When beach­loving Madison noticed those plastic bottles during her family's trips to California，the then 12­year­old just felt like this needed to be changed. So as she began thinking about what to do for her school science fair back in 2021，the idea of a project centered on reducing plastic pollution quickly came to her mind: She would design an eatable water bottle called the Eco­Hero. “One of my biggest ambitions for my project was wanting to help the world，” the confident young inventor said in a video on the website. To bring her idea to life，Madison built upon the already established method by experimenting with common food materials.She also took inspiration from previous versions of eatable water bottles，though she focused on making hers bigger and more durable.She found that the combination of water，lemon juice，natural gum，and Alginic acid(褐藻酸) resulted in a gel pouch that wouldn't break，could hold up to 3/4 cup of water，and would last in the fridge for three weeks. Though she'd like to improve the Eco­Hero by making it able to hold more water，she believes her current version would work well as a replacement for the paper cups used by runners in races.All one needs to do is bite a hole in the water ball，drink the water，and then eat the pouch or throw it away to biodegrade.Madison hopes the Eco­Hero inspires others to take better care of the planet.“It doesn't necessarily have to be in a big way，” she told Smithsonian Magazine.“People can still make a difference in the world，even if it's just in a small way.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。在发现很多塑料瓶未被循环利用时，当时12岁的Madison设计了由水、柠檬汁、天然树脂和褐藻酸制成的可食用凝胶袋以减少塑料污染的问题。她希望用自己的行动激励人们更好地照顾地球，为世界作出贡献。 1．What inspired Madison's design of an eatable water bottle? A．Her school's task. B．Her family's urge. C．Her love for nature. D．Her trips to the beach. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段和第三段的描述可知，当Madison和她的家人去加州旅行时她注意到那些塑料瓶未被循环利用，觉得这种状况需要改变一下，因此，在2021年开始考虑为她的学校科学展览做些什么时，她很快就想到了一项旨在减少塑料污染的项目：她将设计一个名为“生态英雄”的可食用水瓶。由此可知，是她去海滩的旅行激发了她的可食用水瓶的设计。故选D。 2．What can we know about the Eco­Hero? A．It is a copy of the previous versions. B．It is made from unbreakable materials. C．It is an improvement in size and durability. D．It has a hole and should be disposed once used. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“though she focused on making hers...in the fridge for three weeks”可知，Madison专注于让自己的设计更大、更耐用，她设计了由水、柠檬汁、天然树脂和褐藻酸制成的凝胶袋，该产品不会破裂，可容纳多达3/4杯水，并且还可以在冰箱里保存三周。由此可知，“生态英雄”在容量和耐用性方面进行了改进。故选C。 3．Which of the following words can best describe Madison? A．Ambitious and creative. B．Talented and determined. C．Courageous and confident. D．Cooperative and committed. 解析　A　推理判断题。Madison设计了可食用凝胶袋，由此可知她富有创造力；由第四段可知，Madison的最大抱负之一就是想帮助世界；由最后一段可知，她认为人们可以改变这个世界，即使只是在一个小的方面。由此可推知，Madison既有创造力又有雄心壮志。故选A。 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．A Good Beginning is Half Done. B．Small People Make Big Moves. C．Where There is a Will，There is a Way. D．God Helps Those Who Help Themselves. 解析　B　标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了当时才12岁的Madison设计了可食用凝胶袋以减少塑料污染的问题。她希望能激励人们更好地照顾地球，为世界做出贡献。故本文可用B项(小人物采取大行动)作最佳标题。故选B。 