B
After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start. With no computer repair places open my daughter talked me into purchasing a new laptop to replace it. What followed was two days of pure frustration. It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying the Space Shuttle.
After my daughter set it up, I looked for the old e-mail program I used to use, only to find that it wasn’t on this model. When I tried to download the older version again it wouldn’t work. I also had a terrible time downloading my old word processing program again. Then there were some difficulties of transferring all of my old stories that I had saved on a jump drive. The laptop computer’s fancy new programs were an icon minefield that I had to navigate. Each time I accidentally touched one of them it changed everything on my screen and I had to work hard to figure out how to change them back. In the end I had screwed up the settings so badly that I asked my daughter to do a reset so we could start over. Finally after two days I think we have set up the new computer to do the few simple things I need it to do so I can ignore the thousand other functions that I have no use for. I only hope it will work as long and faithfully as my old desktop did.
One thing I did learn from all of this is that when it comes to computers and life I want to keep things simple, simple, simple. Life is simple. Love is simple. It is we who make things complicated. Take some time today then to turn off your electronics and turn on your heart. Be a person, not a program. Be yourself, not your “Selfie”. Fill your days with purpose, your years with happiness, and your life with love.
4．What was the author’s old computer’s problem
A．It was slow to function. B．It crashed completely.
C．It was out of date. D．It kept restarting.
5．What made the author frustrated in the following two days
A．She couldn’t forget her old computer.
B．She regretted not repairing her old computer.
C．She didn’t buy a more advanced computer.
D．She had difficulty using the new computer.
6．How did the author probably consider the new computer’s thousand other functions
A．Useful. B．Unnecessary.
C．Disappointing. D．Challenging.
7．What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A．To explain her requirements for computers.
B．To stress the importance of technology.
C．To show the development of electronics.
D．To express her attitude to life.
【答案】4．B 5．D 6．B 7．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，通过叙述作者更换电脑的经历，探讨了现代科技与生活的复杂性问题，强调了简单生活的价值。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start.(经过十多年的忠实服务，我的旧台式电脑终于坏了。它根本启动不了)”可知，作者的旧电脑启动不了了，即它停止运转了。故选B。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying the Space Shuttle.(这就像从开一辆老福特T型车变成驾驶航天飞机一样)”以及第二段中的“only to find that it wasn’t on this model(却发现它不在这款机型上)”、“it wouldn’t work(它无法工作)”、“had a terrible time downloading(下载时也遇到了麻烦)”、“Then there were some difficulties of transferring(然后转移时遇到了一些困难)”和“I had screwed up the settings so badly(我把设置搞砸了)”可知，从旧电脑换用到新电脑的作者就像从开一辆老爷车变成开宇宙飞船，她在操作中遇到很多麻烦，最终把设置弄得一团糟。由此可知，在购买新电脑后的头两天里让作者感到沮丧的是她使用新电脑有困难。故选D。
6．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Finally after two days I think we have set up the new computer to do the few simple things I need it to do so I can ignore the thousand other functions that I have no use for.(最后，两天后，我想我们已经把新电脑设置好了，我需要它做一些简单的事情，这样我就可以忽略其他几千个我没用的功能了)”可知，作者只需要使用电脑做几件简单的事情，她忽略掉了其它她不需要的功能，所以她认为这些功能是多余的、不必要的。故选B。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Be a person, not a program.(做一个人，而不是一个程序)”和“Fill your days with purpose, your years with happiness, and your life with love.(让你的每一天都充满目标，让你的每一年都充满快乐，让你的生活充满爱)”可知，作者写最后一段的目的是表达她对人生的态度，她从自己更换电脑的经历中感悟到简单生活的价值，她认为人们应该保持生活的简单与美好。故选D。
C
A few years ago, we celebrated Frankenstein’s 200th birthday. This famous book, written by British novelist Mary Shelley (1797—1851), is rightly known as the first work of science fiction. Frankenstein is the name of a doctor who creates a creature from human body parts. The doctor’s ambitions for his work are noble, but his experiment has disastrous results.
