Half price for a child (under 12).”，Bill是BIPC会员，票价$8；他5岁的儿子，不是会员，但属于12岁以下儿童，票价为非会员价的一半，即$10÷2=$5。$8+$5=$13，正确选项为13 dollars。 【3题详解】 票务信息末尾明确写道“All the money will go to the City Bee Protection Project.”，说明所有门票收入将用于城市蜜蜂保护项目，即保护蜜蜂。 【4题详解】 文中明确指出“World Bee Day was created...to draw people’s attention to the important role of bees and other pollinators in keeping the planet healthy.”，说明设立世界蜜蜂日的目的是提醒人们关注蜜蜂的重要性。 B The corner of 71st Street is my favorite place. Most people only see an empty lot (空地), but to me, it’s a hidden treasure. Grass sways (摇荡) gently in the wind, and butterflies fly around. When my apartment gets too noisy, I run here to breathe fresh air and listen to birds’ songs. Everything in the corner brings me joy. Sadly, not everyone cares about this. Trash (垃圾) is everywhere, old chairs, a broken bicycle wheel, and...worse yet, Mama told me the city plans to turn it into a parking lot. I was heartbroken. Where would the birds and butterflies go? Mama inspired me, “Tia, make others see the beauty, too. Speak up for what you love, or nothing will change.” The next morning, I made a sign, “No parking lot! Save our nature!” and sat on a chair at the corner. Many passed by without noticing, and a few laughed. Mrs. Johnson even shouted at me, saying her customers needed parking. I felt upset until I saw my family coming with their own signs. Their support gave me courage. That afternoon, a reporter from the newspaper came over and interviewed me. The next day, my story was in the paper! Soon, friends, neighbors, and even school groups joined us. We cleaned up the trash, and more people realized the value of the corner. A few days later, I was asked to speak to the government. Nervous but determined (坚定), I said, “This is our neighborhood’s last bit of nature—shouldn’t we protect it?” That night, Mama called with great news: the city voted against the parking lot! We could keep our corner. A year later, it’s a nature reserve. Kids come to study insects, and families walk here. It’s no longer “my corner”—it’s “our corner.” And now, I’m eyeing an empty lot on 73rd Street. Who knows? Another little piece of nature might soon appear. 5. Why did Tia feel heartbroken when she heard of the city’s plan? A. Mrs. Johnson shouted at her angrily and drove her away. B. Neighbors had no time to clean up the trash in the corner. C. Her family didn’t support her to speak up and save the corner. D. She would lose her favorite place to enjoy the beauty of nature. 6. What does the underlined word “inspired” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Cheered. B. Improved. C. Warned. D. Trusted. 7. Which of the following is the correct order of the events? ①Neighbors and friends joined Tia to support her. ②The reporter interviewed Tia and wrote about her story. ③Tia spoke to the government and bravely showed her idea. ④Mama told Tia the city planned to turn the corner into a parking lot. A. ②→④→①→③ B. ②→①→④→③ C. ④→②→①→③ D. ④→①→③→② 8. What is the best title for this text? A. A Wonderful Empty Natural Lot. B. Fighting for Our Nature Corner. C. A Brave Girl and Her Neighbors. D. Voting Against the Parking Lot. 【答案】5. D 6. A 7. C 8. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了小女孩Tia为守护心爱的自然角落，号召众人共同努力，最终成功阻止场地改建，将其建成自然保护区。 【5题详解】 第二段“Mama told me the city plans to turn it into a parking lot. I was heartbroken”，可以说明她心碎的直接原因，是这个承载着她所有自然之美的地方，即将被改造成停车场，她会永远失去它。 【6题详解】 第二段“Tia, make others see the beauty, too. Speak up for what you love, or nothing will change”可知，Tia此时因为失去心爱的角落而心碎、失落，妈妈这句话是在鼓励她、给她打气，让她不要放弃，主动为自己热爱的事物发声。 