In a busy community hall, volunteers work at the Share and Repair Café 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 café 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. Working here helps him keep a positive attitude toward life. For him, giving back to the community is the least he can do.
Transition Crich also carries out other environmental projects. A coming fashion show calls on people to fight fast fashion with creative ideas of sustainable clothing. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. Besides, it cooperates with a local junior school to help students build a closer connection with nature.
Both volunteers and event-goers benefit a lot from Transition Crich. Loneliness troubles many people in society. What makes inclusion initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve.
4. What inspired the start of the “share and repair” project?
A. A repaired item. B. A donation campaign.
C. A volunteer appeal. D. A classic handcraft.
5. What does the sharpening service bring to Alan?
A. An optimistic attitude to life. B. Better treatments of cancer.
C. A steady economic support. D. Improved professional skills.
6. What does the underlined word “cognizant” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Analytical. B. Mindful. C. Curious. D. Independent.
7. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. Friends Who Mend B. Donations That Count
C. Sharing Coffee, Enjoying Lives D. Designing Projects, Meeting Locals

The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.
The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened 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 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 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.
8. 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.
9. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Its procedure. B. Its background.
C. Its purpose. D. Its significance.
10. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing?
A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth.
C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination.
11. 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 (原型) is the first piece of interconnected 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 version of lab-grown meat. 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 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 replicate (复制) wood from rare species threatened by illegal logging. Clement says cultured wood could displace 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 properties as actual wood, says Fernando Velásquez-García 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 properties of the resulting wood. Without more details, it is impossible to judge whether the start-up has done so, Fernando says.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The prospects 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.
15. 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 properties of actual wood.
D. It determines how wood-like the material is.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
My journey with skateboarding began in 1975, and I was immediately hooked (吸引). For my 11th birthday, my father bought me my first board. It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise. ____16____ 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. ____17____ The sense of shared freedom was transformative, especially for someone who never stood out at traditional team sports.
____18____ 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 SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. ____19____ 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. ____20____
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.

My uncle soon ____24____ the man suffered low blood sugar and needed sweet food badly. We all ____25____ that our simple snacks would not help much.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
No parent ever pictures having to count on their child for lifesaving help, but sometimes 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 (龙卷风) 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 (猛扔) 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 (肋骨) and right hand were broken. She had gone through the windshield (挡风玻璃) 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.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Despite the chaos and danger, Branson managed to climb out of the broken car.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Branson explained the situation, they immediately sprang into action.

The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.
The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened 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 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 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.
8. 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.
9. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Its procedure. B. Its background.
C. Its purpose. D. Its significance.
10. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing?
A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth.
C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination.
11. 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.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. B

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 (原型) is the first piece of interconnected 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 version of lab-grown meat. 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 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 replicate (复制) wood from rare species threatened by illegal logging. Clement says cultured wood could displace 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 properties as actual wood, says Fernando Velásquez-García 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 properties of the resulting wood. Without more details, it is impossible to judge whether the start-up has done so, Fernando says.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The prospects 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.
15. 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 properties of actual wood.
D. It determines how wood-like the material is.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了初创公司New Dawn Bio培育实验室木材的研究进展、制作过程及其潜在价值。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中““As far as we know, our early prototype (原型) is the first piece of interconnected wood-like tissue ever produced from cell culture,” says Tom Clement at start-up New Dawn Bio.(初创公司New Dawn Bio的Tom Clement说:“据我们所知,我们的早期原型是有史以来第一块由细胞培养产生的相互连接的木质组织。”)”可知,这种实验室培育的木材是有史以来第一块由细胞培养产生的相互连接的木质组织,所以是一项早期突破。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“First, plant stem cells are put in sugar 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.(首先,将植物干细胞放入糖水中,使其快速生长。然后,他们让细胞暴露于化学或遗传信号,促使其分化成充满纤维素的纤维细胞 (纤维素是植物细胞壁的主要成分)或导管细胞 (导管细胞有助于水分和矿物质在组织中的运输))”可知,第二阶段形成的是纤维细胞和导管细胞。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Eventually, the researchers aim to replicate (复制) wood from rare species threatened by illegal logging. Clement says cultured wood could displace harmful logging through relatively small-scale production. Lab-grown wood will be expensive, but it can still compete with costly rare wood.(最终,研究人员的目标是从受非法采伐威胁的稀有物种中复制木材。Clement说,通过相对小规模的生产,人工培育的木材可以取代有害的伐木。实验室种植的木材将很昂贵,但它仍然可以与昂贵的稀有木材竞争)”可知,第四段主要讲的是实验室培育木材的潜在价值。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Researchers previously tried to print wood-like material, but were never able to produce material with the same mechanical properties as actual wood... “The million-dollar question is whether the cells connect. Are they just sitting together or are they shaking hands?” (研究人员此前曾尝试打印类木材材料,但从未能生产出具有与实际木材相同机械性能的材料……“价值百万美元的问题是细胞是否连接。它们只是挤在一起,还是在握手?”)”可推知,Fernando称细胞连接为“价值百万美元的问题”,是因为它决定了材料在多大程度上像真正的木材。

My journey with skateboarding began in 1975, and I was immediately hooked (吸引). For my 11th birthday, my father bought me my first board. It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise. ____16____ 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. ____17____ The sense of shared freedom was transformative, especially for someone who never stood out at traditional team sports.
____18____ 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 SkateGeezer dedicated to skaters who had ridden in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. ____19____ 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. ____20____
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.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
No parent ever pictures having to count on their child for lifesaving help, but sometimes 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 (龙卷风) 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 (猛扔) 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 (肋骨) and right hand were broken. She had gone through the windshield (挡风玻璃) 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.

【答案】 Despite the chaos and danger, Branson managed to climb out of the broken car. The wind was still howling, and broken pieces flew through the air like deadly missiles. With his parents trapped and moaning in pain, Branson knew he had to act fast. Taking a deep breath, he started running toward the nearest house. His legs felt weak, and the roar of the tornado seemed to follow him, but he didn’t stop. He remembered the neighbor’s storm shelter was nearby, and he ran as fast as he could, screaming for help. Finally, he reached the door and pounded on it with all his strength. The door opened and a shocked couple asked what happened.
When Branson explained the situation, they immediately sprang into action. The neighbors grabbed a first-aid kit and rushed out, calling 911 on the way. Together, they hurried to the destroyed truck, where Wayne and Lindy were still trapped. The man forced the door open and the woman helped to wrap the wounds. Branson held his mother’s hand, whispering, “You’re going to be okay.” Within minutes, emergency services arrived. In time, his parents were rushed to the hospital and eventually made a full recovery. Though he was only nine years old, Branson had shown bravery and quick thinking beyond his years, proving that heroes can come in any size.
