【解析】
【原文】W: There’s a place in Venezuela where lightning strikes about 200 days a year.
M: Are you serious
W: Yep. Locals call it “the Never-ending Storm of Catatumbo” because the area is near the Catatumbo River. Scientists found most of the lightning strikes between April and November. NASA named it the “Lightning Capital of the World”.
M: Why does the area get so many storms
W: The Andes Mountains are on one side of the river, and the Caribbean Sea is on the other side. Cool mountain winds move into the valley and hit warm sea air, creating the perfect conditions for lightning.
M: Are the people there afraid of getting hit
W: Surprisingly, the chances are pretty small. In the US, about one of every 12,000 people gets hit in their lifetime.
M: Yeah, but we’re talking about an area that gets struck by lightning about 70% of the time.
W: True. This article says that near the Catatumbo River, one in three people gets struck every year.
M: Whoa! I would never go outside if I lived there.

B. The fillings are mainly cheese.
C. They are similar to Chinese dumplings.
【答案】17. B 18. C 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: Dumplings are a style of food that can be found about everywhere you go. They have many names but may be the most delicious food around the world. In the most basic sense, a dumpling consists of the skin and fillings. As is known, China is the dumpling capital of the world. Jiaozi is a Chinese dumpling. It typically consists of a ground meat and vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough. It may be divided into various types depending on how they are cooked. Miyazawa, a Japanese cook, says, “Japanese dumplings came from China at the beginning, but Chinese dumplings are mostly boiled. However, gyoza, a pan-fried meat dumpling, is more common in Japan. It is in a half-moon shape. Its bottom is crispy while the top is softer, thanks to how it is steamed after being pan-fried.” In my hometown, local people tend to call ravioli the Italian dumpling on account of its similar shape. However, they are actually a kind of pasta. Although they are food in the form of “dumplings”, there are big differences in their fillings, cooking methods and sauces that will go with them. For instance, ravioli are in square shape and the fillings can be cheese besides meat and vegetables.

This month I finally lived my dream: I visited behind the scenes at Disneyland, “the happiest place on Earth.” Watching thousands of smiling employees rushing, around the park, completely absorbed in their work, I suddenly understood the magic behind the park and why joy had escaped me for so long.
When I was younger, I tried to pursue happiness directly by creating as many happy moments as I could. However, no matter how many happy moments I had, they could not protect me from sadness. The sadness would unexpectedly arise when it shouldn’t when I was with friends or family, when I had achieved success, and when I tried to create art. It was the persistence (持续) of this sadness that finally made me realize the truth: the Happy/Sad model was wrong.
I updated my mental model to the Pleasure/Pain model. I saw that what I had called happiness was simply emotional pleasure, which was anything that confirmed the way I saw myself and the world. As I removed emotionally and physically painful moments from my life, I established a mental image of myself as a “happy person.” However, I was stuck in a one-dimensional emotional world.
Wandering down the 19th street and waving to the 100th friendly costumed character, I finally found the words that completed my third model — Joy/Fear, one that gives real depth to life. Disneyland, with its immersive (沉浸式的) world and perfect performances, goes beyond creating happiness and lessening pain. It is carefully getting rid of fear. It removes the possibility of anything going wrong, of disappointing us. And behind the scenes, Disneyland works tirelessly to ensure that everything always run the way it should.
Life is not Disneyland, however. Try as we might, we can’t control the world around us or completely erase our fearful moments. But we can control how we approach life and how we understand our fears. And in the absence of that fear, joy arises.
24. What gives the author a deep insight into happiness at Disneyland
A. The beautiful scenes of Disneyland.
B. The relaxing working environment.
C. The smiling and committed staff.
D. The magical life principle.
25. The author was unhappy when younger because he/she __________.
A. had no close friends
B. didn’t get along well with family
C. achieved no success in the art creation
D. misunderstood the true meaning of happiness
26. What does the author think of his/her second mental model
A. It is entirely subjective.
B. It gives real depth to life.
C. It focuses on temporary joy.
D. It highlights the external state.
27. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Disneyland is a magical and joyful place.
