12.One day,when I was going to check in at an airport,I noticed there was a big problem.The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly!And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle.Everyone was worried,as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight,and the bus was not even at the airport yet.
Finally,the bus pulled up,and the driver said,"They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班),and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight.Good Luck!"
Needless to say,everyone was in a really bad mood.I was loading my luggage into the bus and had slung (吊) my banjo over my back when the driver said,"What?Are you going to play that in my bus?""Well,really did not plan on it,"I replied."I was only kidding,"said the driver.But I started thinking about it,and I pulled out the banjo.A worried,angry woman said,"Well,what if I don't like it?""Then tell me and I will stop,"I replied.
We drove off,and the tension (紧张) made the atmosphere in the bus horrendous!Then I started plucking (弹奏) the old song Blue Skies.In a few minutes,I noticed everyone was singing along.I started to sing,too,and before long,the whole bus burst into song.
One song led to another,and everyone seemed to have a request."Do you know You Are My Sunshine?"Everyone laughed and sang,with food passed around the bus,and before long,the airport was in sight.
The bus driver called,"We made it!We never would have done it without the help of our banjo player."Shouts of approval rang through the bus.People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit,and a few exchanged hugs.The driver said to me,"This was the best ride I ever had.Thanks for your music."
A few weeks later,my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends.Their letters reminded me of how,by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship,you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience-a magical,musical bus ride.
28.What can we learn about the driver from his words in Paragraph 2?A
A.He was unwilling to take those people to the airport.
B.He was late because he just returned from an all-night shift.
C.He thought it was possible to get those people to the airport in time.
D.He thought he was lucky to take those people to the airport.
29.When the author decided to play his banjo,C.
A.the driver fully supported him            
B.all the passengers disliked that idea 
C.not all the passengers preferred that idea    
D.the whole bus burst into song 
30.The underlined word"horrendous"in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by"B".
A.cheerful           B.terrible             C.strange          D.changeable 
31.What does this text mainly tell us?B
A.An unforgettable flight to Seattle.
B.A wonderful musical bus ride.
C.A great banjo player.
D.The amazing friendship on a bus.

3.Styrofoam,or polystyrene,is a light-weight material,about 95 percent air,with very good  insulation(隔热) properties,according to Earthsource.org.It is used in products from cups that  keep your drinks hot or cold to packaging material that protects items during shipping.
    With the above good features,Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation.It cannot be recycled  without releasing dangerous pollution into the air.The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency says it is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste.
    But now the common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue,specifically,mealworms.Scientists from the U.S.and China have discovered that mealworms can digest plastic.One mealworm can digest a pill-sized amount of plastic a day.Study co-author Wei-Min Wu says that in 24 hours,the plastic is turned into carbon dioxide.
   Since Styrofoam has no nutrition at all,are the worms hurt by eating plastic?Much to the scientists'surprise,the study found that worms eating Styrofoam were as healthy as worms eating bran(谷糠).
    The researchers will study the worm's eating habits and digesting system,looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale.Once the way can be put into practice,it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic.
"Solving the issue of plastic pollution is important",says Wu,a Stanford University environmental engineering instructor.After all,our earth is small and landfill space is becoming limited with too much garbage waiting to be dealt with,he says.
    About 33-million tons of plastic are thrown away in the United States every year.Plastic plates,cups and containers take up 25 percent to 30 percent of space in America's landfills.One Styrofoam cup takes more than 1 million years to recycle in a landfill,according to Cleveland State University.

68.Why will researchers study the worm's eating habits and digesting system?B

20.What picture do you have of the future?Will life in the future be better,worse or the same as now?What do you hope about the future?
  Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity,from entertainment to technology.First of all,it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead,people will choose a program from a"menu"and a computer will send the program directly to the television.By 2050,music,films,programs,newspapers and books will come to us by computer.
   In what concerns the environment,water will have become one of our most serious problems.Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.In transport,cars will run on new,clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents.Today,many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050,the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.
  In the domain(领域)of technology,robots will have replaced people in factories.Many factories already use robots.Big companies prefer robots-they do not ask for payrises or go on strike,and they work 24 hours a day.By 2050,we will see robots everywhere-in factories,schools,offices,hospitals,hops and homes.
  Last but not least,medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.Today scientists have discovered how to control genes.They have already produced clones of animals.By 2050,scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look,how they behave and how much intelligence they have.Scientists will be able to do these things-but should they?

17.Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear?What do you think of that?Fashionable?Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look.(36)A.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and part of the body.His request came after a class trip.One day,he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet.(37)C.
But in Italy,a nation that takes fashion very seriously,the suggestion caused a debate among parents,teachers and students.The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students'freedom-or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
(38)B."We do not want to kick fashion out."the headmaster explained,"but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school."Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
(39)F.Ludovica Gaudio,14,wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class.It was cold,so she wore a matching orange scarf.(40)E."I don't really feel comfortable in those sorts of jeans,"said Sarah Lattanzi,"in winter,when dressed like that,it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache."

A.But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B.A parents'group praised the move in favor of good taste,while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
C.He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
D.Most students have simply ignored the request.
E.Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request,simply for practical reasons.
F.Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools'requests.
G.Schools should pay attention to things more important than students'clothes.
