Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial slutin t tw f her cuntry’s prblems: garbage and pverty (贫穷). It’s called the Chip Bag Prject. The 26-year-ld student and envirnmentalist frm Detrit is asking a favr f lcal snack lvers: Rather than thrw yur empty chip bags int the bin, dnate them s she can turn them int sleeping bags fr the hmeless.
Chip waters drp ff their empty bags frm Drits. Lays. and ther favrites at tw lcatins in Detrit: a print shp and a clthing stre, where Oleita and her vlunteer helpers cllect them. After they clean the chip bags in sapy ht water, they slice them pen, lay them flat, and irn them tgether. They use padding (衬垫) and liners (衬里) frm ld cats t line the insides.
It takes abut fur hurs t sew a sleeping bag and each takes arund 150 t 300 chip bags depending n whether they’re single-serve r family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterprf lightweight and easy t carry arund”. Oleita tld the Detrit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Prject has cllected mre than 800,000 chip bags and, as f last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it wuld be simpler t raise the mney t buy new sleeping bags. But that’s nly half the gal fr Oleita — whse family mved t the United States frm Nigeria a decade ag with the hpe f attaining a better life — and her fellw vlunteers. “We are devted t making an impact nt nly scially, but envirnmentally,” she says.
And, f curse, there’s the symblism f rescuing bags that wuld therwise land in the trash and using them t help the hmeless. It’s a pwerful reminder that envirnmental prblem and pverty ften g hand in hand. As Oleita tld hurdetrit.cm, “I think it’s time t shw cnnectins between all f these issues.”
24. What did Oleita ask the snack lvers t d with their empty chip bags?
A. T turn them int sleeping bags.B. T give them away t her.
C. T thrw them int the bin.D. T dnate them t the hmeless directly.
25. What d we knw abut the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Prject?
A. Its size is adjustable. B. It is nly made f ld cats.
C. It has the functin f heatingD. It is prtable.
26. Which wrds can best describe Oleita?
A. Hardwrking and lyal.B. Talented and scial.
C. Respnsible and creative.D. Selfless and mdest.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The 26-year-ld student and envirnmentalist frm Detrit is asking a favr f lcal snack lvers: Rather than thrw yur empty chip bags int the bin, dnate them s she can turn them int sleeping bags fr the hmeless.(这位来自底特律的26岁学生和环保主义者请求当地小吃爱好者的帮助:与其把你的空薯片袋扔进垃圾桶,不如把它们捐出来,这样她就可以把它们变成无家可归者的睡袋)”可知,Oleita让零食爱好者把空薯片袋捐赠给她。故选B。

One billin peple in the wrld are shrt f water. Hw can this prblem be slved? Sme suggestins have been t desalinate cean water r t build enrmus water pipelines frm areas where water is abundant. (Suggestins such as these prve extremely expensive when they are actually used.) One pssibility that scientists are cnsidering is pulling icebergs(冰山) frm either the Nrth Ple r the Suth Ple t parts f the wrld with a water shrtage. Althugh many questins must be answered befre such a prject culd be tried, mving icebergs seems a reasnable pssibility in the future.
Engineers, mathematicians, and glacilgists frm a dzen cuntries have been cnsidering the iceberg as a future surce f water. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this prject because it has a great water shrtage. Scientists estimate that it wuld take 128 days t transprt a large iceberg(abut 1/2 square mile) t Saudi Arabia. Yet the iceberg wuld be cmpletely melted by the 104th day. Therefre, insulatin wuld be essential, but hw t insulate the iceberg remains an unslved prblem.
The prblems in transprting an iceberg are numerus. The first prblem is chsing the iceberg t pull. The icebergs that frm in the Nrth Ple are quite difficult t handle because f their shape. Only a small prtin extends abve the water—mst f the iceberg is belw the surface, which wuld make it difficult t pull. Suth Ple icebergs, n the ther hand, are flat and flat like table tps. Thus they wuld be much easier t mve.
Hw can a 200-millin-tn iceberg be mved? N ship is strng enugh t pull such enrmus weight thrugh the water. Perhaps several ships culd be used. Attaching rpes t an iceberg this size is als an enrmus prblem. Engineers think that large nails r lng metal rds culd be driven int the ice. What wuld happen if the iceberg splits int several pieces during the pulling? Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chsen, hw culd it be pulled thrugh strmy waters? Furthermre, nce the iceberg reached its destinatin, very few prts wuld be deep enugh t stre it.
