The film stars Garfield as Doss, and is directed by Mel Gibson. The film is based on the 2004 documentary. The Conscientious Objector produced by Terry Benedict. When he was just 10 years old, he first knew about Doss. After becoming a filmmaker, Benedict approached Doss, encouraging him to tell his story. Hollywood had been knocking on Doss's door for many years, but Doss wasn't interested. “He didn't want to mention his life in the war,” Benedict explains. But when Benedict insisted on making a documentary about his life, Doss finally agreed. Then Benedict spent the next three years interviewing Doss and his fellow soldiers in World War Ⅱ. Not long after the documentary's debut, Benedict met with the then president of the 20th Century Fox. The two wanted to make Doss's story into a film, Hacksaw Ridge. Then Gibson signed on to direct. Benedict shared his knowledge of Doss with the director and the leading actor Garfield. Benedict took Garfield on a road trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee where Doss lived most of his adult life. In the film Hacksaw Ridge, in a hard-fought battle in Okinawa, Doss repeatedly ran into the land controlled by the enemies to rescue friends and get them down the hill to safety. Even when the rest of his troop abandoned the battlefield, Doss stayed, searching for survivors and pulling his tired body to get as many of his men home as he could. “Doss was a very consistent man of faith. He was a rock,” Benedict says, “He was the same in the war. He was the same all the way up until the day he died. He set us a good example.” 4. What can we know about Benedict? A. He got great admiration from Doss. B. He shared common experiences with Doss. C. He was interested in Doss's experience in the war. D. He became famous after making The Conscientious Objector. 5. What's Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The introduction to Doss's birthplace. B. The preparation for filming Hacksaw Ridge C. The description of details in Hacksaw Ridge. D. The way of instructing Garfield in performance. 6. What does the description of the battle in Okinawa tend to show? A. Doss's suffering from his bad injuries. B. Doss's courage and love for his teammates. C. Doss's disappointment at his troop's quitting. D. Doss's excellent skills in fighting against the enemies. 7. What was Benedict's wish for people according to the last paragraph? A. Learning Doss's spirit. B. Guarding against wars. C. Avoiding violent conflict. D. Having faith in themselves. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了制片人Terry Benedict因为对二战英雄Desmond Doss的经历感兴趣，而拍摄了电影《血战钢锯岭》的经过。介绍了Doss的一些个人经历，赞扬了他的高尚品德。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“After becoming a filmmaker, Benedict approached Doss, encouraging him to tell his story. (当上制片人后，Benedict找到Doss，鼓励他讲述自己的故事)”可知，Benedict对Doss的战争经历很感兴趣。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Not long after the documentary's debut, Benedict met with the then president of the 20th Century Fox. The two wanted to make Doss's story into a film, Hacksaw Ridge. Then Gibson signed on to direct. Benedict shared his knowledge of Doss with the director and the leading actor Garfield. Benedict took Garfield on a road trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee where Doss lived most of his adult life. (在这部纪录片首映后不久，Benedict会见了当时20世纪福克斯公司的总裁，两人想把多斯的故事拍成电影《血战钢锯岭》，然后Gibson签约担任导演，Benedict与导演兼主演Garfield分享了他对Doss的了解，Benedict带着Garfield去了田纳西州的查塔努加，Doss在那里度过了他成年后的大部分时光)”可知，第三段主要讲了为拍摄《血战钢锯岭》做的准备。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In the film Hacksaw Ridge, in a hard-fought battle in Okinawa, Doss repeatedly ran into the land controlled by the enemies to rescue friends and get them down the hill to safety. Even when the rest of his troop abandoned the battlefield, Doss stayed, searching for survivors and pulling his tired body to get as many of his men home as he could. (在电影《血战钢锯岭》中，在冲绳岛的一场激战中，Doss多次跑到敌人控制的土地上营救朋友，并将他们带下山。甚至在他的部队都放弃了战场的时候，Doss还留在那里，寻找幸存者，拖着疲惫的身体尽可能多地把他的士兵带回家)”可推知，对冲绳战役的描述是为了表明Doss对队友的勇气和爱。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Doss was a very consistent man of faith. He was a rock,” Benedict says, “He was the same in the war. He was the same all the way up until the day he died. He set us a good example.”(Benedict说：“Doss是一个始终如一的有信仰的人。他是一块磐石，他在战争中也是这样。他一直到死都是一样的。他给我们树立了一个好榜样。”)”可推知，Benedict希望人们学习Doss的精神。故选A。 