World’s Best Spicy Foods
When it comes to the world’s best spicy dishes, we have some of the world’s hottest peppers to thank. The following spicy dishes from around the world bring the heat in the most delicious way.
Piri piri chicken, Mozambique
The Portuguese introduced this spicy dish into Mozambique as far back as the 15th century, when they mixed African peppers with European ingredients. And it’s the red pepper that brings the spiciness to this complex, layered and delicious dish. The dish is also popular in Namibia and South Africa.
Sichuan hot pot, China
The joy of this dish is not only the delightful warming ingredients of the Sichuan peppercorns, but the fact that you can cook exactly what you like in the spicy soup. Duck, seafood, chicken, pork, lamb and seasonal vegetables are all fair game for throwing into the pot to boil in a soup made with Sichuan peppercorns and dried Sichuan peppers.
Som tam, Thailand
From northeastern Thailand, this fresh and spicy salad is a main dish at Thai restaurants around the world. Som tam turns to green papaya(木瓜) for its main ingredient. The papaya is then put with long beans or green beans and a mix of flavorful Asian essentials that include dried shrimp(虾) and fish sauce among other ingredients. Thai peppers give the salad its necessary kick.
Aguachile, Mexico
This raw marinated(腌制) shrimp dish from the western Mexico tastes as good as it looks. Tiny but powerful peppers, grown throughout Mexico, make the spicy magic happen in the aguachile, which means “pepper water” . Marinate the raw shrimp with ingredients including lime(酸橙) juice, red onion and cucumber and enjoy with fried corn pancakes.
1. How does piri piri chicken differ from the other three foods
A. It goes with vegetables. B. It uses a variety of ingredients.
C. It is flavored with red peppers. D. It originated in another country.
2. Which dish gives you the freedom to choose the main ingredients
A. Piri piri chicken, Mozambique. B. Sichuan hot pot, China.
C. Som tam, Thailand. D. Aguachile, Mexico.
3. What do som tam and aguachile have in common
A. They are raw foods. B. They have a long history.
C. They are served with pancakes. D. Shrimp is their main ingredient.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A

Thomas was a well-known wise man. One day, he wandered in a beautiful small town. Because of his fame, people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice.
Many who came sought help with difficulties in daily life, and Thomas, unable to bear turning them away, patiently offered suggestions. Word spread quickly, and more and more people came to see Thomas for guidance.
One day, dozens of people crowded outside Thomas’s door, all clamoring (大声地要求) that their problems were the most serious and urgent, each insisting that Thomas address their concerns first, with no one willing to yield (让步).
After a moment of thought, Thomas took out some paper and a pen and said, “I can’t hear clearly with everyone talking at once. How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this basket beside me ”
Once everyone had placed their notes in the basket, Thomas shook the basket and said, “Please each take a piece of paper from the basket and read what it says.”
As everyone read a note from someone else, they all realized that indeed, each person has their own troubles, and every household has its own challenges. Then Thomas spoke up, “Now, whose problem is the most urgent to solve ” Hearing that question, no one spoke again, because now no one dared to claim that their problem was the most severe.
Often, we are bound by our immediate feelings. When difficulties and problems strike, it feels as though we are caught in a vortex of pain. But if we shift our focus from ourselves and look towards others, we might discover that the problems we face are not so significant. Perhaps others are the ones who need help more urgently, or maybe there is something within our power that we can do for them.
4. Why did people visit Thomas
A. For advice. B. For a meeting.
C. For a competition. D. For introductions.
5. How did Thomas handle the crowd
A. He ignored them. B. He listened to each one individually.
C. He prioritized the problems himself. D. He asked them to write down their problems.
6. What did reading others’ problems show to the people
A. The complexity of their difficulties. B. The similarity of their situations.
C. Their need for more advice. D. Their living conditions.
7. What lesson did Thomas teach
A. Competition. B. Sympathy. C. Prioritization. D. Self-confidence.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Because of his fame, people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice.(由于他的名声，附近城镇的人听说他来了，都来拜访他，征求他的意见。)”可知，人们拜访托马斯是为了寻求建议。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this basket beside me (大家把你们的问题写在一张纸上，放在我身边的篮子里，怎么样？)”可知，托马斯通过让他们写下他们的问题来应付他们。故选D。

A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Six healthy lifestyle aspects were assessed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive (认知的) activity, never smoking, and never drinking alcohol,” the researchers explained in the new study. Participants were classified (分类) into the favorable group if they had four to six healthy lifestyle factors, into the average group for two to three factors, and into the unfavorable group for zero to one factor.
The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.
The study didn’t figure out which of the six healthy habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.
