In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. IT was discovered both by an englishman and an american in the same year. But IT was the american who first developed IT on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because I was so cheap. Poor workers were able to buy plastic colors. These plastic colors were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children are now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily. And when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What's worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down. So IT causes serious pollution. We now use the term White pollution to refer to plastic pollution. This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago.

Inkstones Inkstones,used for grinding ink,were originally simple pottery tools.Later,they became artistic objects carved from stone that reflect the taste and status of their owners.The choice of inkstone is important as it can affect the quality and texture of the ink,further enhancing the artistic expression in calligraphy (and painting.The most famous inkstone,"Duan Inkstone",is produced in Zhaoqing,Guangdong Province.

This year,a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever.I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion().Doctors couldn't directly link these problems to fried chicken,but I noticed that every time I ate it,my discomfort worsened.Additionally,I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy,greasy()feeling in my mouth that I couldn't ignore.One evening,after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken,I felt so sick that I couldn't sleep well all night.That was the turning point.I decided that enough was enough. Why was it so hard to let go before?Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there's no official "fried chicken addiction"listed in medical books,experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure.Dr.Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons:the high-fat content and the combination of spices.The high-fat content makes the brain release "happy chemicals"(endorphins),making us feel good,while the unique spices excite our taste buds,making us want more. Now,I'm on Day 35 of my "fried-chicken-free"journey.The first week was tough.I had strong cravings()and even felt a bit down at times.But as the days passed,I started to feel better.My stomach problems became less frequent,and I even noticed that I had more energy.I'm really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit.If I can overcome( my love for fried chicken,I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 【高二英语第3页（共8页）】 6275B 24.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?

C A series of wildfires broke out in southern California,killing dozens of people.The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone(容易起火的)areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick,orange smoke.Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer.Here's what makes wildfire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees burns,it releases CO2,water,heat and,depending on the available fuel,various chemicals and particles().Those tiny particles,which float in the air,can include metals,dust and more.If they're smaller than 2.5 micrometres in diameter ()they can get through our body's natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs,causing many health problems.Such particles,called PM2.5,is a common pollutant.It's also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants.But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body. When a fire breaks out in an urban area,it destroys homes,offices,cars and other facilities.In other words,more stuff is burned.Paints,metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals.A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What's worse,over time,the smoke is exposed to sunlight.The radiation (can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants.Then,as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities,it can mix with even more local pollution.

With proper design,even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits. A primary barrier()is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, along with difficulty in using high-tech tools,such as smart phones or computers.This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology.This is a mistake.Older people themselves must decide whether they want to accept new technology or miss out on its advantages. Indeed,technology-particularly through platforms like social media-offers seniors invaluable opportunities:connecting with new friends,staying in touch with old ones and learning new skills.When seniors do adopt technology,the reasons are typically twofold: they're forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier.Understanding these motivations is important for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults. Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life,some seniors resist(), arguing,"I managed before without technology.Why do I need it now?"Furthermore, frustration(沮丧)is common.“It's not working.”is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father,especially when it came to his cell phone,and he used technology well for the most part.Specific issues,such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts(字体)，were constant sources of difficulty. Addressing these issues requires better technology design made for seniors.Older users prefer simple and clear web pages.A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface().As the study showed,"A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users."Although the study was conducted years ago,the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today,showing the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions. 32.Why do older people hesitate to accept new techs? A.They have limited access to digital devices. B.They find hi-tech products challenging to operate. C.They have a negative attitude towards all new technologies. D.They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital tools. 33.What can we learn from the example of Lucia's father? A.Seniors can't understand the text messages they receive. B.Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone. C.Seniors often feel upset when using new technologies. D.Seniors always face the breakdown of smart phones. 34.What might be discussed in the next paragraph? A.Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technologies. B.User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems. C.Further studies related to seniors'dissatisfaction with hi-techs. D.Effective ways for web designers to simplify website interfaces. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Bridging the Tech Gap:Designing Senior-Friendly Technology B.To Say Yes to the Smart Phone:A Beautiful Mistake C.To Use or Not to Use:A Technological Barrier D.Unlocking Benefits:Why Seniors Need Technology? 【高二英语第5页（共8页）】 6275B 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to Work with Different Cultures Working effectively with different cultures is a necessary skill for anyone in a culturally diverse work environment.Cultural variations in the workplace may range from simple regional differences,such as varying dialects(),to different viewpoints on timeliness, efficiency,and communication.36 Be aware of your words and actions.What seems proper to you may not be a cultural standard to another person.37 Is what you're about to say possibly rude?If so,figure out a way to express it differently.Before you give someone at work a high five or a pat on the back,take a moment to consider your actions.Based on what you know about that culture,is touching in the workplace proper?

A.An important way is trying to be humorous. B.A good rule is to consider your words before you speak. C.Learning to communicate better helps you work with people.
