My degree, with hnrs, in English literature had nt really prepared me fr anything practical. I knew I wanted t make a difference in the wrld smehw, but I had n idea hw t d that. That’s when I learned abut the Lighthuse Prject.

Eventually, hwever, I wn the supprt f my family, and I sent in all the paperwrk needed fr the applicatin. After cuntless interviews and presentatins, I managed t stand ut amng the candidates and survive the test alne. Several mnths later, I finally received a call asking me t reprt fr the duty. I wuld be ging t a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had n idea. But I was abut t find ut.
After cmpleting my training, I was sent t the village that was small and desperately in need f prper accmmdatin. Thugh the lcal villagers were pr, they ffered their hmes, hearts, and fd as if I were their wn family. I was asked t lead a small team f lcal peple in building a new schlhuse. Fr the next year r s, I taught in that same schlhuse. But I smetimes think I learned mre frm my students than they did frm me.
Smetime during that perid, I realized that all thse things that had seemed s strange r unusual t me n lnger did, thugh I did nt get anywhere with the lcal language, and returned t the United States a different man. The Lighthuse Prject had changed my life frever.

Styrfam, r plystyrene, is a light-weight material, abut 95 percent air, with very gd insulatin （隔热） prperties, accrding t Earthsurce.rg. It is used in prducts frm cups that keep yur drinks ht r cld t packaging material that prtects items during shipping.
With the abve gd features, Styrfam still enjys a bad reputatin. It cannt be recycled withut releasing dangerus pllutin int the air. The U.S. Envirnmental Prtectin Agency says it is the fifth-largest creatr f harmful waste.
But nw the cmmn wrms which are usually disgusting can cme t the rescue, specifically, mealwrms. Scientists frm the U.S. and China have discvered that mealwrms can digest plastic. One mealwrm can digest a pill-sized amunt f plastic a day. Study c-authr Wei-Min Wu says that in 24 hurs, the plastic is turned int carbn dixide.
Since Styrfam has n nutritin at all, are the wrms hurt by eating plastic? Much t the scientists’ surprise, the study fund that wrms eating Styrfam were as healthy as wrms eating bran （谷糠）.
The researchers will study the wrm’s eating habits and digesting system, lking t cpy the plastic breakdwn but n a larger scale. Once the way can be put int practice, it will make a revlutinary difference t the dispsal f plastic.
"Slving the issue f plastic pllutin is imprtant", says Wu, a Stanfrd University envirnmental engineering instructr. After all, ur earth is small and landfill space is becming limited with t much garbage waiting t be dealt with, he says.
Abut 33-millin tns f plastic are thrwn away in the United States every year. Plastic plates, cups and cntainers take up 25 percent t 30 percent f space in America’s landfills. One Styrfam cup takes mre than I millin years t recycle in a landfill, accrding t Cleveland State University.

A.It is harmful when recycled.
B.It is a weightless material.
C.It can be used t cl drinks.

12．What can we infer frm the third paragraph?
A.Mealwrms are nt bad in their nature.
B.Mealwrms can rescue peple’s lives.
C.Mealwrms have amazing digesting pwer.
D.Peple misunderstd mealwrms in the past.
13．Why will researchers study the wrm’s eating habits and digesting system?
A.T help develp their digesting ability.
B.T find ways t help mealwrms grw larger.
C.T make sure f their safety after eating plastic.
D.T imitate their way f breaking dwn plastic.
14．In the future, plastic may be recycled ________.
A.by raising amunts f mealwrms
B.withut sending ut dangerus pllutin
C.by envirnmental engineering instructrs
D.using a methd inspired by eating mealwrms

2．答案： D
解析： 根据Specific Benefits部分内容可知,物联网可以帮助人们进行预防性维护并节省资金、监控能源使用情况并及时观察价格变化、帮助人们调整习惯在电价低的时段使用电,并未提到调查事物,更新数据,所以D项说法错误,符合题意。
3．答案： B
解析： 根据Sme Fears部分中Other critics are dubtful that cmpanies making Internet-cnnected appliances will prvide lng-term sftware updates.可知,批评人士们还担心生产联网电器的公司是否会提供长期的软件更新。
4．答案： A
解析： 根据A Psitive Example部分中Early this year,wners f the Tesla Mdel S electric car received a recall ntice alerting them ta charger plug needing t be fixed.Amazingly,wners f the Mdel S sat back while the cmpany perfrmed an"ver the air"wireless update.可知,当特斯拉Mdel S电动汽车正在通过无线更新进行维护时,车主们只需要坐在车内等待。
5．答案： C
解析： 通读全文,尤其是第一段中In the past,we just had the Internet while nw we have the Internet f Things（IT）,which aims t get everything and everyne talking.及Netwrking cmpany Cisc estimates that 50 billin Internet-cnnected devicesand bjects will be sending ver data by 2025.可知,本文主要介绍了计算机科学的快速发展使人们用传感器将事物连接起来从而使它们能够"对话",由此可知C项适合作文章标题。

