The other day I was going through the airport at Ibiza and getting my Spanish exit stamp—a Brexit benefit or drawback depending on how you feel—and the nice passport lady flicked through (浏览) my passport, seeking a rare empty page, and said: “Wow, you have a lot of stamps.” Like a five-year-old, I practically glowed with pride.
Because I do have a lot of stamps. And sometimes I simply like to look at them. Right now, my passport is so full of stamps it is in danger of filling up. However, there is a fair chance that this won’t happen—not because I have any intention of ceasing my travels, but because most countries are moving on from the era of physical stamps. In future our comings and goings will be monitored digitally—and speedily.
This will, of course, be great for shortening airport queues, but it also means we will kiss goodbye to the romance of the exotic (奇异的) stamp, that reminder of the time we crossed from, say, Chile to Bolivia via the Andes and the salt plains. Or that first time we landed in the USA and got one of the simplest stamps of all. The border officer smiled as he stamped my passport and said: “Welcome to America.”
In my decades of travel, I have acquired some seriously—to my mind—exotic and wonderful stamps: Armenia, Madagascar, Greenland. Some of the smallest countries demand entire pages of your passport—looking at you, Cambodia.
Then there are the special stamps to truly remote destinations. My personal favourite is probably the one I got going into the Republic of Mount Athos in northern Greece. It was magnificently beautiful: the double-headed eagle of Byzantium, returned to life and impressed on my passport pages.
It was certainly more cheerful than the stamp I once got from the British embassy in Bangkok, which arranged for my return to the UK from Thailand after I really misbehaved. That stamp said “Impound (扣留) Passport on Arrival in London”. And so they did.
Yet I miss that stamp too.
4. What does the author think of the shift from physical stamps to digital records
A. Convenient but romance-reducing. B. Eco-friendly but culture-erasing.
C. Modern but artistically inferior. D. Cost-efficient but emotionally hurtful.
5. What does the underlined word “you” in paragraph 4 refer to
A Readers. B. Pages. C. Cambodia. D. Stamps.
6. Why does the author mention the Bangkok stamp
A. To exhibit the extent of his global travels.
B. To present a less positive travel experience.
C. To highlight his attachment to all his stamps.
D. To reflect on his misbehavior and its consequences.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. My Favorite Passport Stamps
B. The Beauty of Passport Stamps
C. Digital Progress: Passport Stamps at Risk
D Passport Stamps: Bridging Borders and Cultures

