Have you heard of these four monuments
Carhenge, Floralis Genérica, Traffic Light Tree and Hand of the Desert—these are four unusual monuments from around the world you might like to visit.
Carhenge
Carhenge is in Alliance, Nebraska (USA). It has a lot in common with Stonehenge. But while Stonehenge was built with stones, Carhenge was created with cars. The monument was made by a local artist Jim Reinders. He used old cars and even an ambulance. At first, the people of Alliance didn’t like it, but they soon changed their minds after it became popular with tourists, who brought lots of money to the town.
Floralis Genérica
Floralis Genérica is a massive statue of a flower. It stands in a pool of water in front of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Eduardo Catalano, a native of Argentina, gave the statue as a gift to the city in 2002. Every morning, the flower opens. In fact, many people believe it is one of the most beautiful statues in the world.
Traffic Light Tree
The Traffic Light Tree is situated at Heron Quay, in one of London’s financial districts. The tree has 75 sets of traffic lights. It was created by French artist, Pierre Vivant, and was installed in 1998. A computer controls the lights, which are turned on and off randomly.
Mano del Desierto (Hand of the Desert)
The Hand of the Desert is in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The sculpture was designed by the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrazabal. From a distance, it looks as if there’s a giant in the sand who has stuck his hand out of the ground.
If you’re looking for something new to see, you know where to go!
21. Why did the people of Alliance change their attitude toward Carhenge
A. It reminded them of Stonehenge. B. It brought them financial benefits.
C. It added beauty to their community. D. It displayed the creativity of the designer.
22. Which of the four monuments was designed by a foreign artist
A. Carhenge. B. Floralis Genérica.
C. Traffic Light Tree. D. Mano del Desierto.
23. Where is the text probably from
A. A guide book. B. A news report.
C. A science magazine. D. An architecture advertisement.

Would you take a trip if you couldn’t use your cellphone A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself.
The first trip is to Lisbon, Portugal, in July. It takes 7 to 10 days, with small groups of up to 16 people. Prices range from $1,500 to $1,650, including accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The plan includes at least three excursions (遠足) and two social events, with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing. The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.
“When you’re somewhere new, there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance. “We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”
Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip. Once the trip is over, participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts.
24. What can be learned about Zach Beattie
A. He set up his business at his own expense.
B. He is always guiding every trip personally.
C. He forbids tourists to take along cellphones.
D. He used to earn his living in a tour company.
25. What do we know about the Lisbon trip
A. The trip features sightseeing.
B. Participants live in homestays.
C. Air ticket is covered in the cost.
D. Tourists experience water sports.
26. What does Zach Beattie expect the participants to do
A. Lock their phones in a trunk.
B. Post their photos on social media.
C. Free themselves from their phones.
D. Shift their focus onto dumbphones.
27. What can tour-goers do with the dumbphone
A. Take photos. B. Access the Internet.
C. Record the trip. D. Contact group members.
C
When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.
28. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming
A. It highlights independent work. B. It encourages group cooperation.
C. It prioritizes quality over quantity. D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges.
29. Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C. To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.
D. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
30. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4
A. By blocking the loudest voices. B. By allowing equal involvement.
C. By improving individual wisdom. D. By generating more creative ideas.
31. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. Individual writing. B. Group sharing.
C. Personal evaluation. D. Joint discussion.
D
Plastic, which is now common, contains endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDCs (內分泌干擾物), that has been linked to increased risk of many chronic diseases. Parental exposure to EDCs, for example, has been shown to cause metabolic (新陳代謝的) disorders, including obesity and diabetes, in the later generations.
Led by Changcheng Zhou, a professor of biomedical sciences in the School of Medicine at the University of California, the researchers investigated the impact of fathers’ exposure to a phthalate called dicyclohexyl phthalate, or DCHP (鄰苯二甲酸二環己酯), on the metabolic health of first generation (F1) and second generation (F2) in mice. Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastic more durable.
The researchers found that fathers’ DCHP exposure for four weeks led to high insulin (胰島素) resistance and impaired insulin signaling in F1. The same effect, but weaker, was seen in F2 .
“We found fathers’ exposure to EDCs may have intergenerational and transgenerational detrimental effects on the metabolic health of their later generations ”Zhou said. “To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to demonstrate this.”
In the case of fathers’ exposure in the study, intergenerational effects are changes that occur due to direct exposure to a stressor, such as exposure to DCHP of fathers (F0 generation) and his F1 generation. Transgenerational effects are changes passed down to later generations that are not directly exposed to the stressor (for example, F2 generation).
“This suggests that fathers’ DCHP exposure can lead to sex-specific transgenerational effects on the metabolic health of their later generations,” Zhou said.
