Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they inspected my solar-powered water heater model. Some were students like me, while others were teachers and even parents. One little boy, with a big pair of glasses, asked me how the solar panels converted sunlight into heat energy. I explained it to him patiently, using simple terms so he could understand. Another teacher praised my practical approach to using renewable energy. As I answered their questions one by one, I felt a growing sense of pride. The interaction with them not only deepened my understanding of the project but also made me realize the significance of spreading the knowledge of solar power. At the end of the day, I felt a sense of achievement beyond any prize. Whether I would win or not didn’t seem to matter much anymore. The process of researching, building, and sharing my project had been a rewarding journey. I had learned so much about solar energy, and more importantly, I had the opportunity to inspire others with my work. The conversations I had with the visitors made me believe that I could contribute to the popularization of renewable energy in some small way. This experience had not only enhanced my scientific skills but also given me the confidence to explore more scientific fields in the future. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ Unit 2 Looking into the Future单元测试·基础卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Inventions born out of love Garbage Disposers (处理器) John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, put under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain (排水管)and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains. Surgical Gloves William Stewart Halsted, M. D．(1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict insistence to sterile(无菌的) working conditions, Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs(细菌)during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage. Band-Aids When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson &Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary adhesive (有黏性的) bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today. Magnetic (有磁性的)Shirt Buttons Maura Horton’s husband, Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently. 1．What’s the function of the InSinkErator? A．It can clear sink pipes. B．It can recycle kitchen waste. C．It can remove food waste easily. D．It can extend the service life of sinks. 2．For whom did William invent surgical gloves? A．A nurse. B．The patient. C．The surgeons D．His colleagues. 3．Which is the latest invention? A．The InSinkErator B．Band-Aids C．Surgical Gloves. D．Magnetic Shirt Buttons. B Can you imagine having flexible computer screens and mobile phones which change shape to tell you when you have a new message? It sounds like a crazy idea, but in fact it’s already been realized！ In the future, the mobile phone will be your flexible friend. It will be able to change shape to tell you when you receive a message. A model called MorePhone has been created by scientists. It’s based on flexible plastic technology developed in Cambridge in the UK by an organization called Plastic Logic. Rachel Lichten, who works at Plastic Logic, describes how the scientists there have developed a process for manufacturing flexible plastic displays (显示器) which are as thin as paper. The flexible screens can be any size, and are easy to read in direct sunlight. They can be black and white or colored and are very thin and light — Lichten says you can even jump on them. They use a little power, so there is no need for large batteries, and this makes them easy to carry around. Lichten says this technology could be used for heart monitoring, smart watches and the second screens for mobile phones — because the image does not disappear, your phone can keep your boarding card details for a flight for example even when your phone’s battery is dying. Plastic Logic have spent 13 years developing this new technology. Their challenge now is to help customers to think of new ways to use it. Lichten says it is always the same with new technology. “Bringing new technology to the market is a challenge. However, you have to know what the next generation of products will be,” she says. Working with mobile phones or laptops that can roll up like a piece of paper could turn hardware into“flexi-ware”． 4．What will happen to your mobile phone in the future according to the text？ A．It can change its own shape. B．It will have no battery. C．It can talk to us like a friend. D．It will be made of paper. 5．What do we know about flexible plastic technology？ A．It is just a crazy idea. B．It was developed easily. C．It was developed by Rachel Lichten. D．It can be used in more than one field. 