B You know that short walk to the shops and back? It’s about 10 minutes each way and you don’t know if you can be glad to make the trip, but that one short walk could save you from an early death, a new research by Cambridge University shows. In fact, as many as one in ten early deaths could be prevented if everyone managed at least half the recommended level of physical activity. Risks of diseases such as heart disease, strokes(中风) — which were responsible for 17.9 million deaths in 2019 — and various cancers are all reduced with this simple short walk. This easy lifestyle change was also noted in an earlier study in January, 2023, so you really should give it a go. By carrying out studies among a total of over 30 million participants, the latest Cambridge research found that just 75 minutes of exercise a week can reduce the risk of cancer by 7%. It was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular(心血管的) disease by 17%. Professor James Woodcock from the MRC Epidemiology Unit said, “We know that physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is good for you, especially if you feel it raises your heart rate. But what we’ve found is that there are many benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.” It goes without saying that doing the recommended 150 minutes per week is more beneficial than just 75 minutes. Around one in six early deaths would be prevented with the two plus hours of exercise, while 11% of cases of cardiovascular disease and 5% of cases of cancer would be avoided. So what are you waiting for? Boots were made for walking. 4. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The simplicity of a short walk. B. The reason for people’s death. C. The change in people’s lifestyle. D. The benefits of doing exercise. 5. What do Professor James Woodcock’s words mean? A. Walking can always raise people’s heart rate. B. People need at least 75 minutes’ exercise a day. C. 10 minutes’ exercise a day can make a difference. D. Physical activity is not that necessary for people. 6. How does the author mainly support his idea in the text? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By describing the processes. D. By quoting famous sayings. 7. Where can you read the passage? A. In a science fiction. B. In a health magazine. C. In a geography book. D. On a website for language learning. C Historical accounts often described the now-extinct California grizzly bears as huge beasts ready to attack humans and livestock at any time. But according to a new paper, scientists say the truth might have been less dramatic: The bears ate a mostly vegetarian diet and were smaller than previously described. California grizzly bears once roamed in the Golden State. But European settlers often hunted, poisoned and trapped the creatures. Over time, because of these human activities, the California grizzly population declined. The last reliable sighting of a California grizzly bear occurred 100 years ago in 1924, and the animals disappeared completely sometime after that. Researchers wanted to get a better understanding of the factors that accelerated the bears’ extinction. They also hoped to gain more insight into the creatures’ behavior, size and diet. To do so, they turned to documents and California grizzly specimens in natural history collections. They measured the animals’ skulls and teeth and analyzed their bones and pelts. The researchers found that California grizzly bears were much smaller than the 2,000 pounds often reported at the time. Historical accounts might not necessarily have been wrong, but they might have only included the largest bears. In addition, analyses of the animals’ bones and skins suggest the bears were primarily eating plants, which stands in contrast to their fear some hyper carnivorous (超级食肉的) reputation. “The bears likely increased meat consumption due to landscape changes coupled with the arrival of livestock,” says study co-author Alexis Mychajliw. However, researchers found the animals still ate a majority vegetarian diet and killed far less livestock than historical accounts suggested. By digging beyond the bears’ reputation, the researchers gained a more accurate understanding of the California grizzly’s biology and natural history. And since scientists and land managers often rely on historical accounts when reintroducing animals to their former habitats, the study serves as a reminder that those old newspapers and journals do not tell the whole story. 8. What does the underlined word “roamed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Disappeared. B. Declined. C. Fought. D. Wandered. 9. What did the researchers discover about California grizzly bears? A. They mainly fed on livestock. B. Their diet consisted mostly of plants. C. They ate a balanced diet of plants and meat. D. The absence of livestock changed their dietary habit. 10. What can we learn about historical accounts of animals from the last paragraph? A. They are unique. B. They are one-sided. C. They are accurate. D. They are comprehensive. