Back in her twenties,Linda Park was all about fashion.But she also started noticing
something disturbing:the fashion industry was seriously hurting the environment.As she
worked as a designer,she was snocked by the mountains of unsold clothes,fabrics that
would hang around for decades,and the harmful dyes (dumping into rivers.It hit
her-if she was going to make a real difference,she'd have to roll up her sleeves and
tackle fashion's waste problem herself.
Every year,millions of tons of clothing are thrown aside,with almost half of it ending
up in landfills.And here's the kicker:most of it barely gets worn before it's thrown away,
thanks to the endless cycle of fast fashion.Park thought,"I can do better than this."So,
she pictured a new kind of store-one that wouldn't just reduce waste but would also
inspire people to make smarter,greener choices.
In September 2020,Park launched GreenThread-her sustainable fashion dream
came true.The store's special touch?It sold upcycled clothing and fabric made from waste
materials.Customers could bring in their old clothes and trade them for store credit,
giving the items a second life.GreenThread's clothes were a mix of repurposed fabrics
and eco-friendly dyes,proving that sustainable fashion can be stylish.
Now,GreenThread's clothes aren't exactly cheap.A T-shirt might cost $25,while the
same one at a regular store could be $15.But here's the deal:people love the quality,the
durability,and the fact that they're supporting an eco-friendly brand.It feels good to be
part of the solution,right?
When the pandemic hit,it wasn't smooth sailing.But Park wasn't ready to call it quits.
She switched to an online model and started offering virtual style consultations.The
response was awesome,and Green Thread's fan base grew as more people realized the
benefits of shopping sustainably.
Park says the mission of her store goes beyond just selling clothes."Each piece has its
own story,"she smiles."Customers can see how many lives a fabric has lived.It's not just
fashion;it's a movement."
34.
inspired Linda Park to start her business.
A.A desire to promote eco-friendly dyes
B.The high demand for recycled clothing
C.The waste generated by the fashion industry
D.Her background in sustainable design
35.Which of the following best describes Park's attitude towards her business?
A.Optimistic and practical.
B.Carefree and relaxed.
C.Focused and cautious.
D.Creative and determined
36.According to the last paragrapn,what do customers appreciate about Green Thread?
A.The unique story and mission behind each piece.
B.The emotional satisfaction of owning a unique piece.
C.The chance to see the previous prices of the fabric.
D.The ability to trace the environmental impact of the material.

Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame,we often do everything
possible to avoid it."We're taught from our earliest days that if you quit something,it
means you're a failure,"says the psychologist Will Meek.He,however,suggests we view
quitting differently.
Ouitting is like deciding to rearrange a room:you've grown comfortable with the
status,and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary.
And yet,there's the upsetting feeling that you're no longer entirely satisfied with your
current circumstances,perhaps even that you've stopped making progress.While it's not
out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit,leaving a position,
project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities,making you feel inspired and
renewed.
Ouitting,often happens in situations where we're unhappy,fearful or have determined
we have no other choice,factors that can have ill effects on our health.Perhaps you find
your work unfulfilling,or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready-and,
as a result,you're operating under intense pressure."If stress is enduring and not managed
well,it can start to take a toll,"says Meek.According to the American Psychological
Association,long-term,ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and
heart attack,so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical
and emotional health benefits."We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(
激激素皮质醇),which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,,”
says Dr Alex Lickerman,a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.
Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to
explore where your heart is truly leading you.In a study that was published in 1999,then
Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles
that required new skill sets-someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers,for
instance,was asked to take on personal interactions.Subjects(研究对象)were especially
drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through 'imitation strategies'-an
approach they compared to 'trying on different clothes.Mark Franklin,the president of
CareerCycles,suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires
might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self."Pretend to be a certain
kind of person,or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,"he says."Try it
on,see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you."It may not feel like it at the time,
but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track.
37.It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being both
A.guilty and ashamed.
B.stupid and enthusiastic.
C.troubled and hopeful.
D.inspired and determined.
38.The phrase"take a toll"(paragraph 3)can be best replaced by"
A.develop mental adaptability.
B.bring about changes.
C.keep up the pressure.
D.have a bad effect.
39.An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to 'trying on different clothes'is for
A.helping people find what truly suits them in career.
B.telling capable employees from inadequate ones.
C.training employees to acquire different working skills.
D.providing people with opportunities to have a role play.
40.It can be concluded from the passage that
A.quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to follow.
B.personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressure.
C.mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol.
D.knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happen.

The facts of climate change are widely reported.It is noted that with a 2C increase in
global temperatures,as compared with a 1.5C increase,about 61 million more people
living in urban areas around the world will be exposed to severe drought.
The problem with communicating these numbers,however,is that math anxiety-the
6
experience of tension,fear or worry when facing mathematical problems-and the
inability to understand and employ numerical concepts-are both quite common.
Despite high rates of innumeracy(数学盲),there are reasons to think that people may
not disengage when they receive numbers.First,multiple past studies show that people
often prefer getting numerical details over vague description or purely verbal
communication.People also trust messages provided by medical professionals or
journalists more when that communication includes numbers than when it does not.The
use of specific numbers signals expertise to readers.
But trade-offs exist.Given people's anxiety about math and level of mathematical
ability,there is an upper limit when communicating these kinds of details.In past research,
it was found that people find numbers helpful,so long as there aren't too many of them.
No hard-and-fast rule suggests how many is too many-it depends on the complexity of the
topic,people's familiarity with the subject and their overall numeracy.Communicators
therefore need to know and attend to their audience:if a speaker sees someone looking
bored,for example,it's a sign to back off on the numbers.
In addition to the possibility of being overloaded by numbers,their persuasive power
could have consequences that communicators need to consider.Based on the most recent
findings,more negative feelings about the posts containing numeric consequences of
climate change are reported.To be clear,this doesn't reflect math anxiety.Instead,these
posts resulted in negative emotions because the numerically precise messages were
stronger in conveying the disastrous consequences of climate change.If you can suggest
actions that people feel they can carry through,that could set off the negative feelings that
arise when they consider climate change's consequences.
So whether you're an environmentalist seeking to communicate more effectively over
social media or looking for strategies to persuade family over the dinner table,there are a
few lessons here.Find the key numerical data and share that.Think strategically about
data presentation.When talking about climate change,include some proposed action.
Given that past work suggests that sharing numbers builds trust,your readers or listeners
may be more likely to follow your recommendations.When used wisely,numbers can
help transform anxiety into action,which could help turn the tide in our fight against
climate change.
41.According to the passage,what can numbers do when they are used to illustrate
climate change?
A.They can arouse people's anxiety about math.
B.They leave the audience even more confused.
C.They help make the message more credible.
D.They don't really change how people feel.

