Fashion always influences people. Isabella Springmuhl Tejada from Guatemala, one of the first professional fashion designers with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), is proving that fashion goes beyond normal limits.
Tejada who discovered her hobby in childhood said, “I think that fashion design is in my blood.” After all, her grandmother had a studio where she produced Guatemalan-style clothing.And, when she was young, Tejada’s mother gave her fashion magazines to read. Tejada spent hours of her childhood reading the magazines and designing paper dresses for her dolls. By the time she reached high school, Tejada had decided to enter the world.
After being refused by several fashion schools because of her Down syndrome, Tejada found her own path. She signed up for a clothing-making course, where she began to make clothing for “worry dolls”, finger-sized traditional Guatemalan dolls. And she created life-sized dolls and dressed them in the colorful clothes that she’s now famous for. This design experience greatly helped Tejada. She fell in love with traditional Guatemalan patterns and colors. She explained, “I’m lucky to work with traditional cloth, inspired by our culture and representing our country.”
Tejada also pioneered fashion design for people with Down syndrome. She said, “It is difficult for people like me to find suitable clothes. We can be shorter or weaker. That’s why I decided to design clothes that would be perfect for people with Down syndrome.”
Tejada has created her brand, Down to Xjabelle. The new brand took off right away. It made it all the way to London Fashion Week. And the great designer has plans for the future as well. Tejada said, “I want people all over the world to know my designs and to know that people with Down syndrome can do what they set out to do. I want to be able to live on my own.”
24．What awakened Tejada’s love for fashion design
A．Her family’s strong influence. B．Her visit to a design school.
C．Her efforts to fight her disease. D．Her work experience in a famous company.
25．What effect did designing clothes for dolls have on Tejada
A．It proved her ability to run a business. B．It increased her interest in traditional design styles.
C．It strengthened her wish to travel around the world. D．It inspired her to learn about different cultures.
26．What does Tejada want to convey through her words in the last paragraph
A．Her illness has been successfully cured. B．She won’t let her disability limit her.
C．Her brand is facing serious competition. D．She can’t please normal customers with her design ideas.
27．What may be the best title for the text

C．A Special Designer Turns Her Dream into Reality D．Develop a Hobby from an Early Age

It has always been assumed that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar has revealed that plants suffer too.
That plants can be damaged indirectly by noise pollution has never been in doubt. Since most flowering species depend upon pollinators (授粉者) and most fruit-bearing species need animals to spread around their seeds, it is obvious that if these animal partners are harmed by noise then their botanical counterparts will do badly, too. What has remained unknown is whether or not plants themselves suffer directly from noise pollution.
Scientists have previously assumed that plants may be able to sense sound waves as they are struck by them. A number of experiments have confirmed this in recent years-plants heavily exposed to ultrasound (超声波) in the lab have shown a range of negative responses including the expression of stress-related genes, slowed growth and reduced development of seeds.
Yet attacking plants with ultrasound is not the same as growing them in the presence of actual traffic noise. To this end, Ali Akbar decided to set up an experiment to study precisely this question.
Working with a team of colleagues, he grew marigolds (孔雀草) and sage (鼠尾草) in his lab that are commonly found in urban environments. The plants were divided into two groups after getting mature. One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.
None of the plants exposed to the traffic noise did well. Analysis of their leaves revealed that all of them were suffering. The team found that a range of hormones (荷尔蒙) normally associated with health y growth and development in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise. Two stress hormones, which are normally produced to prevent insect attacks and deal with salty soil or very cold temperatures, were elevated.
Ali Akbar’s findings make it clear that though plants lack ears, the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to trigger dramatic stress responses that are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to drought, highly concentrated salt or heavy metals in their soil.
The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way. The natural world is by no means silent, and it is apparent that not all plants suffer from noise pollution. Whether some plant species have evolved coping mechanisms, which might one day be collected and transferred into urban-living species, is a mystery worth exploring.
28．What did scientists believe in the past
A．Noise is a problem directly facing both animals and plants.
B．Plants can be affected by noise in an indirect way.
C．Animal partners can do harm to their botanical partners.
D．Sound waves can damage plants because they have senses.
29．What did Ali Akbar want to confirm in their experiment
A．Ultrasound is similar to traffic noise in that it doesn’t harm plants.
B．Plants exposed to ultrasound exhibit negative signs of growth.
C．Traffic noise causes plants to grow unhealthily and slowly.
D．Plant leaves contain hormones dealing with a harsh environment.
30．Which of the following statements is true
A．Plants growing in silence have a reduced level of hormones.
B．Plants exposed to noise respond differently from those in drought.
C．Different noise pollution has the same effect on all species.
D．An increase in stress hormones in plants means they are in hardship.
31．What can we infer from the passage
A．Some plants might not necessarily be harmed by the sound in nature.
B．Some plants have surely developed a method to cope with traffic noise.
C．Urban-living species can be engineered to grow well in the natural world.
D．The silence in nature promotes the development of noise coping mechanisms.
D
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (EdTech) has brought incomparable convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy (自主权) and professional judgment of instructors.
One of its primary concerns is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods. Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as study aids. However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of their learning outcomes.
The implications of this depersonalization and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching. By decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should not only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a crucial role in developing these essential skills.
While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customize their approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology.
32．What do the underlined words “the depersonalization of instruction” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Tailored methods for individuals. B．Instructors’ dependence on AI.
C．Insufficient resources of AI-driven tools. D．The one-size-fits-all approach.
33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．A possible solution. B．A further problem.
C．A well-meant intention. D．A suggested application.
34．In what aspect do students suffer most with AI-driven EdTech education
A．Thinking skills. B．Teamwork building.
C．Interest development. D．Knowledge acquisition.
35．What is conveyed about AI-driven EdTech tools in the last paragraph
A．They should be used widely. B．Their benefits deserve our attention.
C．Their resources need enriching. D．They should support instructor autonomy.

