The needs of plus-size consumers have long been the elephant in the room of the fashion industry until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind. This size-inclusive trend has become so popular that it is influencing mainstream culture. As a result, fashion brands have finally decided to extend their size ranges. In 2022, the plus-size market grew twice as fast as the standard size market in both North America and the UK.
Yet, many consumers say fashion brands broadening their ranges are not truly inclusive. “Inclusive sizing means that all bodies are included in fashion, not just the ones who fit in standard sizes,” says Marie Southard Ospina, a UK-based journalist who covers body-image issues. “However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.”
Researchers also criticize that some brands are just taking advantage of the trend. “Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn’t feel like they really care about plus-size people,” says Tom Burgess, analyst in fashion industry. “If brands cared about large-bodied consumers, then it wouldn’t have taken until now to acknowledge that they exist,” he says. “It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.”
The fashion industry must go beyond merely producing clothing in a particular range of sizes if they hope to succeed with a body-diverse world. The whole industry has to connect on a personal level with consumers. That involves showing shoppers that they are seen, understood and important to brands. “Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US.
4. What do the underlined words “the elephant in the room” mean in the first paragraph?
A. The hot issue that is valued. B. The obvious truth that is ignored.
C. The important principle that is recognized. D. The common phenomenon that is criticized.
5. According to Marie, consumers say some fashion brands are not truly inclusive because ________.
A. they pick sizes randomly B. they offer limited plus sizes
C. they treat designers disrespectfully D. they haven’t broadened standard sizes
6. For what do researchers mainly criticize some brands?
A. Their designs. B. Their quality.
C. Their motivations. D. Their advertisements.
7. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Buyers deserve fashion that respects their values.
B. Consumers prefer brands with personalized styles.
C. Brands should catch up with the size-inclusive trend.
D. A good brand image is critical in the fashion industry.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了很多品牌推出了加码衣服,却只是为了迎合尺码包容这一趋势,而并非真正的满足客户的需要。品牌如果真的想要取得成功,就需要关心消费者的价值观。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线短语后的内容“until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan (口号) that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind. (直到身体积极性和脂肪接受运动推动了这一口号,身材魁梧的人不应该被抛在后面。)”可知,新的口号的是身材魁梧的人不应该被抛诸脑后,故这些人原来一直是被忽视的。A. The hot issue that is valued有价值的热点问题;B. The obvious truth that is ignored被忽视的显而易见的事实;C. The important principle that is recognized公认的重要原则;D. The common phenomenon that is criticized被批评的常见现象。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““Inclusive sizing means that all bodies are included in fashion, not just the ones who fit in standard sizes,” says Marie Southard Ospina, a UK-based journalist who covers body-image issues. “However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.” (报道身体形象问题的英国记者Marie Southard Ospina说道:“包容性的尺码意味着所有的身体都包含在时尚内,而不是仅仅符合那些标准尺码的身体。然而,许多设计师现在所做的仅仅是选择一个他们认为足够大的尺寸。这是极其不尊重人的”。)”可知,消费者认为事实上品牌并不是真正的包容性,是因为他们只提供那些符合标准尺码的身体,而不适合所有的身体,故其提供的大码是有限的,故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中““If brands cared about large-bodied consumers, then it wouldn’t have taken until now to acknowledge that they exist,” he says. “It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.” (他说道:“如果品牌关心大码消费者,那么它就不会直到现在才承认他们的存在。这给人的印象就是,公司只是想要在市场上占有一席之地,而不是真正的对社区做出承诺。”)”可知,研究者批评一些品牌是因为一些品牌并不是真正地关心大码消费者,而只是为了在市场上占有一定的位置,迎合趋势而已,故是因为品牌的动机而批评他们,故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US. (美国商学院市场营销教授Ludovica Cesareo说道:“消费者关心价值,因此他们想要从反映他们所信仰的价值观的品牌那里购买东西。每个人都应该享受同样的时尚选择”。)”可推知,消费者在乎自己的价值观是否在品牌那里体现出来,因此买家应该得到尊重其价值观的时尚。故选A。
