You can’t make reservations and you will find a queue almost all day long, every day of the year.”故选 A 项。 24. B。推理判断题。从第二段中的“She went on to found the Liz Earle Wellbeing magazine, continues with TV appearances, launched the charity LiveTwice, hosts a weekly podcast, and has written 36 books, including her latest, A Better Second Half, a manifesto(宣言) for midlife women.”可知，厄尔的生活丰富多彩，不满足于平淡生活。故选B。 25. D。词义猜测题。从第五段中的“divorcing her second husband and failing in investment”可知，厄尔经历了人生的巨变。故选D。 26. C。细节理解题。从第七段中的“She is concerned that midlife women don’t prioritise themselves.”可知，厄尔担心中年女性不优先考虑自我，因此她鼓励中年女性将自己放在第一位。故选C。 27. A。推理判断题。从第七段和第八段可知，厄尔将变老看作一份礼物，并拥抱变老带来的一切好处，说明她对变老充满感恩之情。故选A。 28. D【命题立意】考查推断的能力。 【解题思路】根据第一段中的“This is an artist’s uneatable creation”和“such as meat... all of which are made from single-use plastics taken from streets and garbage”可知，这个杂货店是一位艺术家不能食用的创作。塑料袋商店的货架上摆满了如肉、鸡蛋和蛋糕之类的商品，所有这些都是用从街道和垃圾场中收集的一次性塑料制成的。由此可知，这些商品都是假的或人造的。故选D。decorative“装饰性的，作装饰用的”; recyclable“可回收利用的”;dirty“脏的，肮脏的，有灰尘的”;artificial“人造的，假的，人工的”。 28. B【命题立意】考查推断的能力。 【解题思路】解题步骤如下： ①明题意 本题问的是“塑料袋商店的目的是什么”。 ②寻线索 根据第二段中的“tell a story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave... become our most lasting ‘cultural legacy(遗产)’”可知，白天，这家商店有时会变成一系列电影短片的舞台，用木偶戏、皮影戏和手工布景来讲述一个故事，即我们留下的过多的塑料废弃物可能会怎样被后代误解，以及我们最不重视的东西可能会怎样成为我们最持久的“文化遗产”。此处的“cultural legacy(遗产)”是一种反讽的说法，用来说明塑料废弃物的危害。由此可推知，“塑料袋商店”的成立是为了呼吁人们关注塑料废弃物的危害。 ③定答案 A项“呼吁人们回收塑料”；B项“唤起人们对塑料废弃物危害的关注”；C项“改变人们的消费观念”；D项“展示塑料回收的成果”。故选B。 29. C【命题立意】考查理解具体信息的能力。 【解题思路】解题步骤如下： ①明题意 本题问的是“Frohardt 从哪里得到灵感”。 ②寻线索 根据第三段中的“I got the idea many years ago after watching someone bag and double-bag and triple-bag my groceries”“I just was sort of struck by how much packaging was involved in our everyday lives”可知，Frohardt看到有人袋子套袋子地装她的食品杂货，就有了这个想法。她对人们日常生活中所涉及的包装如此之多感到震惊。 ③定答案 A项“她的电影经历”；B项“商店里的电影短片”；C项“对塑料袋的过度使用”；D项“对过度消费的担忧”。故选C。 30. A【命题立意】考查理解观点的能力。 【解题思路】根据题干中的Tim Tompkins可将解题信息定位至最后一段。根据Tim Tompkins的话可知，Tim Tompkins认为，Frohardt的作品以幽默的方式提醒人们，不仅要考虑未来两周，还要考虑未来二十年和未来两个世纪，他希望几百年后我们的遗产将是戏剧，而不是成堆的塑料。由此可知，Tim Tompkins认为Frohardt的做法是意义重大的。故选A。meaningful“有意义的，重要的”；challenging“挑战性的，考验能力的”；imaginative“富于想象力的，创新的”；impractical“不明智的，不现实的”。 32. C 【深度解析】理解具体信息。本题问果冻冰相较于传统冰的优势。根据第二段中的“We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.”可知，果冻冰可重复使用，且在多次冷却和升温循环中仍能保持吸热能力，这是传统冰不具备的优势。故选C项。 33. D 【深度解析】推断。本题问作者在第三、四段对于果冻冰有什么暗示。根据第三段中的“how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays”可知，果冻冰的研发初衷是解决传统融水传播细菌的问题。