Single-use plastic plates are major contributors. Eco-friendly disposable plates provide a practical solution. But what exactly are they, and why should we choose them? Let’s explore. Eco-friendly plates are made from natural, renewable materials that decompose quickly and safely. This means they break down into natural elements in a short time without harming the environment. Benefits of Using Eco-friendly Plates Switching to eco-friendly plates has many advantages. Here are some key benefits: ●Reduces Waste: Traditional plates take hundreds of years to break down. Eco-friendly plates break down in months. ●Lower Carbon Footprint: These plates use less energy and resources to produce. ●Safe for Health: Made from natural materials, they do not release harmful chemicals. ●Supports Sustainability: They promote the use of renewable resources. Materials Used in Eco-friendly Plates Eco-friendly plates come from various sustainable materials. Here are some common ones: Material Description Bamboo Strong, durable, and grows fast. Palm Leaves Leaves are collected, cleaned, and shaped into plates. Sugarcane A by-product of sugar production, biodegradable, heat-resistant. Areca Nut Leaves are molded into durable plates, no chemicals used. How to Choose the Right Eco-friendly Plates Consider these factors when selecting eco-friendly plates: ●Material: Choose a material that suits your needs. ●Durability: Check if the plates can hold hot and cold foods. ●Compostability (可堆肥性): Ensure the plates are certified compostable. ●Price: Compare prices to find a budget-friendly option. Eco-friendly disposable plates offer a simple way to help the environment. They are practical, safe, and sustainable. Make the switch today and join the movement towards a greener planet. 21.

