Baby teeth, divorce certificates, spare keys for locks unknown: the whole thing is filled with association, emotion, nostalgia (怀旧) and pain. That box is my doom (劫数). Because I decide that turning 40, being pregnant and training for a second career aren't enough to be getting on with in a single month, I am also in the lucky position of moving house, which means opening various drawers, boxes, and cupboards, only to discover a pit of painful memory or a terrible mess at every turn. But listen to me: you can get rid of these things. God, I love throwing things away. Not the irresponsible rush of pouring perfectly usable items into landfill, of course. But taking a box of toys to a charity shop when my son is at school? Delicious. Handing out unworn clothes to friends and neighbours? Delightful. Recycling early drafts of my book? Incredible. Frankly, I hope we will all have better things to do than read through our old notebooks, diaries or letters. So, I put them in the recycling. That sweet unburdening release can cheer me up for the rest of the day. I grew up in a house where sentimentality was a disease. When our old gas oven broke, my sister made my parents bury it in the garden with a full, flowery ceremony because she wasn't yet ready to say goodbye. My father cries every time he looks at one of the blankets knitted by his mother — despite the fact that it is on his bed. In this environment, it was inevitable that at least one child was going to go the other way. The cuckoo (布谷鸟) in the nest, I developed a strong and early love of getting rid. When the opportunity arises, do I leap at the chance to throw that stuff out of my house and move on? You bet your box of doom I do. 4. Why does the author say that box is her doom? A. Because it puts her in a lucky position. B. Because it leads to messy feelings. C. Because it gets in the way of her moving. D. Because it makes her house a total mess. 5. How does the author find the act of throwing things away? A. Generous. B. Beneficial. C. Mindless D. Irresponsible. 6. Why does the author mention her family members in paragraph 4? A. To introduce a family tradition. B. To stress how special her family is. C. To identify the reason for her behavior. D. To criticize them for being overly emotional. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To promote a practice. B. To protest a viewpoint. C. To arouse emotions. D. To revive a tradition. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，主要讲述了作者在清理家中旧物时的感悟以及扔掉物品后的愉悦感，倡导了一种积极的生活态度。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Because I decide that turning 40, being pregnant and training for a second career aren't enough to be getting on with in a single month, I am also in the lucky position of moving house, which means opening various drawers, boxes, and cupboards, only to discover a pit of painful memory or a terrible mess at every turn.(因为我觉得在一个月内度过40岁生日、怀孕和第二职业训练是不够的，我还有幸搬家，这意味着打开各种抽屉、盒子和橱柜，却发现每一个角落都有痛苦的记忆或可怕的混乱)”可知，作者说那个盒子是她的劫数是因为它会让作者有痛苦的记忆或可怕的混乱。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But listen to me: you can get rid of these things. God, I love throwing things away. Not the irresponsible rush of pouring perfectly usable items into landfill, of course. But taking a box of toys to a charity shop when my son is at school? Delicious. Handing out unworn clothes to friends and neighbours? Delightful. Recycling early drafts of my book? Incredible. Frankly, I hope we will all have better things to do than read through our old notebooks, diaries or letters. So, I put them in the recycling. That sweet unburdening release can cheer me up for the rest of the day.(但听我说：你可以摆脱这些东西。天啊，我喜欢扔东西。当然，不是不负责任地把完全可用的东西倒进垃圾填埋场。但在我儿子上学的时候带一盒玩具去慈善商店？令人开心的。把没穿过的衣服分给朋友和邻居？令人愉快的。回收我书的初稿？难以置信的。坦率地说，我希望我们都有更好的事情要做，而不是翻阅我们的旧笔记本、日记或信件。所以，我把它们放进了回收站。这种甜蜜的释放可以让我在一天的剩余时间里振作起来)”可知，作者认为把完全不可用的东西扔掉是有益的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I grew up in a house where sentimentality was a disease. When our old gas oven broke, my sister made my parents bury it in the garden with a full, flowery ceremony because she wasn't yet ready to say goodbye. My father cries every time he looks at one of the blankets knitted by his mother — despite the fact that it is on his bed.(在我成长的家庭里，多愁善感是一种疾病。当我们家的旧煤气灶坏了的时候，我姐姐让我父母把它埋在花园里，举行了一个盛大的仪式，因为她还没有准备好说再见。我父亲每次看到他母亲织的毯子都会哭——尽管它就在他的床上)”和第五段第一句“In this environment, it was inevitable that at least one child was going to go the other way.