These are volunteer-run events where people bring broken items, such as furniture, electronics or clothing, and work with repair experts to fix them. The concept originated in the Netherlands in 2009 and has since spread to many countries. One of the main goals of repair cafes is to reduce waste. By repairing items instead of throwing them away, people can help protect the environment. Repairing also saves money and preserves the value of well-made products. Volunteers at repair cafes often have specialized skills, but they are also happy to teach others how to do repairs. Repair cafes also foster a sense of community. They provide a space where people can meet, share knowledge and help each other. Participants often leave not only with their repaired items but also with new friendships and a sense of accomplishment. However, repair cafes face some challenges. Finding enough volunteers with the right skills can be difficult. There are also concerns about liability — what if a repaired item causes injury? Despite these challenges, the repair cafe movement continues to grow, driven by a shared desire for sustainability and community connection. ( ) 36. What is a repair cafe? A.

B Upcycling is a creative way of reusing materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Unlike recycling, which breaks materials down to make new products, upcycling involves transforming waste materials into something of higher quality or value. For example, an old wooden pallet can be upcycled into a stylish coffee table, or glass jars can be turned into decorative vases. Upcycling has several environmental benefits. By giving new life to items that would otherwise end up in landfills, upcycling reduces waste and conserves resources. It also reduces the demand for new raw materials, which helps lower carbon emissions and energy consumption. Upcycling encourages creativity and innovation, as it requires thinking outside the box. In addition to environmental benefits, upcycling can also have financial advantages. Making something new from used materials is often cheaper than buying a new product. Upcycling can also be a rewarding hobby that allows people to express their personal style and creativity. However, upcycling is not without its challenges. It can be time-consuming and may require specialized tools or skills. Some people also worry that upcycled items may not be as durable as new ones. Despite these challenges, many people are embracing upcycling as a way to live more sustainably and creatively. ( ) 41. What is the difference between upcycling and recycling? A. Recycling is better for the environment.B. Upcycling transforms materials into something of higher value.C. Recycling is more creative.D. Upcycling breaks materials down. ( ) 42.

C In many schools, students are increasingly taking part in hands-on learning experiences. These experiences go beyond traditional textbook learning and allow students to apply their knowledge in practical ways. One popular approach is the maker movement, which encourages students to design, build and create things using a variety of materials and tools. Maker spaces are dedicated areas in schools where students can work on projects. They are equipped with tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, electronics and craft supplies. In these spaces, students learn by doing, experimenting and often making mistakes. The process encourages critical thinking, collaboration and creativity. Research has shown that hands-on learning can improve student engagement and academic outcomes. When students see the real-world applications of what they are learning, they are more likely to be motivated and interested. Hands-on projects also help students develop problem-solving skills and resilience. Despite the benefits, implementing maker spaces can be challenging. They require funding, materials and trained teachers. Some educators also worry about the safety of certain tools. However, many schools are finding that the benefits of hands-on learning outweigh the challenges. As one principal put it, “We are preparing students for jobs that don’t exist yet. We need to teach them how to think, not what to think.” ( ) 46. What is the maker movement in education? A. A movement to ban textbooks in schools.B. An approach that encourages students to design and create things.C. A new subject in the curriculum.D. A movement to reduce the use of technology in schools. ( ) 47. What are maker spaces equipped with? A. Only traditional tools like hammers and saws.B. Tools like 3D printers, laser cutters and electronics.C. Only computers and software.D. Only art supplies. ( ) 48. What is a benefit of hands-on learning? A. It reduces the need for teachers.B. It improves student engagement and academic outcomes.C. It is easier than traditional learning.D. It requires fewer resources. ( ) 49. What challenge is mentioned about implementing maker spaces? A. They are not popular with students.B. They require funding, materials and trained teachers.C. They are too small.D. They are not safe. ( ) 50. What does the principal’s comment suggest? A. Students should focus on memorizing facts.B. Students need to learn how to think creatively.C. Students don’t need to learn practical skills.D. Students should only study for exams. D The art of woodworking has been practiced for thousands of years. Today, woodworking remains a popular hobby and profession, offering a wide range of creative possibilities. Whether you are building furniture, carving sculptures or crafting small items, woodworking requires a combination of technical skill, patience and creativity.

Wearing protective equipment and following safety guidelines is essential to prevent injuries. Many woodworkers find the craft deeply satisfying.

It is a great way to attract birds to your garden and provide them with a safe nesting place. Here is a simple guide to building your own birdhouse. Materials you will need: · One piece of untreated wood (about 1 inch thick and 6 feet long) · Saw (hand saw or electric saw) · Hammer and nails (or screws) · Sandpaper (medium and fine grit) · Wood glue · Paint or wood stain (optional) Instructions: 1. Cut the wood into six pieces: a base, a roof, four side walls (two larger for the front and back, two smaller for the sides). The front piece should have a hole about 1.5 inches in diameter for the birds to enter. 2. Sand all the pieces to smooth rough edges. Be sure to sand the edges of the entrance hole well to prevent injury to birds. 3. Assemble the box. Use wood glue and nails to attach the sides, front and back to the base. Make sure the entrance is at the correct height. 4. Attach the roof. Leave a slight overhang to protect the entrance from rain. 5. If you wish, paint or stain the birdhouse. Use non-toxic paints only. Leave the inside unpainted so it is safe for birds. 6. Attach a hook or loop to the back for hanging. Place the birdhouse in a quiet, sheltered spot away from predators. 74. What is the first step in building the birdhouse? 75. Why is it important to sand the entrance hole well? 76. What should you use to attach the sides, front and back to the base? 77. Why should you leave the inside of the birdhouse unpainted? 78. Where should you place the finished birdhouse? 八、书面表达(共10分) 以 “My DIY Experience” 为题，写一篇短文，内容需包含： · 描述一次你DIY的经历(你做了什么、为什么做)； · 你在过程中遇到的挑战和如何克服它们； · 你从这次经历中学到了什么，以及你的感受。 要求： · 词数80词左右，可适当发挥； · 语句通顺，书写规范； · 文中不得出现真实的人名和校名。 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— 参考答案 一、单项选择(1-10) 1.

I wanted to give her something personal and meaningful. I found some wooden sticks and paint in the garage. I cut the sticks into the right lengths and glued them together to form a frame. However, the corners didn’t fit perfectly. I had to sand them down and re-glue them. Painting was also tricky — I made a few messy strokes. But I patiently painted over them and added some flower patterns. The frame turned out beautifully. My mother loved it and hung it in the living room. I learned that DIY requires patience and creativity. It also made me feel proud to create something with my own hands. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
