Mst peple dn’t think much abut the fd scraps they thrw away;hwever,researchers in Tky have develped a new methd t reduce fd waste by recycling discarded fruit and vegetable scraps int rbust cnstructin materials.
Wrldwide industrial and husehld fd waste amunts t hundreds f billins f punds per year,a large prprtin f which cmprises edible (可食用的) scraps,like fruit and vegetable peels.This unsustainable practice is bth cstly and envirnmentally unfriendly,s researchers have been searching fr new ways t recycle these rganic materials int useful prducts.“Our gal was t use seaweed and cmmn fd scraps t cnstruct materials that were at least as strng as cncrete,” explains Yuya Sakai,the senir authr f the study.“But since we were using edible fd waste,we were als interested in determining whether the recycling prcess impacted the flavr f the riginal materials.”
The researchers brrwed a “heat pressing” cncept that is typically used t make cnstructin materials frm wd pwder,except they used vacuum-dried,pulverized(粉狀的)fd scraps,such as seaweed,cabbage leaves,and range,nin,pumpkin,and banana peels as the cnstructin pwders.The prcessing technique invlved mixing the fd pwder with water and seasnings,and then pressing the mixture int a mld at high temperature.The researchers tested the bending strength f the resulting materials and mnitred their taste,smell and appearance.
“With the exceptin f the specimen btained frm pumpkin,all f the materials exceeded ur bending strength target,” says Kta Machida,a senir cllabratr.“We als fund that Chinese cabbage leaves,which prduced a material ver three times strnger than cncrete,culd be mixed with the weaker pumpkin-based material t prvide effective rein fr cement.”The new,rbust materials kept their edible nature,and the additin f salt r sugar imprved their taste withut reducing their strength.Furthermre,the durable prducts resisted rt,fungi(菌類),and insects,and experienced n appreciable changes in appearance r taste after expsure t air fr fur mnths.
Given that fd waste is a glbal financial burden and envirnmental cncern,it is crucial t develp methds fr recycling fd scraps.Using these substances t prepare materials that are strnger enugh fr cnstructin prjects,but als maintain their edible nature and taste,pens the dr t a wide range f creative applicatins.【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文,主要介紹了一項研究。東京的研究人員開發(fā)了一種新的方法,通過將廢棄的水果和蔬菜殘渣回收成堅固的建筑材料來減少食物浪費,這項科技有很大的發(fā)展空間。
1.Why d the researchers search fr new ways t recycle rganic materials?
A.Because the cnstructin f rbust material needs much fd fd waste is bth cstly and envirnmentally they want t make a frtune by recycling the fd the amunt f fd waste is t large t stre at the mment.解析 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“This unsustainable practice recycle these rganic materials int useful prducts.”可知,這種做法浪費了很多錢,不環(huán)保,所以科學家們一直在尋找新的方法,把這些廢料變成有用的東西。
2.What des the underlined wrd “cmprises” mean in the secnd paragraph?
A.Cntains. D.Originates.解析 詞義猜測題。分析句子可知,which引導定語從句,指代fd waste,結(jié)合下文“edible (可食用的) scraps,like fruit and vegetable peels.”可推斷,食物浪費包括可食用的殘羹剩飯,畫線詞與A項“包括”意思相近。
3.Which f the fllwing is right accrding t the text?
A.All the materials btained frm fd waste surpass researchers’ strength material prduced frm Chinese cabbage leaves is tw times strnger than is a lt f rm fr creative use f this new materials are strng enugh fr cnstructin prjects,but fail t maintain their riginal taste.
解析 正誤判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“Using these substance t prepare materials wide range f creative applicatins.”可知,用食物殘余物來做成足夠堅固的材料用于建筑工程,為未來技術(shù)打開了大門,因此推斷這項技術(shù)有很大的創(chuàng)造性使用空間。
4.Where is the text prbably frm?
A.A turist brchure. B.A recipe bk.C.A bigraphy bk. D.A science magazine.解析 文章出處題。根據(jù)第一段中的“researchers in Tky have rbust cnstructin materials.”和下文內(nèi)容可知,文章主要介紹了一項研究,因此,文章很可能來自科學雜志。
(2024·安慶第一中學高三模擬)One f the biggest tpics f the last decade, sustainability has becme the beacn (燈塔) f hpe t prtect the planet.Frm supermarkets taking actin n plastic packaging t the zer waste mvement that can be practised frm yur kitchen, changes made by individuals and rganizatins acrss the glbe have had an impact n the way we think, shp and live.
S what des that mean fr the wrld f technlgy? Yu’d be frgiven fr thinking that the wrds “sustainable” and “tech” dn’t usually g hand in hand.E-waste is, after all, ne f the planet’s biggest cntributing waste streams.Nt nly that, but the materials that g int tech prducts are als part f the prblem.
