Solving the growing plastic waste puzzle
As hard as it is to imagine a time when we weren’t buried in plastics, mass production of synthetic polymers (合成聚合物) didn’t really begin until about 1950. Since then, however, we’ve generated an estimated 8.3 billion tons of the stuff — with about half that total coming since 2000 — and we’ve deserted something like 6.3 billion tons of it.
Unfortunately for the planet, only about 9 percent of that plastic waste has ever been recycled. Another 12 percent has been burned, most recently in waste-to-energy facilities. But most of the rest has gone into landfills — or worse, into the environment.
Much of what is done to recover plastic from the waste stream is a purely mechanical process. Once the plastic items have been sorted by polymer type and sent to the recycling workplace, they are simply cut up, washed clean and melted down into pellets (团粒). The pellets are then sold to manufacturers that will incorporate (组合) the material into new products.
Many of the chemical recycling techniques are already quite mature. According to a 2019 report by Closed Loop Partners, a New York-based investment firm that invests in circular economy-related startups, that list includes more than 40 plastics recycling plants that are either operating or scheduled to open within the next few years in the United States and Canada alone. At least some of those plants are expected to incorporate chemical recycling technology.
1. When does plastic waste reach its peak?
A. Before 1950. B. Before 2000.
C. After 2019. D. In recent decades.
2. At which procedure can plastics waste be made into monomers?
A. Plastic manufacturing. B. Oil and gas refining.
C. Chemical recycling. D. Mechanical recycling.
3. What is the sign of successful plastic waste recycling?
A. Plastic waste recycling becomes commercialized.
B. Plastic waste has been made into new plastics.
C. Most of plastic waste has already gone into landfills.
D. Much has been burned in waste-to-energy facilities.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A

Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident of Western North Carolina, brings a deeply personal camera to cover the destruction of Hurricane Helene. As a graduate of Appalachian State University in Documentary and Appalachian Studies, Barber focuses on capturing (拍摄) rural life in his beloved mountains. However, Helene presented an unexpected challenge.
“The photos of destruction are endless, and are going to continue to be endless,” he said. Barber drove over 1,000 miles in the region over three days last week, to Brevard and beyond, finding the shots, talking with rescue workers and residents. But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm’s destruction and the beginnings of recovery. “I started to feel the outsider in me becomes the insider,” he says.
His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement, he found no gas or food, realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood. At a Marion gas station, he photographed a man whose house was half-destroyed, a pure introduction to the degree of personal loss.
Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots. “I’m trying to experience and listen,” he says, valuing the sense of place and people. While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster. He met tired and hungry residents maintaining positive attitudes, like a Bat Cave-born volunteer firefighter in Chimney Rock who insisted, “We’ll be all right… Things will be a little different but we’ll still be here.”
As national attention shifts, Barber will remain focused on Appalachia. His rapid response during Helene “confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place,” he says, ensuring his choice to live in Morganton over larger art centres. “I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good.”
