I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began—it’s something
that’s always been there, even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go. I grew up
in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water.
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea , but
the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (锚) in my life and in my writing.
The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I
travelled there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking in
the forests.
I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water. Behind me, the trees of this largely
untouched wilderness emerged. Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky
shore. It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach
into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area—it felt ancient, and it was impossible not
to be humbled.
With a guide for safety, I hiked a few miles through the wilderness. The sounds of the forest
were everywhere. Birds sang. Insects buzzed. Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and
my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible signal, my
guide relaxed, and we went on.
We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breath-taking view I’ve ever seen.
From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground—of shifting
emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear—that’s fed my writing across four books, none more so
than Children of the Sun, and implanted in me a lifelong love of the wild.
24. What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Stimulated. B. Proved. C. Supported. D. Ended.
25. What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” convey in paragraph 3
A. I got curious about the secrets of the forest.
B. I became modest after my 21st birthday.
C. I was attracted by the history of the area.

Authors are upset after tech companies started using their books to train artificial intelligence
without letting them know or seeking their permission. They worry about copyright and loss of
income, among other issues.
According to CNN, the system is called Books3, and according to an investigation by The
Atlantic, the system is based on a collection of pirated (盗版的) e-books including all genres, from
fiction to poetry. Books help generative AI systems with learning how to communicate information.
The Atlantic article notes that some of the text that’s training AI on how to use language is taken
from Wikipedia and other websites. But high-quality generative Al requires higher-quality input than
what is usually found on the internet—that is, it requires the kind found in books.
Many authors apparently don’t view the use of their books to train artificial intelligence as an
honor. Rather, it’s a shortcut that robs them of their due, they say. CNN reported that Nora Roberts,
who writes romantic novels, has 206 books in the database—“second only to William Shakespeare.”
“The database is all kinds of wrong. We are human beings, we are writers and we are being exploited
by people who want to use our work, without permission or compensation (赔偿金) to ‘write’ books,
scripts, essays because it’s cheap and easy,” she said in a statement to CNN.
Not everyone is upset, however, by use of their work to train AI. Ian Bogost, author of some
popular books, wrote a column for The Atlantic. Bogost claims that successful art is beyond its
creator’s plans, noting that an author cannot accurately predict a book’s audience. “To complain this
unexpected use for my writing is to decline all of the other unpredictable uses for it. Speaking as a
writer, that makes me feel bad.”
28. What contributes to some authors’ dissatisfaction with Books3
A. It is unable to train AI.
B. It uses their works illegally.

{#{QQABAYY54gg4kBSACA5rAwWWCEqQkIEgLaoMhQAYqAxigAFAFIA=}#}
C. It fails to improve their income.
D. It sells books without permission.
29.What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Books3
A. The bond it has with Wikipedia.
B. The high quality it possesses.
C. The reason it was created.
D. The benefit it has brought.
30. What is Nora Roberts’ major concern about Books3
A. The lack of recognition for their work.
B. The competition between AI and human authors.
C. The decline in the quality of AI-generated content.
D. The unauthorized use of their books for AI training.
31. Which statement would Ian Bogost probably agree with
A. It’s acceptable for books to be used to train AI.
B. Being involved in Books3 is hardly an honor.
C. Good art should be limited to creators’ plans.
D. It’s necessary to predict a book’s audience.
D
Soda bottles and sour cream containers—these plastics typically arrive at recycling plants mixed
together in the same bin. But because they are made of different monomers (单体), they must be
sorted into different streams before they can be melted to make new products.
“Until about a year ago, everybody thought the only thing you could do is take a plastic, break it
back down to a monomer and then re-form it.” says Sanat Kumar, a chemical engineer at Columbia
University. To seek new solutions to old recycling problems, his team had to solve a fundamental
chemical difficulty: when different plastics are melted together, their various monomers tend to
separate from one another. They have developed a process that allows different kinds of plastic to be
recycled together. Their findings, reported recently in Nature, could give new life to many items that
end up in landfills.
The new process solves this problem by adding chemicals called universal dynamic

