Why shop ethically
Every time we shop we’re voting with our wallet. When we buy from brands that have a positive impact it’s like voting for a better world.
Good for the environment
We are faced with many environmental issues, from global warming to pesticide (农药) pollution, that can in part be addressed by shopping more ethically (道德地). We can help tackle climate change by switching to a green energy provider or help reduce the amount of dangerous pesticides that are killing wildlife by buying organic products.
Good for society (both local and global)
Many of the products we buy have been produced by companies that pay their workers poverty wages and then hide their profits in offshore tax havens. We can shop, for example, for products that carry the Fairtrade qualification.
Good for animal welfare
To sell their products overseas many cosmetics (化妆品) companies still test on animals, by buying from brands that refuse to test on animals you can be sure that no animals are harmed in the production of your cosmetics.
Good for body and soul
We also know that a healthy balanced diet is good for you and this usually means leaving behind high sugar and salt products that are often irresponsibly marketed to children or abandoning cosmetics that contain harmful components.

Anyanna Philipps is no ordinary teacher. She’s an admired kindergarten educator for whom teaching is a mission. She believes that self-respect and strong relationships are the real building blocks of educational development and the path to self-actualization in life. And Philipps, known as Cool Miss P, continues to win hearts on social media, as well as in the classroom, with millions of views on TikTok and Instagram.
Philipps, from Georgia, in the US, is on a mission to put self-respect into the little ones she works with. She has hung a mirror on her classroom door so the children can practice daily “mirror affirmations (肯定)” as she enthusiastically encourages them to “be the best that you can be”.
Since she was young, Philipps was told by people around her that her love for children would make her a great teacher one day. She was also inspired by several of her own teachers. Then a serious accident last year made her feel grateful for living and encouraged her to bring joy into her classroom. She tries to make sure that her students are happy by putting her heart into developing the teacher-student relationship.
Philipps shares one of her Instagram posts: “I am sticking to my purpose. I am a teacher, working to impact, inspire, and elevate all of these precious little lives. For young kids, positive affirmations can help make them feel capable of doing more ‘big kid’ things. They can also help increase kids’ self-respect and make them more resilient (有承受力) to bullying and other negative life situations.”
Cool Miss P puts this idea into action each and every school day to inspire all her young students. So it’s not surprising that so many people viewing her posts leave comments saying that the world needs more teachers like her.
4. Why does Philipps hang a mirror on her classroom door
A. To raise students’ confidence. B. To decorate the classroom.
C. To light the classroom. D. To check students’ appearance.
5. What did Philipps decide to do after the accident
A. Ask previous teachers for advice.
B. Strengthen connection with students.
C. Carry out teaching outside the classroom.
D. Attract people’s attention to early education.
6. What is the impact of her positive affirmations for children
A. They will be in an easier situation.
B. They will submit to bullying on campus.
C. They can deal with challenges positively.
D. They will feel less hesitant to ask for help.
7 What is people’s attitude towards Philipps’s practice in teaching
A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
C
Getting rid of old tyres has long been a problem. Every year more than a billion reach the end of the road. Until recently, most were thrown into landfills or piled up in storage yards. Tougher environmental laws mean many countries now insist tyres are recycled.
Some firms, therefore, have begun exploring a great idea. Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons, it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into low-carbon fuel which can be used to run the vehicles they came from. One of the most ambitious firms pursuing the idea is Wastefront, which is based in Oslo, in Norway. Later this year the company will start building a giant tyre-recycling plant. In a couple of years, when the plant is fully operational, it will be able to turn 8m old tyres into new products, including some 25,000 tons of a black liquid called tyre derived oil (TDO).
The process works by deconstructing (解构) a tyre into three main parts. One is steel, which is used to brace the structure of a tyre. The second is carbon black, a powdery carbon used to improve the durability of the tyre. The third is rubber.
In order to do the deconstructing, the tyres are first shredded and the steel bracing removed. The remaining material then goes through a process called pyrolysis (热解). This involves exposing a material to high temperatures in the absence of air. That causes the rubber to turn into a mix of hydrocarbon gases, which are drawn off. What is left behind is pure carbon black. Once the drawn-off gas has cooled down, a part of it changes into TDO. The remaining gases, which include methane, are funneled back around to be burned, fuelling the reactor.
The overall output of the process by weight is 40% TDO, 30% carbon black, 20% steel and 10% gas. The recovered TDO is similar to crude oil fresh from the ground. The carbon black can be re-used to make new tyres, which is of interest to tyre-makers. This, says Vianney Vales, Wastefront’s boss, creates a closed-loop system that prevents emissions.
8. What can we learn about old tyres from the first paragraph
A. A billion of them are on the road.
B. Throwing them into landfills is easy.
C. How to handle them is challenging.
D. Environmental laws insist tyres be piled up.
9. Why will Wastefront start building a giant tyre-recycling plant
A. To get hydrocarbons B. To explore a great idea.
C. To produce new tyres. D. To turn old tyres into fuel.
10. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Vianney Valès
A. To show his ambition.
B. To show the success of the idea.
C. To stress the output of deconstructing.
D. To compare different output of deconstructing.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A Recycling tyres: Fuel from your wheels
B. One Common Energy Recovery Method
C. How to deconstruct old tyres reasonably
D. An alternative, pleasingly realistic idea
D
The term “digital equity (公平)” has been talked about for several years, but school closures during the COVID-19 epidemic have brought increased attention to the issue. However, while much focus has been on improving access to technology for students, an area of digital equity that often gets neglected is how parents are expected to engage with their children’s schools.
Research shows that students with engaged families earn higher grades, adapt more quickly, have better behavior and social skills. Parents who know what is happening in the classroom are better equipped to help their children succeed and can combine learning at home with learning at school. That’s why equitable communication with parents needs to be part of a district’s overall equity goals.
Equitable parent communication requires schools to meet parents where they are, especially considering that nearly 1 in 4 US homes live with no Internet access. Parents who do not have smart phones or personal computers should have the same access to their children’s teachers as parents with the latest technology.
Often districts use communication platforms that require parents to log into a website, choose a messaging service, or download software. Each of these obstacles restricts communication pathways for parents who do not have access to the required technology. Districts should consider platforms that enable parents to receive phone calls to fixed-line telephones and SMS messages to standard cellphones.
In addition, platforms that focus on “blast” and “mass” types of messaging are sufficient for distributing information related to an entire classroom or school but miss the mark on developing meaningful relationships with individual parents and creating real engaging opportunities. Districts should opt to use tools that create digital equity for parents and create an environment where meaningful conversations can take place.
To conclude, good school-home relationships are a crucial factor in children’s education. Positive school-home relationships must get supported as equitable communication is the pathway to engaging all parents in helping students achieve more success.
12. What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Mentioned. B. Ignored. C. Explored. D. Stressed.
13. What is the result of the research in Paragraph 2
A. Students can adapt to school life easily.
B. Students can deal with challenges on their own.
C. Parents’ habits significantly affect their children.
D. Parents’ involvement in children’s schooling is rewarding.
14. What should districts do to promote positive school-home relationships
A. Make environment more friendly
B. Provide free cellphones for parents.
C. Popularize communication websites
D. Find ways to provide equitable communication.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Digital equity can help students succeed.
B. Parents should value communication platforms.
C. School-home relationships are important in children’s education.
D. Meaningful conversations will benefit children’s education greatly.

