(10 points)The idea that plants have some degree of consciousness first took root in the early 2000s; the
2、term plant neurobiology was 1 around the notion that some aspects of plan behavior could be 2 to intelligence in animals. 3 plants lack brains, the firing of electrical signals in their stems and leaves nonetheless triggered responses that 4 consciousness, researchers previously reported.But such an
3、 idea is untrue, according to a new opinion article. Plant biology is complex and fascinating, but it 5 so greatly from that of animals that so-called 6 of plants intelligence is inconclusive, the authors wrote.Beginning in 2006, some scientists have 7 that plants possess neuron-like cells that inte

5、trical pulses; cells in plants also communicate through electrical signals. 13 , the signaling in a plantis only 14 similar to the firing in a complex animal brain, which is more than a mass of cells that communicate by electricity. Taiz said.For consciousness to evolve, a brain with a threshold 15

(40 points)Text 1People often complain that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other t
11、rash litter the planet, from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench, because plastics are everywhere and dont break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and fizzle. They weep out additives. They melt into sludge. All of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such
12、 as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects. The variety of plastic objects at risk is dizzying: early radios, avant-garde sculptures, celluloid animation sills from Disney films, the first artificial heart.Certain artifacts are especially vulnerable because some pioneers in plastic
13、 art didnt always know how to mix ingredients properly, says Thea van Oosten, a polymer chemist who, until retiring a few years ago, worked for decades at the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands. Its like baking a cake: If you dont have exact amounts, it goes wrong. she says. The object you
14、make is already a time bomb.And sometimes, its not the artists fault. In the 1960s, the Italianartist Picro Gilardi began to create hundreds of bright, colorful foam pieces. Those pieces included small beds of roses and other items as well as a few dozen nature carpetslarge rectangles decorated with
15、 foam pumpkins, cabbages, and watermelons. He wanted viewers to walk around on the carpetswhich meant they had to be durable.Unfortunately, the polyurethane foam he used is inherently unstable.Its especially vulnerable to light damage, and by the mid-1990s, Gilardis pumpkins, roses, and other figure
16、s were silting and crumbling. Museums locked some of them away in the dark.So van Oosten and her colleagues worked to preserve Gilardis sculptures. They infused some with stabilizing and consolidating chemicals. Van Oosten calls those chemicals sunscreens because their goal was to prevent further li
17、ght damage and rebuild worn polymer fibers. She is proud that several sculptures have even gone on display again, albeit sometimes beneath protective cases.Despite success stories like van Oostens, preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to deteriorate. Worse, biodegrad
18、able plastics designed to disintegrate, are increasingly common.And more is at stake here than individual objects. Joana Lia Ferreira, an assistant professor of conservation and restoration at the NOVA School of Science and Technology, notes that archaeologists first defined the great material ages
19、of human historyStone Age, Iron Age, and so onafter examining artifacts in museums. We now live in an age of plastic, she says, and what we decide to collect today, what we decide to preserve. will have a strong impact on how in the future well be seen.21. According to Paragraph 1, museums are faced
20、 with difficulties in .A maintaining their plastic itemsB obtaining durable plastic artifactsC handling outdated plastic exhibitsD classifying their plastic collections22. Van Oosten believes that certain plastic objects are .A immune to decayB improperly shapedC inherently flawedD complex in struct
21、ure23. Museums stopped exhibiting some of Gilardis artworks to .A keep them from hurting visitorsB duplicate them for future displayC have their ingredients analyzedD prevent them from further damage24. The author thinks that preservation of plastics is .A costlyB unworthyC unpopularD challenging25.
22、 In Frreiras opinion, preservation of plastic artifacts .A will inspire future scientific researchB has profound historical significanceC will help us separate the material agesD has an impact on todays cultural lifeText2As the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and wei
23、gh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.Millennials were told that if you did well in school, got a decent degree, you would be set
24、 up for life. But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued.Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today, 28 per cent of graduates in the UK are in non-graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries.This
25、is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z se
26、eking to learn from their millennial predecessors, even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset.Employers have long seen the advantages of hiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyal employees than graduates. Many too are seeing the adva
27、ntages of scrapping a degree requirement for certain roles.For those for whom a degree is the desired route, consider that this may well be the first of many. In this age of generalists, it pays to have specific knowledge or skills. Postgraduates now earn 40 per cent more than graduates. When more a
28、nd more of us have a degree, it makes sense to have two.It is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable. It has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, th
29、e wish for personal fulfillment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers. Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Zscareer trajectory.Older generations often talk
30、 about their degree in the present and personal tense: I am a geographer or I am a classist. Their sons or daughters would never say such a thing; its as if they already know that their degree wont define them in the same way.26. The author suggests that Generation Z should .A be careful in choosing
31、 a collegeB be diligent at each educational stageC reassess the necessity of college educationD postpone their undergraduate application27. The percentage of UK graduates in non-graduate roles reflect .A Millennials opinions about workB the shrinking value of a degreeC public discontent with educati
32、onD the desired route of social mobility28. The author considers it a good sign that .A Generation Z are seeking to earn a decent degree.B School leavers are willing to be skilled workers.C Employers are taking a realistic attitude to degreesD Parents are changing their minds about education.29. It
33、is advised in Paragraph 5 that those with one degree should .A make an early decision on their careerB attend on the job training programsC team up with high-paid postgraduatesD further their studies in a specific field30. What can be concluded about Generation Z from the last two paragraphs?A Lifel
34、ong learning will define them.B They will make qualified educators.C Depress will no longer appeal them.D They will have a limited choice of jobs.Text3Enlightening, challenging, stimulating, fun. These were some of the words that Nature readers used to describe their experience ofart-science collabo
35、rations in a series of articles on partnerships between artists and researchers. Nearly 40% of the roughly 350 people whoresponded to an accompanying poll said, they had collaborated with artists; and almost all said they would consider doing so in future.Such an encouraging result is not surprising
36、. Scientists are increasingly seeking out visual artists to help them communicate their work to new audiences. Artists help scientists reach a broader audience and make emotional connections that enhance learning. One respondent said.One example of how artists and scientists have together rocked the
37、 scenes came last month when the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performed a reworked version of Antonio Vivaldis The Four Seasons.They reimagined the 300-year-old score by injecting the latest climate prediction data for each season-provided by Monash Universitys Climate Change Communication Research Hub
38、. The performance was a creative call to action ahead of Novembers United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, UK.But a genuine partnership must be a two-way street. Fewer artiststhan scientists responded to the Nature poll, however, several respondents noted that artists do not simply assi
39、st scientists with their communication requirements. Nor should their work be considered only as an object of study. The alliances are most valuable when scientists and artists have a shared stake in a project, are able to jointly design it and can critique each others work. Such an approach can bot
