The first Riverdance show was performed perfectly in Dublin in 1994.BEven as we humans keep polluting the world, nature somehow keeps finding a way to help correct our mistakes. First, there is a molecule(分子) that helps reduce global warming. Now, a team of Yale students may have discovered something equally amazingplastic eating fungi(真菌).Pestalotiopsis microspora(微孢子) is the only known fungus to be able to survive only on plastic. The plastic is so hard that it takes thousands of years to break down on its own.The best part is that these fungi can do the job even in an oxygenless environment, which means that it could work perfectly even at the bottom of a landfill.The discovery was the result of an effort between three Yale students who were part of the Rainforest Expedition and Laboratory Program, allowing a selected group of students to visit Ecuadors rainforest and seek out fungi and bacteria that live inside plants without harming them, which could hold medical or scientific promise. The samples are then brought back to the Universitys lab where they do wide testing to see if they are of any practical or scientific use.In 2008, a student named Pria Anand gathered specimens for one purposeto find a microbe that could eat plastic. Thats when she came across the Pestalotiopsis microspora. Though she did show the unbelievable characteristics of the fungi, she was unable to get the desired results by the time she graduated, in 2010.Luckily for her Jonathan Russell, a 2011 graduating student, picked up right where she had left off. By combining her work with research performed by another of Prias classmates, Jeffery Huang, he was able to separate the enzyme(酶) in the fungus that is the most effective in breaking down plastic.Hopefully, experts will take it up from here and make the project a reality and help reduce plastic!24. What is the main character of Pestaltiopsis microspora?A. It helps reduce global warming.B. It needs less oxygen to produce.C. It can break down plastic.D. It can be buried in a landfill.25. The underlined sentence in the passage may mean _.A. Jonathan continued to study what Pria failedB. Jonathan drove to pick up Pria when she got offC.

These fungi can only work in an oxygen environment.C. The discovery was made by chance.D. A group of students made the discovery that fungi can break down plastic.27. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Fungi Love PlasticB. Plastic Is Eaten by FungiC. Fungi Are Eaten by PlasticD. Fungi Are Hidden in PlasticCCharles Dickens is often thought of as one of the greatest British writers. February 7 marked the 200th anniversary of his birthday. Yet for many, his language is old-fashioned and his stories often improbable. So why do so many people know and read Dickens today?One reason is the British governments insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at school. Alongside William Shakespeare, Dickens is on every English literature school reading list. His stories, though often long by todays standards, are great moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.Earlier this month a ceremony was held in Portsmouth ,where Dickens was born Prince Charles said at the ceremony, Dickens used his creative genius to campaign passionately for social justice, his characterization is a fresh today as on the day is was written.His books stand out from many other writers because of his insight into human nature. Dickens like Shakespeare tells us truths about human behavior. They are as true in the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century.Readers have returned to Dickens books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about their own times.No surprise then that it was Dickens whom Britons turned to during the economic crisis in the last couple of years. Dickens helped them make sense of a world that was rapidly falling apart. The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect illustration of bad times.As long as Dickens novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britains best-loved writers.28. In the article, the author intends to tell us _.A. why Dickens novel still appeal to readers in modern timesB. that Dickens works are no longer popular among young peopleC. why the British government puts Dickens on school reading listsD. that Dickens and Shakespeares works are required for study at school29.

The Journal of Youth Studies recently published new research indicating that one in five teens from 12 to 15 regularly wake during the night to have some form of social media. Not surprisingly, the research also indicated that these social night owls were three times more likely than their friends to feel tired at school and that girls were more likely than boys to be called to office.The blue light produced by cell phones, tablets and computers signals the brain to stay awake, so its easy to see why a teen might be up all night. A 2016 study in Psychological Science noted the same brain circuits(脑回路) that are activated by eating chocolate and winning money are activated when teens see large numbers of “likes” on their posts or those of their peers.Besides not catching enough snaps, by interrupting their sleep cycle, teens may never fully engage in REM sleep(快速动眼睡眠), the deepest stage of sleep that may be responsible for brain development and learning.Considering about 72 percent of children from 6 to 17 sleep with some electronic media in their bedrooms, parents need to set boundaries sooner rather than later.“Providing access to devices and thus to social media is a privilege that children can earn and also lose,” Janie Feldman, a psychologist who treats sleep disorders, reminds parents that, “temporarily removing privileges can have important impact so long as the means of earning back the privileges is clear. Teens and parents should discuss and agree upon terms of use, timing, and access. Teenagers are most cooperative when they agree to the rules, so including them in defining rules makes for very effective parenting.32. What does the new research indicate about teens from 12 to 15?A. Some of them rely on social media for homework.B. Some of them share their sleep experience online.C. Some of them often use cell phones or tablets at midnight.D. Some of them surf online for ways to protect animals.33. How will teens brain react when they see many “likes” on their posts?A. It will become too active for the teens to go to sleep.B. It will inspire the teens to post something more online.C. It will promote the teens for some restful time.D. It will promote the teens to earn money with their posts.34. What advice does Janie Feldman give parents of teens?A. Forbid their children from using social media at night.B. Get the children to have the right to social media with housework.C. Never give the children access to social media if they break a rule.D. Give back childrens media access when they correct their errors.35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. How to Win Back the Trust of ParentsB. Sleep Disorders and Social MediaC. REM Sleep and Brain DevelopmentD. The Harm of Social Media on Teens第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care, there are decisions you need to make.
