I have had a lifelong passion for sewing (缝, 做针线活). When I was 7, my mother showed me how to stitch
with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime (休闲活动) when it was too cold and snowy to play outside.
As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d
sit at the old sewing machine for hours.
In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes. I began to buy used clothes to upcycle
(升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops (旧货店). This pursuit wasn’t just
about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing.
About 10 years ago, when I was ripping out the silk lining (内衬) from a beautiful long blue evening dress, I
stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the scams (接缝). I pulled
out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung
gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was holding a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in
her early 20s. This moment was an awakening for me; it connected me to the unknown histories of the clothes I worked
with.
Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner
party? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty. I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom,
you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill (垃圾填
埋场), and you’re creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus (意外收获) if you find objects in the pockets. The clothes
are talking to you!” Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a
means of preserving stories and preventing waste.
I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery and the many others I’ve found over the years by displaying
them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes
even more. And this evolution in my sewing practice has not only enhanced my appreciation for the art of upcycling buthas also deepened my connection to the past, making each stitch a bridge between generations.
24．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A．The author’s deep interest in design. B．The author’s mom’s influence on her.
C．The author’s growing love for sewing. D．The author’s preference for used clothes.
25．Why does the author recycle old clothes?
A．To earn lots of money. B．To follow fashion trends.
C．To learn new sewing techniques. D．To preserve stories and reduce waste.
26．How did the author feel after finding the photo in the dress?
A．Excited. B．Ashamed. C．Confused. D．Surprised.
27．How did the daughter’s opinion affect the author?
A．It made her feel guilty. B．It led her to take sewing classes.
C．It caused her to give up on sewing D．It made her appreciate her upcycling more.
C
You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvaev doesn’t think
that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created
Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was
driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I
thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞篷) built into a street lamp.” he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking streetlamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor
which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians
shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass streetlamp which detects
whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the
pedestrians (行人). Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would
offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed (安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for
the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belvaev says he recently introduced his creation
to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there
are no canopies to provide shelter.
28．Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?
A．motor →canopy →sensors.
B．motor →sensors →canopy.
C．canopy →motor →sensors.
D．sensors →motor →canopy.
29．Why did Mikhail Belvaev create Lampbrella?
A．To protect people from the rain.
B．To predict a heavy rain.
C．To introduce a lamp post with its own rain- sensing umbrella.D．To gain profits for himself.
30．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?
A．Its installation. B．Its moving speed. C．Its safety. D．Its appearance.
31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The designer will open a company to promote his product.
B．The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
C．The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
D．The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

Lots of people love to indulgein biscuits with their tea, but those with diabetes need to watch out for sweet treats.
Diabetes is a metabolic (代谢的) disease. If a patient’s blood sugar is not well controlled, serious problems can
occur. A patient may experience dizziness and fatigue, but also have kidney failure, blindness and heart disease,
according to Medical News Today.
But new research may make it possible to “treat diabetes by eating biscuits”. Researchers from Peking University
and East China Normal University successfully developed a new cell using synthetic (合成的) biology technology.
Their study was published in Nature Chemical Biology in November.
In their research, diabetic mice implanted with the cells can increase insulin (胰岛素) levels and lower blood
sugar as long as they eat specific amino acid (氨基酸) biscuits. It only takes 90 minutes for the mice to reduce their
blood sugar, which is equivalent to the time after an insulin injection (注射), Liu Tao, one of the authors, told Science
and Technology Daily.
This kind of biscuit does not directly lower blood sugar levels, but is a “key” to insulin. The special amino acids
in the biscuits help to start the insulin translation process. The end result is controlled blood sugar, according to Ye
Haifeng, one of the authors.
“This unnatural amino acid is similar to the ingredients added in many health drinks and is very friendly to the
human body,” Liu told Science and Technology Daily. Maybe one day, people will need to take artificial amino acids
before meals, or eat foods containing artificial amino acids suitable for diabetics, so they can control their blood sugar.
Although scientists in synthetic biology have paved the way for possible future treatments, their findings won’t
be ready for patients anytime soon. “Synthetic biology is still an early-stage discipline (学科) in regard to the traditional
diabetes therapeutic (治疗的) development timeline, with most technologies currently in the preclinical stages in the
lab,” Ira Pastor, CEO of the life sciences company Bioquark, told US News.
32．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Why diabetes is a metabolic disease.
B．Dangerous problems caused by diabetes.
C．Blood sugar’s effects on the metabolic system.
D．Diseases that can affect blood sugar.
33．How did the blood sugar of the diabetic mice decrease in the study?
A．Scientists implanted cells that can directly lower blood sugar.
B．Scientists gave them biscuits with less sugar.
C．The implanted cells and the specific amino acids increased insulin.D．The amino acid biscuits they ate contained insulin.
34．How does the special amino acid work?
A．It transforms blood sugar into an acid.
B．It helps start the insulin translation process.
C．It clears ingredients unfriendly to the human body.
D．It allows the injected insulin to work better.
35．Which of the following would Ira Pastor agree with?
A．Synthetic biology proves the most effective solution to diabetes.
B．Synthetic biology is developing quickly at present.
C．There remains a long way for this therapy to enter hospitals.
D．Many traditional therapeutic diabetes technologies are still in the lab.

Sometimes it can feel like your head is too cluttered. With work, school, or a busy schedule, things are bound to
get jumbled (乱糟糟的) every once and a while! 3 6 From focusing to journaling, we’ll teach you how to
mindfully distract yourself from worrying thoughts.
Focus on the present moment. Practice mindfulness daily to help clear your mind and be more focused.
Mindfulness is all about letting all other thoughts come and go. Observe your thoughts and feelings without judgement,
as if you’re an outsider in your own mind. 3 7
Take a walk. 3 8 When you’re being mindful, you’re fully engaging in the present moment, letting
feelings come and go as you focus on what’s in front of you. Combining this state of mind with walking produces an
extra special stress reliever that improves mental and physical health. Try scheduling a walk around the block, on the
treadmill, or through a local park every day.
3 9 Take a moment to breathe and come back to the present moment. Life can easily become go, go, go,
and in the process, you can easily forget to breathe. Settling down wherever you are to take controlled breaths can calm
your racing mind and heartbeat, helping you feel more relaxed.
Journal your thoughts. Writing down your worries can help you sort through them. Try reaching for a notebook
or phone when a million thoughts are racing through your mind. 4 0 Journaling can help you be more aware of
your emotions and reflect on what’s troubling you.
A．Do deep breathing exercises.
B．Take a moment to slow down.
C．Moving your body mindfully can help things seem clearer.
D．But you can do something to clear your mind and calm things down.
E．Set down everything that comes to mind, letting all pour out onto the page.
F．Then let those thoughts and feelings go and focus on what you’re currently doing instead.
G．Here are some tips on how to protect your head from brain injury and then start your work.第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get
home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was
freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I
stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car
somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror,
wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of
cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just
a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me.
Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind.
How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold
and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no
one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was
running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over
the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily. 注意：

67．The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up? young man!” asked the driver. “I
have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire.
“Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of
warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set
to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless
help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand.
The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and
soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing
when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still
sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night.
Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring
me to reach out to those in need.
