Raindrops are more than a source of fresh water. They also carry mechanical energy that can be used for free.
A research team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has developed a water-integrated floating
droplet electricity generator (W-DEG) that uses natural water as part of its structure, offering clean energy
harvesting.
Unlike conventional DEGs, which rely on solid ground substance and costly metal parts, the new design
allows the device to float on water. When a raindrop lands on the floating dielectric film (电介质膜), the water
beneath it provides the strength needed to absorb the impact because of its surface tension. This lets the droplet
spread more effectively across the surface. At the same time, the water layer operates as a reliable electrical
conductor. This nature-integrated design cuts the device’s weight by about 80 percent and lowers the cost by about
50 percent while maintaining similar electrical output compared to conventional systems.
Tests showed that the W-DEG continued to function under diverse temperatures and salt levels, and even in
natural lake water. These should be put down to its chemically inert ( 惰性的) dielectric layer and its naturally
flexible water-based structure. To improve reliability further, the team used water’s strong surface tension to design
holes that let water move downward. This creates a self-adjusting way to stop water from building up that could
affect performance.
The system also charged capacitors ( 电容器) to useful electric tension only within minutes, showing its
potential for powering small electronics and wireless sensors. Moreover, with continued development, similar
systems could be positioned on lakes or coastal waters, providing renewable electricity without using any land-
based space.
Although the laboratory results are encouraging, extending the service life of large dielectric films in
dynamic outdoor conditions will also require further engineering. “By letting water itself play both structural and
electrical roles, we’ve opened the door to land free systems that can supplement other renewable technologies like
solar and wind.” Professor Wanlin Guo, a corresponding author of the study said.
1．What is W-DEG aimed at?

A colorful colony of photosynthetic ( 光合的) cyanobacteria, known as blue-green algae ( 藻), has
successfully powered a computer microprocessor for more than six months, according to a study published in the
journal Energy & Environmental Science.
The algae-computer system was placed in the window of biochemist Paolo Bombell’s home. What he saw
next really blew his mind: It sat there from February to August, and all the while it was working. And even after the
microprocessor has been disconnected, the cyanobacteria device continues to produce current. “Given the right
conditions of light, temperature and water, I cannot predict when it will stop,” said Bombelli.
Cyanobacteria harvest energy from sunlight and make it into food for themselves. For this study, the
researchers put the power-providing microorganisms into a plastic and steel enclosure, about the size of an AA
battery, along with an aluminum anode (铝正极). Throughout the experiment, the connected microprocessor was
programmed to do a bunch of calculations, and then check its own work. It did this in a 45-minute period, followed
by 15 minutes of standby, continuously for months with the cyanobacteria unit as its only power source.
Even though the algae rely on a light source to feed, the bio-system continued to produce enough power to
run the microprocessor in the dark. The scientists basically put down this phenomenon to leftovers. When there was
light, the cyanobacteria cooked up an over-abundance of food, and when it was dark the microorganisms kept
chewing on the extras.
According to Chris Howe, senior author of the study, the results suggest that the little bio-based battery
alternative could serve as a way to power small electronics without rare earth elements, which are in short supply
and under growing demand. Plus, the system could also help bridge the electricity divide, providing another power
supply for people in rural areas or low-income countries.
Though the experiment’s results are promising, it’s important to keep in mind that the computer processor
tested uses very little energy — requiring only 0.3 microwatts to run. More research is needed to know exactly how
much the tiny AA-battery-sized device could scale up. Howe said, Putting one on your roof isn’t going to provide
the power supply for your house at this stage.”
1．Which of the following facts about the algae-computer system surprised Bombelli?
A．It can function without water.
B．It can convert light into power.
C．It can work for a long time.
D．It can stand high temperatures.
2．What can we learn about the bio-system from paragraph 4?
A．It stores light for later use.
B．It works normally in the dark.
C．It consumes little food in the dark.
D．It produces food for people.
3．What will the research focus on next?
A．How the device will work on the roof
B．Whether the device’s size can be reduced.
C．Whether the device can play a bigger role.
D．How the device will adapt to new environments.
4．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Future of Household Electricity Supply
B．Blue-Green Algae: A New Source of Food
C．An Algae-Powered Device Runs Computer for Months
D．A Promising Bio-Battery Creates the Miracle
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种由蓝绿藻驱动的计算机微处理器系统，该系统能长时间运行，

1．细节理解题。根据第二段“What he saw next really blew his mind: It sat there from February to August, and
all the while it was working.(接下来他所看到的让他大吃一惊：它从二月待到八月，而且一直在工作)”可知，
让Bombelli 感到惊讶的是藻类计算机系统能长时间工作。故选C 项。
2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Even though the algae rely on a light source to feed, the bio-system continued to
produce enough power to run the microprocessor in the dark.(尽管藻类依靠光源来获取食物，但生物系统在黑
暗中仍能继续产生足够的电力来运行微处理器)”可知，生物系统在黑暗中能正常工作。故选B 项。
3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Though the experiment’s results are promising, it’s important to keep in mind
that the computer processor tested uses very little energy — requiring only 0.3 microwatts to run. More research is
needed to know exactly how much the tiny AA-battery-sized device could scale up.(尽管实验结果很有希望，但
重要的是要记住，测试的计算机处理器消耗的能量非常少——运行仅需要0.3 微瓦。需要更多的研究来确
切知道这个微小的AA 电池大小的设备能扩大到什么程度)”可知，接下来的研究将关注这个设备是否能发

One person’s trash is another person’s… jet fuel? Strange as it might sound, researchers at the University of
Illinois Urbana-Champaign outlined a strategy for turning excess food waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF),
which largely refers to fuels extracted from organic materials. The fuel can go straight into a plane without
additional changes to the aircraft’s basic facilities.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that transportation accounted for
roughly 29 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 alone. Modern cars have reduced emissions in recent
years, in part thanks to the shift toward electric battery power, while battery-powered airplanes don’t provide
enough energy to power a large size and long flight time of passenger jet. As a result, jets have fallen behind cars in
reducing emissions.
In the experiment, the team started by collecting food waste from food-processing plants. They then used a
chemical process called hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) to extract crude oil (原油) from the food waste. After
that, they removed the impurities and other undesirable elements through a two-part process. What remained were
then refined into jet fuel, SAF.
The fuel passed the screening test and met industry requirements. Some estimates suggest that SAF could
reduce emissions by up to 80 percent, compared to conventional jet fuel. The finding opens up the possibility to
help the aviation industry achieve net-zero carbon emissions within the next three decades. “In a linear economy,
we just produce something, use it, and throw it away. In this project, we take the waste and recover the energy and
materials to make a usable product. This fills a missing link in the circular economy,” the professor Yuanhui Zhang
in the university said.
The research helps solve the science and engineering problems. It is a first step to show aviation fuel
extracted from food waste is possible. Actually making enough of it to supply an entire passenger jet, however, is
another beast altogether. Scaling up at this level needs time, resources, and deep pockets outside of academia.
1．How does the author present the need to solve aircraft pollution?
A．By giving examples.
B．By quoting an expert.
C．By defining a concept.
D．By making a comparison.
2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Why HTL is used.
B．How SAF is made.
C．What biofuel refers to.
D．Where crude oil is from.
3．Why does the author quote Yuanhui Zhang’s words?
A．To define a new type of economy model.
B．To present the test results of the jet fuel.
C．To stress the sustainability of SAF production.
D．To confirm SAF’s effect on emission reduction.
4．What can we learn about the new fuel according to the last paragraph?
A．Its application is around the corner.
B．Its academic research hits a bottleneck.
C．Its mass production needs much investment.
D．Its success relies on international cooperation.

toward electric battery power, while battery-powered airplanes don’t provide enough energy to power a large size
and long flight time of passenger jet. As a result, jets have fallen behind cars in reducing emissions.(近年来，现代
汽车减少了排放，部分原因在于向电动电池动力的转变，而电池驱动的飞机无法为大型且飞行时间长的客
机提供足够的动力。因此，飞机在减少排放方面已经落后于汽车。)”可知，作者将飞机与汽车在减排方面
的进展进行了对比，从而说明解决飞机污染的必要性。故选D。
2．主旨大意题。根据第3 段中“In the experiment, the team started by collecting food waste(在实验中，研究
团队首先收集食物垃圾)”，“They then used a chemical process called hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) to
extract crude oil from the food waste. After that, they removed the impurities(然后，他们使用一种称为水热液化
(HTL)的化学过程从食物垃圾中提取原油。之后，他们通过一个分为两个部分的过程去除杂质)”和“What
remained were then refined into jet fuel, SAF.(剩下的部分随后被提炼成航空燃料，即SAF。)”可知，本段详
细描述了从食物垃圾到SAF 燃料的逐步制作过程。故选B。
3．推理判断题。根据第4 段中Yuanhui Zhang 所说的话“In a linear economy, we just produce something, use
it, and throw it away. In this project, we take the waste and recover the energy and materials to make a usable

