答案：were used
解析：考查动词时态和语态。句意：钢笔很久以前就在学校里使用了，最近又重新流行起来，因为它们可以重新填充。空格处作谓语，根据时间状语long ago可知，应用一般过去时，主语Fountain pens和动词use之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were used。

6.（2022新高考II卷）Henry _________ (fix) his car when he heard the screams. He looked up and saw Eric hanging from the balcony.
6. was fixing。句意：听到尖叫声时，亨利正在修车。根据句子结构，设空处应该填写谓语动词。根据空后的when he heard the screams，可知，设空处的动作是正在发生的，同时该句描述的是过去的事实。故使用过去进行时。fix为动词，意为“修理”，其过去进行时为was fixing。故填was fixing。

In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hometown and I began devoting my pocket money to acquiring records. I swiftly developed an affection for Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, harboring dreams of performing that music myself. Despite the absence of a piano at home, there was one at my grandmother’s care home, where I learned to play Beethoven by ear, with pigeons cooing and farmers working in the fields. It was truly magical.
Entering the Royal Academy of Arts at 16 marked the beginning of my artistic journey. In my 30s, I took another significant step in life — marriage. My wife worked at Elephants World, a reserve dedicated to the care of rescued domestic elephants. These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself. For my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager to allow us to bring a piano into the reserve, bringing music to the elephants’ lives.
Initially, when I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants chewing grass. However, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned into my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, had a profound love for music. From that moment on, there was no longer any concern about disturbing their peace. We occasionally film these performances, and now, we proudly have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers.
I continue to play for these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the constant potential danger. Surprisingly, it’s the moody male elephants who show the most fascination with the music. I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven’s tunes. With their exceptional hearing and the ability to sense vibrations (震动) through their feet, I am convinced that elephants grasp the language of human expression. This serves as a powerful illustration that music serves as a universal language, connecting us all.

While we aim to avoid any appearance of baseless theories, it is noteworthy to observe the long-standing practice of putting magnets (磁铁) in cows, a phenomenon that has been carefully unfolding for years. Why are farmers putting magnets in cows
Known as cow magnets, the devices are placed inside cattle to deal with “hardware disease”. Hardware Disease occurs after an animal eats a metallic object that then makes a hole in the wall of the reticulum, the second stomach room in ruminant animals (反刍动物). This issue arises from the natural eating behaviors of these ruminants, similar to a person at an unlimited food event — quickly and eagerly large bites without sufficient chewing. This fast-paced feeding approach makes them tend to unintentionally consume metal pieces in their food, including broken farm machinery parts, nails and wires used in fencing, for instance.
Metal objects entering the reticulum may result in infections, increased body temperatures, digestive problems, and unease for the animals. To address hardware disease, the main strategy is to prevent metal from entering the cattle’s diet. Farmers have also adopted the method of placing cow magnets into the stomach using either a stomach tube or a balling gun. The cow magnet attracts such objects and prevents them from becoming fixed in the animal’s tissue. These magnets, once positioned, remain within the animals throughout their lifespan, only being removed after death when the cows pass away or are processed for meat.
Moseley, a Veterinary Medicine professor, states in a hardware disease resource, “The magnet gathers foreign metallic objects, reducing the risk of making a hole in the reticulum.” Research shows a mild magnetic field affects a cow’s small blood pathways, improving circulation and aiding recovery without significant impact on the cow or milk quality.
8. Why are magnets fed to cows
A. To change feeding habits.
B. To prevent hardware disease.
C. To improve the milk quality.
D. To enhance digestive system.
9. What is the main cause of hardware disease in ruminant animals
A. Eating without chewing.
B. Taking magnets by mistake.
C. Sufficient chewing hard food.
D. Swallowing metals accidentally.
10. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To describe the historical practice of putting magnets in cows.