cross-linkers (交联剂) to the mix. Just as soap brings together oil and water, which creates a bridge,
allowing the oil and water to mix together and form a stable liquid, these cross-linkers ( when
applied under heat) form covalent molecular bonds ( 共 价 键 ) that attach the diverse monomers
together. These materials can then be melted and remade again and again because the cross-linkers
can break and re-form their bonds.
The researchers hope the technique could eventually help handle more plastic waste—but it’s
not yet cheap enough to be widely used at existing recycling facilities. Still, Kumar wishes it would
be one way to help recyclers address the plastic waste crisis. “The plastics problem is huge,” he says,
“and you’re going to have to look for multiple solutions.”
32. Why do recycling plants sort soda bottles into different streams
A. They serve various purposes.
B. They melt at diverse temperatures.
C. They are made of different materials.
D. They are produced by multiple brands.
33. The difficulty of recycling different plastics together lies in how to __________.
A. separate various monomers successfully
B. prevent various monomers being apart
C. break them down thoroughly
D. re-form them more quickly
34. How does the author explain the new process
A. By making a comparison.
B. By providing examples.
C. By quoting a report.
D. By listing facts.
35. What is the current limitation of the new recycling technique
A. It’s not environmentally friendly.
B. It works with select plastic types.
C. It breaks down plastics thoroughly.
D. It’s not cost-effective for wide use.

To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always
described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 36 I was not the only one who felt this way.
About 50% of the passengers of our expedition had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes
to show just how magical the destination is.
37 How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. The blinding white
blankets everything, blurring the boundary between land and ocean. The icy water moves through
your body as you take the Polar Plunge. The solemn silence calms your restlessness and reminds you
of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. The list goes on.
Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. Everything has a purpose,
and the cycle of life is evident. You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature.
38 For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches.
Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very
slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. 39
Things move fast here, every month offering something unique and special to see. In March, the
weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. Our voyage was the
last of the season. In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.
The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. They are really weak during this
time, and cannot dive. 40
These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments.
It’s absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful
to have been a visitor.
A．But that is not how it is.
B．It is as much cruel as beautiful.
C．I, years later, did return to this fascinating place.
D．The cycle continues, and you’ re left wondering who to support.
E．That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe it.
F．But immediately I stepped foot on the continent, I knew I needed to return.
G．The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them.

I was going through severe anxiety, which caused my body to respond in a frightening way. I
feared something was wrong with my heart, so I turned to 41 for help. With a 29-year-old patient
at the office, the cardiologist(心脏病科专家)seemed 42 , as I was probably not his usual type of
patient. He frankly told me, “I can’t tell you what the little thing you feel in your chest is.” He 43
my concerns, offered no sympathy, and sent me home. I felt 44 that I'd wasted his valuable time
and I was more anxious than I’d been before.
With tears in my eyes, I told the second doctor that I felt “messed up”. The doctor listened 45 ,
pulled his chair up beside me and gently 46 me. He said, “We’re going to do everything we can
to check you and make sure nothing is 47 , and I think what you’re most probably experiencing is
anxiety.”
He spoke to me compassionately, and with full 48 of my concerns. The way he
communicated with me never 49 me to feel guilty or foolish. He cared for me, listened to me, and
understood me. Most importantly, I felt he had my best 50 in mind and he was 51 helping
me sort out what was bothering me. After that, I felt like most of my symptoms and discomfort
52 .
Years later, I recognized the 53 of Doctor 2’s sympathetic response and Doctor 1’s inaction.
And I think our medical 54 should go beyond the pure physical, and sometimes we should 55
the psychological one, too.