(在这种环境下，不可避免的是，至少有一个孩子会走另一条路)”可知，作者在第四段提到了她的家庭成员是为了说明她喜欢扔东西的原因。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容尤其是第三段“I hope we will all have better things to do than read through our old notebooks, diaries or letters.(我希望我们都有更好的事情要做，而不是翻看我们旧的笔记本、日记或信件)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了倡导一种积极的生活态度，鼓励人们清理旧物，摆脱旧情。故选A。 C Can you learn to be funny? The short answer is yes. The secret, it turns out, might not be so much about learning to be funny, but returning to being funny. “Children are funny. They tell stories, and comedy is storytelling,” says Rachel Berger. “It’s just that as we age, we tend to be driven by a need to impress. We’ve lost the trick of being completely driven by the need to tell stories.” Rachel has been a comedian for over three decades and believes that regaining this instinct（本能）can be incredibly powerful. So how can you do that? Firstly, forget what you’ve been told about whether you’re funny. “People are often told from a very young age that they’re not funny, so they believe it,” says Rachel. “Some people are shy and socially awkward, so they’re told that they’re not funny. Yet some of the best comedians are shy and socially awkward, like Hannah Gadsby and Luke McGregor.” Don’t try to be funny. It’s one of the first things performer Happy Feraren tells her students. “When you try, it’s like you’ve seen someone who’s funny on television, and you want to be like that person, therefore you think you need to act like that person,” says Happy. “And I think that totally throws off you the comedy because it’s not real.” What should you do instead? Happy says a big part of being funny is being comfortable with yourself. “When you’re comfortable with yourself, your listening skills heighten a lot,” says Happy. More than memorizing jokes mechanically, learning to be funny is more about developing a type of intuition（直觉）and changing the way you see the world. For many of us, laughter is the best medicine. Some people believe it’s the only thing that can fix a broken heart. And with all the terrible things happening in the world, humor and laughter can bring daily relief. 8. In Rachel’s opinion, why do grown-ups often have no sense of humor? A. They think storytelling childish. B. They get less creative when they age. C. They don’t think being humorous is powerful. D. They care more about impressing others than telling stories. 9. Why are Hannah Gadsby and Luke McGregor mentioned in Para.3? A. To prove shyness can co-exist with humor. B. To urge people to learn from them. C. To encourage people to be outgoing. D. To show their great success in comedy. 10. Which of the following is effective to develop a sense of humor according to Happy? A. Following the examples of comedians on TV. B. Memorizing as many jokes as you can. C. Feeling at ease about who you are. D. Sticking to the way you view the world. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Learning of the Art of Being Funny B. The Rediscovery of the Joy of Comedy C. The Reason for Some People Not Being Funny D. The Benefits of Being Humorous 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人们可以通过一些方法学会变得幽默，以及幽默对于人们的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 “It’s just that as we age, we tend to be driven by a need to impress. We’ve lost the trick of being completely driven by the need to tell stories. (只是随着年龄的增长，我们往往会被一种想要给人留下深刻印象的需求所驱动。我们已经失去了那种完全被讲故事的需求所驱动的诀窍。)” 可知，成年人往往更在意给别人留下印象，而不是讲故事，所以失去了幽默感。故选 D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 “Some people are shy and socially awkward, so they’re told that they’re not funny. Yet some of the best comedians are shy and socially awkward, like Hannah Gadsby and Luke McGregor. (有些人害羞，在社交上很笨拙，所以他们被告知自己不幽默。然而，一些最优秀的喜剧演员却很害羞，在社交上也很笨拙，比如汉娜・加兹比和卢克・麦格雷戈。)” 可知，提到这两位喜剧演员是为了证明害羞和幽默是可以共存的。故选 A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Happy says a big part of being funny is being comfortable with yourself. (哈皮说，幽默的很大一部分是对自己感到舒适。)” 可知，哈皮认为培养幽默感的有效方法是对自己感到自在。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章首句“Can you learn to be funny? The short answer is yes. (你能学会变得幽默吗？简短的答案是肯定的。)”以及全文内容，如介绍了 Rachel Berger 和 Happy Feraren 关于如何变得幽默的观点和建议等，可知文章主要围绕学习变得幽默这一主题展开。所以短文的标题为“学习如何变得幽默”。故选A。 