根据第四段中的“The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil.”可知，果冻冰由天然成分制成，使用后可生物降解，不会造成微塑料污染，还能促进番茄植物生长。由此可推知，果冻冰降低环境影响。故选D项。 34. B 【深度解析】理解具体信息。本题问从最后一段我们可了解到的内容。根据最后一段中的“Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing.”可知，尽管该技术已获得许可，但果冻冰尚未向公众出售，仍需要市场分析、产品设计和大规模生产测试，即还需要进一步开发。故选B项。 35. C 【深度解析】理解主旨要义。本题问文章合适的标题。通读全文可知，文章开篇就指出“jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid”，点明果冻冰的核心特性：不融化、可重复使用、可生物降解；全文始终围绕“不融化”这一特性，介绍其材质、优势（避免融水问题、可重复使用）、应用场景（食品保鲜、医疗运输等）。C项（一种不融化的冷却材料）最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 36. E 解题步骤如下: ①分析语境寻线索 空处是过渡句，起承上启下的作用。空前一句讲到有时候我们会失败，这没什么大不了的，空后一句讲到让我们讨论一下我们如何在每一次挫折中实现逆转，因此空处应涉及面对失败的正确态度和做法。 ②对比选项定答案 E 项“真正重要的是我们能从失败中学到什么”衔接上下文，符合语境。 37. F 空前提到大多数时候，失败会让我们不自负，并防止我们认为自己总是比别人优秀和重要。空处应承接上文，继续讨论失败和自我的关系。F项“通过它们，我们事实上学会了在生活中非常重要的谦虚”符合语境。F 项中的“them”指代前面的“failures”,“learnhumbleness”呼应上文中的“keep our egos at bay”和“prevent us thinking of ourselves as always better and moreimportant than others”。 38. A 解题步骤如下: ①分析语境寻线索 本段主题是要学会灵活变通。空前提到但是我们能够成功并达成所有的目标，空后提到这就是我们必须一直保持灵活的原因。因此空处应与灵活有关，且能说明要想获得成功并达成目标需要做什么。 ②对比选项定答案 A 项“所需要的就是一点点调整”与上下文衔接紧密，符合语境。A项中的“it”指代空前一句中的“成功并达成所有的目标”；下文中的“adapt”与A 项中的“adjustment”呼应。 39. B 空处是本段的主旨句。根据下文内容可知，本段重点介绍了失败可以激发我们的斗志，故B项“大多数时候，失败可以成为巨大的动力”能概括本段大意，且空后的“They”和“them”指代的就是 B 项中的“mo-tivators”。 40. G 本段主题是创新。上文提到创新是我们从失败中学到的宝贵经验。当我们在某件事上失败时，它教会我们要有创新精神并创造性地解决问题。如果你在某件事上束手无策，不要感到羞愧。因此空处应是在介绍此时你应该怎么做。G项“学会从不同的角度和用新技巧处理问题”说的就是具体的做法，且是下文的“最终你会成功”的条件。故选G项。 41. D【深度解析】根据前文 Rain began to pour down 和后文 jumped into our car 及常识可知，在雨天赶路需加快速度。race 意为“疾走”，符合语境。slide 滑动；wander 闲逛；march 行进。 42. C【深度解析】由后文“in the rain. The woman was pushing the man, who was in a wheelchair.”并结合常识可知，女人推着坐在轮椅上的男人在雨中行走应是十分艰难的。struggle 意为“艰难地行进”，符合语境。wait 等待；shelter 躲避；escape 逃离。 43. C【深度解析】根据前文 the night was cold and wet 可知，夜晚寒冷潮湿，此处应是说两人的衣着不足以抵御寒冷。warmly 意为“温暖地”，符合语境。neatly 整洁地；formally 正式地；lightly 轻便地。 44. B【深度解析】结合前文作者夫妇注意到这对夫妇的困境，以及后文 we could help 可知，两人都有帮助对方的愿望。wish 意为“希望”，符合语境。admit 承认；recall 回忆；doubt 怀疑。 45. A【深度解析】根据前文 our car was small 可推知，车比较小，所以车内空间不足以容纳那对夫妇。 fit 意为“可容纳”，符合语境。engage 吸引；catch 抓住；leave 遗弃。一词多义 fit(1) vt. & vi. 可容纳；装进。如：I’d like to have a desk in the room but it won’t fit.（我想在房间放一张桌子，但是搁不下。）(2) vt. & vi. 适合；合身。如：This dress fits her perfectly.（这条裙子她穿着非常合身。） (3) adj. 健康的；健壮的。如：He keeps fit by running every morning.（他通过每天早上跑步保持健康。） (4) adj. 适合的；恰当的。如：She is not fit for this demanding job.（她不适合这份要求高的工作。） 