19. Why are people advised to buy locally grown food?
A. To save energy. B. To help local farmers. C. To protect the Earth.
20. What does the speaker mainly talk about?
A. People’s eating habits in human history.
B. The link between food miles and transportation.
C. The meaning and impact of food miles on the environment.
【答案】18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】The concept of “food miles” is a modern idea coined in the 1990s by Professor Tim Lang. The term was first used in a food report by scholar Angela Paxton.
Food miles refer to the distance food travels before reaching consumers. Wild food expert Miles Irving links the increase in food miles to trade globalization.
Generally, the shorter the distance from farm to fork, the better it is for the environment. checking food miles is crucial for protecting the Earth. For instance, air-transported food has a carbon footprint about 50 times larger than that of sea-transported food.
What we eat not only shapes us but also the world around us. Historically, people mainly consumed locally grown food. However, in recent decades, the world has become highly interconnected, and we’ve become used to a wide variety of global foods, which all generate carbon footprints. So, whenever possible, buy food from local farmers and eat seasonal fruits and vegetables.

The afternoon air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the bay, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy (痒) on my skin. Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater.
There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all — my love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.
Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.
But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within were fuel for the next chapter of my life. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water.
That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unearthing of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.
Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation.
24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. My father’s action inspired me. B. I once suffered from memory loss.
C. My envy prevented me from diving. D. The bay was where I learned swimming.
25. The author avoided swimming for seven years because of ______ .
A. pressure from independence B. treatment for mental illness
C. inconvenience of making up D. insecurity about appearance
26. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving?
A. Hesitant and fearful. B. Restless but joyful.
C. Proud and contented. D. Afraid but resolute.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. Do not judge a book by its cover. B. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift.
C Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B

Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes (糖尿病) from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar.
A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect changes in glucose (葡萄糖) levels without the need to draw blood several times a day.
The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers. The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features or characteristics including how long it takes for them to return to the device.
Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85 percent as accurate as traditional, invasive (穿刺式的) blood analysis.
“The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.”
Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging. The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power.
The data analyzed by AI is now sent wirelessly to computers, but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate.
“I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.”
28. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. The radar-reflected wave analysis process.
B. The high-frequency wave transmission technique.
C. The machine-learning-powered glucose detection.
D. The technical principle underlying the system.
29. What do Shaker’s words in paragraph 5 suggest?
A. The traditional blood analysis’s accuracy is emphasized.
B. The radar technology’s limitations are noticed.
C. The volunteers’ test performance was highlighted.
D. The radar system’s practicality is proven.
30. What does the follow-up study focus on?
A. Improving skin-based glucose quantification.
B. Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology.
C. Developing smartwatches for AI analysis.
D. Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly.
31. What is Shaker’s attitude toward the research?
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】

Have you ever wondered what happens to that single-use plastic bottle after you place it in a recycling bin? Most people assume it’ll be recycled, sooner or later. Unfortunately, the reality is far more complex. More often than not, that bottle starts a long and tough global journey, frequently ending up in other countries.
Under ideal circumstances, it’s cleaned, sorted and broken down into small pieces to produce new items like packaging. If it is packaging itself that has been thrown, it’ll probably end up as a form of fuel. In other situations, however, it is shipped to landfills in developing regions, potentially polluting soil and water, endangering wildlife, and perhaps even finding its way back into your home through the global fish trade.
In his book Waste Wars, journalist Alexander Clapp follows rubbish, travelling to some of the world’s most unpleasant places. There, he documents villages buried under mountains of imported plastic, and areas where workers take apart electronic waste from developed nations to extract valuable metals. Through these accounts, he reveals the global trade in waste and various influences it brings. While some waste trades are beneficial-such as China’s past use of imported plastic as industrial raw materials, or Turkey’s change of scrap metal into highways and skyscrapers—many shipments contain non-recyclable materials, causing serious problems.
The Basel Convention, which came into effect in 1992, dealt with the shipment of dangerous waste but left plenty of loopholes (漏洞). Thus, many countries have been trying to stop waste imports ever since. In 2017, China, once one of the largest importers of plastic waste for recycling, banned such imports. Similar bans in Thailand and Indonesia went into effect this year.
Then, what is to be done?
There is no easy solution! Producers are required to take more responsibility for what they make. However, balancing environmental and economic goals remains constantly difficult, especially given varied national conditions. Greater global awareness and cooperation are therefore extremely important to tackle this pressing issue.
32. What can be inferred from the generally-believed way of plastic bottle recycling?
A. It is more idealistic than practical. B. It is far from complex and tough.
C. It lives up to people’s expectations. D. It reflects the actual process of recycling.
33. What is the BEST possible result for a recycled plastic bottle?
A. Buried in landfills. B. Used as factory fuel.
C. Turned into new packaging. D. Shipped to another country.
34. Why is Clapp’s book Waste Wars mentioned?
A. To criticize international waste shipment. B. To illustrate the global waste trade’s impacts.
C. To showcase recycling is seldom successful. D. To promote the economic benefits of waste.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote the book Waste Wars by Alexander Clapp.
B. To appeal to the public to raise their environmental awareness.
C. To indicate how recycling systems work in different countries.
D. To reveal challenges and complexities of global waste recycling.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D

