We still face many challenges, such as climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation. But we can all make a difference. Her Trees Save Lives Adeline Tiffanie Suwana was 12 when her family’s home flooded. Indonesia, her island nation, is often hit hard by floods and other natural disasters. Adeline learned that mangrove trees play a key role in flood protection and rallied classmates to plant 200 trees during a school break. They started a group called Sahabat Alam or Friends of Nature, which works to conserve the region’s biodiversity and combat climate change. Today. Adeline attends university, studying how businesses can help the environment. Teens’ Two-Fold Invention EPS—expanded polystyrene foam—is the white, lightweight stuff used to make things like takeout food containers, foam egg cartons, and packing “peanuts”. But it takes up a lot of space and is difficult to recycle. EPS breaks into small pieces as it floats down waterways into oceans, harming wildlife along the way. Eighth-graders Julia Bray, Luke Clay, and Ashton Cofer looked at EPS’s chemical makeup and saw that it was mostly carbon. That sparked an idea. Could they turn it into activated carbon, a material that filters toxins from water? After 50 hours of experiments, including one that accidentally set the family grill fire, they succeeded! Solar for Her School When Claire Vlases of Montana was in seventh grade, she learned about plans to expand and modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to the project. The board liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and adults who set to work raising the rest. They asked for donations, even going door-to-door for them. And they appealed to charitable foundations too. One even donated half the cost! After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now supply one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs. 1. What do the three groups of teenagers have in common? A. They are Earth-helping heroes. B. They are from island countries. C. They are high school students. D. They are keen on experiments. 2. How much did one of the charitable organizations donate for solar panels? A. $25,000. B. $50,000. C. $62,500. D. $125,000. 3. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To give models for colorful school activities. B. To explore the ways to deal with plastic pollution. C. To inspire people to act for environmental problems. D. To display the amazing power of effective cooperation. B Moments ago, a seal was resting on a piece of floating ice deep in an Antarctic channel. Then three hungry killer whales appeared. When the seal noticed them, it was already surrounded. On this sheet of sea ice, the nearly thousand-pound sea l would be unreachable for most of his enemies in nature. But these killer whales had mastered a hunting technique called wave washing: working together to turn water into a weapon. Having identified their target, the killer whales formed a battle line and started rushing toward the ice. Just before reaching it, they rolled to their sides in a single, synchronized (同步的) motion. The wave they created was so powerful that it flooded the ice sheet and washed the frightened seal close to the edge of the ice sheet. Slowly and methodically, they repeated the attack. At the third time, the wave sent the helpless seal flying into the sea. It struggled to climb onto a piece of ice, but then disappeared from view... “The level of intelligence that went into making each wave was staggering. They solved the problem with very complex teamwork. They used water as a tool,” said wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory, who had spent a decade tracking those killer whales, known as Bls. “I rarely saw failed hunts. This behavior was not what they were born with. It was learned and mastered over decades. Every time they made waves, it almost felt like more of a teaching experience than hunting. It was terrifying to watch.” But as Antarctica warms and sea ice disappears, seals are increasingly staying on land, out of killer whales’ reach. “I’ve found Bls are losing about 5 percent of their population every year. Whether this subgroup will go extinct or just adapt their behavior, I don’t know,” said Gregory. “But with fewer opportunities for the killer whales to wave wash, I’m seeing an extinction of a culture.” 4. How did the killer whales get the seal on the ice sheet? A. By making huge waves. B. By jumping onto the ice sheet. C. By destroying the ice sheet. D. By waiting underwater patiently. 5. Which of the following best explains “staggering” underlined in paragraph 4? A. Puzzling. B. Shocking. C. Satisfying. D. Annoying. 6. What is Bertie Gregory most worried about? A. The seals and killer whales. B. The rising sea level. C. The loss of a hunting skill. D. The disappeared ice sheet. 7. What can be inferred about the wave washing behavior? A. It is a natural behavior with whales. B. Usually, the smartest whales can learn it. C. It can be carried out by one whale alone. D. Perhaps, it is only mastered by certain groups. C Years ago, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising manager, about the latest campaign. But all he wanted to talk about was fiction-writing. “I hope to be a writer. It is always in my head,” he said. I remember thinking: Sure, you and everybody else. A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see James on TV, holding up his new book. Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves.” The term, coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius, grew out of research on self-concept. While self-concepts – “I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent”- are rooted in the present, the researchers found people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change. These possible selves, both positive and negative, are closely related to motivation. A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice. A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a non-drinker. In a small study, when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hoped-for selves) or inactive(feared selves), both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward. A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often not necessarily grounded in reality. It can come to fruition if you build a bridge from your “now” self to the possible self. “If you’re regularly dreaming of a different career, enroll in a course, shadow someone, take up a hobby or a side job. Making the transition requires you to say now, today, this week, these are the steps I can actually take to attain the goal,” said Daphna Oyserman, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California. But don’t quit your job just yet. An analysis of career-transition research concluded that successful reinventions require adjustments and re-evaluations as you go. Mr. Patterson, for example, wrote almost a dozen books while still at his ad agency; he found his style only after many tries. 