6．Which of the following makes the flexible screens easy to carry around？ A．No need for large batteries. B．No need for hardware. C．No need for sunlight. D．No need for power. 7．What is Lichten’s attitude to flexible plastic technology？ A．Worried. B．Positive. C．Grateful. D．Uncertain. C Plastic is everywhere, but it’s not great for our health or the planet. In the past, a common box from Amazon, an online shopping platform, arrived packed with plastic air pillows (塑料充气枕) made from flexible plastic film. When the plastic film is thrown away, it often ends up in the environment, including the oceans, where it can injure and kill marine life. In studies of 80 marine species that died after swallowing a variety of plastic rubbish, flexible plastic proved to be the deadliest. Now Amazon announced that by October 2024, it had removed all plastic air pillows from its delivery packaging. “We want to make sure the final package is easy to recycle at home,” says Pat Lindner, Amazon’s vice president of sustainable packaging. To make the change, the company had to make sure that a replacement would work as well as the plastic version. Amazon worked with supplies to find a lightweight, 100% recycled paper that’s easier to wrap around an object to protect it. It turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. The paper also takes up less space, so now more items fit in a smaller box. That translates to using less gas or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans to make a delivery. Plastic is cheap, but the new system saves the company money since there’s less risk that something will break during shipping and need replacement, Lindner says. “And so the fact that we can deliver packages more safely and with less damage is a cost saving to us.” It’s a welcome change following years of pressure from environmental groups to stop plastic pollution flooding into oceans. “The fact that the world’s largest e-commerce company has made plastic air pillows a thing of history is fantastic news for the world’s oceans,” the nonprofit Oceana said in a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement. 8．What is probably the biggest advantage of Amazon’s new delivery packaging? A．Its recyclability. B．Its safety. C．Its price. D．Its flexibility. 9．What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A．Plastic outperforms paper for packaging. B．Paper is more expensive than plastic for packaging. C．Amazon’s paper packaging is a win-win approach. D．Amazon was the first company to use recycled paper. 10．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Plastic air pillows will never be used again globally. B．Amazon was forced to make the change by environment groups. C．Large companies can significantly impact environmental progress. D．Paper packaging will completely solve the problem of ocean pollution. 11．Which would be a suitable title for the text? A．Plastic Air Pillows: A Thing of the Past. B．Plastic Packaging: Threat to Marine Life. C．Amazon’s Paper Packaging: A Great Discovery. D．Amazon’s Eco-friendly Change: Saving Costs and Oceans. D In an inspiring leap toward sustainable innovation, three high school students — Dhruv Chaudhary, Mithran Ladhania, and Mridul Jain — have invented a revolutionary salt-powered refrigerator called the Thermavault. The device requires no electricity and has the potential to transform life in communities without reliable access to power. Their invention just earned them the authorative 2025 Earth Prize and a $12,500 award, which the group plans to use to build 200 units and distribute them to 120 hospitals for realworld testing. The Thermavault is an innovative cooling device that uses ionocaloric cooling (离子热冷却) — a method that relies on salt dissolving (溶解) in water to absorb heat. The main cooling agent is ammonium chloride, a type of salt that can lower water temperature by 28°C． For even stronger cooling, down to -10°C , the students mixed it with barium hydroxide octahydrate, allowing the device to freeze things when needed. To keep the cold inside, the Thermavault has a metal box wrapped in special wool and rubber, which helps to insulate. Using it is simple: just pour salt into the box, add water, and stir — either by shaking or with a small gyroscope (陀螺仪). The mixture cools evenly, making it perfect for storing food or medicine without needing electricity. The team improved their process through a wide range of testing, working closely with Professor Mobin Shaikh, a material sciences expert at IIT Indore. They experimented with 15 different salts, applying scientific laws and specific heat to perfect the design. Their careful research and testing physical models paid off, impressing expert advisors and members who supported their innovation. Beyond its scientific brilliance, the Thermavault holds promise for off-grid living, disaster relief, and rural healthcare — places where reliable electricity isn’t a given. By offering an environmentally friendly way to preserve essentials, these young inventors are making a real impact. 