The history of plastic is no longer than you might expect.In fact，the first man-made plastic was made over a hundred years ago.It was discovered both by an Englishman and an American in the same year，but it was the American who first developed it on a large scale during the 1860s.
Everybody was excited by this new material because it was so cheap.Poor workers were able to buy plastic collars.These plastic collars were hard and uncomfortable，but they were easy to wash.The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water.Poor mothers，who had not been able to afford toys for their children，were now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic.
However，plastic has one serious fault.Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily，and when they do，a poisonous gas is produced.What’s worse，plastic takes a very long time to break down so it causes serious pollution.We now use the term “white pollution” to refer to plastic pollution.

Food waste has been of major global concern for many years now.It is estimated that every year,1.3 billion tons of edible food—equal to a third of global production—which would be enough to feed three billion people，is wasted.This is particularly shocking when one considers that every day，people go hungry.Ending food waste would certainly solve this problem，but unfortunately，it is not as easy as that.
A huge amount of agricultural produce goes to waste as a result of unreasonable quality standards that overemphasize colour，shape and uniformity in appearance especially with regard to fruits and vegetables.The result was that farmers worked with agricultural scientists to focus on the appearance and volume of their products and organic farming had to take a back seat.
Food is also wasted when fresh or processed produce that is close to or at the best-before date in many developed countries is got rid of by retailers and consumers.And this is often a result of poor supply chain management and the overshopping which has been ordinarily existing in western households for a long time.
Another way that wastage occurs is when edible food remains unused or left over and is got rid of from household kitchens and eating places.How many of us refuse leftovers and insist on freshly-prepared meals three times a day on a daily basis Then there are eating places，particularly in North America，that prefer to throw out unused and untouched food rather than allow their employees to consume it or give it to the homeless.
Given its complexity，reducing and ending food waste requires an overall approach，but it must be solved as it is critical to creating the zero-hunger world.Doing so，we would meet the Sustainable Development Goal(可持续性发展目标) which is to end hunger，achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球存在的食物浪费以及食物匮乏问题，解释了食物浪费背后的原因，并呼吁大家减少和消除食物浪费。

A．People are starving.
B．The population is growing.
C．Global production is decreasing.
D．Food is being wasted.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。根据第一段中“This is particularly shocking when one considers that every day，people go hungry.”以及画线词上文“Ending food waste would certainly solve”可知，每天都有人挨饿，而结束食物浪费当然会解决人们挨饿的问题。故画线词“this problem”指的是“人们在挨饿”。故选A。
33．What can we learn about the quality standards mentioned in paragraph 2
A．They overemphasize the flavour of produce.
B．They can certainly ensure the quality of produce.
C．They are aimed at nothing but fruits and vegetables.
D．They directly lead to organic farming being ignored.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段“A huge amount of agricultural produce goes to waste as a result of unreasonable quality standards that...The result was that farmers...and organic farming had to take a back seat.”可知，本段提到的不合理的质量标准直接导致有机农业被忽视。故选D。

