A 19-year-old surfer was found in stable condition after being found on a remote island
Australia's New South Wales coast-an outcome his father called a miracle.
Darcy Deefholts left his Wooli home Wednesday afternoon for Woeli beach but failed
return,making his family contact the police.His father,Terry.oosted a public appealo
Facebook that night,stating the family was "fearing for the worst and urging boat owners to Jot
the search.
According to NSW Police,an extensive land,air,and water operation involving multipl
agencies located Darcy safe on Thursday.He was found on North Solitary Island,a rocky natu
reserve approximately 9 miles offshore.
This coastline is popular for surfing,fishing,and diving,though not without risk.Last yea
a missing rock fisherman's body was discovered near another island in the same marine park.
In his emotional Facebook post,Terry described his son taking a cream surfboard to a loo
spot around 4 pm amid small waves,likely wearing dark surf wear."We are overwhelmed
community efforts,"Terry wrote,adding their sole wish was to"find our beloved boy safe."

After spending the night trapped,Darcy was rescued and admitted to Grafton Hospital.A
health district spokesperson confirmed he remains "in good spirits"under observation,supported
by family.The family expressed deep gratitude to emergency services and community members
who mobilized after he failed to return from surfing.
Speaking to the media,an exhausted Terry Deefholts admitted he was "close"to losing hope.
“ht's unreal..I was thinking the absolute worst,”he told the ABC.“Who survives this?It'sa
miracle.”He added to the Daily Telegraph:“T'm on cloud nine.”
Community efforts included a rapidly formed Facebook group,which gained over 100

In the 1990s,teens believed banana peels contained a psychoactive substance that caused
hallucinations()when smoked.Decades later,the same generation now claims that peels
can boost houseplant growth.I set out to discover whether there was any truth to this.
Some argue that they should simply be left to decompose on top of your plant pots.Others
suggest sealing them in jars of water for a few days,then pouring the resulting'tea'on your
plants.A third school of thought involves baking banana peels in a low oven until they tum black,
and then grinding them into a powder to mix into the soil.
德阳市高中2023级第一次诊断考试英语试卷第5页(共12页)
Fertilizers boost growth by providing essential nutrients-itrogen,phosphorus,and
potassium.So,how much of these nutrients do banana peels contain?Studies show peels have
significantly lower levels of these nutents than standard fertilizers.While they contain a certain
amount of potassium (vital for flowers and fruits),their nitrogen levels (crucial for leaves)are
minimal.Since most houseplants are grown for their leaves,banana peels are not ideal,especially
as they are lower in all essential nutrients than commercial plant food.
However,peels are free and eco-friendly.Could these advantages outweigh their limitations?
Turning them into ash can work,but few people have the equipment at home.Soaking them in
water extracts only a tiny portion of minerals,and leaving them to rot in pots is ineffeetive,as
potting mix typically lacks the microbial life needed to convert peel minerals into a usable form
for plants
Theoretically,banana peels could be.used industrially to make fertilizer when combined with
ingredients rich in the nutrients they lack.However,for the home gardener,banana peels are no
more effective as a houseplant fertilizer than they would be as a smoking material-it's a pure
fiction.
28.What is the recent trend involving banana peels?
A.They can do great harm to teens.
B.They can enhance indoor plant growth.
C.They can serve as a natural fertilizer.
D.They can provide nutrients for gardening.
29.Which aspect does the author highlight through the use of banana peels in paragraph 2?
A.Diverse ideas.
B.Obvious strengths.
C.Scientific grounds.
D.Complex techniques.
30.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.Banana peels are as ineffective as commercial plant food.
B.Home gardeners rely on smoking material as plant fertilizer.
C.Industrial processing may make banana peels useful as fertilizer.
D.Nitrogen helps more than banana peels in houseplants'growth.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Don't Starve Your Gardening!
B.Feed Your Plants on a Budget!
C.Believe It or Not?
D.Science or Myth?