4. What prepared Barber to cover Hurricane Helene?
A. His studies in big cities. B. His local life experience.
C. Special disaster training. D. Work with national media.
5. What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Limited. B. Enormous. C. Advanced. D. Further.
6. What makes Barber’s photos different from others?
A. Centering on destruction. B. Ignoring people’s suffering.
C. Focusing on people’s spirits. D. Avoiding geological change.
7. What does Barber’s story show?
A. Social responsibilities matter. B. Disaster shots define impact.
C. Big cities offer better growth. D. Teamwork is crucial in media.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident of Western North Carolina (Jesse Barber是一位纪实摄影师,也是北卡罗来纳州西部的终身居民)”和“As a graduate of Appalachian State University in Documentary and Appalachian Studies, Barber focuses on capturing rural life in his beloved mountains. (作为阿巴拉契亚州立大学纪录片和阿巴拉契亚研究专业的毕业生,Barber专注于记录他深爱的山区乡村生活)”可知,Barber是长期生活在北卡罗来纳州西部的本地人,并专门研究该地区的乡村生活,这种本地生活经验为他报道飓风Helene奠定了基础。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement, he found no gas or food, realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood. (当一位编辑建议住在阿什维尔的酒店时,Barber知道这根本不可行。离开自己被洪水淹没的地下室后,他发现加油站没有汽油,商店也没有食物——这让他意识到,实际情况远比编辑们想象的更为严峻)”可知,Barber对当地情况有深入的了解,能判断出记者的建议不可行,说明他的知识很“丰富”,画线词copious意为“丰富的,很多的”,与Enormous“(数量)巨大的”意思相近。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots. (Barber的方法更注重与人的联系,而非快速拍摄灾难场景)”和“While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster. (在记录触目惊心的地质变化的同时,他也试图在这场灾难中寻找人们的坚韧与希望)”可知,Barber的照片不仅记录破坏,更关注人们在灾难中表现出的韧性与希望,即聚焦于人们的精神层面,这使其照片有别于他人。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As national attention shifts, Barber will remain focused on Appalachia. (当全国的关注逐渐转移时,Barber仍会持续聚焦阿巴拉契亚地区)”和“I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good. (我确实认为我的工作和指引是有价值的。我只想为我的乡亲们做些实事)”可知,Barber选择扎根家乡,用镜头记录当地故事,为乡亲们带来积极影响,体现了他的社会责任感,其故事表明社会责任的重要性。故选A项。
C
Electric vehicles (EVs) are cars with engines powered by electricity rather than the internal combustion engines (内燃机) found in gasoline-powered cars.
Across the world, traditional producers are adding EVs to their product lineups, as well as improving battery technology and vehicle range. In many markets, EVs are now cheaper to operate than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, though upfront costs are higher. And EVs are only expected to get cheaper. But do they have any advantages in saving our environment?
In short, yes. A common sense about EVs is that harvesting the elements needed to produce their batteries is more harmful for the environment than building an ICEV (内燃机汽车) is. Despite the higher greenhouse gas emissions (排放) associated with building EVs, their total emissions over the life of the car can be 40% to 60% lower than the emissions of ICEVs, because EVs do not produce any carbon dioxide when driven.
Although the harvesting of rare earth minerals and other elements needed for EV batteries is environmentally harmful, EV batteries can be recycled at the end of their lifetime. For instance, battery recycling company Umicore says it can reclaim 95% of metallic substances such as nickel, copper and cobalt in EV batteries for reuse.
Because EVs tend to be heavier than ICEVs and produce higher torque (扭矩), some have argued that EVs wear through tyres more quickly and produce more particulate matter — a harmful material than gas-powered cars do. A study by researchers at the University of Portsmouth in the U.K. found that tyre breakdown accounted for 28% of the world’s microplastics.
But tyre friction in both ICEVs and EVs produces particulate pollution, and driving style and road quality have bigger impacts on how much pollution is produced, German tyre producer Continental told The Guardian.
Finally, if power plants and car producing plants increasingly use renewable sources of energy, the initial emissions associated with making EVs will approach zero. ICEVs, in comparison, will always release CO2.
8. What is a difference in cost between EVs and ICEVs?
A. ICEVs need cheaper repairs. B. ICEVs save more on fuel.
C. EVs have lower upfront costs. D. EVs have less driving expense.
9. What does the example of Umicore show about EV battery recycling?
A. It recovers more renewable items.
B. It is not yet widely adopted in EVs.
C. It causes new environmental problems.
D. It focuses on non-metallic elements.
10. Why might future EVs be even better for the environment?
A. They will use fewer rare Earth minerals.
B. More industries may use renewable energy.
C. They will become lighter than traditional cars.
D. Tyre technology will stop producing microplastics.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Are EV Batteries Recycled?