As an author and journalist, I recognize how lucky I am to be following my childhood ambitions, but I would be lying if I said there aren’t regular periods when that passion weakens. 36 Losing the spark for work may be a sign that you need to change careers, but such an extreme move is not always possible. Fortunately, recent studies show some practical strategies to reignite their passion and motivation.
Hold the belief that one’s passion can be developed. According to a study by Patricia Chen, people’s mindsets fall into two main parts. The fit-theorists believe there is a job fit for every individual and finding the right job determines one’s happiness and success at work. 37 They believe that passion is developed through a learning process within any chosen job.
Set small achievable goals. Chen’s findings agree with other psychological researches. These studies suggest a few other ways of regaining your passion. One of the most useful techniques is “proximal (近端) goal setting”. This is particularly useful when you feel overwhelmed with a new big project, in which the challenge is so great, and the reward so distant that you struggle to re start the fire. 38 Then they are much quicker to complete, allowing you to enjoy the warm feeling of satisfaction when you tick them off your plan.
39 Taking some time to think about our overall goals, looking for the benefits that our work is providing for others, reaching out to inspirational colleagues and setting out a plan with small rewards—these are simple actions that we could all take to boost our enthusiasm.
Take up a hobby. This could also give you a sense of purpose and achievement, so that your job is not the only place to find satisfaction in your life. 40
A．The develop-theorists, in contrast, think differently.
B．Weigh up the pros and cons.
C．Take action.
D．It can undoubtedly cheer you up when work is just work.
E．To apply this technique, you would split the project into bite-sized tasks.
F．Many people are losing their enthusiasm for the careers they once loved.
G．Setting a distant target to struggle to achieve can offer you a greater reward.

Do you sometimes ignore your mom while chatting with friends If you’re a teen, that’s fairly 41 . And new researches may explain why so many adolescents 42 their mom’s voices.
Young kids’ brains are very tuned in to their mothers’ voices. But as they grow up, everything 43 . Teenagers’ brains are more tuned in to strangers’ voices. This obvious 44 usually happens between ages 13 and 14. That’s when teenagers are in the course of puberty (青春期), a roughly decade-long transition into adulthood.
Researchers scanned the brains of 7 to 16-year-olds as they listened to things said by their mothers or by unfamiliar women. The words were purely 45 : teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt. As the kids listened, certain parts of their brains became 46 . This was especially true in brain regions that help us to 47 rewards and pay attention. That’s exactly as it should be. The experiments show that those parts of their brains react more strongly to the unfamiliar voices than to their mothers’.
These areas in the adolescent brains don’t stop 48 mom. It’s just that unfamiliar voices become more rewarding and worthy of attention. “As kids 49 , their survival depends less and less on maternal support. 50 , they rely more and more on their 51 —friends and others closer to their own age. So the brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world. The brain seems to 52 new needs that come with adolescence.”
However, mothers’ voices still have special power, especially in times of 53 . Studies also showed that levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙) 54 when stressed-out girls heard their moms’ voices on the phone.
So while both teens and their parents sometimes feel frustrated by missed messages, that’s okay. “That’s the way the 55 is wired, and there’s a good reason for it.”