About 20% of the people in the study had a gene that makes Alzheimer’s disease more likely. Even so, having several good health habits helped slow down memory loss. This shows that changing how we live can really help.
Even though each health habit helped in a different way, overall, the study found that people with more good health habits had much less memory loss than those with fewer good habits. This suggests that the choices we make in how we live can help protect our memory. The study adds to the evidence that we might be able to change our risk of memory loss.
8. What were the groups categorized based on
A. The participants’ age. B. What hobbies the participants got rid of.
C. The healthy lifestyles the participants had. D. What the participants’ attitudes to factors were.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The favorable group was happier than the other two.
B. More healthy lifestyles were of more benefit to health.
C. Healthy habits had little impact on memory or dementia.
D. People with a healthy diet wouldn’t suffer a loss of memory.
10. Which plays the second greatest role in reducing memory loss
A. A healthy diet. B. Active social contact.
C. Active cognitive activities. D. Never drinking alcohol.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Healthy Lifestyles Slowing Memory Loss B. A Study Making A Great Breakthrough
C. A Healthy Diet Being The Best Lifestyle D. Old Adults Suffering From Health Problems
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章介绍了一项长期的研究结果发现健康生活方式对老年人记忆力减退和痴呆风险的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.(一项对近3万名老年人进行了10多年跟踪调查的研究发现，六种关键的健康生活方式因素可以显著减少记忆丧失，那些拥有四到六种健康生活方式行为的成年人可以显著降低患痴呆症的风险，即使他们携带有增加患阿尔茨海默病风险的基因)”可知，分类的依据是参与者的健康生活方式。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.(研究发现，拥有四到六个健康习惯的人比那些没有健康习惯的人记忆力衰退的速度要慢得多。拥有这些好习惯的人也比那些只有一个或没有健康习惯的人更不容易患痴呆症。那些有两到三个好习惯的人患痴呆症的可能性要低30%)”可知，更健康的生活方式对健康更有益。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The study didn’t figure out which of the six health y habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.(这项研究并没有弄清楚这六种健康习惯中哪一种对预防痴呆症最好，或者哪种组合最好。然而，这些信息确实表明，健康饮食似乎最有助于防止记忆丧失，大脑锻炼和定期体育锻炼也很有帮助)”可知，在减少记忆丧失方面起着第二重要的作用是大脑锻炼和定期体育锻炼，也就是积极的认知活动。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.(一项对近3万名老年人进行了10多年跟踪调查的研究发现，六种关键的健康生活方式因素可以显著减少记忆丧失，那些拥有四到六种健康生活方式行为的成年人可以显著降低患痴呆症的风险，即使他们携带有增加患阿尔茨海默病风险的基因)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了健康的生活方式对老年人记忆力减退和痴呆风险的影响，所以A项“Healthy Lifestyles Slowing Memory Loss(健康的生活方式减缓记忆丧失)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。
D
To produce the classic clothing, blue jeans, producers rely on indigo dye (靛蓝染料), the only molecule known to provide jeans’ unique, beloved color. While indigo itself naturally comes from a plant, growing demand for blue jeans throughout the 20th century gave rise to synthetic (合成的) indigo, which is now more commonly used.
Indigo is the dye that makes jeans blue, but it doesn’t mix with water. To dye clothes, usually, chemicals are needed to make the color stick to the cloth. But in Denmark, scientists have created a new way to dye clothes using an enzyme (酶), which is a kind of protein that can cause chemical reactions, instead of harmful chemicals. This new method is better for the environment and doesn’t use poisonous stuff.
The chemical process for dyeing blue jeans has persisted for the last century. Workers are exposed to the poisonous chemicals, which also pollute the environment near factories. Waste water from those factories often ends up in waterways, decimating local ecosystems and even dyeing rivers blue.
Ditte Hededam Welner, the study’s lead researcher, says their new enzyme works really well and is strong enough for making lots of jeans without breaking down. This enzyme makes dyeing with indican, which is like indigo, much less harmful to the planet — about 92% better than the old way.
However, the new method doesn’t fix all the environmental problems of making jeans. Making a single pair of jeans uses a lot of water — enough to fill many bathtubs — from growing the cotton to putting the final touches on the jeans.
Even though the new dyeing process is better for the environment, it’s not always easy or cheap to change to it. Welner’s team isn’t sure if jeans companies will find it easy or affordable to switch to this method. It costs a little bit more — just seven cents extra per pair of jeans — to use the enzyme for dyeing. But Welner believes it’s worth it because it’s much better for the environment.