A recent report called for intensified efforts to employ chemical recycling as a key solution to addressing plastic pollution, considering its potential to dispose of low-value plastic waste that is difficult to recycle. By 2035, the oil output from chemical recycling could potentially be double that of China’s largest oil production base, said the report.
Chemical recycling is one of two major ways to recycle waste plastic. It splits (降解) polymer-chains and creates products such as oil. The other way is mechanical recycling, which crushes waste to make new plastic products. Mechanical recycling is a good way to recycle engineering plastics, plastic bottles and hard plastic packages. However, it is not economically or technologically practical for recycling flexible plastic packages and plastic films, which account for about 46 percent of the plastic produced in China.
Citing statistics from the Plastic Recycling Association, a news release from the academy said about 62 million metric tons of waste plastic was generated across the country last year, with about 19 million tons recycled. It said that placed China at an internationally advanced level in waste plastic recycling. “However, China now faces the development bottleneck in further increasing the rate,” it said. “There is an urgent need to tap chemical recycling.”
The report said China is expected to produce 155 million tons of plastic a year by 2035. If chemical recycling is applied on a large scale, the country will be able to see remarkable drops in plastic waste and emissions of carbon dioxide, and a significant increase in oil production. If 30 percent of the country’s plastic waste is chemically recycled in 2035, the country will manage to reduce plastic waste by almost 36 million tons a year.
The report listed a series of proposals to increase the chemical recycling of plastic waste. It proposed comprising chemical recycling as a key part of the country’s governance system for controlling plastic pollution and guaranteeing energy security, as well as the country’s policy and regulation system for managing plastic pollution. It also suggested establishing a recycling system that furthers the development of chemical recycling, and rolling out demonstration projects that apply the approach.
8. How does chemical recycling work
A. It crushes waste and creates chains. B. It splits hard bottles and produces oil.
C. It degrades plastic and makes new products. D. It recycles waste plastic and reuses hard packages.
9. What drives China to tap chemical recycling
A. The inability to generate waste. B. The limit in plastic recycling progress.
C. The large amount of used plastic. D. The failure to meet recycling standards.
10. What do the figures in paragraph 4 imply
A Limited effects in carbon dioxide absorption.
B. Serious situations in plastic and oil production.
C. Significant changes of plastic recycling application.
D. Promising prospects of chemical recycling application.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Challenges of China’s Mechanical Recycling
B. Overview of China’s Plastic Recycling Techniques
C. Chemical Recycling to Reduce Plastic Waste in China
D. Chemical Recycling to Further Economic Development
D
There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and prevalent (普遍的) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.
This bias (偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage.
In Australia, people who admitted to poaching (偷猎) thought it was much more prevalent in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms.
Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a-lot of trash scattered around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help.
Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly buy eco-friendly products.
As the research evidence shows, social norms can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article!
12. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect
A. A student spends long hours surfing the internet.
B A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts.
C. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.
D. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking.
13. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching
A. It is unacceptable. B. It is widespread.
C. It is controversial. D. It is complex.
14. What do the underlined words “go green to be seen” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Embrace green habits for better health.
B. Make green choices that others can perceive.
C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment.
D. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores.
15. What is a recommended approach to addressing environmental problems
A. Understate social norms. B. Highlight personal responsibilities.
C Publicize sustainable practices. D. Encourage technological innovations.
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。
In some ways, it is surprising that languages change. After all, they are passed down through the generations reliably enough for parents and children to communicate with each other. ___16___ For example, while Japanese has changed relatively little over a thousand years, English evolved rapidly in just a few centuries. Many present-day speakers find Shakespeare’s sixteenth-century plays difficult and Chaucer’s fourteenth- century The Canterbury Tales nearly impossible to read.
Languages change for a variety of reasons. Large-scale shifts often occur in response to social, economic, and political pressures, as there are many examples of language change fueled by invasions, colonization, and migration. ___17___ New technologies, industries, products and experiences simply require new words. By using new and emerging terms, we all drive language change. But the unique way that individuals speak also fuels language change because no two individuals use a language in exactly the same way. ___18___ Through our day-to-day interactions, we pick up words and sayings from other people and integrate them into our speech. Teens and young adults, for example, often use different words and phrases from their parents. Some of them spread through the population and slowly change the language.
___19___ Vocabulary can change quickly as new words are borrowed from other languages, or as words get coined, combined, or shortened. Some words are even created through misinterpretation of form. While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure — the order of words in a sentence changes more slowly. ___20___ For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically. This shift represents the biggest difference between the pronunciation of Middle English and Modern English.
A. Changes in sound are somewhat harder to document but just as interesting.
B. As long as people are using a language, that language will undergo some change.
C. All natural languages change, and language change affects all areas of language use.
D. Yet linguists find that all living languages change over time — at different rates though.
E. The three main areas of language that change over time are vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciation.
F. Even without these kinds of influences, a language can change dramatically if enough users adopt a new way of speaking.
G. The vocabulary and phrases people use depend on where they live, their age, education level, social status and other factors.

While making our way up the hill, my daughters stopped occasionally to investigate unknown plants and to look at the abandoned deer beds... These really made their ___24___.
As the shadows started to ___25___, we moved further up. Soon, weariness (疲劳) began to ___26___ enthusiasm. We decided to return. Instead of backtracking over our ___27___ route, I chose to walk down the steep side of the hill, ___28___ my general sense that ahead of us lay the stream that would guide us to the road. But as the terrain (地形) leveled out, I had my first major moment of ___29___: Where was the stream Were we off course
I instinctively pulled out my phone to get my location, but it ____30____ in my hand in the cold air. ____31____, I started feeling a bit panicky. However, I quickly ____32____ myself, reassuring my daughters to continue walking. Focusing on the landmarks, I spotted a familiar tree and eventually ____33____ the road.
That winter’s day taught me a valuable lesson about habitual reliance on technology. If my phone had ____34____ then, I might have directly followed the GPS, ignoring the old ____35____ of depending on surroundings and life skills.
21. A. challenge B. shock C. reward D. reminder
22. A. discovery B. response C. worry D. urge

At the lively background of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games (残奥会), ___37___ quiet but significant cultural exchange took place.

