In a busy community hall, volunteers work at the Share and Repair Café run by Transition Crich, a “share and repair” project in the village of Crich. Volunteers mend people’s beloved clothes and fix household tools here.
This project started five years ago. A local magazine called for volunteers to make the village more sustainable and eco-friendly. At first, volunteers only repaired items. Now it offers craft activities, a café area and stands for local groups. Importantly, all services are free. People only need to give donations to cover basic costs.
Alan is one volunteer offering a knife-sharpening service for kitchen knives and garden tools. He once suffered from cancer and received great support from the local community. Working here helps him keep a positive attitude toward life. For him, giving back to the community is the least he can do.
Transition Crich also carries out other environmental projects. A coming fashion show calls on people to fight fast fashion with creative ideas of sustainable clothing. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizant of nature. Besides, it cooperates with a local junior school to help students build a closer connection with nature.
Both volunteers and event-goers benefit a lot from Transition Crich. Loneliness troubles many people in society. What makes inclusion initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve.
4. What inspired the start of the “share and repair” project
A．A repaired item.
B．A donation campaign.
C．A volunteer appeal.
D．A classic handcraft.

The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.
The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study.
The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not.
It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion.
O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added.
But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life.
8. What does the study encourage children to do
A．Perform Shakespeare’s works.
B．Write their own original plays.
C．Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart.
D．Watch professional acting on stage.
9. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．Its procedure. B．Its background. C．Its purpose. D．Its significance.
10. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing
A．Passage fluency. B．Emotional depth.
C．Word complexity. D．Plot imagination.
11. What can be learned from the text
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Learning by doing works best.
C．Reading makes a full man.
D．Words are the voice of the mind.

A tiny piece of lab-grown wood could be a big step towards reducing the number of trees cut down.“As far as we know, our early prototype (原型) is the first piece of interconnected wood-like tissue ever produced from cell culture,” says Tom Clement at start-up New Dawn Bio.
What the firm calls “cultured wood” is a wood-based version of lab-grown meat. The first piece of material was made using stem cells from Arabidopsis thaliana, a small plant commonly used in lab studies. The piece, which Clement says is dark brown, is only about an eighth of the size of a postage stamp. The goal, however, is to use stem cells from various tree species and produce larger pieces of wood, such as an entire tabletop.
The company aims to produce wood more efficiently with lower environmental impact.Clement says the approach involves two main stages. First, plant stem cells are put in sugar water, enabling them to grow fast. Then, they are exposed to chemical or genetic cues to make them differentiate into fibre cells filled with cellulose — the primary component of plant cell walls — or vessel cells, which help transport water and minerals through the tissue. Together,these are the main structural components of wood. Once these cells become strong and bond with each other, they are combined to form any shape.
Eventually, the researchers aim to replicate (复制) wood from rare species threatened by illegal logging. Clement says cultured wood could displace harmful logging through relatively small-scale production. Lab-grown wood will be expensive, but it can still compete with costly rare wood.
This isn’t the first attempt at cultured wood. Researchers previously tried to print wood-like material, but were never able to produce material with the same mechanical properties as actual wood, says Fernando Velásquez-García at MIT. “The million-dollar question is whether the cells connect. Are they just sitting together or are they shaking hands ” Clement declined to share how the cells connect or the mechanical properties of the resulting wood. Without more details, it is impossible to judge whether the start-up has done so, Fernando says.
12. What do we know about the lab-grown wood produced by New Dawn Bio
A．It has replaced natural wood products.
B．It is considered an early breakthrough.
C．It is already large enough for tabletops.
D．It comes from a rarely studied lab plant.
13. What is formed in the second stage of making cultured wood
A．Rare wood tissue.
B．Water and minerals.
C．Fast-growing stem cells.
D．Fibre cells and vessel cells.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The prospects of rare wood products.
B．The growing threat of illegal logging.
C．The potential value of cultured wood.
D．The disadvantages of lab-grown wood.
15. Why does Fernando call cell connection “the million-dollar question”
A．It makes rare tree species even rarer.
B．It affects how much the research costs.
C．It changes the properties of actual wood.
D．It determines how wood-like the material is.
二、七选五
My journey with skateboarding began in 1975, and I was immediately hooked (吸引). For my 11th birthday, my father bought me my first board. It had cheap clay wheels that shook, bumped and made much noise. ____16____ This early experience taught me that passion isn’t about having the best equipment, but about the feeling it gives you.
Soon enough, I found myself reading every issue of Skateboarder, a popular magazine back then, and our neighborhood was full of kids skating together. ____17____ The sense of shared freedom was transformative, especially for someone who never stood out at traditional team sports.
____18____ At one point, a friend who was a student at York, north of the city, suggested we try the tunnels at the university.

47. 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。
No parent ever pictures having to count on their child for lifesaving help, but sometimes these things are beyond what we can control. A mom and dad in Oklahoma must be especially proud of their little boy after he rose to the occasion with rare and praiseworthy courage when their lives were in danger.
The story began when tornadoes (龙卷风) hit the area of Marietta, Oklahoma, at the end of April Wayne Baker, a husband and father who lives in the area, noticed an odd stillness in the air. He didn’t hesitate, gathering his wife, Lindy, and their son, nine-year-old Branson, jumping in their truck and heading for a neighbor’s storm shelter.
But on the way there, the tornado caught up with them with howling winds and spinning clouds. In a second, a massive tree was lifted from the earth and hurled (猛扔) towards their truck, destroying the vehicle like a fragile toy. Wayne and Lindy were badly injured and trapped Wayne’s back, neck and arm were broken, and he also lost part of a finger. Lindy’s back, neck, jaw, ribs (肋骨) and right hand were broken. She had gone through the windshield (挡风玻璃) and remained halfway in the vehicle and halfway out. It was pretty horrible.
Fortunately, young Branson was not injured in the backseat. Most of us, at any age, wouldn’t want to take a single step in such horrible conditions. Yet somehow, this nine-year-old boy found the strength to go for help.
Despite the chaos and danger, Branson managed to climb out of the broken car.

When Branson explained the situation, they immediately sprang into action.