Shelley was writing in an age when science was beginning to have a great impact on the world. People had different attitudes toward science back then. Some found it inspiring- they thought of the progress medicine was making in curing common illnesses. But others found it a little frightening—it was changing the, making it a lot less familiar.
Science plays a bigger part in our lives than it did two centuries ago. Today, science has brought us great things like the internet, but also nuclear weapons, which, if used in large numbers, could kill off our species. Science still therefore creates the mixed feelings it did in Shelley’s day. It’s because Shelley saw both the promise and the danger of science that she’s still an influence today.
In fact, the subtitle of the book, The Modern Prometheus (普罗米修斯), shows how important myth (神话) was to the writer. Prometheus, a figure from classical Greek mythology, written by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, steals fire from the gods and gives it to people, an act for which he is terribly punished. Shelley’s husband, the famous poet Percy Shelley, wrote about him in Prometheus Unbound. In the poem, he is a revolutionary hero, who triumphs over the gods. In Mary Shelley’s book, however, her modern Prometheus. Dr Frankenstein, is a highly controversial figure, who sacrifices his home and life for his crazy addiction to his creation.
In short, Mary Shelley’s book is not just a scary and moving story, but a philosophical tale that, even after 200 years, still speaks to modern readers.
8．What can we know about Dr Frankenstein and the creature he made
A．He created it with animal parts.
B．He managed to kill it in the end.
C．He created it with good intentions.
D．He was aware of its dangers before its creation.
9．Why do today’s readers still relate to Mary Shelley
A．Her work discusses what it means to be human.
B．Her work warns people of the two sides of science.
C．Her work explains that any life deserves our respect.
D．Her work proves the important role of science in life.
10．Compared with Prometheus in Greek mythology, Dr Frankenstein _______.
A．is a revolutionary hero B．has inspired many poets
C．causes some disagreement D．suffers little for what he does
11．What is the text
A．A book review. B．A news report.
C．A short story. D．A biography.
【答案】8．C 9．B 10．C 11．A
【导语】本文是一篇书评。介绍了作家Mary Shelley的经典小说Frankenstein的写作背景，创作意图，文化内涵，重点挖掘其对现代社会的启示。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段“Frankenstein is the name of a doctor who creates a creature from human body parts. The doctor’s ambitions for his work are noble, but his experiment has disastrous results.(弗兰肯斯坦是一个医生的名字，他从人体部位创造了一个生物。这位医生对他的工作有崇高的抱负，但他的实验却产生了灾难性的结果。)”可知，Dr Frankenstein创造那个生物的初衷是好的。故选C。
9．推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s because Shelley saw both the promise and the danger of science that she’s still an influence today.(正是因为雪莱看到了科学的希望和危险，她今天仍然有影响力。)”可知，今天的读者仍然对Mary Shelley感兴趣是因为她的作品提醒人们注意科学的两面性。故选B。
10．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Prometheus, a figure from classical Greek mythology, written by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, steals fire from the gods and gives it to people, an act for which he is terribly punished.(Prometheus是古希腊剧作家Sophocles创作的古典希腊神话中的一个人物，他从众神那里偷火给人，因此受到了严厉的惩罚。)”和“Dr Frankenstein, is a highly controversial figure, who sacrifices his home and life for his crazy addiction to his creation.(Dr Frankenstein是一个极具争议的人物，他为了疯狂沉迷于自己的发明而牺牲了自己的家庭和生活。)”可知，与希腊神话中的Prometheus相比，Dr Frankenstein引起了一些争论，故选C。
11．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“This famous book, written by British novelist Mary Shelley (1797—1851), is rightly known as the first work of science fiction. Frankenstein is the name of a doctor who creates a creature from human body parts. The doctor’s ambitions for his work are noble, but his experiment has disastrous results.(这部由英国小说家Mary Shelley(1797-1851)所著的名著，被公认为是科幻小说的第一部。弗兰肯斯坦是一位医生的名字，他用人类的身体部位创造出一种生物。这位医生对他的工作有崇高的抱负，但他的实验却产生了灾难性的结果。)”可知，这是一篇书评，介绍了作家Mary Shelley的经典小说Frankenstein的写作背景，创作意图，文化内涵，重点挖掘其对现代社会的启示。故选A。

Researchers in Australia have identified enzymes (酶) in the body of certain beetle larvae (甲虫幼虫) that can degrade or break down plastic. In a study published in Microbial Genomics, they write that these “superworms” could help reduce plastic waste in the future.
