Though practicing left raw skin and aching arms, the forming rough skin became marks of honor. Gradually, the guitar transformed from a painful challenge to a trusted friend. It became my voice when words failed: it helped me share feelings I couldn’t express aloud. The guitar also connected me to others. One summer, my band played at hospitals and care homes. Seeing ill children dance and elderly listeners smile taught me music’s healing power. During travels abroad, I communicated with foreign musicians through melodies when language barriers existed — our guitars-built bridges where words couldn’t. Each guitar holds a chapter of my life story. The classical guitar with warm tones witnessed my teenage growth. The bold 12-string guitar roared through my adventurous youth. My first electric guitar, chosen with my father decades ago, still carries the excitement of our bonding moment. Together, they form a living diary of my journey. In tough times, the guitar comforted me. When my mother was ill, playing it calmed my fears. It celebrated life’s joys too — winning my wife’s heart with love songs, entertaining my dancing children, and now hearing my son practice late at night, continuing our musical story. I owe this lifelong passion to my mother’s wisdom. When I nearly quit, she insisted: “True treasures demand effort.” Her faith taught me that instruments aren’t mere objects — they’re soul mirrors reflecting our best selves. Everyone deserves to find their guitar, be it a paintbrush, a soccer ball, or a notebook. What matters is how it helps us grow, connect, and discover life’s beautiful harmony. Fifty years later, I realize the guitar didn’t just teach me music — it shaped who I became. Its strings still create the soundtrack of my life, reminding me that passion and determination can turn struggles into wonderful memories. 4. What did the rough skin on the author’s fingertips symbolize? A. Mental pains from strict training. B. Pride in overcoming difficulties. C. Medical marks for finger injuries. D. Confusion about guitar techniques. 5. What does the electric guitar mean to the author? A. It comforted his father. B. It entertained elderly listeners. C. It builds up his family ties. D. It stands for his exciting youth. 6. What does the author advise everyone to do in paragraph 4? A. Take a painting course. B. Respect your mother’s wisdom. C. Try less demanding instrument. D. Discover a life-shaping tool. 7. What can we learn from the author’s guitar journey? A. Passion transforms pains into treasures. B. Enthusiasm facilitates guitar techniques. C. Childhood hobbies shape career choices. D. Mastering an instrument guarantees success. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者学吉他的经历和吉他对其生活的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Though practicing left raw skin and aching arms, the forming rough skin became marks of honor. (尽管练习让皮肤擦伤、手臂酸痛，但逐渐形成的粗糙皮肤成了荣誉的标志)”可知，作者指尖的粗糙皮肤象征着克服困难后的自豪感。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“My first electric guitar, chosen with my father decades ago, still carries the excitement of our bonding moment. (我第一把电吉他是几十年前和父亲一起挑选的，它至今仍承载着我们增进感情那一刻的兴奋)”可知，电吉他增进了作者和父亲的感情，对作者来说意味着增进了家庭关系。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Everyone deserves to find their guitar, be it a paintbrush, a soccer ball, or a notebook. What matters is how it helps us grow, connect, and discover life’s beautiful harmony. (每个人都值得找到自己的“吉他”，无论是画笔、足球还是笔记本。重要的是它如何帮助我们成长、与人建立联系并发现生活中美好的和谐)”可知，作者建议每个人去找到自己的“吉他”，去发现一个能塑造人生的工具。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fifty years later, I realize the guitar didn’t just teach me music — it shaped who I became. Its strings still create the soundtrack of my life, reminding me that passion and determination can turn struggles into wonderful memories. (五十年后，我意识到吉他不仅仅教会了我音乐——它塑造了现在的我。它的琴弦仍在谱写我生活的乐章，提醒着我激情和决心可以将奋斗转化为美好的回忆)”可知，吉他的琴弦仍在谱写作者生活的乐章，提醒着作者激情和决心可以将奋斗转化为美好的回忆。所以，从作者的吉他之旅中我们能学到激情能将努力转化为美好的回忆，这是一种财富。故选A项。 