Among these innovations, edible plastic—made from natural materials like seaweed, starch, and fruit peels—has become a hot topic. This amazing invention not only looks and feels like traditional plastic but also breaks down easily in nature or can even be eaten without harming human health. The idea of edible plastic is not entirely new, but recent technological improvements have made it more practical for daily use. For example, a team of researchers in Indonesia developed edible food packaging that can keep snacks fresh for weeks. Unlike plastic bags that take hundreds of years to decompose, this packaging dissolves in water in just a few minutes or can be consumed as a harmless snack. Another company in the United States created edible straws that replace single-use plastic straws, helping to reduce the millions of straws that end up in oceans every year. Inventors believe that edible plastic could revolutionize the way we use plastic products and protect the planet. However, there are still challenges to overcome, such as making the product cheaper and more durable. Despite these difficulties, the passion and creativity of inventors continue to drive progress. As one scientist said, “Invention is not just about creating something new—it’s about solving problems and making the world a better place.” With more efforts, edible plastic may soon become a common part of our daily lives, turning a big environmental problem into a creative solution. 【中文翻译】 近年来，随着全球面临严重的塑料污染问题，科学家和发明家们正竞相研发环保替代品。在这些创新成果中，可食用塑料 —— 由海藻、淀粉、果皮等天然材料制成 —— 已成为热门话题。这项神奇的发明不仅外观和触感与传统塑料相似，还能在自然界中轻松降解，甚至可以食用，且不会对人体健康造成危害。 可食用塑料的理念并非全新，但近期的技术改进使其更适用于日常生活。例如，印度尼西亚的一组研究人员研发出了可食用食品包装，能让零食保持新鲜数周。与需要数百年才能分解的塑料袋不同，这种包装在水中只需几分钟就能溶解，或可作为无害零食食用。美国的另一家公司则制造出了可食用吸管，替代一次性塑料吸管，助力减少每年流入海洋的数百万根吸管。 发明家们认为，可食用塑料可能会彻底改变我们使用塑料制品的方式，并保护地球。然而，仍有一些挑战需要克服，例如降低产品成本、提高耐用性等。尽管存在这些困难，发明家们的热情和创造力仍在推动着进步。正如一位科学家所说：“发明不仅仅是创造新事物 —— 更是解决问题、让世界变得更美好的过程。” 随着更多的努力，可食用塑料或许很快会成为我们日常生活中常见的一部分，将一个严重的环境问题转化为富有创意的解决方案。 【长难句分析】 1.“Among these innovations, edible plastic—made from natural materials like seaweed, starch, and fruit peels—has become a hot topic.” 翻译：在这些创新成果中，可食用塑料 —— 由海藻、淀粉、果皮等天然材料制成 —— 已成为热门话题。 重点：“Among these innovations” 作状语，限定范围；“made from...fruit peels” 为过去分词短语作后置定语，解释可食用塑料的原料；破折号起到补充说明的作用，符合英文表达习惯。 2.“Unlike plastic bags that take hundreds of years to decompose, this packaging dissolves in water in just a few minutes or can be consumed as a harmless snack.” 翻译：与需要数百年才能分解的塑料袋不同，这种包装在水中只需几分钟就能溶解，或可作为无害零食食用。 重点：“Unlike” 引导比较状语，对比可食用包装与传统塑料袋；“that take hundreds of years to decompose” 为定语从句，修饰 “plastic bags”；句子包含 “dissolves” 和 “can be consumed” 两个并列谓语，体现包装的两种特性。 3.“Inventors believe that edible plastic could revolutionize the way we use plastic products and protect the planet.” 翻译：发明家们认为，可食用塑料可能会彻底改变我们使用塑料制品的方式，并保护地球。 重点：“that” 引导宾语从句，作 “believe” 的宾语；从句中 “revolutionize” 后接两个并列宾语 “the way we use plastic products” 和 “protect the planet”（第二个宾语前省略了 “revolutionize”，避免重复）；“we use plastic products” 为定语从句，修饰 “the way”，省略了关系词 “that/which”。 【重难词汇梳理】 词汇 词性 汉语翻译 eco-friendly adj. 环保的；生态友好的 alternative n. 替代品；可供选择的事物 innovation n. 创新；发明 edible adj. 可食用的 starch n. 淀粉 decompose v. 分解；腐烂 dissolve v. 溶解；消散 consume v. 食用；消耗 revolutionize v. 彻底改变；使革命化 durable adj. 耐用的；持久的 pollution n. 污染 practical adj. 实用的；实际的 single-use adj. 一次性的 planet n. 地球；行星 solution n. 解决方案 真题示例 实战演练 Passage1 （2025·重庆市中考） Li Liang has always been interested in science since childhood.