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。
Science shows that stretching(拉伸) is essential after exercise.Stretching lengthens and mobilizes the connective tissue around your muscle.What’s more，stretching helps your blood flow and even relieves your stress. 36
You could feel sick.You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise，you raise your heart rate for a period of time.While it’s great to get that blood flowing，it’s just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over. 37 As your heart is beating faster and your body temperature is higher，you could pass out or feel sick if you stop too fast.Stretching after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore.When you exercise your muscles，it produces lactic acid(乳酸)，which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore.When you rest between periods of exercise，your body naturally breaks down that lactic acid.One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid 38 Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body，which can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.
39 Flexibility is closely related to injury risk.Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles that get tired quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury.Besides，your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. 40 Sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A．You’ll be at risk of injury.
B．You guessed it：Stretching.
C．You’ll improve your flexibility by stretching.
D．It does wonders for both your physical and mental health.
E．This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down”．
F．There are harmful side effects if you don’t stretch after exercise.
G．That’s why people often feel pain in their “weight bearing” joints like knees and hips.
36．答案　F
解析　空前讲锻炼之后做拉伸运动的好处，由后文各段首句可知，下文讲的是不做拉伸运动的不良后果。该空承上启下，为本文的中心句，F选项符合题意，引出下文。故选F。
37．答案　E
解析　根据上文“it’s just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over”可知，锻炼结束后，让心率恢复到正常水平同样重要，下文说明了这样做的原因。E选项“这也就是健身界所说的‘冷身运动’”承接上文，选项中的This指代上文让心率恢复正常这一过程。故选E。
38．答案　B
解析　根据上句“One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid？”可知，设空处需要一个答案。根据下文内容“Stretching helps you distribute...”可知，B选项就是对问句的回答。故选B。
39．答案　A
解析　根据文章结构可知，设空处为本段的主旨句。结合后文“Flexibility is closely related to injury risk.”可知本段主要讲述受伤的风险。A选项是不做拉伸运动的不良后果且符合本段内容，选项中的“risk of injury”和后文的injury risk对应。故选A。
40．答案　G
解析　根据上句“Besides，your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints.”可知，活动范围的缩减也会导致关节供血和营养物质减少。G选项“这就是为什么人们经常在膝盖和臀部等‘负重’关节感到疼痛”承接上文，并引出下文坚持拉伸运动的建议。故选G。
第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分)
第一节　(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分 15 分)

As I walked，I reflected on my anger and what may have 44 it.Certainly the situation did not guarantee it.As I walked，I 45 my friend’s voice saying，“Drop into the heart space，” a space that love rises and，if we 46 it，it can heal our hurt.It is my 47 that hate cannot rise where love shines.I allowed my mind to follow that love and to reflect on what the 48 of my anger was.I realized my anger is the result of many 49 that are normal.
There is a 50 of being upset，annoyed，tired and there is sorrow 51 as well.And perhaps the sorrow is the 52 one.It is not easy to watch a parent decline even when I 53 that it is part of the cycle of life.I had not 54 my sadness until a friend suggested that it was part of my anger，and she was correct.I am 55 for having friends I can turn to for support and comfort.

语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了圣地亚哥动物园的一只企鹅Lucas在穿上矫正鞋之后的生活。
56．答案　Dressed
解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句中有谓语，前后无连词，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，动词dress和其逻辑主语a penguin之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词形式，单词位于句首，首字母大写。故填Dressed。
57．答案　has had
解析　考查动词时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构和意思可知，句中有时间状语for more than three years，所以谓语用现在完成时，主语是Lucas，助动词用has。故填has had。
58．答案　from
解析　考查固定搭配。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定搭配different from，意为“和……不同”。故填from。
59．答案　researchers
解析　考查名词复数。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格处在句中作主语，意为“研究员”，是可数名词，要用复数形式，表示泛指。故填researchers。
60．答案　possibility
解析　考查名词。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格前面有不定冠词a，所以这里要用名词单数形式，表示“可能性”。故填possibility。
61．答案　are fitted
解析　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是现在的事实，所以谓语用一般现在时，动词fit“安置”和主语The boots之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，主语为复数，be动词用are。故填are fitted。
62．答案　a
解析　考查冠词。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格后是单数名词penguin，这里表示泛指，所以用不定冠词，penguin的发音是以辅音音素开头，所以用a。故填a。
63．答案　easier
解析　考查形容词比较级。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里是形容词比较级作补语，表示Lucas在有了新靴子之后和之前的对比，此处表示“更容易的”。故填easier。
64．答案　allowing
解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里用现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。故填allowing。
65．答案　that
解析　考查同位语从句。分析句子结构和意思可知， he may be able to live a full life是同位语从句，解释hope的内容，从句意义完整，不缺少句子成分，用连词that引导。故填that。

