这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了四本书,介绍了书的主要内容。

1

细节理解题。根据第一部分“If you’re looking for a moving story that explores themes of mental illness, grief, and love, pick up a copy of How It Feels to Float and follow Biz as she comes of age.”如果你在寻找一个以精神疾病、悲伤和爱为主题的感人故事,那就买一本《How It Feels to Float》,跟随Biz长大,可知,《How It Feels to Float》主要讲述了成长所面临的挑战。故选B项。

2

细节理解题。根据第二部分“Put on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thriller about a girl, a boy, and a string of unsolved murders.”戴上你破案的帽子,侦破关于一个女孩,一个男孩和一系列未侦破的谋杀案。可知,《Two Can Keep a Secret》是一部惊险的破案小说,讲述的是一连串悬案。故选C项。

细节理解题。Forest of a Thousand Lanterns中“The first book in the Rise of the Empress series”《女皇的崛起》系列的第一部,和Dune中“If the Star Wars movies have made you fall in love with the space opera, eventually you’re going to read, Dune Trilogy (沙丘三部曲), Frank Herbert’s most famous creation.”如果《星球大战》电影让你爱上太空歌剧,最终你会读沙丘三部曲弗兰克·赫伯特最著名的创造。可知,两部作品都是一系列作品中的其中一部作品。故选A项。

细节理解题主要考查考生对某句话或某几句话的理解,同学们若能根据题干内容从原文中找到相关的句子,然后进行比较和分析,便可确定最佳答案。多数情况下,作者不会明确的呈现一个事实,读者需要根据已有的信息进行处理,读出言外之意。还要特别注意文章的时间顺序、故事发生的地点、情节的发展和人物之间的关系。例如,第2题文章中“Put on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thriller about a girl, a boy, and a string of unsolved murders.”戴上你破案的帽子,侦破关于一个女孩,一个男孩和一系列未侦破的谋杀案。可知,《Two Can Keep a Secret》是一部惊险的破案小说,讲述的是一连串悬案。故选C项。

【题目】 To address the plastic pollution troubling the world’s seas and waterways, Cornell University chemists have developed a new polymer (聚合物) that can degrade (降解) plastic when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, according to the research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

“We have created a new plastic that has the mechanical properties required by commercial fishing gear. If it eventually gets lost in the water environment, this material can degrade on a realistic time scale,” said lead researcher Bryce Lipinski, professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Cornell University. “This material could effectively reduce persistent plastic accumulation in the environment.”

Commercial fishing contributes to about half of all floating plastic waste that ends up in the oceans. Fishing nets and ropes are primarily made from three kinds of polymers, none of which easily degrade. “While research of degradable plastics has received much attention in recent years,” Lipinski said, “obtaining a material with a mechanical strength comparable to commercial plastic remains a difficult challenge.”

Coates and his research team have spent the past 15 years developing the new plastic called isotactic polypropylene oxide, or iPPO. While its original discovery was in 1949, the mechanical strength of this material was unknown before this recent work. The high isotacticity and polymer chain length of their material makes it different from previous plastics and provides its mechanical strength.

Lipinski and other scientists want no race of the polymer to be left in the environment. He notes there is precedent (先例) for the biodegradation of small chains of iPPO which could effectively make it disappear and ongoing efforts aim to prove this.

1What is the feature about the new polymer?

A.It can solve the problem of plastic consumption.

B.It can degrade plastic waste in the sea water.

C.It has been developed to solve plastic pollution.

D.It has been developed to lower fishing costs.

2What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A.It requires great effort to invent the new plastic.

B.Fishing should be forbidden in the sea.

C.Fishing nets and ropes are not the major pollution source.

D.Degradable plastics were not paid attention to until recent years.

3What did the recent study find about iPPO?

A.Its original discovery.B.Its mechanical properties.

C.Its complex structure.D.Its mechanical strength.

4What is Lipinski’s attitude towards the future of iPPO?

A.Doubtful.B.Promising.

C.Unconcerned.D.Disapproval.
