If you want to know something about British life, their spirit, and even their humor, watching some classic British films will certainly help. Here are some movies recommended to you.
Notting Hill
After the success of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral(葬礼), writer and producer Richard Curtis captured the essence of being British in 1999’s Notting Hill. Set against the background of affluent (富足的) West London, the film became popular for its charming and funny portrayal (刻画) of a British nobody trying to impress a Hollywood star.
The Full Monty
This 1997 film is a Sheffield-based comedy about six unemployed men who form a group to make money for a better life. Despite its hummer, the film dives deeper into some serious issues surrounding working-class culture. The Full Monty is an uplifting film that gives an insight into the work and life of the working class in Britain.
Trainspotting
Danny Boyle’s 1996 comedy-drama Trainspotting is about a group of Scots in the 1980s, based on the book by Irvine Welsh. With a cast of truly great actors including Ewan MeGregor, the tale impressed the audience globally. It rapidly became a critical success.

Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of milkweed seedlings (马利筋草苗) so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis (茧) from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.
She’s now given out about 1,000 milkweed seedlings to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours.
Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed because it’s the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows swamp milkweed. It is far less unruly (难以控制的) than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in N.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.
This year, Burchill’s growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute.
Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot (盆) of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens.
“When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn’t have full sun they can’t do that,” Burchill said.
Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbours. “We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad Nick Burchill. “Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”
Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she’s still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow.
24．What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies?
A．Her monarch project. B．Her aunt’s suggestion.
C．Her research on the butterflies. D．Her experience in her aunt’s garden.
25．Why does Burchill plant swamp milkweed?
A．It is becoming endangered. B．It widely grows in her hometown.
C．It is much safer than common milkweed. D．It is recognised by the N.S. government.
26．What is the attitude of Burchill’s father towards her action?
A．Uninterested. B．Supportive.
C．Doubtful. D．Worried.
27．Which of the following can best describe Burchill?
A．Kind and helpful. B．Brave and honest.
C．Strict and creative. D．Careful and easygoing.
C
A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world.
Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers.
Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.”
Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.
“Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.”
28．Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors?
A．The purple of ripe grapes.
B．The blue of butterfly wings.
C．The orange of bright rainbows.
D．The green of peacocks’ feathers.
29．What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A．Attractive. B．Harmful. C．Neutral. D．Useless.
30．Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint?
A．Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. B．Colorless, healthy and artificial.
C．Traditional, healthy and cooling. D．Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly.
31．What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially.
B．Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings.
C．Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved.
D．The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.
D
It seems there’s nowhere left to run from the microplastic (微塑料的) pollution. A small pilot study recently took microplastics from one of Europe’s most distant places, the French Pyrenees mountains, and found as many microplastics in the soil as you might expect from a big city like Paris.
The reason? The wind. Researchers now fear that our planet’s winds can pick up microplastics from about anywhere and transport them around the world, sometimes in large quantities. “We’d kind of expected it in a city getting blown around,” said Steve Allen from the University of Strathclyde in the UK, one member of the team. “But way up there? We expected to find some,” he said. “We didn’t expect to find so many.”
Microplastics are pieces smaller than a fifth of an inch that have broken down from larger pieces of plastic. The forces of nature don’t distinguish (区分) between materials like stones and rocks, and plastics. Wind and waves hit plastics and break them down just the same, making them into dust that can then get swept up by the gentle wind and into the atmosphere. It’s a continuing environmental concern, as more and more microplastics find their way into our food and air.
The fact that microplastics can be found in large numbers even in distant places is a sign that is has become a global pollution problem. Steve Allen and his team set up collectors 4,500 feet up in the mountains for five months to trap plastic particles (粒子) as they fell to the Earth. The team found that an average of 365 plastic particles fell on their square meter collector daily. This included bits from plastic bags, plastic film and packaging material, among other plastic sources. Many of these materials were small enough to be breathed in without even realizing it. They’re in the air, and they’re everywhere.
32．What did Steve Allen think of the finding?
A．Interesting. B．Boring.
C．Surprising. D．Disappointing.
33．What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．How the microplastics come into being. B．How the wind spreads the microplastics.
C．How the microplastic pollution appears. D．How the wind makes the pollution serious.
34．What do we know about the plastic particles?
A．It is difficult to collect them. B．They all come from big cities.
C．They are part of the air we breathe. D．It is impossible to know their source.
35．What is the text mainly about?
A．Plastics have been found in the distant areas. B．Plastics are proved to do great harm to the soil.
C．The microplastic pollution is worse in big cities. D．Wind is carrying microplastics around the world.

Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. 36 This means you can store all your digital things remotely, without taking up space on your computer. There are two options available: public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users; private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment.
37 Once you have registered and set up your account, you simply save your files via the internet using your user name and password. This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else. Should you choose, you can put certain permissions in place, which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family.
When you sign up to cloud storage, you can choose the amount of space you need. 38 You can store anything digital: all your files, videos and pictures. Whether you want to use this storage solution to store your family photographs or you want to use it to store your work documentation, you will find it quite convenient.
Is it better than your computer or an external drive? The answer is a definite yes. Computers crash all the time. 39 External hard drives can still break, or fail. Here you also have the added risk of misplacing it or having it stolen. There are so many advantages to cloud computing, from the ability to access your data from wherever, whenever, to not needing expensive external storage devices. 40
A．Cloud storage is very simple to use.
B．You will find cloud storage very cheap.
C．It enables you to store your data on hosted servers.
D．It is the least thing people like to meet during work.
E．This is the most common cause of lost work and memories.
F．You can start with a small amount and increase the storage size later on.
G．The only disadvantage, however, is that you need internet to access files.

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。
When I entered high school, our teacher told us that we were supposed to do some volunteer work to enrich our high school life and prepare ourselves for university. Upon hearing this, I got excited and decided that I would take part in this valuable activity. I applied to be a volunteer at Yeda Hospital, one of the biggest and busiest hospitals in our city. Fortunately, I was accepted! Joy flooded over me.
I woke up early in the morning and couldn’t wait to head for the hospital, hoping to serve people in need with a big smile. At around 7:30 a.m., all the volunteers gathered as planned. I was overwhelmed with excitement as I entered the hospital. We were warmly greeted by the hospital staff. Then volunteers were arranged different tasks—cleaning rooms, guiding patients to their destinations, helping old people fill in forms and so on. Because I was good at operating computers, I was sent to be in charge of the self-service payment machines, which are designed for people to buy medicine and instantly pay their hospital bills.
Volunteering from 7:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. in the hospital made me very happy. Everyone I offered help to thanked me over and over again. However, most of the people in the hospital had worried faces, and I seldom spotted a smile. It was a little disappointing, but I tried to understand. They might have been tired out taking care of patients. I continued to concentrate on my assigned task, helping plenty of people—especially the older ones who couldn’t use advanced technology. As time went by, I felt tired and bored.

【原文】
Children from more than 180,000 families in China can now go on an online tour of ten world-famous museums through online broadcast. The families each need to pay 19.9 yuan for that. In 174 classrooms in Chinese villages, students can watch it for free. Miss Ma is a teacher in a village school in Sichuan. She says the children there have never visited a museum. For some of them, even going to the closest library in town is difficult. The museum project shows how online broadcast can help improve education. The technology has already been widely used for entertainment. However, it is not until recently that it has been used for education. The project has proved to be a success, but there’s still a problem — people haven’t worked out how to make these online tours interesting.

Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of milkweed seedlings (马利筋草苗) so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis (茧) from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.
She’s now given out about 1,000 milkweed seedlings to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours.
Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed because it’s the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows swamp milkweed. It is far less unruly (难以控制的) than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in N.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.
This year, Burchill’s growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute.
Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot (盆) of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens.
“When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn’t have full sun they can’t do that,” Burchill said.
Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbours. “We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad Nick Burchill. “Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”
Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she’s still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow.
24．What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies?
A．Her monarch project. B．Her aunt’s suggestion.
C．Her research on the butterflies. D．Her experience in her aunt’s garden.
25．Why does Burchill plant swamp milkweed?
A．It is becoming endangered. B．It widely grows in her hometown.
C．It is much safer than common milkweed. D．It is recognised by the N.S. government.
26．What is the attitude of Burchill’s father towards her action?
A．Uninterested. B．Supportive.
C．Doubtful. D．Worried.
27．Which of the following can best describe Burchill?
A．Kind and helpful. B．Brave and honest.
C．Strict and creative. D．Careful and easygoing.
【参考答案】
24．D 25．C 26．B 27．A

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了12岁的女孩Vanessa Burchill正在种植并送出数百株马利筋，这样濒临灭绝的帝王蝶就有了安全的降落之地。文章还介绍了她拯救帝王蝶的经过以及取得的成就。
【详情解析】
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.(她拯救帝王蝶的计划始于大约三年前，当时她的姑姑给她看了花园里的一只蝶蛹。她惊奇地看到一只蝴蝶出现了，它擦干了翅膀)”可知，在姑姑花园的经历促使Burchill去拯救帝王蝶。故选D。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段“Burchill grows wetland milkweed. It is far less controllable than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in U.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.(Burchill种植湿地马利筋。它远不如普通的马利筋(马利筋的表亲)可控。普通马利筋在美国被认为是一种有害的杂草，它经常被人用化学物质杀死)”可知，Burchill要种植湿地马利筋是因为它比普通马利筋安全得多。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad, Nick Burchill. ‘‘Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”(“我们为她感到骄傲，她很专注，”她的父亲Nick Burchill说。“希望这将为帝王蝶创造一条良好的道路。”) ”可推知，Burchill的父亲对她的行为持支持态度。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据第一段“She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.(她惊奇地看到一只蝴蝶出现了，它擦干了翅膀)”说明Burchill很善良。文章第五段讲到“Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot (盆) of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens. (任何人都可以在脸书上给她发信息免费获得一盆马利筋草。每个花盆有四种小植物，鼓励人们把它们放在花园里阳光充足的地方。)”可知，Burchill乐于助人。因此Burchill善良且乐于助人。故选A。

A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world.
Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers.
Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.”
Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.
“Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.”
28．Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors?
A．The purple of ripe grapes.
B．The blue of butterfly wings.
C．The orange of bright rainbows.
D．The green of peacocks’ feathers.
29．What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A．Attractive. B．Harmful. C．Neutral. D．Useless.
30．Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint?
A．Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. B．Colorless, healthy and artificial.
C．Traditional, healthy and cooling. D．Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly.
31．What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially.
B．Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings.
C．Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved.
D．The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.

这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料。这种涂料无需人工合成色素，模仿自然界光反射的原理而形成鲜亮的色彩，同时具备不吸收热量的优点，可以让人们在日益变暖的环境下享受多彩，健康、清凉的生活。
【详情解析】
28．推理判断题。根据第二段“Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. (结构色彩不是通过传统的色素沉着创造出来的，而是通过无色材料的排列以特定的方式反射光线，就像雨后彩虹的形成一样。想想你见过的最美丽的颜色——森林绿、酒红或水晶蓝，然而，其中一些几乎是不可能人工重现的。这是因为这些美丽的颜色不是通过颜料实现的——它们都在结构中，就像孔雀羽毛的绿色一样。)”以及第三段“Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. (想想那些吃了樱桃后你的嘴会变红，或者你的牛仔裤因为坐在潮湿的草地上而变绿。这些是颜料。)”可知，A选项的葡萄与文章中的樱桃及草相似，含有色素，是非结构色，故选A。
29．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials. (我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色。)”可知，使用此类涂料会污染自然环境，是有害的，划线单词的含义是“有害的”。A. Attractive吸引人的；B. Harmful有害的；C. Neutral中性的；D. Useless无用的。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” (为了创造这些颜色，合成材料如重金属被用来创造生动的颜料。Chanda强调说：“深蓝色需要钴；深红色需要镉。它们是有毒的。我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色。”)”和第四段“Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. (除了结构所能提供的美丽色彩和安全性之外，Chanda还发现，与颜料不同，结构涂料不吸收热量，而是将光反射回去。这就是为什么人们被建议在炎热的天气里穿浅色的衣服，以及为什么许多建筑物被漆成白色。这意味着这种环保涂料可以帮助社区在日益变暖的气候中保持凉爽。)”可知，新研发的这种涂料的优势在于它模仿自然界的结构色，无需吸收热量就能反射光线创造出鲜明的颜色，而且是基于非毒性材料制成的。因此，选项A“Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. (鲜艳、环保且具有降温效果)”最能全面概括这种新涂料的优点。 故选A项。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. (佛罗里达州的一组研究人员可能刚刚创造了世界上最酷的涂料。)”和末段的“I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment. (我希望这种涂料能成为未来更健康、更凉爽的环境。)”可知，研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料，使用结构色能帮助人们享受更凉爽和健康的生活。故选D项。

