(今年，该活动尝试采用 “随心付费”模式。也就是说，你可以在参加完一场活动后，根据个人意愿或支付能力决定付款金额。你可以提前预约活动，无需预先购票。)”以及Introduction to Waves部分中的“Pre-book, PWYD(需预约，随心付费)”可知，Introduction to Waves这场活动采用随心付费模式，参与者可以自主决定付款金额。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Science in the Field部分中的“This storytelling night features a scientist sharing his favourite memories of gathering first-hand data on various field trips. Come along for inspiring and informative stories straight from the scientist's mouth. Join Mark Samuels to find out more in this fun-filled workshop.( 这场科普故事之夜将邀请一位科学家，分享他在各类实地考察中收集一手数据的珍贵回忆。快来聆听这位科学家亲口讲述的、兼具启发性与知识性的趣味故事吧。加入Mark Samuels的趣味工坊，探索更多精彩内容。)”可知，这场活动中Mark Samuels会分享自己在实地考察中收集一手数据的经历。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章Walk on the Wild Side部分中的“Join storyteller Sarah Law to hear science stories about animals.

Packaged slime (黏土) in a variety of colors and pleasant smells lines one wall of the living room, and, in the designated “slime room” workspace in the back, bottles of fragrance oil are arranged in rows, next to glue and an industrial-size kitchen mixer. But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’ house that shocks people, she said. It’s that her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha Zumwalt, is in charge of their enterprise (企业). The mother-daughter team runs Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. Samantha’s slime, offered in a rainbow of colors and a range of textures (质地), is in high demand. Since she started her business, she’s made more than 24,000 sales on Etsy. The customers are generally young — between 9 and 12 years old, Burks said, though some adults and teens buy slime, too. Some customers buy Samantha’s slime because they say playing with it is calming. Others want it because it gives them something to do with their hands. Last year, Nichole Jacklyne, a social media blogger, who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds of thousands of followers, reviewed Samantha’s product in a video. After Jacklyne’s video, orders poured into Samantha’s shop, Burks said. However, Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to the girl’s slime ambitions. It took months for Samantha to convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime. “I told her no for months,” Burks said. Finally, Burks gave in. She had been laid off from her job as an accountant, and the two dove into the slime business. Now, Burks is proud of Samantha for running the slime business, “I hope she can meet all of her business goals — whether that’s still running the slime enterprise, or buying another business out, or starting a new business,” she said. “Whatever her dreams are... is where I want her to be.” 4. Why does the author specifically describe Jessica Burks’ home in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the amount of slime there. B. To introduce Samantha’s slime business. C. To present how special her home is. D. To show the business opportunities of slime. 5. What do we know about Samantha’s slime from the text? A. It only wins popularity with kids. B. Social media contributes greatly to its sales. C. All adults buy it just for recreation. D. It helps Samantha get more followers on the Internet. 6. How does Jessica Burks’ attitude to Samantha’s slime business change? A. Disapproving→Supportive B. Doubtful→Objective. C. Worried→Favorable. D. Negative→Cautious. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. Playing with slime puts people at ease. B. Samantha promotes her slime online. C. Samantha’s slime business is a success. D. Jessica Burks quits to run her slime business. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了15岁女孩Samantha Zumwalt和母亲Jessica Burks一起经营黏土生意，并且取得了成功的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Jessica Burks’ home is full of opportunities. Packaged slime (黏土) in a variety of colors and pleasant smells lines one wall of the living room, and, in the designated “slime room” workspace in the back, bottles of fragrance oil are arranged in rows, next to glue and an industrial-size kitchen mixer. (Jessica Burks的家中充满了各种可能。