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。
After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days，we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly.It was my first bicycle.My mind told me I got it when I was seven，who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle and he called，“Your own car.” Of course I knew he had some magical ability，but I didn’t think he could make such an awesome object.He added the seat and the pedals(脚踏板) so that I would not have any problems.My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was.I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material.The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it.Honestly，I was scared to try it.
After a month，my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about.I was finally determined to try it.My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly.He and I went to the park to see what we could do there.The park was empty when we arrived.I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it.I felt sorry for other people，but I was proud to have such a capable person as my dad.We found a smooth and open space.My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn’t fell.He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind，holding the bicycle.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
I started to pedal and the bicycle moved.
I turned around and found my dad was not behind.
参考范文
I started to pedal and the bicycle moved.As the wheels responded beautifully and smoothly，it was for the first time that I felt this sensation of freewheeling.Carefully steering the bicycle，my heart thumped as the bicycle was accelerating.Attempting to behave manly，I sat straight，pedaling and wondering whether and when I could handle the bike on my own.Minutes ticked by before it hit me that my dad would be worn out after following me for such a long distance.“Dad，you could let go if you are tired，” I yelled.No response!
I turned around and found my dad was not behind.My mind going blank，I was scared out of my wits! I landed on the road and fell off the bike before I knew where the brakes were.Luckily，I only got some scratches on the knees and elbows.Minutes later，my dad caught up and congratulated me on my being manly for cycling 50 yards on my own.After a few more hours’ practice I learned how to pedal，steer，turn and brake properly.A little frightening as the experience was，I felt the joy of learning to do something independently and grateful for the meaningful memory with my father.单元检测卷(二)(Units 3～4)

Sharing could be giving somebody a gift，helping someone by donating some money，sharing your food with a poor and hungry person.It can simply mean giving some time to help others.
When you receive something from others，it makes you happy.On the other hand，when you give something to others，it makes both you and the receiver happy.From the outside，sharing seems to give away a part of your time，resource or space to others.But when you share something with others，you can get all kinds of positivities inside and outside yourself.It can enhance your mood，reduce your stress level，decrease your blood pressure，and have a long-term effect on your life and longevity(长寿)．

Food waste has been of major global concern for many years now.It is estimated that every year,1.3 billion tons of edible food—equal to a third of global production—which would be enough to feed three billion people，is wasted.This is particularly shocking when one considers that every day，people go hungry.Ending food waste would certainly solve this problem，but unfortunately，it is not as easy as that.
A huge amount of agricultural produce goes to waste as a result of unreasonable quality standards that overemphasize colour，shape and uniformity in appearance especially with regard to fruits and vegetables.The result was that farmers worked with agricultural scientists to focus on the appearance and volume of their products and organic farming had to take a back seat.
Food is also wasted when fresh or processed produce that is close to or at the best-before date in many developed countries is got rid of by retailers and consumers.And this is often a result of poor supply chain management and the overshopping which has been ordinarily existing in western households for a long time.
Another way that wastage occurs is when edible food remains unused or left over and is got rid of from household kitchens and eating places.How many of us refuse leftovers and insist on freshly-prepared meals three times a day on a daily basis Then there are eating places，particularly in North America，that prefer to throw out unused and untouched food rather than allow their employees to consume it or give it to the homeless.
Given its complexity，reducing and ending food waste requires an overall approach，but it must be solved as it is critical to creating the zero-hunger world.Doing so，we would meet the Sustainable Development Goal(可持续性发展目标) which is to end hunger，achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
32．What do the underlined words “this problem” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．People are starving. B．The population is growing.
C．Global production is decreasing. D．Food is being wasted.
33．What can we learn about the quality standards mentioned in paragraph 2
A．They overemphasize the flavour of produce.
B．They can certainly ensure the quality of produce.
C．They are aimed at nothing but fruits and vegetables.
D．They directly lead to organic farming being ignored.
34．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the practice in eating places
A．Positive. B．Cautious. C．Uncaring. D．Negative.
35．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Waste and Agriculture B．Waste and Want
C．Waste and Safety D．Waste and Fairness

