SZLX backpack This backpack is described as “designed for travel” and you can see why—as unzipped and open, it looks a bit like a carry-on bag. It has two zip pockets and an inside compartment (隔层). With a shoe compartment and a bag for wet clothes, it is a great choice for traveling and regular use. Della Gao backpack This backpack will have you feeling safe, with lockable zips (拉链). It has three main compartments and at 17 inches, has a large overall space for keeping important items. It’s a wise choice for business travel, university or if you’re going on holiday with high-value items. Lekesky backpack Looking like a cross between a lunch bag and a backpack, the Lekesky bag is actually a bit of both, with two pockets alongside a main compartment. The bag also has a separate lunch compartment, able to store food for nine hours with an ice bag. The bag comes in black/white as well as green/white. Maxtop backpack If what you’re after in a backpack is a lot of space, then this bag will be the one for you. It comes with metal zippers and a USB port, plus it can be folded up when not in use. It also has a D-ring for you to hang a key or other items if desired. 1. Which backpack best suits a person carrying expensive items? A. Della Gao backpack B. Lekesky backpack C. SZLX backpack D. Maxtop backpack 2. What is true about Lekesky backpack? A. It comes in four different colors. B. It is great for keeping food. C It can be folded up when not in use. D. It has a bag for wet clothes. 3. In which section of a newspaper does the text probably appear? A. Sports. B. Health. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3.

It has three main compartments and at 17 inches, has a large overall space for keeping important items. It’s a wise choice for business travel, university or if you’re going on holiday with high-value items.(这个背包有可锁的拉链，会让你有安全感。它有三个主隔间，有17英寸的空间，整体空间很大，可以存放重要物品。对于商务旅行、上大学或带着贵重物品去度假来说，这是一个明智的选择)”可知，Della Gao backpack最适合携带贵重物品。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lekesky backpack下的“Looking like a cross between a lunch bag and a backpack, the Lekesky bag is actually a bit of both, with two pockets alongside a main compartment. The bag also has a separate lunch compartment, able to store food for nine hours with an ice bag. The bag comes in black/white as well as green/white.(Lekesky包看起来像是午餐袋和背包的混合体，实际上两者兼而有之，在主隔层旁边有两个口袋。这个袋子还有一个单独的午餐隔间，可以用冰袋储存9个小时的食物。这个包有黑色/白色和绿色/白色两种颜色)”可知，Lekesky backpack很适合保存食物。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From going to work to traveling, here are some backpacks you can use in several different situations.(从上班到旅行，这里有一些你可以在不同场合使用的背包)”可知，本文主要介绍一些可以在不同场合使用的背包，而背包和生活有关。由此推知，本文有可能出现在报纸的生活方式板块。故选C项。 B Ben was eleven years old when he spotted his neighbour, Julie, working in her garden. He popped his head over the fence, and said to her, “I’ve seen you’re very good with a lawn mower (割草机) and gardening tools. The hedge (树篱) over the pathway near here has become so overgrown that I am planning to cut it back myself. Would you like to help out?” Julie loved the idea of helping Ben and their community. They agreed to cut the hedge the following Sunday. Ben’s brother Josh, aged 8 at the time, also came along to help. All three of them tackled away at it until they reduced it. They posted photos of their handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, their local Facebook Group. The community reaction was amazing. The comments and reactions just kept on coming. The whole town of Malmesbury seemed to embrace their team spirit and felt inspired to follow their lead. Manypeople raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep their town tidy. With many willing hands, their town has transformed. Before, the town looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier. To keep the projects going, Ben created a Facebook page and website to support their projects. Their Facebook Page “Helping The Community Of Malmesbury” currently sits at 669 members and is a place for all the locals to share what litter picking and cleaning up they have been up to. Ben also managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. The funding has helped them obtain trees, plants, tools, and gardening equipment. When community members plan a clean-up, they can contact them via the website to access any tools and equipment they need to complete a project. Ben is so pleased that 6 years later, the clean up campaign is still in full-swing. He has just been so overwhelmed with the support over the years that he cannot thank the community enough. Their mission will not stop. 4. What did Ben invite Julie to do? A. Mow the lawn. B. Cut the hedge. C. Repair the fence. D. Help the neighbor. 5. What did the community do after seeing their post? A. They cleaned their town. B. They shared more photos. C. They embraced each other. D. They stood by doing nothing. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Ways to raise funds. B. Efforts to run the projects. C. Scenes of doing cleaning. D. Feelings of managing the projects. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. No pains, no gains. B. You reap what you sow. C. More haste, less speed. D. Many hands make light work. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ben和他的邻居Julie以及弟弟Josh一起修剪树篱，并通过社交媒体激发了整个社区的清洁行动，最终使他们的城镇变得更加整洁的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The hedge over the pathway near here has become so overgrown that I am planning to cut it back myself. Would you like to help out?(这里的树篱长得太茂密了，我打算自己修剪它。你愿意帮忙吗？)”可知。Ben邀请Julie帮忙修剪树篱。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The whole town of Malmesbury seemed to embrace their team spirit and felt inspired to follow their lead. Many people raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep their town tidy.(整个Malmesbury镇似乎都被他们的团队精神感染，并受到鼓舞，纷纷效仿他们。许多人举手志愿做更多的事情来保持城镇的整洁)”可知，社区在看到他们的帖子后，开始清洁城镇。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“To keep the projects going, Ben created a Facebook page and website to support their projects. Their Facebook Page “Helping The Community Of Malmesbury” currently sits at 669 members and is a place for all the locals to share what litter picking and cleaning up they have been up to. Ben also managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. The funding has helped them obtain trees, plants, tools, and gardening equipment.(为了让这些项目继续下去，本创建了一个Facebook页面和网站来支持他们的项目。他们的脸书主页“帮助马姆斯伯里社区”目前有669名成员，是所有当地人分享他们拾取和清理垃圾的地方。本还设法通过当地企业和协会筹集资金。这笔资金帮助他们获得了树木、植物、工具和园艺设备)”可知，本段主要讲述了Ben为维持项目所做的努力。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“With many willing hands, their town has transformed. Before, the town looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier.(在在许多人的努力下，他们的小镇发生了变化。以前，这个小镇看起来有点破败，但现在，这个地方看起来更干净整洁了)”以及全文内容可知，主要讲述了Ben和他的邻居Julie以及弟弟Josh一起修剪树篱，并通过社交媒体激发了整个社区的清洁行动，最终使他们的城镇变得更加整洁的故事。所以能从短文中学到的是“众人拾柴火焰高”。故选D。 C Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture (碳捕捉) proposal. It can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life ofTrees was an encouraging bestseller of 2015. Wohlleben’s idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop toying with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we don’t, our Rome will burn. The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our rescuer. But it’s terribly hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our own rescue. Of course, there are things we could and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what’s considered as part of the solution is part of the problem. Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect — it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forests cool by transpiring (蒸发). If there’s no water, there’s no cooling. Drought can kill trees fast, but trees have many ways of dealing with it, and Wohlleben sets them out. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior — and that’s how trees survive, too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They change the rate at which they feed themselves with sugar solution through root networks. Forests can take in greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you’ re letting off carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Broadleaf trees are not “harvest-ready” at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must interrogate comforting expressions such as “renewable energy”, and learn the real cost of our toilet paper. If we don’t learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway — but without us Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing. 8. What’s suggested in the book? A. Using renewable energy. B. Leaving trees alone. C. Dealing with climate change. D. Changing forestry species. 9. What might happen if we keep toying with trees? A. We will be our own rescuer. B. We will be alone without trees. C. Our world will be destroyed. D. The capital city of Italy will burn. 10. How do trees survive drought? A. They stop absorbing water. B. They lose all their leaves. C. They get help from humans. D. They slow down their growth. 11. What does the underlined word “interrogate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Try. B. Explain. C. Question. D. Appreciate. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕《树木的隐藏生活》这本书展开，介绍书中关于树木的观点，强调人类应让树木自然生长，过度干预可能带来危害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wohlleben’s idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop toying with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we don’t, our Rome will burn.(沃尔勒本的观点是这样的：对于树木，我们无需采取任何行动。不要去干预它们，不要妄想我们能比大自然更好地应对气候变化。如果我们不这样做，我们的罗马将会被焚毁)”可知，书中建议让树木自然生长，不要去干预它们，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If we don’t, our Rome will burn.(如果我们不这样做, 我们的罗马会被焚毁)”以及最后一段“If we don’t learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway — but without us Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.