Zhou stressed that the impact of exposure to DCHP on human health is not well understood, even though DCHP is widely used in a variety of plastic products and has been detected in food, water, and indoor particulate matter.
“It’s best to minimize our use of plastic products,” Zhou said. “This can also help reduce plastic pollution, one of our most pressing environmental issues.”
32. Why are phthalates added to plastic
A. To beautify it. B. To make it long-lasting.
C. To reduce its cost. D. To increase its weight.
33. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Negative. B. External. C. Distinct. D. Adventurous.
34. What did Zhou advise people to do
A. Bury plastic waste. B. Watch out for the food they eat.
C. Use fewest plastic products. D. Never produce plastic products.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Plastic contains endocrine disrupting chemicals
B. Plastic pollution is a pressing environmental issue
C. DCHP is widely used in a variety of plastic products
D. Chemicals in plastic may impact two generations’ health

Sarah, a high school student, had a great passion for baking. With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell.
On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face.
A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story.
注意：
1. 續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park.

【原文】As a small child, I often wrote poems and short stories. My primary school teacher was impressed and would read my works to the classmates. I felt proud of my talent and decided that one day I would become a famous writer. In high school, I continued to write and even started my first novel. I also wrote for the school newspaper, and for several years I had considered becoming a reporter. I began studying journalism and communication at university, but within a few months I changed my mind. I was so busy with my studies that I didn’t have time to write fiction, and I really missed it. So with the help of my professor, I changed my major and gained a literature degree, and I was much happier. After university, I got a job to write blogs for a small newspaper office. I continued my creative writing in my spare time and started to write science fiction. I often wondered if I’d ever finish it, but I was determined to succeed. It took me eight years in total to finish the fiction, and two months ago I finally found a publisher for my book. It’s due to be published in three months. I can’t wait, and I’m so glad that I never give up.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
Have you heard of these four monuments
Carhenge, Floralis Genérica, Traffic Light Tree and Hand of the Desert—these are four unusual monuments from around the world you might like to visit.
Carhenge
Carhenge is in Alliance, Nebraska (USA). It has a lot in common with Stonehenge. But while Stonehenge was built with stones, Carhenge was created with cars. The monument was made by a local artist Jim Reinders. He used old cars and even an ambulance. At first, the people of Alliance didn’t like it, but they soon changed their minds after it became popular with tourists, who brought lots of money to the town.
Floralis Genérica
Floralis Genérica is a massive statue of a flower. It stands in a pool of water in front of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Eduardo Catalano, a native of Argentina, gave the statue as a gift to the city in 2002. Every morning, the flower opens. In fact, many people believe it is one of the most beautiful statues in the world.
Traffic Light Tree
The Traffic Light Tree is situated at Heron Quay, in one of London’s financial districts. The tree has 75 sets of traffic lights. It was created by French artist, Pierre Vivant, and was installed in 1998. A computer controls the lights, which are turned on and off randomly.
Mano del Desierto (Hand of the Desert)
The Hand of the Desert is in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The sculpture was designed by the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrazabal. From a distance, it looks as if there’s a giant in the sand who has stuck his hand out of the ground.
If you’re looking for something new to see, you know where to go!
21. Why did the people of Alliance change their attitude toward Carhenge
A. It reminded them of Stonehenge. B. It brought them financial benefits.
C. It added beauty to their community. D. It displayed the creativity of the designer.
22. Which of the four monuments was designed by a foreign artist
A. Carhenge. B. Floralis Genérica.

B
Would you take a trip if you couldn’t use your cellphone A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself.
The first trip is to Lisbon, Portugal, in July. It takes 7 to 10 days, with small groups of up to 16 people. Prices range from $1,500 to $1,650, including accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The plan includes at least three excursions (遠足) and two social events, with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing. The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.
“When you’re somewhere new, there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance. “We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”
Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip. Once the trip is over, participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts.
