smiling in her direction. Amanda waved her hands, inviting Emily to join them. Emily looked nervous, but she took
her plate and walked ahead. Amanda introduced Emily to the other girls sitting at the table. And everyone

Walking Wonder
When was the last time you went for a walk? Where did you go? What was it like? It’s obvious that walking is
good for you, but just how good?
According to an early research, walking is a great kind of exercise because it is good for keeping physical
fitness and controlling your weight. It can also stop heart disease from happening and lower the risk of cancer (癌
症). And walking is sure to be the useful means of improving your mood (情绪) and relieving stress. But now
scientists have discovered something else. A latest study has found that healthy people who walk at least eight
kilometers a week have bigger brains, better memories and improved mental functions(功 能)compared with less
active people. For these reasons, we decided to ask a few people about their walking habits.
“I often go for a walk before lunch in the park near where I work. I find it’s great for building up my appetite
and the lunch tastes much more delicious.” James Barnes.
“I go walking every weekend. It’s the same route but it’s always different. In the autumn, you can pick up the
golden leaves. In the spring when the flowers come out, the colors are incredible. And in winter when it snows, the
crunching sound as you walk is incredible. ” John Nichols.
“I live in the city and often walk home instead of taking the underground. I also walk up and down the stairs
for a bit of exercise. ” Declan Smith.
“London is a great place to walk. I can walk from my home to where I work right through Regent’s Park,
with its tall, majestic tree.” Simon Tressel.
“I’ve been getting ready for the Moon Walk, which takes place in May. It's a walk-a-thon (步行马拉松)
through London to raise money for people with cancer. As part of the training, I’ve been going for long, fast walks
every three days.” Dave Symonds.
So, will you be going for a walk soon?
27. The second and third paragraphs mainly talk about________.
A. the benefits of walking B. the early research about walkingC. the latest study about walking D. the public opinions about walking
28. The phrase “building up my appetite” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ________”.
A. cheering me up B. making me relaxed
C. keeping me happy D. making me eat more
29. The Moon Walk is probably________.
A. an interest club B. a project to keep healthy
C. a fitness center D. a walk to raise money for patients
Recently, researchers have reported on new ways to break down different kinds of plastics. The new studies
could lead to easier high-quality (高质量的) recycling, and help deal with toxic (有毒的) plastic pollution.
The world is being covered by plastic, but only about 9% of plastic products are ever recycled. Every year,
over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic finds its way into the world’s oceans. But bacteria (细菌) may help recycle,
even when humans don’t.
Bacteria are small living things—so small that we need a microscope (显微镜) to see them. Bacteria feed
themselves in many different ways. Some bacteria can “eat” other things by changing the chemicals ( 化学物质) in
those things into something that will help the bacteria grow.
The secret to this is enzymes (酶). Bacteria use enzymes to cause chemical changes. Enzymes can work like a
pair of scissors, cutting and breaking apart other materials.
Most people know PET plastic. It is used in water and soda bottles. About 63.5 billion kilograms of PET
plastic is produced every year. Most PET is thrown away, but even when it is recycled, it can't be made into new
bottles. Usually it’s turned into products like carpets (地毯).
In 2012, in the decaying (腐烂的) leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly breaks apart
PET plastics. Years later, scientists working at the French company Carbios chose LCC from nearly 100,000
enzymes. It was the best at breaking down PET.
But the scientists wanted to improve LCC. They studied the enzyme and the way it attacked the PET. By
testing thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they came up with a new kind of LCC. The new kind can be
alive at higher temperatures and can eat through PET very quickly.
The process turns the PET plastic back into the materials that it was made from.
Those materials can then be used again to make new bottles or other products.
The researchers compared their new LCC with the old enzyme, and were satisfied with the results. When theenvironment was just right, the new LCC was able to break up 90% of the PET in just ten hours. The old enzyme
took about 20 hours and only broke up half of the PET.
30. How much PET plastic is produced every year?
A. About 7.72 trillion kilograms. B. About 63.5 billion kilograms.
C. About 100 thousand kilograms. D. About 2 hundred kilograms.
31. What do you know about the bacteria from the passage?
A. Bacteria can be seen with our eyes.
B. Bacteria can break down other materials directly.
C. Bacteria use enzymes to create physical changes in things.
D. Bacteria are small living things that feed on unusual forms of “food”.
32. According to the passage, what is the relationship between PET plastic and LCC?
A. The earliest LCC couldn’t break down PET plastic.
B. LCC can help stop PET plastic from breaking down.
C. PET plastic can now be recycled faster because of a new kind of LCC.
D. The used PET plastic will become another kind of pollution because of LCC.
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Bacteria: Growing by eating chemicals
B. Enzymes: Working like a pair of scissors
C. PET: Being widely to make water and soda bottles
D. LCC: Leading to easier high-quality PET plastic recycling
四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。
Becoming a Minimalist (极简主义者)
I have too many things. My bedroom is often very messy. I have shelves with dirty books I never read and
CDs I don’t listen to. My drawers are filled with clothes I never wear. I was getting upset that I never had any space
in my bedroom. Then I read about minimalist. Minimalist suggests that you only keep the most necessary and
important things and get rid of (处理掉) everything else. After reading about minimalism I felt encouraged to solve
my problem.
I started clearing out a lot of the things which I didn’t use. I collected bags of clothes to give to charity (慈善
,
机构 ). I sold some of the CDs and books online. Although I knew that I would never need these things againI still found it very difficult to get rid of them. My brain tried to stop me from letting them go. I said to myself “I
might need that in the future!” or “Won’t I be sad if I lose that?” But the thing was, I knew I couldn’t keep
everything.
After getting lots of things out of my room, I actually became quite excited to see the tidy room with some
fresh space. And an organized bedroom also makes me have a clear and organized mind! The main idea behind
minimalism is to cut down what you own and really value the things you have. It’s not easy to be a minimalist. We
are often told that it is better to have more things. Advertisements try to make us believe that we will only be happy
by spending more money to buy more things. Of course, I’m not a perfect minimalist—I’ve only just started. I still
own a lot of things which I don’t really need, but I think this was a good start. In the future, I will be more mindful
of what I buy. And I will continue to make an effort to get rid of what I don’t need.