C In 2019, the multimillionaire and explorer Victor Vescovo made headlines when he became the first person to visit the deepest parts of all five of Earth’s oceans. But arguably the real star of the expedition was marine geologist Cassie Bongiovanni, the lead ocean mapper who ensured Vescovo piloted his submersible to the actual deepest depths. Today, only 25 percent of the seafloor is well mapped. “Traditionally, captains never cared about the seafloor as long as it stayed far enough away from the hulls of their ships,” journalist Laura Trethewey writes in The Deepest Map. The book explores humankind’s quest to map the seafloor, framed around Bongiovanni’s adventures. Seafloor topography has been a big concern for companies facilitating intercontinental communication via subsea cables. In recent decades, seafloor data have become crucial to the deep-sea mining industries searching for metals needed to produce green technology. Satellites have revealed many of the knob sand cracks visible in the deep blue of Google Maps. But with that relatively coarse information, entire mountains can be missed. To see the seafloor in high resolution requires a sophisticated sonar system aboard a big ship that sends sound signals from the sea surface into the abyss (深渊)。 Mappers like Bongiovanni calculate depth from the time it takes for the signal to travel down and bounce back to the surface. These state-of-the-art sonar systems transform the satellite-predicted blur into a sharp three-dimensional terrain of ripples, cracks and tears in the seafloor. “The seafloor is ‘heard’, rather than seen,” Trethewey writes. Trethewey’s insightful writing helps readers understand just why mapping the ocean — even in shallow coastal waters — is crucial to so many endeavors. Trethewey’s book is about more than just mapping the oceans. It’s also about what can go wrong when explorers explore. It’s hard to read The Deepest Map without being reminded of the recent inner explosion of the Titan submersible (能潜水的) in the North Atlantic that killed everyone on board in June, 2023. She also reminds us how easily exploration can turn into exploitation. In the not-so-distant past, Europeans “discovered” the so-called New World and mapped it, Trethewey writes. Exploitation followed. Scientists and environmentalists alike are now concerned that a full, detailed map of the ocean floor might lead to the destruction of delicate, mostly unknown habitats if deep-sea miners are allowed to extract metals. 8. What do the first three paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The writing background of the book. B. The achievement of the geologist. C. The production of green technology. D. The significance of mapping seafloor. 9. How do the mappers figure out the depth of the sea floor? A. They directly measure the depth. B. They count the time of the signal to travel. C. They analyze the sound waves from the sonar system. D. They take a close look at the pictures taken by the satellite. 10. Why does the author mention the accident in 2023? A. To present the value of the book. B. To remind the readers of the past news. C. To show the bad effect of human activities. D. To recommend the readers to read the book. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. It’s a disaster to map the floor. B. It’s easy to explore the deep sea. C. Sea miners can make a fortune in the future. D. Scientists are cautious about charting the ocean. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了海洋地质学家Cassie Bongiovanni在海底测绘中的贡献，以及海底测绘对跨大陆通信、深海采矿等行业的重要性。文章还探讨了详细的海底地图可能带来的环境问题。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第1-3段“In 2019, the multimillionaire and explorer Victor Vescovo made headlines when he became the first person to visit the deepest parts of all five of Earth’s oceans. But arguably the real star of the expedition was marine geologist Cassie Bongiovanni, the lead ocean mapper who ensured Vescovo piloted his submersible to the actual deepest depths.(2019年，百万富翁兼探险家Victor Vescovo成为第一个访问地球五大洋最深部分的人，成为头条新闻。但可以说，这次探险的真正明星是海洋地质学家Cassie Bongiovanni，她是首席海洋测绘员，确保Vescovo驾驶潜水器到达实际的最深处)”和“Today, only 25 percent of the seafloor is well mapped.(如今，只有25%的海底被很好地测绘)”以及“Seafloor topography has been a big concern for companies facilitating intercontinental communication via subsea cables. In recent decades, seafloor data have become crucial to the deep-sea mining industries searching for metals needed to produce green technology.(海底地形一直是公司通过海底电缆促进洲际通信的一个大问题。近几十年来，海底数据对寻找生产绿色技术所需金属的深海采矿业至关重要)”可知，前三段主要讨论了海底测绘的重要性。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Mappers like Bongiovanni calculate depth from the time it takes for the signal to travel down and bounce back to the surface.(像Bongiovanni这样的测绘员通过计算信号从海底反射回表面所需的时间来计算深度)”可知，测绘员通过计算信号往返时间来确定海底深度。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“It’s hard to read The Deepest Map without being reminded of the recent inner explosion of the Titan submersible in the North Atlantic that killed everyone on board in June,2023.(很难在阅读《最深的地图》时不让人想起2023年6月发生在北大西洋的泰坦潜水器内爆事故，那次事故导致船上所有人丧生)”可知，作者通过2023年泰坦号潜水器事故的例子，说明书中内容与现实问题的关联，以此凸显书的现实意义和价值。