(2022·六安一中高三月考)
“This material is called xiangyunsha,” said Song Fei, while she introduced a traditional cheongsam to customers in a flagship shop. “Dyed with pure plant extracts and unpolluted river mud, the time-honored silk cloth is named ‘soft gold’ in the textile industry.”
To everyone’s surprise, the knowledgeable Song, who has unbelievable insights into cheongsam, a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women, has practiced law for 1
0 years in Chengdu City. In 2017, she traveled to Suzhou to learn design and handicrafts skills of cheongsam and traditional costumes, becoming a cheongsam designer.
At first, Song’s family and friends were not optimistic about her choice to switch from a distinguished career to an artistic field. Knowing little about clothing, Song met with a huge challenge. “The pain was unthinkable, but since I had chosen that profession, I had to stick to it. I want a career that I truly enjoy,” said Song.

Song returned to Chengdu with new skills and creative passion in 2019 and founded her design brand. “To be honest, compared with my previous job, this one is harder and leaves me with much greater financial pressure. But my sense of satisfaction is beyond comparison when my works are recognized and appreciated,” said Song.
“Traditional cheongsams are one-piece tailored dresses of Chinese origin that require making with natural materials by hand. However, modern cheongsam are often made with artificial materials and produced by machine,” Song said. “In the face of rapid social and economic changes, traditional cheongsam are receiving less attention due to the popularit
y of mass-produced cheongsams.”
To save the beauty of traditional culture, Song wants to blend people’s daily lives with time-honored handicrafts, believing that traditional culture should not be the zone of museums. She aims to pass on traditional Chinese culture, which is a meaningful type of work with social responsibilities.
1．Where did Song probably work in the past?
A．In a design room for costumes.            B．At an office of legal affairs.
C．In a museum of traditional culture.        D．At a flagship shop of cheongsams.
2．What made Song change her job?
A．Great financial pressure.                    B．Persuasion from family and friends.
C．Unthinkable pain from the former job.        D．Love for traditional costumes.
3．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．The future development of cheongsams.
B．The main producing process of cheongsams.
C．The difference between traditional and modern cheongsams.
D．The original materials of traditional and modern cheongsams.
4．What does the underlined word “blend” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A．Combine.            B．Present.            C．Compare.        D．Exchange.

(2022·北京卷)
“What would the world be if there were no hunger?” It’s a question that Professor Crystal would ask her students. They found it hard to answer, she wrote later, because imagining
something that isn’t part of real life—and learning how to make it real—is a rare skill. It is taught to artists and engineers, but much less often to scientists. Crystal set out to change that, and helped to create a global movement. The result—an approach known as systems thinking—is now seen as essential in meeting global challenges.
Systems thinking is crucial to achieving targets such as zero hunger and better nutrition because it requires considering the way in which food is produced, processed, delivered and consumed, and looking at how those things intersect with human health, the environment, economics and society. According to systems thinking, changing the food system—or any other network—requires three things to happen. First, researchers need to identify all the players in that system; second, they must work out how they relate to each other; and third, they need to understand and quantify the impact of those relationships on each other and on those outside the system.
Take nutrition. In the latest UN report on global food security, the number of undernourished people in the world has been rising, despite great advances in nutrition s
cience. Tracking of 150 biochemicals in food has been important in revealing the relationships between calories, sugar, fat and the occurrence of common diseases. But using machine learning and artificial intelligence, some scientists propose that human diets consist of at least 26,000 biochemicals—and that the vast majority are not known.This shows that we have some way to travel before achieving the first objective of systems t hinking - which,in this example, is to identify more constituent parts of the nutrition system.
A systems approach to creating change is also built on the assumption that everyone in the system has equal power. But as some researchers find, the food system is not an equal one. A good way to redress such power imbalance is for more universities to do what Crystal did and teach students how to think using a systems approach.
More researchers, policymakers and representatives from the food industry must learn to look beyond their direct lines of responsibility and adopt a systems approach. Crystal knew that visions alone don’t produce results, but concluded that “we’ll never produce results that we can’t envision”.
5. The author uses the question underlined in Paragraph 1 to ________.
A. illustrate an argument      B. highlight an opinion
C. introduce the topic      D. predict the ending
6. What can be inferred about the field of nutrition?
