A lot of manufactured glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate (碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn't break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative.
In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸). That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.
In a test, glass beads(珠子) made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice, and the breakdown of the beads and the skin healing process were observed for 30 days. A diagram from the study showed how the mice's bodies broke down the beads. In that month, the glass implant degraded beneath the skin, the wound site healed, and fur grew back. “Throughout the experimental period, no mice exhibited any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in the heat. In order to overcome this hurdle, the researchers chemically modified the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass manufacturing. This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher.
“It's important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage, and far from large-scale commercialization,” emphasized Yan Xuehai, a professor involved in the study, in a press release.
1.What is an advantage of the new glass
A.It can be recycled at a low cost.　　　
B.It is produced without pollution.
C.It takes less time to break down.　　　
D.It has a wide range of applications.
2.Why did researchers implant glass beads inside mice
A.To assess whether the glass is biologically harmless.
B.To investigate why amino acids are medically useful.
C.To explore how long it takes for the glass to degrade.
D.To observe if the glass can be melted down in mice's stomach.
3.What does the underlined word “hurdle” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.The instability of amino acids.
B.The difficulty of selecting materials for the glass.
C.Environmental problems caused by traditional glass.
D.The challenge of improving the heating-cooling procedure.
4.What is the attitude of Yan Xuehai towards the new glass's launch on the market
A.Optimistic.　　　B.Critical.
C.Indifferent.　　　D.Uncertain.

China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years. 　1　 Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.
In recent decades, a series of wildlife-protection campaigns have been carried out by the central government. 　2　 The giant panda and the crested ibis are among these successful stories.
The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s. It now totals 1,864 thanks to 67 protection areas. 　3　 By the end of last year, seven of the nine pandas released had survived in the wild. 　4　 In 1981, only seven crested ibises were found in Yang County, Shaanxi Province. Since then, breeding programs have helped the population reach 2,000. China has even sent crested ibises to Japan and South Korea in recent years, to help with the species' survival.
　5　 Key projects will be continually carried out to improve protection, including making the lists of wild animals and plants under state protection,and fighting against illegal wildlife trade, which includes ivory(象牙).
A.Another species was once thought to be extinct.
B.Protecting wildlife is, without doubt, an important part.
C.China will continue its efforts at the wildlife protection.

基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.posters 　2.regions　3.overcame　4.rates 5.former　6.ordinary
Ⅱ.1.refer to;as　2.working on　3.work through 4.prevent;from
Ⅲ.1.survival　考查名词。句意:由于荒岛上没有工具,他们生存的可能性微乎其微。survival生存,存活。
2.with　考查固定搭配。句意:由于不满足于现在的生活,他决定到一个更大的城市去碰碰运气。be content with对……满意。
3.to stop　考查不定式。句意: 这位工程师决心阻止全球范围内的滥伐森林。determine to do sth.决心做某事。
4.occurred　考查动词的时态。句意:他从未想到他的小说会变得如此受欢迎,给他带来如此多的名利。根据从句的would并结合语境可知,主句应使用一般过去时。It occurred to sb. that...某人突然想到……。
5.organised　考查过去分词。句意:演讲俱乐部组织良好,因此所有会员都能有机会在每次的俱乐部会议上发言。The Speech Club与organise之间为被动关系,故用其过去分词形式。
6.hold　考查虚拟语气。句意:我们举办运动会的建议被否决了。proposal后面的同位语从句通常用虚拟语气,即谓语用“should+动词原形”形式,should可以省略,故填hold。
7.is　考查主谓一致。句意:这幢楼里还有一个图书馆、一个自助餐厅和一个体育馆。在there be句型中,be动词的数应遵循就近原则,与邻近的主语即a library保持一致,故填is。

