26、 Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme(酵素) that eats plastics(塑 料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.
The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.
The researchers made the discovery(发 现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids(氨 基 酸). It made the natural enzyme’s plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.
John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, “We’ve made an improved enzyme. It’s better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it.” He went on, “The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.”
The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities(大量). “We’ll see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go,” John McGeehan added.
【1】Which is not true about the advantage of enzyme?
A.It’s able to make plastics become smaller parts.
B.It can solve the problem of the plastic pollution right now.
C.It’s used to make the plastics disappear in a rapid way.
【2】The underlined phrase “break down” in the passage probably means “________” in Chinese.
A.实验 B.生产 C.分解
【3】Which isn't the change they made to the natural enzyme?
A.Some amino acids were put in it.
B.The speed of plastic-eating has been improved.
C.The quality of plastic -eating remained the same.
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The scientists are still trying to improve the enzyme.
B.The enzyme will pollute large areas of land and water.
C.The natural enzyme woks better than the improved one.
【5】We can’t infer from the study that________.
A.The team is able to increase the speed of the plastic -eating abilities
B.Efforts are made to increase the number of PET that the enzyme breaks down
C.Few efforts are required to the improvement of this new enzyme
27、 Upcycling is the process of changing old materials into something useful and often beautiful.
So, is it the same as recycling? No. Recycling takes materials-paper or glass-and breaks them down so their base materials can be remade into a new product. When you upcycle an item(物品), you are not breaking down the material,
you are simply refashioning it. For example, you might make shoes out of old tyres. Also, the upcycled item is typically of the same, or even better, quality(质量) than the original.
Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the 1930s to 1940s when families didn’t have enough materials. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until there were no longer useful. For example, an old door can be made into a new dining table. Economising(节约) is still a trend(趋势) today and a big reason why more and more people upcycle. But an even bigger reason for the rebirth of upcycling is its good influence on the environment.
Upcycling is green. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that upcycling is much better for the planet than throwing things away. When you upcycle, that's one item less that ends upon the waste mountain. Upcycling is also considerably more environmentally friendly than recycling, which needs energy or water to break down materials. Upcycling just needs your own creativity and effort.
Grace Robinson, from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, and then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they are dry, she takes the tea out and sews the bags together to make clothes. This can take a long time- maybe months for a single dress -so Grace gets friends to help her by drinking tea too and passing their tea bags on to her.
There are two ways to support the upcycling movement. Sort(分类)through your wardrobe or recycling bin and create items yourself, or buy ready-made items from upcycled materials. Both ways benefit the environment and in return, you get something that’s both attractive and practical.
【1】We can learn from the passage that upcycling ___________.
A.can improve the quality of items
B.needs more energy than recycling
C.needs to break down base materials
D.produces more waste than recycling
【2】The underlined word"refashioning"in Paragraph 2 probably means “___________”.
A.giving a new form B.giving a simple name
C.making a perfect copy D.making a different model
【3】The writer probably agrees that ___________.
A.it is better to make clothes with used tea bags
B.upcycling is much greener than recycling
C.it is necessary to help others to upcycle
D.people need to be more creative
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Get started to recycle today
B.A modern trend: upcycling
C.Is it the same as recycling?
D.To recycle or to upcycle?
28、 Do you speak emoji (表情符号)? If you use a smart phone, the 【1】 (answer) is probably yes. Emoji is a visual (视觉的) language. It can express ideas and feelings. Are you hungry? Let your friends know 【2】 sending them food emojis, like rice or pizza.
People use emoji a lot. One of the 【3】 (popular) emojis is the face with tears of joy. It 【4】 (use) more than 1.8 billion times on Twitter.
Emoji is modern, 【5】 the idea is old. History shows that we've used symbols as language for about 5, 000 years. One of the oldest 【6】 (example) of visual language is Egyptian hieroglyphs (象形文字). Ancient Egyptians 【7】 (begin) using language symbols around 3250 B.C, according to John Darnell. He is 【8】 expert from Yale University.
Who invented emoji? In 1999, the Japanese company NTT Docomo took a heart picture off from its mobile system. As a result, it lost many customers. So Shigetaka Kurita, a designer (设计师), put the heart back. And he made more pictures. He called 【9】 (they) emoji, the Japanese word for picture characters.
Some people still do not see emoji as a language, but it does improve our 【10】 (communicate). Don't you think so?
