C In much of the western United States,drought and access to fresh water is a critical issue.However,recently California came up with a novel solution.The state approved regulations that allow agencies to purify wastewater for drinking.This recycled wastewater may be consumed in homes,schools,and businesses. As the population in California has exploded in recent decades,the state has struggled to meet demands for fresh water.Recycled wastewater will allow the state to increase access to the precious resource. Recycled wastewater is not new to the state.It has previously been used in ice hockey rinks ()for crops,and to generate artificial snow.But now,water agencies will have the option to put recycled wastewater back into pipes for drinking.Califomia is only the second state to allow purified wastewater to be consumed.The first was Colorado in 2022. While the idea of drinking recycled wastewater may be off-putting,regulators spent more than a decade developing rules and regulations to ensure safety.Independent panels of scientists also reviewed the state's rules around recycled wastewater consumption.All water will be treated for pathogens (and viruses before being available for consumption. So far.the state's plan has been met with approval from large water agencies.Many of them have plans to construct wastewater recycling plans over the next few years.In Southern California,the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has set a goal aiming to produce 150 million gallons of direct and indirect recycled water per day.This water will be in the pipes of the 19 million people throughout the six counties that the agency serves. Officials are aware that a certain amount of public convincing may still be necessary.However,they remain optimistic about the future of the project,reminding consumers that the water is safe,and that recycled water is already in use in California 8.Why does Califomia pass new regulations about recycled wastewater? A.To ease the pressure of drought. B.To increase the supply of fresh water. C.To recycle the wastewater for industry D.To reduce the pollution of the wastewater. 9.What does the underlined word"off-putting"mean in paragraph 4? A.Surprising B.Necessary. C.Funny. D.Awful. 第6页/共12页 可学科网可组卷网 10.What can we learn from paragraph 5? A.The goal of wastewater recycling is hard to achieve. B.The state's plan will be conducted by water agencies. C.Southern California will reduce its water production D.People in California tend to prefer recycled water. 11.What do the public think of the recycled water project? A.Many people still disapprove of the project B.The public are optimistic about the project. C.It will never be suitable to use recycled water. D.The project is the only solution to water shortage. 八 Art,as a form of therapy ()was first developed in the 20th century and has gained in popularity in recent years.Self-expression through artistic creation has treated value for those who are seeking deeper understanding of themselves. From my own personal experience,art and creativity has been one of the few things that I can use to adjust and describe my inner most feelings.It was invaluable to have a space where I could lose myself even for just a moment in the brushstrokes (or pencil lines of whatever I was creating.Growing up,it was one of the only spaces where I could actually express my own emotions.Now,even though art is my job,I still use it to quite my mind and express myself. According to the British Association of Art Therapists,art can be used as a mode of expression and communication It is not necessary to have any prior experience in art because art is being used as a medium for curing and is not the main focus.Art therapy can treat people from all age groups,from children to the elderly.In addition,it can cure various psychological problems,including emotional or behavioral problems,learning or physical difficulties and so on. It is important to bear in mind that while current research does illustrate that art therapy improves mental health,these studies has a small number of people in them.Therefore,the conclusion cannot be considered definitive.More research is needed to find conclusive (evidence of the impact of art therapy on mental health. 12.How does art influence the author? A.It greatly inspires creativity. B.It brings spiritual comfort. 第7页/共12页 可学科网可组卷网 C.It enhances work efficiency D.It improves life quality 13.What can we know about art therapy according to paragraph 3? A.It can be widely applied to different generations. B.It mainly focuses on people's emotional problems C.It can help people treat their organ problems. D.It works better for people with an artistic experience. 14.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.Art therapy's targeted subjects. B.Art therapy's current experiment result. C.Art therapy's practical value. D.Art therapy's need for improvement. 15.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.Art:A Wonderful Job Trend B.Exploring the World of Art. C.Art:A New Way of Treatment D.Spreading Art to People. 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。 In today's digital age,we are constantly surrounded by technology.Smartphones,laptops,and various apps are an integral part of our lives.But is all this technology really beneficial?16It's a term used to describe the negative psychological effects that excessive or improper use of technology can bring.
