23、After 14 years, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, the Nertherlands, finally announced the recovery of two Vincent van Gogh paintings on Friday, thanks to a recent operation by Italian police." The paintings have been found! That I would be able to ever pronounce these words is something I had no longer dared to hope for. "said Axel Ruger, director of the Van Gogh Museum, at a press conference in Naples, Italy, where Italian police announced the success of their operation.
Vincent Willem Van Gogh (30 March 1853 -29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.

According to Italian media reports, the paintings were discovered in a house belonging to an international drug dealer group based in Castellammare di Stabia, about I9 miles south-east of Naples
When the paintings were stolen in 2002, the lost was considered one of the"top 10"art crimes that year, according to British newspaper The Guardian. The paintings have no frames and show signs of some damage but remain " in fairly good condition, " the Van Gogh Museum said in a statement posted on its website. As further investigation and legal procedures on the local crime organization are underway, it's not clear when the paintings will be shipped to Amsterdam.

24、Imagine a new smartphone product. It works the same as any other smartphone, but when dropped, those cracks that appear after an annoying fall slowly begin to fade away, and the phone magically repairs itself、A team of researchers led by chemistry professor Takuzo Aida have found a way to create self-repairing plastics that can be used in smartphones, cars and other products. But their new plastics won’t only be used to create unbreakable products, but also help the fight against growing wastes harming the planet.
91% of plastic is non-recyclable and filling Earth with waste. The increasing plastic in landfills is a growing concern due to its negative environmental impact. In 2019 about only9% of plastics were recycled globally, leading Japanese scientists to seek to find plastic that can start its own formation or self-repair.
The self-repairing plastics are made by adding a tiny amount of a specialized substance into ordinary plastic to hold the monomers (单体) together by hydrogen bonds (氢键). When the new plastic is broken down by heat, instead of burning to waste, the hydrogen bonds mix and allow for the formation of special shaped monomers to create a foundation for more monomers to layer on and rebuild itself. The team found that their self-healing plastic was able to automatically repair at room temperature over an hour to regain its durability.
The team’s work suggests great prospects for the future of plastic. “The technique could lead to the development of a made-to-last plastic that does not need to be recycled,” lead professor Aida said at the conference, “and can one day be in products from smartphones to cars and even buildings.”
【1】What is the special feature of the new plastics?
A.Hard to break.
B.Cheap to produce.
C.Good to health.
D.Easy to recycle.
【2】What drove scientists to search for the new plastics?
A.Global warming.
B.Industrial needs.
C.Economic crisis.
D.Green awareness.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the new plastic?
A.Its social effect.
B.Its main function.
C.Its working principle.
D.Its economic value.
【4】What is Aida’s attitude towards the new plastic?
A.Doubtful.
B.Favorable.
C.Disapproving.
D.Unconcerned.