This exhibition not only marks the 60th anniversary of China-France relations, but also strengthens cultural ties ___43___the two nations.

It was time for the annual Potato-Salad Contest in Russet Park. After trying for the third time, Alexis shook her head sadly. There was no way she would win the Golden Potato again because Grandpa wasn’t here this year.
Memories of how Grandpa taught her to make potato rose in her mind. She sighed and missed Grandpa so much.
Alexis cut the potatoes and mixed the boiled potatoes, some sauces and a little salt and peppers in a bowl. But it didn’t taste right. Alexis tried a bite of the salad mixture, wondering what was missing. Seeing her frown, Mom suggested, “What about something spicy Your Grandpa loved spicy things.”
“You’re right! Maybe he put a jalapeno pepper in it,” Alexis said, cutting up a bright green jalapeno and adding it to the bowl.
It was closer, but it still didn’t taste right. Alexis was drooping her head, disappointed. “Should we look in a cookbook ”
“Grandpa was never one to follow a recipe,” Dad entered the kitchen and said.
It was true. People loved Grandpa’s potato salad because it was one of a kind. Alexis remembered posing with Grandpa for a photo while they were making the salad.
Photo! That gave her an idea. Alexis hurried to the bookcase and found an old photo album. She immediately flipped it open, expecting to find clues in the photos there. Lots of photos showed Grandpa and Grandma cooking together. Dad laughed, “He and Grandma loved to tease each other but he always called her Honey.”
“Do you think he put honey in the potato salad ” Mum asked.
“It is worth a try,” said Alexis. She stirred some honey into the bowl.
But it still wasn’t quite right. Alexis’ heart sank, on the verge of giving up. Dad kept flipping the album. At the end of the album was the picture of Grandpa and Alexis making the salad together.
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。
It looked like Grandpa was crying in the photo.

The other day I was going through the airport at Ibiza and getting my Spanish exit stamp—a Brexit benefit or drawback depending on how you feel—and the nice passport lady flicked through (浏览) my passport, seeking a rare empty page, and said: “Wow, you have a lot of stamps.” Like a five-year-old, I practically glowed with pride.
Because I do have a lot of stamps. And sometimes I simply like to look at them. Right now, my passport is so full of stamps it is in danger of filling up. However, there is a fair chance that this won’t happen—not because I have any intention of ceasing my travels, but because most countries are moving on from the era of physical stamps. In future our comings and goings will be monitored digitally—and speedily.
This will, of course, be great for shortening airport queues, but it also means we will kiss goodbye to the romance of the exotic (奇异的) stamp, that reminder of the time we crossed from, say, Chile to Bolivia via the Andes and the salt plains. Or that first time we landed in the USA and got one of the simplest stamps of all. The border officer smiled as he stamped my passport and said: “Welcome to America.”
In my decades of travel, I have acquired some seriously—to my mind—exotic and wonderful stamps: Armenia, Madagascar, Greenland. Some of the smallest countries demand entire pages of your passport—looking at you, Cambodia.
Then there are the special stamps to truly remote destinations. My personal favourite is probably the one I got going into the Republic of Mount Athos in northern Greece. It was magnificently beautiful: the double-headed eagle of Byzantium, returned to life and impressed on my passport pages.
It was certainly more cheerful than the stamp I once got from the British embassy in Bangkok, which arranged for my return to the UK from Thailand after I really misbehaved. That stamp said “Impound (扣留) Passport on Arrival in London”. And so they did.
Yet I miss that stamp too.
4. What does the author think of the shift from physical stamps to digital records
A. Convenient but romance-reducing. B. Eco-friendly but culture-erasing.

