I haven’t been able to do that with anybody else. Sometimes I even feel guilty(有罪的). I miss her more than my own brothers and sisters.

25、   Everyone knows by now that plastic pollution is a huge problem for the environment. Beijing, for example, has dealt with this by banning(禁止) thin plastic bags, plastic tableware(餐具) and other plastic items in supermarkets, restaurants and hotels since May 1, according to CGTN.

But an even better solution might be on the way. Researchers at a French company called Carbios have discovered a bacterial enzyme(细菌酶) that can break down plastic. The enzyme, which was first found in compost(堆肥) leaves, turns plastic into chemical "building blocks" that can then be used to create new products, according to the Guardian.

The new enzyme was uncovered in research that was published last month in the journal Nature. Researchers studied over 100,000 microorganisms(微生物) to find one that could break down plastic quickly. The leaf compost enzyme was first discovered in 2012. Scientists changed its genes(基因), allowing it to break down 90 percent of one ton of plastic in less than 10 hours.

"It had been completely forgotten, but it turned out to be the best." said Professor Alain Marty, chief science officer at Carbios.

The enzyme especially breaks down PET, a type of plastic that is most commonly used to produce plastic bottles and food packaging(包装). It is the fifth most common type of plastic that we use.

Carbios said it is working together with companies like Pepsi and Nestle - major consumers of plastic themselves - to develop their research and start using the enzyme on an industrial scale(范围), according to Forbes.

【3】What does Alain Marty mean in Paragraph 4?

A．It was too late to find the new enzyme.

B．The new enzyme was forgotten by experts.

C．They forgot to change the enzyme's genes.

D．Better late than never.

27、As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember less? If you know your computer will store information, why do you store it in your own personal memory? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments（实验）. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.

In the first experiment, they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information. The second group understood that the computer would not store it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.

In the second experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in an exact computer folder（文件夹）. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. However, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory（交互记忆）”.

According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less clever but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

【1】Why does the writer begin the text with two questions?

A．To explain some thoughts.

B．To introduce the main topic.

C．To show an opinion.

D．To draw the readers' attention.

【2】What can we learn from the first experiment?

A．Sparrow put the information into the computer.

B．Both groups remembered the information well.

C．Group 1 remembered the information faster.

D．Group 2 remembered the information better.

【3】What do we know about transactive memory from the second experiment?

A．People organize the information like a computer.

B．People remember how to find the information.

C．People remember how to make a folder.

D．People keep the information in mind.

【4】What does the underlined word “location” probably mean?

A．Space.

B．Square.

C．Place.

D．Memory.

【5】What’s the text written for?

A．Describing the organizing of computers on people’s memory.

B．Introducing the influence of computers on people’s memory.