B For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with themselves, Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered. Deborah is the founder of the Poetry Pharmacy, located in an old ironworks in the heart of Shropshire. This bookshop aims to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves. Last year, a second Poetry Pharmacy opened inside LUSH on London’s Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital. Even before she had two successful “practices” under her belt, Deborah was very aware of the power of poetry. She used the medium as a tool to help those living with dementia (痴呆), working in care homes for years. “I would sit with people and talk to them, listen to them,” she says. “We would read poetry. I would see a change happen as they were taken to a magical place.” “The ambulance” was Deborah’s first exploration into poetic medicine. After spotting a special vehicle on eBay, an idea came to her — she would bring poetry prescriptions (处方) directly to people. And so, Deborah travelled the country in her 1950s ambulance, offering consultations and guidance to those in need. After nearly a decade of mobile medicine, Deborah parked up her practice for the stability of a physical store in Shropshire. With its original iron shelving and warm wooden counter, Deborah knew that the Bishop’s Castle location was the perfect place to set up shop. This would be the world’s first walk-in poetry pharmacy. Since opening in 2019, the Pharmacy has gone from strength to strength, being awarded Regional Independent Bookshop of the Year from the British Book Awards in 2024. “It’s really important not to ask people about their problems,” Deborah says. “We ask about that person’s reading habits, how they relax, who they are in their best state. It should be a pleasure to answer these questions.” 24. Why did Deborah set up the Poetry Pharmacy? A. To treat serious diseases. B. To gain nationwide fame. C. To bring people comfort. D. To train professional poets. 25. How did Deborah help people with dementia in care homes? A. She taught them to write poems. B. She read poetry to accompany them. C. She offered them medical treatment. D. She took them to visit magical places. 26. What does the underlined phrase “parked up her practice” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Stopped driving her ambulance. B. Improved her poetry service quality. C. Ended her mobile poetry service. D. Found a perfect location for her shop. 27. What does Deborah’s practice show? A. Words are the best medicine. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Good health is the best wealth. D. Actions speak louder than words. C One would think that the astronauts’ living spaces should be perfectly clean, but it turns out that creating a “dirtier” environment with more microorganisms from Earth may boost their health. That’s what recent research in Cell suggests after showing the International Space Station (ISS) is overly sterile (无菌的). The sterile nature of the station has led to a low diversity of microorganisms, which could be contributing to immune system disorders, skin discomfort, and other inflammatory (炎症性的) conditions in astronauts. According to the researchers, the results indicate that the most common health problems observed in space could be reduced by introducing certain environmental microorganisms from Earth onto the ISS. To learn more about the microbial life living and interacting in space, the researchers called on astronauts to take 803 samples of the different surfaces on the ISS. Once collected and sent to Earth, the samples were analyzed to determine the presence of bacterial species and chemicals. Notably, however, absent in the ISS were the microorganisms from natural environments that strengthen human health, allowing us to grow our own hardy microorganisms. Contact with these microorganisms, which exist in the water and soil on Earth, supports the beneficial bacteria that live inside our bodies, helping us digest food and fight diseases. The researchers claim that introducing microorganisms from Earth could potentially boost the microbial community on the ISS without posing any health risks to astronauts. “Future-built environments, including space stations, could benefit from intentionally developing diverse microbial communities that better imitate the natural microbial exposures experienced on Earth,” said Rodolfo Salido, a study author and a researcher from the University of California San Diego. He also stressed that if we really want life to thrive outside Earth, we can’t just launch a small branch of the tree of life into space. We need to start thinking about what other beneficial companions we should be sending with these astronauts to help them develop ecosystems that will be sustainable and beneficial for all. 28. What can we learn from the study in paragraph 1? A. Overclean space stations harm astronaut health. B. Diverse microorganisms lead to serious illnesses. C. Dirty environments strengthen the immune system. D. Direct skin discomfort results from microorganisms. 29. What did the researchers do to conduct the study? A. They studied samples from ISS. B. They observed astronauts on ISS. C. They introduced samples on ISS. D. They cultured microorganisms from ISS. 30. What can be inferred about microorganisms in paragraph 3? A. Microorganisms on Earth kill bacteria. B. Microorganisms on Earth benefit human health. C. Microorganisms on the ISS increase health risks. D. Microorganisms on the ISS improve human health. 31. What did Salido suggest about future-built environment? A. Increase clean surfaces in space stations. B. Launch more branches of trees into space. C. Recreate Earth’s natural microbial conditions. D. Send more companions with astronauts in space. D Over the past several decades, the technology industry has promised high wages and strong job security. However, AI is already taking over entry-level tech jobs. Major tech companies have laid off thousands of workers in recent years. The recent uncertainty in the labor market has called the value of tech jobs, and tech skills, into question. Despite these challenges, I still believe that pursuing a degree in computer science and related disciplines is a great choice students can make. Computer science is not just about learning to code; the core is thinking creatively to solve complex problems. When I got my degree in computer engineering in 1995, the World Wide Web was just starting, and there were no large-scale search engines. But I learned the foundations of computer science and was trained in problem solving. That training has enabled me to work in many fields over the last 20 years, including work on Google Search. A misconception about computer science is that AI will impact software development more than other fields. In fact, AI will reshape the work of every knowledge worker. Software development is simply the most immediate and natural testing ground, given its digital nature. What AI can do really well is automate the mechanical aspects of the job. In software development, if we provide a precise description, AI can write code for us. However, we are still far away from the day when AI will decide what software systems need to be built and which products should be developed. Therefore, this will not reduce the need for software developers. We still need qualified people who can think critically and solve hard problems and we continue to need them for the foreseeable future. Every knowledge worker will eventually need to work alongside AI. Students should not base what they decide to study on the fear of AI disruption. They should pursue areas they are passionate about — those that spark creativity and allow them to positively impact society. 32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By using quotations. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving a definition. D. By making a comparison. 33. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning his experience in paragraph 2? A. The achievement of his work. B. The requirement of a Google job. C. The nature of computer science. D. The application of learning coding. 34. What can AI do in software development? A. It develops products people want. B. It decides which systems to build. C. It reduces software developers’ need. D. It generates code from instructions. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Focus on Passion Instead of Fear B. Keep Learning Tech in an AI World C. Coding Jobs Face Great Uncertainty D. Computer Science Builds Problem Solvers 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。 The Glorious Labor of Taking Care of a Vast Grassland I was giving a talk about the invasive (入侵) weeds in our grassland. I was describing the hot, sweaty work of maintaining some 30 acres. Then came a question from the audience. “Why do you do it?” a man asked. His sharp question made me pause for thought. 36 But the man persisted. “Why not just let the grassland become whatever it wants to be? And you could sit under that big maple and sip cold wine instead?” Why do I willfully choose hard labor? If I didn’t do this work in the grassland, it would turn into brushland, which is a natural progression. 37 I could walk or bike or swim in a favorite wilderness lake and spend whole afternoons reading in a beach chair. Yet what makes those easy pleasures truly meaningful is the sense of accomplishment from hard work. My parents, who had barely survived unimaginably tough labor and hardship, raised me to avoid physical discomfort. 38 Laboring in the elements was at the top of their list of things to be avoided. But I enjoyed physical outdoor activities. Physical labor is a celebration of our body’s capabilities. We’ve evolved to move and make efforts. Our bodies need constant physical activity. 39 Working slowly lets me notice birds and bees playing. When I am lost in these small discoveries, I find peace in these quiet moments. The tiredness from labor is a “good” tiredness. I gave a meager (敷衍的) answer to the man with the difficult question. 40 Instead, this is what I could have said — An easy life may not add up to happiness. A. I thought I had explained it in my talk. B. The grassland is a source of happiness. C. Surely there are less tiring ways to stay fit. D. They hoped I could take more outdoor activities. E. Besides physical need, there is pleasure in the work. F. They wanted me to live easily with brains, not strength. G. I just mentioned the value of labor when maintaining a grassland. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I had high hopes of breaking four hours at my second New York City Marathon in 2021. I’d devoted several months to 41 for speed work. But around 10 miles in, I knew I wasn’t going to 42 it. A slow start and simple mistakes such as overeating left me feeling sick.

