21、Would you pay nearly $2,000 (about 13,340 yuan) for shoes that look as if they came from a landfill? Well, Balenciaga believes consumers will pay that. The company recently began selling a new line of “destroyed” sneakers.
According to the brand, the shoes were designed in an effort to promote sustainable fashion. It stated that the destroyed appearance means the shoes can “be worn for a lifetime”.
However, many claim that the brand has gone too far. One main criticism is that these shoes mimic clothes worn by people who are suffering from poverty and homelessness. It is seen as insensitive (冷漠的) to put such an expensive price tag on an item that many homeless and poor people might be seen wearing.
“Poverty isn’t an aesthetic (美感), nor is it something to take style inspiration from. Glamorizing destroyed shoes to fit a fashionable agenda indicates privilege and ignorance,” noted Input Magazine.
This is not the first time brands have evoked anger with their designs.
Back in spring 2021, US art collective MSCHF and music artist Lil Nas X designed what was known as the “Satan Shoes” using Nike Air Max 97s. The designers changed the shoes to include an inverted cross and a pentagram (五角星形), which are signs of Satanism (恶魔崇拜). They even placed real human blood from members of the art collective into sections of the shoe. They said it was a sacrifice for art. But it outraged many religious and conservative groups.
In the same year, Chinese brand JNBY also landed in hot water. Some of its children’s clothes had patterns with a demon-like creature and texts such as “Welcome to hell”. Though the company said the designs were due to “freedom of imagination”, many customers thought these designs were harmful for children, as they included “violent and problematic content”.
To make products stand out, fashion designers should be creative. But they must be sure not to take their creativity too far. After all, artistic expression doesn’t always win and brands must ultimately answer to their consumers.

D．ragged and cheap.
【2】What’s Balenciaga’s attitude to the sneakers ?

【3】What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．To praise the brand has run too fast.
B．To show many people are poor.
C．To connect poverty with wealth.
D．To criticize designers’ ignorance.
【4】How many times have brands evoked anger according to the passage?
A．Two.
B．Three.

D．Five.
22、Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth’s ability to perform as students. Therefore, it’s important to develop reading skills during childhood. A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body learning in instruction, known as embodied learning.
The research included 149 children, aged 5 to 6, who had just started school. They were divided into three groups: one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds; a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms; and a control group that received traditional, seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.
“Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient (熟练的) at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction,” says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH’s Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports.
With regard to difficult letter sounds, she adds, “There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish. These sounds are particularly important because once children become proficient at them, they will be better readers.”
Associate professor Jacob Wienecke, who led the study, explains, “The primary goal is to learn more about which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start. The idea is that if, through play and movement, we can learn where their strengths truly lie, we’ll create a form of learning that combines reading with play, and that’s truly positive.”
Previously, the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement. Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.
The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children’s reading of individual words. This was not possible, which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.
【1】What were the participants required to do in the study?
A．To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
B．To learn new letters through repeated writing.
C．To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
D．To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
【2】How can embodied learning get children actively involved?
A．By combining learning with games.
B．By offering them chances to cooperate.
C．By inspiring them to overcome difficulties.
D．By explaining instructions to them patiently.
【3】What does Jacob expect of the research finding?
A．Promoting harmonious teacher-student relationships.
B．Urging schools to pay attention to physical exercise.
C．Enabling researchers to carry out further studies.
D．Encouraging educators to apply it to teaching.
【4】What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A．Children prefer learning step by step.
B．Children are too little to use their knowledge smartly
C．Children lack enough practice to get fully improved.
D．Children’s learning still relies on adults’ instruction.
【5】What could be the best title for the text?
A．Whole-body learning — a good start to children’s reading
B．Embodied learning — a booster for children’s reading speed
C．Children’s reading skills matter a lot in their literacy development
D．Children’s literacy development depends on the flexibility of their bodies
23、 Check off the Four Corners
Arizona，Utah，Colorado and New Mexico are not simply the only four American states that meet at a single point, but they also host the US's greatest concentration of national parks.
This is the place to come for that classic scene of the lonely desert road extending to the horizon. On your way，take in such sights as the Monument Valley and the mysterious remains of centuries-old civilizations in Colorado’s Mesa Verde.
Find beauty in the desert
With many miles of excellent roads，a self-drive trip in Namibia makes total sense. Plan a route north from capital Windhoek to wildlife-rich Etosha National Park，before crossing Damaraland to reach the Skeleton Coast. The most impressive desert views are in the Namib-Naulduft National Park to the south. At Sossusvlei，the landscape takes on the quality of a surrealist painting.
Cross half a continent
The 1,761-mile-long Stuart Highway runs north to south through Australia’s Red Centre. It is not a road where every turn shows new wonders ； the reward of this trip comes in the gradual change in your surroundings, from red soils’ in Australia’s outback to the tropical (热带的） leaves of the Indian Ocean coast.
Take the high road
Among all the crashing of continental plates that raised up the Canadian Rockies, a 144-mile route was left more or less clear at their center. The Icefields Parkway now passes through this amazing scenery； with the access it brings to icy lakes, waterfalls and icefields, the section between Banff and Jasper has a good claim to being the most scenic in the world.
【1】Where can you experience ancient civilizations?
A.In Australia's Red Centre.
B.In the Canadian Rockies.
C.In Colorado’s Mesa Verde.
D.In the Namib-Naukluft National Park.
【2】What can you do on a self-drive trip in Namibia?
A.Explore the Monument Valley.
B.Enjoy the striking desert views.