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The natural habitats of California grizzly bears. B. The extinction process of California grizzly bears. C. The reveal of the truth of California grizzly bears. D. The significance of the arrival of California grizzly bears. D In order to survive trips to Mars, humans need oxygen. Now, a team of scientists has designed a robot that could extract oxygen from water on the Red Planet. The robot, which is called “AI chemist”, used a machine learning model to find a compound that could ignite an oxygen-producing chemical reaction on Mars. The compound, known as a catalyst (催化剂), is made entirely from elements found in Martian meteorites (陨石) — which means, if such a system could work reliably, space travelers would not need to bring oxygen or even the catalyst needed to produce it. Mars’ atmosphere contains only trace amounts of oxygen. But scientists have detected evidence of liquid water beneath the planet’s southern ice cap. To create the breathable gas, researchers wanted to find a way to break down this water into its hydrogen and oxygen molecules using materials found on Mars. Their robot analyzed five meteorites that either came from Mars or had a composition similar to that of the Martian surface. Using a laser, it identified significant amounts of iron, nickel, calcium, magnesium, aluminum and manganese in the samples. From these six elements, the robot’s algorithm (算法) deter-mined it could produce more than 3.7 million possible molecules to break down water and form oxygen on Mars. According to the researchers, finding the best one from this extensive list would take roughly 2,000 years of human labor, but for the AI chemist, it took only weeks. “On the Earth, we don’t use these six elements,” Yi Luo, a co-author of the study says. “They are not the best choices for catalysts, but it’s only what you’ve got on Mars.” With its chosen catalyst, the system could produce oxygen from the Martian materials at around - 37℃, demonstrating the chemical reaction could be possible on the cold Martian surface. Notably, the robot was able to carry out the entire process — analyzing the rock samples, identifying the Jest possible catalyst and producing it without human intervention. 12. What inspired the scientists to design the robot that could extract oxygen? A. Surviving on the Earth. B. Trips to Mars. C. Traveling on the Moon. D. Water shortage. 13. What is the basis of extracting oxygen on Mars? A. The existence of water and catalyst on Mars. B. The oxygen that Mars’ atmosphere contains. C. The scientists’ previous study on meteorites. D. The low cost of “AI chemist”. 14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The finding of six elements. B. The advantages of the robots. C. The process of producing oxygen. D. The formation of the meteorites. 15. What is the writer’s attitude towards “AI chemist”? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Saving the environment might seem like a tall order, but living an environmentally friendly life is actually quite easy.

The weather conditions were perfect, with mild currents and excellent sight of the beautiful ocean and the bright, vivid corals. Even with their masks on, I could see the smiles on my students’ faces. The dive couldn’t have gone better. However, things changed as we made our way back to the boat. As we swam back along the reef, I noticed the current (水流) changing. As it did, huge quantities of trash and plastic began to flood the area. I saw small reef fish swimming amongst the straws, plastic bags and other bits of rubbish. I noticed that some of the fish were pecking away (啄) at the plastic. By the time we got back onboard the boat, there were bits of plastic floating all around us. It looked more like a trash site than the ocean. When I got home, the first thing I did was to go online and research plastic pollution in the ocean. I was surprised to find out that over the past decade, divers and beach lovers have seen a lot of changes in the oceans. Even very remote locations were suddenly filled with plastic and other chemicals. Plastics were entering our oceans at an alarming rate—up to 12 million tons each year. This huge amount of plastic was wreaking havoc (破坏) not only on the environment, but also on the marine animals that lived in the ocean, such as sea turtles and sea birds. Some of them were sadly mistaking the pieces of plastic for food. Pollution has brought our oceans to the point of disaster, and unless we make a great change, then our oceans and all of its living things, will be at risk. Since that unforgettable plastic-polluted dive, I have become an ocean supporter and spend my days trying to get the message out there about just how harmful ocean pollution is, not only to marine life, but also to mankind. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then the idea came to me: I could appeal to my fellow divers to take action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I decided to take it a step further to try and stop those companies producing single-use plastics. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 韩城市2023~2024学年度第二学期期末质量检测 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1.本试题共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4.考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理;试题不回收。 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

