had visited it many times. The friend put down her keys and shopping bags, and turned back a moment to Mrs. White.

She and Mrs. White rushed to Mrs. White's apartment and telephoned the police. But there was no time to get help in opening the neighboring apartment. They could see that Lily was already leaning out of the kitchen window. She had climbed onto a chair. and soon she was climbing out onto the window sill(窗台). Mrs. White called to Lily to go back inside. But the little girl did not understand the danger and did not want to go back. She only waved to her mother.

An Unexpected C Plastic—Eating Worm Greater wax moth Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that ends up in landfills(垃圾填埋场) ,and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms(幼虫). Researchers in Spain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大 蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯),which accounts for 40% of plastics. That is to say, part of plastics can be consumed by this kind of worms. The team left 100 wax worms on a plastic shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass—apparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology. Federica Bertocchini, co—author of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food—beeswax—also allows them to break down plastic." Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon—carbon bond, is there as well," she explains. "The wax worm developed a method or system to break this bond."
Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says itis not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify where the enzyme comes from. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)? Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help make use of the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic." 28. What can we learn about the worms in the study? A. They take plastics as their everyday food. B. They can consume plastics. C. They end up in landfills. D. They are new creatures. 29. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to . A. prove the research findings B. discover other kinds of worms C. increase the breakdown speed D. find out the source of the enzyme 30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might . A. help to raise worms B. help make plastic bags C. be used to clean the oceans D. be produced in factories in future 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To propose new means to keep eco—balance. B. To present a way to break down plastics. C. To introduce the diet of a special worm.
D To explain a study method on worms. 第二节:(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填空入白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。请把答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。 The Case for Classics Many high school students complain when they look at a course syllabus(大纲) for Chinese and know they should read TheStoryoftheStone and other pieces of classic literature. 32 But there are some good reasons why reading the classics is an important part of a 21st century education. 33 As students explore texts that were written hundreds of years before, they know the world as it was in those days. Being able to hear those voices from the past is a good chance young people should be grateful to have. Furthermore, as students read classic works, they begin to see history in a new way. Living in the modern world, most teens don't think about that human civilization has been around for a longtime. 34 Yet the experiences of those people can help students deal with the challenge today. The wording and writing style may have changed, but the deep themes (love, loss, and courage) are as true today as they were for the authors of these early works. One of the most important reasons to study classic literature, however, is to expand one's mind. 35 To prove this, a group of scientists gathered volunteers who agreed to have their brains canned while reading phrases from classic literature in both their original form and in modern translations. The result of the study showed a significant increase in the brain activity of people reading the original literature works. 36 It connects students to history, helps them solve today's problems and improves their thinking. Therefore, if today's teens are going to grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers, it is important that elassic literature remains a part of their education.
