第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Future of Water Conservation in Homes
Freshwater shortage has become a global concern, with household water use accounting for nearly 18% of total freshwater consumption worldwide. To address water overuse, innovative solutions have existed, focusing on efficiency, affordability, and adaptability to different living conditions. Here are core technologies driving home water conservation:
● Smart Water Meters — Real-Time Monitoring
AI-powered smart water meters track water flow minute by minute. They can detect leaks within minutes (e.g., a dripping tap or a faulty pipe) and send instant warnings to users’ phones. A 2024 study found that households with smart meters reduce water waste by an average of 20% annually.
● Low-Flow Fixtures — Reduced Flow, No Comfort Loss
Low-flow shower heads and taps limit water flow to 6-9 liters per minute (traditional models use 15-20 liters). They maintain water pressure through air flow, ensuring users still have a comfortable experience. These fixtures cut bathing water use by 30%-40%.
● Rainwater Harvesting Systems — Recycled Non-Potable Water
These systems collect rainwater from rooftops, clean it, and store it in containers. The water is ideal for watering gardens, cleaning floors, and washing cars — uses that don’t require treated tap water. “The potential of rainwater harvesting is not fully used,” says Dr. Lisa Wong, a water resource expert at Stanford University. “If 50% of households adopt such systems by 2030, global residential freshwater demand could drop by 12%. But this needs more government funds to lower facility costs.”
21. What are smart water meters mainly designed to do?
A. Identify leaking problems in time.
B. Ensure the flow of water minute by minute.
C. Reduce water waste by 12% annually.
D. Send instant warnings to users’ phones.
22. According to Dr. Lisa Wong, what needs government financial support?
A. Achieving the 2030 adoption goal. B. Reducing global freshwater demand.
C. Making rainwater facilities more affordable. D. Promoting water conservation technologies.
23. What do the three technologies have in common?
A. They maintain water pressure. B. They need government funding.
C. They use artificial intelligence systems. D. They reduce household water consumption.
B
A handful of healthy soil could contain great numbers of living organisms. However, poisonous pesticides (杀虫剂) are causing harm and destruction to them, according to a recent analysis.
For the analysis, researchers looked through nearly 400 published studies including over 2,800 experiments on how pesticides affect soil organisms. They found that pesticides harmed organisms critical to maintaining healthy soils, but these harms have never been considered in the safety reviews of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).Poisonous pesticides are driving factors in the sharp decline of many soil organisms, such as ground beetles. They have been identified as the most significant driver of soil biodiversity loss in the last ten years.
However, that research has always been ignored. The EPA, which is responsible for pesticide supervision(监管)in the country, openly acknowledges that somewhere between 50 and 100 percent of all agriculturally applied pesticides end up on the soil. Yet, to assess pesticides’ harms to soil species, the agency just uses a single test species, the European honeybee, to estimate risk to all soil organisms. It spends its entire life above ground in artificial boxes.
Worse still, as soil health gain popularity globally, pesticide companies have jumped up to green wash and promote their products. Every major company is now advertising its role in improving soil health, such as advocating planting cover crops. As general beliefs, these practices are indeed good for soil health and, if adopted responsibly, are a great step to take. But companies know that these practices are often accompanied by increased pesticide use. Chemicals and pesticides have to be applied more frequently to kill weeds before crops are planted.
The long-term environmental cost can no longer be overlooked. Soils are some of the most complex ecosystems on Earth, containing nearly a quarter of the planet’s biodiversity. Protecting them should be a priority, not an afterthought.
24. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. Soil organisms. B. Ground beetles.
C. Artificial boxes. D. Poisonous pesticides.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. The honeybee is a typical species living in nature.
B. The assessment of pesticides’ harms is one-sided.
C. Less than half of applied pesticide go to the soil eventually.
D. The EPA attaches great importance to pesticide inspection.
26. Why do pesticide companies advocate planting cover crops?
A. To obey the EPA’s rules.
B. To increase their product sales.
C. To protect the environment.
D. To shoulder their social responsibility.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Soil: essential to agriculture.
