In a working-class neighborhood on the south side of El Paso, the tap, tap, tap of Jose Contreras’ hammer (锤子) echoes from inside the blue warehouse on Cotton Street. Nearby, Victor Rodriguez narrows his eyes as he gently moves one side of a boot top beneath the needle of an antique Singer sewing machine, creating a flame-shaped stitch (针脚) in clean white thread.
“These guys are some of the best in the world,” says Joey Sanchez, owner of the boot company CABOOTS, whose family has employed Contreras and Rodriguez for more than 30 years. But when he looks around the tiny shop on Cotton Street, he can’t help but remember the way it used to be. “When I was a kid, this place was loaded with bootmakers.” he says, recalling the noise created by their hammers, sanders, and sewing machines.
Today, Contreras and Rodriguez aren’t just the only bootmakers in the shop — even in their early 60s, they’re among the youngest bootmakers left in the business. There’s a name for craftsmen like them, according to Sanchez. Agujas de oro, or Golden Needles, are artisans who still know how to make boots the old-fashioned way. Many have been doing it since they were kids, growing up near the United States-Mexico border.
As big boot companies turned to technology to streamline production and reduce costs, producers in El Paso — where celebrities like Taylor Swift still arrive to pick out their flashy footwear — are struggling to replace these artisans when they retire or pass away. In fact, Agujas de oro are in such high demand around the Texas border town that many of them work at more than one shop.
“Shoemakers are a dying group,” Jose Sanchez says, nodding toward Rodriguez and Contreras, each preoccupied by the bit of leather in their hands. “You just can’t find guys like these anymore. All the stuff they do by hand, other people do with machines. But machines just don’t do it as well.”
4．What is the main purpose of the second paragraph
A．To highlight the decline of bootmaking. B．To introduce Joey Sanchez’s childhood.
C．To showcase bootmaking techniques. D．To describe the work environment.
5．Why are Contreras and Rodriguez called “among the youngest” in their field
A．They adopted new techniques. B．They started boot-making late
C．Most artisans have retired or died. D．The boot shop hired senior craftsmen.
6．What makes Agujas de oro highly valued
A．Their reliance on mass production. B．Their contribution to reduced costs.
C．Their preference for famous clients. D．Their commitment to traditional skills.
7．What is Jose Sanchez’s attitude towards the future of shoemakers
A．Hopeful. B．Pessimistic. C．Excited. D．Unconcerned.
People have been enjoying staring out of the window of the plane for a spectacular view for over a century. That’s why you may be surprised to learn that for decades, aircraft designers have been considering planes with video screens instead of passenger windows.
In 2014, for example, the UK-based Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) uncovered a design for such a windowless airliner. In 2022, Dubai-based airline Emirates released Boeing 777s equipped with “virtual windows”. But Emirates has no plan for a windowless airliner.
However, an aircraft producer does aim to go windowless. For the past few years, a privately owned Boston-based company, Spike Aerospace, has been working to develop the Spike S-512, an 18-passenger business jet. Instead of usual small glass windows, there will be a pair of 20-foot-long -meter) digital video screens that will stretch the length of the cabin (机舱) on either side of the aircraft. Multiple high definition cameras on the outside of the plane will provide 4K video, which the aircraft will sew together, using special software developed by Spike Aerospace.
“Removing conventional glass windows from planes has other advantages as well, “Spike Aerospace president and CEO Vik Kachoria says. For example, it would be possible to reduce noise from the engines. It also would strengthen the aircraft and make it safer. “Wherever you have a hole is a structural weakness,” he said. If passengers are not interested in the view, they also will be able to use the screens to do other things. You can watch videos or even get hands on office software.
Kachoria envisions delivering the first jet without passenger windows in 2025. Initially, only people wealthy enough to afford a private jet will be able to enjoy Spike Aerospace’s windowless flying experience. But Kachoria expects that the innovative technology eventually will find its way into regular airliners as well.
8．Why are CPI and Emirates mentioned
A．To demonstrate their market dominance. B．To compare different aircraft technologies.
C．To show early efforts for windowless planes. D．To explain the challenges of windowless design.
9．What is the main focus about Spike S-512 in Paragraph 3
A．Its size. B．Its design. C．Its producer. D．Its construction.
10．What is special about Spike Aerospace’s digital video screens
A．They reduce engine noise levels. B．They display exterior landscapes.
C．They remove structural weakness. D．They enable document processing
11．What’s Kachoria’s hope for the windowless aircraft
A．It will upgrade flying experience. B．It will accomodate more passengers.
