22、As thrift was introduced into mainstream pop culture, young people started going to thrift stores for cheaper, fashionable finds. Gen Z consumers state that sustainability is an important factor while making buying decisions. Many choose to shop for a second-hand or resale item of eco-friendly products. Thrift shopping may have once been on the to-do list of people in poverty. But now a rise in eco-conscious thinking has caused young people to pop to thrift stores.

However, scientists recently have come to realize such trendy sustainable practices could actually be less rosy than expected.

Actually, the root of this sustainability dilemma is not only assessing what you use in your life, but the overconsumption. “Buying piles of second- hand clothing doesn’t help to build a sustainable future or challenge our addiction to shopping whenever we want them,” says Anna Fitzpatrick, a project coordinator at the Sustainable Fashion’s Centre. In some cases, the very existence of second-hand stores can give us a false sense of guiltlessness. Fitzpatrick adds, “we can clear out our entire wardrobe by leaving what we don’t want at a second-hand store with the hope that it’ll be put into good use. Instead of buying less, we trick ourselves into thinking we can shop our way out of the problem by donating again and again.”

While shopping second-hand may seem like fun, or even an adventurous activity for fashion lovers, it’s absolutely essential for people of limited budget. With thrifting reaching new levels of popularity, a great many people are noticing a rise in prices at their local thrift stores. This can influence those who rely on the used market for everyday wear.

“Actually, they aren’t shopping in second-hand shops to be sustainable or cool—they’re doing it out of necessity,” says Fitzpatrick. So, when you walk into a thrift shop or really any store, it’s important to ask yourself whether it is necessary. While buying second-hand used to be economical and sustainable, it’s now about consumption and staying on trend. Just remember, when it comes to your wardrobe, less is more helpful for society and the planet.

【1】Who has become the mainstream thrift store shoppers recently?

A．Fashion followers.

B．Lower-income individuals.

C．Young environmentalists.

D．Green initiative scientists.

【2】What view do scientists hold towards thrift shopping?

A．It is a virtue of thrift.

B．It is sustainable action.

C．It challenges addiction to shopping.

D．It comes with worrying effects potentially.

【3】Why do second-hand stores make us feel guiltless according to Fitzpatrick?

A．They can cut down our living expenses.

B．They give us good excuses for the waste.

C．They are responsible for the environment.

D．They provide affordable items for the poor.

【4】Which is suggested about thrift shopping according to the text?

A．Restrict the desire of overconsumption.

B．Feel free to purchase the things you like.

C．Make contributions to society by donating.

D．Keep away from cheap and fashionable finds.

23、How to pass an important test

Tips

★1. Once you get the study guide, make plans right away to study as soon as possible. No excuses! Killing time with friends isn't worth it，since you can always hang out with them any other day.

★2. Get plenty of rest.【2】 If you walk into the classroom sleepily, you'll most likely not finish the test because you are so tired.

★4. Bring all necessary materials.【4】 Bring pencils, pens, pencil sharpeners, snacks (if allowed)，erasers, the calculator (if allowed) and anything else you'll need for the test.

★5.【5】Showing up late cuts back the time you'll have to take for the test if it's already testing hours. You'll probably miss any important information needed in completing the test. In some tests，late comers are not allowed to take the test.

A．The exam tests vocabulary, reading and maths skills.

B．Studies show that if you get enough sleep, your brain will be much more efficient.

24、Two separate research groups in the UK and Denmark have come up with the same idea for a study that could help save endangered species, and have gotten the same results. It involves sucking environmental DNA from the air that animals leave behind.

“We use a really small pump that pulls the air through, and we hope the DNA gets caught on the filter (过滤器),” said Elizabeth Clare, the lead researcher. “It’s a bit like making coffee. You make coffee by sucking water through a filter and leaving the coffee grounds behind. That’s basically what we’re doing; we’re just sucking the air through and hoping that the DNA gets left behind.”

Clare says the concept has been used for years in different ways. Scientists sample pathogens (病原体) from the air, which has been used to help track COVID-19. Environmental DNA can also be collected from water to help ease invasive species.

A big goal for both research teams with the new study is to be able to locate endangered species and help save them. It is important to note that this type of DNA sampling can only be picked up if a species is in the area, so if there were two of the same animal, scientists would not be able to tell which one the DNA came from.

Both research groups also reported certain DNA samples not showing up when they knew an animal had been in the area. They also can’t tell yet how long an animal’s DNA will stick around after it’s been in one area. Clare says she’d like to plan more researches to get these answers.

But one thing is for sure after conducting the study. Clare says she has a whole new perspective on taking a deep breath. “As you know, I’m walking through a jungle or the park or taking my dog for a walk or my kids out to play, and I take a deep breath; I think I just inhaled information about all the things that have been here before, and as a scientist, that’s exciting to think that the information that I’m trying to gather is literally hanging in front of me,” she said.

【1】Why does the author mention coffee-making?

A．To show the function of a filter.

B．To illustrate how the idea works.

C．To compare two different methods.

D．To prove how simply DNA-sucking works.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “the concept” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Detecting danger in the air.

B．Protecting endangered animals.

C．Sucking DNA out of the air.

D．Collecting environmental samples.

【3】What do we know about the new method of DNA sampling?

A．It distinguishes different DNAs.

B．It collects certain DNA within range.

C．It locates endangered species exactly.

D．It predicts the duration of animals’ stay.

【4】What can we infer from Clare’s words in the last paragraph?

A．She breathes the air of hope for future studies.

B．She agrees with the benefits of deep breathing.

C．She adopts brand-new methods of purifying the air.

D．She finds inner peace by doing simple things in life.
