If it gets thrown away, it often makes its way into the ocean, where it can take hundreds of years to biodegrade (生物降解). To help solve this problem, scientists have developed a type of plastic that will break down in seawater. Biodegradable plastics are ones that break down naturally. However, existing biodegradable plastics don’t break down 3 in the sea. They break up into 4 pieces called microplastics (微塑料) instead, which are often eaten by fish, birds, and animals. A．heated    B．common    C．predicted    D．end up    E. noticed Scientists have 5 that by the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Microplastics also 6 in our soil, water, and food supplies, eventually making their way into our bodies. The new plastic could be part of the solution. Unlike other biodegradable plastics, the new plastic fully dissolves (溶解) in salty seawater. Tests have shown that the plastic can break down within a few hours in seawater and in about 10 days in soil. When the material is 7 to a temperature of 248°F, it can be shaped into a variety of forms. The plastic could be used in 3D printing and to create 8 products, such as medical equipment or single-use packaging. （2025·上海长宁·二模）Choose the proper words or phrases in the box to complete the following passage.

China’s began in July 2021 and is now the world’s largest, 5 over 40 percent of the country’s emissions each year, according to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. However, creating a global carbon market is difficult. Countries have different ideas about who should cut emissions more. Some argue that rich countries have emitted the most in the past and should work the hardest now. They may also need to help poorer countries “go green” and 6 extreme weather events. Another problem is “free riders”. This means that some countries may not want to make 7 and cut down on their emissions, they will just sit back and rely on others to do it 8 . This way, they will enjoy cleaner air and a healthier environment “for free”. （2025·上海浦东新·二模） A．together     B．especially     C． retired     D．actually     E. various Morning tea, known as Zaocha in Chinese, is a tradition in southern China.

According to key theories, time and space are deeply connected. When objects move at extremely high speeds—close to the speed of light-time slows down for them. For example, astronauts on the Space Station actually age slightly slower than people on Earth! To travel far into the future, you would need to move at this incredible speed. While centuries pass on Earth, you might 3 only a few years. But going back in time is much harder. Scientists think one way could be using wormholes (虫洞)—imaginary tunnels that connect different places and times in space.

Even if we solve all the problems, strange things might happen. For example, would you accidentally 5 your own birth by changing the past? Such puzzles make time travel an exciting but 6 idea. For now, humans explore time indirectly. Telescopes act as “time machines” by catching light from stars millions of years old. GPS satellites must change their clocks slightly because time ticks slower in orbit—a tiny but real effect of relativity! While we can’t build a time machine yet, these discoveries show us that the 7 is full of wonders. Who knows? With technology, time travel might one day shift from science fiction to science fact. Until then, it remains a fascinating topic that mixes 8 , physics, and endless curiosity. （2025·上海普陀·二模） A．manage    B．face    C． cross    D．quietly    E. calm The Yukon Quest is a 1,000-mile dog sled (雪橇) race held every February in Canada.

A．fixed  B．Similarly  C． Instead  D．reality  E. experience Have you ever imagined stepping into a time machine to visit the past or future? Just picture walking among dinosaurs, meeting your great-great-grandchildren, or seeing future cities. While time travel remains a popular theme in stories, scientists have spent years studying whether it could ever become 1 . Modern science suggests that time is not as 2 as it seems. According to key theories, time and space are deeply connected. When objects move at extremely high speeds—close to the speed of light-time slows down for them. For example, astronauts on the Space Station actually age slightly slower than people on Earth! To travel far into the future, you would need to move at this incredible speed. While centuries pass on Earth, you might 3 only a few years. But going back in time is much harder. Scientists think one way could be using wormholes (虫洞)—imaginary tunnels that connect different places and times in space. Imagine folding a piece of paper to make a shortcut! 4 , a wormhole could connect distant moments in time. But scientists have never observed a real wormhole.

Even if we solve all the problems, strange things might happen. For example, would you accidentally 5 your own birth by changing the past? Such puzzles make time travel an exciting but 6 idea. For now, humans explore time indirectly. Telescopes act as “time machines” by catching light from stars millions of years old. GPS satellites must change their clocks slightly because time ticks slower in orbit—a tiny but real effect of relativity! While we can’t build a time machine yet, these discoveries show us that the 7 is full of wonders. Who knows? With technology, time travel might one day shift from science fiction to science fact. Until then, it remains a fascinating topic that mixes 8 , physics, and endless curiosity. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．E 4．B 5．D 6．E 7．B 8．A 【导语】本文主要探讨了时间旅行是否可能成为现实，并解释了相关的科学理论和挑战。 1．句意：虽然时间旅行仍然是故事中的一个流行主题，但科学家们已经花了数年时间研究它是否会成为现实。根据“While time travel remains a popular theme in stories, scientists have spent years studying whether it could ever become...”可知，科学家已经花了数年时间研究时间旅行是否会成为现实，名词reality“现实”符合语境。故选D。 2．句意：现代科学表明时间并不像看起来那样固定。根据“as+形容词原级或副词原级+as”结构和所给词汇可知，形容词fixed“固定的”符合语境。故选A。 3．句意：地球上过去几个世纪，你可能只经历了几年。情态动词might后接动词原形，结合所给词汇可知，动词experience“经历”符合语境。故选E。 4．句意：类似地，虫洞可以连接时间上相距遥远的时刻。根据“Imagine folding a piece of paper to make a shortcut!...a wormhole could connect distant moments in time.”可知，虫洞的情况和折纸做一条捷径这种情况类似，因此副词Similarly“类似地”符合语境。故选B。 5．句意：例如，你会因为改变过去而意外阻止自己的出生吗？ 分析“would you accidentally...your own birth by changing the past?”可知，空处缺少动词，结合所给词汇可知，动词prevent“阻止”符合语境。故选D。 6．句意：这些谜题使时间旅行成为一个令人兴奋但危险的想法。根据“an exciting but...idea”可知，空处缺少形容词修饰名词idea，结合所给词汇可知，形容词dangerous“危险的”符合语境。故选E。 7．句意：虽然我们还不能建造时间机器，但这些发现向我们展示了宇宙充满了奇迹。分析“the...is full of wonders”和所给词汇可知，此处表示“宇宙充满了奇迹”，名词universe“宇宙”符合语境。故选B。 8．句意：在那之前，它仍然是一个混合了想象、物理学和无尽好奇心的迷人话题。分析“it remains a fascinating topic that mixes...physics, and endless curiosity”可知，空处缺少名词，结合所给词汇可知，名词imagination“想象”符合语境。故选A。 （2025·上海普陀·二模） A．manage    B．face    C． cross    D．quietly    E. calm The Yukon Quest is a 1,000-mile dog sled (雪橇) race held every February in Canada.