46. C【深度解析】前文描述了作者夫妇俩想帮忙却因车小无法实现的情况，后文作者的丈夫马克突然开车掉头寻找这对夫妇，中间的过渡应是车内短暂的沉默。silent 意为“沉默的”，符合语境。messy 凌乱的；crowded 拥挤的；cold 寒冷的。 47. D【深度解析】根据第二段中的 We drove slowly by them 可知，作者夫妇已从这对夫妇身边驶过，而空前的 made a quick left and then another 是掉头的动作，且后文 looking for the couple 进一步印证作者丈夫是要返回寻找他们。head back 意为“返回”，符合语境。pull away 开始驶离；slow down 减速；hang around 闲逛。 48. A【深度解析】根据后文 under the huge umbrella 可知，马克从后备箱取出的是雨伞。umbrella 意为“雨伞”，为原词复现，符合语境。raincoat 雨衣；blanket 毯子；backpack 背包。 49. B【深度解析】前文“Mark pulled over, went back to the trunk and brought out my big,brand-new ____”说明马克已取出雨伞，后文 handed it to the man 是递伞的动作，中间需要走到这对夫妇面前。Appro-ach 意为“走近，靠近”，符合语境。invite 邀请；recognize 认出；accompany 陪伴。 50. A【深度解析】结合前文 a couple ____ in the rain 和 the night was cold and wet 可知，这对夫妇此前在雨中艰难前行，而此刻已在大伞下避雨，作者看到他们摆脱淋雨的困境，内心应生出宽慰之感。relief 意为“宽慰”，符合语境。confidence 自信；patience 耐心；surprise 惊讶。 51. B【深度解析】这对夫妇在寒冷雨夜中艰难前行，突然得到陌生人无偿赠予的大雨伞，他们脸上应是感激的神情。appreciative 意为“感激的”，符合语境。curious 好奇的；awkward 尴尬的；innocent 无辜的。 52. C【深度解析】根据后文 But that event ____ with me now 的转折可知，马克从未向任何人提及此事。 tell a soul 为固定搭配，意为“告诉任何人”，常用于否定句中，强调“不向任何人透露”，符合语境。fact 事实；joke 笑话；lie 谎言。熟词生义 soul 熟义：n. 灵魂；心灵。例：It was as if those grey eyes could see into the very depths of her soul.（仿佛那双灰色的眼睛能看到她的灵魂深处。）生义：n. （一个）人。例：He is really quite a sensitive soul.（他是个非常敏感的人。） 53. B【深度解析】前文提及马克的善举未被宣扬且以 But 转折，强调该事件对作者产生了深远影响，促使作者主动帮助人，说明事件并未被遗忘，而是一直留存于作者心中。stay 意为“停留，保持”，符合语境。 mix 混合；fade 逐渐消失；agree 同意。 54.D解析：结合前文马克雨夜递伞的善举对作者的影响，以及后文 to help others out 可知，作者受到启发，开始主动寻找能够帮助他人的机会。opportunity 意为“机会”，符合语境。其他选项：clue（线索）、excuse（借口）、inspiration（鼓舞人心的人/事物）均不符合上下文逻辑。 55.D解析：根据后文 because I know some little action I take can make a difference 可知，这句话强调无论自身客观条件是否便利，都应尽力助人。- position 意为“处境，状况”，固定搭配 in a position to do sth. 表示“有能力/条件做某事”，符合语境。其他选项：process（过程）、mood（心情）、routine（惯例）均不符合搭配和语境。 56.a考查。修饰whale作定语。 57.but 谓语swam和was destroyed需要连词且前面与后面的内容相反。 58.at考查介词。日本不顾其他国家的强烈反对，决定将核污水排入海洋的消息以惊人的速度随着洋流传播，使我们意识到了无法避免的危险，陷入恐惧和不确定。at an alarming rate“以惊人的速度”是固定搭配。 59.whose 引导定语从句，在定语从句中代替fish修饰movements作定语。 60.becoming考查非谓语动词。一些鱼毫无生气地漂浮着，成了入侵我们家园的无形敌人实施的袭击的受害者。本句已有谓语动词 floated，故空处是非谓语动词作结果状语，become 是系动词，只能与逻辑主语构成主谓关系，故填现在分词 becoming。 61. Hopelessness 根据and前面的名词sorrow推出答案。 62. Larger 考查比较级。此处表示“我比海洋中的任何生物都大，所以我感到责任的重担压在我宽阔的肩膀上”，比较级的标志词 than 表明空处要填比较级。故填 Larger。 63. wounded 考查非谓语动词。因此，我呼吁海洋居民们团结起来拯救我们受到伤害的家园。空处作定语修饰名词 home，根据语境和 wound 的用法可以判断，所给的提示词 wound 是动词，表示“伤害”，空处应填非谓语动词。Woun-d与被修饰词 home 是逻辑上的动宾关系，应该用过去分词作前置定语。故填 wounded。 