这个项目中，我们利用废弃物，回收能源和材料来制造可用的产品。这填补了循环经济中缺失的一环。)”
可知，引用该专家的话是为了强调这项技术将废物转化为有用产品的可持续性，即SAF 生产过程的可持续
性。故选C。
4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Scaling up at this level needs time, resources, and deep pockets outside of
academia.(在这一水平上扩大规模需要时间、资源以及学术界之外雄厚的资金支持。)”可知，大规模生产需
要大量（时间、资源、资金的）投入。故选C。

A report from Ember, a research group, found that in the first half of 2025, renewable energy produced more
electricity than coal did across the world. Renewable energy comes from natural sources that don’t run out, such as
the Sun or wind. Coal has been the main way to make electricity on Earth for more than 100 years. Formed over
millions of years from dead plant matter, the black lump is burned in power stations to heat water and create steam.
This turns structures called turbines (涡轮机), and the energy from the movement is turned into electricity.
When coal is burned, it releases gases including carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change.
Scientists say humans must reduce their use of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, in order to stop climate
change from getting worse. One step people are taking is using electric vehicles instead of cars fueled by gas. But if
the electricity used to charge the vehicles is still generated from coal, it will not be beneficial to the planet.
The first half of 2025 marked a milestone in global energy: renewable sources accounted for 34.3% of
electricity generation, exceeding coal at 33.1%. This change was primarily driven by reduced coal use in China and
India, the world’s top electricity consumers. Critically, this development contributed to a 4.5% drop in power sector
carbon emissions globally, showing its environmental impact. The growth was led by a rapid growth in solar and
wind, which together supplied a record 18.2% of global electricity, with China alone accounting for over half of the
new solar capacity.
“We are seeing the first signs of a crucial shift,” said Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka from Ember. “Solar and
wind are now growing fast enough to meet the world’s growing appetite for electricity.”
1．What do the underlined words “the black lump” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Solid coal.
B．Dead plant matter.
C．Power from turbines.
D．Energy from the movement.
2．Why do scientists suggest reducing the use of fossil fuels?
A．To make electric vehicles more popular.
B．To lower the cost of generating electricity.
C．To prevent the worsening of climate change.
D．To better study the effects of carbon dioxide.
3．How does the author support the main argument in paragraph 3?
A．By sharing personal stories.
B．By detailing new technologies.
C．By quoting leading energy experts.
D．By listing key data and national cases.
4．What is the main message conveyed by Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka?
A．Global electricity demand is expected to decline soon.
B．The transition to renewable energy is becoming a reality.
C．Coal will remain the dominant energy source for decades.
D．Renewable energy is insufficient for future electricity needs.
【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究小组Ember 的报告显示，2025 年上半年全球可再生能源发电量
首次超过煤炭发电量，阐述了煤炭发电原理、危害，以及可再生能源发展情况及意义。
1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Coal has been the main way to make electricity on Earth for more than 100
years. Formed over millions of years from dead plant matter, the black lump is burned in power stations to heat
water and create steam.(100 多年来，煤炭一直是地球上发电的主要方式。the black lump 由死亡的植物物质
经过数百万年形成，在发电站中燃烧以加热水并产生蒸汽)”可知，这里描述的是煤炭的形成及用途，所以
“the black lump”指的是固体煤炭，故选A 项。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Scientists say humans must reduce their use of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil,
and gas, in order to stop climate change from getting worse.(科学家表示，人类必须减少对煤炭、石油和天然气
等化石燃料的使用，以阻止气候变化恶化)”可知，科学家建议减少使用化石燃料是为了防止气候变化加剧，
故选C 项。
3．推理判断题。根据第三段“The first half of 2025 marked a milestone in global energy: renewable sources
accounted for 34.3% of electricity generation, exceeding coal at 33.1%. This change was primarily driven by
reduced coal use in China and India, the world’s top electricity consumers. Critically, this development contributed

by a rapid growth in solar and wind, which together supplied a record 18.2% of global electricity, with China alone
accounting for over half of the new solar capacity.(2025 年上半年标志着全球能源领域的一个里程碑：可再生
能源发电量占比达34.3%，超过了煤炭的33.1% 。这一变化主要是由全球最大的电力消费国中国和印度减
少煤炭使用所推动的。至关重要的是，这一发展使得全球电力行业的碳排放量下降了4.5%，彰显了其对环
境的积极影响。增长的主要动力来自太阳能和风能的快速发展，二者共同提供了创纪录的18.2%的全球电
力供应，仅中国新增的太阳能装机容量就占新增总量的一半以上)”可知，第三段通过列举关键数据和国家
案例来支持主要论点，故选D 项。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段““We are seeing the first signs of a crucial shift,” said Malgorzata Wiatros-
Motyka from Ember. “Solar and wind are now growing fast enough to meet the world’s growing appetite for
electricity.(安波（Ember）的Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka 说：“我们看到了关键转变的最初迹象。太阳能和
风能现在的增长速度足以满足世界对电力日益增长的需求”)”可知，Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka 传达的主要
信息是向可再生能源的转变正在成为现实，故选B 项。

Every time generative artificial intelligence drafts an e-mail or makes an image, the planet pays for it. AI
consumes much electricity. And a recent research identifies another concern: AI’s contribution to the world’s
mounting mass of electronic waste. The study found that generative AI applications alone could add 1. 2 million to
5 million metric tons of trash to the planet by 2030, which definitely exacerbates the global e-waste problem.
However, few countries legally require proper handling of e-waste, and those that do often fail to apply their
existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no law that requires
electronics recycling. In 2024 Ed Markey introduced a bill that would require agencies to develop standards for
AI’s environmental impacts, including e-waste, but it has not passed. Some countries propose a reporting system,
but it would be voluntary. Worse still, some countries even witness the absence of relevant laws.
There are still solutions. Companies that use AI have a great number of options to limit e-waste. It’s possible
to make hardware last longer through regular checks and updates, reuse old devices for less demanding tasks, or fix
and reuse old parts—this cuts waste by 42%. Combining these with more efficient chip and program design could
reduce e-waste by 86%.
Yet there’s another wrinkle as well: AI products tend to be trickier to recycle than standard electronics. “The
core issue lies in the fact that the former are often loaded with private user information that demands secure
handling,” says Kees Balde, an e-waste researcher. He also points out tech giants like Microsoft and Google have
the financial resources to both wipe such data and properly treatment of their electronics. “Undoubtedly, this
process adds to the overall expense,” Balde comments on large-scale e-waste recycling, “but the benefits to the
public far outweigh the costs involved.”
1．What does the underlined word “exacerbates” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Eliminates.
B．Worsens.
C．Causes.
D．Tackles.
2．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．How countries cope with e-waste.
B．The harm caused by global e-waste.
C．Global e-waste management is poorly regulated.
D．What individuals should do to approach e-waste.
3．How can companies reduce e-waste?
A．By designing more efficient chips and programs.
B．By cooperating with e-waste recycling organizations.
C．By extending hardware life-span and design efficiency.
D．By prohibiting the development of new AI technologies.
4．What makes AI products harder to recycle?
A．Its insecure handling procedures.
B．Its more complex hardware structures.
C．Its tendency to get infected with virus.
D．Its substantial customers’ data storage.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出生成式人工智能加剧全球电子垃圾问题，分析了其监管漏洞、解决
办法等相关问题。
1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“The study found that generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to 5
million metric tons of trash to the planet by 2030, which definitely exacerbates the global e-waste problem. (研究
发现，到2030 年，仅生成式人工智能应用就可能给地球增加120 万至500 万吨的垃圾，这无疑会
exacerbates 全球电子垃圾问题。) 可知，exacerbates 意为“加剧，恶化”。故选B。
2．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“However, few countries legally require proper handling of e-waste, and those
that do often fail to apply their existing laws on it. (然而，很少有国家在法律上要求妥善处理电子垃圾，而那
些这样做的国家往往未能实施现有的法律。)”以及后文对各国在电子垃圾管理方面的不足的描述可知，本
段主要讲了全球电子垃圾管理不善的问题。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段“It's possible to make hardware last longer through regular checks and updates,
reuse old devices for less demanding tasks, or fix and reuse old parts — this cuts waste by 42%. Combining these
with more efficient chip and program design could reduce e-waste by 86%. (通过定期检查和更新来延长硬件使
用寿命、将旧设备用于要求较低的任务、或者修复和重复使用旧部件——这可以减少42%的浪费。将这些
方法与更高效的芯片和程序设计相结合，可以减少86%的电子垃圾。)”可知，企业减少电子垃圾的方式是
“延长硬件使用寿命” 与 “设计更高效的芯片和程序” 相结合。故选C。
4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘The core issue lies in the fact that the former are often loaded with private
user information that demands secure handling, ’says Kees Balde, an e-waste researcher. (Kees Balde，一位电子
垃圾研究员说：‘核心问题在于，前者通常装载着需要安全处理的私人用户信息。’) ”可知，AI 产品比
普通电子产品更难回收的核心原因是其存储了大量用户隐私数据，需要安全处理。故选D。

