B．Ambiguous.C．Favorable. D．Unconcerned.A[觀點看法題。依據全文內容可知，作者在文章中描述了塑料垃圾對社會的巨大的負面影響，尤其在最終一段中作者提到，塑料垃圾對社會可能已經造成了損害，人們變更運用塑料的方式可能太晚了。由此可推知，作者對塑料時代持消極看法。故A項正確。]8．Whatisthemainideaofthispassage?A．Plasticshaveruinedourenvironment.B．Wemuststopusingplasticsaltogether.C．HumanbeingsareinthePlasticAge.D．Plasticsaresignificanttohumandevelopment.C[主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講解并描述的是我們人類現在處于塑料時代并說明了我們這個時代被稱為塑料時代的緣由，由此可推知，C項最符合文意。]Ⅱ.閱讀七選五(2024·大連市高三雙基測試)Haveyoueverhadtimesquestioningyourselfandfeelingdiscouraged?Ifyouansweryes,whatyou'veexperiencedisnegativeself-talk.1.Yousaytoyourselfuntruethingslike,“I'mnotgoodenough.I'madisappointment.”Thesefalsebeliefsstopusinourtracks.So,howdoyoustopthenegativeself-talk??2Knowyou'respecial.Youare“OneofaKind”！Thereisnootherpersonthatthinksexactlylikeyou.Whenyoubegintosincerelybelievehowspecialyouare,it'seasiertofightthenegativeself-talk.?ChangeyourassociationsYournegativeself-talkcomesfromyourenvironment.Youdidn'tjustaccidentallywakeuponedaythinkingofbadthingsaboutyourself.Itmaybebecausesomeone,somewhereinyourlifehastoldyounegativethingsaboutyouandwhetheryouacceptitornot,youbelievethem.However,ifyousurroundyourselfwiththerightpeople,theywillbuildyouup,inspireyouandmakeyoufeelbetter.3．?ChangeyourdialogueReadandsayallthewonderfulthingsaboutyourselfatleast5timesperday.Lookatyourselfinthemirrorandsay,“Iamamazing！”4，andyou'llbelieveyouareawesomeprettysoon.Ofcourse,thereareotherthingstostopnegativeself-talk.5，butifyouaredeterminedtothinkpositivelyineverysituation,thatwillbringapositivechangeinyourlife.A．ThinkthesamewayB．ChangeisnoteasyC．ChangeyourpositionD．ItbeginsinyourbrainE．ChangeyourstateofmindF．You'llseekouttherightpeopletohelpchangeyourthoughtsG．You'llstarttobelievethegreatthingstheytellyoulittlebylittle【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了如何停止消極的自我對話。1．D[空前一句是說假如你的答案是確定的，那么你所經驗的就是消極的自我對話。空后是說你對自己說一些不真實的狀況，由此可推知，D項“它始于你的大腦”連接上下文，符合語境。]2．E[依據文章結構和空處所處位置可知，空處為本段的小標題。本段內容都是在描述一個人好的心態的表現，故E項“變更你的心態”最能概括本段內容。]3．G[依據空前一句“然而，假如你結交了正確的人，他們會讓你振作起來，激勵你，讓你感覺更好”可知，G項“你會起先漸漸地信任他們告知你的美妙的事情”連接上文，符合語境。]4．A[空前一句是說看著鏡子中的自己對自己說“我太棒了”，空后是說你很快就會信任你很棒，由此可知A項符合語境。]5．B[空后表示“但假如你決心在任何狀況下都主動思索，這將給你的生活帶來主動的變更”。其中but為表轉折意義的提示詞，故B項“變更并不簡單”符合語境，連接下文。]Ⅲ.語法填空(2024·南昌市重點中學段考)Intoday'sworldofmobilepayment,allwereallyneed1.(survive)isasmartphone.Butonecompanyishopingtomaketraditionalwalletscoolagain,by2.(bring)themintothedigitalage.ArmenianfirmVolterman'ssmartwallettakessecuritytoanewlevel.It'sfittedwithdifferenttechnology,suchas3.alarm,aGPStracker,andevenacamera.Ifyoursmartphoneandwalletbecomeseparate,thealarmwillwarnyou4.youdon'tleaveitbehind.Andifyourwallet5.(lose)orstolen,theGPStrackercanhelpyoureachit.Even6.(interesting)isthefront-facingcamera.“Ifsomeonedarestoopenyourwallet7.permission,alittlecamerainside8.(take)apictureandsendittoyourmobilephone.Youwillfindit9.(easy)byreceivingapictureofthethief，”AzatTovmasyan,Volterman'sfounder,toldnewssiteBanks.am.Thehigh-techwalletwillbereleasedlaterthisyearandwillcomeinthree10.(model),withthecheapestexpectedtocost$179.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了一種即將上市的智能錢包。1．tosurvive[考查非謂語動詞。needtodosth.為固定搭配，意為“須要做某事”。句意：在當今的移動支付世界，我們生存真正須要的是一部智能手機。]2．bringing[考查非謂語動詞。依據空前的介詞by可知，空處作該介詞的賓語，故用動名詞形式。句意：但有一家公司希望通過將傳統錢包帶入數字時代，讓它們再次變酷。]3．an[考查冠詞。依據該句中的“aGPStracker,andevenacamera”并結合語境可知，該處泛指“一個警報器”，且alarm的發音以元音音素開頭，故用不定冠詞an。]4．so[考查連詞。句意：假如你的智能手機和錢包分開了，警報器會提示你，這樣你就不會遺忘它。依據空處前后的句意可知，空處前后表示因果關系，故用so引導該結果狀語從句。]5．islost[考查動詞的時態和語態。句意：假如你的錢包丟失或被盜，GPS跟蹤器可以幫助你找到它。if引導的條件狀語從句中可用一般現在時表示將來，故空處用一般現在時；依據語境可知，空處表示丟失的狀態，故用islost。]6．moreinteresting[考查形容詞的比較級。上文介紹了假如你的錢包丟失或被盜，GPS跟蹤器可以幫助你找到的狀況，結合該句中的“Even”可知，此處表示“更令人感愛好的是前置攝像頭”。故該處用形容詞的比較級。]7．without[考查介詞。依據語境可知，假如有人膽敢在未經允許的狀況下打開你的錢包，里面的一個小相機就會拍下照片并發送到你的智能手機上。withoutpermission意為“未經允許”，為固定用法。]8．willtake[考查時態。分析句子結構可知，該句為主從復合句，從句為if引導的條件狀語從句，運用了一般現在時，故主句用一般將來時。句意：假如有人膽敢在未經允許的狀況下打開你的錢包，里面的一個小相機就會拍下照片并發送到你的智能手機上。]9．easily[考查副詞。空處修飾動詞“find”，故用副詞形式。]10．models[考查名詞的單復數。model為可數名詞，依據空前的數詞“three”可知，該處用復數形式。句意：這種高科技錢包的三個模型將于今年晚些時候上市，預料最便宜的價格是179美元。]Ⅳ.短文改錯假定英語課上老師要求同桌之間交換修改作文，請你修改你
