　　Most artists have a favorite material they like to work with.For 28-year-old Kristen Alice, it happens to be garbage.The eco-friendly designer uses her incredible talent to transform garbage like empty drink bottles and candy wrappers into charming dresses that sell for thousands of dollars.

　　Kristen says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she and her three college roommates generated on a daily basis.The Fine Arts student began to dream about transforming the deserted bags and packages into beautiful garments.

　　Her first dress made from plastic bags and rolled magazines was strange, fun and even charming.However, she only made it to test her creativity.

　　The young designer did not consider starting a commercial venture(企業(yè))until she spent a week working at Couture Fashion Week in New York City.There she observed the excitement generated by new and vintage(復(fù)古的)looks and decided to see if her unusual idea would result in as much enthusiasm.She began by creating a line of 12 garbage-inspired dresses.They were a huge success.

　　Today her company that has offices in Palm Beach, Florida and New York City, produces a wide variety of dresses ranging from cocktail dresses to ball gowns (禮服)．Kristen, of course, doesn't search garbage cans for her material anymore.Instead, she seeks it from companies that have produced more than they need and are planning to throw away the extras.

　　However, if you think the garbage-inspired dresses come cheap, think again.The price for ready-made creations retails(零售)from $500 to $1,500.Though that may appear expensive, the designer says she has no shortage of customers.In fact she now even has garbage-inspired clothing for men that includes jackets, ties, trousers and even board shorts! While most of the clothes are strong enough to resist multiple wears, whether they can be cleaned is a little unclear.

　　文章大意：這是一篇資訊報(bào)道類文章。作者主要介紹了時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)者Kristen將垃圾作為服裝的材料并取得的巨大成功。

　　A．Her poor living conditions at college.

　　B．The education from her parents not to waste anything useful.

　　C．Her roommates' advice of using garbage to replace ordinary material.

　　D．Her consciousness of environmental protection and trained eyes.

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段的Kristen says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she and her three college roommates generated on a daily basis可知是她的環(huán)境保護(hù)意識(shí)和有教養(yǎng)的眼光使她想起將垃圾作為她最喜歡的制作衣服的材料。故選D。

　　A．she just wanted to test her creativity

　　B．she was inspired by the enthusiasm caused by new and vintage dresses

　　C．she was driven by the huge profits brought by new fashion

　　Once upon a time, on his way to the Himalayas, was a saint(圣徒). He came across a shallow river he had to cross. Just when he was about to wet his feet, he saw a scorpion(蝎子)helplessly trying to come out of the river. It was almost touching the bank but not enough to gain hold of the ground. The saint saw scorpion’s struggle and decided to save it.

　　He picked up the scorpion in his right hand with the intention to place it on the dry surface. No sooner did he do that than the scorpion stung and rushed off the hand, landing in the water again. It struggled to come out of water again. The saint’s body was in pain but his mind, calm.

　　Seeing that the scorpion could lose its life, the saint used left hand this time to lift the scorpion out of water. However, it panicked and stung again. Once again, it sped off the hand and fell in water. He was left with both hands filled with pain. He was not the one to give up either.

　　He tried again. This time, he cupped his hands together and lifted the scorpion in one swift movement. Before it could react, he safely dropped it on the land. The scorpion disappeared into the pebbles that lay near the bank. He felt happy, for he succeeded in carrying out his rescue, for saving another life. It was worth the pain he thought.

　　At a distance, a man, surprised and shocked, had watched the whole process. He approached the saint and said, “Can I ask you a question please? ”

　　“Yes, you may. ”

　　“First of all, there was no need to save a scorpion. It does no good to anybody. Secondly, if you must save it, you could have simply tried once. I’m surprised that even after it stung you, you still went on. Why? ”

　　“Oh! That’s pretty simple, ”he replied softly rubbing his stung hands against each other. “This was a scorpion, a creature really low on the food chain, a creature whose nature is to sting(蜇), to panic, to harm. It is supposed to be weak. However, I am supposed to be a saint, a person whose job is to love everybody, to offer love. I am supposed to be the strong one, the one higher up on the food chain. With my principles, my philosophy(人生觀)and practice, I am supposed to save other creatures. Right? ”

　　The man nodded.

　　【文章大意】一個(gè)圣徒從河里拯救一只蝎子時(shí), 先后被蜇了兩次, 但他仍舊努力把它救了出來(lái)。這讓一位路人非常不理解。這位圣徒告訴他: 作為一個(gè)圣徒, 我的職責(zé)是向所有的生命傳達(dá)愛(ài), 拯救其他的生命是我最大的幸福。

　　閱讀理解(2024·西安模擬)

　　If you’re a dog lover, you probably know about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Held annually in New York City, the event attracts thousands of dogs and their handlers, each competing for the top prize, Best in Show. Westminster is so popular that some people call it a Canine(犬科)Super Bowl.

