(2026·河南名校模拟)Wayfinding— the art of navigating (导航) using the wind, stars, ocean swells, and other environmental cues—was how sailors from the Marquesas Islands first discovered Hawaii more than 1,500 years ago. These skills are helping to restore a sense of pride in Pacific Island culture and heritage. But beyond that, wayfinding holds surprising relevance for the rest of us landlubbing urbanites, even if we have no intention of crossing vast oceans in a canoe.
Wayfinding is how humans have found their way for most of our existence. It's what enabled the aboriginals, Arab nomads and Inuits to journey across monotonous (单调的) yet shifting landscapes of land, desert, and ice. Traditional navigation is about “using everything that's provided to you in nature”, says Junior Coleman, who oversees sailing and seamanship in his own company. “We use all the elements and forces in nature—the sun, stars, moon, waves, currents, clouds and different animals. All of those.”
One of Coleman's favorite cues, for instance, is the North Star. “It's very reliable when you sail north of the equator. As you go towards it, it appears to get higher in the sky, so it kind of corresponds with your latitude.” Another cue is ocean swellswaves formed by permanent weather systems, such as trade winds, that can travel hundreds of miles. Subtle changes in their refraction patterns can indicate an island and its location. But learning to “read” such swells is one of the hardest skills to masternavigators often speak of lying down on their canoes to feel, rather than see, such waves.
Coleman encourages everyone to give natural navigation a go, “I promise you, the brain just loves it,” he says, “there's almost no other art that I can think of where you can exercise your brain in a fantastically positive way.”

(2025·湖北武汉武昌区模拟)In a workingclass neighborhood on the south side of El Paso, the tap, tap, tap of Jose Contreras' hammer (锤子) echoes from inside the blue warehouse on Cotton Street. Nearby, Victor Rodriguez narrows his eyes as he gently moves one side of a boot top beneath the needle of an antique Singer sewing machine, creating a flameshaped stitch (针脚) in clean white thread.
“These guys are some of the best in the world,” says Joey Sanchez, owner of the boot company CABOOTS, whose family has employed Contreras and Rodriguez for more than 30 years. But when he looks around the tiny shop on Cotton Street, he can't help but remember the way it used to be. “When I was a kid, this place was loaded with bootmakers.” he says, recalling the noise created by their hammers, sanders, and sewing machines.
Today, Contreras and Rodriguez aren't just the only bootmakers in the shop — even in their early 60s, they're among the youngest bootmakers left in the business. There's a name for craftsmen like them, according to Sanchez. Agujas de oro, or Golden Needles, are artisans who still know how to make boots the oldfashioned way. Many have been doing it since they were kids, growing up near the United StatesMexico border.
As big boot companies turned to technology to streamline production and reduce costs, producers in El Paso—where celebrities still arrive to pick out their flashy footwear—are struggling to replace these artisans when they retire or pass away. In fact, Agujas de oro are in such high demand around the Texas border town that many of them work at more than one shop.
“Shoemakers are a dying group,” Jose Sanchez says, nodding toward Rodriguez and Contreras, each preoccupied by the bit of leather in their hands. “You just can't find guys like these anymore. All the stuff they do by hand, other people do with machines. But machines just don't do it as well.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述美国埃尔帕索(El Paso)传统靴匠面临的行业困境:随着大型制靴公司转向技术生产,以 Contreras 和 Rodriguez 为代表的传统手工匠(Agujas de oro,“金针”)逐渐老龄化,技艺传承后继无人,传统制靴工艺面临衰退。
5.What is the main purpose of the second paragraph?( )
A.To highlight the decline of bootmaking.
B.To introduce Joey Sanchez's childhood.
C.To showcase bootmaking techniques.
D.To describe the work environment.
解析:A 推理判断题。根据第二段中Joey Sanchez回忆内容“When I was a kid, this place was loaded with bootmakers.”可知,Joey Sanchez小时候靴匠云集,可推理出第二段通过对比过去靴匠云集的热闹场景与当下店铺里仅存几位工匠的现状,突出传统制靴行业的衰退。
6.Why are Contreras and Rodriguez called “among the youngest” in their field?( )
A.They adopted new techniques.
B.They started bootmaking late.
C.Most artisans have retired or died.
D.The boot shop hired senior craftsmen.
解析:C 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,许多传统工匠已退休或离世,导致Contreras和Rodriguez在行业中成为“相对年轻”的存在。
7.What makes Agujas de oro highly valued?( )
A.Their reliance on mass production.
B.Their contribution to reduced costs.
C.Their preference for famous clients.
D.Their commitment to traditional skills.
解析:D 细节理解题。第三段提到“Agujas de oro, or Golden Needles, are artisans who still know how to make boots the oldfashioned way.”以及最后一段进一步强调“...All the stuff they do by hand, other people do with machines. But machines just don't do it as well.”可知,他们的价值在于对传统手工技艺的坚守。
8.What is Jose Sanchez's attitude towards the future of shoemakers?( )
A.Hopeful. B.Pessimistic.
C.Excited. D.Unconcerned.
解析:B 观点态度题。根据最后一段可知,何塞·桑切斯认为制鞋匠这个群体正在逐渐消失,很难找到像他们这样的手艺人了,可推断其对传统鞋匠的未来持悲观态度。

1.解析:is 考查时态及主谓一致。本句主语为The Mandarin Excellence Program,陈述一个现存的客观事实,因此用系动词is。
2.解析:delivered 考查非谓语动词。这里填入delivered与前面的funded并列,共同作后置定语,修饰前面的名词短语a language program。deliver意为“开展;实施”。
3.解析:that/which 考查定语从句。这里由关系代词that或which引导一个定语从句,修饰先行词initiatives。

5.解析:was launched 考查时态及语态。本句主语为The program,时间状语为in 2016,表达被动概念,因此用一般过去时的被动语态。
6.解析:an 考查冠词。an average of 是一个常见搭配,意为“平均为……”。
7.解析:with 考查介词。这里是一个由“with+名词+动词-ing形式”构成的with复合结构。
