The horse-face skirt, or mamianqun in Chinese, is receiving renewed attention on the fashion stage.
Far from being photoshoot prop, wearing the horse-face skirt has become almost trend among many Chinese
celebrities and influencers for various international social occasions. On Douyin, China’s TikTok, individuals who
sport the horse-face skirt on city streets in Paris and other international cities can easily gain millions of likes. A
popular blogger on Xiaohongshu appeared on a British television program to discuss the development of the
English Premier League in China while wearing a horse-face skirt.
From its first appearance during the Song Dynasty to becoming a standout representation of Chinese clothing,
mamianqun has crossed nearly a millennium of history. In the current trend of traditional Chinese clothing
reconstruction, how has the horse-face skirt stood out to become the most famous clothing?
Mao Zhaoxi, who is a hanfu enthusiast, told the Global Times that Hanfu is the external demonstration of
culture, integrating the life philosophies, values, and aesthetic (美学) views formed and inherited (继承) by the
Chinese people generation after generation. She said, “Many young people believe that the horse-face skirt is not
just a fashion item, but also a cultural symbol. This shows the awakening of traditional aesthetic genes among the
younger generations, indicating that the confidence in our own culture is constantly increasing.”
Moreover, Hu Xiao, one of the founders of the ancient Chinese costumes restoration team, analyzed one main
reason of this phenomenon lies in the fact that the horse-face skirt has managed to remain relevant, never falling out
of fashion. “Many people thought the horse-face skirt had disappeared for a while, but in fact, Chinese brides can
always be seen in the costume of mamianqun.” The horse-face skirt possesses a strong sense of inheritance while
also possessing fashionable features. This perhaps is the cultural DNA that enables it to become a fashion item.
The momentum (潮流) of Chinese-style clothing has begun, and how to lead the trend of Chinese-style
clothing through design and how to stay at the forefront of the national trend is an issue that will not disappear in a
short time.
24. What does the underlined word “sport” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Compete. B. Display. C. Exercise. D. Decorate.
25. What can be learned from the text?
A. Horse-face skirts are Chinese clothing with a long history.
B. Horse-face skirts had become fashionable in Song Dynasty.
C. Horse-face skirts have been the main clothing for a millennium.
D. Horse-face skirts are leading the clothing design around the world.
26. Which of the following best describes the impact of the horse-face skirt?
A. It develops everyone’s aesthetic and philosophy view.
B. It represents the ancient Chinese costumes and life.
C. It wakens the young to love their own traditional culture.
D. It demonstrates the importance of Chinese-style clothing.
27. How does the author consider the future development of Chinese-style clothing?
A. Good beginning and it will lead the world fashion.
B. Good beginning and it will fall into the disfavors.
C. Good beginning and it will own fashionable DNA.
D. Good beginning and it will have a long way to go.