Leah had been trying for Auditions (试演) for All-State Band. Then, the day before the audition, she met into Rachel Jacobs. “So, Leah, I hear you are auditioning for All-State. Do you really want to embarrass yourself ” Rachel said snottily (自负的). Rachel and Leah had been fighting for first chair in the school band ever since Leah had gotten it. “Rachel, I’m still first chair,” Leah replied.
That afternoon, Mr. Johnson, the school band director, stood up to make an announcement. “Kids,” he said, “today Rachel Jacobs would like to challenge Leah Foster for first chair.” Leah wasn’t worried; Rachel had challenged her four times and nothing had come of it. However, Leah hit the note wrong, and her sound was not good at all. Rachel, on the other hand, played perfectly. Leah was shameful. It was one of the band pieces she should have known. Rachel was given first chair, and Leah left the band room with tears. She went through the rest of her classes in a haze.
“We’re leaving for the audition in one hour!” said Mr. Foster the next morning. “I don’t feel well. Maybe next year,” said Leah. Then she burst into tears and ran from the room. Her mom followed her into her bedroom and sat on the foot of her bed. “Oh, Leah. First of all, I’ve heard you play your song, and you’re not going to shame yourself. Bravery isn’t about not being scared—it means doing something despite the fact that you’re afraid. And if you go out there and do your best, we’ll be proud of you, no matter what the outcome.” Leah’s mom smiled. “So what do you say Do we have an audition to go to ”
“Yeah, I guess,” Leah replied. “Good girl! Get dressed now. We still have half an hour.” Leah sat outside the audition room nervously grasping her flute (笛子). Finally, they called her name.

