Around the world, kids are using imagination in ways that were once only found in science fiction. Take the story of Mark Lee. He loved biking around his neighbourhood but grew upset seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks. Instead of simply complaining, he decided to do something about it. Using an old 3D printer, Mark started experimenting. He melted (熔化) plastic bottles down and tried shaping them into small bricks. At first, everything went wrong — the plastic broke, the printer jammed, and the pieces didn’t fit together. Friends laughed a little, and even Mark’s parents thought he should just give up. But Mark had a different idea. He redesigned the bricks to lock together like puzzle (拼图) pieces and adjusted the heating temperature carefully. After months of trial and error, he succeeded. With a little help from his school and the local community centre, Mark used his bricks to build a small bike shelter for his neighbourhood. And he’s not alone. Thirteen-year-old Sally Carter loved reading fantasy books. Inspired by magical maps in her stories, she wondered: what if we could build a real-world app that helps people explore hidden places in their own cities? She gathered friends, learned some basic programming, and together they created an app that maps small local parks and gardens few people knew about. Their app quickly grew popular in town and even won a local youth innovation award. Next time you see a young person lost in thought, don’t rush to pull them back. They might just be imagining the next great idea. 1．What upset Mark when he was biking around his neighbourhood? 2．How does the app created by Sally and her friends help? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > With encouragement from his friends and parents, Mark built a small bike shelter for his neighbourhood after months of trial and error. 4．How can you put your imagination into practice as Mark and Sally did?

When I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree, I wanted to develop a novel research programme and quickly establish myself as an independent scientist. But I was unrealistically optimistic about what I could achieve. As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. As a result, the first four years of my postgraduate career were defined by a series of failures. During my second year, I failed my comprehensive exam because my proposal was unclear. During my third year, I discovered that after treating thousands of seeds, I obtained just one plant I could use for experiments. By my fourth year, my desperation to succeed overshadowed my desire for independence. My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. I worked extensively with other students, constantly asked questions, and helped with ongoing projects to learn everything I could. Finally, I conducted an elegant experiment that would not have been possible without the help of the members in the lab. My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data. By learning when to ask for help, I eventually found myself on the way to becoming an independent scientist. 1．In the beginning, what drove the author to push forward with the research plan? 2．What was the solution by the adviser and the author after those repeated failures? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. 4．From this story, what can you learn about “independence”?

People develop countless habits as they explore the world, whether they are aware of them or not. Understanding how habits take shape may be helpful in changing bad habits. Habits are built through learning and repetition. A person is thought to develop a habit in the course of pursuing goals by beginning to associate certain cues(刺激) with behavioural responses that help meet the goal. Over time, thoughts of the behaviour and ultimately the behaviour itself are likely to be triggered(触发) by these cues. A “habit loop(环)” is a way of describing several related elements that produce habits. These elements are called the cue, the routine, and the reward. For example, stress could serve as a cue that one responds to by eating, which produces the reward﹣the reduction of stress. While a routine involves repeated behaviour, it’s not necessarily performed in response to a deep﹣rooted urge, as a habit is. Old habits can be difficult to shake, and healthy habits are often harder to develop. But through repetition, it’s possible to form new habits. The amount of time needed to build a habit will depend on multiple factors, including the individual and the intended behaviour. While you are able to pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many months to build a healthy habit. Take some time to think about what leads to bad habits and re﹣evaluate what you get out of them (or don’t). Consider and keep in mind why you want to make a change, including how the change reflects your values. 1．How are habits built? 2．In what way is a routine different from a habit? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time. 4．What benefit(s) have you got from one of your good habits?(In about 40 words) 【热点话题练习】 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 With the development and expansion of the Internet, many hobbies and interests of modern people have gained a new dimension. The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends, to communicate and share experiences. Specialized websites provide users with even more information about their subjects of interest and help discover new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies, arts, modeling, programming, literature, and music as well. One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to music on the way to work, at home, or elsewhere. There are plenty of websites that allow music lovers to stay in touch with the news relating to their hobbies. One such website is Music.fm, a mix of a social network and an Internet radio that tracks down the music its users listen to. This website is of great benefit for music enthusiasts and besides, it has a number of advantages compared to other sources providing similar services. The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of Music.fm. One of its significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling (歌曲记录). This technology is convenient and definitely helpful for music lovers. With its aid, Music.fm searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. These people are called neighbors and the idea is that they can get acquainted (熟悉) with the fans of their favorite kind of music and, most likely, make new friends. The information about upcoming events nearby, as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling. Music.fm allows users to listen to music for free. However, there is a serious drawback connected to it: It is available only to citizens of the USA, Germany, and Great Britain. At the same time, if you want to use Music.fm for communication, you might find that traditional social networks are more suitable for this purpose. 1．What can Internet help its enthusiasts to do according to the passage? 2．How does Music.fm help people make friends with the fans of their favorite kind of music? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.     Music.fm is popular among its lovers because it is not only free but also more suitable for communication. 4．Please briefly present the benefits that a modern technology tool brings to you.

There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into break times. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn't take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture from the classrooms. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has also improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The Inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal.” she says. 1．According to the passage, what is play-based learning like? 2．What was the impact of removing all the furniture from year 5 children’s classrooms? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶ Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change, but her approach can be difficult to roll out. 4．Do you think play-based learning can be applied in your school? And why?(In about 40 words) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Rote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines ‘by rote’ as: ‘from memory, without thought of the meaning; in a mechanical way’. The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology. No one needs to memorize friends’ phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically. And why remember when and where World War Ⅱ broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about six seconds? But now there are voices calling for a need to return to rote learning. In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and law, which requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things, but without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject. While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun. Drilling yourself — with flashcards or by repetition — is usually hard and boring work, which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilled into them by teachers or parents. Rote learning without a willing third party can be a battle of discipline and motivation. But mobile learning can make those flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study; our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep us motivated, whether through game-like structures or recording our progress. Once you’ve acquired the essentials of a subject by rote learning, you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important. 1．What does “rote learning” mean? 2．Why is “rote learning” an essential learning skill? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▷The internet and computers have reduced our need to remember information, and mobile learning probably makes rote learning more difficult. 4．What’s your own opinion about rote learning? And explain why. (In about 40 words) Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and irrigation, contribute much more. In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate. We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower. It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce. 1．Why is buying local food promoted by campaigners? 2．What makes locally grown food use more energy than imported food? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket. 4．Excluding environmental concerns, would you prefer to buy local food or imported food? Why?（In about 40 words） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 When you have a big project to do, you should be totally focused — but that’s easier said than done. Whether a lack of personal interest is keeping you from committing or distractions are coming from someone or something else, it can be hard to get in the zone. That zone, according to one productivity theory, is called deep work. Deep work is a concept first defined by Cal Newport, who wrote, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World. As he tells it, deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way. If you can master it, you’ll get more done in less time, become a master of your work, and ultimately end up feeling more fulfilled as a result. Newport draws a distinction between deep work and shallow work, or that which can be accomplished while you’re distracted. The difference between these is that deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work. Creating a project deck is deep work. Emailing colleagues to coordinate data for it is shallow work. If you’re having a hard time achieving deep work, Newport has some guidelines. The key is first sorting your work into deep and shallow categories. Determine which of your tasks are cognitively demanding and valuable and which are “logistical-style” and replicable. Next, plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks, then schedule it out so you have that time blocked off in your schedule. Finally, when the time comes to get into deep work, eliminate all your distractions. Signal that you’re busy, make sure you’re unavailable on the shared calendar, and put your phone on “do not disturb.” Don’t check emails, don’t talk to anyone, don’t look at your devices for anything but work, and commit to only working on your demanding task in the time you allotted for it. 1．What is deep work according to Cal Newport? 2．What is the difference between deep work and shallow work? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶To achieve deep work, we need to tell deep work from shallow work, spend more time on deep work and remove all distractions. 4．In what other way(s) can you boost deep work as a student?(In about 40 words) Do you share too much online? It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media? What is oversharing? The term has become associated with social media, but it isn’t exclusive to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have disclosed intimate details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage therapist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media? Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology, says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we attract our own negative experiences the more we share them. