Disposal Way Percentage Recycling 9% ☒Land-filling50% NBurning 19%Leaking into land oceans 22% Turning waste plastic into clean hydrogen is an effective way to cut plastic pollution and ease energy shortage.The following are the five widely studied industrial technologies. Solar-driven photoreforming: Traditional water splitting: Uses sunlight and photo-catalysts(光催化剂)to break Consumes huge amounts of electric power down plastic at low temperatures;saves more energy; allows some devices to run over 100 hours continuously and cannot take waste plastic as raw to produce hydrogen and chemicals. materials. PLASTIC-TO-HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGIES Thermal steam reforming: Microwave catalytic cracking: Electrocatalytic reforming: Works for all kinds of waste Works at room temperature and Fits most waste plastic and plastic but requires massive heat splits plastic quickly,yet only cuts power use,yet relies on under high-temperature conditions. suits PET plastic. expensive catalysts. None of these five methods can be widely put into use currently.Mixed plastic types and various additives disturb conversion ()reactions;existing photo-catalysts fail gradually after long-time use,and separating mixed liquid from gas products consumes extra energy. Professor Duan Xiaoguang points out,"We need more stable catalysts and better system designs to ensure the technology is both efficient and economically practical on a large scale."Lu Xiao 高二英语试题第3页（共10页） ▣▣ CS扫描全能王 问3亿人都在用的扫描APp 3. adds,"With continued innovation,solar-powered plastic-to-fuel technologies could play a key role in building a sustainable,low-carbon future. 21.What percentage of waste plastic fails to be recycled? A.50%. B.69%. C.72%, D.91%. 22.Which technology suits all the waste plastic? A.Thermal steam reforming. B.Traditional water splitting. C.Electrocatalytic reforming. D.Solar-driven photoreforming. 23.What does Professor Duan suggest regarding the five methods? A.Transforming solar energy fully. B.Reducing energy consumption. C.Upgrading catalysts and designs. D.Promoting them on a large scale B Most of the time,things don't work out for owners in the sport of horse racing."You have so many things that just do not go your way.I mean,you lose the majority of your races,"said Adam S.Ainspan.Life is much the same:setbacks (are common on the road to success. Yet Ainspan stood out from many others,for he possessed an extraordinary ability to discover hidden talent. His most remarkable achievement lies in cultivating（驯养)Beau“Bo”Jangles,an outstanding racehorse.It has earned huge prize money and won top honors across the US and Canada.The horse was named the 2025 Dan Patch Horse of the Year,the first winner outside American racetracks. Ainspan's career as a vet（兽医)gave him the“scout'seye”necessary to identify greatness in Bo.His background allowed him to see past the surface,identifying talent where others saw risk.Ainspan credits that double perspective-the ability to judge racing horses from different sides-as the secret to his success. Ainspan's decision to buy the one-year-old Beau "Bo"Jangles perfectly reflected his sharp insight and accurate judgment.His partners doubted the horse,worrying that its large build would hold back its athletic performance.However,Ainspan noticed its flexible and efficient movement from a sales video.He trusted his own judgment firmly and refused to be influenced by others'doubts."Without my professional experience related to horses,I don't think I ever would have picked him."Eventually,he spent $65,000 to purchase the horse. Looking ahead to Bo's next campaign,Ainspan said that he remains "cautiously optimistic."Such extraordinary insight has accompanied him all the way on this journey. 24.What can be learned about most horse owners in horse racing? A.They suffer frequent defeats. B.They work out on racing days. C.They fail to follow their usual path.D.They depend on luck to win races. 25.What does the underlined word "scout's eye"in paragraph 3 mean? A.A whole picture of horse racing. B.A sharp ability to find talent. C.A strong sense of responsibility. D.A skill to diagnose complex illnesses. 高二英语试题第4项（共10页) ▣▣ CS扫描全能王 问3亿人都在用的扫描APp 4 26.What does Ainspan's words indicate in paragraph 4? A.Others'opinions make a difference.B.Choices outweigh one's hard work. C.One's professional experience matters.D.Personal judgment needs great courage. 27.What is Ainspan's attitude towards Bo's next campaign? A.Calm but excited. B.Positive but reserved. C.Curious but worried. D.Confident but unrealistic. 0 Picture two grandmothers,both in their late sixties,heading to their local market on a Monday morning.One in Ulaanbaatar,Mongolia,uses her phone to pay for vegetables and check her pension ()The other in Manila,the Philippines,counts banknotes as usual while her phone in pocket. The contrast appears in the Global Findex 2025 database covering over 140 countries. About 90%of Mongolian seniors make digital payments,while the figure is nearly zero in the Philippines and Indonesia.New analysis shows a clear divide in digital financial inclusion- widespread use of digital financial services across generations and regions.By 2050,one in four people will turn 60.So how the elderly use digital services decides personal well-being and broader economic resilience(抗风险能力). China and Mongolia see high digital use among the elderly.WeChat Pay and Alipay have built widespread payment systems in China.The government in Mongolia sends pensions directly to digital accounts,letting seniors pay daily expenses digitally. However,seniors in Indonesia still get government subsidies (in cash.Local mobile wallets mainly serve young people.For lack of reliable internet access and basic digital skills, seniors can't make the most of digital financial services,despite having related needs.Their financial resilience is also limited.That is,if they lose income,they can only cover expenses in cash for two months at most,in which case their only solution is to ask family or friends for help. All these mean that financial inclusion does not improve seniors'financial conditions. Thankfully,these challenges will hopefully be overcome.A new World Bank report shares effective policy experience from the Republic of Korea to help solve these tough challenges.The report shows that digital financial inclusion is far more than just spreading digital financial services.In truth,it is intended to help elderly people achieve better financial security in the long run. 28.What can we learn from the Global Findex 2025 database? A.Indonesian seniors hardly use digital payments. B.Mongolian seniors rank first in digital payments. C.The divide in digital financial inclusion is narrowing. D.Seniors who use digital services will become happier. 