12．What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A．The invention has come into wide use. B．The device is unlikely to change people’s life. C．The hospitals used ionocaloric cooling to take in heat. D．The students employed a combined way for stronger cooling. 13．What does the underlined word “insulate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Mix things. B．Prevent heat. C．Save electricity. D．Increase temperature. 14．What might be the writer’s attitude to the students’ innovation? A．Appreciative. B．Concerned. C．Doubtful. D．Unfavorable. 15．What does the last paragraph mainly focus on? A．An explanation of the invention. B．The background behind the invention. C．Potential significance of the invention. D．Supporting information for the invention. 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 The approach to human innovation by learning from nature is called biomimetic (仿生学的) design. 16 — from buildings to biomimetic cars. Here are some examples. 17 . Despite the weighty appearance of the boxfish, it has low flow resistance. In 2005,inspired by the great structural strength and low mass of the boxfish, Mercedes Benz developed the Bionic Car, which was reported to reduce air resistance, have high strength, low weight, and much lower fuel use compared to traditional cars. Candy-coated vaccines. Tardigrades are animals that live in water. Without water, tardigrades dry out but have developed the incredible ability to come back to life after more than 100 years. 18 . Inspired by this idea, several biotech companies adapted the process to protect live vaccines so that they no longer need to be refrigerated. Termite (白蚁) buildings. African termites have developed some clever designs to keep their houses at a .nearly steady temperature, though, outside, it may swing from 40℃ in the day to less than 2℃ at night. Termites construct their houses with a special cooling system. Architect Mick Pearce used a similar strategy when he designed the East Gate Center, an office complex in Harare, Zimbabwe. The building remains cool without the need for air conditioning. 19 . Sharkskin-inspired swimsuits. The unique surface of sharkskin reduces water resistance and inhibits the growth of tiny water plants. 20 . These suits, used in competitive swimming, copy the tiny ridges of sharkskin to improve speed and efficiency in water, helping swimmers break many world records. A．Boxfish and the Bionic Car B．Such methods are becoming increasingly popular C．There is no universal definition of biodesign as such D．This inspired the design of high-performance swimsuits E．They do this by coating their internal systems, such as DNA and proteins, in sugar F．As a result, it consumes only a tenth of the energy used by a conventional building G．There are many miracles in nature that have inspired many of our greatest creations 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 Something strange and wonderful happens when light enters a dark space through a tiny opening.

I packed up my things and headed towards the door, math symbols still racing through my mind. As I stepped into the hallway, I noticed a group of students gathered around a new poster on the bulletin board. Curious, I joined them and read the announcement: “School Science Fair: Sign up now and showcase your talents!” A wave of excitement washed over me. After all, my chance to dive into a project I was passionate about was approaching. I rushed home and started brainstorming ideas for my science fair project. Fascinated by renewable energy, I decided to focus on solar power. I spent hours researching and planning, determined to create a model of a solar-powered system that could be used in everyday life. Days turned into weeks, and I worked tirelessly, improving my model and writing up my findings. To win a prize, the project had to be both innovative and practical. I decided to build a scale model of a solar-powered water heater, a device that could be easily installed on rooftops to provide hot water for households. This would not only demonstrate the efficiency of solar energy but also its potential to save money and reduce pollution. I spent countless evenings after homework, constructing the model from recycled materials and small solar panels I ordered online. The big day finally arrived. I arrived early to set up my display, carefully arranging my model, charts, and informational handouts on the table. A small solar-powered light was even brought to show additional examples of how solar energy worked. As visitors began to stream in, I stood by my model, ready to answer any questions they would throw to me. By turning a dial to simulate (模仿) the angle of the sun, visitors saw how it affected the amount of energy my model could collect. This hands-on component made my display more engaging and helped visitors understand the science behind solar power in a more vivid way. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Time going by, more and more visitors gathered around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the day, I felt a sense of achievement beyond any prize. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 Looking into the Future单元测试·基础卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Inventions born out of love Garbage Disposers (处理器) John W.

I packed up my things and headed towards the door, math symbols still racing through my mind. As I stepped into the hallway, I noticed a group of students gathered around a new poster on the bulletin board. Curious, I joined them and read the announcement: “School Science Fair: Sign up now and showcase your talents!” A wave of excitement washed over me. After all, my chance to dive into a project I was passionate about was approaching. I rushed home and started brainstorming ideas for my science fair project. Fascinated by renewable energy, I decided to focus on solar power. I spent hours researching and planning, determined to create a model of a solar-powered system that could be used in everyday life. Days turned into weeks, and I worked tirelessly, improving my model and writing up my findings. To win a prize, the project had to be both innovative and practical. I decided to build a scale model of a solar-powered water heater, a device that could be easily installed on rooftops to provide hot water for households. This would not only demonstrate the efficiency of solar energy but also its potential to save money and reduce pollution. I spent countless evenings after homework, constructing the model from recycled materials and small solar panels I ordered online. The big day finally arrived. I arrived early to set up my display, carefully arranging my model, charts, and informational handouts on the table. A small solar-powered light was even brought to show additional examples of how solar energy worked. As visitors began to stream in, I stood by my model, ready to answer any questions they would throw to me. By turning a dial to simulate (模仿) the angle of the sun, visitors saw how it affected the amount of energy my model could collect. This hands-on component made my display more engaging and helped visitors understand the science behind solar power in a more vivid way. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Time going by, more and more visitors gathered around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the day, I felt a sense of achievement beyond any prize. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 Looking into the Future单元测试·基础卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Inventions born out of love Garbage Disposers (处理器) John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, put under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain (排水管)and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains. Surgical Gloves William Stewart Halsted, M. D．(1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict insistence to sterile(无菌的) working conditions, Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs(细菌)during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage. Band-Aids When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson &Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary adhesive (有黏性的) bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today. Magnetic (有磁性的)Shirt Buttons Maura Horton’s husband, Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently. 1．What’s the function of the InSinkErator? A．It can clear sink pipes. B．It can recycle kitchen waste. C．It can remove food waste easily. D．It can extend the service life of sinks. 2．For whom did William invent surgical gloves? A．A nurse. B．The patient. C．The surgeons D．His colleagues. 3．Which is the latest invention? A．The InSinkErator B．Band-Aids C．Surgical Gloves. D．Magnetic Shirt Buttons. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种发明，这四种发明都是源于发明人对伴侣的爱。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“T The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains.(该处理装置将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片，通常直径小于2毫米，以便通过管道。)”可知，InSinkErator用来将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片，以便更轻松地清除食物垃圾。