B. Pesticides: harmful to soil health.
C. Organisms: significant to harvest.
D. Pollution: destructive to biodiversity.
C
Correcting the gigabytes (千兆字节) of digital misinformation that circulate at high speed online is a never-ending task. YouTube removed more than half a million channels last year for broadcasting misinformation. The powerful fact-checking organizations that try to keep the Internet honest face more claims than they can handle. How should they prioritize?
Checkers came up with a new approach: forecasting which claims are most dangerous and thus which most deserve to be put under the microscope. Researchers from the University of Westminster developed a classifying system to sort dangerous misinformation from everyday nonsense.
One test of a false claim is whether enough people will believe it so that it can cause any harm. To swing an election with misinformation, you need to persuade many people; to fool someone with fake medicine you need to convince only one. Another test is whether those believing a false claim have the capacity to act on it. Some people may be misled that Wi-Fi signals can kill plants, for example, but are unlikely to change their behaviour. The researchers estimated that, of the false claims in their sample, 57% were unlikely to contribute to any specific real-world effect.
Of the remaining, potentially consequential misinformation, the checkers considered whether the consequence would be “direct” — such as persuading people to buy certain kind of goods, or “cumulative”, contributing to a false narrative about so-called success science, say. The claims were roughly evenly divided. “Cumulative” harm is harder to assess in a short time, says Peter Cunliffe Jones of the University of Westminster, but large data sets make it possible to see how often a claim is repeated, and thus when a narrative is forming.
Time devoted to selecting which false claims to check is probably well spent. It takes five minutes to sort a claim, whereas carrying out a thorough check takes five to six hours. The fact-checking world needs to get more systematic in its approach, says Mr. Cunliffe Jones. “If this community is going to learn anything from this ... it’s that data is the future.”
28. What is the main challenge fact-checking organizations meet?
A. Lack of professional fact-checkers.
B. Difficulty in accessing reliable data.
C. Resistance from social media platforms.
D. The overwhelming amount of information.
29. In which case may a false claim be classified into “most dangerous”?
A. It targets ordinary people. B. It brings about an action.
C. It disguises itself with science. D. It spreads on many social media.
30. What is the closest in meaning with the underlined word “cumulative” in paragraph 4?
A. Equal. B. Complete. C. Gradual. D. Instant.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It’s up to data to keep the Internet honest.
B. Most false claims require thorough checks.
C. It wastes too much to classify misinformation.
D. Selecting matters more than thorough checks.
D
Our planet is polluted by plastic. Tiny bits of it, called microplastics, have been found everywhere. That’s why scientists keep looking for ways to break down this material. Now, they’ve discovered a promising new strategy.
Bacteria common in wastewater can break down the world’s most widely used plastic called PET. That finding could inform new ways to clean up PET pollution, which may make up around half of all the microplastic in wastewater.
The bacteria in question are Comamonas (单胞菌). Scientists have long known these bacteria grow on plastics in water. That got Ludmilla Aristilde wondering whether the bacteria feed on plastic. Aristilde is an environmental biochemist. Her team decided to carry out the investigation.
Since microplastics and bacteria are both tiny, it can be hard to tell what the bacteria are doing to PET. To find out, Aristilde’s team placed the bacteria in a liquid-filled container for a month with thin, flat strips (条) of PET.
Afterward, they looked at the surface of the plastic with a microscope. This type of microscope can create very detailed images of surfaces. The team found that the PET were breaking apart. Nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) of PET now floated in the water. At the end of the month, nearly three times as many nano bits were in the water as before. This showed that the bacteria had been breaking apart the PET. The bacteria also multiplied faster when they had PET available. That suggests they were using the plastic bits as food.
