26、The famous French beauty company L’Oreal has promised that by 2030, 95 percent of its ingredients will come from renewable plant sources and be respectful of the environment. Asked what is driving the beauty industry to clean and green beauty, Laurent Gilbert, one of L’Oreal’s directors said, “Natural science has made progress in the past years, so that we can change to natural ingredients.”
L’Oreal says it will draw on recent developments in Green Sciences to get the best that nature has to offer through technology. Up to now, 80 percent of the Group’s materials have been easily biodegradable, 59 percent have been renewable, and 34 percent have been natural or of natural origin. And 29 percent of the ingredients used in their products were developed following the rules of Green Chemistry.
“We have already used active ingredients which are plant-based. The way we are getting and producing ingredients will change. For example, we are now fully getting vitamin C from biotechnology processes, which was not the case in the past,” Gilbert added.
As part of their sustainability program, the brand had also promised to use less plastic. It said, “By 2030, 100 percent of the plastics used in L’Oreal’s products’ packaging will be from recycled sources. We have a strong policy to help reach that goal. Besides making it recycled, we are trying to move to a new kind of packaging.”
“All our promises are global. We have two research centers in India, one in Bengaluru and one in Mumbai. Those are really important to those goals. The Bengaluru one is being specialized in natural ingredients. It will give support to this change,” says the research center, which was set up in India in 1994.
To achieve these aims, L’Oreal has brought all of its resources in Green Science together, including recent progress in agricultural economics, together with new developments in biotechnology, Green Chemistry and modelling tools. The Group is also building strong relationships with universities, new companies and its own material supplies.
【1】What plays an important role in L’Oreal’s decision to change its ingredients?
A.The support from the local government.
B.The development of natural science.
C.The call for smart spending habits.
D.The research on target markets.
【2】How does the author show L’Oreal’s environmental efforts in Paragraph 2?
A.By listing data.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By telling personal stories.
D.By showing causes and effects.
【3】Why does L’Oreal turn to a new packaging method?
A.To bring convenience to customers.
B.To avoid damage to its products.
C.To cut the cost of packaging.
D.To reduce plastic use.
【4】What does L’Oreal do to reach its goals?
A.Develop new resources and join hands with different groups.
B.Limit the number of factories in developed countries.
C.Grow more plants and invite plenty of professionals.
D.Keep the traditional way of producing materials.
27、When germs, such as bacteria or viruses, invade the body, they attack and multiply.【1】The immune system uses several tools to fight infection(感染). Blood contains red blood cells, for carrying oxygen to tissues and organs, and white or immune cells, for fighting infection. These white cells consist primarily of macrophages(巨噬细胞), B cells and T cells.
Macrophages swallow up and digest germs, plus dead and dying cells. They leave behind parts of the invading germs called antigens(抗原).【2】B cells are defensive white blood cells which produce antibodies. T cells are also defensive white blood cells. They attack cells in the body that have already been infected.
The first time the body comes across a germ, it can take several days to make and use all the germ fighting tools needed to get over the infection. After the infection, the immune system remembers what is learned about how to protect the body against that disease.
【3】They help develop immunity by imitating an infection. This type of infection, however, almost never causes illness, but it does cause the immune system to produce T cells and antibodies. Sometimes, after getting a vaccine (疫苗), the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms. For instance, a fever.【4】
Once the imitation infection goes away, the body is left with a supply of defensive cells that will remember how to find that disease in the future.【5】Therefore, it is possible that a person infected with the disease just before or just after vaccination could develop symptoms and get a disease, because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.
A.Vaccines basically work the same way.
B.This invasion, called an infection, is what causes illness.
C.Vaccines prevent diseases that can be dangerous, or even deadly
D.Scientists take many different approaches to developing vaccines.
E.The body identifies them as dangers and excites antibodies to attack them.
F.Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity.
G.However, it typically takes a few weeks for the body to produce those defensive cells after vaccination.
28、“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour ( also called free running-a kind of extreme sport).
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.
【1】Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .
A. the film, Casino Royale
B. its founder, David Belle
C. its risks and tricks
D. the varieties of participants
【2】The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to“ ”.
A. streets B. objects C. roofs D. barriers
【3】Which of the following is true of parkour?
A. It challenges human abilities.
B. It is a good but boring sport.
C. It needs special training.
D. It is a team sport.
【4】Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?
A. Sports and extremes. B. Excitement and popularity.
C. Dreams and success. D. Determination and freedom.