“Superworms are like mini recycling plants, cutting up the polysyrene (聚苯乙烯) with their mouths and then feeding it to the bacteria in their stomach,” said Chris Rinke from the University of Queensland in Australia. “The breakdown products from this reaction can then be used by other microbes to create high-value chemicals.”
In the study, scientists divided beetle larvae into three groups, feeding one group wheat bran, one polystyrene and one nothing. Over three weeks, they monitored their growth. “We found that superworms fed a diet of just polystyrene not only survived, but even had marginal weight gains,” said Rinke. “This suggests the worms can get energy from the polystyrene, most likely with the help of their stomach bacteria.”
On the other hand, the plastic-fed worms gained much less weight and were overall much less healthy than the bran-fed ones, though better off than the starvation group. After three weeks, some larvae were also set aside to grow into beetles, according to the study. About 93% of the bran-fed larvae formed adult worms, while about 67% of the plastic-fed larvae and 10% of the starved larvae formed adult worms.
The researchers investigated the superworm’s stomach bacteria to find the specific enzymes linked to plastic degradation, writes Fionna M. D．Samuels for Scientific American. The enzyme that degrades the polystyrene appears to live with the stomach bacteria, not the worm itself.
Polystyrene is one of the most common plastics used today. But it’s not very chemically reactive, and breaking it down with industrial recycling methods takes high heat. So, researchers have been looking for plastic-degrading enzymes and bacteria for years.
Further research will still need to be done to figure out how to employ these worms, bacteria and enzymes in recycling facilities.
12．What does Chris Rinke compare superworms to
A．Small plants. B．Beetle larvae. C．Stomach bacteria. D．High-value chemicals.
13．What does the underlined word “marginal” mean in Paragraph 3
A．Few. B．Tiny. C．Obvious. D．Normal.
14．What is the sixth paragraph intended to show
A．The damage of plastic to life.
B．Possible causes of plastic pollution.
C．Researchers’ efforts over the years to recycle plastic.
D．The necessity of finding out a way to degrade plastic.
15．What is the purpose of the text
A．To report a new way to recycle plastic. B．To call on people to reduce plastic waste.
C．To explain how larvae can degrade plastic. D．To introduce the findings of a new research.
【答案】12．A 13．B 14．D 15．D
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了澳大利亚研究人员发现的一种能够降解塑料的甲虫幼虫体内的酶，并详细描述了这些“超级蠕虫”如何帮助减少塑料废物。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段““Superworms are like mini recycling plants, cutting up the polysyrene (聚苯乙烯) with their mouths and then feeding it to the bacteria in their stomach,” said Chris Rinke from the University of Queensland in Australia.(澳大利亚昆士兰大学的克里斯·林克说：“超级蠕虫就像小型回收工厂，用嘴把聚苯乙烯切碎，然后把它喂给胃里的细菌。”)”可知，克里斯·林克把超级蠕虫比作小型回收工厂。故选A项。
13．词句猜测题。根据后文“This suggests the worms can get energy from the polystyrene, most likely with the help of their stomach bacteria.(这表明蠕虫可以从聚苯乙烯中获取能量，很可能是在它们胃部细菌的帮助下)”以及第四段“On the other hand, the plastic-fed worms gained much less weight and were overall much less healthy than the bran-fed ones, though better off than the starvation group.(另一方面，塑料喂养的蠕虫体重增加得更少，总体上也比麸皮喂养的蠕虫健康得多，尽管比饥饿组要好)”可知，塑料喂养的蠕虫体重增加得更少，所以前文应是吃聚苯乙烯的超级蠕虫也是体重增加，但是不大，所以才说更少，推知marginal意为“极小的”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。
14．推理判断题。根据第六段“Polystyrene is one of the most common plastics used today. But it’s not very chemically reactive, and breaking it down with industrial recycling methods takes high heat. So, researchers have been looking for plastic-degrading enzymes and bacteria for years.(聚苯乙烯是当今最常用的塑料之一。但它的化学反应性不强，用工业回收方法分解它需要很高的热量。因此，研究人员多年来一直在寻找塑料降解酶和细菌)”可知，本文主要讲述了聚苯乙烯的工业回收方法成本很高，所以研究人员多年来一直在寻找塑料降解酶和细菌，所以本段主要讲述找到一种方法来降解塑料的必要性。故选D项。
