26、   Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to take the place of glass and plastic ones. Paper bottles aren’t quite ready to go yet, but you may see them appearing on shelves over the next few years.

Customers have become more worried about the environment, so many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles. Paper bottles have many benefits. Perhaps the most important is that they can be easily recycled. Paper bottles also weigh less than glass or plastic ones, meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around. Since paper is soft and easy to be shaped, companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.

A company called Paboco has been working with many large companies to develop paper bottles. The companies are creating their own bottle designs, but they’re sharing what they learn to speed up the development of paper bottle technology.

Clearly, one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking (漏). Many companies are lining (做内衬) their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic. Though bottle makers may say they can be removed, many recycling programs don’t have the right machines to handle them.

A company named Diageo has just announced the first paper bottle that is completely plastic-free. Instead of a plastic liner, a non-plastic coating will be used on the inside of the bottles. This should make the bottle fully recyclable. But even without the plastic, paper bottles aren’t perfect, which means more trees need to be cut down to make the bottles.

There’s still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic ones. But with so many companies working toward the same goal, it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.

【1】What is the greatest advantage of paper bottles according to the passage?

A.They are lighter than plastic or glass ones.

B.They are soft and can be easily shaped.

C.They can be moved around with less energy.

D.They are easy to recycle and environmentally friendly.

【2】What is Paboco doing to improve the development of paper bottle technology?

A.It’s cooperating with some other large companies.

B.It’s creating its own bottle designs.

C.It’s studying how to prevent paper bottles from leaking alone.

D.It’s trying to keep its technology secret from others.

【3】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Many companies. B.The paper bottles.

C.The thin sheets of plastic. D.Bottle makers.

【4】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A.A non-plastic coating is the best solution to the problem of pollution.

B.Paper bottles still need to be improved before appearing in stores.

C.Paper bottles have taken the place of glass or plastic ones so far.

D.Many companies are working toward the same goal.

29、Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a French writer and pilot who used his life experiences to write his publications. The Little Prince is one of his most famous books, selling about 140 million copies worldwide, which makes it one of the best-selling and most translated books ever published. Born in Lyon, France in 1900, Saint-Exupéry’s family was filled with nobility. His father was a manager of an insurance company who died when Saint-Exupéry was very young.

In 1915, Saint-Exupéry joined a high school in Switzerland. Due to his poor performance in class, Saint-Exupéry didn’t graduate from the boarding school in 1917. Saint-Exupéry twice tried to apply to the French Navy Cadet School. However, both times he failed the entry test. Finally, he went to a local college to study architecture. Again, due to poor grades, he didn’t complete his study.

In 1921, Snint-Exupéry decided to join the French army as a soldier. He trained as a pilot and made his first solo（单独的）flight in July of that year. The next year, after he obtained his licence, he was asked to transfer to the air force. However, his fiancee（未婚委）and her family believed that joining the air force means meeting lots of risks. In that case, they were against his staying in the military. Finally, Saint-Exupéry gave in to them and left the military. Later he took an office job in Paris.

As he had difficulty setting on a career path, Saint-Exupéry began to fly as a pilot again in 1926. It turned out that he was a successful pilot and made great contributions to his country during World War Ⅱ. Saint-Exupéry’s last light was on 31 July, 1944. He left on a wartime mission over occupied France, from which he was never seen again.

Saint-Exupéry was honoured by the Trench in France and the French region of Quebec, Canada. His portraits appeared on the 50-franc notes and 100-franc coins before the introduction of the euro in France. In Lyon, his birthplace, the city’s international airport was named after him.

【1】What do we know about The Little Prince?

A．It is a copy translated from another work.

B．It has been a big hit since it was published.

C．It is about the business of the author’s father.

D．It is about the author’s view on rich family life.

【2】Why did Saint-Exupény take an office job?

A．He performed badly at school.

B．He did poorly in his entry exam.

C．The military’s office refused his application.

D．His fiancee’s family objected to his staying in the air force.

【3】Why is Lyon’s airport named after Saint-Exupery?

A．To celebrate his success.

B．To remember his first light.

C．To show great respect for him.

D．To introduce him to the world.

【4】How is the text organized?

A．In order of space.

B．In order of time.

C．In order of importance

D．In order of place.

30、Everybody loves to hate invasive species. The international list of invasive species—defined as those that were introduced by humans to new places, and then _________ — runs to over 4,000. In Australia and New Zealand hot war is fought against introduced creatures like cane toads (蔗蟾蜍) and rats.

Some things that are uncontroversial (无争议的) are nonetheless foolish. With a few important exceptions, campaigns to   _________ invasive species are merely a waste of money and effort — for reasons that are partly practical and partly philosophical.

Start with the practical arguments. Most invasive species are neither terribly successful nor very _________ . Britons think themselves surrounded by foreign plants. _________ , Britain’s invasive plants are not widespread, not spreading especially quickly, and often less of a(n) _________ than vigorous native plants. The arrival of new species almost always _________ biological diversity (多样性) in a region; in many cases, a flood of newcomers drives no native species to extinction. One reason is that invaders tend to colonise _________ habitats like polluted lakes and post-industrial wasteland, where little else lives. They are nature’s opportunists.

The philosophical reason for starting war on the invaders is also _________. Elimination campaigns tend to be   _________ by the belief that it is possible to restore balance to nature — to return woods and lakes to the state before human   ____________ . That is misguided. Nature is an everlasting mess, with species constantly emerging, withdrawing and hybridizing (杂交). Humans have only quickened these processes. Going back to ancient habitats is becoming ____________ in any case, because of man-made climate change. Taking on the invaders is a(n) ____________ gesture, not a means to an achievable end.

A reasonable attitude to invaders need not imply passivity. A few foreign species are truly ____________ and should be fought: the Nile perch – a fish, has helped drive many species of fish to extinction in Lake Victoria. It makes sense to ____________ pathogens (病菌), especially those that destroy whole native tree species, and to stop known agricultural pests from gaining a foothold. Fencing off wildlife reserves to create open-air ecological museums is fine, too. And it is a good idea for European gardeners to destroy Japanese plants, just as they give no space to native harmful grasses like bindweed and ground elder. You can garden in a garden. You cannot garden ____________ . That is universally accepted.
