20、h a bin, there were many things that made Greg Robinson smile.When the father-of-two, who was in his 50s,died suddenly in April 2021, his familys life was turned upside down.Greg ran a gift shop in his hometown of Donaghadce. Whether it was at work, walking the dog, with his local flute band or just
21、 out in his belayed town, his family said Greg made time for those in need. Now, on the week of his first anniversary, his family shared some of the things that made him smile with their community.“We wanted to plan something together that allowed us to put our energy into something positive and giv
22、e us something practical to do, which we knew would have an impact on others,” they told the reporter.“We knew that by making others smile, we in turn would feel the benefit of that too. We have realised the importance of little things that have made us smile throughout the past year.”As Greg loved
23、his town and the community, all the gifts were purchased locally. Among them are vouchers（代金券）for a bakery，for some of his favourite sausage rolls, an ice-cream shop where he used to buy a quarter of sweets, and a cafe because “a wee coffee and a bun would have made dads face light up with excitemen
24、t”.“When someone dies, it is often the case that people are scared to mention the loved one in case it makes you sad, but the journey has taught us that this isnt the case. The wonderful memories of dad shared by our community bring so much comfort,” his family said.“We love those times when we hear
25、 how dad had impacted their lives, from showing kindness as a teenager at high school, to chatting away to customers in his shop,” they added.For Gregs children, they will be forever grateful for their dad teaching them “to focus on the positive parts of the day, looking for ways that we can express

Special Gifts to Record the Family Life of GregCIt shouldnt come as news to anyone that the planet is moving quickly towards a climate emergency. And fast fashion certainly plays its part in this.Fast fashion brands, which relea
29、se hundreds of new styles every week, have caused trends cycles to speed up rapidly, leading to overproduction and overconsumption. British shoppers are buying twice as much as we did a decade ago and both brands and consumers are throwing away “unfashionable” clothing more often-over 300,000 of it
30、ends up in landfill every year. How do we solve this issue?One answer lies in the new generation of made-to-order brands making their way into the mainstream. These brands make clothes only as and when theyre ordered, and because theres no overproduction, less unwanted stock ends up in landfills. Th
31、ey also promote a slower fashion model, with pieces taking between three weeks and three months to arrive once purchased. The focus is on creating special, well-made pieces for consumers to treasure for years to come.Made-to-order fashion is nothing new. Until the mid-20th century, it was the norm.
32、However, the 1960s brought about the dawn of fast fashion and a shift in our relationship with our clothes. The value once placed on craftsmanship and quality was replaced by the desire for low cost and volume, resulting in cut-cost production and the attitude that clothing should be cheap and dispo
33、sable.Of course, made-to-order fashion has continued to exist alongside this, though research clearly shows that fast fashion prevails（盛行）.Cue a made-to-order brand bringing bespoke（定制）back to the mainstream. Spanish brand Alas features a slow business model. It takes orders each week which are then
34、 handmade and delivered in about three weeks. It also revolves around an on-demand production process that rewards consumers for “pre-planned responsible shopping.” Every week, they launch a new drop, available to pre-order for a discounted rate for a limited time. From pre-order, Alas determines ho
35、w popular each new item is and calculates how many units should be produced to fulfill both pre-orders and future full-price orders, therefore reducing the overproduction of stock.With made-to-order brands growing in popularity, it begs the question-could this be the dawn of a new, environmentally r
36、esponsible era? The answer is self-evident.28. What do the first two paragraphs mainly show?A. Our strong desire for fashion.B. The fast development of fashion industry.C. The urgent need for a different fashion model.D. The advantages and disadvantages of fast fashion.29. What does the underlined w