　　But did you know that lots of smaller—and very different—dog shows take place each year across the country? One of them was held recently in Jacksonville, Florida. It was the Pals and Paws Agility Trial.

　　About 100 dogs took part in the three-day event, held March 8—10 at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. In a dog contest, dogs compete on an obstacle course. They run through tunnels, weave through poles and jump through hoops and over hurdles. Handlers direct the dogs through obstacles. Dogs are judged on how long it takes them to complete the obstacle course and how well they perform each of the challenges. Ribbons and titles are awarded as dogs complete different events.

　　Dog agility(靈活)is a popular sport, widely practiced around the world. Participants say it strengthens the bond between handler and dog while providing exercise for both.

　　Does your dog have what it takes to compete? Liz McGuire says preparation is key. “You can keep your dog in condition by exercising them and feeding them the right foods, ”she said. “The dog has to train, sort of like a football player. ”McGuire competes in agility trials with five Australian shepherds(牧羊人).

　　Suzanne Wesley’s gray poodle(獅子狗), Raya, was in top shape at the Jacksonville event: Raya won the Agility Dog Champion title. It is one of the competition’s highest awards. Other owners and dogs taking part in the trials included Terry Herman and her miniature poodle, Idgie, and Stuart Mah with his four-year-old border collie, Ares.

　　For dog owners like Hunter Moore, however, the Pals and Paws Agility Trial was pure entertainment. He has a pug named Bessie, but he doesn’t compete. What did Moore like most about the Jacksonville event? “Seeing everyone try their best, even the dogs! ”

　　【文章大意】這是一篇資訊報(bào)道, 介紹流行在美國(guó)佛羅里達(dá)州的Pals and Paws Agility Trial大賽的情況。

　　1. The first paragraph is mainly intended to　.

　　A. advertise the dogs

　　B. introduce the topic

　　C. entertain the readers

　　D. attract more visitors

　　【解析】選B。推理判斷題。第一段介紹紐約家喻戶曉的the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show引出話題, 然后第二段進(jìn)一步介紹小型的犬類比賽。

　　2. The underlined word“hurdles”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to　.

　　A. ribbons

　　B. channels

　　C. trainers

　　D. barriers

　　【解析】選D。詞義猜測(cè)題。依據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容推斷其中一項(xiàng)障礙賽要求狗和主人密切配合通過(guò)各種障礙, 時(shí)間最短, 表現(xiàn)最好者獲獎(jiǎng)。

　　3. Which of the following is NOT true about the Pals and Paws Agility Trial?

　　A. It is held every year in New York City.

　　B. There’re about 100 dogs involved this year.

　　C. Ribbons and honors are given to best dogs.

　　D. Dog agility is one of the most popular items.

　　【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A項(xiàng)是張冠李戴錯(cuò)誤, 這與原文第二段不一致; 其余選項(xiàng)與全文信息一致。

　　4. According to the passage, who went to the Pals and Paws Agility Trial simply for fun?

　　A. Liz McGuire B. Suzanne Wesley

　　D. Hunter Moore

　　【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)最后一段For dog owners like Hunter Moore, however, the Pals and Paws Agility Trial was pure entertainment. 得知Hunter Moore參與的目的純粹是娛樂(lè)而不是獲獎(jiǎng)。

　　閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.

　　Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girl’s parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her. Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the indifference of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have boiled with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.

　　High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are recognized to be affecting society’s values.

　　On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose. Some have linked the absence of good models to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.

　　A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）models from responsibility, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma.

　　Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of responsibility should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.

　　1. What happened to the two-year-old girl?

　　A. Nobody helped her after she was struck by two different vans.

　　B. She died immediately after she was hit a second time.

　　C. An old trash collector saved her and attracted her mother’s attention.

　　D. Journalists from TVS captured her story by using a camera.

　　2. From the passage, what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?

　　A. The public would feel proud of him/ her and showed love and respect for him/ her.

　　B. He/she would be awarded by the government.

　　C. He/she would be condemned by the public.

　　D. He/she would have to worry about legal responsibility.

　　3 In recent years, society’s values are believed to be affected by________.

　　A. people’s awareness

　　B. the indifference of bystanders

　　C. profit and materialism

　　D. the morals of society
