21、To deal with a big environmental problem, chemists have been thinking small. Really small. Their new tiny robot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic (塑料的) polluting waterways across the world.
Each new microrobot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (磁的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions (化学反应) that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they catch it and start to break it down. When the lights go out, they let go and are free to be used again. In a new study, the scientists reported that these robots can either break down a piece of microplastic or hold onto it to be collected later.
Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. He says: “Let’s make them do something useful.”
Pumera chose to center on the problem caused by microplastics. It’s a big problem. These are tiny bits of plastic, usually no wider than the top of a pencil eraser. And they’re everywhere — from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice at the top of mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water. Some studies found that too many pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade (分解) or fall apart. That’s always been one of its study points.
Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally-friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world. He thought that at first they might be most useful in plants that treat wastewater. There they can remove plastic before it reaches open water.
In lab experiments, the star-shaped swimmers catch each of four different types of plastic. And after a week exposed (暴露) to light, the robots had reduced the weight of the plastics. It wasn’t much — only by 3 percent. But that was a sign they were breaking the plastic down.
In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. There are many types of plastics. And even these microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading them all.
The researchers also have not yet shown how safe this system is for the environment, although Pumera says that’s their next goal. The first real-world test will be in a waste water-treatment plant.
【1】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Microrobots.
B.Stars.
C.Pencils.
D.Microplastics.
【2】Paragraph 4 is mainly about _______.
A.the experiment carried out by Pumera
B.the functions that the microrobot holds
C.the places where microplastics usually turn up
D.the reason why Pumera invented the microrobot
【3】According to the passage microrobots ______.
A.can break down plastics in the dark
B.prove to be most useful in open water
C.do no harm to the environment at present
D.need further testing before they are put into use
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage people to find more solutions to pollutions.
B.To present a new way of breaking down microplastics.
C.To stress the importance of protecting the water.
D.To explain a serious environmental problem.
22、A huge crowd has gathered to watch China’s new scientific research ship enter the water for the first time. This ship, equipped with on-board labs and the latest scientific kit, will eventually explore the world’s oceans. But it is also going to help China plunge beneath the waves: it will serve as a launch-pad for submarines that can dive to the deepest parts of the ocean. “Humans know much less about the deep oceans than we know about the surface of the Moon and Mars. That’s why I want to develop the facility for ocean scientists to reach the deep seas,” says Prof. Cui Weicheng.
He is the dean of deep sea science at Shanghai Ocean University but he has also set up a private company called Rainbow Fish, which built the new research ship and is busy developing submersibles. One of its unmanned subs reached a depth of 4,000m (13,000ft) in its most recent trial. But Rainbow Fish’s ultimate goal is manned exploration and it plans to take humans to the very bottom of the ocean the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific, at a depth of nearly 11,000m (36,000ft). He shows me around a life-size model of the submarine and explains that there is room inside for a crew of three, who will be protected by a thick metal sphere.”At the moment, we are in the design stage, so we are testing several extremely high-strength materials for it.” It will have to bear immense pressures from the crushing weight of water above. If there are any weaknesses, the submarine will implode. The deepest ocean is a place few people have ever experienced first-hand. The first dive to the Mariana Trench was carried out in 1960 by US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and Swiss engineer Jacques Picard. Their vessel, the Bathyscaphe Trieste, creaked and groaned as it made the descent, taking nearly five hours.
The only other manned expedition was carried out by Hollywood director James Cameron, who took a solo plunge in a bright green submarine in 2012. Rainbow Fish wants its sub to be next. The team insists its venture isn’t about politics and that it is looking to collaborate with American, Russian and European scientists. It is, though, a commercial operation. The company plans to charge people to use its research ship and submarines, and is targeting three groups, says managing director Dr. Wu Xin. “The first is definitely the scientists who are interested in studying deep-sea science and technology. The second group is offshore companies and oil companies. The last one is tourists and adventurers [who] want to go down themselves to have a look at what’s going on there,” he says. This kind of entrepreneurial approach may be a new model for science in China. Deep-sea research is a difficult, high-risk activity — and much of the ocean remains unexplored. But Cui, who hopes to be the first Chinese person to reach the Mariana Trench, believes that China could be the nation to truly open up this final frontier.
【1】What function does the new scientific research ship serve?
A.As a deep-sea facility for tourist adventures
B.As a supply ship for scientific explorations.
C.As a station for observing giant squid.
D.As a launch-pad for submarines.
【2】What is Prof. Cui Weicheng currently doing?
A.Testing high-strength materials for building submarines.
B.Designing a thick metal sphere for bearing space pressure.
C.Charting the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
D.Making plans for his dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
【3】What does “this kind of entrepreneurial approach” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Prof. Cui doesn’t rely on government funding. Instead he runs a for-profit business.
B.Prof. Cui is bold in his submarine design.
C.Prof. Cui, who started the company, is a professor-turned entrepreneur.
D.Prof. Cui is the first to offer his ship for tourists.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?

24、After months of expectation and secrecy, the official mascot (吉祥物) of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games—a giant panda—inspiring cartoon character—made its first public debut with cheers at Beijing's Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.
The panda is named "Bing Dwen Dwen" in Chinese. Bing means" ice "in Chinese, while Dwen Dwen suggests" health and cleverness" —characteristics also shared by pandas. Pandas are perhaps the most recognized animal species in China, organizers said.
"Pandas combine China’s traditional culture and its modem appearance together with winter sports elements in a fascinating image that shows our great expectations for the Games and shows that we welcome the world, "said Beijing Mayor Chen Jining, who also serves as an executive president on the organizing committee.
"I have already seen the mascot and from what I’ve seen, it's a wonderful choice, "IOC President Thomas Bach said before introducing the character. "The mascot really takes in the best elements and characteristics of China and the Chinese people. It will be a great ambassador for the country and the 24th Winter Olympics."
The ring of light surrounding the mascots face is suggestive of ice and snow tracks as well as the flowing "ribbons" of the National Speed Skating Oval. The oval (椭圆形的) is one of two new competition sites in downtown Beijing expected to become a landmark of the Games,according to its chief designer Cao Xue.
The introduction of the mascots marks the key point of a journey that began in August 2018, when Beijing organizers started a design competition for the mascots. A total of 5, 816 designs were received from 35 countries, and were reviewed by Chinese and international experts in a comprehensive evaluation and selection process.
The new mascot will serve as spirited symbol of the Games that will take place in the three zones of downtown Beijing, the suburban district of Yanqing and co-host city Zhangjiakou in surrounding Hebei province.
