Keeping a language alive can strengthen people’s sense of identity and most importantly lead to the preservation of a whole culture. This is probably why a group of Cherokee music artists decided to create a music album (唱片) exclusively in the Cherokee language, a highly endangered Native American language. Currently, there are fewer than 2,000 fluent speakers of the language remaining in the world, and the number is declining every year.
The album, tilted DOAP oaV and pronounced ‘Ah’ ‘Nuh’ ‘Duh’ ‘Nah’ ‘Lees’ ‘Gi’, means “Performers” in English. It is comprised of a range of contemporary styles, including Pop, Reggae, Country, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop, and Folk. With a planned release date of Labor Day weekend, the record company is using the platform of the National Cherokee Holiday to give this album as much exposure as possible.
Jeremy Charles, a key figure in getting this album off the ground, has said that the “music will shine a spotlight on Cherokee artists and speakers, and increase exposure to our culture and language worldwide”. He aims for the album to be an inspiration to the next generation of Cherokee language learners. Featuring 12 Cherokee artists ranging from ages 14 to 50, you can see how this album is going to do a lot for the promotion of Cherokee music and can inspire people of any age to make music that connects with their heritage (遗产).
The youngest contributor on the album, Lillian Charles, is only in 8th grade but had a major contribution to the Goth-pop song “Circus”—a song she wrote at the age of 12. It originally written in English, she worked with translators Bobbie Smith and Kathy Sierra to be able to fully express herself in Cherokee.
Projects like the DOOAP oaV album bring a modern approach to revitalizing language and culture and encourage a younger audience, to get involved and start learning the Cherokee language. On average, a native language is lost forever every two weeks, and these people want to make sure that the Cherokee language isn’t one of them.
24. What can we learn about the album from paragraph 2
A. It has various musical styles.
B. It is titled Performers in English.
C. It sings high praise of Labor Day.
D It was exposed to the public by chance.
25. What’s Jeremy Charles’s expectation of the album
A. It will make a huge profit for the record company.
B. It can help the 12 artists rise to fame overnight.
C. It will satisfy the fans’ demand for pop music.
D. It can fuel the youth’s interest in Cherokee language.
26. Which can best replace the underlined word “revitalizing” in the last paragraph
A. Translating. B. Reviewing. C. Restoring. D. Creating.
27. What’s the best title of the text
A. Alarming! The Cherokee Language is Dying
B. Amazing! An 8th Grader is Releasing an Album
C. Bringing Music to Life with Modern Technology
D. Preserving a Language Through the Power of Music
C
What is the 15-minute city It’s the urban planning concept that everything city residents need should be a short walk or bike ride away—about 15 minutes from home to work, shopping, entertainment, restaurants, schools, parks and health care. Supporters argue that 15-minute cities are healthier for residents and the environment, creating united mini-communities, boosting local businesses, and encouraging people to get outside,walk, and cycle.
Many cities across Europe offer similar ideas, but Paris has become its poster child. Mayor Anne Hidalgo has sought to fight climate change by decreasing choking traffic in the streets and fuel emissions. In 2015, Paris was 17th on the list of bike-friendly cities; by 2019, it was 8th. Car ownership, meanwhile, dropped from 60 percent of house holds in 2001 to 35 percent in 2019. The 15-minute city figured largely in Hidalgo’s successful 2020 re-election campaign. The idea has also gained support in the U.S.
It clearly won’t work everywhere: Not every city is as centralized and walkable as Paris. Some car-dominated cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix would be hard-pressed to provide everything people need within walking distance. In addition, some urban planners argue that the 15-minute city could increase the separation of neighborhoods by income. Neighborhoods equipped with all the conveniences required by the 15-minute city also tend to have high housing costs and wealthier residents.
Despite some resistance, the basic principles behind the 15-minute city are influencing planning in cities around the world, including Melbourne, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Singapore, and Shanghai. Urban designer and thinker Jay Pitter says cities where basic needs are within walking distance create more individual freedom than needing to drive every where. “In a city where services are always close by,” he says, “mobility is a choice: You go where you want because you want to, not because you have to. My fight is not against the car. My fight is how we could improve the quality of life.”
28. Which best describes the 15-minute city
A. Modern. B. Convenient. C. Entertaining. D. Smart.
29. What’s the original intention for Paris to advocate the 15-minute city
A. To address climate issues. B. To beautify the city.
C. To promote the bike industry. D. To help Hidalgo get re-elected.
30. What’s some urban planners’ worry about the 15-minute city
A. It slows the city’s expansion.
B. It represents a setback for society.
C. It may widen the gap between neighborhoods.
D. It can cause the specialization of neighborhoods.
31. What’s Jay Pitter’s attitude to the concept of 15-minute city
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Critical. D. Uninterested.
D
Thousands of years have passed since humans discovered silk, but scientists are still finding new uses for this remarkable material. Now researchers say it could help tackle a growing environmental and health concern: Micro-plastics.
Micro-plastics that are now found worldwide are increasingly recognized as a serious pollution threat, and have been found in the bloodstream of animals and people. Some of these micro plastics are intentionally added to a variety of products to generally protect some specific active components from being degraded by exposure to air. For example, vitamins are often delivered in the form of micro capsules packed into a pill or capsule,and herbicides(除草剂)are similarly enveloped. But the materials used today for such micro-encapsulation are plastics that stay in the environment for a long time. To date, there has been no practical, economical alternative available that would biodegrade naturally.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and chemical company BASF developed a silk-based biodegradable alternative to these capsules.
Silk is recognized as safe for food or medical use as it degrades naturally in the body. The silk protein used in the new alternative material is widely available and inexpensive and the silk fibers can simply be dissolved(溶解), lead researcher Benedetto Marelli says. Besides, the processing is so simple and tun-able that the resulting material can be adapted to work on existing manufacturing equipment.
Replacing non-biodegradable micro-capsules with silk might not work in every case,but given the current and future challenges related to food insecurity, agricultural production, and a changing climate, the silk-based material is of great importance. Products using silk-based micro-capsules are expected to be commercially available in a few years. And the researchers will next try encapsulating active components that could require a different manufacturing approach, such as those that must remain in liquid or gas forms.
32. What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A. Removing plastic pollution is a piece of cake.
B. Micro-plastics can degrade quickly and naturally.
C. Micro-plastics have become a severe pollution threat.
D. Developing an alternative for micro-plastics is urgent.
33. What’s the major concern of researchers choosing silk as an alternative
A. It is economical. B. It is biodegradable.
C. It is widely available. D. It is skin-friendly.
34. What’s the last paragraph mainly about concerning the silk-based material
A. Its promising future. B. Its marketing method.
C. Its existing limitations. D. Its making approach.
35. In which part of a magazine can the passage probably be found
A. Climate. B. Agriculture. C. Technology Advances. D. Health Guidelines.
三、七选五
Growing plants is often seen as a very “green” thing to do, but like many products, they take a huge amount of energy to produce.____36____For example, they use geothermal(地热的) energy to heat greenhouses and solar power to supply electricity and lighting. While domestic growing doesn’t involve the same carbon footprint as commercial growing, it’s important to consider what we can all do to minimize our own impact while still enjoying growing plants.
Over-consumption of plants is a big issue. It’s so easy to get overexcited when you see all these incredible plants, and you can end up carrying home huge numbers of them.____37____ The more plants you have, the more limited your time and resources become, and plants can suffer. This leads to another issue-many people may end up throwing away their plants which don’t look perfect or stop flowering, in a similar way to the world of fast fashion. ____38____.
If you are ready and able to increase your collection, propagate(繁殖) from your own plants rather than buying more, and share plants with others. ____39____Meanwhile, we can build a community of like-minded, passionate plant people.
Recycling takes a huge amount of input, which can end up more damaging to the environment, so instead of buying something of lower quality that needs replacing every year, buy fewer things of a higher quality. ____40____And they can be passed down the generations.
A. But large collections call for an enormous amount of work.
B. Many commercial growers continue to market their produce.
C. This removes the need to buy plants and encourages a sharing culture.
D. These will last many years and be more cost-effective in the long term.
E. So it’s important to assess your collection and buy plants you have time to look after.
F. Throwing them away will greatly reduce your gardening footprint on the environment.
G. Many large-scale growers have used technology to minimize their impact on the environment.

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。
I was in my room, feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with "my brother" Henry. He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.
“Kirstie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. "Henry's book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there " She glared at me, something she had never done before Henry came to our home. I hadn't wet his book on purpose. Rain-
drops fell from my eyes. To make matters worse, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached.
Henry was stealing my mother's love. He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile, Henry was nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结), something
he liked to do. Why did a boy like him like doing girly work It seemed far from manly（男子汉气概）.
Soon, it was time to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, "It will be Henry's first time onstage. Be kind to him, honey." I nodded but sighed. I hadn't always found it this difficult to be kind. But since Henry had moved in, everything felt
different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn't seem
so special any more.
Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring on my skirt.
Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. I could hear the audience laughing. Even though I was wearing shorts
under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out.
续写要求：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para.1:Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para.2:After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
