Firstly, Mohiuddin was looking at global environmental issues with the hope of finding one that his entrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit could deal with. He would finally focus on plastic use, the overreliance on it in society, and the dangers of plastic pollution in the form of microplastic particles (颗粒). In particular, he wanted to find an alternative to one of the most common plastic products used today: the plastic shopping bag.
According to The Better India, he started studying a biodegradable polymer (生物可降解聚合物) that was first formed and researched in the 1980s called PBAT. At the time, it was made with corn and potatoes. After identifying a suitable class of machinery to produce the PBAT bags in Gujarat, his speech on PBAT received nearly $100,000 in seed funding that allowed him to start the project.
“I tried to balance both my studies and the operations of the company — from collecting raw material, helping workers to produce bags, to delivering the products in the market,” Mohiuddin told The Better India. “I used to sleep in a corner in the factory.” Overcoming bankruptcy (破产), university studies, and long-term unfinished orders, Mohiuddin’s startup company finally started to make profits, and today produces almost 500,000 bags per year, with a total revenue of $ 180,000.
“I am glad I am able to contribute my part. Not having a normal college life can be tiring sometimes but in the end, it is all worth it. I feel content when I go back to sleep. But much more needs to be done to make India plastic-free, and I will continue to strive for it,” he adds.
4. What is the primary focus of Mohiuddin’s entrepreneurial efforts?
A. To develop replacements to plastic shopping bags.
B. To improve traditional plastic products.
C. To promote the use of corn in producing.
D. To lengthen the use of plastic shopping bags.
5. What was the result of Mohiuddin’s speech on PBAT?
A. He received a sum of money for his studies. B. He gained the fund to start his project.
C. He got to know many investors. D. He decided to put off the project.
6. What can be inferred about Mohiuddin from paragraph 3?
A. He solved many kinds of environmental issues.
B. He was willing to lose personal comfort for his goals.
C. He considered learning more important than business.
D. He sought advice from experts for developing his business.
7. How does Mohiuddin feel about the progress he has made?
A. Confused. B. Regretful. C. Satisfied. D. Challenged.
C
A fin whale body that was washed ashore at San Diego’s Pacific Beach was discovered to have many bite marks from killer whales, which could have contributed to its death, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). At first, NOAA researchers deemed the marks might be from sharks, but further analysis (分析) by experts showed that these were actually rake (耙子) marks, an unusual feature of killer whales, as stated by NOAA spokesperson Michael Milstein.
While it is possible that killer whales played a role in the fin whale’s death, NOAA has not confirmed that they were the definitive cause. Milstein noted that there are documented instances where killer whales have chased fin whales, causing them to beach themselves in attempts to escape. This suggests that killer whales could have influenced the whale’s fate (命运), but there is no certainty that they were the direct cause of death.
Additionally, NOAA reported sightings of a group of about a dozen killer whales along the Southern California coast, including San Diego. Boaters in the area filmed footage of a group of killer whales actively chasing and likely feeding on dolphins near Torrey Pines. This indicates that killer whales are currently active in the region and may be involved in various predatory (捕食性的) behaviors.
The fin whale’s body was discovered on December 10. Lifeguards spent the entire day trying to drag the whale back out to sea, but despite their efforts, the body returned to shore at least once. The whale was observed bleeding from its side, and attempts to pull it away using a small boat connected to its tail were unsuccessful. Fin whales, which are the second-largest whale species on Earth after blue whales, are considered endangered and relatively few in number. These whales can weigh up to 100,000 pounds. NOAA highly values public reports regarding stranded (搁浅的) or injured sea animals. NOAA extremely appreciates such reports and encourages the public to provide information on how to report these incidents. NOAA supposes that it is time for all to work together.
8 What does the underlined word “deemed” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Complained. B. Persuaded. C. Believed. D. Advocated.
9. What could killer whales do to cause the possible death of the fin whale?
A. Drag it to the shore. B. Hit it unexpectedly.
C. Attack it in a group. D. Chase it until it beached itself.
10. What can we know about killer whales from paragraph 3?
A. Their presence is causing concern for locals.
B. They are a new threat to the local ecosystem.
C. They are hardly engaging in predatory behaviors.
D. They are being observed frequently near Torrey Pines.
11. What is NOAA’s attitude towards public reports?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Worried.
D
Low levels of vitamin (维生素) D could lead to a slower recovery process in children with broken bones, according to research to be presented at a conference this weekend.
“Children need to be given well-balanced diets that include vitamin D to maintain children’s overall health and ensure efficient recovery when injuries occur,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Jessica McQuerry of the University of Florida.