C It may surprise some people unfamiliar with the comic book industry, with its multibillion-dollar movie tie-ins, that it has been on the edge of collapse multiple times over the decades. Now Al tools are adding new fears of a death knell. From political censorship (审查) in the 1950s to a sales crash in the 1990s and the modern era of digital distribution, creators can be understandably opposed to a technology widely viewed as a vehicle for copyright theft. Some artists are embracing generative AI despite tensions over its use, hoping to ride the disruptive wave like comic book creators have done time and again to survive. But many creators think AI’s advantages don’t outweigh its downsides. Amy Reeder, an established artist, believes she lost potential work due to the tech. “I’m pretty sure that I was offered and then lost a job because of AI,” she said. Steve Ellis, an industry veteran and art teacher, said he remains concerned about the potential barriers to entry Al could create in the comic book industry. He highlighted “the little gigs (工作) that get taken and all those little gigs take away the training wheels, the skill building” for young artists. “Talking to the students, they really are worried and affected and don’t know what to do, and I think some of them probably are considering how I use this in my work,” Ellis added. Even some established artists with a secure position in the industry don’t feel safe, afraid that their copyrighted material is being stolen without payments, used to train the diffusion (扩散) models and added to commercial work without their say. Comic artist Ben Caldwell argued that Al advocates often echo the views of a larger “anti-IP movement” looking to free up big corporate copyrights, such as those owned by Disney, “which is understandable in terms of wanting to prevent a lockdown of creativity, but has been in some cases blindly, in other cases deliberately, weaponized against small creators.” 8. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined words “death knell” in paragraph 1? A. A warning signal of decline. B. A tool for creative inspiration. C. A proposal for copyright issues. D. A symbol of technological progress. 9. Why do some artists embrace generative AI? A. To create art in a brand-new style. B. To replace traditional drawing with AI. C. To follow the latest technological trend. D. To stay competitive in the changing industry. 10. What is Steve Ellis’ main concern about Al in the comic industry? A. It reduces the number of comic books. B. It causes more competition among artists. C. It makes comic art education unnecessary. D. It prevents the development of young artists. 11. What is Ben Caldwell’s attitude toward the “anti-IP movement”? A. Fully supportive. B. Strongly opposed. C. Cautiously neutral. D. Completely indifferent. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕人工智能对漫画行业的影响展开论述，呈现不同创作者对AI的看法和担忧。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“it has been on the edge of collapse multiple times over the decades(在过去的几十年里，它已经多次处于崩溃的边缘)”及“Now AI tools are adding new fears of a death knell(现在，人工智能工具又增添了对death knell新的恐惧)”可知，漫画产业多次濒临崩溃，AI可能加速其衰落，“death knell”喻指行业衰落的警示。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some artists are embracing generative AI despite tensions over its use, hoping to ride the disruptive wave like comic book creators have done time and again to survive.(一些艺术家正在接受生成人工智能，尽管它的使用存在紧张局势，他们希望像漫画创作者一次又一次地生存下来一样，利用颠覆性的浪潮)”可知，有些艺术家会接受生成式AI是为了在不断变化的行业中保持竞争力。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“He highlighted “the little gigs (工作) that get taken and all those little gigs take away the training wheels, the skill building” for young artists.(他强调，对于年轻艺术家来说，‘小工作被拿走了，所有这些小工作都带走了训练的轮子，带走了技能的培养’)”可知，史蒂夫·埃利斯对漫画行业中人工智能的主要担忧是小工作被夺走，年轻艺术家失去技能培养机会，它阻碍了年轻艺术家的发展。故选 D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Comic artist Ben Caldwell argued that Al advocates often echo the views of a larger “anti-IP movement” looking to free up big corporate copyrights, such as those owned by Disney, “which is understandable in terms of wanting to prevent a lockdown of creativity, but has been in some cases blindly, in other cases deliberately, weaponized against small creators.”(漫画艺术家本·考德威尔认为，人工智能的倡导者经常呼应一场更大的‘反知识产权运动’的观点，他们希望解放大公司的版权，比如迪士尼拥有的版权。‘从防止创造力被封锁的角度来看，这是可以理解的，但在某些情况下，这是盲目的，在其他情况下，这是故意的，针对小创作者的武器。’)”可知，本·考德威尔对“反知识产权运动”持有谨慎、中立的态度。故选 C。 