Lawns（草坪）—They’re part f American life. Over a century, frm arund the 1870s t the1970s, Americans slwly fell in lve with lawns. Lawns were a sign f taste, calm, pwer and rder, especially after Wrld War II. Over the past 50 years, we’ve slwly fallen ut f lve with lawns. They began t signal waste, disregard and disagreement.
“Wasn’t there smething a bit wasteful abut millins f Americans applying millins f punds f fertilizer and puring millins f gallns f water n the grund t grw smething yu culdn’t eat unless yu were a Jersey cw?” wrte Ellen Gdman in the Bstn Glbe way back in 1977.
Hwever, we are still, largely, lawn peple. The biggest irrigated （灌溉的）crp, by area, in the United States? Nt crn r sybeans r ptates, but lawns. Unprductive, decrative lawn: arund 40 millin acres f it, r 2% f the land area f the whle cuntry, accrding t estimates cited by Garik Gutman, prgram manager fr NASA’s Land-Cver/Land-Use Change Prgram.
Frty millin acres: The entire state f Gergia culdn’t cntain America’s ttal lawn area. And we pur 9 billin gallns f water n landscaping every day, accrding t the Envirnmental Prtectin Organizatin. Meanwhile, the suthwestern United States is suffering a serius drught; the past tw decades have been its driest perid since the year 800．In a wrld thirsty fr water, lawns actually take up t much water.
Nw we have TikTk hashtags（话题标签）such as anti-lawn, which might direct yu t a perfrmance f an anti-lawn sng by a 27-year-ld Nashville musician named Mel Bryant. “At the time, all f my neighbrs were crazy abut their lawns,” says Bryant, wh wrte the sng n Earth Day 2020．“Everyne was cutting grass, every day. At any pint in time yu’d hear lawn grass cutting machines ging. And it drve me crazy. I still have this ne neighbr wh, I prmise, n the Furth f July was cutting grass at 7: 30 pm.

Scientists have slved a puzzle abut mdern humans, after research shwed that a famus skull f a human ancestr fund in Suth Africa is a millin years lder than experts thught. This discvery has changed what we knw f human histry.
The skull, which scientists have named “Mrs Ples”, is frm an ape-like human relative frm a species called Australpithecus africanus（南方古猿）. It was fund near Jhannesburg in 1947 and, based n evidence frm its surrundings, was thught t be between 2.1 and 2.6 millin years ld. This puzzled scientists, because althugh Mrs Ples lks like a pssible early ancestr f early humans, the first true humans had already evlved by the time she apparently lived. Fr this reasn, scientists had decided that Australpithecus afarensis, a similar species frm East Africa that lived abut 3.5 millin years ag, was ur mst likely ancestr instead.
T get a mre accurate age fr Mrs Ples, a team led by Prfessr Darryl Granger f Purdue University in Indiana, US, used a new methd t date the sandy rcks where the skull lay. They measured the amunt f certain chemicals in rcks, which frm at a steady rate when they are expsed t csmic rays（宇宙射线）n Earth’s surface. Once rcks are buried, these chemicals stp frming and slwly disappear; the surviving amunt reveals hw much time has passed since the rck （r bnes） were n the surface.
The new study shws that Mrs Ples and ther australpithecine bnes nearby are between 3.4 and 3.7 millin years ld. This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives, s that either grup culd have given rise t mdern humans. Hwever, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pinted ut that ver millins f years, at nly 2,500 miles away, these grups had plenty f time t travel and t breed with each ther. In ther wrds, the grups culd quite easily have met, had children tgether and bth been part f the histry f mdern humans.
28．What can we learn abut Mrs Ples frm the first tw paragraphs?
A．It is a skull fund in East Africa.
B．It is the mst pssible ancestr f humans.
C．It is a millin years lder than scientists expected.
D．It is prved t live between 2.1 and 2.6 millin years ag.
29．Hw did scientists get the accurate age f “Mrs Ples”?
A．By studying the effect f csmic rays.
B．By calculating the frming rate f chemicals.
C．By lcating the sandy rcks where the skull lay.
D．By measuring the surviving amunt f chemicals.
30．What can we infer frm the new study?
A．Ape-like species frm Africa culd have interacted with each ther.
B．Mdern humans came int being in East Africa.
C．Mrs Ples travelled and had children with East African relatives.
D．The histry f mdern humans might begin 3.5 millin years ag.
31．Which f the fllwing can be the best title f the passage?
A．Histrical Puzzle UnslvedB．Ancest r Mystery Slved
C．Mrs Ples: The Earliest Human BeingD．Mrs Ples: A Famus Skull

