24、ed on board the passenger vessel(车厢) like it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. The train headed west in search of our first destinationthe scenic town of Banff, Alberta. After just an hour on the train, desperation already came on me. The thought of three full days on those tracks broke my

25、spirits. As I gazed out towards Lake Superiors glistening(闪闪发亮) waves, I decided if I was to be stuck in here, I would need to enjoy my time.Those three days turned into a summer camp on rails. Real friendships with the crew were born within that train. Stops were made in small, remote railroad vill

30、 be content with train service.CScientists at Israels Tel Aviv University say they have created the worlds first 3D-printed heart with human tissue and blood vessels. Although the organ is only as big as a rabbits heart, the researchers are hoping the technology could one day be developed enough to

31、help human patients in need of a heart transplant.Lead researcher Tal Dvir said that while other scientists have managed to 3D-print the structure of a heart in the past, this is the first time anyone has printed an entire heart. “Our results demonstrate the potential of our approach for engineering

32、 personalized tissue and organ replacement in the future,” Dvir said in a press statement.Scientists used fatty tissue taken from human patients to create the heart. Some material in thetissue was reprogrammed to become stem cells. The remaining material was processed into a hydrogel. They used the

33、hydrogel as a printing: “ink”. This method plays a key role in removing the risk that the implant will be rejected by the patients body. The teams next step is to cultivate the organs in a lab and to teach them how to “behave” like hearts. Dvirs 3D-printed hearts can currently contract, but the cell

34、s still need to develop a pumping ability. His team eventually plans to test the hearts in animals.“Maybe, in ten years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world, andthese procedures will be conducted routinely,” Dvir said.

39、ar, have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global Souths landfill sites(垃圾填埋场).Electronic waste (e-waste) currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places l

40、ike Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghanas capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, where 10,000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process. They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned s

41、martphones.But Agbogbloshie legally should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty, aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The e-waste industry, however, circumvents regulation by exporting e-waste labelled as “secondhand goods” to

42、poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for a landfill site.A recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals.

43、nge chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a level thats about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Most worryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and wat

44、er system. This should concern us all, since some of Ghanas top exports are cocoa and nuts.Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers waste. For example, Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clin

45、ic for workers. However, governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consumer demand for hardware, especially when governments green policies are focused on issues like climate change.Only the manufacturers can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politically

46、 possiblesolution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral.47. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Electronic waste requires more landfill sites.B. Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.C.

47、 Electronic products need to be improved immediately.D. Electronic pollution is a burning question in Agbogbloshie.48. What does the underlined word “circumvents” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Relaxes.B. Abolishes.C. Avoids.D. Tightens.49. What should be the biggest concern according to the text?A. The vio

48、lation of EFSAs standards.B. The threat of polluted food worldwide.C. The lack of diversity in Ghanas exports.D. The damage to chickens immune system.50. What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem?A. Letting governments take on the main responsibility.B. Reducing customer

49、s demands for electronic products.C. Governments adjusting their green policies about e-waste.D. Manufacturers developing a sustainable hardware economy.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How you talk to yourself about events, experiences and people plays a large role
