Not long ago, the hottest trainers were like gold. People waited in long lines for hours, and rare pairs sold for crazy prices online. But look around now — the lines are gone, and those same “limited” trainers are often on sale. What happened to the trainer culture
First, fashion moved on. Those heavy, colourful styles that were fashionable a few years ago have lost their shine. Today’s popular designs are simpler and made for actual sports, not just for show.
Besides, companies flooded the market. In the past, brands would sell only a small number of limited-edition trainers to make them seem special. But recently, seeing the chance to make more money, they have pumped out their products, even bringing back old “rare” ones. When everyone can get a pair, the excitement disappears.
In addition, people’s tastes changed. Trainer collectors are now turning to boots, loafers (乐福鞋) and sandals. Footwear companies are quickly following the trend, making their own shoes of these popular styles.
The result The “trainer culture” is not as hot as before. The second-hand market for trading trainers is cooling fast. Some popular resale websites even had to shut down. As one expert said, “It now takes a truly special story — like one worn by a famous athlete — to ask for a high price”.
In short, the trainer craze is not dead, but its culture has broken. The market is getting back to normal, and buyers are becoming more careful about what they really want to wear.

D．People preferred to buy trainers online.

A．Old styles are out of fashion.
B．There is no special story behind the trainers.
C．Everyone can get a “limited” pair easily.
D．People began to like other types of shoes.
28. The “pumped out” in paragraph 3 means ________.
A．carefully designed
B．stopped making
C．improved the quality of
D．produced a lot of
29. What is the best title for the text

七、任务型阅读
Have you ever been annoyed by a loud noise while studying for a big exam That’s what happened to the students at Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School. Some birds were singing loudly outside their windows, over and over again. As the Gaokao was coming soon, a student Xiao Le wrote a letter to the headmaster, asking if the school could take the bird’s nest away to make it quiet.
The headmaster, Mr. Yuan Weixing, understood Xiao Le’s worry. But instead of saying yes, he refused the request in an open letter.
In his letter, the headmaster said that nature has its own rhythm. The birds, called koels, were singing because it was their breeding (繁殖) season. He told Xiao Le in the letter, “The world is not for just one person. Learning to get along with others in the world is a necessary part of growing up.” He suggested that Xiao Le could think of the bird songs as nature’s own “white noise” or a special “concert”. This could help him feel relaxed during study breaks.
Saying no to the request didn’t mean doing nothing. The headmaster also took action to help. The school gave out earplugs to students who needed them. They also built new, man-made bird nests in a garden far from the classroom buildings to gently lead the birds away.
This story on the Internet became a hot topic among many people. They praised the headmaster for turning a noise problem into ________. Xiao Le later said he learned a lot. He realized the true meaning of coexistence (共存) — respecting nature and living in harmony with everything around us.

八、书面表达范文
I don’t think time or distance will weaken true friendship. Real friendship lies in care instead of frequent meetings.
My best friend went to another city three years ago. We can’t meet often, but we chat online every weekend, share our daily stories and cheer each other up when we feel upset. Last term I failed my exam, she sent me handwritten encouraging letters.
True friendship never fades. As long as we keep caring for each other, distance means nothing.