It’s about 10 minutes each way and you don’t know if you can be glad to make the trip, but that one short walk could save you from an early death, a new research by Cambridge University shows. In fact, as many as one in ten early deaths could be prevented if everyone managed at least half the recommended level of physical activity. Risks of diseases such as heart disease, strokes(中风) — which were responsible for 17.9 million deaths in 2019 — and various cancers are all reduced with this simple short walk. This easy lifestyle change was also noted in an earlier study in January, 2023, so you really should give it a go. By carrying out studies among a total of over 30 million participants, the latest Cambridge research found that just 75 minutes of exercise a week can reduce the risk of cancer by 7%. It was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular(心血管的) disease by 17%. Professor James Woodcock from the MRC Epidemiology Unit said, “We know that physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is good for you, especially if you feel it raises your heart rate. But what we’ve found is that there are many benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.” It goes without saying that doing the recommended 150 minutes per week is more beneficial than just 75 minutes. Around one in six early deaths would be prevented with the two plus hours of exercise, while 11% of cases of cardiovascular disease and 5% of cases of cancer would be avoided. So what are you waiting for? Boots were made for walking. 4. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The simplicity of a short walk. B. The reason for people’s death. C. The change in people’s lifestyle. D. The benefits of doing exercise. 5. What do Professor James Woodcock’s words mean? A. Walking can always raise people’s heart rate. B. People need at least 75 minutes’ exercise a day. C. 10 minutes’ exercise a day can make a difference. D. Physical activity is not that necessary for people. 6. How does the author mainly support his idea in the text? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By describing the processes. D. By quoting famous sayings. 7. Where can you read the passage? A. In a science fiction. B. In a health magazine. C. In a geography book. D. On a website for language learning. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲的是短暂的散步对健康的益处，以及科学研究对此的证实。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Risks of diseases such as heart disease, strokes—which were responsible for 17.9 million deaths per year in 2019—and various cancers are all reduced with this simple short walk.(心脏病、中风（2019年每年导致1790万人死亡）和各种癌症等疾病的风险都可以通过这种简单的短途行走来降低。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是短暂的散步这一运动的好处。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中James Woodcock教授的话“We know that physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is good for you, especially if you feel it raises your heart rate. But what we’ve found is that there are many benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.(我们知道，像走路或骑自行车这样的体育活动对你有好处，特别是如果你觉得它能提高你的心率。但我们发现，即使你每天只能做10分钟的运动，也有许多对心脏健康和降低癌症风险的好处。)”可推知，每天10分钟的运动就可以带来改变。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Risks of diseases such as heart disease, strokes—which were responsible for 17.9 million deaths per year in 2019—and various cancers are all reduced with this simple short walk.(我们知道，像走路或骑自行车这样的体育活动对你有好处，特别是如果你觉得它能提高你的心率。但我们发现，即使你每天只能做10分钟的运动，也有许多对心脏健康和降低癌症风险的好处。)”和第三段“just 75 minutes of exercise a week can reduce the risk of cancer by 7%. It was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular(心血管的) disease by 17%.(每周只需75分钟的锻炼就可以将癌症的风险降低7%。它还足以将发展心血管疾病的风险降低17%。)”以及最后一段“It goes without saying that doing the recommended 150 minutes per week is more beneficial than just 75 minutes. Around one in six early deaths would be prevented with the two plus hours of exercise, while 11% of cases of cardiovascular disease and 5% of cases of cancer would be avoided.(不用说，每周锻炼150分钟比仅仅锻炼75分钟更有益。大约六分之一的早期死亡可以通过两个多小时的锻炼来避免，而11%的心血管疾病和5%的癌症病例可以避免。)”可知，作者主要是通过列数字支持他的观点的。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文主要内容及文章最后一段“So what are you waiting for? Boots were made for walking.(那你还在等什么？靴子是用来走路的。)”可以推断，作者写该篇文章的目的是建议人们进行锻炼，并建议人们马上付诸行动，故该篇文章可以在健康杂志中找到。故选B。 C Historical accounts often described the now-extinct California grizzly bears as huge beasts ready to attack humans and livestock at any time. But according to a new paper, scientists say the truth might have been less dramatic: The bears ate a mostly vegetarian diet and were smaller than previously described. California grizzly bears once roamed in the Golden State. But European settlers often hunted, poisoned and trapped the creatures. Over time, because of these human activities, the California grizzly population declined. The last reliable sighting of a California grizzly bear occurred 100 years ago in 1924, and the animals disappeared completely sometime after that. Researchers wanted to get a better understanding of the factors that accelerated the bears’ extinction. They also hoped to gain more insight into the creatures’ behavior, size and diet. To do so, they turned to documents and California grizzly specimens in natural history collections. They measured the animals’ skulls and teeth and analyzed their bones and pelts. The researchers found that California grizzly bears were much smaller than the 2,000 pounds often reported at the time. Historical accounts might not necessarily have been wrong, but they might have only included the largest bears. In addition, analyses of the animals’ bones and skins suggest the bears were primarily eating plants, which stands in contrast to their fear some hyper carnivorous (超级食肉的) reputation. “The bears likely increased meat consumption due to landscape changes coupled with the arrival of livestock,” says study co-author Alexis Mychajliw. However, researchers found the animals still ate a majority vegetarian diet and killed far less livestock than historical accounts suggested. By digging beyond the bears’ reputation, the researchers gained a more accurate understanding of the California grizzly’s biology and natural history. And since scientists and land managers often rely on historical accounts when reintroducing animals to their former habitats, the study serves as a reminder that those old newspapers and journals do not tell the whole story. 