C．It will be accessible to general public. D．It will go into mass production in 2025.
Human echolocation (回声定位) has at times allowed people to ride bikes or play basketball despite being completely blind from a very young age. They typically perceive environment by clicking sharply with their tongues and listening to differences in the sounds reflected off objects.
Brain-imaging studies reveal that expert echolocators display responses to sound in their brain’s primary visual region, possibly because long-term input disadvantage leads to visual regions being repurposed. “It’s traditionally thought that the blind brain is different and requires sensory loss for this neuroplasticity,” says neuroscientist Lore Thaler.
Thaler co-led a 2021 study showing that both blind and sighted people could learn echolocation in 10 weeks. They examined the brain changes underlying these abilities. After training, both displayed responses to echoes in their visual cortex (大脑皮层), a finding that challenges the belief that primary sensory regions are wholly sense-specific.
The researchers trained 14 sighted and 12 blind people for two to three hours twice a week. They started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks, then trained them on three tasks involving judging object size and orientation, and navigating virtual webs using simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions. Both groups improved on all the tasks. “This study significantly contributes to a growing body of evidence that this is a trainable, ordinary skill available to both blind and sighted people, “says Santani Teng, a psychologist.
After training, both groups showed increased auditory (听觉的) cortex activation and higher gray matter density in auditory areas. Most surprisingly, they also showed visual cortex activation in response to echoes. “We weren’t sure if we would get this result in sighted people. so it was really rewarding to see it,” Thaler says. She suspects that rather than just processing visual data, this brain area takes in information from multiple senses that aid spatial understanding.
A follow-up survey found that 83 percent of blind participants reported improved independence and well-being. The researchers are working to spread the training more widely as a powerful sensory tool for people with vision damage.
12．The underlined word “neuroplasticity” in Para. 2 refers to the brain’s ____________.
A．control of body movements B．resistance to external changes
C．enhancement of old memories D．adjustment of its own structure
13．What does the study’s key finding show
A．Echolocation is inborn. B．Sensory loss isn’t required.
C．Sighted people don’t benefit. D．Auditory cortex plays a key role.
14．How does the visual cortex respond to echolocation training
A．It prioritizes auditory input. B．It processes sound and space.
C．It increases gray matter density. D．It functions differently in both groups
15．What would be the best title for the text
A．Echolocation Training Rewires Visual Cortex B．Sensory Loss Activates Brain Flexibility.
C．Sound-based Training Helps the Blind. D．Echolocation Cures Vision Problems.
Even as a child, I was always goal-directed. Every January 1st, I would dutifully sit down and write out my resolutions for the upcoming year: lose 50 pounds, run a marathon, have a picture-perfect home! Oh, and be the best parent ever who never yelled at my children! 16 By every March, I fall trapped in a cycle of ambition and guilt.
Everything changed when I faced consistent battles with breast and appendix cancer. That’s right: two different cancers, with two different treatment plans, at the same time, in the same body. 17 And I won’t lie -the next year was incredibly difficult.
Experiencing dual treatments taught me profound lessons. 18 Simply waking up cancer-free became my definition of triumph. Where I once measured success by completed checklists, I now found victory in my children’s laughter or sunlight filtering through hospital blinds.
I abandoned traditional resolutions by realizing that big goals invite big failures. Instead, I adopted a “mini-mission” approach. 19 For example, rather than aiming for daily gym marathons, I committed to 20-minute walks three times weekly.
The magic lies in accumulated progress. After mastering basic nutrition goals (five vegetable servings daily), I added hydration targets (replacing soda with herbal tea). This gradual method even helped me conquer the fearful rowing machine -a feat (壮举) I’d previously considered impossible.
20 My only “resolution” last year was avoiding medical deductibles (免赔额) through sustained small health habits. To my delight, it worked not through extreme measures, but through the snowball effect of mini-achievements.
A．It was a lot to deal with.
B．Immediate results often mask long-term costs
C．Survival reshaped my understanding of success.
D．External pressures weaken self-improvement efforts.
E．Tiny achievable steps replaced monumental demands.
F．Piled accomplishments build sustainable transformation
G．In practical terms, my grand plans frequently backfire psychologically.

Mrs. Parker threw a ball across the yard, and her dog raced after it. Donovan, a neighbor pulling weeds nearby, smiled as he watched their playful interactions. Mrs. Parker, though always sitting in a wheelchair after a strok (中风), was beloved in the neighborhood for her funny stories and kindness. Her dog was like a pet to everyone.