All f these prblems must be slved befre icebergs can becme a reasnable surce f water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be pssible t transprt them in the near future. Each year, enugh icebergs frm t supply the whle wrld with fresh water fr a full year. In additin, icebergs are free and nnplluting. As a slutin t the wrld’s water prblems, icebergs may be a wrkable pssibility.
27. What is a prblem in transprting the iceberg?
A. The size f the iceberg.B. The clur f the iceberg.
C. The salt in the iceberg.D. The mvement f air and water.
28. What is the authr’ s attitude twards transprting icebergs?
A. Negative.B. Unrealistic.
C. Optimistic.D. Uncncerned.
29. What des the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. It is hard t use icebergs.
B. Icebergs are a gd chice.
C. There are prblems with icebergs.
D. Man finds n ther ways t slve water shrtage.
30 What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Icebergs fr WaterB. Shrtage f Water
C. Scientists and IcebergsD. Icebergs—Scientists’ Headache
【答案】27. A 28. C 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家们对运输冰山作为解决淡水资源缺乏问题提出的假设以及可能性,并且认为解决了一系列的问题之后,这一办法是可行的。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Hw can a 200-millin-tn iceberg be mved? N ship is strng enugh t pull such enrmus weight thrugh the water. Perhaps several ships culd be used. Attaching rpes t an iceberg this size is als an enrmus prblem. (2亿吨的冰山怎么移动?没有一艘船能够在水中拖动如此巨大的重量。也许可以用几艘船。把绳子系在这么大的冰山上也是个大问题。)”可知,运输冰山的过程中由于冰山体积过大,运输将有难度,这将是运输过程中存在的一个问题,故选A。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Althugh many questins must be answered befre such a prject culd be tried, mving icebergs seems a reasnable pssibility in the future.(尽管在尝试这样的项目之前必须回答许多问题,但移动冰山在未来似乎是一种合理的可能性。)”和最后一段中“As a slutin t the wrld’s water prblems, icebergs may be a wrkable pssibility.(作为世界水资源问题的解决方案,冰山也许是一种可行的可能性。)”可推知,作者认为作为解决世界用水问题的办法——移动冰山是合理的可能的解决办法,即作者对此方法持乐观积极的态度,故选C。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All f these prblems must be slved befre icebergs can becme a reasnable surce f water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be pssible t transprt them in the near future. Each year, enugh icebergs frm t supply the whle wrld with fresh water fr a full year. In additin, icebergs are free and nnplluting. As a slutin t the wrld’s water prblems, icebergs may be a wrkable pssibility.(在冰山成为合理的水源之前,所有这些问题都必须得到解决。然而,科学家们估计,在不久的将来将有可能运输它们。每年形成的冰山足以为全世界提供一整年的淡水。此外,冰山是自由和无污染的。作为世界水资源问题的解决方案,冰山也许是一种可行的可能性。)”可知,Yet后面的内容是重点,即该段告诉我们用冰山解决世界上淡水问题是个不错的选择。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Althugh many questins must be answered befre such a prject culd be tried, mving icebergs seems a reasnable pssibility in the future.(尽管在尝试这样的项目之前必须回答许多问题,但移动冰山在未来似乎是一种合理的可能性。)”和最后一段中“Yet scientists estimate that it will be pssible t transprt them in the near future. Each year, enugh icebergs frm t supply the whle wrld with fresh water fr a full year. In additin, icebergs are free and nnplluting. As a slutin t the wrld’s water prblems, icebergs may be a wrkable pssibility.(然而,科学家们估计,在不久的将来将有可能运输它们。每年形成的冰山足以为全世界提供一整年的淡水。此外,冰山是自由和无污染的。作为世界水资源问题的解决方案,冰山也许是一种可行的可能性。)”可知,文章主要讲述了科学家们对运输冰山作为解决淡水资源缺乏问题提出的假设以及可能性,并且认为解决了一系列的问题之后,这一办法是可行的。A项“用冰山上的水”适合作文章标题,故选A。
