Across the world,humans purchase around 1.3 billion single-use plastic water bottles a day.
Because only about 9%of plastic is recycled,the vast majority of those bottles wind up in landfills, the ocean,or elsewhere in nature.
When beach-loving Madison noticed those plastic bottles littering the shoreline during her family's rips to California,the 12-year-old “just felt like this needed to change,"she told Smithsonian Magazine.
So as she began thinking about what to do for her school science fair,back in 2021,the idea of a project centered on reducing plastic pollution quickly came to her mind:She would design an eatable water botle called the Eco-Hero.
"One of my biggest ambitions for my project was wanting to help the world,"the confident young inventor said in a video on a website.
To bring her idea to life,Madison built upon already established methods by experimenting with common food materials.She also took inspiration from previous versions of eatable water bottles,though she focused on making hers bigger and more durable.She found that the
combination of water,lemon juice,natural gum,and alginic ·acid(褐藻酸)resulted in a gel pouch that wouldn't break,could hold up to 3/4 cup of water,and would last in the fridge for three weeks.
Though she'd like to improve the Eco-Hero by making it able to hold more water,she believes her current version would work well as a replacement for the paper cups used by runners in races.All one needs to do is bite a hole in the water ball,drink the water,and then eat the pouch or throw it away to biodegrade.
Madison hopes the Eco-Hero inspires others to take better care of the planet.“It doesn't necessarily have to be in a big way,"she told Smithsonian Magazine."People can still make a difference in the world,even if it's just in a small way."
24.What inspired Madison's design of an eatable water bottle
A.Her school's task. B.Her family's urge.
C.Her trips to the beach. D.Her love for nature.
25.What can we know about the Eco-Hero
A.It is a copy of the previous versions.
B.It is made from unbreakable materials.
C.It has a hole and should be disposed of once used.
D.It is an improvement in size and durability.
26.Which of the following words can best describe Madison
A.Talented and determined. B.Ambitious and creative.
C.Courageous and confident. D.Cooperative and committed.
27.What can be the best title for the text
A.Small people make big moves. B.A good beginning is half done
C.Where there is a will,there is a way. D.Self-help is the best help.

Thousands of fish species—about 2,500 of them named—call the Amazon River home,but scientists estimate nearly half of the marine creatures lurking in the massive stretch of water remain undiscovered.
While studying piranhas(食人鱼)and pacus(淡水白鲳)in an effort to better assess vital fish biodiversity in the river,an international team of researchers has found and identified a new species of pacu,a piranha relative with a plant-based diet and humanlike teeth.
Besides its odd pearly whites,the newfound species has striking orange and black markings —including a bold vertical black bar stretching across its flank(侧面)—that the researchers say resemble the fiery eye symbol for the villain Sauron from"The Lord of the Rings"book and film series.The marks inspired the fish's name,Myloplus sauron.The researchers hoped the pop culture reference would draw attention to the fish and efforts to protect biodiversity in the Amazon.
The eye-catching fish is not the only animal named for Sauron.A genus of butterflies was found in May 2023 with spots that looked like eyes on its wings,reminding researchers of the well-known symbol from the trilogy(三部曲).
Pacus are important to their ecosystem largely due to their role in spreading seeds through their diet of mostly fruit,which make them vital for the growth of rainforest trees and other plants. The fish tend to spread seeds far from their parent plants,helping to expand the forest and limit disease that easily spreads through crowded trees,said Matthew Kolmann,an assistant professor in the department of biology at the University of Louisville.
By discovering and identifying the species that live in certain ecosystems,researchers will be able to better lead conservation efforts to protect animals that are endangered or at risk, Kolmann said.It is particularly important for areas such as the Amazon that are under threat from habitat destruction,he added.“We run the very real risk of losing thousands,if not hundreds of thousands,of species before we know they even exist,and by proxy,not ever understanding how these species contribute to a healthy functioning ecosystem,"Kolmann sáid."Inventorying what species are found where,and when,is the first step in any future conservation effort.”
32.Why does scientists investigate piranhas and pacus in the Amazon River
A.To identify fish multiplicity.
B.To recognize a kind of new fish.
C.To prevent fishes from hurting people.
D.To inspire varied diet on people around the world.
33.What can we learn from the genus of butterflies mentioned in Paragraph 4
A.They are biologically similar to the piranhas.
B.They engage the researchers'interest in the trilogy.
C.They have fiery eyes on their wings indicating poison.
D.They get their name for the same reason with some fish.

