(Text 2)
M：My secretary made a reservation for me on the 14th of January.
W：For how many nights
M：Six.But if my wife comes，I'll stay for two more nights.②
(Text 3)
W：Hello，sir. I need to see your passports，please.What is your purpose of entering the country？③
M：I'm just driving the family to see their aunt, who lives in Seattle. We'll be coming back on Sunday night.
(Text 4)
W：Paul, it's my 17th birthday next week.
M：Really？Great.What day is it on
W：It's on Saturday.④ Can you come to my birthday party
M：Yes，of course.I won't miss it!
(Text 5)
W：Thanks for all you've done for me. Hey，listen, would you like to go to see a film sometime？⑤
M：Yeah，that'd be great！I'd love it.
(Text 6)
W：You haven't forgotten Sylvia's party tonight，have you
M：Of course not.There is plenty of time.
W：No，there isn't.The invitation says drinks are at 7：00, and it's 6：30 now.
M：Relax.I have told Sylvia we won't be there for drinks. Dinner won't start before 8：30 and we only need to arrive half an hour before that，so there is no hurry.⑥
W：I know，but we have to pick up our children from your parents' house on the way.⑦
M：Yeah，even so，there is no need to start right away.
(Text 7)
M：Brenda，could you search the web to see if there are still some seats left for the 9 o'clock movie this evening
W：Don't worry. I've already called to book two tickets for the movie.⑧ I'm thinking of picking them up from the ticket office on the way to the restaurant.What do you think
M：OK.Well, Megan wants to meet us half an hour earlier than scheduled.That means we should be at the restaurant at 6：30.⑨
W：Then we don't have enough time.We'd better get moving. Oh, on the way back home from the movie theater，can you remind me to stop by the supermarket I have to buy some cheese there.⑩ I want to make a cake tomorrow.
(Text 8)
M：For the town of Springfield, the most important new project is to build more parks and redesign the sports center.
W：We've added a lot of new public spaces and will continue to build more in the future. Also, I agree that we need to fix our sports facilities， but I'd also like to recommend that we decrease taxes.
M：We need tax money to build a better future for us so that the large groups of people can move into our town.
W：The number of residents here is decreasing！I think we should all reach an agreement to make a priority instead of giving that power to local politicians.
M：I'd also like us to have a vote instead. On the list of issues, I'd like to create better parking near the mall.
W：I know that you live next to the shopping center. This is a good idea. I think increasing our police force should be our most important issue.
M：Safety is important，but improving the schools should be the first plan.
W：I disagree, but we should all vote on this. Secondly，we should continue stopping big companies from moving to the town.
M：We should promote small businesses instead.This creates more job opportunities.
W：Yes，and I also believe that in the future our small businesses will provide local workers with better and higher-paid jobs in Springfield.
(Text 9)
W：There is some smoke.I wonder where it is coming from.There aren't any factories over there, are there
M：No.Maybe someone is having a barbecue.
W：It must be the world's biggest barbecue.That smoke is a hundred feet high.
M：Listen，sirens.There is your answer.There is always trouble for someone.
W：It looks like it is coming from those new houses across the park.Just imagine moving into a new house and then it burns down.
M：It may not be that.Maybe it's just a garden fire that has got out of control.
W: Oh look，here is someone who will know all about it. If there is any news to be told, Liz will have it.
M：Now don't be unkind. She's a valuable source of neighbourhood information.
W：Yes，who needs radio or newspapers when Liz is around
M：She does tend to overstate.I think the newspapers are definitely more accurate than her.
W：But she's the kindest person I know.
M：I know.She loves looking after our children.Anyone who can tolerate them deserves a medal.
W：Hey，look.The smoke has gone.That was quick.What would you say—20 minutes or half an hour
M：Those firefighters don't mess about. It was 3：00 pm when the smoke appeared and it's only 3：40 pm now.
(Text 10)
M：I have a goal a lot of people may relate to. I mean who doesn't want to be in better shape, right？I don't want to lose weight，and I'm happy with my current weight，but I do want to get into shape. Some friends suggested joining a gym.I didn't want to do that. It can be expensive and it's hard to find the time sometimes. So I just started jogging with my friends.It's easy，fun，and it helps a lot to run with another person.That can be very motivating. I'm already starting to feel the results.

