The Ministry of Education and three other ministries have jointly issued a notice about launching a national campaign on short-sightedness prevention and control to protect children's eyesight.
A paragraph in the notice says that primary and secondary school students should engage in appropriate outdoor activities during class breaks. Additionally, 30 minutes of physical activity during the daily midmorning break will be organized to give students more time to engage in outdoor activities and long-distance viewing, enabling their eyes to rest fully from visual fatigue.
Midmorning breaks can address more than just vision problems. Physical activity during breaks help children to not only exercise but also reduce stress, making subsequent classroom learning more focused and effective. At the same time, midmorning physical activities provide children a platform to engage in social activities, strengthening their social adaptation abilities.
Sometime toward the end of 2023 there was a huge demand after some schools did away with even 10-minute breaks for primary and secondary school students. The Ministry of Education responded by saying that it would further regulate activities in schools. Before the latest notice was introduced, several related policies had been guaranteeing midmorning physical activity for primary and secondary school students, which have now been implemented in many cities, showing good results.
To effectively utilize(利用) the 30-minute midmorning break, teachers play an essential role because they can enrich the activities to the maximum extent by combining the interests and hobbies of children of different age groups and adding various sports activities that will benefit children the most. At the same time, it should be clear that the midmorning break is not only the responsibility of physical education teachers. It requires joint efforts from physical education teachers, class teachers and other staff members to ensure the breaks are used effectively.
To make the most of the 30-minute midmorning break, it is also crucial to stimulate the enthusiasm of children. Innovating the form and content of the midmorning break and mobilizing children’s enthusiasm and initiative to participate in midmorning activities are urgent priorities.
What do the underlined word “ fatigue” mean in paragraph 2
Failure. B. Disability. C. Loss. D. Tiredness.
25. Which of the following is true according to the last two paragraphs
A. Midmorning activities should appeal to children.
B. Children should be forced to engage in midmorning activities.
C. Midmorning activities should be restricted to traditional sports.
D. Physical education teachers should take full charge of the the midmorning break.
26. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Children Should Participate in More Activities
B. Midmorning Break Should Be Extended to 30 Minutes
C. Kids Should Have a Better Break for Eyesight Protection
D. Physical Activities Should Be Organized for Children’s Health
C
When you go running in the woods in your running tights, elastane (氨纶) is the reason why they fit you so comfortably. Elastane is an elastic material that allows the fabric to stretch and adapt to your body.
But when elastane fibres are mixed with cotton, wool, nylon or other fibres, as is the case in many clothes today, the clothes become almost impossible to recycle. It is extremely difficult to separate out the different fibres, and therefore the materials in the clothes cannot be recycled.
But this may change, says Assistant Professor Steffan Kvist Kristensen from the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center at Aarhus University. Together with a number of colleagues, he is behind a new technology that can separate out fibres in mixed fabrics.
“ We’ve developed a method to remove elastane completely from nylon. We’re not quite there yet with cotton, because some of the cotton fibres are broken down in the process. But we believe that, with some minor adjustments, we can solve this problem,” he says.
It is not easy to separate elastane and other fibres once they have been woven(编织) together. Clothes are made by winding the main fibres, such as nylon or cotton, around the elastane fibres, which consist of long chains of molecules (分子). The fibres only break apart if we break the long chains of molecules, explains Steffan Kvist Kristensen.
By heating the clothes to 225 degrees Celsius and adding a specific alcohol, the researchers have found a method to break down the bonds in elastane chain. When this happens, the chains fall apart and the materials separate. “ The whole process takes place in what is in effect a large pressure cooker that we feed the clothes into. We then add a little alcohol and a potassium hydroxide(氢氧化钾) base and heat it up. Then we let it cook for just over four hours, and when we open the lid again, the different fibres will have been separated.” says Steffan Kvist Kristensen.
So far, Steffan Kvist Kristensen and his colleagues have only experimented with two nylon stockings at a time. The technology is therefore not yet ready for application at industrial scale.
27. What can we learn about elastane from the passage
A. It is an eco-friendly material.
B. It is a kind of stretchable fabric.
C. It makes the clothes far from recycling.
D. It is made up of short chains of molecules.
28. Why is a pressure cooker used in the experiment according to the text
A．To separate more fibres.
B．To reduce the heating time.
C．To increase the temperature to 225℃.
D．To ensure the safety of the experiment.
29. What can be inferred about this new technology
A．It can separate all sorts of fibres.
B．It needs plenty of energy to work.
C．There is a long way before it is widely used.
D．There is no possibility to separate elastane from cotton.
30. What is Steffan Kvist Kristensen’s attitude to this new technology
A．Satisfied. B．Confident.
C．Critical. D．Unclear.
第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why is having to wait for news so difficult One reason why waiting can be so hard is that often the outcome of whatever we are waiting for determines our next steps. If we get the answers we are hoping for, we celebrate and keep moving forward. 31
Thus, having to wait is hard for practical reasons. Often there are changes we need to make depending on the outcome. 32 If we know what to expect, we can well prepare for it, and most likely get by okay. If we are uncertain about what’s to come, we are less likely to thrive(茁壮成长), let alone survive. So wanting certainty is built into our blood and bones.
How can we wait with calmness
1. Meditate(冥想). Finding a form of meditation that speaks to you can be helpful in offsetting the stress of not knowing. In one study, researchers found evidence that mindfulness was helpful in ease the stress of waiting.
2. Do things that cause your flow experience. 33 Being in your flow can be calming, grounding, and rewarding. It also helps us remember that life goes on, even as we wait.
3. Limit how often you check your phone or email for an answer. Constant checking is exhausting, and when we fall into habitual checking, it becomes a vicious cycle(恶性循环) of checking, disappointment, and more checking. Check your email on a schedule. Set boundaries around where you check. 34 Setting such a limit can be a helpful fence in limiting the number of times you check.
4. 35 Write down some words that help with increasing hope and a belief in a positive outcome. Say them out loud, then record yourself saying them, and watch your video as a reminder. This can help remove worry and keep you feeling optimistic.
Start over in some capacity.
Make a list of encouragement.
Waiting is also hard because people long for certainty.
The need to know is adaptive and built into our drive to survive.
Activities that are require your complete focus help you achieve a flow state.
One idea might be to only check your email on your computer, not your phone.
If we receive news that is unwelcome or unwanted, we process the loss and disappointment and reroute.

Sarah, a high school student, had a great passion for baking. With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell.
On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,’ she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face.
A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story.

Paragraph 1:
Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out. Every Saturday, as Sarah saw Mrs. Wilson, she would treat Mrs. Wilson to her desserts generously and chat with Mrs. Wilson in order to comfort the elderly woman and make Mrs. Wilson feel she was cared about. Influenced by Sarah’s kindness, Mrs. Wilson gradually worked through her sorrow. While enjoying Sarah’s desserts, Mrs. Wilson shared her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Sarah and offered her tips on opening a bakery after knowing Sarah’s dream.
Paragraph 2:
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. Sarah’s small table was not merely a place to desserts; it turned into a symbol of caring for the elderly. Mrs. Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends, whose company helped her get out of loneliness. Assisted by Mrs. Wilson, the small table has grown into a shop. Sarah’s bakery has been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, who are attracted by both the lovely smell and the moving story.
