(这是一本适合5岁以上儿童阅读的完美参考书。)”和“The lively My First Dictionary ($11.21) explains commonly-used words in terms that speak to a child’s personal experience, so it’s easy to understand.( 这本生动活泼的《我的第一本词典》($11.21)解释了与孩子个人经历相关的常用词汇，因此很容易理解。)”可知，如果你想买一本适合6岁男孩的字典，你可以花$11.21购买《我的第一本词典》。故选A。 B My family would describe me as anything but a risk-taker. “Grandma drives faster than you!” my younger son likes to joke with me. So when I announced I was going to step outside my comfort zone and sign up for a self-defense course, my children, my husband, and even my mom were a bit doubtful. A gym near my house was offering two-hour classes including boxing, wrestling and judo. I signed up for it and for the next days I questioned whether yoga would have been a wiser choice. The morning of the class, I pulled up to the gym, grabbed my water bottle along with a bit of courage I brought with me, and walked inside. We learned how to kick and knee someone where it counts and how to strike using the palms of our hands. After the coach showed various escape skills, I found myself questioning my presence in such a setting. However, in the next second, I reminded myself that I had set out this journey to explore the furthest part of my abilities and to challenge the boundary of what I believed I was able to achieve. Before I entered the gym, I never imagined I would have the confidence and courage to throw a blow that could discourage someone twice my size. Almost two years later, I still attend classes. As the oldest female in the class, I push myself to keep up, try harder and, more importantly, not quit. Between increasing my strength and feeling confident about protecting myself (although I hope I never have to test my skills outside of the gym), I’m proud of the risk I took in signing up for the course. I know that defending myself is not about strength, it’s about strategy. At the same time, I’m calmer and less anxious — a benefit my family enjoys. As for my driving, after a recent lunch date, my mom suggested I speed up to at least the speed limit. She didn’t want to be late for her tennis match. 4. How did the author’s family think of her according to Paragraph 1? A. She was dependable. B. She drove fast. C. She liked taking risks. D. She used to enjoy her comfort zone. 5. What does the underlined word “boundary” in the second paragraph mean? A. Limit. B. Honor. C. Aim. D. Record. 6. What contributes to the success of the author? A. Her never giving up. B. Strategies from the classmates. C. Skills from the coach. D. Encouragement from the family. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The training leads to better control in daily life. B. Mom is still worried about the author’s driving ability. C. Calmness gained from training increases mom’s confidence in me. D. Self-defense training prevent the author from arguments with her families. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者走出舒适区，报名参加健身房的课程，在克服困难坚持训练后，不仅增强了体能和自信，还变得更加冷静，并最终获得了家人的认可。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My family would describe me as anything but a risk-taker. “Grandma drives faster than you!” my younger son likes to joke with me. (我的家人会说我绝不是一个爱冒险的人。“奶奶开车都比你快!”我的小儿子喜欢这样跟我开玩笑)”可知，作者的家人认为她习惯待在舒适区内，不喜冒险。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“However, in the next second, I reminded myself that I had set out this journey to explore the furthest part of my abilities and to challenge the boundary of what I believed I was able to achieve. (然而，下一秒，我提醒自己，我开启这段旅程是为了探索自己能力最远的部分，挑战我认为自己所能达到的boundary)”可知，作者参加课程是为了探索自己能力最远的部分，也就是挑战自己能力的“界限，极限”。故划线词boundary意为“界限，极限”，与“Limit”同义。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As the oldest female in the class, I push myself to keep up, try harder and, more importantly, not quit. (作为班上最年长的女性，我督促自己跟上进度，更加努力，更重要的是，不放弃)”可知，作者成功的原因是她永不放弃。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As for my driving, after a recent lunch date, my mom suggested I speed up to at least the speed limit. She didn’t want to be late for her tennis match. (至于我的驾驶，在最近一次午餐约会后，我妈妈建议我至少把车速提到限速。她不想打网球迟到)”可知，母亲对作者驾驶速度的催促暗示她不再像从前那样担心，这体现了训练获得的冷静和自信使母亲对作者的驾驶能力更有信心。故选C项。 C If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 8. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 9. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 10. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The ability to trust others relates to a single gene. B. How trusting you are frees people from disease. C. Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities. D. The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近的一项研究发现，我们对陌生人产生信任的能力或许不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能源于我们的基因，文章对此进行了详细介绍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句到第三句“Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment.(关于为何有些人比其他人更易信任他人，出现了两种主要理论。一种认为信任是一种由早期生活经历塑造的稳定特征。另一种则认为信任受个人对社会环境持续评估的影响)”可知，根据这两种主要理论，社交经历可能会影响人们的信任程度。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第三句到最后一句“In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.(在他们最近的一项研究中，他们对 33882 名丹麦献血者进行了调查。研究发现，有一种名为 PLPP4 的基因与信任他人的性格特征密切相关，并且该基因解释了研究对象群体中社会信任差异的 6%。如果选取两个有着相似教育背景和生活经历的人，仅这一基因就能解释他们对他人信任程度差异的 6%)”可知，这项最近的研究关注的是信任与基因之间的联系。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.(事实上，如果信任他人能起到缓解压力的作用，那么它或许还能降低患心血管疾病的风险)”可知，文章认为信任他人对健康有好处。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.(如果选取两个有着相似教育背景和生活经历的人，仅这一基因因素就足以解释他们之间 6%的信任度差异)”可知，信任他人的能力与一个特定的基因有关。故选A。 D The island of Bali is a very popular vacation spot in Indonesia. Bali has beautiful beaches with white sand and crystal clear waters. But because there are so many tourists, this often means there is an increase of plastic, garbage and waste left on Bali’s beaches. Thankfully, there is now an amazing technological advancement called the BeBot Smart Beach Cleaning Robot, which can take care of this exact problem. The BeBot robot went to market in May of 2025. It operates with very limited human intervention and is solar-powered, making it eco-friendly. The robot collects waste and trash from the beaches very efficiently and quickly. However, these robots are expensive, involving the high maintenance cost in the long run. The local government stresses that the BeBot robot is an innovative and effective tool but the responsibility of environmental protection still lies on people. Every person must be careful with their trash and know how to deal with their waste appropriately and responsibly. The BeBot robot represents more than just clean beaches, which is an important goal in and of itself. It also shows that the people in charge of Bali have sustainability as a goal, and that they care about wasting less. Bali’s waste management strategy is really working, and they have even been able to recently close their biggest open landfill (填埋场), Suwung TPA. In addition to that huge achievement, since the island province began using the robots to clean beaches, Bali has been able to successfully reduce waste in their landfills from 80% to 20%. The trash is now being sorted better, which allows the items to be recycled, reused or processed in more sustainable ways instead. And what’s even more impressive is that they are on track to reduce it down to 5%. The BeBot robot indicates hope, innovation, creativity and efficiency. And if you are ever in Bali and get to see it in action, or even if you see it just on video, remember: People have the ability to live on a cleaner and less wasteful planet. And any challenge can be tackled with a bit of creativity and innovation, one step, or wave, at a time. 12. What is the local government’s attitude towards the use of the BeBot robot in Bali? A. Overly reliant. B. Sensibly supportive. C. Strongly opposed. D. Totally indifferent. 13. What deeper meaning does the BeBot robot hold beyond beach cleaning? A. The potential for complete removal of waste. B. Indonesia’s leadership in robotic technology. C. Bali’s commitment to sustainable waste management. D. The advantage of solar power resources over traditional ones. 14. Which might be one of Bali’s future waste management goals? A. To focus on developing advanced robots. B. To achieve near-zero waste going to landfills. C. To share the waste management technology globally. D. To close the largest landfill for its environment impact. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. BeBot: The Fast Development of Clean Technology B. BeBot: The Link between Tourism and Environment C. BeBot: A Green Hope for Bali’s Waste Problem D. BeBot: The Key to Promoting Bali’s Tourism 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴厘岛为解决海滩垃圾问题引入的BeBot智能海滩清洁机器人，阐述了其特点、当地政府的态度、深层意义以及巴厘岛的垃圾管理成果与未来目标。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The local government stresses that the BeBot robot is an innovative and effective tool but the responsibility of environmental protection still lies on people. (当地政府强调，BeBot机器人是一种创新且有效的工具，但环境保护的责任仍在于人类。)”可知，当地政府既认可BeBot机器人的作用，又明确人类的主体责任，态度是理性支持的。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The BeBot robot represents more than just clean beaches, which is an important goal in and of itself. It also shows that the people in charge of Bali have sustainability as a goal, and that they care about wasting less. (BeBot机器人不仅仅代表着清洁的海滩，这本身就是一个重要目标。