When Alex Lin was 11, he read an article about electronic waste, or e-waste, and its harmful effects due to toxic substances like mercury（汞） and lead. Concerned, he discussed the issue with his classmates from the Westerly Innovations Network（WIN）, an organization they formed to solve community problems.
To address the e-waste issue, Alex and his friends began by educating themselves on the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They then conducted a survey to assess the situation in their town and discovered a significant lack of awareness about e-waste. Disturbed by their findings, including a case of a man dumping old computers in his backyard, they decided to act.
They organized a two-day e-waste collection drive at a school parking lot, collecting over 21,000 pounds of e-waste. This included out-of-date computers from the school system. Alex’ team then set up a permanent e-waste drop-off center for the town and found a reliable company to recycle the waste, ensuring it wouldn’t be shipped overseas where it could cause harm.
Understanding that reusing is more efficient than recycling, Alex’s team also focused on refurbishing（翻新） old computers. They persuaded their school to teach students how to refurbish donated computers, and they distributed 260 computers to students in need, making a direct impact on their education and the environment.
To create a lasting solution, Alex and his team advocated for e-waste legislation（立法）. After initial setbacks, they successfully advocated for a bill that banned the dumping of e-waste, making Rhode Island the fourth state to create such legislation. This achievement marked a significant step in promoting safe treatment of e-waste.
Recognizing e-waste as a global issue, Alex and his friends expanded their project internationally, establishing WIN teams in Mexico and three African countries. They shipped refurbished media centers to schools and centers in need, further spreading the message about safe e-waste disposal.
24．What made Alex and his team decide to take action on e-waste
A．Their desire to start a recycling business. B．The discovery of low awareness of e-waste.
C．Pressure from the local environmental agency. D．Personal financial gain from collected e-waste.
25．How did Alex’s team promote reusing
A．They advocated for the use of smartphones. B．They started a campaign to buy new computers.
C．They convinced the school to teach refurbishing. D．They distributed new computers to all students.
26．What might mainly contribute to Alex and his team’s success in dealing with e-waste
A．The strong support from local businesses.
B．Their cooperation with recycling companies.
C．The financial assistance from the government.
D．Their raising awareness and acting locally and globally.
27．Which of the following can best describe Alex and his team
A．Athletic and artistic. B．Creative and Curious.
C．Responsible and ambitious. D．Reliable and adventurous.
C
Good friends and good physical health may be even more closely linked than previously thought, new research has found. Researchers discovered that positive social experiences impact not only a person’s stress level and ability to cope, but also serve as markers of physical health, according to a study published in the journal Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
The study followed more than 4,000 people over three weeks as they completed check-ins every three days on their smartphones or smartwatches regarding their positive and negative experiences with their closest social relationships, as well as assessments of their blood pressure, heart rate, stress and coping. Having more positive experiences in social relationships was generally associated with better coping, lower stress and lower blood pressure, according to the study.
“But having social relationships which bounce between good and bad often can be unhelpful. When relationships are volatile, the negative experiences seem to have a bigger impact on a person than the positive,” said lead study author Brian Don of the University of Auckland.
Then, how to build good social relationships Adam Smiley Poswolsky, a workplace belonging expert, suggests starting small. Text a friend that you haven’t talked to in a long time, meet one new person a month, host a dinner party, or join a class. “If you do just one thing, make a list of five people in your life that you care about, and give one of them a phone call,” Poswolsky added.
There might not be just one definition of a good friendship, but most strong relationships share some similar qualities, he said. They tend to prioritize laughter, joy, excitement, courage, and non-judgmental support. And good friendships are often two people helping each other become better versions of themselves, he added. “You know someone is a true friend when they have your back when you’re sick, when you lose your job, when you make a mistake, when you’re stressed, when you’re sad,” Poswolsky said.
28．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The reasons for the study. B．The methods used in the study.
C．The purpose of the study. D．The number of participants.
29．What does the underlined word “volatile” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Inactive. B．Informal. C．Unlucky. D．Unstable.
30．What do we know about friendships from Poswolsky
A．Friendships are defined by the absence of conflict.
B．Friendships are more important than physical health.
C．True friendships are characterized by mutual support.
D．Good friendships should involve frequent interactions.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Why Positive Social Bonds Lead to Stress Relief
B．The Connection Between Friendships and Health
C．How Social Bonds Influence Stress and Well-being
D．The Physical Benefits of Good Social Relationships
D
Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter, according to a new Australian study published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes— like swapping a frozen meat lasagne（宽面条） for the vegetarian option— could push the reduction to as much as 71%.
Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options.
Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equal to taking over1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%.
The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like-for-like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added.
A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product bar code and check its “Planetary Health Rating”, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star（high emissions） to five stars（low emissions）.
“While ecoSwitch is a much-needed first step in providing environmental transparency（透明度） for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive（强制的） display of a single, standardized sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded professor Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London.
32．What is the main finding of the new study
A．Developing countries are to blame for climate change.
B．Switching to eco-friendly groceries makes a difference.
C．Consumers are well aware of the environmental impact.
D．Meat consumption must be reduced to lower emissions.
33．What do the numbers listed in paragraph 3 emphasize
A．The impact of switching groceries. B．The total emissions of Australia.
C．The variety of food categories, D．The number of eco-friendly shoppers.
34．What is the purpose of ecoSwitch
A．To improve food packaging. B．To teach about health benefits.
C．To rate products’ sustainability. D．To promote vegetarian options.
35．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A science journal. B．A course plan.
C．A travel website. D．A fashion magazine.
第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Maybe you are probably getting an earful（训斥） from your inner voice. Often, negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed. 36 .
Listen critically to your inner critic
In high-pressure situations, self-talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our inner voices are caused by emotion. 37 . So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself. And when your inner voices start to fill with words of frustration and discouragement, pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it.
Create psychological distance from yourself
This is one effective way to manage your stress. It can be achieved by using second-or third-person pronouns when referring to the situation. Asking yourself, “ 38 ” is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion. This way you might find your task an interesting challenge instead of a threat.
39
Different types of self-talk work best for specific goals. Instructional self-talk like “shoulders back” or “keep the left arm straight” works to improve technique. Motivational self-talk such as “you’ve got this” or “keep going” can help with confidence, strength, or endurance. It’s important to be aware of the type of self-talk you are using and make sure it matches your goals and needs.
Treat yourself as a friend
Demeaning or negative self-talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead, speak compassionately to yourself— just as you would to a friend. 40 . “I am not good at this.” can be changed to “Relax. You are prepared for this.” “I don’t know what to say.” can be replaced by “Remember to smile and ask good questions.”
A．Why are you feeling so stressed
B．Fit your conversation to your goal
C．What kind of emotion is holding me back
D．Set realistic goals that you’ll actually achieve
E．Recreate negative messages to include positive content
F．Here are tips to boost your performance with better self-talk
G．That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors

I was born with a physical disability that affected my left hand. Three of my fingers were very small, which made it difficult to grasp things like pencils and books. At my first school, the other kids often teased（嘲笑） me about my hand. Each day, I returned home upset, sharing the hurtful words with my mum. She would comfort and encourage me, but I still felt incredibly alone. I longed for friends, yet I faced isolation.
To help me, my mum decided to meet with my teachers to address the issue. They promised to monitor the situation, but things didn’t improve much. I still felt like an outsider and began to hate school, which transformed into a place filled with anxiety rather than learning and fun. I was eager fora sense of belonging but found it tough to connect with my classmates.
My mum’s friend suggested that I transfer to a smaller school known for its welcoming environment. At first, I was hesitant, fearing that the kids there would be just as unkind as my previous classmates. However, I realized I had to try something different, so I took a leap of faith and enrolled. I decided to hide my left hand in the long sleeves there.
On my first day at the new school, I felt a mix of excitement and fear. As I entered the classroom, a girl whose name was Mia greeted me with a bright smile. “Hi! I’m Mia. Welcome!” Her warmth immediately put me at ease. Although I was still concerned about my left hand, Mia seemed interested in getting to know me.
A week later, a strong bond formed between Mia and me. She made a conscious effort to include me in all sorts of activities, from study groups to after-school clubs. Each time she invited me, I felt anxious about my hand which I tried to hide by always wearing long sleeves, even when the weather was warm. Mia’s acceptance made me feel valued and included. It was in these moments of shared laughter that I realized I had to tell her the truth that weighed heavily on my heart.

One day, as we prepared for a group art project, I found the courage to share my deepest worries with Mia. It was Mia’s encouragement that helped me recognize the need to change my mindset.

They persuaded their school to teach students how to refurbish donated computers, and they distributed 260 computers to students in need, making a direct impact on their education and the environment.
To create a lasting solution, Alex and his team advocated for e-waste legislation（立法）. After initial setbacks, they successfully advocated for a bill that banned the dumping of e-waste, making Rhode Island the fourth state to create such legislation. This achievement marked a significant step in promoting safe treatment of e-waste.
Recognizing e-waste as a global issue, Alex and his friends expanded their project internationally, establishing WIN teams in Mexico and three African countries. They shipped refurbished media centers to schools and centers in need, further spreading the message about safe e-waste disposal.