McQuerry’s team examined data about 166 patients, from babies to 17-year-olds, who had broken a bone between 2015 and 2022. They found that in 61.4 percent of cases, the children had low levels of vitamin D and these children were likely to take significantly longer to recover.
Professor Scarlett McNally, the deputy director of London’s Center for Perioperative Care, said, “Vitamin D helps in many body functions, including repair of bones and tissues. It is a vitamin that helps the body manage calcium which keeps your bones strong and is needed for muscles to contract. Vitamin D also has a role in immune (免疫) function, helping your body deal with infection and cancer. It also has a role in cell division—essential for tissue repair.”
The study’s authors said that previous studies had focused on how vitamin D can help prevent fractures (骨折), but this new research is making up for the fact that vitamin D for children’s fractures had been largely unexplored up to this point. They recommended testing your child for vitamin D levels if a broken bone is taking a long time to recover.
Vitamin D can be found in a variety of foods. Dairy products, such as milk and cheese, are particularly high in the nutrient, but it is also found in fish, eggs and some vegetables.
Sunlight exposure can help the body absorb vitamin D. “Getting outside and enjoying the fresh air can do wonders for your recovery while also upping vitamin D absorption,” McQuerry said.
12. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The side effects of medicine. B. The good ways to keep fit.
C. The functions of vitamin D. D. The roles of bones and tissues.
13. How does the new research differ from previous studies?
A. It uncovers the secret of tasty foods. B. It offers deep insights into vitamin D.
C. It focuses on teenage exercise routine. D. It provides the cure for broken bones.
14. What do the study’s authors advise parents to do?
A. Eat vegetables as much as possible. B. Ask their family members to work out.
C. Check vitamin D levels of their kids. D. Refuse dairy products in the supermarket.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Well-balanced Diets Help Teenagers Grow up B. Exploring Nature Plays a Key Role in Life
C. Researchers Find a New Kind of Vitamin D. Vitamin D Is Vital for Children

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In my grandparents’ era, the question of whether to repair or replace an item was unrelated. Repair was usually the only option. So, when faced with a broken hoe (锄头), I let my brain do a little time traveling and decided to make the repair, just like Grandpa would have done.
I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, seeking for just the right tools in my odd collection. I would value the strong cords of connection tying together present and past generations. Working with objects that have a history is satisfying, and I love thinking about the hands that used them to keep homes, farms, or autos running smoothly.
Finally, I chose my favorite hammer (锤子) from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa’s hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint and small cuts from a lifetime of projects. I love how he’d used a bent horseshoe nail to tighten the head to the handle.
With just the right bolt (螺栓) I just found in hand, I was ready to begin to repair. Along with his hammer, I thought about how Grandpa always stressed the importance of having the right tools for a job. While I was immersed in the repairs and my memories, my neighbor’s child, Paul, came running over asking for help. His bicycle chain had come off again, and this was something I could lend a hand to do.
I set aside my work and took Paul to his bike. Fixing a chain wasn’t hard, but Paul clearly lacked the know-how. As I taught him, I shared with him the lesson passed down from my grandfather: The right tool and the related knowledge are essential for completing any job. Paul watched attentively and curiously.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few moments later, we managed to get the chain back on track.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thinking of the hammer, I decided to start a small club to repair old items for kids in the community every Friday.

Firstly, Mohiuddin was looking at global environmental issues with the hope of finding one that his entrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit could deal with. He would finally focus on plastic use, the overreliance on it in society, and the dangers of plastic pollution in the form of microplastic particles (颗粒). In particular, he wanted to find an alternative to one of the most common plastic products used today: the plastic shopping bag.
According to The Better India, he started studying a biodegradable polymer (生物可降解聚合物) that was first formed and researched in the 1980s called PBAT. At the time, it was made with corn and potatoes. After identifying a suitable class of machinery to produce the PBAT bags in Gujarat, his speech on PBAT received nearly $100,000 in seed funding that allowed him to start the project.
“I tried to balance both my studies and the operations of the company — from collecting raw material, helping workers to produce bags, to delivering the products in the market,” Mohiuddin told The Better India. “I used to sleep in a corner in the factory.” Overcoming bankruptcy (破产), university studies, and long-term unfinished orders, Mohiuddin’s startup company finally started to make profits, and today produces almost 500,000 bags per year, with a total revenue of $ 180,000.
“I am glad I am able to contribute my part. Not having a normal college life can be tiring sometimes, but in the end, it is all worth it. I feel content when I go back to sleep. But much more needs to be done to make India plastic-free, and I will continue to strive for it,” he adds.