客厅的一面墙上整齐排列着包装好的、颜色各异且散发着宜人气味的黏土，而在后面那个专门的“黏土工作室”里，一排排香精油瓶子旁边放着胶水和一个工业级别的厨房搅拌器)”以及第二段中“But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’ house that shocks people, she said. It’s that her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha Zumwalt, is in charge of their enterprise (企业). The mother-daughter team runs Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. (但她说，让人们感到震惊的并非Burks家的黏土数量。令人震惊的是，她15岁的女儿Samantha Zumwalt是她们企业的负责人。这对母女在家经营着“Samantha黏土店”，产品的需求量帮助她们每年赚取六位数的收入)”可推知，作者在第一段详细描述Jessica Burks的家中摆满黏土材料和制作工具的场景是为了引出第二段“Samantha的黏土生意”这一核心内容。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Last year, Nichole Jacklyne, a social media blogger, who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds of thousands of followers, reviewed Samantha’s product in a video. After Jacklyne’s video, orders poured into Samantha’s shop, Burks said. (Burks说，去年，社交媒体博主Nichole Jacklyne专门测评黏土产品，还为自己数十万粉丝提供手工制作教程。去年，她在一个视频中测评了Samantha的产品。视频发布后，大量订单涌入了Samantha的店铺)”可知，社交媒体对Samantha的黏土销量起到了极大的推动作用。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to the girl’s slime ambitions. It took months for Samantha to convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime. “I told her no for months,” Burks said. Finally, Burks gave in. (然而，Samantha的妈妈最初对这个女孩的黏土事业持抵制态度。Samantha花了好几个月才说服妈妈购买制作黏土的关键材料。Burks说：“我拒绝了她好几个月。”最后，Burks妥协了)”以及“Now, Burks is proud of Samantha for running the slime business(现在，Burks为Samantha经营黏土生意感到骄傲)”可推知，Jessica Burks对女儿Samantha的黏土生意的态度从最初的不赞成转变为后来的支持。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“The mother-daughter team runs Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. Samantha’s slime, offered in a rainbow of colors and a range of textures (质地), is in high demand. (这对母女在家经营着Samantha黏土店，产品的需求量帮助她们每年赚取六位数的收入。Samantha的黏土颜色丰富多彩，质地各异，需求量很大)”可知，文章主要讲述了15岁女孩Samantha Zumwalt和母亲一起经营黏土生意，并且取得了成功的故事。因此，“Samantha’s slime business is a success (Samantha的黏土生意很成功)”准确概括了文章的中心主旨。故选C项。 C Almost none of us have the time to read everything we’d like to read. Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection? Founded in 2022,iReader, a micro-learning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio (音频) and text.

There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of e-books and audio books. The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with relevant examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述2022年推出的微学习应用iReader，将畅销书核心内容浓缩为15分钟的音频和文本，助用户利用碎片时间高效学习。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection? (要是我们能把这些零散的闲暇时间，变成宝贵且有意义的学习与思考时刻，会怎么样呢？)”可知，作者建议人们在空闲时间进行阅读和思考。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“According to the Pew Research Center (PRC), the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven't read a single paper book this year, but reading isn't dying. There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of e-books and audio books. (皮尤研究中心的数据显示，英国人每年只读4本纸质书，超过25%的人今年一本纸质书都没读，但阅读并未消亡。由于电子书和有声书的普及，英国人如今的阅读方式比以往任何时候都要多。)”可知，新型书籍形式正在改变英国人的阅读方式。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with relevant examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them. (iReader中的书籍经过改写，确保用户容易记住核心内容。内容的编辑方式经过专门设计，保证其实用性。此外，内容还融入了相关的现实案例，这让用户更有可能记住并运用那些对自己有帮助的知识。)”可知，iReader通过让内容具备实用性来使其更易被记住。故选A项。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段德国联合创始人Holger Seim的表述“iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little, packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes. (iReader能在最短时间内为你呈现书中的核心观点。它将宏大的思想浓缩成小篇幅内容，你只需15分钟就能收听或阅读完毕。)”并结合全文对这款微学习APP的介绍可知，文章讲述2022年推出的微学习应用iReader，将畅销书核心内容浓缩为15分钟音视频，助用户利用碎片时间高效学习。所以C项iReader: Big Ideas in Small Packages(iReader：小包装中的大创意)最能概括文章主旨。故选C项。 