Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun.
For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.
“I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.”
It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened.
Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.”
24．What might be a problem Lagos is facing
A．Insufficient public areas. B．Poor garbage management.
C．Limited recreational activities. D．Uncontrolled population growth.
25．What made Amara determined to build parks
A．Losses from natural disasters.
B．People’s ignorance of climate change.
C．Disappointment in government failure.
D．Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education.
26．What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project
A．Integrity . B．Optimism. C．Flexibility. D．Confidence.
27．What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph
A．Small steps make a big difference. B．Every cloud has a silver lining.
C．All roads lead to Rome. D．It is never too late to act.
C
Sir David Attenborough, a television presenter, said, “The plastic in our oceans ought never to have got there in the first place. Much of it perhaps ought not to have even been manufactured at all.” The first statement is reasonable, but the second is not.
Although the drawbacks of the world’s reliance on plastics are all too apparent, the benefits they provide are all too easily overlooked. Take food as an example. Plastic packaging prevents foodstuffs from spoiling, making possible global trade in meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. It enables essentials like rice, cooking oil and powdered milk to be stored and distributed safely and cheaply. A one-litre plastic bottle weighs 5% as much as a glass one; plastic packaging thus reduces shipping costs and emissions.
To deal with the threat of pollution, the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The proportion of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realize.
One result is that many rich countries export their waste for “recycling” in poorer countries which are not equipped to deal with their own often voluminous plastic-waste problems, let alone anyone else’s.
Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often portrayed. Incinerators (焚烧炉) are a useful option too, though they are also unpopular. The good news is that Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons released from waste incineration back into plastic feedstock. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow—and so is the potential for managing the costs.
28．What is the author’s attitude towards Attenborough’s view
A．Totally ignorant. B．Fully supportive.
C．Strongly opposed. D．Partially approving.
29．Why does the author mention the weight of a plastic bottle in paragraph 2
A．To show bottles are easy to carry.
B．To compare plastics’ durability with glass.
C．To highlight the cost-effectiveness of plastics.
D．To prove the essential role of plastics in global trade.
30．What mainly accounts for the low recycling rates
A．Public indifference. B．Technical difficulties.
C．Insufficient global cooperation. D．Inadequate government funding.
31．What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage
A．Our ability to handle its downsides is underestimated.
B．The drawbacks of plastics far outweigh their advantages.
C．People see huge potential to remove plastic pollution costs.
D．High waste management costs prevent enjoying plastic benefits.
D
Hard plastic made from bamboo is as strong and durable as conventional plastics used in household appliances and vehicle parts, while also being recyclable and able to break down naturally under suitable conditions.
Plastics produced from biological sources are becoming more popular, yet they still account for only a small share each year. This is partly because many bioplastics lack the strength of oil-based plastics and are difficult to use in standard industrial processes, limiting their wider adoption.
Zhao Dawei and his colleagues of Shenyang University of Chemical Technology in China have developed a new plastic made from bamboo, which can match or even exceed the properties of widely used plastics. Zhao explains that bamboo grows rapidly and is a renewable alternative, although its applications have long been limited to simple woven or low-strength products.
To produce the new material, the team treated bamboo with zinc chloride (氯化锌) and a mild acid, breaking it down into smaller cell units. Ethanol (乙醇) was then added, allowing these units to rearrange into a strong, solid plastic. According to Andrew Dove at the University of Birmingham, the resulting material shows strength comparable to common engineering plastics used in vehicles, appliances and construction.
However, its rigidity limits the range of practical uses. Andrew Dove notes that it is unlikely to replace major packaging plastics such as polyethylene (聚乙烯) and polypropylene (聚丙烯), which have greater flexibility. Instead, the new material may help reduce pressure on resources in certain areas.
Although the material is currently more expensive than widely used plastics, Zhao’s team found that it can be fully recycled while retaining around 90 per cent of its original strength. The researchers also report that it can break down naturally within about 50 days, while traditional plastics take hundreds of years.
32．What problem with existing bioplastics is highlighted in the passage
A．High production cost. B．Insufficient raw materials.
C．Limited mechanical strength. D．Slow technological progress.
33．What is the purpose of introducing Zhao Dawei and his team
A．To present a research solution. B．To compare recycling technologies.
C．To describe academic collaboration. D．To highlight the value of bamboo.
34．What does the underlined word “rigidity” most nearly mean
A．Flexibility. B．Hardness. C．Quality. D．Weight.
35．What can be learnt about the bioplastic according to the text
A．It can break down sooner. B．It is cheap and convenient.
C．It is both flexible and tough. D．It can be used in all industries.