Dubai, make your day!
Thanks to global connections, Dubai has become an ideal destination for refreshing yourself.Here's how to plan a one-day trip with wow factors.
Have a sky-high supper
Combine dining with the views from Burj Khalifa (哈利法) by booking a table at At.Mosphere on the 122nd floor.The observation area is just above this restaurant, where you'll enjoy the incredible views with fewer crowds.And with cuisine described as “top drawer”， it is sure to be lunch, afternoon tea or dinner you'll never forget.
Swim above the city
Have a refreshing swim at Aura Skypool, which offers 360-degree views from 50 floors up.From here, the Palm (棕榈岛) and the sea sparkles become clear to see.In addition to its daytime sessions, it hosts sunrise swims and early morning yoga, as well as night bookings until 11 p.m.
Enjoy the beach
Steal sunshine on the white sands of Kite Beach, with its views of another symbol of Dubai's skyline: the sail-shaped Burj AI Arab (阿拉伯塔酒店).The beach is free to visit in the day time.Alternatively, Kitesurf School Dubai offers a variety of sea sports in the afternoon.
Photograph that skyline

My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life.Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget.
My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school.But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us.Emily and I became distant.I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together.Our differing goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things.
One day, things reached a boiling point.We had a huge fight over a group project.Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair.We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch.Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move.The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit.
It wasn't until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other.At first, we worked in tense silence.But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt.One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence.“I miss you，” she said softly.“I miss you, too，” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat.“I'm sorry for being so hard on you.I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I'm sorry too，” Emily replied.“I should have been more understanding.We're both stressed, but we shouldn't let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other.The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other.

A plant-based diet seems to be the best option for human health.A team led by medical doctor Angelo Capodici of the University of Bologna in Italy has found that humans eating vegetarian (素食的) diets tend to have measurably better health outcomes in several areas.
This does not mean that you should immediately excise meat from your diet, since the diet needs of individuals can vary significantly.What it does suggest is that making dietary changes might be a much more powerful tool for improving health outcomes, if it can be done safely.
Since diet is easy to change, Capodici and his colleagues (同事) wanted to take a closer look at the impact of plant-based eating on the risk of these diseases.They studied the data collected from 48 reviews between January 2000 and June 2023, and found that vegetarian diets were associated with better health status on a number of risk factors for both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer.Overall, these plant-based diets were associated with better cholesterol (胆固醇) levels and blood sugar control, a lower risk of both cancer and heart disease compared to those of plant-and-meat eaters.
The team noted, though, that vegetarian pregnant (怀孕的) women did not show a significantly lower risk of high blood pressure.They were also careful not to draw conclusions about plant-based foods being the only cause of these health improvements.
It's also worth noting that plant-based diets can result in vitamin and mineral shortage; and, of course, many different health conditions, such as allergies (过敏) require a careful, tailored approach to food.Because of these, the researchers caution against the large-scale adoption of plant-based diets.Rather, they say more targeted and more specific research should be conducted, in order to narrow down why these diets are positively correlated with better health.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个研究团队发现，素食者在一些健康指标上表现更好。但应开展更有针对性的研究，以确定素食与健康之间的具体关联。
28.What is the finding of the new research
A.Vegetarians are likely to have a healthier body.
B.Individual dietary needs do not affect health outcomes.
C.Humans should eat more vegetables to enjoy a longer life.
D.Plant-based diets have become more popular in recent years.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A team... have measurably better health outcomes in several areas.”可知，新的研究发现素食者可能拥有更健康的身体。
√
29.What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Remove. B.Obtain.
C.Distinguish. D.Steal.
解析：词义猜测题。根据语境可知，画线词所在句中的指示代词This指代的是第一段中的研究结论“素食者可能拥有更健康的身体”。由此可推知，“immediately excise meat from your diet”指“立即从饮食中去除肉类”，画线词excise与remove同义，意为“去除”。
√
30.How did the team conduct the research
A.By giving reasons.
B.By analysing data.
C.By listing examples.
D.By making comparisons.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They studied the data collected from 48 reviews between January 2000 and June 2023”可知，该团队是通过分析数据来进行研究的。
√
31.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Plant-based diets are an invitation to allergies among people.
B.Plant-based diets can make up for vitamin and mineral shortage.
C.Further researches should be focused on how to improve health.
D.Individual health needs should be considered before diet changes.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Because of these...these diets are positively correlated with better health.”可推知，在改变饮食之前应该进行更有针对性和更具体的研究，考虑个人的健康需求。