On December 4, 2024, the "Spring Festival — Chinese Traditional New Year Celebration"

highlights the cultural significance of the festival but also demonstrates China's contribution 57

As the most important traditional festival in China, the Spring Festival embodies rich cultural
values, 58 are reflected in activities such as writing couplets, decorating homes with red

Chinese philosophy and promote social cohesion.
The successful application has sparked international attention with over 20 countries 60
（recognize) the Lunar New Year as a public holiday, 61 celebrations have expanded beyond
Chinese communities so far. For example, London's Trafalgar Square and New York's Times Square
host grand events, 62 (attract) millions of participants annually. However, some controversies
exist. South Korea once attempted to claim the festival as its own cultural heritage, causing debates
on cultural ownership. The UNESCO listing, therefore, serves as a formal 63 (confirm) of its
Chinese origin.
To preserve this heritage, China has carried out measures 64 combining tradition with
innovation. Schools and museums organize workshops to teach paper-cutting and dragon dances,
while digital platforms livestream temple fairs, allowing global audiences 65 (experience) the
festivities. Experts emphasize that cultural confidence comes not only from honoring traditions but
also adapting them to modern life.

I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began—it’s something
that’s always been there, even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go. I grew up in
a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water. Unfortunately,
or perhaps fortunately, my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea , but the love of nature
remained and has been an anchor (锚) in my life and in my writing.
The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I travelled
there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking in the forests.
I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water. Behind me, the trees of this largely
untouched wilderness emerged. Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky
shore. It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach
into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area—it felt ancient, and it was impossible not
to be humbled.
With a guide for safety, I hiked a few miles through the wilderness. The sounds of the forest were
everywhere. Birds sang. Insects buzzed. Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my
guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible signal, my guide
relaxed, and we went on.
We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breath-taking view I’ve ever seen.
From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground—of shifting
emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear—that’s fed my writing across four books, none more so than
Children of the Sun, and implanted in me a lifelong love of the wild.
24. What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Stimulated. B. Proved. C. Supported. D. Ended.
25. What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” convey in paragraph 3 A. I got curious about
the secrets of the forest.
B. I became modest after my 21st birthday.
C. I was attracted by the history of the area.
D. I was astonished by the powerful nature.
26. Which word can best describe the guide
A. Frightened. B. Practiced. C. Considerate. D. Indecisive.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The passion for adventure. B. The feature of the Great Bear Rainforest.
C. An unforgettable travel experience. D. A vivid description of mixed emotions.