Not getting enough sleep may cause you to feel five to 10 years older than you really are, according to two
new studies. “Sleep plays a causal role in how old individuals feel,” Leonie Balter, a sleep researcher at Stockholm
University in Sweden and the author of both studies, wrote in an email.
Health and mobility issues can contribute to feeling aged before your time, but when it comes to sleep,
nodding off was a key to perceiving oneself as old, according to the studies, published in the Proceedings of the
Royal Society B. “Insufficient sleep causes feelings of sleepiness. Sleepiness is an important motivational state that
makes us prioritize sleep and reduces our energy levels,” she said. A lack of energy and motivation can certainly
contribute to feeling older while limiting a person’s ability to remain physically and socially active, both of which
contribute to feeling young.
Balter and her colleagues conducted two studies. One tested how well 429 people between the ages of 18 and
70 had slept in their own homes over the previous month. For every night of poor sleep during that time, people
reported feeling about a quarter of a year older than their chronological (按时间顺序) age. The second study asked
186 of the same participants to sleep in a lab for two nights, making sure they did not get more than four hours of
shuteye each night. The subjective experience of aging was much greater when people experienced this degree of
sleep insufficiency: On average, people felt nearly 4 years older than they really were.
“Overall, these findings emphasize the importance of enough sleep in maintaining a youthful subjective age,”
said sleep researcher Dr. Chang-Ho Yun, a neurology professor at Seoul National University, who was not involved
in the studies, “Feeling young is a good thing which has been associated in studies with living longer, a lower rate
of dementia (痴呆), less depression and more positive characters such as optimism, hope and adaptation.”
28. What might contribute to feeling young according to paragraph 2?
A. Enough sleep. B. Optimistic attitude.
C. Limited sociability. D. Insufficient motivation.
29. What can be learned in the two studies according to the third paragraph?
A. All the tested participants were middle ages from Seoul.
B. Chronological age is influenced by less hours of naps.
C. The hours for sleeping were strictly limited in both studies.
D. People in the latter study felt older than those in the former.
30. What was Dr. Chang-Ho Yun’s attitude towards Balter’s study?
A. Doubtful. B. Unidentifiable. C. Favorable. D. Objective.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The development of good sleep. B. The adaptation of sleepiness.
C. The vitality of sufficient sleep. D. The characteristics of sleepiness.
D
A ship that has spent decades trying to drill nearer to the earth’s mantle (地幔) is preparing for a new voyage
to uncover clues to how life began.
With the plan to deepen a hole drilled nearly 20 years ago, two dozen geologists, microbiologists and other
scientists will aboard the Joides Resolution to the Atlantis Massif. The hole won’t be the longest in the seafloor but
would push closer than ever to the mantle and explore deeper layers of ocean crust (地壳) that haven’t been
reached before. Engineers on the ship intend to lower heavy drilling tools through about 5,400 feet of water to find
a hole on the seafloor about 15 inches wide. Joides engineers compared the process to standing on a chair and
trying to lower a pencil tied to the end of string into the mouth of a soda bottle with a fan blowing.
Samples from the new depths will be taken to investigate whether a special mix of rock and water, Olivine,
could have started life on Earth and possibly other planets. This green and magnesium-rich mineral, abundant at
such depths, is critical to serpentinization (蛇纹石化), a reaction that occurs when some minerals encounter
seawater. Geochemists think the process of serpentinization generates the energy and geochemical conditions
favorable to the creation of organic molecules. “These are the building blocks of life,” said Susan Q. Lang, the
expedition’s cochief scientist.
The new depth is thought where serpentinization occurs but where temperatures are beyond the limits at which
life is known to exist. “If organic molecules are found there, it could help confirm that serpentinization leads to
their creation, which contributed to the origin of life.” Dr. Lang said. Finding organic molecules in samples from
serpentinization sites could also inform the search for life on other planets. “The geochemistry of fluids in the
plumes of Enceladus, a moon of Saturn (土星), have been inferred by astrobiologists to be similar to the makeup of
fluids found at the Atlantis Massif.” she added.
32. How long could it be from the ocean surface to New Target according to the text and picture?
A. 14700 feet. B. 12150 feet. C. 11390 feet. D. 10040 feet.
33. What can we learn from the engineers’ example given in paragraph 2?
A. Deepening the hole will be challenging.
B. Engineers will be required to stand high.
C. The size of the drill pipe needs to be large.
D. The task will be affected by the wind from a fan.
34. What is the significance of finding the serpentinization according the text?
A. It may help to find a mineral rich in magnesium.
B. It may help to produce the organic molecules.
C. It may help to obtain the habitat of life on earth.
D. It may help to uncover clues to how life began.
35. What information can we get in the picture?
A. The Joides Resolution could scale with depth.
B. The Wall Street Journal will organize the voyage.
C. The new voyage could be named Moho Moonshot.
D. The ship will leave for Portugal from Ponta Delgada.

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
Think about what you like to do. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is
not a bad way to go, of course, but you can not always make money doing things you like (like video games or
drinking beer). 36
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. 37 Or maybe that’s out of your
educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. These are all great choices. But often they are not
something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there —not very
inspired.
38 Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better. For example, taking care of
children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or
getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a
scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 39 And if you choose one
of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
40 The point is not how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel
filled with purpose. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you are always further along than most people.
A. There are endless ways to do that.
B. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer?
C. However, there’s another way that is perhaps better.
D. You are dreaming of a well-paid job which you like best.
E. It’s essential not to concentrate on interests and good payment.
F. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose.
G. And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.

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。
It was a cold, snowy evening. Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination
—the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines (小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves
and felt he had to have one. He has been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little
dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a
homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He said “sorry” and moved on to his
destination.
Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron
Man, and many more — all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.
“You like these, true believer?”
Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face.
“Y-yes,… Yes, they’re awesome! ”answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”
the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.”
“Then become one!” said the old man.
“How?” Tommy asked in surprise “I don’t have any superpowers.”
“And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy’s face, he put his
hands on Tommy’s arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She has been
working hard and taking care of him for years. I have never heard a word of complaint from her. And this
person...”he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He
never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.”
The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone
