Jsefa Marin went t New Yrk frm Mexic in 1987, supprting her daughter back hme with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factry. With that small incme, she had t cllect recyclables, trading in cans fr five cents each.
When the clthing factry clsed dwn in the late 2000s, she became a full-time recycler, picking up cans and bttles t make ends meet.
Marin’s stry is nt unique. Millins arund the wrld make a living frm picking thrugh waste and reselling it- a vital rle that keeps waste manageable. In New Yrk City, the administrative department cllects nly abut 28 percent f the cans that culd be recycled. Rubbish cllectrs keep millins f additinal recyclables ut f landfills every year.
Yet cllectrs are ruled ut by gvernment plicies. The United States Supreme Curt in1988 stated that husehld garbage is public prperty nce it’s n the street. That enables plice t search rubbish fr evidence, but that prtectin hasn’t always been extended t recyclers. And in places like New Yrk City, which is testing city-wned lcked cntainers t hide garbage frm rats, cntainers are made clearly inaccessible fr cllectrs.
“There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value shuld belng t the peple, nt the city r the crpratins, says Ryan Castalia, directr f a nnprfit recycling and cmmunity center in Brklyn.
Recgnized r nt, waste pickers have lng been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an ccasin when smene living next t a building where she was cllecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle desn’t mean I am less f a persn than anyne else,” she says.
Sme gvernments are starting t realize that prtecting the envirnment and humanity g hand in hand. The United Natin’s 2030 Agenda fr Sustainable Develpment, fr example, calls fr an end t pverty and all the risks it brings.
4. What is the authr’s purpse f telling abut Marin?
A. T highlight waste cllectrs’ rle.
B. T reflect laid-ff wrkers’ hardship.
C. T praise her devtin t her daughter.
D. T shw the seriusness f unemplyment.
5. Hw des the authr shw the imprtance f waste pickers’ wrk?
A. By cntrasting.B. By citing reference.
C. By giving definitins.D. By cause-effect analysis.
6. What wuld Marin agree with?
A. Business is business.B. N jb is nble r humble.
C. The early birds catches wrms.D. One gd tum deserves anther.

Cmmn water plant culd prvide a green energy surce. Scientists have figured ut hw t get large amunts f il frm duckweed, ne f nature’s fastest-grwing water plants. Transferring such plant il int bidiesel (生物柴油) fr transprtatin and heating culd be a big part f a mre sustainable future.
Fr a new study, researchers genetically engineered duckweed plants t prduce seven times mre il per acre than sybeans. Jhn Shanklin, a bichemist says further research culd duble the engineered duckweed’s il utput in the next few years.
Unlike fssil fuels, which frm undergrund, bifuels can be refreshed faster than they are used. Fuels made frm new and used vegetable ils, animal fat and seaweed can have a lwer carbn ftprint than fssil fuels d, but there has been a recent negative view against them. This is partly because s many crps nw g int energy prductin rather than fd; bifuels take up mre than 100 millin acres f the wrld’s agricultural land.
Duckweed, cmmn n every cntinent but Antarctica, is amng the wrld’s mst prductive plants, and the researchers suggest it culd be a game-changing renewable energy surce fr three key reasns. First, it grws readily in water, s it wuldn’t cmpete with fd crps fr agricultural land. Secnd, duckweed can grw fast in agricultural pllutin released int the water. Third, Shanklin and his team fund a way t avid a majr bitechnlgical barrier: Fr the new study, Shanklin says, the researchers added an il-prducing gene, “turning it n like a light switch”by intrducing a particular mlecule (分子) nly when the plant had finished grwing. Shanklin says, “If it replicates (复制) in ther species-and there’s n reasn t think that it wuld nt — this can slve ne f ur biggest issues, which is hw we can make mre il in mre plants withut negatively affecting grwth.”
T expand prductin t industrial levels, scientists will need t design and prduce large-scale bases fr grwing engineered plants and btaining il — a challenge, Shanklin says, because duckweed is a nn-mainstream crp withut much existing infrastructure (基础设施).
8. What can peple get frm duckweed firsthand?
A. Plant il.B. Stable bidiesel.
C. Sustainable water.D. Natural heat.
9. What des paragraph 4 mainly cnvey?
A. Optins fr renewable energy.
B. Reasns fr engineering genes.
C. The ptential f revlutinary energy surce.
D. The apprach t aviding agricultural pllutin.
10. What is the decisive factr t mass-prduce the plant?
A. Industrial levels.B. Unique design.
C. Academic research.D. Basic facilities.
11. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Duckweed PwerB. Duckweed Prductin
C. Genetic EngineeringD. Genetic Testing

If yu live n this planet, there’s a decent chance yu’ve seen the classic Star TrekEpisde, in which captain Kirk and several members find themselves in what appears t be anther universe.
These days, it seems the idea f the multiverse—many wrlds—is having its Hllywd mment. Its appeal as a strytelling device is bvius—characters explre a multi-wrld with varying degrees f similarity t ur wn, as well as different versins f themselves. Hence, it has been fully established in mainstream pp culture.
While Hllywd can’t seem t get enugh f the multiverse, it remains deeply cntrversial (有争议的) amng scientists. Advcates n the tw sides shw n mercy tward each ther in their bks, n their blgs. But physicists didn’t pull the idea ut f thin air—rather, several distinct lines f reasning seem t pint t the multiverse’s existence. Hwever, critics warn that making the multiverse legal culd make it harder fr the public t distinguish speculative (推测性的) theries frm established fact, making it mre difficult t keep pseud-science (伪科学) at bay. Giving credit t such speculatin risks “turning fundamental physics int pseud-science”.
The multiverse cntrversy is rted in the idea f test ability. If we can’t interact with these ther universes, r detect them in any way, sme experts insist that reduces them t mere philsphical speculatin. But Carrll, an advcate fr “many wrlds”, argues that mathematics is the language describing ur physical theries. Since Schrdinger’s equatin (方程), n which Quanturr (量子) mechanic rests, predicts the existence f many wrlds, s be it.
Culd a mre expansive view f the universe itself be the next breakthrugh? As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thught, ‘We’ve gt it; this is what the whle universe is’—the peple wh’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s mre than ne f thse’ have always turned ut t be right.”
12. Why is Hllywd s ccupied with the multiverse?
A. It makes fr engaging plts.
B. It is a much-talked-abut tpic.
C. It is helpful t ppularize science.
D. It dminates the mainstream pp culture.
13. What d the underlined wrds in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Out f date.B. Out f place.C. Out f nwhere.D. Out f questin.
14. Accrding t the ppnents, the basic standard f fundamental physics is that ______.
A. it can be detected smehw
B. it can be reasned lgically
C. it can be interpreted philsphically
D. it can be predicted by mathematics equatin
15. What might be the authr’s attitude tward the multiverse?
A. Dubtful.B. Dismissive.C. Unclear.D. Apprving.

Jsefa Marin went t New Yrk frm Mexic in 1987, supprting her daughter back hme with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factry. With that small incme, she had t cllect recyclables, trading in cans fr five cents each.
When the clthing factry clsed dwn in the late 2000s, she became a full-time recycler, picking up cans and bttles t make ends meet.
Marin’s stry is nt unique. Millins arund the wrld make a living frm picking thrugh waste and reselling it- a vital rle that keeps waste manageable. In New Yrk City, the administrative department cllects nly abut 28 percent f the cans that culd be recycled. Rubbish cllectrs keep millins f additinal recyclables ut f landfills every year.
Yet cllectrs are ruled ut by gvernment plicies. The United States Supreme Curt in1988 stated that husehld garbage is public prperty nce it’s n the street. That enables plice t search rubbish fr evidence, but that prtectin hasn’t always been extended t recyclers. And in places like New Yrk City, which is testing city-wned lcked cntainers t hide garbage frm rats, cntainers are made clearly inaccessible fr cllectrs.
“There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value shuld belng t the peple, nt the city r the crpratins, says Ryan Castalia, directr f a nnprfit recycling and cmmunity center in Brklyn.
Recgnized r nt, waste pickers have lng been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an ccasin when smene living next t a building where she was cllecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle desn’t mean I am less f a persn than anyne else,” she says.
Sme gvernments are starting t realize that prtecting the envirnment and humanity g hand in hand. The United Natin’s 2030 Agenda fr Sustainable Develpment, fr example, calls fr an end t pverty and all the risks it brings.
4. What is the authr’s purpse f telling abut Marin?
A. T highlight waste cllectrs’ rle.
B. T reflect laid-ff wrkers’ hardship.
C. T praise her devtin t her daughter.
D. T shw the seriusness f unemplyment.

