Ⅰ.阅读理解【主题：人与社会　回收塑料瓶制作服装】
It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, some clothing companies are already making such clothes.
Fashion brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing items from the collection, including jumpsuits, jackets, shirts and dresses, were made from recycled plastic bottles.
“We realized that billions of water bottles are being thrown into landfills and the ocean every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose(分解). We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment，” said Alia Juma, the company's design director.
Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted and shaped into small balls. The balls are melted again to form thread(线). People can then use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.
According to Juma, it takes 67，000 bottles to create 1 ton of thread. This reduces carbon emission(排放) by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making thread.
“Five bottles can make one pillowcase. Five can make a shirt, 10 a dress and 20 a short coat，”Juma said.
Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But it is reported by Causeartist, a website that focuses on creativity, that the quality of the clothes from plastic bottles could be even better than nylon and polyester. Plastic thread can be made into different textures, such as cotton, silk or even wool. It seems that this may lead into a greener future of fashion.

Ⅲ.(2025阜新模拟)阅读与表达【主题：人与社会　皮影戏融入现代元素】
Shadow puppetry(皮影戏) started during the Western Han Dynasty and it has a long history of more than 2，000 years. It used to be popular in the countryside because it was simple and cheap.
The puppets are usually made from leather(皮革) or paper. It is hard to make them. The puppet-makers have to take 24 steps, which include washing the leather, carving(雕刻) and painting, to make a puppet.
Just like many things that are in danger, traditional arts also face the risk of disappearing. “Many young people still think that shadow puppetry is an old-fashioned folk art，” said Liu Chaokan, the sixth-generation inheritor(继承人) of shadow puppetry in Yunnan Province.
Liu understands why old art forms couldn't interest young people, so he connects new stories with the traditional form of storytelling. In a recent show based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West, Baigujing dances to a Korean pop song. Popular Chinese cartoon characters, together with the modern factors(元素), are Liu's secret of getting the attention of children. “Since they couldn't understand those old stories, why don't we show them the cartoon characters they love in shadow puppetry shows？” said Liu.
To keep the old art forever young, Liu thinks they should respect(尊重) its traditions and protect the basics of the art.