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage. (得知护士Caroline在工作中患有皮肤病后，Halsted特意为她发明了这副手套，并在婚后送给她作为礼物。)”可知，手术手套最初是Halsted特意为他作护士工作的妻子发明的。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据这四种发明的发明时间：根据最后一段“So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012.(因此，Horton在2012年设计了一款带有磁性纽扣的衬衫。)”可知，选项A“Magnetic shirt buttons.(磁性衬衫纽扣)”的发明时间为2012年；根据第二段“William Stewart Halsted, M. D. (1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. ( William Stewart Halsted医学博士(1852-1922)是美国著名的外科医生，常被称为“现代外科之父”。)”可推断，选项B“Surgical Gloves(手术手套)”的发明时间为1852到1922之间；根据第一段“John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. (来自威斯康星州的建筑师John W. Hammes于1935年设计了InSinkErator。)”可知，选项C“The InSinkErator.”发明于1935年；根据文章第三段“When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. ( 20世纪20年代，新泽西州的Josephine Knight Dickson在为家人做饭时不断割伤自己，她的丈夫Earle Dickson介入了。)”可知，选项D“Band-Aids.”发明于20世纪20年代。由此判断，四种发明中，最新发明是Magnetic Shirt Buttons。故选A。 B Can you imagine having flexible computer screens and mobile phones which change shape to tell you when you have a new message? It sounds like a crazy idea, but in fact it’s already been realized！ In the future, the mobile phone will be your flexible friend. It will be able to change shape to tell you when you receive a message. A model called MorePhone has been created by scientists. It’s based on flexible plastic technology developed in Cambridge in the UK by an organization called Plastic Logic. Rachel Lichten, who works at Plastic Logic, describes how the scientists there have developed a process for manufacturing flexible plastic displays (显示器) which are as thin as paper. The flexible screens can be any size, and are easy to read in direct sunlight. They can be black and white or colored and are very thin and light — Lichten says you can even jump on them. They use a little power, so there is no need for large batteries, and this makes them easy to carry around. Lichten says this technology could be used for heart monitoring, smart watches and the second screens for mobile phones — because the image does not disappear, your phone can keep your boarding card details for a flight for example even when your phone’s battery is dying. Plastic Logic have spent 13 years developing this new technology. Their challenge now is to help customers to think of new ways to use it. Lichten says it is always the same with new technology. “Bringing new technology to the market is a challenge. However, you have to know what the next generation of products will be,” she says. Working with mobile phones or laptops that can roll up like a piece of paper could turn hardware into“flexi-ware”． 4．What will happen to your mobile phone in the future according to the text？ A．It can change its own shape. B．It will have no battery. C．It can talk to us like a friend. D．It will be made of paper. 5．What do we know about flexible plastic technology？ A．It is just a crazy idea. B．It was developed easily. C．It was developed by Rachel Lichten. D．It can be used in more than one field. 6．Which of the following makes the flexible screens easy to carry around？ A．No need for large batteries. B．No need for hardware. C．No need for sunlight. D．No need for power. 7．What is Lichten’s attitude to flexible plastic technology？ A．Worried. B．Positive. C．Grateful. D．Uncertain. 【答案】4．A 5．D 6．A 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了柔性塑料显示技术及其未来应用前景。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the future, the mobile phone will be your flexible friend. It will be able to change shape to tell you when you receive a message.(在未来，手机将成为你灵活的朋友。它能够改变形状来告诉你何时收到消息。)”可知，未来手机将能够改变形状以通知你收到新消息。故选A项。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Lichten says this technology could be used for heart monitoring, smart watches and the second screens for mobile phones—because the image does not disappear, your phone can keep your boarding card details for a flight for example even when your phone’s battery is dying.( Lichten表示，这种技术可用于心脏监测、智能手表以及手机的第二屏幕——因为图像不会消失，所以即使手机电量耗尽，你的手机也能为你保留登机牌等信息。)”可知，这项技术可以用于多个领域，如心脏监测、智能手表和手机副屏。故选D项。 6．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They use a little power, so there is no need for large batteries, and this makes them easy to carry around. (它们耗电量小，所以不需要大容量电池，这使得它们便于携带。)”可知，柔性屏幕使用很少的电力，因此不需要大型电池，这使得它们易于携带。故选A项。 7．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Their challenge now is to help customers to think of new ways to use it. Lichten says it is always the same with new technology.(他们目前面临的挑战是帮助客户想出新的使用方法。Lichten表示，对于新技术而言，情况总是如此。)”以及““Bringing new technology to the market is a challenge. However, you have to know what the next generation of products will be,” she says. (“将新技术推向市场是一项挑战。不过，你必须清楚下一代产品将会是什么样子。”她说道。)”可知，Lichten对新塑料技术持积极态度，认为尽管将新技术推向市场是一个挑战，但必须知道下一代产品将会是什么，这表明其对未来充满希望。