Around 45% of plastic waste is recycled annually in the UK and is on the increase. However,
one of the problems with present plastic recycling methods is that you end up with a lower-quality
plastic with worse properties (
特性
) than the original. This means that plastic drink bottles cannot
simply be recycled into new drink bottles continuously, but instead are used for other lower-grade
products like park benches.
Now, British
scientists
have
developed
a
new
method
of
chemical
recycling.
They
use
lower
temperatures
and
more
environmentally-friendly
starting
chemicals
than
previous
methods
to
turn
plastics back into their constituent chemical molecules (
分子
). In this way, they can be used to make
new plastics of the same quality as the original.

plastic
is
now
recycled
using
mechanical
methods,
where
they
are
transformed
into
liquids
before
being
made
into
something
new,
said
a
professor
named
Matthew
Jones.

problem is, melting plastic changes its properties and reduces the quality. Our method of chemical
recycling
overcomes
this
problem.
Then
plastics
can
be
used
all
over
again
without
losing
any
properties.
The researchers are recycling some kinds of plastics, including plant- based PLA, a plastic used
for food packaging and PET, which is used for drink bottles. So far, the technology has only been
demonstrated on a small range. However, scientists are now working to produce larger quantities of
starting chemicals.

is
no
single
solution
to
the
problem
of
plastic
waste
—

the
approach
has
to
be
a
combination
of
reducing,
reusing
and
recycling.
Our
method
of
chemical
recycling
could
allow
carbon to be recycled endlessly rather than digging more up from the ground in the form of fossil
fuels,
or
letting
it
into
the
atmosphere
as
a
greenhouse
gas,
said
Dr.
Paul
McKeown
from
the
University of Bath.
24. What is the problem with the present plastic recycling?
A. Plastic drink bottles cannot be recycled.
B.

The quality of recycled plastics declines.
C. The amount of plastic waste is increasing.
D. Recycled lower-grade products sell badly.
25. How do scientists recycle plastic waste with the new method?
A. By transforming it into fuels.
B. By heating it into liquid state.
C. By changing its molecule structure.
D. By keeping its original properties.
26. What can we learn from what Dr. Paul McKeown said?
A. Fossil fuels are endless resources.
B. The plastic waste problem has no solution.
C. Recycled carbon leads to greenhouse gases.
D. The chemical recycling is environment-friendly.

C
Recently, as I watched my son Nathan playing basketball game, I felt sorry for myself and for
him. He was playing in the other team's home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan's team
was falling behind for three quarters of the game. As for me, I was dismissed from my job earlier in
the day.
Watching
the
difficult
situation
that
my
son
was
experiencing,
I
remembered
that
during
the
drive home earlier in the day, I kept telling myself that
“
just like last time I experienced this, I'll find
work again in a short time ---I'm confident in my experience and abilities and believe in myself.
”
But
then, self-doubt hit me.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still falling behind. I saw the
determination
on
his,
as
well
as
his
teammates'
faces
as
they
fought
back
to
not
only
tie
with
the
other team, but then go ahead by three points. Then, the scores were tied again. With a tie game and
seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball, and with skill and confidence, he moved
forward to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a
foul (
犯规
).

As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points,
I saw the focus and determination on his face; there was no room for self-doubt. He made it, helping
his team win the game. Later he told me he didn't know how he did it because he had lost all feelings
in his right arm from being thrown to the floor earlier the game.
As my heart burst with pride, I realized something. I had taught my son perseverance in the face
of
difficulties,
and
he
had
just
taught
me
the
same
lesson.
That
brief
moment
of
self-doubt
and
feeling sorry for myself was swept away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He'll play
in the finals, but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses. On that day, we both won.

28. Why did the author feel sorry?

A. He used to be too busy to accompany Nathan.




B. Nathan's team was too weak to compete in the game.
C. He and Nathan were both going through a hard time.
D. He had made a big mistake in his work.

29. What can be inferred about the author?

A. He always lacked self-confidence.
C. He didn't know his abilities well.
30. How was the last quarter of the game?

A. Nathan's teammates lost hope.

C. The game was very fierce at last.




B. The other team played casually.








D. It ended up with a big score difference.





B. He had lost his job more than once.







D. He disliked the job he had been doing.

31. What was the author's
“
win
”
on that day?

A. He found his true passion.
