When you walk along a beach, you may spot colorful bits of broken glass in the sand. But these shiny treasures didn’t start out that way — they were once discarded as useless glass waste by humans. Over time, ocean waves wash and polish the broken glass, turning it into smooth “sea glass.” This process shows how human actions interact with Earth’s natural forces to create something unexpected and beautiful.
Before the 1960s, many U. S. trash sites were left open to rain and wind. Since these sites were often near rivers or coasts, rainwater could wash trash — like glass bottles — into the ocean. On their way to the ocean, glass bottles would run into rocks and other objects, which would break the glass into smaller pieces. Waves then carried the pieces to the sea. Over time, waves push the glass along the sandy ocean floor, making it roll over and over. This process smooths sharp edges and turns clear glass into cloudy, frosted sea glass.
Today, selling and trading sea glass has become a profitable industry in the United States. Sea glass jewelry and collections can be found at craft fairs and markets nationwide. However, due to the rise of single-use plastics as an another way to replace glass bottles, sea glass may soon become harder to find. To solve this problem, some businessmen have begun to produce artificial sea glass using rock tumblers and chemicals.
Recycling glass can be challenging because it is heavy and not always cost-effective to transport. There are few markets for recycled glass. Despite these difficulties, recent environmental activists have pushed for more green ways to replace single-use plastics. Aluminum bottles and cans are becoming increasingly popular, but glass remains an optional way. When glass is not properly recycled, it continues to be thrown away, ensuring that natural sea glass will still appear on beaches for future generations to find and appreciate.
4．What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph 1 mean
A．picked out. B．thrown away. C．gathered together. D．cut down.
5．What happened to glass bottles before they reached the ocean
A．They were damaged by the sun. B．They were eaten by fish.
C．They hit rocks and broke into pieces. D．They were collected by people.
6．How do businessmen solve the problem that sea glass is harder to find
A．By selling more jewelry. B．By collecting sea glass.
C．By using aluminum bottles. D．By creating artificial sea glass.
7．What does the author imply about the future of natural sea glass
A．It’s not going away anytime soon. B．It will be replaced by aluminum cans.
C．It will become increasingly expensive. D．It will disappear due to recycling efforts.

On the blue ocean surrounding Weizhou Island in Guangxi, a group of volunteers are preparing to dive into the water. Huang Wen and his team have spent years planting, monitoring and surveying coral reefs (珊瑚礁) around the island, diving the waters more than 500 times as part of efforts to restore its coral reefs.
As a professor at the School of Marine (海洋的) Sciences at Guangxi University, Huang developed a strong interest in coral reefs during his diving trips in Malaysia, where he discovered a lively underwater world that looked like a magical aquarium (水族馆) filled with colorful coral. Those trips left a lasting impression on him. “I remember my first dive underwater at Weizhou Island in 2015. I was so disappointed to find low coral coverage,” recalled Huang, explaining why he joined the university’s team to make a change.
Huang said that not only do coral reefs play an important part in keeping the balance of underwater ecosystem, but they also act as a protective barrier for natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis. “Coral reefs are the ‘Great Wall’ of the seabed, capable of keeping out 70% to 90%of wave impacts. Without them, the sandy coastal rocks are easily washed away,” explained Huang. Since the 1950s, global coral reef degradation has become increasingly severe, endangering their survival and leading to the marine life’s dying out.
Under Huang’s guidance, the team has successfully grown more than 10 coral species and over 50,000 individual corals, marking great progress in their restoration efforts. Their hard work has resulted in a survival rate of over 80% for coral in the northern restoration zone, making coral communities thrive and attract diverse marine life.
“I hope more people will join our cause to protect coral reefs,” Huang said, “In the future, our team will continue to perfect our technology and restore more damaged coral reefs. Once our experience on Weizhou Island matures, we plan to expand it to the South China Sea and even overseas.”
8．What drove Huang Wen to volunteer to protect coral reefs
A．His disappointment with the low coral coverage. B．His concerns for the island protection.
C．His curiosity about the Marine life. D．His interest in coral reefs.
9．Why are coral reefs important according to the text
A．They can prevent natural disasters. B．They can restore the seabed.
C．They can beautify the coastal rocks. D．They can block most wave impacts.
10．What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Grow slowly. B．Live peacefully. C．Develop well. D．Survive narrowly.
11．What is the best title of this passage
A．Guardian of the Reef B．Underwater “Great Wall”
C．Volunteer of Weizhou Island D．Endangered Underwater World