24. What can be learned about Zach Beattie
A. He set up his business at his own expense.
B. He is always guiding every trip personally.
C. He forbids tourists to take along cellphones.
D. He used to earn his living in a tour company.
25. What do we know about the Lisbon trip
A. The trip features sightseeing.
B. Participants live in homestays.
C. Air ticket is covered in the cost.
D. Tourists experience water sports.
26. What does Zach Beattie expect the participants to do
A. Lock their phones in a trunk.
B. Post their photos on social media.
C. Free themselves from their phones.
D. Shift their focus onto dumbphones.
27. What can tour-goers do with the dumbphone
A. Take photos. B. Access the Internet.
C. Record the trip. D. Contact group members.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文，文章介紹了一家別具一格的旅游公司，組織無手機旅游，禁止游客在旅游期間使用智能手機，因為手機會分散游客注意力，使他們不能集中注意力欣賞風景。旅游公司會派專人拍照，行程后分享給大家。
【24題詳解】
細節理解題。根據文章第一段中“A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. (一家名為Off the Grid的新旅游公司要求游客把手機收起來，甚至不要用手機拍照。該公司的創始人扎克·比蒂（Zach Beattie）正在用他在一家地圖公司從事技術工作攢下的錢發展自己的業務。)”可知，Zach Beattie用之前工作省下來的錢自己出錢創辦自己的旅游公司，名為Off the Grid。故選A。
25題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段最后一句“The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.(行程還包括沖浪課程、海灘瑜伽、一天的帆船航行以及與當地家庭共進晚餐。)”可知，在 Lisbon之旅中，參與者有機會體驗水上運動，如沖浪，帆船運動等。故選D。
【26題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段中““When you’re somewhere new, there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” (‘當你到了一個新的地方，你會看到很多東西，會遇到很多很酷很有趣的人。’貝蒂說：‘你的手機會讓你分心。’)”以及““We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”(‘我們希望這是自愿的，’他說：‘我們不會收集手機，然后把它們扔進鎖著的后備箱。你拿著它，但把它放在口袋里，你陳述你一周的意圖，無論是每天查看一兩次社交媒體還是完全不上網。’)”可知，貝蒂希望參與者能夠遠離手機，把自己從手機中解放出來，因為手機會讓人分心、會錯過旅途中遇到的人和風景，但是不會收手機并把手機鎖在后備箱里。故選C。
【27題詳解】
細節理解題。根據最后一段第一句“Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. (游客們還會得到一個不能上網的“笨手機（非智能手機）”，里面有小組領導和其他參與者的電話號碼，既可以用于緊急情況，也可以促進社交。)”可知，游客們還會得到一個不能上網的“笨手機（非智能手機）”，里面有小組領導和其他參與者的電話號碼，游客可以用“笨手機（非智能手機）”來聯絡其他組員。故選D。
C
When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.
28. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming
A. It highlights independent work. B. It encourages group cooperation.
C. It prioritizes quality over quantity. D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges.
29. Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C. To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.
D. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
30. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4
A. By blocking the loudest voices. B. By allowing equal involvement.
C. By improving individual wisdom. D. By generating more creative ideas.
31. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. Individual writing. B. Group sharing.
C. Personal evaluation. D. Joint discussion.
【答案】28 A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。大量證據表明，當我們運用頭腦風暴共同產生想法時，我們無法最大限度地提高集體智慧。為了挖掘團隊中隱藏的潛力，我們最好進行“書面頭腦風暴法”。
【28題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段中的“You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. (你首先要求小組成員分別寫下他們大腦中發生的事情。接下來，你將它們匯集在一起，并在不告訴作者的情況下在小組中共享。然后，每個成員自己對其進行評估，只有在評估之后，團隊成員才會聚集在一起，選擇并改進最有希望的選項。)”可知，與頭腦風暴相比，書面頭腦風暴法的特別之處在于它強調獨立工作。故選A。
【29題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段的首句“An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. (2010年，智利有33名礦工被困井下，這就是一個偉大的腦力寫作的例子。)”可推知，作者在本段提到智利的采礦事故是為了說明書面頭腦風暴法的成功應用。故選C。
【30題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第四段中的“The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. (書面頭腦風暴法確保所有的想法都能被帶到桌面上，所有的聲音都能被帶入對話。我們的目標不是成為房間里最聰明的人。)”可知，書面頭腦風暴法要求每個人都參與，貢獻自己的智慧。因此，通過允許平等參與促進集體智力。故選B。
31題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據最后一段內容“Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas. (集體智慧始于個人創造力，但它并沒有就此結束。當個人獨自工作時，他們會產生更多的新穎想法。這意味著他們不僅提出了比團體更聰明的想法，而且提出了更可怕的想法。因此，需要集體判斷才能在噪聲中找到信號并提出最佳想法。)”可知，集體智慧始于個人創造力，但是在個人產生想法后，要有集體判斷才能得到最佳想法。因此本段強調了共同討論的重要性。故選D。
D
Plastic, which is now common, contains endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDCs (內分泌干擾物), that has been linked to increased risk of many chronic diseases. Parental exposure to EDCs, for example, has been shown to cause metabolic (新陳代謝的) disorders, including obesity and diabetes, in the later generations.
Led by Changcheng Zhou, a professor of biomedical sciences in the School of Medicine at the University of California, the researchers investigated the impact of fathers’ exposure to a phthalate called dicyclohexyl phthalate, or DCHP (鄰苯二甲酸二環己酯), on the metabolic health of first generation (F1) and second generation (F2) in mice. Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastic more durable.
The researchers found that fathers’ DCHP exposure for four weeks led to high insulin (胰島素) resistance and impaired insulin signaling in F1. The same effect, but weaker, was seen in F2 .