15．推理判断题。根据第一段“Researchers in Australia have identified enzymes (酶) in the body of certain beetle larvae (甲虫幼虫) that can degrade or break down plastic. In a study published in Microbial Genomics, they write that these “superworms” could help reduce plastic waste in the future.(澳大利亚的研究人员已经在某些甲虫幼虫体内发现了可以降解或分解塑料的酶。在发表在《微生物基因组学》上的一项研究中，他们写道，这些“超级蠕虫”未来可以帮助减少塑料垃圾)”以及纵观前文可知，本文主要澳大利亚研究人员发现的一种能够降解塑料的甲虫幼虫体内的酶，所以本文的目的是介绍一项新研究的发现。故选D项。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Many people treat “life” as something that happens to them. They think they are the victims. 16 However, there are those who are clear on their goals. When something goes wrong, they are the first to admit where they went wrong. So how can you live a life by design instead of by default (默认)
Set goals and actually achieve them
17 “New Year’s Resolutions” are the worst (or best) example of this. It’s easy to set goals, but very few people follow through with them to the end. People who live by design practice the habit of setting goals and actually achieving them. This constant practice is what allows them to set bigger and bigger goals and see them through to completion.
Surround yourself with people you want to be like
Choose your friends carefully. As they say, “ 18 ” Make sure that the individuals who occupy your life and time share your values. Ideally, these people should even be a little bit ahead of you, forcing you to stretch and continue to grow in the direction you’d like to go.
Don’t be afraid to go your own way
When you go your own way, everyone will tell you that you’re wrong at first. But when they find actually they are wrong, they will all come back around. 19 And they will ask you how you did it.
Practice discipline
In order to get to where you know you can go, you have to say “no” a hundred times more than you say the word “yes”. 20 And the only way to do so is to have a strong sense of self-awareness and discipline.
A．Everybody sets goals.
B．They create the life they want to live.
C．Some people just don’t know when to quit.
D．They will see the life you’ve built for yourself.
E．You must be faithful to yourself and your goal.
F．When things go wrong, they think it’s someone else’s fault.
G．You are a reflection of those who you spend the most time with.
【答案】16．F 17．A 18．G 19．D 20．E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种积极生活的方法。
16．根据上文“They think they are the victims.”(他们认为自己是受害者。)可知，此处进一步的解释说明自认为受害者的人的情况；F. When things go wrong, they think it’s someone else’s fault. (当事情出错时，他们认为是别人的错。)符合语境。故选F。
17．根据小标题“Set goals and actually achieve them”(设定目标并实现它们)和下文““New Year’s Resolutions” are the worst (or best) example of this. ”（“新年决心”是最坏(或最好) 的例子。)可知，此处应讲述的是目标的设定，A. Everybody sets goals. (人人设定目标) 符合语境。故选A。
18．根据下文“Make sure that the individuals who occupy your life and time share your values.”(确保那些占据你的生活和时间的人分享你的价值观。)可知，本段讲述认真挑选身边的朋友，空处表达择友的原因，G. You are a reflection of those who you spend the most time with.(近朱者赤近墨者黑) 符合语境。故选G。
19．根据下文“And they will ask you how you did it.”(他们会问你是怎么做到的。)可知，此处表达的是当他们认识到你是对的时候，他们会转而支持你的。D. They will see the life you’ve built for yourself. (他们会看到你为自己打造的生活。)符合语境。故选D。
20．根据上文“In order to get to where you know you can go, you have to say “no” a hundred times more than you say the word “yes”. ”(为了到达你知道你能到达的地方，你说“不”的次数要比说“是”的次数多一百倍。)可知，此处说的是你要坚持你的目标，E. You must be faithful to yourself and your goal. (你必须忠于你自己和你的目标。) 符合语境。故选E。

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Have you decided on your major ” my parents inquired.