Anyanna Philipps is no ordinary teacher. She’s an admired kindergarten educator for whom teaching is a mission. She believes that self-respect and strong relationships are the real building blocks of educational development and the path to self-actualization in life. And Philipps, known as Cool Miss P, continues to win hearts on social media, as well as in the classroom, with millions of views on TikTok and Instagram.
Philipps, from Georgia, in the US, is on a mission to put self-respect into the little ones she works with. She has hung a mirror on her classroom door so the children can practice daily “mirror affirmations (肯定)” as she enthusiastically encourages them to “be the best that you can be”.
Since she was young, Philipps was told by people around her that her love for children would make her a great teacher one day. She was also inspired by several of her own teachers. Then a serious accident last year made her feel grateful for living and encouraged her to bring joy into her classroom. She tries to make sure that her students are happy by putting her heart into developing the teacher-student relationship.
Philipps shares one of her Instagram posts: “I am sticking to my purpose. I am a teacher, working to impact, inspire, and elevate all of these precious little lives. For young kids, positive affirmations can help make them feel capable of doing more ‘big kid’ things. They can also help increase kids’ self-respect and make them more resilient (有承受力) to bullying and other negative life situations.”
Cool Miss P puts this idea into action each and every school day to inspire all her young students. So it’s not surprising that so many people viewing her posts leave comments saying that the world needs more teachers like her.

Getting rid of old tyres has long been a problem. Every year more than a billion reach the end of the road. Until recently most were thrown into landfills or piled up in storage yards. Tougher environmental laws mean many countries now insist tyres are recycled.
Some firms, therefore, have begun exploring a great idea. Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons, it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into low-carbon fuel which can be used to run the vehicles they came from. One of the most ambitious firms pursuing the idea is Wastefront, which is based in Oslo, in Norway. Later this year the company will start building a giant tyre-recycling plant. In a couple of years, when the plant is fully operational, it will be able to turn 8m old tyres into new products, including some 25,000 tons of a black liquid called tyre derived oil (TDO).
The process works by deconstructing (解构) a tyre into three main parts. One is steel, which is used to brace the structure of a tyre. The second is carbon black, a powdery carbon used to improve the durability of the tyre. The third is rubber.
In order to do the deconstructing, the tyres are first shredded and the steel bracing removed. The remaining material then goes through a process called pyrolysis (热解). This involves exposing a material to high temperatures in the absence of air. That causes the rubber to turn into a mix of hydrocarbon gases, which are drawn off. What is left behind is pure carbon black. Once the drawn-off gas has cooled down, a part of it changes into TDO. The remaining gases, which include methane, are funneled back around to be burned, fuelling the reactor.
The overall output of the process by weight is 40% TDO, 30% carbon black, 20% steel and 10% gas. The recovered TDO is similar to crude oil fresh from the ground. The carbon black can be re-used to make new tyres, which is of interest to tyre-makers. This, says Vianney Vales, Wastefront’s boss, creates a closed-loop system that prevents emissions.
8. What can we learn about old tyres from the first paragraph
A. A billion of them are on the road.
B. Throwing them into landfills is easy.
C. How to handle them is challenging.
D. Environmental laws insist tyres be piled up.
9. Why will Wastefront start building a giant tyre-recycling plant
A. To get hydrocarbons B. To explore a great idea.
C To produce new tyres. D. To turn old tyres into fuel.
10. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Vianney Valès
A. To show his ambition.
B. To show the success of the idea.
C. To stress the output of deconstructing.
D. To compare different output of deconstructing.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Recycling tyres: Fuel from your wheels
B. One Common Energy Recovery Method
C. How to deconstruct old tyres reasonably

细节理解题。由文章第一段“Getting rid of old tyres has long been a problem. Every year more than a billion reach the end of the road. Until recently, most were thrown into landfills or piled up in storage yards. Tougher environmental laws mean many countries now insist tyres are recycled. (处理旧轮胎一直是个难题。每年都有超过10亿走到路的尽头。直到最近,大多数垃圾都被扔进垃圾填埋场或堆放在仓库里。更严格的环境法律意味着许多国家现在坚持轮胎回收。)”可知,如何处理这些旧轮胎一直是个难题,很有挑战性。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons, it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into low-carbon fuel which can be used to run the vehicles they came from. One of the most ambitious firms pursuing the idea is Wastefront, which is based in Oslo, in Norway. Later this year the company will start building a giant tyre-recycling plant.