故选B项。 C Plastic is everywhere, but it’s not great for our health or the planet. In the past, a common box from Amazon, an online shopping platform, arrived packed with plastic air pillows (塑料充气枕) made from flexible plastic film. When the plastic film is thrown away, it often ends up in the environment, including the oceans, where it can injure and kill marine life. In studies of 80 marine species that died after swallowing a variety of plastic rubbish, flexible plastic proved to be the deadliest. Now Amazon announced that by October 2024, it had removed all plastic air pillows from its delivery packaging. “We want to make sure the final package is easy to recycle at home,” says Pat Lindner, Amazon’s vice president of sustainable packaging. To make the change, the company had to make sure that a replacement would work as well as the plastic version. Amazon worked with supplies to find a lightweight, 100% recycled paper that’s easier to wrap around an object to protect it. It turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. The paper also takes up less space, so now more items fit in a smaller box. That translates to using less gas or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans to make a delivery. Plastic is cheap, but the new system saves the company money since there’s less risk that something will break during shipping and need replacement, Lindner says. “And so the fact that we can deliver packages more safely and with less damage is a cost saving to us.” It’s a welcome change following years of pressure from environmental groups to stop plastic pollution flooding into oceans. “The fact that the world’s largest e-commerce company has made plastic air pillows a thing of history is fantastic news for the world’s oceans,” the nonprofit Oceana said in a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement. 8．What is probably the biggest advantage of Amazon’s new delivery packaging? A．Its recyclability. B．Its safety. C．Its price. D．Its flexibility. 9．What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A．Plastic outperforms paper for packaging. B．Paper is more expensive than plastic for packaging. C．Amazon’s paper packaging is a win-win approach. D．Amazon was the first company to use recycled paper. 10．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Plastic air pillows will never be used again globally. B．Amazon was forced to make the change by environment groups. C．Large companies can significantly impact environmental progress. D．Paper packaging will completely solve the problem of ocean pollution. 11．Which would be a suitable title for the text? A．Plastic Air Pillows: A Thing of the Past. B．Plastic Packaging: Threat to Marine Life. C．Amazon’s Paper Packaging: A Great Discovery. D．Amazon’s Eco-friendly Change: Saving Costs and Oceans. 【答案】8．A 9．C 10．C 11．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亚马逊公司为减少塑料污染，用100%再生纸替代塑料充气枕作为快递包装，既节省成本又有利于海洋环境。 8．细节理解题。根据第二段中““We want to make sure the final package is easy to recycle at home,” says Pat Lindner, Amazon’s vice president of sustainable packaging.(亚马逊可持续包装副总裁帕特·林德纳说：“我们希望确保最终的包装在家中易于回收。”)可知，亚马逊新快递包装最大的优势可能是它的可回收性。故选A项。 9．推理判断题。根据第三段中“It turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. The paper also takes up less space, so now more items fit in a smaller box. That translates to using less gas or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans to make a delivery.(结果证明它的性能更好。运输过程中受损的包裹数量减少了。这种纸占用的空间也更小，所以现在更多的物品可以装进一个更小的盒子里。这意味着在公司使用电动货车送货的情况下，消耗的汽油或电力更少)”可知，亚马逊的纸质包装既减少了运输损坏又节省能源和成本，是一种双赢的方式。故选C项。 10．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s a welcome change following years of pressure from environmental groups to stop plastic pollution flooding into oceans. “The fact that the world’s largest e commerce company has made plastic air pillows a thing of history is fantastic news for the world’s oceans,” the nonprofit Oceana said in a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement.(在环保组织多年来要求停止塑料污染流入海洋的压力下，这是一个值得欢迎的改变。非营利组织Oceana在回应亚马逊的声明中表示：‘世界上最大的电子商务公司让塑料充气枕成为历史，这对世界海洋来说是个好消息。’)”可知，最大的电子商务公司亚马逊让塑料充气枕成为历史，这将有利于减少塑料污染。由此推知，大公司可以对环境改善产生重大影响。故选C项。 11．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第三段中“It turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. The paper also takes up less space, so now more items fit in a smaller box. That translates to using less gas or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans to make a delivery.(结果证明它的性能更好。运输过程中受损的包裹数量减少了。这种纸占用的空间也更小，所以现在更多的物品可以装进一个更小的盒子里。这意味着在公司使用电动货车送货的情况下，消耗的汽油或电力更少。)”和第四段中“Plastic is cheap, but the new system saves the company money since there’s less risk that something will break during shipping and need replacement(塑料很便宜，但新系统为公司节省了资金，因为运输过程中物品损坏并需要更换的风险更小)”可知，亚马逊采用新的纸质包装既节省了运输成本，又降低了物品损坏风险；同时结合最后一段中“It’s a welcome change following years of pressure from environmental groups to stop plastic pollution flooding into oceans.