In 1962.American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring,a book that would change how people viewed nature.It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs.The book caused immediate debate.Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly,as Carson's warnings threatened their established and profitable practices.Despite this opposition,the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed. Carson's deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania,where she explored the woods and streams near her home;This passion led her to study biology,which gave ber the scientifie knowledge she.would later use in her writing. Before Silent Spring,Carson was a marine biologist and writer.She spent four years carefully researching for the book,gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides.She built a strong argument based on data and personal accounts. Knowing her work would be critieized,Carson believed the publie had the right to know the truth.She continued her efforts even while she was sick,and she died in 1964.However, her influenee lived on.Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement,led to the ban of DDT in the U.S.,and made sure her legacy would last as a pioneering environmentalist. 24.Why did ehemical companies campaign against Silent Spring?

D.A book and the lasting impacts of Rachel Carson. It was the summer before junior year.I was a waitress at a little restaurant.My duties were straightforward:taking orders,delivering food and cleaning tables.I got really good at managing multiple tasks,and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible. These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer.They're what teachers mention when they encourage us to get jobs.I developed those skills.But I don't think that's the main benefit high school students get from working. So much happened in the interstitial()time and spaces between our roles as waitresses, cooks and customers.This is where I think the value of a high school job lies:learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known. High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes,and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities.It's not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school.But what I find is that a job can serve as a relief from the academic tasks of high school. This relief came not from avoiding people,but from engaging with a community I would never have found in the halls of my high school.The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends'with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do.They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them,learn from them,and love them. 28.What is commonly believed to be the main benefit teenagers get from work? A.Developing responsibility and skills.B.Learning to form a community. C.Earning money for college. D.Making friends with different people. 29.What does the author say about high school life? A.It is highly school-centered. B.It only focuses on academics. C.It lacks meaningful activities. D.It provides adequate social opportunities. 30.What did the author learn from people at the restaurant? A.Friends should share similar interests. B.Workplace relationships are temporary. C.True friendship requires constant agreement. D.Meaningful connections can bridge differences. 【高二期中考试·英语第4页（共8页）】 26-L-536B CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫播ApP 31.What is the author's main conelusion about her job experience?

D Sharks are dying at staggering rates,primarily due to fishing activities.Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction.While some sharks are intentionally targeted,more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away,contributing significantly to their decline. In response,regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention() bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks.Currently,17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality()rates for eaught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups:smaller sharks,deep-water species,and those requiring constant swimming to breathe.Notably. thresher sharks,hammerheads,and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30%to65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average,this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step.but they must be combined witlt other meseures.These inclade changing fishing gearCfor example,not using steel wires in longline fiahing).protecting key shark habitats(especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up),and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught.Sueh comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover,the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes-such as rays,skates,and ehimaeras.These fishes face similar threats of eatinction,but there are nor enongh studies on how many die due to fishing.The research seanz is now working with international tune organiations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mzres of policies. 32.Whet does the underlined word"staggering"in paragraph i probably mean? A.Sele. B.Sready. C.Alarming.
