1. 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

People have come to understand the enormous impacts-beneficial as well as harmful-plastics have on human lives and the environment. As polymer(聚合物) scientists committed to inventing sustainable solutions for real-world problems, we set out to tackle the issue of plastic waste by rethinking the way polymers are designed so we could make plastics with recyclability built right in. 

Everyday items including milk jug, grocery bags, and takeout containers are made from a class of polymers called polyolefins. These plastics are really durable (耐用的) because the chemical bonds in those polymers are extremely stable. In a world set up for disposable (一次性的) items, durability is no longer a design feature but rather a design drawback. Imagine if half the plastics used today were recyclable through twice as many processes as they are now. Also conventional recycling requires careful sorting of all the collected materials, which can be challenging with so many different plastics. For example, separating paper from metal doesn't require complex technology, but sorting a container from a milk jug of a different polyolefin is difficult to do without the occasional mistake. 

In a study published in Science in October 2023, we described a series of polymers with only two building blocks-one soft polymer and one hard polymer-that behave like polyolefins but could be chemically recycled. Connecting two different polymers multiple times until they form a single, long molecule(分子) creates what's called a multiblock polymer. By changing how much of each polymer type goes into the multiblock polymer, our team produced a wide range of materials with properties that covered all polyolefin types. 

Using the same strategy but by adding hydrogen, we could disconnect the polymers back into their building blocks and easily separate them to use again. When we made new polymers out of these recycled plastics, they performed just as well as the original materials even after several rounds of chemical recycling. So we were able to create materials with similar properties of the plastics the world relies on. We believe this work is a step toward more sustainable plastics. 

(1)  What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning plastics? A. Their multiple uses. B. Their chemical properties. C. Their recycling challenges. D. Their classification criteria.
(2)  A key factor of producing diverse multiblock polymers is ____. A. mixing building blocks with long molecules B. integrating chemicals into the two polymers C. combining two different multiblock polymers D. adjusting the percentage of the two polymers
(3)  Which is a feature of multiblock polymers? A. They are made from sustainable materials. B. They can be recycled by adding hydrogen. C. Their reliability outperforms traditional plastics. D. Their properties change with rounds of recycling.
(4)  Which of the following might be the best title? A. Designing for Recycling B. Classifying Plastic Waste C. Replace Plastics with Polymers D. Technology Creates the Future

I started the latest round of the NtriFit programme weeks ago. We take about 45 minutes to go through participants' health records, previous diets, expectations, and levels of willingness to change to customize(定制)the programme to meet each individual's needs.

I was shocked by one thing. When it comes to weight-loss goals, I usually ask, "When was the last time you were happy with your body?" The reply usually relates to pre-wedding, pre-kids, pre-college-the usual suspects. However this time, almost everyone said, Of course, I wasn't happy with it then, but I'd be happy with it now!"

It made me stop to think. For most of us, no matter how much we don't really like the body shape, there will likely be a point in the future when we would kill for the body we currently have. I don't mean to upset anyone from improving their health right now. But maybe we need to stop and smell the roses. We should be happy and grateful for our bodies exactly as they are.

That's why NutriFit has changed into something much more holistic(整体的). Now we have every shape and size taking part, but the goals are so much bigger: disease prevention, more energy and charity better immunity, ell-balanced hormones. the list goes on. Yes, we get great body part results but you are about so much more than what your body looks like.

In my opinion, the key rule of a successful nutrition programme is to be based on real food. If you focus more on balanced diets and less on weight, it becomes a mentally healthier process. If you're going to maintain your new, healthy lifestyle, it needs to be something you actively enjoy a lifestyle hat you want to maintain. If you eat healthily because you want to rather than you have to, life gets 1,000 percent easier.