B. Emotional pleasure is the key to happiness.
C. Fear is inevitable for all of us in the whole life.
D. Approaching life with devotion brings genuine joy.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者参观了迪士尼乐园的幕后，这让作者意识到只有用全身心的投入来对待生活，会带来真正的快乐。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Watching thousands of smiling employees rushing, around the park, completely absorbed in their work, I suddenly understood the magic behind the park and why joy had escaped me for so long.(看着成千上万面带微笑的员工在公园里跑来跑去，完全沉浸在他们的工作中，我突然明白了公园背后的魔力，也明白了为什么我这么长时间都没有快乐)”可知，笑容满面、兢兢业业的工作人员让作者对迪士尼乐园的快乐有了深刻的了解。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When I was younger, I tried to pursue happiness directly by creating as many happy moments as I could. However, no matter how many happy moments I had, they could not protect me from sadness.(当我年轻的时候，我试图通过创造尽可能多的快乐时刻来直接追求幸福。然而，无论我有多少快乐的时刻，它们都不能保护我免受悲伤)”及“It was the persistence (持续) of this sadness that finally made me realize the truth: the Happy/Sad model was wrong.(正是这种悲伤的持续，最终让我意识到真相：快乐/悲伤的模式是错误的)”可知，作者年轻时之所以不快乐，是因为他误解了幸福的真谛。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I updated my mental model to the Pleasure/Pain model. I saw that what I had called happiness was simply emotional pleasure, which was anything that confirmed the way I saw myself and the world. As I removed emotionally and physically painful moments from my life, I established a mental image of myself as a “happy person.” However, I was stuck in a one-dimensional emotional world.(我把我的心智模型更新为快乐/痛苦模型。我发现，我所谓的幸福不过是情感上的愉悦，是任何能证实我对自己和世界的看法的东西。当我从生活中去除情感上和身体上的痛苦时，我在心理上把自己塑造成一个“快乐的人”。然而，我被困在一个单一的情感世界里)”可推知，作者认为他/她的第二种思维模式完全是主观的。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Try as we might, we can’t control the world around us or completely erase our fearful moments. But we can control how we approach life and how we understand our fears. And in the absence of that fear, joy arises.(尽管我们很努力，但我们无法控制我们周围的世界，也无法完全消除我们的恐惧时刻。但我们可以控制我们如何对待生活，如何理解我们的恐惧。在没有恐惧的情况下，快乐就会升起)”可知，作者似乎在文章中传达了这样一种观点：用全身心的投入来对待生活，会带来真正的快乐。故选D。
C
Most animals are active around people, which makes observing them in the wild a challenging effort for researchers. The issue is worsened with naturally shy creatures like emperor penguins (企鹅), who show signs of physical sorrow in front of humans.
The French scientist Le Maho and his team began a project to test if sending tiny robots to collect the required information would affect the penguins as harmfully. They began by fitting 34 emperor penguins with outside heart rate monitors, which could be read from a distance of 60 centimeters. They then sent a simple, four wheeled robot into a place of hatching penguins that were stationary because they were using their legs to protect eggs.
Though the penguins were a little alarmed and even cried, they did allow the robot to read their heart monitors. Even more encouraging was the fact that as soon as the robot stopped moving, the penguins' heart rates returned to normal, much more rapidly than when humans entered the place.
However, for the extremely shy emperor penguins it was still too disturbing. After some discussions, their first attempt failed terribly. Fortunately, the scientists decided to try to cover the robot as a penguin chick for Le Maho's team, a British production company working on a news film, and it was also trying getting into the penguin place using secret cameras. The two worked together to create a lovely chick robot that the emperor penguins immediately considered as one of their own.
Covered in soft fuzz (绒毛) just like a real baby emperor penguin it is so believable that the chicks gather around it, just as they do with each other. The penguins not only accept the robot, but they even sing to it, and appear a little disappointed when the “chick” doesn't respond—an error the scientists plan to correct with the next group of robot penguins. Not surprisingly, the penguins show almost no stress as the lovely “spy” walks around the place, gathering all kinds of information about their day-to-day lives.
