Unlike conventional mechanical recycling,which typically only processes clean plastic and results in degraded products,this new chemical approach offers a distinct advantage.It can effectively break g 必 down even polluted plastic waste recovered from the ocean into its fundamental chemical components, ensuring a much higher quality of recycling. The technology operates on a straightforward yet efficient principle.It employs a low-temperature d catalyst (to dissolve common plastic waste-including bottles,fishing nets,and food packaging-into pure ethylene glycol ()a crucial material for manufacturing new plastics, textiles,and even fuel.In field trials off the California coast,the system achieved an impressive 95% processing rate of collected ocean plastic with minimal waste,far surpassing the 60%average of mechanical recycling.Additionally,it consumes 30%less energy,thereby significantly reducing carbon emissions associated with plastic production. Dr.Maya Patel,the project's lead scientist,emphasized the technology's transformative potential. "Mechanical recycling is merely a temporary solution,"she stated."This chemical method transforms plastic waste into a valuable resource,closing the cycle on plastic production and easing the demand for new plastic gained from fossil fuels." The technology is currently undergoing practical evaluation by a global environmental organization, with plans to establish mobile recycling stations in coastal regions by 2026.While the initial setup costs are considerable,the researchers note that the economic value of the recycled materials will make it financially achievable for small coastal communities to adopt within three years. 28.Where do the differences between new and conventional technologies lie? A.Basic chemical components. B.Cleanliness of processed plastic. C.Final recycled products. D.Recycling quality and efficiency. 29.Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3? A.To prove the new technology's superiority. B.To stress the urgency of pollution eontrol. C.To explain the working prineiple clearly. D.To show wide uses of recycled materials. 高二英语第6页（共12页） ▣减▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣ 30.What can be inferred about the new technology from the last paragraph? A.It'll cut down the price of materials. B.It's highly valued by the government. C.It will soon be applied in coastal areas. D.It's been used in many recycling stations. 31.What is the main idea of the text? A.Fossil fuels lead to ocean plastic pollution. B.Mechanical recycling handles ocean plastic waste. C.A new technology tackles ocean plastic efficiently. D.Low-temperature catalyst helps dissolve plastic waste. D Today,I wake up and check my wearable tracker to see how many hours I've slept.Then I input what I eat for breakfast so I can monitor my calorie intake.My tracker also counts my steps,and I aim for at least 10,000 each day.And every once in a while,I monitor my heart rate and my blood oxygen level.It's estimated that more than 1 in 5 American adults now use some kind of wearable biotracker. But does more data lead to better health? Trackers help individuals monitor their behavior or health,which can help bring awareness to areas of health that need to be improved.They can also help with motivation and goal setting and may also nudge people toward their goals by offering reminders.Studies show that the use of an activity tracker improved physical activity by an average of 1,800 extra steps each day.These devices also help monitor chronic()conditions,providing useful information for doctors outside of regular visits. But while there are undeniably many benefits to using wellness devices,studies have pointed to a number of potential risks as well. Wearables often struggle to detect the difference between sleeping time and inactive behavior. What's worse,over-reliance on trackers can harm mental health.Focusing too much on numbers may cause stress or anxiety.Some people become fascinated by exercise or calories,and others feel like failures if they don't meet their goals.Matthews,a doctor of behavioral health,says,"Imagine if you have a technology that allows you to do that throughout the day,and you notice that your heart rate is higher than it was 10 minutes ago.Now it's slower.It can open the door to a kind of neurotic( behavior.For these people,more information can be a source of physiological as well as psychological stress. 高二英语第7页（共12页） ▣▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 Trackers can be helpful,but we should not be controlled by data.We need to listen to our bodies instead of depending only on numbers.We should take periodic breaks from tracking and remember that we are more than just a set of numbers and data. 32.How does the author introduce the topic? A.By presenting exercise goals. B.By sharing personal experience. C.By praising the wearable tracker. D.By estimating user numbers in the US. 33.What does the underlined word "nudge"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Warn. B.Push. C.Train. D.Protect. 34.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about wearable trackers? A.Their side effects. B.Their usage methods. C.Their psychological benefits. D.Their medical value. 35.What's the best title for the text? A.Our Health,Our Choices? B.Our Data,Ourselves? C.Our Bodies and Our Rules D.Our Life with Smart Trackers 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。 Poetry has been used for centuries to comfort,inspire,and heal ()36 Unlike ordinary speech,poetry uses rhythm,imagery,and metaphor to reach parts of the mind that logic alone cannot touch. When we read a poem that mirrors our own feelings,we feel understood.This experience eases loneliness and helps us accept our emotions as they are.37 Many therapists ( recommend reading specific poems to patients struggling with grief or anxiety,as structured poetry provides a safe container for overwhelming feelings 38 Putting painful or confusing experiences into poetic form helps us process and make sense of them.You don't need to be a skilled poet;simply trying to find the right words for a feeling can be deeply healing. Poetry also changes how we see problems.39 This fresh perspective trains our mental flexibility,which is key to emotional strength,allowing us to move past rigid thinking patterns.For example,a poem about a broken vase might help reframe a loss as something that can be repaired or transformed. 高二英语第8页（共12页） ▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣ Moreover,sharing poems with others fosters genuine connection.Reading a poem aloud in a group,whether in a classroom or a family setting,builds empathy and trust.In a time when digital communication often disconnects us,poetry offers a shared human experience-a moment when voices, breaths,and silences are synchronized(同步的).40 So next time you feel overwhelmed,try picking up a poem-or writing one.You might be surprised by its healing power. A.Writing poetry is also powerful. B.Writing slows down racing thoughts. C.The secret lies in how it uses language. D.These shared moments remind us we are never truly alone. E.It serves as a safe outlet for feelings that are hard to express. F.However,not everyone can benefit from poetry in the same way. G.A good poem often presents a familiar situation from a strange new angle. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After over a decade working as a hospital cleaner,Shay Taylor-Allen is back at the same hospital.