12. Why was synthetic indigo created in the 20th century
A. It made jeans’ color unique. B. It was easy to dye cloth with it.
C. People liked jeans made from it. D. People were in greater need of jeans.
13. What does the underlined word “decimating” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Troubling. B. Entering. C. Destroying. D. Defeating.
14. Which is an advantage of the new method
A. The colour is more beautiful than the synthetic indigo.
B. The market can keep stable goods supplies.
C. Enzyme facilitates the advance of science.
D. The dye is more environmentally friendly.
15. What makes Welner worried about the new method
A. Production costs. B. Environmental benefits.
C. Water consumption. D. Laborer shortage.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了丹麦科学家发明的一种新的染色方法，该方法使用酶代替有害化学物质来染色，对环境更友好。尽管这种方法对环境更友好，但制作牛仔裤仍然存在大量耗水等问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While indigo itself naturally comes from a plant, growing demand for blue jeans throughout the 20th century gave rise to synthetic(合成的) indigo, which is now more commonly used.”（虽然靛蓝本身来自天然植物，但在整个20世纪，人们对蓝色牛仔裤的需求不断增长，于是现在更常使用的合成靛蓝应运而生）可知，20世纪，由于人们对牛仔裤的需求增加，才有了合成靛蓝。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段画线词前的“pollute the environment near factories”（污染工厂附近的环境）和“Waste water from those factories often ends up in waterways”（那些工厂排出的废水经常流入水道）以及画线词后的“even dyeing rivers blue”（甚至将河流染成蓝色）可知，工厂的废水经常流入水道的后果是破坏当地的生态系统，即“decimating local ecosystems”。所以，decimating在这里的意思是“破坏”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“This enzyme makes dyeing with indican, which is like indigo, much less harmful to the planet—about 92% better than the old way.”（这种酶可以用类似靛蓝的籼稻染色，对地球的危害要小得多——比旧方法好92%左右）可知，新方法使用酶替代有害化学品染色，对环境更友好，减少了对地球的伤害。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Even though the new dyeing process is better for the environment, it’s not always easy or cheap to change to it. Welner’s team isn’t sure if jeans companies will find it easy or affordable to switch to this method. It costs a little bit more—just seven cents extra per pair of jeans—to use the enzyme for dyeing.”（尽管新的染色工艺对环境更好，但改变它并不总是容易或便宜的。Welner的团队不确定牛仔裤公司是否会觉得改用这种方法容易或负担得起。使用这种酶染色，每条牛仔裤要多花7美分）可知，新方法的成本略高，每条牛仔裤增加了7美分的成本，这使得Welner担心牛仔裤公司是否愿意或能够承担这种方法的成本。所以，Welner担心的是新方法的生产成本。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up in a coastal town in San Francisco, Christian had a special love for the ocean and its creatures. He had always found joy in the rhythmic tides and the ocean waves against the shore. The salty wind and the cries of the seagulls (海鸥) had been like a comforting song to him during his childhood.
However, all these changed over the years. Every time he wandered along the familiar stretch of sand, his heart sank. The once charming beach was now littered with plastic bags, bottles and other wastes, a distinctive contrast to the natural beauty that had always absorbed him.
The sight was a painful reminder of the harm the locals were bringing to the very land where he was growing up. Christian felt a deep sense of loss and responsibility. Previously, he had seen the news reports about the severe effects of plastic pollution on the oceans, and the images of sea creatures stuck in plastic wastes haunted (萦绕于脑际) him.
Determined to make a change, Christian decided to take action. He knew he couldn’t solve this problem alone, but he could start something that might grow into a powerful movement. With the passion and belief of a young man who loved his ocean and his land deeply, he founded an organization called Waves of Change. The early days presented challenges in calling on volunteers.
He began by reaching out to the students in his school. He shared the shocking reality of the polluted beaches and the urgent need to reduce plastic litter. To his delight, gradually more and more schoolmates started showing interest in the organization and many were eager to join in the cause. They were all too familiar with the beauty of the ocean and were equally saddened by the damage they had witnessed. As high school students, Christian and other members properly allocates (分配) time to balance the cause and their academic work.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Together, Christian and other members did a lot of things in their free time.

Their efforts finally paid off.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Together, Christian and other members did a lot of things in their free time. They passionately designed posters, spreading awareness about the harmful effects of plastic pollution. They organized regular clean-up events on the spot, not only to remove the existing waste but also to offer the participants an opportunity to witness the seriousness of the problem in person. Christian and his team also started a social media campaign, sharing educational content and updates about their initiatives. Besides, they patiently educated the local community about the importance of using reusable bags and other eco-friendly alternatives.
