32、llute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms(幼虫). Researchers in Spain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯), which accounts for 40% of pla
33、stics.That is to say, part of plastics can be consumed by this kind of worms. The team left 100 wax worms on a plastic shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms chewing alone was not responsible for the polyeth
34、ylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their massapparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology.Federica Bertocchini, coauthor of the stud
35、y, says the worms ability to break down their everyday foodbeeswaxalso allows them to break down plastic. Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carboncarbon bond, is there as well, she explains. The wax worm developed a method or system to break this bond.Jennifer Debruyn
36、, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify
37、 where the enzyme comes from. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her teams findings might one day help make use of the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process
38、not simply millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.28. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They can consume plastics.C. They end up in landfills.D. They are new creatures.29. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study i

It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might _.A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced

42、entury education._33_ As students explore texts that were written hundreds of years before, they know the world as it was in those days. Being able to hear those voices from the past is a good chance young people should be grateful to have.Furthermore, as students read classic works, they begin to s
43、ee history in a new way. Living in the modern world, most teens dont think about that human civilization has been around for a longtime. _34_ Yet the experiences of those people can help students deal with the challenge today. The wording and writing style may have changed, but the deep themes (love
44、, loss, and courage) are as true today as they were for the authors of these early works.One of the most important reasons to study classic literature, however, is to expand ones mind. _35_ To prove this, a group of scientists gathered volunteers who agreed to have their brains canned while reading
45、phrases from classic literature in both their original form and in modern translations. The result of the study showed a significant increase in the brain activity of people reading the original literature works. _36_ It connects students to history, helps them solve todays problems and improves the
46、ir thinking. Therefore, if todays teens are going to grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers, it is important that elassic literature remains a part of their education.A. Clearly, thats why it is so important.B. These were things that were on peoples minds at that time.C. Students often wond
47、er why they have to study “ancient” writing.D. To sum up, classic literature is important in a high school education.E.

93、e more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that ends up in landfills(垃圾填埋场) , and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms(幼虫). Researchers in S
94、pain and England found that the worms of the greater wax moth(大蜡螟) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯), which accounts for 40% of plastics.That is to say, part of plastics can be consumed by this kind of worms. The team left 100 wax worms on a plastic shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed a
95、nd broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their massapparently broken down
96、 by enzymes(酶)from the worms stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology.Federica Bertocchini, coauthor of the study, says the worms ability to break down their everyday foodbeeswaxalso allows them to break down plastic. Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, th
97、e carboncarbon bond, is there as well, she explains. The wax worm developed a method or system to break this bond.Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared
98、with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify where the enzyme comes from. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her teams findings might one day help
99、 make use of the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial processnot simply millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.28. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They can cons