B. EVs vs ICEVs: Cost Comparison?
C. The Future of Renewable Energy in Cars?
D. More Environmentally Friendly, ICEVs or EVs?
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了电动汽车是否比传统内燃机汽车更环保,指出尽管电动汽车在制造过程中排放更高且电池所需矿物开采有害环境,但其全生命周期排放更低,电池可回收,且未来随着可再生能源的使用,其环保性将进一步提升。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In many markets, EVs are now cheaper to operate than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, though upfront costs are higher. (在许多市场,尽管电动汽车的前期成本更高,但目前其使用成本比传统汽油动力汽车更低。)”可知,电动汽车与内燃机汽车在成本上的差异是电动汽车的行驶(使用)成本更低。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For instance, battery recycling company Umicore says it can reclaim 95% of metallic substances such as nickel, copper and cobalt in EV batteries for reuse. (例如,电池回收公司Umicore表示,它可以回收电动汽车电池中 95% 的金属物质,如镍、铜和钴,以便重新利用。)”可知,Umicore的例子表明电动汽车电池回收能回收大量可重复利用的金属物质,即回收更多可再利用物品。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Finally, if power plants and car producing plants increasingly use renewable sources of energy, the initial emissions associated with making EVs will approach zero. (最后,如果发电厂和汽车制造厂越来越多地使用可再生能源,那么与制造电动汽车相关的初始排放量将接近零。)”可知,未来电动汽车对环境更友好的原因可能是更多行业(如发电厂、汽车制造厂)会使用可再生能源。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第二段“Across the world, traditional producers are adding EVs to their product lineups, as well as improving battery technology and vehicle range. In many markets, EVs are now cheaper to operate than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, though upfront costs are higher. And EVs are only expected to get cheaper. But do they have any advantages in saving our environment? (在世界各地,传统生产商正在将电动汽车添加到他们的产品线中,并改进电池技术和续航里程。在许多市场,电动汽车现在比传统的汽油动力汽车更便宜,尽管前期成本更高。预计电动汽车只会变得更便宜。但是,它们在拯救我们的环境方面有什么优势吗?)”可知,文章开篇引出电动汽车,随后围绕“电动汽车是否比内燃机汽车更环保”展开,对比两者在碳排放、电池回收、轮胎污染等方面的差异,最后指出若更多行业使用可再生能源,电动汽车环保优势将更明显。因此D项 “More Environmentally Friendly, ICEVs or EVs? (内燃机汽车和电动汽车,哪个更环保?)”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
D
The gravitational pull of Mars may be strong enough to stir (搅动) up Earth’s ocean, shifting its sediment (沉淀物) as part of a 2.4-million-year climate cycle, researchers claim.
It has long been accepted that shifts in Earth’s orbit around the sun influence the planet's climate, with these Milankovitch cycles operating on periods measured in thousands of years. Now, Adriana Dutkiewicz at the University of Sydney and her teammates say they have found a 2.4-million-year “Grand Cycle”, which they believe is driven by Mars and has had dramatic impacts on currents in Earth’s oceans for at least 40 million years.
The evidence for this cycle comes from almost 300 deep-sea drill cores that reveal unexpected variation in the ocean sediment. During periods of stable ocean currents, oceanographers expect sediment to settle in steady layers, but unusual currents can see it stored elsewhere.
According to the team, absences or interruptions in the sediment record line up with times when Mars’s gravity puts maximum force on Earth, impacting our planet’s orbital stability. This changes solar radiation levels and climate, resulting in stronger currents in the oceans.
Team member Dietmar Müller, also at the University of Sydney, acknowledges that the distance between Earth and Mars is so vast that it is hard to imagine any significant gravitational force being produced. “But there are so many feedbacks that can reflect changes,” he says. “Mars’s impact on Earth’s climate is similar to a butterfly effect.”
Benjamin Mills at the University of Leeds, UK, says the drill cores provide more evidence for the existence of global environmental change.
“Many of us have seen these multi-million-year cycles in various different geological, geochemical and biological records — including during the famous explosion of animal life in the Cambrian Period,” he says. “This paper helps confirm these ideas as key parts of environmental change.”
12. What evidence supports the 2.4-million-year cycle?
A. Changes in Earth’s orbit.
B. Variation in ocean sediment.
C. Records of solar radiation.
D. Impact on Earth’s gravity.
13. What can we infer about Mars’s gravity?
A. It directly controls Earth’s climate.
B It has no influence on Earth’s orbit.
