Growing up, I disliked writing. It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disordered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with lots of corrections. I began to wonder if I was simply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything.
I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through many designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We set a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback (反馈), I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?”
I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays.
24. Which of the following best describes the author’s initial attitude toward writing?
A. A walk in the park. B. A storm in a teacup.
C. A nut hard to break. D. A feather in one’s cap.
25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “penning” in paragraph 3?
A. Collecting. B. Reviewing. C. Composing. D. Polishing.
26. What did the author learn from his writing and research?
A. Both require trial and error. B. Both need inspiration and teamwork.
C. Both are about following fixed rules. D. Both are stressful and time-consuming.
27. What is the author’s attitude toward writing now?
A. Bored. B. Uncaring. C. Ambiguous. D. Enthusiastic.

In the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, millions of monarch butterflies find shelter in the oyamel fir forests after a difficult migration from Canada and the United States down to Mexico for the winter. Now, as rising temperatures, droughts, and disease threaten the forests of the monarch reserve, scientists are hoping to help these trees migrate.
“We’re doing something different,” says Sáenz-Romero, a researcher of the reserve. “If we don’t do this, the trees in the monarch reserve are going to die.” By 2090, the reserve’s forest habitats are expected to deteriorate, as temperatures warm. Using a technique called assisted migration, researchers might be able to move these trees to the nearby volcano.
Forests move naturally; they move in many directions and altitudes as climate changes. Assisted migration helps the forest move more quickly than it would do so naturally. You collect seeds from a place with a specific climate, like the monarch reserve, and move them to an area that will have a similar climate in the future, explains Sáenz-Romero.
The experiment began in 2017, when Sáenz-Romero and his team gathered seeds from oyamel fir trees in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve at various altitudes. For two years, the plants grew in a shade house and then for another year in a nursery at around 9,800 feet to help them adapt to the altitude. Then, in 2021, they planted the young trees under “nurse plants”, which protected them from difficult conditions. In 2023, six years after planting the seeds, they found that at two of those heights, 11,800 and 12,400 feet, nearly 70 percent of the young trees had survived even at the higher altitude.
“These types of experiments are tremendously important,” said Sally Aitken, who wasn’t involved in the study. “However, assisted migration outside of a tree’s normal range comes with concerns. Oyamel firs don’t normally grow at this height on Nevado de Toluca’s slopes. Moving a species could have unintended ecological consequences for other species present in that ecosystem.” Aitken added.
For now, in Mexico, Sáenz-Romero hopes this new study convinces conservationists and government officials that assisted migration can establish new potential wintering sites for the monarch butterflies.
28 What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Get worse. B. Grow larger. C. Maintain. D. Improve.
29. Which of the following best describes the experiment?
A. Costly. B. Successful. C. Controversial. D. Risky.
30. What did Aitken think of assisted migration?
A. It could benefit all species. B. It could change the local weather.
C. It could have ecological risks. D. It could definitely save Monarch Butterflies.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The migration of the oyamel fir forests.
B. A way to save monarch butterflies’ habitats.
C. The threats Monarch butterflies’ survival is facing.
D. The importance of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.

