The Rise of Retro Fashion
Do you care about what you wear? Some people are very fashion-conscious, carefully selecting the clothes they
buy and how they dress. Fashionistas (时尚达人) always want to be seen in the latest designer gear. But that trend is
changing as retro or vintage clothing is becoming a popular and often cheaper ____31____.
Of course, “vintage” clothing is really second-hand clothing, worn before but given a second life. The fashion
industry has rebranded this stuff to make it look ____32____ and possibly give it a higher price tag. Whereas we may
have seen an old faded pair of jeans or a dress with a flower ____33____ sold at a jumble sale (旧货拍卖会), now
we are ____34____ with boutique and pop-up shops dedicated to the stuff. And in the UK, one supermarket chain
has started selling second-hand clothes in some of its stores. According to managing director Steve Lynam, the more
people invest in the circular economy and shop vintage, the bigger ____35____ we will have on climate change.
Certainly, buying vintage puts ____36____ on extending the life of clothing. It cuts down on waste and helps
to reduce the environmental damage caused by manufacturing new clothes. It’s also led to the rise of retro-fashion-
items that your mum or dad wore decades ago that now look ____37____ cool again! It’s a big thing with younger
people and has been helped by the rise of platforms like Depop and Vinted, which sell “worn” clothes online. As
lanina Lucca, Senior Vice President at Depop explained: “The new ____38____ is looking to make choices that
reduce their impact on the environment, with 77% of Gen Z saying that their biggest environmental ____39____
being that they want their choices to reduce waste.”
Another popular way of buying old clothes is in a vintage kilo sale. People pick what they want and then pay
according to _____40_____ rather than per item. Some items are upcycled — re-modelled or re-worked by adding
embroidery, patches and other additions. However, these second-hand clothes are worn or re-designed, the
sustainability of vintage fashion means it’s here to stay for some time to come.

If you survey American parents about what they want for their kids, more than 90 percent say one of their top
priorities is that their children be caring. This makes sense: Kindness and concern for others are held as ____41____
in nearly every society. But when you ask children what their parents ____42____ for them, 81 percent say their
parents value achievement and happiness over caring.
Kids learn what’s important to adults not by listening to what we say, but by ____43____ what gets our attention.
And in many developed societies, parents now pay more attention to individual achievement and happiness than
anything else. However much we ____44____ kindness and caring, we’re not actually showing our kids that we value
these traits (特点).
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, then, that kindness appears to be ____45____. An analysis of annual surveys
of American college students showed a substantial drop from 1979 to 2009 in imagining the ____46____ of others.
It’s not just that people care less; they seem to be ____47____ less, too. In one experiment, a sociologist left
behind thousands of what appeared to be lost letters in dozens of American cities in 2001, and again in 2011. From
the first round to the second one, the proportion of letters that was ____48____ by helpful passersby and put in a
mailbox declined by 10 percent. Psychologists find that kids born after 1995 are just as likely as their parents to
____49____ that other people experiencing difficulty should be helped — but they feel less personal responsibility
to take action themselves. _____50_____, they are less likely to donate to charity, or even to express an interest in
doing so.
If we truly care less about one another, some of the blame lies with the values parents have _____51_____. In
our own lives, we’ve observed many fellow parents becoming so focused on achievement that they fail to cultivate
kindness. They seem to regard their children’s successes as a personal badge (徽章) of honor and their children’s
failures as a(n) _____52_____ reflection on their own parenting.
Other parents unconsciously _____53_____ kindness, seeing it as a source of weakness in a fiercely competitive
world. But there’s no reason parents can’t teach their kids to care about others and themselves — to be both
_____54_____ and self-respecting. If you encourage children to consider the needs and feelings of others, sometimes
they will and sometimes they won’t. But they’ll soon learn that if you don’t _____55_____ others considerately, they
may not be considerate toward you. And those around you will be less likely to be considerate of one another, too.

Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
When it comes to money, the world’s luckiest woman appears to be a 63-year-old American called Joan Ginther.
She has managed to win the jackpot (头奖) four times. In total she has won over $20 million! Experts say that the
chances of winning this much are extremely small.
Mrs. Ginther’s first win was in 1993 when she won half of the $11 million first prize of the Texas Lottery. The
rest of her money has come from scratch cards. You scratch these cards to reveal if you have a winning code. They
are very popular, but not many people who buy them win anything. However, Mrs. Ginther won $2 million from a
Holiday Millionaire scratch card in 2006 and then she won another $3 million from a Millions and Millions scratch
card in 2008. So, she is perhaps as lucky with cards as with the lottery. She bought the card from the Times Market
in Bishop, Texas, the local farming community where she used to live.
As a result of these wins, the Times Market in Bishop where Mrs. Ginther bought her card has become very
popular. There are often long queues outside the shop and along the road nearby. The shop also receives calls from
people trying to purchase scratch cards over the phone, even though this is illegal.
However, not much is known about Mrs. Ginther. Obviously, her private life is very important to her. Even her
neighbours have very little to say about her. Her answering machine says ‘Please do not leave a message’. She is
now rarely seen in Bishop because she moved away and she now lives in Las Vegas.
Sun Bae, the owner of Times Market, remembers that Mrs. Ginther bought a new car for one of the town
第 8 页 共 14 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
residents, even though she herself drives around in an old car. Apparently, she also bought a van for the church. And
when she bought her new home in Las Vegas, she donated her old home in Bishop to charity. “She’s helped so many
people,” Mrs. Bae said.
56. According to the passage, what is the most unusual thing concerning Mrs. Ginther?
A. She was luckier with scratch cards than with the lottery.
B. She bought the lottery and the scratch cards at the same place.
C. She won a large sum of money from the lottery and scratch cards.
D. She moved away from where she used to live after she won the money.
57. What can be learned from the passage about Mrs. Ginther?
A. She keeps herself to herself. B. She is a good friend of Sun Bae’s.
C. She buys scratch cards over the phone. D. She doesn’t have an answering machine.
58. The last paragraph is intended to .
A. show that Mrs. Ginther was generous
B. introduce the owner of Times Market
C. describe several possible ways to help others
D. stress how much people in Bishop miss Mrs. Ginther
59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. A Winning Code B. A Lucky Lady C. Lottery Prizes D. Unusual Wins