Their efforts finally paid off. As the weeks turned into months, the tireless work of Waves of Change didn’t go unnoticed. Local businesses began to take an interest in their cause, offering support by reducing their own plastic usage and promoting Waves of Change to their customers. The community members were more conscious of their plastic consumption. The organization grew rapidly, with more and more volunteers joining the ranks, all dedicated to the cause of protecting oceans. The ocean, which had been a constant source of joy for Christian, is now thriving once more.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Christian在童年时代便深爱大海，然而多年后，当他返回熟悉的海滩时，却发现海滩已经被塑料垃圾污染。这让他感到沮丧和责任重大。于是他创立了名为Waves of Change的组织，希望借此发起运动来减少塑料垃圾的使用。尽管一开始在召集志愿者方面遇到了挑战，但Christian通过与学校同学分享现实情况，得到了越来越多人的支持和加入。尽管作为高中生，他们需要合理分配时间来平衡学业和环保事业，但他们都渴望为保护海洋做出自己的努力。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Christian和其他成员一起在空闲时间做了很多事情。”可知，第一段可描写Christian和其他成员共同进行的各种环保工作。
②由第二段首句内容“他们的努力终于得到了回报。”可知，第二段可描写社会各界给予他们的事业支持，以及海洋因此得到一定的保护。
2. 续写线索：做了很多事——开展各种环保工作——得到回报——社会的支持——海洋得到保护

World’s Best Spicy Foods
When it comes to the world’s best spicy dishes, we have some of the world’s hottest peppers to thank. The following spicy dishes from around the world bring the heat in the most delicious way.
Piri piri chicken, Mozambique
The Portuguese introduced this spicy dish into Mozambique as far back as the 15th century, when they mixed African peppers with European ingredients. And it’s the red pepper that brings the spiciness to this complex, layered and delicious dish. The dish is also popular in Namibia and South Africa.
Sichuan hot pot, China
The joy of this dish is not only the delightful warming ingredients of the Sichuan peppercorns, but the fact that you can cook exactly what you like in the spicy soup. Duck, seafood, chicken, pork, lamb and seasonal vegetables are all fair game for throwing into the pot to boil in a soup made with Sichuan peppercorns and dried Sichuan peppers.
Som tam, Thailand
From northeastern Thailand, this fresh and spicy salad is a main dish at Thai restaurants around the world. Som tam turns to green papaya(木瓜) for its main ingredient. The papaya is then put with long beans or green beans and a mix of flavorful Asian essentials that include dried shrimp(虾) and fish sauce among other ingredients. Thai peppers give the salad its necessary kick.
Aguachile, Mexico
This raw marinated(腌制) shrimp dish from the western Mexico tastes as good as it looks. Tiny but powerful peppers, grown throughout Mexico, make the spicy magic happen in the aguachile, which means “pepper water” . Marinate the raw shrimp with ingredients including lime(酸橙) juice, red onion and cucumber and enjoy with fried corn pancakes.
1. How does piri piri chicken differ from the other three foods

Thomas was a well-known wise man. One day, he wandered in a beautiful small town. Because of his fame, people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice.
Many who came sought help with difficulties in daily life, and Thomas, unable to bear turning them away, patiently offered suggestions. Word spread quickly, and more and more people came to see Thomas for guidance.
One day, dozens of people crowded outside Thomas’s door, all clamoring (大声地要求) that their problems were the most serious and urgent, each insisting that Thomas address their concerns first, with no one willing to yield (让步).
After a moment of thought, Thomas took out some paper and a pen and said, “I can’t hear clearly with everyone talking at once. How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this basket beside me ”
Once everyone had placed their notes in the basket, Thomas shook the basket and said, “Please each take a piece of paper from the basket and read what it says.”
As everyone read a note from someone else, they all realized that indeed, each person has their own troubles, and every household has its own challenges. Then Thomas spoke up, “Now, whose problem is the most urgent to solve ” Hearing that question, no one spoke again, because now no one dared to claim that their problem was the most severe.
Often, we are bound by our immediate feelings. When difficulties and problems strike, it feels as though we are caught in a vortex of pain. But if we shift our focus from ourselves and look towards others, we might discover that the problems we face are not so significant. Perhaps others are the ones who need help more urgently, or maybe there is something within our power that we can do for them.
