16、 around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised 70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. Whites second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the

17、 fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle(车座)and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike

18、 chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.The j

19、ourney was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers

20、and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow,

21、 hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.24.

C. modest. D. imaginative.CReducing plastic waste isnt easy because the cheap material is found in almost every

24、household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) products came from concern at the countrys high pollution rate. Indonesia is

25、 home to four of the worlds worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does no

26、t require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, its easy for the company to find the material.Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe

27、 to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days after theyre thrown away.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is

28、 still very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.28. What problem

29、did Evoware decide to deal with first?A. Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.B. How to deal with single-use packaging.C. Means to contribute to the countrys economy. D. What nutritious materials for people to use.29. Why did Evoware choose seaweed?A. It could be found everywhere in his coun

Sometimes its hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.B. Their seaweed products have won governm

31、ent support.C. Their new products have received worldwide popularity.D. The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.31. What does the underlined word “hard-sell” (in Para. 5) refer to?A. Something lasting long. B. Something commonly seen.C. Something easy to get. D. Something hard to ac

32、cept.DWhy do you go to the library? For books, yesbut you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone elses life. At one type of library you can do just thateven though theres not a single book.At a Human Library, instead of books, you can bor

33、row people. People with unique life stories volunteer to be the books. For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating as any you can find in a book. (If you attend, make sure to review the habits that make you a good listener.) Many of

34、the stories have to do with some kind of depressing topic. You can speak with a refugee, a soldier suffering from PTSD (创伤后遗症), a homeless person and a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to take time to truly get to know and learn from someone they might otherwise make a snap

35、 judgement about. According to its website, the Human Library is a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Romni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern Europea

36、n festival.