它还表明，巴厘岛的管理者将可持续发展作为目标，并且重视减少浪费。)”可知，BeBot机器人除清洁海滩外，更深层的意义是体现了巴厘岛对可持续垃圾管理的承诺。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The trash is now being sorted better, which allows the items to be recycled, reused or processed in more sustainable ways instead. And what’s even more impressive is that they are on track to reduce it down to 5%. (如今垃圾得到了更好的分类，这使得这些物品可以被回收、再利用，或是以更具可持续性的方式进行处理，而非被填埋。更令人印象深刻的是，他们正逐步将它降至5%。)”可知，巴厘岛未来垃圾管理的目标之一是实现近乎零垃圾进入填埋场。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Thankfully, there is now an amazing technological advancement called the BeBot Smart Beach Cleaning Robot, which can take care of this exact problem. (幸运的是，现在有一项名为BeBot智能海滩清洁机器人的惊人技术进步，它可以解决这个问题。)”、第三段“The BeBot robot represents more than just clean beaches, which is an important goal in and of itself. (BeBot机器人不仅仅代表着清洁的海滩，这本身就是一个重要目标。)”以及最后一段“The BeBot robot indicates hope, innovation, creativity and efficiency. (BeBot机器人象征着希望、创新、创造力和效率。)”可知，文章围绕巴厘岛的BeBot智能清洁机器人展开，介绍了它如何解决海滩垃圾问题、助力巴厘岛实现垃圾管理的可持续发展，给当地垃圾问题带来了绿色希望，C选项“BeBot: A Green Hope for Bali’s Waste Problem(BeBot: 巴厘岛垃圾问题的一个绿色希望)”最能概括全文大意，适合作标题。故选C。 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。 Managing Stress in Your First Year of High School Starting high school is a major milestone.

From the time she could walk, she would eagerly run towards the crashing waves, feeling the sand under her feet and the cool sea spray on her face. She had a strong will and a kind heart. Agatha loved the ocean deeply and spent most of her days exploring the beautiful beaches and sparkling waters that surrounded her house. One sunny morning, while walking along the shore, Agatha noticed something unusual. A group of seagulls were circling above the crashing waves and making strange cries. Concerned for their well-being, she followed them, her instinct (本能) guiding her toward danger. As she approached a high cliff (悬崖), Agatha stopped in shock. On a narrow ledge (岩架), high above the rough waves, lay a young dolphin trapped in a thick fishing net. Its shiny body shone under the golden rays of the sun, but the net held it tightly. With each struggle, the net tightened around its delicate body, leaving painful marks on its skin. Its tail moved helplessly, each movement a request for help, while its bitter cries for assistance echoed through the air. A sense of urgency filled her, pushing her forward with determination. Realizing that the time was tight, Agatha knew she had to act immediately to free this poor creature from its difficult position before it became too tired or was swept away by the rising tide. 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。 Paragraph 1: Heart racing, Agatha ran back to the village to get help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was gently released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Version 1 Paragraph 1: Heart racing, Agatha ran back to the village to get help. Her bare feet stepped quickly on the soft sand, and the salty wind brushed her cheeks as she shouted for villagers at the top of her lungs. Several fishermen and young people who were mending nets by the shore immediately noticed her anxious look and followed her without hesitation. They carried thick ropes, sharp knives and simple rescue tools, rushing to the beach where the poor dolphin was trapped. Working together carefully, they cut the messy fishing net bit by bit, afraid of hurting the dolphin’s smooth skin. The dolphin seemed to feel their kindness, staying still and letting out soft, grateful sounds from its mouth. Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was gently released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment. It swam slowly around Agatha and the villagers, its fin waving lightly as if saying thank you. Agatha reached out her hand and touched the dolphin’s warm body softly, with tears of joy shining in her eyes. After circling three times, the dolphin leaped high out of the water, drawing a beautiful arc in the golden sunset, then dived into the blue sea and disappeared gradually. Watching the dolphin swim freely again, Agatha smiled widely, knowing that this warm rescue would be the most unforgettable memory in her whole life because it served as a reminder that the true joy in life came from selflessly giving a hand to those in need. Version 2 Paragraph 1: Heart racing, Agatha ran back to the village to get help. With every fiber of her body trembling with anxiety, she sprinted along the shore, her voice piercing / ripping the quiet seaside air as she cried out for assistance. Upon catching sight of her desperate expression, several experienced fishermen and warm-hearted villagers dropped whatever they were doing and rushed to follow her without a second thought. Armed with sharp knives and sturdy ropes, they approached the trapped dolphin cautiously, cutting the tangled fishing net with the utmost care to avoid injuring its delicate skin. The intelligent creature, sensing their goodwill, remained calm and let out soft, reassuring chirps throughout the rescue. Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was gently released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment. It lingered beside Agatha and the villagers, gliding back and forth in a slow circle as if expressing its sincere gratitude. Agatha stretched out her hand, gently stroking its smooth and warm back, her eyes glistening with tears of relief and joy. Then, with a powerful flick of its tail, it leaped spectacularly into the air, carving a dazzling arc against the golden sunset before diving gracefully into the vast ocean. Watching the dolphin vanish into the blue waves, Agatha’s heart swelled with warmth, cherishing this touching moment as the most precious memory of her life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了住在海边村庄的勇敢善良的年轻女子阿加莎，在海边发现一只被困在悬崖渔网上的小海豚。情况十分危急，阿加莎下定决心，要在海豚精疲力尽或被涨潮冲走之前救下它，体现了她的勇敢、善良以及对海洋和海洋生物的热爱。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“心跳加速，阿加莎跑回村庄求救。”可知，第一段可描写阿加莎寻求帮助以及大家合作救助小海豚的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当海豚被轻轻放回水中时，它犹豫了片刻。”可知，第二段可描写小海豚获救后与阿加莎的互动以及阿加莎的感悟。 2.续写线索：呼喊寻求帮助——村民合力救助小海豚——小海豚获救——阿加莎感到喜悦——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/pay attention to ②修补：mend/repair ③充当：serve as/work as ④帮助某人：give a hand to sb./do sb. a favor 情绪类 ①焦虑的：anxious/restless ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】Several fishermen and young people who were mending nets by the shore immediately noticed her anxious look and followed her without hesitation.（运用了who引导限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Watching the dolphin swim freely again, Agatha smiled widely, knowing that this warm rescue would be the most unforgettable memory in her whole life because it served as a reminder that the true joy in life came from selflessly giving a hand to those in need.（运用了现在分词Watching和knowing作状语，that引导的宾语从句和because引导的原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 阆中中学校2026年春高2025级期中学习质量检测 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

So when I announced I was going to step outside my comfort zone and sign up for a self-defense course, my children, my husband, and even my mom were a bit doubtful. A gym near my house was offering two-hour classes including boxing, wrestling and judo. I signed up for it and for the next days I questioned whether yoga would have been a wiser choice. The morning of the class, I pulled up to the gym, grabbed my water bottle along with a bit of courage I brought with me, and walked inside. We learned how to kick and knee someone where it counts and how to strike using the palms of our hands. After the coach showed various escape skills, I found myself questioning my presence in such a setting. However, in the next second, I reminded myself that I had set out this journey to explore the furthest part of my abilities and to challenge the boundary of what I believed I was able to achieve. Before I entered the gym, I never imagined I would have the confidence and courage to throw a blow that could discourage someone twice my size. Almost two years later, I still attend classes. As the oldest female in the class, I push myself to keep up, try harder and, more importantly, not quit. Between increasing my strength and feeling confident about protecting myself (although I hope I never have to test my skills outside of the gym), I’m proud of the risk I took in signing up for the course. I know that defending myself is not about strength, it’s about strategy. At the same time, I’m calmer and less anxious — a benefit my family enjoys. As for my driving, after a recent lunch date, my mom suggested I speed up to at least the speed limit. She didn’t want to be late for her tennis match. 4. How did the author’s family think of her according to Paragraph 1? A. She was dependable. B. She drove fast. C. She liked taking risks. D. She used to enjoy her comfort zone. 5. What does the underlined word “boundary” in the second paragraph mean? A. Limit. B. Honor. C. Aim. D. Record. 6. What contributes to the success of the author? A. Her never giving up. B. Strategies from the classmates. C. Skills from the coach. D. Encouragement from the family. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The training leads to better control in daily life. B. Mom is still worried about the author’s driving ability. C. Calmness gained from training increases mom’s confidence in me. D. Self-defense training prevent the author from arguments with her families. C If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 8. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 9. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 10. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The ability to trust others relates to a single gene. B. How trusting you are frees people from disease. C. Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities. D. The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response. D The island of Bali is a very popular vacation spot in Indonesia. Bali has beautiful beaches with white sand and crystal clear waters. But because there are so many tourists, this often means there is an increase of plastic, garbage and waste left on Bali’s beaches. Thankfully, there is now an amazing technological advancement called the BeBot Smart Beach Cleaning Robot, which can take care of this exact problem. The BeBot robot went to market in May of 2025. It operates with very limited human intervention and is solar-powered, making it eco-friendly. The robot collects waste and trash from the beaches very efficiently and quickly. However, these robots are expensive, involving the high maintenance cost in the long run. The local government stresses that the BeBot robot is an innovative and effective tool but the responsibility of environmental protection still lies on people. Every person must be careful with their trash and know how to deal with their waste appropriately and responsibly. The BeBot robot represents more than just clean beaches, which is an important goal in and of itself. It also shows that the people in charge of Bali have sustainability as a goal, and that they care about wasting less. Bali’s waste management strategy is really working, and they have even been able to recently close their biggest open landfill (填埋场), Suwung TPA. In addition to that huge achievement, since the island province began using the robots to clean beaches, Bali has been able to successfully reduce waste in their landfills from 80% to 20%. The trash is now being sorted better, which allows the items to be recycled, reused or processed in more sustainable ways instead. And what’s even more impressive is that they are on track to reduce it down to 5%. The BeBot robot indicates hope, innovation, creativity and efficiency. And if you are ever in Bali and get to see it in action, or even if you see it just on video, remember: People have the ability to live on a cleaner and less wasteful planet. And any challenge can be tackled with a bit of creativity and innovation, one step, or wave, at a time. 12. What is the local government’s attitude towards the use of the BeBot robot in Bali? A. Overly reliant. B. Sensibly supportive. C. Strongly opposed. D. Totally indifferent. 13. What deeper meaning does the BeBot robot hold beyond beach cleaning? A.

From the time she could walk, she would eagerly run towards the crashing waves, feeling the sand under her feet and the cool sea spray on her face. She had a strong will and a kind heart. Agatha loved the ocean deeply and spent most of her days exploring the beautiful beaches and sparkling waters that surrounded her house. One sunny morning, while walking along the shore, Agatha noticed something unusual. A group of seagulls were circling above the crashing waves and making strange cries. Concerned for their well-being, she followed them, her instinct (本能) guiding her toward danger. As she approached a high cliff (悬崖), Agatha stopped in shock. On a narrow ledge (岩架), high above the rough waves, lay a young dolphin trapped in a thick fishing net. Its shiny body shone under the golden rays of the sun, but the net held it tightly. With each struggle, the net tightened around its delicate body, leaving painful marks on its skin. Its tail moved helplessly, each movement a request for help, while its bitter cries for assistance echoed through the air. A sense of urgency filled her, pushing her forward with determination. Realizing that the time was tight, Agatha knew she had to act immediately to free this poor creature from its difficult position before it became too tired or was swept away by the rising tide. 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。 Paragraph 1: Heart racing, Agatha ran back to the village to get help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was gently released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
