Naturalist Enzo Suma, who is now 40, lives in Puglia, a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea. Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area. Feeling concerned about that, Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore, especially after big winter storms.
One day, Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle of Coke. Suma noticed on the bottle that the price, clearly printed on the bottom, was in lire, a currency(货币) that hadn’t been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002. Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean, he wondered, for about two decades
That led him to founding the Archeoplastica museum. It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. “Seeing that a product people may have used 30, 40, or 50 years ago remains still unchanged, you’ll feel different. It’s a great shock,” Suma said to a reporter. So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni.
“The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things,” Suma acknowledged. “Plastic is a kind of useful substance. But it’s unthinkable that a water bottle, made from a material designed to last so long, can be used for just a few days—or even minutes—before becoming garbage. Clean the beaches. Clean the oceans. Recycle. But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions.”
24. What’s Suma’s concern about his living place
A. Its long coastline is disappearing.
B. Big storms frequently hit the area.
C. Floating waste spreads over a vast area.
D. The waste pollution on shore is worsening.
25. What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum
A. They have a history of more than half a century.
B. They were quite valuable before turning into waste.
C. They’re more like educational exhibits than garbage.
D. They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products.
26. Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma
A. Creative, devoted and socially responsible.
B. Enthusiastic, ambitious and adventurous.
C. Generous, cautious and humorous.
D. Curious, efficient and playful.
27. What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph
A. The birth of plastics has greatly served humans.
B. The key to tackling the plastic pollution is to stop littering.
C. The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and recycling.
D. People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics.
C
In February 1970, a ragbag of hippies and activists gathered in Vancouver, Canada to discuss a planned nuclear test on the Alaskan island of Amchitka. They eventually agreed to sail to the test site and protest against the explosion in person. At the end of the meeting, the chairman raised two fingers to the room and shouted “Peace!”. After a brief pause, one young attendee responded with a now immortal line: “Let’s make that a green peace”.
Over the last 50 years, the environmental movement has become so closely associated with the colour green that it’s almost impossible to see a green poster, label or recycling bag without thinking about our planet’s future. But though that connection is the product of a very recent crisis, its origins go back some way. We have identified green with nature and its processes for thousands of years. Indeed, the very word “green” comes from the ancient Proto-Indo-European word ghre, meaning “grow”.
The human species, which emerged in the verdant forests and savannas of Africa about 300,000 years ago, has a special biological bond with green. Our eyes might even have evolved specifically to see the chlorophyll(叶绿素)in plants.
With the advent of agriculture, we started to use green as a symbol for nature and its processes. The ancient Egyptians, who were farming the banks of the Nile from about 8000BCE, likewise identified their crops with green. Their term for the colour was wadj, which also meant “flourish”.
All over the world, people communed with nature through green materials. Jade, for instance, was used to make objects that would guarantee a successful harvest. The Maya buried their leaders with jade death masks for precisely this reason.
Western societies took longer to embrace the beauty of nature, and by extension, green. But by the second half of the Middle Ages, European writers were infusing the colour with their new-found faith in the landscape, connecting it to fertility, growth, spring, hope and joy. By the end of the 17th Century, English poets were beginning to realise, as we do today, that green spaces can be profoundly therapeutic (有疗效的).
While the future of our planet remains uncertain, many scientists are convinced that leaves, and the miraculous green pigment(色素) that lurks within them, will prove to be a decisive weapon in our battle against climate change. This is as it should be. After all, for early farmers waiting for shoots to emerge from the soil, and for modern-day activists determined to bring about a sustainable future, green was, and is, a colour of hope — the hope that, after a long, cold winter or a drought-ridden summer, the arrival of chlorophyll will promise a new beginning.