Still, I wanted my training efforts to 49 with a better performance. So, I signed up for the Half Marathon shortly afterwards.

Failure teaches the brain to change and 52 ,” she added. By not giving up during the marathon, I had already taken an important step toward future 53 . This idea of learning from failure stayed with me. In the half marathon, I ran strongly and achieved a personal 54 , cutting six minutes off my previous time. The experience taught me that while goals like personal records are important, the true 55 lies in the journey. 41. A. testing B. learning C. training D. competing 42.

A fleet of over 200 ships navigated the blue seas, with almost 28,000 people on board, 56 was a splendid scene. According to some records, the largest ships were over 140 metres in length, 57 (demonstrate) the advanced technology and special skills used in constructing ships. Between 1405 and 1433, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He made a total of seven voyages. His ships 58 (load) with china, silk, tea and other treasures as gifts for foreign rulers, and the fleet paid friendly visits 59 more than 30 countries and regions. As they sailed, the navigators took compass readings, kept logs of their voyages 60 charted the coast. Later the detailed maps became Zheng He’s Navigation Map. Zheng He’s seven voyages had 61 far-reaching impact on China and its neighbors.

Eleven-year-old Timmy Carter walked home from school, his hands tucked (塞进) into the pockets of his navy blue jacket. It was an ordinary day — until he spotted something lying on the pavement near the entrance of a small bakery. Timmy stopped in his tracks. It was a brown leather wallet. He bent down and picked it up, his heart pounding with curiosity. Looking around, he saw no one in sight. The bakery owner was busy serving a customer, and the pedestrians hurried along, lost in their world. Timmy hesitated before opening the wallet. Inside, there were new pound notes, neatly tucked into a compartment. He had never held so much money in his hands before. His eyes widened at the sight of a bank card, a few receipts, and a driving licence with the name “Mr. Edward Thompson.” Timmy’s fingers tightened around the wallet. His mind raced. Should I keep it? The thought flashed for just a second. After all, no one had seen him pick it up. His mother had recently mentioned how tight money had been, and his favorite football boots were on sale at the local sports shop. No one would ever know... But then, another thought surfaced. What if this belonged to someone who needed it? His father always said, “Doing the right thing is easy to talk about but hard to do when temptation (欲望) is in front of you.” Timmy stood there, unsure of his next move. Just then, his best friend Jake rode up on his bicycle. “Hey, Tim! What’s that?” Timmy hesitated, then held up the wallet. “I found it near the bakery. It’s got money and a bank card inside.” Jake shrugged. “Well, you could keep it. Finders keepers, right?” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Timmy was faced with a difficult choice.

