阅读下列短文,从26~40各题所给的A,B,C和D项中选出最佳选项。

What do birds use to build nests ()Your answer may be sticks,leaves or other
natural things.But have you ever heard that coots,a type of waterbird in Netherlands,
also use plastic waste left by humans to build their nests?
Coots love adding plastic bags,snack packages and even milk boxes to their nests.
Many of these plastics have dates printed on them.So here comes an interesting
guessing:If the packaging date on the plastics says 2021,the nest must have been built
after 2021!In this way,we could find out how old the nest is!
2024学年第二学期综合练习(四)(英语)第3页共11页
Among all the discovered coot nests,the coolest one was the Rokin Nest.It is an
old nest with many layers ()Plastics from 2020 were found in the outer layer,while
the deepest layer hid a 1994 World Cup sugar can!Traditionally,birds don't reuse their
nests.But the Rokin Nest may have been passed down by at least three generations()
as these birds only live about 5 to 10 years!
Are plastics good or bad for birds?Long-lasting plastics can keep bird nests strong
without much fixing,which saves birds energy and gives them more time to find food
and raise young birds.However,plastics can also be dangerous.Birds sometimes may
get caught up by plastic ropes,and old plastic may carry germs()that make birds
sick.
Maybe the birds don't want to use plastics to build nests,but there's so much plastic
waste around.Probably they have no choice
26.What is special about the coot nests?
A.The shape.B.The material.
C.The place.
D.The size.
27.How could people know the age of the coot nests?
A.By watching birds build their nests.
B.By counting the amount of rubbish
C.By recording the habits of the coot.
D.By checking the date on the plastic.
28.Which of the following may the writer agree?
A.Humans shouldn't use plastic products in nature.
B.The birds prefer to build nests with plastic waste.
C.Human behavior is connected to the lives of birds.
D.The birds could find no better things to build nests.

up."Crying without food won't help me."
When the jailer's daughter knocked again with some tea and toast,Toad happily ate
the girl's meals and talked to her about his home,Toad Hall,and his friends.The jailer's

When feeling sad,many people eat snacks like ice cream,chips,or candy to feel
better.However,a new study suggests that the foods we eat to feel better may have the
opposite effect.
Researchers at Harvard and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston followed
31.000 women for 14 years to study the effects on mood of ultra-processed (
foods such as sugary snacks,chips,or diet drinks.The women who ate lots of high
ultra-processed foods had higher risks of depression ()
The exact cause is unclear,,but the researchers think artificial sweeteners(舌甜味剂
in these foods might affect brain cell communication,which could cause
depression.
Instead of reaching for unhealthy snacks,try healthier choices like nuts or carrots.
The act of chewing()might help calm you.Better yet,you could find an enjoyable
activity to lift your spirits.You could listen to lively music or watch a funny video.But
the best choice is just to get active.Walking,yoga,or strength training are helpful ways
to fight depression.
It's easier to reach for an ultra-processed snack when you're feeling down,but that
might leave you feeling worse.Choosing physical activity instead can make you feel
much better!
33.What is the main finding of the Harvard study mentioned in the text?
A.Eating snacks helps us feel better.
B.Ultra-processed foods raise depression risks.
C.Women are more likely to eat sugary snacks.
D.Chewing nuts can improve brain function
34.According to the study,what might artificial sweeteners affect?

D.Brain cell communication.

Most of us cannot imagine modern life without social media(社交媒体).We use it
almost every day in order to keep up with what is happening in our friends'lives,or find
out the latest information.Although it has a bad influence if we don't use it properly,
social media has done more good than harm.
The greatest advantage is that we can connect with people much more easily.We
are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away.With social media,
friendship goes beyond geography.We are able to find friends old and new.Also,it
makes it easier for us to make friends,especially for those who are afraid of making
friends face to face.Are you shy?If yes,social media has probably helped.
Social media is also ideal for making yourself heard.Anyone with a voice can
express it.Anyone with a talent is free to show it.Everyone is the new content creator.
Moreover,anyone with a smart phone and the Internet can be a reporter.As a result,it
has become much faster to cover the news than ever before.
Social media,on the other hand,can make us less confident sometimes.A 2021
study published by the Public Library of Science,found that the more a person uses
social media,the sadder he feels about his own life.One reason for this is that people
around us put colourful information and perfect pictures online in order to show off
their best moment.So we often get a distorted sense of how wonderful their lives are
compared to our own.
Social media does not cause sadness;it simply provides another tool for us to use.
Is it good or bad?Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says,"What's interesting
is the power and influence of social media.We must try to use social media in a good
way."After all,you decide how you use this powerful tool.
37.What is the greatest advantage of social media according to the passage?
A.Expressing our voices freely.
B.Showing our talents to others.
C.Recording the best side of our life.
2024学年第二学期综合练习(四)(英语)第7页共11页
D.Connecting with people more easily.
38.What does the word "distorted"probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Clear.
B.Different.
C.Incorrect.
D.Simple.
39.Which picture shows the structure of the passage?(D-Paragraph 1,...)
D
D
①
2
31
B.2③
40.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Social Media:Our Friend Or Enemy?
B.Social Media:To Use Or Not To Use?
C.Social Media:Connecting The World.
D.Social Media:Making Yourself Heard.

against each other.After losing one of our games,no one in our class felt p47.It
was like big,black clouds hanging over the classroom.Some of us even c48.I
asked myself,"How did we let this happen?"
The answer was clear.Our players practised a lot.But during the practice time,we
didn't find out the right way to do better u 49 the two days before.So it meant
that our practice time was wasted.Also we were so nervous to face the challenge from
the other team that we made a lot of mistakes while playing the game.
Life is full of unexpected failures.Sometimes,we are fighting with ourselves.
Because of our work,we will win.And because of our faults,we will lose.We should
face the facts to find out why we have failed but it is u 50 to find an excuse for our
failure.So,just keep going and trying our best,in a right way.