A recent report called for intensified efforts to employ chemical recycling as a key solution to addressing plastic pollution, considering its potential to dispose of low-value plastic waste that is difficult to recycle. By 2035, the oil output from chemical recycling could potentially be double that of China’s largest oil production base, said the report.
Chemical recycling is one of two major ways to recycle waste plastic. It splits (降解) polymer-chains and creates products such as oil. The other way is mechanical recycling, which crushes waste to make new plastic products. Mechanical recycling is a good way to recycle engineering plastics, plastic bottles and hard plastic packages. However, it is not economically or technologically practical for recycling flexible plastic packages and plastic films, which account for about 46 percent of the plastic produced in China.
Citing statistics from the Plastic Recycling Association, a news release from the academy said about 62 million metric tons of waste plastic was generated across the country last year, with about 19 million tons recycled. It said that placed China at an internationally advanced level in waste plastic recycling. “However, China now faces the development bottleneck in further increasing the rate,” it said. “There is an urgent need to tap chemical recycling.”
The report said China is expected to produce 155 million tons of plastic a year by 2035. If chemical recycling is applied on a large scale the country will be able to see remarkable drops in plastic waste and emissions of carbon dioxide, and a significant increase in oil production. If 30 percent of the country’s plastic waste is chemically recycled in 2035, the country will manage to reduce plastic waste by almost 36 million tons a year.
The report listed a series of proposals to increase the chemical recycling of plastic waste. It proposed comprising chemical recycling as a key part of the country’s governance system for controlling plastic pollution and guaranteeing energy security, as well as the country’s policy and regulation system for managing plastic pollution. It also suggested establishing a recycling system that furthers the development of chemical recycling, and rolling out demonstration projects that apply the approach.
8. How does chemical recycling work
A. It crushes waste and creates chains. B. It splits hard bottles and produces oil.
C. It degrades plastic and makes new products. D. It recycles waste plastic and reuses hard packages.
9. What drives China to tap chemical recycling
A. The inability to generate waste. B. The limit in plastic recycling progress.
C. The large amount of used plastic. D. The failure to meet recycling standards.
10. What do the figures in paragraph 4 imply
A. Limited effects in carbon dioxide absorption.
B. Serious situations in plastic and oil production.
C. Significant changes of plastic recycling application.
D. Promising prospects of chemical recycling application.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Challenges of China’s Mechanical Recycling
B. Overview of China’s Plastic Recycling Techniques
C. Chemical Recycling to Reduce Plastic Waste in China
D. Chemical Recycling to Further Economic Development

There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and prevalent (普遍的) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.
This bias (偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage.
In Australia, people who admitted to poaching (偷猎) thought it was much more prevalent in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms.
Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a-lot of trash scattered around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help.
Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly buy eco-friendly products.
As the research evidence shows, social norms can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article!
12. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect
A. A student spends long hours surfing the internet.
B. A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts.
C. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.
D. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking.
13. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching
A. It is unacceptable. B. It is widespread.
C. It is controversial. D. It is complex.
14. What do the underlined words “go green to be seen” in paragraph 5 mean
A Embrace green habits for better health.
B. Make green choices that others can perceive.
C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment.
D. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores.
15. What is a recommended approach to addressing environmental problems
A. Understate social norms. B. Highlight personal responsibilities.
C. Publicize sustainable practices. D. Encourage technological innovations.

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。
In some ways, it is surprising that languages change. After all, they are passed down through the generations reliably enough for parents and children to communicate with each other. ___16___ For example, while Japanese has changed relatively little over a thousand years, English evolved rapidly in just a few centuries. Many present-day speakers find Shakespeare’s sixteenth-century plays difficult and Chaucer’s fourteenth- century The Canterbury Tales nearly impossible to read.
Languages change for a variety of reasons. Large-scale shifts often occur in response to social, economic, and political pressures, as there are many examples of language change fueled by invasions, colonization, and migration. ___17___ New technologies, industries, products and experiences simply require new words. By using new and emerging terms, we all drive language change. But the unique way that individuals speak also fuels language change because no two individuals use a language in exactly the same way. ___18___ Through our day-to-day interactions, we pick up words and sayings from other people and integrate them into our speech. Teens and young adults, for example, often use different words and phrases from their parents. Some of them spread through the population and slowly change the language.
___19___ Vocabulary can change quickly as new words are borrowed from other languages, or as words get coined, combined, or shortened. Some words are even created through misinterpretation of form. While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure — the order of words in a sentence changes more slowly. ___20___ For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically. This shift represents the biggest difference between the pronunciation of Middle English and Modern English.
A. Changes in sound are somewhat harder to document but just as interesting.
B. As long as people are using a language, that language will undergo some change.
C. All natural languages change, and language change affects all areas of language use.
D. Yet linguists find that all living languages change over time — at different rates though.
E. The three main areas of language that change over time are vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciation.
F. Even without these kinds of influences, a language can change dramatically if enough users adopt a new way of speaking.
G. The vocabulary and phrases people use depend on where they live, their age, education level, social status and other factors.