Authors are upset after tech companies started using their books to train artificial intelligence
without letting them know or seeking their permission. They worry about copyright and loss of income,
among other issues.
According to CNN, the system is called Books3, and according to an investigation by The Atlantic,
the system is based on a collection of pirated (盗版的) e-books including all genres, from fiction to
poetry. Books help generative AI systems with learning how to communicate information.
The Atlantic article notes that some of the text that’s training AI on how to use language is taken
from Wikipedia and other websites. But high-quality generative Al requires higher-quality input than
what is usually found on the internet—that is, it requires the kind found in books.
Many authors apparently don’t view the use of their books to train artificial intelligence as an
honor. Rather, it’s a shortcut that robs them of their due, they say. CNN reported that Nora Roberts,
who writes romantic novels, has 206 books in the database—“second only to William Shakespeare.”
“The database is all kinds of wrong. We are human beings, we are writers and we are being exploited
by people who want to use our work, without permission or compensation (赔偿金) to ‘write’ books,
scripts, essays because it’s cheap and easy,” she said in a statement to CNN.
Not everyone is upset, however, by use of their work to train AI. Ian Bogost, author of some
popular books, wrote a column for The Atlantic. Bogost claims that successful art is beyond its creator’s
plans, noting that an author cannot accurately predict a book’s audience. “To complain this unexpected
use for my writing is to decline all of the other unpredictable uses for it. Speaking as a writer, that
makes me feel bad.”
28. What contributes to some authors’ dissatisfaction with Books3 A.
It is unable to train AI.
B. It uses their works illegally.
C. It fails to improve their income.
D. It sells books without permission.
29.What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Books3 A.
The bond it has with Wikipedia.
B. The high quality it possesses.
C. The reason it was created.
D. The benefit it has brought.
30. What is Nora Roberts’ major concern about Books3 A.
The lack of recognition for their work.
B. The competition between AI and human authors.
C. The decline in the quality of AI-generated content.
D. The unauthorized use of their books for AI training.
31. Which statement would Ian Bogost probably agree with
A. It’s acceptable for books to be used to train AI.
B. Being involved in Books3 is hardly an honor.
C. Good art should be limited to creators’ plans.
D. It’s necessary to predict a book’s audience.
D
Soda bottles and sour cream containers—these plastics typically arrive at recycling plants mixed
together in the same bin. But because they are made of different monomers (单体), they must be sorted
into different streams before they can be melted to make new products.
“Until about a year ago, everybody thought the only thing you could do is take a plastic, break it
back down to a monomer and then re-form it.” says Sanat Kumar, a chemical engineer at Columbia
University. To seek new solutions to old recycling problems, his team had to solve a fundamental
chemical difficulty: when different plastics are melted together, their various monomers tend to
separate from one another. They have developed a process that allows different kinds of plastic to be
recycled together. Their findings, reported recently in Nature, could give new life to many items that
end up in landfills.
The new process solves this problem by adding chemicals called universal dynamic
cross-linkers (交联剂) to the mix. Just as soap brings together oil and water, which creates a bridge,
allowing the oil and water to mix together and form a stable liquid, these cross-linkers ( when
applied under heat) form covalent molecular bonds ( 共价键 ) that attach the diverse monomers
together. These materials can then be melted and remade again and again because the cross-linkers
can break and re-form their bonds.
The researchers hope the technique could eventually help handle more plastic waste—but it’s not
yet cheap enough to be widely used at existing recycling facilities. Still, Kumar wishes it would be one
way to help recyclers address the plastic waste crisis. “The plastics problem is huge,” he says,
“and you’re going to have to look for multiple solutions.”
32. Why do recycling plants sort soda bottles into different streams
A. They serve various purposes.
B. They melt at diverse temperatures.
C. They are made of different materials.
D. They are produced by multiple brands.
33. The difficulty of recycling different plastics together lies in how
to __________.
A. separate various monomers successfully
B. prevent various monomers being apart
C. break them down thoroughly
D. re-form them more quickly
34. How does the author explain the new process A. By making a
comparison.
B. By providing examples.
C. By quoting a report.
D. By listing facts.
35. What is the current limitation of the new recycling technique A.
It’s not environmentally friendly.
B. It works with select plastic types.
C. It breaks down plastics thoroughly.
D. It’s not cost-effective for wide use.

To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always
described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 36 I was not the only one who felt this way. About 50%
of the passengers of our expedition had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just
how magical the destination is.
37 How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. The blinding white blankets
everything, blurring the boundary between land and ocean. The icy water moves through your body as
you take the Polar Plunge. The solemn silence calms your restlessness and reminds you of heart-
touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. The list goes on.
Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. Everything has a purpose,
and the cycle of life is evident. You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. 38
For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then
your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim
chances of surviving the upcoming winter. 39
Things move fast here, every month offering something unique and special to see. In March, the
weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. Our voyage was the
last of the season. In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice. The
penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. They are really weak during this time,
and cannot dive. 40
These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments. It’s
absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful to
have been a visitor.
A．But that is not how it is.
B．It is as much cruel as beautiful.
C．I, years later, did return to this fascinating place.
D．The cycle continues, and you’ re left wondering who to support.
E．That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe it.
F．But immediately I stepped foot on the continent, I knew I needed to return.
G．The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them.

I was going through severe anxiety, which caused my body to respond in a frightening way. I
feared something was wrong with my heart, so I turned to 41 for help. With a 29-year-old patient at the
office, the cardiologist(心脏病科专家)seemed 42 , as I was probably not his usual type of patient. He
frankly told me, “I can’t tell you what the little thing you feel in your chest is.” He 43 my concerns,
offered no sympathy, and sent me home. I felt 44 that I'd wasted his valuable time and I was more
anxious than I’d been before.
With tears in my eyes, I told the second doctor that I felt “messed up”. The doctor listened 45 ,
pulled his chair up beside me and gently 46 me. He said, “We’re going to do everything we can to
check you and make sure nothing is 47 , and I think what you’re most probably experiencing is anxiety.”
He spoke to me compassionately, and with full 48 of my concerns. The way he communicated
with me never 49 me to feel guilty or foolish. He cared for me, listened to me, and understood me.
Most importantly, I felt he had my best 50 in mind and he was 51 helping me sort out what was
bothering me. After that, I felt like most of my symptoms and discomfort
52 .
Years later, I recognized the 53 of Doctor 2’s sympathetic response and Doctor 1’s inaction. And
I think our medical 54 should go beyond the pure physical, and sometimes we should 55 the
psychological one, too.