28. Once humans approach emperor penguins, they tend to .
A. show their shyness B. feel disturbed and sad
C. take action more actively D. dive into the sea right away
29. What does the underlined word “stationary” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Still. B. Strong. C. Hungry. D. Dynamic.
30. What is the advantage of the chick robot compared with the four wheeled robot
A. It has two creative working teams.
B. It has made less errors in gathering information.
C. It is more believable to get close to the real penguins.
D. It is more capable of communicating with the real penguins.
31. What will the scientists do with the next group of robot penguins
A. Fix new heart monitors to get accurate heart rates.
B. Develop their audio system and get them to sing.
C. Change their looks and make them look more lovely.
D. Improve the technique to restore their communicative function.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家利用“小鸡”机器人来收集帝企鹅的信息，以免这种企鹅在人类接近的时候感到不安和悲伤。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The issue is worsened with naturally shy creatures like emperor penguins(企鹅), who show signs of physical sorrow in front of humans.(这个问题在像帝企鹅这样天生害羞的动物身上更加严重，它们在人类面前表现出身体上的悲伤)”以及第四段“However, for the extremely shy emperor penguins it was still too disturbing.(然而，对于极度害羞的帝企鹅来说，这仍然太令人不安了)”可知，一旦人类接近帝企鹅，它们往往会感到不安和悲伤。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“because they were using their legs to protect eggs”可知，企鹅要用腿保护蛋，所以它们是静止的。故划线词意思是“静止的”。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Covered in soft fuzz (绒毛) just like a real baby emperor penguin, it is so believable that the chicks gather around it, just as they do with each other. The penguins not only accept the robot, but they even sing to it, and appear a little disappointed when the “chick” doesn't respond—an error the scientists plan to correct with the next group of robot penguins.(它被柔软的绒毛覆盖着，就像一只真正的小帝企鹅，它是如此可信，以至于小企鹅们聚集在它周围，就像它们彼此之间一样。企鹅们不仅接受了机器人，甚至还对着它唱歌，当“小鸡”没有回应时，它们显得有点失望——科学家们计划用下一组机器人企鹅来纠正这个错误)”可知，小鸡机器人与四轮机器人相比优势在于接近真实的企鹅，企鹅更容易相信。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Covered in soft fuzz (绒毛) just like a real baby emperor penguin, it is so believable that the chicks gather around it, just as they do with each other. (它被柔软的绒毛覆盖着，就像一只真正的小帝企鹅，它是如此可信，以至于小企鹅们聚集在它周围，就像它们彼此之间一样)”可推知，小鸡机器人因为有绒毛覆盖，所以被帝企鹅接受了，故推测科学家将要改变下一批机器企鹅的外表，让他们看起来更可爱。故选C。
D
Italian company Lablaco is working with fashion houses and brands to digitize their clothes in the growing “phygital” fashion market. Lablaco was founded in 2016 by Lorenzo Albrighi and Eliana Kuo, who both had backgrounds in luxury fashion. They were looking to improve the industry’s sustainability and promote circular fashion — the practice of designing and producing clothes in a way that reduces waste.
Pushing fashion into digital spaces helps generate data that is vital in efforts to move toward circular fashion. With Lablaco’s model, customers can buy both a physical fashion item and its digital “twin” designed to be collected or worn in virtual environments. The physical and digital items remain paired even after sale, so if a physical item is resold, the digital one is transferred to the new owner’s digital wallet. The item’s creator can follow its after-sales journey. Without digitizing the product, as Albrighi emphasizes, there wouldn’t be any data to analyze and understand the fashion’s impact.
The fashion industry creates roughly 92 million tons of waste annually, and it is believed that digital fashion could have a role in reducing that figure. Kuo said digital spaces could be used as a test bed for the physical world.For example, a designer could release an item of digital clothing in 10 colors in digital spaces, and use the sales data to inform which colors to use for the real-world version. This on-demand model can help reduce fashion waste. Trying on virtual clothes could also reduce the amount of clothes that are returned in the physical world. Additionally,staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the need for the fashion world to travel, thereby reducing its carbon footprint.