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally perceived as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be. However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become — provided that the posts that we bang out (匆匆发出) are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid whining (抱怨) and being negative online. We should also steer clear of showing off, bragging or flexing, as it’s now known -especially about our love lives. It makes sense — if your date is going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text? So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your gripes about your lack of money really are too much. 1．What are ‘dance challenges’ and ‘pillow dresses’ examples of? 2．What might people who overshare at parties be trying to do? 3．Please underline the inappropriate part in the following statement and explain why. The more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become, so the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is taken as an act of wisdom. 4．Do you think you are oversharing on social media? Why? A Journey of Rediscovery in the Scottish Highlands The morning mist hung low over the green hills as our train slowly entered the small village of Glenfinnan. I had come to Scotland with a carefully made plan for my summer trip. My list included visiting the famous Loch Ness, walking through the streets of Edinburgh, and taking photos of the beautiful Glenfinnan Viaduct. After a busy final year in school, I hoped this trip would help me relax and clear my mind. However, the most wonderful travel experiences often come when we least expect them. On my second morning, while hiking to a popular viewpoint, I took a wrong turn and found myself on a quiet path. Curious about where it would lead, I followed the sound of running water and soon discovered a small family-owned woolen mill hidden in the valley. The owner, Mrs. Campbell, welcomed me warmly into her workshop. For the next two hours, she patiently showed me how they transformed local sheep’s wool into beautiful patterned cloth using traditional methods. She shared fascinating stories about her family’s history in the village and their deep connection to the land. Though I couldn’t understand all her words because of her strong accent, her kindness needed no translation. Later, I did visit all the famous places on my list, but that unexpected afternoon at the woolen mill remained the most precious memory of my trip. It taught me that while it’s good to have a plan, the real magic of travel lies in those unplanned moments when we truly connect with a place and its people. Sometimes, getting lost can help us find what we didn’t know we were looking for. 1．Where did the author’s journey take place? 2．What two things did Mrs. Campbell show or tell the author? 3．Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason.  The author visited the woolen mill after he had already seen all the famous places on his travel list. 4．Do you prefer carefully planned trips or unplanned travel? Why? 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Teens Are Flocking to AI Chatbots. Is this Healthy? A new report from Common Sense Media says that 72 percent of teens surveyed have used AI companions, and 33 percent have relationships or friendships with these chatbots. The language that AI companions use, the responses they make, and the empathy they show can make a user feel as though they truly understand and sympathize. These chatbots can make someone feel liked or even loved. They are programmed to help users feel like they’ve made a real connection. You might think your kid won’t get attached, that they will know this chatbot is an algorithm designed to give responses based on the text inputs they receive; that it’s not “real.” But a fascinating Stanford University study of students who use the app Replika found that 81 percent considered their AI companion to have “intelligence,” and 90 percent thought it “human-like.” On the plus side, these companions are sometimes touted(吹捧，兜售)for their supportiveness and promotion of mental health; the Stanford study even found that 3 percent of users felt their Replika had directly helped them avoid suicide. If you’re a teenager who is isolated or struggling to make friends, an AI companion can provide much-needed companionship. They may offer practice when it comes to building conversational and social skills.  Chatbots can offer helpful information and tips. But a suit(诉讼案)filed in 2024 claims that Character. AI encourages self-harm in teens and violence towards parents who try to set limits on how often kids use the app. Then there’s privacy: wired, drawing on Mozilla’s research, labeled AI companions a “privacy nightmare,” many crawling with data trackers that might control users into thinking a chatbot is their soulmate, encouraging negative or harmful behaviors. Remind kids that human friends offer so much that AI companions don’t. In real life friendships are challenging, and this is a good thing. Remind them that in their younger years, play is how they learned new skills; if they didn’t know how to put LEGO s together, they learned with a new friend. If they struggled with collaboration and cooperation, play taught them how to take turns, and how to adjust based on their playmates’ responses. 1．What can make a user feel chatbots are truly understanding and sympathetic? 2．Why did Wired call a chatbot a “privacy nightmare”? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ◇According to the passage, children can learn collaboration and cooperation skills by playing with their chatbots. 4．Between AI companions and real-life friends, which do you prefer? Why?（In about 40 words） The last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was: “Things are working out for your own good. Just give them some time.” Those words just fueled my anger. Then I read the story of the Chinese bamboo farmer, which gave me a different view on life. The seed of the Chinese bamboo is planted in the ground like every seed. It is watered and fed with nutrients daily, but it shows no immediate physical response and doesn’t appear to grow. The farmer continues to water and feed the seed in year one, year two, and year three. No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. The Chinese bamboo grows to its full capacity within 5 years. Despite not seeing an immediate result, the farmer had trust in what he was doing. He continued to water and feed the plant for four years, because he believed that if he played his own role and did all that a farmer was supposed to do, then he would be given his reward at the right time. That trust and patience is what kept the farmer persistently feeding his seed for four years before enjoying the reward in the end. Life is not always straightforward. Most often, it’s not a matter of 5+5=10 (Sum 1). Life can be more like 2+1+2+0+0+0+1+2+0+0+1+1=10 (Sum 2) Both sums lead to the same result, but through quite different paths and processes. To be mature is to accept that things might look rough right now but the story can still have a great ending. We might live in a microwave generation where everything seems to happen instantly; but many things still obey the laws of nature. Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. 1．What happened to the author in the final year of college? 2．How does the Chinese bamboo grow in the fourth year? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. To overcome difficulties, we need to trust that things will work out and simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Williams and Smith spend the weeks leading up to Christmas crossing the country. They visit all 50 states, making house calls to kids who are sick or disabled. The pair arrive with plenty of toys and in costume, both of which delight the young recipients. In past years, Williams has dressed up as various super-heroes and other beloved characters — including Spider-Man, Dead pool and the Mandalorian — while Smith dons the attire of a Christmas elf. Though Williams has been spreading joy this way for years, the initial intention to do it came from a joyless place. In 2009, he lost his mother to cancer. “I fell into a five-year depression,” he told Good Morning America. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal: to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions. “He was the first person to put a smile on A’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. “I will never forget that day.” Williams and Smith start their gift-giving trek by driving through the 48 contiguous states before flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by the donations that come through the Future SuperHero website, which is also where people nominate families for the pair to visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. Even more important than the gifts they bring, Williams and Smith spend time with the people who need it the most — and that’s not just the children. “The parents seem more excited than the kids sometimes,” Wiliams told KTVO News after a visit to Billings, Montana, last year. The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they barely get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Smith says. “I can’t go wrong with that.” “I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” 1．What do Williams and Smith do to cheer up those sick or disabled kids? 2．Why did Williams launch his nonprofit? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Williams and Smith get the donations from people who are nominated to visit the pair. 4．How can you bring smiles to others as Williams and Smith do? （In about 40 words） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 When Dr. Henderson was assigning project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have fun with. Above all, I prayed he wouldn’t assign me to work with that fiercely competitive, overly serious fellow who always wore dark clothes — his personality seemed to match his attire. But fate had other plans: Dr. Henderson deliberately paired everyone up and announced I’d be working with the very person I’d wanted to avoid. I approached my new teammate to introduce myself, but he looked at me as if I weren’t even there. I felt he saw me as dead weight, someone who might keep him from getting an A．He wasn’t mean, just distant — like he’d fare better tackling the project alone. Needless to say, I dreaded an entire term of being brushed off. But I bit my tongue, trying to make the best of it, afraid of making things worse. The project required developing a hypothesis, designing an experiment, conducting statistical analysis, and presenting findings — with both teammates sharing the final grade. When we met to discuss plans, I felt uneasy. Here was this intense student, known for single - minded focus and top grades — the polar opposite of me. I even thought about dropping the class but held back, not wanting him to see me chicken out. I resolved to stick it out. After lengthy discussions, we settled on studying teenagers’ psychological well-being. I wasn’t sure what that entailed, but at least we had a topic. We met regularly to plan, but I hesitated to share ideas, fearing I’d hold him back. I just nodded when he asked if things were okay this way or that, figuring persuading him was impossible. I started counting the minutes until we could leave — and he seemed to do the same. I just wanted presentation day to come sooner. Then I heard he’d been admitted to the hospital with a serious illness. I felt terrible and knew I had to visit. He looked surprised when I walked into his ward with flowers and fruit. I offered to finish the project, and to my shock, he asked me to share my ideas to improve it. We finally worked as a real team, finishing on time. Our hard work paid off — Dr. Henderson was thrilled with our findings. Through it all, we learned the true value of teamwork. As they say, one person can go fast, but together we can go far. 1．Whom did I expect to work with on the project? 2．What did Dr. Henderson’s assignment involve? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. When he asked if things were okay this way or that, I just nodded because his ideas were rather persuasive. 4．What would you do if you were teamed up with someone you don’t like for a project? （In about 40 words） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The Impact of Plastic Pollution on Marine Life Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, threatening marine ecosystems. Marine animals, such as turtles, seabirds, and whales, often mistake plastic debris for food. For example, sea turtles confuse floating plastic bags with jellyfish, which can block their digestive systems and lead to starvation. Similarly, seabirds feed plastic fragments to their chicks, causing long-term health issues. Microplastics — tiny plastic particles from the breakdown of larger items — have spread even to the deepest parts of the ocean. These particles are swallowed by small marine organisms, such as plankton, and eventually reaching humans through seafood. Efforts to deal with this crisis are growing worldwide. Many countries have introduced bans on single-use plastics like straws and bags. Innovations in biodegradable materials, such as plant-based packaging, offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. Community initiatives, including beach cleanups and educational campaigns, raise awareness about responsible waste management. However, experts stress that systemic changes are essential. Improving recycling systems, investing in technologies to collect ocean plastics, and holding companies responsible for excessive plastic production are key steps.