“We found fathers’ exposure to EDCs may have intergenerational and transgenerational detrimental effects on the metabolic health of their later generations, ”Zhou said. “To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to demonstrate this.”
In the case of fathers’ exposure in the study, intergenerational effects are changes that occur due to direct exposure to a stressor, such as exposure to DCHP of fathers (F0 generation) and his F1 generation. Transgenerational effects are changes passed down to later generations that are not directly exposed to the stressor (for example, F2 generation).
“This suggests that fathers’ DCHP exposure can lead to sex-specific transgenerational effects on the metabolic health of their later generations,” Zhou said.
Zhou stressed that the impact of exposure to DCHP on human health is not well understood, even though DCHP is widely used in a variety of plastic products and has been detected in food, water, and indoor particulate matter.
“It’s best to minimize our use of plastic products,” Zhou said. “This can also help reduce plastic pollution, one of our most pressing environmental issues.”
32. Why are phthalates added to plastic
A. To beautify it. B. To make it long-lasting.
C. To reduce its cost. D. To increase its weight.
33. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Negative. B. External. C. Distinct. D. Adventurous.
34. What did Zhou advise people to do
A. Bury plastic waste. B. Watch out for the food they eat.
C. Use fewest plastic products. D. Never produce plastic products.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Plastic contains endocrine disrupting chemicals
B. Plastic pollution is a pressing environmental issue
C. DCHP is widely used in a variety of plastic products
D. Chemicals in plastic may impact two generations’ health
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。研究發現，塑料中含有內分泌干擾物，如鄰苯二甲酸二環己酯(DCHP)，父代暴露于這種物質可能導致后代代謝健康問題。
【32題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段中“Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastic more durable.(鄰苯二甲酸二環己酯是用來使塑料更耐用的化學物質)”可知，在塑料中加入鄰苯二甲酸二環己酯可以讓它更耐用，讓它用得更久。故選B項。
【33題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據第一段中“Parental exposure to EDCs, for example, has been shown to cause metabolic (新陳代謝的) disorders, including obesity and diabetes, in the later generations.(例如，研究表明，父母接觸EDCs會導致后代代謝紊亂，包括肥胖和糖尿病)”可知，父母接觸EDCs會導致后代代謝紊亂，對健康造成傷害，所以劃線詞所在句“We found fathers’ exposure to EDCs may have intergenerational and transgenerational detrimental effects on the metabolic health of their later generations (我們發現父親接觸EDCs可能會對后代的代謝健康產生代際和跨代的detrimental影響)”中“detrimental effects”是指“有害影響”，detrimental與negative同義。故選A項。
【34題詳解】
細節理解題。根據最后一段中““It’s best to minimize our use of plastic products,” Zhou said. “This can also help reduce plastic pollution, one of our most pressing environmental issues.”(“我們最好盡量減少塑料制品的使用，”周說。“這也有助于減少塑料污染，這是我們最緊迫的環境問題之一。”)”可知，周建議人們少用塑料制品。故選C項。
【35題詳解】
主旨大意題。通讀全文，結合第一段中“Plastic, which is now common, contains endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDCs (內分泌干擾物), that has been linked to increased risk of many chronic diseases. Parental exposure to EDCs, for example, has been shown to cause metabolic (新陳代謝的) disorders, including obesity and diabetes, in the later generations.(塑料，現在很常見，含有內分泌干擾化學物質，或EDCs，與許多慢性疾病的風險增加有關。例如，父母接觸EDCs已被證明會導致后代的代謝紊亂，包括肥胖和糖尿病)”可知，文章報道研究發現，塑料中含有內分泌干擾物，父代暴露于這種物質可能導致后代代謝健康問題。所以“Chemicals in plastic may impact two generations’ health(塑料中的化學物質可能會影響兩代人的健康)”是文章最佳標題。故選D項。

第二節 （滿分25分）
67. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah, a high school student, had a great passion for baking. With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell.
On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face.
A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story.
注意：
1. 續寫詞數應為150左右；

【答案】佳作展臺
Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out. Every Saturday, as Sarah saw Mrs. Wilson, she would treat Mrs. Wilson to her desserts generously and chat with Mrs. Wilson in order to comfort the elderly woman and make Mrs. Wilson feel she was cared about. Influenced by Sarah’s kindness，Mrs. Wilson gradually worked through her sorrow. While enjoying Surah’s deserts, Mrs. Wilson shared her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Sarah and offered her tips on opening a bakery after knowing Sarah’s dream.
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. Sarah’s small table was not merely a place to buy desserts; it turned into a symbol of caring for the elderly. Mrs. Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends, whose company helped her get out of loneliness. Assisted by Mrs. Wilson, the small table has grown into a shop. Sarah’s bakery has been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, who are attracted by both the lovely smell and the moving story.
