But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, clothing sales fell. Now holiday sales might tempt you with deals on the latest styles. Yet many of these bargains (便宜货) have hidden costs for the environment—and your wallet.“Fast fashion” refers to how the clothing industry quickly produces lots of cheap clothes and gets them to stores every few weeks. The practice lets shoppers buy new styles all the time. And clothes prices are low. But many of these clothes quickly wear out or go out of style. Their price tags also don’t include all of the clothes’ environmental costs.“The problem starts with how we think about fashion,” says Kirsi Niinimaki. She’s a fashion, textile and design researcher. “Everyone nowadays owns too many clothes. And we use them a really short time and then dispose of them,” she says. Even if something stays in your closet for years, you might only end up wearing it some 40 times.Kirsi was part of a team that looked at many studies on the environmental costs of the fashion industry. They found that this industry caused 8 to 10 percent of the global emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. The industry is also responsible (有责任的) for about one-fifth of the world’s industrial water pollution. And people produce more than 92 million metric tons of textile and clothing waste each year, the team found. Its report appeared in the April issue of Nature Reviews.Fashion is a global industry, as Pietra Rivoli learned. She’s an economist at Georgetown University. Rivoli bought a cotton T-shirt in Florida. The tag said it was made in China. But, she learned, the factory had gotten most of its cotton from Texas.

Every hour there was filled with shock and frightening surprise. Here was neither peace, nor rest, nor a moment’s safety—only endless noise and movement. At every moment life itself was in danger, because these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They knew only the law of club and tooth.Buck had never seen dogs fight like these dogs: they were like wolves. He learnt this from his friend, Curly. She tried to make friends with a big dog. But without warning, the dog jumped on Curly. Curly’s face was torn open from eye to mouth. And the fight did not finish then. More dogs ran up and made a circle around the fight, watching silently. Curly tried to attack the dog who had bitten her. He bit her a second time, and jumped away. When Curly tried to attack again, he knocked her backwards. And she fell on the ground. Curly never stood up, and this was what the other dogs were waiting for. In a moment, she was under a crowd of dogs. Then Francois and other men with clubs jumped in among the dogs. Soon the dogs were chased away. But Curly lay dead in the snow, her body torn almost to pieces. Curly’s death often came back to Buck in his dreams. He understood that once a dog was down on the ground, he was dead.That night Buck discovered a problem. Where was he going to sleep? He found Francois was in the tent. Buck followed him quietly. But when he went in and wanted to sleep in the corner, Francois shouted angrily and beat him with a club. Buck ran out and walked around the tent, very, very cold, wondering what to do. Suddenly, the snow under his feet fell in, and he felt something move. He jumped back, waiting for the attack, but heard only a friendlybark. There, in a warm hole under the snow, was Billee. So he knew what he could do. ▲ . He slept well, although his dreams were bad.In the north, Buck was learning the law of club and tooth. He learnt to eat any food—anything that he could get his teeth into. He learnt to break the ice on water holes with his feet when he wanted to drink. He learnt to travel through the forest and kill for meat with wild dogs. He was stronger, and could see and smell better than ever before. It was easy for him to learn to fight like a wolf, because it was in his blood.31．Curly’s death made Buck realize ________ in the north.①how terrible the new life was①the secret of winning a friend①how dangerous the men were①the importance of fighting like wolvesA．①①B．①①C．①①D．①①32．Which of the following can be put in ▲ .A．Buck slept outside the tent silentlyB．Buck lay on the snow and finally fell asleepC．Buck ran into the tent secretly and rested in the cornerD．Buck dug himself a hole and soon was warm and asleep33．What’s the best title for the passage?A．The way to be wild.B．A cold world for dogs.C．The terrible days.D．A clever dog.A Pathway (路径) to Meaning in LifeWhen it comes to a meaningful life, we might think of love, happiness and health. A life filled with meaning is what most of us want for ourselves. Then, what makes a meaningful life?Many researchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors (因素): having long-term goals, believing that one’s life matters, and feeling that one’s life fits together and “makes sense”.But we believe there is more to consider. Sometimes life enables us to experience small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating (欣赏) such experiences, these moments may improve how they see their own life. We call this experiential appreciation (EA). EA is about the person feeling connected to events and being able to appreciate the value within the connection. It shows the discovery of and admiration for life’s beauty.We recently set out to better understand EA in studies. We were interested in whether EA was also tied to general judgment of meaning in life. If so, it could be a factor for meaningfulness.In the first study, we had people rate (评估) their support for different methods of reducing stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful.In the next study, we asked people to rate the degree to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I appreciate the beauty of life” and “I appreciate little things in life,” as well as other statements that related to the three factors and a general sense of meaning in life. Our results showed that the more people reported that they were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their life was valuable.In the following studies, we further looked at the connection between EA and meaningfulness. For example, we found that people who were asked to look back on the most meaningful event of the past week generally reported high EA in those moments.All the results proved our theory (假设) true. But putting it into practice can be difficult. Our fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with goals. We try to get the highest output both at work and in spare time. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. We should slow down and let life surprise us.34．You were most probably in the EA condition when _________.A．you made a travel plan for the coming holidayB．you hurried to serve the customers in the storeC．you practiced hard to become the best violinistD．you stopped to admire the roses by the roadside35．What can we learn from the studies mentioned in the passage?A．Thinking back to the past weakens our sense of meaning.B．Enjoying small things can influence our attitude toward life.C．Proper stress management is the key to living a satisfying life.D．Good judgment on beauty improves connections among people.36．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A．It is easier for results-driven people to achieve success.B．We often turn a blind eye to the present moment.C．A fast-paced lifestyle helps us reach our goals.D．Future life will bring us many more surprises.37．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To explain how to discover beauty in life.B．To discuss what the true meaning of life is.C．To introduce a new factor for a meaningful life.D．To compare different factors for meaningfulness.四、根据汉语提示填空38．Nearly 10% of the Earth’s ________ (表层) is covered by ice.39．To be honest, I’ve never found a diet that really ________ (奏效).40．The world-famous group I like best will have a new song ________ (录制). 41．She was still only half ________ (醒着的) when I brought her a cup of coffee.五、用所给单词的正确形式填空42．Breathing ________（heavy）, I stopped and sat down to rest.43．Ivan has a ________ (live) mind in everything than his playmates.44．The free trade _________ (agree) were finally reached during a meeting at the UN. 45．Kids should be taught where to go into ________ (hide) if an earthquake happens. 46．—Please pour me a cup of tea.—Tea?

Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. Thesewagesystem. takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built th ere, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.1．You can most probably read the passage in .A．a science book B．a TV guideC．a history book D．a telephone book2．.

Leon didn’t really want 37 cats, but one by one they had appeared on his doorstep, and Leon had taken them in.Every day, after feeding the cats, Leon would collect the mail from the red postboxes in the village and take it home. “If only I had 37 helpers instead of 37 cats, my job would be so much easier,” Leon thought. Just then, the cats startedmeowing for their dinner. That gave Leon an idea. That night, Leon worked late making 37 cat-sized postal backpacks. Then, he went around to each postbox, putting up signs that read: postbox closed! Please use the postal cat service.The next day, Leon put a backpack on each cat and dropped off the cats around the village. Leon knew that the cats would be happy walking around all day. He also knew that they would always come home for dinner. Leon spent the day relaxing, waiting for his helpers to return. Leon was right. The cats did return, but they did not bring home many letters. Some got the letters wet. Some bit off the corners of the letters. Some even lost their backpacks. “Cats are just too unreliable(不可靠的),” Leon thought.Just then, a strange sound came from the outside of Leon’s door. A dirty dog was waiting to be invited inside. That gave Leon an idea.1．In Paragraph 2, Leon _______ that night.A．made postal backpacks B．put up a sign on each catC．had dinner with the cats D．collected letters in the village2．Which of the following is right?A．Leon’s job was to raise cats and dogs.B．Leon asked the cats to collect the mail for him every morning.C．Some cats got the letters wet and some bit off the corners of the letters.D．37 cats came home and brought home many letters successfully.3．According to the last paragraph, we can infer(推断) that Leon would _______.A．let the dog take a shower B．make the dog work for himC．invite the dog to dinner D．walk the dog around the villageC15、Talking to human-like devices (设备) can be great fun – just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems.A recent study by scientists in the US found that human-like devices keep people from finding out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. Participants were then introduced to human-like products. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms.The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.But the team also found that there were limits to how far this effect would enlarge.Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect theirsocial interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.“If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “From that point of view, it’s important to be aware of it.”The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without losing normal social interaction.“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen s and focusing on developing your real personal connections.”1．Who did the recent study?A．The human-like devices.B．The normal human interaction.C．The scientists in the US.D．The human-like producers.2．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “participants” in Paragraph Three?A．指挥者B．参与者C．协调者D．疏导者3．What should people do during the series of experiments?A．They should tell a joke.B．They were asked to think about their phone.C．They were introduced to human-like products.D．They were asked to find out the well-being of people.4．What’s the advantage of the recent study?A．Companies will design more products.B．People will spend more time talking to Siri.C．People will never feel lonely.D．People will improve their current relationships.D16、1．Sally Smith sent the postcard from ___________.A．Barcelona, Spain B．Boston, USAC．Mexico City, Mexico D．Bangkok, Thailand2．Bill will probably be back in____________.A．a day B．a weekC．two weeks D．a month3．Which of the following is mentioned in the three postcards? A．Barcelona is a big city. B．Mexico city is very hot. C．Bangkok is a very old city. D．Mexico City is small but beautiful.E17、If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometres．These great forests are the seas of trees．They are full of thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals．However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time．We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland as well．Some people say that there will not be any forests like these left in 20 to 30 years．What will happen if they disappear? If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world, in a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts, for example, crops will not grow there．What's worse, it will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot．Perhaps the climate of the world will change, which will be dangerous for everyone in the world．That is why we must take care of our forests．1．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word "deserts" in this passage?A．Farmland．B．Sands．C．Green fields．D．Villages．2．The passage mainly tells us about ________．A．the importance of taking care of our forestsB．why a lot of animals disappearC．where the forests areD．the reasons for forming the deserts3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Only Africa and South America are the oceans of trees．B．Different plants can't be found in the same forest．C．Forests are usually several square kilometres large．D．Forests are homes to different kinds of animals．F18、Sports, school are tiring.

Punks walked around with bright pink and green hair, broken clothes with safety pins, metal buttons（纽扣）and pierced ears and lips. Punk music shops played loud, heavy rock music.But there were also groups of hippies（嬉皮士）with big sweaters.