Save the Earth from Declining Biodiversity
Plants and animals depend on each other for survival. Find out why this biodiversity is so important and how you can help.
Skip the selfie (自拍照).
Riding elephants, holding monkeys, and taking photos with little lion might seem fun, but these animals might have been caught from the wild and aren’t being properly cared for. Avoid these activities on vacation unless you know the group is trustworthy and not treating animals cruelly. 36
Stand up for scary animals.
Some people are afraid of animals like wolves, sharks, and bats and try to harm them. 37 Because they keep their habitats healthy. So tell everyone how amazing they are.
Bad plants.
38 They can destroy native species and shake up the whole ecosystem. You can help. Sign up to help remove invasive plants at a local park or nature centre.
Lights off.
Birds can become confused by bright nighttime lights, causing them to crash into windows or fly in circles until they’re very tired. 39 You can also talk to your parents about turning off the lights at their high-rise offices.
40 Bring binoculars (望远镜) on an outdoor adventure to enjoy wildlife from afar. That way you don’t disturb animals, which can change their behaviour. Critters (生物) are better off spending energy looking for food or caring for young — not hiding from you!
A．Look — Don’t touch.
B．But these animals are super important.
C．A large number of birds die from these.
D．We should make an effort to protect local species.
E．Ask your parents not to “like” similar photos on social media.
F．Invasive species are plants and animals that don’t belong in a habitat.
G．Turn off unnecessary lights at night in the spring and fall when birds are migrating.

Before I was born, my father toured the U.S. by motorcycle. He chose cloth patches (布贴) as his souvenirs because they were inexpensive and reflective of the places he’d 41 — not to mention small and lightweight, which was important given how little 42 he had in his motorcycle’s saddlebags (挂包).
Throughout my childhood, he looked for patches to 43 his collection everywhere we went. I picked up the 44 at age 18 and still seek out patches today. I currently have a camera bag and a jacket covered in patches. Using these items makes me 45 because they remind me of past travels, and they’re a great conversation piece. Because they become 46 items, they’re not going to end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场) anytime soon.
My 47 on collecting patches also saves me money when I travel. They’re generally 48 . When I buy a patch, I’m less likely to spend money on pricey clothes.
Not every place sells patches, however. When that 49 , I turn to DIY souvenirs — 50 , some of the best souvenirs aren’t bought; they`re 51 . Many places allow me to learn how to blow glass or create other items as part of the 52 . I can then 53 these unique pieces with my friends back home.

Jane Goodall: A Lifelong Guardian of Chimpanzees
Jane Goodall, 56 has dedicated her life to wildlife conservation, set out for Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park in 1960 with 57 simple but bold goal: to study chimpanzees in their natural home. She chose to combine scientific precision with heartfelt empathy (共情) —a rare approach that let her observe chimpanzees as they 58 (wander) through forests, gathered food, and formed close social bonds.
Goodall was among the first 59 (acknowledge) that chimpanzees share complex emotions with humans, a discovery 60 challenged early beliefs about animal intelligence. Her work remains deeply relevant 61 today’s environmental struggles, as it highlights how human activities harm wildlife habitats. 62 (apparent), she also has a 63 (prefer) for empowering young people; she occupies much of her time with Roots & Shoots, a program that teaches youth to protect nature and build a sustainable future.
What makes her efforts so 64 (significance) is her ability to appeal to people worldwide — from scientists to ordinary citizens — with stories of Gombe’s chimpanzees. Her work has potentially inspired millions to care more about the planet, 65 (prove) that one person’s passion can spark lasting change for all living beings.

