B Like everybody else,I was addicted to my devices.When realizing its harm,I decided to make a change. "I'm doing Tech-Free Sundays now!"I told my mother,on the Saturday night before my no-tech joumey started."Oh,"she said."So are you giving up,like,the wheel?"I defined my terms.No:computer,phone,iPad.No:email,Twitter,Instagram. Yes:wheels,modern medicine. But when I woke up in the morning,I failed.The problem was my work:I needed to meet a deadline.I thought I could just use the computer for work,and wouldn't check Twitter.And I didn't,for many hours.And then I did.It was right there!And though I checked it very briefly,just in case anyone was mad at me,the spell was broken. But the beautiful thing about Sundays is that there is always another one.The next week,I changed my approach:no tech,at all.This time,I was prepared.On Saturday, I made a list of everything I wanted to accomplish over the weekend,and then worked my way through all the parts that require technology.And then I put my phone down, and when I woke up on Tech-Free Sunday,I did not pick it up again. Instead,I finish a book-one with paper!Do you know how pleasurable it is to read a book by touching it?It is a delight,like petting a very literary cat.However,the trouble came when I went to meet a friend.I was running late,but had no way to tell her because my phone was at home. Was I relaxed on such a Sunday?It was an unfamiliar feeling,but I was.I felt a sense of control over my life.But because life is nothing if not a learning process,the next weekend,I told everyone who might need to get in touch with me that I would not be reachable on Sunday. 24.What can we infer from the author's conversation with her mother?

A.I Realized the Harm of Devices B.I Tried Going Tech-Free on Sundays C.Being Addicted to Devices Is Harmful D."Tech-Free Sundays"Become Popular c 400 million tons of plastic are generated annually,most of which comes from single-use plastic.While countries are making progress in reducing this waste through paper bags and straws,there are still applications where the properties of plastic are necessary. Transparent (wood is an alternative for such applications and is highly preferred since it prevents the harm of petroleum-derived(石油衍生的)plastic products.Gemman scientist Siegfiied Fink first created transparent wood in the year 1992,and over the past three decades it has been significantly improved by other researchers as well. In its natural form,wood is not transparent.However,researchers have found that removing lignin,a naturally occurring biopolymer that provides structural support for the plant tissue,can make it transparent.To do so,the wood is soaked in a warm solution consisting of multiple chemicals,followed by boiling it in another solution. This removes the lignin completely and turns the wood white.However,the space that was occupied by lignin needs to be filled up to maintain structural integrity.This process is done by using a resin (at a temperature of 185 Fahrenheit(85C). The final product can have as much as 90 transparency,and it doesn't break easily More importantly,it is more biodegradable than glass or plastic. While transparent wood isn't commercial yet,it has been employed in a wide variety of applications ranging from construction to energy storage,making flexible electronics and packaging. The researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)conducted a life-cycle analysis (LCA)of transparent wood to determine the environmental impact of its production and end-of-life(EOL)cycle.The study found that using hydrogen peroxide for delignification,followed by using epoxy for infiltration,was the most eco-friendly When scaled up for industrial production,the former method would lower electricity consumption by as much as 98.8 percent. EOL analysis showed that transparent wood had a reduced ecological impact compared to polyethylene(聚乙烯)，paving the way for it to be commercially adapted to replace the petroleum-based material. 28.Why is transparent wood preferred compared to plastic? A.It is environmentally fiiendly. B.It can be used repeatedly C.It can be used longer. D.It is easier to make. 29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The natural form of wood. B.The importance of chemicals C.How lignin keeps wood strong. D.How transparent wood is made 30.What did the researchers at IIT find about transparent wood? A.Potential damage caused by it to the environment. B.The most eco-friendly way to produce it. C.It will replace plastic soon. D.It can be recycled. 31.What can be expected of transparent wood's marketing? A.Promising. C.rewarding D.Uncertain. D Nowadays with the development of technology,people have gradually depended on the mobile phones seriously.Many people,especially young adults,like to use social media to connect with others.However,everyone takes no notice of an important point.That's face-to-face communication between people is missing Social media is all about connecting with others.But a new study suggests that too much social media use makes people feel alone and lonely.The study finds that heavy use of platfomms such as Facebook,TikTok,and Instagram leads to isolation among young adults. In the study Brian Primack and his team interviewed 1,787 U.S.adults aged 19 to 32 about their use of social media platforms.Surprisingly,people that spend more time on social media feel lonelier than others. Tom Kersting,a psychotherapist((心理治疗师)，said"Although people think being on social media all the time makes them connected to others,they are actually disconnected,because the more time one spends behind a screen,the less time one spends face-to-face."Kersting continued."They are spending a lot of time looking at everyone else's posts,where they are,where they are going and what they are doing The constant connection to others'perfect life experiences causes feelings of being left out,and of being lonely." So what's the answer?"It's simple,"says Kersting,"All you need to do is to have a strong will.The solution to this is to refuse the addiction to looking at everyone else's life.Just focus on your own life,where you're going,what you are grateful for, and what you want to achieve in this world.Then go out and do it,and stop wasting so much time comparing." 32.What can be known about young adults in Paragraph 1? A.They feel forgotten by their fiiends. B.They lack face-to-face communication C.They depend too much on social media for learning D.They can't keep up with the development of technology. 33.What does the underlined word "isolation"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Addiction.B.Loneliness. C.Satisfaction. D.Sadness 34.What can be done to prevent people feeling left out and lonely? A.Learn to improve one's social ability B.Share one's own perfect life with friends. C.Cut down the time spent on social activities. D.Concentrate on one's own life rather than others'. 35.What can be the best title for the text? A.Social Media May Not be so Social B.Others'Perfect Life May Not be Perfect C.Face-to-Face Communication Comes First D.Our Life Will be Destroyed by Social Media 第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。（共5小题，每小题2.5分；计12.5分） How To Fight Back-To-School Anxiety August is the time to prepare for a new school year.36 These simple tips can help you or someone you love deal with the year ahead 37 Like any new activity,a new school year is always easier when you're prepared for it.Get your class schedule in advance so you know exactly what to expect that first day.Make sure you're prepared with all the supplies you'll need.If you'll be attending a new school,get familiar with the campus in advance of the first week.

Finally,the big day came.On that wonderful night,after everyone went to bed,I slipped out of bed,took my longest,cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel ()Obviously,the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character.Staring at the sock and imagining the delicately-packed gift in it,I couldn't help giggling ()For the first time,I found it hard to fall asleep. And for the first time,I woke up before everyone else in the early morning.Then I headed straight to the fireplace and was even ready for what to say after seeing the gift However,what happened next was the least thing I wanted to mention.On the nail was the empty and lonely sock.I was hit with the reality of the empty sock and the biggest lie ever told.I tried my best to hold back my tears but failed.Bursting into tears,I quickly took down the sock and stuffed it in the back of a drawer Every December since then,the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up,and I would amuse my fiiends with my poor-little-me story.I had to make it as funny as possible,or else I would cry once again.I didn't know whether any of my audience ever noticed the sparkling tears hidden in my eyes. How could I know that Santa was just late?Nine years ago,on Christmas Eve,I heard a knock on the door when I was watching TV.Unwillingly,I dragged my feet and opened the door. Paragraph 1: Outside the door stood an old man with a white beard and a red cap,holding a well-packed box. Paragraph 2: Through tearful eyes,I recognized the handwriting on the card.