A new study from Nottingham Trent University (NTU) indicates that people who are more facially expressive are generally more likable and socially successful. The research, which analyzed over 1,500 natural conversations, suggests that complex facial muscle movements can strengthen social bonds and improve social interactions.
In the initial phase, researchers engaged with 52 participants in video calls designed to get a range of everyday situations, such as humor, embarrassment and conflict. The participants were further challenged to maintain a still face while their partners attempted to stimulate movement, testing their ability to control facial expressions.
Following these interactions, the participants recorded short videos, where they aimed to achieve specific social goals, like disagreeing with someone but without being disliked. These clips of videos were then rated by over 170 independent observers, assessing the readability of the emotions and expressions displayed.
The researchers applied the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), a method for measuring facial muscle activity, to evaluate each participant’s expressivity (表现能力). Afterwards, the study extended to analyze an existing database of natural video conversations between 1,456 strangers, where the participants rated their conversational partners’ likability. The study revealed that individuals who were more expressive were more likable by both independent observers and their conversation partners. Additionally, these expressive individuals were easier to read and more skillful at using facial behaviors to achieve their social goals.
“This is a study to examine facial expression in real-world interactions,” said the study’s lead author, Eithne Kavanagh. “Our evidence shows that facial expressivity is related to positive social outcomes. It suggests that more expressive people are more successful at attracting social partners and building relationships. It also could be important in conflict resolution.” The research highlights the significant role which facial expressions play in successful social interactions.
32. How did the researchers examine the participants’ ability to control facial expressions?
A. By asking them to make complex facial muscle movements.
B. By asking them to watch humorous videos and keep a still face.
C. By having them use facial behaviors to achieve their social goals.
D. By having their partners try to make them produce facial movements.
33. What were the participants asked to do after the first stage?
A. Rate the videos of other participants. B. Engage in further social interactions.
C. Assess the readability of their own emotions. D. Record short videos under specific conditions.
34. What can we learn about the FACS?
A. It is a tool to assess facial muscle activity. B. It decides the social success of individuals.
C. It improves the likability of facial expressions. D. It is a method for promoting participants’ likability.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. FACS: A New Method for Social Science B. Facial Expressions: Important for Social Success
C. The Development of Facial Muscle Movements D. The Way to Be Likable and Socially Successful

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emma, a fifteen-year-old girl, lived with her grandma on the farm. Every day she would spend some time in the woods nearby. Some birds even came close to her, pecking at bread pieces from her hands and singing away.
One evening, a young man carrying a gun approached their farm house. Putting down the gun, he said, “I’ve lost my way. Could I have a night’s lodging here?” Emma’s warm-hearted grandma agreed.
Then, the man introduced himself as an ornithologist, who collected and studied birds. “Do you put them in a cage?” Emma asked. “No,” he shook his head, “I shoot them and get them preserved. I have over one hundred kinds of bird specimens (标本) in my studio.” Emma felt her heart trembling as she imagined so many birds being shot.
“Emma loves climbing trees, just like a naughty monkey! And she knows a lot about birds, too,” her grandmother said proudly. The man became excited. “I have followed a rare white heron in this direction for two days. Have you seen it, too?” he asked Emma. “The heron has soft white feathers and long slender legs. It probably has its nest at a tree-top,” he added. Emma’s heart gave a wild beat. She had frequently seen the strange bird flying back to its nest on the top of a tall tree near the other side of the woods! The young man then stared at Emma with the hope of the heron being one of Emma’s acquaintances. “I would give one hundred dollars to whoever shows me where the white heron is!” But Emma somehow shook her head. He then sighed, “They have never been seen here. Perhaps it was only migrating, or had been driven out of its own region by some fierce predator.”
That night, long after the moon came out and the young man had fallen asleep, Emma was broad awake. Her mind was alternately visited by the bird specimens and her long-awaited smart phone one hundred dollars could buy.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, Emma made up her mind.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before dawn, Emma returned to the farm house quietly, holding the cage covered with her jacket.

M: That makes sense. The two languages are very similar. In fact, Spanish is similar to Italian and Portuguese, too. That’s why you have such good pronunciation as well.
W: Then why can’t I express myself on paper?
M: Don’t be so hard on yourself, Annie. Right now the important thing is that you can have simple conversations by using the vocabulary we learn in the books.
W: So you are saying I’m not falling behind?
M: Of course not. In fact, you are doing better than most of your classmates. Remember, this is a beginners’ class. If this were an advanced class, I would be concerned.
W: OK, thanks, Mr. Johnson. That makes me feel better.

【答案】17. A 18. B 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】We stand at a great moment in our history. We have for a long time known of the dangers of global warming, but sadly little action has been taken to respond to it. However, we have listened to our children campaigning all across the world, and we have chosen to listen to them, and make hard choices. We have set a date of 2025 for petrol-based cars to stop production. In addition, our governments will bring in a vehicle exchange system. It will allow drivers to trade in their car for an electric model at no additional cost. We see this as an urgent action that needs to be taken. We cannot put profits ahead of the health of our planet. For too long, the industries that pollute the most have dragged their heels. Well no more! In addition, we will also be banning all plastic bottles by 2030. Unless producers can find a way to make plastic break down, we would suggest a return to glass bottles. They can easily be reused and recycled with no harm to the environment. Plastic has invaded our food supply, and we need to remove it urgently before it destroys our planet’s ecosystem.