C. It slightly weakens Earth’s ocean currents.
D. Its effect on Earth is indirect but significant.
14. What is Dietmar Müller’s attitude towards the research?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.
15. Why does Benjamin Mills mention the Cambrian Period?
A. To question the new finding.
B. To introduce a new theory.
C. To show the cycle’s long history.
D. To explain the butterfly effect.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了悉尼大学的研究人员发现火星引力可能对地球海洋环流和气候产生影响的240万年周期,并讨论了相关证据和科学界的看法。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The evidence for this cycle comes from almost 300 deep-sea drill cores that reveal unexpected variation in the ocean sediment.(这一周期的证据来自近300个深海钻探岩心,这些岩心揭示了海洋沉积物中意想不到的变化)”可知,这一周期的证据来自近300个深海钻探岩心揭示的海洋沉积物变化。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Team member Dietmar Müller, also at the University of Sydney, acknowledges that the distance between Earth and Mars is so vast that it is hard to imagine any significant gravitational force being produced. “But there are so many feedbacks that can reflect changes,” he says. “Mars’s impact on Earth’s climate is similar to a butterfly effect.”(同样来自悉尼大学的团队成员Dietmar Müller承认,地球和火星之间的距离非常遥远,很难想象会产生任何重大的引力。“但是有太多的反馈可以反映变化,”他说。“火星对地球气候的影响类似于蝴蝶效应。”)”可知,火星和地球之间的距离非常遥远,其引力对地球的直接影响微乎其微,但这种影响通过复杂的反馈机制间接地显著改变了地球的气候。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中Dietmar Müller的话“But there are so many feedbacks that can reflect changes(但是有太多的反馈可以反映变化)”以及“Mars’s impact on Earth’s climate is similar to a butterfly effect.(火星对地球气候的影响类似于蝴蝶效应)”可知,Dietmar Müller认为火星引力对地球气候的影响虽然微小,但通过复杂的反馈机制可能会产生显著效果,说明他对这项研究持支持态度。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many of us have seen these multi-million-year cycles in various different geological, geochemical and biological records — including during the famous explosion of animal life in the Cambrian Period(我们许多人在各种不同的地质、地球化学和生物记录中都看到了这些数百万年的周期——包括寒武纪动物生命大爆发的著名时期)”可知,Benjamin Mills提到寒武纪是为了说明这种周期在地球历史中长期存在,从而支持该周期的古老性和普遍性。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
There are all sorts of reasons that someone might be in a coma(昏迷). So, while it’s true that people survive them all the time, it can still be incredibly worrying to experience someone you love being in one. This is something that a man named Kole Larsen understands all too well. ____16____Although we don’t know why that was the case, we do know this: Kole thought he was going to lose her.
While visiting Mom Kole would often sing a song for her — evidence has shown that people in a coma can actually hear what’s going on around them. ____17____And one day, Kole had the unexpected opportunity to witness firsthand proof. While he sang, Mom began to tap(轻拍) along.
The pure joy in Kole’s eyes as his mom taps along is indescribable. ____18____Best of all, though, Mom went on to make a full recovery! Now, instead of tapping, she’s able to sing right along with him. Our love for one another, and our shared connection to music, are such powerful things!
“If that’not an incredible connection, I don’t know what is,” someone in the comments writes, another adding, “Having a son, I know she fought so hard to stay with you. Perhaps it was the music they’d shared for years—childhood songs, car ride tunes—that bound them closer, proving love and tunes break through even the deepest silence. ____19____”
“Lost my mom in September very suddenly. Keep up holding her tight and making memories,” a thoughtful commenter advises. “____20____ Treasure every hug and every laugh—time waits for no one, and those little moments become the biggest treasures.”
