A start- up based in England has wn ne f the wrld’s mst significant awards fr imprving the health f the ceans, thanks t its pineering wrk n a grundbreaking slutin t catching and recycling micrfibres（微纤维） filtered ut frm washing machines.
Cmpeting against 200 businesses frm 54 cuntries, the British green- tech business Cleaner Seas Grup（CSG） succeeded in winning the internatinal Ocean Impact Pitchfest Award in Australia in Nvember 2023 with its IndiTM hme micrfibre filter.
Since it was launched, CSG’s IndiTM hme micrfibre filter has been making significant waves. Dave Miller, CEO f CSG, said, “It has been a fantastic year fr us. We are at a hugely exciting grwth stage. Increased awareness f the need fr micrplastic reductin presents a huge pprtunity fr us t make a difference.”
Dave Miller adds, “Everyne in the cmpany has a persnal cnnectin t the cean. We are surfers and wild swimmers and we feel enthusiastic abut keeping the ceans free f micrplastics. Our filter technlgy has the ptential t significantly reduce micrfibre pllutin, helping t reduce the micrplastic in the water we drink, the fd we eat and the air we breathe.”
James Sirmn, technical directr f CSG, explained, “Our filter cartridge（盒子） cntains a rll f micrfibre- cllecting filter paper. The in- built sensr technlgy detects when each sectin f the filter paper is full. A warning light system indicates when the cartridge r batteries need replacing r when a filter unit desn’t wrk. We have designed the prduct t fit all washing machines wrldwide, s it is a glbal slutin fr a glbal prblem.”
Tim Silverwd, c- funder at Ocean Impact Organisatin said: “The team at CSG shuld be enrmusly prud f this achievement. We lk frward t seeing their future impact acrss the glbe. The future lks bright fr CSG!”
28．What can be learned abut CSG?
A．It is based in Australia.B．It is a recycling center.
C．It has branches in 54 cuntries.D．It is a newly- funded cmpany.
29．The underlined wrds in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.
A．fllwing the trend.B．breaking new grund.
C．playing it in safety.D．Causing great trubles.
30．Why des Dave Miller mentin his wrkmates in paragraph 4?
A．T explain hw they put lts f effrt int the filter.
B．T prve they have great ptential t d big things.
C．T stress everyne is inseparable frm the cean.
D．T shw they’ re enthusiastic abut their cmpany.
31．Hw des the micrfibre filter wrk accrding t James Sirmn?

C．It has a rll f tilet paper inside.D．It is designed fr certain machines.

Decades’ wrth f research links physical activity with psitive changes in the brain. In children, fr example, physical activity is assciated with better cgnitive（认知的） perfrmance. Studies n lder adults shw that regular exercise reduces the risk f develping Alzheimer’s （阿尔茨海默病）. And imaging studies cnfirm that the vlume f the hippcampus—a brain regin assciated with memry and mental mapping— is larger in individuals wh are mre physically active cmpared t thse wh spend a lt f time sitting dwn.
Arund 2002, scientists began t realize mving muscles prduced mlecules（分子） that get released int the bldstream and prvide benefits t faraway rgans. In 2012 Bruce Spiegelman, a cell bilgist, and his wrkmates discvered irisin, a new type f mlecule released by exercised muscles. When muscle cells prduce irisin, it increases levels f anther prtein called brain- derived neurtrphic factr（BDNF） in the hippcampus.
Just last year Wrann, a neurscientist at Massachusetts General Hspital, tested irisin’s rle in exercise and cgnitive functin. Her team cmpared mice wh were genetically engineered t lack iris in with mice wh culd still prduce the mlecule. After exercise, the nrmal mice perfrmed better n a task that relied n cgnitive skills. The mice lacking irisin didn’t shw this same imprvement.
When Wrann’s team examined the mice’s brains, they saw that bth grups f mice prduced neurns（神经元） in respnse t exercise. When the gene t prduce irisin was returned t the brains f mice lacking the prtein, the mice als perfrmed better n the same task.
Irisin has an identical mlecular structure in mice and humans, Wrann says, which suggests that it serves similar functins in bth species, and s the findings may have practical applicatins in medicine. Frm the perspective f drug develpment, “irisin certainly is prmising, especially given the data abut its effect in human brain.” says Christph Handschin, a muscle researcher and prfessr f pharmclgy（药理学）.
32．What d the findings in paragraph 1 shw?
A．Exercise has great benefits t ur brain.B．The brain is changing all thrugh ur life.
C．Physical activity is key t fighting Alzheimer’s.D．The hippcampus has little t d with cgnitin.
33．What can we learn abut irisin frm paragraph 2?
A．It gverns human exercise.B．It is a special type f BDNF.
C．It increases the vlume f BDNF.D．It is mainly prduced by the brain.
34．What has Wrann’s team cncluded frm their experiment?
A．Irisin prmtes cgnitive ability.B．Certain genes are in charge f irisin.
C．Neurns are nly prduced in exercise.D．Sme mice are unable t prduce irisin.
35．Which statement might bth Wrann and Handschin agree with?
A．It seems risky t use irisin t treat human patients.
B．It is pssible t discver mre functins fr irisin.
C．Irisin fund in mice and humans differs enrmusly.
D．Irisin may be used t imprve human brain functin.

One pssible versin:
I lay awake fr a lng time that night. Snwball snuggle d at my feet, sftly snring, while my mind was anything but settled. Alice’s smiling face and the deep lneliness in her eyes kept replaying in my head. Althugh I really didn’t want t g back t that place with the nise f her breathing machine weighing me dwn, a sense f respnsibility and sympathy fr Alice weighed heavier. I recalled hw gently Alice had petted Snwball, her sft humming still eching in my ears. Seeing the tears rll dwn her cheeks made me realize hw painful her past lsses must have been. I decided t visit her again.
The next mrning I tied Snwball t her leash and tk a turn int the lane where Alice lived. As we apprached Alice’s huse, my heart started t race. I was still afraid t hear the unsettling sund f her breathing machine. But when I saw Alice sitting in her small yard, my heart sftened. Alice’s eyes shne with tears as she gently petted Snwball. “Thank yu, Jamie,” Alice said sftly, her vice filled with gratitude. “Yu’ve made my mrning s special.” I suddenly realized that smetimes giving a bit f time and care culd bring great happiness t smene else.
读后续写评分标准
一、原文故事回顾：
在我12岁的时候妈妈送了我一只小狗Snwball作为生日礼物，我很高兴。有一天我带她在一条安静的小路上散步时遇到了一位叫Alice的老太太。老太太表现得非常友好，虽然坐在轮椅上带着呼吸器让我有点害怕，我还是留下来和她聊天。过程中老太太表现得非常喜欢Snwball，且因为想起了自己养过的狗而流泪。最后老太太Alice邀请我们经常来玩，但是因为害怕他的呼吸器，我内心是抗拒的。
二、教育导向：
人与社会、动物、爱
三、第一段续写要点：
续写首段首句：重点应该放在描写我为什么失眠—内心在纠结到底去不去看Alice。这时应该回想到Alice对 Snwball的喜爱，以及Alice流泪的场景，以及结合第二段首句，作者最终还是动了恻隐之心，决定去看望老太太。
四、第二段续写要点：
续写第二段首句：这段应该重点描写Alice看到我们后的激动反应以及我看到Alice反应后的感想，突出主题：给予能使人内心更加幸福温暖。