But for this innovation to become widespread, Albrighi says motivating brands is the key. With the phygital model, they can receive royalties (版税) when an item is sold and resold throughout its lifetime — a way to “produce less and actually earn more”.
32. What’s Albrighi and Eliana Kuo’s purpose of founding Lablaco
A. To digitize clothes and waste less.
B. To put the fashion design into practice.
C. To dominate the “phygital” fashion market.
D. To promote luxury fashion and earn more.
33. What do we know about Lablaco’s model
A. The physical and digital fashion items can be both resold.
B. The physical fashion items are paired with digital ones for sale.
C. Its product creator can check the after sales information any time.
D. Its owner would understand its impact by analyzing the data.
34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Digital spaces could be used as a test bed in the fashion industry.
B. Trying on virtual clothes could decrease the waste of fashion market.
C. Staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the fashion waste.
D. Digital fashion could help reduce the fashion waste in several ways.
35. What can we infer from the text
A. Lablaco is setting the fashion.
B. Digital fashion has entered a new age.
C. Cooperation with Lablaco will be profitable.
D. The fashion industry lacks environmental awareness.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利Lablaco公司正与时装公司和品牌合作，在日益增长的“数字化”时尚市场上将他们的服装数字化，他们希望提高服装业的可持续性，并促进循环时尚——以减少浪费的方式设计和生产服装的做法。

(通过Lablaco的模型，顾客既可以购买实体时装，也可以购买在虚拟环境中收集或穿着的数字“双胞胎”。即使在销售之后，实体商品和数字商品仍然配对，因此，如果实体商品被转售，数字商品将转移到新所有者的数字钱包中)”可知，Lablaco的实体时装与数字时装搭配出售。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The fashion industry creates roughly 92 million tons of waste annually, and it is believed that digital fashion could have a role in reducing that figure.

【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了大运河的地理位置和历史背景，然后阐述了它作为人类历史上最伟大的水利工程之一的意义和价值，最后强调了它对中国的经济繁荣和稳定所起的重要作用。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为世界上最长的人工运河，大运河是中国东北和中东部平原上的一个巨大的水路系统，北起北京，南至浙江省。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词is，所以run用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语the Grand Canal之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填running。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它从公元前5世纪开始分段建造，由于隋朝的建立，它于公元611年完工，并在元朝达到了一个新的高峰，连接了中国的五个主要河流流域。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词was completed，所以construct用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语it代指the Grand Canal之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动，位于句首首字母应大写。故填Constructed。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：它从公元前5世纪开始分段建造，由于隋朝的建立，它于公元611年完工，并在元朝达到了一个新的高峰，连接了中国的五个主要河流流域。空前是定冠词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，establish的名词形式是establishment。故填establishment。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意：最初，它是用来运输粮食的，后来用来运输其他商品。空处修饰空后整个句子，用副词修饰，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Originally。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最初，它是用来运输粮食的，后来用来运输其他商品。根据空前的and可知，空处和前文的to transport并列，所以也用不定式作目的状语。故填to ship。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意：运河沿线地区逐渐发展成为中国的贸易中心，被认为是中国古代的经济动脉。根据句意“The regions along the canal gradually developed into the trade center of China”和“it was considered as the economic artery (动脉) in ancient China.”两句，既可以理解为并列关系，也可以理解为因果关系，用and或者so连接。故填and或者so。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：它还通过加强南北之间的交流，促进了中国文化的发展。根据句意，此处表达“通过”之意，应用介词by。故填by。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意；大运河是人类水利工程历史上最伟大的杰作。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，根据句意，此处表达“最伟大的杰作”之意，用最高级。故填greatest。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它是人类创造力的杰出典范。example为可数名词，句中用的是单数，前应用不定冠词修饰，outstanding为元音音素开头，用an修饰。故填an。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：时至今日，它仍然是中国国内主要的通讯工具，在确保中国经济繁荣和稳定方面发挥了重要作用。分析句子结构可知，play作本句谓语，根据over the ages可知，用完成时，根据句意既可以用现在完成时，也可以理解“现在依旧发挥重要作用”之意，用现在完成进行时，主语it为第三人称单数。故填has played或者has been playing。

67. 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。
Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her times were not exactly impressive, but even so, he sensed there was something trying to get out. He decided to offer Shelly-Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint (短跑).
