In the 2010s, 34-year-ld Brianne Miller travelled arund the wrld as a marine bilgist. N matter hw remte the lcatin, she made the same alarming discvery: huge amunts f plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed t d smething.
Canadians thrw ut three millin tns f plastic waste each year, 33 percent f which cmes frm fd packaging. Apprximately ne third f all fd prduced wrldwide ges t waste, t. Miller, determined t fix the prblem, imagined a shp that went further than banning plastic bags—a place that avided bth wasteful packaging and the bad habit f wasting fd itself.
In June 2018, Miller pened her first zer-waste grcery stre in Canada. She named it Nada, and ensured everything was designed t make the zer-waste shpping experience easy. Yu can bring yur wn cntainers, thugh it’s nt necessary: right by the frnt dr are sanitized (消毒过的) glass r plastic cntainers, free fr the taking.
Nada sells varius fd items, all 100 percent package-free. Miller is clear that the stre desn’t try t cmpete n price. Fr example, ppcrn with paper package at a regular stre may cst 70 cents per 100 grams; at Nada, a custmer might pay $1 per 100 grams. Even s, zer-waste shpping can still cme with savings. Take prducts that typically cme packaged in large cntainers, like spaghetti sauce, a large part f the traditinal cst wuld be in that glass jar.
Althugh the early days f the pandemic were tugh n the business, Miller timely turned t nline rdering and delivery, thugh in a very Nada way. Everything frm live il t fresh eggs cmes delivered in sanitized cntainers, which are cllected with the next rund f deliveries.
Thse cntainers d s much mre than just reduce waste. They get peple thinking big, just as Miller hped. “They’re tagged with Nada stickers, s yu can see hw many times the cntainer has been used,” she says, and then smiles.
24．Brianne Miller was inspired t start her business by the fact that ______.
A．fd packaging generated tns f waste B．plastic litters psed a threat t marine life
C．peple frmed the bad habit f wasting fd
D．lts f fd prduced wrldwide went t waste
25．Which f the fllwing can best describe Miller?
A．Brave and cautius.B．Caring and humrus.
C．Creative and determined.D．Optimistic and thughtful.
26．What can be learned frm the last tw paragraphs?
A．Miller thinks her effrts wrthwhile.
B．Miller stpped her business during the pandemic.
C．Nada suffered serius lsses because f the pandemic.
D．Cntainers were recycled during the pandemic t save mney.

In the genetic age, eclgists’ jbs are made much easier by tw things. One is that every rganism carries its wn chemical identity card, in the frm f its genme (基因组). The secnd is that they drp these ID cards everywhere they g. Urine, bits f fur stuck t a hedge, even shed skin cells: all depsit DNA int the envirnment. Cheap gene sequencing allws scientists t harvest this “envirnmental DNA” (eDNA) frm sil, sand, water and the like, and use it t keep track f which species are living where.
“Every rganism,” f curse, includes humans. In a paper published n May 15th in Nature Eclgy & Evlutin, a grup f researchers frm America and Eurpe reprt that such eDNA surveys pick up large quantities f human DNA as well as the animal srt. That DNA can be read—and ptentially matched with individuals—by anyne with the right equipment.
The researchers did nt set ut t study “inadvertent human genetic bycatch”, as they call the phenmenn. The wrk began at the Witney Sea Turtle Hspital in Flrida, during an investigatin int a viral turtle disease. The researchers sampled water frm the turtle’s tanks, as well as frm cean water and beaches upn which the creatures nested, lking fr viral DNA.
They expected t sweep up DNA frm ther species during their trawl (拖网). What was surprising, accrding t Jessica Farrell, a bilgist at the Witney Hspital and ne f the paper’s authrs, was just hw much human DNA they fund. Even thugh many f their sampling sites were nt near twns and cities, they fund human genetic material in every sample they examined.
Interested, they expanded their search. In bth Flrida and in Ireland they fund human DNA in rivers, with cncentratins especially high as they flwed thrugh twns. They fund it in beach sand, and even in air frm rms in which humans had been wrking. Human DNA is nt quite everywhere: it was nt detectable in deep cean water, r n remte beaches clsed t the public. But anywhere that humans are, their DNA appears t be as well.
In ne sense, that is unsurprising. But advances in gene-sequencing meant there was enugh infrmatin in the samples t deduce plenty f things abut the humans in questin. The researchers culd pick ut males thanks t DNA frm the Y chrm sme. They culd infer an individual’s ancestry, and even spt mutatins (突变) that affect a persn’s disease risk. David Duffy, anther f the paper’s authrs, said the amunt and quality f the DNA they recvered “far exceeded” the minimum necessary t be included in America’s database f missing peple. Dr Duffy and his clleagues did nt try t identify individuals in their study, fr mral reasns. But they had n dubt it culd be dne.
27. Which f the fllwing abut eDNA is true accrding t the passage?
A. It prvides a way t track the migratin f animals.
B. It allws researchers t restre individual rganisms.
C. It can be easily cllected frm all types f envirnments.
D. It cntains a wealth f genetic infrmatin abut varius species.
28. In this passage, the wrd “inadvertent” (paragraph 3) is clsest in meaning t “__________”.
A. familiar B. accidentalC. insensitiveD. regular
29. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. The applicatin f eDNA fr identity cnfirmatin has arused cncern.
B. As expected, the researchers detected much human eDNA in their search.
C. An individual’s gender and ancestry can be cnfirmed by means f eDNA.
D. eDNA is instrumental in upgrading America’s database f missing peple.
30. Which f the fllwing might be the best title fr the passage?
A. Unintended Discveries in Turtle Disease Research
B. The Eclgical Significance f Envirnmental DNA
C. Human DNA’s Prevalence in Envirnmental Samples
D. Using Genetic Infrmatin t Identify Missing Persns

In recent years American sciety has becme increasingly dependent n its universities t find slutins t its majr prblems. It is the universities that have been charged with the principal respnsibility fr develping the expertise t place men n the mn; fr dealing with ur urban prblems and with ur deterirating envirnment; fr develping the means t feed the wrld’s rapidly increasing ppulatin. The effrt invlved in meeting these demands presents its wn prblems. In additin, this cncentratin n the creatin f new knwledge significantly impacts n the universities’ effrts t perfrm their ther principal functins, the transmissin and interpretatin f knwledge—the imparting (传授) f the heritage f the past and the preparing f the next generatin t carry it frward.
With regard t this, perhaps their mst traditinally acknwledged task, clleges and universities tday find themselves in a serius bind generally. On the ne hand, there is the American cmmitment, entered int especially since Wrld War II, t prvide higher educatin fr all yung peple wh can prfit frm it. The result f the cmmitment has been a dramatic rise in enrllments in ur universities, cupled with a radical (激进的) shift frm the private t the public sectr f higher educatin. On the ther hand, there are serius and cntinuing limitatins n the resurces available fr higher educatin.
While higher educatin has becme a great “grwth industry”, it is als simultaneusly a tremendus drain n the resurces f natin. With the vast increase in enrllment and the shift in pririties away frm educatin in state and federal budgets, there is in mst f ur public institutins a significant decrease in per capita (人均) utlay fr their students. One crucial aspect f this drain n resurces lies in the persistent shrtage f trained faculty, which has led, in turn, t a declining standard f cmpetence in instructin.
Intensifying these difficulties is, as indicated abve, the cncern with research, with its cmpeting claims n resurces and the attentin f the faculty. In additin, there is a strng tendency fr the institutins’ rganizatin and functining t fulfill the demands f research rather than thse f teaching.
Accrding t the passage, shuld be the mst imprtant functin f institutins f higher educatin.
creating new knwledge B. prviding slutins t scial prblems
preparing their students t transmit inherited knwledge
making experts n sphisticated industries ut f their students
32. In American universities, there is a cntradictin (矛盾) between .
A. mre students and less investment B. educatin quality and ecnmic prfit
C. lw enrllment rate and high drput rate D. private wnership and American cmmitment
33. Which is True abut American universities?
A. The institutins’ rganizatin tends t meet the demands f teaching.
B. Research ccupies mre resurces and teachers’ attentin than teaching.
C. Mst teachers are devted t imprving their cmpetence in instructin.
D. The lack f trained faculty leads t the decline in the quality f researches.
34. We can infer frm the passage that .
A. high quality attracts students t stay in public universities
B. the American cmmitment is t blame fr all the difficulties
C. higher educatin used t have a pririty in gvernment budgets
D. the increasing expenses fr each student drain the natinal resurces

There has been a very serius decline in the numbers f shallw-water fish as a result f verfishing. Peple still want t eat fish, s the fishing industry must lk at ther surces, especially the deep waters f the Atlantic. ____35____
Cnservatin measures will have t be put in place if these deep-sea fish are t survive. Research n five such species shws that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. ____36____ Many species culd well disappear cmpletely if the present trend cntinues. These are species that have been swimming in ur ceans fr hundreds f millins f years.
The prblem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a lng time t reprduce and nrmally live fr many years._____37_____The average size f such fish als declined, with ne species shwing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is f particular cncern, as large fish tend t prduce mre ffspring than small nes.
_____38____The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reprduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage dne by verfishing ges beynd the sea envirnment. Millins f peple make a living in the fishing industry. ____39____ Measures must be taken t nt nly cnserve ecsystems, but als sustain livelihds and ensure fd security.
Billins f peple rely n fish fr prtein.
B. Unfrtunately, their reprductin rate is very lw.
C. Many peple nw chse nt t eat deep-sea fish.
D. This puts them in the categry f “critically endangered”.
E. Nne f these facts has been taken int accunt by the fishing industry.
F. Overfishing is a majr cause f decline in ppulatins f cean wildlife.
G. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers f many f the species caught.

I had a great interest in researching the tpic f hw t imprve yur sense f directin, because my wn sense f directin is abslutely terrible. Take ging t the tilet in a restaurant, fr example. I can find my way there easily enugh because there are signs pinting me in the right directin. But getting back t my table is anther stry. After all, there are n helpful signs saying, “This is where yu were sitting less than five minutes ag”.
Hwever, rather than accept the situatin f myself frequently walking int cupbards and backtracking dwn dead ends, I’m determined t give my sense f directin a much-needed imprvement.
Nwadays, f curse, it’s easy t rely n GPS (全球卫星定位系统)t find yur way. But if yu really want t imprve yur sense f directin, it’s a gd idea t cunt n yurself.
Studying a map and memrizing the way befre yu set ut des have its benefits—nt least because the amunt f mental energy it requires means it’s mre likely t stick in yur mind. Lking at electrnic maps n a big screen—r even studying a paper map—als allws yu t get a sense f that all-imprtant bigger picture and hw everywhere fits tgether.
Paying full attentin is key, t. It’s imprtant t ntice what’s arund yu—inall directins. Instead f staring straight ahead, make sure yu lk up, dwn and behind yu as well. This will cme in particularly useful when yu’re n the return jurney—even if it’s just finding yur way back frm the tilet in a restaurant.
Try t relax when yu’re n unfamiliar grund. It’s all t easy t be anxius and afraid if yu imagine yu may be lst—but this sudden feeling f anxiety will nly prevent yu frm calmly wrking ut which way t g. Besides, getting lst is ne f the best ways t discver new places and add mre detail t that ever-grwing mental map—bth f which will help yu becme “directin smarter” in the lng term.
Finally, yur sense f directin is a use-it-r-lse-it skill. If yu nly stick t the ways yu already knw, it’s never ging t get any better. S, nw’s the time t start explring!
40.What prblem des the writer have accrding t the passage?
41.Accrding t the passage, what can we d t imprve the sense f directin?
42.Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, and then underline it and explain why.
T becme “directin smarter”, we need t stay calm instead f being anxius, s we must avid getting lst in all circumstances.
43.In additin t the ways mentined in the passage, what else can yu d t find yur ways in a new place? (In abut 40 wrds)