B. To deny the adoption of cow magnets to enhance cattle health.
C. To discuss the influence of a mild magnetic field on milk quality.
D. To explain the reason for using magnets to prevent hardware disease.
11. What might be a logical continuation of the passage
A. Exploring more potential benefits of cow magnets.
B. Investigating the broader applications of magnets.
C. Discussing the alternative methods of caring for cows.
D. Evaluating the long-term effects of magnets on animals.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要解释了在牛体内放磁铁这种做法的原因。
8. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Known as cow magnets, the devices are placed inside cattle to deal with ‘hardware disease’.(这种被称为牛磁铁的设备被放置在牛体内，以应对‘创伤性胃炎’。)”和第三段中的“Metal objects entering the reticulum may result in infections, increased body temperatures, digestive problems, and unease for the animals. To address hardware disease, the main strategy is to prevent metal from entering the cattle’s diet. Farmers have also adopted the method of placing cow magnets into the stomach using either a stomach tube or a balling gun. The cow magnet attracts such objects and prevents them from becoming fixed in the animal’s tissue.(金属物体进入蜂窝胃可能会导致感染、体温升高、消化问题和动物的不安。为了解决创伤性胃炎，主要策略是防止金属进入牛的饮食。农民们还采用了将牛磁铁放入胃里的方法，要么使用胃管，要么使用滚球枪。牛磁铁吸引这些物体，防止它们固定在动物的组织中。)”可知，将牛磁铁放置在牛体内，可以吸引金属物体，防止金属固定在动物的组织里，从而预防创伤性胃炎。故选B。
9. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This issue arises from the natural eating behaviors of these ruminants, similar to a person at an unlimited food event — quickly and eagerly large bites without sufficient chewing. This fast-paced feeding approach makes them tend to unintentionally consume metal pieces in their food, including broken farm machinery parts, nails and wires used in fencing, for instance.(这个问题源于这些反刍动物的自然进食行为，类似于一个人在无限制的食物活动中——在没有充分咀嚼的情况下快速而急切地大口进食。这种快节奏的进食方式使它们倾向于无意中吃掉食物中的金属碎片，例如，包括破碎的农业机械零件、围栏中使用的钉子和电线。)”可知，反刍动物得创伤性胃炎是因为它们在没有充分咀嚼的情况下快速而急切地大口进食，这会使它们无意中吃掉食物中的金属碎片。故选D。
10. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段最后一句“Why are farmers putting magnets in cows (为什么农民要在牛体内放磁铁？)”和第二段中的“Known as cow magnets, the devices are placed inside cattle to deal with ‘hardware disease’.(这种被称为牛磁铁的设备被放置在牛体内，以应对‘创伤性胃炎’。)”可知，本文主要解释了在牛体内放磁铁预防创伤性胃炎这种做法的原因。故选D。
11. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Research shows a mild magnetic field affects a cow’s small blood pathways, improving circulation and aiding recovery without significant impact on the cow or milk quality.(研究表明，温和的磁场会影响牛的小血液通路，改善血液循环，帮助恢复，而不会对牛或牛奶质量产生重大影响。)”可知，在牛体内放磁铁除了能够防止创伤性胃炎外，还能够影响牛的小血液通路，改善血液循环，帮助恢复，而不会对牛或牛奶质量产生重大影响，由此可推测出，接下来文章可能会谈牛磁铁的更多潜在好处。故选A。
D
There are a lot of potential sources of clean energy out there: solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen-based energy, and more. One of the less-known sources of clean energy is wave energy. Now Oneka, a Canadian startup that uses the power of waves to desalinate (脱盐) water, is turning seawater into drinking water.
More than half the world’s inhabitants struggle to find drinking water at least one month a year. And with climate change bringing with it extreme weather and heat, that figure will likely rise. That is why it is estimated that the desalination sector will rise by nine percent by 2030.
In general, there are two kinds of desalination technology. The first is thermal (热能) . The second technology is membrane (薄膜) based. Whichever technology is used, however, most desalination plants run on non-renewable energy. And there is also the issue of the salt itself. The high salinity(盐分) of the water and salt that flows back into the ocean often create dead zones. The water in these zones is so salty that marine life dies off in those areas.