The term “digital equity (公平)” has been talked about for several years, but school closures during the COVID-19 epidemic have brought increased attention to the issue. However, while much focus has been on improving access to technology for students, an area of digital equity that often gets neglected is how parents are expected to engage with their children’s schools.
Research shows that students with engaged families earn higher grades, adapt more quickly, have better behavior and social skills. Parents who know what is happening in the classroom are better equipped to help their children succeed and can combine learning at home with learning at school. That’s why equitable communication with parents needs to be part of a district’s overall equity goals.
Equitable parent communication requires schools to meet parents where they are, especially considering that nearly 1 in 4 US homes live with no Internet access. Parents who do not have smart phones or personal computers should have the same access to their children’s teachers as parents with the latest technology.
Often districts use communication platforms that require parents to log into a website, choose a messaging service, or download software. Each of these obstacles restricts communication pathways for parents who do not have access to the required technology. Districts should consider platforms that enable parents to receive phone calls to fixed-line telephones and SMS messages to standard cellphones.
In addition, platforms that focus on “blast” and “mass” types of messaging are sufficient for distributing information related to an entire classroom or school but miss the mark on developing meaningful relationships with individual parents and creating real engaging opportunities. Districts should opt to use tools that create digital equity for parents and create an environment where meaningful conversations can take place.
To conclude, good school-home relationships are a crucial factor in children’s education. Positive school-home relationships must get supported as equitable communication is the pathway to engaging all parents in helping students achieve more success.
12. What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Mentioned. B. Ignored. C. Explored. D. Stressed.
13. What is the result of the research in Paragraph 2
A. Students can adapt to school life easily.
B. Students can deal with challenges on their own.
C. Parents’ habits significantly affect their children.
D. Parents’ involvement in children’s schooling is rewarding.
14. What should districts do to promote positive school-home relationships
A. Make environment more friendly
B. Provide free cellphones for parents.
C. Popularize communication websites
D. Find ways to provide equitable communication.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Digital equity can help students succeed.
B. Parents should value communication platforms.
C. School-home relationships are important in children’s education.
D. Meaningful conversations will benefit children’s education greatly.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学校与家庭的关系在儿童教育中很重要。

Breaking the Habit of People-Pleasing
If you feel like you may be a people-pleaser, you’re not alone. Most people have a growing desire for pleasing others. ____16____ It can also result in weak boundaries, problems with decision-making, and low self-worth. For that reason, it’s important to recognize and overcome your own people-pleasing behaviors. Here are simple exercises that you can start working on today.
1. Practice being alone
____17____ Trust that people will not abandon you, even if you don’t drop everything for them. Believe you are lovable for who you are, not what you do. Practice this by going to a movie or restaurant alone.
2. Keep plans with yourself
____18____ Otherwise, you are sending a message to your brain that a plan you make with yourself does not hold as much value as a plan you make with someone else. Don’t break any plans you make with yourself, whether it’s going to the gym or studying for an exam.
3. Practice saying “no”
If you’re a people-pleaser you may find it hard to say “no” because you feel it comes across as cruel or uncaring. ____19____Be clear, be direct, and use “I” statements. Try statements like: “I would really love to be able to help you, but unfortunately, I’m already committed at that time.”
By consistently integrating these strategies into your life, I’m confident you’ll break your people-pleasing habits. ____20____ This will yield an overall improvement in self-confidence and life satisfaction.
A. So it is not necessary to say no.
B. But it absolutely does not have to.
C. Learn to love your own company.

【17题详解】
根据小标题“Practice being alone(练习独处)”可知,空处内容应与独处有关。C项“学会爱自己的陪伴”即独处,符合本段主旨,且在句式上与下文三个句子保持一致,都是祈使句。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据小标题“Keep plans with yourself(为自己制定计划)”可知,空处内容与自己制定计划有关。F项“你自己的计划和你和别人一起制定的计划一样重要”符合题意,引出下文“Otherwise, you are sending a message to your brain that a plan you make with yourself does not hold as much value as a plan you make with someone else. (否则,你是在向你的大脑传递一个信息:你自己制定的计划不如你和别人制定的计划有价值)”。故选F。
【19题详解】

