26、   Israeli and Russian astronaut scientists grew the small piece of beef from cells while going aboard the International Space Station, 400 km above the Earth's surface. Cells from cattle were harvested on our planet and brought to the space station where they were grown into meat using a special 3D printer.

The experiment was run on September 26 within the Russian part of the space station and organized by Aleph Farms, a beef company on Earth.

Researchers said the project was aimed to show how lab-grown meat can be cultivated （培养）in hard conditions with minimal equipment. The technique they developed could be used to provide astronauts with hamburgers in the future.

“We are proving that cultivated meat can be produced anytime, anywhere and in any conditions said Aleph Farms' boss Didier Toubia. “We can provide a powerful solution to produce the food closer to the population's needs, at the exact and right time it is needed.

To grow the meat, scientists copied the natural process of muscle cells' regeneration occurring inside the body of cattle. It required the use of a 3D bioprinter, which sticks live cells together to create something looking like real meat.

Lab-grown meat looks and tastes like the real thing, but it is produced without the need for lots of water, feed or land for animals and without the need to kill them.

“In space, we don't have 10, 000 or 15, 000 liters of water to produce I kg of beef," Mr Toubia said. “This joint experiment marks an important step toward realizing our dream of making food safe for generations to come, while protecting our natural resources.

【1】What is the purpose of the project of growing beef in space?

A.To invent a 3D printer.

B.To show hard conditions in space.

C.To grow more plants in space.

D.To cultivate lab-grown meat for astronauts.

【2】What makes lab-grown meat different from natural meat on Earth?

A.Its taste is better. B.It is healthier.

C.It comes from best animals. D.It consumes less energy.

【3】What is Mr Toubia's attitude to the joint experiment?

A.Supportive. B.Doubtful. C.Negative. D.Worried.

【4】What problem does the passage mainly talk about?

A.How do astronauts eat in space?

B.Do plants need less water in space?

C.Are space hamburgers becoming real?

D.Is beef easier to store in space?

27、   While most consumers wish to reduce plastic waste, it’s not an easy goal to achieve. That’s because the cheap and long-lived material is found in almost every daily necessity. Now, an Indonesian-based company has come up with a delicious solution.

David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says after investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for containers, seaweed does not require water, fertilizers, or large amounts of space. According to Evoware, as much as 40 tons of seaweed can be grown in an area the size of a baseball field. Since Indonesian farmers harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it’s easy to find the material.

The seaweed packaging is safe to consume and can entirely dissolve（溶解）in hot water. While the eatable wrappers（包装纸）may not have any taste, Dubbed Ello Jello, the single-use cups invented by Evoware, are available in four tastes—orange, lychee, peppermint, and green tea. The best part? You can order the powder and make them at home! Though currently(目前) they cannot stand hot liquids, Evoware is working on making heat-resistant（耐热的）cups as well.

While the seaweed products seem like a perfect replacement, it’s a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness and sense of urgency to minimize the use of single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic seem unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. However, Evoware believes they can reduce the price once the company moves to mass production. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing people worldwide that switching to their products will go a long way in protecting our beautiful planet.

【1】How does seaweed differ from corn?

A.It sells better. B.It’s less expensive.

C.It takes less labor to process. D.It needs less resources to grow.

【2】What nature do seaweed wrappers have?

A.They melt in cold water. B.They are easy to break down.

C.They can only be made at home. D.They can resist heat.

【3】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Evoware’s current cups B.Plastic containers

C.Heat-resistant cups. D.Eatable packaging.

【4】What can we infer from Christian’s words in the last paragraph?

A.The price of plastics will go down.

B.Indonesians care little about the planet.

C.It takes much effort to promote the new product.

D.The seaweed products need much improvement.

28、   We all agree that we should recycle more at home, in the office or when out and about. 【1】 As a result, they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling. This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.

【2】 And the effective sorting needs to happen first in our own home, and second in sorting plants to which waste is collected. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin, you are helping sort recyclable things so that the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. If sorting does not happen, a lot of recyclable materials can end up in landfills. It will lead to valuable resources lost from our economy.

【3】 For instance, in Brussels consumers put plastic packaging, cans and soft drink cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna(Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year. 【4】.

Once recyclable materials are collected from your home, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 【5】 Traditionally, sorting has been done either by hand with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be thrown away. Today, however, new sorting technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also cause better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of them can be recycled.

A.Packaging is the first step towards recycling.

B.For effective recycling we need effective sorting.

C.So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.

D.This is where different sorting techniques come into play.

E.The rest were landfilled or burned even though they could have been recycled or reused.

F.Collection systems can be very different from country to country.

G.But for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste bin.