It is a popular viewpoint that time spent online is bad for our health because surfing the Internet or checking our phones sometimes takes us away from activities which are considered healthier, such as playing sports or socializing. As the digital economy develops, such behavior is often linked to reduced well-being.
However, a new global study has found a surprising answer: The Internet might be good for you. The University of Oxford researchers studied data on the psychological (心理的) well-being of over 2 million people across 168 countries between 2006 and 2021. They looked at 8 indicators (标志) of well-being among the individuals, who were aged 15 to 99, including life satisfaction, daily negative and positive experiences and physical health. The researchers applied well-being indicators to test the relationship between Internet use and well-being outcomes. They found that Internet access was related to positive well-being among some people.
Despite the study’s overall positive findings, however, the link between Internet access and positive well-being was fainter for young women. While some links between Internet connectivity and well-being were positive, some links were negative — with the most observed among women aged 15 to 24 years old. The researchers state that many studies have shown social media use to be connected with greater depression, especially among young women.
A systematic review of research into the topic found higher levels of social media use were connected with worse mental health outcomes, and higher levels of social media use were connected with an increased risk of internalizing and externalizing difficulties among youths, especially females. The same report also noted that the impacts of social media on mental health are complex (复杂的), as different goals are served by different behaviors, and different outcomes are produced by different patterns of use. All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly.
12．What did the University of Oxford researchers study
A．The influence of social media on physical health.
B．The mental health of people in different countries.
C．The effects of outdoor activities on physical health.
D．The relationship between Internet use and mental health.
13．What does the underlined word “fainter” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Weaker. B．Closer. C．More obvious. D．More complex.
14．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The benefits of social media for women. B．The effects of social media on youths.
C．The increased risks of human socialization. D．The difficulties of research on human connection.
15．Which part of a magazine is the text probably taken from
A．Sport and health. B．Economy and life.
C．Technology and society. D．Philosophy and psychology.

五、书面表达（满分25分）
47．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。
In a small town, there lived a girl named Jessica, who had always been a star student, topping every class before college. Confident that her academic success would continue smoothly in college, Jessica spent most of her time scrolling (滚屏) on social media, ignoring her parents’ reminders to focus on her studies and lessons.
This carefree attitude continued for months until the day of Jessica’s mid-term exams. While her friends were worried, Jessica remained untroubled, convinced that, just like before, she would manage to get through, according to her past experiences and natural intelligence. However, when her friends gathered to discuss a math problem with her, Jessica offered the wrong answer. Hearing her answer, one of her friends showed an obviously concerned look. Jessica, attempting to maintain her calmness, assured her friends, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine, just like I always was!” But inside, a sense of self-doubt began to grow.
As the exams began, Jessica’s sense of ease quickly disappeared. With each question, she found herself unsure, realizing just how little preparation she’d done. Despite this, she wrote down whatever she could recall from previous years, telling herself it would be enough for her to pass the exams.
However, when the results came out, Jessica was shocked to find she failed all the exams. The disappointment in her parents’ eyes was more than she could bear. Her friends, who had been studying hard, were celebrating their success, while Jessica was left to face the consequences of her actions. Jessica couldn’t escape the feeling of embarrassment. She knew she had a long road ahead, and repeating the year was the only way forward.

五、书面表达（满分25分）
47．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。
In a small town, there lived a girl named Jessica, who had always been a star student, topping every class
before college. Confident that her academic success would continue smoothly in college, Jessica spent most of her
time scrolling (滚屏) on social media, ignoring her parents’reminders to focus on her studies and lessons.
This carefree attitude continued for months until the day of Jessica’s mid-term exams. While her friends
were worried, Jessica remained untroubled, convinced that, just like before, she would manage to get through,
according to her past experiences and natural intelligence. However, when her friends gathered to discuss a math
problem with her, Jessica offered the wrong answer. Hearing her answer, one of her friends showed an obviously
concerned look. Jessica, attempting to maintain her calmness, assured her friends, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,
just like I always was!”But inside, a sense of self-doubt began to grow.
As the exams began, Jessica’s sense of ease quickly disappeared. With each question, she found herself
unsure, realizing just how little preparation she’d done. Despite this, she wrote down whatever she could recall
from previous years, telling herself it would be enough for her to pass the exams.
However, when the results came out, Jessica was shocked to find she failed all the exams. The
disappointment in her parents’ eyes was more than she could bear. Her friends, who had been studying hard,
were celebrating their success, while Jessica was left to face the consequences of her actions. Jessica couldn’t
escape the feeling of embarrassment. She knew she had a long road ahead, and repeating the year was the only
way forward.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
This failure, however, turned out to be an important turning point for Jessica.

This failure, however, turned out to be an important turning point for Jessica.
Realizing success requires effort, Jessica began to focus on self-discipline, determined
not to let this failure define her, and handed in her phone to her parents voluntarily.
Acknowledging the need for a serious change in her habits, Jessica threw herself into
studies, choosing to stay home instead of attending social events. As the next round of
final exams approached, Jessica felt neither excited nor overconfident. Instead, she fully
focused on revising what she had learned.
When the results of the final exams were announced, Jessica was nervous but
hopeful. Although she’d tried her best to study, she daren’t take the results lightly.

However, the results were beyond Jessica’s expectations — she’d passed every exam with
an A grade! Overwhelmed with relief and joy, she ran to her parents, shared the good
news and promised to value hard work and discipline. Her parents, proud of her
transformation, hugged her tightly and returned her phone. This time, Jessica had truly
earned a fresh start, one built on responsibility, patience and the realization that
success is a product of effort, not luck.
