9、rs on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Theres a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World.

10、ade Nov 16th International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱)and error; let us pardon each others fbolthat is the first law of nature.”Very often, people dont re
11、alize that theyre intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.Its worth thinki
12、ng a little about the words “tolerance” and intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant“ of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.Still, what
13、Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the reason we should be tolerant. Ifs a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.1、Whafs the purpose of the UN International Day For Toler
14、ance?A. To arouse peoples awareness of tolerance among people.B. To celebrate the founding of the UN.C. To solve the problem of global warming.D. To change peopled opinion towards globalization.2、Why do men behave intolerantly towards women?A. Because men dont realize the purpose of the UN.B. Becaus
15、e men are physically stronger than women.C. Because men dont appreciate the shoes of women.D. Because men are not willing to understand women.3、Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance and intolerance”?A. Because they are hard to pronounce in English.B , Because they dont express the exact
16、meaning people refer to.C. Because they cant be translated into other languages.D. Because they cant be used in a respectful way.4、In what sense is tolerance“ similar to generosity”? A. Humans are advised to treat others better.B. Humans leant to find faults in others.C. Humans need to give somethin
17、g to others.D.

It was valued as a potential breakthrough at the time. But a new disc
18、overy came as a team of British scientists examined an enzyme（酶）produced by the Japanese bacteria to find out more about its structure. While operating the structure to better understand how it worked, they accidentally created the changed enzyme thats even more efficient at breaking down plastic bo
19、ttles.The researchers are now working to further improve the enzyme so it can be used on an industrial scale. Ifs possible that within the next few years there could be an industrially possible process for turning PET into other substances so it can be recycled.The ability to scale up the process wi
20、ll be important. Plastic pollution is fast becoming one of the biggest environmental issues of our time. More than 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute. Most of these bottles are made from PET, which can take up toOO years to biodegrade（生物降解），and many are left in the oc
21、eans. Over half of global PET waste is not collected for recycling and only 7 percent of bottles are recycled into new bottles.Some scientists say the breakthrough, though promising, is nowhere near enough to solve our pollution crisis. These enzymes are not abundantly present in nature. So you woul
22、d need to produce the enzyme first, then add it to the PET plastic to degrade it.This is likely to be a slow process. Tf you have gone through the trouble of collecting the PET waste, then there are clearly far better ways to recycle it or burn it fbr energy/9 said Wim, head of the Industrial Biotec
23、hnology Center. He suggested the use of commercially available biodegradable bioplastics would still be a better bet.1、What unexpected discovery did the British scientists make?A. An effective way to deal with plastic waste.B. A potential solution in collecting PET waste.C. The way to understand the
24、 structure of enzyme better.D. The real value of the discovery by Japanese scientists.2、What does the underlined phrase the process in Paragraph 3 actually refer to?A.

25、 kind of new PET.3、What is the problem about recycling the PET waste?A. Large quantities of plastic bottles are used.B , Ocean plastic waste is harder to biodegradeC. Most of the PET waste is left without treatment.D. Most of the plastic products are made from PET.4、What can be concluded from the la
26、st paragraph?A. The enzyme does not exist in nature.B. The enzyme has helped to solve the plastic problems.C. Burning plastic waste for energy is now the best way to rid it.D. We have a long way to go to use the enzyme to recycle PET waste.Text 3Some people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text
27、message that just says “Thank you? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Dont these people realize that theyre wasting your time?Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little politeness. But many social agreed standards just dont
28、 make sense to people drowning in digital communication.OOhN & MIn texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text.
