25、Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news anchor with China Central Television, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome.

The 103-minute film was released on major Chinese video-sharing websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She concludes that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.

To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don’t meet the standards for environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles(颗粒)to pollute the air.

To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas.

In her film, Chai also emphasized that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we live a greener life by using more public transportation. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In one scene from the film, Chai sees a dirt mound(土堆) in a building site exposed in the air, and asks the person in charge to cover it. When she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities(过滤设备)，she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.

Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to be concerned with the environment. This is what we need in the future.”

26、“Hi! How are you?” The woman smiled as she took the seat next to me on the airplane, She had to lower herself slowly, trying hard to push her fat body into the seat, filling all available space.

I didn’t reply and moved a little towards the window. She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.

“Hi!” I replied.

“My name is Laura. I'm from Britain. How about you?” she talked excitedly. “Malaysia.” I said coldly.

Laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat. “I don't want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said with great sincerity(真诚).

To my surprise, the face that I had disliked hours before slowly showed a nice smile -- lively and calm at the same time. I couldn’t help but let down my guard.

Laura was interesting. During our conversation, Laura managed to make every person on the plane who served us walk away laughing at her jokes.

I asked Laura, “Have you ever thought about losing some weight? You aren't worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?” “Not at all, because I eat healthily and walk regularly,” she said. “This may not be scientific, but I believe in my heart that the people who get diseases are the ones who worry all the time. I’m this size because I was born to be big! There is more to life than worrying about weight all day long.”

She drank her wine. “Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it! If I lose weight, I'll lose my happiness.”

Surprised by her unusual reasoning, I smiled. 1 suddenly realized that Laura was the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my life.

27、

It is often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists can tell you: Maybe you can.

Recently, some Chinese scientists have developed a new technique（技术）. They turned CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch（淀粉）.

Starch is the main part of flour（面粉）and rice that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO2, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps.

“Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas.” said Ma.

The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen（氢气）into methanol（甲醇）. Then they pieced（分解）these methanol molecules（分子）into bigger and more complex（复杂的）molecules. Finally the starch was produced.

This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, taking the place of traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate（气候）change, according to China Daily.

The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe out into the food they eat!

【1】With a new technique, the Chinese scientists could turn CO2 into ________.

A．air

B．water

C．sunlight

D．starch

【2】Plants can create starch with _________.

A．CO2 and water

B．water and sunlight

C．CO2, water and sunlight

D．CO2 and hydrogen

【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?

A．How the starch was produced.

B．It’s difficult to turn CO2 into the starch.

C．Scientists can do complex work.

D．It tells us the importance of the starch.

【4】According to the last two paragraphs, the new method may not help ________.

A．save water and land

B．produce food in factories

C．send astronauts into space

D．recycle CO2 to deal with climate change

【5】The text probably comes from a ________.

A．guidebook

B．sports newspaper

C．science magazine

D．story book

28、短文填词。

I sat with my friend in a coffee shop. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat on an empty table beside us. He c【1】 the waiter and ordered,” Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall.” We saw that he was served with one cup of coffee but he p【2】 for two. As soon as he left, the waiter pasted（粘贴）a piece of p【3】 on the wall saying, ”A Cup of Coffee”.

While we were still there, two other men e【4】 and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall.

S【5】days went by, we went to this coffee shop again. While we were e【6】our coffee, a man who was poorly dressed entered. As he sat down, he looked at the wall and said, ” One cup of coffee f 【7】 the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect. The man had his coffee and left w【8】paying. We were amazed to w【9】 this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and t【10】 it into the dustbin.

People in the town show great respect for the poor. Their respect made our eyes filled with tears. The wall is probably the most beautiful wall you may ever see anywhere!