Around the world, kids are using imagination in ways that were once only found in science fiction. Take the story of Mark Lee. He loved biking around his neighbourhood but grew upset seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks. Instead of simply complaining, he decided to do something about it. Using an old 3D printer, Mark started experimenting. He melted (熔化) plastic bottles down and tried shaping them into small bricks. At first, everything went wrong — the plastic broke, the printer jammed, and the pieces didn’t fit together. Friends laughed a little, and even Mark’s parents thought he should just give up. But Mark had a different idea. He redesigned the bricks to lock together like puzzle (拼图) pieces and adjusted the heating temperature carefully. After months of trial and error, he succeeded. With a little help from his school and the local community centre, Mark used his bricks to build a small bike shelter for his neighbourhood. And he’s not alone. Thirteen-year-old Sally Carter loved reading fantasy books. Inspired by magical maps in her stories, she wondered: what if we could build a real-world app that helps people explore hidden places in their own cities? She gathered friends, learned some basic programming, and together they created an app that maps small local parks and gardens few people knew about. Their app quickly grew popular in town and even won a local youth innovation award. Next time you see a young person lost in thought, don’t rush to pull them back. They might just be imagining the next great idea. 1．What upset Mark when he was biking around his neighbourhood? 2．How does the app created by Sally and her friends help? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > With encouragement from his friends and parents, Mark built a small bike shelter for his neighbourhood after months of trial and error. 4．How can you put your imagination into practice as Mark and Sally did? (In about 40 words) 【答案】1．Seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks. 2．It helps people explore hidden places like small local parks and gardens in their own cities. 3． According to the passage, friends laughed a little, and even Mark’s parents thought he should just give up; so this part With encouragement from his friends and parents is false. 94．First, spot a problem you care about. Then, experiment boldly or create. Learn  relevant skills if needed, persist through setbacks, and ask friends or communities for help to keep trying despite difficulties to turn your ideas into real solutions. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Mark Lee和Sally Carter两位青少年发挥想象力并付诸实践的故事，鼓励年轻人积极发挥想象力，勇敢尝试。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段“He loved biking around his neighbourhood but grew upset seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks. (他喜欢在社区里骑自行车，但看到公园和人行道上到处都是塑料瓶，他很沮丧。)” 可知，让Mark沮丧的是看到公园和人行道上有很多塑料瓶。故填 Seeing that many plastic bottles littered the parks and sidewalks. 2．考查细节理解。根据第五段“what if we could build a real - world app that helps people explore hidden places in their own cities? She gathered friends, learned some basic programming, and together they created an app that maps small local parks and gardens few people knew about. (如果我们能开发一个现实世界的应用程序，帮助人们探索他们自己城市里隐藏的地方会怎么样呢？她召集了朋友们，学习了一些基本的编程知识，然后他们一起开发了一个应用程序，该程序可以绘制出很少有人知道的当地小公园和花园的地图。)” 可知，Sally和她朋友创建的应用程序帮助人们探索自己城市里像小公园和花园这样隐藏的地方。故填It helps people explore hidden places like small local parks and gardens in their own cities. 3．考查细节理解。根据第三段“Friends laughed a little, and even Mark’s parents thought he should just give up. (朋友们有点嘲笑，甚至Mark的父母都认为他应该放弃。)” 可知，Mark并没有得到朋友和父母的鼓励，所以“With encouragement from his friends and parents” 这部分是错误的。故填According to the passage, friends laughed a little, and even Mark’s parents thought he should just give up; so this part With encouragement from his friends and parents is false. 4．考查开放性试题。结合Mark和Sally的故事，可知他们都是先发现问题或有想法，然后勇敢尝试，必要时学习相关技能，面对困难坚持不懈。故填First, spot a problem you care about. Then, experiment boldly or create. Learn relevant skills if needed, persist through setbacks, and ask friends or communities for help to keep trying despite difficulties to turn your ideas into real solutions. 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Growing up, I idealised independence. I always wanted my own efforts to be enough. When I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree, I wanted to develop a novel research programme and quickly establish myself as an independent scientist. But I was unrealistically optimistic about what I could achieve. As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. As a result, the first four years of my postgraduate career were defined by a series of failures. During my second year, I failed my comprehensive exam because my proposal was unclear. During my third year, I discovered that after treating thousands of seeds, I obtained just one plant I could use for experiments. By my fourth year, my desperation to succeed overshadowed my desire for independence. My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. I worked extensively with other students, constantly asked questions, and helped with ongoing projects to learn everything I could. Finally, I conducted an elegant experiment that would not have been possible without the help of the members in the lab. My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data. By learning when to ask for help, I eventually found myself on the way to becoming an independent scientist. 1．In the beginning, what drove the author to push forward with the research plan? 2．What was the solution by the adviser and the author after those repeated failures? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. > The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. 4．From this story, what can you learn about “independence”? (In about 40 words) 【答案】1．The need to be recognized as an independent scientist. 2．The author would spend three months in a collaborating lab to obtain specialised training. 3．The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. It is because the author had acquired the collaborating skills by working with others there so that the adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success. 4．In the story, success in becoming an independent scientist was ultimately achieved through collaboration, adaptive learning, and resilience in the face of setbacks. From the story, we learn that while independence is initially idealised and pursued passionately, true independence often involves recognizing the value of collaboration and learning than to seek help. (答案言之有理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在追求科学研究的独立过程中遇到的挑战、失败、学习和成长的故事。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段“As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. (当我开始设计实验时，我的委员会成员警告我，我将面临的挑战。但是我对独立的需求驱使我推进我的研究计划)”可知，一开始，是作者对独立的需求驱使作者推进这个研究计划。故答案为：The need to be recognized as an independent scientist. 2．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. (我的导师和我想出了一个有点不同寻常的解决方案：我将在一个合作实验室里待上三个月，接受专门培训)”可知，在反复的失败之后，导师和作者的解决方案是，作者将花三个月的时间在合作实验室接受专门培训。故答案为：The author would spend three months in a collaborating lab to obtain specialised training. 3．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data.(我的导师认为这段经历是一次开创性的成功，强调了我获得的合作技能。几个月后，当我在家里的实验室里重复这个实验时，我得到了更多可发表的数据)”可知，导师认为作者在实验室的经历是一次开创性的成功，这是因为作者通过与他人合作获得了合作技能，而不是因为产生了可发表的数据。故答案：The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. It is because the author had acquired the collaborating skills by working with others there so that the adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success. 4．开放性问题。答案言之有理即可。通读全文可知，作者成为一名独立科学家的成功最终是通过合作、适应性学习和面对挫折的韧性来实现的。从这个故事中，我们了解到，虽然独立最初是理想化的，并被热情地追求，但真正的独立往往包括认识到合作的价值，并学会何时寻求帮助。故答案为：In the story, success in becoming an independent scientist was ultimately achieved through collaboration, adaptive learning, and resilience in the face of setbacks. From the story, we learn that while independence is initially idealised and pursued passionately, true independence often involves recognizing the value of collaboration and learning when to seek help. 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Habit formation is the process by which behaviours become automatic. People develop countless habits as they explore the world, whether they are aware of them or not. Understanding how habits take shape may be helpful in changing bad habits. Habits are built through learning and repetition. A person is thought to develop a habit in the course of pursuing goals by beginning to associate certain cues(刺激) with behavioural responses that help meet the goal. Over time, thoughts of the behaviour and ultimately the behaviour itself are likely to be triggered(触发) by these cues. A “habit loop(环)” is a way of describing several related elements that produce habits. These elements are called the cue, the routine, and the reward. For example, stress could serve as a cue that one responds to by eating, which produces the reward﹣the reduction of stress. While a routine involves repeated behaviour, it’s not necessarily performed in response to a deep﹣rooted urge, as a habit is. Old habits can be difficult to shake, and healthy habits are often harder to develop. But through repetition, it’s possible to form new habits. The amount of time needed to build a habit will depend on multiple factors, including the individual and the intended behaviour. While you are able to pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many months to build a healthy habit. Take some time to think about what leads to bad habits and re﹣evaluate what you get out of them (or don’t). Consider and keep in mind why you want to make a change, including how the change reflects your values. 1．How are habits built? 2．In what way is a routine different from a habit? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time. 4．What benefit(s) have you got from one of your good habits?(In about 40 words) 【答案】1．Habits are built through learning and repetition. 2．A routine involves repeated behaviour while a habit is a deep﹣rooted urge. 3．Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time. Because building a healthy habit takes many months. 4．I have a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Therefore, I can study energetically every morning, which makes me study efficiently. Also, I am very healthy. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。习惯的形成是行为自动形成的过程。人们在探索世界的过程中养成了无数的习惯，不管他们是否意识到这些习惯。文章主要说明了习惯是如何形成的以及对人的影响。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Habits are built through learning and repetition.(习惯是通过学习和重复建立起来的)”可知，习惯是通过学习和重复建立起来的。故填Habits are built through learning and repetition.。 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“While a routine involves repeated behaviour, it’s not necessarily performed in response to a deep﹣rooted urge, as a habit is.(虽然一个常规包括重复的行为，但它不一定是为了应对深度﹣根深蒂固的冲动，就像习惯一样)”可知，常规不同于习惯在于：常规是重复的行为，而习惯是深度﹣根深蒂固的冲动，故填A routine involves repeated behaviour while a habit is a deep﹣rooted urge.。 3．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“While you are able to pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many months to build a healthy habit.