C
A dog spent the last four years of his life waiting at a crossroad in the Thai city of Khon Kaen as if waiting for someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.
One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the reporter decided to share the story on social media. The post soon went viral and the photos of Leo got shared hundreds of times. And the photos reached the eyes of Leo’s former old owner.
Nang Noi Sittisarn, a 64-year-old woman from Thailand’s Roi Et Province, almost had a heart attack when her daughter showed her a photo of the beloved dog named BonBon she had lost during a car trip. When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years,her heart melted(融化).
Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his name. BonBon,the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tail and came to her,but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow. She didn’ t want to force the dog to come with her so she agreed to leave him with his new master. However, she and her daughter will come to visit him regularly.
8. Why did the dog look healthy after separation from his former owner?
A. He walked around the crossroad constantly.
B. He was kept at a woman’s home all the time.
C. A local reporter brought him food and water.
D. A woman looked after him on a regular basis.
9. What does the underlined phrase “went viral” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Changed surprisingly. B. Spread quickly.
C. Appeared gradually. D. Fell directly.
10. How did Nang Noi Sittisam feel about the dog's waiting for her?
A. Shocked. B. Regretful. C. Touched. D. Proud.
11. What can we mainly learn from the story about the dog?
A. Unbelievable success is worth waiting for.
B. We should adjust ourselves to environments.
C. We need to learn to be faithful and thankful.
D. No one knows the result until the last minute
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。Nang Noi Sittisarn四年前不小心丢了一条狗。这条忠诚的狗在走丢的地方等待原主人四年,四年期间他得到了一位好心女士的悉心照料。最后Leo与原主人重聚,但是作为回报,他留下来陪伴照料他的新主人。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“... he looked healthy… but a woman had been coming around regularly to bring him food and water ”可知,那条狗看起来健康是因为一位女士定期照料他,给他带来食物。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线短语的后一句“the photos of Leo got shared hundreds of times”可知,关于Leo的帖子迅速传开,因此可推测went viral与spread quickly意思接近。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years,her heart melted(融化) ”可知,Nang Noi Sittisarn得知她的狗一直在等待她,她深受感动。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“…he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years”这条狗等待自己的主人四年,说明他对主人很忠诚;根据最后一段“but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow”可知,这条狗留下来陪伴新主人,说明他知道感恩。由此可推断,我们通过Leo的故事应该学会忠诚与感恩。故选C项。
D
In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending (修补) someone’s much-loved dress, while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Café, run by Transition Crich, a “share and repair” project, in the village of Crich.
This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “We’ve grown from just mending items to having craft activities, a café area, and stands from local groups,” says committee member Linda. Crucially, the group doesn’t charge for its services. “You don’t have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for donations to cover our costs,” says Linda.
Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Café as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. “The community in Crich have been, and continue to be, an amazing support to my family, following my cancer diagnosis (诊断),” he says. “Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.”
