Can wine corks(酒瓶塞) be used in architecture This is the innovation(创新) that Yan Sze Hon, a 31-year-old Hong Kong man, is striving for in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Great Bay Area(GBA).
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Yan came to Guangzhou in 2021 after several years of doing remodeling projects for old houses in Portugal. With the establishment of the GBA, “I saw the great opportunity and market prospects(前景) in the area,” Yan said.
Yan wanted to bring back an innovative idea from Portugal—using wine corks as an environmentally friendly building material.
“I love wine, and Portugal is the largest cork producer in the world,” Yan said. “It occurred to me that by recycling the corks, we can actually use them inside doors and walls to make them more sound-proof, which can provide a quieter private space for people.” According to Yan, he was one of the first to put this idea into practice, and obtained success in Portugal.
“Now I want to be the one that takes the first step in China,” Yan said.
Yan said that companies like his have benefited a lot from the supportive policies of the GBA. Since the establishment of the GBA, Guangdong has built 13 innovation and entrepreneurship bases, providing resources and services for nearly 600 Hong Kong and Macao entrepreneurship teams. He chose Guangzhou’s Tianhe district because it offers cheaper accommodation and office space to Hong Kong and Macao businessmen. “Also, the opening of new ports has made it very convenient for the flow of goods and talented people,” Yan said.
“I’m sure GBA will be the right place for me to start my business on the Chinese mainland,” Yan said. One day, he wants his business to operate in Shanghai, Zhejiang and more places.
4. What innovation is Yan Sze Hon trying to achieve in the GBA
A. Designing environment-friendly buildings.
B. Using wine corks as a building material.
C. Establishing an architectural enterprise.
D. Remodeling projects for the old houses.
5. What can we know about the wine corks
A. They are accessible in the world.
B. They can create a soundless place.
C. They do harm to the environment.
D. They have been recycled in Portugal.
6. How have companies like Yan Sze Hon’s benefited from the local support
A. They have access to cheaper accommodation and offices.
B. They have been able to hire talented people to the GBA.
C. They have been granted loans for innovative projects.
D. They have received financial support from the 13 bases.
7. Which of the following can best describe Yan Sze Hon

C
Have you ever argued with a friend, and said or done something you regretted Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt. Knowing how to apologise can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.
We argue for all kinds of reasons. You might think your football team is fantastic but your friend disagrees; or maybe your sister is being really annoying. Sometimes, especially if you’re angry, things can spiral out of control and you’ll say or do something you regret. Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal — we all do it — but it’s important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don’t get worse. This is where an apology can help.
We all make mistakes, and apologising is a way of admitting we’ve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. Dr. Jennifer Thomas, a psychologist and author, believes an apology needs to show the other person that we’re genuinely (真诚地) sorry, we accept responsibility for our actions and we want their forgiveness.
Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it’s not your fault. If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel. If you still can’t agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.
Sorry on its own might not always be enough, so try to ask the other person how they felt while you were arguing. Explain your side too, and make it clear you’ll try not to repeat the same mistake again. A genuine apology isn’t a magic wand (魔杖); it may take some time for someone to understand and forgive. Even after you’ve said sorry, you could still feel bad but you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.
8. Why is it important to resolve differences after an argument
A. To ensure that bad feelings worsen over time. B. To maintain relationship and prevent damage.
C. To avoid taking responsibility for one’s action. D. To establish leading power over one’s friends.
9. What does the underlined word “spiral” mean in paragraph 2
A. Stop. B. Decrease. C. Increase. D. Win.
10. Which of the following situation can happen after a genuine apology
A. Both parties will forget the argument. B. Forgiveness could take quite a while.
C. The person apologizing can calm down. D. Relationships will improve immediately.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of Apologies B. The Causes of Arguments
C. The Significance of Forgiveness D. The Benefits of Communication
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在争吵后解决分歧很重要，因为要维持关系，防止伤害，这就需要人们进行道歉，文章讲述了道歉的重要性以及方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt. Knowing how to apologise can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place. (有时候很难把事情纠正过来，尤其是当感情受到伤害的时候。知道如何道歉可以帮助你们再次成为朋友，并理解为什么你们一开始就闹翻了)”以及第二段“Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal — we all do it — but it’s important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don’t get worse.(偶尔与他人争论和不同意是正常的——我们都这样做——但重要的是在事后解决你们的分歧，这样不好的感觉就不会变得更糟)”可知，在争吵后解决分歧很重要因为要维持关系，防止伤害。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Sometimes, especially if you’re angry”以及后文“you’ll say or do something you regret”可知，有时候，特别是当你生气的时候，事情可能会加速失控，你会说或做一些让你后悔的事情。故划线词意思是“增加，加速”。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“A genuine apology isn’t a magic wand (魔杖); it may take some time for someone to understand and forgive.(真诚的道歉不是魔法棒；别人可能需要一段时间才能理解和原谅你)”可知，真诚的道歉后会出现的情况是原谅可能需要一段时间。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“We all make mistakes, and apologising is a way of admitting we’ve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. Dr. Jennifer Thomas, a psychologist and author, believes an apology needs to show the other person that we’re genuinely (真诚地) sorry, we accept responsibility for our actions and we want their forgiveness.(我们都会犯错，道歉是一种承认自己犯错的方式，我们会努力不再犯错。心理学家兼作家詹妮弗·托马斯博士认为，道歉需要向对方表明我们真的很抱歉，我们愿意为自己的行为承担责任，并希望他们原谅我们)”结合文章主要说明了在争吵后解决分歧很重要因为要维持关系，防止伤害，这就需要人们进行道歉，文章讲述了道歉的重要性以及方式。由此可知，A选项“道歉的力量”最符合文章标题。故选A。