4. What is the primary focus of Mohiuddin’s entrepreneurial efforts?
A. To develop replacements to plastic shopping bags.
B. To improve traditional plastic products.
C To promote the use of corn in producing.
D. To lengthen the use of plastic shopping bags.
5. What was the result of Mohiuddin’s speech on PBAT?
A. He received a sum of money for his studies. B. He gained the fund to start his project.
C. He got to know many investors. D. He decided to put off the project.
6. What can be inferred about Mohiuddin from paragraph 3?
A. He solved many kinds of environmental issues.
B. He was willing to lose personal comfort for his goals.
C. He considered learning more important than business.
D. He sought advice from experts for developing his business.
7. How does Mohiuddin feel about the progress he has made?
A. Confused. B. Regretful. C. Satisfied. D. Challenged.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】

A fin whale body that was washed ashore at San Diego’s Pacific Beach was discovered to have many bite marks from killer whales, which could have contributed to its death, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). At first, NOAA researchers deemed the marks might be from sharks, but further analysis (分析) by experts showed that these were actually rake (耙子) marks, an unusual feature of killer whales, as stated by NOAA spokesperson Michael Milstein.
While it is possible that killer whales played a role in the fin whale’s death, NOAA has not confirmed that they were the definitive cause. Milstein noted that there are documented instances where killer whales have chased fin whales, causing them to beach themselves in attempts to escape. This suggests that killer whales could have influenced the whale’s fate (命运), but there is no certainty that they were the direct cause of death.
Additionally, NOAA reported sightings of a group of about a dozen killer whales along the Southern California coast, including San Diego. Boaters in the area filmed footage of a group of killer whales actively chasing and likely feeding on dolphins near Torrey Pines. This indicates that killer whales are currently active in the region and may be involved in various predatory (捕食性的) behaviors.
The fin whale’s body was discovered on December 10. Lifeguards spent the entire day trying to drag the whale back out to sea, but despite their efforts, the body returned to shore at least once. The whale was observed bleeding from its side, and attempts to pull it away using a small boat connected to its tail were unsuccessful. Fin whales, which are the second-largest whale species on Earth after blue whales, are considered endangered and relatively few in number. These whales can weigh up to 100,000 pounds. NOAA highly values public reports regarding stranded (搁浅的) or injured sea animals. NOAA extremely appreciates such reports and encourages the public to provide information on how to report these incidents. NOAA supposes that it is time for all to work together.
8. What does the underlined word “deemed” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Complained. B. Persuaded. C. Believed. D. Advocated.
9. What could killer whales do to cause the possible death of the fin whale?
A. Drag it to the shore. B. Hit it unexpectedly.
C. Attack it in a group. D. Chase it until it beached itself.
10. What can we know about killer whales from paragraph 3?
A. Their presence is causing concern for locals.
B. They are a new threat to the local ecosystem.
C. They are hardly engaging in predatory behaviors.
D. They are being observed frequently near Torrey Pines.
11. What is NOAA’s attitude towards public reports?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Worried.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)关于一头在圣地亚哥太平洋海滩发现的长须鲸尸体的调查结果,包括鲸鱼身上的咬痕、可能的死因、虎鲸在该地区的活动情况,以及NOAA对公众报告的重视和呼吁。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“but further analysis (分析) by experts showed that these were actually rake (耙子) marks, an unusual feature of killer whales, as stated by NOAA spokesperson Michael Milstein. (但NOAA发言人Michael Milstein表示,专家们的进一步分析显示,这些实际上是耙状痕迹,是虎鲸的一个不寻常特征)”可推测,研究人员本以为这些痕迹是鲨鱼留下的,但后来的研究认为是虎鲸造成的。由此可知,划线词deemed为“认为”之意。选项A“Complained (抱怨)”;选项B“Persuaded (劝服)”;选项C“Believed (认为)”;选项D“Advocated (提倡)”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Milstein noted that there are documented instances where killer whales have chased fin whales, causing them to beach themselves in attempts to escape.( Milstein指出,有记录显示,虎鲸曾追逐长须鲸,导致长须鲸为逃避而搁浅)”可知,虎鲸可能一直追逐长须鲸直到它搁浅,从而可能导致其死亡。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Boaters in the area filmed footage of a group of killer whales actively chasing and likely feeding on dolphins near Torrey Pines. This indicates that killer whales are currently active in the region and may be involved in various predatory (捕食性的) behaviors.(该地区的水手拍摄到了虎鲸群在托雷松林附近积极追逐并可能捕食海豚的画面。这表明虎鲸目前在该地区活动频繁,并可能参与各种捕食行为)”可知,托雷松林附近的水手经常观察到虎鲸。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“NOAA highly values public reports regarding stranded (搁浅的) or injured sea animals. NOAA extremely appreciates such reports and encourages the public to provide information on how to report these incidents. NOAA supposes that it is time for all to work together.(NOAA非常重视公众关于搁浅或受伤海洋动物的报告。NOAA对这类报告表示高度赞赏,并鼓励公众提供有关如何报告这些事件的信息。NOAA认为,现在是时候让大家携手合作了)”可推测,NOAA对公众报告是持支持态度的。故选A。
D
Low levels of vitamin (维生素) D could lead to a slower recovery process in children with broken bones, according to research to be presented at a conference this weekend.