12．答案： C
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的"Scientists frm the U.S. and China have discvered that mealwrms can digest plastic. One mealwrm can digest a pill-sized amunt f plastic a day.（来自美国和中国的科学家发现,粉虫可以消化塑料。一只粉虫一天可以消化药丸大小的塑料。）""可知,中美研究者发现,粉虫能消化塑料,而且一只粉虫能一天消化药丸大小的塑料,由此可推断,粉虫有着惊人的消化能力。故选C。
13．答案： D
解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中的"The researchers will study the wrm’s eating habits and digesting system, lking t cpy the plastic breakdwn but n a larger scale.（研究人员将研究这种蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统,希望在更大的范围内复制塑料分解。）"可知,研究者研究蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统,指望着能更大范围地复制这种分解,由此可知,研究者研究蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统是为了模仿蠕虫分解塑料的方式。故选D。
14．答案： B
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段"With the abve gd features, Styrfam still enjys a bad reputatin. It cannt be recycled withut releasing dangerus pllutin int the air.（尽管有上述优点,聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料仍然享有坏名声。如果不向空气中释放危险的污染,就无法回收。）"可知,聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料有很多的优点,但是却在回收利用它时享有一个坏的名声,并结合倒数第三段中的"Once the way can be put int practice, it will make a revlutinary difference t the dispsal f plastic.（一旦这种方法被付诸实践,它将对塑料的处理产生革命性的影响。）"可知,一旦这种（蠕虫）分解塑料的方式被投入使用,会对塑料处理产生很大的影响,由此可推断,在未来,塑料可以在没有释放有害物质的情况下被回收利用了。故选B。
15．答案： B
解析： 主旨大意题。根据第二段"With the abve gd features, Styrfam still enjys a bad reputatin. It cannt be recycled withut releasing dangerus pllutin int the air. The U.S. Envirnmental Prtectin Agency says it is the fifth-largest creatr f harmful waste（尽管有上述优点,聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料仍然享有坏名声。如果不向空气中释放危险的污染,就无法回收。美国环境保护署表示,它是有害废物的第五大制造者。）"可知,聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料尽管有很多的优点,但是在对其回收再利用时会产生污染,根据第三段中的"But nw the cmmn wrms which are usually disgusting can cme t the rescue, specifically, mealwrms.（但现在,那些通常令人作呕的普通蠕虫可以来拯救我们了,特别是粉虫。）"可知,研究者发现一种粉虫却能解决这一问题,结合下文中经过对粉虫的饮食习惯和消化系统的研究分析,希望能大范围地复制这种粉虫分解塑料的方式以便最终解决塑料回收时对环境造成的污染,由此可知,本文主要讲述的是塑料的回收利用不再是问题。故选B。

58．答案： D
解析： 该题考查动词辨析,需要选择一个合适的动词来表达"在没有考虑的情况下就直接驳回一个想法"。选项中,只有dismiss 表示"驳回,解散",符合句意。retreat 表示"撤退",submit 表示"提交",suspend 表示"暂停",都不符合句意。因此,正确答案为D。

Specific BenefitsThe IT will allw peple t track things and prcesses like never befre. Airplane manufacturers will be able t cntinuusly track the cnditin f airplane parts, allwing them t d preventive maintenance and avid cstly dwntime. Cnsumers culd install smart meters in their hmes t mnitr energy usage and bserve energy price changes in real time. That wuld allw peple t adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lwer-priced hurs.
Sme FearsSme critics fear that the IT culd end up being a fashin that peple lse interest in ver time. Having Twitter feeds n refrigeratr drs may sund cl at first, but the attractin culd fade as quickly as the excitement ver last year’s smartphne! Other critics are dubtful that cmpanies making Internet-cnnected appliances will prvide lng-term sftware updates. If that happens, a refrigeratr r washing machine that shuld last 10 years r mre culd last tw r three due t the sftware that’s utdated.
A Psitive ExampleEarly this year, wners f the Tesla Mdel S electric car received a recall ntice alerting them t a charger plug needing t be fixed. Amazingly, wners f the Mdel S sat back while the cmpany perfrmed an “ver the air” wireless update. Custmers cnfirmed the update by tapping n the car’s tuchscreen cnsle t see that the Mdel S was running the latest sftware versin. N trip t the dealer was required!
Perhaps Tesla’s remte fix is a sign f things t cme. Smeday sn, peple’s lives might becme a lt mre efficient and cnvenient thanks t the IT.