64. whoever 考点：让步状语从句 解析：句子表达“我们浮出水面吸引过往船只的注意，唱着悲伤的曲调触动那些能做出改变的人的心弦，无论他们是谁”。空处引导让步状语从句，表示“无论是谁”，且在从句中作表语，所以用whoever。补充：whomever 引导从句时通常在句中作宾语，这里不符合这个用法。 65. would be preserved 根据主句的谓语动词long,说明从句用将来时，beauty and peace与preserve是被动关系。 第四部分 写作 第一节 写作提示 体裁：应用文之新闻报道 要求：1. 点明主题：报道“倡导文明新风，构建和谐校园”系列活动 2. 活动时间及活动内容 3. 活动意义 提分词句：- 词汇： witness （是发生……的时间）； advocate （提倡）； span from... to... （时间持续从……到……）； deliver （发表）； to sum up （总之） 句型： whose 引导的定语从句； What 引导的主语从句；倒装句等 【参考范文】 March witnessed a series of activities held in our school, whose theme was to advocate civili-zed behavior among us students and build a harmonious campus. The series of activities spanned from March 5th to March 25th, during which a wide variety of meaningful activities were held to encourage civilized behavior. What was most impressive was a lecture delivered to show us how vital it was to be a civilized person in our daily lives. To sum up, not only do the activities enrich our school life, but also offer us something mea-ningful and relevant in a unique way. 【句型升级指南】表示活动安排的三种表达 1.As scheduled, we started at 9 o'clock in the morning. 2.The lesson, which will last 3 hours, is scheduled for Sunday morning. 3.The training class, which is held in our school hall, will begin on June 2nd, ending on August 8th. 【参考范文】 “How can we get across the RIVER?” Kim said to himself.①Just as he was rackinghis brains for a solution, Echo pointed to the bush beside the path and had an idea.②“Look! There seems to be a fallen palm tree that could act as a bridge.”③A little nervousbut more excited, they cut off the branches with their knife and then cautiously pushed the trunk over the water.④Putting on his life vest, Kim held his breath and moved slowly, reaching the other sidesafely.⑤Then followed Echo. Kim and Echo relaxed and sat down, admiring the forest around them.⑥It was then that a sudden feeling of hunger seized Kim. ⑦He swiftly fished out his packed lunch and ate heartily,together with the soothing sounds of nature. ⑧After restoring energy, Kim and Echo continued their journey.⑨The cool breeze blew through their hair as if congratulating them on their successful crossing the river together.⑩“NOBODY is going to cause trouble when you' re around, my BIG friend!”Kim whispered to Echo, grinning from ear to ear. ⑪And his steps became lighter with confidence and bravery. 听力原文 1.【答案】B 【原文】 M: Hello, I'd like to rent a boat for six hours.How much do I need to pay?