Ren Wei, a biochemist at the University of Greifswald, is doubtful about employing the bacteria’s ability to clean up PET pollution. The tiny bacteria eat super tiny amounts of plastic. The rate, Wei says, is far too slow to remove much of the vast amounts that enter the environment each year. He points out that breaking down plastics with bacteria should be considered an emergency technique and not a main solution. Let’s focus first on using less plastic, he says, and making it more reusable.
32. What is the aim of the experiment?
A. To find out the source of Comamonas. B. To predict the harm of plastic pollution.
C. To prove how Comamonas can survive in water. D. To check if plastic serves as Comamonas’s food.
33. What phenomenon appeared in the experiment?
A. The water was polluted by PET plastic. B. Lots of nano bits fell off the PET plastic.
C. The Comamonas bacteria floated on the water. D. The Comamonas bacteria changed fast in water.
34. What does Ren Wei advocate?
A. Reducing the use of plastic. B. Making Comamonas eat faster.
C. Stopping making plastic products. D. Using bacteria to solve plastic pollution.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. PET Plastic Is Polluting the Planet
B. Wastewater Bacteria Break down Plastic
C. Wastewater Is the Birthplace of Comamonas Bacteria
D. Scientists Are Trying to Solve Plastic Pollution Problem

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Wilma was a lively child who always wanted to play outside. The only problem was, she got sick — a lot! Ever since she was born, she was either feverish, coughing, sneezing or covered in spots. . . or at least, that was how she remembered it! Poor Wilma caught lots of diseases with long names and spent a lot of time in the hospital. “If being ill were a sport, I’d be a champion!”
When she was five, Wilma caught something called polio, and it looked as if she might never get to play outside again. Wilma recovered from catching polio, but her left leg and foot were badly weakened by the disease. This made it difficult for her to walk.
That meant she couldn’t go to nursery school or her first years of primary school like everyone else. It made her upset to see the other kids having fun outside. While the doctors treated her weak leg and she learned how to walk again, she had lessons at home.
Wilma also had to take a fifty-mile bus ride with her mum twice a week to go to Meharry Medical College. The kind doctors and nurses at the college gave her exercises to strengthen her muscles. She had to wear a metal brace (支架) that supported her left leg. Using this, she could finally walk by herself and go to school with other kids. That sounded good, but the little girl really hated wearing it. She had to wear it with heavy shoes that made her stand out.
“What will the other kids say? ” she asked her mum. “I don’t want to look different!” Her mother tried to cheer her up. “You won’t have to wear it forever, dear. Just keep exercising and make your leg strong!” That’s what Wilma did! She made sure to do all the exercises the doctors gave her to make her leg better. It wasn’t easy, but she kept imagining how wonderful it would be to walk to school without the brace.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

【原文】W: Tim. We had an argument again about who was going to be the main speaker just before we started the show.
M: Yeah, we often fall out over silly things like who’s going to introduce the show or who’s going to choose the questions. Did you know you waved your arms around a lot when arguing?
W: Oh, I didn’t notice that.
M: Using gestures to express what you’re thinking is commonplace in some countries, but a gesture can mean different things in different countries. For instance, shaking your head mostly means “no”, but in other countries it can mean the opposite. So the question is: In which country does shaking your head mean “yes”? Greece, Japan or Bulgaria?
W: Umm … No idea. Maybe Bulgaria? But I do know Indians shake their heads to mean lots of things. That goes completely over my head.
M: You’ve hit it this time. We need to be careful to avoid offense when greeting people from other cultures with gestures. Now we’ll invite Erin Meyer to talk about misunderstandings and confusions in multicultural conversations and analyze the reasons.

【原文】W: Dennis, I’m writing a paper about body language in different countries. Could you talk with me about what you know?
M: Sure. In Iran, people emphasize greetings. Even at a distance where hugs and kisses are not possible, people will make a gesture to say hello.
W: Speaking of that, when Maori meet, they rub each other’s noses at least two or three times in New Zealand. The more they do this, the better their relationship is. Anything else?