D Take a walk down any major beach and it likely won’t be long before you come upon some trash. Countless types of plastics litter the world’s beaches, eventually making their way into the ocean where they break down over the course of decades or even centuries. Ocean Conservancy estimates that volunteers from 97 countries and regions identified and removed around 4,000tons of plastic trash from beaches worldwide in 2023. For the most part, spotting the trash still depends on the naked eye and a great deal of walking. But that could one day change thanks to a new satellite imaging technique developed by researchers from RMIT University in Australia. The team developed a new tool that highlights unique spectra (光谱的) features in plastics. Armed with that knowledge, the researchers were then able to accurately identify plastic items on beaches and distinguish them from sand, water, and plants. The researchers, whose work will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin, are hopeful that coastal cleanup organizations can use this new tool to expedite plastic removal efforts on beaches. “This is incredibly exciting as up to now we have not had a tool for detecting plastics in coastal environments from space,” said study co-author Maria Soto-Bereciov. Satellite imagery has, for years, been used to help scientists identify plastics floating in the ocean, but it’s far less effective at spotting plastics on beaches. Coastal plastics often blend (混合) in with or are partially buried by sand. And coastal plastic trash can also have serious negative effects on local wildlife. “Plastics can be mistaken for food, and animals can be trapped by plastics,” study lead author Jenna Guffogg said. Those harmful effects aren’t limited to life on beaches. If plastics aren’t removed, they can often end up going into the ocean where they will slowly break down into smaller pieces. Those tiny plastic pieces are then eaten by fish and work their way up the food chain. Some researchers believe this cycle may even lead to increased cases of microplastics detected in humans. The full extent of the effects of microplastics on human health still isn’t fully known. 12. According to the passage, which is true about the traditional way of spotting plastic trash on beaches? A. It depends mainly on satellite imaging. B. It is highly efficient and accurate. C. It mostly relies on the naked eye and walking. D It can easily distinguish plastic from sand. 13. What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 2 probably mean in the text? A. Slow down B. Make easier and faster C. Stop completely D. Make more difficult 14. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Microplastics have no impact on human health at present. B. Once in the ocean, plastics will never break down. C. The harm of plastics extends far beyond beach areas. D. It is easy to prevent plastics from entering the ocean. 15. What can we infer about the author’s attitude towards microplastics on the beaches? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Positive. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一个团队开发了一种新工具，可以突出塑料中独特的光谱特征，能够准确地识别海滩上的塑料垃圾。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For the most part, spotting the trash still depends on the naked eye and a great deal of walking.(在大多数情况下，发现垃圾仍然依赖于肉眼和大量的步行)”可知，传统的在海滩上发现塑料垃圾的方法主要依靠肉眼和步行。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“For the most part, spotting the trash still depends on the naked eye and a great deal of walking.(在大多数情况下，发现垃圾仍然依赖于肉眼和大量的步行)”和第二段中“Armed with that knowledge, the researchers were then able to accurately identify plastic items on beaches and distinguish them from sand, water, and plants.(有了这些知识，研究人员就能够准确地识别海滩上的塑料物品，并将它们与沙子、水和植物区分开来)”可知，传统的在海滩上发现塑料垃圾的方法主要依靠肉眼和步行，有了新工具，研究人员就能够准确地识别海滩上的塑料物品，并将它们与沙子、水和植物区分开来，这应是会让海滩上的塑料清除工作更加简单快速，expedite意为“使简单快速”，故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Those harmful effects aren’t limited to life on beaches.(这些有害影响并不局限于海滩上的生命)”和“Some researchers believe this cycle may even lead to increased cases of microplastics detected in humans.(一些研究人员认为，这种循环甚至可能导致人体中检测到的微塑料病例增加)”可推知，塑料的危害远远超出了海滩地区，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“And coastal plastic trash can also have serious negative effects on local wildlife.(沿海塑料垃圾也会对当地野生动物产生严重的负面影响)”和最后一段中“Some researchers believe this cycle may even lead to increased cases of microplastics detected in humans.(一些研究人员认为，这种循环甚至可能导致人体中检测到的微塑料病例增加)”可知，作者提到海滩塑料垃圾对野生动物和人类健康的危害，推知作者对海滩微塑料持担忧的态度，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。 Tips for students: Preparing for your exams Exams have always been a pain for many students and even for parents.

