25、erCFrom the top of Mount Qomolangma to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, plastic continues to pollute the environment, and it creates a significant threat to all life forms on Earth. Despite knowing the effects of plastic pollution, we have not been able to ban the use of plastic products. Now, than

26、ks to the invention of a 17-year-old girl, Arora, we finally have a better choice. This plastic-like material is made from prawn (大虾) shells, and it breaks down 1.5 million times faster than most of the commercial plastic products we use today.The Australian teen first became aware of the impact of

27、plastic waste on the environment when shopping with her mother. She wondered why her mother had to pay for the plastic bags. When asked, the cashier informed her how plastic hurts the planet and that the additional charge was there to encourage people not to use it. This inspired Arora to create a k

28、ind of plastic that would break down faster than the conventional one.But the journey of inventing “eco-friendly plastic” was not easy. She experimented with a number of organic materials such as cornflour and banana peels, both of which had to be ruled out because of their solubility (溶解性). One nig

29、ht, while having dinner, she noticed that the shells of prawns look plasticky. She immediately went to the lab to research. Later, she would describe that dinner as her “Eureka” moment. She extracted the material called “chitin” from the shells and then mixed it with an insoluble protein called “fib

30、roin”, which is found in silk cocoons. Using the combination of these two organic materials, Arora created a plastic-like material that breaks down completely within just 33 days. Moreover, this plastic releases nitrogen when breaking down, which is why it can be used as plant fertilizer.Aroras inve

Humorous and friendly.DEven as self-driving cars become more and more popular, theres one problem that Silicon Valley hasnt solved: the traffic jam. But Airbus Group, a

35、U.S. aeronautics and space company, thinks that it has a solution. The companys Silicon Valley branch recently announced its been working on a secret project titled “Vahana”, an autonomous flying vehicle that can be used for both passenger and cargo (货物) transport.Airbus flying taxi resembles a dron

Developers in France and Germany are working on an electrically operated platform that would allow the flying taxi to carry multiple passengers once between city destinations. Currently, no countries allow comple

37、tely autonomous aerial vehicles, so the vehicle would initially be manned by a pilot.Flight tests of the first Vahana prototype (原型) are planned, in the hope of bringing the product to consumers quickly. Thats about a decade sooner than another future-travel system Hyperloop One. “Im no big fan of S

38、tar Wars, but its not crazy to imagine that one day our big cities will have flying cars making their way along roads in the sky,” says Airbus Group CEO Tom Enders. “In a not too distant future, well use our smartphones to book a fully automated flying taxi that will land outside our front door with

39、out any pilot.”But before you get too excited about beating rush-hour traffic, its worth noting that the company has a lot of technological kinks to work out before the product is ready to test. The same sensor technology that allows self-driving cars to avoid accidents doesnt exist for aerial vehic

60、 Sarah out for some ice cream the night before driving her to college. As they were walking back to the car, they saw a young man sitting on the ground and giving his puppy a cone.“A cute dog,” Donald said as they walked by. “A free dog,” the young man replied. Donald asked him what he meant by that

61、 and the man explained. He was moving away from Vermont and did not think the travel would be good for the dog. He had raised her from a small puppy. The man said she was a 6-month-old cross between the Doberman and the Labrador named Rhubarb. Donald took his phone number. The rest, as they say, is

62、history.Rhubarb was a sweet dog and very friendly and loved everyone. Whenever someone came to the house, she was always happy. She also got along with Willie, an older Samoyed we had. Willie was not well and died about a year later, but, fortunately, Rhubarbs company helped him keep going for longe

She would sometimes get excited when she saw a chipmunk (花栗鼠) and make a little crying sound.One hot night when she was about 4 years old, we went to bed with the windows open and the doors unlocked.

64、At about 3 a. m., I woke up to the sound of Rhubarb barking. I woke Donald and we got out of bed.Rhubarb was coming toward us. We turned on the lights and noticed the door to the kitchen was open. Then we saw the door leading into the house from the garage was also open. We quickly locked all the do

67、omes to the question whether we can order takeout food at school. Some people are in favour of it because it saves them much trouble, allowing them to have delicious food delivered directly to them. However, others dont think it right to do so. They point out that takeout food is usually delivered i

68、n plastic containers. Countless plastic bags and boxes will cause white pollution. Whats more, there can be health risks involved in takeout food. Personally, I will say no to takeout food, which must be banned from entering the school, so that we can have a good environment.第二节 Para 1: The next day

69、 we noticed there was cigarette ash on the floor. Actually, it was a thief who entered our kitchen and garage. Much to our relief, thanks to Rhubarb, the thief stole nothing. I called the police to report the break-in. I also told them nothing had been taken, but they sent a police officer over to t

70、alk with us anyway. In fact, recently many local homes had been broken in on the weekend. Most peoples wallets and purses had been stolen.Para 2: My purse was right next to the door. However, Rhubarb had scared the thief away before he or she could steal it. When the police officer left, he said we

71、should reward Rhubarb with a big steak dinner. Rhubarb lived to be almost 12 years old, but that night was the only time she barked in her entire life. Fortunately, she never saw the need to warn us of any other danger. We were very thankful to Rhubarb. We loved her like a member of the family.听力录音原