D Our planet is polluted by plastic. Tiny bits of it, called microplastics, have been found everywhere. That’s why scientists keep looking for ways to break down this material. Now, they’ve discovered a promising new strategy. Bacteria common in wastewater can break down the world’s most widely used plastic called PET. That finding could inform new ways to clean up PET pollution, which may make up around half of all the microplastic in wastewater. The bacteria in question are Comamonas (单胞菌). Scientists have long known these bacteria grow on plastics in water. That got Ludmilla Aristilde wondering whether the bacteria feed on plastic. Aristilde is an environmental biochemist. Her team decided to carry out the investigation. Since microplastics and bacteria are both tiny, it can be hard to tell what the bacteria are doing to PET. To find out, Aristilde’s team placed the bacteria in a liquid-filled container for a month with thin, flat strips (条) of PET. Afterward, they looked at the surface of the plastic with a microscope. This type of microscope can create very detailed images of surfaces. The team found that the PET were breaking apart. Nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) of PET now floated in the water. At the end of the month, nearly three times as many nano bits were in the water as before. This showed that the bacteria had been breaking apart the PET. The bacteria also multiplied faster when they had PET available. That suggests they were using the plastic bits as food. Ren Wei, a biochemist at the University of Greifswald, is doubtful about employing the bacteria’s ability to clean up PET pollution. The tiny bacteria eat super tiny amounts of plastic. The rate, Wei says, is far too slow to remove much of the vast amounts that enter the environment each year. He points out that breaking down plastics with bacteria should be considered an emergency technique and not a main solution. Let’s focus first on using less plastic, he says, and making it more reusable. 12. What is the aim of the experiment? A. To find out the source of Comamonas. B. To predict the harm of plastic pollution. C. To prove how Comamonas can survive in water. D. To check if plastic serves as Comamonas’s food. 13. What phenomenon appeared in the experiment? A. The water was polluted by PET plastic. B. Lots of nano bits fell off the PET plastic. C. The Comamonas bacteria floated on the water. D. The Comamonas bacteria changed fast in water. 14. What does Ren Wei advocate? A. Reducing the use of plastic. B. Making Comamonas eat faster. C. Stopping making plastic products. D. Using bacteria to solve plastic pollution. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. PET Plastic Is Polluting the Planet B. Wastewater Bacteria Break down Plastic C. Wastewater Is the Birthplace of Comamonas Bacteria D. Scientists Are Trying to Solve Plastic Pollution Problem 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家发现废水中的单胞菌可以分解PET塑料，以及科学家对此研究的不同看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“That got Ludmilla Aristilde wondering whether the bacteria feed on plastic. Aristilde is an environmental biochemist. Her team decided to carry out the investigation. (这让Ludmilla Aristilde怀疑这些细菌是否以塑料为食。Aristilde是一名环境生物化学家。她的团队决定展开调查)”可推知，实验的目的是检查塑料是否为单胞菌的食物。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The team found that the PET were breaking apart. Nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) of PET now floated in the water. At the end of the month, nearly three times as many nano bits were in the water as before. (研究小组发现PET正在分解。PET的纳米颗粒现在漂浮在水中。到月底，水中的纳米颗粒数量几乎是之前的三倍)”可知，实验中出现的现象是许多纳米颗粒从PET塑料上脱落。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Let’s focus first on using less plastic, he says, and making it more reusable. (他说，让我们首先关注减少塑料的使用，并使其更可重复使用)”可知，Ren Wei倡导减少塑料的使用。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Bacteria common in wastewater can break down the world’s most widely used plastic called PET. That finding could inform new ways to clean up PET pollution, which may make up around half of all the microplastic in wastewater.(废水中常见的细菌可以分解世界上使用最广泛的塑料PET。这一发现可能会为清理PET污染提供新的方法，PET污染可能占废水中所有微塑料的一半左右)”以及文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了科学家发现废水中的单胞菌可以分解世界上最广泛使用的塑料PET，以及科学家对此研究的不同看法，所以“废水细菌分解塑料”适合作为文章主旨。故选B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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to choose a good movie to watch?