One sunny morning, as Heidi was helping her grandfather with the goats, a strange carriage came rumbling up the mountain path. Out stepped a wealthy man from the city. He had heard the tales of the remarkable little little girl and the healing power of the mountain air. He had a sickly daughter named Clara at home who had lost her will to live. The man begged Heidi and her grandfather to let the girl come and stay on the mountain for a while. Heidi’s eyes sparkled with kindness and she immediately agreed. When Clara arrived, she was pale and weak. But Heidi took her by the hand and led her around the mountain meadows. She showed her the colorful wildflowers, the gurgling brooks, and introduced her to the friendly goats. Day by day, under Heidi’s care and the influence of the fresh mountain air, Clara’s cheeks began to gain some color. She started to laugh at the goats’ antics (滑稽可笑的举止) and enjoy the simple beauty of nature. As the days passed, the friendship between the two girls grew stronger. They would sit together under the big pine tree and Heidi would tell her stories of the mountains and the eagles soaring in the sky. The sick girl slowly regained her strength and her spirit. And when it was time for her to go back to the city, she promised Heidi that she would always remember the magic of the mountain and the warmth of their friendship. From then on, more and more people came to know about the special place on the mountain and the little girl who had the ability to heal hearts with her love and the beauty of nature. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Word spread further about Heidi and the mountain’s magic. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, a familiar face stepped out of a carriage. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Word spread further about Heidi and the mountain’s magic. People from all walks of life began to make the journey there. Some came to relax after a long period of work. Others hoped to experience the peaceful mountain life. Heidi and her grandfather welcomed each and every one of them, and the mountain gradually turned into a place for getting well and starting anew. The once -silent area was now full of happy voices and the sounds of people finding new joy in nature. Even the villages around gained a lot from the growing number of tourists. Paragraph 2: One day, a familiar face stepped out of a carriage. Heidi was amazed to see Clara, who had once been pale and weak, now looking healthy and full of life. “You’ve changed so much!” Heidi said, recalling a wave of old memories. Clara smiled warmly and replied, “I owe it all to you and the mountains.” Their time together in the mountains, filled with walks and laughter, had helped Clara heal both in body and spirit. Heidi’s constant care and encouragement had given Clara the strength to keep going. Now Clara, showing how nature and friendship could heal and inspire, was ready to live her life with joy and purpose. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Heidi和爷爷在山上度过了一段美好的时光，一个男人想让他生病的女儿Clara在山上住一段时间，Heidi同意了，通过照料与陪伴，两个女孩的友情愈发深厚，Clara也逐渐恢复了生命力，到了回城的时候。从那时起，越来越多的人开始了解山上这个特殊的地方，以及这个能用她的爱和自然之美治愈心灵的小女孩Heidi。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“关于Heidi和这座山的魔力的消息进一步传开了。”可知，第一段可描写在听到关于Heidi和山的魔力的消息后，人们开始到这里旅行以及这里发生的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天，一个熟悉的面孔从马车里走了出来。”可知，第二段可描写Clara回到山里看望Heidi，两人回忆往事，展示了自然和友谊是如何治愈和鼓舞人心的。 2.续写线索：人们到山里旅行——这座山变得热闹——Clara回到山里——回忆往事——展示了自然和友谊的力量 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①去那里旅行：make the journey there/pay a visit there ②欢迎某人：welcome sb/extend a warm welcome to sb ③回答：reply/answer 情绪类 ①快乐的：happy/delighted ②惊讶：amazed/surprised 【点睛】[高分句型1] Heidi was amazed to see Clara, who had once been pale and weak, now looking healthy and full of life.(运用了who引导的定语从句) [高分句型2] Now Clara, showing how nature and friendship could heal and inspire, was ready to live her life with joy and purpose.(运用了现在分词作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 浙江省金兰教育合作组织2024学年第二学期期中考试 高一年级英语学科试题 考生须知： 1. 本卷共8页满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题部分） 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。 1.