M: Well, in Nigeria, it’s rude to give a thumbs-up sign.
W: While in Britain, Australia and New Zealand, travelers use it to ask for a ride. And in my motherland China, it’s used to praise someone. It looks like we need to be careful to use body language.
M: Yeah, you’d better search for more information online.
W: OK. The abstract of my paper is almost finished.
M: You also need to pay more attention to the body and the conclusion. And remember the conclusion should reflect your deeper understanding, which shouldn’t be shallow.
W: OK.

The Future of Water Conservation in Homes
Freshwater shortage has become a global concern, with household water use accounting for nearly 18% of total freshwater consumption worldwide. To address water overuse, innovative solutions have existed, focusing on efficiency, affordability, and adaptability to different living conditions. Here are core technologies driving home water conservation:
● Smart Water Meters — Real-Time Monitoring
AI-powered smart water meters track water flow minute by minute. They can detect leaks within minutes (e.g., a dripping tap or a faulty pipe) and send instant warnings to users’ phones. A 2024 study found that households with smart meters reduce water waste by an average of 20% annually.
● Low-Flow Fixtures — Reduced Flow, No Comfort Loss
Low-flow shower heads and taps limit water flow to 6-9 liters per minute (traditional models use 15-20 liters). They maintain water pressure through air flow, ensuring users still have a comfortable experience. These fixtures cut bathing water use by 30%-40%.
● Rainwater Harvesting Systems — Recycled Non-Potable Water
These systems collect rainwater from rooftops, clean it, and store it in containers. The water is ideal for watering gardens, cleaning floors, and washing cars — uses that don’t require treated tap water. “The potential of rainwater harvesting is not fully used,” says Dr. Lisa Wong, a water resource expert at Stanford University. “If 50% of households adopt such systems by 2030, global residential freshwater demand could drop by 12%. But this needs more government funds to lower facility costs.”
21. What are smart water meters mainly designed to do?
A. Identify leaking problems in time.
B. Ensure the flow of water minute by minute.
C. Reduce water waste by 12% annually.
D. Send instant warnings to users’ phones.
22. According to Dr. Lisa Wong, what needs government financial support?
A. Achieving the 2030 adoption goal. B. Reducing global freshwater demand.
C. Making rainwater facilities more affordable. D. Promoting water conservation technologies.
23. What do the three technologies have in common?
A. They maintain water pressure. B. They need government funding.
C. They use artificial intelligence systems. D. They reduce household water consumption.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了家庭节水未来前景及三种推动家庭节水的核心技术及其作用。

A handful of healthy soil could contain great numbers of living organisms. However, poisonous pesticides (杀虫剂) are causing harm and destruction to them, according to a recent analysis.
For the analysis, researchers looked through nearly 400 published studies including over 2,800 experiments on how pesticides affect soil organisms. They found that pesticides harmed organisms critical to maintaining healthy soils, but these harms have never been considered in the safety reviews of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).Poisonous pesticides are driving factors in the sharp decline of many soil organisms, such as ground beetles. They have been identified as the most significant driver of soil biodiversity loss in the last ten years.
However, that research has always been ignored. The EPA, which is responsible for pesticide supervision(监管)in the country, openly acknowledges that somewhere between 50 and 100 percent of all agriculturally applied pesticides end up on the soil. Yet, to assess pesticides’ harms to soil species, the agency just uses a single test species, the European honeybee, to estimate risk to all soil organisms. It spends its entire life above ground in artificial boxes.
Worse still, as soil health gain popularity globally, pesticide companies have jumped up to green wash and promote their products. Every major company is now advertising its role in improving soil health, such as advocating planting cover crops. As general beliefs, these practices are indeed good for soil health and, if adopted responsibly, are a great step to take. But companies know that these practices are often accompanied by increased pesticide use. Chemicals and pesticides have to be applied more frequently to kill weeds before crops are planted.
