(总分：60分)
Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
Plastic pollution has become an unfortunate fact of life all over the world—including in the oceans．While all that junk floating around can pose a serious threat to many animals，a new study finds some species may have actually turned it into an entirely new ecosystem!
The North Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge area in the ocean where a lot of plastic waste gets stuck．However，it's not just wastes that get caught up in this mess．Researchers from Georgetown University found that many sea creatures like jellyfish，snails，and barnacles also live there．
In 2018 and 2019，scientists collected 105 pieces of plastic from the patch，and found 46 different species of invertebrates (无脊椎动物) living on them．About 80%of those species normally live near the coast rather than in the middle of an ocean．The researchers also found that these species have been breeding on the patch—meaning there may now be a permanent community of coastal species in the middle of the ocean．
Lead author Linsey Haram said that it's not yet known how this will affect the ocean ecosystem．But she said the coastal species are likely competing for food with ocean species，and they may also be eating each other．
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five areas of garbage that have formed in the middle of huge circular ocean currents called gyres(环流)．Another garbage patch is in the South Pacific，two are in the Atlantic Ocean，and the fifth is in the Indian Ocean．
A 2018 study of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch found that about one-third of garbage could be linked to Japan．Up to 20%of garbage added since 2011 was created by the huge tsunami that hit northern Japan that year，the study said．

Ke'Nyzjah Ferebee was standing by the kitchen worktop，adding cupcake liners to a pan．She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter (面糊) to ensure they would look identical．A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top．The cupcakes were for a 2-year-old's Moana-themed birthday party．The next day，she had orders for a two-tiered cake and two birthday cakes．

Ⅲ．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。
I was doing homework with my friend Ollie at his home when he randomly started scribbling (乱画) a fish．But not just any fish．This fish was riding a skateboard and blowing a bubble that said “I'd rather be skating！” I laughed and drew a sea star saying “Quit fooling around and get to work！”
Just then，Ollie's grandma Abuela and her friend Mr．Goldberg came into the kitchen．Mr．Goldberg was in charge of the local animal shelter．Abuela poured their tea and inquired about how things were going at the animal shelter．Mr．Goldberg sighed，shaking his head．He explained that not enough people were adopting pets，resulting in too many animals without homes．
Overhearing the conversation，Ollie offered to adopt some excitedly．But Abuela said that one noisy parrot was plenty for this house．
“Blue isn't noisy，” defended Ollie．“He's just musical．”
“I'd have a whole farm full of animals if I could，” I said．“But my parents say two cats and a hamster (仓鼠) are enough．”
Mr．Goldberg said he kept trying to attract people to adopt animals，but found it hard to get people's attention these days．Ollie drew a sad whale，and I wrote the words “Please adopt me” in the shape of a whale spout (喷水)．Mr．Goldberg took a look at our drawings and made favorable comments on them，saying that these clever talking animals just might grab people's attention．And he asked us if we were willing to design a poster for his animal shelter，a proposal we happily accepted．We decided to draw some ideas on our own and meet up again the next afternoon．
That night，when I was sitting in the living room brainstorming ideas for the poster，my little brother brought in our hamster，Mr．Nibbles，to give him a little run-around time．He made a hamster playground out of couch pillows and Mr．Nibbles began to run around merrily．
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Suddenly，an idea formed in my mind．_______________________________

We decided to make both Mr．Nibbles and Blue the stars of the poster．______

Dear David，
How is everything going I'm sorry to tell you that some adjustments have been made to the two-day Agricultural Field Trip，which was scheduled for this Friday．
According to the latest weather report，there's going to be a heavy rain this Friday．Thus，our school has decided to put off the field trip until it gets better．Weather permitting，the activity may take place next Friday．I will let you know once it is confirmed．I hope the unexpected change won't cause you much inconvenience．
Yours，
Li Hua
Ⅲ．[参考范文]
Suddenly，an idea formed in my mind．Why not put Mr．Nibbles on the poster？I eagerly sketched out a design featuring Mr．Nibbles in a playful pose，promoting the joy of pet adoption．“Want a pet to play with？Go get one in the local animal shelter．”I admired my work with great satisfaction．The next afternoon，Ollie came over with his notebook．His design was centered on his parrot，Blue，who was singing beautifully “Oh！Be our hero！Give shelter pets a chance to be loved！” We exchanged a smile and engaged in a discussion about the final draft of the poster．
We decided to make both Mr．Nibbles and Blue the stars of the poster．Combining my playful hamster and Ollie's melodious parrot，we created a vibrant and eye-catching design．After adding the final touches，we proudly presented our final creation to Mr．Goldberg．His face lit up as he praised the creativity and heartfelt message behind our design．A couple of months later，Mr．Goldberg shared the exciting news that lots of people had come in after seeing the poster．And some of them decided to donate or adopt！We hadn't expected our poster would cause such a sensation，but we did know our small bit of help would create a meaningful ripple．