She is known for using science and technology 1 (work) out real-world problems. At 10, she learned that the city’s water was polluted by lead (铅). Feeling worried, she thought about 2 she could do to help. She wanted to create a faster and 3 (easy) way to test water. This led her to invent Tethys, a tool to warn people and send 4 (result) to a smartphone app. In 2017, she won the prize in Young Scientist Challenge for 5 (invent) Tethys. She worked with scientists to develop the idea. She also developed Kindly, 6 AI-powered app that looks for bullying (霸凌) online and suggests kinder word choices 7 (proper). Rao has worked with the government to provide the app to people 8 free. With her help, online bullying has been under control. 9 she was only a 15-year-old student, Time magazine named her “Kid of the Year” for her work in 2020. Since 2017, Rao 10 (share) her love for science around the world. She encourages young people, “Anyone can use science to change the world.” Passage3 In some movies, you might see cars that can drive by themselves—you tell them where you want to go, and they take you there as fast as possible. Baidu’s robotaxi turned people’s dreams into the real world. Baidu’s robotaxi is a self-driving ride service. Robotaxi tests run with people in 11 cities across China and many people talk about it on the Internet these days. Baidu’s robotaxi has the same number of seats as a traditional taxi. It becomes popular because of its low price. After Mr. Liu experienced it, he said he only paid 5.1 yuan for a 12-kilometer ride. Instead, he would have to pay 29 yuan for a traditional taxi. Some people also like it because there’s no driver. This makes the ride very quiet and comfortable for them. As more driverless (无人驾驶的) taxis appear in cities, people start to worry. Taxi drivers feel like it’s similar to when cars took the place of horse-drawn carriages (马车). They are afraid of losing their jobs because more people would choose robotaxi when they go out. An expert said that driverless cars won’t be a big problem for traditional taxis right now, because many people just want to try this new technology (技术). There are still a lot of traditional taxis on the road, and self-driving taxi won’t have a serious influence (影响) on the job market (市场) in the short term. 1．Why do some people like Baidu’s robotaxi better? A．It has more seats. B．It’s bigger and more comfortable. C．It’s cheaper and gives people a quiet space. D．It runs faster and cheaper. 2．What does the underlined word “this” probably refer to? A．The robotaxi tests run in 11 cities. B．People spend less money. C．It’s similar to horse-drawn carriages. D．There’s no driver in the robotaxi. 3．What do taxi drivers worry about? A．They will have to learn new technology. B．There will be fewer people choosing traditional taxis. C．They will have less free time. D．They will have to lower (降低) their price. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Baidu’s robotaxi is popular with traditional taxi drivers. B．Baidu’s robotaxi will become popular across the world quickly. C．Baidu’s robotaxi will soon take the place of the traditional taxi. D．Baidu’s robotaxi is a new technology for people to try. 5．What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? A．How does Baidu’s robotaxi work? B．Why is Baidu’s robotaxi so popular? C．What Baidu’s robotaxi is and what influence it has? D．What are the differences between the robotaxi and the traditional taxi? Passage4 ①Drones (无人机) are a kind of machine that can fly. They’re becoming more and more popular. People usually use a computer to control (控制) this flying machine. Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change (改变) our life as much as the computer does. ②In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops (庄稼) . Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers to find out if (是否) the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm medicines. This can help the environment and save much money. ③Drones can also help to find lost people. If people are lost, who are far from home, police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the forest. The police looked for him all night. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police. ④What’s more, drones can even serve people coffee. US company (公司) IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device (设备) under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee. The drone can also predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee. 1．In Paragraph 1, the writer tells us the uses of drones by ________. A．giving examples B．listing numbers C．answering questions D．using famous sayings 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Drones are more useful than computers.