Damson, her brown pony (小马) , stood lazily swishing his tail under a tree. Tess and her family moved in their new cottage a week ago. The fields belonged to an older lady called Mrs. Radley, who kept two small ponies. Mrs. Radley had been too happy to have Damson join the herd. ‌“It’s perfect here, isn’t it, Damson?” Tess whispered to her pony, smiling, ‌“I have you by my side and maybe I can make some new friends.” Tess’s hopes were quickly dashed. On her first day at her new school, the other children didn’t seem very interested in her. At lunch, she overheard some girls talking about their ponies and found the courage to join them. ‌“I’ve got a pony, too,” Tess said brightly, her heart racing. ‌“His name is Damson. He’s just across the lane from my house.” The girls turned to look at her. And then they went back to their conversation, as if she hadn’t spoken at all. By the end of the day, feeling more alone than ever, Tess went straight to the yard. Damson’s ears pricked (竖起) forward as she approached, and he gave a soft nicker of greeting. ‌“At least you’re happy to see me,” she smiled for the first time all day, touching his smooth and soft nose. She grabbed a brush and began grooming him, letting her thoughts spill out like water from a tap. ‌“School was awful today, Damson. The kids don’t like me. What if I never make any new friends?” Damson twitched (抽动) his ears as if he were listening, and Tess felt a tiny bit better just saying the words out loud. In the following week, Tess spent her days sitting in the corner of the classroom, alone on the bus, or in the library, and spent her afternoons sobbing beside Damson as she unburdened her worries about fitting in. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 On Friday evening, as Tess sat on her bed staring out at the darkening fields, her mum walked in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following Saturday, Tess rode Damson to the Pony Club where training courses took place. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: On Friday evening, as Tess sat on her bed staring out at the darkening fields, her mum walked in. ‌“Tess?” she began, ‌“I bumped into Mrs. Radley this evening and she said you’ve been talking to Damson about the awful school life.” Tess’s face burned with embarrassment. She wondered how Mrs. Radley had overheard her talking to Damson. Pulling her into a hug, Mum comforted her and put forward a good idea. ‌“What if we found a way for you to meet other horsey kids? There’s a local Pony Club that Mrs. Radley mentioned. They run regular training and events. Maybe you can find some happiness there.” The following Saturday, Tess rode Damson to the Pony Club where training courses took place. The yard buzzed with excitement as children on ponies of all shapes and sizes gathered in the area. Tess felt nervous at first, but the instructor welcomed her warmly. As the lesson began, Tess quickly realized she wasn’t alone. One of the girls from her school, Ruby, was riding a grey pony. During the training, they became more familiar with each other. By the end of the lesson, Tess was laughing along with Ruby and other girls as they cooled off their ponies. For the first time since moving, she felt a sense of belonging. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tess一家搬到新住处，她的小马Damson也一同前来。但她在新学校不受欢迎，只能向Damson倾诉烦恼。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“周五晚上，当Tess坐在床上凝视着逐渐变暗的田野时，她的妈妈走了进来。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈得知Tess在学校的糟糕情况后，提出让她去当地小马俱乐部结识其他爱马孩子的建议。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来的周六，Tess骑着Damson去了有培训课程的小马俱乐部。”可知，第二段可描写Tess在俱乐部的经历，她结识了新朋友，有了归属感。 2. 续写线索：妈妈提出建议——Tess前往俱乐部——结识新朋友——获得归属感 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①偶然遇见：bump into/run into ②提出：put forward/come up with ③聚集：gather/assemble 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness ②紧张：nervous/anxious 【点睛】[高分句型1] Pulling her into a hug, Mum comforted her and put forward a good idea.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型2] The yard buzzed with excitement as children on ponies of all shapes and sizes gathered in the area.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型3] By the end of the lesson, Tess was laughing along with Ruby and other girls as they cooled off their ponies.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 罗平县2024—2025学年春季学期期末教学质量检测 高二英语试卷 试卷共8页，67小题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟： 注意事项： 1.考查范围：高中全部内容。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4.考生必须保持答题卡的整洁，考试结束后，请将答题卡交回： 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

