Fix It, Don't Ditch It
On the first Saturday of every month, a community centre in Amsterdam opens its doors for something unusual. Visitors arrive carrying torn jeans, radios that no longer sing, lamps that flicker, and bicycles with flat tyres. They do not come to buy replacements. They come to a Repair Café, where volunteers help them fix what they already own.
The idea began in 2009 when Martine Postma, a Dutch journalist, grew tired of seeing perfectly repairable household items thrown away. She organised a small gathering where people could bring broken things and learn how to mend them. Since then, the movement has spread to more than 2,200 locations in over 40 countries, including Britain, the United States, Canada and Japan.
What makes a Repair Café different from a traditional repair shop is the way knowledge is shared. Visitors are not customers who drop off a problem and pay for a solution; they sit beside volunteers and take part in the repair. A retired engineer might show a teenager how to solder a loose wire; someone who has spent years sewing could teach a university student to replace a zip. "The object is only half the story," one volunteer says. "The other half is showing someone that they can do it themselves."
The environmental argument is equally strong. Manufacturing new products uses raw materials, energy and water, and creates pollution. Every toaster repaired and used for another five years is one less toaster that needs to be made, shipped and eventually discarded. Critics argue that repairs take time and that modern gadgets are often designed to be thrown away. Organisers reply that the movement is not asking people to fix everything; it is asking them to think twice before buying something new.
For many visitors, though, the real reward is quieter than the sound of a saved appliance. It is the conversation across a workbench, the surprise of learning a new skill, and the small pride of rescuing something from the bin. In a world that often feels disposable, a Repair Café offers a different message: broken does not always mean finished.

七选五(第 36–40 题,两项多余)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Read with Purpose
Reading a book is not the same as finishing a book. Many students read pages without remembering what they have read, and the problem is usually not speed but attention. 36
Start by asking a question. Before you open a chapter, think about what you hope to learn. 37 Your brain will pay more attention because it has a target to look for.
Take notes, but keep them short. The goal is not to copy the whole book. 38 One sentence per page is enough if it captures the main point.
Pause and explain. After each section, close the book and tell yourself what you have just read. 39 This simple step forces you to process ideas in your own words.
Finally, connect the new ideas to something you already know. 40 When information links to your own experience, it becomes far easier to remember.
A. If you cannot say it simply, you probably do not understand it yet.
B. Reading aloud can also help you notice details you might skip.
C. A clear question turns passive reading into active reading.
D. The best notes usually record your own reaction, not every fact.
E. The solution is to read more slowly and underline every sentence.
F. Try writing down one thing that surprised you or changed your mind.
G. A few focused minutes are often more valuable than an hour of daydreaming.
答案与解析
阅读理解
1. B 第二段指出 Martine Postma 因厌倦看到还能修的物品被丢弃而组织了 Repair Café,且人们可以学习如何修补,即「通过传授修理技能减少浪费」,选 B。A 与「记者发起」不符;C、D 与原文矛盾。
2. B 第三段说明 Repair Café 与传统修理店不同之处在于「they sit beside volunteers and take part in the repair」,即访客参与修理过程并学习技能,选 B。A、C、D 原文均未提及或与文意相反。
3. A 第四段 Critics argue that repairs take time and that modern gadgets are often designed to be thrown away,即修理耗时且现代产品常被设计成难以修理,选 A。B、C、D 无据。
4. C 全文围绕 Repair Café 这一简单理念展开,既讲环保减废,也讲人与人之间的技能传承和交流,C「一个简单的想法能帮助人们减少浪费并建立更多联系」最能概括。A、B、D 均为局部或过度推断。
七选五
36. G 首段指出问题不在速度而在注意力,G「几分钟专注阅读往往比一小时走神更有价值」承接前文,引出下文解决方法。
37. C 本段主旨是「先提问」,C「一个清晰的问题把被动阅读变为主动阅读」与后句「大脑会因为有目标而更专注」衔接。
38. D 本段讲「做简短笔记」,D「最好的笔记通常记录你自己的反应,而非每个事实」与「目标不是抄整本书」一致。
39. A 本段讲「停下来用自己的话解释」,A「如果你不能简单地说出来,你可能还没真正理解」与「用自己的话处理信息」呼应。
40. F 本段讲「把新观点与已知知识联系起来」,F「试着写下一件让你惊讶或改变想法的事」属于个人化连接,与后句「信息与自身经验相连时更易记住」衔接。
多余项:B(大声朗读)与 E(慢读并逐句划线)均为干扰项——B 与本文提到的主动阅读策略无关;E 与首段「问题不在速度」相悖。
