His creations are made entirely from items people have thrown away,such as discarded wooden pallets,old fencing,.and broken sheds.It's important to him that he doesn't add to the growing landfills(垃圾填埋场)on our planet.He thinks of discarded items as art supplies and a source of inspiration. As a kid,Thomas wanted to build all sorts of things,from a skateboard ramp to a tree house in his backyard.He had lots of energy and creativity.The problem was that a kid doesn't have the money to purchase supplies.He started to bike around the neighborhood looking for discarded wood,rope,and other items to create things. In 7th grade,a girl in his class gave him a good piece of advice.She told him that he should take a different route each day to experience something new.Thomas took her idea and learned all about his city of Copenhagen, Denmark. Today,Thomas still uses this idea of taking different routes as he searches for trash left out on roadside. Items such as wire,ropes,wooden pallets,metal,old chair rollers,and plastic containers are just waiting for him to think of a way to use them.If the items are small,he uses "Tingfinder,"his bicycle with a cart attached,to take home his "treasures".He uses a truck for the larger items. "My advice is to think about what you really love to do and let that guide you.Keep moving in the direction you'd like to go."said Thomas. 24.Why does Thomas prefer to use discarded items for his art? A.They are cheaper than new materials. B.They are more useful and attractive. C.He wants to reduce waste. D.He can find them more easily. 25.What advice did a girl in Thomas's class give? A.Save money by using second-hand supplies. B.Explore new paths to discover something fresh. 第3页共8页 C.Focus on different ways to create things. D.Learn about his city before starting any project. 26.Which words can best describe Thomas? A.Adventurous and curious. B.Childish but imaginative. C.Changeable but hard-working. D.Responsible and creative. 27.What may be the best title for the passage? A.Sculpture:a unique hobby B.Trolls:a childhood dream C.Recycling:a creative journey D.Bicycling:an inspiring sport C Bacteria (know how to rough it out all over the earth.Ask most of them where they'd truly prefer to settle though.and a kitchen sponge()would probably top the list.Yes,it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates,which is warm,damp.and full of nutritious food pieces,is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You,a biologist at Duke University,along with his team,used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study.He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth.This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others.Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless,it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well.Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful:in fact,many perform vital jobs.The important question is,therefore,are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017,Jennifer Quinlan,a professor of food safety,and her colleagues,collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes.finding that only 1-2%of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria."The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness,and they're just going to make them smell."says Quinlan."Having said that,there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges." This is not the whole story yet.If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene,the sponge's special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply.And there's evidence that this is the case. 28.What can we learn from the first paragraph? A.Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B.Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C.Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D.Bacteria affect kitchen sponges'performance. 29.What did Lingchong You find in his study? A.How sponges are exactly structured. B.What encourages bacterial growth C.How bacteria react to the environment. D.Why bacteria keep company with each other. 30.What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A.Relatively harmless. B.Poorly adaptive, C.Surprisingly unpleasant. D.Widely distributed. 31.What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A.Proofs of bacterial threat. B.The classification of bacteria C.Methods to control bacterial growth. D.Research into applications of bacteria D At a crop breeding (center in Shanghai,researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China's space station,Tiangong.The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth,maturing after more than 100 days since planting. This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59,which they returned to Earth.Researchers then selected high-quality seeds,growing them under controled climate conditions and producing around 10,000new seeds. 第4页共8页 Zheng Huiqiong,a lead researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences'Center,shared that the team's findings suggest space-bred seeds can reproduce effectively on Earth,suggesting potential for future space agriculture.Zheng highlighted that the space-bred rice possesses unique traits,such asa higher sugar content,with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice.The space-bred rice also showed a slight increase in protein content."That means space-bred rice tastes sweeter and has more energy,"she added. Space breeding,the method used in this experiment,exposes seeds to space radiation and microgravity, generating gene mutations().These mutations are carefully assessed upon the seeds'return to Earth, sometimes resulting in advantageous traits like shorter growth times,improved disease resistance,and higher output.Zhao Hui,an expert in China Academy of Space Technology,emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops,space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes.However,the space-bred rice has fewer leaves,which complicates close planting.Researchers are planning further studies to understand these leaf traits and explore possible genetic changes. The Tiangong rice experiment marked a milestone for crop science,as it was the first time that rice had completed a full life cycle-from seed germination to reproduction-in orbit. 