Cmmn water plant culd prvide a green energy surce. Scientists have figured ut hw t get large amunts f il frm duckweed, ne f nature’s fastest-grwing water plants. Transferring such plant il int bidiesel (生物柴油) fr transprtatin and heating culd be a big part f a mre sustainable future.
Fr a new study, researchers genetically engineered duckweed plants t prduce seven times mre il per acre than sybeans. Jhn Shanklin, a bichemist says further research culd duble the engineered duckweed’s il utput in the next few years.
Unlike fssil fuels, which frm undergrund, bifuels can be refreshed faster than they are used. Fuels made frm new and used vegetable ils, animal fat and seaweed can have a lwer carbn ftprint than fssil fuels d, but there has been a recent negative view against them. This is partly because s many crps nw g int energy prductin rather than fd; bifuels take up mre than 100 millin acres f the wrld’s agricultural land.
Duckweed, cmmn n every cntinent but Antarctica, is amng the wrld’s mst prductive plants, and the researchers suggest it culd be a game-changing renewable energy surce fr three key reasns. First, it grws readily in water, s it wuldn’t cmpete with fd crps fr agricultural land. Secnd, duckweed can grw fast in agricultural pllutin released int the water. Third, Shanklin and his team fund a way t avid a majr bitechnlgical barrier: Fr the new study, Shanklin says, the researchers added an il-prducing gene, “turning it n like a light switch”by intrducing a particular mlecule (分子) nly when the plant had finished grwing. Shanklin says, “If it replicates (复制) in ther species-and there’s n reasn t think that it wuld nt — this can slve ne f ur biggest issues, which is hw we can make mre il in mre plants withut negatively affecting grwth.”
T expand prductin t industrial levels, scientists will need t design and prduce large-scale bases fr grwing engineered plants and btaining il — a challenge, Shanklin says, because duckweed is a nn-mainstream crp withut much existing infrastructure (基础设施).
8. What can peple get frm duckweed firsthand?
A. Plant il.B. Stable bidiesel.
C. Sustainable water.D. Natural heat.
9. What des paragraph 4 mainly cnvey?
A. Optins fr renewable energy.
B. Reasns fr engineering genes.

D. The apprach t aviding agricultural pllutin.
10. What is the decisive factr t mass-prduce the plant?
A. Industrial levels.B. Unique design.
C. Academic research.D. Basic facilities.
11. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Duckweed PwerB. Duckweed Prductin

If yu live n this planet, there’s a decent chance yu’ve seen the classic Star TrekEpisde, in which captain Kirk and several members find themselves in what appears t be anther universe.
These days, it seems the idea f the multiverse—many wrlds—is having its Hllywd mment. Its appeal as a strytelling device is bvius—characters explre a multi-wrld with varying degrees f similarity t ur wn, as well as different versins f themselves. Hence, it has been fully established in mainstream pp culture.
While Hllywd can’t seem t get enugh f the multiverse, it remains deeply cntrversial (有争议的) amng scientists. Advcates n the tw sides shw n mercy tward each ther in their bks, n their blgs. But physicists didn’t pull the idea ut f thin air—rather, several distinct lines f reasning seem t pint t the multiverse’s existence. Hwever, critics warn that making the multiverse legal culd make it harder fr the public t distinguish speculative (推测性的) theries frm established fact, making it mre difficult t keep pseud-science (伪科学) at bay. Giving credit t such speculatin risks “turning fundamental physics int pseud-science”.
The multiverse cntrversy is rted in the idea f test ability. If we can’t interact with these ther universes, r detect them in any way, sme experts insist that reduces them t mere philsphical speculatin. But Carrll, an advcate fr “many wrlds”, argues that mathematics is the language describing ur physical theries. Since Schrdinger’s equatin (方程), n which Quanturr (量子) mechanic rests, predicts the existence f many wrlds, s be it.
Culd a mre expansive view f the universe itself be the next breakthrugh? As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thught, ‘We’ve gt it; this is what the whle universe is’—the peple wh’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s mre than ne f thse’ have always turned ut t be right.”
12. Why is Hllywd s ccupied with the multiverse?
A. It makes fr engaging plts.
B. It is a much-talked-abut tpic.
C. It is helpful t ppularize science.
D. It dminates the mainstream pp culture.
13. What d the underlined wrds in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Out f date.B. Out f place.C. Out f nwhere.D. Out f questin.
14. Accrding t the ppnents, the basic standard f fundamental physics is that ______.
A. it can be detected smehw
B. it can be reasned lgically
C. it can be interpreted philsphically
D. it can be predicted by mathematics equatin
15. What might be the authr’s attitude tward the multiverse?
A. Dubtful.B. Dismissive.C. Unclear.D. Apprving.