29.Why are Mongolian seniors able to make digital payments? A.They merely have digital accounts. B.Policies discourage cash withdrawals. C.WeChat Pay offers particular assistance. D.They enjoy proper digital payment services. 高二英语试题第5页（共10页） 回利回 CS扫描全能王 百：3亿人都在用的扫描ApP .5. 30.What is the goal of the digital financial inclusion for the elderly? A.To gain foreign policy experience. B.To spread financial security tips. C.To enhance their economic security. D.To ensure their steady income growth. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Seniors'Digital Finance Divide B.Cash Payments and Mobile Wallets C.Digital Payments and Financial Risks D.Digital Benefits to Mongolian Seniors D Edward Kang,a 17-year-old high school student from New Jersey,has developed an AI tool called RetinaMind.The system analyzes patients'retinal (images and diagnoses (brain-related disorders with an accuracy of 89%. Three years ago,while working on a school project,Kang came across a study by researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong,which used retinal images to diagnose autism ()Fascinated by this creative idea,he set out to improve the original model.In the end,he created RetinaMind to diagnose both autism spectrum disorder (ASD)and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In America,1 in 54 children is affected by ASD and nearly seven million kids suffer from ADHD.These two brain disorders have no obvious physical signs,so doctors mainly depend on behavioral tests for diagnosis.Though early treatment can greatly improve patients'long-term conditions,early diagnosis is still quite difficult.Kang hopes his invention will help realize early diagnosis and bring a better life to patients around the world. Kang learned programming and machine learning all by himself via online courses.He first copied the model from a research paper and later updated it to detect ADHD.He believed a useful examining tool should tell different illnesses apart.However,telling one mental illness from another is far harder.So Kang used more complex calculation methods to make his model work better,which makes final results much more believable and accurate. This tool can automatically discover and combine extremely subtle retinal patterns that are far too complex for humans to recognize,which makes them powerful enough to make diagnoses. However,experts warn that retinal differences are not only seen in ASD and ADHD,but also appear in many other brain-related illnesses.Kang agrees and plans to upgrade his tool to classify autism into mild,moderate and severe types,to provide more targeted treatment and support for sick children. 32.What inspired Edward Kang to develop RetinaMind? A.His school project on brain-related disorders. B.A model diagnosing patients'retinal illnesses. C.His sudden thought of diagnosing ASD and ADHD. D.A study applying retinal images to diagnose autism. 高二英语试题第6页（共10页） CS扫描全能王 问3亿人都在用的扫描APp 33.Why are the situations of ASD and ADHD mentioned in paragraph 3? A.To reveal issues of current diagnostic tests. B.To draw public attention to children's health. C.To illustrate the high cost of brain disorders. D.To highlight the necessity of the invention. 34.What can we infer from Kang's research process? A.The latest model could tell all mental illnesses apart. B.Kang copied established models with little creativity. C.Calculation methods improved his model's accuracy. D.Kang took online classes to deepen his medical research. 35.What does Kang intend to do next? A.Offer professional treatment to patients. B.Seek more support from medical experts. C.Recognize types of brain-related illnesses D.Better his model for detailed classification. 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能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Many people simply go to the gym or spend all their time on sports like soccer-competitive group activities.However,finding a balance between these two worlds creates a more well-rounded approach to health.It keeps the mind focused and the body prepared for any challenge.36 This balanced combination brings unique physical benefits.Athletes find that their coordination(协调能力)improves when they leave the sports field and enter the gym.Gym training builds strength and endurance,while sports put these into practical use.37 Adults who stick to both endurance exercise and strength training are about 50%less likely to die from the flu. The mixture also improves mental fitness.Sports require quick thinking and strategy under pressure.Gym work provides the discipline needed to complete those moves.38 Moreover, mental tiredness disappears when you switch from a repetitive workout.The brain stays active by learning new rules and reacting to opponents.Finally you develop better focus and a stronger drive to succeed in all areas. In terms of long-term health,a diverse routine helps keep lifelong exercise habits.Mixing gym activities with group sports builds both social bonds and physical strength.More importantly,a diverse routine makes it easier to stay consistent when motivation drops.39 Turn to team sports for support when you need more energy. So enjoy the best of both worlds with a little planning.40 Every workout makes you stronger and better. 高二英语试题第7页（共10页） CS扫描全能王 问3亿人都在用的扫描APp 7 A.Enough motivation will stop you pausing.

As the vehicle crashed through a fence,tore across several residential backyards,and slid rapidly toward a nearby pond,Olivia screamed,"Help!Help!"By the time the SUV threw itself into the cold pond water,she was completely overwhelmed by fear and helplessness. The violent crash made a loud sound,and it was this sudden loud crash that caught the attention of 33-year-old Yianni Sarris,who was helping his father cut down trees in the backyard of his parents'home at that moment. Sarris witnessed the entire shocking scene of the out-of-control SUV.Realizing that there were people trapped in the sinking vehicle,Sarris rushed straight toward the pond.Noticing several neighbors drawn by the crash were rushing toward the pond,Sarris didn't even pause to exchange a word-he just jumped in.