The long-term environmental cost can no longer be overlooked. Soils are some of the most complex ecosystems on Earth, containing nearly a quarter of the planet’s biodiversity. Protecting them should be a priority, not an afterthought.
24. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. Soil organisms. B. Ground beetles.
C. Artificial boxes. D. Poisonous pesticides.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. The honeybee is a typical species living in nature.
B. The assessment of pesticides’ harms is one-sided.
C. Less than half of applied pesticide go to the soil eventually.
D. The EPA attaches great importance to pesticide inspection.
26. Why do pesticide companies advocate planting cover crops?
A. To obey the EPA’s rules.
B. To increase their product sales.
C. To protect the environment.
D. To shoulder their social responsibility.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Soil: essential to agriculture.
B. Pesticides: harmful to soil health.
C. Organisms: significant to harvest.
D. Pollution: destructive to biodiversity.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。少量健康的土壤就可能含有大量的生物体。然而,根据最近的一项分析,有毒的农药正在对它们造成伤害和破坏。

The EPA, which is responsible for pesticide supervision(监管)in the country, openly acknowledges that somewhere between 50 and 100 percent of all agriculturally applied pesticides end up on the soil. Yet, to assess pesticides’ harms to soil species, the agency just uses a single test species, the European honeybee, to estimate risk to all soil organisms. (然而,这项研究一直被忽视。负责全国农药监管的美国环境保护署(EPA)公开承认,所有农业上使用的农药中,有50%到100%最终会进入土壤。然而,为了评估农药对土壤物种的危害,该机构只使用单一的测试物种——欧洲蜜蜂,来评估对所有土壤生物的风险。)”可知,对农药危害的评估是片面的。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Worse still, as soil health gain popularity globally, pesticide companies have jumped up to green wash and promote their products.Every major company is now advertising its role in improving soil health, such as advocating planting cover crops. As general beliefs, these practices are indeed good for soil health and, if adopted responsibly, are a great step to take. But companies know that these practices are often accompanied by increased pesticide use. Chemicals and pesticides have to be applied more frequently to kill weeds before crops are planted.(更糟糕的是,随着土壤健康在全球范围内越来越受欢迎,农药公司纷纷投身于绿色清洗和推广他们的产品。每家大公司现在都在宣传自己在改善土壤健康方面的作用,比如提倡种植覆盖作物。)”可知,农药公司提倡种植覆盖作物为了增加他们的产品销售。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A handful of healthy soil could contain great numbers of living organisms. However, poisonous pesticides (杀虫剂) are causing harm and destruction to them, according to a recent analysis.(少量健康的土壤就可能含有大量的生物体。然而,根据最近的一项分析,有毒的农药正在对它们造成伤害和破坏。)”可知,B“Pesticides: harmful to soil health.(农药:对土壤健康有害)”适合做最佳标题。故选B。
C
Correcting the gigabytes (千兆字节) of digital misinformation that circulate at high speed online is a never-ending task. YouTube removed more than half a million channels last year for broadcasting misinformation. The powerful fact-checking organizations that try to keep the Internet honest face more claims than they can handle. How should they prioritize?
Checkers came up with a new approach: forecasting which claims are most dangerous and thus which most deserve to be put under the microscope. Researchers from the University of Westminster developed a classifying system to sort dangerous misinformation from everyday nonsense.
One test of a false claim is whether enough people will believe it so that it can cause any harm. To swing an election with misinformation, you need to persuade many people; to fool someone with fake medicine you need to convince only one. Another test is whether those believing a false claim have the capacity to act on it. Some people may be misled that Wi-Fi signals can kill plants, for example, but are unlikely to change their behaviour. The researchers estimated that, of the false claims in their sample, 57% were unlikely to contribute to any specific real-world effect.