【20题详解】
根据上文“By consistently integrating these strategies into your life, I’m confident you’ll break your people-pleasing habits. (通过不断地将这些策略融入到你的生活中,我相信你会改掉取悦别人的习惯)”推知,空处应陈述改掉取悦别人的习惯的结果。D项“你会发展出更健康、更相互依赖的关系”符合题意,且下文“This will yield an overall improvement in self-confidence and life satisfaction.(这会使你的自信心和生活满意度得到全面提升)”中的this指代选项中的“更健康、更相互依赖的关系”。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在中国南方地区走访龙脊梯田的经历。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:这个名字的字面意思是“龙脊”,因为梯田看起来就像龙鳞,而山顶就像脊梁骨。分析句子结构可知,本空填副词literally“按字面,字面上”,修饰动词means,作状语。故填 literally。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:这个名字的字面意思是“龙脊”,因为梯田看起来就像龙鳞,而山顶就像脊梁骨。根据句意可知,本空填while“然而”,表示the rice terraces look just like a dragon’s scales和the mountain’s summit resembles the backbone之间的对比。故填while。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:被称为“龙脊”的梯田是一幅壮观的景象,它们以复杂的图案伸展在绿色的山丘上,看起来像水的涟漪。pattern“图案”是可数名词,前面没有限定词,所以用复数形式。故填patterns。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:徒步旅行带我穿过美丽风景映衬下的小村庄。根据语境可知,此处描述的是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时,故填take“带,引领”的过去式took。故填 took。
【40题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:当地农民正忙着照料已经耕种了1000多年的梯田。分析句子结构可知,that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the terraced rice fields,在定语从句中作主语,且与动词farm“耕种”之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态,又根据空前的were和时间状语for over 1,000 years可知,应用过去完成时的被动语态。故填had been farmed。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在以糯米等当地特色美食为特色的多道菜中,我对梯田和乡村生活有了更多的了解。 分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词learned,所以本空用非谓语动词形式。逻辑主语meals与feature“以……为特色”之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词形式featuring,作定语,修饰meals。故填featuring。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意:在以糯米等当地特色美食为特色的多道菜中,我对梯田和乡村生活有了更多的了解。 根据句意可知,此处表示“我”了解了更多关于梯田和乡村生活的知识。所以用much的比较级more“更多”。故填more。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:社区精神和与自然环境的联系是独一无二的。分析句子结构可知,空处与spirit并列,故填不可数名词connection“联系”,作主语。故填connection。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:整整三天后,当徒步旅行结束时,我对这些由几代家庭精心打造成景观的古老农业奇迹感到深深的感激。根据句意可知,此处表示“由几代家庭精心打造”,所以用介词by,引出发出动作者。故填by。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:龙脊梯田为我提供了令人难忘的山景和对中国乡村的文化见解。根据句意可知,此处unforgettable mountain views和cultural insights into rural China为并列关系,故用连词and进行连接。故填and。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Leah had been trying for Auditions (试演) for All-State Band. Then, the day before the audition, she met into Rachel Jacobs. “So, Leah, I hear you are auditioning for All-State. Do you really want to embarrass yourself ” Rachel said snottily (自负的). Rachel and Leah had been fighting for first chair in the school band ever since Leah had gotten it. “Rachel, I’m still first chair,” Leah replied.
That afternoon, Mr. Johnson, the school band director, stood up to make an announcement. “Kids,” he said, “today Rachel Jacobs would like to challenge Leah Foster for first chair.” Leah wasn’t worried; Rachel had challenged her four times and nothing had come of it. However, Leah hit the note wrong, and her sound was not good at all. Rachel, on the other hand, played perfectly. Leah was shameful. It was one of the band pieces she should have known. Rachel was given first chair, and Leah left the band room with tears. She went through the rest of her classes in a haze.
“We’re leaving for the audition in one hour!” said Mr. Foster the next morning. “I don’t feel well. Maybe next year,” said Leah. Then she burst into tears and ran from the room. Her mom followed her into her bedroom and sat on the foot of her bed. “Oh, Leah. First of all, I’ve heard you play your song, and you’re not going to shame yourself. Bravery isn’t about not being scared—it means doing something despite the fact that you’re afraid. And if you go out there and do your best, we’ll be proud of you, no matter what the outcome.” Leah’s mom smiled. “So what do you say Do we have an audition to go to ”
“Yeah, I guess,” Leah replied. “Good girl! Get dressed now. We still have half an hour.” Leah sat outside the audition room nervously grasping her flute (笛子). Finally, they called her name.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Leah stepped onto the audition stage. Her first note was clear and loud, and as soon as she hit it, all her worries faded. After everyone had auditioned, the judges called the musicians back into the room to announce who would be invited to join the All-State Band. One by one, people’s names were called. Finally, one of the judges said, “And our final member is Rachel Jacobs.” Leah knew exactly what she had to do. She walked over to Rachel.
“Congratulations! You deserve it,” Leah said, sticking out her hands. “Um, thanks. Thanks a lot!” Rachel said, slowly shaking Leah’s hand. As Leah headed out to the car with her family, she breathed in the crisp autumn air and admired the beautiful colors that the leaves were turning. She let out a contented sigh, knowing that even though she hadn’t gotten a spot in the All-State Band, she had won. From this experience, Leah learned that at any time, no matter how difficult it is, she should never give up.
