When she returned many years later, however, she noticed things had changed. “Some of
10、the places where I could swim before now have signs saying polluted water, do not swim,” she says. “I wanted to take my kids to places to swim but we couldnt because these signs were up.”Although the experience was sad and surprising, it has also served as fuel for Scartozzi, whos now focusing on re
11、storing the health of waterways. Her company called eCleanEnvirotech is developing technology to remove pollutants from waterways such as rivers, ponds and streams. It involves feeding polluted water into a system housing microbes (微生物) that eat or break up the pollutants.The “engineered” nature of
12、the technology, Scartozzi explains, means its adaptable for different environment conditions. Each system can be personalized with its own unique “soup” of microbes to remove the pollutants in any waterway where it is installed (安装).Other advantages of the technology, she says, are that it can proce
13、ss water relatively quickly and that it can be used to treat waterways in a variety of sizes and locations.She says she hopes to create cleaner water for the benefit of future generations. “My passion is around restoring the health of these waterways. And my purpose is to do anything that I can to r
14、eturn them to their former condition. Thats what drives me every day. If I can do anything, it is so that in the future, my kids and grandchildren have somewhere where they can go swimming and fishing.”4What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?AScartozzi and her kids were fond of swimming.BTh
15、e experience inspired Scartozzi to clean up waterways.CWaterways in the world were unsuitable for swimming.DThe company focuses on the development of the technology.5What is one advantage of the technology?AIt is convenient and economic.BIt can be used in limited waterways.CIt functions slowly but e

17、ease is one of the major killers in the world today. Many who suffer from it must have heart transplants(心脏移植).However, its difficult to get a suitable heart donation, and eyen if a patient survives the wait, his or her body often rejects the heart.But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart di
18、sease. According to a study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israels Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15.“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” professor Tal Dvir told CNN.Unlike the former 3D-
19、printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels, chambers(心室) and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scientists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the
20、size of a thumb. And, although it can contract like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype(样品) is like a tiny airplane that has all of the right parts, but cant fly.However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine.In the expe
21、riment, the researchers turned human fat tissue into human heart tissue with stem cell technology. The tissue was then turned into “bio-ink” for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a
22、transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection.“Patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medications to prevent their rejection,” researchers told USA Today. “Instead, the needed heart will be printed, fully personalized for every patient.”But the scientists think that 3
23、D printing can be used to create other human organs. They foresee a time when the 3D printing of organs will be an everyday medical practice.“Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world and these procedures will be conducted routinely,” Dvir said.8Why is
24、 the 3D-printed heart important?AIt will be used on a patient.BIt will replace a heart donation.CIt is the first 3D-printed heart.DIt has a complete heart structure.9What problem do 3D-printed hearts have?AThey are too small.BThey are too expensive.CThey cant contract.DThey are hard to produce.10Why
25、 would there be less risk of organ rejection with the 3D-printed heart?AIt would come from a patients body.BIt would be made from human fat tissue.CIt would be made with stem cell technology.DIt would be printed according to the patients condition.11What attitude does Tal Dvir hold toward the future
26、 of 3D printing of organs?ADoubtful.BConfident.CWorried.DPuzzled.What is the place of art in a culture of inattention? Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent
27、 taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background. One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what weve travelled to see. In this society, experience becomes goods like any
28、 other. There are queues to climb Everest as well as to see famous paintings. Thus, leisure is considered as hard labour rather than relaxation. In the rapidly developing society, what gets lost is the quality of looking. Consider an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he vi
29、sited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise. Eve
30、n in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore. Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the
31、 same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried, harried (烦扰) crowd wont do that.12Why does the author mention the examp
32、le in Louvre in Paragraph 1?ATo express his concern about Louvre.BTo report the popularity of Mona Lisa.CTo introduce a good place to take photos.DTo show a disappointing current situation.13Which of the following will Richard Wollheim agree?APeople need to clear up their misunderstanding of paintin
33、gs.BPeople have to stay at least 4 hours when appreciating paintings.CIt is impossible for modern people to admire paintings attentively.DThe longer one admires the paintings, the more unlikely he loves them.14What role does art play in our life according to Marcel Proust?AArt is of help for us to a
34、ccept ourselves better.BArt makes our life more colourful and meaningful.CArt allows us to know the world in the view of others.DArt pushes us away from ourselves and explores the moon.15Which is the best title of the passage?AInto art attentively.BEscape from ourselves.CBeyond art completely.DGo to
35、 the museums often.Why Cooking Meals at Home Benefits More Than Just Your WalletWhen hunger strikes, the convenience of entering a fast-food restaurant or ordering takeout can be terribly attractive. 16 However, when it becomes a routine, your waistline, your wallet and your health can be badly affe
36、cted. Here are four reasons to make cooking at home your option. Its cheaper.You could spend $100 at a fancy restaurant for one dinner, while the same amount of money could buy you groceries for a week. When you shop smart and get creative, you neednt spend more than $1 on breakfast, $2 on lunch and
37、 $4 on dinner to purchase wholesome, healthy foods. Heres how: 17 It may reduce your exposure to certain chemicals.The most surprising benefit of cooking at home can decrease the amount of harmful chemicals youre exposed to. 18 Common in takeout and fast-food packaging, those chemicals have been ass
38、ociated with many diseases. Food packaging can also contain other damaging compounds (化合物).You can better estimate calories. 19 That is why people tend to consume extra calories when dining away from home. On the contrary, you have complete control over the food materials when you cook in your own k
39、itchen. Choosing fiber-packed vegetables and meat containing less fat will help keep your calories under control. So will the way you cook your food. Rather than frying, choose roasting. 20 Many chefs use a lot of salt while cooking. While salt can make food tastier, too much of it is linked to seri
40、ous health issues like heart disease and high blood pressure. At home, you can control the quantity of salt on your plate by seasoning food in other ways, like using lemon juice. The same goes for sugar. You can use smaller quantities of natural sweeteners like honey to add sweetness to your food. T
41、oo much added sugar is linked to some diseases as well.AYou can reduce added salt and sugar.BEating out can make calorie counting tricky.CBuy in large quantities and stick to store-brand items.DSalt and sugar are both essentials in cooking delicious foods.ERelying on food away from home occasionally
42、 is totally acceptable.FPeople are always too engaged in their work to cook at home personally.GPeople cooking at home have lower levels of dangerous chemicals in their bodies.二、完形填空When the weather starts to warm up, we love heading to the beach for a few days. During one such trip, after a few day
43、s of being 21 on the beach and spending too much time walking the boardwalk, we decided to go for a 22 .We 23 a car for the day and drove to Key West. Our 24 was to enjoy a scenic drive on Highway 1 and maybe try some pie and head back, but the day 25 to be more memorable than that.It was a breathta
44、king drive and we kept our eyes glued to the window. The scenery was 26 and felt like we were driving over water. When we were closer to Key West, 27 my husband-stopped the car, grabbed his camera, and ran out looking up at the sky 28 me looking at him confused (困惑的).After a few minutes of looking a
45、nd pointing at a shiny object in the sky, he was pretty 29 to announce hed spotted a UFO. I should 30 here that he loves sci-fi movies and UFO shows and strongly 31 we are not alone.We eventually got back in the 32 , stopped at a nearby store, and asked someone in the parking lot, “Do you see that s
46、hiny thing in the sky?” The man looked up and 33 , “Do you mean that weather blimp (气象飞艇)?” The shiny object in the sky was not an unidentified flying object or alien craft but a weather blimp.It is one of the short funny travel 34 that always come up when we talk about our 35 . It starts with one o