Though practicing left raw skin and aching arms, the forming rough skin became marks of honor. Gradually, the guitar transformed from a painful challenge to a trusted friend. It became my voice when words failed: it helped me share feelings I couldn’t express aloud. The guitar also connected me to others. One summer, my band played at hospitals and care homes. Seeing ill children dance and elderly listeners smile taught me music’s healing power. During travels abroad, I communicated with foreign musicians through melodies when language barriers existed — our guitars-built bridges where words couldn’t. Each guitar holds a chapter of my life story. The classical guitar with warm tones witnessed my teenage growth. The bold 12-string guitar roared through my adventurous youth. My first electric guitar, chosen with my father decades ago, still carries the excitement of our bonding moment. Together, they form a living diary of my journey. In tough times, the guitar comforted me. When my mother was ill, playing it calmed my fears. It celebrated life’s joys too — winning my wife’s heart with love songs, entertaining my dancing children, and now hearing my son practice late at night, continuing our musical story. I owe this lifelong passion to my mother’s wisdom. When I nearly quit, she insisted: “True treasures demand effort.” Her faith taught me that instruments aren’t mere objects — they’re soul mirrors reflecting our best selves. Everyone deserves to find their guitar, be it a paintbrush, a soccer ball, or a notebook. What matters is how it helps us grow, connect, and discover life’s beautiful harmony. Fifty years later, I realize the guitar didn’t just teach me music — it shaped who I became. Its strings still create the soundtrack of my life, reminding me that passion and determination can turn struggles into wonderful memories. 4. What did the rough skin on the author’s fingertips symbolize? A. Mental pains from strict training. B. Pride in overcoming difficulties. C. Medical marks for finger injuries. D. Confusion about guitar techniques. 5. What does the electric guitar mean to the author? A. It comforted his father. B. It entertained elderly listeners. C. It builds up his family ties. D. It stands for his exciting youth. 6. What does the author advise everyone to do in paragraph 4? A. Take a painting course. B. Respect your mother’s wisdom. C. Try less demanding instrument. D. Discover a life-shaping tool. 7. What can we learn from the author’s guitar journey? A. Passion transforms pains into treasures. B. Enthusiasm facilitates guitar techniques. C. Childhood hobbies shape career choices. D. Mastering an instrument guarantees success. C It may surprise some people unfamiliar with the comic book industry, with its multibillion-dollar movie tie-ins, that it has been on the edge of collapse multiple times over the decades. Now Al tools are adding new fears of a death knell. From political censorship (审查) in the 1950s to a sales crash in the 1990s and the modern era of digital distribution, creators can be understandably opposed to a technology widely viewed as a vehicle for copyright theft. Some artists are embracing generative AI despite tensions over its use, hoping to ride the disruptive wave like comic book creators have done time and again to survive. But many creators think AI’s advantages don’t outweigh its downsides. Amy Reeder, an established artist, believes she lost potential work due to the tech. “I’m pretty sure that I was offered and then lost a job because of AI,” she said. Steve Ellis, an industry veteran and art teacher, said he remains concerned about the potential barriers to entry Al could create in the comic book industry. He highlighted “the little gigs (工作) that get taken and all those little gigs take away the training wheels, the skill building” for young artists. “Talking to the students, they really are worried and affected and don’t know what to do, and I think some of them probably are considering how I use this in my work,” Ellis added. Even some established artists with a secure position in the industry don’t feel safe, afraid that their copyrighted material is being stolen without payments, used to train the diffusion (扩散) models and added to commercial work without their say. Comic artist Ben Caldwell argued that Al advocates often echo the views of a larger “anti-IP movement” looking to free up big corporate copyrights, such as those owned by Disney, “which is understandable in terms of wanting to prevent a lockdown of creativity, but has been in some cases blindly, in other cases deliberately, weaponized against small creators.” 8. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined words “death knell” in paragraph 1? A. A warning signal of decline. B. A tool for creative inspiration. C. A proposal for copyright issues. D. A symbol of technological progress. 9. Why do some artists embrace generative AI? A. To create art in a brand-new style. B. To replace traditional drawing with AI. C. To follow the latest technological trend. D. To stay competitive in the changing industry. 10. What is Steve Ellis’ main concern about Al in the comic industry? A. It reduces the number of comic books. B. It causes more competition among artists. C. It makes comic art education unnecessary. D. It prevents the development of young artists. 