18、and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric(织物）to deal with plastic pollution. But theres a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying pl

19、astic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic(合成的)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines cant collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are enter

20、ing the sewers（下水道）and finally end up in the sea.In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample.

21、He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations

22、 have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that hes had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Designhis research project

23、 that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didnt get a satisfying answer.

A similar tragedy took place in 19th c

27、entury Russia. And the rebuilding effort of the Russians might offer some inspiration for the French.Standing in the heart of the Russian capital, with 60,000 square meters of floor space and 1,500 rooms, the Winter Palace was among the worlds grandest building. On Dec. 17, 1837, a fire broke out at

28、 the Winter Palace. By the morning of Dec.19, only the structures framework remained.For the czar (沙皇) , the fire presented a political challenge. Fearing that Russias enemies would cast the fire as a blow to the czarist orders, the czars supporters quickly worked together to shape the description o

29、f the fire in Russia and abroad. They wanted the country to appear united. And they certainly didnt want despair to become the story.The first full account of the fire was written in French by the poet Petr Viazemskii. A Russian translation appeared two months later. That text and others painted a h

30、ighly idealized picture of the response to the tragedy. The accounts noted that the czar forcefully directed the fires containment. Soldiers were selfless to save the palace. The Russian people felt the loss just as deeply as the czar.To erase the shame of the fire, the czar set a nearly impossible

31、goal: rebuild the palace within 15 months, and he ordered that rebuilt palace look exactly as it had before.Thousands of workers labored on the construction site. They made rapid progress. On Match 25, 1839, the czar celebrated the rebirth of the Winter Palace.Outwardly identical to the old version,

32、 the new palace featured more iron and brick in its structures-and less wood. It was far less fire-prone than the original.Notre Dame hasnt experienced the same level of destruction as the Winter Palace, if the Russian phoenix of 1839 is any indication, there is hope that a renewed Notre Dame will o

36、rical current can be generated by creating a reaction between the food and two different metals. However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found a way to harvest power from trees. They use the same metal for both electrodes (电极) specifically in order not to confuse this

37、effect with the potato effect.While proving that trees can provide a source of power is a significant step, a key question remains: can the tiny voltage (电压) produced by a tree be used for anything useful? Now scientists are debating over how to use this power source for human benefits.The most prac

38、tical thing is fire alarm for forest department, originating from the tree itself. Trees electric power can charge a battery. This battery in turn will be connected to a small sensor. This sensor will power a brief radio transmission (传送). That radio signal will transport daily soil and air conditio

39、n measurements to a network of much larger, solar powered Forest- Service environmental monitoring stations. Those sensors wilt also give out a crisis signal in the event of a sudden rise in-air temperature-that might indicate the outbreak of a forest fire.“I truly believe it has potential,” said Vi

40、ctoria Henderson, branch chief for equipment and chemicals at the Forest Serviced National Interagency Fire Center. “If this can enhance (提高) our existing technology to a degree that would gain us a lot more fire protection, then wed look at a plan to purchase it for our nationwide infrastructure (基

41、础设施), which is huge.”Researchers have discovered that the greater the pH difference between the tree and the soil the more the energy will be produced. Some researchers also admit that “tree power” isnt as practical as solar energy, but believe that the system could be scaled-up as a low-cost option

42、 for powering tree sensors that help detect environmental conditions or forest fires, Using the electronic output to keep track of a trees health is another possibility.1、Why does the author mention the potato battery experiment in the first paragraph?ATo explain what it is.BTo stress the importance

43、 of electricity.CTo introduce the power source from trees.DTo encourage people to try this experiment.2、What do we know about the fire alarm mentioned in the third paragraph?AThe fire alarm can make a very loud sound.BSmoke from a fire can cause the alarm to go off.CThe electric power it needs comes
