21、From raindrops in the Rockies to the very food on our plates, we’ve woven a complicated web for ourselves out of plastic. It’s strong and flexible and cheap. It’s also a great danger for the planet, though.

But new research from Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland suggests there may be a way to deal with this mess—with a little help from spiders, and our environmental heroes, trees.

In a paper published this month in Science Advances, the scientists claim to have developed a new material by sticking cellulose (纤维素) fibers from wood to the silk protein found in spider webs. The result? A strong, flexible material that could do everything plastic does better — except, of course, block up the planet. In other words, they dug into nature’s cookbook to combine just the right ingredients to create a material that does all things plastic does — but what matters most is that, since it’s entirely biodegradable (可生物降解的), it goes back to nature when its job is done.

The bio-material is so effective, researchers are consider using it as a possible replacement for plastic in everything from the medical and textile industries to packaging. Then, how many hard-working spiders would we need to increase its production to that of plastic? For their research, the Finnish scientists didn’t use a single thread of spider silk, but rather produced webbing from bacteria with synthetic (合成的) DNA.

“Because we know the structure of the DNA, we can copy it and use this to produce silk protein molecules (分子) which are chemically similar to those found in spider web threads,” lead researcher Markus Linder of Aalto University explains in the release. “The DNA has all this information contained in it.”

【1】Why do the researchers develop the new material?

A．To find a cheaper way to produce plastic.

B．To make the web woven out of plastic stronger.

C．To make better use of the silk protein from spiders.

D．To solve the mess caused by using too much plastic.

【2】What’s the advantage of the new material over plastic?

A．Highly-effective.

B．Environment friendly.

C．Low-cost.

D．Easy-to-produce.

【3】What makes it possible to increase the production of the new material?

A．Using synthetic DNA.

B．Raising plenty of spiders.

C．Planting lots of trees.

D．Introducing hard-working spiders.

【4】Which section of a website does the text probably belong to?

A．Fashion.

B．Health.

C．Science.

D．Environment.

22、   Small seating in the economy-class (经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life-threatening. Space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.

A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane's safety tips in case of emergency. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.

A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a menace to passengers, "We don't think it is a safety matter," he said, "We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet them?" In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy.

Until recently, economy class was at least “bearable”— with an 86-centimeter seat Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable eats. But the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres. Some Qatar Airways offer the chance to upgrade - at a price - to seats which, at 89-91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines.

【1】Which is true according to the report from doctors of Vienna?

A.10% of passengers in economy class adopt the brace position.

B.More spaces could increase the chance of survival.

C.30% of passengers on board adopt the brace position.

D.Passengers in first class are most likely to survive.

【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3?

A.Threat. B.Advantage. C.Bonus. D.Concern.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.

B.Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could increase danger in the crash.

C.Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat.

D.Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge,

【4】Where does the passage most probably come from?

A.A biography. B.A book review. C.A magazine. D.A realistic novel.

23、   Even for a civilization as advanced as the Harappan, a second drought was perhaps one too many. The climate disaster may be what drove the ancient society to disappear step by.

The Harappan started in the Indus valley around 5200 years ago, strongest around 2600 BC. Much about them is unknown. Yet archaeological remains tell the story of the people, skilled in trade and city planning, and particularly good at controlling water. Their huge cities, complete with excellent systems for underground water and public baths, existed long before the Roman Empire.

But by 1900 BC, their society seemed to be on the fall, and by 1300 BC, the Harappan civilizations had broken down. Several ideas have been put forward to explain the downfall, including invasion and climate change. One recent study refers to a major drought in the northern half around 4200 years ago. This event was recently considered as the start of the Meghalayan period. It is thought to have broken up climate systems around the world, including the summer monsoon rainfall the Harappan depended on.

Nick Scroxton at University College Dublin, Ireland, and his team are now challenging this idea after studying 10 ancient records. They found some facts of a sudden drought starting around 4260 years ago. The study suggests the Harappan faced a sharp decrease in winter rain. “The civilization suffered, that's for sure,” says Scroxton. But that wasn't the end of the Harappan. “Their politics might change, the crops might change, the location of their cities changes, but they adapt,” says Scroxton.

Some 300 years later, however, just as the winter rains were starting to recover, a hottest drought kicked off. This was a slowing reduction in the sum monsoon rains over several centuries. Scroxton and his team say this second drought changed the Harappan into a poor society that disappeared at last.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The trade with the Roman Empire. B.The site of the Harappan civilization.

C.The rise of the Harappan civilization. D.The similarities between Roman and Harappan.

【2】How did Nick's team conduct the study?

A.By tracking the rainfall. B.By moving into the city.

C.By building climate systems. D.By researching ancient records.

【3】What may have really ended the ancient Harappan civilization?

A.The monsoon rainfall. B.Double climate disaster.

C.The invasion of Roman. D.The change of the cities.

I still remember it，like it was yesterday when my parents told me the news. It was the week  before Christmas on Thursday morning when my parents said, “Stacy, start packing your things so we can go to Florida for the holidays.”

It’s kind of a family tradition we have.We go every year because we like to visit some family members living in Florida.There has never been a year when we’ve missed a trip to Florida for the holidays. I was so excited to go on this  trip because Christmas is my favorite holiday, but to top it off I was going to get to celebrate it with my family.

The next morning, my mother entered my room. “Stacy, wake up! We need to go to the airport so that we can get our plane tickets to Florida before they sell out.”

I jumped out of bed and got ready as fast as I could.When we were on our way to the airport，I couldn’t stop talking and smiling because I was too excited about getting our tickets.

“Aren’t you just excited to go to Florida?” I asked.

“Yes, I am.We can finally catch up with the family and drink hot cocoa,” responded my mother.

The airport was so crowded. Some people were leaving to other countries and others were just visiting for the holiday. There was such a huge line in the airport because so many different people were buying plane tickets.

When it was our turn, my mother said, “Three tickets to Florida on Christmas Eve please.”

The lady working there responded, “Well, you guys are lucky.You got the last three tickets to Florida.”

My mother and I both smiled in relief and paid for our tickets and went back home to finish packing.
