Sia was 13 when she nticed the bareft children f wrkers at a cnstructin site. “Their feet were bare. Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking arund just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were s different frm hers.
Sia went back hme and saw shes piled up high — many f which hadn't been wrn fr mnths. Then she rushed t distribute them t the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help f her parents and cmmunity vlunteers, Sia funded Sle Warrirs, a charity cmmitted t prviding shes t thse in need, whse mtt is: “Dnate a sle(鞋), save a sul.”
The idea quickly grew. After she spread the wrd with psters, enquiries frm peple wh wanted t help came flding in. Nw in its fifth year, the rganizatin cllects used shes, refurbishes(翻新) it and dnates the finished prducts t peple in need. That need is endless. In the wrld, an estimated 300 millin peple can't affrd shes. Of the nearly 24 billin shes made every year, shckingly mre than 90 percent end up in dustbins.
In its first distributin, Sle Warrirs cllected and gave ut 700 pairs f shes. Tday that number rises t 28,000 acrss fur cuntries. But the rganizatin's grwth met with many challenges. When it came t lking fr a cmpany that wuld d the refurbishments free f charge, Sia faced ne barrier after anther befre finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-ld, I did face a lt f prejudice because peple were less willing t hear what I say.” says Sia.
In recgnitin f her great influence, Sia was given the Diana Award in 2021. It's ne f the mst remarkable hnrs a yung persn can receive fr scial actin. But her wrk isn't dne. “Our gal has always been t tuch a millin feet, ”she says.

B. The prcess f refurbishment was t cmplicated.
C. Her request was rejected by quite a few cmpanies.

When it cmes t ppular symbls f marriage, ne cannt lk past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbl f everlasting lve ——a ring is a circle and thus has n beginning r end, representing the never-ending unin f marriage.
Evidence suggests that wedding rings were used in ancient Egypt arund 6,000 years ag. Hwever, unlike the metals and jewels used tday, they were crafted frm materials such as leather r bne. In the centuries that fllwed, the wedding ring traditin was picked up in the West, where it spread first in ancient Rme and Greece, subsequently thrughut Eurpe during the Middle Ages, and eventually t Eastern culture.
Thrughut histry, the rund shape f the ring has cntinued, and s has the traditin f wearing it n the furth finger f the left hand. The latter practice riginated frm an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly frm this finger t the heart. Althugh this belief has since been cnsidered wrng, the custm has cntinued.
Regarding custms surrunding wedding rings, there was a time when nly the bride wre a wedding ring. It wasn't until the early 20th century that the practice f bridegrms wearing rings gained ppularity. This change was influenced by sldiers ging ff t war, wh wre rings as reminders f their lved nes waiting fr them at hme. Tday, the exchange f wedding rings remains an essential part f the wedding ceremny, symblizing the cmmitment and lve shared between tw individuals wh will begin a life tgether.
Wedding rings hld a symblic significance that ties the tw members f a married cuple. In an ever-changing wrld, the wedding ring stands as an ancient traditin that is likely t cntinue fr generatins t cme, reflecting the timeless and everlasting lve celebrated thrugh marriage.
25. What can we knw abut wedding rings in the text?
A. They have their rts in Eurpe.
B. They date back t the Middle Ages.
C. They symblize the wners' scial status.
D. The rund shape has remained unchanged.
26. Why did peple in ancient times wear a wedding ring n the furth finger f the left hand?
A. Because it brught gd luck t sldiers ging ff t war.
B. Because they wished t keep their lver in their heart.
C. Because a vein runs directly frm this finger t the heart.
D. Because it represented the never-ending unin f marriage.
27. What can be predicted abut the future f the wedding ring traditin?
A. It will underg great changes.
B. It will gradually fall ut f date.
C. It will prbably last fr quite a lng time.
D. It will nly be ppular in certain cultures.