It seems there’s nowhere left to run from the microplastic (微塑料的) pollution. A small pilot study recently took microplastics from one of Europe’s most distant places, the French Pyrenees mountains, and found as many microplastics in the soil as you might expect from a big city like Paris.
The reason? The wind. Researchers now fear that our planet’s winds can pick up microplastics from about anywhere and transport them around the world, sometimes in large quantities. “We’d kind of expected it in a city getting blown around,” said Steve Allen from the University of Strathclyde in the UK, one member of the team. “But way up there? We expected to find some,” he said. “We didn’t expect to find so many.”
Microplastics are pieces smaller than a fifth of an inch that have broken down from larger pieces of plastic. The forces of nature don’t distinguish (区分) between materials like stones and rocks, and plastics. Wind and waves hit plastics and break them down just the same, making them into dust that can then get swept up by the gentle wind and into the atmosphere. It’s a continuing environmental concern, as more and more microplastics find their way into our food and air.
The fact that microplastics can be found in large numbers even in distant places is a sign that is has become a global pollution problem. Steve Allen and his team set up collectors 4,500 feet up in the mountains for five months to trap plastic particles (粒子) as they fell to the Earth. The team found that an average of 365 plastic particles fell on their square meter collector daily. This included bits from plastic bags, plastic film and packaging material, among other plastic sources. Many of these materials were small enough to be breathed in without even realizing it. They’re in the air, and they’re everywhere.
32．What did Steve Allen think of the finding?
A．Interesting. B．Boring.
C．Surprising. D．Disappointing.
33．What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．How the microplastics come into being. B．How the wind spreads the microplastics.
C．How the microplastic pollution appears. D．How the wind makes the pollution serious.
34．What do we know about the plastic particles?
A．It is difficult to collect them. B．They all come from big cities.
C．They are part of the air we breathe. D．It is impossible to know their source.
35．What is the text mainly about?
A．Plastics have been found in the distant areas. B．Plastics are proved to do great harm to the soil.
C．The microplastic pollution is worse in big cities. D．Wind is carrying microplastics around the world.