11. What is Ben Caldwell’s attitude toward the “anti-IP movement”? A. Fully supportive. B. Strongly opposed. C. Cautiously neutral. D. Completely indifferent. D Our planet is polluted by plastic. Tiny bits of it, called microplastics, have been found everywhere. That’s why scientists keep looking for ways to break down this material. Now, they’ve discovered a promising new strategy. Bacteria common in wastewater can break down the world’s most widely used plastic called PET. That finding could inform new ways to clean up PET pollution, which may make up around half of all the microplastic in wastewater. The bacteria in question are Comamonas (单胞菌). Scientists have long known these bacteria grow on plastics in water. That got Ludmilla Aristilde wondering whether the bacteria feed on plastic. Aristilde is an environmental biochemist. Her team decided to carry out the investigation. Since microplastics and bacteria are both tiny, it can be hard to tell what the bacteria are doing to PET. To find out, Aristilde’s team placed the bacteria in a liquid-filled container for a month with thin, flat strips (条) of PET. Afterward, they looked at the surface of the plastic with a microscope. This type of microscope can create very detailed images of surfaces. The team found that the PET were breaking apart. Nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) of PET now floated in the water. At the end of the month, nearly three times as many nano bits were in the water as before. This showed that the bacteria had been breaking apart the PET. The bacteria also multiplied faster when they had PET available. That suggests they were using the plastic bits as food. Ren Wei, a biochemist at the University of Greifswald, is doubtful about employing the bacteria’s ability to clean up PET pollution. The tiny bacteria eat super tiny amounts of plastic. The rate, Wei says, is far too slow to remove much of the vast amounts that enter the environment each year. He points out that breaking down plastics with bacteria should be considered an emergency technique and not a main solution. Let’s focus first on using less plastic, he says, and making it more reusable. 12. What is the aim of the experiment? A. To find out the source of Comamonas. B. To predict the harm of plastic pollution. C. To prove how Comamonas can survive in water. D. To check if plastic serves as Comamonas’s food. 13. What phenomenon appeared in the experiment? A. The water was polluted by PET plastic. B. Lots of nano bits fell off the PET plastic. C. The Comamonas bacteria floated on the water. D. The Comamonas bacteria changed fast in water. 14. What does Ren Wei advocate? A. Reducing the use of plastic. B. Making Comamonas eat faster. C. Stopping making plastic products. D. Using bacteria to solve plastic pollution. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. PET Plastic Is Polluting the Planet B. Wastewater Bacteria Break down Plastic C. Wastewater Is the Birthplace of Comamonas Bacteria D.

Damson, her brown pony (小马) , stood lazily swishing his tail under a tree. Tess and her family moved in their new cottage a week ago. The fields belonged to an older lady called Mrs. Radley, who kept two small ponies. Mrs. Radley had been too happy to have Damson join the herd. ‌“It’s perfect here, isn’t it, Damson?” Tess whispered to her pony, smiling, ‌“I have you by my side and maybe I can make some new friends.” Tess’s hopes were quickly dashed. On her first day at her new school, the other children didn’t seem very interested in her. At lunch, she overheard some girls talking about their ponies and found the courage to join them. ‌“I’ve got a pony, too,” Tess said brightly, her heart racing. ‌“His name is Damson. He’s just across the lane from my house.” The girls turned to look at her. And then they went back to their conversation, as if she hadn’t spoken at all. By the end of the day, feeling more alone than ever, Tess went straight to the yard. Damson’s ears pricked (竖起) forward as she approached, and he gave a soft nicker of greeting. ‌“At least you’re happy to see me,” she smiled for the first time all day, touching his smooth and soft nose. She grabbed a brush and began grooming him, letting her thoughts spill out like water from a tap. ‌“School was awful today, Damson. The kids don’t like me. What if I never make any new friends?” Damson twitched (抽动) his ears as if he were listening, and Tess felt a tiny bit better just saying the words out loud. In the following week, Tess spent her days sitting in the corner of the classroom, alone on the bus, or in the library, and spent her afternoons sobbing beside Damson as she unburdened her worries about fitting in. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 On Friday evening, as Tess sat on her bed staring out at the darkening fields, her mum walked in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following Saturday, Tess rode Damson to the Pony Club where training courses took place. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