D.They are intended to raise environmental awareness.
24、 The International Day of Happiness, March 20th, is a United Nations project which has a serious purpose. The UN thinks happiness will only be for everyone when the people of the world are equal.
On this date, the centre of the sun is directly above the Earth’s equator, which is called an equinox (春分）. On the equinox, day and night last for almost equal time all over the Earth. The equinox is felt by everyone on the planet, which matches perfectly with the idea behind the Day of Happiness. Since 2013, the Day of Happiness has been celebrated in all 193 United Nations member states. The United Nations invites each person of any age to join in celebration of the International Day of Happiness.
The idea goes back to 1972, when the King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, said that they should measure a country’s progress by its happiness and not just how much it produces or how much money it makes. He called it Gross National Happiness (GNH). Again, it is more than just a nice idea. Bhutan developed a system to measure happiness based on things like people’s psychological health, their general health, how they spend their time, where they live, their education and their environment. People in Bhutan answer about 300 questions, and the results are compared every year to measure progress. The government uses the results and the ideas behind GNH to make decisions for the country.
In 2011,a UN adviser called Jayme Illien suggested the idea of an international day to increase happiness. His plan was accepted by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2012. Jayme was born in Calcutta, India, and he became an orphan when he was a child. He was adopted by an American nurse, Anna Belle Illien. She travelled the world to help orphans and she took Jayme with her. He saw children like him, but who were not as lucky as him because they were often escaping wars or they were very poor. He wanted to do something about it, so he worked in the areas of children’s and human rights.
The UN measures and compares the happiness of different countries in the World Happiness Report. It bases its report on social, economic and environmental well-being. The UN also sets goals for countries to achieve to increase happiness because it says happiness is a basic human right. Happiness should not be something people have because they are lucky to live in a place where they have basic things like peace, education and access to healthcare.
【1】What do we know about the Day of Happiness?
A．People all over the world celebrate it.
B．It’s a day to make people equal and happy.
C．It’s on the same day when the equinox happens for everyone.
D．Different countries celebrate the Day of Happiness on different dates.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．How happiness is measured in Bhuta.
B．What happiness means to people in Bhutan.
C．How the idea of the Day of Happiness started.
D．When people began to celebrate the Day of Happiness.
【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．Jayme Illien’s childhood experience influenced his choice of work.
B．UN thinks happiness depends largely on basic things people have.
C．UN has followed exactly the work of Bhutan to measure happiness.
D．Jayme Illien proposed the idea of the International Day of Happiness.
【4】In which section of a magazine may this text appear?
A．Entertainment.
B．Culture.
C．Science.
D．Health.
