In a busy community hall,volunteers work at the Share and Repair Cafe run by
Transition Crich,a "share and repair"project in the village of Crich.Volunteers mend
people's beloved clothes and fix household tools here.
This project started five years ago.A local magazine called for volunteers to make the
village more sustainable and eco-friendly.At first,volunteers only repaired items.Now it
offers craft activities,a cafe area and stands for local groups.Importantly,all services are
free.People only need to give donations to cover basic costs.
Alan is one volunteer offering a knife-sharpening service for kitchen knives and garden
tools.He once suffered from cancer and received great support from the local community.

The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a
groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit to children's literacy and
emotional development,but only if they can act out his works.
The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened
线
children's vocabulary,improved the quality of their writing,and enhanced their emotional
understanding."The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and
how they think about themselves,"said Jacqui O'Hanlon,lead researcher of the study.
The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten)at 45 state
primary schools.The children were divided into a target group and a control group.Both
groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after
being separated from Juliet.Before writing,the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-
based activity,while the control group did not.
It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary,used more
【高二英语⑧第4页(共10页)】
complicated or rarer words,and wrote at greater length.They also appeared more
comfortable writing in role.While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves
would react to being separated from a loved one,children in the target group put themselves
in Romeo's shoes and expressed that character's emotion.
O'Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the
children's writing,and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more
vividly."It is probably related to the drama-based process,where you are used to trying to
think and feel as the character,"she added.
But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists?O'Hanlon said more
research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare's use of 20,000 words,compared
苏
with the everyday 2,000 words,gave a massive expansion of language into children's lives,
which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life.
28.What does the study encourage children to do?
A.Perform Shakespeare's works.
B.Write their own original plays.
C.Learn Shakespeare's lines by heart.
D.Watch professional acting on stage.
29.Which aspect of the study is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A.Its procedure.
B.Its background.
C.Its purpose.
D.Its significance.
封
30.What impressed O'Hanlon most about the target group's writing?
A.Passage fluency.
B.Emotional depth.
C.Word complexity.
D.Plot imagination.
31.What can be learned from the text?
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Learning by doing works best.
C.Reading makes a full man.
D.Words are the voice of the mind.

A tiny piece of lab-grown wood could be a big step towards reducing the number of trees
cut down."As far as we know,our early prototype()is the first piece of interconnected
线
wood-like tissue ever produced from cell culture,"says Tom Clement at start-up New Dawn
Bio.
What the firm calls "cultured wood"is a wood-based and man-made version from labs.
The first piece of material was made using stem cells from Arabidopsis thaliana,a small plant
commonly used in lab studies.The piece,which Clement says is dark brown,is only about an
eighth of the size of a postage stamp.The goal,however,is to use stem cells from various
tree species and produce larger pieces of wood,such as an entire tabletop.
The company aims to produce wood more efficiently with lower environmental impact.
Clement says the approach involves two main stages.First,plant stem cells are put in sugar
【高二英语8第5页(共10页)】
water,enabling them to grow fast.Then,they are exposed to chemical or genetic cues (
to make them differentiate into fibre cells filled with cellulose-the primary component of
plant cell walls-or vessel cells,which help transport water and minerals through the tissue.
Together,these are the main structural components of wood.Once these cells become strong
and bond with each other,they are combined to form any shape.
Eventually,the researchers aim to copy wood from rare species threatened by illegal
logging ()Clement says cultured wood could replace harmful logging through relatively
small-scale production.Lab-grown wood will be expensive,but it can still compete with
costly rare wood.
This isn't the first attempt at cultured wood.Researchers previously tried to print wood-
like material,but were never able to produce material with the same mechanical qualities as
actual wood,says Fernando Velasquez-Garcia at MIT."The million-dollar question is
whether the cells connect.Are they just sitting together or are they shaking hands?"Clement
declined to share how the cells connect or the mechanical qualities of the resulting wood.
Without more details,it is impossible to judge whether the start-up has done so,Fernando
says.
32.What do we know about the lab-grown wood produced by New Dawn Bio?
A.It has replaced natural wood products.
B.It is considered an early breakthrough.
C.It is already large enough for tabletops.
D.It comes from a rarely studied lab plant.
33.What is formed in the second stage of making cultured wood?
A.Rare wood tissue.
B.Water and minerals.
C.Fast-growing stem cells.
D.Fibre cells and vessel cells.
34.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The outlook of rare wood products.
B.The growing threat of illegal logging.
C.The potential value of cultured wood.
D.The disadvantages of lab-grown wood.
35.Why does Fernando call cell connection "the million-dollar question"?
A.It makes rare tree species even rarer.
B.It affects how much the research costs.
C.It changes the qualities of actual wood.
D.It determines how wood-like the material is.

My journey with skateboarding began in 1975,and I was immediately hooked ()
For my 11th birthday,my father bought me my first board.It had cheap clay wheels that
shook,bumped and made much noise.36 This early experience taught me that passion
isn't about having the best equipment,but about the feeling it gives you.
Soon enough,I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder,a popular magazine
back then,and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together.37 The sense of
shared freedom was transformative,especially for someone who never stood out at traditional
team sports.
38 At one point,a friend who was a student at York,north of the city,suggested we
try the tunnels at the university.Yet,we found them closed,which only pushed me to
explore other places-empty parking lots,quiet office parks,and smooth pathways.The joy I
got from these experiences never left me.
As I grew older,my relationship with skateboarding matured.I created a website called
Skate Geezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s,70s and 80s.39 From
there,I eventually built a career in publishing at skateboarding magazines.
Now,with a family of my own,that passion rides on.I introduced all my children to
skateboarding almost as soon as they could walk.The full-circle moment of seeing my sons
surpass my own ability is a pride unlike any other.I know some journeys,when you stick
with them,don't end.40
A.I realized I needed much better equipment.
B.They just find new,beautiful paths forward.
C.It inspired me to write a book,The Concrete Wave.
D.That was when I decided to quit and try other sports.
E.Yet,none of that mattered when I felt the freedom of the ride.
F.We built skating tracks and spent hours riding down driveways.
G.In 1983,my skateboard accompanied me to university in Toronto.

these things are beyond what we can control.A mom and dad in Oklahoma must be especially
proud of their little boy after he rose to the occasion with rare and praiseworthy courage when
their lives were in danger.
The story began when tornadoes hit the area of Marietta,Oklahoma,at the end of April.
Wayne Baker,a husband and father who lives in the area,noticed an odd stillness in the air.
He didn't hesitate,gathering his wife,Lindy,and their son,nine-year-old Branson,jumping

in their truck and heading for a neighbor's storm shelter.
But on the way there,the tornado caught up with them with howling winds and spinning
clouds.In a second,a massive tree was lifted from the earth and hurled (towards their
truck,destroying the vehicle like a fragile toy.Wayne and Lindy were badly injured and
trapped.Wayne's back,neck and arm were broken,and he also lost part of a finger.Lindy's
back,neck,jaw,ribs (and right hand were broken.She had gone through the
windshield and remained halfway in the vehicle and halfway out.It was pretty horrible.
Fortunately,young Branson was not injured in the backseat.Most of us,at any age,
wouldn't want to take a single step in such horrible conditions.Yet somehow,this nine-year-
old boy found the strength to go for help.