It was time for the annual Potato-Salad Contest in Russet Park. After trying for the third time, Alexis shook her head sadly. There was no way she would win the Golden Potato again because Grandpa wasn’t here this year.
Memories of how Grandpa taught her to make potato rose in her mind. She sighed and missed Grandpa so much.
Alexis cut the potatoes and mixed the boiled potatoes, some sauces and a little salt and peppers in a bowl. But it didn’t taste right. Alexis tried a bite of the salad mixture, wondering what was missing. Seeing her frown, Mom suggested, “What about something spicy Your Grandpa loved spicy things.”
“You’re right! Maybe he put a jalapeno pepper in it,” Alexis said, cutting up a bright green jalapeno and adding it to the bowl.
It was closer, but it still didn’t taste right. Alexis was drooping her head, disappointed. “Should we look in a cookbook ”
“Grandpa was never one to follow a recipe,” Dad entered the kitchen and said.
It was true. People loved Grandpa’s potato salad because it was one of a kind. Alexis remembered posing with Grandpa for a photo while they were making the salad.
Photo! That gave her an idea. Alexis hurried to the bookcase and found an old photo album. She immediately flipped it open, expecting to find clues in the photos there. Lots of photos showed Grandpa and Grandma cooking together. Dad laughed, “He and Grandma loved to tease each other but he always called her Honey.”
“Do you think he put honey in the potato salad ” Mum asked.
“It is worth a try,” said Alexis. She stirred some honey into the bowl.
But it still wasn’t quite right. Alexis’ heart sank, on the verge of giving up. Dad kept flipping the album. At the end of the album was the picture of Grandpa and Alexis making the salad together.

【答案】范文
It looked like Grandpa was crying in the photo. Crying! Yes, the secret was about crying! Grandpa once said with wet eyes that the potato salad definitely brought tears to his eyes. It seemed that Alexis found out the final secret ingredient. Full of hope in her eyes, she quickly rushed to the cabinet and grabbed an onion. Then, delighted and expected, she cut the onion with tears in her eyes. Finally, adding the onions into the salad and mixed it, Alexis’s palms getting sweaty. Heart raising, she held the salad to her family and waited for their try.
With hesitation, the family tasted the potato salad with onions in it. Nodding their heads at the same time, smile flickered across everyone’s face. They eventually figured out Grandpa’s recipe. Finally, Alexis completed the salad and took part in the contest. As the result that Alexis’s potato salad won was announced, Alexis was thinking about Grandpa, her tears welling up uncontrollably. She hugged the Golden Potato to her chest and wore a shining smile, saying “Just because of the onions.” It’s not only a recipe for delicious food but also a recipe for a happy family.

A recent report called for intensified efforts to employ chemical recycling as a key solution to addressing plastic pollution, considering its potential to dispose of low-value plastic waste that is difficult to recycle. By 2035, the oil output from chemical recycling could potentially be double that of China’s largest oil production base, said the report.
Chemical recycling is one of two major ways to recycle waste plastic. It splits (降解) polymer-chains and creates products such as oil. The other way is mechanical recycling, which crushes waste to make new plastic products. Mechanical recycling is a good way to recycle engineering plastics, plastic bottles and hard plastic packages. However, it is not economically or technologically practical for recycling flexible plastic packages and plastic films, which account for about 46 percent of the plastic produced in China.

It proposed comprising chemical recycling as a key part of the country’s governance system for controlling plastic pollution and guaranteeing energy security, as well as the country’s policy and regulation system for managing plastic pollution. It also suggested establishing a recycling system that furthers the development of chemical recycling, and rolling out demonstration projects that apply the approach.

