I’ve spent my entire career trying to advance the quality of artificial intelligence, or AI for short. But back in college, I majored in marketing and had absolutely no idea of AI at all. So how did I start my career in this field? Apple’s Siri was the first application of AI that I had ever known. From that invention, I knew AI would change the world one day. I then put my heart and efforts into it. That was 10 years ago. Luckily, it turns out that I have made the right choice. Now the industry has made much progress and is playing an increasingly important role in people’s life. The public nowadays feels excited about its development. AI frees them from boring and low-skilled tasks, making life a lot easier and more enjoyable. I feel that we are still in the early days of AI. Although there is still a long way to go, I believe AI will have a bright future. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A There are many apps that use mobile phone cameras and other devices that might surprise gardeners.

Carly Burd, from Harlow, England, found the soil covered in salt and posted a touching video about the incident on TikTok. Burd, who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus (多发性硬化症和狼疮), told viewers she believed someone went onto her plot of land and placed salt to destroy the work that she’s put in to help feed people in need. Last November, Burd began posting about her “A Meal on Me with Love”. “I changed my garden into a place to provide those on benefits, pensioners (领养老金的人) on state pension and those on a low income free organic fruit and vegetables plus other necessities of life. They receive a large box that contains necessities plus enough food, fruit, vegetables,rice, breakfast etc. for the number of people in the household,” Burd said. Up till now she’s fed more than 1,600 people among the cost of living crisis in the UK. After Burd shared her heartbreak on TikTok, users began providing lots of donations, advice, and support. Burd’s “A Meal on Me with Love” has been flooded with donations in light of this incident. As of Thursday morning, Burd’s GoFundMe campaign has raised £184,777 of its first £4,000 goal. “The world needs more people like you,” one person wrote with a $15 donation. “Your love and kindness for humanity is amazing. All of us would be so lucky to cross paths with someone like you in a time of need,” another person commented with a $10 donation. Burd said in an update that with the help of others she was able to dig up a lot of the salt and cover it with topsoil to neutralize (中和) it. “I’m really losing my head by everyone’s comments and everything,” she said. “I really do appreciate it — thank you.” 24.