(如果我们不学会对树木采取“什么都不做”的态度，那么树木最终还是会孤立无援——但沃勒莱本却以精彩且通俗易懂的方式向我们展示了，不去做任何事情是多么紧迫，又是多么艰难)”可知，如果我们一直摆弄树木，不尊重自然规律，最终世界会遭到破坏，人类也将面临灾难。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They change the rate at which they feed themselves with sugar solution through root networks.(树木会从过去的伤害中吸取教训，并培育出具有这些教训的“后代”。它们还会通过根系网络调整自身摄取糖液的速度)”可推断，在干旱时，树木通过改变自身的生长方式，比如减缓吸收营养的速度，也就是减缓生长来应对，故选D。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Cut them down and burn them and you’ re letting off carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Broadleaf trees are not “harvest-ready” at 200 years: they are teenagers.(将它们砍倒并焚烧掉，这样不仅会释放出木材中的二氧化碳，还会释放出森林地面的二氧化碳。阔叶树在 200 年后才具备“可采伐”状态：它们还只是“青少年”阶段)”以及“renewable energy (可再生能源)”可知，这种说法并不像表面看起来那么简单，我们需要重新审视、质疑它的真正含义。C 选项“Question (质疑)”符合文意。故选C。 D The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, conventional printing processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually-often used just once before being thrown away. The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper. Subsequently, a high-intensity laser (激光) is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽化) ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers. One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal, it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production. From an economic perspective (角度), the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial. However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to recycled alternatives, even when they are of comparable quality. In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world. 12. What is the de-inking printer aimed at? A. Recycling the used ink. B. Producing recyclable paper. C. Improving the printing speed. D. Reducing the waste of resources. 13. How does the de-inking printer remove ink from paper? A. By adding chemicals into the ink. B. By combining sensors and lasers. C. By converting paper into new materials. D. By using laser to burn letters on the paper. 14. What blocks the broad application of de-inking printer? A. It can only be used with special ink. B. It is too large to be used in most offices. C. People are unwilling to use recycled paper. D. Users find it complex to understand. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards de-inking printer? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Negative. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了去墨打印机的相关信息，包括其工作原理、优势、经济角度的考虑以及面临的挑战等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.(去墨打印机的出现代表了印刷技术和纸张回收利用方面的一项进步，它解决了我们这个时代最为紧迫的环境挑战之一)”可知，去墨打印机的目标是减少资源浪费。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper. Subsequently, a high-intensity laser is precisely directed to target and vaporize ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers.(它首先使用先进的传感器系统识别纸张表面的墨水。随后，精确地将高强度激光对准目标，有效地汽化墨水，将其去除，而不会损坏纸张纤维)”可知，去墨打印机通过结合传感器和激光来从纸上去除墨水。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to recycled alternatives, even when they are of comparable quality.(此外，在用户接受度方面存在重大障碍：许多个人和组织仍然习惯于使用新纸，即使回收纸的质量相当，他们也可能不愿意使用回收替代品)”可知，人们不愿意使用回收纸阻碍了去墨打印机的广泛应用。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world.(总之，去墨打印机是实现印刷行业更可持续未来的一线希望。随着技术的不断进步和环保意识的增强，这项技术有潜力改变整个行业，为构建一个更加环保和资源高效的世界做出贡献)”可知，作者对去墨打印机的态度是乐观的。故选A。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。 Getting older means greater maturity and wisdom. ___16___ In a society that is aging fast, it has become crucial to find ways to prevent related mental and emotional disorders.

Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird. Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member. In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful! But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.” 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。 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. After a fully recovery, Lucky wanted to spread its wings and fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly. Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it. Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, Albert opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, flying around Albert and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him. This had happened from time to time since then. Instead of losing a forced friend, Albert had made a permanent one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了一个小男孩偶遇受伤的小鸟并把它带回家悉心照顾，在小鸟痊愈之后，小男孩不想失去他的这位好朋友，便把小鸟关在了笼子里，失去了自由的小鸟变越来越伤心，最终在父母的开导下，小男孩给予了小鸟自由。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，他买了一个小笼子，把Lucky关在里面。”可知，第一段可描小鸟在笼子里的状况和小男孩的不知所措。 ②由第二段首句内容“知道了这个糟糕的情况，男孩的父母决定帮助Lucky和他们的儿子”可知，第二段可描写在父母的开导下，男孩给予小鸟自由，小鸟时常飞回来，他们成了永久的朋友。 2.续写线索：做出决定——把小鸟关进笼子——小鸟伤心——小男孩不知所措——父母决定帮忙——给予小鸟自由——小鸟回来，小男孩高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展翅：spread its wings / stretch its wings / extend its wings ②.拒绝：refuse / reject ③返回：return / go back / get back 情绪类 ①.伤心地：sadly / sorrowfully ②.感谢：thanks / appreciation / gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1].