A. It crushes waste and creates chains. B. It splits hard bottles and produces oil.

There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and prevalent (普遍的) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.
This bias (偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage.
In Australia, people who admitted to poaching (偷猎) thought it was much more prevalent in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms.
Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a-lot of trash scattered around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help.
Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly buy eco-friendly products.
As the research evidence shows, social norms can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article!
12. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect
A. A student spends long hours surfing the internet.
B A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts.
C. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.
D. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking.
13. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching
A. It is unacceptable. B. It is widespread.
C. It is controversial. D. It is complex.
14. What do the underlined words “go green to be seen” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Embrace green habits for better health.
B. Make green choices that others can perceive.
C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment.
D. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores.
15. What is a recommended approach to addressing environmental problems

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。
In some ways, it is surprising that languages change. After all, they are passed down through the generations reliably enough for parents and children to communicate with each other. ___16___ For example, while Japanese has changed relatively little over a thousand years, English evolved rapidly in just a few centuries. Many present-day speakers find Shakespeare’s sixteenth-century plays difficult and Chaucer’s fourteenth- century The Canterbury Tales nearly impossible to read.
Languages change for a variety of reasons. Large-scale shifts often occur in response to social, economic, and political pressures, as there are many examples of language change fueled by invasions, colonization, and migration. ___17___ New technologies, industries, products and experiences simply require new words. By using new and emerging terms, we all drive language change. But the unique way that individuals speak also fuels language change because no two individuals use a language in exactly the same way. ___18___ Through our day-to-day interactions, we pick up words and sayings from other people and integrate them into our speech. Teens and young adults, for example, often use different words and phrases from their parents. Some of them spread through the population and slowly change the language.
___19___ Vocabulary can change quickly as new words are borrowed from other languages, or as words get coined, combined, or shortened. Some words are even created through misinterpretation of form. While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure — the order of words in a sentence changes more slowly. ___20___ For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically. This shift represents the biggest difference between the pronunciation of Middle English and Modern English.
A. Changes in sound are somewhat harder to document but just as interesting.
B. As long as people are using a language, that language will undergo some change.
C. All natural languages change, and language change affects all areas of language use.
D. Yet linguists find that all living languages change over time — at different rates though.
E. The three main areas of language that change over time are vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciation.
F. Even without these kinds of influences, a language can change dramatically if enough users adopt a new way of speaking.
G. The vocabulary and phrases people use depend on where they live, their age, education level, social status and other factors.

It was time for the annual Potato-Salad Contest in Russet Park. After trying for the third time, Alexis shook her head sadly. There was no way she would win the Golden Potato again because Grandpa wasn’t here this year.
Memories of how Grandpa taught her to make potato rose in her mind. She sighed and missed Grandpa so much.
Alexis cut the potatoes and mixed the boiled potatoes, some sauces and a little salt and peppers in a bowl. But it didn’t taste right. Alexis tried a bite of the salad mixture, wondering what was missing. Seeing her frown, Mom suggested, “What about something spicy Your Grandpa loved spicy things.”
“You’re right! Maybe he put a jalapeno pepper in it,” Alexis said, cutting up a bright green jalapeno and adding it to the bowl.
It was closer, but it still didn’t taste right. Alexis was drooping her head, disappointed. “Should we look in a cookbook ”
“Grandpa was never one to follow a recipe,” Dad entered the kitchen and said.
It was true. People loved Grandpa’s potato salad because it was one of a kind. Alexis remembered posing with Grandpa for a photo while they were making the salad.
Photo! That gave her an idea. Alexis hurried to the bookcase and found an old photo album. She immediately flipped it open, expecting to find clues in the photos there. Lots of photos showed Grandpa and Grandma cooking together. Dad laughed, “He and Grandma loved to tease each other but he always called her Honey.”
“Do you think he put honey in the potato salad ” Mum asked.
“It is worth a try,” said Alexis. She stirred some honey into the bowl.
But it still wasn’t quite right. Alexis’ heart sank, on the verge of giving up. Dad kept flipping the album. At the end of the album was the picture of Grandpa and Alexis making the salad together.

