Plastic—Eating Wrm
Greater wax mth
Humans prduce mre than 300 millin tns f plastic every year. Almst half f that ends up in landfills(垃圾填埋场) ,and up t 12 millin tns pllute the ceans. S far there is n effective way t get rid f it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stmachs f sme hungry wrms(幼虫).
Researchers in Spain and England fund that the wrms f the greater wax mth(大蜡螟) can break dwn plyethylene(聚乙烯),which accunts fr 40% f plastics.
That is t say, part f plastics can be cnsumed by this kind f wrms. The team left 100 wax wrms n a plastic shpping bag fr 12 hurs, and the wrms cnsumed and brke dwn abut 92 milligrams, r almst 3% f it. T cnfirm that the wrms' chewing alne was nt respnsible fr the plyethylene breakdwn, the researchers made sme wrms int paste(糊状物)and applied it t plastic films. 14 hurs later the films had lst 13% f their mass—apparently brken dwn by enzymes(酶)frm the wrms' stmachs. Their findings were published in Current Bilgy.
Federica Bertcchini, c—authr f the study, says the wrms' ability t break dwn their everyday fd—beeswax—als allws them t break dwn plastic." Wax is a cmplex mixture, but the basic bnd in plyethylene, the carbn—carbn bnd, is there as well," she explains. "The wax wrm develped a methd r system t break this bnd."
Jennifer Debruyn, a micrbilgist at the University f Tennessee, wh was nt invlved in the study, says itis nt surprising that such wrms can break dwn plyethylene. But cmpared with previus studies, she finds the speed f breaking dwn in this ne exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be t identify where the enzyme cmes frm. Is it an enzyme prduced by the wrm itself r by its gut micrbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertcchini agrees and hpes her team's findings might ne day help make use f the enzyme t break dwn plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in sme kind f industrial prcess—nt simply "millins f wrms thrwn n tp f the plastic."
28. What can we learn abut the wrms in the study?
A. They take plastics as their everyday fd.
B. They can cnsume plastics.
C. They end up in landfills.
D. They are new creatures.
29. Accrding t Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step f the study is t .
A. prve the research findings
B. discver ther kinds f wrms
C. increase the breakdwn speed
D. find ut the surce f the enzyme
30. It can be inferred frm the last paragraph that the chemical might .
A. help t raise wrms
B. help make plastic bags
C. be used t clean the ceans
D. be prduced in factries in future
31. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T prpse new means t keep ec—balance.
B. T present a way t break dwn plastics.
C. T intrduce the diet f a special wrm.
D T explain a study methd n wrms.

The Case fr Classics
Many high schl students cmplain when they lk at a curse syllabus(大纲) fr Chinese and knw they shuld read The Stry f the Stne and ther pieces f classic literature. 32 But there are sme gd reasns why reading the classics is an imprtant part f a 21st century educatin.
33 As students explre texts that were written hundreds f years befre, they knw the wrld as it was in thse days. Being able t hear thse vices frm the past is a gd chance yung peple shuld be grateful t have.
Furthermre, as students read classic wrks, they begin t see histry in a new way. Living in the mdern wrld, mst teens dn't think abut that human civilizatin has been arund fr a lngtime. 34 Yet the experiences f thse peple can help students deal with the challenge tday. The wrding and writing style may have changed, but the deep themes (lve, lss, and curage) are as true tday as they were fr the authrs f these early wrks.
One f the mst imprtant reasns t study classic literature, hwever, is t expand ne's mind. 35 T prve this, a grup f scientists gathered vlunteers wh agreed t have their brains canned while reading phrases frm classic literature in bth their riginal frm and in mdern translatins. The result f the study shwed a significant increase in the brain activity f peple reading the riginal literature wrks.
36 It cnnects students t histry, helps them slve tday's prblems and imprves their thinking. Therefre, if tday's teens are ging t grw as readers, writers, and critical thinkers, it is imprtant that elassic literature remains a part f their educatin.
A. Clearly, that's why it is s imprtant.
B. These were things that were n peple's minds at that time.
C. Students ften wnder why they have t study “ancient” writing.
D. T sum up, classic literature is imprtant in a high schl educatin.
E. They dn't realize they have the same experiences with ancient peple, either.
F. Reading writings frm lng ag can be like ging back thrugh a time machine.
C. Appreciating the writing style in classics can stretch the brain and make it strnger.

Can a rbt really freestyle?
Engineers at the Gergia Institute f Technlgy, led by Gil Weinberg, have designed the first musical rbt able t play music and even create it. His name is Shimn. Weinberg, wh is a musician, engineer, and prfessr f musical technlgy, created it. He fund himself lsing the inspiratin f being creative, and he decided t create a rbt that culd inspire him with new musical ideas. Shimn was trained f everything frm rck t jazz t rap. His wrks really surprise human listeners.
Up until recent develpment, applicatins f AI (artificial intelligence) have mstly cnsisted f perfrming traditinal tasks, but many are cncerned that new technlgy like Shimn culd result in lst jbs fr millins f peple, even thse in creative industry.
While there is certain cncern that humans are replaced by rbts, a much mre likely future is ne in which rbts will wrk alngside humans t imprve their wrk. Experts say that AI will actually create jbs fr humans, nt destry them. The Guardian recently reprted that by 2037, AI will create mre than 7 millin new jbs in the healthcare, educatin, and science fields in the UK.
Shimn is shwing us what can happen when rbts dn't just wrk fr us, but with us. Instead f putting any f ur favrite musicians ut f wrk, rbts will certainly be challenging and inspiring them in psitive ways. The cperatin between humans and rbts can prduce new and attractive music, leading t new musical utcmes. Thanks t the innvatin f Weinberg and his team, music may begin t lk and act cnsiderably different. What can happen when rbts dn't just wrk fr us, but with us?
37. What can Shimn d?
38. Why did Gil Weinberg create Shimn?
39. Accrding t the passage, please decide which part f the fllwing statement is false, then underline it and explain why
AI can create many jbs fr humans, but it has a negative effect n the wrk f artists.
40. Explain hw AI technlgy can be used in yur daily life. (Abut 40 wrds)