【7题详解】 事件④最先发生：原文第二段“Mama told me the city plans to turn it into a parking lot”，这是所有事件的起因；事件②接着发生：第三段“a reporter from the newspaper came over and interviewed me”，举牌抗议后，记者采访报道了她的故事；事件①随后发生：第三段“friends, neighbors, and even school groups joined us”可知，报道发出后，邻居和朋友加入支持她；事件③最后发生：第四段“A few days later, I was asked to speak to the government”，被邀请向政府发言，完成关键一步。 【8题详解】 全文主线从伤心、抗议举牌、获得支持，向政府发声，最终成功守护了这片自然之地，整个过程的核心是为保护自然角落而努力抗争。 C ①Nature has many ways to solve problems. We humans learn a lot from animals and plants in nature. There is a science about how we copy great ideas from animals and plants to create helpful products. It is called biomimetics (仿生学). ②Some animals such as this sugar glider (蜜袋鼯，飞天鼠) have wing-like structures to help them fly from tree to tree. When they jump, they spread out their arms and legs to help them fly down easily. Wing-suits, a kind of clothes, can let people experience flying. The idea of these clothes comes from the sugar glider. ③Some animals have structures used for self-protection. An armadillo (犰狳) has a hard cover that can protect it from other dangerous animals. When an armadillo feels that it is in danger, it will change into a ball. Once the dangerous animal goes away, it comes out of the ball. The armadillo has taught people to create a backpack with a hard surface. The surface of the backpack protects things inside from being broken. ④Plants have helped people come up with amazing inventions, too. Perhaps the best-known example is Velcro (尼龙搭扣). It includes two pieces of cloth. They stick to each other when they are pressed together. Velcro is used on everything from handbags to clothes. The idea of Velcro is from burrs (带芒刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to people’s clothing or hair. They are taken to other places in this way. ⑤From these examples, we can see biomimetics is widely used in our daily life. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future? Let’s wait and see! 9. Which of the following is an example of biomimetics? A. Suits. B. Backpacks. C. Armadillos. D. Velcro. 10. Why does an armadillo change itself into a ball? A. Because it wants to move faster. B. Because it’s a shy animal. C. Because the hard cover can protect it. D. Because it meets other animals. 11. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 12. What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. Human life is connected with nature closely. B. Biomimetics is widely used in our daily life. C. Humans depend on their own wisdom to change lives. D. The idea of Velcro is from an animal with special structures. 【答案】9. D 10. C 11. A 12. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了仿生学的概念及其在生活中的应用。文章列举了三个例子：蜜袋鼯启发人类发明了翼装、犰狳启发人类设计了硬壳背包、植物牛蒡的带芒刺果实启发人类发明了尼龙搭扣。最后总结仿生学广泛应用于日常生活，并展望未来。 【9题详解】 文章第四段明确指出“The idea of Velcro is from burrs”，尼龙搭扣（Velcro）的发明灵感来源于植物的带芒刺果实（burrs），说明Velcro是仿生学的典型例子。 【10题详解】 第三段明确指出“An armadillo has a hard cover that can protect it from other dangerous animals. When an armadillo feels that it is in danger, it will change into a ball.”，说明犰狳把自己卷成球是为了用硬壳保护自己。 【11题详解】 第①段：总述仿生学的定义（总起）；第②段：动物例子1——蜜袋鼯→翼装；第③段：动物例子2——犰狳→硬壳背包；第④段：植物例子——牛蒡→尼龙搭扣；第⑤段：总结仿生学的广泛应用并展望未来（总结）。①/②③④/⑤的总——分——总结构符合题意。 【12题详解】 全文通过多个例子说明人类从动植物身上获得灵感，发明了各种有用的产品，这体现了人类生活与自然之间的紧密联系。 Plastic waste is an increasingly important problem. Up to now, only 9% of the plastics ever produced have been recycled. The rest remain on earth for hundreds of years. They wash out to the ocean to become rubbish that harms wildlife and break down into small plastics that can enter the human brain and other parts of our bodies. Recently, scientists have developed a new method to break down plastic waste with the help of water in the air. The researchers mixed a special metal and activated carbon (活性炭) with PET, the most common type of polyester (聚酯) plastic. Then they heated the