20、snt grow on trees, you know. Finally, all got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden. Then, one spring morning, on Mothers Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right
21、 in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow (垂柳), because I saw things blowing around on all is branches. Then I put my glasses on and couldnt believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard! I went to have a look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all ove
22、r that tree. There was also a note among them, Thank you for your time, Mom. We love you. Later, my children bought me tools, a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.

28、 So where are all the flying cars? The large majority of people still get to work and school in boring, ground-bound cars. Not to mention buses, trains and bikes. Yet some still dream of a day when we can soar above the traffic on the ground. In Singapore in 2019, the company Volocopter demonstrated
29、 (演示) a flying taxi. An electric engine powers the craft (飞行器), and it doesnt need a runway. A pilot flew the test model. But in the near future, these helicopter-like vehicles will be able to fly by themselves while carrying two or more passengers and their things. If some people traveled in flying
30、 taxis, there would be fewer cars on the roads, thus reducing traffic there. In the 3D space of the air, vehicles can move around each other without bridges or tunnels (隧道) or extra lanes. The taxis could also take off and land on rooftops, freeing up parking lot spaces on the ground. Whats more, fl
31、ying is fun. Wouldnt it be cool to move rapidly through the sky every day on your way to work or school? However, there are quite a few good reasons why we dont already have flying cars. The famous inventor Elon Musk runs the rocket company Space X and electric car company Tesla Motors. So he seems
32、like the perfect person to make flying cars a reality. But he said, If the sky was full of cars flying all over the place, it would affect how things look. It would be noisier and there would be a greater probability of something falling on your head. And aircraft crashes would be more serious than
33、car crashes. Musk thinks building lots of tunnels underground is a safer way for future transportation. He even has a company working on this idea: The Boring Company. (The name is a play on words. Boring means drilling a hole and uninteresting.) What do you think? Are flying cars or taxis a good id
34、ea? Or should we find other ways to solve the worlds transportation problems? 36What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? AThe appearance of a flying taxi. BAn introduction of the company Volocopter. CA flying taxi test model and its coming future. DA personal experience of taking a flying taxi. 37Wh

The new development could lead to easier, high-quality recycling, and help deal with harmful plastic pollution. The world is d
38、rowning (淹没) in plastic, but only about 9% of plastic products are ever recycled. Every year, over 7,720 billion kilograms of plastic finds its way into the worlds oceans. But bacteria may help recycle, even when humans dont. Bacteria are tiny living things so small that you need a microscope to see
39、 them. Bacteria feed themselves in many different ways. Some bacteria can eat other things by changing the chemicals 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 sci
40、ssors, breaking apart other materials. Most people know about PET plastic. Its used in water and soda bottles. About 63.5 billion kilograms are produced every year. Most PET is thrown away, but even when its recycled, it cant be made into new bottles. Usually its turned into products like carpets. I
41、n 2012, in some decaying (腐烂的) leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly breaks apart PET plastic. 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.
42、 They studied the enzyme and the way it attacked the PET. By testing thousands and thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they came up with a new kind of LCC. The new kind can eat through PET very quickly and it can even survive (存活) at higher temperatures. The process turns the PET plastic back
43、into the materials that it was made from. Those materials can then be used again to make new bottles or other products. The researchers tested their new LCC against the original (原先的) enzyme, and were impressed with the results. When the conditions were just right, the new enzyme was able to break u
44、p 90% of the PET in just 10 hours. The original enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke up half of the PET. 41What can we learn about bacteria? AThey can be seen without microscopes. BThey can break apart other materials directly. CThey use enzymes to cause physical changes in things. DThey are ti
45、ny creatures that feed on unusual forms of food. 42LCC to enzyme is like _. Akey to door Bright to left Crose to flower Degg to chick 43What can LCC do to PET plastic? AIt can make PET plastic much harder than before. BIt can make PET plastic no longer a serious pollutant. CIt can change PET plastic
46、 into tiny living things. DIt can prevent PET plastic from breaking down. 44Thanks to LCC, PET plastic could be recycled by _. Abeing turned back into the materials it was made from Bbeing thrown away in some decaying lcaves Cbeing remade into a new kind of soda Dbeing put under high temperatures 45
47、What can we infer (推断) from the passage? AIts very expensive to get LCC from the decaying leaves. BWith LCC, PET plastic will be used more widely in making products. CMore and more PET plastic find its way into the oceans because of LCC. DThe original enzyme can break down the PET plastic more quick

Since she was ten years old, the girl has been traveling around the world. Rkas journey began in 2012. Along with her twin brother and parents, she set off for a short trip t
49、o the United States. Soon after that, the family decided to sell most of their belongings and began traveling around the world. 47 I do go to school it just doesnt have four walls, said Rka.
