From the top of Mount Qomolangma to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, plastic continues to pollute the environment, and it creates a significant threat to all life forms on Earth. Despite knowing the effects of plastic pollution, we have not been able to ban the use of plastic products. Now, thanks to the invention of a 17-year-old girl, Arora, we finally have a better choice. This plastic- like material is made from prawn shells, and it breaks down 1. 5 million times faster than most of the commercial plastic products we use today.
The Australian teen first became aware of the impact of plastic waste on the environment when shopping with her mother. She wondered why her mother had to pay for the plastic bags. When asked, the cashier informed her how plastic hurts the planet and that the additional charge was there to encourage people not to use it. This inspired Arora to create
a kind of plastic that would break down faster than the conventional one.
But the journey of inventing “eco- friendly plastic” was not easy. She experimented with a number of organic materials such as cornflour and banana peels, both of which had to be ruled out because of their solubility. One night, while having dinner, she noticed that the shells of prawns look plasticky, She immediately went to the lab to research, Later, she would describe that dinner as her Eureka moment.
She extracted the material called “chitin” from the shells and then mixed it with an insoluble protein called “fibroin”, which is found in silk cocoons. Using the combination of these two organic materials, Arora created a plastic-like material that breaks down completely within just 33 days, Moreover, this plastic releases nitrogen when breaking down, which is why it can be used as plant fertilizer.
Arora’s invention has caused a stir, and she has won a number of awards. As an inspiring young woman, Arora wants to make a difference in the world, and she wants to encourage other young people to follow their passion and make a positive difference however they can.
24. What inspired Arora to create a kind of special plastic?
A. Her determination to protect the prawns.
B. A cashier’s words about paid plastic bags.
C. A class about plastic's impact on the planet.
D. Her plan to save money on plastic products.
25. What does the underlined phrase “Eureka moment” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A moment of needing reflection.
B. A moment of finding the truth,
C. A moment of enjoying the celebration,
D. A moment of having sudden inspiration.
26. What can be known about the new plastic in paragraph 4?
A. It is made from non-organic materials.
B. It can be used to help plants to grow.
C. It can break down totally in a month,
D. It is extracted from an insoluble protein.
27. Which of the following can best describe Arora?
A. Brave and clever. B. Active and considerate.
C. Creative and inspiring. D. Humorous and friendly.
C
Parenting styles have changed over the years in response to the rapid changes in the world. Whether it is tapping technology or applying the best parenting practices to meet a parenting need, parents nowadays generally invest more time in finding out how best to raise their children.
Modern parents often look to the Internet and social media for parenting advice. A parent can post questions from how to manage the constant cries of an infant to how to talk to a moody teenager, and chances are, the parent will be flooded instantly with advice and relevant articles. The availability of resources has helped modern parents engage more in their children’s development, both academically and emotionally.
A modern parenting style that has emerged is helicopter parenting, where parents are much too focused on their children. They help children with tasks they’re capable of doing on their own, like selecting activities and friends for them. Such a parenting style can hold back the development of the children’s ability to handle responsibilities independently. Children might be ill-equipped with life skills such as doing laundry(洗衣), clearing their plates or coping with their schoolwork. Always protecting children from failures may also prevent them developing adaptability and acquiring skills like problem- solving.
On the other hand, parents in the past tended to monitor less. Children weren't given more control over how to manage their schoolwork and choose their friends. They were often expected to shoulder. the responsibilities of caring for younger brothers and sisters and managing housework. Living in the pre- internet age, parents were less informed about different parenting methods, and personalities.
There is no one right way to raise a child. Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present but not wandering, who are supportive but not controlling, and who protect but not care too much.
28. What does the author explain by mentioning “an infant” and “a moody teenager” in paragraph 2?
A. Devotion to kids. B. Tricky parenting problems.
C. Effective parenting. D. Easy access to guidance,
29. What is a distinctive characteristic of helicopter parenting?
A. Flexible. B. Efficient. C. Qverinvolved. D. Conventional.
30. What do we know about parents in the past?
A. They educated kids in a rigid way,
B. They afforded kids more space for self-growth.
C. They overestimated their kids’ independence.
D. They tended to stay away from social activities.
31. What’s the author's attitude towards the two parenting modes mentioned in the passage?
A. Subjective B. Opposed C. Favorable D. Objective
D
There is a profound relationship between science fiction and science. It is often said that stories change the world, what is less often heard is that stories change science, and therefore the future.
The use of science fiction to explore our world is similar to plot planning in Futures Studies, which shapes our ideas about: the future, and goes beyond predicting artifacts that once seemed impossible to us like Verne’s submarine or the satellites of 2001 Space Odyssey.
In the words of Dutch researcher Sofia Kaloterakis, “Science fiction narratives structure our imaginative models about techno-scientific projects such as robotics or space exploration". Have you ever wondered how science fiction novels have impacted the idea we have about Artificial Intelligence or how Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson's novel, has impacted what we now call the Metaverse (元宇宙)?
Science fiction helps us define possible futures. It provides us with an understanding of the rules underlying fictional worlds. It also allows us to put technological prototypes (原型) in the context of their use by humans. But most importantly, it determines the way we structure scientific thought and intervene (干预) in the future,
Alex McDowell, creator of the Minority Report, and Peter von Stackelberg explain what fictional narratives can bring to the table;
The richness of “storyworlds”—the “universes” within which stories take place—provides us with detailed rules of the context in which a larger reality unfolds that extends beyond a single story, and has the potential to provide us with deeper learning about the underlying systems that regulate those worlds.
Lastly, the relationship of future narratives to theories such as Social Constructivism has been highlighted by several scholars. A central idea of this sociological theory is that whenever we use words or other symbols to refer to objects in our world, we are constructing them. And, therefore, prediction is also a social construction. In narrating, we intervene in the world. In narrating the world, we construct it. In writing science fiction, we intervene in the science of the future.
32. What is the text mainly about?
A. The storyworlds created by science fictions.
B. Artifacts and technologies in science fictions.
C. Science fiction narratives affecting future studies.
D. The relation between science and science fictions,
33. What is the most important role of science fiction?
A. It provides us with technologies and tools.
B. It allows us to establish reasonable future.
C. It helps us learn the rules of fictional world.
D. It decides our thinking and affects the future.
34. What do we know about “storyworlds”?
A. There are general rules for a single story.
B. They have a potential context within a story
C. There are no regulations or guiding systems.
D. They are the “universes” where stories happen.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Scholars care little about narratives about future.
B. Objects can't be constructed by words or symbols.
C. The science of future intervenes in today’s science.
D. Science fiction narratives can construct future worlds.

Efficient ways to improve your speech
Find it difficult to make a wonderful speech in public? 36
Use more facial expressions
One psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. A smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative. 37 People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea through your facial expression.
Get rid of your inner fear
38 The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear. The first is to admit it, Do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin, is to take a few deep breaths. This will help get the butterflies in formation and also keep your voice under control.
Polish your voice
Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people. So invest in a tape recorder, practice your speech by speaking it into the microphone and then listen to it. You can even have others join in the evaluation of your strong points and your weaknesses or faults as well. Simply reading a newspaper, a magazine or stories to your children out loud can help. 39
Strengthen your memory
Psychologists tell us that most individuals don't use above ten percent of their inherent capacity for memory. How to enhance the power of memory? First, have a burning desire to remember. It's difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so. 40 Our success depends greatly on our ability to concentrate. The next principle is repetition, we learned many things in school by repetition.

第二节(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。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. 1 loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice- creams or beautiful presents, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years, I had only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank, I was thinking about what I could do with it.
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。
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it.
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over.