Of the remaining, potentially consequential misinformation, the checkers considered whether the consequence would be “direct” — such as persuading people to buy certain kind of goods, or “cumulative”, contributing to a false narrative about so-called success science, say. The claims were roughly evenly divided. “Cumulative” harm is harder to assess in a short time, says Peter Cunliffe Jones of the University of Westminster, but large data sets make it possible to see how often a claim is repeated, and thus when a narrative is forming.
Time devoted to selecting which false claims to check is probably well spent. It takes five minutes to sort a claim, whereas carrying out a thorough check takes five to six hours. The fact-checking world needs to get more systematic in its approach, says Mr. Cunliffe Jones. “If this community is going to learn anything from this ... it’s that data is the future.”
28. What is the main challenge fact-checking organizations meet?
A. Lack of professional fact-checkers.
B. Difficulty in accessing reliable data.
C. Resistance from social media platforms.
D. The overwhelming amount of information.
29. In which case may a false claim be classified into “most dangerous”?
A. It targets ordinary people. B. It brings about an action.
C. It disguises itself with science. D. It spreads on many social media.
30. What is the closest in meaning with the underlined word “cumulative” in paragraph 4?
A. Equal. B. Complete. C. Gradual. D. Instant.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It’s up to data to keep the Internet honest.
B. Most false claims require thorough checks.
C. It wastes too much to classify misinformation.
D. Selecting matters more than thorough checks.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了事实核查组织面对网络海量虚假信息的新策略——利用大数据与分类模型,优先筛出“最危险”的谣言。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段句子“The powerful fact-checking organizations that try to keep the Internet honest face more claims than they can handle.(试图维护互联网真实性的强大事实核查组织面临的虚假言论数量超出了它们的处理能力。)”可知,核查机构面临的主要挑战是信息数量过于庞大。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“One test of a false claim is whether enough people will believe it so that it can cause any harm.(检验虚假言论的一个标准是,是否有足够多的人相信它,以至于它会造成任何伤害。)”和“Another test is whether those believing a false claim have the capacity to act on it.(另一个测试是那些相信虚假言论的人是否有能力对此采取行动。)”可知,只有当虚假言论“被足够多的人相信并付诸行动”时,才会被视为最危险;即“带来实际行动”是关键标准。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段句子“Of the remaining, potentially consequential misinformation, the checkers considered whether the consequence would be “direct” — such as persuading people to buy certain kind of goods, or “cumulative”, contributing to a false narrative about so-called success science, say.(核查人员对剩下的、可能造成影响的不实信息进行了考量:影响是‘直接的’——比如说服人们购买某类商品;还是‘cumulative’——助推形成关于所谓成功学的错误说法。)”可知,“cumulative”与“direct”并列,二者应该是对立关系,所以,此处指的是虚假叙事“逐渐累积”形成错误观念,而非瞬间或一次性影响,因此“cumulative”意为“逐步的、累积的”,与gradual意义一致。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。末段强调“data is the future(数据是未来)”,并指出“The fact-checking world needs to get more systematic in its approach(事实核查世界需要在方法上更加系统化)”“Time devoted to selecting which false claims to check is probably well spent.(把时间花在选择哪些虚假言论需要检查上可能是值得的。)”,暗示未来需要依靠数据来系统维护网络诚信。故选A项。
D
Our planet is polluted by plastic. Tiny bits of it, called microplastics, have been found everywhere. That’s why scientists keep looking for ways to break down this material. Now, they’ve discovered a promising new strategy.
Bacteria common in wastewater can break down the world’s most widely used plastic called PET. That finding could inform new ways to clean up PET pollution, which may make up around half of all the microplastic in wastewater.
The bacteria in question are Comamonas (单胞菌). Scientists have long known these bacteria grow on plastics in water. That got Ludmilla Aristilde wondering whether the bacteria feed on plastic. Aristilde is an environmental biochemist. Her team decided to carry out the investigation.