The rapid rise of electric vehicles and portable electronics has made lithium a critical resource. As the world
moves toward clean energy, recycling used lithium batteries has become essential. New research from Edith Cowan
University (ECU) shows that using old batteries as a secondary source of lithium not only reduces environmental
harm but also ensures a steady supply of this valuable material, supporting a sustainable future.
Experts predict the global lithium-ion battery market will grow quickly, reaching billions of dollars in value
within a few years. However, most batteries are discarded while still holding a large amount of usable energy. In
fact, when batteries are no longer suitable for electric vehicles, they often retain up to 80 percent of their lithium
capacity. Instead of being wasted, these batteries could be recycled to recover lithium, nickel, and cobalt.
Recycling offers clear environmental advantages compared to traditional mining. Mining lithium causes
significant land damage, water pollution, and high carbon emissions. In contrast, recycling produces far fewer
greenhouse gases, uses less energy and water, and avoids harmful chemical releases. Additionally, the lithium
recovered through recycling is already highly purified, saving further processing costs.
Despite these benefits, challenges remain. The fast pace of technological innovation makes it difficult for
policies and recycling methods to keep up. Moreover, the changing chemical composition of batteries complicates
the recycling process. To build a successful circular economy, investment in proper infrastructure is urgently
needed. Fortunately, some companies are already exploring effective ways to recycle batteries and turn waste into
wealth.
In conclusion, recycling “dead” batteries is not just an environmental necessity but also an economic
opportunity. By addressing current challenges and investing in better systems, we can reduce pollution, save
resources, and create a cleaner, more sustainable world.

Ocean microplastics (微塑料) have grown into one of the top environmental threats in the 21st century, with
tiny plastic pieces spreading to every corner of the global ocean at an alarming rate.
These microplastics, usually less than 5 millimeters in size, come from broken-down plastic products,
microbeads in daily chemicals and unprocessed industrial plastic waste. They harm sea life in various ways: many
marine animals mistake them for food and eat them, leading to digestive failure and even death, and they stick to
sea creatures’ bodies, affecting their normal activities and reproduction. What’s worse, microplastics enter the
marine food chain and accumulate in marine organisms, finally bringing serious potential health risks to humans
who eat seafood.
To solve this urgent problem, an international team of scientists spent five years researching and developing
a new biodegradable (可降解的) material to replace traditional petroleum-based (石油基的) plastics. The material
is made from natural plant waste like corn stalks, rice straw and wheat bran — low-cost and widely available
agricultural by-products that make it easy to produce on a large scale. It looks and works just like common plastic,
being light, tough and waterproof, and can be processed into various daily products. Its biggest advantage is that it
can break down completely in seawater within six months under the action of marine microorganisms, turning into
harmless organic substances, unlike traditional plastic that stays in the ocean for hundreds of years and causes
lasting pollution.
Laboratory tests in different marine environments and large-scale sea trials in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans
have achieved great success. The tests prove the material is safe for all sea creatures, from tiny plankton to large
marine mammals, and it does not change seawater’s natural chemical conditions like pH value and salinity. Thanks
to its excellent performance and environmental friendliness, many world-famous companies in food, packaging and
daily necessities industries have begun to use it for food packages, shopping bags and disposable tableware. Experts
believe this material is a crucial turning point in ocean protection; with wider use, it will greatly cut plastic waste
entering the ocean and help build a cleaner, healthier ocean ecosystem for humans and marine wildlife.
1．Why are ocean microplastics harmful?
A．They raise the temperature of seawater.
B．They destroy global food production.
C．They threaten sea life and human health.
D．They reduce the number of sea plants.
2．What can we infer about the new material?
A．It is hard to produce in large amounts.
B．It has practical use in daily life.
C．It has replaced all traditional plastics.
D．It can break down in any polluted water.
3．What is experts’ attitude to the new material?
A．Doubtful and careful.
B．Hopeful and positive.
C．Worried and uncertain.
D．Uninterested and calm.
4．What is the function of the first paragraph?

It’s no secret that microplastics have already come into our lives. They can stem from daily tasks like
cooking and cleaning. Now, research is pointing to the previously unexplored impact of dishwashing on
microplastic pollution.
A new study has revealed that washing plastic containers in a dishwasher releases plastic particles (颗粒),
which proceed to enter wastewater. Although the study confirmed that the release of microplastics in dishwashers is
relatively low compared to other sources of microplastic pollution, it could still impose consequences on the
environment.
The study found that a single dishwasher cycle with a full load of common plastic items could release about
920,000 microplastic particles into wastewater. This ultimately adds up to 33 million particles per household per
year globally. Although this number may sound frightening, this plastic mass only equates to “about a quarter of the
weight of a grain of rice,” according to a statement on the study.
Regardless, microplastics from dishwashers eventually end up in a wastewater treatment plant, which can
remove more than 90 percent of microplastics from wastewater. However, the filters (过滤器) here are not perfect,
as millions of microplastics can still slip through and adversely affect the environment.
Even though dishwashers may not be the biggest concern in terms of microplastic pollution, the fact that
millions of households regularly use them increases the environmental risks. However, strategies to limit
microplastic pollution from dishwashing and other household tasks have been suggested. Filters fitted on
dishwashers to catch microplastics before they enter wastewater could be a possibility in the future.
“Removing this pollutant before it can enter the environment is better than taking costly measures after it has
already been released,” said author Elvis Okofio, a research fellow at the University of Queensland. “Small changes
can help reduce the global burden of plastic pollution.”
1．What can we learn about dishwashing from paragraph 1?
A．It has grown more complicated.
B．It’s a source of microplastic pollution.
C．Its plastic pollution is out of control.
D．It unexpectedly pollutes our kitchens.
2．What can be inferred about microplastics from dishwashers?
A．Their total amount is relatively low.
B．They hardly affect the environment.
C．They pose a huge threat to human health.
D．They contain a small number of particles.
3．What is a problem of the wastewater treatment plant?
A．It fails to perfect its management.
B．It does not have enough filters.
C．It lets many microplastics escape.
D．It can’t remove microplastics from water.
4．What is Okofio’s suggestion for limiting microplastic pollution?
A．Improving filter technology.
B．Stopping using plastic containers.
C．Reducing the use of water.
D．Preventing release from the source.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D

Consider a plastic bottle floating on the ocean’s surface, far from the coast. To the naked eye, it seems
lifeless — just discarded waste floating on the waves. But up close, it is a lively habitat: bacteria gather in large
groups, green seaweed grows into thin layers, small creatures live in water feed, and small shellfish attach firmly.
This is the plastisphere, a new ecosystem formed by human waste — a term invented by marine microbiologist
Linda Amaral-Zettler more than ten years ago, referring to unique groups of species living on plastic waste.
Unlike natural materials such as driftwood, which break down in months, plastics never fully degrade. They
can last for up to 1,000 years, breaking into small pieces instead of disappearing completely. This long-lasting
feature makes plastic a stable living place for marine creatures. The process of species settling on plastic follows a
regular order: first, bacteria arrive and settle down, sending out chemical signals to draw other tiny organisms and
forming sticky layers. Soon after, algae (藻类) and fungi (真菌) join in, building simple food chains. Later, larger
organisms like barnacles come, and some use plastic as safe places to raise their young.
The movement of the plastisphere is worrying — ocean currents carry plastic across different regions, acting
as “microbial roads” that transport species, including harmful bacteria and poisonous algae, to new ecosystems. In
these sticky layers, harmful microbes exchange genetic material, becoming more dangerous or resistant to drugs.
Although some microbes in the plastisphere may break down pollutants, the ability of this ecosystem to adapt also
brings ecological damage.
Studies on the plastisphere confirm a simple fact: the only long-term solution is to reduce plastic production
and our dependence on it in order to prevent pollution. It shows the adaptability of life and warns us of unexpected
results — our desire for convenience has changed ocean life in ways we still do not fully understand.
1．What does the underlined word “plastisphere” mean in paragraph 1?
A．A type of plastic debris floating in oceans.
B．A natural material that replaces plastic in oceans.
C．A group of marine microbes that break down plastic.
D．A new ecosystem formed on plastic waste.
2．Why can plastic become a stable habitat for marine life?
A．It releases nutrients that support marine organisms.
B．It is lighter than driftwood and easier to float.
C．It breaks down slowly and lasts for a long time.
D．It is less likely to be damaged by ocean currents.
3．What is the sequence of settlement on plastic debris?
A．Algae→bacteria→fungi→larger organisms B．Bacteria→algae→fungi→larger organisms
C．Fungi→bacteria→algae→larger organisms
D．Larger organisms→bacteria→algae→fungi
4．What is the author’s attitude towards the plastisphere?
A．Concerned about its negative environmental impacts.
B．Optimistic that it will solve ocean pollution.
C．Doubtful that it really exists in natural oceans.
D．Excited about its potential for scientific research.

