The Hidden Carbon Footprint of the Fashion Industry Carbon emissions from the travel associated with the ready-to-wear wholesale buying process(tCOze)" Retallers■Designers Equivalency of number of homes being powered for a year Milan 28,000 5,000窗 London 29,000 5,000@ Paris 45,000 8,000 New York号 60.000 10,000 Other fashion weeks 79,00014.000 0 200,00 40.000 60.000 80,000 241000 This is equivalent to lighting up Times Square,NYC for 58 years But the problem is much bigger than these events.Fast fashion encourages people to treat clothes as disposable.Clothes stores change their product ranges every few weeks,generating a constant production cycle that causes significant damage to nature.To understand the true cost,we can look at a common item: a pair of jeans. Dyeing(染色)：The stage Washing: Production:The stage is responsible for the emission of consumes no less than 2,000 The stage requires no less than 1,000 about 13 kilograms of CO2. liters of water and 10 liters of chemicals and dyes. liters of water. Overall,the industry accounts for 8%of global CO2 emissions (and 20%of water pollution, leading the UN to declare an"environmental emergency."In response,a shift is beginning.For major fashion events,new formats combining virtual platforms and real-life elements aim to reduce the carbon footprint of global travel.Beyond the runway,a new initiative is taking shape.The expanding influence of online communication helps raise sustainability awareness,encouraging mindful consumption and driving industry change. 21.Which fashion week had the most serious environmental impact? A.Milan. B.London. C.Paris. D.New York. 第3页，共14页 22.What is the minimum amount of water required in processing a pair of jeans? A.1000 liters. B.2000 liters. C.3000 liters. D.3010 liters. 23.What change is the fashion industry experiencing regarding sustainability? A.Reducing event scales. B.Employing digital power. C.Seeking policy support. D.Using cheaper materials. B On a cold and wet evening in south London,a group of runners are doing something a little different. There are no exercise machines or gym mirrors in sight.Instead,they're moving earth,clearing weeds,and smiling through the mud on a garden.Their warm-up was a one-mile jog through the city to get there. This is GoodGym in action.It's a growing movement that's redefining what it means to work out.The organization invites people to"get fit by doing good",blending physical activity with hands-on community service.Members run,walk,or cycle to local projects that could range from sorting cans at a food bank, planting fruit trees,visiting an older adult,or moving furniture for someone in need. The idea began back in 2007 when founder Ivo Gormley started running to deliver a newspaper to an elderly neighbor.At the time,he was feeling out of shape and missed the friendship of his old basketball team. "I just didn't like that idea of going to a gym,going into a basement and lifting things that don't really need lifting,"Gormley said."I thought I could do something more useful in my exercise." He started organizing runs to places in need of helping hands.The very first group tore down outdated posters in his east London neighborhood.Since then,GoodGym has grown into a registered charity with over 26,000 members in 67 locations.Now it's aiming to expand into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Though few other organizations blend exercise and volunteering in quite the same way,Gormley believes the concept taps into something timeless."It's what people have always done,right?"he said."You grow some food literally through the action of planting and digging.That's where your exercise comes from." 24.Why does the author describe the runners working on a garden? A.To applaud their efforts. B.To describe a tough task. C.To compare different exercises. D.To introduce a new tendency. 25.What is the core value of GoodGym? A.Diversifying fitness methods. B.Lending a hand during workouts. C.Professionalizing volunteer work. D.Standardizing community service. 26.What inspired Gormley to start the organization? A.His personal failure. B.His physical condition. C.Influences from other runners. D.His reflection on workouts. 27.What does Gormley imply about GoodGym in the last paragraph? A.It fits with the idea of a natural lifestyle. B.It highlights the benefits of physical labor. C.It fills the gap in traditional physical training. D.It acts as an ideal alternative for modern gyms. 第4页，共14页 C Humans are not the animal kingdom's only fashionistas.Tits (can be fashion followers,too, apparently.A latest study shows that,given the chance,they decorate their nests with this season's must- have colour. Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin were following up on a study published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams,an American naturalist.He noticed that when he put various coloured balls of yarn (out in his garden,almost always one and only one became popular that season for being included into local birds'nests.But which particular color was favoured varied from season to season.This suggested that the colour chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others. Williams's work was,however,forgotten until they came across it while following up on a different study,published by a team at the University of Toulouse,suggesting fashion-following,too.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin therefore set out to re-run Williams's experiment,but this time to collect some actual numbers. The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue tits in a wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carried tracking devices fitted to them after their capture in mist nets.That allowed the institute's researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by recording their arrival at food containers throughout the wood.Instead of food,these containers were loaded with wool of different colors. Interestingly,researchers soon found that most nests of blue tits included only the color of the wool first chosen by a nest-builder. Tits,then,do seem to be "on trend",when it comes to nest-building materials.But why that should happen remains obscure.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin suspect the fashion leaders are older birds,and that evolution favours younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit.Williams's original work,though,suggests such initial choices are at random a bit like those of the leaders of human fashions. 28.What can we learn from paragraph 2? A.Yarn was an ideal material for birds'nests. B.Early bird's preference was copied by others. C.Birds'favorite colour was completely random D.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin contributed to William's work 29.How did Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin improve William's experiment? A.They studied the habits of blue tits. B.They observed the nests of blue tits. C.They adopted the data-collecting method. D.They fitted tracking devices to food containers. 30.What does the underlined word"obscure"in paragraph 5 mean? A.Unclear. B.Evident. C.Complicated. D.Shallow. 