【题目】 Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable(可生物降解的)material inspired by insects’ hard outer shells. The material’s inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp(虾)shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clean, flexible and strong.

A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic’s toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s. Decades later, however, plastic’s very durability(耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?

Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer(肥料), and so will enrich the soil.

Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low-cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.

Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The invertors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they’re also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They’re even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.

【1】Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilk’s _____.

remarkable design

interesting name

major features

basic elements

【2】What has become a concern about plastic?

Using it properly.

Producing it cheaply.

Developing its properties quickly.

Evaluating its contributions fairly.

【3】According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because _____.

it can help plastic degrade

it can be found in living things

its mass production has been realized

its raw materials are abundant in nature

【4】What are the inventors doing in the lab?

Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk.

Testing shrilk’s use in wet conditions.

Making shrilk out of used household goods.

Improving shrilk’s flexibility for medical purposes.

【5】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Recent Progress in Environmental Protection

Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research

The Harm of One-time Products

A Possible Alternative to Plastic

铁证如山

刘春山

司马教授是个考古学家。这天深夜，他突然接到一个越洋电话，是他的外国朋友打来的，说是国外有个拍卖行要拍卖一座中国的观音菩萨像，随后发来了照片。司马教授一看，不禁打了个激灵。

原来，半年前有座古墓被盗，虽说盗墓贼被抓住了，可他们盗取的文物早就被倒卖得不知去向。照片上的这座观音菩萨像正是出自被盗古墓，司马教授不禁又惊又喜。他很快联系了有关部门进行交涉。因为按照国际公约，被盗古墓里的文物是不能拍卖的，而且还要原物归还。但交涉结果很不乐观，拍卖行要求中方拿出证据，证明观音菩萨像确实出自被盗古墓。

眼看观音菩萨像就要被拍卖了，司马教授还是找不到证据，他急得像热锅上的蚂蚁。忽然，他想起一个人──土拨鼠。

土拨鼠是一个七十多岁的老头儿，出身盗墓世家，江湖经验相当丰富，不过现在不干这个勾当了，还和司马教授成了好朋友。民间向来高手多，没准他能有法子。

第二天，司马教授提了两瓶老白干登门拜访，土拨鼠就好喝两口，一喝起来嘴上就没了把门的。三杯好酒下肚，司马教授说出来意，土拨鼠立刻不喝了，他脱鞋抠起了臭脚丫子，司马教授也不在意，知道土拨鼠碰到难题向来如此。

眼看脚丫子都抠红了，土拨鼠还是一言不发，司马教授知道没指望了，起身刚要走，忽然土拨鼠光着脚蹦了起来：“慢着！”

“有办法了？”司马教授满脸都是期待。土拨鼠说先看看古墓再说，于是两人驱车来到了被盗的古墓。刚进墓门，土拨鼠就皱了皱眉，蹲下身细看，好半天才说：“这是绝户盗。”

绝户盗？司马教授还是第一次听说这个词。土拨鼠指着地上被炸成齑粉的砖灰说：“看看，墓门是用炸药炸开的，这种盗墓方法最缺德，故称绝户盗。”

司马教授忙于找证据，便催促道：“快进墓室里边吧。”可土拨鼠还是不动，两只耗子般精明的眼睛滴溜溜乱转，嘴里还喃喃自语：“这是盗墓老手，活干得真漂亮。”

“老手？”司马教授惊问，“你怎么看出来的？”

土拨鼠指指四周说：“墓门的封砖都炸成了这样，可墓室没一点损伤，炸药拿捏得恰到好处，不是老手绝对办不到！”他摇了摇头，又接着说，“这下更难办了！老手盗墓后会把文物清理得不留一点痕迹，就怕被发现了。”

司马教授忐忑地问：“这么说，我们找不到观音菩萨像出自古墓的证据了？”

土拨鼠想了想，说：“也不是找不到，人过留名雁过留声，总会有蛛丝马迹的。”说着，他拿出放大镜细细察看起古墓来。

不知过了多长时间，土拨鼠像是茅塞顿开，兴奋地大嚷：“有了！”

“在哪儿？”司马教授忙问。土拨鼠弯腰抓起一把泥土，说：“这就是证据！”

司马教授起先一愣，紧接着恍然大悟：还真有过这样的先例！

原来，以前也发生过类似的事：一家国外拍卖行要拍卖一座盗自中国古墓的观音菩萨像，中方前去交涉，拍卖行也要求中方拿出出自古墓的证据，后来中方从观音菩萨像的脚趾缝里找到了一点残留的泥土，经化验正好和古墓里的泥土完全相同，最终观音像完璧归赵！

很快，司马教授带着土拨鼠一起飞到国外，来到了拍卖行。经过一系列查验手续后，两人被带到了库房，见到了那座珍贵的观音菩萨像。

土拨鼠拿出放大镜仔细察看，终于在其脚趾缝里找到了一点残留的泥土，他偷偷分成了两份。司马教授不解其意，土拨鼠低声说：“一份交给拍卖行，一份咱自己化验。”土拨鼠不愧是个老江湖，他怕拍卖行偷偷做手脚。

可化验结果令他们大跌眼镜，两份化验结果完全相同，都证明观音菩萨像上的泥土跟古墓里的泥土不同，观音菩萨像上的泥土是黄土，而墓室里的泥土是红土。看来真是盗墓老手，早有准备，连观音菩萨像上的泥土都换了！

这下，司马教授彻底绝望了。不料，土拨鼠却神秘地笑了笑，说他还留着一手，保证万无一失。说完，他们再次来到了拍卖行。

经过一番交涉后，拍卖行同意他们再次察看观音菩萨像。土拨鼠拿出早就准备好的棉签棒，伸进了观音像的耳朵眼，边伸边说：“菩萨的耳朵堵住了，掏完就能听见了，我一问，她就会说话。”

司马教授一听，吓坏了，小声说：“你是不是疯了？菩萨怎么会说话呢？这是在国外，这样的玩笑可开不得！”

土拨鼠却镇定自若，嘿嘿一笑，说：“菩萨早就说话了，不过只有我能听到。”

事实证明，土拨鼠真不是开玩笑，这观音菩萨像真“说话”了。

原来，土拨鼠见古墓是被炸开的，他断定当时古墓内肯定砖灰弥漫，这盗墓贼虽然把观音菩萨像外面的砖灰擦拭干净了，可耳朵眼里一定有残留，于是他用棉签棒掏出了耳朵眼里的砖灰，化验之后，再和古墓里的砖灰一比对，成分完全相同。最终，拍卖行不得不归还了观音菩萨像。