(1) What did the author do to customize the programme for individuals? A. Analyze and adjust participants' dietary structure. B. Examine participants' physical health condition. C. Make clear of people's health history and plans. D. Introduce the programme in detail.
(2) What made the author shocked? A. People's discontent with their previous life. B. People's optimism about their current body C. Peoples satisfaction with their former body. D. People's ambitious goals of losing weight,
(3) What does NuriFitpay attention to now? A. People s image. B. People's health C. People's weight D. People's appearance
(4) What should a successful nutrition programme focus on in the author's view? A. A healthy lifestyle. B. A sound exercise plan C. Enough nutritious food D. Weight loss.

Paris boasts a wealth of world-class museums and architectural masterpieces. From the world's largest art museum to France's most famous landmark, there is plenty to experience in the French capital.

The Louvre Museum

As the most visited art museum in the world and also the largest, the Louvre should be top of your list. It would take you no fewer than 100 days to visit the 35, 000 works of art on display across 300 rooms – and that's if you spend just 30 seconds looking at each one.

The Moulin Rouge (红磨坊)

The Moulin Rouge in Montmartre, with its iconic red windmill, was built in 1885. The venue pioneered the famous French cancan dance, and has now become one of the most famous cabarets in the world. Expect flamboyant handmade costumes of feathers and elegance at every turn.

The Eiffel Tower

Originally built to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution in 1889, the impressive Eiffel Tower has become the most iconic landmark(地标) of France. The first floor is home to the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant while the second-floor observation deck provides spectacular bird's eye views – the best in the city.

The top of the Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe, a Neoclassical take on the ancient Roman arch, is one of Paris's most iconic attractions. It's worth hiking the 284 stairs to reach the platform on top of the arch as the views span right across the city, towering above the capital at 50m tall.

    Parents complain that children outgrow their clothes so fast that it costs a fortune(£12, 000 on average per year), going through seven different sizes in the space of their first two years. There could now be a solution:a new high-tech fabric(织物)that expands as the wearer grows.

    Ryan Yasin, who is studying for a master's degree at the London Royal College of Art, came up with the idea after purchasing clothes for his newborn nephew, only to find the baby had outgrown them by the time they arrived. In addition to the expense Yasin was also concerned about the environmental influence. The process of making and distributing just l kilogram, or 2. 2 pounds, of new fabric results in an average of 23 kg, or 50 pounds of greenhouse gases. To make matters worse, the “fast fashion” trend worldwide has caused garment production to double since 2000, with more than half of the clothing ending up in landfills annually!

    To find a solution, Yasin used his previous experience designing satellites to invent a way to fold synthetic(合成的)material such that it stretches in all directions.

    The first design, a pair of tiny pants, not only fit his baby nephew, but also his 2-year-old niece! After spending a lot of time perfecting the process and testing the design, Yasin is now awaiting a patent for his design and seeking investors(投资者)to bring the clothing to market.

    For his new line of Petit Pli, the designer plans to produce outerwear that is both waterproof(防水的)and windproof. The clothing will be machine washable and fold small enough to fit in a jacket or pant pocket. Yasin plans to establish a take-back system so that worn-out Petit Pli clothing can be recycled into new fabric.

    The designer does not expect parents to dress their children only in his expandable clothing, particularly since the current designs use synthetic materials. But he plans to soon produce the wear in “a wider variety of garments” and hopes that Petit Pli will be able to have an “influence on over-consumption. ”We surely hope he succeeds!

(1) What inspired Yasin's invention? A. His great expense on clothes. B. His unhappy experience. C. His nephew's piled-up clothes. D. His desire for a master's degree.
(2) Which of the following statements about Yasin's design is true? A. It has been tested successful. B. It has come on the market. C. It has got a patent. D. It has attracted a lot of investors.
(3) What will be one advantage of the new outerwear? A. It comes in various styles. B. It needs no washing. C. It can never be worn out. D. It is space-saving.
(4) Why does Yasin suggest a limited use of the expandable clothing? A. Its cost is too high. B. It lacks stylish designs. C. Its materials are not natural. D. It is not easily recycled.