Plastics are widely used in our daily lives, from packaging and clothing to medical tools and electronic
devices. However, in recent years, scientists have paid increasing attention to microplastics — tiny plastic pieces
smaller than 5 millimeters. These particles are often produced when larger plastic items break down over time,
especially under sunlight or pressure. They can also enter the environment directly through daily products such as
facial cleansers, clothes, or industrial waste.
In addition, factories and wastewater treatment plants release large amounts of microplastics into rivers and
oceans every day. Once in the environment, these small particles are difficult to remove. Over time, microplastics
have spread across the planet. They have been found in the cold Arctic, the deep Mariana Trench, and even on the
top of Mount Qomolangma. They are now a major part of marine pollution and can be eaten by sea animals like
fish and shellfish. Through the food chain, these plastics may eventually enter the human body, raising concerns
about their possible effects on health.
But the danger does not stop there. Microplastics are also present in the air we breathe. Research shows that
people, especially those living in cities, may take in microplastics through breathing. Tiny plastic fibers from
clothes, furniture, and traffic dust float in both indoor and outdoor air. Common plastic items — such as food
containers, cups, and baby bottles — can also release microplastics when heated or reused too many times.
Although most microplastics are too large to pass through the skin, they may still stay on the surface or carry
harmful chemicals. Some skin care products even contain plastic particles, increasing the chances of contact
through daily use.
Scientists have found that microplastics may harm human cells and lead to problems in the lungs, immune
system, or even brain. As research continues, it is important to understand the risks and reduce our exposure to
these tiny but widespread pollutants.
1．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．How microplastics spread and harm nature.
B．Detailed steps of wastewater treatment.
C．The invention of plastic packaging.
D．The plastic pollution in the ocean.
2．What can we learn about human exposure to microplastics?
A．It is linked to daily matters people may not even notice.
B．It can be avoided by moving to countryside areas.
C．It mainly results from working in plastic factories.
D．It increases when people touch seawater directly.
3．Why are microplastics considered particularly dangerous?
A．They make plastic goods more expensive to produce.
B．They pose health risks while being hard to detect.
C．They are large enough to be easily noticed.
D．They cause direct death of marine animals.
4．Which could be the best title for the text?

Small plastic particles in water have become one of the most concerning consumer pollutants because they
are widely found in various water sources. A Chinese research team has developed a new method to remove these
microplastics, which negatively affect human health.
A study published on Saturday in the journal Science Advances introduced a new reusable and biodegradable
foam that can capture microplastics in water with an efficiency of up to 99.8% in its first use. Researchers from
Wuhan University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology used a sustainable fibrous foam made from
chitin（几丁质） from squid bone and cellulose（纤维素） obtained from cotton. This foam has a hole-filled
structure that can attract and interact with various types of microplastics commonly present in electronics, food
packaging, textiles, and other industrial products.
The team tested the foam’s performance using water samples from four real-world sources — irrigation
water, lake water, seawater, and pond water — to prove its effectiveness in natural water environments. In initial
tests, the foam captured nearly 100% of microplastics. After five usage cycles, the removal rate of this plant-based
material still exceeded 95%, demonstrating excellent reusable. According to the study, the material’s capturing

Lake Turkana in Kenya, often called the birthplace of humanity, is the world’s largest desert lake. Ancient
remains up to 4. 2 million years old from half a dozen human ancestor species have been found there, offering
precious clues to how our ancestors lived alongside diverse wildlife.
Thousands of years ago, the lake was far larger, stretching across vast areas and surrounded by thick green
grasslands. But between 4000 and 6000 years ago, a long period of drier climate brought about a dramatic change
— its water level dropped by 100 to 150 metres. This shift not only reshaped the landscape but also awakened long-
hidden geological forces beneath the lakebed.
A study led by Christopher Scholz and his team at Syracuse University reveals that the significant water
level drop reduced pressure on the lakebed, allowing crustal faults ( 地壳断层) to slip more easily. The research
team examined 27 underwater faults, finding that fault sides moved past each other at an average rate of 0. 17
millimetres per year.
The reduced water weight had another profound effect, which enabled magma (岩浆) deep below the Earth’s
crust to rise more freely. “It’s like opening a bottle of soda — less pressure makes magma much more likely to
erupt,” says Ken Macdonald, a geologist from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Notably, one of the
lake’s three volcanic islands erupted in 1888, an event closely linked to these long-term geological shifts.
While climate change-driven rainfall is now raising the lake’s water levels again, researchers warn it will
take thousands of years to significantly reduce the increased earthquake and volcanic activity. The study
emphasizes that global geological risk assessments must now consider how climate change alters lake water levels
— a clear and urgent connection between human-driven environmental shifts and the dynamic forces of the planet’s
crust beneath our feet.
1．What can we infer about the dramatic change of Lake Turkana 4000-6000 years ago?
A．Landscape changed for the better.
B．Change was mainly due to climate.
C．Lake expansion created grasslands.
D．human ancestors caused the change.
2．What did Scholz’s team find about the underwater faults?
A．Lower water levels completely stop fault slip.
B．Fault slip often leads to a drop in water levels.
C．Faults slip 0. 17 millimetres per year on average.
D．Twenty-seven underwater faults exist in the lake.
3．Why does Ken Macdonald give the example of opening a bottle of soda?
A．To describe the power of volcanic eruptions.
B．To show volcanic eruptions are unpredictable.
C．To explain how pressure change causes an eruption.
D．To illustrate the similarity between soda and magma.
4．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Climate Shifts: A Driver of Geological Changes
B．Lake Turkana: A Witness to Ancient Geological Shifts
C．Underwater Faults: Key Links to Volcanic Activity Risks
D．Human Activities: Reshapers of Earth’s Crust Movements

1．推理判断题。根据第二段“But between 4000 and 6000 years ago, a long period of drier climate brought
about a dramatic change — its water level dropped by 100 to 150 metres. (但在4000 到6000 年前，一段长时间
的干燥气候带来了巨大的变化——水位下降了100 到150 米。)”可知，图尔卡纳湖在4000 到6000 年前的巨
大变化主要是由于气候变干导致的水位下降。故选B 项。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The research team examined 27 underwater faults, finding that fault sides moved

African forests and shrubby woodlands have previously been one of the world’s biggest carbon sinks,
accounting for 20 percent of all the CO2 taken up by plants. The lion’s share of this is in the Congo rainforest, the
second largest forest in the world after the Amazon. Sometimes called the “lungs of Africa”, it absorbs an estimated
600 million tons of CO2 per year. However, forests on the continent are now emitting more carbon dioxide than
they absorb, a fundamental shift that will make it more difficult for the world to cut its net emissions to zero.
Now, researchers have found that after gaining biomass (生物量) from 2007 to 2010, African forests lost 106
million tons of biomass per year from 2011 to 2017. That is equal to roughly 200 million tons of CO2 emissions per
year. This was driven by logging in the Congo rainforest, says Heiko Balzter at the University of Leicester, UK. “If
we are losing the tropical forests as one of the means of mitigating climate change, then we basically have to
reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel burning even faster to get to near-zero emissions.”
Balzter and his team estimated the amount of biomass with satellite measurement of the color and water
content of the forest canopy (树冠), as well as its height at certain points. But Simon Lewis at University College
London says satellite data can’t detect the type of trees in a forest and isn’t reliable for estimating the carbon
absorbed by high-biomass undamaged forests or emitted in forests degraded by selective logging.
At the COP30 climate summit in November, Brazil announced the tropical Forests Forever Facility, a fund
that will pay its investment returns to tropical countries at $4 per hectare of forest left standing. But so far countries
have donated only $6.6 billion to the fund, far short of the $25 billion goal. “It’s really important to make this
tropical Forest Forever Facility work, to try to turn around this trend of the African tree biomass actually emitting
carbon into the atmosphere,” says Balzter.
1．What change does the author mention about African forests?
A．They are larger than before.
B．They are producing more CO2.
C．They are thicker than before.
D．They are absorbing more CO2.
2．What does the underlined word “mitigating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Slowing.
B．Ignoring.
C．Worsening.
D．Measuring.
3．What can be inferred about the satellite measurement?
A．It can identify the type of trees in a forest.
B．It is mainly used for observing illegal logging.
C．It has some limitations in biomass assessment.
D．It is widely accepted by most climate scientists.
4．Why is the tropical Forests Forever Facility significant?
A．It supports a lot of poor African countries.
B．It has raised enough money to protect tropical forests.
C．It may turn the tide on African forests carbon releasing.
D．It contributes to investing new projects in tropical areas.