“Children need to be given well-balanced diets that include vitamin D to maintain children’s overall health and ensure efficient recovery when injuries occur,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Jessica McQuerry of the University of Florida.
McQuerry’s team examined data about 166 patients, from babies to 17-year-olds, who had broken a bone between 2015 and 2022. They found that in 61.4 percent of cases, the children had low levels of vitamin D and these children were likely to take significantly longer to recover.
Professor Scarlett McNally, the deputy director of London’s Center for Perioperative Care, said, “Vitamin D helps in many body functions, including repair of bones and tissues. It is a vitamin that helps the body manage calcium which keeps your bones strong and is needed for muscles to contract. Vitamin D also has a role in immune (免疫) function, helping your body deal with infection and cancer. It also has a role in cell division—essential for tissue repair.”
The study’s authors said that previous studies had focused on how vitamin D can help prevent fractures (骨折), but this new research is making up for the fact that vitamin D for children’s fractures had been largely unexplored up to this point. They recommended testing your child for vitamin D levels if a broken bone is taking a long time to recover.
Vitamin D can be found in a variety of foods. Dairy products, such as milk and cheese, are particularly high in the nutrient, but it is also found in fish, eggs and some vegetables.
Sunlight exposure can help the body absorb vitamin D. “Getting outside and enjoying the fresh air can do wonders for your recovery while also upping vitamin D absorption” McQuerry said.
12. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The side effects of medicine. B. The good ways to keep fit.
C. The functions of vitamin D. D. The roles of bones and tissues.
13. How does the new research differ from previous studies?
A. It uncovers the secret of tasty foods. B. It offers deep insights into vitamin D.
C. It focuses on teenage exercise routine. D. It provides the cure for broken bones.
14. What do the study’s authors advise parents to do?
A. Eat vegetables as much as possible. B. Ask their family members to work out.
C. Check vitamin D levels of their kids. D. Refuse dairy products in the supermarket.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Well-balanced Diets Help Teenagers Grow up B. Exploring Nature Plays a Key Role in Life
C. Researchers Find a New Kind of Vitamin D. Vitamin D Is Vital for Children
【答案】12 C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了维生素D对儿童骨折后恢复过程的影响,以及维生素D的来源和作用等相关知识。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Professor Scarlett McNally, the deputy director of London’s Center for Perioperative Care, said, “Vitamin D helps in many body functions, including repair of bones and tissues. It is a vitamin that helps the body manage calcium which keeps your bones strong and is needed for muscles to contract. Vitamin D also has a role in immune (免疫) function, helping your body deal with infection and cancer. It also has a role in cell division—essential for tissue repair.”(伦敦围手术期护理中心副主任Scarlett McNally教授表示:“维生素D有助于身体的多种功能,包括骨骼和组织的修复。它是一种帮助身体管理钙质的维生素,使骨骼保持强壮,并且是肌肉收缩所必需的。维生素D还在免疫功能中发挥作用,有助于身体应对感染和癌症。它还在细胞分裂中发挥作用——这是组织修复所必需的。”)”可知,本段主要讲述了Scarlett McNally教授对维生素D的看法,教授认为维生素D有助于身体管理钙质、在免疫功能中发挥作用以及在细胞分裂中发挥作用,这些内容都是在介绍维生素D的功能。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The study’s authors said that previous studies had focused on how vitamin D can help prevent fractures (骨折), but this new research is making up for the fact that vitamin D for children’s fractures had been largely unexplored up to this point.(该研究的作者表示,以前的研究主要关注维生素D如何有助于预防骨折,但这项新研究弥补了迄今为止儿童骨折与维生素D之间关系在很大程度上未被探索的不足)”可知,之前的研究主要关注维生素D如何预防骨折,而这项新研究则侧重于维生素D对儿童骨折恢复的作用,这提供了对维生素D的深刻见解。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“They recommended testing your child for vitamin D levels if a broken bone is taking a long time to recover.(他们建议,如果骨折恢复时间过长,应检测孩子的维生素D水平)”可知,研究的作者建议父母如果孩子的骨折恢复时间过长,应该检查孩子的维生素D水平。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段““Children need to be given well-balanced diets that include vitamin D to maintain children’s overall health and ensure efficient recovery when injuries occur,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Jessica McQuerry of the University of Florida.(佛罗里达大学的Jessica McQuerry博士是该研究的主要作者,她表示:“为了保持儿童的整体健康,并确保在发生伤害时能够有效恢复,需要为儿童提供包含维生素D的均衡饮食。”)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了维生素D对儿童骨折后恢复过程的影响,以及维生素D的来源和作用等相关知识,说明了维生素D对儿童而言非常重要。选项D“Vitamin D Is Vital for Children (维生素D对儿童至关重要)”能够概括文章的主要内容。故选D。

Online Shopping
Online shopping has become a popular trend among high school students. It offers convenience, allowing us to shop from the comfort of our homes. With a few clicks, we can browse through a wide range of products and compare prices easily. Moreover, online stores often provide discounts and deals that are hard to find in physical stores.