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Scientists and environmentalists alike are now concerned that a full, detailed map of the ocean floor might lead to the destruction of delicate, mostly unknown habitats if deep-sea miners are allowed to extract metals.(科学家和环保人士都担心，如果允许深海矿工开采金属，完整详细的海底地图可能会导致脆弱的、大多未知的栖息地遭到破坏)”可知，科学家对绘制海洋地图持谨慎态度。故选D。 D Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything. 12. What can be inferred about the author’s early life? A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine. C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home. 13. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste. C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked. C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought. 15. What can we learn about wastED? A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs. C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了食物浪费问题，并以纽约一家餐厅的短期实验项目“wastED”为例，该餐厅通过创意改造本该被丢弃的食材制作菜品，以此提高人们对可持续饮食的关注。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. (这种感觉或许源于在南非的成长经历 —— 在那里，“非洲还有孩子在挨饿” 这句话与其说是晚餐时的祈祷，不如说是对现实令人不安的提醒)” 可知，作者在南非长大，那里有孩子挨饿是事实，由此可推断作者早年目睹了食物短缺的情况。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. (每道菜都是量身定制的，以提高人们对食物浪费的认识)”可知，Blue Hill餐厅进行这个实验，将菜单改为只提供原本会被扔掉的食物，是为了提高公众对食物浪费的认识。故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. (值得注意的是，从技术上讲，wastED的菜单上没有一项是由垃圾制成的。相反，所有使用的食材都是大多数餐馆永远不会考虑供应的肉类部位和农产品。羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等东西都被重新利用，在许多优秀厨师的助力下，变成了美味的菜肴)”可知，本段主要介绍了wastED菜单上的菜品所用的配料，如羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等，所以本段主要讲的是这些菜肴是由什么做成的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. (尽管 wastED 餐厅收获了热烈的评价，但它从一开始就被设计为短期实验项目；此后，Blue Hill 餐厅已回归常规菜单)”可知，wastED从一开始就被设计为短期实验，现在餐厅已恢复常规菜单，从而推断，实验项目“wastED”已经按计划结束了。故选A。 七选五 What You Can Learn from Exam Papers Exam papers are not just tools for assessment. ____16____.

My heart sank. “What does ‘we’ll see’ mean?” I thought. “If I don’t finish this project, I’ll fail the assignment.” I pushed my food around my plate, my excitement gone. Later, I approached Dad carefully. “We need to find some old fabric…” I said. He was reading the newspaper. “Hmm” was all he said, not even looking at me. A heavy feeling settled in my chest. “Maybe my schoolwork isn’t important to them,” I worried. Throughout Saturday, I waited, hoping to hear the sound of scissors or the rustle of cloth. But nothing happened. Did they forget? I wondered, my stomach tight with worry. By Sunday afternoon, I was fighting back tears. The deadline felt like a dark cloud over me. In our home, asking twice often led to trouble. I watched my parents move around the house, wishing one of them would say something — anything — about my project. But they were busy with their own tasks. I felt invisible and quite alone. The hope I had felt on Friday was now completely gone. Just before dinner, Dad walked into my room. “Come with me,” he said, his voice gentle. I followed him to the living room, confused. Then I stopped, surprised. On the big table lay pieces of colorful cloth. I saw the blue pattern from my old baby blanket, a soft red piece from Mom’s favorite worn- out shirt, and even some rough brown fabric from Grandpa’s gardening apron (围裙), each tied to our past memory. “I’ve been saving these,” Dad said, a small smile on his face. Mom walked in and said, “Let’s get to work.” As I saw her holding a box of buttons and thread and a pair of scissors, my worry began to melt away, replaced with a heart full of joy. “Thank you,” I whispered. Dad and Mom patted my shoulders gently, then we worked together to turn the cloth into something meaningful. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 For the next two hours, the living room became our workshop. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Monday, I carried my “artwork” to school with pride. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 For the next two hours, the living room became our workshop. Dad showed me how to cut shapes safely. “Hold the scissors like this,” he said, guiding my hand. Mom helped arrange the pieces on a large board. “Does this look good here?” she asked me. I nodded, a warm sense of being valued washing over me. We talked and laughed as we worked. Dad shared a story about Grandpa and that old apron. Mom remembered when I was little, I was wrapped in that blue blanket. This was no longer just a school project; it felt like we were putting together pieces of our family’s story. On Monday, I carried my “artwork” to school with pride. I shared the meaning of the picture and each piece with the class during the project presentation and then my teacher held it up and said, “This one tells a meaningful story.” A rush of pride filled me, and I couldn’t wait to share it with my parents. After school I said “Thank you” to my parents. Mom put her hand on my shoulder. “We’ re always here for you,” she replied. I realized then that “We’ll see” didn’t mean no. Sometimes, it just meant “wait, and we’ll find a way to help you together.” The cloth collage, a quiet reminder of the lesson in patience and love, stayed on our wall for years. 