McDonald’s customers are sharing their excitement over an eco-friendly change making its way to select US restaurants. McDonald’s eaters across the globe are used to collecting their burgers in paper wrapping, their fries in cardboard, and their drink in a plastic cup — even if they’re dining inside a McDonald’s restaurant. However, this may become a thing of the past. One American diner said there were reusable containers available at their local McDonald’s for dine-in meals only.
Plastic containers and cups have an environmental cost: Plastics are made using fossil fuels like oil and natural gas. And when these materials are heated to mould (浇铸) plastic, poisons are again released into the air.
According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, about 100 million tons of plastics are produced on an annual basis — releasing an estimated 850 million tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. “Generally, when those plastics go to landfill, they take hundreds of years to break down and slowly release substances into the environment,” Dr. Thornton said.
It is reported in the industry research that about 27 percent of customers at fast food establishments eat at the restaurant. This means McDonald’s could potentially remove a quarter of its packaging waste through a reusable container system. “If you’re comparing the single-use with the reusable, the reusable take a lot more combined in terms of resources, and energy and water and so on. If you use them a sufficient number of times, that’s when they start to become better environmentally.”
Currently, most of the fast-food outlets use paper containers. But in order to truly be sustainable(可持续的), Dr. Thornton said these items should be made of recycled materials — and only distributed to customers on a need-to-use basis. “Don’t use new resources. That’s probably one of the most important things to say,” he said. “Close the loop in terms of recycling, and make sure that they only provide packaging or the amount of packaging as needed.”
12. What is the eco-friendly change in some of the US McDonald’s
A. Recycled plastic cups for drinks.
B. Cardboard packagings for fries.
C. Reusable containers for dine-in meals.
D. Selected paper wrappings for burgers.
13. How much packaging waste could MeDonald’s remove with reusable containers
A. 25%. B. 50%. C. 75%. D. 100%.
14. What does Dr. Thomton suggest on fast-food chains’ sustainability
A. Use paper containers for dine-in meals.
B. Reduce the food waste in their establishments.
C. Make reusable containers out of new materials.
D. Provide necessary recycled packaging to customers.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The impact of McDonald’s on the environment.
B. The cost of plastic containers and cups in McDonald’s.
C. The disadvantage of plastic packaging in fast-food establishments.
D. The significance of sustainable practices in the fast-food industry.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“One American diner said there were reusable containers available at their local McDonald’s for dine-in meals only. (一位美国食客说，他们当地麦当劳的堂食只提供可重复使用的容器)”可知，这一环保变化是可重复使用的堂食容器。故选C项。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Currently, most of the fast-food outlets use paper containers. But in order to truly be sustainable(可持续的), Dr. Thornton said these items should be made of recycled materials — and only distributed to customers on a need-to-use basis. (目前，大多数快餐店使用纸制容器。但是为了真正的可持续发展，Thornton博士说，这些物品应该由可回收材料制成，并且只在需要使用的基础上分发给顾客)”可知，Thornton博士建议为顾客提供必要的可回收的包装。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章以小见大，以美国部分麦当劳餐厅的环保改变——为堂食的顾客提供可重复使用的容器为例，说明了这样的举动可以为环保带来的影响，并从相关专家的角度出发，建议快餐行业使用可回收的包装，只为顾客提供所需的包装或包装数量，从而实现真正的可持续发展。由此可知，文章主要显示了快餐业可持续发展实践的重要性。故选D项。