The other day I was going through the airport at Ibiza and getting my Spanish exit stamp—a Brexit benefit or drawback depending on how you feel—and the nice passport lady flicked through (浏览) my passport, seeking a rare empty page, and said: “Wow, you have a lot of stamps.” Like a five-year-old, I practically glowed with pride.
Because I do have a lot of stamps. And sometimes I simply like to look at them. Right now, my passport is so full of stamps it is in danger of filling up. However, there is a fair chance that this won’t happen—not because I have any intention of ceasing my travels, but because most countries are moving on from the era of physical stamps. In future our comings and goings will be monitored digitally—and speedily.
This will, of course, be great for shortening airport queues, but it also means we will kiss goodbye to the romance of the exotic (奇异的) stamp, that reminder of the time we crossed from, say, Chile to Bolivia via the Andes and the salt plains. Or that first time we landed in the USA and got one of the simplest stamps of all. The border officer smiled as he stamped my passport and said: “Welcome to America.”
In my decades of travel, I have acquired some seriously—to my mind—exotic and wonderful stamps: Armenia, Madagascar, Greenland. Some of the smallest countries demand entire pages of your passport—looking at you, Cambodia.
Then there are the special stamps to truly remote destinations. My personal favourite is probably the one I got going into the Republic of Mount Athos in northern Greece. It was magnificently beautiful: the double-headed eagle of Byzantium, returned to life and impressed on my passport pages.
It was certainly more cheerful than the stamp I once got from the British embassy in Bangkok, which arranged for my return to the UK from Thailand after I really misbehaved. That stamp said “Impound (扣留) Passport on Arrival in London”. And so they did.
Yet I miss that stamp too.
4. What does the author think of the shift from physical stamps to digital records
A. Convenient but romance-reducing. B. Eco-friendly but culture-erasing.
C. Modern but artistically inferior. D. Cost-efficient but emotionally hurtful.
5. What does the underlined word “you” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Readers. B. Pages. C. Cambodia. D. Stamps.
6. Why does the author mention the Bangkok stamp
A To exhibit the extent of his global travels.
B. To present a less positive travel experience.
C. To highlight his attachment to all his stamps.
D. To reflect on his misbehavior and its consequences.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. My Favorite Passport Stamps
B. The Beauty of Passport Stamps
C. Digital Progress: Passport Stamps at Risk
D. Passport Stamps: Bridging Borders and Cultures

A recent report called for intensified efforts to employ chemical recycling as a key solution to addressing plastic pollution, considering its potential to dispose of low-value plastic waste that is difficult to recycle. By 2035, the oil output from chemical recycling could potentially be double that of China’s largest oil production base, said the report.
Chemical recycling is one of two major ways to recycle waste plastic. It splits (降解) polymer-chains and creates products such as oil. The other way is mechanical recycling, which crushes waste to make new plastic products. Mechanical recycling is a good way to recycle engineering plastics, plastic bottles and hard plastic packages. However, it is not economically or technologically practical for recycling flexible plastic packages and plastic films, which account for about 46 percent of the plastic produced in China.
Citing statistics from the Plastic Recycling Association, a news release from the academy said about 62 million metric tons of waste plastic was generated across the country last year, with about 19 million tons recycled. It said that placed China at an internationally advanced level in waste plastic recycling. “However, China now faces the development bottleneck in further increasing the rate,” it said. “There is an urgent need to tap chemical recycling.”
The report said China is expected to produce 155 million tons of plastic a year by 2035. If chemical recycling is applied on a large scale the country will be able to see remarkable drops in plastic waste and emissions of carbon dioxide, and a significant increase in oil production. If 30 percent of the country’s plastic waste is chemically recycled in 2035, the country will manage to reduce plastic waste by almost 36 million tons a year.
The report listed a series of proposals to increase the chemical recycling of plastic waste. It proposed comprising chemical recycling as a key part of the country’s governance system for controlling plastic pollution and guaranteeing energy security, as well as the country’s policy and regulation system for managing plastic pollution. It also suggested establishing a recycling system that furthers the development of chemical recycling, and rolling out demonstration projects that apply the approach.
8. How does chemical recycling work
A. It crushes waste and creates chains. B. It splits hard bottles and produces oil.
C. It degrades plastic and makes new products. D. It recycles waste plastic and reuses hard packages.
9. What drives China to tap chemical recycling
A. The inability to generate waste. B. The limit in plastic recycling progress.
C. The large amount of used plastic. D. The failure to meet recycling standards.
10. What do the figures in paragraph 4 imply
A. Limited effects in carbon dioxide absorption.
B. Serious situations in plastic and oil production.
C. Significant changes of plastic recycling application.
D. Promising prospects of chemical recycling application.
11. What is a suitable title for the text

“Do you think he put honey in the potato salad ” Mum asked.
“It is worth a try,” said Alexis. She stirred some honey into the bowl.