【解析】 【导语】本文以拼贴画项目为线索展开，讲述“我”因班级拼贴画项目迟迟得不到父母回应而焦虑难过，就在截止日前，父母却拿出承载家庭回忆的布料，和“我”一起完成项目。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来的两个小时里，客厅成了我们的工作室。”可知，第一段可描写一家三口一起制作拼贴画的温馨过程，父母一边帮忙一边分享布料背后的家庭故事，让“我”感受到家人的重视与爱。 ②由第二段首句内容“周一，我自豪地带着我的‘作品’去了学校。”可知，第二段可描写“我”在课堂上展示拼贴画，讲解每块布料的意义，得到老师和同学的认可，回家后也更深刻理解了父母的爱。 2. 续写线索： 共同制作拼贴画——分享布料回忆——课堂展示作品——获师生认可——领悟父母爱意 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①指导：guide/lead/direct ②记起：remember/recall ③回答：reply/respond/answer 情绪类 ①被重视的温暖感：a warm sense of being valued/a warm feeling of being cherished ②一股自豪感：a rush of pride/a sense of pride 【点睛】[高分句型1] Mom remembered when I was little, I was wrapped in that blue blanket.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] I realized then that “We’ll see” didn’t mean no.

The film stars Garfield as Doss, and is directed by Mel Gibson. The film is based on the 2004 documentary. The Conscientious Objector produced by Terry Benedict. When he was just 10 years old, he first knew about Doss. After becoming a filmmaker, Benedict approached Doss, encouraging him to tell his story. Hollywood had been knocking on Doss's door for many years, but Doss wasn't interested. “He didn't want to mention his life in the war,” Benedict explains. But when Benedict insisted on making a documentary about his life, Doss finally agreed. Then Benedict spent the next three years interviewing Doss and his fellow soldiers in World War Ⅱ. Not long after the documentary's debut, Benedict met with the then president of the 20th Century Fox. The two wanted to make Doss's story into a film, Hacksaw Ridge. Then Gibson signed on to direct. Benedict shared his knowledge of Doss with the director and the leading actor Garfield. Benedict took Garfield on a road trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee where Doss lived most of his adult life. In the film Hacksaw Ridge, in a hard-fought battle in Okinawa, Doss repeatedly ran into the land controlled by the enemies to rescue friends and get them down the hill to safety. Even when the rest of his troop abandoned the battlefield, Doss stayed, searching for survivors and pulling his tired body to get as many of his men home as he could. “Doss was a very consistent man of faith. He was a rock,” Benedict says, “He was the same in the war. He was the same all the way up until the day he died. He set us a good example.” 4. What can we know about Benedict? A. He got great admiration from Doss. B. He shared common experiences with Doss. C. He was interested in Doss's experience in the war. D. He became famous after making The Conscientious Objector. 5. What's Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The introduction to Doss's birthplace. B. The preparation for filming Hacksaw Ridge C. The description of details in Hacksaw Ridge. D. The way of instructing Garfield in performance. 6. What does the description of the battle in Okinawa tend to show? A. Doss's suffering from his bad injuries. B. Doss's courage and love for his teammates. C. Doss's disappointment at his troop's quitting. D. Doss's excellent skills in fighting against the enemies. 7. What was Benedict's wish for people according to the last paragraph? A. Learning Doss's spirit. B. Guarding against wars. C. Avoiding violent conflict. D. Having faith in themselves. C In 2019, the multimillionaire and explorer Victor Vescovo made headlines when he became the first person to visit the deepest parts of all five of Earth’s oceans. But arguably the real star of the expedition was marine geologist Cassie Bongiovanni, the lead ocean mapper who ensured Vescovo piloted his submersible to the actual deepest depths. Today, only 25 percent of the seafloor is well mapped. “Traditionally, captains never cared about the seafloor as long as it stayed far enough away from the hulls of their ships,” journalist Laura Trethewey writes in The Deepest Map. The book explores humankind’s quest to map the seafloor, framed around Bongiovanni’s adventures. Seafloor topography has been a big concern for companies facilitating intercontinental communication via subsea cables. In recent decades, seafloor data have become crucial to the deep-sea mining industries searching for metals needed to produce green technology. Satellites have revealed many of the knob sand cracks visible in the deep blue of Google Maps. But with that relatively coarse information, entire mountains can be missed. To see the seafloor in high resolution requires a sophisticated sonar system aboard a big ship that sends sound signals from the sea surface into the abyss (深渊)。 