8. What does the underlined word “roamed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Disappeared. B. Declined. C. Fought. D. Wandered. 9. What did the researchers discover about California grizzly bears? A. They mainly fed on livestock. B. Their diet consisted mostly of plants. C. They ate a balanced diet of plants and meat. D. The absence of livestock changed their dietary habit. 10. What can we learn about historical accounts of animals from the last paragraph? A. They are unique. B. They are one-sided. C. They are accurate. D. They are comprehensive. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The natural habitats of California grizzly bears. B. The extinction process of California grizzly bears. C. The reveal of the truth of California grizzly bears. D. The significance of the arrival of California grizzly bears. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究揭示了一些关于加州灰熊的真相——主要吃素食，比之前描述的要小，因此对动物的历史纪录有可能是片面的，不完全的。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下句“But European settlers often hunted, poisoned and trapped the creatures. Over time, because of these human activities, the California grizzly population declined.(但欧洲殖民者经常猎杀、毒死和诱捕这些生物。随着时间的推移，由于这些人类活动，加州灰熊的数量下降了)”可知，加州灰熊曾经数量很多，随处游荡。由此猜测roamed意为“游荡”，与wandered同义。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In addition, analyses of the animals’ bones and skins suggest the bears were primarily eating plants, which stands in contrast to their fear some hyper carnivorous (超级食肉的) reputation.(此外，对动物骨骼和皮肤的分析表明，熊主要以植物为食，这与它们可怕的超级食肉动物的名声形成了对比)”可知，研究发现灰熊主要以植物为食。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By digging beyond the bears’ reputation, the researchers gained a more accurate understanding of the California grizzly’s biology and natural history. And since scientists and land managers often rely on historical accounts when reintroducing animals to their former habitats, the study serves as a reminder that those old newspapers and journals do not tell the whole story.(通过深入研究灰熊的名声，研究人员对加州灰熊的生物学和自然历史有了更准确的了解。由于科学家和土地管理者在将动物重新引入它们以前的栖息地时经常依赖于历史记录，这项研究提醒人们，那些旧报纸和期刊并没有讲述整个故事)”推知，对动物的历史纪录有可能是片面的，并不完整和准确。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“Historical accounts often described the now-extinct California grizzly bears as huge beasts ready to attack humans and livestock at any time. But according to a new paper, scientists say the truth might have been less dramatic: The bears ate a mostly vegetarian diet and were smaller than previously described.(历史记载经常将现已灭绝的加利福尼亚灰熊描述为随时准备攻击人类和牲畜的巨大野兽。但根据一篇新的论文，科学家们说真相可能没有那么戏剧性：这些熊主要吃素食，比之前描述的要小)”可知，文章主要介绍研究揭示了一些关于加州灰熊的真相——主要吃素食，比之前描述的要小。故选C。 D In order to survive trips to Mars, humans need oxygen. Now, a team of scientists has designed a robot that could extract oxygen from water on the Red Planet. The robot, which is called “AI chemist”, used a machine learning model to find a compound that could ignite an oxygen-producing chemical reaction on Mars. The compound, known as a catalyst (催化剂), is made entirely from elements found in Martian meteorites (陨石) — which means, if such a system could work reliably, space travelers would not need to bring oxygen or even the catalyst needed to produce it. Mars’ atmosphere contains only trace amounts of oxygen. But scientists have detected evidence of liquid water beneath the planet’s southern ice cap. To create the breathable gas, researchers wanted to find a way to break down this water into its hydrogen and oxygen molecules using materials found on Mars. Their robot analyzed five meteorites that either came from Mars or had a composition similar to that of the Martian surface. Using a laser, it identified significant amounts of iron, nickel, calcium, magnesium, aluminum and manganese in the samples. From these six elements, the robot’s algorithm (算法) deter-mined it could produce more than 3.7 million possible molecules to break down water and form oxygen on Mars. According to the researchers, finding the best one from this extensive list would take roughly 2,000 years of human labor, but for the AI chemist, it took only weeks. “On the Earth, we don’t use these six elements,” Yi Luo, a co-author of the study says. “They are not the best choices for catalysts, but it’s only what you’ve got on Mars.” With its chosen catalyst the system could produce oxygen from the Martian materials at around - 37℃, demonstrating the chemical reaction could be possible on the cold Martian surface. Notably, the robot was able to carry out the entire process — analyzing the rock samples, identifying the Jest possible catalyst and producing it without human intervention. 12. What inspired the scientists to design the robot that could extract oxygen? A. Surviving on the Earth. B. Trips to Mars. C. Traveling on the Moon. D. Water shortage. 13. What is the basis of extracting oxygen on Mars? A. The existence of water and catalyst on Mars. B. The oxygen that Mars’ atmosphere contains. C. The scientists’ previous study on meteorites. D. The low cost of “AI chemist”. 14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The finding of six elements. B. The advantages of the robots. C. The process of producing oxygen. D. The formation of the meteorites. 15. What is the writer’s attitude towards “AI chemist”? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。为了在火星之旅中生存下来，人类需要氧气。现在，一组科学家设计了一种机器人，可以从红色星球上的水中提取氧气。文章主要介绍了这种可以提取氧气的机器人。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In order to survive trips to Mars, humans need oxygen.

