It was value

11、d as a potential breakthrough at the time. But a new discovery came as a team of British scientists examined an enzyme(酶) produced by the Japanese bacteria to find out more about its structure. While operating the structure to better understand how it worked, they accidentally created the changed en

12、zyme thats even more efficient at breaking down plastic bottles.The researchers are now working to further improve the enzyme so it can be used on an industrial scale. Its possible that within the next few years there could be an industrially possible process for turning PET into other substances so

13、 it can be recycled.The ability to scale up the process will be important. Plastic pollution is fast becoming one of the biggest environmental issues of our time. More than 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute. Most of these bottles are made from PET，which can take up t

14、o00 years to biodegrade(生物降解), and many are left in the oceans. Over half of global PET waste is not collected for recycling and only 7 percent of bottles are recycled into new bottles.Some scientists say the breakthrough, though promising, is nowhere near enough to solve our pollution crisis. These

15、 enzymes are not abundantly present in nature. So you would need to produce the enzyme first, then add it to the PET plastic to degrade it.”This is likely to be a slow process. If you have gone through the trouble of collecting the PET waste, then there are clearly far better ways to recycle it or b

16、urn it for energy,” said Wim, head of the Industrial Biotechnology Center. He suggested the use of commercially available biodegradable bioplastics would still be a better bet.1、What unexpected discovery did the British scientists make?AAn effective way to deal with plastic waste.BA potential soluti

17、on in collecting PET waste.CThe way to understand the structure of enzyme better.DThe real value of the discovery by Japanese scientists.2、What does the underlined phrase “the process” in Paragraph 3 actually refer to?AThe process to find the enzyme.BThe process to make more plastics.CThe process to

18、 reduce the PET waste.DThe process to produce kind of new PET.3、What is the problem about recycling the PET waste?ALarge quantities of plastic bottles are used.BOcean plastic waste is harder to biodegradeCMost of the PET waste is left without treatment.DMost of the plastic products are made from PET

19、.4、What can be concluded from the last paragraph?AThe enzyme does not exist in nature.BThe enzyme has helped to solve the plastic problems.CBurning plastic waste for energy is now the best way to rid it.DWe have a long way to go to use the enzyme to recycle PET waste.22（8分） Tiny microbes(微生物) are at

20、 the heart of a new agricultural technique to manage harmful greenhouse gas. Scientists have discovered how microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone(石灰石), with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.Researchers have found that wh

21、en the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi(霉菌) and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root.The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from the earth with CO2 from the

22、atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees leaves and in the form of limestone, the mineral in the soil ma

23、kes it more suitable for agriculture.The discovery could lead to reforestation(重新造林) projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India.The findings were mad

24、e in a three-year project involving researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft University of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking CO2 as limestone, and the Iroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work was funded by the European

25、Commission under the Future&Emerging Technologies(FET) scheme.Dr Bryne Ngwenya of the University of Edinburghs School of GeoSciences, who led the research, said:“By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe, readily employed and easily operating way to lo

26、ck carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries.”1、The passage is mainly introducing _.Asome useful natural fungi and bacteriaBa new way to deal with greenhouse gasCa newly-found tree in West AfricaDthe soil-enriching limestone created by scientists2、Which o

27、f the following is True about tiny microbes?AMost tiny microbes like living in dry, acidic soil.BCO2 can be broken down by natural fungi and bacteria.CThe more greenhouse gas is, the more active tiny microbes become.DTiny microbes get along well with the Iroko tree in special soil.3、What does the un

28、derlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?ACarbon dioxide.BCarbon.CSoil.DLimestone.4、According to the passage, what can we infer?AThe action of the tiny microbes can increase the oxygen in the earth.BResearchers have done the experiment on trees in Africa for three years.CResearchers tend

29、to use natural power to solve their problem.DWest Africa is one of the most polluted areas all over the world.5、According to the passage, the Iroko-bacteria method _.Acan be used to improve the farming landBcan save a lot of seriously destroyed woodsChas been popularized in Bolivia, Haiti and IndiaD

30、should be spread all around the world in the future23（8分）“Auld Lang Syne” is a song that everyone drunkenly sings, which marks the start to a brand new year. No one ever seems to know the words (something about forgetting old acquaintances?) or what they mean (why would we want to forget people?), b

31、ut, in America, its as much a part of New Years tradition as wine. But why?The lyrics (歌词) to the song come from a poem written by the great Scottish poet Robert Bums in 1788. Its title is believed to be an old Scottish way of saying “a long time ago.” Phrases like “In the days of auld lang syne” al

32、so appear in other Scottish fairytales and poems, usually as a way of saying “Once Upon a Time.”While it still causes confusion, it is believed that the opening lines of the song are meant to be rhetorical (夸张的); “Should auld acquaintance be forgotten, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaint

33、ance be forgotten, and auld lang syne?” therefore means we should have a drink in honor of whatever is passing, and remember old friends.When the Scots immigrated to America in the 19th century, they brought the song with them. But its great popularity can be largely due to the Canadian bandleader G

34、uy Lombardo.In 1965, he explained how he himself came to associate the song with the end of the year to Life Magazine:“Auld Lang Syne is our theme songand was long before anyone ever heard us on the radio. In our particular part of western Ontario, where theres a large Scottish population, it was tr

35、aditional for bands to end every dance with Auld Lang Syne. We didnt think it was known here.If you want to see the singer in action, check out his final performance on the eve of 1977, after performing for 48 years in a row.1、How might people feel when first hearing the song Auld Lang Syne?AConfuse

