22、   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 supermarket, restaurants and hotels since May 1, 2020.

But an even better solution might be on the way. Researchers at a French company called Carbios have discovered a bacterial enzyme 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 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. 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.

【1】According to the passage, what is a huge problem for the environment?

A．Plastic bags.

B．Plastic tableware.

C．Plastic bottles.

D．Plastic pollution.

【2】What does the underlined word “enzyme” in paragraph 2 mostly probably stand for?

A．A type of plastic that we use.

B．A chief science officer at Carbios.

C．A French company called Carbios.

D．A thing that can break down plastic.

【3】What can we know about the enzyme according to the passage?

A．It was used to create new things.

B．It was first found in compost leaves.

C．It was studied by the journal Nature.

D．It was never been forgotten by the scientists.

【4】Why is Carbios working together with companies like Pepsi and Nestle?

A．To start using plastic.

B．To make more money.

C．To sell bottles and food.

D．To develop their research.

23、   When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.

One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched(触动) me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan. "We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them."

I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Emily, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys.

"Oh, dear," I said. "You don't have to give Emily. You love her so much." Meghan said, "Emily makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too."

I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't want any more, but harder to give what we cherish(珍爱), isn't?

【1】How many children does the writer have?

A.one B.two C.three D.four

【2】Emily is the name of ________.

A.a girl B.a doll C.a game D.an earthquake