“Bioengineering, of course.” I responded without the slightest hesitation.
I entered this world with Poland syndrome, a disease that prevented the formation of my right arm and pectoral muscle(s 胸肌). My parents, believing that playing with Lego could enhance my dexterity(灵巧), gifted me my first kit when I was five. Struggling to piece the components together, I crafted my first Lego work – a car. As I got older, I grew obsessed with Lego Technic, a more advanced range, and how to use it to build more delicate structures. By the age of nine, I had fashioned my first prosthetic arm(义肢)using Lego Technic – a simple box that perfectly accommodated my right arm.
This early creation sparked my drive for further exploration. Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm that I called the MK-1, which had fingers, a motor, a pressure sensor, a movable elbow joint, and a grabber capable of picking things up.
Before constructing it, I had already decided against traditional prosthetics. Not because they were ineffective, but because playing with Lego did significantly improve my dexterity, helping me adapt to my condition. However, a more frustrating reason was that prosthetics were too expensive. My parents and I had looked into getting one a few years earlier, only to be discouraged by the prohibitive price. So, I concluded that I might not need one because I was managing well without. Nevertheless, the joy of creating prosthetics with Lego remained, and I continued making them purely for the fun of it.
As the years passed, my creations evolved from MK-1 to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. It featured a control unit that could send and receive orders from sensors on the arm to the motors, with cables that contract like muscles.
One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both arms in an accident, reached out to me after learning about my creations. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Daniel,” the father earnestly asked, “we were wondering if you could possibly help build a set of prosthetics for our son.”

Paragraph 2:
I rushed to the boy’s home and secured the prosthetics onto him!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I knew it would be a challenging and demanding task, but I responded with a “yes”. The boy lifted his head with his once lifeless eyes now glittering with a spark of hope. I beamed at him with a radiant smile and without any delay, embarked on the task. The subsequent days witnessed how I carefully selected the Lego pieces that catered to the boy’s interests and intricately integrated practical components to enhance its flexibility. Days turned into weeks, and the boy-customized prosthetics finally took shape. It’s time for them to fulfill their intended purpose.
I rushed to the boy’s home and secured the prosthetics onto him. Holding breath, we anxiously awaited the result — they worked! The room erupted with cheers! The boy expressed his gratitude and sprinted to his parents to envelop them in the biggest hug he hadn’t been able to give for years. The scene was truly inspiring. Never had I imagined that my creations, born out of mere fun, would someday make such a profound difference. It is on that day that I made up my mind to commit myself to making a lasting impact in the realm of prosthetic innovation.

After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start. With no computer repair places open my daughter talked me into purchasing a new laptop to replace it. What followed was two days of pure frustration. It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying the Space Shuttle.
After my daughter set it up, I looked for the old e-mail program I used to use, only to find that it wasn’t on this model. When I tried to download the older version again it wouldn’t work. I also had a terrible time downloading my old word processing program again. Then there were some difficulties of transferring all of my old stories that I had saved on a jump drive. The laptop computer’s fancy new programs were an icon minefield that I had to navigate. Each time I accidentally touched one of them it changed everything on my screen and I had to work hard to figure out how to change them back. In the end I had screwed up the settings so badly that I asked my daughter to do a reset so we could start over. Finally after two days I think we have set up the new computer to do the few simple things I need it to do so I can ignore the thousand other functions that I have no use for. I only hope it will work as long and faithfully as my old desktop did.
One thing I did learn from all of this is that when it comes to computers and life I want to keep things simple, simple, simple. Life is simple. Love is simple. It is we who make things complicated. Take some time today then to turn off your electronics and turn on your heart. Be a person, not a program. Be yourself, not your “Selfie”. Fill your days with purpose, your years with happiness, and your life with love.
