Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I liked to help others, so I was studying to become a firefighter. My parents always encouraged me at that time. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help them. It’s the mindset. which is the most difficult part in this job!
One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the Burrito Joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behaviour. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me, it reminded me when I was young and my mum brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.

As reported in the journal Nature, one system can directly remove carbon dioxide from sources ranging from flue gas (烟道气) to the atmosphere by using electricity to induce a water-and-oxygen-based electrochemical reaction. This technological achievement could turn direct air capture (捕获) from edge industry into a promising front for climate change relief.
Most carbon-capture systems involve a two-step process: First, high-pH liquids are used to separate the carbon dioxide, which is acidic, from mixed-gas streams such as flue gas. Next, the carbon dioxide is regenerated from the solution through heating or by injecting a low-pH liquid.
“Once the carbon dioxide is trapped in these solvents (溶剂), you have to regenerate it,” says Haotian Wang, assistant professor at Rice University. “There are literally no chemicals produced or consumed with our process. We also don’t need to heat up or pressurize our device, we just need to put it into a power outlet and it will work.”
Another drawback of current carbon-capture technologies is their reliance on large-scale, centralized infrastructure. By contrast, the system developed in the Wang lab is an extensible, modular, point-of-use concept that can adapt to a variety of scenarios. “The technology can be scaled up to industrial settings-power plants, chemical plants-but the great thing about it is that it allows for small-scale use as well: I can even use it in my office.” Wang says.
Also the reactor can continuously remove carbon dioxide from a simulated (模拟的) flue gas with efficiency above 98% using a relatively low electricity input. Wang notes that the process has “no carbon footprint or a very limited footprint” if powered by electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind. “This is great news considering that renewablel electricity is becoming more and more cost-effective,” Wang says.
8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Add up some opposite reasons. B. Offer basic evidences to the topic.
C. Summarize the following paragraphs. D. Provide some background information.
9. What do we know about Wang’s system according to the text
A. It involves a two-step process. B. It creates some chemicals.
C. It is simple and easy to operate. D. It needs to be used in big plants.
10. How does the author support the topic
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing many numbers.
C. By providing research results. D. By analyzing causes and effects.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Wang’s technology
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
D
Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.
And while it’s unlikely your wristwatch’s power source will ever be safe to eat, that doesn’t mean all batteries will remain uneatable-in fact, some are being designed with digestion specifically in mind.
A team of researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology recently revealed what isl being called as the world’s first fully rechargeable, eatable battery. As detailed in a paper published with Advanced Materials, the new device has made good use of some eatable materials.
“Eatable electronic devices will have major implications for gastrointestinal tract (胃肠道) monitoring, treatment, as well as rapid food quality monitoring,” reads the paper’s abstract, adding that although recent research proved the feasibility of eatable sensors and circuits, “fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples.”
According to the team’s findings, their proof-of-concept battery was capable of producing 0.65 volts, which is safely low enough for the human body to handle. The ingestible could provide 48 μA of current for 12 minutes, or alternatively, a few microamps (微安) for over an hour. Such a power supply could provide enough energy for small electronics alike to eatable pill-shaped modules and other gastrointestinal procedure alternatives.
In a statement, researcher coordinator Mario Caironi explained that such a product could help power monitors for both human health conditions and food storage. Additionally, given their safety, products with stronger power could be used within children’s toys, where ingestion risk is higher.
In the team’s statement co-author Ivan Ilic also explained that despite the battery’s relatively low power, its digestibility provides a promising example of a battery that doesn’t use any harmful materials.
12. What is the necessity of developing eatable batteries
A. They help with the food shortage. B. They can avoid the harm caused by eating batteries.
C. They are useful in some special fields. D. They have no impact on the environment.
13. Which is the closest in meaning to “feasibility” in Paragraph 4
A. Availability. B. Flexibility. C. Responsibility. D. Possibility.
14. What can we infer from the statements in the last paragraph
A. The application of the battery has a long way to go.
B. The eatable batteries will be widely used in our life.
C. The development of the eatable battery is promising.
D. The eatable batteries will soon be put into production.
15. In which section of a magazine can we read the text
A. News Corner. B. Story Garden. C. Language World. D. Technology Square.