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国科学院过程工程研究所的专家团队用氨基酸研制出一种可生物降解的玻璃。
1.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.”可知,这种新型玻璃的优点是它降解需要的时间比普通玻璃少。故选C项。
2.A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Throughout the experimental period, no mice exhibited any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss”可知,在整个实验期间,老鼠没有出现不正常的情况,因此研究人员在老鼠体内植入玻璃珠是为了评估玻璃在生物学上是否无害。故选A项。
3.A　词义猜测题。第四段前两句提到,尽管氨基酸在环境中会随着时间的推移而降解,但这种可生物降解的玻璃不如传统玻璃耐用,因为氨基酸在高温下会迅速分解。为了克服这一hurdle,研究人员使用玻璃制造中应用的加热—冷却程序对氨基酸进行了化学改性。由此可推知,“hurdle”指的是氨基酸的不稳定性,是研究人员要克服的障碍。故选A项。
4.D　推理判断题。由最后一段中Yan Xuehai说的话“It's important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage, and far from large-scale commercialization”可知,这种可生物降解的玻璃目前仍在实验室阶段,还远远不能大规模商业化生产,所以Yan Xuehai的态度是不确定的。故选D项。
【高频词汇】　1.deal with 处理,解决　2.concern n.重要的事情;担心　3.impact n.影响　4.observe v.观察 5.obvious adj.明显的　6.apply v.应用
【熟词生义】　press release n.新闻稿
【差距词汇】　1.melt down将……熔化 2.biodegradable adj.可生物降解的　3.degrade v.(使)降解,分解　4.commercialization n.商业化
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在过去的70年里,中国在环境保护方面取得了很大的进步,其中保护野生动物无疑是重要的一部分。
1.B　根据上句“China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years.”可知,在过去的70年里,中国在环境保护方面取得了很大的进步。根据下句“Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.”可知,地球上的每一个物种都在生态系统中起着作用。所以保护野生动物无疑是重要的一部分。故选B。
2.G　根据上句“In recent decades, a series of wildlife-protection campaigns have been carried out by the central government.”可知,近几十年来,中央政府开展了一系列的野生动物保护运动。所以一些濒临灭绝的物种的保护由于这些措施而取得了令人瞩目的进展。故选G。 下文“The giant panda and the crested ibis are among these successful stories.”也是提示。
3.E　根据下句“By the end of last year, seven of the nine pandas released had survived in the wild.”可知,到去年年底,放归的9只大熊猫中有7只在野外存活。所以科学家们一直致力于喂养大熊猫,然后将它们放归野外。故选E。
4.A　根据下文可知,1981年,在陕西省的洋县只发现了七只朱鹮。而近年来,中国甚至将朱鹮送往日本和韩国,以帮助该物种的生存。所以A项“另一个物种曾经被认为要灭绝了”符合语境。
5.C　根据下文可知,继续实施重点工程以加强保护,包括制定受国家保护的野生动植物名录,打击包括象牙在内的非法野生动物贸易。所以中国将继续努力保护野生动物。故选C。
【高频词汇】　1.improvement n.改进处;进步
2.protection n.保护　3.carry out执行;实施　4.thanks to幸亏　5.release v.释放;放走　6.survive v.存活
长难句
原句　Key projects will be continually carried out to improve protection,including making the lists of wild animals and plants under state protection,and fighting against illegal wildlife trade, which includes ivory.
分析　本句是主从复合句。“including making the lists...includes ivory”是介词短语作状语,“which includes ivory”是which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词illegal wildlife trade。
译文　继续实施重点工程以加强保护,包括制定受国家保护的野生动植物名录,打击包括象牙在内的非法野生动物贸易。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因为一份宠物看护工作去了夏威夷岛,但是这个美丽的岛屿却被塑料污染,作者把垃圾拍照分享到博客上,希望唤起人们的环保意识,之后作者一直致力于环境保护工作的故事。
1.B　根据下文“‘pet sitting’, a service...”和“I quickly began 　2　 opportunities on a pet sitting website.”可知,作者从朋友那里知道了“宠物看护”这种服务,于是开始在宠物看护网站上寻找(searching for)机会,因此是朋友无意中提到(mentioned)“宠物看护”,故本题选B项,第2题选D项。offer提供;doubt怀疑;design设计。

6.B　空前提到作者决定开设一个旅游博客分享美丽的沙滩,空后提到每一组美丽沙滩的照片中就有10张垃圾的照片,前后文之间是转折关系,应用However,故选B项。therefore因此;otherwise否则;instead反而。
7.C　上文提到沙滩上垃圾很多,因此作者不容易(easy)忽视这一问题(issue),故本题选C项,第8题选D项。dangerous危险的;possible可能的;normal正常的。
8.D　解析见上一题。proposal建议,提议;type类型;process过程。
9.A　根据本句语境并结合选项可知,作者应该是分享看到(saw)的垃圾的照片以及遛狗时捡起(pick up)的垃圾的照片,故本题选A项,第10题选C项。throw抛,扔;produce生产;bury埋葬。
10.C　解析见上一题。pay for支付;take off起飞;cut down削减。
11.D　上文提到作者在博客上分享垃圾的照片,其目的是提高人们的环保意识(awareness),并强调无塑料旅行,故选D项。question问题;standard标准;money钱。