mixture. After a short time, this broke the chemical connections in the polyester. Next, when the team left the material in the air, the mixture turned into TPA, a polyester material, and acetaldehyde, an industrial chemical. Finally, these valuable chemical materials were recycled. After the first success, researchers tested the method on different plastics and found it worked on polyester plastic only. That meant they didn’t need to separate different kinds of plastics. Also, when they added water, it stopped working because the amount (数量) of water in the air was just right. The team’s next plan will be to use the method widely in industry. “It’s hopeful that our technology can hugely reduce plastic pollution, lower the environmental footprint of plastics and help materials be reused instead of being thrown away,” researchers said. “It’s a big progress towards a cleaner, greener future, and it shows how creative chemistry can solve world challenges in a way that joins hands with nature.” 13. What harm of plastics is mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Polluting the sea. B. Warming the air. C. Reducing wetlands. D. Causing wildfires. 14. How did the team do the research? ①Heat the mixture. ②Leave the mixture in the air. ③Recycle the chemical materials. ④Mix a special metal, activated carbon with PET. A. ④-②-①-③ B. ④-②-③-① C. ④-①-②-③ D. ④-①-③-② 15. How do researchers like their technology? A. It will improve people’s creativity. B. It will help with a green environment. C. It will prevent people from using plastics. D. It will stop the present pollution problems. 16. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Turn to plastics for more metals. B. Put plastics into wider farming use. C. Recycle plastics for a cleaner future. D. Improve plastic production in a better way. 【答案】13. A 14. C 15. B 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家研发出一种利用空气中的水分解塑料垃圾的新方法，该方法能将聚酯塑料转化为可回收利用的化工材料，有助于减少塑料污染、推动更清洁环保的未来。 【13题详解】 第一段指出研究发现：“They wash out to the ocean to become rubbish that harms wildlife…”，这直接说明塑料会流入海洋污染海洋、危害野生动物。 【14题详解】 第二段说明实验步骤：“The researchers mixed a special metal and activated carbon with PET…”（④混合特殊金属、活性炭与 PET）；“Then they heated the mixture.”（①加热混合物）；“Next, when the team left the material in the air…”（②将混合物置于空气中）；“Finally, these valuable chemical materials were recycled.”（③回收化工材料）。因此顺序为④-①-②-③。 【15题详解】 最后一段说明研究者的看法：“It’s hopeful that our technology can hugely reduce plastic pollution… towards a cleaner, greener future”，表明这项技术有助于减少塑料污染、降低环境影响，推动更绿色的环境。 【16题详解】 全文围绕“利用新方法分解并回收塑料垃圾、减少污染”展开，核心是通过塑料回收实现更清洁的未来，因此最佳标题为“Recycle plastics for a cleaner future.”。 第二节 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气).

That’s where my____23____lies,” it said. One day, a boy ____24____the drawer, and find out the Paper and the Pencil for writing. “Stop! I’m only for something____25____!” the Paper shouted. However, the boy didn’t hear. He just wrote something, erased (擦掉) it, and rewrote something else. Soon, the Paper was covered with words and eraser (橡皮) marks. “I’m ruined (毁坏) now,” the Paper said. “What a____26____!” “You’re not ruined,” the Pencil replied. “You’ve simply become____27____.” When the boy was done, he looked at the Paper. “I shouldn’t____28____it,” he said. So, he drew a beautiful picture on its back. Then,____29____throwing it away, he put it into a box which was marked with “To recycle”. Just then, the Paper seemed to realize something. “I have more than one purpose,” it said with a sense of ____30____. From that day on, the Paper tried to teach others something important: being useful is more important than being perfect. 21. A. helpful B. simple C. expensive D. perfect 22. A. If B. Because C.