1．细节理解题。根据第一段“However, forests on the continent are now emitting more carbon dioxide than
they absorb, a fundamental shift that will make it more difficult for the world to cut its net emissions to zero. (然而，
如今非洲大陆的森林正排放出比吸收更多的二氧化碳，这一根本性的变化将使全球更难以将净排放量降至
零。)”可知，非洲森林现在排放的二氧化碳比吸收的更多，说明其正在产生更多二氧化碳。故选B。
2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“If we are losing the tropical forests as one of the means of mitigating climate
change, then we basically have to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel burning even faster to
get to near-zero emissions. (如果我们正在失去热带森林作为……气候变化的一种手段，那么我们就基本上必
须更快地减少化石燃料燃烧产生的温室气体排放，才能接近零排放。)”可知，热带森林可以减缓气候变化，
因此“mitigating”意为“减缓”。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据第三段中Simon Lewis 的观点“But Simon Lewis at University College London says
satellite data can’t detect the type of trees in a forest and isn’t reliable for estimating the carbon absorbed by high-
biomass undamaged forests or emitted in forests degraded by selective logging. (但伦敦大学学院的Simon Lewis
表示，卫星数据无法辨别森林中树木的种类，也不适用于估算高生物量未遭破坏森林所吸收的碳量，或者

始森林的碳吸收量或择伐退化林的碳排放量时，其可靠性存疑，因此可推断其在生物量评估方面有不足。
故选C。

Trees are known for absorbing carbon dioxide as they grow. However, recent research reveals a hidden
function of trees: their bark hosts countless microbes that consume other climate-active gases.
The tree bark microbes feed on hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide, researchers report January 8 in
Science. As for trapping heat, methane is a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 100-
year period. Carbon monoxide and hydrogen enhance global warming indirectly, by helping methane persist longer
in the atmosphere. Globally, tree bark covers an estimated 41 million square kilometers, with about six trillion
microbes per square meter. “This is a hidden benefit of trees we previously didn’t realize,” says Luke Jeffrey, a
biogeochemist at Southern Cross University in Australia.
The discovery emerged from long-term research on methane sources. Initially, scientists found that methane
emissions from Amazon flooded areas were only half the expected amount. Then in 2017, it was discovered that
half of the region’s methane seeped from tree trunks instead of the ground. While trees were once seen as passive
chimneys releasing soil methane, a 2021 study by Jeffrey’s team found that bark microbes reduce methane
emissions by about 35% by oxidizing it for energy.
In follow-up work, researchers analyzed microbial genomes in eight Australian tree species. They found
hydrogen-oxidizing microbes were most common, followed by methaneand carbon monoxide-consuming types.
Experiments confirmed that bark microbes not only digest gases within trees but also draw trace amounts of these
gases from the air. Though atmospheric concentrations are low (2 parts per million to 40 parts per billion), scaled
globally, tree microbes remove millions of tons of these gases annually.
This hidden function strengthens trees’role in fighting climate change. Since different tree species host
distinct microbial communities, reforestation efforts could prioritize species that maximize removal of multiple
greenhouse gases. “You’re not just thinking about the tree you’re planting, but also the microbes within the tree,”
Chris Greening, one researcher participating in the study notes, “You can ideally get rid of three or four climate-
active gases for the price of one.”
1．What is the role of bark concerning climate change?
A．Absorbs carbon dioxide directly.
B．Blocks harmful gas emissions.
C．Contains microbes eating climate gases.D．Stores carbon dioxide internally.
2．What does the underlined word “potent” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．powerful.
B．harmful.
C．common.
D．visible.
3．What can we learn from the research?
A．Amazon’s methane emissions matched earlier predictions.
B．Tree bark microbes raise methane emissions by using it for energy.
C．Hydrogen-oxidizing microbes are the rarest in Australian tree bark.
D．Tree microbes can take in small amounts of greenhouse gases from the air.
4．What is Chris Greening’s words mainly about?
A．The difficulty of studying tree microbes.
B．The benefits of planting trees with microbes.
C．The high cost of reducing greenhouse gases.
D．The need to focus only on trees, not microbes.

3．细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Experiments confirmed that bark microbes not only digest gases within trees
but also draw trace amounts of these gases from the air.(实验证实，树皮微生物不仅分解树木内部的气体，还

More trees will cool the climate and control fires, but mainly if planted in hot, wet areas, according to a new
UC Riverside (UCR) study. The study, published in Climate and Atmospheric Science, found that tree planting is
generally a net positive for the climate because it helps pull warming carbon out of the atmosphere. However, local
effects on temperature not related to carbon varied significantly by region. At higher latitudes (纬度), trees could
have a slight heating effect, while the opposite is true in hot, wet areas.
“Our study found greater cooling effects from planting in warm, wet regions, where trees grow throughout
the year. Trees there not only pull carbon dioxide from the air, they also cool while releasing water vapor,” said
study first author and UCR graduate student James Gomez. “It’s not that planting elsewhere doesn’t help — it does
— but these warm areas offer the strongest returns per tree.”
These findings mirror the results of an earlier UCR study that shows planting trees could cool the surface of
the planet even more than previously expected. While that study factored in the chemical effects of trees interacting
with the atmosphere, this study places more emphasis on understanding the physical effects of tree planting.
These effects include “tree sweating”, or transpiration (蒸腾). Tree roots absorb water from the soil, which
then travels up through the trunk and into the leaves. When pores (气孔) in the leaves open up so the tree can take
in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis (光合作用), some of the water in the leaves evaporates into the air. This
process cools the air on Earth’s surface and cools the tree, too.
“It’s just like the way sweating cools your body,” Gomez said. “In warm, wet areas, there is constantly water
available for trees, and that increases transpiration.”
Trees can also reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the planet’s surface. As they release water vapor,
the air can become more humid. More humidity can mean more clouds, and water vapor itself can absorb some sun.
Both of these effects reduce the amount of sun that reaches the ground, giving a cooling effect.
1．What does the study reveal about tree planting in different regions?
A．Carbon absorption is weaker in high latitudes than hot areas.
B．Climate benefits overall, but temperature effects vary regionally.
C．It is only effective in hot, wet areas and has no benefits elsewhere.
D．It has identical cooling effects regardless of the latitude where trees are planted.
2．How does the transpiration process mainly work?
A．By opening leaf pores to let water out.
B．By changing sunlight into food for the tree.
C．By adding water to the air without forming clouds.
D．By pulling water up from the soil through the trunk.
3．Hot, wet areas have the best cooling effect because of ______.
A．more leaf pores and less water in the air
B．constant water supply and slower tree growth
C．greater carbon storage and less sun bouncing back
D．year-round water release and more clouds forming
4．Which is the best title for the text?
A．Why All Tree Planting Helps the Climate
B．The Chemistry of Trees: Beyond Carbon Storage
C．Where to Plant Trees for Maximum Climate Benefits
D．Trees and Carbon: A New Look at Forest Climate Effects