32．推理判断题。根据第二段中““We’d kind of expected it in a city getting blown around,” said Steve Allen from the University of Strathclyde in the UK, one member of the team. “But way up there? We expected to find some,” he said. “We didn’t expect to find so many.” (研究小组成员之一、英国斯特拉斯克莱德大学的Steve Allen说：“我们本以为它（微塑料）会在一个被风吹来吹去的城市里出现。但那里呢？我们希望能找到一些。我们没料到会发现这么多。”)”可知，Steve Allen没想到在遥远的法国比利牛斯山脉会发现这么多的微塑料。由此可知，他认为他们的发现是令人惊讶的。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The forces of nature don’t distinguish (区分) between materials like stones and rocks, and plastics. Wind and waves hit plastics and break them down just the same, making them into dust that can then get swept up by the gentle wind and into the atmosphere. (大自然的力量无法区分石头、岩石和塑料等材料。风和海浪撞击塑料并将它们分解，使它们变成灰尘，然后被微风吹到大气中)”可知，在本段我们可以了解到风是如何传播微塑料的。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many of these materials were small enough to be breathed in without even realizing it. They’re in the air, and they’re everywhere. (这些物质中有许多小到可以被人吸入而不自知。它们在空气中，无处不在)”可知，微塑料已经成为我们呼吸的空气中的一部分。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A small pilot study recently took microplastics from one of Europe’s most distant places, the French Pyrenees mountains, and found as many microplastics in the soil as you might expect from a big city like Paris. (最近，一项小型试点研究从欧洲最遥远的地方之一——法国比利牛斯山脉——采集了微塑料，在土壤中发现的微塑料数量与巴黎这样的大城市一样多)”和最后一段中“The fact that microplastics can be found in large numbers even in distant places is a sign that is has become a global pollution problem. (即使在遥远的地方也能发现大量的微塑料，这一事实表明它已成为一个全球性的污染问题)”可知，文章围绕一项有关微塑料的研究展开，研究人员在偏远地区如法国比利牛斯山脉也发现了数量惊人的微塑料。故选A项。

【参考答案】
Dear Jim,
I’m glad to share with you about my strong interest in moon exploration.
It started with what I had been told about the moon as a kid. In Chinese culture, the moon is a symbol of beauty and purity. Also, it reminds people of their family and friends far away.
Humans have never stopped exploring our closest neighbor, which I believe is of great significance. The development of relevant technology promotes the progress of science in general, which benefits our everyday life. What’s more, I think moon exploration shows an important human trait — curiosity about the unknown, which is the driving force that has brought our humans this far.
What do you usually think about when you gaze at the moon?
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
When I entered high school, our teacher told us that we were supposed to do some volunteer work to enrich our high school life and prepare ourselves for university. Upon hearing this, I got excited and decided that I would take part in this valuable activity. I applied to be a volunteer at Yeda Hospital, one of the biggest and busiest hospitals in our city. Fortunately, I was accepted! Joy flooded over me.
I woke up early in the morning and couldn’t wait to head for the hospital, hoping to serve people in need with a big smile. At around 7:30 a.m., all the volunteers gathered as planned. I was overwhelmed with excitement as I entered the hospital. We were warmly greeted by the hospital staff. Then volunteers were arranged different tasks—cleaning rooms, guiding patients to their destinations, helping old people fill in forms and so on. Because I was good at operating computers, I was sent to be in charge of the self-service payment machines, which are designed for people to buy medicine and instantly pay their hospital bills.
Volunteering from 7:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. in the hospital made me very happy. Everyone I offered help to thanked me over and over again. However, most of the people in the hospital had worried faces, and I seldom spotted a smile. It was a little disappointing, but I tried to understand. They might have been tired out taking care of patients. I continued to concentrate on my assigned task, helping plenty of people—especially the older ones who couldn’t use advanced technology. As time went by, I felt tired and bored.

【参考答案】
Suddenly, I noticed a foreigner standing beside the machine with a confused look. I approached him with a smile, asking if he needed any assistance. He looked relieved and explained that he was trying to pay for his wife’s medication but couldn’t understand the instructions on the screen. I guided him through each step, translating the Chinese prompts into English and ensuring he understood how to complete the transaction. His gratitude was evident as he thanked me profusely, and for the first time that day, I saw a genuine smile on someone’s face in the hospital.
That moment really touched my heart. It made me realize that even small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in someone’s day. As the day progressed, I continued to assist more people, each interaction adding a bit more warmth to the otherwise clinical environment. By the end of my shift, I felt a profound sense of satisfaction. Volunteering at Yeda Hospital not only enriched my high school life but also taught me valuable lessons about compassion and the impact of simple gestures. I knew that these experiences would stay with me as I prepared for university and beyond, shaping me into a more understanding and caring individual.
