In the morning of the day I had decided to go without using plastic products—or even touching plastic—I opened my eyes and put my feet on the carpet，which is made of nylon，a type of plastic.I was roughly ten seconds into my experiment and I had already broken my rule.Since its invention more than a century ago，plastic has crept into every aspect of our lives.It has made possible thousands of modern conveniences，but it has come with downsides，especially for the environment.
My no-plastic day began at the bathroom，where the plastic coating of the door handle forced me to ask my wife，Julie，to open the door.She did so with a “This is going to be a long day” sigh.I could not use my usual toothpaste，toothbrush，shampoo，or soap since they were packaged in or made from plastic.Instead，I used eco-friendly products: a bamboo toothbrush with natural fibers and a shampoo bar with a fresh smell，and they worked well.
Dressing and shopping posed challenges.Even my cotton pants had hidden plastic in tags(标签) and zippers(拉链)．A small accident with a plastic label left my finger bleeding，so I used paper tape instead of a plastic Band-Aid，while my organic cotton underwear was fine.When shopping，I used cotton bags，glass containers，and coins to avoid plastic credit cards and smartphones; lunch at a sandwich shop was served in my own glass container with a bamboo knife and spoon.
In the park，I sat on a wooden chair to escape the plastic in everyday items.By the end of the day，I had made 164 plastic “violations”．Although my effort was imperfect，I learned that small changes—like using a metal water bottle or reusable bags—can help protect our planet.
24．What might have led to the author’s plastic-free experiment
A．His routine behavior.
B．His fear of breaking rules.
C．His pursuit of convenience.
D．His environmental concerns.
25．What can be inferred from Julie’s “This is going to be a long day” sigh
A．She was excited about the experiment.
B．She foresaw the experiment’s challenges.
C．She wanted to join the no-plastic challenge.
D．She questioned the author’s eco-friendly efforts.
26．What does the experiment suggest about reducing plastic use
A．Complete avoidance is achievable.
B．Plastic alternatives are ineffective.
C．Small changes matter despite challenges.
D．Family support plays a crucial role.
27．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．A Day Without Plastic
B．Modern Life and Plastic
C．Eco-Friendly Challenges
D．Rise of Plastic Alternatives

You may have heard the name “Michelin” because it’s related to Michelin tires.The tire producers Andre and Edouard Michelin created something called a “Michelin Guide” in 1900.It was originally meant as a guide specifically for France，outlining all of the travel destinations and why you should visit them，and thus encouraging people to buy cars，which meant more tire sales.
This guide included gas stations，repair shops，and notable restaurants.The Michelin Guide began to cover all sorts of European and North African countries，but then，the First World War hit and production stopped.After the war，though，the Michelin brothers adapted the guide and began charging for it.This adapted guide included hotel listings.It removed advertising and then began to actually categorize and rate restaurants.
By the year 1936，they had finalized their three-star standards that they would award to restaurants.One Michelin star was classified as “a very good restaurant in its category”．Two Michelin stars meant “excellent cooking，worth a detour(绕道参观)”．And lastly，three Michelin stars meant “exceptional cuisine，worth a special journey”．
Now，the Michelin Guide collection covers 28 titles in more than 25 countries.Michelin hires undercover reviewers called “inspectors” that travel to restaurants secretly and decide their category.These inspectors are not even allowed to disclose to their parents their actual line of work，since parents will likely feel honored and show it off.So the number of inspectors that actually exist is unpublicized.
To get a three-star rating isn’t always a good thing，though.A few restaurants have asked Michelin to take back their star rating.For example，Petersham Nurseries Cafe in London got a star in 2011，but people visiting expected a formal dining experience and unrealistic expectations of what the restaurant really was.Some restaurants in Japan also turned it down because they wouldn’t be able to keep up their quality of food with such a fierce jump in popularity.
Everything must be perfect.Not good，not excellent—perfect.These are the absolute bare basics of the Michelin star system：some history and some highlights.
28．What is the original purpose of making the Michelin Guide
A．To promote the company’s tire sales.
B．To popularize some fascinating hotels.
C．To develop tourism industry in France.
D．To regularize the reference on restaurants.
29．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The principles of Michelin charge.
B．The introduction of Michelin Guide.
C．The criteria of Michelin star ranking.
D．The distribution of Michelin restaurants.
30．Which of the following best describes an inspector
A．Romantic. B．Mysterious.
C．Respectable. D．Promising.
31．Why do some restaurants give up their Michelin star rating
A．They are fed up with the crowded customers.
B．The Michelin star rating ruins their reputations.
C．There are some drawbacks in the Michelin star system.
D．They can’t live up to the expectations of the customers.