This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to fight against fast fashion. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world.
Whether a volunteer or event attendee, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. What does the underlined word “cognizant” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Analytical. B. Mindful. C. Curious. D. Independent.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Friends Who Mend
B. Donations That Count
C. Sharing Coffee, Enjoying Lives
D. Designing Projects, Meeting Locals
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了英国Crich村的共享修复咖啡馆(Share and Repair Café)项目。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly.(这个项目始于五年前,当时当地杂志询问是否有人有兴趣作为志愿者聚集在一起,使他们的村庄变得更加可持续和环保。)”可知,是当地杂志的志愿者呼吁激发了“共享与修复”项目的启动。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.(参与其中帮助我塑造了积极的心态,也延长了我在世上的时光。回馈社区是我至少能做的事。)”可知,参与这个活动给艾伦带来了乐观的生活态度。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world.(该组织还与一所小学合作开展环保意识项目,帮助年轻学生重建他们与自然世界的联系。)”可知,一场摄影比赛鼓励人们在留意自然的同时拍照,由此可知,“cognizant”的意思是“留心的”。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Whether a volunteer or event attendee, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of 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.(无论是志愿者还是活动参与者,社区都能从参与Transition Crich中受益匪浅。众所周知,孤独并不是社会某一特定群体的专属。像Transition Crich这样的包容性倡议之所以真正出色,是因为它们能够修补代际之间的差距,以其他方式难以实现的方式将不同年龄的人聚集在一起。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Transition Crich项目修补了代际之间的差距,让人们之间的关系更紧密,所以选项A“修补友谊”适合作为文章标题。故选A。
三、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共12.5分。
Food Technology is a vital subject but has fallen out of favour in recent years, overshadowed by “academic” subjects. ____16____ As a Food Technology teacher, I firmly believe that the time has come to reinvent it
Engaging students in Food Technology can help shape practical problem-solving skills, enabling them to make more informed choices about their diets. But Food Technology must evolve to meet the demands of the modern age. _____17_____ Instead, a modern food tech program must be reflective of current culinary (烹饪的) innovations. We need a curricula (课程) that emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients, and international cuisines.
In an era when students can show off their recipes via social media, we can also seize the opportunity to introduce technology into our food tech classes. Beyond being tools for accessing information, digital platforms have the potential to enhance our culinary instruction techniques. We can task students with developing their own meal-planning apps. ____18____
In my reimagined Food Technology classes, inclusivity would play a further crucial role. We now live in a multicultural society, where food practices vary widely. By celebrating diverse traditions, we can teach students about nutrition from a range of cultural perspectives. ____19____ It’s important that students learn to respect and celebrate the differences that food represents. Such an approach would not only help to build their understanding and empathy, but also to enrich and expand their culinary horizons and fuel their interest in trying new foods.
____20____ Who knows — we might well end up with classrooms full of future chefs, health advocates and food scientists, all eager to come up with their own solutions to the world’s culinary challenges.
A. Cooking can bridge differences.
B. Each dish tells a unique cultural story.
C. Or we can engage them in interactive cooking lessons.
D. Gone, after all, are the days of simply boiling cabbage.
E. Yet there is a growing awareness of diet-related health issues.
F. To achieve that, however, we’ll need more passionate educators.
G. Diverse local recipes are seldom mentioned in modern Food Technology
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. F
【解析】