4．What was the author’s old computer’s problem
A．It was slow to function. B．It crashed completely.
C．It was out of date. D．It kept restarting.

A．To explain her requirements for computers.
B．To stress the importance of technology.

A few years ago, we celebrated Frankenstein’s 200th birthday. This famous book, written by British novelist Mary Shelley (1797—1851), is rightly known as the first work of science fiction. Frankenstein is the name of a doctor who creates a creature from human body parts. The doctor’s ambitions for his work are noble, but his experiment has disastrous results.
Shelley was writing in an age when science was beginning to have a great impact on the world. People had different attitudes toward science back then. Some found it inspiring- they thought of the progress medicine was making in curing common illnesses. But others found it a little frightening—it was changing the, making it a lot less familiar.
Science plays a bigger part in our lives than it did two centuries ago. Today, science has brought us great things like the internet, but also nuclear weapons, which, if used in large numbers, could kill off our species. Science still therefore creates the mixed feelings it did in Shelley’s day. It’s because Shelley saw both the promise and the danger of science that she’s still an influence today.
In fact, the subtitle of the book, The Modern Prometheus (普罗米修斯), shows how important myth (神话) was to the writer. Prometheus, a figure from classical Greek mythology, written by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, steals fire from the gods and gives it to people, an act for which he is terribly punished. Shelley’s husband, the famous poet Percy Shelley, wrote about him in Prometheus Unbound. In the poem, he is a revolutionary hero, who triumphs over the gods. In Mary Shelley’s book, however, her modern Prometheus. Dr Frankenstein, is a highly controversial figure, who sacrifices his home and life for his crazy addiction to his creation.
In short, Mary Shelley’s book is not just a scary and moving story, but a philosophical tale that, even after 200 years, still speaks to modern readers.
8．What can we know about Dr Frankenstein and the creature he made
A．He created it with animal parts.
B．He managed to kill it in the end.
C．He created it with good intentions.
D．He was aware of its dangers before its creation.
9．Why do today’s readers still relate to Mary Shelley
A．Her work discusses what it means to be human.
B．Her work warns people of the two sides of science.
C．Her work explains that any life deserves our respect.
D．Her work proves the important role of science in life.
10．Compared with Prometheus in Greek mythology, Dr Frankenstein _______.
A．is a revolutionary hero B．has inspired many poets
C．causes some disagreement D．suffers little for what he does
11．What is the text
A．A book review. B．A news report.
C．A short story. D．A biography.
D
Researchers in Australia have identified enzymes (酶) in the body of certain beetle larvae (甲虫幼虫) that can degrade or break down plastic. In a study published in Microbial Genomics, they write that these “superworms” could help reduce plastic waste in the future.
“Superworms are like mini recycling plants, cutting up the polysyrene (聚苯乙烯) with their mouths and then feeding it to the bacteria in their stomach,” said Chris Rinke from the University of Queensland in Australia. “The breakdown products from this reaction can then be used by other microbes to create high-value chemicals.”
In the study, scientists divided beetle larvae into three groups, feeding one group wheat bran, one polystyrene and one nothing. Over three weeks, they monitored their growth. “We found that superworms fed a diet of just polystyrene not only survived, but even had marginal weight gains,” said Rinke. “This suggests the worms can get energy from the polystyrene, most likely with the help of their stomach bacteria.”
On the other hand, the plastic-fed worms gained much less weight and were overall much less healthy than the bran-fed ones, though better off than the starvation group. After three weeks, some larvae were also set aside to grow into beetles, according to the study. About 93% of the bran-fed larvae formed adult worms, while about 67% of the plastic-fed larvae and 10% of the starved larvae formed adult worms.
The researchers investigated the superworm’s stomach bacteria to find the specific enzymes linked to plastic degradation, writes Fionna M. D．Samuels for Scientific American. The enzyme that degrades the polystyrene appears to live with the stomach bacteria, not the worm itself.