At the Prt f Ls Angeles, a lng gray ship is ding its part t fight against climate change. On the ship, which belngs t Captura, a Ls Angeles-based cmpany, is a system f pipes, pumps, and cntainers that pumps seawater and remves CO₂, which can be used t make plastics and fuels r buried. Then the treated seawater is returned t the cean, where it absrbs mre CO₂ frm the atmsphere, in an effrt t battle the rise f the greenhuse gas.
Capturing(捕获) CO₂ frm the cean shuld be easier and cheaper than a seemingly mre direct apprach: capturing it directly frm the air. Direct air capture, which relies n fans t sweep air past chemicals that can absrb CO₂, currently csts between $600 t $1000 per tn f CO₂ remved, largely because atmspheric CO₂ nly makes up less than 0.05% f the air by vlume. Earth's ceans, in cntrast, hld the gas at a cncentratin nearly 150 times higher, and absrb rughly 30% f all emitted (排放) CO₂ each year.
Besides, cean capture is develping faster than ther cean CO₂ remval appraches. That’s partly because the systems can usually be attached t desalinatin (脱盐) plants, wastewater treatment equipment, and ther large water-prcessing systems.
Hwever, ne challenge fr the apprach is determining exactly hw much CO₂ the treated water absrbs and at what rate. Still, the absrptin rates will vary based n where the water is released and hw easily it mixes with surrunding water. That makes site selectin a really imprtant part f this prcess.
Even if the technlgy takes ff, it will have t be prmted widely t make a difference in ffsetting glbal emissins. Accrding t the Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change, by 2050 engineered carbn remval effrts will need t remve sme 5 billin tns f CO₂ every year t limit the glbal temperature increase t 1.5°C. At present, the cean capture cmpanies are remving nly thusands f tns.
29. What des Paragraph 1 mainly talk abut?
A. The re use f remved CO₂.
B. The basic infrmatin abut Captura.
C. The wrking prcess f cean capture.
D. An unusual phenmenn in Ls Angeles.
30. Why des cean capture cst less than direct air capture?
A. Because the system is used mre widely.
B. Because the cean absrbs CO₂ mre directly.
C. Because capturing CO₂ frm the cean is faster.
D. Because the cncentratin f CO₂ in seawater is higher.
31. What des the underlined wrd “ffsetting” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Sending ut. B. Canceling ut. C. Figuring ut. D. Giving ut.
32. What des the Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change want t cnvey?
A. The cean capture cmpanies still have a lng way t g.
B. The cean capture cmpanies have remved enugh CO₂.
C. Mre CO₂ will be emitted int the atmsphere in the future.
D. Limiting the glbal temperature increase t 1.5℃is the final gal.

The Secret f Grwing Flwers
Amy helped her mther in their vegetable garden every day, s the vegetables wuld be healthy and ready fr the market. Amy ften pretended the plants she tk care f were beautiful chrysants(菊花) , like Mrs. Taylr's prize flwers.
“Flish girl! ”her mther sclded. “N ne in ur pr village wastes mney s flishly n flwers. Take care f the vegetables. That's ur living.”
Amy knew her mther was right. The nly persn in the village wh made mney by selling flwers was Mrs. Taylr. Every year she wn first prize at the Chrysant Festival. Other cmpetitrs whispered that Taylr used magic t grw her chrysants.
Amy envied Mrs. Taylr. But chrysants were expensive t start, and Amy culd nly dream abut grwing them.
One day, Amy visited Mrs. Taylr. Mrs. Taylr was inspecting her chrysants.“Spying n me again!” Taylr frwned. “But, Mrs. Taylr, I nly cme t see yur flwers.” Amy tk a deep breath.“I wish I culd grw beautiful chrysants and win a prize at the festival like yu.”
“Yu?”Mrs. Taylr laughed. “Child, d yu knw what's required t grw such flwers? The secret f grwing chrysants has been passed dwn frm my grandfather. Stick t vegetables. Leave flwers t thse wh knw the secret.” Taylr pulled up a weak plant and threw it away.
Suddenly Amy had an idea. She asked fr Taylr's permissin t have that plant, dashed back hme, and grew it behind the cttage. She leaned clse t the hanging leaves and whispered, “Grw, little flwer. Yu dn't have t win a prize. Just grw.” She tk care f her plant every mrning and evening. “Yu are my beautiful plant,” Amy wuld sing sftly, as she weeded and watered it. “Smeday, yu will blm (开花) prettier than any flwer at the festival.” Each time Amy visited her little plant, it lked greener and taller. Time seemed t fly by as the festival neared.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the mrning f the festival, when Amy visited her plant again, she screamed with delight.
