researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects hard outer shells. the materials 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, clear, flexible and strong.a major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. plastics toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 60s. decades later, however, plastics 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 inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so theyre exploring ways to use it in wet environments. theyre also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. theyre even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.49. paragraph i of the passage is mainly about shrilks _.a. remarkable designb. interesting namec. major featuresd. basic elements50. what has become a concern about plastic?a. using it properly.b. producing it cheaply.c. developing its properties quickly. d. evaluating its contributions fairly.51. according to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because _.a. it can help plastic degradeb. it can be found in living thingsc. its mass production has been realizedd. its raw materials are abundant in nature52. which of the following can be the best title for the passage?a. recent progress in environmental protectionb. benefits of insects in scientific researchc. the harm of one-time productsd. a possible alternative to plasticcpeanuts to thisproudly reading my words, i glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. confused, i glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. having no choice, i slowly raised the report i had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “what could be causing everyone to act this way?”quickly, i flashed back to the day miss lancelot gave me the task. this was the first real talk i received in my new school. it seemed simple go on the internet and find information about a man named george washington. since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, i had never heard of that name before. as i searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! one invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across america. i stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. i called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. ah! tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, george washington carver.weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, i was totally lost. oh well, i lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what i had done wrong. as a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “my report is on george washington, the man who started the american revolution.” the whole world became quite! how could i know that she meant that george washington?obviously, my grade was awful. heartbroken but fearless, i decided to turn this around. i talked to miss lancelot, but she insisted no re-dos; no new grade. i felt that the punishment was not justified, and i believed i deserved a second chance. consequently, i threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. ten months later, that chance unfolded as i found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. i smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. justice is sweet!53. why was the author confused about the task?a. he was unfamiliar with american history.b. he followed the advice and flipped a coin.c. he forgot his teachers instruction.d. he was new at the school.54. the underlined word

grandfatherd. under the guidance of his headmaster第ii卷（非选择题，四部分，共60分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。the concept of homeschooling is not a new one. homeschooling means educating children at home instead of sending them to public or private schools. nowadays, homeschooling has become popular in many countries for a variety of reasons. one of them is poor quality of education in public schools and its also because private schools are quite expensive. some parents believe that because they know their childs strengths and weaknesses, they can teach him or her better. some parents prefer homeschooling so as to prevent their children from getting into bad company. there is another group of people who choose to educate their children at home because they want them to learn spirit and values of the family and also their religious beliefs. they also think that homeschooling would help in development of strong family bonds(家庭纽带).however, homeschooling is to some extent not good for students as well as parents.homeschooling is a full-time job and not fit for parents who have their own careers. it takes a lot of time for parents side to make homeschooling a success. other family members responsibilities may also be affected. they may give their full attention to the needs of their children. besides, a parent may have high educational qualifications, but that does not make him or her a good teacher. teaching is an art, which requires the ability to understand the needs of the children. it is likely that the parent might have forgotten what he or she has learned, and the curriculum(课程) of the children would also be different. this would make it difficult for the parents to explain the concepts to their children. parents also have the responsibility of designing the curriculum of students.in todays world, competition is seen in every field, and school prepares children to face these competitions. however, homeschooling does not give the children a chance to compare with other kids. they will also not be aware of where they stand in educational position among their classmates. this may affect their future lives. education is not the only thing that the children need to become successful human beings. it is necessary that they learn to communicate in the society, and public school provides them with such an environment, where they meet many people. schools also provide children with a chance to take part in various activities to improve their overall development.it is true that it has many benefits, but one must know that school teaches children skills to face and survive. homeschoolingdefinitioneducating children at home instead of in 56_ schools or private
