16.You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference?Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products. At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse," a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash.Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups,the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam. Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(來源)of plastic pollution,but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear. In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(說明)a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work,titled "Truckload of Plastic," Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped(傾倒) from a truck all at once. Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
(1)What are Von Wong's artworks intended for?
A.Beautifying the city he lives in. B.Introducing eco-friendly products. C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D.Reducing garbage on the beach. (2)Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?
A.To show the difficulty of their recycling. B.To explain why they are useful. C.To voice his views on modern art. D.To find a substitute for them. (3)What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers?
A.Calming. B.Disturbing. C.Refreshing. D.Challenging. (4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety B.Media Interest in Contemporary Art C.Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies D.Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
17. If humans do want to set up communities on the moon or other planets,what will they eat?A new test has begun to see if meat cells can grow. Growing meat from cells even on Earth isn't easy.Cells from a cow(though it could be any animal)are fed the things they need to grow,like amino acids and carbohydrate.The cells multiply until muscle tissue forms,and eventually becomes meat that you can eat.This process is called "cultivation(培養)".The meat is grown in tanks that look more like what you'd find in a brewery than a farm yard.The life-cycle of an animal raised for meat—birth,life and kill—is completely ignored. "Animal cells grow slowly," says David Humbird,a chemical engineer. "If bacteria were to get into the cultivation,it would grow much faster from animal cells and it will just take over so you aren't making the animal cells anymore.You are making bacteria.And you have to throw it away," says Mr Humbird. "Those cells that are themselves grown on eatable material are going to be sugar,amino acids and water.And the caloric value of the cells that you make will always be less than thjye.ai.At the best case you could probably recover 25% of the calorie and eat them as food.So the question is,why would you drag all those calorie into space just to waste 75% of them?" Karen Nyberg is a former astronaut.She says food plays a crucial role in space missions. "Food like powdered milk and that sort of thing comes as a regular source for astronauts,and meat produced in space is just something we don't have.So anything like that makes us feel great and eases our pressure." For Ms Nyberg,fresh food and vegetables are vital if humans are expected to be away from Earth for years at a time. Certainly if humanity is serious about putting people on Mars,how to feed astronauts with nutrient-rich food that doesn't spoil—and tastes good — is an important and difficult mystery.
(1)What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The taste of lab-grown meat. B.The reasons for growing meat in space. C.The potential benefits of growing meat. D.The process of growing meat from cow cells. (2)What is David Hum bird's attitude toward growing meat in space?
A.Optimistic. B.Supportive. C.Disapproving. D.Indifferent. (3)What can we infer from what Karen said?
A.Eating is always a problem for astronauts. B.Food tastes much better in space than on Earth. C.Growing meat does good to astronauts' mental health. D.Astronauts suffer from mental illnesses after long space tasks. (4)Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Can meat be grown in space B.Can astronauts enjoy meat in space C.Can meat in space be delicious to eat D.Can lab-grown meat help tackle climate

19.Open an app,place your order,and wait for your food to be delivered to your home—this is how many people eat in China these days.According to the latest data from the China Internet Network Information Center,about 420 million Chinese people use online food delivery (遞送) services.That's equal to half of the total number of Internet users in China. A recent report that was published by Meituan,a food delivery service,showed that 86.3 percent of the service's users are between 20 and 34 years old.These people,who are more likely to live in small families,are the major force driving the development of the food delivery industry.For those families,cooking is relatively more time-and resource-consuming (耗時耗材),so ordering food online has become more popular. The improvement of China's food delivery services has also attracted more customers.According to Meituan's report,the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2019.Many delivery platforms (平臺) are also offering more services,delivering products such as fruit,vegetables,medicine and flowers.As its services continue to improve,it's likely that the food delivery industry will keep growing.

20.Seven ways to find out what you really want in lifeBe good to yourself You can't pinpoint (準確指出) exactly what you want in life if you're constantly sacrificing(犧牲)your time and dreams for other people.(1)
Ask yourself:if you weren't tied down by your job,family,friends,or anything else,then what would you be doing right now? Regret nothing To be good to yourself is not selfish.It's your life.It's time for you to live it exactly the way you want to.If you constantly regret things you did or didn't do in the past,then you won't be able to move forward.(2)
Figure out what you need Sometimes it's hard to figure out what you need.Sit down and think about what you need most.The freedom to express yourself?Love?Financial security?Something else?If it helps,you can make a list.Also think about the kind of legacy (遺產) you want to leave behind. (3)
You can fly only by pushing back against something you don't want.Figure out what upsets you,and be specific about it.Don't just say that you hate your office job.Pinpoint exactly why you hate it.Could it be your strict boss?Your workload?Your meaningless job title?Or all of the above? Determine what makes you truly happy There's no life to waste if you're happy with living it.Think about what makes you happy.Being around children?Is it traveling?Owning a successful business?Financial freedom?(4)
Let people around you know what you're trying to achieve.Don't keep your goals and desires to yourself.Voice it all out!If you tell people what you're trying to accomplish,they will most likely support you and give you new ideas.Sometimes mother does know best! Stay positive Life doesn't always go how you want it.Don't feel discouraged as your plans stray (偏離).Take control.Instead of being anxious,try your best to advance with the changes.You will get there someday.(5)
You're just taking a little detour (繞道).
A.Don't live in the past but live in the present! B.Sometimes a positive attitude is all you need to keep going. C.Determine what really bothers you D.Once you pinpoint the one thing that makes you happy the most,you'll have a pretty clear idea of what you should struggle for in your life. E.You have to put yourself first,because if you don't,then no one else will. F.Determine what you are going to do next G.You should think of things carefully.
