19、ker? If so, youre not alone. Every day around the world millions of cups of this popular brew are drunk, and its been that way for thousands of years. The oldest discovered tea is from the Han Dynasty, dating from 206BC to 220AD.But its thought that the tea trend really took off during the Tang Dyna

20、sty in the 8th Century, when it became Chinas national drink. Now, Turkey, the Republic of Ireland and the UK are believed to be the biggest tea-drinking nations, per capita.Tea is consumed in many: ways - slurped,sipped or glugged. It can be poured from pots, infused or brewed in the cup using tea

21、bags - and its this latter process that is causing concern. Research last year found some premium tea bags might be leaving billions of microscopic plastic particles in the cup. Scientists from McGill University in Montreal found that some plastic tea bags shed high levels of microplastics into wate

22、r. However, The World Health Organization says such particles in drinking water do not appear to pose a risk.Most tea bags are made from paper, with a small amount of plastic used to seal them shut -made from oil. This has led to debate about whether they can be recycled, but many are still composte

23、d.However,gardener Mike Armitage has told the BBC that the plastic contained in the soil could be washed into streams and rivers and ultimately out to sea.Unilever,the owners of the tea brand PG Tips, said their tea bags are made with a small amount of plastic -used to seal them - and that they are

24、suitable for composting. And the brand Yorkshire Tea said their bags do contain 25% polypropylene, but they were “actively developing plant-based and biodegradable alternatives”.While tea bag manufacturers might be doing their bit to reduce plastic pollution, it could be a good time to switch your f

28、e tea bagCThanks to great progress in fundamental research, biology is becoming more programmable. Two recent scientific advances show how powerful the possibilities could be. The genetic modification of plants is allowing the mechanism of photosynthesis to be tinkered with（调整）. This could lead to d

29、ramatic improvements in the productivity of plants. Tweaking the genes of people who suffer from fatal incurable diseases, meanwhile, has also had remarkable results. A series of genetic therapies has arrived, or is arriving, to treat some fatal diseases. The task now is to spread hese gains far and

30、 wide. This attractive promise has been made possible by an enormous investment in fundamental research over the years. Basic knowledge of genetics and the functions and structures of proteins has proved to be a motor for discovery across medicine and agriculture. The private sector, to be sure, pla

31、ys an essential role in the cycle of innovation. But these advances are a reminder that investment by governments and charities is crucial in areas that offer little commercial benefit in the short term, but which in the long term promise to greatly advance well-being.Unfortunately, there is no guar

32、antee that these gains will be realized. Gene therapies are a remarkable technical accomplishment. But their current enormous cost makes them hard for health-care systems to afford.In the past, novel medicines that started out extremely costly have become much cheaper. If gene therapy is to live up

33、to its promise, it will need to do even better than this. More efficient photosynthesis, too, will need further investment if it is to be commercialized .The long-term manufacturing costs of a new green revolution will, thankfully, be low; plants make more plants in a way that treatments never can.

34、Gene therapies, however, need innovation to reduce the cost of making them. Here governments, charities and the private sector could usefully work together.Last, regulators also need to be quicker and more understanding of the gains to society from helping these technologies reach their potential. I

35、nnovations can languish without appropriate or timely rule-making. Science has made a genetic revolution possible. Now that revolution must flourish.28. How do people benefit from these two advances?A. Fatal diseases will be cured.B.People can suffer from deadly diseases.C.The mechanism of photosynt

36、hesis can be changed.D.More food will be produced to feed a hungry planet.29. Which of the following doesnt contribute to the revolution?A.Investment by governments.B.Knowledge of genetics and proteins.C. Investment by the private sector.D.Knowledge of medicine and agriculture.30. What should be don

Commercializing photosynthesis to meet the needsD. Working together to develop new drugs.31.What does the underlined word “languish” in the

38、 last paragraph mean?A.Manage to thrive. B.Reach their potential.C. Fail to advance. D.Make proper rules.DFor centuries, two of the most interesting questions about Leonardo da Vincis “Mona Lisa” were “Who?” and “When?” A discovery made at Heidelberg University in 2005 answered both. A note confirme

39、d the account of da Vincis first biographer, Giorgio Vasari: that the sitter was a merchants wife, Lisa Gherardini. The note also helped date the masterpiece to between 1503 and 1506.A third conundrum-“Where?”-is still in dispute. But on June 3rd a French engineer,Pascal Cotte, declared that he and

40、a collaborator had identified the landscape in the background of the painting. During a presentation, Mr Cotte contended that the artist was more plausibly depicting a part of his native Tuscany. Da Vinci represented the area not as it was, but as, in an unrealized scheme,he intended it to be.Mr Cot