(我把我的菜园变成了给领取救济金的人、领取养老金的人、低收入者免费提供有机水果和蔬菜等生活必需品的地方。)”以及第五段中网友的留言““The world needs more people like you,” one person wrote with a $15 donation. “Your love and kindness for humanity is amazing. All of us would be so lucky to cross paths with someone like you in a time of need,” another person commented with a $10 donation.(“这个世界需要更多像你这样的人，”一位捐款15美元的人写道。“你对人类的爱和善良令人惊叹。在需要的时候遇到像你这样的人，我们都很幸运，”另一位捐赠了10美元的人评论道。)”可知，Burd经常为那些领取救济金的人、领取养老金的人提供免费的水果、蔬菜和生活必需品，网友评价“世界需要她这样的人”，“她的爱与善良令人惊叹”等，综合以上信息可知，Burd是一个乐于助人且有同情心的人。故选B项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“Carly Burd, from Harlow, England, found the soil covered in salt and posted a touching video about the incident on TikTok.(来自英格兰哈洛的Carly Burd发现了覆盖着盐的土壤，并在TikTok上发布了一段关于这一事件的感人视频。)”可知，Carly Burd的菜园被人破坏并在TikTok上发布了视频，结合下文中的“After Burd shared her heartbreak on TikTok, users began providing lots of donations, advice, and support.(在Burd在TikTok上分享了她的心碎之后，用户开始提供大量捐赠、建议和支持。)”可知，人们看Burd在TikTok上分享了令她心碎的事件后，很多TikTok的用户开始为她提供大量的捐赠、建议和支持，由此可知，网上的人们给了Burd很大的支持和帮助。故选B项。 C Art is a reflection of society and culture. It helps us understand what we are as human beings and influences how we relate to each other. It’s also an expression of creativity that can be used for self-reflection or social influence. Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. Art is highly subjective and also very personal and has long been a medium where individuals can express their feelings and emotions. For many people, art has always been a part of their lives and is an essential part of their personality or who they are. Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives. Art helps people connect with one another on a deeper level, whether by speaking your language or by imagining your thoughts differently. Some artworks speak to someone more than others, and everyone will have a piece of art that is particularly important or special to them. Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It has been used to express emotions, to communicate ideas and it has been a way to pass down knowledge from one generation to another. So it is important in our cultural and social lives. Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations. Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository (宝库) of a given society’s collective memory. 28. What can art help people do according to the text? A. Control their feelings. B. Connect with artworks. C. Deal with tough times. D. Make more money. 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. Art is the best way to pass down knowledge in old times. B. People always use artworks to express their feelings instead of words. C. Art gives us an idea of how people lived before. D. The value of artworks hasn’t been discovered until now. 30. How does the author develop the last paragraph? A. By exploring reasons. B. By having a discussion. C. By providing numbers. D. By giving an example. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Where Can We Find Artworks? B. Pass Down the Artworks C. Why Is Art Important? D. Learn History from Art 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了艺术对个人以及我们的历史文化传承的重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives.(艺术有能力帮助人们度过人生中最艰难的时刻)”可知，艺术可以帮助人们应对艰难时刻。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations.(艺术在记录历史方面也发挥着作用，许多艺术品帮助我们描绘了前几代人的生活)”可知，艺术可以记录历史，帮助人们了解以前人们的生活。由此推知，艺术让我们了解以前的人是如何生活的。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository (宝库) of a given society’s collective memory.(例如，民间艺术是特定文化的高度独特性，讲述了一个地区的历史和丰富的传统。绘画、建筑、艺术雕塑、音乐、文学和许多其他美术可以被视为特定社会集体记忆的宝库)”可推知，作者通过列举民间艺术、绘画、建筑等例子来阐述自己的观点。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Art is a reflection of society and culture. It helps us understand what we are as human beings and influences how we relate to each other. It’s also an expression of creativity that can be used for self-reflection or social influence.(艺术是社会和文化的反映。它帮助我们理解我们作为人是什么，并影响我们如何相互联系。它也是一种创造力的表达，可以用于自我反思或社会影响)”、第二段首句“Art is important to individuals for many different reasons.(由于许多不同的原因，艺术对个人来说很重要)”、第五段首句“Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries.(几个世纪以来，艺术一直是人类文化的一部分)”、最后一段首句“Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world.(艺术作为全世界文化的象征也特别重要)”等可知，本文主要从个人、文化等方面阐述了艺术的重要性。由此推知，C项“为什么艺术很重要？”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。 D When we talk about plastic rubbish polluting the earth, we don’t often talk about the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. Actually, this packaging is often coated with environmentally damaging chemicals. Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one·five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry. Using seaweed to create sustainable (可持续的) alternatives to existing products isn’t a new concept. The idea of turning seaweed into a material to replace bubble wrap (气泡膜包装) was put forward more than seven years ago. This time, the Flinders University materials researchers andone·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials. In fact, these new non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace the traditional fossil-based plastic coatings that are used in most oil-proof fast-food packaging. The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution. It is as recyclable as paper, explains Dr Zhongfan Jia, a lead researcher from the Flinders Institute. “The seaweed extracts have a similar structure to the natural fibres from which paper is made,” says Dr Jia. “Our novel treatments boost the oil-proof feature of the seaweed through simple adaptation while neither affecting the biodegradability (生物降解力) nor recyclability of the coated paper.” “The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it,” says Claire Gusko, co-founder of one· five. Now Flinders University and one·five are trying mass production from the laboratory to the factory. Although achievements like this are definitely worth celebrating, we can’t just stop at seaweed packaging. We need to use seaweed and other sustainable tools to effectively help reduce our environmental impacts and make real changes. 32. What’re researchers from Flinder University and one five doing? A. Producing seaweed extracts. B. Solving the food waste problem. C. Turning seaweed into bubble wrap. D. Using seaweed to develop new coating materials. 33. What is the traditional plastic coating like? A. Cheap. B. Oil-proof. C. Recyclable. D. Sustainable. 34. What do we know about the seaweed extract coating? A. It is a novel concept. B. It has been put on the market. C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It is coated with damaging material. 35. Why does the author write the text? A. To stop people from using plastic package. B. To advertise for a new environmentally friendly product. C. To introduce a replacement for traditional packaging material. D. To warn readers of the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。快餐包装纸上的塑料涂膜也会造成污染，为了解决这一问题，研究者尝试用海草提取物来制作涂膜。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This time, the Flinders University materials researchers and one five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials.(这一次，弗林德斯大学的材料研究人员正在使用海藻提取物开发下一代涂层材料)”可知，研究者和one five正在使用海藻提取物开发下一代涂层材料。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution.(这种新型涂层不仅符合传统防油包装材料所要求的功能标准，而且还创造了一种环境可持续的解决方案)”可知，传统的包装是防油的。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it(该产品对环境来说可能是个好消息。我们可以用它减少有害的塑料污染)”可知，新的涂膜是环保的。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry.(最近，弗林德斯大学和德国生物材料开发商one - five的研究人员开始使用海藻来解决快餐业的包装垃圾问题)”结合本文介绍的是用海草提取物制作的涂膜来代替传统的塑料涂膜可知，作者写文章是为了引入传统包装材料的替代品。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后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。 How to Cheer up Your Friend The following tips will make your friend cheer up.