(C)
I wanted the pleasure of being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was so large that it contained many
untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to
call the bush, and to wander around. There I had lived and worked, happily, almost forty years ago, in the heart of
the greenest continent.
In those old undramatic days of my school teaching in the bundu, folks lived their lives on bush paths at the
end of unpaved roads of red clay, in villages of grass-roofed huts. They had a new national flag, they had just
gotten the vote, some had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes. They were hopeful, and, so was
I, a schoolteacher living near a settlement of mud-huts among trees and fields—children shouting at play; and
women bent double—most with infants on their backs—hoeing(锄地) the corn beans; and the men sitting in the
shade.
The Swahili word safari means “journey”, it has nothing to do with animals, someone “on safari” is just away
and unobtainable and out of touch. Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be. The wish to disappear sends
many travellers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let
other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge(报复) for having been put on hold, or having to leave
messages on answering machines, not knowing your party’s extension, being kept waiting all your working life.
But also being kept waiting is the human condition.
Travel in the African bush can also be a sort of revenge on mobile phones and email, on telephones and the
daily paper, on the aspects of globalization that allow anyone who chooses to get their hands on you. I desired to be
unobtainable. I was going to Africa for the best of reasons—in a spirit of discovery—simply to disappear, to light
out, with a suggestion of I dare you to try to find me.
Home had become a routine, and routine made time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable
routine: people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk. I was in such regular touch that it
was like having a job, a mode of life I hated. I was sick of being called up and asked for favors, hit up for money.
You stick around too long and people begin to impose their own deadlines on you.
63. What did the writer expect from his journey?
A. To have a variety of enjoyable experiences. B. To see how Africa had changed.
C. To see impressive scenery. D. To meet some old friend.
64. Forty years ago, how did the writer feel about the future of the country where he was living?
第 11 页 共 14 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:

A. Little was likely to change. B. Things were likely to improve.
C. Women would do most of the work. D. People’s expectations were too limited.
65. In Paragraph 3, what reason does the writer give for wanting to travel to Africa?
A. He wanted a change of activity. B. He wanted people to be unable to contact him.
C. His health was suffering from staying at home. D. He had been waiting to return to Africa for long.
66. The writer says “I was a sitting duck” in Paragraph 5 to show that _______.
A. he was boring B. he was easy to find
C. he is fond of ducks D. he was always lending money
(D)
So few adults can remember the details of their own preschool or kindergarten years, it can be hard to
appreciate just how much the early-education landscape has been transformed over the past two decades. The
changes are not restricted to the physical environment of classrooms. Teaching methods and curricula have
changed too. Much greater parts of the day are now spent on what’s called “seatwork”(a term that probably doesn’t
need any explanation) and direct instruction, formerly used mainly in the older grades, in which a teacher carefully
controls the content and pacing of what a child is supposed to learn.
One study, titled “Is Kindergarten the New First Grade?” compared kindergarten teachers’ attitudes
nationwide in 1998 and 2010 and found that the percentage of teachers expecting children to know how to read by
the end of the year had risen from 30 to 80 percent. The researchers also reported more time spent with workbooks
and worksheets, and less time devoted to music and art. Kindergarten is indeed the new first grade, the authors
concluded. In turn, children who would once have used the kindergarten year as a gentle transition into school are
in some cases being held back before they’ve had a chance to start.
Until recently, school-readiness skills weren’t high on anyone’s agenda, nor was the idea that the youngest
learners might be disqualified from moving on to the next stage. But now that kindergarten serves as a
gatekeeper, not a welcome mat, to elementary school, concerns about school preparedness kick in earlier and
earlier. A child who’s supposed to read by the end of kindergarten had better be getting ready in preschool. As a
result, expectations that may arguably have been reasonable for 5- and 6-year-olds, such as being able to sit at a
desk and complete a task using pencil and paper, are now directed at even younger children, who Jack the motor
skills and attention span to be successful.
Preschool classrooms have become increasingly difficult spaces, with teachers asking pre-schoolers to finish
their “work” before they can go play. And yet, even as pre-schoolers are learning more pre-academic skills at
earlier ages, I’ve heard many teachers say that they seem somehow less curious and less engaged than the kids of
第 12 页 共 14 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
earlier generations. More children today seem to lack the language skills needed to retell a simple story or to use
basic connecting words and prepositions. They can’t make a conceptual analogy between, say, the veins(纹理) on a
leaf and the veins in their own hands.