However, I believe there are downsides to online shopping. The inability to see or try products before buying can lead to disappointment. Additionally, the environmental impact of packaging and delivery should not be overlooked. Despite these concerns, I think online shopping is here to stay and will continue to develop, making our lives more convenient.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In my grandparents’ era, the question of whether to repair or replace an item was unrelated. Repair was usually the only option. So, when faced with a broken hoe (锄头), I let my brain do a little time traveling and decided to make the repair, just like Grandpa would have done.
I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, seeking for just the right tools in my odd collection. I would value the strong cords of connection tying together present and past generations. Working with objects that have a history is satisfying, and I love thinking about the hands that used them to keep homes, farms, or autos running smoothly.
Finally, I chose my favorite hammer (锤子) from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa’s hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint and small cuts from a lifetime of projects. I love how he’d used a bent horseshoe nail to tighten the head to the handle.
With just the right bolt (螺栓) I just found in hand, I was ready to begin to repair. Along with his hammer, I thought about how Grandpa always stressed the importance of having the right tools for a job. While I was immersed in the repairs and my memories, my neighbor’s child, Paul, came running over asking for help. His bicycle chain had come off again, and this was something I could lend a hand to do.
I set aside my work and took Paul to his bike. Fixing a chain wasn’t hard, but Paul clearly lacked the know-how. As I taught him, I shared with him the lesson passed down from my grandfather: The right tool and the related knowledge are essential for completing any job. Paul watched attentively and curiously.
注意:

A few moments later, we managed to get the chain back on track.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thinking of the hammer, I decided to start a small club to repair old items for kids in the community every Friday.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A few moments later, we managed to get the chain back on track. Paul’s face lit up with pride and he said loudly, “Thank you for helping me. Now I know how to fix it and I can fix it myself next time!” I replied, “My pleasure.” As I waved him goodbye, I felt a sense of accomplishment that went beyond the simple act of repairing a hoe or a bike chain. It was about passing on a valuable lesson and perhaps inspiring a younger generation to embrace the same values of self-reliance.
Thinking of the hammer, I decided to start a small club to repair old items for kids in the community every Friday. My club not only taught practical skills but also promoted environmental awareness. So every Friday afternoon, a group of kids would gather in the community center to learn something about fixing and recycling, together with their broken toys and various household items in need of repair. As the months went by, the club became a center of innovation and learning, showing we could breathe new life into old things and build stronger bonds with each other.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者在面对破损物品时,选择像祖父一样进行修理,而不是更换。作者从旧工具箱中寻找合适的工具,并特别提到了使用父亲传承自祖父的锤子进行修理的过程。同时,作者还通过帮助邻居孩子Paul修理自行车链,传递了从祖父那里学到的教训:正确的工具和相关知识对于完成任何工作都是至关重要的。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“过了一会儿,我们成功地把链条装回了原位。”可知,第一段可描写自行车修好后Paul的反应以及作者的感受。
②由第二段首句内容“想到那把锤子,我决定每周五成立一个小俱乐部,为社区里的孩子们修理旧物品。”可知,第二段可描写作者成立俱乐部后所做的事情以及影响。
2.续写线索:表示感谢——感受成就感——建立社团——每周五活动——影响

修理:fix/repair
回应:reply/respond
接受:embrace/jump at