(在环保组织多年来要求停止塑料污染流入海洋的压力下，这是一个值得欢迎的改变。)”可知，这一改变有利于减少海洋的塑料污染。所以文章主要讲述了亚马逊用纸质包装替代塑料充气枕包装的环保改变，既节省了公司成本又有利于海洋环境。D项“Amazon’s Eco friendly Change: Saving Costs and Oceans(亚马逊的环保变革：节省成本与保护海洋)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 D In an inspiring leap toward sustainable innovation, three high school students — Dhruv Chaudhary, Mithran Ladhania, and Mridul Jain — have invented a revolutionary salt-powered refrigerator called the Thermavault. The device requires no electricity and has the potential to transform life in communities without reliable access to power. Their invention just earned them the authorative 2025 Earth Prize and a $12,500 award, which the group plans to use to build 200 units and distribute them to 120 hospitals for realworld testing. The Thermavault is an innovative cooling device that uses ionocaloric cooling (离子热冷却) — a method that relies on salt dissolving (溶解) in water to absorb heat. The main cooling agent is ammonium chloride, a type of salt that can lower water temperature by 28°C． For even stronger cooling, down to -10°C , the students mixed it with barium hydroxide octahydrate, allowing the device to freeze things when needed. To keep the cold inside, the Thermavault has a metal box wrapped in special wool and rubber, which helps to insulate. Using it is simple: just pour salt into the box, add water, and stir — either by shaking or with a small gyroscope (陀螺仪). The mixture cools evenly, making it perfect for storing food or medicine without needing electricity. The team improved their process through a wide range of testing, working closely with Professor Mobin Shaikh, a material sciences expert at IIT Indore. They experimented with 15 different salts, applying scientific laws and specific heat to perfect the design. Their careful research and testing physical models paid off, impressing expert advisors and members who supported their innovation. Beyond its scientific brilliance, the Thermavault holds promise for off-grid living, disaster relief, and rural healthcare — places where reliable electricity isn’t a given. By offering an environmentally friendly way to preserve essentials, these young inventors are making a real impact. 12．What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A．The invention has come into wide use. B．The device is unlikely to change people’s life. C．The hospitals used ionocaloric cooling to take in heat. D．The students employed a combined way for stronger cooling. 13．What does the underlined word “insulate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Mix things. B．Prevent heat. C．Save electricity. D．Increase temperature. 14．What might be the writer’s attitude to the students’ innovation? A．Appreciative. B．Concerned. C．Doubtful. D．Unfavorable. 15．What does the last paragraph mainly focus on? A．An explanation of the invention. B．The background behind the invention. C．Potential significance of the invention. D．Supporting information for the invention. 【答案】12．D 13．B 14．A 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了三名高中生发明了一款革命性的盐动力冰箱Thermavault，该设备无需电力，有望改变缺电地区人们的生活，还介绍了其原理、优势等。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The main cooling agent is ammonium chloride, a type of salt that can lower water temperature by 28°C. For even stronger cooling, down to -10°C, the students mixed it with barium hydroxide octahydrate, allowing the device to freeze things when needed.(主要的冷却剂是氯化铵，这是一种能将水温降低28℃的盐。为了实现更强的制冷效果，即低至-10°C，学生们将其与八水合氢氧化钡混合，使该设备在需要时能够冷冻物品)”可知，学生们采用了混合的方式来实现更强的制冷。故选D项。 13．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“To keep the cold inside, the Thermavault has a metal box wrapped in special wool and rubber, which helps to insulate.(为了保持内部的低温，Thermavault有一个用特殊羊毛和橡胶包裹的金属盒，这有助于……)”可知，用特殊羊毛和橡胶包裹金属盒的目的是为了保持内部的低温，即起到隔热的效果。所以“insulate”的意思是“隔热，阻止热量传递”，与B项“Prevent heat”意思相近。故选B项。 14．推理判断题。根据第一段中“In an inspiring leap toward sustainable innovation(在可持续创新方面迈出了鼓舞人心的一步)”和最后一段中“Beyond its scientific brilliance, the Thermavault holds promise for off grid living, disaster relief, and rural healthcare(除了其科学上的卓越之处，Thermavault在离网生活、救灾和农村医疗保健方面也大有可为)”等表述可知，作者对学生们的创新持赞赏的态度。故选A项。 15．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Beyond its scientific brilliance, the Thermavault holds promise for off grid living, disaster relief, and rural healthcare — places where reliable electricity isn’t a given. By offering an environmentally friendly way to preserve essentials, these young inventors are making a real impact.(除了其科学上的卓越之处，Thermavault在离网生活、救灾和农村医疗保健方面也大有可为，这些地方往往没有可靠的电力供应。通过提供一种环保的方式来保存必需品，这些年轻的发明家正在产生真正的影响)”可知，本段主要强调了Thermavault在不同场景下的应用潜力和对社会的积极影响，也就是该发明的潜在意义。故选C项。 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 The approach to human innovation by learning from nature is called biomimetic (仿生学的) design. 16 — from buildings to biomimetic cars.