28. What happened after hippies and activists ended the gathering in Vancouver in 1970
A. They launched a peace campaign.
B. They discussed a planned nuclear test.
C. They spread an immortal peace slogan.
D. They prevented all the government’s nuclear tests.
29. What is a similarity between the ancient Egyptians and the Maya regarding green
A. Both cultures built a complex web of religious beliefs.
B. They both associated the color green with their leaders.
C. Both used the color green as a symbol of military power.
D. They both had specific symbols for green related to harvest.
30. What can be inferred according to the text
A. The Proto-Indo-Europeans were the first to start environmental protection.
B. Ancient humans had a more advanced visual system than modern humans.
C. Western societies went through a slow and progressive recognition of nature.
D. Language evolution reflects the links between green and the environmental movement.
31. How do you understand the underlined phrase “a decisive weapon” in the last paragraph
A. Green is a color that makes people feel good but has no practical value.
B. Green is a symbol used by environmental activists to promote their ideas.
C. The pigment can directly absorb all greenhouse gases and solve the climate problem.
D. The pigment in leaves and the symbolic associations of the colour green with hope count.
D
There is a fine line between a fake (赝品) and an exact copy of masterpieces. To an extent, it rests in the copyist’s intention. Are they trying to fool you and knowingly miss-sell their copy as an original, or are they openly presenting it as a replica(复制品). Adam Lowe—a trained artist in the copying business — has kept strictly to the well-intentioned camp.
For a quarter of a century Lowe has spent his considerable energy producing high-quality reproduction s of paintings and sculptures for museums and galleries around the world. He describes his digital scanning technique as being more close to drawing than to photography, as four cameras are suspended above a painting’s surface taking pictures from every perceived angle to create a single composite image. From this data a precise mould (模具) of the picture surface is made, with which the high-resolution digital photograph is then printed.
The Prado Museum in Madrid appointed Lowe’s company, Factum Arte, to scan its collection of Black Paintings by Francisco de Goya. Lowe produced a high-resolution close-up crop of the Spanish artist’s famous The Dog, a framed copy of which you can buy in the museum’s shop for about 990 euros. He has taken the idea of copying even further through his Spanish Gallery where “nothing is real”— from the decorated ceiling to the paintings hanging on the walls. He declares it his “greatest achievement”.
Lowe sees his creations as the 21st-century version of" cultural preservation" and thinks it ought to be funded by governments and universities. He has spoken to the mayor of Madrid about setting up a global arts center for cutting-edge digital technologies, but that ambition remains in the hands of the politicians.
I went to visit Lowe at his art-making HQ, located on the edge of Madrid. Top-of-the-range digital printers, complex cameras and virtual reality headsets dotted the 3D-printed Greek sculptures. An army of computer scientists were busy with their works.
As he sat down with a cool glass of early evening wine he seemed worn down by decades of skepticism. “People call us Factum, the factory of fakes,” he complained. “What we are doing is scientific recording to give accurate information about the artwork’s surface that allows you to understand it better and more deeply.”
32. What is the primary purpose of Adam Lowe’s work
A. To create exact fakes of famous artworks.
B. To replace original artworks with replicas.
C. To sell copies of masterpieces to private collectors.
D. To produce high-quality reproductions for museums.
33. What’s special about Lowe’s technique
A. It uses a single camera to capture the entire image.
B. It involves drawing each part of the painting by hand.
C. It relies on computer-generated imageries to create the artwork.
D. It uses multiple(多个的) cameras to take pictures from different angles.
34. How do people think of Lowe’s work
A. They think his work is overpriced.
B. They consider his replicas to be fakes.
C. They believe his technique is outdated.
D. They doubt the accuracy of his reproductions.
35. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Innovative Technique of Adam Lowe
B. The Debate over Fake Artworks in Museums
C. The Challenges of Running a Copying Business
D. Preserving Art Through High-Quality Reproductions

A businessman was driving his horse home with a heavy load of salt. As they reached a shallow ford in the river, a crossing they had made many times without any trouble, the horse unexpectedly slipped and fell into the water. By the time the businessman managed to get the horse out, most of the salt had melted and washed away. The horse, to his surprise, found that his burden had become much lighter.
The next day, the businessman bought another load of salt. As they made their way home, the horse remembered what had happened at the ford the day before. Thinking he was being clever, he deliberately allowed himself to fall into the water again. As expected, most of the salt was washed away, lightening his load.
At first, the businessman did not realize the horse’s trick. But when it happened again the following day, he understood what the horse was doing. The angry man turned around and drove the horse back, knowing exactly what had been going on.