SZLX backpack This backpack is described as “designed for travel” and you can see why—as unzipped and open, it looks a bit like a carry-on bag. It has two zip pockets and an inside compartment (隔层). With a shoe compartment and a bag for wet clothes, it is a great choice for traveling and regular use. Della Gao backpack This backpack will have you feeling safe, with lockable zips (拉链). It has three main compartments and at 17 inches, has a large overall space for keeping important items. It’s a wise choice for business travel, university or if you’re going on holiday with high-value items. Lekesky backpack Looking like a cross between a lunch bag and a backpack, the Lekesky bag is actually a bit of both, with two pockets alongside a main compartment. The bag also has a separate lunch compartment, able to store food for nine hours with an ice bag. The bag comes in black/white as well as green/white. Maxtop backpack If what you’re after in a backpack is a lot of space, then this bag will be the one for you. It comes with metal zippers and a USB port, plus it can be folded up when not in use.

B Ben was eleven years old when he spotted his neighbour, Julie, working in her garden. He popped his head over the fence, and said to her, “I’ve seen you’re very good with a lawn mower (割草机) and gardening tools. The hedge (树篱) over the pathway near here has become so overgrown that I am planning to cut it back myself. Would you like to help out?” Julie loved the idea of helping Ben and their community. They agreed to cut the hedge the following Sunday. Ben’s brother Josh, aged 8 at the time, also came along to help. All three of them tackled away at it until they reduced it. They posted photos of their handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, their local Facebook Group. The community reaction was amazing. The comments and reactions just kept on coming. The whole town of Malmesbury seemed to embrace their team spirit and felt inspired to follow their lead. Manypeople raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep their town tidy. With many willing hands, their town has transformed. Before, the town looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier. To keep the projects going, Ben created a Facebook page and website to support their projects. Their Facebook Page “Helping The Community Of Malmesbury” currently sits at 669 members and is a place for all the locals to share what litter picking and cleaning up they have been up to. Ben also managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. The funding has helped them obtain trees, plants, tools, and gardening equipment. When community members plan a clean-up, they can contact them via the website to access any tools and equipment they need to complete a project. Ben is so pleased that 6 years later, the clean up campaign is still in full-swing. He has just been so overwhelmed with the support over the years that he cannot thank the community enough. Their mission will not stop. 4. What did Ben invite Julie to do? A. Mow the lawn. B. Cut the hedge. C. Repair the fence. D. Help the neighbor. 5. What did the community do after seeing their post? A. They cleaned their town. B. They shared more photos. C. They embraced each other. D. They stood by doing nothing. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Ways to raise funds. B. Efforts to run the projects. C. Scenes of doing cleaning. D. Feelings of managing the projects. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. No pains no gains. B. You reap what you sow. C. More haste, less speed. D. Many hands make light work. C Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture (碳捕捉) proposal. It can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life ofTrees was an encouraging bestseller of 2015. Wohlleben’s idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop toying with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we don’t, our Rome will burn. The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our rescuer. But it’s terribly hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our own rescue. Of course, there are things we could and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what’s considered as part of the solution is part of the problem. Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect — it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forests cool by transpiring (蒸发). If there’s no water, there’s no cooling. Drought can kill trees fast, but trees have many ways of dealing with it, and Wohlleben sets them out. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior — and that’s how trees survive, too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They change the rate at which they feed themselves with sugar solution through root networks. Forests can take in greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you’ re letting off carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Broadleaf trees are not “harvest-ready” at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must interrogate comforting expressions such as “renewable energy”, and learn the real cost of our toilet paper. If we don’t learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway — but without us Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing. 8. What’s suggested in the book? A. Using renewable energy. B. Leaving trees alone. C. Dealing with climate change. D. Changing forestry species. 9. What might happen if we keep toying with trees? A. We will be our own rescuer. B. We will be alone without trees. C. Our world will be destroyed. D. The capital city of Italy will burn. 10. How do trees survive drought? A. They stop absorbing water. B. They lose all their leaves. C. They get help from humans. D. They slow down their growth. 11. What does the underlined word “interrogate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Try. B. Explain. C. Question. D. Appreciate. D The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, conventional printing processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually-often used just once before being thrown away. The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper. Subsequently, a high-intensity laser (激光) is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽化) ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers. One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal, it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production. From an economic perspective (角度), the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial. However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to recycled alternatives, even when they are of comparable quality. In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world. 12. What is the de-inking printer aimed at? A. Recycling the used ink. B. Producing recyclable paper. C. Improving the printing speed. D. Reducing the waste of resources. 13. How does the de-inking printer remove ink from paper? A. By adding chemicals into the ink. B. By combining sensors and lasers. C. By converting paper into new materials. D.

Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird. Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member. In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful! But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.” 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。 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
