21、Today, plastic is used in almost everything, from shopping bags and bottles to chairs and cars. Plastic has conquered the world. But do you know how it was first made?
The first man-made plastic was created by Alexander Parkes, who introduced it at the 1862 Great International Exhibition in London. It was called Parkesine, and it was made from plant materials. Once heated, it could be molded, and it held its shape when cooled. Also, it could be made colored or transparent. However, it was too expensive to produce for common use.
In the 19th century, billiards（a game played on a cloth-covered table）was so popular that a lot of elephants were being killed for their ivory, which was used to make billiard balls. So, people tried to find a substitute. A U.S. billiard ball company offered a prize of S10, 000 to the person who could design the best substitute for natural ivory. In 1866, Joh
Wesley Hyatt created Celluloid while trying to win the prize. Although he failed to win, Celluloid was later used to make many products, including false teeth, piano keys, and ping pong balls.
In 1909, Leo Backeland created Bakelite. Made entirely of artificial materials, it was the first true plastic. It was inexpensive, and it kept its shape when heated. Soon, it was being used in many things, including electrical products and jewelry. Since then, many other plastics have been developed.
Today, most plastics are produced from non-natural materials made from petroleum. They are light, flexible, strong. and cheap. Despite all these advantages, there is one problem: plastic waste breaks down slowly and toxic chemicals can leak from it. Therefore, people are trying to develop less harmful plastics.

22、 In China, 2020 was bid farewell with a series of fireworks and the scratching off of 200 million metric tons of plastic straws from the nation’s pollution stocks.
The ban comes into effect first with two items, plastic straws and single-use shopping bags, with other single-use plastics to follow. China is one of fewer than 10 nations to ban plastic straws completely.
The ban was announced in the Party's new Five-Year Plan in January 2021, and aims to reduce plastic pollution while moving to biodegradable alternatives, starting with plastic straws.
But there is something unique that makes a plastic straw ban in China have more effect than other countries, and it isn't the fact that it is the most populous nation. It’s that paper and polylactic acid compound straws will replace plastic ones in the people’s favorite drink — tapioca pearl tea, also known as milk or bubble tea.
Chinese consumers love milk tea. These treats, often taking the place of the West‘s morning coffee, are drunk through plastic straws larger and thicker than those we would recognize from a McDonald‘s as they must be able to adapt to the movement of the “bubbles” of tapioca pudding.
Milk tea chains like Nayuki in Shanghai have already been using paper straws for most of the year ahead of the first stage of the plastic ban scheduled to start in 2021. One Chinese news agency reports that while prices for biodegradable alternatives to straws and bags are more expensive, the ban has seen the market share for bio-plastics increase to an expected $7.3 billion in 2025, and a further doubling to $ 13.9 billion by 2030, suggesting the cost will rapidly decrease as more companies enter the market with new technologies.
【1】What do we know about the ban?
A．It aims to improve plastic straws and single-use shopping bags.
B．It was put forward in the Party's last Five-Year Plan.
C．It begins with plastic straws and single-use shopping bags.
D．It will solve plastic pollution completely.
【2】Why does the plastic straw ban have more effect on China?
A．China has the largest population in the world.
B．Chinese people prefer plastic straws.
C．A large quantity of plastic straws are being used in Chinese people's favorite drink.
D．Milk tea will no longer be loved by Chinese consumers.
【3】What can we infer about biodegradable alternatives, future from the last paragraph?
A．It will be worrying.
B．It will be promising.
C．It will be hopeless.
D．It will be uncertain.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Entertainment.
B．Health.

24、The annual Global Grad Show in Dubai is never short on ideas. Some are confusing, but others might just change the world. “People are extremely concerned about health and mental health, “Global Grad Show director Tadeu Caravieri said. “People are(also)concerned about how to make the house a place that is civilized for work, for education, for healthcare and food security. “
As ever, the environment was high up the agenda. Dalilah Mansoor and Kaya Tueni, students at the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation, created “Wastology, “an indoor composting machine that doubles as herb and vegetable grower.
“We’re trying to solve overmuch food waste in the UAE(United Arab Emirates), “said Tueni. “We’re hoping that this small project, conducted at a domestic level, could have a bigger impact globally,” added Mansoor.
Mazyar Etehadi, a student at the same institution, similarly looked to home with “A” seedbot, “his solar-powered robot designed to sow seeds in the desert. “I just wish that there were more plants, more greenery out there, he said.
A’seedbot is about 20 cm long and designed to recharge during the day and work by night. Working autonomously within a set five kilometer radius, its3D-printed legs crawl through sand in search of the right levels of moisture (detected through one of its “eyes”) in which to plant a seed. With built-in collision avoidance, humans are only required to refill the robot.
Caravieri anticipates environmentally conscious innovations will only increase at future GlobalGrad Shows. “I think the conversations that are happening now will have an even bigger impact on the applications in the future years,” he said.
He also argues the show is the perfect catalyst for change. “Global Grad Show has that power. It sparks something in you, “Caravieri said. “You’ll get first motivated; then hopeful that things can change faster than we thought.”

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I am Sadie. I love oceans, especially the one near my grandma's house with beautiful shells. Why? That's what I am about to tell you.
It all started when my parents divorced a few weeks ago. I had remained silent since then. So my mother decided to send me to Florida to live with my grandma.
On the way to my grandma's house, my mother said, “Sadie, I know we are not the best family you can have and I truly apologize. I just do not know how to be a mother. But remember, Sadie, whatever happened, I do love you.” These words made me sadder.
When we arrived, Grandma told me to go upstairs and unpack my things while she spoke to my mother. When I saw a blue and green painted room with a huge window and a comfortable bed, I thought, “Moving to Florida might not be that bad.” I comforted myself as I walked towards the window. I opened the curtains and saw skyblue waves slowly washing away the sand on the beach and sea birds flying in the clear sky. The ocean was only a few hundred meters away from here.
After my mother left, Grandma softly touched my shoulder, “I want to take you to the place I called ‘the Big Blue’. And I think you might like it.” (I guess you could know where it is.)
Before I stepped on the sand I could smell the ocean. Together we enjoyed the sunset with a whole lot of yellow and orange. Suddenly she picked out the most beautiful shell I had ever seen in my life. It was almost gold, shining in the sunlight. I couldn't move my eyes off it.