Since microplastics and bacteria are both tiny, it can be hard to tell what the bacteria are doing to PET. To find out, Aristilde’s team placed the bacteria in a liquid-filled container for a month with thin, flat strips (条) of PET.
Afterward, they looked at the surface of the plastic with a microscope. This type of microscope can create very detailed images of surfaces. The team found that the PET were breaking apart. Nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) of PET now floated in the water. At the end of the month, nearly three times as many nano bits were in the water as before. This showed that the bacteria had been breaking apart the PET. The bacteria also multiplied faster when they had PET available. That suggests they were using the plastic bits as food.
Ren Wei, a biochemist at the University of Greifswald, is doubtful about employing the bacteria’s ability to clean up PET pollution. The tiny bacteria eat super tiny amounts of plastic. The rate, Wei says, is far too slow to remove much of the vast amounts that enter the environment each year. He points out that breaking down plastics with bacteria should be considered an emergency technique and not a main solution. Let’s focus first on using less plastic, he says, and making it more reusable.
32. What is the aim of the experiment?
A. To find out the source of Comamonas. B. To predict the harm of plastic pollution.
C. To prove how Comamonas can survive in water. D. To check if plastic serves as Comamonas’s food.
33. What phenomenon appeared in the experiment?
A. The water was polluted by PET plastic. B. Lots of nano bits fell off the PET plastic.
C. The Comamonas bacteria floated on the water. D. The Comamonas bacteria changed fast in water.
34. What does Ren Wei advocate?
A. Reducing the use of plastic. B. Making Comamonas eat faster.
C. Stopping making plastic products. D. Using bacteria to solve plastic pollution.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. PET Plastic Is Polluting the Planet
B. Wastewater Bacteria Break down Plastic
C. Wastewater Is the Birthplace of Comamonas Bacteria
D. Scientists Are Trying to Solve Plastic Pollution Problem
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家发现废水中的单胞菌可以分解PET塑料,以及科学家对此研究的不同看法。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“That got Ludmilla Aristilde wondering whether the bacteria feed on plastic. Aristilde is an environmental biochemist. Her team decided to carry out the investigation. (这让Ludmilla Aristilde怀疑这些细菌是否以塑料为食。Aristilde是一名环境生物化学家。她的团队决定展开调查)”可推知,实验的目的是检查塑料是否为单胞菌的食物。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The team found that the PET were breaking apart. Nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) of PET now floated in the water. At the end of the month, nearly three times as many nano bits were in the water as before. (研究小组发现PET正在分解。PET的纳米颗粒现在漂浮在水中。到月底,水中的纳米颗粒数量几乎是之前的三倍)”可知,实验中出现的现象是许多纳米颗粒从PET塑料上脱落。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Let’s focus first on using less plastic, he says, and making it more reusable. (他说,让我们首先关注减少塑料的使用,并使其更可重复使用)”可知,Ren Wei倡导减少塑料的使用。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Bacteria common in wastewater can break down the world’s most widely used plastic called PET. That finding could inform new ways to clean up PET pollution, which may make up around half of all the microplastic in wastewater.(废水中常见的细菌可以分解世界上使用最广泛的塑料PET。这一发现可能会为清理PET污染提供新的方法,PET污染可能占废水中所有微塑料的一半左右)”以及文章内容可知,文章主要介绍了科学家发现废水中的单胞菌可以分解世界上最广泛使用的塑料PET,以及科学家对此研究的不同看法,所以“废水细菌分解塑料”适合作为文章主旨。故选B项。

Travel: Exploration or Relaxation?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Version 1:
Travel: Exploration or Relaxation?
Travel is a mix of exploration and relaxation. Exploring new places lets us experience different cultures and see amazing things. But relaxation is equally important. Taking time to rest and enjoy peaceful moments can make travel more fun.
My suggestion is to find a balance. Plan some exciting activities but leave time for leisure. Maybe spend a quiet morning or take a peaceful walk. Travel should be about creating meaningful memories, not just ticking off destinations.