Some people prefer paperbacks because they're easy to borrow and share.Others will go for e-readers.But which is the more environmentally sustainable option
Whether it's better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.
On the one side, traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint.According to 2023 data, 32 million trees are cut down each year to make paper for books. Then there's the energy-intensive processes of printing and shipping—to say nothing of the many books that are destroyed because they remain unsold.Although it's standard practice in the industry, publishers don't want to destroy books.So instead, many are donating unsold copies, switching to on-demand printing.Publishers are also rethinking book design, since certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.
On the other hand, digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and shipping.Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers offer recycling programs for old devices.But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, especially at the manufacturing stage.Their cases are made with plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining.
Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read.“If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it's the lowest carbon thing to do，” said Mike Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything.“But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it's the worst of all worlds.”
Yet Berners-Lee said that reading is still, relatively speaking, a pretty sustainable activity—regardless of whether you read using an e-reader, phone or old-fashioned paperback.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过比较纸质书和电子书对环境的影响，介绍了它们各自的优缺点以及相关行业和个人在减少环境影响方面所采取的措施。
32.Why is it hard to tell if print or digital books are more eco-friendly
A.The whole processes for both involve many resources.
B.The option depends on the reader's personal preferences.
C.Recycling programs are not equally effective for both types.
D.The environmental impact of reading habits is often overlooked.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，打印书籍和数字书籍的生产、运输及回收都涉及许多资源，因此确定哪种更环保较为困难。
√
33.What are book publishers doing to reduce the environmental impact
A.Cutting down fewer trees.
B.Destroying the unsold books.
C.Employing eco-friendly practices.
D.Focusing on the sales of digital books.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So instead, many are...more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.”可知，出版商正在采取环保实践，包括捐出旧书、采用更环保的设计以及转向按需印刷等方法来降低环境影响。
√
34.According to Berners-Lee, an e-reader is more sustainable than paperbacks when ______.
A.an e-reader is shared by many people
B.people charge it using renewable energy
C.an e-reader is recycled after being used
D.people read a high volume of books digitally
√
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Figuring out...it's the lowest carbon thing to do”可知，伯纳斯—李认为当你在电子阅读器上阅读大量书籍时，它就是更可持续的选择。
35.Which is the most suitable title for the passage
A.Print Books Vs.E-readers: Which Is Your Favourite
B.Paper Books Vs.E-readers: Which Is Better for the Environment
C.Choose Digital Reading, for It Reduces More Carbon Footprint
D.Keep the Balance of Convenience and Sustainability in Reading
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段可知，文章主要比较纸质书与电子书对环境的影响。故B项最适合作文章标题。
√