(虽然你可以在几周内养成一个新的习惯，但是要养成一个健康的习惯却需要好几个月的时间)”可知，养成一个新的习惯需要好几周，而要养成一个健康的习惯却需要好几个月的时间。所以句子“Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time.”中“a shorter time”错误，应该为many months，故填Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time. Because building a healthy habit takes many months.。 4．开放试题，言之有理即可。题干问“你的一个好习惯给你带来了什么好处？（大约40个字）”，答案可以是：我有早睡早起的好习惯。因此，我可以每天早上精力充沛地学习，这使我学习效率高。而且，我很健康。故填I have a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Therefore, I can study energetically every morning, which makes me study efficiently. Also, I am very healthy.。 【热点话题练习】 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 With the development and expansion of the Internet, many hobbies and interests of modern people have gained a new dimension. The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends, to communicate and share experiences. Specialized websites provide users with even more information about their subjects of interest and help discover new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies, arts, modeling, programming, literature, and music as well. One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to music on the way to work, at home, or elsewhere. There are plenty of websites that allow music lovers to stay in touch with the news relating to their hobbies. One such website is Music.fm, a mix of a social network and an Internet radio that tracks down the music its users listen to. This website is of great benefit for music enthusiasts and besides, it has a number of advantages compared to other sources providing similar services. The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of Music.fm. One of its significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling (歌曲记录). This technology is convenient and definitely helpful for music lovers. With its aid, Music.fm searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. These people are called neighbors and the idea is that they can get acquainted (熟悉) with the fans of their favorite kind of music and, most likely, make new friends. The information about upcoming events nearby, as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling. Music.fm allows users to listen to music for free. However, there is a serious drawback connected to it: It is available only to citizens of the USA, Germany, and Great Britain. At the same time, if you want to use Music.fm for communication, you might find that traditional social networks are more suitable for this purpose. 1．What can Internet help its enthusiasts to do according to the passage? 2．How does Music.fm help people make friends with the fans of their favorite kind of music? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.     Music.fm is popular among its lovers because it is not only free but also more suitable for communication. 4．Please briefly present the benefits that a modern technology tool brings to you. (about 40 words) 【答案】1．It offers them opportunities to come together to exchange their ideas, interests and experiences. 2．It searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. 3．Music.fm is popular among its lovers because it is not only free but also more suitable for communication. According to the passage, it is the traditional social networks rather than Music.fm that are more suitable for communication. 4．First, WeChat is easy to use. You can log in to it with your phone number and start a conversation by tapping the speak button. In addition, WeChat is a wonderful platform for people to share an ample amount of information. It even supports sending photos and videos. 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了Music.fm这个网站对人们收听音乐带来的革命性的改变，同时也提到了它和传统社交平台相比，该网站还存在的一些缺陷。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends, to communicate and share experiences.(互联网使狂热者们联合起来分享他们对趋势的兴奋，交流和分享经验)”可知，互联网使狂热者们团结起来，分享他们对趋势的兴奋，交流和分享经验。故答案为It offers them opportunities to come together to exchange their ideas, interests and experiences. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“With its aid, Music.fm searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. These people are called neighbors and the idea is that they can get acquainted (熟悉) with the fans of their favorite kind of music and, most likely, make new friends.(借助它的帮助，Music.fm搜索具有相似音乐偏好的人，并为一个人展示兴趣在某种程度上匹配的人的列表。这些人被称为邻居，想法是他们可以结识自己喜欢的音乐的粉丝，并最有可能结交新朋友)”可知，Music.fm搜索具有相似音乐偏好的人并显示这些人的列表，他们因此可能会成为朋友，故答案为It searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. 3．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“At the same time, if you want to use Music.fm for communication, you might find that traditional social networks are more suitable for this purpose.(同时，如果你想使用Music.fm用于交流，你可能会发现传统的社交网络更适合这个目的)”可知，使传统社交网络更适合人际沟通，而不是Music.fm这个网站，故答案是Music.fm is popular among its lovers because it is not only free but also more suitable for communication. According to the passage, it is the traditional social networks rather than Music.fm that are more suitable for communication. 4．考查开放题型。本题是开放题型，答案合理即可，如：首先，微信易于使用。您可以用您的电话号码登录，并通过点击说话按钮开始对话。此外，微信是人们分享大量信息的绝佳平台。它甚至支持发送照片和视频。故答案为First, WeChat is easy to use. You can log in to it with your phone number and start a conversation by tapping the speak button. In addition, WeChat is a wonderful platform for people to share an ample amount of information. It even supports sending photos and videos. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into break times. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn't take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture from the classrooms. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has also improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The Inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal.” she says. 1．According to the passage, what is play-based learning like? 2．What was the impact of removing all the furniture from year 5 children’s classrooms? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶ Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change, but her approach can be difficult to roll out. 4．Do you think play-based learning can be applied in your school? And why?(In about 40 words) 【答案】1．It is a way of learning that lets children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities. 2．Children can choose where and how to learn; the class becomes calm and engaged; their self-regulation improves greatly and they can settle down to work more readily. 3．Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change, but her approach can be difficult to roll out. Because The passage clearly states that Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. 4．Yes, I think so. Because it can make students more engaged in learning, improve their self-regulation and help them learn in a more relaxed way./No, I don’t think so. Because my school has a large number of students and limited space, which may make it hard to carry out play-based learning smoothly. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍牛津一所小学推行游戏化学习的实践及带来的积极效果。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school.(游戏化学习 —— 让孩子们四处走动、编游戏，并在宽松引导的活动中探索 —— 这种学习方式通常在孩子们上小学后就停止了)”可知，游戏化学习的特点是让孩子在宽松引导的活动中走动、编游戏并进行探索。故填It is a way of learning that lets children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities. 2．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged. Their self-regulation has also improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.(效果立竿见影且令人印象深刻。孩子们现在可以选择在哪里以及如何学习。曾经注意力难以集中的班级现在变得安静且专注投入。他们的自我调节能力也有了很大提升。他们能更迅速地静下心来学习)”可知，移除五年级教室所有家具后，孩子们可自主选择学习的地点与方式，班级从注意力涣散变得安静专注，自我调节能力大幅提升，能更快进入学习状态。故填Children can choose where and how to learn; the class becomes calm and engaged; their self-regulation improves greatly and they can settle down to work more readily. 3．考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out.(法尔表示，她的这种教学方法可以推广开来)” 可知，原句中错误的部分是but her approach can be difficult to roll out，因为法尔明确表示她的这种教学方法可以推广开。故填Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change, but her approach can be difficult to roll out. Because The passage clearly states that Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. 4．开放性问答题。结合文章内容，答案符合逻辑和字数要求即可。例如：是的，我认为这种方法可以在我校实施。因为它可以让学生更加投入学习，提高他们的自我调节能力，帮助他们以更轻松的方式学习。/不，我不这么认为。因为我的学校人数众多，空间有限，这可能会使游戏式学习难以顺利开展。故填Yes, I think so. Because it can make students more engaged in learning, improve their self-regulation and help them learn in a more relaxed way./No, I don’t think so. Because my school has a large number of students and limited space, which may make it hard to carry out play-based learning smoothly. 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Rote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines ‘by rote’ as: ‘from memory, without thought of the meaning; in a mechanical way’. The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology. No one needs to memorize friends’ phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically. And why remember when and where World War Ⅱ broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about six seconds? But now there are voices calling for a need to return to rote learning. In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and law, which requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things, but without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject. While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun. Drilling yourself — with flashcards or by repetition — is usually hard and boring work, which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilled into them by teachers or parents. Rote learning without a willing third party can be a battle of discipline and motivation. But mobile learning can make those flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study; our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep us motivated, whether through game-like structures or recording our progress. Once you’ve acquired the essentials of a subject by rote learning, you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important. 1．What does “rote learning” mean? 2．Why is “rote learning” an essential learning skill? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▷The internet and computers have reduced our need to remember information, and mobile learning probably makes rote learning more difficult. 4．What’s your own opinion about rote learning? And explain why. (In about 40 words) 【答案】1．It means learning from memory, without thought of the meaning, in a mechanical way. 2．Because memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill and without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject. 3．The internet and computers have reduced our need to remember information, and mobile learning probably makes rote learning more difficult. Because mobile learning can make rote learning more convenient and fun, and help bring it back to life. 4．I think rote learning is necessary in some cases. For example, when learning basic facts or formulas, rote learning can help us quickly recall them and apply them in practical situations. However, understanding and critical thinking are also important. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了死记硬背的定义、重要性，以及移动学习对它的助力 1．考查细节理解。