There have been numerus attempts t create an all-plastic bike. But mst have never passed thrugh the prttype stage（原始阶段）. Igus, a Germany-based manufacturer f high-perfrmance plastics, and Dutch start-up MTRL aim t change that with the igus: bike — the wrld’s first urban bike crafted almst entirely frm recycled plastic.
Igus CEO Frank Blasé first gt the idea while vacatining n a Flrida beach in 2009．A cnversatin with sme emplyees frm a rental cmpany made him aware f the challenges f maintaining beach bicycles. The cntinuus expsure t sand, wind and salt water caused the bikes t rust rapidly.
Many had t be replaced in nly three mnths.
The igus: bike, unveiled at a German trade shw, is maintainable and rust-free. It can be left utdrs in all weathers and des nt require lubricant il t reduce frictin between parts. Since it des nt attract sand, dust r dirt, the bike can be cleaned with a garden hse（水管）in secnds.
“As all cmpnents are made f plastic, n part f the bike rusts, even the gears —bicycle gears made f plastic were unthinkable fr a lng time,” Blasé says.
The igus: bike will als help cmbat the wrld’s plastic pllutin. The cmpany says a single adult bike gives new life t abut 16 kilgrams f single-use plastic that wuld therwise chke ur landfills r waterways.
Currently,90 percent f the igus: bike is made using recycled plastic. This includes the bicycle’s frame, bearings, pedals and wheel rims. Igus and MTRL believe future versins will be made entirely frm recycled plastic.
“Frm cean plastics t mtin plastics — the igus: bike cncept has what it takes t becme ahigh-tech eclgical prduct,” says MTRL c-funder Benjamin Alderse Baas.
The plastic bikes are expected t cme nt the market in early 2023. An adult mdel, made entirely frm recycled plastic, will cst abut E1400. A slightly cheaper versin made using new plastic and an electric bike are als in the wrks. Igus als plans n sharing its technlgy with ther bicycle manufacturers.
32．What makes Igus CEO Frank Blase seek t create the igus: bike?
A．His hlidaying in Flrida last year.
B．The truble f keeping beach bicycles in gd cnditin.
C．The cnversatin between him and sme bicyclers.
D．The prlnged expsure f bikes n the beach.
33．What des the underlined wrd “unveiled” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Revealed.B．Cncealed.C．Oppsed.D．Prhibited.
34．What can we learn abut the igus: bike frm the text?
A．It will certainly sell well.B．It needs t be mre prtable.
C．It can be used everywhere and freely.D．It is rust less and cleans easily.
35．What can be inferred abut the future plastic bikes?
A．They will be cheaper and lighter.
B．They will be mre high-tech eclgical.
C．They will be crafted frm nly recycled plastics.
D．They will be used widely all ver the wrld.

But I’ll give yu three grades. First, I’ll grade the written reprt as a whle, and every member f that grup will receive the same grade n the written reprt, s yu can divide the wrk and prduce the best reprt tgether.

The final grade is a persnal grade based n yur cntributin t the grup. And I’ll give yu a grade based n yur cntributin. T be as fair as pssible, I’ll ask fr the signature f every grup member n yur list, checking that yur list is apprpriate fr the wrk yu have dne. S I’ll have the three grades and add them tgether and average them t give yu a ttal grade.