A. At one point, his mom was in a coma.
B. Plenty of research has been done on this.
C. Never know how much you miss her till she is gone.
D. Music has the power to heal both the body and the soul.
E. The doctors were amazed by the mother’s rapid recovery.
F. The shared connection to music is a bridge that hope builds on.
G. This sign of hope must have been exactly what he needed at that moment.
【答案】16. A 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. C
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是六合螳螂拳传承人张道锦在西班牙开展功夫交流,西班牙学生热情学习,当地功夫爱好者赴华深造或办学,体现西班牙对融身心锻炼的健康运动的青睐。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:带领他们(练习)的是张道锦,他是源自中国东部山东省的武术流派 —— 六合螳螂拳的传承人。这里考查谓语动词,且此处为倒装句,主语“Zhang Daojin”是单数,且描述过去的情况应用一般过去时,谓语动词需用was。故填was。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:带领他们(练习)的是张道锦,他是源自中国东部山东省的武术流派 —— 六合螳螂拳的传承人。此空考查非谓语,originate与kung fu style之间为主动关系,再由语境可知,应用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填originating。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:张道锦最近在西班牙完成了一个为期两周的文化交流项目,通过讲座和培训课程,与来自西班牙及其他欧洲国家的武术爱好者分享中国功夫。“two-week cultural exchange program”是可数名词单数,这里表泛指应用不定冠词,且two以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:“中国功夫远不止是一种健身方式,它蕴含着丰富的文化和哲学意义,”43岁的教练亚历杭德罗・罗梅罗说,他从15岁开始了自己的武术生涯。空前“a 43-year-old”修饰可数名词单数,需用动词instruct的名词形式instructor,表“教练”,符合语境。故填instructor。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:张道锦说:“西班牙学生热情、勤奋,且能适应不同的文化。”分析句子结构可知, 所填空与“hardworking”、“adaptable”并列作表语,需用名词passion的形容词形式passionate,表“热情的”,符合语境。故填passionate。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有些人为了深化功夫练习,甚至多次到访山东。此处表目的“为了深化练习”,应用动词不定式to deepen作目的状语。故填to deepen。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:随着中国武术在西班牙越来越受欢迎,更多爱好者前往中国接受培训,有些甚至在西班牙创办了武术学校。分析句子结构可知,“前往中国培训”与“在西班牙办学”是并列关系,应用and连接两个分句。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:自2006年接收第一名西班牙学生以来,张道锦已多次前往西班牙,在此期间,他向数千名不同年龄段的学生传授了自己的知识。这里考查“make trips to + 地点”,为固定搭配,意为“前往某地旅行/出行”,符合语境。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:自2006年接收第一名西班牙学生以来,张道锦已多次前往西班牙,在此期间,他向数千名不同年龄段的学生传授了自己的知识。此处考查非限制性定语从句,先行词是several trips,“during which time(在这段时间里)”为固定搭配,which time指代先行词“trips”,which在从句中作time的定语,符合语法结构。故which。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这种日益增长的兴趣反映了西班牙对健康运动的趋势 —— 这类运动将身体健康与心理健康结合起来,因为武术既能强身健体,又能培养情感联结。practice,此处指“运动方式”,是可数名词,根据定语从句“that combine”可知,先行词应用复数形式practices。故填practices。

Dear Alex,

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Alex,
I’m Li Hua, and I wholeheartedly recommend the topic “AI Writing: A Boost or A Drain to Creativity?” for our Critical Thinking Corner.
This topic couldn’t be timelier, as AI-powered writing tools are now widely used in education and professional writing. For example, students often use AI to check essays, while marketers rely on it for copywriting. Discussing this issue enables a balanced exploration. AI can serve as a creative tool, offering fresh ideas and correcting grammar. However, if we depend too much on it, our unique voices may fade, and writing could become formulaic.
It will surely spark intense debate and deepen our understanding of technology’s role in creativity.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
Dear Alex,
I’m Li Hua, and I believe “Short-video Popularity: Enrich or Narrow Cognition?” is the perfect topic for our column.
Short videos have spread through every aspect of our lives. Platforms like TikTok offer rich knowledge on history, science, and culture, making learning engaging. Yet, there’s the other side. Algorithms tend to show us only what we like, trapping us in information circles. As a result, our eyesight may narrow, and we miss out on diverse viewpoints. Analyzing this phenomenon helps us use short-form media more wisely.
I’m convinced it will generate engaging discussions among our peers.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At age fifty, I found myself on a rocky path. I lacked self-confidence. I realized that I had consistently put other people’s needs and expectations ahead of my own. I remember looking in a mirror one rainy afternoon and seeing a person who no longer recalled who she was, what she loved to do, and what she was capable of doing.
