27、These days, many people are concerned about plastic waste; however, the convenience and cost of plastic food packaging are hard to beat. But now, a growing number of inventors and companies are trying to make edible — or eatable — packaging and tableware from foods like seaweed, milk proteins and potato starch.
Edible films, wrappers and straws have already found a specialty market and are starting to attract attention from larger food and drink companies, according to researcher Prachi Patel. At the 2019 London Marathon, the start-up company Notpla handed out sports drink, packaged in seaweed-based capsules, to thirsty runners. Although the packaging is safe to swallow, runners can choose to spit out the film. In that case, it biodegrades(生物降解) in only 4—6 weeks. The New York-based company Loliware is making seaweed and algae(藻类)-based straws that feel like plastic for 24 hours after getting wet. Once used, they can be eaten, or they will degrade in the environment within 2 months. Marriott Hotels and alcoholic-beverage firm Pernod Ricard have already started using the straws.
Although edible packaging is gaining ground, challenges remain. Some worry about the hygiene(卫生) of eating packaging that has been touched or exposed to germs during transport or while sitting on the shelf. Experts agree that edible packaging will require an outer layer, but these materials could also be made from continual materials, such as paper. Another obstacle is public acceptance: will people eat something that is usually thrown away? Consumers could perhaps be convinced if the packaging includes nutrients, such as vitamins or proteins, or just tastes good. And finally, improvements in heat and moisture(湿度) stability need to be made before edible packaging can enjoy widespread use.
【1】Why is plastic packing widely used despite public concern?
A．It contains a lot.
B．It’s cheap.
C．It’s easy to degrade.
D．It keeps food longer.
【2】What do seaweed-based capsules and straws have in common?
A．They are very profitable.
B．They are both degradable.
C．They both feel like plastic.
D．They are both a hit with kids.
【3】What needs to be done before edible packaging is widely used?
A．To produce it in large quantities.
B．To add a plastic outer layer to it.
C．To make it taste as good as vitamins.
D．To make sure it’s stable in hot and wet conditions.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A．A diary.
B．A guidebook.
C．A novel.
D．A magazine.

29、You’ve studied hard, you’ve got the grades and now you’re off to university! This is the journey that many students are taking, but how prepared are they to leave home, stand on their own two feet and be self- independent? One study, carried out by the Higher Education Policy Institute and Unite Students in 2021, suggested that as well as being excited and nervous, many students are deeply ill-informed about what to expect.
Of course, flying the nest to go to university is the opportunity of a lifetime, but to make the most of it needs some preparation before you arrive. This means learning life skills such as cooking and cleaning. You’ll no longer be able to rely on Mum and Dad to feed you or clear up after you1, so try to learn how to make some staple dishes that are quick and easy to prepare. Graduate Peter Rogers told the reporter: “I didn’t really have anything other than basic cookery skills before I went to university and found learning to cook was reasonably enjoyable. ” Other things to do while at home is to practise some of those household chores, like operating the washing machine or ironing your clothes!
These domestic skills will come in useful because students will probably be living with others such as in a flat share or shared campus-based accommodation (膳食住宿). This will also require taking responsibility for managing their finances because, apart from tuition fees, accommodation is likely to be the biggest cost for students living away from home. However, the Higher Education Policy Institute and Unite Students study found only about half of the would-be students surveyed identified rent as the biggest expense and concluded that this suggests more should be done to help in the transition (过渡) between school and university.
New students are going to have to be sociable as well-not just relying on old friends at home. Going to university requires meeting new people and making new friends. This often begins in Freshers’ Week although journalism student Emmeke Megannety warns that: “People starting university need to remember that the people you meet in your first week will not necessarily be your friends for life.”But whatever your expectations, it’s good to be prepared for the time of your life.
【1】What’s the function of the question in the first paragraph?
A．To introduce a topic.
B．To explain a concept.
C．To make a prediction.
D．To summarize a passage.
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Most would-be students have a correct understanding of rents.
B．There’s no need to help them to adapt to the new environment.
C．There’s a gap between students’ knowledge of the rent and the reality.
D．Apart from accommodation, students don’t need to bear financial burden.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Most students know quite well what to expect in college.
B．Cooking and cleaning do ensure a successful college life.
C．Without life skills, students can’t survive the college life.
D．Old friends are not enough to help you enjoy college life.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Get prepared for college.
B．Learn basic life skills.
C．Stand on your own feet.
D．Rely on friends when going out.

Despite this, I don’t _______ anything about my time in London. Even _______ painful experiences, we learn to grow.
_______ the difficult times made me sad and homesick. But luckily that was not as important as the amazing experience I had getting to know people from all over the world.

31、
The Sculptor Speaks
Appreciation of sculpture depends upon the ability to respond to form in three dimensions(维度). That is perhaps why sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve 【1】 of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are ‘form-blind’ than color-blind. Children learning to see, first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances, depths. Later, for their personal safety and practical needs, they have to develop partly by 【2】 of touch, the ability to judge roughly three-dimensional distances. But after they 【3】 the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may 【4】 considerable accuracy in the perception(知觉，感知) of flat form, they do not make the further intellectual and emotional effort needed to 【5】 form in its full spatial existence.
This is what the sculptor must do. He must 【6】 continually to think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head—he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely in the hollow of his hand. He 【7】 visualizes a complex form from all round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like, he will have to 【8】 himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; and he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.
And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as 【9】, not as description or reminiscence(回忆，联想). He must, for example, see an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the 【10】 idea that it will become a bird. And so with solids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone. From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.