For generations，old animals have been described as a heavy burden of their species.Now，a new study turns that thinking on its head.In his paper published in Science last year，R.Keller Kopf of Charles Darwin University noted that losing these old animals weakens the balance of the whole system.
Part of the loss is reproductive ability.The researchers found that in some species，it’s the old，not the young，that produce more offspring(后代)．The loss of the old also prevents the spread of cultural knowledge across the generations，often critical to survival.
Worse still，the people who put together lists of endangered species tend to make their assessments by looking at numbers of individuals，how big they are and whether their range is growing or contracting.The presence or absence of the elderly doesn’t factor in，even though older animals can play such a key role in a species’ survival.
Kopf and his co-authors say that must change.They come up with an idea called “longevity conservation”．It means the protection of old individuals to maintain or restore the age structure of populations.They say biologists who manage fish and wildlife should take the elderly into account.
That might mean，for example，protecting long-lived creatures that live in the bottom of the ocean.It means thinking in decades.It also implies having a decent count of elderly animals in a threatened population.This is a long-ignored tool for building resilience(恢复力) in times of critical ecological stress.
Partly，this is a conceptual shift.I have to wonder whether widespread prejudice against older humans bleeds into some of our attitudes toward elders in other species.Why should it seem so counter-intuitive(违反直觉的) to think an older animal has anything to offer younger generations Me，I trust nature.If，left to their own devices，animals live to a grand old age，that must mean old age provides some survival benefit for the species.Otherwise，it wouldn’t happen.Forever young Nah.Old age rocks.
32．What is a consequence of losing elderly animals
A．Increased biodiversity.
B．Decline in ecosystem balance.
C．Better species structure.
D．Spread of survival knowledge.
33．What action will a group adopting “longevity conservation” take
A．Restore some rare species.
B．Protect short-lived creatures.
C．Relocate threatened species.
D．Restrict harvest of elderly animals.
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Age prejudice affects conservation.
B．Nature favors younger generations.
C．Survival benefits depend on social justice.
D．Conceptual shifts are counter-intuitive.
35．What is the primary purpose of the text
A．To criticize a long-standing view.
B．To advocate a new research method.
C．To argue for the protection of old individuals.
D．To show the reproductive patterns of species.

One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away.A more recent addition to the list of things we throw away is e-waste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. 36 ，but also because we lack the skills to repair them even if we know their value.Many millions of tons of televisions，phones，and other electronic equipment are abandoned each year.A UN report claims the 50 million tons of e-waste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tons by 2050，making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. 37 .
Recently，there’s a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk.The BBC visited a Restart Project in London，which is one of many founded around the world.One of its operators，Francesco Calo，said that “This project makes total sense. 38 .Besides，it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault.”
39 .An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting(提取) these materials from electronic gadgets(小工具)．Apart from just being recycled，the European Union，for example，is trying to encourage manufacturers to reuse some extracted electronic components. 40 .With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements，this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
A．First of all，this project prolongs the life of electric objects
B．It is partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them
C．It is reported that many people have made a big fortune from it
D．Now solutions have been put forward to give this e-waste a new life
E．So it’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional recycling
F．As many electrical items contain valuable metals，another solution is e-waste mining
G．One of the reasons is that people don’t think their electronic items are fashionable enough

Today I met Connell,91，almost fully blind and partly deaf.But he still had his humour.While I was getting a pedicure(修脚) in a shop，Connell was 41 to the chair next to me.Being his first time here，he was 42 a little embarrassed.Then we started chatting and he told me his stories as a truck driver.

A sudden call came into Jimmy Gilleece’s bar this past March.A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive beach bar couldn’t find her wallet.She didn’t care about her ID，credit cards，or $150 in cash，but her wedding ring was just inside.
Gilleece didn’t like the idea that a theft could have happened at his place，so he spent hours searching different cameras，watching the woman’s every step until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived.Within minutes，a young man in a hoodie(连帽衫) approached the bench，put something in his pocket，and walked off.Gilleece posted a clip on the bar’s Facebook page.“I didn’t want to criticize him，” he said.“I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was.” Within hours，Gilleece got a text message from 17-year-old Rivers Prather，who admitted taking the wallet and said he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days.Thinking the ring was fake，he threw the wallet into the ocean and took the money to buy a sandwich.
Gilleece，unsure whether he believed Prather，told the teenager to meet him at the docks(码头)．There，they got to talking，and Prather said that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week.Gilleece，a father of two，took stock of(审视) Prather—his small body，his flushing(涨得通红的) cheeks—and saw him for what he was：more of a kid than a criminal.
However，the police were already on the case and because of the missing ring，Prather could be facing severe charge.Gilleece decided to help.He employed two local divers to search the waters where Prather had thrown the wallet.Meanwhile，the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen down to the station.Instead，Gilleece called the police and told them.“He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”

Dear fellow students，
Since global warming has become a serious issue，I’m writing to appeal to you to make joint efforts to protect the environment.
As we all know，it is human activities that have caused global warming，which has many negative effects on us humans.This is why we should do something to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.As students，we can walk，ride a bike or take a bus to school instead of taking a car.Besides，we should save water and electricity，dispose of waste properly and learn to recycle and reuse items.What’s more，tell the people around you to join us in protecting the environment.
Let’s work together and take action now.
Yours，
Li Hua
