motivated to find a solution to英语试卷第英语试卷第 5页页(共共 12 页页)this problem,”Bhave said.That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex.Made entirely from plastic bags,the materiallooks and feels like leather.That sounds promising.Better yet,the production process requires noadditional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products.The result is a smart-looking pairof white low-top sneakers.Bhave wouldnt expose the full process for making ThaelyTex,but he said that each pair ofshoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles.Where do they get the materials?Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part.“The biggest challenge we faced was right at the firststep of acquiring the plastic bags.”Finally,they got help from TrioTap Technologies,a waste management plant.Bhave saidthey offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.So far,it seems like things are falling into place.There are already hundreds of pre-orders inplace.It sounds like they have some plans for the future.“We have a few more colors comingup,”said Bhave.They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing.Letshope their growth is also friendly to the environment.24.Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags?A.To set a new footwear trend.B.To test new materials for footwear.C.To use recycled plastic in an environment-friendly way.D.To

advice to drink eight glasses of water per day to stay healthy could be misleading,anew study has found.The research looked at data from 5,600 people across 26 countries with ages ranging fromseven days old to 96 years old.It found that people may need less than this amount per day,butrequirements can vary on an individual basis.“The science has never supported the old eight glasses thing as an appropriate guideline,mainly because it confused total water turnover*with water from drinks.And a lot of your watercomes from the food you eat,”says lead author of the study,Professor Dale Schoeller.“Thisstudy is the best weve done so far to measure how much water people actually consume on adaily basis,and the major factors that drive water turnover.”Results show daily water needs peak among men aged 20-29,but they remain the same forwomen from the age of 20 to 55.The team also found that mens and womens waterrequirements differ by about two glasses,or half a liter.The average 20-year-old man of normalweight living in a temperate climate would take in and lose about 3.2 liters every day.For women,that number is closer to 2.7.According to the study,physical activity level explained the largest proportion of thedifferences in water turnover,followed by sex,the Human Development Index(人类发展指数),and age.The researchers found hunter-gatherers and farmers in developing nations had higherwater turnover than those in industrialized economies.In other words,the lower your homecountrys Human Development Index,the more water you go through in a day.“Thats representing the combination of several factors,”Schoeller continues.“Those peoplein low HDI countries are more likely to live in areas with higher average temperatures,and morelikely to be performing physical labor.That,plus being less likely to have access to a sip of cleanwater whenever they need it,makes their water turnover higher.”The results of the study will have an influence on global warming.The researchers hope thatthe study will be able to help to predict more specific and accurate future water needs.*water turnover:水周转量，即水的总交换量，包括了我们摄入的水分和流失的水分。28.What can be learned from the new study?A.Women need less water per day when turning twenty.B.Men consume the most water per day in their 20s.C.Men consume two liters of water per day more than women.D.The daily water turnover of a man doubles that of a woman.英语试卷第英语试卷第 7页页(共共 12 页页)29.Whats Professor Dale Schoellers attitude towards the eight glasses theory?A.Approved.B.Objective.C.Negative.D.Unclear.30.Which are the factors

the country a person lives in.A.acdB.bcdC.abdD.abc31.What does Schoeller explain in the sixth paragraph?A.The water shortage problem faced by low HDI countries.B.The poor living condition of people in low HDI countries.C.Why people living in low HDI countries have higher water turnover.D.Why people living in low HDI countries cannot get clean water.DUsing the power of artificial intelligence(AI),scientists have revealed new insights into thecreation and destruction of mass extinction.Contrary to conventional knowledge,their studysuggests that larger extinctions are not always a form of“creative destruction”that allows neworganisms to radiate(向周围辐射出去）and evolve.Instead,it suggests that mass extinction israrely associated with new species of radiation.Dr.Hoyal Cuthill,the lead study author from the University of Essex in the UK and theTokyo Institute of Technology,said in a statement,“Some of the most challenging things tounderstand the history of life are the vast timelines involved and the number of species.Newmachine learning applications can help us understand the information in human-readable form.This means that we can,so to speak,hold the evolution of half a billion years in the palm of ourhand and gain new insights from what we see.”They concluded that mass extinction and later radiation were not connected as previouslythought.Within 5 percent of the most significant periods of disruption(中断)，AI detected“bigfive mass extinctions,seven more mass extinctions,two mass extinction-radiation events and 15mass radiations.Most importantly,it discovers that massive radiation and extinction rarelyoccurred with each other,changing the view that greater extinction leads to a kind of deepcycle-like species radiation of nature.It appears that larger extinctions are certainly not the英语试卷第英语试卷第 8页页(共共 12 页页)engine of evolutionary radiation.Take the Cambrian Explosion for example and it was about 41million years ago when a large group of animals first appeared on the first fossil record and thedawn of a high mobile animal equipped with modern physical features.This new study found that a handful of other notable explosions of biodiversity,includingthe Cambrian Explosion,usually occurred at a time when they were largely isolated(孤立的)fromextinction.Dr.Nicholas Guttenberg,a study co-author from the Tokyo Institute of Technologyexplained,“Ecosystems are dynamic and you dont need anything to exist to allow somethingnew to appear.”32.Whats the function of the first paragraph?A.To analyze the cause of creative destruction.B.To tell us the result of the new study.C.To explain the power of artificial intelligenceD.To present the conventional idea of mass extinction.33.What do Dr.Hoyal Cuthills words imply?A.NewAI machines learn applications better.B.Its difficult to understand the history of life.C.New species appear before mass extinction.D.AI contributes a lot to the study of evolution.34.Why is the Cambrian Explosion mentioned in the text?A.To provide knowledge of history.B.To highlight the importance ofAI.C.To support the new study.D.To prove the previous view is right.35.What is the text mainly about?A.Anew understanding of mass extinction.B.The processes of biological evolution.C.Animal species with modern physical featuresD.The relationship between mass extinction and

ever been on an international flight leaving the United States and going toanother English-speaking country like the United Kingdom,youve probably noticed that thereare a few differences between the American and British spellings of words with the samemeaning.36.The American English spelling is“airplane”while the British English spellingis“aeroplane”.So,why does this happen?Lets look at the root of the phenomenon.37.“British English has a general tendency tofavour spellings and words that remind people of French,but American English,when it hasdeviated(背离)from what British English does,often changes into the direction of seeming lessFrench,”says Lynne Murphy,author of The Prodigal Tongue:The Love-Hate RelationshipBetwee