42.Which of the following best fits the description of"trade-offs"(paragraph 4)?
A.Numbers cause difficulties in understanding the matter.
B.People find the subject being talked about unfamiliar.
C.It takes time to confirm the precision of all numbers
D.People tend to hold more debates about the topic
43.According to the passage,which of the following is an effective climate message?
A.Sea level rise:a ticking time bomb for coastal cities!
B.Cycle 5 miles daily,save 50%on carbon emissions!
C.50%of species lost:a warning from climate change!
D.Plant more trees today,enjoy fresher air tomorrow!
44.What is the best title for this passage?
A.Numbers:Origin of tension about climate change.
B.Numbers:Reason for high levels of math anxiety.
C.Numbers:Cause of boredom in public speaking.
D.Numbers:Aid in fighting environmental issues.

When you spend time with close friends,how do you feel?You may feel like you
belong.According to the Oxford dictionary,belonging is defined as a "deep sense of
acceptance,inclusion,and identification within a group,place,or context."45
Since the beginning of human evolution,people have connected with others in order
to survive.This desire to form and grow relationships is rooted in the human brain.
46 In 1943,Abraham Maslow was the first psychologist to write about
belonging as a human need.His theory,the Hierarchy (of Needs,states that humans
must acquire their basic needs,.such as physiological(生理上的)needs and needs related
to safety,before they can begin fulfilling other higher,more complex needs,like
belonging or developing self-esteem.
Another groundbreaking research about belonging emerged in 1995.Mark Leary and
Roy Baumeister found that humans have a universal drive to belong,which motivates
their thoughts and actions.In fact,this drive is so important that they argued it was a
fundamental human need-not a secondary need in a hierarchy.Their later research
explored the connection between self-esteem and belonging.According to their research,
self-esteem is not just about how people feel about themselves internally.47
Although feeling connected to people is important in many settings,it becomes
especially critical in schools.A 2020 research analysis found that students who do not feel
a sense of belonging at school are often searching for threats in their environment that
signal whether they are welcome or not.48 This,in turn,can cause poorer
academic performance.It can also discourage students from forming deeper relationships.
So,a student's feeling of belonging is vital for their learning.
49 Researchers will continue to analyze how personality,culture,and even
social media shape how connected we feel to others.With this knowledge,people can
create schools and communities where more people feel included.That way,we can
develop a society that is overall healthier,happier,and more connected.
A.Tney may do things to increase their self-esteem.
B.This stress can use up cognitive resources needed for learning.
C.Belonging is a complex thing because it is influenced by many factors.
D.Over the years,researchers nave been exploring this subjective feeling
E.Feeling like you belong can actually improve many aspects of your life
F.It actually serves as a warning signal that measures how much people feel accepted.
G.When you see yourselt well suited to a specific environment,you feel valued and
respected.
第三部分书面表达(共两节,共32分)
第一节阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。(第50、51题各2分,第52
题3分,第53题5分,共12分)
We all love to criticize,but unfortunately,we also hate being criticized.We freely
post and comment on others,but feel annoyed at the way others assess us,both online and
in person.The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon.Fortunately,though,each of
us can change how we give and take criticism,which,will make us less likely to harm
others,more resistant to being angry,and better able to benefit from feedback-even
when it is negative.
Criticism is defined as judgment of the merits (and faults of something or
someone in written or spoken form.Technically,criticism can include praise,but that isn't
what concerns us here.What annoys us is criticism of the negative variety,even when
well-intentioned-so-called constructive criticism,which means to provide guidance so
we can improve.Worst of all is destructive criticism,which aims to cause hurt or damage.
The culture of criticism isn't going away.The only way to flourish (in it,and
despite it,is to adopt new habits of getting and giving critical feedback.One rule is to
assume that criticism,even when it seems personal,is not actually about you personally.
When we receive criticism,we make it personal in two ways.First,we may naturally
analyze the critic rather than the criticism.Second,we tend to consider the criticism a
judgment on our natural abilities,rather than on our performance.Interestingly,even
among young children,research shows that viewing criticism as a judgment on one's
abilities can lead to lower self-worth,lower positive mood,and less persistence at tasks.
If taking criticism is particularly hard for you,you are not alone.However,taking
criticism badly is more embarrassing,ultimately,than the criticism itself.If we do the
work to learn to accept negative feedback,we will be much better off.
50.What will be the results of changing the way we give and take criticism?
51.What is the difference between constructive and destructive criticism?
52.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and
explain why.
Children who receive criticism have lower self-worth because they take criticism as
a judgment on their performance.
53.What benefit(s)would you gain from learning to accept negative feedback?(In about
40 words)