67．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。
There was a busy street corner beside a bus station. Pupils changed buses going to or from school there. This small area was anything but appealing: loud cars and buses passed by, and tall gray buildings looked like big stone giants.
Peter was one of the kids who had to wait here for nine and a half minutes each day to change buses. The station had a strong gas smell. The land nearby, maybe once a garden, was now full of trash — cans, paper bags, and chicken boxes. Weeds (草) grew wild all around them. There was nowhere nice to walk and nothing to look at. Hanging around like that each day almost drove Peter mad. Most kids wasted their time complaining (抱怨) about all the mess, but Peter felt restless. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable and its bus routes but he could make these waiting minutes more enjoyable for himself and others.
He asked his mom for a pair of gloves and some trash bags. That week, he filled his nine minutes each day by picking up the waste. As he piled the waste into bags, “Why trouble yourself It’ll just get dirty again!” his classmates laughed at him, casually throwing used tissues, candy wrappers and cans around. Silent for a while, Peter continued picking up the waste his classmates dropped, thinking, “It seems like an impossible dream to change this deserted land. Should I give up just as my classmates said ”
One afternoon, an elderly man approached Peter. “I used to garden here years ago,” he said, handing Peter some sunflower seeds (种子). “Perhaps you can plant these. You know, sunflowers grow easily in hard environments.” Inspired by the elderly man, Peter saw hope again. The next week, Peter occupied himself weeding the field and soon this piece of land was cleared up.
注意：1、续写词数应为150个左右；
2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

22．细节理解题。根据Invasive Plant Patrol部分“runs rain or shine(风雨无阻照常开展)”可知，入侵植物巡查活动不受天气影响，正常举行。其余三项活动均可能因恶劣天气取消或推迟。
23．推理判断题。根据首段“The One Tam partnership unites several park organizations to protect the land... It has planned a series of summer outdoor activities for community members(One Tam合作项目联合了多家公园机构共同保护这片土地……它为社区居民策划了一系列夏季户外活动。)”可知，这些活动的目的是让民众参与保护塔马尔派斯山。
【答案】24．A 25．B 26．C 27．A
【分析】文章讲述少女阿玛拉在拉各斯将垃圾场改造成公园，以此唤醒民众气候保护意识并带动更多公益行动。
【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play.(这样的场景在拉各斯很少见，它是非洲发展最快的城市之一，人口约1700万。但在城市郊区，一个由垃圾场改造的公园正在为孩子们提供玩耍的空间)”可知，拉各斯面临的问题是公共活动区域不足。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s ‘climate apathy’: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.(但后来，她意识到这就是所谓的尼日利亚的‘气候冷漠’：人们倾向于将洪水、热浪和干旱视为孤立事件，而非地球变暖带来的后果)”以及第三段“I wanted to change the mindset. If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it.(我想要改变这种心态。如果人们感受不到与自然的联系，就不会主动去保护自然)”可知，人们对气候变化的漠视态度，让阿玛拉下定决心修建公园唤醒大家。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段“Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities.(阿玛拉最初联系了拉各斯州政府，政府提供了土地但施加了限制条件，导致长期施工无法开展。历经数月碰壁后，她转变策略，开始寻找高危社区周边的备选场地)”可知，遇到阻碍后她及时调整办法，体现出灵活变通的品质。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.(我付诸行动，其他人看到后，也想要行动。众人同心，力量就会不断壮大)”可知，阿玛拉想表达微小行动积累起来就能产生巨大影响。

