Looking at Rosa Ferrigno's new suit, you could swear it was knitted (织)with regular yam(毛线).It's only when you touch it and hear the characteristic rustling(沙沙声)of plastic that you realize there's something special about it. In fact, the suit is made out of over 300 plastic grocery bags.

Ferrigno, who once worked as a tailor before starting a family, got the idea for her unique hand-made suit last August. She was at a family picnic and saw one of the other guests carrying a purse made from re-purposed plastic bags. It attracted her, so she and her daughter searched for instructions on how to make one on YouTube. The 75- year-old ended up making a purse from colorful plastic bags. But that was only the beginning. After finishing her second plastic bag purse，Ferrigno realized she needed something to match it with，so last November she told her daughter she was going to make a skirt and jacket suit out of plastic bags，as a winter project. Rosa started by cutting up the plastic bags into strips(条)and then tying them together to make longer, yam- like strips that could be knitted. But to knit the plastic yam, she needed large needles that didn’ t exist on the market, so she made them on her own.

The suit took Rosa two months to complete. The jacket was made out of 170 plastic bags, and the skirt required another 140. Although she didn’ t even use a pattern when knitting the impressive suit, it ended up fitting her perfectly, and when she finally showed it off at the supermarket earlier this month, everyone went crazy.

“We love it when our customers reuse or recycle grocery bags, but never have we seen a work of art like Rosa 's! It's really fantastic! ”Jo Natale, the supermarket chain 's vice president of media relations, said.

24. What makes Rosa Ferrigno’s new suit special?

C. Its being knitted by an old lady.

D. Its being able to sing when touched.

25. How did Rosa learn to make purses out of plastic bags?

B. By consulting her daughter.

C. By watching YouTube videos.

D. By asking a tailor for instructionsf

26. What do Jo Natale’s words in the last paragraph suggest?

A. She thinks highly of Rosa's behavior.

B. Rosa’s work of art will become popular.

C. The potential of grocery bags needs further developing.

D. She thinks all customers should follow Rosa’s footsteps.

27. What can be inferred about Rosa from the text?

A.She does nothing without careful planning.

B. She likes showing off her knitting skills.

C.She is quite able and patient.

D. She is good at matching clothes.

When HarmonyOs, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices, was released on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also shows respect to classical Chinese culture by naming the system "Hongmeng " in Chinese.

"Hongmeng" is a classical word from Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese legend and myths (神话),“Hongmeng" was used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed. For HarmonyOS, "Hongmeng" indicates the developers’aim to make an innovative operating system, unlike any other.

Besides "Hongmeng'", Hunwei has also registered many of its products under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese myths. For example, the company's Kirin mobile chip got its name after a lucky monster called "Qilin". And its server chip is calked "Kunpeng”, a creature that changed from a fish into a giant bird.

Many Chinese Internet users and media have praised Huawei's use of these names," as they stand for Chinese wisdom and ancient people’s imagination and spirit of exploration”, Global Times noted.

In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese myth The Investiture of the Gods. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called “ the glory of domestic anime (国产动漫)”.

Indeed, the long history and splendid classic works have given China a profound culture. Myths and legends are the creative works of tremendous imagination. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting a modern context, “ ancient myths has the power to inspire imagination in young people”. After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.

28.What do we know about HamonyOS?

A.Its release raised a storm of objections.

B.It is named after creature in myth.

C.It combines high technology and culture.

D.It's the best operating system.

29.Which of the following best explains "innovative” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A.creative

B. modern

C. popular

D. intelligent

30. How do the public think of Huawei's use of the names?

A. Confused.

B. Unexpected.

C. Approving.

D. Doubtful.

31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A. The film Ne Zha is not adapted from myths.

B. The film Ne Zha is a big hit.

C. More businesses follow Huawei's lead.

D. Ancient myths is a good choice for entertainment.

Imagine a school where self-awareness is celebrated, students are encouraged to solve maths problems by writing on the walls and applying learned lessons to real life is more important than homework. These are a few of the concepts that makes Space of Mind School unique.

Located in a home built in 1896 in Florida, US, the program serves students in grades 2 through 12 and will accept kindergarten students next year. It also offers an after-school program for students who attend traditional schools, as well as evening programs for adults and educators and weekend events for families.

There is a different atmosphere from that of a traditional school building. Tables and brightly colored walls are white boards. In the science room, students are studying climate changes at a weather station, while in the music room, a student is solving an equation (等式) with his academic coach while he connects music theory and maths.

The daily schedule at the school also stands out. “ We don’t assign boring or exhausting homework.” said Space of Mind founder and CEO Ali Kaufman. “ Instead of homework, we ask that they go home and take a video of themselves applying a lesson they learned or cooking a meal for their family that they learned how to make at school.”

For lunch, instead of traditional cafeteria dishes such as pizza, the school offers organic meals made out of products from local gardens and farms. “ Our students also run a business at the Delray Beach Green Market on Saturdays so they can understand sustainable living practices and how to run a business,” Kafman said.

“ We are also the first school program in Florida to start and end each day with 15 minutes of meditation (冥想),” Kaufman said. “ The positive results we have been seeing in the students from meditation are amazing. We are really about infusing social, emotional and creative skills with academic and life skills.”

32.Space of Mind School_________.

A. assigns no homework.

B. urges students to use what they learn

C. teaches students to earn money in class

D. focuses on knowledge learning

A. Yoga enjoys great popularity in US.

B. The practice of meditation is amazing.

C. The meditation session lasts 15 minutes daily.

D.The students benefit from meditation.

34. The underlined word “infusing" in the last paragraph probably means______.

A. emphasizing

B. checking

C. developing

D. helping

35. What is the text mainly about?

A. What makes Space of Mind School outstanding.

B. Why Space of Mind School is popular in US.

C. How the after-class programs of space of Mind School are organized.

People generally desire to age gracefully (优雅地)and live a long and healthy life filled with good friends,family, and plenty of activity. 36，it’s far from being a fantasy. The fact is，many seniors do it. So what are their secrets?

Avoid stress. Studies show that people who are under lots of stress are at a 20% increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Because of this, avoiding stress as much as possible is one of the best ways to live a happy and healthy life for many years. 37, it’s quite useful to learn stress-management techniques to deal with it better.

38 You must know that your friends can make you feel happy, but are you aware that they can help you live longer, too? Many studies have found that being alone as you age is a great risk in everything from early death to heart disease and stroke.

Set daily goals: 39 . And purposeful living can reduce chances of being depressed. In places like Japan where there are many centenarians(people who live beyond 100 years) , there is a lot of emphasis on living a life of purpose. Try to plan what you will do the next day before going to bed.

Exercise. Studies show again and again that exercise is one of the best ways to keep your body and mind fit as you age. In addition to helping you avoid physical diseases like heart disease and diabetes, daily exercise can also help you stay away from mental diseases and will contribute to keeping your body fit, healthy and capable throughout your golden years. 40

B. Keep a healthy social life

C. While it’s impossible to cut stress out of life entirely

D. Although this is something that many people dream of