Researchers can also watch penguins’ movements by giving them special electronic tags. The scanner carried by____39____robot can read information on the tags. The robot also uses AI to recognize the penguins. It moves very slowly so that it doesn’t make the birds stressed. Daniel, one of the penguin ____40____ (science), hopes that the technology will lead us to a “golden age of research”. Thanks to technology, we are seeing more things that no one has ever seen before. 【答案】31. largest 32. were listed 33. to protect 34. first 35. have discovered 36. carefully 37. or 38. like 39. a 40. scientists 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着科技的发展，研究人员利用卫星、天气预测以及携带扫描仪的机器人等高科技手段来观察和保护濒危动物帝企鹅。 【31题详解】 句意：帝企鹅可以长到1.2米高，它们是所有企鹅种类中最大的。句中出现了“of all the penguin kinds”这一表示范围的短语，限定了在所有企鹅中进行比较，因此形容词large需要使用最高级形式largest。 【32题详解】 句意：2022年，它们被列为濒危动物，因为南极海冰正变得越来越小。主语they（指代帝企鹅）与动词list之间是被动关系（被列入名单），且时间状语为In 2022，表示过去的时间，因此使用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为were/was+过去分词，主语是they，be动词用were，list过去分词是listed。 【33题详解】 句意：现在，研究人员正在使用高科技来追踪它们，并更多地了解如何保护它们。“how to do sth.”是固定结构，意为“如何做某事”，在句中作learn about的宾语，因此protect需使用不定式形式to protect。 【34题详解】 句意：当研究人员首次开始使用卫星观测时，只有28个企鹅群。此处修饰动词started，表示“第一次、首次”，需用副词first，而不是基数词one。 【35题详解】 句意：到目前为止，研究人员已经发现66 企鹅群。句中出现了时间状语“So far”（到目前为止），这是现在完成时的标志，强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，因此使用现在完成时have discovered。 【36题详解】 句意：研究人员可以通过仔细地观察该地区的天气来改进种群数量估计。此处修饰动词watching，需用副词形式carefully，而不是形容词careful。 【37题详解】 句意：测量风速和温度可以帮助预测企鹅是紧密聚集在一起，还是分散在冰面上。“whether…or…” 是固定搭配，意为“是……还是……”，因此填or。 【38题详解】 句意：如果研究人员知道拍照时的天气状况如何，他们就可以估计照片中有多少只企鹅。“what the weather was like”是询问天气状况的常用表达，like在此处作介词，意为“像……样子”。 【39题详解】 句意：由一个机器人携带的扫描仪可以读取标签上的信息。robot是可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一个机器人”，且以辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词a。 【40题详解】 句意：丹尼尔，企鹅研究的科学家之一，希望这项技术能带领我们进入“研究的黄金时代”。“one of+复数名词” 表示 “……之一”，因此science 需变为表示职业的复数名词scientists。 四、阅读与表达（共4小题，61~63小题， 每小题2分，64小题4分；满分10分） 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 Once I gave my students an assignment (作业): Write a short passage based on a given topic. However, when they handed in their homework, I found many students, about one third of them, used AI tools to create their passages, while the others wrote by themselves. I was quite surprised to see so many similar passages at first and then I got a bit angry. They cheated me. These passages were created by AI tools. So, I asked them to come to my office and give me an explanation (解释). Here are some of their answers: I’m sorry I just copied one. I got plenty of homework. When I suddenly thought of the writing assignment, it was too late, so I used AI tools to search for an answer. I didn’t even change anything. I just copied it into my notebook. I’m sorry, but I have no choice. You know I’m not good at English writing. I had to depend on AI tools. I found AI tools helpful because they could create a composition in less than a minute. Though the composition was not original (原创的), it was better than the one that I wrote. I’m sorry, but I don’t think it is a big deal. Modern science and technology can provide convenience for us. So, why can’t we make good use of them? I can write my own passage, but it usually takes me half an hour. I think it’s a waste of time. I admit (承认) sometimes I depend on AI tools too much, but we can never deny (否认) that they help us a lot. Hearing their “perfect” answers, I lost myself in thought. I realized that AI had a big influence on some of the students and they depended on it greatly. Later, I asked them to tell me what they had written in their passages, but they could hardly say anything. “As we all know, it’s important to think independently (独立地). If we don’t, we might just believe what AI tells us, and then we will be led by the nose by it. So, use it wisely and properly, or it will be a stumbling block (绊脚石) on your way forward, especially for middle school students.” I told the students. 41. What assignment did the teacher give the students? ______________________________________________ 42. How did the students finish the writing task? ______________________________________________ 43. What is AI considered as during students’ growth if they depend too much on it? ______________________________________________ 44. As a junior high school student, how can you use AI tools wisely to help with your study? Give out at least two ways. Write 30 words or more. ______________________________________________ 【答案】41. Write a short passage based on a given topic. 42. About one third of them used AI tools to create their passages, while the others wrote by themselves. 