34.What role do pacus play in the rainforest
A.Promoting the biodiversity among animals and plants.
B.Maintaining the sustainability of rainforest ecosystem.
C.Consuming fruits from rainforest trees to protect other plants.
D.Removing the disease spreading through trees due to crowdedness.
35.What is the main task of the researchers currently
A.The prevention of species loss.
B.The conservation of the Amazon.
C.The inclusion of the found species.
D.The protection of piranhas and pacus.

studying,reading,and practicing.Your skills and life experiences will save you time in the long run.

Final exams were approaching,and everyone in school was excited about vacations.We were dreaming of far-off destinations,our minds filled with images of thrilling adventures.
After school on Friday,on my way home,I ran into my best friend.Enthusiastic about the vacations,I asked him about his plans.His eyes twinkled brightly as he replied,"I’m going to visit my grandparents with my parents for a week."
"Don't you ever get tired of going to the same place year after year I remember,every year,your family takes 7 to 10 days off to head back to your native village,"I asked,raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Oh,not at all!That's the absolute best time of the year for me!Being with my folks in the village is just amazing."His face beamed with joy as he continued,"In the village,I get to meet so many wonderful people,and everyone there is so kind and welcoming.Our neighborhood crew is tight!We're always hanging out together,you know Just running wild,chilling by the lake,or bouncing between each other's houses.Honestly,I know what really matters about these village trips.It's not the cool places we see—it's spending time with the people I love.That's the real treasure of life.”
His words made me recall my own grandparents.I realized I hadn't seen them for years.But still,it's a pleasure to be there……we had big long gardens and a big multi-story house.
The next day,over breakfast,I mustered up the courage and asked my parents,"Can we visit grandparents this summer after exams ”Dad replied hesitantly,"Oh,that's unexpected."Mom was surprised."Well,you know it gets really hot there this time of year."After a short pause,Dad gave a small sigh and met my hopeful gaze."However,"he said,"if you perform well in exams,we'll make the trip."
For the next six weeks,I threw myself completely into my studies.My mom was amazed by this sudden transformation in me.Soon came the long-awaited exam results.

Dear Alex,
I'm excited to hear about your plan for an outdoor hiking adventure this Saturday!I highly recommend the Green Mountain Trail.It offers stunning views and a moderate difficulty level,making it perfect for a day trip. The trail is well-maintained,and there are several scenic spots where you can take a break and enjoy the natural beauty.
For safety,always check the weather forecast before you set out.Make sure to bring enough water and snacks to keep your energy levels up.It's also a good idea to let someone know your hiking route and expected return time, just in case.Wear comfortable,sturdy shoes and consider bringing a small first-aid kit.If possible,bring a map and a compass,even if you have a GPS device.And don't forget your camera to capture the beautiful moments!
Have a great hike and enjoy the adventure!
Yours,

第二节读后续写
I rushed home and immediately handed my parents my score card and a note with "PLEASE."This time,they instantly agreed.The next day,we set out for our hometown.Every one,be it relatives or neighbors, greeted us with smiles,treating me like their own son.Every day brought new happiness—digging with Grandpa in the garden,playing games with cousins until sunset,roaming around familiar streets with loved ones and even joining the local kids in their football matches.The days passed as we had a wonderful time together.Truth be told, everything was more fun in a big family.When departure day came,my heart ached.
I saw my mom had tears in her eyes when leaving them. She wiped them away and smiled,saying,“I didn't realize how much I missed the village until now.It's not just a place;it's where our roots are.”As we drove away,I felt a mix of excitement and nostalgia.I realized that the real adventure wasn't about exploring far-off places but about reconnecting with family and our heritage.This trip wasn't just for me;it was a reminder for all of
9
us that family is the true treasure of life.From then on,visiting Grandma and Grandpa became our annual tradition, a time to cherish love,laughter,and the simple joys of being together.