But with a challenge cmes an pprtunity, and there’s already sme brilliant prgress happening—great news fr thse f us wanting t be mre sustainable with ur tech.Firstly, renewed tech is having its mment.While cnsumers wuld previusly turn__their__nses__up__at the idea f a secnd-h(huán)and device, there’s been a huge surge in demand fr renewed tech.The secnd majr step in tackling the prblem f e-waste is a change in attitudes frm wning a prduct t subscribing fr ne.A subscriptin fr a smartphne might sund like a freign cncept, but it’s already gaining mmentum.At the frefrnt f this mvement is Lndn-based tech startup Rayl, a pending B Crp which ffers a subscriptin service fr the latest iPhne.As custmers aren’t paying t wn the phne at the end f their cntract, the mnthly price is significantly lwer than average.
Studies shw that extending a phne’s lifespan frm ne t fur years can decrease its envirnmental impact by abut 40%.S the next time it cmes t refreshing yur device—whether a smartphne, laptp, tablet r smething else—cnsider the mre envirnmentally-friendly ptins that are at yur fingertips.【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了可持續(xù)發(fā)展已經(jīng)滲透到了人們生活中的各個方面,也改變了人們的思維、購物和生活方式。那么如何在科技領(lǐng)域?qū)崿F(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展的目標呢?作者對此給出了兩種方法。
5.What’s the purpse f paragraph 1?
A.T change the way we think, shp, and intrduce the tpic f sustainability in tell us what peple have dne t prtect the call n peple t d smething fr the envirnment.解析 寫作意圖題。根據(jù)“One f the biggest tpics f the last prtect the planet.”及第二段“S what des that mean fr the wrld f technlgy?”可推斷,作者寫第一段的目的是引出本文的主題:如何在科技領(lǐng)域?qū)崿F(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展的目標。
6.What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?
A.High-tech prducts are in shrt supply.B.E-waste cntributes t the biggest waste tw sustainability prblems in sustainable technlgy is unfrgivable.解析 段落大意題。由第二段內(nèi)容可推知,第二段主要介紹了科技領(lǐng)域出現(xiàn)的兩個(阻礙)可持續(xù)發(fā)展的問題。
7.Which f the fllwing best explains “turn their nses up at” underlined in paragraph 3?
A.Oppse. D.Accept.解析 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線短語后半句“there’s been a huge surge in demand fr renewed tech”和While可知,前后表示轉(zhuǎn)折。由此可推斷消費者以前對二手設(shè)備的想法持反對態(tài)度。所以turn their nses up at應(yīng)意為“反對”。
8.Hw can we becme sustainable in technlgy accrding t Rayl?
A.By upgrading the ld paying mnthly fr a spending less mney n a replacing the ld ne with the latest ne.解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“As custmers aren’ than average”可知,在Rayl公司,消費者不需要購買手機,只需要每月支付較低的月租費用。

【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了步行的好處以及一些簡單但是能夠幫助你多走路的方法。1.G [根據(jù)上文“步行,作為一項我們大多數(shù)人沒有想太多就能做的簡單活動,提供了許多重要的健康益處?!笨芍径沃饕v述的是步行帶來的好處。G 項“例如,每天步行 30 分鐘可以降低患癌癥的風險?!狈险Z境。]2.C [根據(jù)本段主旨句“使步行成為一種習慣?!笨芍?,建議讓走路成為一種習慣。C 選項中的“rutine”和“habit”對應(yīng)。故 C 項“重復是常規(guī)之母?!狈险Z境。]
3.A [空處為段落主題句。根據(jù)下文“為了避免可預見性或無聊,讓其他人加入你?!笨芍?,本段建議人們?yōu)榱吮苊饪菰餆o聊,讓別人加入。A 項“讓步行成為集體活動?!狈险Z境。]4.E [根據(jù)上文“辦公室類型不必局限于你的辦公桌。如果情況允許,考慮步行會議。小組討論可以在散步時進行。或者,如果可以的話,在打電話的時候繞著大樓走一圈。”可知,本段內(nèi)容建議工作期間人們的活動范圍不要局限于辦公桌附近,要嘗試大家一起散步,從而在散步中解決問題,也可以在打電話時邁開步子,所以此處也是建議人們離開辦公桌多步行。E 項“與其發(fā)電子郵件,不如走過去和他們交談?!狈险Z境。]
5.F [根據(jù)段落主題句“利用科技。”可知,本段建議人們使用高科技健身工具和應(yīng)用程序來進行監(jiān)測,因此判斷 F 選項“但是不要選擇僅僅監(jiān)測步數(shù)的追蹤器。”符合語境,可以和后句內(nèi)容形成對比。]