But try to help her asking questions such as, “What things can you do to make the situation better?” or “What’s been happening at work lately that’s been good?”(如果你的朋友对工作中的某件事很生气，帮助她看到事情积极的一面。在做出反应之前先听听她的问题。但试着帮助她问一些问题，比如，“你能做些什么来改善情况？”或者“最近工作上发生了什么好事？”)”可知，本段主要说明的是帮助朋友看到事情积极的一面，B选项“Help her to see the positive side(帮助她看到积极的一面)”概括了本段主要内容，可作为主题句。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据第三段的主题句“Send her a card or postcard.(给她寄张卡片或明信片。)”与空前一句“Drop a note in the mail to her.(给她寄封信。)”判断，本段建议给朋友写封邮件或者寄张明信片，因此推断空格处要说她寄卡片相关的内容，G项“If you include one with a funny card, that’s better(如果你附上一张有趣的卡片，那就更好了)”，符合语境，承接上文，呼应主题。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据该空后的“as they can help her build confidence and self-esteem(因为它们可以帮助她建立自信和自尊)”判断，空格处要说到一些帮助她建立自信和自尊的事情，E项“Don’t be afraid to tell your friend these things(不要害怕告诉你的朋友这些事)”提到要告诉朋友一些事情，其中的“these things”指代前面提到的有关“they are smart, strong, and beautiful”的事情，而告诉朋友这些事情能帮助她建立自信和自尊，与下文构成因果关系。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据主题句Try out new things together.(一起尝试新事物)和空后的“If you want your friends to be happy, encourage them to try new things with you.(如果你想让你的朋友开心，鼓励他们和你一起尝试新事物。)”判断，本段建议和朋友一起尝试新事物，因此空格处应该提到新事物，D项“In turn, discover new things you love(反过来，发现你喜欢的新事物)”提到要发现新事物，其中的“new things”和空后的“new things”相一致，因此D选项符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据空前的主题句“Bring her one of her favorite treats.(给她带一个她最喜欢的食物。)”与空后一句“Maybe she can’t live without an afternoon coffee, or maybe she has a special love for black forest cake.(也许她离不开下午的咖啡，也许她对黑森林蛋糕情有独钟。)”判断，本段建议给朋友带一些她最喜欢的美食，故C项“You know what your friend likes(你知道你朋友喜欢什么)”说到了你知道朋友喜欢什么，承上启下，呼应主题，引出下文朋友可能喜欢的食物。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, a poor boy was begging for a meal at a house.

So he pulled up in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said,“I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is BryanAnderson.” Well, all she had was a flat tire (爆胎), but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan checked under the car looking for a tool. Soon he was able to change the tire. As he was tightening up the lug nuts (螺帽), she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid. The lady asked how much she should pay him. Any amount would have been all right with her. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He told her, “If you really wanted to pay me back, next time you see someone in need, give them a hand.”It had been a cold and cheerless day, but he felt good as he headed for home. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. She went in to grab a bite to eat. It was a dirty-looking restaurant. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的), but she had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. 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 waitress came over and brought a clean towel to dry her wet hair. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then the waitress noticed something written on a tissue. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to dry her wet hair. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so kind to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan. After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady was gone by the time the waitress came back. She wondered where the lady could be. Then the waitress noticed something written on a tissue. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote,“You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the tissue were four more $100 bills. Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述的是一个老人的车爆胎后需要帮助，一个路过的人帮助她更换了轮胎并且没有收取任何的报酬，告诉老人如果想报答他的话，可以在以后帮助需要帮助的人，随后老人在回家的路上进入一家咖啡馆想吃点东西，一位怀孕8个月的服务员面带微笑地为她提供服务，而老人最后帮助这位服务员的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“女服务员走过来，拿来一条干净的毛巾帮她擦干湿头发。”可知，第一段可描写老人对这位服务员所做的事情的感受，结合第二段的提示内容，此处应涉及到老人做了什么后离开的。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后女服务员注意到一张纸巾上写着什么。”可知，第二段可描写纸巾上写的内容以及女服务员看到后的感受。 2.续写线索：服务员帮擦头发——吃饭——多支付餐费——纸巾上的内容——资助女服务员——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想知道：wonder/want to know ②回来：come back/return ③帮助摆脱困境：help sb out/get sb off the hook 【点睛】[高分句型1] The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so kind to a stranger. （运用了who引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] She wondered where the lady could be.（运用了where引导的宾语从句作wondered的宾语） [高分句型3] Under the tissue were four more $100 bills.（运用了全部倒装句式） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024~2025学年度第一学期期中考试 高二英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答;字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4.考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5.本卷主要考查内容：至北师大版选择性必修第二册 Unit4。 第一部分 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。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?

