19、 having a surprising environmental impact. Take water. The fashion industry, one of the worlds largest users of water, consumes anywhere from 20 trillion to 200 trillion litres every year. Then there are microplastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) and other polymer-based
20、 textiles, and make up between 20% and 35% of the micro plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to w
21、ork harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy. That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. Theres a big role fo
22、r research-both academic and industrial-in achieving these and other ambitions.Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling. Undoubtedly, used textiles go to landfill in part because th
23、ere are relatively few systems that collect, recycle and reuse materials. Such recycling requires the manual separation of fibres, as well as buttons and zips. Different fibres are not easy to identify by eye, and overall such manual processes are time-consuming. Machinery is being developed that ca

But these are nowhere near the scale needed.Another challenge for researchers is to work out how to get consumers and manufacturers to change their behavior. Other rese

Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Say no to the so-called fast fashion B. Address the challenges
29、 for researchersC. Embrace more of the circular economy D. Cut fast fashions environmental impactDQuantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. Ive also had e
30、xchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in qu
31、antum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they cant k
32、eep. “Whats new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their works potential
33、. If researchers cant keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “quant
34、um stands for something cool you shouldnt be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016.
35、 Taylor shares Johnsons concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin (幅度)” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve
36、 otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims? I dont know. Im certainly not going to advise my frien
37、d or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.12Regarding Johnsons concerns, the author feels _.A. sympathetic B. unconcerned C. doubtful D. excited13. What leads to Taylors optimism about quantum computing?A . His dominance in physics. B. The competiti
38、on in the field.C. His confidence in PyQuantum. D. The investment of tech companies.14. What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Open. B. Cool. C. Useful. D. Resistant.15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor?B. Is Q
39、uantum Computing Redefining Technology?C. Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being?D. Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Resolving(解决) Conflict in FriendshipsConflict is surely a common problem in life and frien

They always attempt to resolve things the day it happens so that in the morning, its a fresh start with no past grudge(怨恨) . Ive found I need a short cool down period so that I dont act in anger. 17
42、 Whatever you do, dont let things ride for too long.18 Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over, you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits. For example, you might be a leade