8. Why does the author mention the interview? A. To show his expectation. B. To explain his surprise. C. To display Patterson’s ability. D. To introduce a concept. 9. What can we learn about the idea of “possible selves”? A. It involves three aspects. B. It allows for personal growth. C. It ensures one a promising future. D. It includes the idea of self-concept. 10. What does professor Daphna intend to express? A. The idea of “now”self. B. The wish for the career transition. C. The importance of concrete action. D. The necessity of expert-consulting. 11. What is probably talked about in the following paragraph? A. Different writing styles. B. Multiple research methods. C. Patterson’s success in his advertising business. D. The exploration and adaptation of job transition. D A lot of manufactured glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative. In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸). That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months. In a test, glass beads(玻璃珠) made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice, and the breakdown of the bead and the skin healing process were observed for 30days. A diagram from the study shows how the mice’s bodies broke down the beads. In that month, the glass implant degraded beneath the skin, the wound site healed, and fur grew back. “Throughout the experimental period, no mice exhibited any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper. Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in heat. In order to overcome this hurdle, the researchers chemically modified the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass manufacturing. This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher. “It’s important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage, and far from large-scale commercialization,” emphasized Yan Xuehai, a professor involved in the study, in a press release. 12. What is an advantage of the new glass? A. It takes less time to break down. B. It can be recycled at a low cost. C. It is produced without pollution. D. It has a wide range of applications. 13. Why did researchers implant glass beads inside mice? A. To assess whether the glass is biologically harmless. B. To investigate why amino acids are medically useful. C. To explore how long it takes for the glass to degrade. D. To observe if the glass can be melt down in mice’s stomach. 14. What does the underlined word “hurdle” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The challenge of improving the heating-cooling procedure. B. Environmental problems caused by traditional glass. C. The difficulty of selecting materials for the glass. D. The instability of amino acids. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Amin o Acids Make Glass Tougher B. Amin o Acids Cast New Light on Science C Biodegradable Glass: Closer to Sustainability D. Biodegradable Glass: Ready to Hit the Market 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文, 从短文的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Before we even realize it’s happening, slowly but surely, we start losing confidence in who we are, what we do, and pretty much everything we ever thought we knew.

Her name was Rose. On the first day of school, as Rose looked out over her new fifth grade class, her attention was immediately drawn to two boys, Mark and Charlie. Mark had a high energy that filled the room, his voice echoing even in casual conversations. He laughed loudest and answered questions with enthusiasm that was impossible to ignore. Charlie, Mark’s partner-in-crime, had a naughty grin and a twinkle in his eyes. Together, they were perfect. While Mark would com mand attention with his tales, Charlie would comment cleverly, making the whole class burst into laughter. Rose could already tell that these two would keep her on her toes. She smiled to herself, though, ready for an eventful year ahead. She knew she had to find a way to channel their energy positively, turning their enthusiasm into a driving force for learning. One day Rose had a unique assignment for her students. She asked them to list each classmate's name on two sheets, leaving gaps between. Next, she instructed them to write down the nicest thing they could think of for each student. The assignment consumed the whole period. As they left, each student handed in their papers. Over the weekend, Rose wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, creating individual lists for every student. On Monday, she handed out the lists. Soon, happiness spread across the room. Mark, known for his naughty behavior, looked astonished. “I had no idea I mattered to anyone,” he whispered, visibly moved. Beside him, Charlie, Mark’s partner- in-crime, said similarly.“I never realized others thought so highly of me.” No one ever mentioned those lists in class again. Rose never found out if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. 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。 The atmosphere in the classroom shifted, especially Mark and Charlie. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On a bright afternoon years later, two gentlemen knocked at Rose’s door, holding the lists. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1-20 CBBAABCCBACBBACAACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 太湖中学2022级高二下学期第一次段考 英语试题 一、听力(共两节, 满分30分) 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, 并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1.