D A 23-year-old British woman has invented a product that she hopes will one day take the place of single-use plastic. The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae (藻类). Lucy Hughes created the material, called MarinaTex, for her final year project at the University of Sussex. She continued her research after she left the university. On November 13, the James Dyson Foundation announced that Hughes was the international winner of the 2019 James Dyson Award for design. MarinaTex is edible, meaning it can be eaten without danger. Hughes says it also is strong and stable. But unlike plastic, MarinaTex breaks down in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil. The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters. She noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by the year 2050. The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the oceans. Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry. The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year, UN officials say. Hughes told Reuters that she was “trying to work out how I could use the waste stream and add value to that waste.” Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did not harm the environment. To create a strong material, Hughes added the molecule chatoyant (猫眼石), which comes from sea creatures like crabs, and agar, a material from red algae. After months of testing, Hughes produced a strong, flexible sheet that forms at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is “stronger, safer and much more sustainable” than the plastic polyethylene (聚乙烯). It is also easier to break down than other possible replacement products for polyethylene, the material that single-use plastic bags are made of. Hughes will receive about $41,000 in prize money as the first place winner of the James Dyson Award. She told Reuters that she plans to use the money to better develop the product and ways to mass produce it. 12. When did Lucy Hughes create MarinaTex? A. After graduation. B. At university. C. Before going to university. D. After winning the James Dyson Award. 13. What’s true about MarinaTex? A. It is environmentally friendly. B. It is delicious and cheap. C. It is a type of plastics. D. It exists for a long time in nature. 14. What helped to give her the idea for MarinaTex? A. Observing the process of fishing. B. Studying different parts of a fish. C. Examining left-over fish parts after cooking. D. Checking waste from the fishing industry 15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Technology. D. Lifestyle. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了23岁的英国女性发明了一种有望取代一次性塑料的环保产品。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lucy Hughes created the material, called MarinaTex, for her final year project at the University of Sussex.(Lucy Hughes在Sussex大学完成最后一年的学业时，创造了这种名为“MarinaTex”的材料。)”可知，Lucy Hughes在上大学时创造了MarinaTex。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But unlike plastic, MarinaTex breaks down in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil.(但与塑料不同，MarinaTex在正常条件下四到六周就能分解，且不会污染土壤。)”可知，与塑料不同的是，MarinaTex在正常情况下会在4到6周内分解，不会污染土壤，由此可知，MarinaTex是环保的，故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did not harm the environment.(检查鱼类加工后剩余的部分，帮助她产生了发明一种既实用又不会危害环境的材料的想法。)”可知，检查渔业废料让Lucy Hughes产生了发明MarinaTex的想法，故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“A 23-year-old British woman has invented a product that she hopes will one day take the place of single-use plastic.(一位23岁的英国女性发明了一种产品，她希望有朝一日该产品能取代一次性塑料制品。)”可知，本文主要介绍了23岁的英国女性发明了一种有望取代一次性塑料的环保产品，这属于技术范畴，因此文章最有可能出现在报纸的技术版块，故选C。 第二节：(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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 Deal with a Roommate Who Is Inconsiderate Does your roommate borrow your stuff without asking, or leave dirty dishes in the sink for weeks? ____16____, but don’t worry — by having an open, honest talk with him/her, you can find a solution and make your house a home again.

(但别担心，通过与他/她坦诚交谈，你可以找到解决方案，让你的房子重新成为家。)”可知，上下文是转折关系，提出面对和室友相处的不愉快经历时，是有解决办法的。选项G“和一位不体谅他人的室友生活在一起可能让你感到沮丧”和上下文意思一致。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It might seem easier to ignore your roommate’s problems for now.

Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack. Mr. Taylor was fond of hiking, this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel. Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term. It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely, he whispered to himself unconsciously a smile spreading over his face. Harry and Joel, however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes. Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray（喷雾防虫剂）.Harry told Joel he smelled terrible. Joel called Harry a coward（懦夫）. “Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together?” their father said. "You’re missing all of the beautiful scenery!" It was true. Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip. They hadn’t looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead. Worst of all, they hadn’t paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument. “Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed. "That’s not true!” Joel shouted back. Mr. Taylor could no longer contain his anger. "And both of you need to stop arguing!" he erupted. As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path, Harry and Joel raced to their father’s assistance. They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land. Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Just calm down." Mr. Taylor shouted, "Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way. " ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1 But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. Harry and Joel waded back into the river. Twigs and leaves swirled around their ankles before floating away on the current. No glasses! Hairy thought they might have been swept downstream, without which Mr. Taylor couldn’t see. Everything was a blur to him now. How could they get home? “Oh great! Now we’re lost,” groaned Joel,"and it might be days before someone finds us.” "No thanks to you.” Harry blamed. Para 2 "Just calm down." Mr. Taylor shouted, "Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way." Mr. Taylor fumbled in his backpack and pulled the map and the compass out. Luckily, Joel learned how to read a map from his books, and Harry knew how to use a compass from his hiking club. They stopped arguing, looked down at the map, so that they searched for the river and used the compass to find the direction. In relief, Mr. Taylor beamed proudly, "You two will save the day. You’re pretty good hiking partners!” 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开。主要讲的是Taylor先生第一次和两个儿子Harry和Joel一起徒步旅行。然而，Harry和Joel为徒步旅行的前三英里而争吵。结果后来惹得Taylor先生生气了，他的左脚被树根缠住了，在泥泞的河岸上滑来滑去，掉进了路旁的河里。两个儿子前去帮助父亲，还好浑身湿透的父亲发现自己只是受了点轻伤。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但他掉进水里的时候眼镜掉了。”可知，第一段可描写两个孩子一起帮助Taylor先生在水里找眼镜，在找寻无结果的情况下，两个孩子又相互埋怨。 ②由第二段首句内容““冷静点。”Taylor先生喊道，“没有我的眼镜，我们需要一起找到出路””可知，第二段可描写Taylor先生在背包里找到了地图和指南针，两个孩子利用他们之前学过的使用知识，利用地图和指南针找到了出路。 2.续写线索： 掉进水里——寻找眼镜——埋怨——让孩子们冷静——找到指南针和地图——使用地图和指南针——找到出路——赞扬 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：search for/look for ②抱怨：complain/grumble/murmur at ③摸索：grope/feel about/try to find out ④使用：make use of/apply ⑤赞扬：praise/compliment/speak highly of 情绪类 ①生气的：annoyed/angry ②高兴的：pleased/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] Harry thought they might have been swept downstream, without which Mr. Taylor couldn’t see. （运用“介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句。） [高分句型2] They stopped arguing and looked down at the map, so that they could search for the river and used the compass to find the direction. （运用so that引导目的状语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石家庄市第二十四中学 2025-2026学年度第一学期期中考试高二英语试题 本试卷有四部分组成。其中第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题。第三部分的第二部分和第四部分为非选择题。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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。 1.

Packaged slime (黏土) in a variety of colors and pleasant smells lines one wall of the living room, and, in the designated “slime room” workspace in the back, bottles of fragrance oil are arranged in rows, next to glue and an industrial-size kitchen mixer. But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’ house that shocks people, she said. It’s that her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha Zumwalt, is in charge of their enterprise (企业). The mother-daughter team runs Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. Samantha’s slime, offered in a rainbow of colors and a range of textures (质地), is in high demand. Since she started her business, she’s made more than 24,000 sales on Etsy. The customers are generally young — between 9 and 12 years old, Burks said, though some adults and teens buy slime, too. Some customers buy Samantha’s slime because they say playing with it is calming. Others want it because it gives them something to do with their hands. Last year, Nichole Jacklyne, a social media blogger, who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds of thousands of followers, reviewed Samantha’s product in a video. After Jacklyne’s video, orders poured into Samantha’s shop, Burks said. However, Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to the girl’s slime ambitions. It took months for Samantha to convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime. “I told her no for months,” Burks said. Finally, Burks gave in. She had been laid off from her job as an accountant, and the two dove into the slime business. Now, Burks is proud of Samantha for running the slime business, “I hope she can meet all of her business goals — whether that’s still running the slime enterprise, or buying another business out, or starting a new business,” she said. “Whatever her dreams are... is where I want her to be.” 4. Why does the author specifically describe Jessica Burks’ home in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the amount of slime there. B. To introduce Samantha’s slime business. C. To present how special her home is. D. To show the business opportunities of slime. 