36、d. BMoved.CEnergetic. DComfortable.2、Why do people sing Auld Lang Syne when New Year is coming?ATo hope for good luck. BTo celebrate the New Year.CIn honor of Robert Bums. DIn memory of the past.3、Why is Guy Lombardo mentioned in the text?AHe created the song Auld Lang Syne.BHe made the song Auld La

37、ng Syne more popular.CHe brought the song Auld Lang Syne to America.DHe was the first to sing the song Auld Lang Syne.4、What might be the best title for the text?AWhat does Auld Lang Syne Mean?BWho Makes Auld Lang Syne Popular?CHow does Auld Lang Syne Come into Being?DWhy do People Sing Auld Lang Sy

38、ne on New Year Eve?24（8分）Mr. Omorogbe was originally set to graduate in 2014. But after a fight with his dad, he was “tossed out” on the street. Eventually, his grandmother took him in for a while, but with her working during the day, Omorogbe needed to care for his seriously ill grandfather. School

39、 eventually became too much, so he dropped out.For many students across the country, circumstances like Omorogbes can derail (使偏离轨道) them the high-school-to-college track. In his case, Boston Public Schools Re-Engagement Center was able to connect him with EDCO Youth Alternative, a school that provi

40、des extra support to nontraditional and struggling students. He started in September 2016 and will have his diploma in hand by May.“I have my counselor (指导教师) who calls me every day. If I miss school for two or three days, shell call me, and ask, Are you OK? ” says Omorogbe. “During the vacations, s

41、hell call me; for my birthday, shell bake me a cake.”Ten years ago, Boston high school students like Omorogbe were far less likely to get their diploma. In 2007, the citys graduation rate was 59 percent. This year, in 2017, the number of Boston students who graduated in four years hit a record high

42、of 72.4 percent. Statewide, the graduation rate inched up to a record 87.5 percent from 87.3 percent last year, according to state figures.“Youre seeing gradual progress,” says Paul Reville, a professor at Harvards Graduate School of Education and former Secretary of education for Massachusetts. “We

43、re dealing with one of the most important problems that we have in education these days, which is people dropping out without a high school education and having no place to go in our economy.”Education experts say Bostons record graduation rate was particularly encouraging because of the gains by th

44、e citys African-American and Latino students in the last decade 13.6 and 16.5 percentage points respectively.But with roughly 5,500 kids across the state still dropping out of high school every year, professor Reville and others admit that Massachusetts, widely recognized as having the nations leadi

45、ng education system, still has a long way to go.1、Why did Omorogbe drop out of school?AHe had a poor family. BHe had no interest in his studies.CHe was seriously injured in a fight. DHe had to take on the role of a carer.2、What does Omorogbe think of his counselor?AShes strict. BShes kind-hearted.CS

46、hes open-minded. DShes knowledgeable.3、Which of the following is TRUE about Bostons high school graduation rate?AIt reached a record 87.5 percent this year.BThere has been a rise of over 10 percent in 10 years.CThis years figures show a sharp increase over last years.DLess than half of the students

47、could graduate 10 years ago.4、Whats the best title for the text?AThe success story of Mr. OmorogbeBBoston students are regaining their confidenceCThe important role high school education playsDReforms have given fresh hope to struggling students25（10分） Youve got your fancy new suitcase and youre rea

48、dy to take it with you on your travels across the globe.You get to the airport, quickly moving through the crowds on the uneven pavement, rushing to check in. Then, your heart sinks when you realize your new suitcase has got a serious case of the wobbles (摇晃).Why does this happen?Scientists from the

49、 Universite Paris-Diderot in France investigated this matter and published their findings in the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society AThey also suggested some solutions to overcome this modern-day problem.To learn more about the issue, they put a suitcase on a treadmill (跑步机) and observ

50、ed what happened.It was soon noted that the “wobble” was actually a result of repeated actions that caused the suitcase to sway from side to side. They discovered that if one of the wheels encountered an obstacle such as a small bump, it jumped into the air for just a moment and then banged back dow

51、n to the ground. That second action caused the opposite wheel to lift off the ground and then to bang back down, causing the first to lift again and so on. This swaying increased as the luggage was pulled along.“The suitcase is a fun way to tackle the problem, but the study would be the same for any

52、 trolley with two wheels or blades (桨叶),” Sylvain Courrech du Pont, lead author of the study, told BBC News. “So it will be the same for a caravan (大篷车) or maybe also for airplanes.”Instead of slowing down when we see a rocky part of the path, the scientists recommended doing the exact opposite and

53、speeding up. This is because going faster gives the wheels less time to rise and fall, preventing the case from swaying. They also said that reducing the angle of the suitcase by lowering its handle to the ground would help keep it steady.“These findings could help researchers simulate and design be

54、tter rolling suitcases and other pulled trolleys, such as towed trailers ,” Courrech du Pont added.With these masterminds (智者) working on perfecting our suitcase problems, wobbly luggage may soon be a thing of history, leaving us to enjoy our travels.1、The main purpose of the first two paragraphs is

55、 to _.Ashow the importance of a good wheeled suitcase for travelBlead up to the wobbling problem of wheeled suitcasesCdescribe how unstable wheeled suitcases can beDshow that wobbling can cause wheeled suitcases to stop working2、According to the scientists, when a suitcase meets with an obstacle, _.

56、Athe swaying will stop for a momentBits two wheels will jump into the air at the same timeCeven a small obstacle can lead to a serious damageDthere is a series of repeated actions leading to the swaying3、What can be done to keep a suitcase steady on an uneven path according to the text?ASlow down.BP

57、ull the suitcase at a faster speed.CRaise the handle of the suitcase.DIncrease the angle of the suitcase.4、According to the article, the findings could _.Ahelp improve the design of suitcasesBsolve the wobble of suitcases completelyCbe helpful in the advancement of treadmillsDbe used to develop blad