Growing up, I disliked writing. It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disordered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with lots of corrections. I began to wonder if I was simply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything.
I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through many designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We set a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback (反馈), I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?”
I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays.
24. Which of the following best describes the author’s initial attitude toward writing?
A. A walk in the park. B. A storm in a teacup.
C. A nut hard to break. D. A feather in one’s cap.
25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “penning” in paragraph 3?
A. Collecting. B. Reviewing. C. Composing. D. Polishing.
26. What did the author learn from his writing and research?
A. Both require trial and error. B. Both need inspiration and teamwork.
C. Both are about following fixed rules. D. Both are stressful and time-consuming.
27. What is the author’s attitude toward writing now?
A. Bored. B. Uncaring. C. Ambiguous. D. Enthusiastic.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,讲述作者从讨厌写作到在他人帮助下逐渐爱上写作的经历。作者通过科研与写作的类比,领悟到写作需要反复修改,最终将写作变为研究中喜爱的部分。
【24题详解】
推理判断。根据文章第一段“It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disordered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with lots of corrections(那是我最不愿意做的事情,也是我最初选择追求科学的原因之一。在高中时,我非常讨厌写论文。常常几个小时盯着空白的纸张,试图把我杂乱无章的想法变成流畅的句子,而且我的论文上常常满是批改的痕迹)”可知,作者最初认为写作困难重重,选项C“A nut hard to break(难啃的坚果)”表示的含义符合语境,故选C。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“We set a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback (反馈), I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times(我们为这篇论文设定了一个目标,我仔细地撰写了大纲。但当我请他给予反馈时,很快就发现论文上满是红色的批注。他解释说,红色标记并不意味着我写得不好。写作不是一次性就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多次才行)”可知,此处说的是有关撰写论文的话题,可推理出划线词的含义为“撰写”。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?”(他解释说,红色标记并不意味着我写得不好。写作不是一次性就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多次才行。突然我想到:“我在寻找高效设计方案时,不也是做了同样的事情吗?”)” 可知,作者被告知写作不是一次性就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多次才行,作者从中意识到自己在寻找高效设计方案时,也是做了同样的事情,可推理出作者意识到两者都需要反复尝试和修正,故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays(写作自此之后成为了我研究中最喜欢的部分之一,它帮助我整理思绪。我甚至开始撰写科普文章,这在我早年为论文挣扎时是根本无法想象的)”可知,写作自此之后成为了作者研究中最喜欢的部分之一,可推理出作者现在对写作充满热情。故选D项。
C
In the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, millions of monarch butterflies find shelter in the oyamel fir forests after a difficult migration from Canada and the United States down to Mexico for the winter. Now, as rising temperatures, droughts, and disease threaten the forests of the monarch reserve, scientists are hoping to help these trees migrate.
“We’re doing something different,” says Sáenz-Romero, a researcher of the reserve. “If we don’t do this, the trees in the monarch reserve are going to die.” By 2090, the reserve’s forest habitats are expected to deteriorate, as temperatures warm. Using a technique called assisted migration, researchers might be able to move these trees to the nearby volcano.
Forests move naturally; they move in many directions and altitudes as climate changes. Assisted migration helps the forest move more quickly than it would do so naturally. You collect seeds from a place with a specific climate, like the monarch reserve, and move them to an area that will have a similar climate in the future, explains Sáenz-Romero.
The experiment began in 2017, when Sáenz-Romero and his team gathered seeds from oyamel fir trees in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve at various altitudes. For two years, the plants grew in a shade house and then for another year in a nursery at around 9,800 feet to help them adapt to the altitude. Then, in 2021, they planted the young trees under “nurse plants”, which protected them from difficult conditions. In 2023, six years after planting the seeds, they found that at two of those heights, 11,800 and 12,400 feet, nearly 70 percent of the young trees had survived even at the higher altitude.
“These types of experiments are tremendously important,” said Sally Aitken, who wasn’t involved in the study. “However, assisted migration outside of a tree’s normal range comes with concerns. Oyamel firs don’t normally grow at this height on Nevado de Toluca’s slopes. Moving a species could have unintended ecological consequences for other species present in that ecosystem.” Aitken added.
For now, in Mexico, Sáenz-Romero hopes this new study convinces conservationists and government officials that assisted migration can establish new potential wintering sites for the monarch butterflies.
28. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Get worse. B. Grow larger. C. Maintain. D. Improve.
29. Which of the following best describes the experiment?
A. Costly. B. Successful. C. Controversial. D. Risky.
30. What did Aitken think of assisted migration?
A. It could benefit all species. B. It could change the local weather.
C. It could have ecological risks. D. It could definitely save Monarch Butterflies.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The migration of the oyamel fir forests.
B. A way to save monarch butterflies’ habitats.
C. The threats Monarch butterflies’ survival is facing.
D. The importance of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为了保护黑脉金斑蝶,科学家们希望帮助保护区的森林迁徙,使用一种称为辅助迁移的技术,研究人员可能能够将这些树木移到附近的火山。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If we don’t do this, the trees in the monarch reserve are going to die.(如果我们不这样做,黑脉金斑蝶保护区树木就会死亡)”以及“as temperatures warm(随着气温变暖)”可知,随着气温变暖,树木死亡的情况会变得更糟。故划线词意思是“变得更糟”。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“In 2023, six years after planting the seeds, they found that at two of those heights, 11,800 and 12,400 feet, nearly 70 percent of the young trees had survived even at the higher altitude.(2023年,也就是播种六年后,他们发现,在海拔11800英尺和12400英尺的两个地方,即使在更高的海拔,也有近70%的小树存活了下来)”可知,这个实验是成功的。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Moving a species could have unintended ecological fallout for other species present in that ecosystem. (一个物种的迁移可能会对该生态系统中的其他物种产生意想不到的生态影响)”可知,艾特肯认为辅助迁移可能有生态风险。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, millions of monarch butterflies find shelter in the oyamel fir forests after a difficult migration from Canada and the United States down to Mexico for the winter.

