In 1906, he decided that his future lay in engineering, s he left t study in Paris. In 1907, he returned hme t cmplete his studies at the Mechanical Cllege f Kyiv Plytechnic Institute.
A year later n a trip t Germany with his father, he learned f the achievements f the Wright Brthers and Ferdinand vn Zeppelin’s airships. Sikrsky later said abut this: “Within twenty-fur hurs, I’d decided t pursue aviatin.”
Sikrsky then started his wrk n designing a helicpter. The first tw attempts failed in 1909 and 1910 s he stpped and turned t fixed-wing aircraft (飞行器). His first attempt, the S-l, als failed.

Sikrsky’s wrk cntributed greatly t the aviatin industry and he was recgnized as the father f helicpters because f his pineering designs. He fficially retired in 1957, but he cntinued t wrk as a cnsultant (顾问)until his death in 1972 at the age f 83.

Living dwnstream frm a waste-treatment plant can leave fish tired, a new study finds, led by Graham Sctt, a bilgist in Canada. “Wastewater treatment plants are pretty gd at taking ut the waste and treating it befre it gets int ur waterways,” he said. “But nt everything can be taken ut,” he added.
Fr example, sme plants beside the stream were nt designed t remve remains f drugs. S when sme medicines are left ver after peple use them, they can be released int the envirnment. These include the drugs used t treat depressin and high bld pressure.
Life-sustaining chemical reactins in an animal’s bdy (including urs) allw it t grw, mve and reprduce. These reactins, taken tgether, are knwn as the creature’s metablism (新陈代谢). Sme studies have shwn that even just ne drug can change the metablism f fish, making their metablism slw dwn. Then that will impair their bdies.
That creates a prblem fr the animals — using the extra energy t rid their bdies f the pllutants which can damage their cells and tissues. “That’s energy they burn just t stay alive,” explained Sctt. That is als the energy n lnger available t avid predatrs (天敌), t find fd and t mate.
And they reprt that fish expsed t a mix f chemicals can use up sme f their energy just t deal with thse pllutants. Therefre, they will have less energy t eat and avid being eaten, says Paul Craig, a bilgist in Ontari.
“It is up t us t help reduce the types f pllutants in. wastewater,” Craig says. “That includes nt thrwing leftver medicines dwn the tilet.” he recmmends.
32．What d Sctt’s wrds mean in paragraph 1?
A．There are still sme pllutants in the treated water.
B．Wastewater treatment plants dn’t wrk well.
C．Things in waterways are difficult t deal with.
D．Canadians tend t thrw waste dwn the tilet.
33．What des the underlined wrd “impair” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Frm.B．Harm.C．Benefit.D．Examine.
34．What will happen if fish are expsed t a mix f chemicals?
A．They will stp grwing.
B．They will avid their mates.
C．They will have t rid their bdies f the plluted cells.
D．They will cnsume extra energy t survive.
35．What is the authr’s purpse in writing the passage?
A．T explain hw pllutants affect animals.
B．T shw ways f fighting against pllutin.
C．T advise peple t stp buying plluted fish.
D．T urge peple t reduce pllutants in wastewater.

In 1906, he decided that his future lay in engineering, s he left t study in Paris. In 1907, he returned hme t cmplete his studies at the Mechanical Cllege f Kyiv Plytechnic Institute.
A year later n a trip t Germany with his father, he learned f the achievements f the Wright Brthers and Ferdinand vn Zeppelin’s airships. Sikrsky later said abut this: “Within twenty-fur hurs, I’d decided t pursue aviatin.”
Sikrsky then started his wrk n designing a helicpter. The first tw attempts failed in 1909 and 1910 s he stpped and turned t fixed-wing aircraft (飞行器). His first attempt, the S-l, als failed. But his secnd attempt, the S-2, was a success. He cntinued t develp his knwledge t imprve his airplane mdels. During this time，he als gt his pilt’s license(执照). His fifth plane, the S-5, wn him natinal attentin. His sixth plane, the S-6-A, wn him the highest award at the 1912 Mscw Aviatin Exhibitin. He built the first fur-engine plane in 1913.

Sikrsky finally cmpleted the VS-300 and pilted its first flight himself. It was the first successful helicpter f the United States and by 1940 served as the mdel fr all single-rtr (单旋翼)helicpters.
Sikrsky’s wrk cntributed greatly t the aviatin industry and he was recgnized as the father f helicpters because f his pineering designs. He fficially retired in 1957, but he cntinued t wrk as a cnsultant (顾问)until his death in 1972 at the age f 83.

Living dwnstream frm a waste-treatment plant can leave fish tired, a new study finds, led by Graham Sctt, a bilgist in Canada. “Wastewater treatment plants are pretty gd at taking ut the waste and treating it befre it gets int ur waterways,” he said. “But nt everything can be taken ut,” he added.
Fr example, sme plants beside the stream were nt designed t remve remains f drugs. S when sme medicines are left ver after peple use them, they can be released int the envirnment. These include the drugs used t treat depressin and high bld pressure.
Life-sustaining chemical reactins in an animal’s bdy (including urs) allw it t grw, mve and reprduce. These reactins, taken tgether, are knwn as the creature’s metablism (新陈代谢). Sme studies have shwn that even just ne drug can change the metablism f fish, making their metablism slw dwn. Then that will impair their bdies.
That creates a prblem fr the animals — using the extra energy t rid their bdies f the pllutants which can damage their cells and tissues. “That’s energy they burn just t stay alive,” explained Sctt. That is als the energy n lnger available t avid predatrs (天敌), t find fd and t mate.
And they reprt that fish expsed t a mix f chemicals can use up sme f their energy just t deal with thse pllutants. Therefre, they will have less energy t eat and avid being eaten, says Paul Craig, a bilgist in Ontari.
“It is up t us t help reduce the types f pllutants in. wastewater,” Craig says. “That includes nt thrwing leftver medicines dwn the tilet.” he recmmends.
32．What d Sctt’s wrds mean in paragraph 1?
A．There are still sme pllutants in the treated water.
B．Wastewater treatment plants dn’t wrk well.
C．Things in waterways are difficult t deal with.
D．Canadians tend t thrw waste dwn the tilet.
33．What des the underlined wrd “impair” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Frm.B．Harm.C．Benefit.D．Examine.
34．What will happen if fish are expsed t a mix f chemicals?
A．They will stp grwing.
B．They will avid their mates.
C．They will have t rid their bdies f the plluted cells.
D．They will cnsume extra energy t survive.
35．What is the authr’s purpse in writing the passage?
A．T explain hw pllutants affect animals.
B．T shw ways f fighting against pllutin.
C．T advise peple t stp buying plluted fish.
D．T urge peple t reduce pllutants in wastewater.