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。
Last year, my brother and I entered the Pioneer Clubs, a weekly kid’s programme at our school. Daniel was nine, and I was eleven. My dad and my mother were all teachers at the same school. At one point during the year, my brother began to complain that a boy named John was picking on him.
John is an eleven-year-old boy. He and I were both in my dad’s class. He was the type of kid who always seemed to be in trouble. What’s worse, he didn’t consider that it was his behaviour that was the problem, but instead decided my dad was picking on him. He often picked on my brother by knocking off his hat, calling his name, kicking him and running away. When my mum heard about the problem, she came home from town a few days later with a bag of candies.
“These are for John,” she told Daniel and me. “For whom ”
“For John. ”Mum went on to explain how an enemy could be conquered (战胜) by kindness.
It was hard for any of us to imagine being kind to John. But the next week we went to Pioneer Clubs with candies in our pockets — one for ourselves and one for John. As I was heading to my class, I overheard Daniel saying, “Here John, this is for you.” When we got home, I asked what John’s response had been.
Daniel shrugged (耸肩) “He just looked surprised, then he said thank you and ate it.”
The next week when John came running over, Daniel held on to his hat and got himself ready for an attack. But John didn’t touch him. He only asked, “Hey, Daniel, do you have any more candies ”
After that, John found him every week and asked for a candy, and most times Daniel remembered to bring them — one for himself, and one for John.

World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5th, is a global event that encourages action for the protection of our environment. Established by the United Nations in1974, it has become a platform for the public in over 100 countries. ____16____ Here are four simple ways you can care for your environment.
●Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The principle “reduce, reuse, recycle” is important. ____17____ Reduce: Be mindful of your consumption. Use products with minimal packaging and consider if you truly need that new item. Reuse: Think of creative ways to repurpose items. Recycle: Make sure to recycle paper, plastics, metals, and electronics.
●Conserve water
Water is a precious resource, and conserving it helps ensure its availability for future generations. A dripping faucet can waste gallons of water over time so ensure all taps, pipes, and toilets are leak-free. ____18____
●Choose sustainable transportation
Transportation is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Opting for more sustainable modes of transport can make a big difference. ____19____ Also consider buses, trains, or carpooling to reduce the vehicles on the road. Consider investing in an electric vehicle, which has a lower environmental impact compared to traditional cars.
●____20____
This step helps reduce your carbon footprint and promotes sustainable agriculture. Local products travel shorter distances to reach you, reducing transportation emissions. Plus, organic farming practices reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, promoting soil health.
Small, consistent actions can lead to significant benefits. Remember, every action counts ,and together we can create a more sustainable future.
A. Support local and organic products
B. For short distances, consider walking or cycling.
C. Improve air quality and provide habitats for wildlife.
D. This year, we focus on everyday steps that anyone can take.
E. Use water-efficient appliances, for example, low-flow shower heads.