We still face many challenges, such as climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation. But we can all make a difference.(现在，世界各地都在庆祝地球日。我们仍然面临许多挑战，如气候变化、塑料污染和森林砍伐。但我们都可以有所作为。)”以及下文可知，文章主要介绍一些学生形成组织为保护地球做出的事迹。所以本文中的青少年都是保护地球的英雄们。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Solar for Her School中“Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to the project. The board liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. (克莱尔要求学校董事会为该项目增加太阳能电池板。董事会喜欢这个想法，但表示只能出资25000美元，即成本的五分之一。)”以及“They asked for donations, even going door-to-door for them. And they appealed to charitable foundations too. One even donated half the cost!(他们要求捐款，甚至挨家挨户地为他们募捐。他们也呼吁慈善基金会。其中一个慈善基金会甚至捐出了一半的费用！)”可知，总共费用需要25,000*5=125,000，其中一半是65,000。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Now, Earth Day is celebrated around the world. We still face many challenges, such as climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation. But we can all make a difference.(现在，世界各地都在庆祝地球日。我们仍然面临许多挑战，如气候变化、塑料污染和森林砍伐。但我们都可以有所作为。)”以及下文可知，文章主要介绍一些学生形成组织为保护地球做出的事迹。所以这篇文章举例展示有效合作的惊人力量。故选C项。 B Moments ago, a seal was resting on a piece of floating ice deep in an Antarctic channel. Then three hungry killer whales appeared. When the seal noticed them, it was already surrounded. On this sheet of sea ice, the nearly thousand-pound sea l would be unreachable for most of his enemies in nature. But these killer whales had mastered a hunting technique called wave washing: working together to turn water into a weapon. Having identified their target, the killer whales formed a battle line and started rushing toward the ice. Just before reaching it, they rolled to their sides in a single, synchronized (同步的) motion. The wave they created was so powerful that it flooded the ice sheet and washed the frightened seal close to the edge of the ice sheet. Slowly and methodically, they repeated the attack. At the third time, the wave sent the helpless seal flying into the sea. It struggled to climb onto a piece of ice, but then disappeared from view... “The level of intelligence that went into making each wave was staggering. They solved the problem with very complex teamwork. They used water as a tool,” said wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory, who had spent a decade tracking those killer whales, known as Bls. “I rarely saw failed hunts. This behavior was not what they were born with. It was learned and mastered over decades. Every time they made waves, it almost felt like more of a teaching experience than hunting. It was terrifying to watch.” But as Antarctica warms and sea ice disappears, seals are increasingly staying on land, out of killer whales’ reach. “I’ve found Bls are losing about 5 percent of their population every year. Whether this subgroup will go extinct or just adapt their behavior, I don’t know,” said Gregory. “But with fewer opportunities for the killer whales to wave wash, I’m seeing an extinction of a culture.” 4. How did the killer whales get the seal on the ice sheet? A. By making huge waves. B. By jumping onto the ice sheet. C. By destroying the ice sheet. D. By waiting underwater patiently. 5. Which of the following best explains “staggering” underlined in paragraph 4? A. Puzzling. B. Shocking. C. Satisfying. D. Annoying. 6. What is Bertie Gregory most worried about? A. The seals and killer whales. B. The rising sea level. C. The loss of a hunting skill. D. The disappeared ice sheet. 7. What can be inferred about the wave washing behavior? A. It is a natural behavior with whales. B. Usually, the smartest whales can learn it. C. It can be carried out by one whale alone. D. Perhaps, it is only mastered by certain groups. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记录了一群虎鲸通过制造巨浪捕杀浮冰上的海豹的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“At the third time, the wave sent the helpless seal flying into the sea. It struggled to climb onto a piece of ice, but then disappeared from view... (第三次，海浪把无助的海豹冲进了海里。它挣扎着爬上一块冰，但随后就从视野中消失了。)”可知，虎鲸是通过制造巨浪得到冰原上的海豹。故选A。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“It struggled to climb onto a piece of ice, but then disappeared from view... (它挣扎着爬上一块冰，但随后就从视野中消失了。)”及画线词后“They solved the problem with very complex teamwork. They used water as a tool,” said wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory, who had spent a decade tracking those killer whales, known as Bls. “I rarely saw failed hunts. This behavior was not what they were born with. It was learned and mastered over decades. Every time they made waves, it almost felt like more of a teaching experience than hunting. It was terrifying to watch.”(他们通过非常复杂的团队合作解决了这个问题。他们把水当作工具，”野生动物制片人伯蒂·格雷戈里说，他花了十年时间追踪这些虎鲸，被称为Bls。“我很少看到狩猎失败。这种行为不是他们生来就有的。它是经过几十年学习和掌握的。每次他们掀起波澜，感觉更像是一次教学经历，而不是打猎。看着真吓人。”)”可推断，Bertie Gregory 对这群虎鲸的智商及捕杀技术水平之高感到震惊，甚至有些恐惧。