【分析】主要论述塑料虽带来海洋污染问题，但益处不容忽视，应当通过科学方式管理塑料而非直接禁止。
【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The first statement is reasonable, but the second is not.(第一种说法是合理的，但第二种说法并不合理。)”可知，作者对阿滕伯勒的观点部分赞同。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A one litre plastic bottle weighs 5% as much as a glass one; plastic packaging thus reduces shipping costs and emissions.(一升塑料瓶重量仅为玻璃瓶的5%；因此塑料包装降低运输成本与排放。)”可知，作者列举塑料瓶重量是为突出塑料具备成本效益。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realize.(这并非人们不关心地球，而是回收比大多数人想象得更困难、成本更高。)”可知，回收率低下主要源于技术层面的困难。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs.(说到塑料，其益处远比大多数人愿意承认的要大——管控其代价的潜力也是如此。)”可知，作者暗示我们处理塑料弊端的能力被低估。
【答案】32．C 33．A 34．B 35．A
【分析】文章介绍了新型竹制生物塑料的性能、制作工艺、现存短板及优势，对比传统生物塑料与普通塑料，展现其环保应用价值。
【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This is partly because many bioplastics lack the strength of oil-based plastics and are difficult to use in standard industrial processes, limiting their wider adoption.(这部分是因为许多生物塑料缺乏油基塑料的强度，且难以应用于标准工业流程，限制了它们的广泛应用)”可知，现有生物塑料存在的问题是机械强度有限。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This is partly because many bioplastics lack the strength of oil-based plastics and are difficult to use in standard industrial processes, limiting their wider adoption.(这部分是因为许多生物塑料缺乏油基塑料的强度，且难以应用于标准工业流程，限制了它们的广泛应用)”和第三段中的“Zhao Dawei and his colleagues of Shenyang University of Chemical Technology in China have developed a new plastic made from bamboo, which can match or even exceed the properties of widely used plastics.(中国沈阳化工大学的赵大伟（音译）及其同事研发出一种新型竹制塑料，其性能可以媲美甚至超越广泛使用的塑料)”可知，文章介绍该团队是为了展示解决传统生物塑料弊端的科研方案。
34．词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Andrew Dove notes that it is unlikely to replace major packaging plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene, which have greater flexibility.(安德鲁·多夫指出，它不太可能取代聚乙烯、聚丙烯等主流包装塑料，这类塑料具备更强的柔韧性)”可知，新型塑料无法替代柔韧性更强的塑料。由此可知，新材料的短板是缺乏柔韧性、质地坚硬，因此rigidity意为“硬度、刚性”，与hardness意思相近。
35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers also report that it can break down naturally within about 50 days, while traditional plastics take hundreds of years.(研究人员还表示，它可在约五十天内自然降解，而传统塑料需要数百年时间)”可知，这种新型生物塑料比传统塑料降解速度更快。

66．【答案】范文：
Dear David,
I’m writing to share our group’s research project named Exploration of Campus Plants.
We first listed all plant species on campus, took photos and recorded their growing locations. We spent several afternoons wandering around the campus to collect first-hand information carefully. Then we looked up relevant materials and sorted out their features. We also compared the similarities and differences between various plants for deeper understanding. Finally, we made an introduction poster.
This project has benefited me a lot. Not only have I gained knowledge of plants, but I’ve also learned how to cooperate with teammates.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．【答案】Next, he took out the sunflower seeds offered by the elderly man. Peter knelt on the broken ground, loosened the soil, and carefully planted the seeds. His classmates laughed again, “Flowers can’t grow here.” But Peter watered the seeds every day. Days later, small green plants came up from the dry ground. Everyone was surprised and stopped laughing. When a hot wave hit, Peter skipped his lunch to cover the plants with cardboard. One day, a girl who used to litter brought water for the plants. Soon, other kids helped too, watering the young flowers while they waited for buses.
More kids began to help take care of the plants. Their laughter mixed with the sound of water cans. The sunflowers grew taller each day. At the end of summer, they were taller than the kids, with big yellow flowers facing the sun, as if waving at the buses and the kids around them. Butterflies flew among the flowers, and kids’ laughter filled the corner. They called the garden “Peter’s Patch”. The gas smell and traffic noise were still there, but the corner changed — it was now full of life, a place which the kids felt proud of, showing that even small changes can make a big difference.
