Life in the future李仕才一、阅读理解阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Plastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass —apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ability to break down their everyday food —beeswax —also allows them to break down plastic. "Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, thecarbon-carbon bond, is there as well, "she explains, "The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. "Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process —not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic. "1. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.2. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A. identify other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase the breakdown speed3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present a way to break down plastics.D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.【文章大意】本文为说明文。

Unit 3 Life in the futureⅠ.阅读理解When you're out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves,do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent Van Gogh himself? Probably not.Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍)on WeChat or QQ,but you probably don't think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as anartist.But the manager of London's Saatchi Gallery,NigelHurst,thinks that the casualpictures we take of ourselves do have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters.In support of the idea,the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression,which is running now until May30.It features well-known self-portraits from artists including those drawn by Dutchpainters Van Gogh and Rembrandt.It also has selfies on show,which include one taken by US celebrity Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron,according to the BBC.The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to theshow.Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious.He isn't claiming that a snap youtake of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh.But he does make a serious point.Once upon a time,it was only artists who could make images of themselves.They were the only ones,as Hurst told The Guardian,who “had the skills,materials and tools to create self-portraits.”Today,however,we “all have that ability through our smartphones.”And Hurst described the smartphone selfie as an example of “a transform in societyusing technology as a means of self-expression”.He told The Guardian:“The selfie generation is becoming the self-expression generation as each of us seeks to explore and share our inner creativity through the one artistic tool to which we all have access,the smartphone.”1.What is the new exhibition intended to express?A.A celebrity's selfie is more likely to become amasterpiece.B.Selfies are a better way to express oneself thanself-portraits.C.Smartphones have changed the way people understand theworld.D.Selfies have something in common with great artists'self-portraits.in Paragraph 3 refer to?”2.What does the underlined word“thoseD.Visitors.B.Selfies. C.Artists. A.Self-portraits.3.Which of the following would Nigel Hurst agreewith?A.Selfies help us master the skills used by earlier artists.B.Every snap you take of yourself can have artistic value.C.Self-portraits of great masters have lost their attraction.D.Selfies offer people a chance to explore their creativity.s purpose in writing this article?4.What is thewriter'A.To remind readers of works from some famousartists.B.To explain the reason for people enjoying taking selfies.C.To introduce a new exhibition of selfies andself-portraits.D.To make a comparison between selfies andself-portraits.语篇解读:科技的发展、智能手机的普及已经使得自拍成为一种艺术。

He was there every morning, sitting motionless on the front steps of his house. In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻)deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child,I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft gentle voice, he th anked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years.
