8、classes.BThey prepare students for the SAT test.CThey are designed for junior high students.DThey aim to promote students writing skills.Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our countys longstanding problems: garbage and poverty. Its called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-
9、year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty Chip bags in the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lays, and other favorites at two l
10、ocations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice then open, lay them fat, and iron them together.It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300
11、 chip bags, depending on whether theyre single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroil News.Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 80,000 chip bags and, as of last December,
12、 created 110 sleeping bags.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new seeping bags. But thats only half the goal for Oleita whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life and her fellow volunteers. “We are committed to making a
13、n impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.And, of course, theres the symbolism of salvaging bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. Its a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdet

16、escribes Eradajere Oleita?ADevoted and creative.BDetermined and honest.CAmbitious and humorous.DCaring and independent.Scientists in Australia have discovered that they can use the worlds smelliest fruits to make devices that could power electric cars. A durian is a fruit that looks like a pineapple
17、. It is a delicacy in some Asian countries, but its smell is so unpleasant that some of those countries have banned it from public places. Its smell has been compared to rotting eggs and even smelly old gym socks.Vincent Gomes and his colleagues at the University of Sydney, in Australia, used a duri
18、an and a jackfruit another fruit known for its terrible smell to make energy storing devices called supercapacitors.Supercapacitors are an alternative to batteries. They cant store as much energy as a normal battery does, but they are much quicker to recharge. Durians and jackfruits contain some of
19、the chemicals used in supercapacitors, which gave Gomes the idea. To make the fruit-based devices, the team heated and then freeze-dried the uneatable cores of the durian and jackfruit to make a special kind of material called an aerogel.Aerogels are one of the worlds lightest solid materials. Often
20、 called “frozen smoke”, they are made by removing the liquid from a gel and replacing it with air. They have many scientific uses, but one of their special properties is the ability to conduct electric currents, which makes them an important part of supercapacitors. The aerogels made from durian and
21、 jackfruit both worked well when placed inside a supereapacitor, although the durian aerogel was found to be the better of the two.The discovery is important because the materials currently used to make supercapacitors are expensive. Using natural foods like durians and jackfruits, Gomes says, could
22、 reduce environmental pollution, as well as costs.8What makes some countries have different attitudes toward the durian?AIts smell.BIts appearance.CIts value.DIts popularity.9Which paragraph mentions Gomess inspiration of innovation?AParagraph 1.BParagraph 2.CParagraph 3.DParagraph 4.10What does the
23、 underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?AAerogels.BScientific uses.CProperties.DElectric currents.11What can we learn about fruit-based supercapacitors?AThey are devices for producing electricity.BThey are chemicals from durians.CThey are green and economical.DThey are light and liquid.By ex
24、amining tiny vessels (血管) inside a persons eyes, doctors might one day be able to predict that persons risk of early death, according to a new study.Past research had shown the retina (视网膜), light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye, as a possible indicator of a persons bjologica
25、l age. The retina offers a unique, accessible “window” to evaluate underlying pathological (病理的) processes of some serious diseases that are associated with increased risks of death. In the new study, the researchers turned to a deep-learning technique that could predict a persons risk of death by a
26、nalyzing the biological age of the retina.Their deep-learning model, a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence thats modeled to learn similar to a human brain, analyzed more than 80.000 images of fundus (眼底) - the internal back surface of the eye that includes the retina. They obtained
27、the images from nearly 47.000 people between the ages of 40 and 69, stored in the UK. Biobank. TO figure out whether their model was accurate, they first analyzed more than 19,000 fundus images taken from more than 1,100 participants who were in relatively good health. The idea was that the retinal
28、biological ages of these people should be fairly similar to their chronological age (实际年龄) .The model was fairly accurate in predicting retinal ages, with an accuracy of within 3.5 years to chronological ages. They then used the model to assess the remaining nearly 36,000 participants fundus photos
29、collected across a span of 11 years. They found that 51 percent of the participants had a “retinal age gap” - the difference between biological and chronological age - of more than 3 years, 28 percent had a gap of more than 5 years and 4.5 percent had a gap of more than 10 years. In other words, the
30、se participants had “older” eyes compared to their chronological age.Those who had larger age gaps had a 49-67 percent higher risk of death from causes other than cardiovascular disease or cancer. With every one year increase in the age gap, the risk of death increased by 2 percent for any cause and
31、 3 percent for causes other than cardiovascular disease and cancer.12What can we know about the retina?AIt causes serious diseases.BIt indicates the risk of death.CIt speeds pathological processes.DIt improves peoples physical health.13How do researchers know the retinal age?ABy examining the nerve
32、tissue.BBy studying the human brain,CBy checking the eyesight.DBy analyzing fundus images.14What percentage of the participants had the largest retinal age gap?A3.5%.B4.5%.C28%.D51%15Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?AA new study is conducted on tiny vesselsBImage technology is