A. Puzzling令人困惑的；B. Shocking令人震惊的；C. Satisfying令人满意的；D. Annoying令人烦恼的。故可用shocking来替换画线词。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““But with fewer opportunities for the killer whales to wave wash, I’m seeing an extinction of a culture.”(“但随着虎鲸海浪的机会越来越少，我看到的是一种文化的灭绝。”)”可知，Bertie Gregory最担心的是这群虎鲸的灭绝会导致这项“祖传秘籍”失传。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“This behavior was not what they were born with. It was learned and mastered over decades. Every time they made waves, it almost felt like more of a teaching experience than hunting. (这种行为不是他们生来就有的。它是经过几十年学习和掌握的。每次他们掀起波澜，感觉更像是一次教学经历，而不是打猎。)”及最后一段““I’ve found Bls are losing about 5 percent of their population every year. Whether this subgroup will go extinct or just adapt their behavior, I don’t know,” said Gregory. “But with fewer opportunities for the killer whales to wave wash, I’m seeing an extinction of a culture.”(“我发现Bls每年损失大约5%的数量。我不知道这个亚群是否会灭绝，或者只是适应他们的行为。”“但随着虎鲸海浪的机会越来越少，我看到的是一种文化的灭绝。”)”可推断，这种捕猎行为可能只在特定的虎鲸家族中流传。故选D。 C Years ago, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising manager, about the latest campaign. But all he wanted to talk about was fiction-writing. “I hope to be a writer. It is always in my head,” he said. I remember thinking: Sure, you and everybody else. A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see James on TV, holding up his new book. Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves.” The term, coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius, grew out of research on self-concept. While self-concepts – “I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent”- are rooted in the present, the researchers found people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change. These possible selves, both positive and negative, are closely related to motivation. A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice. A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a non-drinker. In a small study, when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hoped-for selves) or inactive(feared selves), both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward. A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often not necessarily grounded in reality. It can come to fruition if you build a bridge from your “now” self to the possible self. “If you’re regularly dreaming of a different career, enroll in a course, shadow someone, take up a hobby or a side job. Making the transition requires you to say now, today, this week, these are the steps I can actually take to attain the goal,” said Daphna Oyserman, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California. But don’t quit your job just yet. An analysis of career-transition research concluded that successful reinventions require adjustments and re-evaluations as you go. Mr. Patterson, for example, wrote almost a dozen books while still at his ad agency; he found his style only after many tries. 8. Why does the author mention the interview? A. To show his expectation. B. To explain his surprise. C. To display Patterson’s ability. D. To introduce a concept. 9. What can we learn about the idea of “possible selves”? A. It involves three aspects. B. It allows for personal growth. C. It ensures one a promising future. D. It includes the idea of self-concept. 10. What does professor Daphna intend to express? A. The idea of “now”self. B. The wish for the career transition. C. The importance of concrete action. D. The necessity of expert-consulting. 11. What is probably talked about in the following paragraph? A. Different writing styles. B. Multiple research methods. C. Patterson’s success in his advertising business. D. The exploration and adaptation of job transition. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个自我的概念，一个可能的自我，也就是人们也会被自己可能成为什么样的人以及可能如何改变的想法所影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Years ago, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising manager, about the latest campaign. But all he wanted to talk about was fiction-writing. “I hope to be a writer. It is always in my head,” he said. (几年前，我采访了一位广告经理詹姆斯·帕特森(James Patterson)，讨论最新的广告活动。但他只想谈论小说写作。“我希望成为一名作家。它一直在我的脑海里，”他说)”以及第三段 A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see James on TV, holding up his new book. (然而，大约十年后，我惊讶地在电视上看到詹姆斯，手里拿着他的新书)和第四段“Mr. Patterson’s ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves.” The term, coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius, grew out of research on self-concept. (帕特森将自己视为作家的能力说明了一个被称为“可能的自我”的概念。这个词是由社会心理学家Hazel Markus和Paula Nurius在1986年创造的，起源于对自我概念的研究。” )”可推断作者提到这次采访是为了引入一个概念。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“These possible selves, both positive and negative, are closely related to motivation. A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice. A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a non-drinker. In a small study, when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hoped-for selves) or inactive(feared selves), both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward. (这些可能的自我，无论是积极的还是消极的，都与动机密切相关。