【20题详解】
由上文“Such an approach would not only help to build their understanding and empathy, but also to enrich and expand their culinary horizons and fuel their interest in trying new foods.(这种方法不仅有助于培养他们的理解和同理心,还能丰富和拓展他们的烹饪视野,激发他们对尝试新食物的兴趣。)”及下文“Who knows — we might well end up with classrooms full of future chefs,health advocates and food scientists, all eager to come up with their own solutions to the world’s culinary challenges.(谁知道呢,我们最终可能会拥有一个满是未来厨师、健康倡导者和食品科学家的教室,他们都渴望为世界烹饪挑战提出自己的解决方案。)”可知,上文描述了通过新的教学方法可能带来的积极影响,下文则展望了这种教学方法可能培养出的未来人才,本空应说明实现这一愿景的条件。F选项“To achieve that, however, we’ll need more passionate educators.(然而,要实现这一目标,我们需要更多有激情的教育者。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选F。

Creating a New Year painting involves five core steps — sketching, engraving (雕刻), overprinting, coloring, and mounting, each of ____37____ is essential.

It is through years of careful practice ____40____ she has achieved the level of “employing the knife as skillfully as a brush”.

【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了杨柳青木版年画的独特魅力、制作工艺及其传承人张宏在非遗传承与创新方面的努力。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意:从去年的上海合作组织峰会到天津马拉松,杨柳青年画体验展位前总是排起长队。作为第七代传承人,张宏认为,其吸引力源于它独特的魅力:质朴却细腻,既易于上手体验,又方便携带回家。根据“simple(质朴)”和“delicate(细腻)”可知两者之间是转折关系,表示“简约却精致”,应用连词yet或but连接。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:创作一幅年画涉及五个核心步骤——勾描、刻版、套印、彩绘和装裱,每一个步骤都至关重要。本句为包含定语从句的复合句,修饰先行词five core steps,介词of后接关系代词,指物,应用which。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:刻版至关重要,线条的粗细和流畅度塑造了艺术品的美感。提示词与and后的fluidity并列作主语,应用名词thickness,意为“厚度,粗细”,该词为不可数名词,使用单数。
【39题详解】
考查语态。句意:然而,刻版绝不是一项可以一夜之间掌握的技能。that引导定语从句,指代先行词a skill,在从句中作主语,master(掌握)是从句的谓语动词,与主语a skill之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,情态动词can后接动词原形,所以此处用“情态动词+be done”形式的被动语态。
【40题详解】
考查强调句型。句意:正是通过多年的细心练习,她才达到了“以刀代笔,运用自如”的水平。分析句子结构可知,此处为“It is/was + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分”的强调句型,被强调部分为“through years of careful practice”,应用that连接。
【41题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:但最复杂、最耗能的步骤仍然是彩绘。根据“through years of careful practice”和定冠词the可知,此处指所有步骤中“最复杂的”,应用形容词最高级most complex作定语。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:当收到画稿时,画师首先需要研究其主题、象征意义以及人物的服饰,以精确确定要使用的颜色。提示词修饰动词determine,应用副词precisely作状语。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“有一些新事物我不理解,但我尝试并创新。”这是张宏经常重复的一句话,准确地描述了她在非物质文化遗产未来方面谦逊而开放的态度。句中已有谓语,空白处用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语“a sentence”之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,用现在分词作伴随状语。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:迄今为止,杨柳青木版年画已经呈现出令人眼花缭乱的新形式。take on(呈现)是谓语动词,根据时间状语“To date”可知,本句讲述过去发生的动作对现在的影响,应用现在完成时,主语paintings是复数名词,助动词用have。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在数字收藏领域,年画已经开辟了新天地,展示了一种通过技术赋能文化遗产的尝试。空白处在句子中作后置定语,表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作,用动词不定式。

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。
Almost all of my holidays were spent with my grandpa. My grandpa was a retired army officer and the years in the army had made him a very tough person, which helped him a lot in fighting with cancer for a long time. Silver and golden stars on his shoulders and medals on his chest in grandma’s old photo albums reflected the marks of his distinguished service and numerous adventures. Grandpa had fine qualities and was a real personality. He was strict with his family, me included, as well as himself.
In our ancestral house there was a big pond as was common in bygone Bengali homes with lots of trees and bushes. Both my grandparents were fond of our so-called garden. One morning our new neighbor saw my grandpa planting two trees on both sides of our main gate, which still stand tall today. Across the street our new neighbor also got the same kind of tree and planted the trees exactly on both sides of his gate too.
My grandpa didn’t often give enough amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give his full attention to them, while our neighbor gave a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. My grandpa’s plants were simple but looked good. But our neighbor’s plants were much fuller and greener.
Normally, during April and May, we have short but violent thunderstorms called “Kalboishakhi”. One late evening during a Kalboishakhi we had showers with strong winds, which continued right throughout that night. Next morning along with my grandparents I came out to inspect the damage to our garden. I saw our neighbor was there in his garden too, but looked upset as his plants were uprooted. But, our plants were not damaged and were standing firm on the ground.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Seeing this, our neighbor was surprised and curious.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Grandpa’s explanations not only convinced the neighbor, but made me realize something.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Seeing this, our neighbor was surprised and curious. He came up to my grandpa and asked with a touch of embarrassment, “How is this possible? I actually looked after my plants better.” My grandpa had his signature smile on and replied, “What you did spared the plants the need to work themselves hard for anything. I gave them just certain water and let their roots do the rest to search for more. And their roots went deeper, which made their position stronger. That is why they survived.”
Grandpa’s explanations not only convinced the neighbor, but made me realize something. My grandpa was strict with me on many occasions with his do’s and don’ts, and that drove me to be independent and work hard for what I wanted, which, however, I’d rarely noticed. I became aware that anything easily got can go off much more easily. Still after a rainy night when the sun is clear and bright the next morning it reminds me of my grandpa’s words. The guidance has taken root in my mind and influences me all the way.