Good friends and good physical health may be even more closely linked than previously thought, new research has found. Researchers discovered that positive social experiences impact not only a person’s stress level and ability to cope, but also serve as markers of physical health, according to a study published in the journal Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
The study followed more than 4,000 people over three weeks as they completed check-ins every three days on their smartphones or smartwatches regarding their positive and negative experiences with their closest social relationships, as well as assessments of their blood pressure, heart rate, stress and coping. Having more positive experiences in social relationships was generally associated with better coping, lower stress and lower blood pressure, according to the study.
“But having social relationships which bounce between good and bad often can be unhelpful. When relationships are volatile, the negative experiences seem to have a bigger impact on a person than the positive,” said lead study author Brian Don of the University of Auckland.
Then, how to build good social relationships Adam Smiley Poswolsky, a workplace belonging expert, suggests starting small. Text a friend that you haven’t talked to in a long time, meet one new person a month, host a dinner party, or join a class. “If you do just one thing, make a list of five people in your life that you care about, and give one of them a phone call,” Poswolsky added.
There might not be just one definition of a good friendship, but most strong relationships share some similar qualities, he said. They tend to prioritize laughter, joy, excitement, courage, and non-judgmental support. And good friendships are often two people helping each other become better versions of themselves, he added. “You know someone is a true friend when they have your back when you’re sick, when you lose your job, when you make a mistake, when you’re stressed, when you’re sad,” Poswolsky said.
28．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The reasons for the study. B．The methods used in the study.
C．The purpose of the study. D．The number of participants.
29．What does the underlined word “volatile” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Inactive. B．Informal. C．Unlucky. D．Unstable.
30．What do we know about friendships from Poswolsky
A．Friendships are defined by the absence of conflict.
B．Friendships are more important than physical health.
C．True friendships are characterized by mutual support.
D．Good friendships should involve frequent interactions.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Why Positive Social Bonds Lead to Stress Relief
B．The Connection Between Friendships and Health
C．How Social Bonds Influence Stress and Well-being
D．The Physical Benefits of Good Social Relationships

Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter, according to a new Australian study published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes— like swapping a frozen meat lasagne（宽面条） for the vegetarian option— could push the reduction to as much as 71%.
Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options.
Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equal to taking over1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%.
The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like-for-like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added.
A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product bar code and check its “Planetary Health Rating”, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star（high emissions） to five stars（low emissions）.
“While ecoSwitch is a much-needed first step in providing environmental transparency（透明度） for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive（强制的） display of a single, standardized sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded professor Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London.
32．What is the main finding of the new study
A．Developing countries are to blame for climate change.
B．Switching to eco-friendly groceries makes a difference.
C．Consumers are well aware of the environmental impact.
D．Meat consumption must be reduced to lower emissions.
33．What do the numbers listed in paragraph 3 emphasize
A．The impact of switching groceries. B．The total emissions of Australia.
C．The variety of food categories, D．The number of eco-friendly shoppers.
34．What is the purpose of ecoSwitch
A．To improve food packaging. B．To teach about health benefits.
C．To rate products’ sustainability. D．To promote vegetarian options.
35．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A science journal. B．A course plan.
C．A travel website. D．A fashion magazine.

Maybe you are probably getting an earful（训斥） from your inner voice. Often, negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed. 36 .
Listen critically to your inner critic
In high-pressure situations, self-talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our inner voices are caused by emotion. 37 . So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself. And when your inner voices start to fill with words of frustration and discouragement, pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it.
Create psychological distance from yourself
This is one effective way to manage your stress. It can be achieved by using second-or third-person pronouns when referring to the situation. Asking yourself, “ 38 ” is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion. This way you might find your task an interesting challenge instead of a threat.

Different types of self-talk work best for specific goals. Instructional self-talk like “shoulders back” or “keep the left arm straight” works to improve technique. Motivational self-talk such as “you’ve got this” or “keep going” can help with confidence, strength, or endurance. It’s important to be aware of the type of self-talk you are using and make sure it matches your goals and needs.
Treat yourself as a friend
Demeaning or negative self-talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead, speak compassionately to yourself— just as you would to a friend. 40 . “I am not good at this.” can be changed to “Relax. You are prepared for this.” “I don’t know what to say.” can be replaced by “Remember to smile and ask good questions.”
A．Why are you feeling so stressed
B．Fit your conversation to your goal
C．What kind of emotion is holding me back
D．Set realistic goals that you’ll actually achieve
E．Recreate negative messages to include positive content
F．Here are tips to boost your performance with better self-talk

I was born with a physical disability that affected my left hand. Three of my fingers were very small, which made it difficult to grasp things like pencils and books. At my first school, the other kids often teased（嘲笑） me about my hand. Each day, I returned home upset, sharing the hurtful words with my mum. She would comfort and encourage me, but I still felt incredibly alone. I longed for friends, yet I faced isolation.
To help me, my mum decided to meet with my teachers to address the issue. They promised to monitor the situation, but things didn’t improve much. I still felt like an outsider and began to hate school, which transformed into a place filled with anxiety rather than learning and fun. I was eager fora sense of belonging but found it tough to connect with my classmates.
My mum’s friend suggested that I transfer to a smaller school known for its welcoming environment. At first, I was hesitant, fearing that the kids there would be just as unkind as my previous classmates. However, I realized I had to try something different, so I took a leap of faith and enrolled. I decided to hide my left hand in the long sleeves there.
On my first day at the new school, I felt a mix of excitement and fear. As I entered the classroom, a girl whose name was Mia greeted me with a bright smile. “Hi! I’m Mia. Welcome!” Her warmth immediately put me at ease. Although I was still concerned about my left hand, Mia seemed interested in getting to know me.
A week later, a strong bond formed between Mia and me. She made a conscious effort to include me in all sorts of activities, from study groups to after-school clubs. Each time she invited me, I felt anxious about my hand which I tried to hide by always wearing long sleeves, even when the weather was warm. Mia’s acceptance made me feel valued and included. It was in these moments of shared laughter that I realized I had to tell her the truth that weighed heavily on my heart.