So, pack your curiosity and a desire to relax. The magic of travel lies in combining adventure with calm.
Version 2:
Travel: Exploration or Relaxation?
Travel isn’t about picking sides. It’s most fulfilling when blending both. Exploration satiates curiosity, thrusting us into unfamiliar culture and terrain. Yet, relaxation — reveling in a quiet café or basking on a beach — prevents burnout.
My advice? Slow down and unwind. Allow room for serendipitous adventures. Focus on experiences, not just ticking off sites. The allure of travel lies in being wholly present. Whether you’re navigating a bustling market or simply admiring a flaming sunset, do savor each instant. Travel isn’t about a singular purpose — it’s about embracing life’s beauty in each moment.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Wilma was a lively child who always wanted to play outside. The only problem was, she got sick — a lot! Ever since she was born, she was either feverish, coughing, sneezing or covered in spots. . . or at least, that was how she remembered it! Poor Wilma caught lots of diseases with long names and spent a lot of time in the hospital. “If being ill were a sport, I’d be a champion!”
When she was five, Wilma caught something called polio, and it looked as if she might never get to play outside again. Wilma recovered from catching polio, but her left leg and foot were badly weakened by the disease. This made it difficult for her to walk.
That meant she couldn’t go to nursery school or her first years of primary school like everyone else. It made her upset to see the other kids having fun outside. While the doctors treated her weak leg and she learned how to walk again, she had lessons at home.
Wilma also had to take a fifty-mile bus ride with her mum twice a week to go to Meharry Medical College. The kind doctors and nurses at the college gave her exercises to strengthen her muscles. She had to wear a metal brace (支架) that supported her left leg. Using this, she could finally walk by herself and go to school with other kids. That sounded good, but the little girl really hated wearing it. She had to wear it with heavy shoes that made her stand out.
“What will the other kids say? ” she asked her mum. “I don’t want to look different!” Her mother tried to cheer her up. “You won’t have to wear it forever, dear. Just keep exercising and make your leg strong!” That’s what Wilma did! She made sure to do all the exercises the doctors gave her to make her leg better. It wasn’t easy, but she kept imagining how wonderful it would be to walk to school without the brace.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

When Wilma was twelve, the doctors decided that her leg was strong enough.

Then, she was invited to join her school’s track team.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When Wilma was twelve, the doctors decided that her leg was strong enough. They told her she no longer needed to wear the metal brace. Wilma was overjoyed! She took off the brace and shoes right away and felt the ground beneath her feet in a whole new way. With a big smile on her face, she started to run around the hospital room. From then on, she didn’t just walk to school; she ran. Her new-found freedom made her realize how much she loved moving her legs. She practiced running every day after school, feeling the wind in her hair and the power in her legs.
Then, she was invited to join her school’s track team. At first, some of the other team members doubted her because of her past illness. But Wilma didn’t care. She trained harder than anyone else. During practice, she focused on every step, every movement. Her hard work paid off. In the first race she participated in, she ran so fast that she left others far behind. As time went by, she became a well-known runner in the school. Her story inspired not only her teammates but also all the students in the school. They learned that with determination and hard work, they could overcome any difficulty.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Wilma自幼体弱多病,五岁患小儿麻痹症后左腿和脚受影响,需戴支架行走,她虽讨厌支架但坚持锻炼,期待恢复正常。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句内容“当威尔玛十二岁时,医生判定她的腿已经足够强壮了。”可知,第一段可描写威尔玛摆脱支架后的喜悦,以及她开始积极地练习跑步,享受自由活动的快乐。
② 由第二段首句内容“后来,她受邀加入了学校的田径队。”可知,第二段可描写威尔玛在田径队面临队友的质疑,但她努力训练,最终取得好成绩并激励他人。
2. 续写线索:摆脱支架——练习跑步——加入田径队——克服质疑——获得成功
3. 词汇激活:
