27、 LEGO (乐高) recently announced that they will start producing pieces from sustainable (可持续的) sugar cane. The toys, which will be closely similar to classic ones, will also feature “botanical elements” like leaves, bushes, and trees.
The pieces will be included in LEGO’S box sets from this year onwards. The move is part of the Danish company’s campaign to use sustainable materials in its products by 2030.
However, Tim Brooks, the firm’s vice-president, said, “We want to make a positive influence on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials. This is a great first step in our goal to make all LEGO pieces using sustainable materials.”
The new line of production has reportedly already started with pieces being produced from polyethylene, which is a soft and durable plastic (耐用的塑料). LEGO says that we needn’t worry about the quality of the new products, as they’ve tested the plant-based plastic to ensure that it meets the high standards for quality and safety that consumers (消费者) expect from the company.
“LEGO products have always been about providing high quality play experiences and giving every child the chance to shape their own world through inventive play. Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new pieces, because plant-based polyethylene has the same qualities as traditional polyethylene,” said Tim Brooks.
“It is important that companies in each industry find ways to help ensure a future where people, nature, and the economy grow healthily,” said Alix Grabowski, an officer at WWF. “The LEGO Group’s decision to use sustainable plastics represents a great opportunity to reduce dependence on finite (有限的) resources, and their work with the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance will allow them to connect with other companies to continue to think creatively about sustainability.”

B. They are worried about the quality of the new products.

B. Consumers expect high standards for quality and safety from LEGO.
C. LEGO wants to make more products.
D. LEGO needn’t test the new products.
【3】What does Alix Grabowski think of LEGO Group’s decision?

【4】How can we comment on Lego’s new products?

28、 Jack Rummler was in the hospital, but he kept emailing his journalism teacher and classmates at Boone High School in the US. He wanted to stay on top of his newspaper work and didn’t want anyone else to be stuck with the tasks he’d taken on.
“He would be in the hospital writing stories,” said Renee Burke, his teacher at the time. “He wouldn’t stop worrying about us.”
Rummler, 18, said he did this because he enjoyed high school journalism so much. “Every little aspect of it.”
He is a compassionate (有同情心的) student, Burke said, who always seems to be thinking about others, even when he faces his own challenges.
Born with spina bifida (脊柱分裂), he walks with a limp (走路一瘸一拐) and has had about 12 surgeries. Two years ago, medical problems kept him out of school for weeks.
Yet, he never wanted to be treated differently, Burke said, nor did he avoid doing anything that might be physically challenging for him, such as filming football games. During his high school life, he worked his way up from staff member to editor-in-chief of the Boone paper.
And last month, he won the “student journalist of the year” award from the Florida Scholastic Press Association.
The contest required student journalists to put together examples of their work and their ability to be “backpack journalists” who could take on many types of assignments. Rummler’s examples included stories and opinion pieces, a graphic he’d designed about school construction, and a TV commercial (广告) for the paper’s online site.
“I think one of the things that journalism taught me is to always be aware of what’s going on in the world,” he said.
His school paper publishes in print four times a year, as well as online. The last issue he worked on was about graduation, showcasing the accomplishments of top students and athletes, among other soon-to-be graduates.
In August, Rummler will start at the University of Florida, where he plans to study environmental sustainability and communications.
“Whatever he does, he’s going to be great at it,” said Bridgette Norris, the current journalism teacher at Boone, who taught him this past school year.
【1】Which of the following words best describe Rummler?
A.Hardworking and modest. B.Optimistic and creative.
C.Humorous and talented. D.Strong-minded and considerate.
【2】What can we learn about Rummler?
A.He has had more than 20 surgeries.
B.He is willing to accept difficult tasks.
C.He has never missed school because of his disease.
D.He will soon be the editor-in-chief of the Boone newspaper.
【3】What won Rummler the “student journalist of the year” award?
A.His willingness to accept challenges.
B.His contribution to his high school paper.
C.His ability to create a variety of news works.
D.His inspiring reports about graduation.
【4】How does Norris feel about Rummler’s life in college?
A.Confident. B.Doubtful.
C.Surprised. D.Worried.
29、Plans to bring wild tigers back to their original home , their historical range(历史分布范围) in the IliBalkhash region, have been announced by Kazakhstan( 哈萨克斯坦 ) and an agreement with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to conduct a tiger reintroduction program has been signed . “It will not only bring wild tigers back to their original home, but also protect the unique ecosystem of the IliBalkhash region,” said Askar Myrzakhmetov, the Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
If successful, Kazakhstan will be the first country in the world to bring wild tigers back to an entire region where they have died out for nearly half a century. Tiger reintroduction projects have only been achieved within national borders and in areas that are considered current tiger habitats . Kazakhstan's tiger reintroduction program is unique and it badly requires the restoration of a vast forest that is part of the wild tiger's historical range.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, wild tigers have lost over 90 per cent of their historical range. Wild tigers have completely disappeared from the region since the late 1940s, due to the loss of habitat. To prepare for the return of wild tigers, on 1st January 2018 Kazakhstan will set up a new nature reserve in the southwestern IliBalkhash, in order to restore the unique forest habitat. This will include the protection of existing wildlife, and reintroducing important prey ( 猎物 ), such as the endangered wild Bactrian deer(中亚红鹿).
Restoring tigers will also help protect Lake Balkhash and prevent it from repeating the fate of the Aral Sea, formerly the world's fourth largest lake and now 10 percent of its original size. “The hard work remains ahead of us. We have to spare no effort to make this region ready for tigers and involve all the relevant people to make this happen. That means dealing with illegal activities, having these people who govern parks be welltrained and equipped, increasing prey populations and involving local communities,” said Ekaterina Vorobyeva, Director of the WWF program.
【1】What is Askar Myrzakhmetov's attitude toward the tiger reintroduction program?
A.Doubtful.
B.Favorable.
C.Concerned.
D.Disapproving.
【2】What made the wild tigers disappear in the IliBalkhash region?
A.The increasing loss of prey.
B.The evolution of the species.
C.The lack of natural living places.
D.The serious environmental pollution.
【3】Which measure may be taken for the reintroduction of tigers?
A.Regulating human activities.
B.Limiting the number of prey.
C.Building a reserve for tigers only.
D.Training tigers to be more adaptable.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Efforts to restore forests in Kazakhstan
B.Bringing tigers back home to Kazakhstan
C.Attempts to handle illegal activities effectively
D.Preventing tigers disappearing in Kazakhstan