一个想成为职业音乐家的小提琴学生可能会有动力去练习。一个害怕自己是酒鬼的人可能会成为一个不喝酒的人。在一项小型研究中，研究人员鼓励年轻人把自己想象成经常锻炼的人(希望中的自己)或不运动的人(害怕的自己)，两组人在之后的几周内都锻炼得更多)”可知可能的自我允许自我成长，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 “ “If you’re regularly dreaming of a different career, enroll in a course, shadow someone, take up a hobby or a side job. Making the transition requires you to say now, today, this week, these are the steps I can actually take to attain the goal,” said Daphna Oyserman, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California. (“如果你经常梦想着从事不同的职业，那就报一门课程，跟随别人，培养一个爱好或兼职。”南加州大学心理学教授达芙娜·奥伊瑟曼说：“要实现这种转变，你必须现在、今天、本周就说，这些是我可以采取的实现目标的步骤。” )” 可知达芙娜·奥伊瑟曼教授想表达就是要立即行动，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“An analysis of career-transition research concluded that successful reinventions require adjustments and re-evaluations as you go. Mr. Patterson, for example, wrote almost a dozen books while still at his ad agency; he found his style only after many tries. (一项对职业转型研究的分析得出结论，成功的重塑需要不断调整和重新评估。比如，帕特森还在广告公司工作的时候就写了十几本书；他经过多次尝试才找到了自己的风格)”可推知，下文在下一段中可能会讨论工作转换的探索与适应。故选D。 D A lot of manufactured glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative. In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸). That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months. In a test, glass beads(玻璃珠) made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice, and the breakdown of the bead and the skin healing process were observed for 30days. A diagram from the study shows how the mice’s bodies broke down the beads. In that month, the glass implant degraded beneath the skin, the wound site healed, and fur grew back. “Throughout the experimental period, no mice exhibited any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper. Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in heat. In order to overcome this hurdle, the researchers chemically modified the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass manufacturing. This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher. “It’s important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage, and far from large-scale commercialization,” emphasized Yan Xuehai, a professor involved in the study, in a press release. 12 What is an advantage of the new glass? A. It takes less time to break down. B. It can be recycled at a low cost. C. It is produced without pollution. D. It has a wide range of applications. 13. Why did researchers implant glass beads inside mice? A. To assess whether the glass is biologically harmless. B. To investigate why amino acids are medically useful. C. To explore how long it takes for the glass to degrade. D. To observe if the glass can be melt down in mice’s stomach. 14. What does the underlined word “hurdle” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The challenge of improving the heating-cooling procedure. B. Environmental problems caused by traditional glass. C. The difficulty of selecting materials for the glass. D. The instability of amino acids. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Amin o Acids Make Glass Tougher B. Amin o Acids Cast New Light on Science C. Biodegradable Glass: Closer to Sustainability D. Biodegradable Glass: Ready to Hit the Market 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国科学院的专家团队利用氨基酸研制出一种可降解的环保玻璃。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A lot of manufactured glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years.”（今天，许多由沙子和碳酸钠制成的人造玻璃可以重复使用或熔化，再循环制成新物品，但它不会在环境中分解，将在垃圾填埋场中放置数千年。）和第二段中“That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.”（这种玻璃对环境的影响较小，可以在几周或几个月内分解。）可知，新型玻璃的优点是它需要更少的时间来分解。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Throughout the experimental period, no mice exhibited any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss.”（在整个实验期间，没有老鼠表现出可能由玻璃植入引起的任何与疼痛相关的行为，也没有老鼠出现明显的体重减轻。）可知，研究人员要在老鼠体内植入玻璃珠是为了评估玻璃在生物学上是否无害。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段，尤其是该划线单词的前一句“Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in heat.”（虽然氨基酸在环境中会随着时间的推移而降解，但这种可生物降解的玻璃不如传统玻璃耐用，因为氨基酸在加热下会迅速分解。）可知，这种氨基酸玻璃确实可以随着时间的推移而降解，但是它却不如传统的玻璃那样经久耐用，因为氨基酸在加热下会迅速分解。由此可推知，下文中的“hurdle”指的是氨基酸的不稳定性。故选D项。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸).”（在最近发表在《科学进展》杂志上的一项研究中，中国科学院过程工程研究所的一个团队描述了他们是如何设计出由氨基酸制成的可生物降解玻璃的。）可知，文章主要讲的是中国科学院的专家团队利用氨基酸研制出一种可降解的环保玻璃。故文章最好的标题是“可生物降解玻璃：更接近可持续性”。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文, 从短文的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Before we even realize it’s happening, slowly but surely, we start losing confidence in who we are, what we do, and pretty much everything we ever thought we knew.