“Desalination facilities are conventionally powered by fossil fuels,” Hunt said. “But the world has certainly reached a pivot point. We want to move away from fossil fuel powered desalination.” This is where Oneka’s unique desalination technology comes in. In fact, the city of Fort Bragg, California, has decided to use state funds to begin a new kind of desalination technology in partnership with the Canadian startup.
Oneka uses floating desalination machines, attached to buoys (浮标) . The buoys then absorb energy from the ocean waves, and convert it into mechanical forces, pumping the water through the membrane system. The fresh water is then pumped to land, also using the power of the waves.
The water that streams back into the ocean only contains a 30 percent increase in salinity, and is quickly dispersed (分散) by the waves, leaving no dead zones. This innovative technology shows is that sometimes the solutions to complicated problems don’t have to be complicated at all. Sometimes all you need are the ocean waves.
12. Why will the desalination sector be expected to increase by 2030
A. Because desalination sector will increase by nine percent.
B. Because half people in the world can’t find drinking water.
C. Because the situation of lacking water worsens with climate change.
D. Because people are short of drinking water as a result of climate change.
13. What does the underlined word “pivot” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Cautious. B. Crucial.
C. Troublesome. D. Painful.
14. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about desalination technology
A. Its production process. B. Its possible benefit.
C. Its potential drawbacks. D. Its present situation.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. New Desalination Technology Changed the World
B. Extreme Weather Makes People Lack Drinking Water
C. Fossil Fuels will be Replaced by the Power of Waves
D. New Technology Uses the Power of Waves to Desalinate Water
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家加拿大初创公司Oneka采用新技术利用海浪的力量来淡化海水。
12. 推理判断题。由文章第二段“More than half the world’s inhabitants struggle to find drinking water at least one month a year. And with climate change bringing with it extreme weather and heat, that figure will likely rise. That is why it is estimated that the desalination sector will rise by nine percent by 2030. (世界上一半以上的居民每年至少有一个月难以找到饮用水。随着气候变化带来极端天气和高温，这一数字可能会上升。这就是为什么据估计，到2030年，海水淡化行业将增长9%。)”可知，因为缺水的情况随着气候变化而恶化，海水淡化行业预计到2030年将会增长。故选C。
13. 词句猜测题。由文章第四段中“We want to move away from fossil fuel powered desalination (我们希望摆脱化石燃料驱动的海水淡化。)”和“This is where Oneka’s unique desalination technology comes in. (这就是Oneka独特的海水淡化技术的用武之地。)”可知，Oneka海水淡化技术是摆脱化石燃料驱动的海水淡化的关键点，即至关重要之处。A. Cautious谨慎的；B. Crucial至关重要的；C. Troublesome麻烦的；D. Painful痛苦的。故选B。
14. 主旨大意题。由文章第五段中“Oneka uses floating desalination machines, attached to buoys (浮标) . The buoys then absorb energy from the ocean waves, and convert it into mechanical forces, pumping the water through the membrane system. (Oneka使用浮动的附着在浮标上的海水淡化机。然后，浮标从海浪中吸收能量，并将其转化为机械力，通过膜系统抽水。)”可知，第5段主要说明海水淡化技术的生产过程。故选A。
15. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Now Oneka, a Canadian startup that uses the power of waves to desalinate (脱盐) water, is turning seawater into drinking water. (现在，一家加拿大初创公司Oneka利用海浪的力量来淡化海水，正在把海水变成饮用水。)”可知，文章主要介绍了Oneka采用新技术利用海浪的力量来淡化海水。选项D“New Technology Uses the Power of Waves to Desalinate Water (新技术利用海浪的力量来淡化海水)”符合题意。故选D。
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。
Coral reefs are the rainforests of the ocean. They exist on vast scales and are equally important havens(避风港)of biodiversity. Reefs occupy 0.1% of the oceans. 16
17 Without the protection which reefs afford from crashing waves, low-lying islands such as the Maldives would have flooded long ago, and a billion people would lose food or income. However, reefs are under threat from rising sea temperatures. Heat causes the algae(海藻)with which corals are living together to generate toxins(毒素)that force those coral to leave. This can cause a coral’s death.