Baby teeth, divorce certificates, spare keys for locks unknown: the whole thing is filled with association, emotion, nostalgia (怀旧) and pain. That box is my doom (劫数). Because I decide that turning 40, being pregnant and training for a second career aren't enough to be getting on with in a single month, I am also in the lucky position of moving house, which means opening various drawers, boxes, and cupboards, only to discover a pit of painful memory or a terrible mess at every turn. But listen to me: you can get rid of these things. God, I love throwing things away. Not the irresponsible rush of pouring perfectly usable items into landfill, of course. But taking a box of toys to a charity shop when my son is at school? Delicious. Handing out unworn clothes to friends and neighbours? Delightful. Recycling early drafts of my book? Incredible. Frankly, I hope we will all have better things to do than read through our old notebooks, diaries or letters. So, I put them in the recycling. That sweet unburdening release can cheer me up for the rest of the day. I grew up in a house where sentimentality was a disease. When our old gas oven broke my sister made my parents bury it in the garden with a full, flowery ceremony because she wasn't yet ready to say goodbye. My father cries every time he looks at one of the blankets knitted by his mother — despite the fact that it is on his bed. In this environment, it was inevitable that at least one child was going to go the other way. The cuckoo (布谷鸟) in the nest, I developed a strong and early love of getting rid. When the opportunity arises, do I leap at the chance to throw that stuff out of my house and move on? You bet your box of doom I do. 4. Why does the author say that box is her doom? A. Because it puts her in a lucky position. B. Because it leads to messy feelings. C. Because it gets in the way of her moving. D. Because it makes her house a total mess. 5. How does the author find the act of throwing things away? A. Generous. B. Beneficial. C. Mindless D. Irresponsible. 6. Why does the author mention her family members in paragraph 4? A. To introduce a family tradition. B. To stress how special her family is. C. To identify the reason for her behavior. D. To criticize them for being overly emotional. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To promote a practice. B. To protest a viewpoint. C. To arouse emotions. D. To revive a tradition. C Can you learn to be funny? The short answer is yes. The secret, it turns out, might not be so much about learning to be funny, but returning to being funny. “Children are funny. They tell stories, and comedy is storytelling,” says Rachel Berger. “It’s just that as we age, we tend to be driven by a need to impress. We’ve lost the trick of being completely driven by the need to tell stories.” Rachel has been a comedian for over three decades and believes that regaining this instinct（本能）can be incredibly powerful. So how can you do that? Firstly, forget what you’ve been told about whether you’re funny. “People are often told from a very young age that they’re not funny, so they believe it,” says Rachel. “Some people are shy and socially awkward, so they’re told that they’re not funny. Yet some of the best comedians are shy and socially awkward, like Hannah Gadsby and Luke McGregor.” Don’t try to be funny. It’s one of the first things performer Happy Feraren tells her students. “When you try, it’s like you’ve seen someone who’s funny on television, and you want to be like that person, therefore you think you need to act like that person,” says Happy. “And I think that totally throws off you the comedy because it’s not real.” What should you do instead? Happy says a big part of being funny is being comfortable with yourself. “When you’re comfortable with yourself, your listening skills heighten a lot,” says Happy. More than memorizing jokes mechanically, learning to be funny is more about developing a type of intuition（直觉）and changing the way you see the world. For many of us, laughter is the best medicine. Some people believe it’s the only thing that can fix a broken heart. And with all the terrible things happening in the world, humor and laughter can bring daily relief. 8. In Rachel’s opinion, why do grown-ups often have no sense of humor? A. They think storytelling childish. B. They get less creative when they age. C. They don’t think being humorous is powerful. D. They care more about impressing others than telling stories. 9. Why are Hannah Gadsby and Luke McGregor mentioned in Para.3? A. To prove shyness can co-exist with humor. B. To urge people to learn from them. C. To encourage people to be outgoing. D. To show their great success in comedy. 10. Which of the following is effective to develop a sense of humor according to Happy? A. Following the examples of comedians on TV. B. Memorizing as many jokes as you can. C. Feeling at ease about who you are. D Sticking to the way you view the world. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Learning of the Art of Being Funny B. The Rediscovery of the Joy of Comedy C. The Reason for Some People Not Being Funny D. The Benefits of Being Humorous D Take a walk down any major beach and it likely won’t be long before you come upon some trash. Countless types of plastics litter the world’s beaches, eventually making their way into the ocean where they break down over the course of decades or even centuries. Ocean Conservancy estimates that volunteers from 97 countries and regions identified and removed around 4,000tons of plastic trash from beaches worldwide in 2023. For the most part, spotting the trash still depends on the naked eye and a great deal of walking. But that could one day change thanks to a new satellite imaging technique developed by researchers from RMIT University in Australia. The team developed a new tool that highlights unique spectra (光谱的) features in plastics. Armed with that knowledge, the researchers were then able to accurately identify plastic items on beaches and distinguish them from sand, water, and plants. The researchers, whose work will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin, are hopeful that coastal cleanup organizations can use this new tool to expedite plastic removal efforts on beaches. “This is incredibly exciting, as up to now we have not had a tool for detecting plastics in coastal environments from space,” said study co-author Maria Soto-Bereciov. Satellite imagery has, for years, been used to help scientists identify plastics floating in the ocean, but it’s far less effective at spotting plastics on beaches. Coastal plastics often blend (混合) in with or are partially buried by sand. And coastal plastic trash can also have serious negative effects on local wildlife. “Plastics can be mistaken for food, and animals can be trapped by plastics,” study lead author Jenna Guffogg said. Those harmful effects aren’t limited to life on beaches. If plastics aren’t removed, they can often end up going into the ocean where they will slowly break down into smaller pieces. Those tiny plastic pieces are then eaten by fish and work their way up the food chain. Some researchers believe this cycle may even lead to increased cases of microplastics detected in humans. The full extent of the effects of microplastics on human health still isn’t fully known. 12. According to the passage, which is true about the traditional way of spotting plastic trash on beaches? A. It depends mainly on satellite imaging. B. It is highly efficient and accurate. C. It mostly relies on the naked eye and walking. D. It can easily distinguish plastic from sand. 13. What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 2 probably mean in the text? A Slow down B. Make easier and faster C. Stop completely D. Make more difficult 14. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Microplastics have no impact on human health at present. B. Once in the ocean, plastics will never break down. C.

One sunny morning, as Heidi was helping her grandfather with the goats, a strange carriage came rumbling up the mountain path. Out stepped a wealthy man from the city. He had heard the tales of the remarkable little little girl and the healing power of the mountain air. He had a sickly daughter named Clara at home who had lost her will to live. The man begged Heidi and her grandfather to let the girl come and stay on the mountain for a while. Heidi’s eyes sparkled with kindness and she immediately agreed. When Clara arrived, she was pale and weak. But Heidi took her by the hand and led her around the mountain meadows. She showed her the colorful wildflowers, the gurgling brooks, and introduced her to the friendly goats. Day by day, under Heidi’s care and the influence of the fresh mountain air, Clara’s cheeks began to gain some color. She started to laugh at the goats’ antics (滑稽可笑的举止) and enjoy the simple beauty of nature. As the days passed, the friendship between the two girls grew stronger. They would sit together under the big pine tree and Heidi would tell her stories of the mountains and the eagles soaring in the sky. The sick girl slowly regained her strength and her spirit. And when it was time for her to go back to the city, she promised Heidi that she would always remember the magic of the mountain and the warmth of their friendship. From then on, more and more people came to know about the special place on the mountain and the little girl who had the ability to heal hearts with her love and the beauty of nature. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Word spread further about Heidi and the mountain’s magic. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, a familiar face stepped out of a carriage. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