31.What is the main idea of the text? A.Birds favor certain colors in decoration. B.Young birds follow their elders in fashion. C.Young birds are just as intelligent as people. D.Birds are just as fashion-conscious as people. 第5页，共14页 D Spending time in space might sound thrilling,but it takes a serious impact on the human body. Weightlessness affects everything from muscles to blood flow.Hence,before astronauts head to the Moon or Mars,scientists must find ways to reduce the physical effects of long-term space travel. To help,ten healthy male volunteers aged from 20 to 40 with no allergies or dietary restrictions signed up for an unusual challenge,agreeing to spend ten days lying flat in a lab in France.Run by the European Space Agency(ESA),the experiment began on March 13,2025,where the volunteers stayed in bathtub-like containers covered with waterproof fabric,floating chest-deep in water (arms and heads above surface). These temporary waterbeds were designed to make like the weightlessness experienced in space.Meals were eaten flat on their backs,with pillows folded behind for support.Even bathroom trips were an adventure. The volunteers had to stay stretched out while being rolled away on a handcart! This method,called dry immersion ()offers a cheaper and simpler way to study how the body reacts to the absence of gravity.It produces many of the same effects,including blood rushing to the head and bone and muscle loss.After the ten-day immersion,the volunteers stayed at the lab for another five days for medical tests and recovery routines,which allowed the researchers to monitor how their bodies adjusted to normal conditions.Ten days after leaving the facility,the men returned for a final checkup to ensure there were no persistent effects from the experiment. ESA scientists believe that data from this study-and others like it-will be key to preparing astronauts for deep-space missions.However,the benefits of this research could also be of use to help people on Earth. Studying how the body responds to long periods of inactivity might lead to better treatments for laid-up patients,the elderly,and those with mobility issues. "Bridging the gap between spaceflight and ground-based research is essential for human space exploration,"said Marc-Antoine Custaud,who led the study."Our findings have significant implications for Earth-based medicine,particularly in age-related conditions." 32.What did volunteers have to do during the experiment? A They needed to taste a variety of food. B.They had to stay in a space-like environment. C.They were kept dry during the whole process. D.They were involved in the research for ten days in total. 33.Who might benefit from the research? A.Patients with blood disease. B.Astronauts with social issues. C.Seniors with limited health checkup. D.Youngsters with movement problems. 34.What did Custaud emphasize about the research? A.Its process. B.Its meaning. C.Its principle. D.Its application. 35.What can be the best title for the text? A.Space Travel:Its profound Benefits for Zero-Gravity Research. B.ESA's Dry Immersion Experiment:A good way to Study Universe. C.Lying Flat for Science:Ten Volunteers Joined to Aid Space Travel. D.The Impact of Weightlessness:How Astronauts Cope with Space Travel. 第6页，共14页 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For many,the idea of"the perfect"commute might sound laughable.If we travel to an office,it's likely to involve either peak-time public transport or stressful traffic.36But there are things we can do to make them more enjoyable,productive and healthier. So where to start?37_Creating a visual representation of how much commuting takes out of your day gives an accurate picture.It's not just about how much free time you have left;it's about seeing how commuting affects other activities in your life. The point is to get creative about how to maximize your available time.One strategy is to add new habits to your commute,which might mean building fitness into journeys by cycling,or walking part of the way.38That adds up to about five hours a week that people who commute every day have to themselves. 39 It offers a structured,regular window to focus on an idea or project.In Cal Newport's bestseller Deep Work,he suggests using chunks (of time to focus deeply on one topic."So if you're stuck on a bus,you could use the time to brainstorm a specific idea,either for work or a personal project," he says. This does sound appealing.What if I could reframe my commute as daily creative brainstorming sessions?40I have a friend who wrote a novel on his daily commute from Brighton to London. Perhaps the perfect commute isn't about perfect conditions-it's about perfecting how we use the time we have. A.This isn't just wishful thinking. B.Begin by blocking it out on a calendar. C.Commuting holds a hidden opportunity D.It is never enjoyable to be stuck in traffic E.You wouldn't think either offers much joy F.Or you could use the time to learn a foreign language. G.It might also mean anything that takes us out of work mode. 第三部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分40分) 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Last fall,I studied abroad at Denmark Technical University.My main criterion for choosing a school was that I wanted to live in a country where I could 41English alone.

My parents exchanged glances,then nodded readily.But beside me,my younger sister,Lily,froze.Her wide eyes locked onto mine."But...What about Miracle?She'll be terrified,Ethan." Miracle was a cat Lily rescued on a rainy day last winter.True to her name,the cat had survived.Yet, it remained a creature of profound shyness:Loud voices sent her trembling under beds;sudden movements made her jump.She wasn't just a pet;she was a fragile soul Lily fiercely protected. "I promise,Lily,"I insisted,leaning forward,meeting her worried gaze."We'll stay in the living room. No loud music,no shouting games.I'll keep the back door shut tight,and I'll warn everyone to be quiet. Miracle won't even know they're here."I saw the conflict in her eyes-her desire to be supportive warring with her deep concern for the poor cat.After a tense silence,she finally gave a small,reluctant nod. Saturday arrived with sunshine and laughter as my friends piled in.True to my word,I guided them straight to the living room,reminding them firmly about Miracle's sensitivity.Initially,we chatted and played games quietly.Glancing around,I spotted Miracle sliding silently down the hallway toward Lily's room."Good,she's keeping her distance,"I thought,relieved. As the afternoon wore on,however,the initial caution disappeared.A competitive board game led to enthusiastic cheers and laughter.Lost in the sheer fun of being with my friends,I forgot everything-the promise and the fragile creature. After friends departed with cheerful goodbyes,I began tidying the empty glasses,still lost in the happy scenes when Lily burst through the front door into her room.Then came her scream,"Ethan,Miracle is gone!" 1.续写短文的词数应为150左右： 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 A cold wave of fear rushed through me.
