21、ft shop in his hometown of Donaghadce. Whether it was at work, walking the dog, with his local flute band or just out in his belayed town, his family said Greg made time for those in need.

29、s moving quickly towards a climate emergency. And fast fashion certainly plays its part in this. Fast fashion brands, which release 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 mu
30、ch as we did a decade ago and both brands and consumers are throwing away “unfashionable” clothing more often-over 300,000 of it 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 brand
31、s make clothes only as and when theyre ordered, and because theres no overproduction, less unwanted stock ends up in landfills. They 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 piec
32、es for consumers to treasure for years to come. Made-to-order fashion is nothing new. Until the mid-20th century, it was the norm. 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 replac
33、ed by the desire for low cost and volume, resulting in cut-cost production and the attitude that clothing should be cheap and disposable. 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 bri
34、nging bespoke（定制）back to the mainstream. Spanish brand Alas features a slow business model. It takes orders each week which are then handmade and delivered in about three weeks. It also revolves around an on-demand production process that rewards consumers for “pre-planned responsible shopping.” Eve
35、ry week, they launch a new drop, available to pre-order for a discounted rate for a limited time. From pre-order, Alas determines how 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 overproducti
36、on of stock. With made-to-order brands growing in popularity, it begs the question-could this be the dawn of a new, environmentally responsible 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 indust
37、ry. 5 / 7 C. The urgent need for a different fashion model.D. The advantages and disadvantages of fast fashion.29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.

39、oduced.31.As for the future of made-to-order fashion, the author is . A. anxiousB. confidentC. puzzledD. curiousDPeoples distrust in science has 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 sci
40、entists 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 insist 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
41、 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.” Well, no. Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had resolved, only to discover tha
42、t they needed to be reconsidered. Another popular move is to say scientific findings are true because scientists use “the scientific method.” But 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 experiment
43、al method. Recently a prominent scientist claimed the scientific method was to avoid fooling oneself into thinking something is true that is not. 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
44、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 simple 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
45、of science communication. What we do is both hard and, often. hard to explain. Our efforts to understand and characterize the natural world are just 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
46、to work. Scientific theories are not perfect replicas of reality, but we have good reason to believe that they capture significant elements of it. 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
47、change with timeB.the familiarity with sciences history mattersC.the unresolved matters should be reconsideredD. a social consensus is culture-free and permanent 6 / 7 33.According to the passage, the author might agree thatA. it is critical for scientists to stay true to realityB. science puts an a
48、ccurate interpretation on natureC. the definitions of the scientific method are outdatedD. the credibility of scientific theories is underestimated34. How does the author persuade readers in this passage?A. By stressing the importance of science.B. By comparing opposite opinions on science.C. By que
49、stioning 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白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How many times have you wondered about how much better things might have been if the younger you had made d