A new study from Nottingham Trent University (NTU) indicates that people who are more facially expressive are generally more likable and socially successful. The research, which analyzed over 1,500 natural conversations, suggests that complex facial muscle movements can strengthen social bonds and improve social interactions.
In the initial phase, researchers engaged with 52 participants in video calls designed to get a range of everyday situations, such as humor, embarrassment and conflict. The participants were further challenged to maintain a still face while their partners attempted to stimulate movement, testing their ability to control facial expressions.
Following these interactions, the participants recorded short videos, where they aimed to achieve specific social goals, like disagreeing with someone but without being disliked. These clips of videos were then rated by over 170 independent observers, assessing the readability of the emotions and expressions displayed.
The researchers applied the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), a method for measuring facial muscle activity, to evaluate each participant’s expressivity (表现能力). Afterwards, the study extended to analyze an existing database of natural video conversations between 1,456 strangers, where the participants rated their conversational partners’ likability. The study revealed that individuals who were more expressive were more likable by both independent observers and their conversation partners. Additionally, these expressive individuals were easier to read and more skillful at using facial behaviors to achieve their social goals.
“This is a study to examine facial expression in real-world interactions,” said the study’s lead author, Eithne Kavanagh. “Our evidence shows that facial expressivity is related to positive social outcomes. It suggests that more expressive people are more successful at attracting social partners and building relationships. It also could be important in conflict resolution.” The research highlights the significant role which facial expressions play in successful social interactions.
32. How did the researchers examine the participants’ ability to control facial expressions?
A. By asking them to make complex facial muscle movements.
B. By asking them to watch humorous videos and keep a still face.
C. By having them use facial behaviors to achieve their social goals.
D. By having their partners try to make them produce facial movements.
33. What were the participants asked to do after the first stage?
A. Rate the videos of other participants. B. Engage in further social interactions.
C. Assess the readability of their own emotions. D. Record short videos under specific conditions.
34. What can we learn about the FACS?
A. It is a tool to assess facial muscle activity. B. It decides the social success of individuals.
C. It improves the likability of facial expressions. D. It is a method for promoting participants’ likability.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. FACS: A New Method for Social Science B. Facial Expressions: Important for Social Success
C. The Development of Facial Muscle Movements D. The Way to Be Likable and Socially Successful
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现复杂的面部肌肉运动可以加强社会联系,改善社会互动。解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。