5 What do we know about Samantha’s slime from the text? A. It only wins popularity with kids. B. Social media contributes greatly to its sales. C. All adults buy it just for recreation. D. It helps Samantha get more followers on the Internet. 6. How does Jessica Burks’ attitude to Samantha’s slime business change? A. Disapproving→Supportive B. Doubtful→Objective. C. Worried→Favorable. D. Negative→Cautious. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. Playing with slime puts people at ease. B. Samantha promotes her slime online. C. Samantha’s slime business is a success. D. Jessica Burks quits to run her slime business. C Almost none of us have the time to read everything we’d like to read. Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection? Founded in 2022,iReader, a micro-learning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio (音频) and text. So far, more than 3,000 books have been included, ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economics, with new titles added every day. iReader is pioneering a new method of reading, with over 9 million users enjoying the benefits already. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC), the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven’t read a single paper book this year, but reading isn’t dying. There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of e-books and audio books. The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with relevant examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them. Holger Seim, German co-founder of this app, declares,“iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little, packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes.” 8. What does the author suggest people do in the unoccupied time? A. Write and share B. Read and think. C. Avoid taking buses. D. Bring joy to daily routines. 9. What can we infer from the PRC findings? A. The British benefit a lot from reading. B. Reading methods are more important than before. C. Digital technology is taking the place of paper books. D. New forms of books are changing the way the British read. 10. How does iReader make the content easy to remember? A. By making it useful. B. By bringing fun to it. C. By using artistic designs. D. By taking users as examples. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. iReader Prevents Reading from Dying B. iReader Unites Worldwide Book-lovers C. iReader: Big Ideas in Small Packages D. iReader: The Best New App Creation D A 23-year-old British woman has invented a product that she hopes will one day take the place of single-use plastic. The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae (藻类). Lucy Hughes created the material, called MarinaTex, for her final year project at the University of Sussex. She continued her research after she left the university. On November 13, the James Dyson Foundation announced that Hughes was the international winner of the 2019 James Dyson Award for design. MarinaTex is edible, meaning it can be eaten without danger. Hughes says it also is strong and stable. But unlike plastic, MarinaTex breaks down in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil. The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters. She noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by the year 2050. The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the oceans. Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry. The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year, UN officials say. Hughes told Reuters that she was “trying to work out how I could use the waste stream and add value to that waste.” Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did not harm the environment. To create a strong material, Hughes added the molecule chatoyant (猫眼石), which comes from sea creatures like crabs, and agar, a material from red algae. After months of testing, Hughes produced a strong, flexible sheet that forms at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is “stronger, safer and much more sustainable” than the plastic polyethylene (聚乙烯). It is also easier to break down than other possible replacement products for polyethylene, the material that single-use plastic bags are made of. Hughes will receive about $41,000 in prize money as the first place winner of the James Dyson Award. She told Reuters that she plans to use the money to better develop the product and ways to mass produce it. 12. When did Lucy Hughes create MarinaTex? A. After graduation. B. At university. C. Before going to university. D. After winning the James Dyson Award. 13. What’s true about MarinaTex? A. It is environmentally friendly. B. It is delicious and cheap. C. It is a type of plastics. D.

Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack. Mr. Taylor was fond of hiking, this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel. Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term. It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely, he whispered to himself unconsciously a smile spreading over his face. Harry and Joel, however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes. Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray（喷雾防虫剂）.Harry told Joel he smelled terrible. Joel called Harry a coward（懦夫）. “Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together?” their father said. "You’re missing all of the beautiful scenery!" It was true. Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip. They hadn’t looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead. Worst of all they hadn’t paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument. “Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed. "That’s not true!” Joel shouted back. Mr. Taylor could no longer contain his anger. "And both of you need to stop arguing!" he erupted. As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path, Harry and Joel raced to their father’s assistance. They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land. Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Just calm down."