阅读下面的材料，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。
I remember wondering if we should even be friends when I found out that my new friend Karina did not share my opinions about some stuff.It was hard to imagine disagreeing with her about anything, because when we first met, we got along so great.
It was as if we'd known each other forever.Whenever we got to pick a partner at camp, we picked each other.Whenever we had a break, we hung out together.And the more time we spent together, the more we realized how amazingly alike we were.We both had two lovely cats.We both liked baking extra-creative cookies.
But then something happened.The tent camp was next to a piece of beautiful land that had a bunch of giant old trees on it.Whenever it was nice out, we'd get to eat our lunch at picnic tables that were right by some of those trees.“Whoa！” said Karina one day.“Look at the millions of holes all the way up and down this trunk.”
“That's amazing，” I said.“A special kind of woodpecker (啄木鸟)makes those holes to store acorns (橡子).”
“Pretty cool！” said our counselor, Miguel.“Now, let's all be sure to keep this magical forest as clean and perfect.Don't forget to put your trash and recyclables in the bins.”
And that's when things got complicated.“Hey，” said our friend LeVar.“Have you guys heard that shopping-mall rumor (传闻) They want to cut down a bunch of those trees to make room for a shopping center.”
“That's terrible！” I said.“We have to stop that.”
“I disagree，” said Karina.“My parents said the shopping center would make new jobs for people.”
“But think of all the birds and squirrels that would lose their homes！” I said.“I want people to have jobs, but not if it means cutting down trees.”
“Don't you think people's jobs are more important than trees？” Karina asked.
“Can't we figure out how to make jobs without destroying nature？” I answered.
“You know，” Karina said, super seriously, “maybe we're not quite as alike as we thought.”
I sighed sadly.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Maybe two people with opposite points of view just aren't meant to be friends, I was thinking. ______________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We ended up having much more fun at the tent camp._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
Maybe two people with opposite points of view just aren't meant to be friends, I was thinking.That evening, as we sat around the campfire, the atmosphere felt heavy with unspoken words.Suddenly, Karina thought of an idea, “What if we organized a community event to raise awareness about the importance of those trees and also brainstormed ideas for creating jobs without harming nature？” I couldn't help but smile at her suggestion.“That's a fantastic idea, Karina! Let's do it together.Our friendship is strong enough to handle differences，” I replied, relief and excitement washing over me.
We ended up having much more fun at the tent camp.Our efforts not only strengthened our friendship but also brought our camp community together in a shared cause.We realized that friendships aren't about agreeing on everything.They're about respecting each other's perspectives, learning from differences, and finding common goals.The forest remained untouched, and our bond blossomed into something even deeper and more meaningful.In the end, it wasn't about proving who was right.It was about growing together, as individuals and as friends.

M：Relax.I have told Sylvia we won't be there for drinks. Dinner won't start before 8：30 and we only need to arrive half an hour before that，so there is no hurry.⑥
W：I know，but we have to pick up our children from your parents' house on the way.⑦

M：For the town of Springfield, the most important new project is to build more parks and redesign the sports center.
W：We've added a lot of new public spaces and will continue to build more in the future. Also, I agree that we need to fix our sports facilities， but I'd also like to recommend that we decrease taxes.
M：We need tax money to build a better future for us so that the large groups of people can move into our town.
W：The number of residents here is decreasing！I think we should all reach an agreement to make a priority instead of giving that power to local politicians.
M：I'd also like us to have a vote instead. On the list of issues, I'd like to create better parking near the mall.
W：I know that you live next to the shopping center. This is a good idea. I think increasing our police force should be our most important issue.
M：Safety is important，but improving the schools should be the first plan.
W：I disagree, but we should all vote on this. Secondly，we should continue stopping big companies from moving to the town.
M：We should promote small businesses instead.This creates more job opportunities.
W：Yes，and I also believe that in the future our small businesses will provide local workers with better and higher-paid jobs in Springfield.

M：Listen，sirens.There is your answer.There is always trouble for someone.
W：It looks like it is coming from those new houses across the park.Just imagine moving into a new house and then it burns down.
M：It may not be that.Maybe it's just a garden fire that has got out of control.
W: Oh look，here is someone who will know all about it. If there is any news to be told, Liz will have it.
M：Now don't be unkind. She's a valuable source of neighbourhood information.
W：Yes，who needs radio or newspapers when Liz is around
M：She does tend to overstate.I think the newspapers are definitely more accurate than her.
W：But she's the kindest person I know.
M：I know.She loves looking after our children.Anyone who can tolerate them deserves a medal.
W：Hey，look.The smoke has gone.That was quick.What would you say—20 minutes or half an hour
M：Those firefighters don't mess about. It was 3：00 pm when the smoke appeared and it's only 3：40 pm now.
(Text 10)
M：I have a goal a lot of people may relate to. I mean who doesn't want to be in better shape, right？I don't want to lose weight，and I'm happy with my current weight，but I do want to get into shape. Some friends suggested joining a gym.I didn't want to do that. It can be expensive and it's hard to find the time sometimes. So I just started jogging with my friends.It's easy，fun，and it helps a lot to run with another person.That can be very motivating. I'm already starting to feel the results.