82.What can we know about the space-to-ground experiment? A.Seeds grown in orbit promise higher crop quality. B.Seeds bred in space were further grown successfully on Earth. C.New species of seeds grown in space have achieved great success. D.Climate conditions were controlled when seeds were sent into orbit. 33.What does the underlined words"traits"mean in paragraph 3? A.Materials. B.Arrangements. C.Characteristics. D.Disadvantages. 34.What does Zhao Hui stress about the space-bred rice? A.Its security. B.Its artificial process. C.Its nutrition. D.Its major shortcoming. 35.Which of the following is the best title? A.Organic Farming:High-quality Planting in Space B.Space Exploration:A Journey to the Space and Beyond C.New Planting Approach:Replacing the Traditional Farming D.Space-to-ground Cycle:Promising Future Space Agriculture 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分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。 Being a teenager can be difficult,since you're dealing with hormones,higher expectations,and the process of finding your place in the world.But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the teen years.36 Setting Realistic Expectations Avoid media-based expectations,good or bad.37Although adolescence is a time of great change, this does not necessarily mean it will be the most difficult time of your life.If you are worried that this new life stage will be full of ever-present drama,the truth is that this is just another stage of your life which you will get through as much as you did in childhood long ago. Developing Yourself Develop your sense of self,focusing more on your own thoughts and goals,instead of what other people think.For lots of people,the teenage years are full of worries-stop paying so much attention to them!3 Go ahead and do what you want to do,without considering the opinion of others. Developing Relationships Work to improve your social skills.Some teens have trouble with social interaction,with the reasons behind it varying.Since social interaction is necessary in order to succeed,it's important to learn how to deal with shyness and social anxiety.39It may not replace new social exchanges,but it's a good practice. 第5页共8页 40 That's just a fact of life.However,if you don't enjoy your teens,concentrate on being kind to others and getting through it. A.Others expect too much from us. R.Remember,not everyone enjoys their teens. All of us are able to experience an enjoyable adolescence. Here are some things you can do to enjoy your teenage years. Many worries are based on what other people think,rather than what you think. F.Being a teenager is not necessarily any easier or more difficult than any other life stage. G.Consider working with a friend or a family member of close age to develop your social skills. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 15,I thought I had it all figured out.I was a straight-A student,the captain of the soccer team, and had a close-knit group of friends.But during a match,I suffered a 41 injury-a torn ACL.The doctor said I wouldn't be able to play for at least a year.For someone whose identity was tied to being an 42,this felt like the end of the world.

But the 49 change came when I decided to face my fear of failure head-on.I joined a support group for teens dealing with injuries,and through that,I met others who were 50 similar struggles.51 my story and hearing theirs made me realize I wasn't alone.A year later,I was cleared to play soccer again.But by then,I had grown so much that the game no longer 52me.I played because I loved it,not because I needed it to feel53.

So,when I saw that table,memories of those sleepless nights flooded back.Anger boiled inside me,hot and uncontrollable.I marched over,past the table,and knocked on the student's door.I demanded he remove it, expecting him to apologize."Who are you to tell me what to do?"he shot back.His words only fueled my anger.I yelled things I didn't mean,my voice sharp with profanity ()My husband,sensing trouble,pulled me away before things escalated(升级)further. The rest of the day,I seethed ()But by moring,shame replaced anger.I shuddered as I replayed the confrontation in my mind.Why couldn't I keep my cool?Why did I let something so trivial ignite me?I've always struggled with anger-it runs in my family-but I've worked hard to change.Therapy,meditation, journaling-I've tried them all.Yet.there I was,yelling at a stranger over a Ping-Pong table.I knew I had to make it right. I turned to what I do best:baking.I pulled out a batch of frozen peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie dough I'd made weeks earlier.The dough balls were my secret weapon,ready to transform into warm,comforting cookies at a moment's notice.As the cookies baked,the house filled with their sweet,buttery smell.I let them cool,then arranged them on a plate,my hands trembling. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150词左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked across the street,past the offending table,and knocked on the student's door.