Science shows that stretching(拉伸) is essential after exercise.Stretching lengthens and mobilizes the connective tissue around your muscle.What’s more，stretching helps your blood flow and even relieves your stress. 36
You could feel sick.You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise，you raise your heart rate for a period of time.While it’s great to get that blood flowing，it’s just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over. 37 As your heart is beating faster and your body temperature is higher，you could pass out or feel sick if you stop too fast.Stretching after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore.When you exercise your muscles，it produces lactic acid(乳酸)，which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore.When you rest between periods of exercise，your body naturally breaks down that lactic acid.One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid 38 Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body，which can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.
39 Flexibility is closely related to injury risk.Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles that get tired quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury.Besides，your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. 40 Sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A．You’ll be at risk of injury.
B．You guessed it：Stretching.
C．You’ll improve your flexibility by stretching.
D．It does wonders for both your physical and mental health.
E．This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down”．
F．There are harmful side effects if you don’t stretch after exercise.
G．That’s why people often feel pain in their “weight bearing” joints like knees and hips.

There is a 50 of being upset，annoyed，tired and there is sorrow 51 as well.And perhaps the sorrow is the 52 one.It is not easy to watch a parent decline even when I 53 that it is part of the cycle of life.I had not 54 my sadness until a friend suggested that it was part of my anger，and she was correct.I am 55 for having friends I can turn to for support and comfort.

After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days，we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly.It was my first bicycle.My mind told me I got it when I was seven，who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle and he called，“Your own car.” Of course I knew he had some magical ability，but I didn’t think he could make such an awesome object.He added the seat and the pedals(脚踏板) so that I would not have any problems.My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was.I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material.The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it.Honestly，I was scared to try it.
After a month，my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about.I was finally determined to try it.My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly.He and I went to the park to see what we could do there.The park was empty when we arrived.I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it.I felt sorry for other people，but I was proud to have such a capable person as my dad.We found a smooth and open space.My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn’t fell.He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind，holding the bicycle.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
I started to pedal and the bicycle moved.　
I turned around and found my dad was not behind.

There are many heritage sites in the world.The following are four sites in UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Dinosaur Provincial Park，Canada
The park is best known for its extensive fossil(化石) beds，within which 35 species of dinosaurs from about 100 to 65 million years ago have been identified.There are also fossilized remains of fish，reptiles，and amphibians.The area was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
Salonga National Park，Congo
This is the largest tropical rainforest reserve in Congo，covering about 36,000 km.The park was established in 1970.The thick forest provides habitats for various animals like parrots，elephants and monkeys.Park visitors observe the animals from motorized riverboats.The park was entered into the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984.
Hadrian’s Wall，Britain
This is a Roman barrier that guarded the border of Britain.Hadrian，the Roman emperor from 117 CE to 138 CE，went to Britain in 122 CE and was the first to build a wall,73 miles long，to separate the Romans from the barbarians.There was no intention of fighting from the wall top; the soldiers there were trained to encounter the enemy in the open.In 1987，Hadrian’s Wall was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Easter Island，Chile
This place is famous for its huge stone statues.The first European visitors，the Dutch，named it Easter Island in memory of their day of arrival.The small and hilly island was formed by volcanoes.Easter Island was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1995.

Imagine walking into the depths of the jungle(丛林) to observe the chimpanzees who call it home.With a click of your camera，you document groundbreaking information about the species.Sounds wonderful，right？Jane Goodall did just that.
When Goodall was young，reading and exploring nature were her ideas of fun.Her mother encouraged her to learn and ask questions.Goodall dreamed of seeing the habitats(栖息地) of her favorite animals like chimpanzees first-hand.
In July 1957，when she was 23，Goodall arrived in Tanzania，East Africa，and journeyed to the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve.She learned early on that studying chimpanzees wouldn’t be easy.To observe chimpanzees up close，she had to gain their trust.That took months.To her，the chimpanzees were complex creatures with lives surprisingly similar to ours.
In October 1960，Goodall was observing chimps.She watched as they made tools out of grass stems to pick ants out of a nest.Until then，people thought humans were the only species that used tools.Because of Goodall’s discovery，chimpanzees are now accepted as intelligent，social animals.
Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977，to provide conservation and environmental education.In the late 1980s，her focus shifted to something much larger.Deforestation(滥伐森林) and climate change were affecting the world’s natural habitats.The vegetation chimpanzees depended on for food was in danger.Goodall left Gombe to help.The fight she began against habitat loss continues today，through animal reserves and research sites.
Throughout her life，Goodall’s work has protected the lives of people and animals around the world.And she encourages young people to join in this fight for a better world.In 1991，she founded Roots & Shoots.It equips young people to take action on issues that matter.Goodall says that if we all do our part to help，the world will be a better place.
24．What can we learn about young Goodall
A．She enjoyed being alone. B．She was fond of traveling.
C．She was crazy about nature. D．She dreamed of keeping a chimp.
25．How did Goodall make a great discovery about chimps in Tanzania
A．By observing chimps closely.
B．By performing an experiment.
C．By studying the photos of chimps.
D．By summarizing others’ studies.
26．Why did Goodall enlarge her study field
A．To protect the animals’ habitats.
B．To find food for chimpanzees.
C．To adapt to climate change.
D．To provide environmental education.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．Traveling in the Jungle B．Making a Better World
C．Building a Better Reserve D．Living Peacefully in Nature

