"Ordinay spinach plants ca be found everywhere and asy to store.like other plants,they normally take in carbon dioxide gas,"the scientists say."But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them.If we tap into this point,there is a wealth of information to access."That's what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments. For this experiment.the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants Toembed (them into the plants,the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant's leaves.As part of its natural process the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves.If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs,the tiny 2 sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes (which,along with the sensors,were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists,produce a slightly special kind of light.By watching the 风心共页道光 试卷第3页，共7页 Vivo S50 Pro mini 2026.041009:17 河与范依额日四爱中二道 plant constantly using a camera attached to acomputer,the scientists sctupysemcan send a wamning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water.

Then.I wrote a few simple questions on a piece of paper including"Do you want the mural to be cleaned?"After school,I went to the park and asked people these questions.Almost everyone I asked said they loved the mural and wanted it to be saved.Many people told me their own stories about the picture.

Yours sincerely, Li Hua 读后续写 Taking a deep breath,I knocked firmly on the door.Mr.Davis welcomed me in with a smile,and I nervously handed him my collection of proof.I explained how the mural had faded,showed him the photos of the ugly marks,and read the old article about the town's promise.When I shared the survey results-how almost everyone wanted to save it-his eyes lit up."You've done amazing work,"he said happily, patting my shoulder."This mural is part of our town's history,and you've reminded us to keep our promise."He told me he'd apply for the funds right away to restore it. Two weeks later,I stood in front of the restored mural.The colors were bright again-vibrant blues,warm yellows,and vivid greens that made the children in the picture look alive.The ugly marks were gone,and the mural shone like it did in the old article.Many townspeople gathered around,taking photos and sharing stories.Mr. Davis walked over and handed me a small brush."Want to add the final touch?"he asked.As I painted a tiny sunbeam,I felt proud.I'd learned that young people could make a difference-all it took was courage,proof,and love for the community. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者往日回家途中最爱镇上公园的壁 画，可壁画日渐褪色破损，美好记忆遭破坏。他偶然发现小镇曾承诺妥善维护这 幅壁画，却未兑现。受老师话语启发，他拍下壁画破损照片、留存旧文献并做民 意调查收集大家的支持意见，整理好这些证据后，准备向公园经理提出修复壁画 的想法。 【详解】1段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸一口气，用力敲了敲门。”可以预测续写这段主要内 容：作者鼓起勇气向戴维斯先生提交壁画相关证据并说明情况，对方认可其努力， 承诺即刻申请资金修复壁画。 ②由第二段首句内容“两周后，我站在修复一新的壁画前。”可以预测续写这段主 要内容：两周后壁画修复完成重现光彩，居民齐聚，作者受邀添最后一笔，也领 悟到年轻人亦能改变社区的道理 2续写线索：提交壁画相关证据 戴维斯先生承诺修复壁画 壁画重现光彩 —居民齐聚欣赏—作者感悟