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。
Last year, my brother and I entered the Pioneer Clubs, a weekly kid’s programme at our school. Daniel was nine, and I was eleven. My dad and my mother were all teachers at the same school. At one point during the year, my brother began to complain that a boy named John was picking on him.
John is an eleven-year-old boy. He and I were both in my dad’s class. He was the type of kid who always seemed to be in trouble. What’s worse, he didn’t consider that it was his behaviour that was the problem, but instead decided my dad was picking on him. He often picked on my brother by knocking off his hat, calling his name, kicking him and running away. When my mum heard about the problem, she came home from town a few days later with a bag of candies.
“These are for John,” she told Daniel and me. “For whom ”
“For John. ”Mum went on to explain how an enemy could be conquered (战胜) by kindness.
It was hard for any of us to imagine being kind to John. But the next week we went to Pioneer Clubs with candies in our pockets — one for ourselves and one for John. As I was heading to my class, I overheard Daniel saying, “Here John, this is for you.” When we got home, I asked what John’s response had been.
Daniel shrugged (耸肩) “He just looked surprised, then he said thank you and ate it.”
The next week when John came running over, Daniel held on to his hat and got himself ready for an attack. But John didn’t touch him. He only asked, “Hey, Daniel, do you have any more candies ”
After that, John found him every week and asked for a candy, and most times Daniel remembered to bring them — one for himself, and one for John.
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。
At the same time, I “conquered my enemy” in another way.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It has been a long time since John picked on my brother last time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At the same time, I “conquered my enemy” in another way. One time I met John in the hall. Before he started to open his mouth, I said, “Hi, John!” and gave him a big smile before he had a chance to speak. Surprised, he shut his mouth, and I walked on. From then on, whenever I saw him, I would greet him with a smile and say, “Hi, John!” before he had a chance to say anything rude. Instead, he started to simply return the greeting.
It has been a long time since John picked on my brother last time. And he’s not rude to me anymore, either. Even my dad is impressed with the change in him. “He’s a nicer John now than he was a year ago. I guess because someone finally gave him a chance,” says my dad. He wasn’t the only one to change. My whole family learned what it meant to love an enemy. What’s strange is that in the process, we lost that enemy — he was “conquered” by love.

Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I liked to help others, so I was studying to become a firefighter. My parents always encouraged me at that time. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help them. It’s the mindset. which is the most difficult part in this job!
One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the Burrito Joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behaviour. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me, it reminded me when I was young and my mum brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.

As reported in the journal Nature, one system can directly remove carbon dioxide from sources ranging from flue gas (烟道气) to the atmosphere by using electricity to induce a water-and-oxygen-based electrochemical reaction. This technological achievement could turn direct air capture (捕获) from edge industry into a promising front for climate change relief.
Most carbon-capture systems involve a two-step process: First, high-pH liquids are used to separate the carbon dioxide, which is acidic, from mixed-gas streams such as flue gas. Next, the carbon dioxide is regenerated from the solution through heating or by injecting a low-pH liquid.
“Once the carbon dioxide is trapped in these solvents (溶剂), you have to regenerate it,” says Haotian Wang, assistant professor at Rice University. “There are literally no chemicals produced or consumed with our process. We also don’t need to heat up or pressurize our device, we just need to put it into a power outlet and it will work.”
Another drawback of current carbon-capture technologies is their reliance on large-scale, centralized infrastructure. By contrast, the system developed in the Wang lab is an extensible, modular, point-of-use concept that can adapt to a variety of scenarios. “The technology can be scaled up to industrial settings-power plants, chemical plants-but the great thing about it is that it allows for small-scale use as well: I can even use it in my office.” Wang says.
Also the reactor can continuously remove carbon dioxide from a simulated (模拟的) flue gas with efficiency above 98% using a relatively low electricity input. Wang notes that the process has “no carbon footprint or a very limited footprint” if powered by electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind. “This is great news considering that renewablel electricity is becoming more and more cost-effective,” Wang says.
8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Add up some opposite reasons. B. Offer basic evidences to the topic.
C. Summarize the following paragraphs. D. Provide some background information.
9. What do we know about Wang’s system according to the text
A. It involves a two-step process. B. It creates some chemicals.
C. It is simple and easy to operate. D. It needs to be used in big plants.
10. How does the author support the topic
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing many numbers.
C. By providing research results. D. By analyzing causes and effects.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Wang’s technology
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
D
Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.
And while it’s unlikely your wristwatch’s power source will ever be safe to eat, that doesn’t mean all batteries will remain uneatable-in fact, some are being designed with digestion specifically in mind.
A team of researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology recently revealed what isl being called as the world’s first fully rechargeable, eatable battery. As detailed in a paper published with Advanced Materials, the new device has made good use of some eatable materials.
“Eatable electronic devices will have major implications for gastrointestinal tract (胃肠道) monitoring, treatment, as well as rapid food quality monitoring,” reads the paper’s abstract, adding that although recent research proved the feasibility of eatable sensors and circuits, “fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples.”
According to the team’s findings, their proof-of-concept battery was capable of producing 0.65 volts, which is safely low enough for the human body to handle. The ingestible could provide 48 μA of current for 12 minutes, or alternatively, a few microamps (微安) for over an hour. Such a power supply could provide enough energy for small electronics alike to eatable pill-shaped modules and other gastrointestinal procedure alternatives.
In a statement, researcher coordinator Mario Caironi explained that such a product could help power monitors for both human health conditions and food storage. Additionally, given their safety, products with stronger power could be used within children’s toys, where ingestion risk is higher.
In the team’s statement co-author Ivan Ilic also explained that despite the battery’s relatively low power, its digestibility provides a promising example of a battery that doesn’t use any harmful materials.
12. What is the necessity of developing eatable batteries
A. They help with the food shortage. B. They can avoid the harm caused by eating batteries.
C. They are useful in some special fields. D. They have no impact on the environment.
13. Which is the closest in meaning to “feasibility” in Paragraph 4
A. Availability. B. Flexibility. C. Responsibility. D. Possibility.
14. What can we infer from the statements in the last paragraph
A. The application of the battery has a long way to go.
B. The eatable batteries will be widely used in our life.
C. The development of the eatable battery is promising.
D. The eatable batteries will soon be put into production.
15. In which section of a magazine can we read the text
A. News Corner. B. Story Garden. C. Language World. D. Technology Square.

Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I liked to help others, so I was studying to become a firefighter. My parents always encouraged me at that time. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help them. It’s the mindset. which is the most difficult part in this job!
One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the Burrito Joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behaviour. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me, it reminded me when I was young and my mum brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.

As reported in the journal Nature, one system can directly remove carbon dioxide from sources ranging from flue gas (烟道气) to the atmosphere by using electricity to induce a water-and-oxygen-based electrochemical reaction. This technological achievement could turn direct air capture (捕获) from edge industry into a promising front for climate change relief.
Most carbon-capture systems involve a two-step process: First high-pH liquids are used to separate the carbon dioxide, which is acidic, from mixed-gas streams such as flue gas. Next, the carbon dioxide is regenerated from the solution through heating or by injecting a low-pH liquid.
“Once the carbon dioxide is trapped in these solvents (溶剂), you have to regenerate it,” says Haotian Wang, assistant professor at Rice University. “There are literally no chemicals produced or consumed with our process. We also don’t need to heat up or pressurize our device, we just need to put it into a power outlet and it will work.”
Another drawback of current carbon-capture technologies is their reliance on large-scale, centralized infrastructure. By contrast, the system developed in the Wang lab is an extensible, modular, point-of-use concept that can adapt to a variety of scenarios. “The technology can be scaled up to industrial settings-power plants, chemical plants-but the great thing about it is that it allows for small-scale use as well: I can even use it in my office.” Wang says.
Also the reactor can continuously remove carbon dioxide from a simulated (模拟的) flue gas with efficiency above 98% using a relatively low electricity input. Wang notes that the process has “no carbon footprint or a very limited footprint” if powered by electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind. “This is great news considering that renewablel electricity is becoming more and more cost-effective,” Wang says.
8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Add up some opposite reasons. B. Offer basic evidences to the topic.
C Summarize the following paragraphs. D. Provide some background information.
9. What do we know about Wang’s system according to the text
A. It involves a two-step process. B. It creates some chemicals.
C. It is simple and easy to operate. D. It needs to be used in big plants.
10. How does the author support the topic
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing many numbers.
C. By providing research results. D. By analyzing causes and effects.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Wang’s technology
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.