Scientists may have found a new energy carrier that could help with our efforts to transition
away from fossil fuels-and it could be hiding in the mountains.Using advanced simulations
()a German research team believes it has found vast reserves of clean hydrogen gas (H2)
produced by rocks that are millions of years old.
德阳市高中2023级第一次诊断考试英语试卷第6页(共12页)
As an energy carrier,H2 is more sustainable than fossil fuels,which release greenhouse
gases and cause climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere.Yet now,our predominant
method of producing H2 is through a synthetic (process that,ironically,requires fossil
fuels.
The impediment to natural H2 extraction()has been the absence of a reserve sufficiently
large to be viable-that is,cost-effective to develop.However,the research team's findings
could change this situation."Overall,we may be at a turning point for natural H2 exploration,"
said Dr Frank Zwaan,one of the team members."As such,we could be witnessing the birth of a
new natural hydrogen industry."
The most promising natural method for large-scale production of H2 is through a geological
process known as 'serpentinization',which refers to how rocks from deep in Earth's mantle (
react with water.Essentially,the minerals in these rocks undergo chemical transformations,
forming new minerals that belong to the serpentine group and releasing H2 gas in the process.
The researchers think that when these rocks are found near Earth's surface,they could create
significant hydrogen-rich zones.To get to the surface,the rocks are 'tectonicallyiexhumed
(构造折返)through more than2,900 km of mantle over millions of years..This process occurs
through two main modes:continents breaking apart (allowing the mantle to rise)and the
formation of mountains (pushing mantle rocks up to the surface).
When researchers modelled the two processes,they found that mountain formation created
the best conditions for serpentinization.In fact,their simulations showed that rocks emerging
through mountain formations promised 20 times more H2 capacity than those pushed to the surface
through continental rifting.
Researchers have already found indications of natural hydrogen generation in mountains
including the Pyrenees,the Alps and the Balkans.
32.What is the problem with fossil fuels according to the text?
A.They are difficult to access.
B.They account for global warming.
C.They are costly for mass production.
D.They lack sources for H2 extraction.
33.What does the underlined word"impediment"in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Major barrier.
B.Baisc method.
C.Unexpected benefit.
D.Key requirement.

34.What's the purpose of paragraph 5?
A.To present the location of rock discovery.
B.To illustrate the principle of mountain formation.
C.To explain the procedure of tectonic exhumation.
D.To describe the creation of hydrogen-rich zones.
35.What is the author's attitude towards natural H2?
A.Doubtful.
B.Hopeful.
C.Neutral.
D.Critical

Many of us find ourselves endlessly scrolling threugh social media,spending an average of
over 2.5 hours on it daily.36 To address these issues,here are the go-to strategies on how
to reset your relationship with social media.
37Begin by'writing a "mission statement"that outlines the positive ways you intend to
use soeial.media-such as staying connected with friends,learning new skills,or carrying out
creative expression-while also setting clear boundaries.Specifically,you,might commit to
"never allowing online interactions to replace real-life connections."Place this statement where
you're most tempted to scroll mindlessly.
Refresh your following list.Regularly evaluate the accounts you follow.Remove those
that bring about negativity or no longer correspond to your interests.Dr.Nina Vasan
advises,"Select your feed to include only content that inspires,educates,or relates.to
your hebhies.”38
Replace scrolling with active hobbies.39Psychologist Joseph Galasso emphasizes the
importance of choosing pursuits that"nourish your mind,emotions,or body"-such as walking,
reading,or learning a new skill.Engaging in hands-on hobbies,like crafting or cooking,can
naturally reduce screen time while providing a sense of accomplishment.
Schedule digital breaks.Integrate regular periods iof disconnection into your routine.For
instance,Tiffany Shlain.found.that weekly 24-hour phone-free.interyals granted her "luxurious
time"and.sparked creativity.40 View them not as a loss but as an opportunity to reclaim
valuable mental space and reconnect with the world around you.
A.Define your purpose clearly and precisely.
B.Track your screen time on a weekly basis regularly.
Make a list of truly fulfilling offline activities in detail.
D.The outcome of acting in that way is determined by your efforts.
E This approach can bring a more positive and meaningful online experience.
F Such benavior can cause negative impacts,such as loneliness and low self-respect.
G:Start with manageable ones,such as a digital-free day each week or a monthly reset.