Mappers like Bongiovanni calculate depth from the time it takes for the signal to travel down and bounce back to the surface. These state-of-the-art sonar systems transform the satellite-predicted blur into a sharp three-dimensional terrain of ripples, cracks and tears in the seafloor. “The seafloor is ‘heard’, rather than seen,” Trethewey writes. Trethewey’s insightful writing helps readers understand just why mapping the ocean — even in shallow coastal waters — is crucial to so many endeavors. Trethewey’s book is about more than just mapping the oceans. It’s also about what can go wrong when explorers explore. It’s hard to read The Deepest Map without being reminded of the recent inner explosion of the Titan submersible (能潜水的) in the North Atlantic that killed everyone on board in June, 2023. She also reminds us how easily exploration can turn into exploitation. In the not-so-distant past, Europeans “discovered” the so-called New World and mapped it, Trethewey writes. Exploitation followed. Scientists and environmentalists alike are now concerned that a full, detailed map of the ocean floor might lead to the destruction of delicate, mostly unknown habitats if deep-sea miners are allowed to extract metals. 8. What do the first three paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The writing background of the book. B. The achievement of the geologist. C. The production of green technology. D. The significance of mapping seafloor. 9. How do the mappers figure out the depth of the sea floor? A. They directly measure the depth. B. They count the time of the signal to travel. C. They analyze the sound waves from the sonar system. D. They take a close look at the pictures taken by the satellite. 10. Why does the author mention the accident in 2023? A. To present the value of the book. B. To remind the readers of the past news. C. To show the bad effect of human activities. D. To recommend the readers to read the book. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. It’s a disaster to map the floor. B. It’s easy to explore the deep sea. C. Sea miners can make a fortune in the future. D. Scientists are cautious about charting the ocean. D Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything. 12. What can be inferred about the author’s early life? A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine. C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home. 13. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste. C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked. C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought. 15. What can we learn about wastED? A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs. C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs. 七选五 What You Can Learn from Exam Papers Exam papers are not just tools for assessment. ____16____.

My heart sank. “What does ‘we’ll see’ mean?” I thought. “If I don’t finish this project, I’ll fail the assignment.” I pushed my food around my plate, my excitement gone. Later, I approached Dad carefully. “We need to find some old fabric…” I said. He was reading the newspaper. “Hmm” was all he said, not even looking at me. A heavy feeling settled in my chest. “Maybe my schoolwork isn’t important to them,” I worried. Throughout Saturday, I waited, hoping to hear the sound of scissors or the rustle of cloth. But nothing happened. Did they forget? I wondered, my stomach tight with worry. By Sunday afternoon, I was fighting back tears. The deadline felt like a dark cloud over me. In our home, asking twice often led to trouble. I watched my parents move around the house, wishing one of them would say something — anything — about my project. But they were busy with their own tasks. I felt invisible and quite alone. The hope I had felt on Friday was now completely gone. Just before dinner, Dad walked into my room. “Come with me,” he said, his voice gentle. I followed him to the living room, confused. Then I stopped, surprised. On the big table lay pieces of colorful cloth. I saw the blue pattern from my old baby blanket, a soft red piece from Mom’s favorite worn- out shirt, and even some rough brown fabric from Grandpa’s gardening apron (围裙), each tied to our past memory. “I’ve been saving these,” Dad said, a small smile on his face. Mom walked in and said, “Let’s get to work.” As I saw her holding a box of buttons and thread and a pair of scissors, my worry began to melt away, replaced with a heart full of joy. “Thank you,” I whispered. Dad and Mom patted my shoulders gently, then we worked together to turn the cloth into something meaningful. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 For the next two hours, the living room became our workshop. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Monday, I carried my “artwork” to school with pride. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
