21、   Plastic is the workhorse material of the modern economy (经济). Lightweight and durable, it’s been used to make a vast number of products since its introduction over 100 years ago.

However, a study carried out by the World Economic Forum, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and McKinsey Company showed the status of the breakdown in the global plastic system. A full 32% of the 78 million tons of plastic packaging produced annually is left to flow into our oceans.

The Ocean Cleanup, a start-up founded in 2013, is the brainchild of Boyan Slat, who came up with the idea for the company when he was just 17 years old. Since then, it’s received more than $2 million in funding(基金). The company plans to use a large array (列阵) that will be fixed to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. This will have arms that spread out over 100 km, getting all of the plastic garbage pushed into its nets. This is then collected by a 10,000-metre-cube container that will be emptied monthly.

Most recently, the Ocean Cleanup launched a team of explorers aboard a specially refitted C-130 Hercules aircraft heavily loaded with specialized sensor equipment. It discovered that the problem was worse than expected with an abundance of plastics measuring up to 1.5 m across and at a higher density than previously thought. The organization will continue to pilot the array and will start cleaning the pile before the end of the decade.

Once the plastic is out, what should we do with it? The foundation (基金会) hopes that the plastic from the ocean will have a commercial value which can help to fund the project. Ocean plastic is not easy to use, it’s mixed by nature consisting of everything from intact PET bottles to micro plastics. However, some of the world's biggest companies also see the chance to market oceans plastic products.

Transforming today’s plastics economy from its present form (take-make-waste) to a zero waste circular economy (take-make-take-make) is a difficult challenge. However, with cooperative action from producers, recyclers, governments and consumers alike and continuing innovation (革新) it can be done.

【1】What’s Boyan Slat’s idea about?

A.A way to collect ocean plastic waste.

B.A new product made of ocean plastic.

C.A machine to recycle plastic garbage.

D.An organization to research into plastic.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “density” in Paragraph 4?

A.Flexibility. B.Thickness.

C.Width. D.Strength.

【3】What do some biggest companies expect of the ocean plastic?

A.It’ll be turned into treasure. B.It’ll sponsor the foundation.

C.It’ll cooperate with the government. D.It’ll take the form of take-make-waste.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A.A diary. B.A guidebook.

C.A novel. D.A magazine

22、   Human beings learn technology from nature. They tend to imitate it. 【1】 It did take us a while to learn, though. However, not until the mid-twentieth century was the word “biomimicry (仿生学)” first introduced.

One of the first examples would be the invention of Velcro (魔术贴), a material that was born after a walk in the countryside by an engineer and his dog. On returning home, he found his socks were filled with little burrs (刺果). 【2】 They were covered by many tiny hooks (勾). He used those qualities for some kind of fabric. And then Velcro was born.

【3】 A high-speed train used to create great noise while exiting a tunnel because of the air pressure. Eiji Nakatsu, an engineer and bird-lover, was inspired by the kingfisher’s beak (鸟嘴), able to dive into the water at great speed with almost no friction, to create a new design. That’s how the modern bullet train, much more efficient and quieter, was born.

Secondly, there would be the imitation of Nature’s strategies and mechanisms. For instance, dolphins have mastered the art of sending out ultrasound (超声波) without disturbing each other. A team of researchers have analyzed the way dolphins adjust these frequencies. 【4】

Finally, there’s the imitation of the efficiency within an ecosystem. 【5】 For example, the street is full of tiny holes to empty water in flooding seasons and the foundations of buildings grasp the hillsides like the roots of trees.

A.One is the imitation of shapes.

B.People imitate forests to build cities.

C.For instance, birds taught people to fly.

D.He decided to get rid of these little burrs.

E.Then he bent down to inspect them closely.

F.Urban areas consume more energy than rural areas.

G.Based on the analysis, they designed a tsunami alarm system.

23、English is the international language of science, but most of the world's scientists speak it as a second language. We shoulder an extra career challenge: Not only must we gain a command of science, but we must also be able to write in a foreign language to communicate that science.

My mother tongue is Hebrew. Fm now a researcher at Monash University. There are six people on my research team, five of whom are non-native English speakers. Writing highly technical English is crucial to our science. Our topics embrace cell biology, materials science and chemistry, so our writings must make sense to both non-experts and experts.

To be frank, English is suitable as an international language in a number of ways. On the surface, it’s easy enough to convey basic meanings when conducting trade, business and tourism, as well as on social media. In most contexts, it doesn't matter if you misuse “the” or "-ing,” or get the word order wrong. Although the spelling is chaotic, once you get a feel for the typical patterns, it’s not too hard.

However, when meanings are complex and technical, precision is a must. Then, English becomes a difficult beast to wrestle with.

The Australian poet Clive James once called English“big and baggy." I can't disagree. The vocabulary is large. Furthermore, the grammar is extraordinarily flexible, leaving us often confusing. There lies the problem: Such rich language makes it easy to produce long writings of questionable quality.

Worse still, we outsiders ta English are likely to have been taught to use complicated wording and long sentences to show our authority on a topic. However, English is the opposite: The language is at its most elegant when plain and simple. But simplicity is hard in English!

Another shock to me was the importance English speakers place on front-ending their messages. In many languages, you might expect readers to stay with the text throughout. In English, however, I’ve developed healthy fear that my readers will skim-read unless I state the essence at the opening of a paragraph, then walk backwards while explaining it.

【1】Why is English suitable as an international language?

A．It can be easily used to get basic meanings across.

B．It has relatively simple grammar and spelling rules.

C．It is spoken by the majority of the world’s population.

D．Its huge vocabulary helps express complex meanings.

【2】The challenge scientists have as non-native speakers is ___________.

A．how to convey complex and technical meanings precisely in English

B．how to produce professional writings in complicated English

C．how to establish their authority in the field of science in English writing.

D．how to make scientific writings in English accessible to authorities.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “front-ending their messages” in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A．skimming for the main idea of the text

B．expressing ideas at the end of the text

C．presenting key messages at the beginning

D．having a thorough understanding of the text

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband , Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children as we would go there when he made everything settled.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He almost got lost in those unfamiliar blocks. When he came back in the late afternoon, he discovered that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. For a while, he was overwhelmed with depression with no one to turn to.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. My husband was so excited about the return of the suitcase. Meanwhile, the kindness of this family made him feel that this place could be a new start, a new home for a brand new life.