Polystyrene is one of the most common plastics used today. But it’s not very chemically reactive, and breaking it down with industrial recycling methods takes high heat. So, researchers have been looking for plastic-degrading enzymes and bacteria for years.
Further research will still need to be done to figure out how to employ these worms, bacteria and enzymes in recycling facilities.
12．What does Chris Rinke compare superworms to
A．Small plants. B．Beetle larvae. C．Stomach bacteria. D．High-value chemicals.
13．What does the underlined word “marginal” mean in Paragraph 3
A．Few. B．Tiny. C．Obvious. D．Normal.
14．What is the sixth paragraph intended to show
A．The damage of plastic to life.
B．Possible causes of plastic pollution.
C．Researchers’ efforts over the years to recycle plastic.
D．The necessity of finding out a way to degrade plastic.
15．What is the purpose of the text
A．To report a new way to recycle plastic. B．To call on people to reduce plastic waste.
C．To explain how larvae can degrade plastic. D．To introduce the findings of a new research.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Many people treat “life” as something that happens to them. They think they are the victims. 16 However, there are those who are clear on their goals. When something goes wrong, they are the first to admit where they went wrong. So how can you live a life by design instead of by default (默认)
Set goals and actually achieve them
17 “New Year’s Resolutions” are the worst (or best) example of this. It’s easy to set goals, but very few people follow through with them to the end. People who live by design practice the habit of setting goals and actually achieving them. This constant practice is what allows them to set bigger and bigger goals and see them through to completion.
Surround yourself with people you want to be like
Choose your friends carefully. As they say, “ 18 ” Make sure that the individuals who occupy your life and time share your values. Ideally, these people should even be a little bit ahead of you, forcing you to stretch and continue to grow in the direction you’d like to go.
Don’t be afraid to go your own way
When you go your own way, everyone will tell you that you’re wrong at first. But when they find actually they are wrong, they will all come back around. 19 And they will ask you how you did it.
Practice discipline
In order to get to where you know you can go, you have to say “no” a hundred times more than you say the word “yes”. 20 And the only way to do so is to have a strong sense of self-awareness and discipline.
A．Everybody sets goals.
B．They create the life they want to live.
C．Some people just don’t know when to quit.
D．They will see the life you’ve built for yourself.
E．You must be faithful to yourself and your goal.
F．When things go wrong, they think it’s someone else’s fault.
G．You are a reflection of those who you spend the most time with.

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Have you decided on your major ” my parents inquired.
“Bioengineering, of course.” I responded without the slightest hesitation.
I entered this world with Poland syndrome, a disease that prevented the formation of my right arm and pectoral muscle(s 胸肌). My parents, believing that playing with Lego could enhance my dexterity(灵巧), gifted me my first kit when I was five. Struggling to piece the components together, I crafted my first Lego work – a car. As I got older, I grew obsessed with Lego Technic, a more advanced range, and how to use it to build more delicate structures. By the age of nine, I had fashioned my first prosthetic arm(义肢)using Lego Technic – a simple box that perfectly accommodated my right arm.
This early creation sparked my drive for further exploration. Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm that I called the MK-1, which had fingers, a motor, a pressure sensor, a movable elbow joint, and a grabber capable of picking things up.
Before constructing it, I had already decided against traditional prosthetics. Not because they were ineffective, but because playing with Lego did significantly improve my dexterity, helping me adapt to my condition. However, a more frustrating reason was that prosthetics were too expensive. My parents and I had looked into getting one a few years earlier, only to be discouraged by the prohibitive price. So, I concluded that I might not need one because I was managing well without. Nevertheless, the joy of creating prosthetics with Lego remained, and I continued making them purely for the fun of it.
As the years passed, my creations evolved from MK-1 to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. It featured a control unit that could send and receive orders from sensors on the arm to the motors, with cables that contract like muscles.
One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both arms in an accident, reached out to me after learning about my creations. Short of money, they couldn’t afford well-functioning prosthetics. “Daniel,” the father earnestly asked, “we were wondering if you could possibly help build a set of prosthetics for our son.”