Research groups around the world are coming up with plans of action to see if that will help, such as identifying naturally heat-resistant corals and cross-breeding such corals to create a new type. 18 Without carbon reduction and decline in local, coral-killing pollution, even resistant corals will not survive the century.
Doubters doubt humanity will get its act together in time to make much difference.
19 Carbon targets are being set and ocean pollution is being dealt with. Countries that share responsibilities for reefs are starting to act together. Scientific workarounds can also be found. Natural currents can be applied to facilitate mass breeding. Sites of the greatest ecological and economical importance can be identified to maximize bang for buck.
This mix of natural activity and human intervention is important. 20 Hard-coregreens-those who think that all habitats should be kept unspoiled-may not approve. But when entire ecosystems are facing destruction, the cost of doing nothing is too great to bear.
A. Corals are useful to people.
B. But there are grounds for optimism.
C. And they host a quarter of marine species.
D. It could serve as a blueprint for other ecosystems.
E. Coral’s global ecosystem services are worth up to $10trn a year.
F. This research can also be brought to bear on trying to save entire ecosystems.
G. However, the assisted evolution of corals does not meet with universal enthusiasm.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. G 19. B 20. D

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For thousands of years, Chinese people 36 (value) the large family with three, four, or even five generations living under the same roof. In this way of life, the older generation can enjoy a happy and easy late life with their children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren growing up beside them and keeping them 37 being lonely. However, as society ad.ances and people enjoy a 38 (comfortable) life, the big families begin to break up. Along with the growth of so-called “empty nestles”, which means the young birds have flown away and only 39 old are left alone, young parents are living with their own nuclear families. It goes without saying 40 the collapse of big families and the popularity of smaller ones are the result of our times.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大家庭的瓦解和小家庭的流行的现象和原因。
36. 考查时态。句意：几千年来，中国人一直重视三代、四世甚至五代同堂的大家庭。value“重视”这一动作开始于过去，持续到现在，句子应用现在完成时，又因主语Chinese people是复数概念，所以助动词用have。故填have valued。
37. 考查固定短语。句意：在这种生活方式中，老一代可以享受快乐和轻松的晚年生活，他们的孩子，孙子或曾孙在他们身边长大，使他们不会感到孤独。keep sb. from doing sth.“阻止某人干某事”为固定短语。故填from。
38. 考查形容词。句意：然而，随着社会的进步和人们享受更舒适的生活，大家庭开始解体。结合句意可知，本空填形容词的比较级more comfortable“更舒适”，作定语，修饰名词life。故填more comfortable。
39. 考查冠词。句意：随着所谓的“空巢”的增长，这意味着年轻人（幼鸟）已经飞走，只留下老人独自生活，年轻的父母与自己的核心家庭生活。本空用定冠词the，the加形容词表示一类人，the old“老人”。故填the。
40. 考查固定句型。句意：不用说，大家庭的瓦解和小家庭的流行是我们时代的结果。it goes without saying that...“不言而喻……”是固定句型，it为形式主语，that引导主语从句。故填that。
41. 考查连词。句意：这是一个人们高度重视个人自由和幸福的时代。本空用连词and，连接并列的宾语freedom和happiness。故填and。
42. 考查非谓语动词。句意：年轻人喜欢有自己的空间，这有助于避免因与父母不同的生活习惯而引起的冲突。which引导的定语从句的谓语为helps，此处为非谓语动词，且conflicts与cause“引起”为被动关系，应用过去分词，作定语。故填caused。
43. 考查含有情态动词的被动语态。句意：老年人可以住在一起，由专门的护士照顾。Senior citizens与take good care of“好好照顾”为被动关系，应用过去分词，且空前有情态动词can，本空用be taken与live并列。故填be taken。
44. 考查形容词。句意：因此，我们有充分的理由相信这种家庭规模缩小的趋势是符合我们时代的。本空用形容词agreeable“适合的”，作表语。故填agreeable。
45. 考查定语从句。句意：为了创造一个更加光明的未来，我们应该尽最大努力把我们的社会建设成一个每个成员都健康和谐生活的社会。分析句子结构可知，本空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是指代society的代词one，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作in的宾语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

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。
Eight o’clock on a May morning, and Mary, my 17-year-old daughter, was in our study upstairs. It had served as her classroom ever since schools moved to remote learning due to the COVID-19.