Dubai, make your day!
Thanks to global connections, Dubai has become an ideal destination for refreshing yourself.Here's how to plan a one-day trip with wow factors.
Have a sky-high supper
Combine dining with the views from Burj Khalifa (哈利法) by booking a table at At.Mosphere on the 122nd floor.The observation area is just above this restaurant, where you'll enjoy the incredible views with fewer crowds.And with cuisine described as “top drawer”， it is sure to be lunch, afternoon tea or dinner you'll never forget.
Swim above the city
Have a refreshing swim at Aura Skypool, which offers 360-degree views from 50 floors up.From here, the Palm (棕榈岛) and the sea sparkles become clear to see.In addition to its daytime sessions, it hosts sunrise swims and early morning yoga, as well as night bookings until 11 p.m.
Enjoy the beach
Steal sunshine on the white sands of Kite Beach, with its views of another symbol of Dubai's skyline: the sail-shaped Burj AI Arab (阿拉伯塔酒店).The beach is free to visit in the day time.Alternatively, Kitesurf School Dubai offers a variety of sea sports in the afternoon.
Photograph that skyline
Aperture Photos Tours arrange for a local photographer to guide you to capture breathtaking views from the “Vertical Forest” being built in Downtown to Dubai Marina (迪拜码头).The tours are private and available in the afternoon; all you need is a camera and a head for heights.

My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life.Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget.
My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school.But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us.Emily and I became distant.I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together.Our differing goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things.
One day, things reached a boiling point.We had a huge fight over a group project.Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair.We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch.Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move.The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit.
It wasn't until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other.At first, we worked in tense silence.But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt.One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence.“I miss you，” she said softly.“I miss you, too，” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat.“I'm sorry for being so hard on you.I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I'm sorry too，” Emily replied.“I should have been more understanding.We're both stressed, but we shouldn't let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other.The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other.

A plant-based diet seems to be the best option for human health.A team led by medical doctor Angelo Capodici of the University of Bologna in Italy has found that humans eating vegetarian (素食的) diets tend to have measurably better health outcomes in several areas.
This does not mean that you should immediately excise meat from your diet, since the diet needs of individuals can vary significantly.What it does suggest is that making dietary changes might be a much more powerful tool for improving health outcomes, if it can be done safely.
Since diet is easy to change, Capodici and his colleagues (同事) wanted to take a closer look at the impact of plant-based eating on the risk of these diseases.They studied the data collected from 48 reviews between January 2000 and June 2023, and found that vegetarian diets were associated with better health status on a number of risk factors for both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer.Overall, these plant-based diets were associated with better cholesterol (胆固醇) levels and blood sugar control, a lower risk of both cancer and heart disease compared to those of plant-and-meat eaters.
The team noted, though, that vegetarian pregnant (怀孕的) women did not show a significantly lower risk of high blood pressure.They were also careful not to draw conclusions about plant-based foods being the only cause of these health improvements.
It's also worth noting that plant-based diets can result in vitamin and mineral shortage; and, of course, many different health conditions, such as allergies (过敏) require a careful, tailored approach to food.Because of these, the researchers caution against the large-scale adoption of plant-based diets.Rather, they say more targeted and more specific research should be conducted, in order to narrow down why these diets are positively correlated with better health.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个研究团队发现，素食者在一些健康指标上表现更好。但应开展更有针对性的研究，以确定素食与健康之间的具体关联。
28.What is the finding of the new research
A.Vegetarians are likely to have a healthier body.
B.Individual dietary needs do not affect health outcomes.
C.Humans should eat more vegetables to enjoy a longer life.
D.Plant-based diets have become more popular in recent years.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A team... have measurably better health outcomes in several areas.”可知，新的研究发现素食者可能拥有更健康的身体。
√
29.What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Remove. B.Obtain.
C.Distinguish. D.Steal.
解析：词义猜测题。根据语境可知，画线词所在句中的指示代词This指代的是第一段中的研究结论“素食者可能拥有更健康的身体”。由此可推知，“immediately excise meat from your diet”指“立即从饮食中去除肉类”，画线词excise与remove同义，意为“去除”。
√
30.How did the team conduct the research
A.By giving reasons.
B.By analysing data.
C.By listing examples.
D.By making comparisons.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They studied the data collected from 48 reviews between January 2000 and June 2023”可知，该团队是通过分析数据来进行研究的。
√
31.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Plant-based diets are an invitation to allergies among people.
B.Plant-based diets can make up for vitamin and mineral shortage.
C.Further researches should be focused on how to improve health.
D.Individual health needs should be considered before diet changes.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Because of these...these diets are positively correlated with better health.”可推知，在改变饮食之前应该进行更有针对性和更具体的研究，考虑个人的健康需求。