由文章第一段“Rote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines ‘by rote’ as: ‘from memory, without thought of the meaning; in a mechanical way’. (字典对“死记硬背”的定义是：‘凭记忆，不考虑意思；机械地’。)”可知，死记硬背是指凭记忆，不考虑意思，机械地学习。故答案为It means learning from memory, without thought of the meaning, in a mechanical way. 2．考查细节理解。由文章第三段“In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and law, which requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things, but without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject. (事实上，记忆关键数据对于学习任何技能都是至关重要的。行医需要医学和法律知识，这需要案例和法律知识。当然，能够回忆起事情并不会加深你对这些事情的理解，但是如果不记住这些基础元素，你就无法深入理解一个主题。)”可知，死记硬背是必要的学习技能，因为记忆关键数据对于学习任何技能都是至关重要的，没有记住这些基础元素，就无法深入理解一个主题。故答案为Because memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill and without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject. 3．考查细节理解。由文章第四段“While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun. (虽然互联网和电脑削弱了我们记忆事物的需求，但移动学习很可能通过使这种学习方式更加方便和有趣，使其重新焕发生机。)”可知，互联网和电脑减少了我们记忆信息的需求，而移动学习可能使死记硬背变得更容易，而不是更困难。故答案为The internet and computers have reduced our need to remember information, and mobile learning probably makes rote learning more difficult. Because mobile learning can make rote learning more convenient and fun, and help bring it back to life. 4．开放性题目，此题要求回答：你对死记硬背有什么看法？并解释原因。（约40字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我认为在某些情况下，死记硬背是必要的。例如，在学习基本事实或公式时，死记硬背可以帮助我们快速回忆它们并将其应用于实际情况。然而，理解和批判性思维也很重要。故答案为I think rote learning is necessary in some cases. For example, when learning basic facts or formulas, rote learning can help us quickly recall them and apply them in practical situations. However, understanding and critical thinking are also important. Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and irrigation, contribute much more. In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate. We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower. It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce. 1．Why is buying local food promoted by campaigners? 2．What makes locally grown food use more energy than imported food? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket. 4．Excluding environmental concerns, would you prefer to buy local food or imported food? Why?（In about 40 words） 【答案】1．Because the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. 2．Refrigerating locally grown food for months and growing it in heated greenhouses. 3．If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket. A product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. 118．version 1: I would choose local food. First, purchasing local food supports domestic farmers and businesses, contributing to regional economic growth. Second, local food typically often reflects seasonal availability, which enhances taste and quality, encouraging a natural diet aligned with the environment.（40 words） version 2: I would choose imported food. It offers greater variety and access to unique products unavailable locally, such as exotic fruits or specialty cheeses. Imported food allows me to explore different cuisines and enjoy flavors from around the world. This diversity enriches my dining experience and broadens my culinary horizons.（49 words） 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了活动倡导者推广本地食品以减碳，但食品碳排放需考量全产业链。部分进口食品因种植、运输条件，碳足迹反而更低，且消费者购物出行也会影响碳排放。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段“Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly.(最近，环保人士鼓励我们购买本地食品。这样做可以减少“食品里程”——即食物从生产者手中运往零售商手中的距离。他们认为，食品的运输里程越长，产生的碳排放就越多。因此，购买本地食品的碳足迹更小，也更有利于环境)”可知，活动人士会大力倡导购买本地食品是因为运输距离越长，碳排放量就越大。因此，购买本地食品的碳足迹更低，也更环保。故答案为Because the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段“However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate.(然而，我们在冬季或春季购买的苹果在储存过程中已经冷藏了数月，这消耗了大量的能源。因此，在春季，从新西兰进口这些苹果更为节能，因为那里正是它们的上市季节。供暖也消耗大量能源，这就是为什么在英国用加热温室来种植西红柿不如从西班牙进口环保，因为在西班牙当地气候条件下，西红柿生长得很好)”可知，本地种植的食物比进口食物消耗更多的能源是因为本地种植的食物冷藏数月，并在加热的温室中种植。故答案为Refrigerating locally grown food for months and growing it in heated greenhouses. 3．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint.(此外，我们还应当记住，一款产品的生命周期并不仅仅在超市这一环节结束。消费者购买食物所走的路程以及他们所使用的交通方式也会增加其碳排放量)”可知，错误部分为“whose destination is the supermarket”，一款产品的生命周期并不仅仅止于超市这一环节。消费者购买食物所走的路程以及他们所使用的交通方式也会增加其碳排放量。故答案为If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket. A product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. 4．考查开放题。根据“不考虑环境因素的话，你更倾向于购买本地食品还是进口食品呢？为什么？”可回答：版本1：我会选择本地食物。首先，购买本地食物能够支持国内的农民和企业，有助于促进地区经济的增长。其次，本地食物通常能更好地反映季节性供应情况，从而提升口感和质量，有助于形成与环境相适应的自然饮食模式。版本2：我会选择进口食物。它提供了更多的种类和获取更多当地没有的独特产品的机会，比如异国水果或特色奶酪。进口食物让我能够探索不同的菜系，并品尝来自世界各地的风味。这种多样性丰富了我的用餐体验，也拓宽了我的烹饪视野。故答案为version 1: I would choose local food. First, purchasing local food supports domestic farmers and businesses, contributing to regional economic growth. Second, local food typically often reflects seasonal availability, which enhances taste and quality, encouraging a natural diet aligned with the environment.（40 words） version 2: I would choose imported food. It offers greater variety and access to unique products unavailable locally, such as exotic fruits or specialty cheeses. Imported food allows me to explore different cuisines and enjoy flavors from around the world. This diversity enriches my dining experience and broadens my culinary horizons.（49 words） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 When you have a big project to do, you should be totally focused — but that’s easier said than done. Whether a lack of personal interest is keeping you from committing or distractions are coming from someone or something else, it can be hard to get in the zone. That zone, according to one productivity theory, is called deep work. Deep work is a concept first defined by Cal Newport, who wrote, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World. As he tells it, deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way. If you can master it, you’ll get more done in less time, become a master of your work, and ultimately end up feeling more fulfilled as a result. Newport draws a distinction between deep work and shallow work, or that which can be accomplished while you’re distracted. The difference between these is that deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work. Creating a project deck is deep work. Emailing colleagues to coordinate data for it is shallow work. If you’re having a hard time achieving deep work, Newport has some guidelines. The key is first sorting your work into deep and shallow categories. Determine which of your tasks are cognitively demanding and valuable and which are “logistical-style” and replicable. Next, plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks, then schedule it out so you have that time blocked off in your schedule. Finally, when the time comes to get into deep work, eliminate all your distractions. Signal that you’re busy, make sure you’re unavailable on the shared calendar, and put your phone on “do not disturb.” Don’t check emails, don’t talk to anyone, don’t look at your devices for anything but work, and commit to only working on your demanding task in the time you allotted for it. 1．What is deep work according to Cal Newport? 2．What is the difference between deep work and shallow work? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶To achieve deep work, we need to tell deep work from shallow work, spend more time on deep work and remove all distractions. 4．In what other way(s) can you boost deep work as a student?(In about 40 words) 【答案】1．Deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way. 2．Deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work. 或 Deep work is cognitively demanding and valuable, while shallow work is “logistical-style” and replicable. 121．To achieve deep work, we need to tell deep work from shallow work, spend more time on deep work and remove all distractions. According to the passage, we need to plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep-work tasks. 122．【Possible Version 1: 回答2个ways】 First, I would use a timer to schedule 25- minute blocks of pure deep work, followed by short breaks, which systematically strengthens my focus endurance. Second, I would tackle my most demanding task at my daily peak — early morning — when my mind is freshest, safeguarding this prime time for intense concentration rather than shallow work.(54 words) 【Possible Version 2: 回答1个 way】 I would establish a“ focus ritual” that combines environmental and mental preparation by clearing my desk, setting a clear goal for each session, and spending two minutes in quiet breathing to center my attention. Repeating this before every study block conditions my mind to transition into high concentration, which makes deep work a reliable habit.(55 words) 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“深度工作”这一概念及其与“浅层工作”的区别，并给出了实现深度工作的建议。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段“As he tells it, deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way.(正如他所说，深度工作是指能够完全专注于一项要求苛刻的任务，而不让干扰分散你的注意力。)”可知，深度工作是指能够完全专注于一项要求苛刻的任务，而不让干扰分散注意力的能力。故答案是：Deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way.。 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段“The difference between these is that deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work.(这两者的区别在于，深度工作适用于“认知要求高”的任务，而浅层工作则是你为进行深度工作所做的准备工作。)”可知，深度工作适用于“认知要求高”的任务，而浅层工作则是你为进行深度工作所做的准备工作。或者也可以说，深度工作是认知要求高且有价值的，而浅层工作是“后勤式”且可复制的。故答案是：Deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work.或Deep work is cognitively demanding and valuable, while shallow work is “logistical-style” and replicable.。 3．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Next, plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks, then schedule it out so you have that time blocked off in your schedule.(接下来，计划花一个小时或一个半小时在深度工作任务上，然后安排好时间，这样你就可以在日程安排中留出这段时间。)”可知，“spend more time on deep work”这部分是错误的，因为原文建议我们计划花一个小时或一个半小时在深度工作上，而不是花更多的时间。因此，本小题应划线的部分为：spend more time on deep work；原因解释为：According to the passage, we need to plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks.。故答案是：To achieve deep work, we need to tell deep work from shallow work, spend more time on deep work and remove all distractions. According to the passage, we need to plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks. 4．考查开放性试题。作为学生，提高深度工作能力的方法有很多，以下给出两个版本供参考：版本一：首先，我会使用计时器来安排25分钟的纯深度工作时间块，然后进行短暂的休息，这样可以系统地增强我的专注力耐力。其次，我会在每天精力最充沛的时候——早上——处理我最具挑战性的任务，保护这段黄金时间用于深度集中注意力，而不是浅层工作。版本二：我会建立一个“专注仪式”，结合环境和心理准备，清理我的书桌，为每个学习时段设定一个明确的目标，并花两分钟安静地呼吸来集中注意力。在每次学习前重复这个仪式，可以训练我的大脑过渡到高度集中的状态，使深度工作成为一种可靠的习惯。故答案是：【Possible Version 1: 回答2个ways】First, I would use a timer to schedule 25- minute blocks of pure deep work, followed by short breaks, which systematically strengthens my focus endurance. Second, I would tackle my most demanding task at my daily peak — early morning — when my mind is freshest, safeguarding this prime time for intense concentration rather than shallow work. (54 words) 【Possible Version 2: 回答1个 way】I would establish a “focus ritual” that combines environmental and mental preparation by clearing my desk, setting a clear goal for each session, and spending two minutes in quiet breathing to center my attention. Repeating this before every study block conditions my mind to transition into high concentration, which makes deep work a reliable habit. (55 words)。 