In many cities, recycling is a common practice. But not everyone knows the whole process. Let's take a look. First, people put plastic bottles into recycling bins. Then, the bottles are collected by special trucks and taken to a recycling center. There, machines sort the bottles by color and type. Next, the bottles are washed and crushed into small pieces. These pieces are melted and made into tiny pellets (颗粒). Finally, the pellets are sent to factories to make new products, such as clothes, bags, and even new bottles. Recycling is not only good for the environment but also saves energy. For example, making new bottles from recycled plastic uses about 70% less energy than making them from raw materials (原材料). However, not all plastic can be recycled. Some types are too difficult to process. That's why it's important to check the recycling symbol on the bottom of a bottle before throwing it away. If you want to help, you can start by reducing your use of plastic. Use a reusable water bottle, say no to plastic straws, and try to buy products with less packaging. Every small action counts. 23. What is the first step in recycling plastic bottles? A. Washing the bottles. B. Crushing the bottles. C. Putting them into recycling bins. D. Sorting them by color and type. 24. How much energy can be saved by making new bottles from recycled plastic? A. About 30%. B. About 50%. C. About 70%. D. About 90%. 25. What should we do to help with plastic recycling? A. Use more plastic straws. B. Buy products with more packaging. C. Use reusable water bottles. D. Throw all plastic into the same bin. B Maya was a 12-year-old girl who loved painting. She spent most of her free time with her brushes and colors. But her parents worried that she was not doing well in school. "You need to study more," her mother said. "Painting is just a hobby." Maya felt sad. She tried to study harder, but she always found herself drawing in the margins (页边) of her notebooks. One day, her art teacher, Ms. Li, saw her paintings and was impressed. "You have a gift," Ms. Li said. "I think you can use your art to express your feelings and even to help others." Ms. Li suggested Maya join a local art club. There, Maya met other young artists. They taught her new techniques and encouraged her to paint what she loved. Maya's confidence grew. She started to paint scenes from her daily life — her family, her school, and the park near her home. A few months later, a hospital asked the art club to paint murals (壁画) in the children's ward (病房). Maya was excited. She worked with others to create bright, cheerful pictures of animals and flowers. The children in the hospital smiled when they saw the murals. Maya felt proud. Her parents finally saw the value of her art. "We were wrong," her father said. "Painting is not just a hobby. It's a way to make a difference." 26. Why did Maya's parents worry about her? A. She spent too much time on painting. B. She didn't like school. C. She was not good at painting. D. She had no friends. 27. What did Ms. Li do for Maya? A. She told Maya to stop painting. B. She encouraged Maya to join an art club. C. She painted with Maya every day. D. She gave Maya a new set of brushes. 28. What did Maya do at the hospital? A. She took care of sick children. B. She painted murals for the children's ward. C. She taught art lessons to doctors. D. She played with the children there. 29. How did Maya's parents change at the end of the story? A. They still thought painting was a waste of time. B. They realized painting could make a difference. C. They asked Maya to stop painting. D. They sent Maya to a new school. C Have you ever heard of "smart mirrors"? A team of scientists in Japan has developed a mirror that can tell if you are healthy. It looks like a normal mirror, but it has a hidden camera and special sensors (传感器). When you stand in front of it, the mirror reads your skin color, the light in your eyes, and even the speed of your heartbeat. Then it uses artificial intelligence (AI) to compare your data with millions of health records. In just a few seconds, it can tell you if you are stressed, tired, or at risk of getting a cold. "We want to make health check-ups as easy as brushing your teeth," said Dr. Tanaka, the leader of the team. "You don't need to go to a hospital every time. You can check your health at home every morning." The smart mirror is not perfect yet. It cannot detect serious diseases like cancer. But the team is working hard to improve it. They believe that within five years, smart mirrors will be common in homes and even in schools. Some people worry about privacy (隐私). "The mirror will collect a lot of personal data," said a user. "How do we know it's safe?" Dr. Tanaka replied, "We are building strong protection systems. The data will only be used for health purposes, and you can choose to share or not." For now, the smart mirror is only available in a few hospitals in Japan. But the team hopes to sell it to the public by 2028. 30. What can the smart mirror NOT do according to the passage? A. Read skin color. B. Detect cancer. C. Measure heartbeat speed. D. Tell if you are tired. 31. How long might it take for smart mirrors to become common in homes? A. One year. B. Three years. C. Five years. D. Ten years. 32. What is one concern people have about the smart mirror? A. It is too expensive. B. It cannot be used at home. C. It might cause privacy problems. D. It takes too long to give results. 33. What can be the best title for this passage? A. The Future of Hospitals B. A Smart Mirror for Health Check C. How to Use Mirrors Properly D. The Danger of AI in Daily Life D We often hear that reading is good for us. But does it really make us smarter? Recent studies show that reading fiction (小说) can actually improve our ability to understand others' feelings and thoughts. This skill is called empathy (同理心). In one study, researchers asked people to read either a fiction story or a non-fiction article. After reading, the participants took a test on empathy. The results showed that those who read fiction scored much higher than those who read non-fiction. The reason, scientists believe, is that fiction allows us to "step into" another person's life and experience their world. Reading fiction is not just about becoming more empathetic. It can also reduce stress and improve memory. When you read a story, your brain creates a mental map of the plot and characters. This exercise keeps your mind active. However, not all reading is the same. Reading on a screen (like a phone or tablet) may be less effective than reading a paper book. The light from screens can make it harder for your brain to fall asleep and to remember the details of a story. So, if you want to be more empathetic and less stressed, consider picking up a paper book. And don't forget to read stories, not just facts. 34. What is the main benefit of reading fiction according to the passage? A. It improves memory. B. It reduces stress. C. It increases empathy. D. It teaches facts. 35. What did the researchers find in the study? A. Non-fiction readers had higher empathy scores. B. Fiction readers had higher empathy scores. C. There was no difference between the two groups. D. The test was not reliable. 36. What does the writer suggest about reading on screens? A. It is better than reading paper books. B. It is just as good as reading paper books. C. It may be less effective than reading paper books. D. It is the only way to read in modern times. 四、还原信息（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandfather was a farmer.