The needs of plus-size consumers have long been the elephant in the room of the fashion industry until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind. This size-inclusive trend has become so popular that it is influencing mainstream culture. As a result, fashion brands have finally decided to extend their size ranges. In 2022, the plus-size market grew twice as fast as the standard size market in both North America and the UK.
Yet, many consumers say fashion brands broadening their ranges are not truly inclusive. “Inclusive sizing means that all bodies are included in fashion, not just the ones who fit in standard sizes,” says Marie Southard Ospina, a UK-based journalist who covers body-image issues. “However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.”
Researchers also criticize that some brands are just taking advantage of the trend. “Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn’t feel like they really care about plus-size people,” says Tom Burgess, analyst in fashion industry. “If brands cared about large-bodied consumers, then it wouldn’t have taken until now to acknowledge that they exist,” he says. “It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.”
The fashion industry must go beyond merely producing clothing in a particular range of sizes if they hope to succeed with a body-diverse world. The whole industry has to connect on a personal level with consumers. That involves showing shoppers that they are seen, understood and important to brands. “Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US.
4. What do the underlined words “the elephant in the room” mean in the first paragraph?
A. The hot issue that is valued. B. The obvious truth that is ignored.
C. The important principle that is recognized. D. The common phenomenon that is criticized.
5. According to Marie, consumers say some fashion brands are not truly inclusive because ________.
A. they pick sizes randomly B. they offer limited plus sizes
C. they treat designers disrespectfully D. they haven’t broadened standard sizes
6. For what do researchers mainly criticize some brands?
A. Their designs. B. Their quality.
C. Their motivations. D. Their advertisements.
7. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Buyers deserve fashion that respects their values.
B. Consumers prefer brands with personalized styles.
C. Brands should catch up with the size-inclusive trend.
D. A good brand image is critical in the fashion industry.

A dog spent the last four years of his life waiting at a crossroad in the Thai city of Khon Kaen as if waiting for someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.
One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food.

BonBon,the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tail and came to her,but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow. She didn’ t want to force the dog to come with her so she agreed to leave him with his new master. However, she and her daughter will come to visit him regularly.

In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending (修补) someone’s much-loved dress, while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Café, run by Transition Crich, a “share and repair” project, in the village of Crich.
This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “We’ve grown from just mending items to having craft activities, a café area, and stands from local groups,” says committee member Linda. Crucially, the group doesn’t charge for its services. “You don’t have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for donations to cover our costs,” says Linda.
Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Café as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. “The community in Crich have been, and continue to be, an amazing support to my family, following my cancer diagnosis (诊断),” he says. “Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.”
This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to fight against fast fashion. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world.
Whether a volunteer or event attendee, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn’t reserved for one particular group of 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.

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。
Almost all of my holidays were spent with my grandpa. My grandpa was a retired army officer and the years in the army had made him a very tough person, which helped him a lot in fighting with cancer for a long time. Silver and golden stars on his shoulders and medals on his chest in grandma’s old photo albums reflected the marks of his distinguished service and numerous adventures. Grandpa had fine qualities and was a real personality. He was strict with his family, me included, as well as himself.
In our ancestral house there was a big pond as was common in bygone Bengali homes with lots of trees and bushes. Both my grandparents were fond of our so-called garden. One morning our new neighbor saw my grandpa planting two trees on both sides of our main gate, which still stand tall today. Across the street our new neighbor also got the same kind of tree and planted the trees exactly on both sides of his gate too.
My grandpa didn’t often give enough amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give his full attention to them, while our neighbor gave a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. My grandpa’s plants were simple but looked good. But our neighbor’s plants were much fuller and greener.
Normally, during April and May, we have short but violent thunderstorms called “Kalboishakhi”. One late evening during a Kalboishakhi we had showers with strong winds, which continued right throughout that night. Next morning along with my grandparents I came out to inspect the damage to our garden. I saw our neighbor was there in his garden too, but looked upset as his plants were uprooted. But, our plants were not damaged and were standing firm on the ground.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Seeing this, our neighbor was surprised and curious.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Grandpa’s explanations not only convinced the neighbor, but made me realize something.