Suddenly, the ball bounced and rolled into the street. At that exact moment, a truck swung around the corner and hit the dog, leaving him seriously injured. Liz, Mrs. Parker’s daughter, and the driver rushed the dog to the animal hospital immediately.
Waiting nervously for news about the dog, Donovan offered to help out with Mrs. Parker while Liz was at the hospital. Late that evening, Liz returned with depressing news: the dog would recover, but the vet bill was $2000-money they didn’t have.
Donovan wanted to help but only had $17 saved for a cookbook as he had become fascinated with cooking lately. What else could he do The question stuck in his mind all through the night and the next day at school. When he got home, he noticed the delicious smell of his own cooking-a pot of stew (he had prepared earlier. He tasted it and thought, “Maybe I could bring some to Mrs. Parker. Liz must be too busy to cook right now.”
When Donovan entered Liz’s kitchen, he was stunned by the scene. It seemed as if all their neighbors had sent food. He stopped to check on Mrs. Parker, who assured him, “I’m fine, just worried about the dog’s vet bill. Anyway, what did you bring over, dear ”
“Stew,” Donovan replied, squeezing his bowl in between two dishes. “But I think you have a wide menu to choose from tonight. I haven’t seen that many dishes since the school’s potluck (百家饭) supper.”

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于人类回声定位的研究，表明盲人和有视力的人都能在10周内学会回声定位，训练会使视觉皮层有相应反应。
【详解】12．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Brain imaging studies reveal that expert echolocators display responses to sound in their brain’s primary visual region, possibly because long term input disadvantage leads to visual regions being repurposed. “It’s traditionally thought that the blind brain is different and requires sensory loss for this neuroplasticity,” says neuroscientist Lore Thaler.(脑成像研究显示，专业回声定位者大脑的初级视觉区会对声音产生反应，这可能是由于长期视觉输入缺失导致视觉区域被重新利用。神经系统科学家洛尔·塞勒说：“传统观点认为，盲人的大脑是不同的，需要感官缺失才能产生这种神经可塑性。”)”和指代关系可推知，“neuroplasticity”指的是上文提到的由于长期视觉输入缺失导致视觉区域被重新利用，即“大脑自身结构因长期输入劣势而进行的调整”。故选D项。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Thaler co-led a 2021 study showing that both blind and sighted people could learn echolocation in 10 weeks. They examined the brain changes underlying these abilities. After training, both displayed responses to echoes in their visual cortex (大脑皮层), a finding that challenges the belief that primary sensory regions are wholly sense specific.(塞勒共同领导了一项2021年的研究，表明盲人和有视力的人都能在10周内学会回声定位。他们研究了这些能力背后的大脑变化。训练后，两组人在视觉皮层都对回声有反应，这一发现挑战了初级感觉区域完全特定于某种感觉的观点)”可知，该研究主要发现盲人和有视力的人都能学会回声定位，表明学习回声定位不需要感官丧失。故选B项。
14．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Most surprisingly, they also showed visual cortex activation in response to echoes. ‘We weren’t sure if we would get this result in sighted people. so it was really rewarding to see it,’ Thaler says. She suspects that rather than just processing visual data, this brain area takes in information from multiple senses that aid spatial understanding.(最令人惊讶的是，他们的视觉皮层也对回声做出了反应。‘我们不确定是否能在视力正常的人身上得到同样的结果。所以看到它真的很值得。’塞勒说。她怀疑这个大脑区域不仅仅是处理视觉数据，它还从多种感官中吸收信息，从而帮助理解空间)”可知，视觉皮层在回声定位训练中处理声音和空间信息。故选B项。
15．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中“After training, both displayed responses to echoes in their visual cortex (大脑皮层), a finding that challenges the belief that primary sensory regions are wholly sense specific.(训练后，两组人在视觉皮层都对回声有反应，这一发现挑战了初级感觉区域完全特定于某种感觉的观点)”以及后文内容可知，本文主要介绍了回声定位训练会使视觉皮层产生变化。故A项“Echolocation Training Rewires Visual Cortex(回声定位训练重塑视觉皮层)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。
【答案】16．G 17．A 18．C 19．E 20．F
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从制定宏大目标到因患病改变观念，转而采用“小任务”方法，通过积累小成就实现可持续转变并取得成功的经历。