43. A stumbling block on their way forward. 44. As a junior high school student, I can use AI tools to look up new words and explain difficult grammar rules when reading. Also, I can use them to get ideas for writing or check mistakes in my essays, instead of copying directly. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位老师发现部分学生使用AI工具完成写作作业后，对学生进行了询问，并借此教育学生要独立思考，合理使用AI工具。 【41题详解】 根据文章第一段“Once I gave my students an assignment: Write a short passage based on a given topic.”可知，老师布置的作业是根据给定的话题写一篇短文。故填Write a short passage based on a given topic. 【42题详解】 根据文章第一段“...I found many students, about one third of them, used AI tools to create their passages, while the others wrote by themselves.”可知，大约三分之一的学生用AI工具完成，其他人自己写。故填About one third of them used AI tools to create their passages, while the others wrote by themselves. 【43题详解】 根据文章最后一段“So, use it wisely and properly, or it will be a stumbling block on your way forward, especially for middle school students.”可知，如果过度依赖AI，它将成为学生成长道路上的绊脚石。故填A stumbling block on their way forward. 【44题详解】 本题为开放性问题，要求结合自身实际，提出至少两种明智使用AI工具辅助学习的方法，且字数在30词以上。可以从利用AI查阅资料、解答疑难、获取灵感但不盲目抄袭等方面作答。言之有理，语法正确即可。故可填As a junior high school student, I can use AI tools to look up new words and explain difficult grammar rules when reading. Also, I can use them to get ideas for writing or check mistakes in my essays, instead of copying directly. 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45. 近期学校会举办每年一度的英语周，今年的主题为：Promoting（宣传）Chinese Traditional Culture，现向全校学生征集宣传创意。假设你是学生李辉，请写一封邮件给活动负责人王老师表达创意。内容包括： 1.选择一个文化宣传员身份，并简述宣传此文化的理由； 2.阐述你将如何宣传此项文化（至少3点）； 3.重申此项文化的重要性，并发出倡议。 文化宣传员身份如下： *小书法家（Little calligrapher） *中国剪纸工艺师（Chinese paper cutting artist） *小茶艺师（Little tea master） *龙舟队员（Dragon boat player） *中国武术表演者（Kung fu performer） *中医草药宣传员（TCM promoter） 注意： （1）词数80~100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； （2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； （3）邮件中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Dear Mr. Wang, The annual English Week is coming.

Most people only see an empty lot (空地), but to me, it’s a hidden treasure. Grass sways (摇荡) gently in the wind, and butterflies fly around. When my apartment gets too noisy, I run here to breathe fresh air and listen to birds’ songs. Everything in the corner brings me joy. Sadly, not everyone cares about this. Trash (垃圾) is everywhere, old chairs, a broken bicycle wheel, and...worse yet, Mama told me the city plans to turn it into a parking lot. I was heartbroken. Where would the birds and butterflies go? Mama inspired me, “Tia, make others see the beauty, too. Speak up for what you love, or nothing will change.” The next morning, I made a sign, “No parking lot! Save our nature!” and sat on a chair at the corner. Many passed by without noticing, and a few laughed. Mrs. Johnson even shouted at me, saying her customers needed parking. I felt upset until I saw my family coming with their own signs. Their support gave me courage. That afternoon, a reporter from the newspaper came over and interviewed me. The next day, my story was in the paper! Soon, friends, neighbors, and even school groups joined us. We cleaned up the trash, and more people realized the value of the corner. A few days later, I was asked to speak to the government. Nervous but determined (坚定), I said, “This is our neighborhood’s last bit of nature—shouldn’t we protect it?” That night, Mama called with great news: the city voted against the parking lot! We could keep our corner. A year later, it’s a nature reserve. Kids come to study insects, and families walk here. It’s no longer “my corner”—it’s “our corner.” And now, I’m eyeing an empty lot on 73rd Street. Who knows? Another little piece of nature might soon appear. 5. Why did Tia feel heartbroken when she heard of the city’s plan? A. Mrs. Johnson shouted at her angrily and drove her away. B. Neighbors had no time to clean up the trash in the corner. C. Her family didn’t support her to speak up and save the corner. D. She would lose her favorite place to enjoy the beauty of nature. 6. What does the underlined word “inspired” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Cheered. B. Improved. C. Warned. D. Trusted. 