4. Why did people visit Thomas
A. For advice. B. For a meeting.
C. For a competition. D. For introductions.
5. How did Thomas handle the crowd
A. He ignored them. B. He listened to each one individually.
C. He prioritized the problems himself. D. He asked them to write down their problems.
6. What did reading others’ problems show to the people
A. The complexity of their difficulties. B. The similarity of their situations.
C. Their need for more advice. D. Their living conditions.
7. What lesson did Thomas teach
A. Competition. B. Sympathy. C. Prioritization. D. Self-confidence.
C
A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Six healthy lifestyle aspects were assessed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive (认知的) activity, never smoking, and never drinking alcohol,” the researchers explained in the new study. Participants were classified (分类) into the favorable group if they had four to six healthy lifestyle factors, into the average group for two to three factors, and into the unfavorable group for zero to one factor.
The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.
The study didn’t figure out which of the six healthy habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.
About 20% of the people in the study had a gene that makes Alzheimer’s disease more likely. Even so, having several good health habits helped slow down memory loss. This shows that changing how we live can really help.
Even though each health habit helped in a different way, overall, the study found that people with more good health habits had much less memory loss than those with fewer good habits. This suggests that the choices we make in how we live can help protect our memory. The study adds to the evidence that we might be able to change our risk of memory loss.

To produce the classic clothing, blue jeans, producers rely on indigo dye (靛蓝染料), the only molecule known to provide jeans’ unique, beloved color. While indigo itself naturally comes from a plant, growing demand for blue jeans throughout the 20th century gave rise to synthetic (合成的) indigo, which is now more commonly used.
Indigo is the dye that makes jeans blue, but it doesn’t mix with water. To dye clothes, usually, chemicals are needed to make the color stick to the cloth. But in Denmark, scientists have created a new way to dye clothes using an enzyme (酶), which is a kind of protein that can cause chemical reactions, instead of harmful chemicals. This new method is better for the environment and doesn’t use poisonous stuff.
The chemical process for dyeing blue jeans has persisted for the last century. Workers are exposed to the poisonous chemicals, which also pollute the environment near factories. Waste water from those factories often ends up in waterways, decimating local ecosystems and even dyeing rivers blue.
Ditte Hededam Welner, the study’s lead researcher, says their new enzyme works really well and is strong enough for making lots of jeans without breaking down. This enzyme makes dyeing with indican, which is like indigo, much less harmful to the planet — about 92% better than the old way.
However, the new method doesn’t fix all the environmental problems of making jeans. Making a single pair of jeans uses a lot of water — enough to fill many bathtubs — from growing the cotton to putting the final touches on the jeans.
Even though the new dyeing process is better for the environment, it’s not always easy or cheap to change to it. Welner’s team isn’t sure if jeans companies will find it easy or affordable to switch to this method. It costs a little bit more — just seven cents extra per pair of jeans — to use the enzyme for dyeing. But Welner believes it’s worth it because it’s much better for the environment.
12. Why was synthetic indigo created in the 20th century
A. It made jeans’ color unique. B. It was easy to dye cloth with it.
C. People liked jeans made from it. D. People were in greater need of jeans.
13. What does the underlined word “decimating” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Troubling. B. Entering. C. Destroying. D. Defeating.
14. Which is an advantage of the new method
A. The colour is more beautiful than the synthetic indigo.
B. The market can keep stable goods supplies.
C. Enzyme facilitates the advance of science.
D. The dye is more environmentally friendly.
15. What makes Welner worried about the new method
A. Production costs. B. Environmental benefits.
C. Water consumption. D. Laborer shortage.

Growing up in a coastal town in San Francisco, Christian had a special love for the ocean and its creatures. He had always found joy in the rhythmic tides and the ocean waves against the shore. The salty wind and the cries of the seagulls (海鸥) had been like a comforting song to him during his childhood.
However, all these changed over the years. Every time he wandered along the familiar stretch of sand, his heart sank. The once charming beach was now littered with plastic bags, bottles and other wastes, a distinctive contrast to the natural beauty that had always absorbed him.
The sight was a painful reminder of the harm the locals were bringing to the very land where he was growing up. Christian felt a deep sense of loss and responsibility. Previously, he had seen the news reports about the severe effects of plastic pollution on the oceans, and the images of sea creatures stuck in plastic wastes haunted (萦绕于脑际) him.
Determined to make a change, Christian decided to take action. He knew he couldn’t solve this problem alone, but he could start something that might grow into a powerful movement. With the passion and belief of a young man who loved his ocean and his land deeply, he founded an organization called Waves of Change. The early days presented challenges in calling on volunteers.
He began by reaching out to the students in his school. He shared the shocking reality of the polluted beaches and the urgent need to reduce plastic litter. To his delight, gradually more and more schoolmates started showing interest in the organization and many were eager to join in the cause. They were all too familiar with the beauty of the ocean and were equally saddened by the damage they had witnessed. As high school students, Christian and other members properly allocates (分配) time to balance the cause and their academic work.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
