21、The journey of a hi-tech message in a bottle has revealed the damage of plastic (塑料) pollution — as it was tracked more than 1,700 miles in a few months.
British researchers put GPS and satellite tags in 25 plastic bottles, and left them to drift (漂流) in the river Ganges(恒河) and Bay of Bengal (孟加拉湾) in India. Using mobile phones and satellite networks, the team tracked the containers across the sea — with one crossing 1,768 miles in just 94 days.
They hope the tech could be a “powerful tool” for raising awareness and changing behaviour. “Our message in a bottle tag shows how far and how fast plastic pollution can move,” said lead author Dr Emily Duncan, of the University of Exeter. “This is a truly global issue, as a piece of plastic dropped in a river or ocean could soon be washed up on the other side of the world,” she said. “Bottles in the Ganges moved in stages and got stuck — but once at sea covered greater distances, following coastal currents before dispersing (扩散) more widely.”
The 500ml containers were made the size, shape and buoyancy (浮力) of one normal plastic drink bottle to copy the movement of real rubbish. And open source hardware was used for the electronics inside, meaning researchers can “copy, modify or improve the solution we presented to track other plastics,” the team said.
“This could be used to teach about plastic pollution in schools, with children able to see where their bottle goes,” said another researcher. “Data from these tags could feed into global models to give us a clearer picture of how plastic moves across the ocean and where it ends up.”
【1】Why did the researchers put GPS and satellite tags in the bottles?
A.To learn the bottles’ travel route.
B.To measure the bottles’ drifting time.
C.To prevent the bottles from being lost.
D.To test the satellite network technology.
【2】What can be inferred about plastic pollution according to Emily Duncan?
A.It has caused global concern.
B.It can’t be effectively monitored.
C.It spreads more quickly than expected.
D.It can be controlled in the early stage.
【3】What can we know about the bottles used in the research?
A.They are full of real rubbish.
B.They are of the same shape.
C.They won’t get stuck at sea.
D.They have more buoyancy.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The benefit of the research.
B.The findings of the team.
C.The tracks of the bottles.
D.The importance of data analysis.
22、 Newton's law of motion ( 运动定律).where every action has a reaction, is appropriate not just to physics. 【1】 from the value of products and prices of produces to customer choices, advertising affects society and plays an important role in increasing business sales.
【2】 When companies use advertising, sales increase, according to Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, founder of a French advertising company. The increase in business sales also promotes the quality of life for consumers. Basically, advertising causes a chain reaction that increases the economy of the area where the product or service ad is.
【3】 In the minds of consumers, advertising can add value to a product. The image or brand that advertising helps to create becomes a part of the product, which is what makes one product brand more valuable than the competitors. This is why a consumer may be willing to pay a higher price for a name brand product rather than buy a brand they are not familiar with at a lower cost.
Pricing. 【4】 It spurs (促进)a sense of competition. When one company advertises a product for its price, its competitors want to stay competitive. Then they may lower their prices to meet the competition.
Consumer choice. Advertising also has an influence on businesses because it leads to the creation of new products and improvement of existing products to meet consumers' needs. 【5】However, when advertising introduces a new product that is better than the existing one. market share can quickly shift to the company offering the newly-advertised product.
A. Product value.
B. Product quantity.
C. Economic influence.
D. Advertising can be a form of price control.
E. An increase in competition has effects on the market.
F. One company may possess a larger share of the market for a time.
G. It is also true that advertising causes reactions that occur in society and business.
23、 Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their life. They are leaves tossed (摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. Losers think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible for either reinforcing (强化) good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
【1】People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ________.
A. are ready to change their minds
B. are easily affected by windy weather
C. don’t have the power to face their fate
D. can’t exercise control over themselves
【2】Losers would think that ________.

【3】It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that ________.
A. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
B. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
【4】The last paragraph serves as ________.
A. the proof of the author’s points
B. the conclusion of the argument
C. an introduction to another topic
D. a comparison between two views