【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：400多件套有吸引力的德化白瓷在北京中国国家博物馆展出。空处应用形容词作定语，修饰Dehua white porcelain。attractive意为“吸引人的，有吸引力的”。故填attractive。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：德化白瓷，法语被称作“Blanc de Chine”，以其纯白而闻名于世。be known as意为“被称作，作为……出名”，为固定搭配。这里also known as “Blanc de Chine” in French在句中为形容词短语作定语，故填as。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：陈超是一位致力于瓷器研究的艺术家，据他所说，德化瓷器是由德化的高岭土制成的，其铁含量低得令人难以置信。空处应用形容词性物主代词his，作定语。故填his。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。分析句子结构，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，指代先行词the kaolin，指物，且从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：这就是为什么生产的德化瓷器能够纯白无瑕的原因。分析句子结构，空处引导一个表语从句。That指代前文的内容“Dehua porcelain is made from the kaolin (高岭土) in Dehua,____4____has an incredibly low percentage of iron”，根据句意，德化瓷器由德化的高岭土支撑，其铁含量很低，这是德化瓷器纯白无瑕的原因，所以应用why引导。故填why。

【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意：随着几代工匠对技术的改进，博物馆的一件艺术品——“纸”让游客惊叹于它是如何变得如此薄的。空处应用形容词作宾补，修饰visitors，指人，所以应用-ed形式的形容词。amazed意为“惊讶的”。故填amazed。
【49题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：21世纪以来，德化瓷器多次作为礼物赠送给国际友人，成为中国交给世界的一张文化名片。空处应用动词，作谓语。present意为“赠送”，为及物动词。主语为Dehua porcelain，和present之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，且谓语应用单数修饰。根据句中的时间状语for many times可知，这里应用现在完成时。故填has been presented。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意参考上题。根据空后的cultural card可知，这里泛指一张文化名片，应用不定冠词，且空后的cultural发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。

Monday 1 January
Today was a heartwarming start to the new year as my family gathered for a special hotpot dinner. Taking hot pot as our new year dinner is a crucial tradition long shared by my family. On hearing the first beep of my alarm, I fitted into my new-bought clothes and followed my parents to the supermarket for some “hotpot food.” Carrying all the dishes we love back home, we started to prepare for the big night. My mother and I were cutting the vegetable while my father had the floor mopped into a shiny mirror. At night, alongside my parents came my grandparents. We surrounded a round table where the hot pot saw us talked and laughed in high spirits. We took a photo together afterwards when we went for a joyful walk. With a first day like this, I am sure this year will be a wonderful year!
Monday 1 January
Today was a heartwarming start to the new year as my family gathered for a special hotpot dinner. The day began with a shopping for hot pot ingredients, a cherished activity that I eagerly await each year because my parents grant me the liberty to fill our cart with whatever I like in the supermarket. After our satisfying purchases, we returned home and began preparing individually. My mother and I handled the raw ingredients for the hotpot while my father was tidying up the room. The final special hotpot dinner in which all five family members participated became a celebration of the new year and love. It has not only brought happiness to me and my parents, but also touched my grandparents deeply. As we enjoyed our time together, the best thing we could do was to leave an unforgettable impression in our hearts, so we captured the moment in a photograph. What a wonderful day!

