13.Two recent studies might end the great grocery bag debate.The debates over which type of grocery bag is best break down into two issues:which are better for the environment,and which are better for your health.
The first study focused on the question of cloth bag contamination(传染).It's well-known that supermarkets offer many opportunities for people to pick up contaminated food:other shoppers contaminate shopping carts,and stockroom clerks contaminate containers.When shoppers put such things into cloth bags,they can contaminate the bag,and then   wind up contaminating uncontaminated foods on their next shopping trip.Large numbers of bacteria were found in almost all bags.
Washing the bags might help,but researchers found that"reusable bags are seldom washed and often used for different purposes".
The second study should end the"use reusable grocery bags"argument.In the study,researchers evaluated(评估)the bags on a set of environmental standards,including global warming potential.The table below shows how many times that non-HDPE bags must be used in order to bring their global warming potential down to that of an HDPE bag.The first column,for example,shows that a paper bag should be reused three times to reduce its global warming potential to that of an HDPE bag,while you have to use an LDPE bag four times,a non-woven PP bag 11times,and a cotton bag up to 131times to achieve the same end.
Type of carrierHDPE bag (No secondary reuse)HDPE bag (40.3% reused as rubbish bags)HDPE bag (100% reused as rubbish bags)HDPE bag (Used three times)
Paper bag3479
LDPE bag4=5912
Non-woven PP bag11142633
Cotton bag131173327393
So the conclusion seems clear:the traditional,thin plastic bag has better environmental performance and is likely to be quite safer for human health.

72.The researchers in both studies might agree thatC.
A.we should reuse our grocery bags as much as possible
B.cotton bags are environment-friendly when they are reused
C.plastic bags are good for the environment and our health
D.grocery bags,if washed,can reduce global warming potential
73.The underlined phrase"wind up"in Paragraph 2probably meansB.
A.give up    B.end up     C.pick up    D.take up
74.What's the problem with cloth bags according to the first study?A
A.They are easily contaminated when reused.
B.They produce large numbers of bacteria.
C.They are poisonous and can pollute foods.
D.They need washing before being reused.
75.We know from the chart that in terms of reducing the global warming potential,A.
A.if an HDPE bag is used three times,a cotton bag should be used 393times
B.the more times HDPE bags are reused,the greater their global warming potential is
C.LDPE bags,when reused 9times,have a better effect than cotton bags reused 131times
D.non-woven PP bags,though reused 33times,work worse than paper bags reused 7times.

4.Farming is moving indoors,where the sun never shines,where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right.The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light,temperature,wetness,air quality and nutrition.It could be in a New York high-rise or a complex in the Saudi desert.It may be an answer to the
The world already is having trouble feeding itself.Half the people on Earth live in cities,and nearly half of those-about 3 billion-are hungry or ill-fed.Food prices,currently increasing,arebuffetedby dryness.Hoods and the cost of energy required to plant,harvest and transport it.And prices will only get more unstable.Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain.Fanners in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop.And the world is getting more crowded:by mid-century,the global population will grow from 6.8 billion to 9 billion.
To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness,or finding ways to completely increase crop output.
Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further,growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed(封闭的)and regulated environments.In their research station,water flows into the pans when needed,and the temperature is kept constant.Lights go on and off,creating similar day and night,but according to the rhythm of the plant.
A building of 100 square meters and layers(层)of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch,about 140,000 people.Their idea isn't to grow foods that require much space,like corn or potatoes.
Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful.Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow.Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions.They use about 90 percent less water than outdoors agriculture.And city fanning means producing food near the consumer,and there's no need to transport it long distances.
66.What can we mainly learn from Paragraph 2?C
A.The climate is worse and worse.
B.The city people live a hard life.
C.The world has difficulty feeding its people.
D.The world's population is increasing fast.
67.The underlined word"buffeted"in Paragraph 1 meansA.
A.badly affected        B.prevented      C.demanded      D.well achieved
68.Which of the following is true of the environments in the research station?C
A.The temperature is often changed.
B.Sunshine is in great need for plants.
C.Day and night depends on plants.
D.Air quality is controlled by plants.
69.It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farmingB   
A.helps save sea water a lot                              
B.is highly adaptable
C.resembles greenhouse agriculture                        
D.suits the production of corn
70.What is the text mainly about?D
A.Development of indoor farming.                         
B.Great Revolution in farming.
C.Advantages of indoor farming.                          
D.Sunless,rainless indoor farming.

1.Researchers in Britain are driving the environmental movement to a new level.A team from the University of Warwick has built what it calls the world's first completely environmentally friendly Formula Three racing car.
The car is made mainly of renewable materials,like plants and vegetables.The structure around the car is made from natural plant fibers and potatoes.The steering wheel(方向盘) is made from root vegetables like carrots.The engine uses bio-fuel made from vegetable oil and waste chocolate.
The new racing car is extremely fast.The car has a top speed of two hundred fifteen kilometers an hour.And it can go from zero to ninety-five kilometers an hour in just two and a half seconds.
The racing car meets all of the Formula Three racing requirements except for its biodiesel(生物柴油)engine.
Automobile racing is one of the most widely watched sports in the world.But it is also considered one of the least friendly sports to the environment.Racing cars burn a lot of fuel,and create a lot of air pollution.In recent years,the racing industry has taken steps to protect the environment.More racing companies are now producing cars that use less energy.These cars produce less pollution than cars that depend on traditional fuel,like gasoline.
Last month,the new racing car was set to run in its first competitive race at the Formula Three Championship Final at Brands Hatch.It would have been the first biodiesel-powered car to race at Formula Three.Current Formula Three rules let only gasoline-powered car to compete.Officials needed permission from all of the Formula Three racers for the biodiesel-powered car to compete.They were unable to contact one of the drivers,so the new racing car didn't appear in the event.In test runs,the new racing car was the fifth fastest among the Formula Three race cars.Supporters are hoping to have the fuel problem solved in time to compete in the next season.

66.What's the second paragraph mainly about?A
A.What materials the new racing car is made of.
B.Why researchers built the new racing car.
C.The characteristics of the new racing car.
D.The process of the new racing car being designed.
67.According to the passage,theD of the new racing car doesn't meet the Formula Three racing requirements.
A.speed      B.appearance      C.weight      D.engine
68.It can be inferred from the passage thatC.
A.the new racing car is the first environmentally friendly car
B.automobile racing could be forbidden in the near future
C.many people like to watch automobile racing
D.the new racing car will be allowed to compete in the next season of Formula Three racing
69.In recent years,racing companies are producing cars thatC.
A.burn more fuel                    B.go more quickly
C.produce less pollution            D.cost less money
70.Why didn't the new racing car compete at the Formula Three Championship Final last month?B
A.Because the new racing car still needs testing.
B.Because officials needed each racer's permission but failed to contact one.
C.Because there're some technical problems to be solved.
D.Because few drivers think it is fast enough.

8.Modern science suggests that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live.Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.
Keep a scientific diet.Keep in mind that sugar can be removed from our diet completely.Over intake of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat.Over intake of protein or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat.We need only a few grams of protein every day to keep our body in order.Like rain to crops,not the more the better.
Be always in a good mood.There is a relationship between the mood and health.A good mood keeps you in high spirits.Thanks to the internet,we can enjoy and learn much without going out.Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains,enjoy music and movies and chat with some good friends.Just keep happy.
Enough sleep.Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don't have enough sleep.With teens,a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults,it's work.Meanwhile,a third study of young children shows that a lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future.Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.
Proper exercise.Do exercise to keep away from fatness.Because of the quick pace of modern life,you don't have time to do exercise every day,but at least three times a week and 45minutes each time.