A “superhero” moss can significantly reduce the risk and severity of flooding for communities living in downstream areas，researchers have found.Scientists from the conservation group Moors for the Future Partnership who conducted a six-year study into sphagnum moss(泥炭藓) found that planting it in upland areas could dramatically slow the rate at which water runs off the hillsides，preventing river catchments(集水处) being overwhelmed with water downstream.
The research found that the sphagnum moss reduced peak streamflow—the maximum amount of water that enters a river after a storm—by 65%.The moss was also found to increase lag time—the time taken between rainfall and the rainwater entering the river system—by 680%.
More than 50,000 individual sphagnum plants—which are about the size of a 50p coin—were planted on Kinder Scout，the highest point in the Peak District National Park，as part of an “outdoor laboratory” for researchers to observe.
Before the moss was planted on Kinder Scout，the hill surface consisted of bare peat，which meant that after a storm rainwater would wash straight off，leaving communities in downstream valleys more vulnerable to flooding.
The planting of sphagnum moss could therefore bring important ecological benefits.The plant is capable of absorbing up to 20 times its own weight in water，which means that more rainwater can be held upstream and enter a river catchment more gradually to prevent it from being overwhelmed.Sphagnum moss can also help protect the layers of peat underneath it，and can accumulate over time to create new layers of peat which are essential to carbon storage.
Tom Spencer，a research and monitoring officer for the Moors for the Future Partnership hailed the dramatic effects the moss has had on the river catchment.He said sphagnum planting could be “a powerful tool in minimising the risk and severity of flooding”，which would have “far-reaching benefits for communities downstream”．
28．What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A．River catchments need to be expanded.
B．Sphagnum moss can ease the impact of flood.
C．More trees should be planted to prevent flood.
D．Upland areas are not safe to live in during flood.
29．What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．Suggested ways to plant sphagnum moss.
B．Serious problems caused by rainwater.
C．Impressive functions of sphagnum moss.
D．Future possibilities of sphagnum moss.
30．What does the underlined word “hailed” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Spoke highly of. B．Lost sight of.
C．Paid attention to. D．Made remarks on.
31．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To explain the real causes of flood.
B．To share a way of planting sphagnum moss.
C．To stress the flood risks of some communities.
D．To introduce the ecological benefits of a plant.
D
Scientists have invented a new type of battery that makes it possible to charge electric vehicles in less than 10 minutes.The innovative design for lithiumion(锂离子) batteries involves a record-breaking combination of shorter charge time and more energy acquired for longer travel range，according to the Penn State University researchers who came up with it.
“The need for smaller，faster-charging batteries is greater than ever，” said Professor Chaoyang Wang from Penn State University，who led the research.“There are simply not enough batteries and critical raw materials，especially those produced domestically，to meet expected demand.”
The fast-charging technology makes it possible for electric vehicles to downsize from 150 to 50 kWh without shortening range，making them cheaper and more efficient.“The smaller，faster-charging batteries will dramatically cut down battery cost and usage of critical raw materials，such as cobalt，graphite and lithium，enabling mass adoption of affordable electric cars，” said Professor Wang.
The breakthrough centres on a novel method for controlling the temperature of the battery，which is needed to optimize its charge time and performance.Until now，this has involved external heating and cooling systems that are inefficient and waste energy.
Regular batteries have three components—an anode，an electrolyte and a cathode—but the fast-charging system adds a fourth that builds in the temperature control system.An ultrathin layer of nickel(超薄镍层) acts as a stimulus to control the battery’s temperature，allowing for 10-minute fast charging for electric cars.
“True fast-charging batteries would have immediate impact，” the researchers noted.“Since there are not enough raw materials for every internal combustion(燃烧) engine car to be replaced by a 150 kWh-equipped EV，fast charging is vital for EVs to go mainstream and become accessible to the public.”
32．What is the main feature of the innovative battery
A．Longer travel range. B．Wider recyclable use.
C．Shortened charge time. D．More energy consumed.
33．What does “this” refer to in paragraph 4
A．The battery’s charge time.
B．The breakthrough in batteries.
C．The battery’s performance.
D．The method of temperature control.
34．Why does the author mention regular battery in paragraph 5
A．To explain a reason. B．To give instructions.
C．To make a comparison. D．To highlight an opinion.
35．What do the researchers’ words imply in the last paragraph
A．Electric vehicles depend greatly on raw materials.
B．The fast-charging batteries have a promising future.
C．The 150 kWh-equipped EVs are bound to go mainstream.
D．Internal combustion engine cars will eventually be replaced.