Not only did I avoid adventure, but I also held back from pursuing just about anything else I had longed for in my youth. By age fifty, I still hadn’t pursued my interest in art, playing the guitar, and singing. I hadn’t become a forest ranger, geologist, or paleontologist. Instead, I played it safe.
Then a new friend entered my life. He picked up on my soul’s unspoken desires. “How about backpacking for five days in Yosemite National Park?” he asked.
“Sure!” I said, wanting to impress him with who I wanted to be, not who I had become. And then I thought, “Backpacking? I can’t go backpacking! I’m a girl. Backpacking’s dangerous!” Because I liked this guy so much, though, I worked through my fears and trained like mad for a month so I could go backpacking with him. I had never felt so full of self-doubt, but I kept reminding myself: Isn’t this what I always wanted? Isn’t this supposed to be who I am, or who I think I am, or who I claim I am?
For an entire month, I climbed local hills with an increasing number of water bottles in my backpack until it matched in pounds what I had to carry on the trip. My heart pounded out of my chest. My legs trembled and my back ached in as many places. And then the day finally came when my friend took me out with him into the wilderness at Yosemite.
Day One’s hike proved to be the shortest walk, but the biggest reality check. I couldn’t have been more relieved to drop the forty-pound backpack to the ground when we got to a clearing that would serve as our campsite for the night. When my friend reminded me we would take a two-mile satellite hike to the North Dome before dinner, I forced a smile and replied, “Clearly, I haven’t suffered enough today.”
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。
The rest of the trip was struggling.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the adventure my friend loaded my backpack in the car.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
The rest of the trip was struggling. My feet, covered in wounds, ached with every step. Just when we were closing in on the end, a wrong turn stretched the final two miles into five — a steep uphill climb. By the last one mile, my hiking boots had got broken so I had to take them off and walk in my socks slowly, which made me feel significantly better than with the boots. When we finally reached the car and dropped the backpacks to the ground for the last time, I felt an immense weight fall off not only my shoulders, but also my soul. I felt as light as a feather.
After the adventure my friend loaded my backpack in the car. I sank into the passenger seat and pulled out the mirror from the bag behind the front seat. There in the mirror, I saw the reflection of that high mountain I once feared now fading like a beautiful photo flown into the blue sky. And I also saw someone who I hadn’t seen in a while — a more bright-eyed, confident and determined me. I also saw someone full of adventure, gratitude, and newly-found wisdom. And I knew from that moment forward, I’d never lose myself again.

A
Solving the growing plastic waste puzzle
As hard as it is to imagine a time when we weren’t buried in plastics, mass production of synthetic polymers (合成聚合物) didn’t really begin until about 1950. Since then, however, we’ve generated an estimated 8.3 billion tons of the stuff — with about half that total coming since 2000 — and we’ve deserted something like 6.3 billion tons of it.
Unfortunately for the planet only about 9 percent of that plastic waste has ever been recycled. Another 12 percent has been burned, most recently in waste-to-energy facilities. But most of the rest has gone into landfills — or worse, into the environment.
Much of what is done to recover plastic from the waste stream is a purely mechanical process. Once the plastic items have been sorted by polymer type and sent to the recycling workplace, they are simply cut up, washed clean and melted down into pellets (团粒). The pellets are then sold to manufacturers that will incorporate (组合) the material into new products.
Many of the chemical recycling techniques are already quite mature. According to a 2019 report by Closed Loop Partners, a New York-based investment firm that invests in circular economy-related startups, that list includes more than 40 plastics recycling plants that are either operating or scheduled to open within the next few years in the United States and Canada alone. At least some of those plants are expected to incorporate chemical recycling technology.
1. When does plastic waste reach its peak?
A. Before 1950. B. Before 2000.
C. After 2019. D. In recent decades.
2. At which procedure can plastics waste be made into monomers?
A. Plastic manufacturing. B. Oil and gas refining.
C. Chemical recycling. D. Mechanical recycling.
3. What is the sign of successful plastic waste recycling?
A. Plastic waste recycling becomes commercialized.
B. Plastic waste has been made into new plastics.
C. Most of plastic waste has already gone into landfills.

Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident of Western North Carolina, brings a deeply personal camera to cover the destruction of Hurricane Helene. As a graduate of Appalachian State University in Documentary and Appalachian Studies, Barber focuses on capturing (拍摄) rural life in his beloved mountains. However, Helene presented an unexpected challenge.