D．The coffee. 4．Which one is the right structure (结构) of the passage? A．①/②③/④ B．①/②/③④ C．①/②③④ D．①②③/④ 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Drones can watch the crops. B．Drones can save much money. C．Drones can serve people coffee. D．Drones have many uses. Passage5 Picture this in your mind: You’ve just answered nature’s call, and to your horror, there’s no toilet paper in the bathroom. What will you do? Long ago, people used 1 things after using the toilet. For example, the Romans used a sponge (海绵) on a stick in salt water. Can you imagine this? It might feel like a 2 today. It is said that the earliest recorded toilet paper dates back to ancient China, and in 1391, the Ming emperor used large sheets with flowers’ smell. Later, people reused old newspapers 3 printing became more common. In 1857, Joseph Gayetty sold flat paper in the U.S., but people didn’t like it. The toilet paper 4 truly started in 1897 when the Scott brothers sold toilet paper in rolls. In 1942, during World War Ⅱ, an English company 5 two-layer paper—soft and strong. Decades later, colorful paper with nice smells came into being, along with some fun paper. 6 cleaning, the fun paper had puzzles or even novels printed on it (like in Japan)! From smelly sponges to story paper, toilet paper’s story is interesting and amazing! 1．A．strange B．convenient C．severe D．useless 2．A．condition B．development C．punishment D．progress 3．A．before B．after C．though D．while 4．A．factory B．industry C．network D．community 5．A．grew B．deepened C．concluded D．developed 6．A．Besides B．Except C．Without D．By Passage6 Scientists Create World’s Tiniest Violin Scientists from the UK have created “the world’s smallest violin”. The violin is so tiny that it can only be seen with a powerful microscope. The researchers wondered if they could use a new kind of nanotechnology (纳米技术) to test the limits of how small a violin could actually be created. The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide. A micron is one millionth of a meter. This means that the violin is even thinner than a human hair. The “nano-violin” wasn’t designed to be played. So what was the point? Physics professor Kelly Morrison, who led the project, says that “At first, we were just curious about how small a violin could be,” but the work they finally did is actually very important and creative for their research. In recent decades, computers and other technology have become faster as the parts inside of devices have become smaller. Building and studying extremely small things will help the scientists develop and test new ideas and materials for making things even smaller. The whole process of making the violin took about three hours. But it took the researchers several months to develop the methods they used to create it. Now that they’ve made the nano-violin, the researchers plan to use their system to study more serious things. For example, they’re looking at new ways to store information, and how to use heat to make computers work faster and use less energy. Task1: Answer the questions. 1．How can the tiny violin be seen? 2．What is the size(尺寸)of the tiny violin? 3．Why did scientists build and study extremely small things? 4．How long did the whole process of making the tiny violin take? 5．What do the researchers plan to do after they’ve made the nano-violin? Task 2: 6．Tiny things like nanobots (纳米机器人) are very useful in our daily life. What can we use nanobots to do? Write about 30 words to explain. $Unit2 Great inventions and discoveries 发明与创造 话题阅读精练 版块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 A Green Invention 阅读理解 说明文 约 260 介绍可食用塑料的原料、特性、应用案例、发展挑战及前景 真题示例 Passage1 完形填空 记叙文 - 讲述李亮从对科学感兴趣的小孩，通过发明检测食品安全的工具，成长为激励他人的大学生 模拟演练 Passage1 语法选择 记叙文 约 180 16 岁高中生 Emily Thompson 发明 SafeRide 头盔，借助传感器、GPS 等功能保障骑行安全，激励更多年轻人创新 Passage2 短文填空 记叙文 约 190 美国发明家 Gitanjali Rao 利用科技解决现实问题，发明水质检测工具 Tethys 和反霸凌应用 Kindly，获《时代》“年度儿童” 称号 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 约 220 介绍百度无人驾驶出租车的特点、低价舒适的优势，以及对传统出租车行业的潜在影响和短期内的市场现状 Passage4 完形填空 说明文 约 180 讲述厕纸的发展历程，从古代罗马人的海绵工具、中国古代的厕纸，到现代卷筒纸、双层纸及趣味厕纸的演变 Passage5 任务型阅读 说明文 约 200 英国科学家利用纳米技术制造出世界最小小提琴，虽无法演奏，但对研发更小器件的新技术、新材料具有重要意义 Passage6 任务型阅读 说明文 - 英国科学家利用纳米技术制造世界最小小提琴，介绍其尺寸、制作耗时、研究意义及后续研究计划 时文阅读 The Rise of Edible Plastic: A Green Invention 可食用塑料的兴起：一项绿色发明 In recent years, as the world faces serious plastic pollution, scientists and inventors have been racing to create eco-friendly alternatives.