In the twentieth century, oil was discovered here and an important industry developed. It didn't last long, however, and tourism is the biggest industry these days. There's a lot to see in the town. On the journey you won't see anyanimals during the daytime because it's too hot, but you should look out for beautiful desert plants right next to the track, although at this height there are no trees. At one point,we go over an old wooden bridge. People get worried because it's noisy,but it'squite safe.There's no river under the bridge,but you can see some large colorful rocks—-they’refantastic. We don't make any stops on the trip because all the stations were closed long ago.At thefar end of our train there's a small store selling souvenirs that you can't buy anywhere else.Theother things which we sell during your ride are drinks. Unfortunately,the machine selling thesegoods is broken,so once we're underway I'll be walking down the train with everything in a basket.So stop me if you want anything. 英语 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二期末考试试卷 英 语 出题人：洞口一中 胡洁 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、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，用铅毛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，再选涂其他答案标号。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) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 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.

D. The dim lighting and rock music inside. B At 60, mother-of-five Liz Earle is energised, clear-headed, and understands that the way she lives her life will give her the best chance of longevity. Earle, who sold her beauty company in 2010, isn’t one for standing still. She went on to found the Liz Earle Wellbeing magazine, continues with TV appearances, launched the charity LiveTwice, hosts a weekly podcast, and has written 36 books, including her latest, A Better Second Half, a manifesto(宣言) for midlife women. She was in denial about ageing for a while. She says: ‘I turned 60 last year and I didn’t want to acknowledge it. In my mother’s generation, 60 was grey hair, twinset and pearls, and slippers. I feel so far removed from that stereotype(刻板印象).’ Earle, though, has defied the numbers. When she was in her mid-50s, she had her biological markers of age tested, which showed her biological age to be 39. It’s now 45, but in the next few years she intends on getting that marker down. In her late 50s, Earle experienced a lot of upheavals in her personal life, divorcing her second husband and failing in investment. ‘Starting again in my mid-50s was challenging but also energising, because it was an opportunity for a fresh start,’ she reflects. ‘I felt like I was being given a second chance. And I want to encourage other women who feel that they are washed up, too.’ The wellness advice she offers in the book is backed by scientific data, and it’s clear that Earle has done a lot of research in the three years it took to write it; she offers all manner of ways to maintain good health. She is concerned that midlife women don’t prioritise themselves. ‘Society marginalises(使微不足道) midlife women—we become invisible, we become irrelevant, whether that’s because we’re losing our looks, or we’re losing our relevance in society. And, actually, that shouldn’t be the case. We’re the clever, wise ones who have lived through it,’ she explains. ‘Ageing is a gift,’ Earle continues, ‘Even when I was running the beauty company, we never used the term anti-ageing well—keeping cognitive function, keeping mobility, having a purpose.’ Now, Earle is embracing all the good things that age has brought her, recently welcoming her first grandchild into the world, and she says she is looking forward to the next decade. 24. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Earle? A. She used to work as an employee in a beauty company. B. She steps out of the comfort zone and embraces changes. C. She believes she fits the stereotype of the 60-year-olds. D. She offered wellness advice without any scientific proof. 25. What does the underlined word “upheavals” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Unfair treatments. B. Heavy burdens. C. Sharp criticisms. D. Unpleasant changes. 26. According to paragraph 7, what does Earle encourage midlife women to do? A. To fight against ageing. B. To regain their wisdom. C. To put themselves first. D. To accept plastic surgery. 