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加州大学河滨分校的一项新研究，研究表明植树对气候总体有益，
但不同地区的温度影响差异显著，在炎热潮湿地区植树能带来最强的降温效果，并解释了其原理。
1．细节理解题。根据第1 段中“tree planting is generally a net positive for the climate(植树总体上对气候具有
净收益)”和“However, local effects on temperature not related to carbon varied significantly by region.(然而，与
碳无关的局部温度效应因地区差异很大)”可知，研究表明植树对气候总体有益，但温度影响因地区不同而
不同。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据第4 段中“Tree roots absorb water from the soil, which then travels up through the trunk
and into the leaves. When pores in the leaves open up so the tree can take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis,
some of the water in the leaves evaporates into the air. (树根从土壤中吸收水分，然后水分通过树干向上进入叶
子。当叶子上的气孔打开，树木可以吸收二氧化碳进行光合作用时，叶子中的一部分水分会蒸发到空气
中。)”可知，蒸腾作用主要通过叶子上的气孔打开释放水分来进行。故选A。
3．细节理解题。根据第5 段中“In warm, wet areas, there is constantly water available for trees, and that
increases transpiration. (在温暖、潮湿的地区，树木持续有水可用，这增加了蒸腾作用。)”以及第6 段中
“As they release water vapor, the air can become more humid. More humidity can mean more clouds(当它们释放
水蒸气时，空气会变得更潮湿。更高的湿度可能意味着更多的云)”和“Both of these effects reduce the
amount of sun that reaches the ground, giving a cooling effect. (这两种效应都减少了到达地面的阳光量，从而
产生冷却效应。)”可知，湿热地区冷却效果最好是因为有持续的水分供应(支持蒸腾作用)以及水蒸气形成云
层。故选D。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇点明“More trees will cool the climate and control fires, but mainly if
planted in hot, wet areas(更多的树木将有助于降温和控制火灾，但主要是在炎热潮湿的地区种植时)”，随后
详细解释了为何在湿热地区植树效果最佳(如蒸腾作用、形成云层等)，并与其他地区进行对比。因此，文
章的最佳标题应强调植树地点选择对于最大化气候效益的重要性，因此C 项“在哪里种树能获得最大的气
候效益”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。

We can learn a lot from nature. Architect Vincent Callebaut looks to our environment as a guide for
designing his forward-thinking structures. His conceptual creation Lilypad is a prime example.
Lilypad is a floating island that draws inspiration from the gigantic Victoria amazonica, a species of water
lily known for having the largest leaves of any water plant. Their leaves can grow up to nearly 10 feet in diameter.
Similarly, Callebaut’s Lilypad is a massive self-sustaining structure surrounded by water. Lilypad is intended to
offer a solution to the rising sea levels for humans. It would function as a mobile, amphibious ( 水陆两栖的) city
that could accommodate up to 10, 000 inhabitants. The city would follow the ocean currents and adapt to natural
forces instead of working against them, as we do now, Eco-friendly at its core, Lilypad is designed to have a central
freshwater lagoon that would aid in rainwater collection and purification. Other areas of the structure would be set
up as the marina and mountain “zones” where people would work, shop, and be entertained. Layers of planned
housing would be surrounded by suspended gardens and crossed by a network of organically arranged streets.
The Lilypad design uses principles of biomimicry (仿生学), a practice that mimics the strategies used by
living organisms to solve human challenges. Callebaut has distinct ways in which he has applied biomimicry
fundamentals to Lilypad. One way is through its bionic structure.
“The structure takes up the radial (辐射状) and concentric geometry (同心式几何) shape of a water lily leaf,
making it float and distribute loads,” he explains, “a design that reduces the amount of materials to a minimum.”
“In short,” Callebaut concludes, “Lilypad transforms climate challenges into opportunities through a design
inspired by nature, where each element works in symbiosis (共生) with the environment.”
1．What is the key feature of Callebaut’s Lilypad?
A．It automatically purifies water.
B．It functionally provides a shelter.
C．It constantly influences the ocean currents.
D．It exactly meets the government’s requirements.
2．What do we know about using the principles of biomimicry?
A．It is a project to solve the natural crisis.
B．It is a guide to restore the damaged situation.
C．It is a method to adopt the professional solutions.
D．It is an application to imitate the approaches from nature.
3．What can be inferred about Lilypad from the remarks of Callebaut?
A．Its design is based on the eco-friendly philosophy.
B．Its way of distribution proves effective and practical.
C．Its operation shows how to cut down on building materials.
D．Its structure highlights the importance of keeping balance.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Nature Does Nothing in Vain
B．A Future Sample of Housing Rises to Fame
C．Sustainable Floating City is Inspired by Water Lily

The open water of Bayou Bienvenue now hosts an island of native trees, grasses, and recycled glass. The
artificial island is helping researchers understand a new approach to coastal restoration.
Created by a team of scientists and a glass recycling company, the roughly 10-metre-diameter (直径) island
is made from a mix of glass ground into sand and Mississippi River sediment (沉积物). A second island next to it,
also dotted with plants, is made fully from sediment. The team wants to know if there are any differences in how
the plants grow to figure out if the glass sand mixture could be a workable material for restoring coastal
ecosystems.
Sea level rise and erosion ( 侵蚀) sweep away sediment and flood ( 淹没) plants along the coast. The
ecosystems there, such as wetlands and salt marshes (盐沼), act as a protection between storms and areas further
inland. To restore these damaged ecosystems, ecologists often rely on sediment collected nearby. But there’s a
limited amount available, and the digging process can disturb surrounding habitats. By using glass sand instead,
restoration projects can reduce the amount of sediment required and chip away at another problem: Millions of
metric tons of glass end up in landfills each year instead of getting recycled.
According to a study by Sunshine Van Bael and her colleagues, wetland plants were grown in a greenhouse
in five-gallon buckets. These plants were grown in containers filled with Mississippi River mud (淤泥), glass sand,
or an even mix of both. The glass was progressively processed into different sizes. The plants grown in a coarse-
grained (粗粒的) glass-sediment mix exhibited similar growth characteristics to those grown in only sediment.
Another group’s study revealed that two salt marsh grasses native to Mississippi grew well in a fifty-fifty mix of
glass sand and fill soil, while one species grew even in a 75 percent glass sand mixture.
Researchers believe that the success of these studies suggests great promise. However, it is possible that this
method is not specific to each region, and research needs to be location-specific to determine the glass sand’s ideal
size and proportion across different coastlines.
Van Bael and her colleagues will keep a watchful eye on the islands in Bayou Bienvenue for the next five
years, with plans to create two more.
1．What problem does using glass sand help reduce?
A．The rising of sea level.
B．The overflow of glass waste in landfills.
C．The pollution in the Mississippi River. D．The lack of storm-prevention systems.
2．Which of the following is true about Van Bael’s greenhouse study?
A．It was conducted in an open field.
B．It contained varied particle sizes of the glass.
C．It proved plants in pure glass sand grew better.
D．It found a grass thriving in a 75% glass sand mixture.
3．What is a potential limitation of the glass sand method?
A．Its long-term effects are unknown.
B．It could potentially harm the plants.
C．It requires too much energy to produce. D．It calls for tailoring to different locations.
4．What is the researchers’ attitude towards the glass sand method?
A．Skeptical and critical.
B．Neutral and indifferent.
C．Optimistic but cautious.
D．Supportive without doubt.
【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍利用回收玻璃砂制作人工岛以修复海岸生态系统的研究、实验结果、
潜在局限及后续观测计划。
1．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“By using glass sand instead, restoration projects can reduce the amount of
sediment required and chip away at another problem: Millions of metric tons of glass end up in landfills each year
instead of getting recycled.(通过使用玻璃砂，修复项目可以减少所需沉积物的数量，并逐步缓解另一个问题：
每年数百万吨玻璃被扔进垃圾填埋场而不是被回收利用。)”可知，使用玻璃砂有助于减少垃圾填埋场中的
玻璃废弃物问题。故选B 项。
2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The glass was progressively processed into different sizes.(玻璃被逐步加工
成不同的颗粒大小。)”可知，范·贝尔的温室研究中使用了不同颗粒大小的玻璃。故选B 项。
3．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, it is possible that this method is not specific to each region, and
research needs to be location-specific to determine the glass sand’s ideal size and proportion across different
coastlines.(然而，这种方法可能并不适用于所有地区，要确定不同海岸线玻璃砂的理想粒径与配比，研究
仍需结合具体地理位置开展。)”可知，玻璃砂方法的潜在局限是需要根据不同地区进行调整。故选D 项。
4．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Researchers believe that the success of these studies suggests great promise.
However, it is possible that this method is not specific to each region, and research needs to be location-specific to
determine the glass sand’s ideal size and proportion across different coastlines. (研究人员认为，这些研究的成功