From the kitchen, I listened to the sound of her tapping on the laptop or her communicating in their Google Meet session s with her friends and teachers. I resisted the desire to check on her. Way too often, I would find Mary texting friends and commenting on their Snapchat and Instagram posts about the fun they were having together. I felt it safer not to care. After all, we’d barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.
“Mom, everyone is hanging out today!” Mary’s voice came from upstairs. “Why can’t I ” I went up the stairs. Mary was lying on the floor, her laptop, school iPad and cell phone in front of her. “It’s unfair,” she said. “I have no one I can be with. I can’t wait until I’m 18. and can do what I want.”
We’d had this conversation before. Still, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. I was sick of isolating (隔离) too. Even though Mary and I were at home together more than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate worlds.
“Wanna watch Netflix later ” I asked. “Bake some cookies ” “No, thanks.” Mary shook her head, as if the idea of doing something together was quite beyond her. I was used to Mary’s rejection, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is healthy, but I worried that if I didn’t find a way to bond with my girl soon, I might never be close with her again. She’d be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn’t need me anymore. Maybe she was right. No matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to reach her. That evening, I logged onto Facebook and saw a friend’s family playing with their new kitten together. My mind went back to the difficult period when I was in high school and our family moved to the new city. It was a gray tabby (虎斑猫) with which Mom surprised me that brightened my days and got me through that difficult, lonely time.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
It suddenly occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help. “You want to get a kitten ” I asked Mary. “Oh, Yes!” she relied eagerly. “I want an orange tabby. A male!” The next morning, I called shelters, but no one had any kittens, let alone a male orange tabby. I was about to give up when one shelter responded telling me that an 8-week kitten who lost his mom was seeking help and they also sent a photo. Showing the photo to Mary, I was pleased to see her eyes round, sparkling with excitement. “This is exactly my dream kitten. Do get it for me, please, mom.” Mary begged in a thrilled tone, holding my arm with wild joy. It was so long since we got that close to interact that I was almost moved to tears.
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home. Having made preparations together, we waited eagerly for the new member to arrive. Then came Ron, named by my daughter, a really active fellow who often brought laughter to us everywhere he popped up. Mary worked with me to look after him, train him and enjoy her time with Ron. To my great joy, I could hear more laughter from Mary, who shared loads of warm scenes of the whole family having fun together in her Instagram posts instead of locking herself in the study all day long. In a sense, the invisible wall between us seemed to have been broken down. Sometimes, there is no need to seek magic for a change, and a bond that clicks alive can work miracles .

（2024·山西·一模）In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hometown and I began devoting my pocket money to acquiring records. I swiftly developed an affection for Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, harboring dreams of performing that music myself. Despite the absence of a piano at home, there was one at my grandmother’s care home, where I learned to play Beethoven by ear, with pigeons cooing and farmers working in the fields. It was truly magical.
Entering the Royal Academy of Arts at 16 marked the beginning of my artistic journey. In my 30s, I took another significant step in life — marriage. My wife worked at Elephants World, a reserve dedicated to the care of rescued domestic elephants. These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself. For my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager to allow us to bring a piano into the reserve, bringing music to the elephants’ lives.
Initially, when I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants chewing grass. However, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned into my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, had a profound love for music. From that moment on, there was no longer any concern about disturbing their peace. We occasionally film these performances, and now, we proudly have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers.
I continue to play for these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the constant potential danger. Surprisingly, it’s the moody male elephants who show the most fascination with the music. I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven’s tunes. With their exceptional hearing and the ability to sense vibrations (震动) through their feet, I am convinced that elephants grasp the language of human expression. This serves as a powerful illustration that music serves as a universal language, connecting us all.