Her name was Rose. On the first day of school, as Rose looked out over her new fifth grade class, her attention was immediately drawn to two boys, Mark and Charlie. Mark had a high energy that filled the room, his voice echoing even in casual conversations. He laughed loudest and answered questions with enthusiasm that was impossible to ignore. Charlie, Mark’s partner-in-crime, had a naughty grin and a twinkle in his eyes. Together, they were perfect. While Mark would com mand attention with his tales, Charlie would comment cleverly, making the whole class burst into laughter. Rose could already tell that these two would keep her on her toes. She smiled to herself, though, ready for an eventful year ahead. She knew she had to find a way to channel their energy positively, turning their enthusiasm into a driving force for learning. One day, Rose had a unique assignment for her students. She asked them to list each classmate's name on two sheets, leaving gaps between. Next, she instructed them to write down the nicest thing they could think of for each student. The assignment consumed the whole period. As they left, each student handed in their papers. Over the weekend, Rose wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, creating individual lists for every student. On Monday, she handed out the lists. Soon, happiness spread across the room. Mark, known for his naughty behavior, looked astonished. “I had no idea I mattered to anyone,” he whispered, visibly moved. Beside him, Charlie, Mark’s partner- in-crime, said similarly.“I never realized others thought so highly of me.” No one ever mentioned those lists in class again. Rose never found out if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. 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。 The atmosphere in the classroom shifted, especially Mark and Charlie. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On a bright afternoon years later, two gentlemen knocked at Rose’s door, holding the lists. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The atmosphere in the classroom shifted, especially Mark and Charlie. Mark started setting up study groups, and even volunteered to organize school events, where he was busy seeking opinions and looking up for guidance. Charlie, on the other hand, emerged as a thoughtful contributor in discussions, revealing insights that often left the class in awe. Their transformation was evident not only in their academic performance but also in their interactions. The mischievous duo, once the source of relentless energy and disruption, began to channel their enthusiasm into constructive outlets. The list had served as a mirror, reflecting the positive qualities others saw in them, qualities they had previously been unaware of. On a bright afternoon years later, two gentlemen knocked at Rose’s door, holding the lists. Rose, a bit puzzled, opened the door to see two familiar faces, now grown and matured. It was Mark and Charlie. “Miss Rose,” Mark began, his voice still holding that trace of energy she remembered, “we wanted to thank you personally.” He held up the aged list, edges frayed but words still clear.Charlie continued, “These lists were a turning point for us. Knowing we mattered, and that we had value in others’eyes changed our paths.” Seeing the profound impact a simple classroom activity had left on them, Rose smiled. 【解析】 【分析】本文以两个学生的表现为线索展开，讲述了Rose老师在她的五年级的第一天的课堂上，Mark和Charlie的活跃表现引起了她的注意，一天，她给学生们布置了一个任务，让同学们写出他们认为的每一位同学的最好的事情，正是学生们之间的评价改变Mark和Charlie的人生之路的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“教室里的气氛变了，尤其是Mark和Charlie。”可知，第一段可描写在这次任务之后，Mark和Charlie各自发生了什么变化而导致教室氛围的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“几年后的一个晴朗的下午，两位先生拿着单子敲了罗斯的门。”可知，第二段可描写Mark和Charlie找Rose老师的目的是什么，他们都做了些什么。 2.续写线索：教室气氛改变——Mark的表现——Charlie的表现——几年后又见老师——表达感激——Rose老师的感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建立，成立：set up/establish/found ②出现：emerge/show up/turn up ③寻找：seek/look for/search for 情绪类 ①迷茫：puzzled/confused/bewildered ②感谢：thank/show gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1]Mark started setting up study groups, and even volunteered to organize school events, where he was busy seeking opinions and looking up for guidance. （运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Their transformation was evident not only in their academic performance but also in their interactions. （运用了not only…but also…连接并列结构） [高分句型3].