People may appreciate the mighty sea and those deep，dark lakes when it comes to waters. 36 However，ponds are an important body of water as they fight climate change，improve biodiversity，and help conservation，according to The Revelator organization.So if you are thinking about creating a beautiful and enriching element to your garden this spring，consider a pond.
37 In Switzerland，less than ten percent of the ponds from the last 200 years remain.And in the UK，less than a quarter of the ponds that existed at the start of the 20th century are still around.
Nowadays，a European organization called PONDERFUL is trying to give ponds power by increasing awareness of their importance.They are the unsung heroes of the natural world and are in the front line of climate action，supporting wildlife and capturing harmful emissions.
Adding even a tiny pond in your garden can achieve natural wonders and will actually better all other ecosystems，according to Pond Informer，an online guide about ponds. 38 For example，ponds are a shelter for frogs that eat insects and keep the ecosystem balanced.
They also offer a space for birds to bathe，cool，off and drink. 39 They help with pollination，spread seeds，and control insects.Swallows can eat hundreds of thousands of insects each night，bugs that may just munch on your garden during the day!
With help now on the way，Switzerland has made hundreds of new ponds thus increasing the population of birds and frogs，including the endangered European tree frog. 40
A．Ponds are simply disappearing.
B．Tiny ponds are usually ignored.
C．In turn，these birds can benefit your garden.
D．Your pond can play a part in your community.
E．People can have a great time by creating the ponds.
F．A pond becomes home to many plants and animals.
G．Small，shallow ponds are being restored on former golf courses in the UK.

It was the first week of Mia’s middle school.The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming.She nervously gathered her books，preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Mia followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway.Others walked in groups，chatted，and laughed，using the break to socialize.Mia，instead，walked alone along the wall of the hallway，with her head down.She was a shy girl，afraid to speak in front of other kids，and didn’t think others would like her.
Mia finally sat in Mr Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously.“Welcome to Language Arts，” said Mr Johnson.He told jokes as he talked about English.Mia forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class.“We’ll have some fun with language，” he said.“Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Mia desired.She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway，laughing and joking between classes.Reminded of her pimply(长粉刺的)face，she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper，” the teacher continued，when pointing at words on the blackboard.“Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Mia began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head.The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house.As she wrote，she could smell the salty air，hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet.For just a moment，she forgot where she was.She was lost in the story.
“OK，pass your papers forward，” said the teacher.“Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time，the teacher read each individual work aloud.Mia originally thought it would be awkward.However，she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice.“He’s actually enjoying this，” she thought.When the class would be soon over，there were still fifteen students’ papers not read，including Mia’s paper.Then，Mr Johnson announced his decision，asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
A week later，the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again.　________________

After Mia finished her reading，the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time.