（2024·山西·一模）While we aim to avoid any appearance of baseless theories, it is noteworthy to observe the long-standing practice of putting magnets (磁铁) in cows, a phenomenon that has been carefully unfolding for years. Why are farmers putting magnets in cows
Known as cow magnets, the devices are placed inside cattle to deal with “hardware disease”. Hardware Disease occurs after an animal eats a metallic object that then makes a hole in the wall of the reticulum, the second stomach room in ruminant animals (反刍动物). This issue arises from the natural eating behaviors of these ruminants, similar to a person at an unlimited food event — quickly and eagerly large bites without sufficient chewing. This fast-paced feeding approach makes them tend to unintentionally consume metal pieces in their food, including broken farm machinery parts, nails and wires used in fencing, for instance.
Metal objects entering the reticulum may result in infections, increased body temperatures, digestive problems, and unease for the animals. To address hardware disease, the main strategy is to prevent metal from entering the cattle’s diet. Farmers have also adopted the method of placing cow magnets into the stomach using either a stomach tube or a balling gun. The cow magnet attracts such objects and prevents them from becoming fixed in the animal’s tissue. These magnets, once positioned, remain within the animals throughout their lifespan, only being removed after death when the cows pass away or are processed for meat.
Moseley, a Veterinary Medicine professor, states in a hardware disease resource, “The magnet gathers foreign metallic objects, reducing the risk of making a hole in the reticulum.” Research shows a mild magnetic field affects a cow’s small blood pathways, improving circulation and aiding recovery without significant impact on the cow or milk quality.
8．Why are magnets fed to cows
A．To change feeding habits.
B．To prevent hardware disease.
C．To improve the milk quality.
D．To enhance digestive system.
9．What is the main cause of hardware disease in ruminant animals
A．Eating without chewing.
B．Taking magnets by mistake.
C．Sufficient chewing hard food.
D．Swallowing metals accidentally.
10．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A．To describe the historical practice of putting magnets in cows.
B．To deny the adoption of cow magnets to enhance cattle health.
C．To discuss the influence of a mild magnetic field on milk quality.
D．To explain the reason for using magnets to prevent hardware disease.
11．What might be a logical continuation of the passage
A．Exploring more potential benefits of cow magnets.
B．Investigating the broader applications of magnets.
C．Discussing the alternative methods of caring for cows.
D．Evaluating the long-term effects of magnets on animals.

（2024·四川凉山·二模）There are a lot of potential sources of clean energy out there: solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen-based energy, and more. One of the less-known sources of clean energy is wave energy. Now Oneka, a Canadian startup that uses the power of waves to desalinate (脱盐) water, is turning seawater into drinking water.
More than half the world’s inhabitants struggle to find drinking water at least one month a year. And with climate change bringing with it extreme weather and heat, that figure will likely rise. That is why it is estimated that the desalination sector will rise by nine percent by 2030.
In general, there are two kinds of desalination technology. The first is thermal (热能) . The second technology is membrane (薄膜) based. Whichever technology is used, however, most desalination plants run on non-renewable energy. And there is also the issue of the salt itself. The high salinity(盐分) of the water and salt that flows back into the ocean often create dead zones. The water in these zones is so salty that marine life dies off in those areas.
“Desalination facilities are conventionally powered by fossil fuels,” Hunt said. “But the world has certainly reached a pivot point. We want to move away from fossil fuel powered desalination.” This is where Oneka’s unique desalination technology comes in. In fact, the city of Fort Bragg, California, has decided to use state funds to begin a new kind of desalination technology in partnership with the Canadian startup.
Oneka uses floating desalination machines, attached to buoys (浮标) . The buoys then absorb energy from the ocean waves, and convert it into mechanical forces, pumping the water through the membrane system. The fresh water is then pumped to land, also using the power of the waves.
The water that streams back into the ocean only contains a 30 percent increase in salinity, and is quickly dispersed (分散) by the waves, leaving no dead zones. This innovative technology shows is that sometimes the solutions to complicated problems don’t have to be complicated at all. Sometimes all you need are the ocean waves.