7. Which of the following is the correct order of the events? ①Neighbors and friends joined Tia to support her. ②The reporter interviewed Tia and wrote about her story. ③Tia spoke to the government and bravely showed her idea. ④Mama told Tia the city planned to turn the corner into a parking lot. A. ②→④→①→③ B. ②→①→④→③ C. ④→②→①→③ D. ④→①→③→② 8. What is the best title for this text? A. A Wonderful Empty Natural Lot. B. Fighting for Our Nature Corner. C. A Brave Girl and Her Neighbors. D. Voting Against the Parking Lot. C ①Nature has many ways to solve problems. We humans learn a lot from animals and plants in nature. There is a science about how we copy great ideas from animals and plants to create helpful products. It is called biomimetics (仿生学). ②Some animals such as this sugar glider (蜜袋鼯，飞天鼠) have wing-like structures to help them fly from tree to tree. When they jump, they spread out their arms and legs to help them fly down easily. Wing-suits, a kind of clothes, can let people experience flying. The idea of these clothes comes from the sugar glider. ③Some animals have structures used for self-protection. An armadillo (犰狳) has a hard cover that can protect it from other dangerous animals. When an armadillo feels that it is in danger, it will change into a ball. Once the dangerous animal goes away, it comes out of the ball. The armadillo has taught people to create a backpack with a hard surface. The surface of the backpack protects things inside from being broken. ④Plants have helped people come up with amazing inventions, too. Perhaps the best-known example is Velcro (尼龙搭扣). It includes two pieces of cloth. They stick to each other when they are pressed together. Velcro is used on everything from handbags to clothes. The idea of Velcro is from burrs (带芒刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to people’s clothing or hair. They are taken to other places in this way. ⑤From these examples, we can see biomimetics is widely used in our daily life. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future? Let’s wait and see! 9. Which of the following is an example of biomimetics? A. Suits. B. Backpacks. C. Armadillos. D. Velcro. 10. Why does an armadillo change itself into a ball? A. Because it wants to move faster. B. Because it’s a shy animal. C. Because the hard cover can protect it. D. Because it meets other animals. 11. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 12. What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. Human life is connected with nature closely. B. Biomimetics is widely used in our daily life. C. Humans depend on their own wisdom to change lives. D. The idea of Velcro is from an animal with special structures. Plastic waste is an increasingly important problem. Up to now, only 9% of the plastics ever produced have been recycled. The rest remain on earth for hundreds of years. They wash out to the ocean to become rubbish that harms wildlife and break down into small plastics that can enter the human brain and other parts of our bodies. Recently, scientists have developed a new method to break down plastic waste with the help of water in the air. The researchers mixed a special metal and activated carbon (活性炭) with PET, the most common type of polyester (聚酯) plastic. Then they heated the mixture. After a short time, this broke the chemical connections in the polyester. Next, when the team left the material in the air, the mixture turned into TPA, a polyester material, and acetaldehyde, an industrial chemical. Finally, these valuable chemical materials were recycled. After the first success, researchers tested the method on different plastics and found it worked on polyester plastic only. That meant they didn’t need to separate different kinds of plastics. Also, when they added water, it stopped working because the amount (数量) of water in the air was just right. The team’s next plan will be to use the method widely in industry. “It’s hopeful that our technology can hugely reduce plastic pollution, lower the environmental footprint of plastics and help materials be reused instead of being thrown away,” researchers said. “It’s a big progress towards a cleaner, greener future, and it shows how creative chemistry can solve world challenges in a way that joins hands with nature.” 13. What harm of plastics is mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Polluting the sea. B. Warming the air. C. Reducing wetlands. D. Causing wildfires. 14. How did the team do the research? ①Heat the mixture. ②Leave the mixture in the air. ③Recycle the chemical materials. ④Mix a special metal, activated carbon with PET. A. ④-②-①-③ B. ④-②-③-① C. ④-①-②-③ D. ④-①-③-② 15. How do researchers like their technology? A. It will improve people’s creativity. B. It will help with a green environment. C. It will prevent people from using plastics. D. It will stop the present pollution problems. 16. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Turn to plastics for more metals. B. Put plastics into wider farming use. C. Recycle plastics for a cleaner future. D. Improve plastic production in a better way. 第二节 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气).