What does the example of Spanish brand Alas tell us?A. The reward mechanism is a must in slow fashion.B. It takes pat
38、ience and thought to buy made-to-order items.C. The pre-order model reduces the cost of purchasing brands.D. Consumers have a say about how their orders are produced.31.As for the future of made-to-order fashion, the author is .A. anxiousB. confidentC. puzzledD. curiousDPeoples distrust in science h
39、as led many scientists to take up arms (or at least keyboards) to defend their enterprise. But in their efforts to fight back against science denial, some scientists say things that just arent true-and you cant build trust if the things you are saying are not trustworthy.One popular move is to insis
40、t that science is right-full stop-and that once we discover the truth about the world, we are done. Or, as famous physicist Steven Smith said, “Even though a scientific theory is in a sense a social consensus（共识）， it is unlike any other sort of consensus in that it is culture-free and permanent.” We
41、ll, no. Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had resolved, only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered.Another popular move is to say scientific findings are true because scientists use “the scientific method.” Bu
42、t we can never actually agree on what that method is. Some will say it is the observation and description of the world. Others will say it is the experimental method. Recently a prominent scientist claimed the scientific method was to avoid fooling oneself into thinking something is true that is not
43、.Each of these views has its merits, but if the claim is that any one of these is the scientific method, then they all fail. In point of fact, the methods of science have varied between disciplines and across time.In my view, the biggest mistake scientists make is to claim that this is all somehow s
44、imple and therefore to imply that anyone who doesnt get it is stupid. Science is not simple, and neither is the natural world; therein lies the challenge of science communication. What we do is both hard and, often. hard to explain. Our efforts to understand and characterize the natural world are ju
45、st that: efforts. Because were human, we often fall nat. The good news is that when that happens, we pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and get back to work.Scientific theories are not perfect replicas of reality, but we have good reason to believe that they capture significant elements of it.
46、And experience reminds us that when we ignore reality, it sooner or later comes back to bite us.32. Paragraph 2 stresses thatA. scientific theories may change with timeB.the familiarity with sciences history mattersC.the unresolved matters should be reconsideredD. a social consensus is culture-free
47、and permanent33.According to the passage, the author might agree thatA. it is critical for scientists to stay true to realityB. science puts an accurate interpretation on natureC. the definitions of the scientific method are outdatedD. the credibility of scientific theories is underestimated34. How
48、does the author persuade readers in this passage?A. By stressing the importance of science.B. By comparing opposite opinions on science.C. By questioning the way scientific discoveries are made.D. By pointing out the fault in claims made by some scientists.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空

Or, have you breathed a sigh of relief when you recognize that one of your lucky choices ended up much better off than you might have been, i
50、f things had gone a different way?35 l1 is the birthplace of emotions such as regret, gratitude, and guilt. Picturing an alternative outcome to what has actually happened in ones life holds an irresistible appeal, even when it leads to unhappiness. It is therefore not surprising that it has become a
51、 hot topic of research in social psychology.Counterfactual thinking often plays out in real-time on national television after a natural disaster.36_ The victims are usually shaken and highly emotional, and they have often lost everything that they owned. And yet, we commonly hear them use words such
52、 as “lucky” or “grateful to describe their feelings.37. If the person had really been lucky, wouldnt they still have a house and have been spared from all of the grief they must now endure? Some psychologists have argued that one of the benefits of counterfactual thinking is that it can be an effect
53、ive tool for making us more resilient（迅速 复苏的）38 That paves the way for positive emotions that might help them through a very dark time in their lives.Counterfactual thinking is simply part of who we are.39Many psychologists believe that it exists to helps us crystallize（变明确） the goals that are most
54、important to us and to improve our ability to wisely choose future courses of action.A. At first glance, this response does not make much sense.B This type of mental “what-ifism” is called counterfactual thinking.C. Even though it sometimes makes us sad, it can also do us some good.The imagination o

57、out others emotions.Research found that after watching theater, audience expressed more empathy for the characters onstage. The plays also changed behavior. Researchers gave audience members the option to donate some of their payment to charity. After seeing the plays, audience members donated more
58、money to charity-whether or not the charity was related to the topics in the plays.Why does live theater have these effects? Sitting in the dark watching a play can make us forget our own worries and transport us into the life and mind of a different person. We found that the more people reported fe
59、eling “immersed” or “lost” in the play, the more their beliefs and behaviors were changed by it.A classic finding in social psychology is that repeated, positive encounters with people unlike ourselves can build empathy. Many of us have too few experiences-or too little interest-in creating such enc

Theaters provide the chance to see the experiences of people who differ from us in environments unlike our own.The arts are essential to human flourishing（繁荣）.As we move beyond the pandemic, we will need to focus on healing collectively and connecting better. Providing greater access to the

According to the research. what effects did live theater have on audience?42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underl