12．Why will the desalination sector be expected to increase by 2030
A．Because desalination sector will increase by nine percent.
B．Because half people in the world can’t find drinking water.
C．Because the situation of lacking water worsens with climate change.
D．Because people are short of drinking water as a result of climate change.
13．What does the underlined word “pivot” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Cautious. B．Crucial.
C．Troublesome. D．Painful.
14．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about desalination technology
A．Its production process. B．Its possible benefit.
C．Its potential drawbacks. D．Its present situation.
15．What is the best title of the text
A．New Desalination Technology Changed the World
B．Extreme Weather Makes People Lack Drinking Water
C．Fossil Fuels will be Replaced by the Power of Waves
D．New Technology Uses the Power of Waves to Desalinate Water

Coral reefs are the rainforests of the ocean. They exist on vast scales and are equally important havens(避风港)of biodiversity. Reefs occupy 0.1% of the oceans. 16
17 Without the protection which reefs afford from crashing waves, low-lying islands such as the Maldives would have flooded long ago, and a billion people would lose food or income. However, reefs are under threat from rising sea temperatures. Heat causes the algae(海藻)with which corals are living together to generate toxins(毒素)that force those coral to leave. This can cause a coral’s death.
Research groups around the world are coming up with plans of action to see if that will help, such as identifying naturally heat-resistant corals and cross-breeding such corals to create a new type. 18 Without carbon reduction and decline in local, coral-killing pollution, even resistant corals will not survive the century.
Doubters doubt humanity will get its act together in time to make much difference.
19 Carbon targets are being set and ocean pollution is being dealt with. Countries that share responsibilities for reefs are starting to act together. Scientific workarounds can also be found. Natural currents can be applied to facilitate mass breeding. Sites of the greatest ecological and economical importance can be identified to maximize bang for buck.
This mix of natural activity and human intervention is important. 20 Hard-coregreens-those who think that all habitats should be kept unspoiled-may not approve. But when entire ecosystems are facing destruction, the cost of doing nothing is too great to bear.
A．Corals are useful to people.
B．But there are grounds for optimism.
C．And they host a quarter of marine species.
D．It could serve as a blueprint for other ecosystems.
E．Coral’s global ecosystem services are worth up to $10trn a year.
F．This research can also be brought to bear on trying to save entire ecosystems.
G．However, the assisted evolution of corals does not meet with universal enthusiasm.

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。
Eight o’clock on a May morning, and Mary, my 17-year-old daughter, was in our study upstairs. It had served as her classroom ever since schools moved to remote learning due to the COVID-19.
From the kitchen, I listened to the sound of her tapping on the laptop or her communicating in their Google Meet session s with her friends and teachers. I resisted the desire to check on her. Way too often, I would find Mary texting friends and commenting on their Snapchat and Instagram posts about the fun they were having together. I felt it safer not to care. After all, we’d barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.
“Mom, everyone is hanging out today!” Mary’s voice came from upstairs. “Why can’t I ” I went up the stairs. Mary was lying on the floor, her laptop, school iPad and cell phone in front of her. “It’s unfair,” she said. “I have no one I can be with. I can’t wait until I’m 18. and can do what I want.”
We’d had this conversation before. Still, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. I was sick of isolating (隔离) too. Even though Mary and I were at home together more than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate worlds.
“Wanna watch Netflix later ” I asked. “Bake some cookies ” “No, thanks.” Mary shook her head, as if the idea of doing something together was quite beyond her. I was used to Mary’s rejection, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is healthy, but I worried that if I didn’t find a way to bond with my girl soon, I might never be close with her again. She’d be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn’t need me anymore. Maybe she was right. No matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to reach her. That evening, I logged onto Facebook and saw a friend’s family playing with their new kitten together. My mind went back to the difficult period when I was in high school and our family moved to the new city. It was a gray tabby (虎斑猫) with which Mom surprised me that brightened my days and got me through that difficult, lonely time.