Carly Burd, from Harlow, England, found the soil covered in salt and posted a touching video about the incident on TikTok. Burd, who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus (多发性硬化症和狼疮), told viewers she believed someone went onto her plot of land and placed salt to destroy the work that she’s put in to help feed people in need. Last November, Burd began posting about her “A Meal on Me with Love”. “I changed my garden into a place to provide those on benefits, pensioners (领养老金的人) on state pension and those on a low income free organic fruit and vegetables plus other necessities of life. They receive a large box that contains necessities plus enough food, fruit, vegetables,rice, breakfast etc. for the number of people in the household,” Burd said. Up till now she’s fed more than 1,600 people among the cost of living crisis in the UK. After Burd shared her heartbreak on TikTok, users began providing lots of donations, advice, and support. Burd’s “A Meal on Me with Love” has been flooded with donations in light of this incident. As of Thursday morning, Burd’s GoFundMe campaign has raised £184,777 of its first £4,000 goal. “The world needs more people like you,” one person wrote with a $15 donation. “Your love and kindness for humanity is amazing. All of us would be so lucky to cross paths with someone like you in a time of need,” another person commented with a $10 donation. Burd said in an update that with the help of others she was able to dig up a lot of the salt and cover it with topsoil to neutralize (中和) it. “I’m really losing my head by everyone’s comments and everything,” she said. “I really do appreciate it — thank you.” 24.

It’s also an expression of creativity that can be used for self-reflection or social influence. Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. Art is highly subjective and also very personal and has long been a medium where individuals can express their feelings and emotions. For many people, art has always been a part of their lives and is an essential part of their personality or who they are. Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives. Art helps people connect with one another on a deeper level, whether by speaking your language or by imagining your thoughts differently. Some artworks speak to someone more than others, and everyone will have a piece of art that is particularly important or special to them. Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It has been used to express emotions, to communicate ideas and it has been a way to pass down knowledge from one generation to another. So it is important in our cultural and social lives. Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations. Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository (宝库) of a given society’s collective memory. 28. What can art help people do according to the text? A. Control their feelings. B. Connect with artworks. C. Deal with tough times. D. Make more money. 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 5? A. Art is the best way to pass down knowledge in old times. B. People always use artworks to express their feelings instead of words. C. Art gives us an idea of how people lived before. D. The value of artworks hasn’t been discovered until now. 30. How does the author develop the last paragraph? A. By exploring reasons. B. By having a discussion. C. By providing numbers. D. By giving an example. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Where Can We Find Artworks? B. Pass Down the Artworks C. Why Is Art Important? D. Learn History from Art D When we talk about plastic rubbish polluting the earth, we don’t often talk about the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. Actually, this packaging is often coated with environmentally damaging chemicals. Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one·five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry. Using seaweed to create sustainable (可持续的) alternatives to existing products isn’t a new concept. The idea of turning seaweed into a material to replace bubble wrap (气泡膜包装) was put forward more than seven years ago. This time, the Flinders University materials researchers andone·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials. In fact, these new non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace the traditional fossil-based plastic coatings that are used in most oil-proof fast-food packaging. The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution. It is as recyclable as paper, explains Dr Zhongfan Jia, a lead researcher from the Flinders Institute. “The seaweed extracts have a similar structure to the natural fibres from which paper is made,” says Dr Jia. “Our novel treatments boost the oil-proof feature of the seaweed through simple adaptation while neither affecting the biodegradability (生物降解力) nor recyclability of the coated paper.” “The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it,” says Claire Gusko, co-founder of one· five. Now Flinders University and one·five are trying mass production from the laboratory to the factory. Although achievements like this are definitely worth celebrating, we can’t just stop at seaweed packaging. We need to use seaweed and other sustainable tools to effectively help reduce our environmental impacts and make real changes. 32. What’re researchers from Flinder University and one five doing? A. Producing seaweed extracts. B. Solving the food waste problem. C. Turning seaweed into bubble wrap. D. Using seaweed to develop new coating materials. 33. What is the traditional plastic coating like? A. Cheap. B. Oil-proof. C. Recyclable. D. Sustainable. 34. What do we know about the seaweed extract coating? A. It is a novel concept. B. It has been put on the market. C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It is coated with damaging material. 35. Why does the author write the text? A. To stop people from using plastic package. B. To advertise for a new environmentally friendly product. C. To introduce a replacement for traditional packaging material. D. To warn readers of the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后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。 How to Cheer up Your Friend The following tips will make your friend cheer up.

So he pulled up in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said,“I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is BryanAnderson.” Well, all she had was a flat tire (爆胎), but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan checked under the car looking for a tool. Soon he was able to change the tire. As he was tightening up the lug nuts (螺帽), she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid. The lady asked how much she should pay him. Any amount would have been all right with her. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He told her, “If you really wanted to pay me back, next time you see someone in need, give them a hand.”It had been a cold and cheerless day, but he felt good as he headed for home. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. She went in to grab a bite to eat. It was a dirty-looking restaurant.