Do you share too much online? It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media? What is oversharing? The term has become associated with social media, but it isn’t exclusive to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have disclosed intimate details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage therapist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media? Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology, says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we attract our own negative experiences the more we share them. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally perceived as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be. However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become — provided that the posts that we bang out (匆匆发出) are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid whining (抱怨) and being negative online. We should also steer clear of showing off, bragging or flexing, as it’s now known -especially about our love lives. It makes sense — if your date is going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text? So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your gripes about your lack of money really are too much. 1．What are ‘dance challenges’ and ‘pillow dresses’ examples of? 2．What might people who overshare at parties be trying to do? 3．Please underline the inappropriate part in the following statement and explain why. The more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become, so the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is taken as an act of wisdom. 4．Do you think you are oversharing on social media? Why? 【答案】1．They are examples of new crazes trending on social media. 2．People who overshare at parties might be trying to connect with someone. 3．The more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become, so the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is taken as an act of wisdom; According to the text, sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally perceived as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be, not an act of wisdom. 4．I don’t think I am oversharing on social media. I usually only share positive and meaningful things like my achievements in study or some interesting experiences during my travels. I avoid sharing too many personal details or negative emotions, so I believe I am not oversharing. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者讨论了社交媒体上分享过多的现象，分析了过度分享可能导致的问题，如缺乏同情心，同时也指出适度分享正面内容能提升社交吸引力，并建议通过现实中朋友的反馈来判断是否过度分享。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media? (随着各种新奇潮流不断涌现，比如舞蹈挑战以及将枕头当作裙子来穿等，问题就来了：在社交媒体上分享内容何时会变成过度分享呢？)”可知，这些都是社交媒体上正在流行的新潮流的实例。故答案为：They are examples of new crazes trending on social media. 2．考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have disclosed intimate details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage therapist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone.(想象一下，你参加了一个聚会，然后遇到了某个人。短短五分钟内，对方就透露了自己生活中的一些私密细节。而有些人可能会试图避开这些人，但婚姻治疗师卡罗琳·科尔表示，这种过度分享的行为可能源于强烈的与他人建立联系的渴望。)”可知，在聚会上过度分享信息的人可能是想与某人建立联系。故答案为：People who overshare at parties might be trying to connect with someone. 3．考查推理判断。根据第三段中“Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology, says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong.(克里斯托弗·汉德博士是网络心理学领域的讲师，他指出，人们透露的信息越多，当出现问题时，我们表现出的同情也就越少。)”以及本段中“It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally perceived as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be. (似乎“悲伤式分享”这种通过过度分享来寻求同情的行为，通常被人们视为一种负面现象，而非其本应有的求助之意。)”可知，人们透露的信息越多，当出现问题时，我们表现出的同情也就越少。“悲伤式分享”这种通过过度分享来寻求同情的行为，通常被人们视为一种负面现象，而非其本应有的求助之意，更不是一种明智之举。故题干中“The more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become, so the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is taken as an act of wisdom.(我们在某个平台上发布的内容越多，我们就越能受到社会的欢迎。因此，通过过度分享来寻求同情的想法，被看作是一种明智之举。)”错误之处在“so the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is taken as an act of wisdom.”故答案为：The more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become, so the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is taken as an act of wisdom；According to the text, sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally perceived as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be, not an act of wisdom. 4．开放性试题。根据题干“Do you think you are oversharing on social media? Why?(你觉得你在社交媒体上分享的内容是不是太多了？为什么？)”可知，该题目为开放性试题，回答合理即可。我的观点是：我觉得我在社交媒体上分享的内容并不算过多。我通常只分享一些积极且有意义的事情，比如我在学习上的成就或者旅行中的有趣经历。我避免分享过多个人细节或负面情绪，所以我认为自己并没有过度分享。故答案为：I don't think I am oversharing on social media. I usually only share positive and meaningful things like my achievements in study or some interesting experiences during my travels. I avoid sharing too many personal details or negative emotions, so I believe I am not oversharing. 阅读短文，根据要求用英文回答问题并在答题卡指定区域作答。 A Journey of Rediscovery in the Scottish Highlands The morning mist hung low over the green hills as our train slowly entered the small village of Glenfinnan. I had come to Scotland with a carefully made plan for my summer trip. My list included visiting the famous Loch Ness, walking through the streets of Edinburgh, and taking photos of the beautiful Glenfinnan Viaduct. After a busy final year in school, I hoped this trip would help me relax and clear my mind. However, the most wonderful travel experiences often come when we least expect them. On my second morning, while hiking to a popular viewpoint, I took a wrong turn and found myself on a quiet path. Curious about where it would lead, I followed the sound of running water and soon discovered a small family-owned woolen mill hidden in the valley. The owner, Mrs. Campbell, welcomed me warmly into her workshop. For the next two hours, she patiently showed me how they transformed local sheep’s wool into beautiful patterned cloth using traditional methods. She shared fascinating stories about her family’s history in the village and their deep connection to the land. Though I couldn’t understand all her words because of her strong accent, her kindness needed no translation. Later, I did visit all the famous places on my list, but that unexpected afternoon at the woolen mill remained the most precious memory of my trip. It taught me that while it’s good to have a plan, the real magic of travel lies in those unplanned moments when we truly connect with a place and its people. Sometimes, getting lost can help us find what we didn’t know we were looking for. 1．Where did the author’s journey take place? 2．What two things did Mrs. Campbell show or tell the author? 3．Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason.  The author visited the woolen mill after he had already seen all the famous places on his travel list. 4．Do you prefer carefully planned trips or unplanned travel? Why? 【答案】1．In Scotland. 2．Mrs. Campbell showed the author how they transformed local sheep’s wool into beautiful patterned cloth using traditional methods and shared fascinating stories about her family’s history in the village and their deep connection to the land. 3．The author visited the woolen mill after he had already seen all the famous places on his travel list；The author visited the woolen mill before seeing all the famous places. 4．I prefer carefully planned trips because they allow me to make the most of my time and ensure that I see all the attractions I want to see. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在苏格兰高地的一次旅行经历，作者虽制定了详尽计划，但一次偶然迷路却发现了毛纺厂，这次意外邂逅成为旅行中最珍贵的记忆，让作者领悟到旅行真谛在于不期而遇的际遇。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“I had come to Scotland with a carefully made plan for my summer trip.(我来到苏格兰时，已经为这次夏季旅行制定了详尽的计划。)”可知，作者的这段旅程是发生在苏格兰。故答案为In Scotland。 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The owner, Mrs. Campbell, welcomed me warmly into her workshop. For the next two hours, she patiently showed me how they transformed local sheep’s wool into beautiful patterned cloth using traditional methods. She shared fascinating stories about her family’s history in the village and their deep connection to the land. (店主Campbell夫人热情地把我迎进她的工作室。接下来的两个小时里，她耐心地向我演示他们是如何运用传统工艺将当地的绵羊羊毛加工成精美图案的布料的。她还讲述了她家族在村里的历史以及他们与这片土地的深厚联系。)”可知，Campbell夫人展示了如何运用传统工艺将当地的绵羊羊毛加工成精美图案的布料以及讲述了家族在村里的历史以及他们与这片土地的深厚联系。故答案为Mrs. Campbell showed the author how they transformed local sheep’s wool into beautiful patterned cloth using traditional methods and shared fascinating stories about her family’s history in the village and their deep connection to the land. 3．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中“Later, I did visit all the famous places on my list, but that unexpected afternoon at the woolen mill remained the most precious memory of my trip. (后来，我确实参观了清单上所有的著名景点，但那个在毛纺厂度过的意外下午，却成了我这次旅行中最珍贵的回忆。)”可知，作者参观的毛纺厂是清单上的著名景点，由此表明作者在游览完所有著名景点之前，先去了那家毛纺厂。题干中“The author visited the woolen mill after he had already seen all the famous places on his travel list.(作者在完成了行程中所有著名景点的参观之后，又去了那家毛纺厂。)”错误的部分是“after he had already seen all the famous places on his travel list.(在他已经游览了旅行清单上所有著名景点之后。)”。故答案为：The author visited the woolen mill after he had already seen all the famous places on his travel list；The author visited the woolen mill before seeing all the famous places. 4．开放性试题。根据题干“Do you prefer carefully planned trips or unplanned travel? Why?(你更喜欢精心安排的旅行还是随性随意的出行呢？为什么？)”可知，本题为开放性试题，回答合理即可。本人认为：我更倾向于精心规划的旅行，因为这样能让我充分利用时间，并确保能看到所有想看的景点。故答案为：I prefer carefully planned trips because they allow me to make the most of my time and ensure that I see all the attractions I want to see. 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Teens Are Flocking to AI Chatbots. Is this Healthy? A new report from Common Sense Media says that 72 percent of teens surveyed have used AI companions, and 33 percent have relationships or friendships with these chatbots. The language that AI companions use, the responses they make, and the empathy they show can make a user feel as though they truly understand and sympathize. These chatbots can make someone feel liked or even loved. They are programmed to help users feel like they’ve made a real connection. You might think your kid won’t get attached, that they will know this chatbot is an algorithm designed to give responses based on the text inputs they receive; that it’s not “real.” But a fascinating Stanford University study of students who use the app Replika found that 81 percent considered their AI companion to have “intelligence,” and 90 percent thought it “human-like.” On the plus side, these companions are sometimes touted(吹捧，兜售)for their supportiveness and promotion of mental health; the Stanford study even found that 3 percent of users felt their Replika had directly helped them avoid suicide. If you’re a teenager who is isolated or struggling to make friends, an AI companion can provide much-needed companionship. They may offer practice when it comes to building conversational and social skills.  