Can wine corks(酒瓶塞) be used in architecture This is the innovation(创新) that Yan Sze Hon, a 31-year-old Hong Kong man, is striving for in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Great Bay Area(GBA).
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Yan came to Guangzhou in 2021 after several years of doing remodeling projects for old houses in Portugal. With the establishment of the GBA, “I saw the great opportunity and market prospects(前景) in the area,” Yan said.
Yan wanted to bring back an innovative idea from Portugal—using wine corks as an environmentally friendly building material.
“I love wine, and Portugal is the largest cork producer in the world,” Yan said. “It occurred to me that by recycling the corks, we can actually use them inside doors and walls to make them more sound-proof, which can provide a quieter private space for people.” According to Yan, he was one of the first to put this idea into practice, and obtained success in Portugal.
“Now I want to be the one that takes the first step in China,” Yan said.
Yan said that companies like his have benefited a lot from the supportive policies of the GBA. Since the establishment of the GBA, Guangdong has built 13 innovation and entrepreneurship bases, providing resources and services for nearly 600 Hong Kong and Macao entrepreneurship teams. He chose Guangzhou’s Tianhe district because it offers cheaper accommodation and office space to Hong Kong and Macao businessmen. “Also, the opening of new ports has made it very convenient for the flow of goods and talented people,” Yan said.
“I’m sure GBA will be the right place for me to start my business on the Chinese mainland,” Yan said. One day, he wants his business to operate in Shanghai, Zhejiang and more places.
4. What innovation is Yan Sze Hon trying to achieve in the GBA
A. Designing environment-friendly buildings.
B. Using wine corks as a building material.
C. Establishing an architectural enterprise.
D. Remodeling projects for the old houses.
5. What can we know about the wine corks
A. They are accessible in the world.
B. They can create a soundless place.
C. They do harm to the environment.
D. They have been recycled in Portugal.
6. How have companies like Yan Sze Hon’s benefited from the local support
A. They have access to cheaper accommodation and offices.
B They have been able to hire talented people to the GBA.
C. They have been granted loans for innovative projects.
D. They have received financial support from the 13 bases.
7. Which of the following can best describe Yan Sze Hon
A. Intelligent and humorous. B. Cautious and far-sighted.
C. Ambitious and creative. D. Supportive and outgoing.
C
Have you ever argued with a friend, and said or done something you regretted Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt. Knowing how to apologise can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.
We argue for all kinds of reasons. You might think your football team is fantastic but your friend disagrees; or maybe your sister is being really annoying. Sometimes, especially if you’re angry, things can spiral out of control and you’ll say or do something you regret. Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal — we all do it — but it’s important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don’t get worse. This is where an apology can help.
We all make mistakes, and apologising is a way of admitting we’ve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. Dr. Jennifer Thomas, a psychologist and author, believes an apology needs to show the other person that we’re genuinely (真诚地) sorry, we accept responsibility for our actions and we want their forgiveness.
Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it’s not your fault. If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel. If you still can’t agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.
Sorry on its own might not always be enough, so try to ask the other person how they felt while you were arguing. Explain your side too, and make it clear you’ll try not to repeat the same mistake again. A genuine apology isn’t a magic wand (魔杖); it may take some time for someone to understand and forgive. Even after you’ve said sorry, you could still feel bad but you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.
8. Why is it important to resolve differences after an argument
A. To ensure that bad feelings worsen over time. B. To maintain relationship and prevent damage.
C. To avoid taking responsibility for one’s action. D. To establish leading power over one’s friends.
9. What does the underlined word “spiral” mean in paragraph 2

McDonald’s customers are sharing their excitement over an eco-friendly change making its way to select US restaurants. McDonald’s eaters across the globe are used to collecting their burgers in paper wrapping, their fries in cardboard, and their drink in a plastic cup — even if they’re dining inside a McDonald’s restaurant. However, this may become a thing of the past. One American diner said there were reusable containers available at their local McDonald’s for dine-in meals only.
Plastic containers and cups have an environmental cost: Plastics are made using fossil fuels like oil and natural gas. And when these materials are heated to mould (浇铸) plastic, poisons are again released into the air.
According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, about 100 million tons of plastics are produced on an annual basis — releasing an estimated 850 million tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. “Generally, when those plastics go to landfill, they take hundreds of years to break down and slowly release substances into the environment,” Dr. Thornton said.
It is reported in the industry research that about 27 percent of customers at fast food establishments eat at the restaurant. This means McDonald’s could potentially remove a quarter of its packaging waste through a reusable container system. “If you’re comparing the single-use with the reusable, the reusable take a lot more combined in terms of resources, and energy and water and so on. If you use them a sufficient number of times, that’s when they start to become better environmentally.”
Currently, most of the fast-food outlets use paper containers. But in order to truly be sustainable(可持续的), Dr. Thornton said these items should be made of recycled materials — and only distributed to customers on a need-to-use basis. “Don’t use new resources. That’s probably one of the most important things to say,” he said. “Close the loop in terms of recycling, and make sure that they only provide packaging or the amount of packaging as needed.”
12. What is the eco-friendly change in some of the US McDonald’s
A Recycled plastic cups for drinks.
B. Cardboard packagings for fries.
C. Reusable containers for dine-in meals.
D. Selected paper wrappings for burgers.
13. How much packaging waste could MeDonald’s remove with reusable containers
A. 25%. B. 50%. C. 75%. D. 100%.
14. What does Dr. Thomton suggest on fast-food chains’ sustainability
A. Use paper containers for dine-in meals.
B. Reduce the food waste in their establishments.
C. Make reusable containers out of new materials.
D. Provide necessary recycled packaging to customers.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The impact of McDonald’s on the environment.
B. The cost of plastic containers and cups in McDonald’s.
C. The disadvantage of plastic packaging in fast-food establishments.
D. The significance of sustainable practices in the fast-food industry.