【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:学习中文帮助他们从一种新的思维方式看待生活,并拓宽他们对外界的视野。“see life from a new way of thinking(从一种新的思维方式看待生活)”和“broaden their minds to the outside world(拓宽他们对外界的视野)”为并列关系,应使用并列连词and连接。故填and。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emma, a fifteen-year-old girl, lived with her grandma on the farm. Every day she would spend some time in the woods nearby. Some birds even came close to her, pecking at bread pieces from her hands and singing away.
One evening, a young man carrying a gun approached their farm house. Putting down the gun, he said, “I’ve lost my way. Could I have a night’s lodging here?” Emma’s warm-hearted grandma agreed.
Then, the man introduced himself as an ornithologist, who collected and studied birds. “Do you put them in a cage?” Emma asked. “No,” he shook his head, “I shoot them and get them preserved. I have over one hundred kinds of bird specimens (标本) in my studio.” Emma felt her heart trembling as she imagined so many birds being shot.
“Emma loves climbing trees, just like a naughty monkey! And she knows a lot about birds, too,” her grandmother said proudly. The man became excited. “I have followed a rare white heron in this direction for two days. Have you seen it, too?” he asked Emma. “The heron has soft white feathers and long slender legs. It probably has its nest at a tree-top,” he added. Emma’s heart gave a wild beat. She had frequently seen the strange bird flying back to its nest on the top of a tall tree near the other side of the woods! The young man then stared at Emma with the hope of the heron being one of Emma’s acquaintances. “I would give one hundred dollars to whoever shows me where the white heron is!” But Emma somehow shook her head. He then sighed, “They have never been seen here. Perhaps it was only migrating, or had been driven out of its own region by some fierce predator.”
That night, long after the moon came out and the young man had fallen asleep, Emma was broad awake. Her mind was alternately visited by the bird specimens and her long-awaited smart phone one hundred dollars could buy.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, Emma made up her mind.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before dawn, Emma returned to the farm house quietly, holding the cage covered with her jacket.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Finally, Emma made up her mind. She tiptoed out of the house, her heart pounding. The moonlit woods seemed mysterious, but she knew the path well. She hurried toward the tall tree where the white heron nested, her mind clear with purpose. When she reached the tree, she climbed carefully, her hands gripping the rough bark. At the top, the heron slept peacefully, its white feathers glowing in the moonlight. Instead of shocking it, Emma whispered softly, “You’re safe with me.” She gently carried it down, and placed it in a small cage she had prepared earlier.
Before dawn, Emma returned to the farm house quietly, holding the cage covered with her jacket. She hid the bird in the barn, making sure it had food and water. After the man left for several days, Emma released the heron deep in the woods, watching as it soared into the sky. Though she could have used the money, her heart felt lighter knowing the bird was free. Her grandma, learning what had happened, hugged her tightly and said, “Some things are more precious than money.”

We cannot put profits ahead of the health of our planet for too long. The industries that pollute the most have dragged their heels. Well, no more. In addition, we will also be banning all plastic bottles by twenty thirty. Unless producers can find a way to make plastic breakdown, we would suggest a return to glass bottles. They can easily be reused and recycled with no harm to the environment. Plastic has invaded our food supply, and we need to remove IT urgently before IT destroys our planet's ecosystem.

We cannot put profits ahead of the health of our planet for too long. The industries that pollute the most have dragged their heels. Well, no more. In addition, we will also be banning all plastic bottles by twenty thirty. Unless producers can find a way to make plastic breakdown, we would suggest a return to glass bottles. They can easily be reused and recycled with no harm to the environment. Plastic has invaded our food supply, and we need to remove IT urgently before IT destroys our planet's ecosystem. 第二节到此结束,现在你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。