D
Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.
And while it’s unlikely your wristwatch’s power source will ever be safe to eat, that doesn’t mean all batteries will remain uneatable-in fact, some are being designed with digestion specifically in mind.
A team of researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology recently revealed what isl being called as the world’s first fully rechargeable, eatable battery. As detailed in a paper published with Advanced Materials, the new device has made good use of some eatable materials.
“Eatable electronic devices will have major implications for gastrointestinal tract (胃肠道) monitoring, treatment, as well as rapid food quality monitoring,” reads the paper’s abstract, adding that although recent research proved the feasibility of eatable sensors and circuits, “fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples.”
According to the team’s findings, their proof-of-concept battery was capable of producing 0.65 volts, which is safely low enough for the human body to handle. The ingestible could provide 48 μA of current for 12 minutes, or alternatively, a few microamps (微安) for over an hour. Such a power supply could provide enough energy for small electronics alike to eatable pill-shaped modules and other gastrointestinal procedure alternatives.
In a statement, researcher coordinator Mario Caironi explained that such a product could help power monitors for both human health conditions and food storage. Additionally, given their safety, products with stronger power could be used within children’s toys, where ingestion risk is higher.
In the team’s statement, co-author Ivan Ilic also explained that despite the battery’s relatively low power, its digestibility provides a promising example of a battery that doesn’t use any harmful materials.
12. What is the necessity of developing eatable batteries
A. They help with the food shortage. B. They can avoid the harm caused by eating batteries.
C. They are useful in some special fields. D. They have no impact on the environment.
13. Which is the closest in meaning to “feasibility” in Paragraph 4
A. Availability. B. Flexibility. C. Responsibility. D. Possibility.
14. What can we infer from the statements in the last paragraph
A. The application of the battery has a long way to go.
B. The eatable batteries will be widely used in our life.
C. The development of the eatable battery is promising.
D. The eatable batteries will soon be put into production.
15. In which section of a magazine can we read the text
A. News Corner. B. Story Garden. C. Language World. D. Technology Square.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Last year, my brother and I entered the Pioneer Clubs, a weekly kid’s programme at our school. Daniel was nine, and I was eleven. My dad and my mother were all teachers at the same school. At one point during the year, my brother began to complain that a boy named John was picking on him.
John is an eleven-year-old boy. He and I were both in my dad’s class. He was the type of kid who always seemed to be in trouble. What’s worse, he didn’t consider that it was his behaviour that was the problem, but instead decided my dad was picking on him. He often picked on my brother by knocking off his hat, calling his name, kicking him and running away. When my mum heard about the problem, she came home from town a few days later with a bag of candies.
“These are for John,” she told Daniel and me. “For whom ”
“For John. ”Mum went on to explain how an enemy could be conquered (战胜) by kindness.
It was hard for any of us to imagine being kind to John. But the next week we went to Pioneer Clubs with candies in our pockets — one for ourselves and one for John. As I was heading to my class, I overheard Daniel saying, “Here John, this is for you.” When we got home, I asked what John’s response had been.
Daniel shrugged (耸肩) “He just looked surprised, then he said thank you and ate it.”
The next week when John came running over, Daniel held on to his hat and got himself ready for an attack. But John didn’t touch him. He only asked, “Hey, Daniel, do you have any more candies ”
After that, John found him every week and asked for a candy, and most times Daniel remembered to bring them — one for himself, and one for John.
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。
At the same time, I “conquered my enemy” in another way.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It has been a long time since John picked on my brother last time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At the same time, I “conquered my enemy” in another way. One time I met John in the hall. Before he started to open his mouth, I said, “Hi, John!” and gave him a big smile before he had a chance to speak. Surprised, he shut his mouth, and I walked on. From then on, whenever I saw him, I would greet him with a smile and say, “Hi, John!” before he had a chance to say anything rude. Instead, he started to simply return the greeting.
It has been a long time since John picked on my brother last time. And he’s not rude to me anymore, either. Even my dad is impressed with the change in him. “He’s a nicer John now than he was a year ago. I guess because someone finally gave him a chance,” says my dad. He wasn’t the only one to change. My whole family learned what it meant to love an enemy. What’s strange is that in the process, we lost that enemy — he was “conquered” by love.
