In 2024, a team of scientists in China made an amazing discovery. They found a new type of material that can change waste plastic into useful fuel. This discovery came about by accident when the team was experimenting with different chemical reactions. To their surprise, one of the tests produced a liquid that burned cleanly and efficiently. The team leader, Dr. Zhang, said, "We were not even looking for this solution. It was a happy accident."

Dr. Zhang and his team have been awarded several prizes for their work. They are now working with local companies to put the technology into practice.

D. Answer the questions(共6题,共12分。第1题1分,第2-5题每题2分,第6题3分)
Read the passage and answer the questions below.
Smartwatches have become popular among teenagers. These wearable devices can do much more than just tell time. They can track your steps, monitor your heart rate, and even guide you with GPS. A recent study shows that about one in five teenagers now owns a smartwatch. These devices are often paired with a smartphone to receive messages and calls.
However, some experts are raising concerns. Dr. Emily White, a child psychologist, says, "For some teenagers, the constant reminders to 'stand up' or 'breathe' can increase anxiety rather than promote health." She also worries about the social pressure. When a smartwatch tracks and shares your fitness data with friends, it might turn exercise into a competition, which could hurt self-esteem for those who are less active.
Despite these concerns, many young users find smartwatches very useful. Fifteen-year-old Leo says, "My smartwatch helps me focus. It lets me see my messages at a glance without picking up my phone and getting distracted by other apps." The key, experts agree, is to use these devices as a tool, not a master.

参考范文:
The most useful invention in my daily life is the smartphone. I use it almost every hour of the day. In the morning, it wakes me up with an alarm. During school, I use it to look up new words and check my homework assignments. After school, I communicate with my parents and friends through messages and video calls.
I think the smartphone is the most useful because it combines so many tools into one small device. It is a phone, a camera, a dictionary, a map, and a library all at the same time. It makes my life more convenient and helps me stay connected with people who matter to me. Of course, I need to use it wisely and not spend too much time on it, but I cannot imagine my daily life without it.
