. Their price tags also do not include the environmental costs behind them.
“The problem starts with how we think about fashion,” says Kirsi, a fashion researcher. “Nowadays, most people own too many clothes. They wear them for a very short time and then throw them away,” she says. Even if a piece of clothing stays in your wardrobe for years, you might only wear it about 40 times.
Besides, “fast fashion” pollutes the environment seriously. A study by Kirsi’s team found that the fashion industry leads to 8 to 10% of global carbon waste (全球碳排放) and 20% of the world’s water pollution from factories. When you buy a new fast-fashion shirt, you are not just paying money to the shop. You are also making pollution worse. You waste energy in transportation and create rubbish when your shirt is worn out and thrown away. The “low cost” of the shirt is actually paid by our Earth.
It is really attractive for us to get bargains easily. But just like there is no “free lunch” in the world, the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth. We should not only look for the cheapest clothes. Instead, we can think about the real cost of the things we buy — for our money and for our Earth.
31. “Fast fashion” is _________.
A. a popular idea of buying many clothes and throwing them away
B. a business way of quickly making and selling lots of cheap clothes
C. a shopping habit of buying new clothes with very little money
D. a kind of clothing that breaks easily and goes out of style
32. Why does the writer mention “you might only wear it about 40 times” in Paragraph 3?
A. To teach us how to wear clothes more often.
B. To explain clothes can be kept for many years.
C. To tell us to clean our wardrobe regularly.
D. To show we wear clothes for a very short time.
33. Which of the following is NOT true when you buy a new fast-fashion shirt?
A. You make pollution worse.
B. Energy is wasted in transportation.
C. Rubbish is created by the shop.
D. You pay money to the shop.
34. The underlined word “bargains” means “_________”.
A. cheap goods
B. affordable clothes
C. different samples
D. formal agreements
35. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. To let people care more about the environment.
B. To tell people to think carefully before buying clothes.
C. To ask experts to work out environmental problems.
D. To tell fashion industry to protect our Earth.
C. Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文)(共7分)
Friendship often starts from small, kind actions. When the Smith family moved into the house next door, I didn’t think we would ever be friends. They seemed quiet and kept to themselves. My family, on the other hand, was loud and ____36____. Our house was always full of laughter and music.

Robot Sharks Are Here to Help
Two sharks were swimming fast in West Lake. Their bodies were dark and shiny, and their fins (鱼鳍) cut through the water like knives. Wait a second—sharks in a lake? How could that be? They are not real sharks, but robots! Their job is to help visitors find lost phones and other things in the water. Let’s hear what their engineer has to say.
Why sharks? Sharks are great swimmers. About two-thirds of their bodies can bend (弯曲) and twist (扭动). So they can swim fast and turn quickly. When a robot shark swims in a pond, goldfish often follow it. Because they think it’s their new friend!
Inside the robot shark
Can it swim like a real fish? Not quite yet. Real fish are faster because of their soft muscles (肌肉). The robot shark’s body is harder. But scientists are still improving it. Maybe one day, it’ll swim just like the real fish!
Task One: Answer the questions. (回答问题)
43. What are the robot sharks in West Lake used to do?
________________________________________________________________
44. Why are sharks chosen to be the shape of the robots? List two reasons.
________________________________________________________________
45. How long can the robot shark swim with its battery?
________________________________________________________________
46. Is the robot shark faster or slower than real fish? Why?
________________________________________________________________
Task Two: Writing (读后创写)
47. Think and write: If you can make a “robot animal” to help humans, what animal will you choose (a robot bird, a robot dog, or a robot…)? What can it do? (In 30 words.)
________________________________________________________________
Ⅱ. Writing. (写作)(20分)
Write at least 60 words according to the given situation. (根据所给情境,写一篇至少60个词的短文,标点符号不占格。)(共20分)
48. 在“匿名留言墙”上,有同学发帖:“Many of my friends like to copy social media influencers! Should I follow the trend?”请你以“My reply”为题,写一条回复,内容包括:
1.点明对方的困扰;