Dear Tom,
I’m thrilled to share my trip with you!
During my winter vacation, I traveled to Sanya for sightseeing.This tropical paradise attracted me with its endless golden beaches and coconut trees. Every morning, I swam in the warm sea while seagulls danced above the waves.
The highlight was trying Hainanese chicken rice, a famous local cuisine. I also took many souvenir photos with seashells shaped like hearts. At sunset, I sat on the sand listening to fishermen’s songs, feeling completely relaxed.
This trip taught me that simple joys like sunshine and laughter can make life wonderful. Can’t wait to hear about your adventures!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
Dear Tom,
I’m thrilled to share my trip with you!
During my winter vacation, I traveled to the countryside near Beijing! I chose this destination because I wanted to escape the city noise and enjoy fresh air. The small village surrounded by green hills looked like a painting in spring.
During the trip, I climbed ancient stone steps to a hilltop temple, where I rang a huge bronze bell for good luck. I also learned to make traditional dumplings with a local family, which was messy but fun! The most exciting part was cycling through flower fields under blue skies.
This journey taught me that happiness often comes from simple things—like the smell of wildflowers or sharing stories with new friends. How about your holiday I’d love to hear your stories!
Best wishes,
Li Hua

B
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者20岁时独自去大熊雨林旅行的经历，讲述了旅行中的所见所闻。
24. D 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“my lack of scientific talent quickly”以及后文“but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor in my life and in my writing可知，but表示转折，说明作者缺乏科学天赋，很快结束了这个想法，但对大自然的热爱仍然存在，并一直是生活和写作的支柱。故划线词意思是“结束,终结”。
25. D 句意猜测题。根据第三段“It seemed there was no way in.This wilderness held its secrets close.Stepping from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area - it felt ancient, and it was impossible not to be humbled.(似乎没有办法进去。这片荒野封闭着它的秘密。从海滩走进森林，我立刻感受到这个地区的历史-它给人一种古老的感觉，不可能不感到谦卑)”以及最后一段“From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. it was thasense of unsettled ground-of shifting emotion, secrets and awe,beauty and fear(正是这种不安的感觉不断变化的情感、秘密与敬畏、美丽与恐惧)”可推知，第3段中的“不可能不感到谦卑”意思是“我对大自然的强大感到敬畏”。
26. B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Something bigger moved through the under growth and my guide stopped dead. Listened,My heart was in my mouth.Then, after some invisible signal, my guide relaxed, and we went on(有个更大的东西穿过灌木丛，我的向导突然停了下来。听着。我的心都提到嗓子眼儿了。然后，在一些看不见的信号之后，我的向导放松了下来，我们继续前进”可推知，导游从一开始看到更大的东西停下来，到后来看到信号之后放松了下来，说明他很有经验，很内行。
27. C 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I travelled there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking in the forests.(大熊雨林广阔、壮丽、野生，但也友好、有趣、多样。我在20岁的时候独自去那里旅行，计划在我21岁生日的时候去露营，在森林里徒步旅行)”结合文章主要讲述了作者20岁时独自去大熊雨林旅行的经历，讲述了旅行中的所见所闻。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是一次难忘的旅行经历。故选C。
C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻,介绍了Books3使用盗版书籍训练AI在作家中引发争议这一社会热点问题。
