27、people to ride bikesBMy mother and sister had gone through Grandmas belongings after her memorial service and decided on the sewing machine for me. I wasnt sure if I was the right person for it, though. I hadnt sewn since taking a class in high school. This would take some experimenting.I opened the
28、 built-in drawer to find Grandmas old pieces of thread. I held her tomato-shaped pincushion(针垫)and thought of all the memories wrapped up in this machine. Grandma had become a tailoress(女裁缝) out of necessity. With four small children to clothes, hed quickly learned how to sew almost everything they
29、needed. For over 30 years, Grandma kept up with her sewing. She made matching Easter dresses for my sister and me and costumes for our school festivals. She was always in search of a new project, whether it was teaching our neighbors or sewing dresses for the homeless. But for the last several years
30、 of her life, dementia(痴呆) had left a shy and silent woman in place of the strong opinionated loving grandmother Id known.To honor Grandmas memory, I wanted a project to help people the way she had. With the stay-at-home order in place because of Covid-19, I certainly had the time. So I dug out Gran
31、dmas machine to sew masks, and read up on how to sew. I turned on my computer to research how to get the machine going again. After hours of digging through old black-and-white handbooks and sewing lessons online, I operated the machine on more time. I held my breath and pressed down on the pedal. H
32、urrah! It worked! In no time, my fingers were flying, steadily moving material under the very cooperative needle. When I sewed enough masks for my family, I kept going. I delivered nearly 500 masks to a hard-hit hospital in the area. Quite a big job for an old sewing machine.A staff member met me ou
33、tside to receive the donation. “Thank you,” she said, not knowing that any thanks for my efforts belonged to Grandma, who provided the inspiration.41. Why did the author doubt herself about accepting the sewing machine?A. She was not fond of it.B. She didnt usually sew much.C. She had no interest in
34、 sewing.D. She hoped to donate it to charities.42. What can be inferred about the authors grandma?A. She dreamed of being a tailorB. She kept sewing as a hobby.C. She was ready to help others.D. She had always been optimistic.43. What does the underlined phrase “read up on” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A
35、. Studied a lot about.B. Thought of slowly.C. Noticed or observed.D. Lost ones heart to.44. How to describe the authors success with sewing machine?A. It is a long tiring process for her.B. She overcame many difficulties.C. She received a lot of help from others.D. It just took her a few hours to op
36、erate it skillfully.45. Which of the following would be best title for this text?A. I Have Donated Nearly 500 Masks.B. My Grandmother Inspired Me to Help Others.C. I Finally Learned to Use a Sewing Machine.D. Making Masks For Others Is Such a Pleasure.CTime and time again, I hear someone ask why any
37、one would want to keep an “ugly” building or a building that is dirty and clearly in need of work. I think you could say we preservationists (文物保护者) look at buildings through a different angle an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the story in the simple lines, the book behind the cover.T
38、ake the Queen Emma Building for example. While people may remember that building being named as one of the ugliest buildings in town the angle from which a preservationist will view the building is that it is uniquely constructed with an artistical brise-soleil (遮阳板) to block the sun. The designer u
39、sed standard concrete bricks to form a decorative wall. Unfortunately, the brise-soleil was removed in 2011, making the building look like many of the contemporary buildings in town.Sometimes people remember a beautiful site that was replaced by a “horrid” piece of architecture and cant get over the
40、ir anger even when that building becomes an important part of our story. This is particularly true in San Francisco where many preservationists themselves dislike anything newer than the Victorian era. Yes, it was a tragedy that many failed to appreciate the Victorian buildings and let many get torn
41、 down several decades ago, but those losses also tell another important story. It tells the story of the 1950s and 1960s when there was hope for a more equal society with inexpensive housing for the working class. Should that history be wiped from our memories?Preservation is not just about keeping
42、pretty, well-kept buildings, but about conveying parts of our history not just the history of huge events, but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market. Our history cannot be told only in buildings that meet someones criteria of beauty; sometimes our history is painful, but no
43、 less important.46. How do preservationists see buildings?A. They focus on their value rather than appearance.B. They pay great attention to ancient buildings.C. They are devoted to repairing famous buildings.D. They prefer ugly buildings to beautiful ones.47 What does the author think of removing t
44、he brise-soleil of the Queen Emma Building?A. Its confusing.B. Its pleasing.C. Its regrettable.D. Its unbelievable.48. Why were many Victorian buildings in San Francisco torn down?A. To wipe the history of the Victorian era.B. To make land available for cheap housing.C. To work off the deep anger of
45、 the working class.D. To restore the architecture before the Victorian era.49. What is the authors intention of writing this passage?A. To introduce some buildings with historical value.B. To explain the reason why architects make ugly buildings.C. To praise the work of preservationistsD. To stress
46、the importance of preserving ugly buildings.50. Where does the text probably come from?A. A culture paper.B. A science book.C. An environment report.D. A travel magazine.DIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Act
47、ually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According