【详解】16．上文“Even as a child, I was always goal-directed. Every January 1st, I would dutifully sit down and write out my resolutions for the upcoming year: lose 50 pounds, run a marathon, have a picture-perfect home! Oh, and be the best parent ever who never yelled at my children! (甚至在还是个孩子的时候，我总是目标导向的。每年的1月1日，我都会认真地坐下来，写下我新的一年的决心：减掉50磅，跑一场马拉松，拥有一个完美的家！哦，还要成为从不对孩子大喊大叫的最好的父母！)”以及下文“By every March, I fall trapped in a cycle of ambition and guilt. (到了每年的3月，我就会陷入野心和内疚的循环中。)”描述了作者每年年初制定宏大目标，但往往到3月就陷入困境的情况。空处承上启下，说明目标宏大，但是往往会失败。所以G项“实际上，我的宏大计划经常在心理上适得其反。”符合语境。“grand plans”对应上文的resolutions，“backfire”对应下文“fall trapped in a cycle”，体现计划与结果的反差。故选G。
17．上文“Everything changed when I faced consistent battles with breast and appendix cancer. That’s right: two different cancers, with two different treatment plans, at the same time, in the same body .(当我面临乳腺癌和阑尾癌的持续斗争时，一切都变了。没错：两种不同的癌症，两种不同的治疗方案，同时发生在同一个身体上。)”描述了作者同时面临两种癌症的严峻情况。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明这种情况处理起来非常困难。所以A项“这有很多要处理。”符合语境。It指代上文“同时患两种癌症”的情况，“a lot to deal with”直接衔接 “两种治疗方案”的复杂性，且与下文“incredibly difficult”形成因果关系。故选A。
18．上文“Experiencing dual treatments taught me profound lessons. (经历双重治疗给了我深刻的教训。)”以及下文“Simply waking up cancer-free became my definition of triumph. (仅仅是醒来发现自己未受癌症困扰，便成了我对“胜利”的定义。)”说明了经历双重治疗给了作者深刻的教训。空处承上启下，说明这些教训如何改变了作者对成功的理解。所以C项“生存重塑了我对成功的理解。”符合语境。“reshaped understanding”对应下文 “从清单成功观转向存活即胜利”的转变，“survival”与“waking up cancer-free”形成语义呼应，是对段落核心观点的概括。故选C。
19．上文“I abandoned traditional resolutions by realizing that big goals invite big failures. Instead, I adopted a “mini-mission” approach. (我放弃了传统的决心，因为我意识到大目标往往会导致大失败。相反，我采用了“小任务”的方法。)”提到作者放弃了传统的宏大目标，转而采用“小任务”的方法。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明这种“小任务”方法是如何具体实施的。所以E项“微小可实现的步骤取代了宏大的要求。”符合语境。“Tiny achievable steps”对应上文的“mini-mission”，“replaced monumental demands”对应“abandoned traditional resolutions”，且与下文例子中的“20-minute walks”形成具体例证关系。故选E。

46．【答案】Dear John,
I’m excited to tell you about our recent class meeting about mental health — it was truly inspiring! The session began with an educational video about stress management techniques. We then broke into small groups to discuss personal challenges and healthy coping mechanisms. The most impactful moment came when we exchanged anonymous notes of encouragement, which created such a supportive atmosphere.
This experience really opened my eyes to the importance of mental well-being. Discovering that my classmates face similar struggles made me feel less alone, and we all gained practical tools for maintaining emotional balance.
Does your school organize similar wellness activities I’d love to hear about your experiences!
Yours,
LiHua

47．【答案】 Ah! Potluck! A brilliant idea struck him. Donovan wasted no time. The next morning, he knocked on every door in the neighborhood, explaining his idea: a community potluck fundraiser where everyone would bring a dish, and neighbors could donate what they could in exchange for a meal. Word spread quickly. The response was overwhelming. Neighbors volunteered to cook, decorate, and even perform music. The whole community rallied together, eager to help Mrs. Parker and the dog. They set the event for Saturday in Mrs. Parker’s backyard -the heart of the neighborhood.
The day of the potluck fundraising fair came. Tables were piled high with homemade dishes. Laughter filled the air. Mrs. Parker entertained everyone with her funniest stories and Donovan served his delicious stew. A donation jar sat at the entrance, and by the end of the night, it was overflowing with cash-more than enough to cover the dog’s bill and even some extra for his follow-up care. Mrs. Parker wiped away a tear and hugged Donovan tightly. “You’re a true hero, my boy. “Donovan smiled, feeling a warm sense of pride. The neighborhood had shown just how much they cared, and Donovan realized the neighborhood wasn’t just a place where people lived but a family.