41、te, who was asked by the Louvre to create a digital image of the painting, is the inventor of the multispectral camera: a device that can detect not only the drawing below the surface of an oil painting but also intermediate layers of work. It was among these,under what appears to be a pointed rock，

42、 that he found a preparatory sketch（草图）showing that da Vinci intended it to represent a castellated tower.The landscape of the “Mona Lisa” also includes a huge overhanging precipice（悬崖）.That is similar to one that da Vinci included in a sketch of a fortress contested（争夺）by Pisa and Florence in a war

43、.The fortress withthe nearby precipice-and a tower-all overlook the river Amo as it snakes from Florence to Pisa. All three also feature in drawings made by da Vinci to illustrate a plan about which,says Mr Cotte,he became “obsessive.This involved diverting（改道）the Arno to cut off Pisas water supply

44、and give Florence an outlet to the Mediterranean. In the early 1500s, with the two city-states at war, the idea was under active consideration.Mr Cotte argues that a channel at the right of the “Mona Lisa” is too wide to be a road,and is instead the dried-up bed of the Arno as da Vinci imagined it o

45、nce his plan had been adopted.It never was. But if Mr Cottes theory is right, it might just explain why Gherardini,a Florentine, wears such a contented, if inscrutable, smile.32. What was painted in the “Mona Lisa” according to Mr Cotte?A.A part of da Vincis hometown as it was.B.An overhanging preci

46、pice and a fortress.C.A pointed rock and a castellated tower.D.The dried-up bed of a river.33.Who does “he” refer to in paragraph 4?A.Pascal Cotte B.Leonardo da VinciC.Giorgio VasariD.Lisa Gherardini34. Why did Mona Lisa smile based on Cottes theory?A. Because da Vincis idea was taken seriously.B.Be

47、cause da Vincis plan was adopted.C. Because Pisas water supply was cut off.D.Because Florence had a good chance to win the war.35.Whats the best title of the text?A.Where did Mona Lisa smile?B. When was the “Mona Lisapainted?C.Who was the sitter of the “Mona Lisa?D.Why did Mona Lisa put on a smile?第

Some use chemicals to kill weeds. Others pull them up by hand or with heavy machinery. Luckily, there are other w

49、ays to limit their growth.For starters, there are mulches which can bury weeds. Mulches are made from organic material, such as leaves, grass cuttings, and small pieces of wood. They are spread over the ground in a garden to control weeds. Organic mulches break down over time_36_That is not a bad th

50、ing, because their decomposition creates nutrients for plants and humus to keep soils wet and full of fresh air.Plastic mulch is another way to stop weeds. Common black plastic is easy to lay down. It also effectively blocks weeds and helps soil warm faster in the spring.37 A reflective plastic mulc

51、h, for example, keeps some plant-eating insects away. A major problem with plastic is that it breaks apart over time, so eventually it needs to be thrown away. It also adds nothing to the soil as far as nutrients or humus. 38Finally, in addition to direct attacks on weeds, how you plant your garden

52、can indirectly influence weed growth. For example, close spacing of plants in the garden blocks sunlight from reaching the ground and can limit weed growth. And using a watering method known as drip irrigation will direct small amounts of water to the roots of your plants instead of the weeds. 39_Ly

53、ing in soil are millions of weed seeds just waiting to be awakened by light and air.Using any or all of these methods will not permanently stop weed growth.40A. So you must add more to your garden often.B. And plastic also can block air from reaching the soil.C.However, we could finally make it thro

54、ugh our efforts.D. So it adds little to the soil in terms of humus or nutrients.E. Instead, your goal is simply to limit their growth in the garden.F.Whether or not you dig up your soil also influences weed growth.G.

69、r wore，along with the clothing my sons had outgrown（长得穿不下）. I issued a call to action to all of my family and friends， asking them to do the same. It is always my hope to re-purpose（重新利用） those things that do nothing more than take up space in our homes， things other people might make better use of.

70、 Nothing bothers me more than selfishly squirreling things away, things that we know we will never use or wear, while people in our community go without.I found an ugly pair of hand-knitted（手工编织）socks in one of the bags donated by a friend. Not to be mean， but they were a bad mixture of colored yarn

71、（纱线）： orange， purple，yellow and blue. I had to decide-garbage or donation? It wasnt like they were unusable. They were simply unpleasant to look at, surely not something anyone would choose to wear. I imagine they were a homemade gift gone bad.I put the ugly socks in the garbage, but ten minutes lat

He sat down, slipped into the socks, stood up and stomped his feet.“Theyre perfect!” he smiled. I was deeply touched

80、 by his innocent smile. Those socks not only warmed his feet that day, but so was his heart-and mine. They had rekindled the memory of that young mans grandmother, a woman who must have loved him dearly. I had ever been so thoughtless as to think that those socks, as pitiful as they appeared on the