“The photos of destruction are endless, and are going to continue to be endless,” he said. Barber drove over 1,000 miles in the region over three days last week, to Brevard and beyond, finding the shots, talking with rescue workers and residents. But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm’s destruction and the beginnings of recovery. “I started to feel the outsider in me becomes the insider,” he says.
His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement, he found no gas or food, realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood. At a Marion gas station, he photographed a man whose house was half-destroyed, a pure introduction to the degree of personal loss.
Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots. “I’m trying to experience and listen,” he says, valuing the sense of place and people. While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster. He met tired and hungry residents maintaining positive attitudes, like a Bat Cave-born volunteer firefighter in Chimney Rock who insisted, “We’ll be all right… Things will be a little different but we’ll still be here.”
As national attention shifts, Barber will remain focused on Appalachia. His rapid response during Helene “confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place,” he says, ensuring his choice to live in Morganton over larger art centres. “I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good.”
4. What prepared Barber to cover Hurricane Helene?
A. His studies in big cities. B. His local life experience.
C. Special disaster training. D. Work with national media.
5. What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Limited. B. Enormous. C. Advanced. D. Further.
6. What makes Barber’s photos different from others?
A. Centering on destruction. B. Ignoring people’s suffering.
C. Focusing on people’s spirits. D. Avoiding geological change.
7. What does Barber’s story show?
A. Social responsibilities matter. B. Disaster shots define impact.
C. Big cities offer better growth. D. Teamwork is crucial in media.
C
Electric vehicles (EVs) are cars with engines powered by electricity rather than the internal combustion engines (内燃机) found in gasoline-powered cars.
Across the world, traditional producers are adding EVs to their product lineups, as well as improving battery technology and vehicle range. In many markets, EVs are now cheaper to operate than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, though upfront costs are higher. And EVs are only expected to get cheaper. But do they have any advantages in saving our environment?
In short, yes. A common sense about EVs is that harvesting the elements needed to produce their batteries is more harmful for the environment than building an ICEV (内燃机汽车) is. Despite the higher greenhouse gas emissions (排放) associated with building EVs, their total emissions over the life of the car can be 40% to 60% lower than the emissions of ICEVs, because EVs do not produce any carbon dioxide when driven.
Although the harvesting of rare earth minerals and other elements needed for EV batteries is environmentally harmful, EV batteries can be recycled at the end of their lifetime. For instance, battery recycling company Umicore says it can reclaim 95% of metallic substances such as nickel, copper and cobalt in EV batteries for reuse.
Because EVs tend to be heavier than ICEVs and produce higher torque (扭矩), some have argued that EVs wear through tyres more quickly and produce more particulate matter — a harmful material than gas-powered cars do. A study by researchers at the University of Portsmouth in the U.K. found that tyre breakdown accounted for 28% of the world’s microplastics.
But tyre friction in both ICEVs and EVs produces particulate pollution, and driving style and road quality have bigger impacts on how much pollution is produced, German tyre producer Continental told The Guardian.
Finally, if power plants and car producing plants increasingly use renewable sources of energy, the initial emissions associated with making EVs will approach zero. ICEVs, in comparison, will always release CO2.
8. What is a difference in cost between EVs and ICEVs?
A. ICEVs need cheaper repairs. B. ICEVs save more on fuel.
C. EVs have lower upfront costs. D. EVs have less driving expense.
9. What does the example of Umicore show about EV battery recycling?
A. It recovers more renewable items.
B. It is not yet widely adopted in EVs.
C. It causes new environmental problems.
D. It focuses on non-metallic elements.
10. Why might future EVs be even better for the environment?
A. They will use fewer rare Earth minerals.
B. More industries may use renewable energy.
C. They will become lighter than traditional cars.
D. Tyre technology will stop producing microplastics.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Are EV Batteries Recycled?
B EVs vs ICEVs: Cost Comparison?
