22、Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: 'If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.'

23、On Tuesday, Australian Broadcasting Corporation was informed about the patented device that is developed by Len Humphreys and Thomas Maschmeyer, Sydney University professors, to process plastic. The pair of Australian scientists have come off with the solution to the significant problem in today's environment that is the recycling of plastic. Plastic is the only thing that currently cannot be recycled.
The two scientists have invented a device called Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor. The method that can deal with plastic is known as the Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor(Cat-HTR). Humphreys said to Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the new device could turn plastic into fuel or remade new plastic with the process that is known as chemical recycling. By the process of chemical recycling, the plastic changes at a molecular level, and after that, it changes the plastic into oil.
Humphreys also said that the Cat-HTR is different from physical recycling as you don't have to separate the plastic according to the type and color. The device could change the plastic back to the liquid and the chemical that they were formed. The device could also change the plastic into petrol or any different kinds of plastic, according to Humphreys.
The Cat-HTR could recycle everything from milk boxes to wetsuits according to the report. The product is going to be introduced in the United Kingdom by the company Licella as the company is pushing the technology into the market. This product is an emergency requirement all around the globe to reduce the waste as every year, and only ten percent of the 3.5 tons of plastics that are thrown away are recycled. Due to the increasing misuse, the plastic was almost banned from the market; still, the issue is not solved, and the new device may reduce the problem.
【1】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.A New Way to Recycle Plastic
B.A New Device Cat-HTR
C.The Future of Plastic Products
D.Environment Pollution and Plastic
【2】What can we know about plastic according to the text?
A.Wetsuits are all made from plastic.
B.Plastic can be turned into petrol easily.
C.Everything can be recycled except plastic so far.
D.Plastic has been banned from the market completely.
【3】What can we know from what Humphreys said?
A.The Cat-HTR recycles plastic using a physical way.
B.The plastic changes at an atom level using the Cat-HTR.
C.The Cat-HTR has the ability to turn the plastic into petrol.
D.Only plastic of a certain kind can be recycled by the Cat-HTR.
【4】Why did Licella plan to introduce the Cat-HTR?
A.Because the Cat-HTR can recycle milk boxes and wetsuits.
B.Because the misuse of plastics in the market is greatly increasing.
C.Because the new device can solve the problem of waste plastics.
D.Because the company is making the technology more widespread.