B (2024·兰州诊断考试)The oceans play a crucial role in lightening global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.However，in a study conducted by the University of Texas at Austin，researchers found that the oceans' capacity to absorb carbon dioxide would reach its maximum by 2100 and decrease to half of its current efficiency by 2300，based on a climate simulation (模拟) that was set for a worst­case emissions scenario (设想). The decline happens because of a surface layer of low­alkalinity (碱度) water that can hinder the ability of the oceans to absorb CO2.Alkalinity affects how much CO2 can dissolve in seawater.Although the emissions scenario used in the study is unlikely because of global efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions，the findings reveal a previously unknown tipping point that if activated would release an important brake on global warming. “We need to think about these worst­case scenarios to understand how our CO2 emissions might affect the oceans not just this century，but next century and the following century.Climate simulations had previously shown that the oceans slow their absorption of CO2 over time，but none had considered alkalinity as an explanation.We recalculated pieces of a 450­year simulation until we hit on alkalinity as a key cause of the slowing，” said Megumi Chikamoto，who led the research at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The effect begins with extreme climate change，which slows ocean currents.This leaves the surface of the oceans covered in a warm layer of fresh water that won't mix easily with the cooler，more alkaline water below it.That means more of the greenhouse gas is left in the atmosphere.This in turn produces faster warming，which sustains and strengthens the low­alkalinity surface layer.Co­author，Pedro DiNezio，said that the discovery was a powerful reminder that the world needs to reduce its CO2 emissions to avoid crossing this and other tipping points. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。在未来，海洋吸收二氧化碳能力的下降会导致全球变暖。 5．What may happen after the year 2300? A．More CO2 will be absorbed by the oceans. B．The oceans will lose all their current efficiency. C．The world will face even more severe warming. D．The oceans will be less crucial to global warming. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据题目中的2300可以定位到第一段中的“researchers found that the oceans' capacity...decrease to half of its current efficiency by 2300”可知，到2300年，海洋吸收二氧化碳的效率将降低一半，再由上文中的“The oceans play a crucial role in lightening global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide(CO2)emissions”可知，海洋通过吸收二氧化碳在减缓全球变暖方面起着至关重要的作用。由此可知，一旦海洋吸收二氧化碳的效率降低，全球变暖问题将更严重。故选C。 6．What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Improve. B．Weaken. C．Protect. D．Control. 解析　B　词义猜测题。分析画线词所在句的结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词为“a surface layer of low­alkalinity(碱度) water”，再由“The decline happens”可知，海洋表层的低碱度海水应该是能够削弱海洋吸收二氧化碳的能力。故hinder意为“削弱”，即weaken，故选B。 7．What does Megumi Chikamoto say about the oceans? A．Finding why they slow CO2 intake is hard. B．Their ability to absorb CO2 is at their maximum. C．They will decide on the future of human beings. D．They will slow down CO2 absorption very quickly. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Climate simulations had previously shown...none had considered alkalinity as an explanation”可知，以前的气候模拟只是表明一直以来海洋吸收二氧化碳的能力在减弱，但是没有一个考虑到是碱度的原因。由此可知，Megumi Chikamoto应谈到查明为什么海洋降低二氧化碳的吸收很困难。故选A。 8．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A biology textbook. B．A government report. C．Science fiction. D．An environmental journal. 解析　D　文章出处题。文章主要介绍了海洋吸收二氧化碳的能力对气候变暖的影响，与自然环境紧密相关，故文章有可能来自一本环境期刊，故选D。