Urban heat islands (UHIs) have become a pressing environmental challenge as cities expand rapidly
worldwide. These phenomena occur when built up areas — with concrete roads, glass skyscrapers, and minimal
green space-trap more heat than surrounding rural regions, raising urban temperatures by 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. A
2024 study published in Sustainable Cities and Society tracked 50 major cities across Asia, Europe, and North
America, finding that UHIs not only worsen heatwaves but also increase energy consumption for air conditioning
by 30%on average, making carbon emissions worse.
However, innovative urban planning is proving effective in easing this issue. The Chinese city of Shenzhen
has pioneered a “sponge city green corridor” model, integrating rooftop gardens, vertical forests on the outside of
buildings, and pavements that let rainwater sink into the ground. Over the past five years, these measures have
reduced local temperatures by 1.5 degrees and cut urban runoff by 40% during heavy rains. Similarly,
Copenhagen’s “cool neighborhoods” project replaced asphalt (沥青) with light-colored, heat-reflective materials
and expanded community parks, lowering summer temperatures in targeted areas by 2 degrees while improving
residents’ mental health, according to post-project surveys.
The key to success lies in balancing infrastructure development with ecological conservation. Researchers
emphasize that native plant species are particularly crucial-they require less water, support local biodiversity, and
absorb more heat than non-local plants. Moreover, community participation plays a vital role: in Berlin, residents’
initiatives to convert vacant lots into urban gardens have created over 120 small green spaces, each contributing to
UHI reduction while fostering social connections.
As cities continue to grow, addressing urban heat islands is no longer optional but essential for sustainable
development. The solutions — rooted in green infrastructure, smart design, and community engagement-
demonstrate that environmental protection and urbanization can coexist harmoniously. By learning from successful
cases worldwide, cities can turn the challenge of UHIs into an opportunity to build healthier, more resilient living
spaces.
1．What is the main cause of urban heat islands?
A．Excessive use of air conditioning.
B．Light-colored reflective materials.
C．Waste gases from vehicles and factories.
D．Lack of green space and overbuilt areas.
2．How does Shenzhen reduce urban heat islands?
A．By expanding rural areas around the city.
B．By establishing more high-rise buildings.
C．By using new heat-reflective materials on roads.
D．By doing more greening and better water
management.
3．Why are native plant species recommended for urban greening?
A．Because they are more affordable to maintain.
B．Because they grow faster than non-local plants.
C．Because they adapt better and absorb more heat.
D．Because they attract more community participation.
4．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A．Growth and green goals can go together.
B．Cities must stop growing to save nature.
C．Few cities succeed in fixing urban heat islands.
D．Community involvement solves urban heat issues.
【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍随着全球城市快速扩张，城市热岛效应成为紧迫的环境挑战，阐述
其成因、危害，以及一些城市应对该问题的有效措施和成功经验。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段“These phenomena occur when built up areas — with concrete roads, glass
skyscrapers, and minimal green space-trap more heat than surrounding rural regions, raising urban temperatures by
2 to 8 degrees Celsius. (当建筑密集区域——拥有混凝土道路、玻璃摩天大楼和极少的绿地——比周边农村
地区吸收更多热量，使城市气温升高2 至8 摄氏度时，就会出现这些现象。)”可知，城市热岛效应的主要
成因是建筑密集区域多、绿地少。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段“The Chinese city of Shenzhen has pioneered a ‘sponge city green corridor’ model,
integrating rooftop gardens, vertical forests on the outside of buildings, and pavements that let rainwater sink into
the ground. (中国深圳市开创了“海绵城市绿色廊道”模式，整合了屋顶花园、建筑外墙垂直森林以及能让
雨水渗入地下的人行道。)”可知，深圳通过打造海绵城市绿色廊道，增加绿化并优化雨水管理来缓解城市
热岛效应。故选D。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers emphasize that native plant species are particularly crucial-they
require less water, support local biodiversity, and absorb more heat than non-local plants. (研究人员强调，本地植
物物种尤为关键——它们比外来植物需水量更少、支持本地生物多样性且吸收更多热量。)”可知，推荐本
地植物是因为它们更适应环境、需水量少且能吸收更多热量。故选C。
4．推理判断题。根据文中最后一段内容“The solutions — rooted in green infrastructure, smart design, and
community engagement-demonstrate that environmental protection and urbanization can coexist harmoniously. (这
些解决方案——植根于绿色基础设施、智能设计和社区参与——表明环境保护与城市化可以和谐共存。)”
可知，作者意在表明城市发展与环保绿色目标可以共存。故选A。

Parts of icy Antarctica are turning green with plant life at an alarming rate as the region is struck by extreme
heat events, according to new research, raising concerns about the changing landscape on this vast continent.
Vegetation (植被) covered less than 0.4 square miles of the Antarctic Peninsula in 1986 but had reached
almost 5 square miles by 2021, the study found. The rate at which the region has been greening over nearly four
decades has also been speeding up, increasing by more than 30% between 2016 and 2021.
“While the landscape is still almost entirely snow, ice and rock, this small, green area has grown dramatically
since the mid 1980s,” said Thomas Roland, an environmental scientist at the University of Exeter. “Our findings
confirm that the influence of climate change caused by humans has no limit in its reach. Even on the Antarctic
Peninsula — this most extreme, remote and isolated ‘wilderness’ region — the landscape is changing, and these
effects are visible from space.”
Antarctica, the coldest place on Earth, has recently been struck by extreme heat events. This summer, parts
of the continent experienced a record-breaking heat wave with temperatures climbing up to 50℉ above normal
from mid-July. In March 2022, temperatures in some parts of the continent reached up to 70°F above normal, the
most extreme temperature departures ever recorded in this part of the planet.
The more the Peninsula greens, the more soil will form and the more likely the region will become more
favorable for invasive (侵入的) species, potentially threatening native wildlife. “Seeds, spores (孢子) and plant
parts can readily find their way to the Antarctic Peninsula on the boots or equipment of tourists and researchers, or
via more ‘traditional’ routes associated with migrating birds and the wind, so the risk here is clear,” Roland said.
“These impacts would likely only be local, but could help further speed up the growth of plant life as the climate
continues to warm,” said Olly Bartlett, a senior lecturer in remote sensing and geography at the University of
Hertfordshire. “This landscape could be changed forever, making it impossible for future generations to see the
beautiful ice-covered Antarctica we know today.”
1．How does the author develop paragraph 2?
A．By providing examples.
B．By clarifying a theory.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By following the time order.
2．What message does Roland convey in paragraph 3?
A．More data collected from space is needed.
B．Antarctica will become liveable in the near future.
C．Snow and ice on Antarctica will completely disappear.
D．Human activities can affect the environment enormously.
3．What is Olly Bartlett’s attitude to Antarctica’s changes?
A．Hopeful.
B．Alarmed.
C．Uncaring.
D．Unclear.
4．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Human Activities Greatly Impact Antarctica
B．Antarctica Is Turning Green at a Dramatic Rate
C．Climate Change Threatens Antarctica’s Tourism
D．New Species Appear on the Antarctic Peninsula
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．B
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了南极半岛因极端高温事件，植被正以惊人速度扩张，导致
“南极变绿”的现象，以及这一变化对当地生态和未来景观的潜在影响。
1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Vegetation (植被) covered less than 0.4 square miles of the Antarctic Peninsula in
1986 but had reached almost 5 square miles by 2021, the study found. The rate at which the region has been
greening over nearly four decades has also been speeding up, increasing by more than 30% between 2016 and
2021.(研究发现，1986 年南极半岛的植被覆盖面积不足0.4 平方英里，但到2021 年已接近5 平方英里。近
四十年来，该地区‘变绿’的速度也在加快，2016 至2021 年间增速超过30%。)”可知，作者通过对比
1986 年与2021 年的植被覆盖面积，以及2016-2021 年的增速，来阐述南极植被扩张的情况。因此，作者是
通过作比较的方式展开第二段的。故选C。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“‘Our findings confirm that the influence of climate change caused by humans
has no limit in its reach. Even on the Antarctic Peninsula — this most extreme, remote and isolated ‘wilderness’
region — the landscape is changing, and these effects are visible from space.’(‘我们的研究结果证实，人类引发
的气候变化影响范围没有边界。即便在南极半岛——这片最极端、偏远且与世隔绝的‘荒野’地区——地
貌也在发生变化，这些影响从太空中都能观测到。’)”可知，他想传达的核心信息是：人类活动引发的气
候变化影响范围极广，甚至能影响到南极这样极端偏远的地区，对环境造成巨大影响。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据第五段“‘This landscape could be changed forever, making it impossible for future
generations to see the beautiful ice-covered Antarctica we know today.’(‘这片地貌可能会被永久改变，未来的人
类将再也无法见到我们如今所熟知的、冰雪覆盖的美丽南极。’)”可知，他对南极的变化感到担忧和警觉。
故选B。
4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Parts of icy Antarctica are turning green with plant life at an alarming rate as the
region is struck by extreme heat events, according to new research, raising concerns about the changing landscape
on this vast continent.(最新研究表明，随着南极地区遭遇极端高温事件，这片冰封大陆的部分区域正以惊人
的速度长出植被，这一现象引发了人们对这片广袤大陆地貌变化的担忧。)”以及下文通过数据、专家观点
等详细阐述了南极植被快速扩张的现象、原因及影响可知，选项B“Antarctica Is Turning Green at a Dramatic
Rate(南极正以惊人速度变绿)”最能概括文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选B。

