Not long ago, my daughter's favourite leather shoes were cut by a knife. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them 1 .
A young man took a look quickly and said,“I have to change the uppers (鞋帮).” His master said,“I will add more cuts for special 2 .”
I didn't fully understand him, but I decided to 3 the shoes in this shop.
Two days later, I went there. At first sightI found there were five or six 4 on each shoe, but all of them were covered by soft red leather and the leather was sewed(缝) with thick thread(线). The shoes looked more 5 and interesting than ever. I couldn't stop praising(赞扬) the master for his 6 .
Another time, my wife's blouse had an opening on the back. My wife said, “I’ ll repair it myself.”
Three days went past, and I was very 7 to see it again: the cut was sewed up by thin and white thread and it looked like the ice crystal (晶体). She 8 made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. Isaid with praise, “It's just as beautiful as a piece of art.”
“I learned from the master. We can 9 patches(补丁) to make them look perfect(完美的),” answered my wife.
Her words taught me even more. Perfection is 10 to get in everything; patches are often seen; so is human life. Why not cover the cut with patches and make a most beautiful flower?

Ⅱ.阅读理解(每小题2分,共16分)
A
Jaxon Porter, 11, is the happiest when he is behind the wheel. He's too young to be a real driver, so he drives go-karts(卡丁车).“I just love going fast,” Jaxon says excitedly.“When I get into that car, I just go as fast as I can.”
Jaxon started racing at 5. “I'm still learning,” he says. But he grew up in a go-kart.He feels like a real driver.“I’ ll be an IndyCar driver one day,” he says.
For Jaxon, it began with just some small races in Phoenix, Arizona. When he was 8, he joined bigger competitions in places like Indiana.Two years ago, in 2023, he joined a race in Florida and won a prize for the first time. He got a sponsor(赞助商) last month: the supermarket chain Hy-Vee. It helps pay the tens of thousands of dollars necessary to maintain(维护) the car and travel the country for competitions.
For many go-karters, racing runs in the family. Maybe an older brother is a race car driver.Maybe Dad raced when he was a kid.Families spend a few days of every month at events.They travel far away to join different competitions.Many drivers study at home.That gives them time to practise racing.
“It's a sacrifice(牺牲)for the whole family,”Elysia Porter says.She's Jaxon's mum.“But we want him to do what he loves,”she adds.
11.What does the underlined phrase“behind the wheel”in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Driving. B. Walking.
C. Speaking. D. Reading.
12.Which is the CORRECT time order of the following events?
①Jaxon won a prize in Florida.
②Jaxon started racing go-karts.
③Jaxon got a sponsor from a supermarket.
④Jaxon competed in Indiana.
A.②①③④ B.②④①③
C.③①④② D.③④②①
13. What can we learn about go-karters according to Paragraph 4?
A.They have no time to study at home.
B.They can go to school to practise racing.
C.They only join races near their homes.
D.They might be from a racing car family.
14. In which part of a magazine can this passage be found?
A. Science. B. Travel. C. Sports. D. Art.
B
Fresh green grass.Hundreds of colourful wild flowers.Water running into little pools.Birds making their homes in boxes.The 9,500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park but there's a difference.It lies on the roofs(屋顶)of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.
Green roofs are not a new invention.And now they are getting popular again.The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water.Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.
Green roofs are not just pretty.They also help to moderate the city temperature.The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot.What is more,they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them,causing the“urban heat-island effect”.On a green roof,however,with its plants and water,temperatures change only a little,as they do in a park.This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.
Also,a green roof takes in rain water,and protects the city drainage(排水) system. And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this,the city may become part of nature,rather than something completely separate from it.
While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher,it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings.And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic,whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?
15. With the example of Augustenborg BotanicalGarden,the writer wants to explain .
A.how wildlife is protected
B.what to do with a spare roof
C.how to organize a good park
D.what a green roof is like
16. The underlined word“moderate” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to“ ”.
A. raise B. control
C. record D. check
17. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?
A. A green roof is alive.
B. A green roof stops pollution.
C. A common roof is noisy.
D. A common roof increases the cost.
18. The purpose of the passage is to .
A. discover the problems with green roofs
B. introduce the change of green roofs
C. describe the advantages of green roofs
D. show the amazing beauty of green roofs