The Great Wall, originally built to resist the invasion from the North, now has become a well-known place of interest, attracting tourists from all over the world. As a saying goes, “One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero.” The reason why I am fascinated by the Great Wall is that it is a symbol of ancient Chinese civilization and one of the world’s oldest and most magnificent man-made scenes.

The weather conditions were perfect, with mild currents and excellent sight of the beautiful ocean and the bright, vivid corals. Even with their masks on, I could see the smiles on my students’ faces. The dive couldn’t have gone better. However, things changed as we made our way back to the boat. As we swam back along the reef, I noticed the current (水流) changing. As it did, huge quantities of trash and plastic began to flood the area. I saw small reef fish swimming amongst the straws, plastic bags and other bits of rubbish. I noticed that some of the fish were pecking away (啄) at the plastic. By the time we got back onboard the boat, there were bits of plastic floating all around us. It looked more like a trash site than the ocean. When I got home, the first thing I did was to go online and research plastic pollution in the ocean. I was surprised to find out that over the past decade, divers and beach lovers have seen a lot of changes in the oceans. Even very remote locations were suddenly filled with plastic and other chemicals. Plastics were entering our oceans at an alarming rate—up to 12 million tons each year. This huge amount of plastic was wreaking havoc (破坏) not only on the environment, but also on the marine animals that lived in the ocean, such as sea turtles and sea birds. Some of them were sadly mistaking the pieces of plastic for food. Pollution has brought our oceans to the point of disaster, and unless we make a great change, then our oceans and all of its living things, will be at risk. Since that unforgettable plastic-polluted dive, I have become an ocean supporter and spend my days trying to get the message out there about just how harmful ocean pollution is, not only to marine life, but also to mankind. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then the idea came to me: I could appeal to my fellow divers to take action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I decided to take it a step further to try and stop those companies producing single-use plastics. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then the idea came to me: I could appeal to my fellow divers to take action. I reached out to the local divers, who immediately started supporting me. The following months saw us collecting pieces of plastic that we saw floating past and putting them in the pocket of our diving suits. If we were walking along the beach, we made sure to collect all the plastic that we saw on the sand. The effects were noticeable almost immediately. I could see the beach returning to its original beauty. However, I knew that these individual actions weren’t enough to stop the concerning plastic pollution crisis unless companies stopped producing so much plastic in the first place. I decided to take it a step further to try and stop those companies producing single-use plastics. One way in particular stood out because it was easy to implement, yet its effects would be far reaching. Whenever I found a piece of branded plastic waste in the ocean, on a river bank or beach, I took a picture of it and posted it to social media, tagged the brand, and used the hashtag IsThisYours? Since I started this approach, I have reached out to a dozen companies in this way and got more and more enthusiastic followers. We may be limited in what we can do, but I believe that a single spark can start a prairie fire. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了几年前作者在泰国珊瑚礁上教一对年轻的夫妇潜水，在天气良好的情况下，潜水非常美妙，但当他们回到船上时，发现海洋中出现了大量的垃圾和塑料污染。这件事让作者深感震惊，他在回家后开始研究海洋塑料污染的现状。通过调查，作者发现海洋塑料污染的严重性，以及它对海洋生物和人类的危害。由此，作者决定成为一名海洋支持者，花费时间努力让更多人了解海洋污染的危害。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后我有了一个想法：我可以呼吁我的潜水同伴们采取行动。”可知，第一段可描写作者的倡议得到潜水同伴们的响应，大家一同采取行动，收集海洋中的塑料污染物，以及作者意识到光凭个人的行动是不够的。 ②由第二段首句内容“我决定更进一步，试图阻止那些生产一次性塑料的公司。”可知，第二段可描写作者通过网络传播海洋塑料污染的危害，取得一定的成效，以及作者对自身行动的感悟。 2. 续写线索：号召参与——同行响应——发现不足——采取行动——取得成效——个人感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①支持：support/back/second ②阻止：stop/prevent ③生产：produce/manufacture ④执行：implement/perform/carry out 情绪类 ①令人担忧的：concerning/worrisome/alarming ②热心的：enthusiastic/keen/passionate 【点睛】[高分句型1] I reached out to the local divers, who immediately started supporting me.