Chatbots can offer helpful information and tips. But a suit(诉讼案)filed in 2024 claims that Character. AI encourages self-harm in teens and violence towards parents who try to set limits on how often kids use the app. Then there’s privacy: wired, drawing on Mozilla’s research, labeled AI companions a “privacy nightmare,” many crawling with data trackers that might control users into thinking a chatbot is their soulmate, encouraging negative or harmful behaviors. Remind kids that human friends offer so much that AI companions don’t. In real life friendships are challenging, and this is a good thing. Remind them that in their younger years, play is how they learned new skills; if they didn’t know how to put LEGO s together, they learned with a new friend. If they struggled with collaboration and cooperation, play taught them how to take turns, and how to adjust based on their playmates’ responses. 1．What can make a user feel chatbots are truly understanding and sympathetic? 2．Why did Wired call a chatbot a “privacy nightmare”? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ◇According to the passage, children can learn collaboration and cooperation skills by playing with their chatbots. 4．Between AI companions and real-life friends, which do you prefer? Why?（In about 40 words） 【答案】1．The language AI companions use, the responses they make, and the empathy they show. 2．Because many AI companions are full of data trackers that might control users and encourage negative or harmful behaviors. 3．The false part is “by playing with their chatbots”. According to the passage, children learn collaboration and cooperation skills through playing with their playmates, not chatbots. 4．I prefer real-life friends. They offer genuine interactions and growth through challenges, which AI companions can’t replace, helping me learn real social skills. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨青少年热衷AI聊天机器人的现象，分析其积极作用与潜在风险，并对比真实友谊的价值。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The language that AI companions use, the responses they make, and the empathy they show can make a user feel as though they truly understand and sympathize.(人工智能伴侣使用的语言、做出的回应以及展现出的同理心，能让用户感觉它们真正理解并同情自己。)”可知，人工智能伴侣使用的语言、做出的回应以及展现出的同理心，能让用户感觉它们真正理解并同情自己。故填The language AI companions use, the responses they make, and the empathy they show. 2．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Then there’s privacy: Wired, drawing on Mozilla’s research, labeled AI companions a “privacy nightmare,” many crawling with data trackers that might control users into thinking a chatbot is their soulmate, encouraging negative or harmful behaviors.(隐私问题同样不容忽视：《连线》杂志援引 Mozilla 的研究称，人工智能伴侣堪称 “隐私噩梦”，其中许多充斥着数据追踪器，这些追踪器可能会诱导用户将聊天机器人视为灵魂伴侣，并助长负面或有害行为。)”可知，许多人工智能伴侣充斥着数据追踪器，这些追踪器可能会操控用户，并助长负面或有害行为。故填Because many AI companions are full of data trackers that might control users and encourage negative or harmful behaviors. 3．细节判断题。根据最后一段中的“if they struggled with collaboration and cooperation, play taught them how to take turns, and how to adjust based on their playmates’ responses.(如果他们在协作和合作方面遇到困难，玩耍会教会他们如何轮流，以及如何根据玩伴的反应进行调整。)”可知，学习协作与合作技能的途径是和真实玩伴玩耍，而非AI聊天机器人。故填The false part is “by playing with their chatbots”. According to the passage, children learn collaboration and cooperation skills through playing with their playmates, not chatbots. 4．开放性试题。我更喜欢现实生活中的朋友。他们能提供真诚的互动，还能让我在挑战中成长，这些都是人工智能伴侣无法替代的，还能帮助我学到真正的社交技能。故填I prefer real-life friends. They offer genuine interactions and growth through challenges, which AI companions can’t replace, helping me learn real social skills. The last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was: “Things are working out for your own good. Just give them some time.” Those words just fueled my anger. Then I read the story of the Chinese bamboo farmer, which gave me a different view on life. The seed of the Chinese bamboo is planted in the ground like every seed. It is watered and fed with nutrients daily, but it shows no immediate physical response and doesn’t appear to grow. The farmer continues to water and feed the seed in year one, year two, and year three. No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. The Chinese bamboo grows to its full capacity within 5 years. Despite not seeing an immediate result, the farmer had trust in what he was doing. He continued to water and feed the plant for four years, because he believed that if he played his own role and did all that a farmer was supposed to do, then he would be given his reward at the right time. That trust and patience is what kept the farmer persistently feeding his seed for four years before enjoying the reward in the end. Life is not always straightforward. Most often, it’s not a matter of 5+5=10 (Sum 1). Life can be more like 2+1+2+0+0+0+1+2+0+0+1+1=10 (Sum 2) Both sums lead to the same result, but through quite different paths and processes. To be mature is to accept that things might look rough right now but the story can still have a great ending. We might live in a microwave generation where everything seems to happen instantly; but many things still obey the laws of nature. Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. 1．What happened to the author in the final year of college? 2．How does the Chinese bamboo grow in the fourth year? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. To overcome difficulties, we need to trust that things will work out and simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. 【答案】1．The author’s government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn. 2．The seed finally breaks through the ground and the bamboo grows ninety feet tall in five weeks. 3．To overcome difficulties, we need to trust that things will work out and simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. According to the passage, to overcome difficulties, we need to do what we are supposed to be doing rather than simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. Or: To overcome difficulties, we need to trust things will work out, have patience and do what we are supposed to be doing. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在困境中了解了中国竹子生长的故事，从中学到了在困境中要坚持做自己应该做的事情，耐心等待好的结果到来的道理。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段“The last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was: “Things are working out for your own good. Just give them some time.”(在我大学的最后一年，当我那份政府资助的奖学金被取消时，我最不想听到的就是：“这是为你好。再等等看。”)”可知，在作者大学最后一年，政府资助的奖学金被撤销。故答案是The author’s government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn. 2．考查细节理解。根据第二段“No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall.(直到第四年，这颗种子才终于破土而出，在此之前毫无生长迹象。之后，仅仅五周时间里，它就长到了九十英尺高。)”可知，在中国竹子生长的第四年，种子终于破土而出，竹子在短短五周内就长到了九十英尺高。故答案是The seed finally breaks through the ground and the bamboo grows ninety feet tall in five weeks. 3．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times.(就像中国竹农那样，坚守本分、保持耐心，相信一切终将顺利，这样就能帮你熬过最艰难的时光。)”可知，为了克服困难，我们需要做我们应该做的事情，像中国竹农一样有耐心，并相信事情会为我们解决，而不是仅仅耐心地等待伟大的结局到来。所以陈述中错误的部分是“simply wait patiently for the great ending to come”，应该划线。故答案是：To overcome difficulties, we need to trust that things will work out and simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. According to the passage, to overcome difficulties, we need to do what we are supposed to be doing rather than simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. Or: To overcome difficulties, we need to trust things will work out, have patience and do what we are supposed to be doing. 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Williams and Smith spend the weeks leading up to Christmas crossing the country. They visit all 50 states, making house calls to kids who are sick or disabled. The pair arrive with plenty of toys and in costume, both of which delight the young recipients. In past years, Williams has dressed up as various super-heroes and other beloved characters — including Spider-Man, Dead pool and the Mandalorian — while Smith dons the attire of a Christmas elf. Though Williams has been spreading joy this way for years, the initial intention to do it came from a joyless place. In 2009, he lost his mother to cancer. “I fell into a five-year depression,” he told Good Morning America. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal: to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions. “He was the first person to put a smile on A’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. “I will never forget that day.” Williams and Smith start their gift-giving trek by driving through the 48 contiguous states before flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by the donations that come through the Future SuperHero website, which is also where people nominate families for the pair to visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. Even more important than the gifts they bring, Williams and Smith spend time with the people who need it the most — and that’s not just the children. “The parents seem more excited than the kids sometimes,” Wiliams told KTVO News after a visit to Billings, Montana, last year. The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they barely get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Smith says. “I can’t go wrong with that.” “I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” 1．What do Williams and Smith do to cheer up those sick or disabled kids? 2．Why did Williams launch his nonprofit? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Williams and Smith get the donations from people who are nominated to visit the pair. 4．How can you bring smiles to others as Williams and Smith do? （In about 40 words） 【答案】1．They make house calls to them, arrive with plenty of toys and in costume. 2．To honor his mother’s memory. / To bring smiles to children with health challenges. 3．Williams and Smith get the donations from people who are nominated to visit the pair. According to the passage, along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by the donations that come through the Future SuperHero website. 141．I can devote time to helping those in need (like sick/disabled kids), prepare small gifts, spend quality time with them and their families, and even start nonprofits or seek donations to sustain such acts of kindness. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Williams和Smith圣诞节前赴全美50州，扮装携玩具探访患病残疾儿童。Williams因丧母抑郁后以慈善纪念母亲，2018年创非营利组织，二人还陪伴家庭，不求报酬只为助人不孤单。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段“The pair arrive with plenty of toys and in costume, both of which delight the young recipients. (他们带着大量的玩具并身着节日服装前往各个家庭，这些都让孩子们欣喜不已。)”可知，威廉姆斯和史密斯会上门拜访这些孩子，带着大量的玩具并身着节日服装前来。故答案为They make house calls to them, arrive with plenty of toys and in costume. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段““I fell into a five-year depression,” he told Good Morning America. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal: to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions. (“我陷入了长达五年的抑郁状态，”他在接受《早安美国》节目采访时说道。但他最终还是摆脱了这种状态，通过一些慈善行为来缅怀母亲，其中包括为有特殊需求的儿童收集礼物。2018 年，威廉姆斯创立了他的非营利组织“未来的超级英雄与朋友们”，目标是为患有健康问题的孩子们带来笑容，包括那些正在与危及生命的疾病作斗争的孩子们。)”可知，威廉姆斯创办这个非营利组织是为了纪念他母亲的在天之灵。/ 为了给患有健康问题的孩子们带去笑容。故答案为To honor his mother’s memory. / To bring smiles to children with health challenges. 3．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by the donations that come through the Future SuperHero website, which is also where people nominate families for the pair to visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. (在这一过程中，他们购买了各种玩具，这些资金来自“未来超级英雄”网站的捐款。该网站也是人们为他们挑选要探访的家庭的平台。但他们有时也会动用威廉姆斯自己的积蓄。)”可知，错误的部分为“from people who are nominated to visit the pair”，根据这篇文章所述，一路上他们会购买一些玩具，这些玩具的资金来源于通过“未来超级英雄”网站所收到的捐款。故答案为Williams and Smith get the donations from people who are nominated to visit the pair. According to the passage, along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by the donations that come through the Future SuperHero website. 4．考查开放题。根据“你怎样才能像威廉姆斯和史密斯那样让他人展露笑容呢？”可回答：我可以投入时间去帮助那些需要帮助的人（比如患病或残疾的孩子），准备一些小礼物，与他们及其家人共度美好时光，甚至可以创办非营利组织或者寻求捐款来维持这种善举。故答案为I can devote time to helping those in need (like sick/disabled kids), prepare small gifts, spend quality time with them and their families, and even start nonprofits or seek donations to sustain such acts of kindness. 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 When Dr. Henderson was assigning project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have fun with. Above all, I prayed he wouldn’t assign me to work with that fiercely competitive, overly serious fellow who always wore dark clothes — his personality seemed to match his attire. But fate had other plans: Dr. Henderson deliberately paired everyone up and announced I’d be working with the very person I’d wanted to avoid. I approached my new teammate to introduce myself, but he looked at me as if I weren’t even there. I felt he saw me as dead weight, someone who might keep him from getting an A．He wasn’t mean, just distant — like he’d fare better tackling the project alone. Needless to say, I dreaded an entire term of being brushed off. But I bit my tongue, trying to make the best of it, afraid of making things worse. The project required developing a hypothesis, designing an experiment, conducting statistical analysis, and presenting findings — with both teammates sharing the final grade. When we met to discuss plans, I felt uneasy. Here was this intense student, known for single - minded focus and top grades — the polar opposite of me. I even thought about dropping the class but held back, not wanting him to see me chicken out. I resolved to stick it out. After lengthy discussions, we settled on studying teenagers’ psychological well-being. I wasn’t sure what that entailed, but at least we had a topic. We met regularly to plan, but I hesitated to share ideas, fearing I’d hold him back. I just nodded when he asked if things were okay this way or that, figuring persuading him was impossible. I started counting the minutes until we could leave — and he seemed to do the same. I just wanted presentation day to come sooner. Then I heard he’d been admitted to the hospital with a serious illness. I felt terrible and knew I had to visit. He looked surprised when I walked into his ward with flowers and fruit. I offered to finish the project, and to my shock, he asked me to share my ideas to improve it. We finally worked as a real team, finishing on time. Our hard work paid off — Dr. Henderson was thrilled with our findings. Through it all, we learned the true value of teamwork. As they say, one person can go fast, but together we can go far. 1．Whom did I expect to work with on the project? 2．What did Dr. Henderson’s assignment involve? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. When he asked if things were okay this way or that, I just nodded because his ideas were rather persuasive. 4．What would you do if you were teamed up with someone you don’t like for a project? （In about 40 words） 【答案】1．My best friend or a classmate I could have fun with. 2．Developing a hypothesis, designing an experiment, conducting statistical analysis, and presenting findings. 3．When he asked if things were okay this way or that, I just nodded because his ideas were rather persuasive. According to the text, the author just nodded not because the teammate’s ideas were persuasive, but because he hesitated to share his own ideas (fearing he’d hold the teammate back) and thought persuading the teammate was impossible. 4．I would prioritize the project goal, communicate respectfully, and divide tasks clearly. Even if personalities clash, focusing on shared responsibilities helps achieve success. Teamwork requires patience and professionalism. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者原本不愿在心理学课项目中与严肃好胜的同学组队，起初相处不安且不敢表达想法。后同学住院，作者主动帮忙，两人最终协作完成项目，还领悟到团队合作的真正价值。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段“When Dr. Henderson was assigning project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have fun with.(当亨德森博士为他的心理学课安排小组成员时，我暗自希望他能把我和我最好的朋友安排在一起，或者至少让我和一个能和我一起玩乐的同学搭档)”可知，作者原本期望与最好的朋友，或者是能一起玩乐的同学一起在这个项目中合作。故答案为My best friend or a classmate I could have fun with. 2．考查细节理解。根据第四段“The project required developing a hypothesis, designing an experiment, conducting statistical analysis, and presenting findings — with both teammates sharing the final grade.(该项目要求先提出假设，设计实验，进行统计分析，并展示研究结果——最终的成绩由团队成员共同评定)”可知，亨德森博士的任务包括提出假设、设计实验、进行统计分析以及展示结果。故答案为Developing a hypothesis, designing an experiment, conducting statistical analysis, and presenting findings. 3．考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段“We met regularly to plan, but I hesitated to share ideas, fearing I’d hold him back. I just nodded when he asked if things were okay this way or that, figuring persuading him was impossible.(我们定期会面来商讨计划，但我却一直不敢分享自己的想法，担心会妨碍到他。每当他询问事情是否这样或那样进行得顺利时，我都会只是点点头，心想说服他根本是不可能的)”可知，根据文中的描述，作者只是点头，并非是因为队友的观点具有说服力，而是因为他自己也犹豫是否要分享自己的想法（担心会阻碍队友的进展），并且认为说服队友是不可能的。故答案为When he asked if things were okay this way or that, I just nodded because his ideas were rather persuasive. According to the text, the author just nodded not because the teammate’s ideas were persuasive, but because he hesitated to share his own ideas (fearing he’d hold the teammate back) and thought persuading the teammate was impossible. 4．考查开放题。根据“如果在一项项目中你被安排与一个你不喜欢的人合作，你会怎么做？”可回答：我会优先考虑项目目标，以尊重的态度进行沟通，并明确划分任务。即便性格不合，只要专注于共同的责任，就能取得成功。团队合作需要耐心和专业精神。故答案为I would prioritize the project goal, communicate respectfully, and divide tasks clearly. Even if personalities clash, focusing on shared responsibilities helps achieve success. Teamwork requires patience and professionalism. 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The Impact of Plastic Pollution on Marine Life Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, threatening marine ecosystems. Marine animals, such as turtles, seabirds, and whales, often mistake plastic debris for food. For example, sea turtles confuse floating plastic bags with jellyfish, which can block their digestive systems and lead to starvation. Similarly, seabirds feed plastic fragments to their chicks, causing long-term health issues. Microplastics — tiny plastic particles from the breakdown of larger items — have spread even to the deepest parts of the ocean. These particles are swallowed by small marine organisms, such as plankton, and eventually reaching humans through seafood. Efforts to deal with this crisis are growing worldwide. Many countries have introduced bans on single-use plastics like straws and bags. Innovations in biodegradable materials, such as plant-based packaging, offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. Community initiatives, including beach cleanups and educational campaigns, raise awareness about responsible waste management. However, experts stress that systemic changes are essential. Improving recycling systems, investing in technologies to collect ocean plastics, and holding companies responsible for excessive plastic production are key steps. Together, these actions can reduce the flow of plastic into our oceans and protect marine life for future generations. 1．What is the estimated amount of plastic waste entering oceans yearly? 2．How do microplastics affect the food chain? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Although plastic pollution affects various marine animals, innovations in biodegradable materials have solved the plastic waste problem. 4．What measures do you think individuals could take to further reduce plastic pollution? (Provide at least two suggestions.) (About 40 words) 【答案】1．Over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year. 2．Microplastics are swallowed by small marine organisms, such as plankton, and eventually reaching humans through seafood. 3．划线部分：Although plastic pollution affects various marine animals, innovations in biodegradable materials have solved the plastic waste problem. 原因：Innovations in biodegradable materials, such as plant-based packaging, offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. 149．Individuals can contribute by adopting simple habits: carrying reusable bottles, avoiding products with unnecessary plastic packaging, and supporting policies that promote sustainability. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕塑料污染这一环境难题展开，阐述其对海洋生物的危害，如海洋动物误食塑料致病、微塑料经食物链影响人类等，还提及全球应对举措与关键解决方向，凸显守护海洋生态的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, threatening marine ecosystems. (每年有超过800万吨的塑料垃圾进入海洋，威胁着海洋生态系统)”可知，每年进入海洋的塑料垃圾估计超过800万吨。故答案为：Over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year. 2．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Microplastics — tiny plastic particles from the breakdown of larger items — have spread even to the deepest parts of the ocean. These particles are swallowed by small marine organisms, such as plankton, and eventually reaching humans through seafood. (微塑料——由较大物品分解而成的微小塑料颗粒——甚至已经扩散到海洋最深处。这些颗粒被浮游生物等小型海洋生物吞食，最终通过海鲜进入人体)”可知，微塑料被浮游生物等小型海洋生物吞下，最终通过海产品到达人类体内，从而影响食物链。故答案为：Microplastics are swallowed by small marine organisms, such as plankton, and eventually reaching humans through seafood. 3．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Innovations in biodegradable materials, such as plant-based packaging, offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. Community initiatives, including beach cleanups and educational campaigns, raise awareness about responsible waste management. However, experts stress that systemic changes are essential. (生物可降解材料的创新，如植物基包装，为传统塑料提供了环保替代品。社区倡议，包括海滩清理和教育活动，提高了对负责任的废物管理的认识。然而，专家强调系统性变革至关重要)”可知，生物可降解材料创新只是提供了替代方案，并没有解决塑料垃圾问题。“Although plastic pollution affects various marine animals, innovations in biodegradable materials have solved the plastic waste problem.(尽管塑料污染影响着各种海洋动物，但生物可降解材料的创新解决了塑料垃圾问题。)”这一表述中have solved the plastic waste problem这部分错误；故答案为：Although plastic pollution affects various marine animals, innovations in biodegradable materials have solved the plastic waste problem.。Innovations in biodegradable materials, such as plant-based packaging, offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. 4．开放性试题。要言之有理，注意词数限制。如，根据第二段“Innovations in biodegradable materials, such as plant-based packaging, offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. Community initiatives, including beach cleanups and educational campaigns, raise awareness about responsible waste management. (生物可降解材料（如植物基包装）方面的创新，为传统塑料提供了环保型替代物。包括海滩清理和教育活动在内的社区倡议，提高了人们对负责任的废物管理的认识)”等可知，从文中应对塑料污染的举措，如减少使用一次性塑料、做好垃圾分类等方面思考个人可采取的行动，比如根据文中提到的减少一次性塑料使用、参与社区环保行动等内容书写，个人可以通过自带环保袋购物、减少使用一次性塑料制品、参与海滩清理等方式减少塑料污染。故答案可以为：Individuals can contribute by adopting simple habits: carrying reusable bottles, avoiding products with unnecessary plastic packaging, and supporting policies that promote sustainability. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
