27.Lagos,a big city in Nigeria,has a population of 20 million,and they can produce between 13,000 and 15,000 tonnes of waste every day including 2,250 tonnes of plastic. Despite a lot of cleaning,Lagos has no proper system to dispose of rubbish,and not having public awareness of pollution brings a huge environmental challenge.Litter gets washed away by the rains and waterways and ends up in mountains of rubbish on the beaches.Light- house Beach is one of the beaches.It stretches for about 100 kilometers along the Atlantic,all the way to neighboring Benin.Lined with palm trees,the beach could be beautiful if it weren't for all the pollution. "It is time that we should raise awareness of keeping the environment clean and clean up all the plastic," says Chioma Chukwura,who helped pick up rubbish on Lighthouse Beach.At the end of a tiring day,230 large bin bags were put together on the hot sand,filled with dirty plastic. "Although the job is challenging,a company will come and pick them up tomorrow.All the plastic here will get reused.Sold for 500 atonne,theplasticcouldbring250 million to Lagos each year,and a cleaner environment could promote the development of the city," says Owoade Yussuf,organiser of the cleanup. As the volunteers leave at the end of the day,always just 100 meters is clean. "There is still a lot to do.Maybe we need two months,continuously,to get this cleaned up," says another volunteer. "We have to find a way to prevent the plastic from coming back.After we've finished,I'm sure we may still see litter here when we come back." On Lighthouse Beach,the problem isn't just plastic.Destroyed ships also pollute the beach.With that kind of pollution,even an army of volunteers may struggle.However,with more help,they can still make a difference.

28.Tea time is the first thing in the morning at Buckingham Palace!Even queens need a morning pick-me-up,and Queen Elizabeth II is no exception to having an early morning necessity.The Queen eats breakfast every day at 8:30 a m.jye.ai her husband,Prince Philip.But she doesn't arrive on an empty stomach.In fact,Elizabeth treats herself with something before her morning bath every morning at 7:30.

This sounds like the perfect start to any day,to us!And we're glad that the United Kingdom's longest-serving ruler is taking a little bit of time for herself.Can't you get enough other foods Queen Elizabeth II eats regularly.Ordinary people usually worship the members of the royal family and take great interest in their way of life.

29.They're orange,they're robots and they're capable of sailing the high seas without human intervention. On Tuesday the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)launched a pair of Saildrones(海洋無人機)in Pacific Northwest waters for the first time.Their summer long sailing journey will stretch from Vancouver Island to California.The Saildrone operators will collect data to help set future fishing seasons.The government wants to see whether seagoing robots can extend fishery surveys now performed by expensive manned ships. Nora Cohen from NOAA said,"The 23 foot long seagoing robots can follow a remotely programmed course for up to a year at a time.And they don't require any fuel.We use wind and solar power to drive the sensors."He added,"It means that we're able to go to places where we don't really want to send people,and go into weather that we really don't want anyone ever to be in,and be able to send measurements back." The primary mission is to investigate the species and the number of fish in existence and the places where they are.Larry Hufnagle,scientist of NOAA Fisheries in Seattle,said a traditional big NOAA research ship-based survey costs around ﹩25,000 per day.By comparison,one Saildrone costs ﹩2,500 per day. "It could be a significant saving," Hufnagle said."But like anything else,there is a tradeoff in what you get and what you don't get.On the manned ship,we have limited time.It takes a lot of people.We spend a fair amount of money.But there is one thing the Saildrone can't do that humans can:cast a net to catch and positively identify the fish detected below.The Saildrones are going to give us additional data,not replacement data." Nora Cohen said Saildrone,a venture capital backed company based in Alameda,California,expects to launch a total of 11 of its seagoing robots to survey different waterbodies for NOAA this year.The Bering and Arctic seas,Coastal California and the Gulf of Mexico will be the locations of additional missions.
(1)What is the purpose of collecting fish data?
A.To explore the ocean. B.To assist fishing industry. C.To learn the habits of fish. D.To improve fishing skills. (2)What is mainly discussed about the Saildrone in paragraph 3?
A.Its advantages. B.Its appearance. C.Its power systems. D.Its primary mission. (3)What does the underlined word "tradeoff" in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Debate. B.Reason. C.Reality. D.Balance. (4)What can be inferred from the text?
A.The Saildrone has a promising future. B.Hufnagle thinks little of the Saildrone. C.Manned ships will be completely replaced. D.Production of seagoing robots is restricted.
30.Give yourself a test.Which way is the wind blowing?How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door?If your awareness is as sharp as it could be,you'll have no trouble answering these questions. Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults.A child's day is filled with fascination,newness and wonder.(1)
But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear;we are numb to new stimulation (刺激),new ideas.Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple,although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. (2)
One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students,I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream.The students began complaining about how cold it would be.We reached the stream,and they unwillingly walked ahead.They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring.Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first. (3)
I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird,immediately looked it up in field guides,and said,a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off.They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness.I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark.(4)
They never take a moment to see what's around them.I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh,a few birds," they said.They seemed bent on their destinations. (5)
Next time you take a walk,no matter where it is,take in all the sights,sounds and sensations.Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
A.This blocks awareness. B.They don't know what awareness is. C.Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. D.It seldom occurred to them to wander a little bit. E.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. F.Being sharp doesn't mean we have to stay alert all the time,though. G.Another block to awareness is the obsession many of us have with naming things.