“Where did she come from ” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly-Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold.
Shelly Ann is a little woman with a big smile. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Water house, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica. Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Water house, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Water house’s roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice (牺牲) everything.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
It didn’t take long for Shelly Ann to meet her mother’s expectations.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
It didn’t take long for Shelly-Ann to meet her mother’s expectations. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008 all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, had written a new chapter in the history of sports. Shelly-Ann won gold medals at international competitions many times and she gained good fame as well as a big fortune. She completely got out of Waterhouse’s roundabout of poverty at last.
But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighborhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world. A desire, a dream, a vision deep inside the heart determines Shelly’s success.

This month I finally lived my dream: I visited behind the scenes at Disneyland, “the happiest place on Earth.” Watching thousands of smiling employees rushing, around the park, completely absorbed in their work, I suddenly understood the magic behind the park and why joy had escaped me for so long.
When I was younger, I tried to pursue happiness directly by creating as many happy moments as I could. However, no matter how many happy moments I had, they could not protect me from sadness. The sadness would unexpectedly arise when it shouldn’t when I was with friends or family, when I had achieved success, and when I tried to create art. It was the persistence (持续) of this sadness that finally made me realize the truth: the Happy/Sad model was wrong.
I updated my mental model to the Pleasure/Pain model. I saw that what I had called happiness was simply emotional pleasure, which was anything that confirmed the way I saw myself and the world. As I removed emotionally and physically painful moments from my life, I established a mental image of myself as a “happy person.” However, I was stuck in a one-dimensional emotional world.
Wandering down the 19th street and waving to the 100th friendly costumed character, I finally found the words that completed my third model — Joy/Fear, one that gives real depth to life. Disneyland, with its immersive (沉浸式的) world and perfect performances, goes beyond creating happiness and lessening pain. It is carefully getting rid of fear. It removes the possibility of anything going wrong, of disappointing us. And behind the scenes, Disneyland works tirelessly to ensure that everything always run the way it should.
Life is not Disneyland, however. Try as we might, we can’t control the world around us or completely erase our fearful moments. But we can control how we approach life and how we understand our fears. And in the absence of that fear, joy arises.
24. What gives the author a deep insight into happiness at Disneyland
A. The beautiful scenes of Disneyland.
B. The relaxing working environment.
C. The smiling and committed staff.
D. The magical life principle.
25. The author was unhappy when younger because he/she __________.
A. had no close friends
B. didn’t get along well with family
C. achieved no success in the art creation
D. misunderstood the true meaning of happiness
26. What does the author think of his/her second mental model
A. It is entirely subjective.
B. It gives real depth to life.
C. It focuses on temporary joy.
D. It highlights the external state.
27. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Disneyland is a magical and joyful place.
B. Emotional pleasure is the key to happiness.
C. Fear is inevitable for all of us in the whole life.
D. Approaching life with devotion brings genuine joy.
C
Most animals are active around people, which makes observing them in the wild a challenging effort for researchers. The issue is worsened with naturally shy creatures like emperor penguins (企鹅), who show signs of physical sorrow in front of humans.
The French scientist Le Maho and his team began a project to test if sending tiny robots to collect the required information would affect the penguins as harmfully. They began by fitting 34 emperor penguins with outside heart rate monitors, which could be read from a distance of 60 centimeters. They then sent a simple, four wheeled robot into a place of hatching penguins that were stationary because they were using their legs to protect eggs.
Though the penguins were a little alarmed and even cried, they did allow the robot to read their heart monitors. Even more encouraging was the fact that as soon as the robot stopped moving, the penguins' heart rates returned to normal, much more rapidly than when humans entered the place.
However, for the extremely shy emperor penguins it was still too disturbing. After some discussions, their first attempt failed terribly. Fortunately, the scientists decided to try to cover the robot as a penguin chick for Le Maho's team, a British production company working on a news film, and it was also trying getting into the penguin place using secret cameras. The two worked together to create a lovely chick robot that the emperor penguins immediately considered as one of their own.
