11、y and I stopped singing. Then, in the summer of 2019, I found myself facing some shadows in my own life. It felt as if it had been a long time between songs, as if there was something unsung, some absent music in my ears. I began to fear I might be making myself ill and unable to breathe in a normal

17、 in a Choir C Dinosaurs wandered the earth for 160 million years until their sudden disappearance some 65.5 million years ago. For many years, climate change had been considered as a possible explanation. Lower temperatures made it hard for dinosaurs, which were cold-blooded, to obtain body heat fro
18、m the sun and the air. Also, their food supplies were interrupted. In recent years, there has been a new theory about how an object struck Earth and caused dinosaurs to die off. A number of researchers have presented evidence that the impact was caused by an asteroid (小行星), which came from an area b
19、etween the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. But a study by two astronomers from Harvard University presents another new theory: the crash was caused by a comet (彗星). The researchers say the comet came from an area, known as the Oort cloud, on the edge of the solar system. Their theory states the comet wa
20、s pulled into the solar system by Jupiters gravity. The comet then came very close to the sun, whose force made it break into pieces. The researchers believe one of the pieces crashed into the place that scientists have identified in Mexico. Jupiter is so critical because its the largest planet in o
21、ur solar system, said Amir Siraj, the lead author of the study. He added that the findings showed that Jupiters large influence pushes these incoming long-period comets into orbits that bring them very close to the sun. The event is believed to have caused widespread wildfires, earthquakes and ocean
22、 waves. It also released chemicals into the atmosphere, leading to severe cooling. The event is to blame for destroying more than 70 percent of plant and animal life. In addition, dinosaurs died out. The study also suggests that similar impacts can be expected to strike Earth about once every 250 to
23、 730 million years. But the other lead researcher on the project, professor Avi Loeb, noted that is just a guess. You never know when the next one will come, he said. The best way to find out is to search the sky. 8.What made dinosaurs disappear according to many researchers? A.Loss of food supplies

26、s Affect Earth C.Who Is to Blame for Earths Change?D.When Did Dinosaurs Become Extinct? D For companies around the world and across industries, sustainability(可持续发展) has rapidly gone from a nice-to-have to a must-have. Some famous companies have announced ambitious plans to remove single-use plastic
27、s, reduce carbon release and otherwise shrink their environmental footprint in various ways. Newlight Technologies hopes to speed up that process. The company has spent more than a decade developing a material called AirCarbon, which functions exactly like plastic but is completely biodegradable(可生物
28、降解的). Newlight developed the material using microorganisms found in the ocean that feed on methane and carbon dioxide two greenhouse gases among the biggest contributors to climate change. The organisms turn those gases into a natural polymer(聚合物) that can be shaped just like plastic. We call that A
29、irCarbon because its air and carbon that can mix with and become part of water, CEO Mark Herrema said. We have this pure white powder that we can then melt and form in all kinds of parts and pieces. The companys new production facility is filled with large saltwater tanks that recreate ocean conditi
30、ons, allowing the organisms to make the polymer from which AirCarbon can be obtained. Newlight recently began rolling out its first set of products made from the material, launching two brands. Its foodware brand, Restore, sells biodegradable straws, knives, forks and spoons, while its fashion brand
31、 Covalent sells handbags, wallets and sunglasses. And because the process of developing AirCarbon uses gases from the atmosphere, the products are carbon negative, meaning they take out more pollutants than they produce. Newlight has received carbon negative certifications from several organizations
32、 for its products. Newlights current products are costlier than some traditional products available on the market, since the company has just one facility, which makes it hard to keep prices down. At present, Newlights AirCarbon products can remove 100 million pounds of carbon dioxide per year. But
33、Herremas goal is to build more facilities as quickly as possible and eventually increase that number to 20 billion pounds, which he says is how much plastic ends up in the ocean each year. 12. What is the advantage of AirCarbon? A. It is more flexible than plastic.B. It can partially break down. C.
34、It helps reduce greenhouse gases.D. It is an artificial polymer like plastic. 13. Why has Newlight been certified carbon negative? A. Its products are of good quality.B. Its products are energy-saving. C. It develops two sustainable brands.D. It removes more carbon than it releases. 14. What might b
35、e the challenge for Newlights AirCarbon products? A. Limited production.B. Low profits. C. Few customers.D. Poor marketing. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. New technology that reduces carbon release. B. Greenhouse gases that can be used for products. C. Ocean microorganisms that feed on
36、 greenhouse gases. D. A plastic alternative that might help solve climate change. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Think about a self-improvement goal you have, like earning a promotion at work or losing weight.