A research team from China Agricultural University has developed a new type of carbon-sequestration
microbial (微生物的) bacterial agent, a key breakthrough that provides a low-cost, high-efficiency solution for
agricultural carbon neutrality. The research results were published in the international academic journal Agriculture,
Ecosystems and Environment in February 2026.
Unlike traditional farmland management methods that rely on chemical fertilizers to increase production, the
new bacterial agent uses beneficial soil bacteria to capture and fix carbon dioxide in the air into the soil through
photosynthesis and microbial metabolism ( 新陈代谢). While fixing carbon, the bacteria can also break down
nutrients in the soil, improve soil fertility, and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers by up to 35%.
The three-year field experiment data shows that farmland using the bacterial agent can sequester an extra 8.2
tons of carbon per hectare every year, which is 4 times higher than the carbon sequestration efficiency of traditional
straw returning to the field. What’s more, the agent is made from agricultural by-products such as soybean meal and
corn straw, with a production cost 25% lower than similar products on the market, making it easy to promote in
large-scale farmland.
“This technology solves two core pain points of agricultural carbon reduction: high cost and low efficiency,”
said Professor Li Ming, the lead researcher of the team. “It can not only help farmers reduce costs and increase
production, but also make a huge contribution to the national ‘dual carbon’ goal.” At present, the bacterial agent has
been piloted in 12 major grain-producing provinces across the country, with a total application area of 153,000
hectares.
1．What is the core function of the new bacterial agent?
A．To speed up the growth cycle of crops
B．To reduce the use of agricultural irrigation water
C．To kill harmful bacteria in the soil completely
D．To capture and fix carbon dioxide into farmland soil
2．What is an advantage of the new bacterial agent over traditional methods?
A．It doesn’t need any field experiments
B．It has a much lower production cost
C．It can fully replace chemical fertilizers
D．It has been used all over the country
3．What can we infer from Professor Li Ming’s words?
A．The technology is not suitable for small-scale farmers
B．The technology will soon solve global climate change
C．The technology still has unsolvable technical problems
D．The technology has both economic and environmental benefits
4．What is the main function of the last paragraph?
A．To explain the detailed production process of the bacterial agent
B．To introduce the wide global application of the new technology
C．To summarize the core working principle of the bacterial agent
D．To present expert evaluation and promotion status of the innovation
【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国农业大学科研团队2026 年发布的新型农田固碳微生物菌剂，
阐述了其固碳原理、核心优势与试点应用情况，为农业碳中和提供了低成本、高效率的解决方案。
1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike traditional farmland management methods that rely on chemical fertilizers
to increase production, the new bacterial agent uses beneficial soil bacteria to capture and fix carbon dioxide in the
air into the soil through photosynthesis and microbial metabolism (新陈代谢). (与依靠化肥增产的传统农田管理
方法不同，这种新型菌剂利用有益土壤细菌，通过光合作用和微生物新陈代谢将空气中的二氧化碳捕捉并
固定到土壤中。)”可知，该菌剂的核心功能是将二氧化碳捕捉并固定到农田土壤中。故选D 项。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“What’s more, the agent is made from agricultural by-products such as soybean
meal and corn straw, with a production cost 25% lower than similar products on the market, making it easy to
promote in large-scale farmland. (此外，该菌剂以豆粕、玉米秸秆等农业副产品为原料制成，生产成本比市
场上同类产品低25%，便于在大规模农田中推广。)”可知，该菌剂相较传统方法的一个优势是生产成本更
低。故选B 项。
3．推理判断题。根据第四段“It can not only help farmers reduce costs and increase production, but also make a
huge contribution to the national ‘dual carbon’ goal. (它不仅能帮助农民降本增产，还能为国家‘双碳’目标做
出巨大贡献。)”可知，该技术既带来经济收益，又有环境价值，兼具经济和环境效益。故选D 项。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段““This technology solves two core pain points of agricultural carbon reduction:
high cost and low efficiency,” said Professor Li Ming, the lead researcher of the team. “It can not only help farmers

As cities worldwide struggle to hit carbon neutrality (碳中和) goals and handle the growing urban waste
problem, AI-powered waste-sorting systems have become a core solution to lift recycling efficiency and ease
environmental pressure in recent years.
With the rapid development of urbanization, the amount of urban household and industrial waste is rising
year by year, and traditional waste sorting methods can no longer meet the demands of green and low-carbon city
development, pushing the wide application of intelligent waste-sorting technology. Traditional waste sorting relies
mainly on manual work, with cleaners and volunteers sorting different waste types by hand at community and
public waste stations. This method is not only slow and inefficient, especially during peak waste disposal hours, but
also has a high error rate due to the lack of professional sorting knowledge, failing to meet modern cities’ high-
standard recycling needs.
The new AI waste-sorting system uses high-definition cameras and intelligent sensors to identify waste types
in seconds, with advanced image recognition technology telling plastic, paper, glass and metal apart clearly and
accurately, then guiding intelligent sorting bins to divide waste automatically and quickly. The system has been
successfully tested and promoted in over 200 Chinese cities, covering first-tier metropolises like Beijing and
Shanghai as well as medium and small-sized cities in the central and western regions. Official data shows it raises
recycling accuracy to 98%, cuts labor costs by over 60% for environmental departments and greatly reduces landfill
(垃圾填埋场) waste by boosting the recycling rate of recyclable waste. Smart bins connected to the AI system also
send real-time data on waste generation and sorting to local environmental departments, helping governments make
scientific and targeted waste-management plans.
Scientists note the AI waste-sorting technology is still in continuous development. In the near future, it will
work with 5G and big data technology to build smarter waste-treatment systems, realizing whole-process intelligent
management of waste from generation to recycling. This technological integration is not only the key to building
low-carbon and eco-friendly cities, but also an important measure to protect natural resources and promote
sustainable social development, providing a new technical path for cities to achieve environmental protection goals.
1．What is the disadvantage of traditional waste sorting?
A．It costs too much money.
B．It is slow and easy to error.
C．It needs too many machines.
D．It produces harmful things.
2．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．The AI system is widely and effectively used.
B．The AI system needs further testing in cities.
C．Labor costs are still high for waste sorting.
D．Landfill waste has been completely solved.
3．What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A．The labor cost.B．The AI system.
C．The landfill waste. D．The test result.
4．Where is the text most probably taken from?
A．A travel guidebook.
B．A science news report.
C．A fashion magazine.
D．A history textbook.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B

Scientists have recently developed a groundbreaking carbon capture material using metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs) to achieve highly efficient carbon dioxide adsorption ( 吸附) under normal temperature and
pressure, with energy consumption reduced by 90% compared to traditional methods. This breakthrough, led by a
research team from Cambridge University, offers a revolutionary solution for industrial emission reduction and
could become a critical component in global decarbonization efforts.
Traditional carbon capture methods rely on amine solution ( 胺溶液) adsorption, which requires high
temperatures and pressures, consuming significant energy and causing damage to equipment. In contrast, the new
MOF-based material employs precisely engineered porous crystal structures to selectively adsorb CO2 under
surrounding conditions. “The adsorption efficiency is 20 times higher than that of conventional materials, and the
material can be reused over 1,000 cycles,” explained Alex Rodriguez, the lead researcher. Experimental data
revealed that the material achieved a single capture efficiency of 98% in man-made flue gas from coal-fired power
plants, far above industry averages.
The core innovation lies in the MOFs’ “molecular sieve” properties. Researchers finely adjusted the rate of
metal nodes (节点) to organic linkers, creating 0.35-nanometer holes that precisely accommodate CO2 molecules
while excluding nitrogen, oxygen, and other irrelevant components. Remarkably, material regeneration requires
only normal-temperature cleaning, removing the need for energy-intensive heating during desorption. This
approach theoretically reduces the cost of capturing one ton of CO2 to $15.
Beyond its technical superiority, the material boasts economic and environmental benefits. Made from sand-
originated silicon and eco-friendly polymers, its production costs are 30% lower than traditional methods.
Partnering with industrial giant Siemens, the team has launched pilot lines capable of mass-producing kilometer-
long adsorbent sheets. “This isn’t lab-bound tech—we’re already installing systems in cement plants,” noted Alex
Rodriguez.
Looking ahead, the technology holds promise for stabilizing renewable energy grids by storing solar or wind
power as compressed CO2. Its closed-loop recyclability also removes electronic waste concerns. “A fireproof,
paper-thin material that’s cheaper than conventional batteries,” summarized Alex Rodriguez. “As steelmakers and
energy providers line up for licensing, this MOF-based breakthrough is likely to rewrite the rules of carbon
management.”
