not a joke.Scientists in Brazil have developed a new way to use fibers from fruit plants to reinforce car plastics.‎ By using fibers from seemingly delicate fruits such as bananas and pineapples，the scientists claim that they can strengthen new plastics，making them not only stronger and lighter，but more sustainable(可持续的)as well.‎ ‎“They(the new plastics)are light，but very strong—30 percent lighter and three to four times stronger than old plastics，”research leader Alcides Leao from Sao Paulo State University in Brazil told the American Chemical Society.Some of the fibers can be as strong as Kevlar，a superstrong material used to make bulletproof vests.Besides，the plastics are also more resistant 7‎ ‎ to damage from heat，water，oxygen and even spilled gasoline.‎ Cellulose(纤维素)is the main component(成分)of wood and has been used for centuries to make paper.Recently scientists have discovered that intensive(密集的)processing of wood releases tiny or nanocellulose fibers，so tiny that 50,000 could fit across the width of a single human hair.When mixed with other raw materials，these nanocellulose fibers can make plastics stronger.‎ According to Leao，pineapple leaves and stems(茎)，and a plant related to the pineapple in South America，called curaua，rather than wood may be the most promising source for nanocellulose.To create the plastics，researchers put the leaves and stems of pineapples and other plants into a device similar to a pressure cooker.Then they added certain chemicals and heated the mixture over several cycles，producing a powder that was then added to the plastics.‎ The process is costly，but it takes just 1 pound of nanocellulose to produce 100 pounds of superstrong，lightweight plastics，Leao pointed out.‎ Some car makers have already tested these nanocellulose plastics and scientists have predicted the plastics would be in use within two years，mainly for bodies for cars.‎ ‎【解题导语】 本文是一篇有关科普产品的介绍。作者介绍了一种新型的超强、轻型塑料产品的优势以及对此产品的展望。‎ ‎16．The underlined word “reinforce”in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to“________”．‎ A．take the place of B．make something stronger C．increase the percentage of D．get rid of 答案　B　[词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“strengthen new plastics，making them not only stronger”可知reinforce的意思相当于strengthen，故B项是最佳答案。]‎ ‎17．Which of the following statements about the nanosized fruit fiber is TRUE?‎ A．It is used to make bulletproof vests.‎ B．It is used to replace steel and aluminum automotive parts.‎ C．It can resist damage from heat，water or oxygen.‎ D．Leao thinks it is better than nanocellulose from wood.‎ 答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第三段可知用作防弹背心的是另外一种材料Kevlar，故排除A项。B项在文章中没提到。C项不是说“nanosized fruit fiber”的，而是说用它们制成的新塑料的特征的。根据第五段中的“...rather than wood may be the most promising source for nanocellulose”可判断出D项正确。]‎ ‎18．According to the article，which of the following is the correct order that researchers produced 7‎ ‎ superstrong，lightweight plastics?‎ a．put pineapple leaves and stems into a device similar to a pressure cooker b．a powder is formed c．add some powders to the plastics d．add certain chemicals and heat the mixture over several cycles A．b，c，a，d B．a，b，c，d C．b，a，c，d D．a，d，b，c 答案　D　[细节理解题。第五段介绍了制造这种塑料的加工过程。首先把菠萝的叶子和茎及一种和菠萝相关的植物放入像压力锅一样的设备中，然后放入化学原料，加热几次，形成能被填入塑料中的粉状物。由此可知D项是最佳答案。]‎ ‎19．We can conclude from the article that nanocellulose________.‎ A．costs too much to produce B．is the best if produced from wood C．is about the width of a single human hair D．is currently being tested to build bodies for cars 答案　D　[细节理解题。第六段介绍1磅的nanocellulose就能生产100磅的这种塑料，由此可知A项错误。第五段第一句话告诉我们来自于木头中的nanocellulose并不是最好的原材料，故B项错误。根据第四段中的“...so tiny that 50,000 could fit across the width of a single human hair...”可知C项错误。根据最后一段可判断出D项正确。]‎ ‎20．The writer holds ________ attitude toward the new plastics.‎ A．positive B．negative C．indifferent D．objective 答案　A　[态度推断题。第一段中作者以问句开头，引出了他想介绍的新产品，再根据第一段中的“It's not a joke.”可知作者相信这种产品的可靠性，从最后一段我们也可看出作者对这种产品持肯定态度。]‎ Ⅲ.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)‎ ‎[1]Queuing, warm beer and afternoon tea—what do they have in common? They are all part of British life, or so I thought. However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a typical traditional characteristic of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done by the Payments Council. It would seem they are no longer prepared to wait in line.‎ ‎[2]Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During the Second World War, everyone had to queue up to receive their daily ration(配给)of foods. In fact, if you didn't stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was________uncivilized (不文明)．The famous English doubledecker buses, with only one entrance, might also help explain why queuing was seen as a part of life. Almost always, there is a queue to get on.‎ 7‎ ‎[3]But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have more than one entrance to their buses, which could explain their more relaxed attitude to the queue.‎ ‎[4]Two minutes is now the longest time most British are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people are no longer prepared to queue? As the Internet has become more popular among shoppers, impatience with queuing has increased.‎ ‎[5]“Used to buying without delay, customers are even abandoning purchases rather than wait their turn，”says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard.“Shoppers_are_also_less_likely_to_queue_for_longer_if_the_item_they_are_buying_is_of_low_value.”Perhaps I will have to replace“queuing”with“impatience”in my list of things I associate with the British.‎ ‎21．What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案　British people are no longer prepared to queue/Britain can't wait any more.‎ ‎22．Which of the fol1owing can be replaced by the following one?‎ In the past queuing was thought to be a traditional feature of the British, but now they can't stand it any more.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案　However，the ability to queue for long periods of time，once believed to be a traditional characteristic of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK.‎ ‎23．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper phrases.(no more than 4 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案　seen as/viewed as/considered(to be)‎ ‎24．Why do British people tend not to queue any longer? (no more than l5 words)‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案　Maybe because the Internet allows them to carry out tasks quickly.‎ ‎25．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案　如果购物者买的东西价值低的话，他们也不会排很长的队。‎ 写作素材集锦 单词 ‎1．delicate柔软的，精致的 ‎2．strengthen加强 短语 7‎ be resistant to可以抵抗……‎ 句子 When mixed with other raw materials，these nanocellulose fibers can make plastics stronger.‎ 这些纳米纤维素与其他的原材料混合时，可以使塑料更加坚固。 ‎ 7‎
