Chip waters drop off their empty bags from Doritos.Lays.and other favorites at two locations in Detroit:a print shop and a clothing store.Where Jenny and her volunteer helpers collect them.After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water,they slice them open,lay them flat,and iron them together. They use padding(衬垫)and liners(衬里)from old coats to line the insides.. It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags depending on whether they're single-serve or family size.The result is a sleeping bag that is "waterproof lightweight and easy to carry around".Jenny told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020,the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and,as of last December,created 110 sleeping bags.Sure,it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags.But that's only half the goal for Jenny-whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life-and her fellow volunteers."We are devoted to making an impact not only socially,but environmentally,"she says. And,of course,there's the symbolism of rescuing bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless.It's a powerful reminder that environmental problem and poverty often go hand in hand.As Jenny told hourdetroit.com,"I think it's time to show connections between all of these issues.” 24.What did Jenny ask the snack lovers to do with their empty chip bags? A.To give them away to her. B.To throw them into the trash C.To turn them into sleeping bags. D.To donate them to the homeless directly. 25.What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project? A.Its size is adjustable. B.It is only made ofold coats. C.It is convenient. D.It has the function of heating. 26.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A.Poverty results from environmental problems. B.Jenny started the project mainly to raise money. C.Jenny's project made 110 sleeping bags per month. D.The aim of the project is more than social issues. 27.Which words can best describe Jenny? A.Talented and brave. B.Generous and creative. C.Selfless and modest. D.Hardworking and loyal. 高二英语第4页共10页 C With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation,can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects?As more governments push for urgent action on climate change,quite a few companies are betting their future-that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles.Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero-emission (planes are coming.These changes,both leading to a more sustainable future,are reinventing how we get from here to there. Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile's() existence more than a century ago.Almost overnight the era of the electric car has arrived.Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise.Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025.Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150,customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them.The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one,but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain.Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being. High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles.No battery yet invented can power,say,a Boeing 747 from New York to London.Promising improvements,however. do add up.Developments with zero-emission,battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight,involving trips of limited duration and distance.Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight. Our planet's health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050,and yet,by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge,the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow.Nevertheless,the train has left the station.Someday,electric-powered transportation will be as common as air. 28.Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles? A.To reinvent the way we travel. B.To pursue sustainable development. C.To cut the costs of car production. D.To improve the quality of products. 29.What do we know about the electric car? A.It enjoys increasing popularity. B.It sells better than the traditional one. C.It came into use a century ago. D.It costs less than the gas-powered one. 30.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3? A.To show the disadvantages of battery power. B To emphasize the significance of short flights. C.To state the developments of commercial flight. D.To stress the future prospects of electric planes. 31.What does the author mean by saying "the train has left the station"? A.Train transportation has improved. B.The electric train is running regularly C.Green transportation is on its way. D.The gas-powered train has become the past. 高二英语第5页共10页 D The Forest Eye project aims to create the largest living forest feature in England by growing 5,000 alder,beech and maple trees into the shape of a child's eye.The trees are being planted in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire,with the help of local young people.The trees will form an eye 300 meters wide that will be visible from the sky in about six years,when they have grown. The project hopes to focus on the importance of young people's ideas for creating a healthy natural environment.It was designed by a company called Sand in Your Eye and has been created by Forestry England,an organization that protects forests and woodlands. Josephine Lavelle,director at Forestry England,says,"Having the gaze of a child growing in the heart of this beautiful and ever-changing forest is a powerful symbol of how we need to listen and respond to the needs and vision of future generations." The project also aims to highlight the important role that forests play in fighting climate change. As well as providing a home for wildlife,trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and create oxygen that humans need to breathe.When the trees have grown,they will provide a place for lots of wild animals,like bats,birds and small mammals to live.The Forest Eye will also create a space for people to explore and connect with nature. Jamie Wardley,artistic director at Sand in Your Eye,has plenty of experience creating pieces of "land art".These are huge drawings and sculptures made from grass,ice and sand,including a 60-meter portrait of Swedish climate-change campaigner Greta Thunberg on a school field in Yorkshire.He says, "The trees are my paint.""Our work is about prompting people to think deeply and respond emotionally to some of the biggest issues facing us,including the climate crisis."Wardley also plans to develop the Forest Eye into an even bigger project."It is our ambition to create the whole face of a young girl at the same scale,measuring 2,000 meters across.Those trees that are planted in the Forest Eye are the very beginning of this,"he says. 32.What can we know about the project? A.It is proposed by the local youth. B.It is carried out in the largest forest. C.It is aimed at creating artworks. D.It is planting trees to form an eye. 33.What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A.The value of children's ideas. B.The argument for the project. C.The benefits of tree D.The fight against climate change. 34.Which of the following can best describe Jamie Wardley? A.Creative. B.Ignorant. C.Emotional. D.Adventurous. 35.Which is the best title for the article? A.Land arts take off B.Giant eye planting kicks off C.Tree planting catches D.Environmental groups spring up 高二英语第6页共10页 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，共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。 According to a common saying."Honesty is the best policy."But in daily life,honesty can be difficult.Lying often seems like a good way to make people happy or avoid being punished for mistakes.Some people lie out of habit,without even realizing they're doing it.36 One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain.There's always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth.Is the advantage from lying really worth the risk?37 If you make up a story,you have to remember all the details.And the more lies you tell,the more stories you have to remember.But if you tell the truth.you will never have trouble remembering.This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you. 38 People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them.And a lie about someone else could destroy that person's reputation.If your friends find out you lied to them, their feelings will be hurt.They will question whether they can trust you or wonder whether you care about them.39 This will help you in every area of your life.Business deals,friendships, family and other relationships all depend on trust. Honesty,however,doesn't mean that you have to say everything you think.40 Honesty means that when you speak,you tell the truth without holding any information back.When you do that,you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships. A.But despite all this,honesty is really worth the effort. B.So in our life,we should avoid lying to win a good chance. C.It means you only tell the truth,or white lies when necessary. D.Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. E.Sometimes it's best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. F.Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. G.In contrast,if you always tell the truth,you will develop the reputation for honesty. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共二节；满分30分） 第一节：完型填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 高二英语第7页共10页 It was a sunny Sunday afternoon.My husband was taking care of our baby girl so that my six-year-old son and I could do some yard work,just the two of us.It was sure to be 41.But soon,the clouds of mosquitoes seemed42_to our bug spray(喷雾).I was sweating,.itchy(发痒 的)，and arguing with my son about_43_to pull weeds.I had told him the"right'”way一getting those weeds out from the bottom,by the roots,removing them entirely.

According to my interviews, I found that the benefits of doing housework include improving time management, relieving stress, and increasing cooperation skills. Besides, some students reveal that doing housework not only promotes family bonding but fosters personal growth. Most students also pointed out that doing housework can help them learn about responsibility and understanding the value of hard work. In conclusion, the benefits of doing housework are not only apparent in the physical labor, but also in the mental and emotional aspects of our lives. I highly recommend everyone to take some time to do housework. 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） During their time in China, Alex wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience.

Each passing day unfolded as a brand new adventure, and with every new encounter, Alex sensed a remarkable transformation within himself. His confidence grew, and he found himself increasingly open to the colorful world that enveloped him. Eventually, the time came for him to return to the United States. Back in the United States, Alex was a changed person. No longer did his gaze remain fixed on the pages of his textbook; instead, he looked up with newfound confidence and eagerness to actively participate. Engaging in class discussions, he fearlessly shared his thoughts and ideas with his classmates.