Jean’s dream was to be a great chef, so when she was 20, she travelled to France, which has the most famous cuisine in the world, to learn to cook. After twelve years, she was among the best.
Her father, Bob, was getting old, and she wanted to be near him. Jean accepted an offer from one of Washington’s top restaurants. The manager offered her a handsome salary, and 30% ownership of the restaurant. The next day, Jean went to sign the contract. As she got out of the car, she caught sight of a green sunshade. Instead of going to meet the manager, she crossed the street towards the old restaurant, Fargonetti’s. She pushed open the door and the memories came flooding back.
Jean’s mum died when she was just 11, and her father lost his job and was forced to take on odd jobs to make ends meet. Money was very short. When Jean turned thirteen, Bob had made a reservation at Fargonetti’s, the capital’s best restaurant.
“I’m not hungry, baby girl. I had a huge breakfast,” Bob said. “This is all for you!” “Oh,” Jean cried. “Daddy was so silly! He’s been saving to come here for lunch for MONTHS and now he ruined his appetite with breakfast!”The waiter, Carl Bader, immediately realized what was going on and went to Mr. Fargonetti, the restaurant owner, and told him about Jean and Bob.
An hour later, surprisingly, the waiter brought wonderful dishes and set them before the father and daughter. “Lunch is on the house with Mr. Fargonetti’s goodwill,” Carl said. For Bob and Jean, it was a free but magical meal. They were on cloud nine when they walked out. “Jean,” said Bob happily. “I feel our luck has changed!” And it did! The next day, one of Bob’s old friends called and offered him a job at a new magazine, and Jean believed Fargonetti’s had made it all happen. That was when she decided to become a chef!
Twenty years later, the old restaurant looked run-down and depressing, but Jean recognized the waiter immediately. “Carl ” she asked delightedly.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The man looked surprised. Jean was staring at Carl and a brilliant idea was taking shape in her mind.

参考范文
The man looked surprised. “Yes, ma’am,” he said. “How may I help you ” “Twenty years ago I came here for my thirteenth birthday,” Jean explained. “You spoke to Mr. Fargonetti and he gave us a wonderful lunch for free. I’m so glad to have an opportunity to thank you!” Carl smiled, remembering Jean. He told Jean that Mr Fargonetti passed away five years ago, and he left Carl the restaurant. Carl had promised he would keep it going, and he tried, but it wasn’t that easy. Their chef left and the replacement was a disaster.
Jean was staring at Carl and a brilliant idea was taking shape in her mind. “I’m a chef. I’m Jean Earl,” she said. “I’ll turn Fargonetti’s around! Let’s do it for Mr Fargonetti!” Carl stared at Jean in disbelief. He knew of Jean’s reputation and was concerned he couldn’t afford her services. However, Jean simply wanted to help without any expectation of payment. She turned down the contract she had been offered, choosing instead to work at Fargonetti’s. Within a year, the old restaurant was fully booked, with celebrities eagerly waiting for a table. A simple act of kindness has the power to transform lives, bringing not only good fortune to the giver but also creating a ripple effect that enriches the lives of those who receive it.

W: I’m afraid I agree with her. What she said is right and you have to prove yourself to your boss. You just started it two weeks ago. You’ll feel better in another one or two weeks.
M: So you’re taking her side.
W: I just don’t think you are reasonable. Every position counts. You should do what your boss asked you to do and show respect to both your boss and your work.
M: Maybe you’re right. What should I do to make things better
W: Why don’t you say sorry to your boss when you go to work on Saturday and make a new start I’m sure she’ll give you a second chance.

Thank you for inviting me to talk about my experiences of arrow shooting training. The training is generally held in a variety of places, depending on the weather. In winter, many people use a large gym. I was happy that mine was in the field they use in summer, though I supposed the woods would be the perfect setting. There was so much to learn. It was far harder than I’d imagined to stand in the right way, but grasped how to hold the bow correctly quickly. I was also taught to place the arrows in exactly the right position of the bow. There were some books that show us how to improve to look through. Some people took the opportunity to search online, but I preferred to talk with other members of the group, whose ideas sometimes were useful. I asked some people how they knew about the training. I’d imagined they had read about it on a website. But in fact, they saw it in the local newspaper and that was also how I learned about it. The training was advertised on local radio too, but none of us had heard about it that way. I hope you will consider taking arrow shooting up. It is a great leisure activity.