Covered in soft fuzz (绒毛) just like a real baby emperor penguin, it is so believable that the chicks gather around it, just as they do with each other. The penguins not only accept the robot, but they even sing to it, and appear a little disappointed when the “chick” doesn't respond—an error the scientists plan to correct with the next group of robot penguins. Not surprisingly, the penguins show almost no stress as the lovely “spy” walks around the place, gathering all kinds of information about their day-to-day lives.
28. Once humans approach emperor penguins, they tend to .
A. show their shyness B. feel disturbed and sad
C. take action more actively D. dive into the sea right away
29. What does the underlined word “stationary” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Still. B. Strong. C. Hungry. D. Dynamic.
30. What is the advantage of the chick robot compared with the four wheeled robot
A. It has two creative working teams.
B. It has made less errors in gathering information.
C. It is more believable to get close to the real penguins.
D. It is more capable of communicating with the real penguins.
31. What will the scientists do with the next group of robot penguins
A. Fix new heart monitors to get accurate heart rates.
B. Develop their audio system and get them to sing.
C. Change their looks and make them look more lovely.
D. Improve the technique to restore their communicative function.
D
Italian company Lablaco is working with fashion houses and brands to digitize their clothes in the growing “phygital” fashion market. Lablaco was founded in 2016 by Lorenzo Albrighi and Eliana Kuo, who both had backgrounds in luxury fashion. They were looking to improve the industry’s sustainability and promote circular fashion — the practice of designing and producing clothes in a way that reduces waste.
Pushing fashion into digital spaces helps generate data that is vital in efforts to move toward circular fashion. With Lablaco’s model, customers can buy both a physical fashion item and its digital “twin” designed to be collected or worn in virtual environments. The physical and digital items remain paired even after sale, so if a physical item is resold, the digital one is transferred to the new owner’s digital wallet. The item’s creator can follow its after-sales journey. Without digitizing the product, as Albrighi emphasizes, there wouldn’t be any data to analyze and understand the fashion’s impact.
The fashion industry creates roughly 92 million tons of waste annually, and it is believed that digital fashion could have a role in reducing that figure. Kuo said digital spaces could be used as a test bed for the physical world.For example, a designer could release an item of digital clothing in 10 colors in digital spaces, and use the sales data to inform which colors to use for the real-world version. This on-demand model can help reduce fashion waste. Trying on virtual clothes could also reduce the amount of clothes that are returned in the physical world. Additionally,staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the need for the fashion world to travel, thereby reducing its carbon footprint.
But for this innovation to become widespread, Albrighi says motivating brands is the key. With the phygital model, they can receive royalties (版税) when an item is sold and resold throughout its lifetime — a way to “produce less and actually earn more”.
32. What’s Albrighi and Eliana Kuo’s purpose of founding Lablaco
A. To digitize clothes and waste less.
B. To put the fashion design into practice.
C. To dominate the “phygital” fashion market.
D. To promote luxury fashion and earn more.
33. What do we know about Lablaco’s model
A. The physical and digital fashion items can be both resold.
B. The physical fashion items are paired with digital ones for sale.
C. Its product creator can check the after sales information any time.
D. Its owner would understand its impact by analyzing the data.
34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Digital spaces could be used as a test bed in the fashion industry.
B. Trying on virtual clothes could decrease the waste of fashion market.
C. Staging fashion shows in virtual spaces reduces the fashion waste.
D. Digital fashion could help reduce the fashion waste in several ways.
35. What can we infer from the text
A. Lablaco is setting the fashion.
B. Digital fashion has entered a new age.
C. Cooperation with Lablaco will be profitable.
D. The fashion industry lacks environmental awareness.

67. 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。
Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her times were not exactly impressive, but even so, he sensed there was something trying to get out. He decided to offer Shelly-Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint (短跑).
“Where did she come from ” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly-Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold.
Shelly Ann is a little woman with a big smile. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Water house one of the poorest communities in Jamaica. Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Water house, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Water house’s roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice (牺牲) everything.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
It didn’t take long for Shelly Ann to meet her mother’s expectations.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But Shelly Ann’s victory was far greater than that.