Let’s join hands to safeguard our precious treasure for generations! Remember, every small action counts. Yours, Li Hua 写作第二节 【参考范文】 Timmy was faced with a difficult choice. After all, the cash was a strong temptation to get his family through tight days. However, his father’s words about integrity echoed in his ears. He shook his head firmly, telling Jake keeping the wallet was wrong, and that they should return it to the owner. Jake was soon persuaded and agreed to accompany Timmy. They checked the address on the driving licence and found it was just a few blocks away. Determined, they headed for Mr. Thompson’s home together. When Timmy and Jake knocked at the door, an old man appeared. It was Mr. Edward Thompson, who looked worried and anxious. Timmy held out the wallet, explaining that he had found it outside the bakery. Upon seeing his lost wallet, Mr. Thompson’s face lit up with relief and joy. After making sure all his possessions were inside, he expressed sincere gratitude, spoke highly of Timmy’s virtue and tried to reward him, yet Timmy declined it gracefully. Only then did Jake understand Timmy’s choice. Walking back, they felt proud and joyful, realizing that honesty brought them more happiness than money ever could. 二、听力材料 Text 1 W: It’s been over half an hour since I ordered the noodles. I’m wondering if I should check on it. M: You could give them a call to see what’s going on. W: Oh, someone is knocking. Maybe it’s the delivery man. Text 2 M: Do you want to share a taxi to the airport? We can save on expenses that way, and as you know the company is trying to cut costs. W: Actually, I’m not flying. I’m going to the conference by bus. Text 3 W: Hi, Peter. I just heard you have an artistic swimming class. How is it going? M: That is cool. I can dance upside down underwater, but it is challenging to keep a steady breathing rhythm. Text 4 M: Amy, I feel so dizzy. W: Did you have breakfast? Dizziness could be the body’s signal that your blood sugar levels are too low. M: No. Maybe I should have a piece of candy before the staff meeting. Text 5 M: I bought a camera from your store two weeks ago, but it hasn’t worked properly for some time. Here’s my receipt. I know it’s within the guarantee period. W: We’re sorry about that. Since you’ve been a regular customer, I’ll just give you a replacement. Text 6 W: Your passport and ticket, please. M: Sure. May I pick my seat? W: Of course. We have aisle, middle and window seats. M: It’s my first flight. I hope to enjoy the clouds and the scenery outside. W: Got it. I’ve reserved a suitable seat for you. Your luggage is two kilos overweight.

But do you know its country of origin? W: Italy, of course! M: Actually, stories suggest that Italian traders might have gotten this food from China. Noodles were introduced to European traders who visited China. And they brought this Chinese cuisine to the West! W: Which other foods have surprising origins? M: Many! Countries like France, America, and China made their pancake styles world-famous. But this famous dish may have its origins in Greece. W: What about sausages? M: Oh, sausages are the most delicious food. And Germany makes some of the best around. But this food is likely from the Middle East. W: Wow! You know a lot about food history. M: Yeah. Thanks. Let’s finish eating quickly. The department meeting is coming up soon. Text 8 M: Hey, Sara！ My son’s birthday is coming up, and I have no idea what book to get him. Do you have any awesome picture book recommendations? W: Perfect timing, Terry! I just finished a fantastic one with my daughter — The Trouble with Children! M: What’s the book about? W: This story, from a dog’s perspective, captures chaotic but sweet family moments — like dress-ups, tight hugs, and toys in the water bowl. Blending humor and heart, it offers fresh insights into child-pet bonds and builds empathy. M: I have a dog at home, so this definitely hits close to home. W: Trust me, you and your son will love the book! M: Thanks for the tip! I’ll grab a copy in the downtown bookshop this afternoon. Text 9 W: David, look at this photo I took in Venice! I captured the quiet riverside scenery there. M: Wow, this view is beautiful! But I didn’t know you went to Venice. So, when did you take the trip? W: I started planning a trip there in 2024. But it took me a whole year to finally decide to go. I almost gave up because I hesitated so much. M: Why? Did you have a problem with time or money? W: Money mainly. I was careful about my spending, so I kept thinking it was too expensive. M: Did anyone convince you to go in the end? W: Yes! A friend looked at me and asked, “If not now, when? You might never get this chance again.” That question really hit home. M: Was it as great as you hoped? W: Even better! Talking to local shopkeepers, watching sunsets over Venice — all those moments were priceless. It taught me some experiences are totally worth spending money on. M: That’s such a cool lesson. I hope I can take a trip like that! Text 10 Good evening, dear listeners.