The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation
For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work, flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation. Kevin Droniak says he is “addicted” to 24-hour travel.
Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok. ____36____ Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning. “I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn’t on your side,” said Droniak, 28. Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared. ____37____
Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan. ____38____ On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. ____39____ Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting, but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure.
“I know it’s not for everyone, but, for me, I love just sitting on a plane, so flying is part of the fun. It’s also helpful that I can sleep upright,” he said.

A. You shouldn’t over-plan your trip.
B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.
C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.
D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.
E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.

G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.
【答案】36. G 37. B 38. E 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕“24小时一日游旅行”展开,介绍了博主Kevin Droniak对这种旅行方式的实践与看法,并分析了其背后的社会心理。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok.(Droniak是一名内容创作者,他在TikTok上记录了十几次从纽约出发的旅行)”及下文“Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning.(通常,它包括一个清晨的航班,一段时间探索一个城市或一个特定的景点,然后在晚上或第二天早上离开)”可知,前文提到Droniak作为一名博主,在TikTok记录了十几次从纽约出发的旅行,后文直接描述了他的典型行程,由此可知,G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.(在这些旅行中,他通常坚持“24小时旋风式打卡”的模式)符合语境,既承接前文“记录旅行”,又为后文他的具体描述做铺垫。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared.(快节奏的旅行和24小时旅行比社交媒体和病毒式传播更早出现。然而,这种硬核风格的旅行迎合了我们现代人对快速、有影响力的体验的渴望,这种体验很容易被记录和分享)”可知,指出高强度快节奏旅行符合现代人对快速体验的渴望。由此可知,B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.(这是旅行版的即时满足)符合语境。故选B项。
38题详解】
根据上文“Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan.(Droniak说,坐飞机一日游的关键是不要过度计划)”及下文“On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. (例如,在一次去波多黎各的旅行中,他的目标只是去海滩。在开罗(是的,Droniak离开纽约在那里待了一天),他唯一的目标就是看金字塔)”可知,前文强调“一日游的关键是不过度计划”,后面举出实例解释一次只有一个目标。由此可知,E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.(这意味着每个地方只有一个“动机”)符合语境。故选E项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. (例如,在一次去波多黎各的旅行中,他的目标只是去海滩。在开罗(是的,Droniak离开纽约在那里待了一天),他唯一的目标就是看金字塔)”可知,前文举了两个例子证明他每次只有一个旅行目标。由此可知,D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.(在巴黎,他的目的是参观埃菲尔铁塔)符合语境,又举了例子证实一次只有一个动机。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house.(飞到任何地方进行一日游的想法是不可想象的,但德龙尼亚克认为,最有价值的经历是那些让你完全走出家门的经历)”及空后“Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again(因为它让人们有可能再次体验到孩子般的惊奇感)”可知,德龙尼亚克认为能让人走出家门看世界的经历都是值得的,后文解释这样可以重获孩童般的好奇。由此可知,C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.(即使是短途旅行也比待在家里好)即使是短途旅行也能获得好处,符合语境。故选C项。

64. what 65. to breathe
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了故宫博物院专家对历经数个世纪风雨的匾额进行修复的工作情况。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国故宫博物院,专家们正忙于修复一块历经数个世纪风雨侵蚀的匾额。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰a plaque,a plaque与weather(使受风吹雨打;侵蚀)之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词weathered。故填weathered。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:据该团队副组长马越介绍,这幅书法作品由承载墨水的丝绸层和支撑它的纸张层组成。此处表示并列关系,连接两个名词短语“a silk layer carrying the ink”和“a paper layer supporting it”,所以用连词and。故填and。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:技术手段发挥了作用,帮助专家们分析古人使用的墨水和丝绸的成分,并寻找历史上一致的材料。句子已有谓语动词come,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,Technological methods与help之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词helping。故填helping。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:马越说,对于一些磨损严重的部分,他们用数字技术制作了复制品,而修复后的原件将被存放起来。此处修饰形容词worn,应用副词形式,severe的副词为severely,意为“严重地”。故填severely。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对于古代书画,装裱方法和修复技术是一项国家级非物质文化遗产。此处泛指“一项国家级非物质文化遗产”,第一次提到,用不定冠词修饰。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:加入我们团队的各个专业的毕业生必须在他们师傅的指导下训练三年,磨炼他们的装裱和修复技能。under one's guidance为固定短语,意为“在某人的指导下”,所以用介词under。故填under。
【62题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:我们的修复人员就是这样培养出来的。句子主语our restorers与cultivate之间是被动关系,且根据语境,此处描述的是一般情况,应用一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”,主语是复数,所以用are cultivated。故填are cultivated。
【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:近年来,更多年轻的专业人士加入了博物馆的修复团队,包括34岁来自金属文物组的金大钊。根据语境,此处表示“专业人士”,应用名词形式professional,且由more可知,应用复数形式professionals。故填professionals。
【64题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:金认为,修复文物不仅仅是修补破损的东西,而是延续人类创造力和记忆的链条。此处为宾语从句,作mending的宾语,从句中缺少主语,且指物,所以用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他补充道:“通过每一次仔细的笔触和打磨,我们让历史再次焕发生机。”enable sb./sth. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“使某人/某物能够做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式to breathe。故填to breathe。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The gray sky pressed down as Ron walked home, his backpack heavy—this week had been full of letdowns. On Tuesday, his dad sat him at the kitchen table, voice tight, to say he’d lost his job. The air felt thick, like no one dared breathe. Wednesday, Mom frowned, holding the rent notice, “It’s going up next month.” Ron stared at his shoes, knowing savings were thin. By Friday, a crumpled (皱巴巴的) invitation from Ella—his bright Climbing Club friend—fell from his textbook. He wanted to go to her birthday party, but showing up empty-handed made his throat tight. He had almost no allowance (零花钱) left; what could he buy?
That afternoon, a wind blew a “Second-Hand Book Sale” flyer at him, which led Ron to the library stand. There he saw varieties of books smelling of old paper. Two caught his eye: a red cookbook and a women’s explorers’ book with soft covers. Ella loved hiking and once mentioned her grandma teaching her to bake. “She’d like these,” he whispered, but doubted-would she think second-hand books cheap? Then he remembered her old water bottle and “recycling’s caring for others’ loved stuff.” He used his last dollar, and left with the two books under his arm, feeling less upset.
Saturday’s party was beautifully decorated and full of sweet cake smell. Ron lingered (徘徊) by the door for a minute, watching Ella laugh as she opened a new jacket from her cousin. Finally when he handed his wrapped books, he murmured, “Happy birthday!” Ella paused, and Ron’s heart skipped a beat—did she hate it? He bit his lip, ready to apologize, but she just looked up at him, her smile soft. “Thanks, Ron,” she said, but didn’t say more. Ron tried to enjoy the party, but a little worry hung over him all night.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Home later, his laptop dinged—it was Ella’s email.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reading the email, Ron felt a stone off his heart.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para.1 Version 1
Home later, his laptop dinged—it was Ella’s email. She wrote that Ron’s gift was the best one she had gotten, saying she had stayed up reading the explorers’ book, which made her feel she could go anywhere. She mentioned that Grandma and she would bake cookies with the cookbook the next day. She added the pages were so soft, feeling like someone had already loved the book, and that they got to love it too. Finally, she thanked Ron for giving her something that was not just a gift but something she would use and remember forever.
Para.1 Version 2
Home later, his laptop dinged—it was Ella’s email. She wrote, “I had to email you right away—your gift is the best one I got. I stayed up reading the explorers’ book—it makes me feel I can go anywhere. Grandma and I went through the cookbook; we’ll bake cookies tomorrow. The pages are so soft, feeling like someone already loved it, and now we get to love it too. Thank you for giving me something that’s not just a gift—it’s something I’ll use, and remember, forever.”
Para.2
Reading the email, Ron felt a stone off his heart. He grinned so wide that his cheeks felt warm. Outside, the sky cleared, with a few stars twinkling softly like little sparks of joy. He thought about how a small, thoughtful gift could turn a tough week around. For the first time all week, he felt light—like he’d given something that mattered, not just a thing but a piece of care. And that, he thought, was better than any fancy gift in the world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。主要介绍了家境拮据的Ron用最后一美元买两本旧书送给酷爱徒步的Ella,担忧“二手=寒酸”,最终却收获真诚感谢,实现“善意与共鸣”的暖心反转。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由首句“回到家后,他的笔记本电脑“叮”了一声——是Ella发来的邮件。”可知,首段应写“邮件内容+细节”,用Ella的兴奋与具体使用场景证明礼物被珍视。
② 由第二句“读完邮件,罗恩心里的一块石头终于落了地。”可知,次段需“外化轻松”——描述天空放晴、星星闪烁等景象,说明内心轻盈与自豪感。
2. 续写线索:家庭拮据→收到朋友生日派对邀请,不知道送什么礼物→心情忐忑地送一本二手书→屏息等待→邮件爆赞→释然
3. 词汇激活
行为类
① 熬夜:stay up/burn the midnight oil
② 感受:feel like/sense that
③ 感谢:thank/appreciate
情绪类
① 笑:grin/beam
② 开心:joy/delight
③ 体贴的:thoughtful/considerate
【点睛】【高级句型1】Finally, she thanked Ron for giving her something that was not just a gift but something she would use and remember forever. (运用了that引导的定语从句)
【高级句型2】Outside, the sky cleared, with a few stars twinkling softly like little sparks of joy. (运用了with的复合结构)

The afternoon air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the bay, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy (痒) on my skin. Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater.
There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all — my love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.
Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.
But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within were fuel for the next chapter of my life. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water.
That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unearthing of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.
Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation.
24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. My father’s action inspired me. B. I once suffered from memory loss.
C. My envy prevented me from diving. D. The bay was where I learned swimming.
25. The author avoided swimming for seven years because of ______ .
A. pressure from independence B. treatment for mental illness
C. inconvenience of making up D. insecurity about appearance
26. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving?
A. Hesitant and fearful. B. Restless but joyful.
C. Proud and contented. D. Afraid but resolute.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. Do not judge a book by its cover. B. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift.
C. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
C
Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes (糖尿病) from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar.
A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect changes in glucose (葡萄糖) levels without the need to draw blood several times a day.
The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers. The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features or characteristics including how long it takes for them to return to the device.
Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85 percent as accurate as traditional, invasive (穿刺式的) blood analysis.
“The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.”
Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging. The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power.
The data analyzed by AI is now sent wirelessly to computers, but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate.
“I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.”
28. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. The radar-reflected wave analysis process.
B. The high-frequency wave transmission technique.
C. The machine-learning-powered glucose detection.
D. The technical principle underlying the system.
29. What do Shaker’s words in paragraph 5 suggest?
A. The traditional blood analysis’s accuracy is emphasized.
B. The radar technology’s limitations are noticed.
C. The volunteers’ test performance was highlighted.
D. The radar system’s practicality is proven.
30. What does the follow-up study focus on?
A. Improving skin-based glucose quantification.
B. Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology.
C. Developing smartwatches for AI analysis.
D. Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly.
31. What is Shaker’s attitude toward the research?
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
D
Have you ever wondered what happens to that single-use plastic bottle after you place it in a recycling bin? Most people assume it’ll be recycled, sooner or later. Unfortunately, the reality is far more complex. More often than not, that bottle starts a long and tough global journey, frequently ending up in other countries.
Under ideal circumstances, it’s cleaned, sorted and broken down into small pieces to produce new items like packaging. If it is packaging itself that has been thrown, it’ll probably end up as a form of fuel. In other situations, however, it is shipped to landfills in developing regions, potentially polluting soil and water, endangering wildlife, and perhaps even finding its way back into your home through the global fish trade.
In his book Waste Wars, journalist Alexander Clapp follows rubbish, travelling to some of the world’s most unpleasant places. There, he documents villages buried under mountains of imported plastic, and areas where workers take apart electronic waste from developed nations to extract valuable metals. Through these accounts, he reveals the global trade in waste and various influences it brings. While some waste trades are beneficial-such as China’s past use of imported plastic as industrial raw materials, or Turkey’s change of scrap metal into highways and skyscrapers—many shipments contain non-recyclable materials, causing serious problems.
The Basel Convention, which came into effect in 1992, dealt with the shipment of dangerous waste but left plenty of loopholes (漏洞). Thus, many countries have been trying to stop waste imports ever since. In 2017, China, once one of the largest importers of plastic waste for recycling, banned such imports. Similar bans in Thailand and Indonesia went into effect this year.
Then, what is to be done?
There is no easy solution! Producers are required to take more responsibility for what they make. However balancing environmental and economic goals remains constantly difficult, especially given varied national conditions. Greater global awareness and cooperation are therefore extremely important to tackle this pressing issue.
32. What can be inferred from the generally-believed way of plastic bottle recycling?
A. It is more idealistic than practical. B. It is far from complex and tough.
C. It lives up to people’s expectations. D. It reflects the actual process of recycling.
33. What is the BEST possible result for a recycled plastic bottle?
A. Buried in landfills. B. Used as factory fuel.
C. Turned into new packaging. D. Shipped to another country.
34. Why is Clapp’s book Waste Wars mentioned?
A. To criticize international waste shipment. B. To illustrate the global waste trade’s impacts.
C. To showcase recycling is seldom successful. D. To promote the economic benefits of waste.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote the book Waste Wars by Alexander Clapp.
B. To appeal to the public to raise their environmental awareness.
C. To indicate how recycling systems work in different countries.
D. To reveal challenges and complexities of global waste recycling.

The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation
For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work, flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation. Kevin Droniak says he is “addicted” to 24-hour travel.
Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok. ____36____ Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning. “I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn’t on your side,” said Droniak, 28. Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared. ____37____
Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan. ____38____ On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. ____39____ Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting, but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure.
“I know it’s not for everyone, but, for me, I love just sitting on a plane, so flying is part of the fun. It’s also helpful that I can sleep upright,” he said. The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house. “____40____ Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again,” he said.
A. You shouldn’t over-plan your trip.
B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.
C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.
D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.
E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.
F. 24-hour travel is not a new idea and has been popular since it appeared.
G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The gray sky pressed down as Ron walked home, his backpack heavy—this week had been full of letdowns. On Tuesday, his dad sat him at the kitchen table, voice tight, to say he’d lost his job. The air felt thick, like no one dared breathe. Wednesday, Mom frowned, holding the rent notice, “It’s going up next month.” Ron stared at his shoes, knowing savings were thin. By Friday, a crumpled (皱巴巴的) invitation from Ella—his bright Climbing Club friend—fell from his textbook. He wanted to go to her birthday party, but showing up empty-handed made his throat tight. He had almost no allowance (零花钱) left; what could he buy?
That afternoon, a wind blew a “Second-Hand Book Sale” flyer at him, which led Ron to the library stand. There he saw varieties of books smelling of old paper. Two caught his eye: a red cookbook and a women’s explorers’ book with soft covers. Ella loved hiking and once mentioned her grandma teaching her to bake. “She’d like these,” he whispered, but doubted-would she think second-hand books cheap? Then he remembered her old water bottle and “recycling’s caring for others’ loved stuff.” He used his last dollar, and left with the two books under his arm, feeling less upset.
Saturday’s party was beautifully decorated and full of sweet cake smell. Ron lingered (徘徊) by the door for a minute, watching Ella laugh as she opened a new jacket from her cousin. Finally when he handed his wrapped books, he murmured, “Happy birthday!” Ella paused, and Ron’s heart skipped a beat—did she hate it? He bit his lip, ready to apologize, but she just looked up at him, her smile soft. “Thanks, Ron,” she said, but didn’t say more. Ron tried to enjoy the party, but a little worry hung over him all night.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Home later, his laptop dinged—it was Ella’s email.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reading the email, Ron felt a stone off his heart.