I packed up my things and headed towards the door, math symbols still racing through my mind. As I stepped into the hallway, I noticed a group of students gathered around a new poster on the bulletin board. Curious, I joined them and read the announcement: “School Science Fair: Sign up now and showcase your talents!” A wave of excitement washed over me. After all, my chance to dive into a project I was passionate about was approaching. I rushed home and started brainstorming ideas for my science fair project. Fascinated by renewable energy, I decided to focus on solar power. I spent hours researching and planning, determined to create a model of a solar-powered system that could be used in everyday life. Days turned into weeks, and I worked tirelessly, improving my model and writing up my findings. To win a prize, the project had to be both innovative and practical. I decided to build a scale model of a solar-powered water heater, a device that could be easily installed on rooftops to provide hot water for households. This would not only demonstrate the efficiency of solar energy but also its potential to save money and reduce pollution. I spent countless evenings after homework, constructing the model from recycled materials and small solar panels I ordered online. The big day finally arrived. I arrived early to set up my display, carefully arranging my model, charts, and informational handouts on the table. A small solar-powered light was even brought to show additional examples of how solar energy worked. As visitors began to stream in, I stood by my model, ready to answer any questions they would throw to me. By turning a dial to simulate (模仿) the angle of the sun, visitors saw how it affected the amount of energy my model could collect. This hands-on component made my display more engaging and helped visitors understand the science behind solar power in a more vivid way. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Time going by, more and more visitors gathered around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the day, I felt a sense of achievement beyond any prize. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    Time going by, more and more visitors gathered around me. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they inspected my solar-powered water heater model. Some were students like me, while others were teachers and even parents. One little boy, with a big pair of glasses, asked me how the solar panels converted sunlight into heat energy. I explained it to him patiently, using simple terms so he could understand. Another teacher praised my practical approach to using renewable energy. As I answered their questions one by one, I felt a growing sense of pride. The interaction with them not only deepened my understanding of the project but also made me realize the significance of spreading the knowledge of solar power. At the end of the day, I felt a sense of achievement beyond any prize. Whether I would win or not didn’t seem to matter much anymore. The process of researching, building, and sharing my project had been a rewarding journey. I had learned so much about solar energy, and more importantly, I had the opportunity to inspire others with my work. The conversations I had with the visitors made me believe that I could contribute to the popularization of renewable energy in some small way. This experience had not only enhanced my scientific skills but also given me the confidence to explore more scientific fields in the future. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述“我”带着自制的太阳能热水器模型参加科学展览。一开始“我”紧张又怀疑自己，后来越来越多访客围过来，他们好奇提问，“我”耐心解答，在这个过程中“我”愈发自豪，认识到传播太阳能知识的意义。一天结束时，“我”觉得无论是否获奖，研究、制作和分享项目的过程本身就是收获颇丰的旅程，不仅让“我”学到很多太阳能知识，有机会激励他人，还增强了科学技能，给予“我”探索更多科学领域的信心。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“时间流逝，越来越多的游客聚集在我周围。”可知，第一段可描写访客对模型的好奇、提出的问题，以及“我”的解答和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“在一天结束的时候，我感到一种超越任何奖项的成就感。”可知，第二段可描写“我”超越获奖的成就感，比如过程中的收获、对未来的影响。 2. 续写线索：游客聚集——提出问题——解答——感受——成就感——感受 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①回答：answer/respond to ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③重要：matter/count 情绪类 ①耐心地：with patience/patiently ②自豪：I felt a growing sense of pride./A sense of pride rose up in me. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they inspected my solar-powered water heater model.(运用as引导的状语从句) 【高分句型2】One little boy, with a big pair of glasses, asked me how the solar panels converted sunlight into heat energy.