Some people prefer paperbacks because they're easy to borrow and share.Others will go for e-readers.But which is the more environmentally sustainable option
Whether it's better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.
On the one side, traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint.According to 2023 data, 32 million trees are cut down each year to make paper for books. Then there's the energy-intensive processes of printing and shipping—to say nothing of the many books that are destroyed because they remain unsold.Although it's standard practice in the industry, publishers don't want to destroy books.So instead, many are donating unsold copies, switching to on-demand printing.Publishers are also rethinking book design, since certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.
On the other hand, digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and shipping.Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers offer recycling programs for old devices.But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, especially at the manufacturing stage.Their cases are made with plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining.
Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read.“If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it's the lowest carbon thing to do，” said Mike Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything.“But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it's the worst of all worlds.”
Yet Berners-Lee said that reading is still, relatively speaking, a pretty sustainable activity—regardless of whether you read using an e-reader, phone or old-fashioned paperback.

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面的材料，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。
I remember wondering if we should even be friends when I found out that my new friend Karina did not share my opinions about some stuff.It was hard to imagine disagreeing with her about anything, because when we first met, we got along so great.
It was as if we'd known each other forever.Whenever we got to pick a partner at camp, we picked each other.Whenever we had a break, we hung out together.And the more time we spent together, the more we realized how amazingly alike we were.We both had two lovely cats.We both liked baking extra-creative cookies.
But then something happened.The tent camp was next to a piece of beautiful land that had a bunch of giant old trees on it.Whenever it was nice out, we'd get to eat our lunch at picnic tables that were right by some of those trees.“Whoa！” said Karina one day.“Look at the millions of holes all the way up and down this trunk.”
“That's amazing，” I said.“A special kind of woodpecker (啄木鸟)makes those holes to store acorns (橡子).”
“Pretty cool！” said our counselor, Miguel.“Now, let's all be sure to keep this magical forest as clean and perfect.Don't forget to put your trash and recyclables in the bins.”
And that's when things got complicated.“Hey，” said our friend LeVar.“Have you guys heard that shopping-mall rumor (传闻) They want to cut down a bunch of those trees to make room for a shopping center.”
“That's terrible！” I said.“We have to stop that.”
“I disagree，” said Karina.“My parents said the shopping center would make new jobs for people.”
“But think of all the birds and squirrels that would lose their homes！” I said.“I want people to have jobs, but not if it means cutting down trees.”
“Don't you think people's jobs are more important than trees？” Karina asked.
“Can't we figure out how to make jobs without destroying nature？” I answered.
“You know，” Karina said, super seriously, “maybe we're not quite as alike as we thought.”
I sighed sadly.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Maybe two people with opposite points of view just aren't meant to be friends, I was thinking. ______________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We ended up having much more fun at the tent camp._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
Maybe two people with opposite points of view just aren't meant to be friends, I was thinking.That evening, as we sat around the campfire, the atmosphere felt heavy with unspoken words.Suddenly, Karina thought of an idea, “What if we organized a community event to raise awareness about the importance of those trees and also brainstormed ideas for creating jobs without harming nature？” I couldn't help but smile at her suggestion.“That's a fantastic idea, Karina! Let's do it together.Our friendship is strong enough to handle differences，” I replied, relief and excitement washing over me.
We ended up having much more fun at the tent camp.Our efforts not only strengthened our friendship but also brought our camp community together in a shared cause.We realized that friendships aren't about agreeing on everything.They're about respecting each other's perspectives, learning from differences, and finding common goals.The forest remained untouched, and our bond blossomed into something even deeper and more meaningful.In the end, it wasn't about proving who was right.It was about growing together, as individuals and as friends.
