RoyalEdinburghMilitary TattooD.EdinburghInternational Film FestivalBGetting drunk on ice cream used to be the stuff of dreams,but thanks to Will Rogers,inventor and owner ofWDS Dessert Stations in Hinkley,Illinois,it has become a delicious reality.The Below Zero icecream machine usesa unique technique to freeze alcohol,which allows you to turn beers,cocktails and even spirits(烈酒)intodelicious soft serve ice cream.Rogers was trying to create a highly caffeinated espresso ice cream flavor when he realized hecould usethe same technique with alcoholic beverages.He started experimenting with various gums and stabilizerscommonly used in the ice cream industry and eventually patented something called the NEA gel.Its this magicalconcoction(调制品)that allows the alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the Below Zero ice cream machine.Even though Below Zero changes the texture(质地)of beer,cocktails and even spirits,essentially turningthem into soft serve ice cream,it does not affect the alcohol contentat all.The ABV(酒精度)remains exactlythe same,which means you can get drunk on ice cream just as you would on the same concoctions in liquidform.Will Rogers claims that it takes around 30 minutes for beer to go from liquid to ice cream form,but higheralcohol content drinks take longer.Essentially,the higher the alcohol level,the longer the wait.The American inventor plans to sell Below Zero ice cream machines to bars and breweries wanting to surprisetheir patrons.Metro reports that machines will sell for about 6,000.4.Whats the name of the machine which can change beer and spirits into ice cream?A.Will RogersB.WDS Dessert StationsC.HinkleyD.Below Zero5.What makes alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the machine?A.gums.B.stabilizers.C.NEA gel.D.ABV.6.What can we know from the passage?A.The machine can change all liquids into ice cream.B.It takes 20 minutes for beer to change into ice cream.C.The higher the alcohol level,the shorter the wait will be.D.The machine changes the texture of beer,cocktails and even spirits.7.What can we infer from the passage?A.The machine affects the alcohol content.B.You can get drunk if you have icecreams made from spirits.C.The American inventor doesnt want to sell themagical machine.D.Bars and breweries will not become potential buyers of the machine.CA world in which extinct creatures could be brought back to life came a step closer yesterday.Australianscientists have managed to extract a gene from a preserved sample of a Tasmanian tiger and make it active.Thebreakthroughhas left them dreaming that one day they will be able to recreate the animal,which died outmore than 70 years ago.And if it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger,it may also be possible to resurrect(复活)creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever,but no more,”said Professor Mike Archer.“We arenow able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone for ever.What has been achieved is a veryimportant step in bringing back those animals that are extinct.And while I think that technically it is still prettydifficult at the moment,we can now see the possibilities.Im personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will bebrought back to life in my lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne,whoextracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum.They removed theequivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as the mouse continued togrow normally,suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr.Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to“induce(引起)a functional response in another living organism”.However,the animals entire gene structure would have to be revived in the same way to even begin thepossibility of bringing the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead.Mick Mooney,a wildlife officer ofthe Tasmanian Government,was worried that such developments couldencourage peoples indifference to the protection of endangered species.“If people think that we can bring animals back to life after theyve gone,they will start saying that there isnothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”8.What does the underlined word“breakthrough”in the l paragraph refer to?A.Scientists have recreated new animals.B.Scientists have resurrected endangered animal.C.It has turned out that some creatures would not go extinct.D.A tiger gene has been extracted successfully and activated.9.Scientists are carrying out the experiments in order to _.A.bring extinct animals back to lifeB.transplant the genes of tigers into other animalsC.find out what factors lead to the animals extinctionD.find a new way to extract animals DNA10.Mike Archer thinks that _.A.scientists now have no technological difficultyreconnecting extinct animalsB.itll be a century or so before a Tasmanian tiger walks on the earth againC.humans have come closer in reconnecting extinct animalsD.reconnecting extinct animals is impossible11.We can learn from Mick Mooncys words that_.A.he thought it unnecessary to worry about endangered animalsB.his opinion is in contrast with that of the Tasmanian GovernmentC.he thought people should be encouraged to protect endangered animalsD.he is concerned that bringing extinct animals back to life may have a negative effectDThere will be more plastic than fish in the worlds oceans by 2050.That is what a new report from the WorldEconomic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns.If the current trend continues,the report said,oceanswill contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025.By 2050,plastics will weigh more than fish.Theproblem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world.This is the same asdumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water.Plastic containersand other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans.Unlike other types of trash in theocean,the plastic never bio-degrades.There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans people can recycle more.Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled.Research in Europe shows asmuch as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology.The report says that another solution isusing less plastic for packaging products.But that is not likely to happen.“Given plastic packagings many benefits,both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramaticreduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low,”the report said.But the authors note reducingthe use of plastics should be tried“where possible.”For decades,scientists warned that plastics are killing fish.Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics.Another cause of death is that plasticscause“intestinal blockage and starvation,”the environmental group said.12.Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.To explain how plastics end up in the ocean.B.To warn people against the ocean pollution.C.To clarify the seriousness of the problem.D.To point out some details of the report.13.Why is plastic more dangerous than other types of trash?A.There is too much of it.B.It poisons the ocean water.C.It is from different sources.D.It is hard to break down.14.What is the authors attitude to the suggested solutions?A.Pessimistic.B.Curious.C.Unconcerned.D.Terrified.15.What can we infer from the text?A.People are not aware of the problem.B.Recycling is limited by lack of technology.C.Plastic packaging has become part of our life.D.Fish in the ocean will be replaced by plastics.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0