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·东北三省四市联考)This was a big game.The boys were 1 and excited.It was a clear night，and my son Andy's baseball team，which had 2 all year，had shocked the better teams by making it to this championship game.The atmosphere was 3 ： the other team's slugger(强击手)，a big kid，was like a snake，dangerous and ready to 4 ． Nervously，I looked out for Andy's way.I was 5 to see Andy looking straight up at the night sky! Obviously he wasn't 6 on the game.I was horrified that he wouldn't even know the ball was coming. “Come on，Andy. 7 out there，” I said to myself. Thank goodness the big kid made a mistake.We (Andy and I) had been 8 ，and our team still led by one run. Andy ran up to me at the 9 ．I was about to 10 him when he said loudly，“Did you see that shooting star？” Andy's eyes were glowing(喜形于色) with 11 ．I paused. “Yes，” I said.“Well，one inning(局) to go.Hit a home run(本垒打)！” “Okay！” said Andy，and he ran back to his 12 . I suddenly realized it was nice that my son would take time out to 13 the wonder and beauty in life.You might be surprised by the beauty you can find when you least 14 it.Andy hit a triple in that last inning.But I still wish I had 15 that shooting star，too. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者看儿子Andy的冠军赛，但看到他在看夜空而未专注于比赛，作者本想责备他，但最后从另一个角度意识到儿子善于发现生活中的美，自己也因此改变了态度。 1．A.nervous B．puzzled C．curious D．ashamed 解析　A　根据空前的“big game”和下文的“this championship game”可知，这是一场冠军赛，参加比赛的男孩们都很紧张、激动，故选A。 2．A.won B．struggled C．prayed D．run 解析　B　Andy的棒球队成功进入了这场冠军赛，震惊了其他更好的队伍。故可推测作者儿子Andy的棒球队人员一年来都在努力奋斗，故选B。 3．A.electric B．friendly C．casual D．romantic 解析　A　根据下文中的“the other tear's slugger(强击手)，a big kid，was like a snake，dangerous”可知，气氛是令人激动的，因为对方的强击手是个高大的孩子，像蛇一样，很危险。故选A。electric“充满刺激的，令人激动的”，此处为熟词生义。 4．A.flee B．climb C．jump D．strike 解析　D　由上文可知，这是一场冠军赛，所以此处指另一支球队的强击手是个高大的孩子，就像一条蛇，很危险，随时准备进攻。strike意为“突击，攻击”，符合语境。 5．A.amused B．thrilled C．shocked D．satisfied 解析　C　空前谈到作者很紧张地看着儿子Andy，但是看到Andy直直地盯着夜空看，作者觉得很吃惊，故选C。amused“被逗乐的，觉得好笑的”；thrilled“非常兴奋，极为激动”。 6．A.carrying B．reflecting C．commenting D．focusing 解析　D　Andy在赛场上却直直地盯着夜空看，很明显他当时没有专注于这次比赛。下文中的“he wouldn't even know the ball was coming”也是提示，故选D。carry on“继续，开展，参与”；reflect on“认真思考，沉思”，comment on“评论”；focus on“专注于”。 7．A.Settle down B．Stand up C．Wake up D．Lie down 解析　C　根据上文可知儿子Andy当时注意力没有在球赛上，故此处指作者自言自语道：“快点，Andy，打起精神。”settle down“安顿下来”；wake up“活跃起来，清醒”。故选C。 8．A.informed B．punished C．warned D．spared 解析　D　虽然Andy的注意力没在球赛上，但这个时候另一队的大孩子犯了一个错误。Andy和作者“幸免于难”，Andy的球队仍然领先一分。spare意为“饶恕，赦免，放过，使逃脱”，符合语境。故选D。 9．A.meeting B．break C．corner D．entrance 解析　B　根据常识可知，在比赛休息期间，Andy才能跑到作者身边。break“间歇，休息”。 10．A.blame B．comfort C．entertain D．threaten 解析　A　上文提到比赛的时候，Andy直直地盯着天空，没有专注于这次比赛，所以此处指作者生气了，想责备他，故选A。 11．A.anger B．anxiety C．excitement D．confidence 解析　C　根据上文中的“Did you see that shooting star？”以及空前的“Andy's eyes were glowing(喜形于色)”可知，此处指Andy喜形于色，很兴奋，故选C。 12．A.teammates B．fans C．parents D．stars 解析　A　根据作者所说的“Well，one inning(局) to go.Hit a home run(本垒打)！”可知，作者说还有一局要打，故Andy应是跑回到队员身边，故选teammates“同队队员”。 13．A.create B．research C．explain D．appreciate 解析　D　上文讲Andy直直地盯着夜空看，结合空后的“the wonder and beauty in life (生活中的奇迹和美)”和四个选项可知，应选appreciate“欣赏”与之搭配。句意：我突然意识到，我儿子能抽出时间来欣赏生活中的奇迹和美，真是太好了。 14．A.need B．expect C．afford D．suspect 解析　B　你可能会惊讶于你最意想不到的时候所能发现的美丽。least expect“最意想不到”，故选expect。 15．A.become B．filmed C．seen D．followed 解析　C　根据语境尤其是上文的“Did you see that shooting star？”中的see可知本空选seen。句意：但我仍旧希望我也看到了那颗流星。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
