17、nt event. He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to intervi

18、ew him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.“I interviewed him on Austins homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends.

19、e to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UTs College of Fine Arts. “It s the greatest gift Ive ever received,” Carter said. “He did what had to be done to get

20、 me back to school, and I couldnt have done it without him”After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees (学费)without telling Chandler his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carters decision to complete his

21、 degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier.

The only thing that spoils the fun is that the treat is hard to enjoy slowly, often ending up with a sticky melted mess. Now, researchers from Colombias Pontificia Bolivariana Univer

25、sity may have found an unlikely partner to help solve this age-old problem-cellulose fiber(纤维素) extracted from banana plant waste. Bananas, as you probably know, grow in bunches on a tree-like plant. Each bunch is attached to a central stalk, called a rachis(叶轴), which is thrown once the fruit has b

26、een harvested. The team, led by Dr. Robin Zuluaga Gallego, began extracting cellulose nanofibrils (CNFS) from powdered rachis. The tasteless, odorless macro fibers, thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair were then added in various concentrations to 100 grams of ice cream mix.With

27、the right amount of CNFS mixed in, the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than conventional ice cream, extending both its shelf life and the amount of time the treat can be enjoyed. Even more exciting was that the fibers increased the stickiness of low-fat ice cream to levels higher than the

28、full-fat one. Since this is what determines the frozen treats creaminess and texture, CNFS could help create healthier ice cream without compromising on taste.The researchers, who presented their findings at the American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in New Orleans on March 21, 2018, next plan to i

29、nvestigate how different types of fat, such as coconut oil, affect the behavior of CNFS in other frozen treats.The Colombian researchers are not the only one working on creating a slower-melting ice cream. In 2015, scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that a naturally occurring p

30、rotein called BSIA(Bacterial Surface Layer A) was remarkably effective in keeping the treat frozen for longer periods of time. With both teams competing to be the first to get to market, the future of everyones favorite dessert certainly looks promising.28What prevents people enjoying an ice cream s

31、lowly?AThe hot weather.BA kind of fiber from banana.CThe ice creams stickiness.DThe ice creams quick melting.29Which is NOT a benefit of CNFS added to ice cream mix?ATo improve its flavor.BTo make it more healthy.CTo reduce its fat content.DTo make it melt more slowly.30What can be inferred from the

32、 last paragraph?ACNFS are more useful and effective than BSLABIce cream with BSLA has been on sale at the market.CSlowly enjoying an ice cream will soon become a reality.DThe Colombian research team has taken the lead in the competition with the Scottish team.31Whats the authors attitude towards the

33、 finding of CNFS?APositiveBCasualCDefensiveDSuspicious.D Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese, as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. The first, a World Natural Heritage, is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries(候鸟保护地)along the coast of the

34、Yellow Sea in Yancheng, East Chinas Jiangsu Province. The second, the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou, East Chinas Zhejiang Province, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site.China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017. It only took two years to successfully com

35、plete the process. The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area. It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world. The success of this application marks the beginning of Chinas world natural heritage from lan

36、d to sea. The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species, especially threatened migratory birds including red- crowned cranes and flamingos, go there to hunt for food during the migration season. The birds usually take a month to

37、 finish their migration. At about 10 days into their migration, they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey.Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritages application, the Liangzhu application was far more complicated. The application team spe

38、nt six years making their dream a reality. A lot of archaeological work had to be carried out for the Liangzhu site, which means the application and assessment(评定)process takes a longer time. The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yan

39、gtze River during the late Neolithic period in China, which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago. The site was one of the 20th centurys most important archaeological discoveries in China.With these two new additio

40、ns, China now has 55 World Heritage sites, the highest number in the world. The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations(义务). Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work. The new status of the migratory bird sanctuaries might boost local tourism i

41、ndustries but this too poses a challenge as local governments will need to control tourist volume so as not to impact the birds migration patterns. Meanwhile, the sheer area that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers, some 14.3 square kilometers, makes protection a difficult issue to handle. Those

42、 workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure. Plans are also underway to build a local museum for the storage and display of artifacts, so visitors can come and learn more about the history of the nation.3

43、2What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries?AIts the first Chinas world natural heritage on the sea.BIt provides safe habitats for endangered species.CIts located along the coast of the Yellow River.DIt supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds.33According to Paragraph 2, how do mig

44、ratory bird sanctuaries protect birds?ABy creating warm places to produce baby birds.BBy preventing them from being killed by hunters.CBy providing food supplies during their migration.DBy curing the endangered birds after their journey.34Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site?AIt shows

45、the long history of China.BIt proves the wisdom of the people.CIt witnesses the civilization of an age.DIt reveals the food of the late Neolithic.35What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?AThe application successs promotion of tourism.BChinese responsibilities after the successful applicatio