27. What’s Earle’s attitude towards ageing? A. Grateful. B. Fearful. C. Doubtful. D. Pitiful. C A grocery store in Ann Arbor, Michigan opened on Tuesday to the public. This is an artist’s uneatable creation. The Plastic Bag Store presents shelves filled with items such as meat, eggs, cakes and so on, all of which are made from single-use plastics taken from streets and garbage. The store at times during the day will be transformed into a stage for a series of short films in which puppetry(木偶戏表演), shadow play, and handmade sets are used to tell a story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting “cultural legacy(遗产)”. Theater and film director Robin Frohardt is the creative driving force behind the Plastic Bag Store. “I got the idea many years ago after watching someone bag and double-bag and triple-bag my groceries,” Frohardt said on Tuesday. “I just was sort of struck by how much packaging was involved in our everyday lives. And it just seemed so unreasonable. I just thought, maybe I could set up a project to change it.” Combining a real-life supermarket with film experience, Frohardt planned to use art and humor to question our culture of consumption and convenience and to show one of the greatest problems of our planet. Plastic bags are created by fossil(化石) fuels and often end up as waste in landfills and the ocean. Americans throw away 100 billion plastic grocery bags per year. She hopes that she can continue to tour with the project and bring it to different communities. “My dream would be that this project will become unnecessary one day,” said Frohardt. “Frohardt’s work reminds us, with humor, to think not just about the next two weeks, but also about the next two decades and the next two centuries. What will remain hundreds of years later? We hope that our legacy will be plays rather than piles of plastics,”said Tim Tompkins, President of Times Square Alliance. 28. What are the things in the Plastic Bag Store like? A.Decorative. B.Recyclable. C.Dirty. D.Artificial. 29. What does the Plastic Bag Store aim to do? A.Appeal to people to recycle plastic. B.Call attention to harm of plastic waste. C.Change people’s consumption concept. D.Show achievements of plastic recycling. 30. Where did Frohardt get inspiration from? A.Her film experiences. B.Short films at the store. C.Overuse of plastic bags. D.Concern for overconsumption. 31. What does Tim Tompkins think of Frohardt’s project? A.Meaningful. B.Challenging. C.Imaginative. D.Impractical. D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to the regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher. “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin, a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture. Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 29. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A.Fixed shape. B.Saving water. C.Repeated use. D.Cooling efficiency. 33. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A.It stretches tomato growing cycles. B.It adopts a bacteria-free material. C.It shortens the freezing time. D.It lowers environmental impacts. 34. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.The official approval is underway. B.Jelly ice needs further development. C.Traditional ice will soon disappear. D.Other natural polymers will be available. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A Game Changer That Controls Bacteria B.A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order C.A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt D.A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution 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。 What is failure? The inability to achieve something is known as failure.We must understand that we will sometimes fail in life and it is okay when that happens. 36 . Let's discuss how we can make an excellent comeback from every setback!

His backpack was filled with everything he could pos-sibly need— including a packed lunch and water to stay healthy. “Don't forget your hat!” his mum told him as he was lacing up his boots. “Do you really need a knife and a life vest, though?” she asked. “Better safe than sorry!” he told her in a serious voice. With that,the boy set off into the forest. Dewdrops(露珠) still rested on the leaves of the palm trees, and small birds fluttered from branch to branch. The trail got rougher as he went downhill.Tree roots tried to grab his feet, and it became darker as tall trees blocked out the sunlight. Other kids might be scared if they were in the jungle, but not br ave Kim — the exp-lorer! A tree branch dropped suddenly. Kim froze and peered into the bushes.“Was that a large,sha-dowy figure hiding back there?” Kim thought, feeling a little frightened. “Don't come any closer!” he said loudly. His voice hardly trembled at all. “I' ve got …a BIGfriend watching out for me!” There was a boy from behind him. It was his best friend in the whole world — Echo! Echo isa tall and big boy, about five feet and 100 pounds. The shadow y figure in the bushes disappear-ed as quickly as Ech o had come.Kim turned around and greeted his best friend.“Thanks for the backup,Echo! But I wasn't scared, really!” “NOBODY is going to cause trouble when I'm around!” Echo said. Echo and Kim continued to travel on down the path. It was fun, although the two boys had to pay attention to something unexpected. Soon they came to a rock y gorge(峡谷) with a stream at the bottom. Obviously, it was very dangerous for them to swim across it. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150 左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “How can we get across the RIVER? ” Kim said to himself.