C. The Future of Renewable Energy in Cars?
D. More Environmentally Friendly, ICEVs or EVs?
D
The gravitational pull of Mars may be strong enough to stir (搅动) up Earth’s ocean, shifting its sediment (沉淀物) as part of a 2.4-million-year climate cycle, researchers claim.
It has long been accepted that shifts in Earth’s orbit around the sun influence the planet's climate, with these Milankovitch cycles operating on periods measured in thousands of years. Now, Adriana Dutkiewicz at the University of Sydney and her teammates say they have found a 2.4-million-year “Grand Cycle”, which they believe is driven by Mars and has had dramatic impacts on currents in Earth’s oceans for at least 40 million years.
The evidence for this cycle comes from almost 300 deep-sea drill cores that reveal unexpected variation in the ocean sediment. During periods of stable ocean currents, oceanographers expect sediment to settle in steady layers, but unusual currents can see it stored elsewhere.
According to the team, absences or interruptions in the sediment record line up with times when Mars’s gravity puts maximum force on Earth, impacting our planet’s orbital stability. This changes solar radiation levels and climate, resulting in stronger currents in the oceans.
Team member Dietmar Müller, also at the University of Sydney, acknowledges that the distance between Earth and Mars is so vast that it is hard to imagine any significant gravitational force being produced. “But there are so many feedbacks that can reflect changes,” he says. “Mars’s impact on Earth’s climate is similar to a butterfly effect.”
Benjamin Mills at the University of Leeds, UK, says the drill cores provide more evidence for the existence of global environmental change.
“Many of us have seen these multi-million-year cycles in various different geological, geochemical and biological records — including during the famous explosion of animal life in the Cambrian Period,” he says. “This paper helps confirm these ideas as key parts of environmental change.”
12. What evidence supports the 2.4-million-year cycle?
A. Changes in Earth’s orbit.
B. Variation in ocean sediment.
C. Records of solar radiation.
D. Impact on Earth’s gravity.
13. What can we infer about Mars’s gravity?
A. It directly controls Earth’s climate.
B. It has no influence on Earth’s orbit.
C. It slightly weakens Earth’s ocean currents.
D. Its effect on Earth is indirect but significant.
14 What is Dietmar Müller’s attitude towards the research?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.
15. Why does Benjamin Mills mention the Cambrian Period?
A. To question the new finding.
B. To introduce a new theory.
C. To show the cycle’s long history.
D. To explain the butterfly effect.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At age fifty, I found myself on a rocky path. I lacked self-confidence. I realized that I had consistently put other people’s needs and expectations ahead of my own. I remember looking in a mirror one rainy afternoon and seeing a person who no longer recalled who she was, what she loved to do, and what she was capable of doing.
Not only did I avoid adventure, but I also held back from pursuing just about anything else I had longed for in my youth. By age fifty, I still hadn’t pursued my interest in art, playing the guitar, and singing. I hadn’t become a forest ranger, geologist, or paleontologist. Instead, I played it safe.
Then a new friend entered my life. He picked up on my soul’s unspoken desires. “How about backpacking for five days in Yosemite National Park?” he asked.
“Sure!” I said, wanting to impress him with who I wanted to be, not who I had become. And then I thought, “Backpacking? I can’t go backpacking! I’m a girl. Backpacking’s dangerous!” Because I liked this guy so much, though, I worked through my fears and trained like mad for a month so I could go backpacking with him. I had never felt so full of self-doubt, but I kept reminding myself: Isn’t this what I always wanted? Isn’t this supposed to be who I am, or who I think I am, or who I claim I am?
For an entire month, I climbed local hills with an increasing number of water bottles in my backpack until it matched in pounds what I had to carry on the trip. My heart pounded out of my chest. My legs trembled and my back ached in as many places. And then the day finally came when my friend took me out with him into the wilderness at Yosemite.
Day One’s hike proved to be the shortest walk, but the biggest reality check. I couldn’t have been more relieved to drop the forty-pound backpack to the ground when we got to a clearing that would serve as our campsite for the night. When my friend reminded me we would take a two-mile satellite hike to the North Dome before dinner, I forced a smile and replied, “Clearly, I haven’t suffered enough today.”
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。
The rest of the trip was struggling.

After the adventure my friend loaded my backpack in the car.