28. B 推理判断题。根据第一段“Authors are upset after tech companies started using their books totrain artificial intelligence without letting them know or seeking their permission. They worry about copyright and loss of income, among other issues.”可知科技公司使用这些作家的书没有得到他们的许可，是不合法的，这些作家担心自己的权益和收入受到伤害。
29. C 推理判断题。根据第三段“ But high-quality generative Al requires higher-quality input thanwhat is usually found on the internet-that is, it requires the kind found in books.”可知高质量的生成式人工智能的输人需要比通常在互联网上找到的内容质量更高，也就是书本的内容，而 Books3的创建就是为了解决这个问题。所以这段话重点解释了创建Books3的原因。
30. D 细节理解题。根据第四段内容，Nora Roberts明确表示她对Books3的不满主要在于未经授权使用她的作品来训练 AI，并且她认为这是一种剥削。她的核心担忧是作品被非法使用，而不是缺乏认可、AI生成内容的质量下降或与AI的竞争。
31. A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To complain this unexpected use for my writing is to declinewriter, that makes me feel bad.”可知Ianall of the other unpredictable uses for it. Speaking as aBogost将自己的书籍被 Books3 收录视作一种意料之外的使用，并且认为拒绝这种意料之外的用途会让自己“feel bad”，所以得出他能够接受自己的书籍被 Books3 收录来训练 AI。
D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一个新研究突破垃圾回收难题,使得不同种类的垃圾能够同时被回收利用。
32. C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But because they are made of different monomers (单体), they must be sorted into different streams before they can be melted to make new products.” 可知，材料不同，所以要分类到不同的系列中。
33. B细节理解题。根据文章第二段“they have faced a fundamental chemical difficulty: when different plastics are melted together, their various monomers tend to separate from one another”可知因为同时被熔化时不同单体往往会分离,所以不同的塑料不能被同时处理回收，可知遇到的难题是如何防止不同单体的分离。
34. A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Just as soap brings together oil and water, which creates abridge, allowing the oil and water to mix together and form a stable liquid”可知作者在解释处理过程时将其和肥皂能把油和水结合在一起进行类比，降低读者理解的难度。
35. D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“but it’s not yet cheap enough to be widely used at existing recycling facilities”可知这个技术的使用成本仍然较高，目前不能够被广泛使用。
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在南极洲的旅行经历。
36．根据上文“I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. (我一直把它描述为一个一生一次的经历。)”可知，作者认为去南极洲的旅行是一个一生一次的经历，F项意为“但当我踏上这片大陆时，我知道我需要回去。”，选项能够承接上文，表示虽然作者刚开始认为去南极洲的旅行是一个一生一次的经历，但当作者踏上南极的陆地时，想法改变了，知道还会回到那里。故选F。
37．根据下文“How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. (在高耸的冰川和冰山旁边，你感觉多么渺小。)”和“The solemn silence calms your restlessness and reminds you of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. (庄严的沉默平息了你的不安，让你想起了过去探险家们感人的生存故事。)”可知，此处在讲在南极的感官感受，E项意为“你所有的感官都会受到刺激，这是我所能描述的最好的方式。”，选项能够引起下文对于感官的描述。故选E。
38．根据下文“For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. (例如，当你看到一只棕色贼鸥攻击一只企鹅雏鸟时，你的心会痛。)”可知，自然有美，也有残酷，B项意为“它既美丽又残忍。”，选项能够引起下文，下文举例说明了自然的残忍是如何体现的。故选B。
39．根据上文“For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. (例如，当你看到一只棕色贼鸥攻击一只企鹅雏鸟时，你的心会痛。然后你的探险向导遗憾地告诉你，一只在三月很小的雏鸟在即将到来的冬天存活下来的机会很小。)”可知，自然是残酷的，其中有弱肉强食，经历着一次次生命循环，D项意为“循环仍在继续，你不知道该为谁加油。”，选项能够承接上文，描述自然生命的循环。故选D。
40．根据上文“The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive. (企鹅正在完成一年一度的换羽过程。这段时间它们真的很虚弱，不能潜水。)”可知，企鹅在的换羽过程中很虚弱，G项意为“探险队确保我们保持距离，没有吓到他们。”，选项能够承接上文，企鹅在的换羽过程中很虚弱，所以探险队确保保持距离，不要吓到它们。此处them与上文The penguins呼应。故选G。