The violin is so tiny that it can only be seen with a powerful microscope. The researchers wondered if they could use a new kind of nanotechnology (纳米技术) to test the limits of how small a violin could actually be created. The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide. A micron is one millionth of a meter. This means that the violin is even thinner than a human hair. The “nano-violin” wasn’t designed to be played. So what was the point? Physics professor Kelly Morrison, who led the project, says that “At first, we were just curious about how small a violin could be,” but the work they finally did is actually very important and creative for their research. In recent decades, computers and other technology have become faster as the parts inside of devices have become smaller. Building and studying extremely small things will help the scientists develop and test new ideas and materials for making things even smaller. The whole process of making the violin took about three hours. But it took the researchers several months to develop the methods they used to create it. Now that they’ve made the nano-violin, the researchers plan to use their system to study more serious things. For example, they’re looking at new ways to store information, and how to use heat to make computers work faster and use less energy. Task1: Answer the questions. 1．How can the tiny violin be seen? 2．What is the size(尺寸)of the tiny violin? 3．Why did scientists build and study extremely small things? 4．How long did the whole process of making the tiny violin take? 5．What do the researchers plan to do after they’ve made the nano-violin? Task 2: 6．Tiny things like nanobots (纳米机器人) are very useful in our daily life. What can we use nanobots to do? Write about 30 words to explain. 【答案】1．It can only be seen with a powerful microscope. 2．It measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide. 3．It will help the scientists develop and test new ideas and materials for making things even smaller. 4．It took about three hours. 5．They plan to use their system to study more serious things. 6．We can use it to fix small phone parts and make phones work longer/check food safety /clean dirty water to make it clean. 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，英国科学家利用纳米技术制造出世界上最小的小提琴，其制作虽耗时短但方法研发耗时久，这项研究不仅源于好奇，更有助于相关技术创新，后续还将用于更重要的研究。 1．根据“The violin is so tiny that it can only be seen with a powerful microscope.”可知，这把小提琴非常小，只能用高倍显微镜才能看到。故填It can only be seen with a powerful microscope. 2．根据“The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide.”可知，这把小提琴长35微米、宽13微米。故填It measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide. 3．根据“Building and studying extremely small things will help the scientists develop and test new ideas and materials for making things even smaller.”可知，制造和研究极小的东西能帮助科学家开发和测试新想法与材料。故填It will help the scientists develop and test new ideas and materials for making things even smaller. 4．根据“The whole process of making the violin took about three hours.”可知，制作这把小提琴的整个过程大约花了三个小时。故填It took about three hours. 5．根据“Now that they’ve made the nano-violin, the researchers plan to use their system to study more serious things.”可知，研究人员计划用他们的系统研究更重要的事情。故填They plan to use their system to study more serious things. 6．开放性试题，答案合理即可。故填We can use it to fix small phone parts and make phones work longer/check food safety /clean dirty water to make it clean. $
