I used to have a motorcycle ()One Sunday in summer,my 10-year-old daughter and I went for
a ride in the countryside.We took the back roads to a park where the view was fantastic!The wind was
strong enough to give more pleasure to riding the motorcycle.
Halfway through the park,the motorcycle was out of gas and stopped working,leaving my daughter
and me,20 miles from home,hopeless.
Along came a motorcyclist.He slowed,got off his motorcycle and asked what the problem was.He
had long hair and didn't look kind.Some people would have looked at him and said,"Oh,one of those
unpleasant people."But I've known many people like him,both good and bad,so I hoped that he was
among the good ones.
When I told him about our trouble,he offered to help.I rode his motorcycle with my daughter and he
pushed my motorcycle.Through hard work,we finally reached a small town next to the park.
On those days,most gas stations were closed on Sunday.They included the station in the town.My
new friend jumped on his motorcycle to search for an open gas station.Before long,he was back with
some gas for my motorcycle,and we were on our way again!Without accepting my payment for the gas
he'd bought for us,he just rode away

Have you ever savored the convenience of takeout?In today's fast-paced world,busy students and
professionals increasingly rely on delivered meals packed in plastic containers-quick fixes for lunch
breaks or late-night cravings.
However,a new Chinese study reveals that frequent use of plastic takeout containers may elevate
congestive heart failure risk by affecting gut bacteria and causing inflammation ()The
research combines human population analysis and animal experiments to investigate how plastic chemicals
impact heart health.
The study used two main steps to explore the link between plastic containers and heart disease.First,
researchers checked the plastic takeout container use of over 3,000 people in China and compared it to
their heart health records.They found that people who frequently used plastic containers had a higher risk
of heart failure.Next,they tested this connection on rats.Scientists prepared water by boiling it in plastic
containers for 1,5,or 15 minutes to imitate real-life situation like making hot drinks.When plastic is
heated,it gives off tiny harmful particles-previous studies found microwaved plastic containers can give
off millions of these particles per square centimeter.The rats drank this contaminated water for months.
By examining the rats'waste,the researchers discovered changes in gut bacteria and increased chemicals
related to inflammation and damage to rats'heart tissues.Surprisingly,heating the containers for 1 minute
or 15 minutes caused no difference in harm severity.

While the study didn't identify exactly which chemicals in plastic caused the problems,it highlighted
known harmful substances like BPA,which are common in food packaging and linked to cancer and other
health issues.This research emphasizes the dangers of heated plastic and its potential impact on heart
health.
This study adds urgency to reducing plastic food contact.Public health experts recommend avoiding
microwaving plastics,using glass or stainless-steel alternatives,and transferring takeout to non-plastic
containers.Though individual avoidance remains challenging,the findings highlight systemic needs for
safer food packaging policies.With over 20,000 chemicals in plastics-many untested for long-term
effects,researchers call for stricter industry regulations to protect circulatory health.
28.Why does the author mention the takeout at the beginning?
A.To describe a phenomenon
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To show the benefits of takeout.
D.To promote a kind of life style.
29.According to the research findings,which is NOT related to heart failure risks?
A.The length of plastic's heating time.
B.The frequency of exposure to plastic.
C.The materials of the containers
D.The temperature of the plastic containers.
30.What does the underlined word"contaminated"mean
A.clean.
B.cold.
C.warm.
D.polluted.
31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Additional evidence for the research results.
B.Practical guidance of the research findings.
C.A further explanation of the research methods.
D.A potential limitation of the research process.

When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples (from endangered animals in 1972,he
didn't have a firm plan on what to do with them.As a researcher at the University of California San Diego,
he believed that one day these samples would be used to save these animals.A few years later,he moved
期末考试试卷第3页共6页
his collection to the San Diego Zoo,and called it the Frozen Zoo.
For a long time,it was the only project of its kind;however,in recent years,similar conservation
efforts have spread globally,and tools that Benirschke didn't have are now available.Today,the Frozen
Zoo is the world's largest animal cryobank(),holding samples from over 10,500 individual animals
from 1,220 species,in the hope that one day science can bring them back as a species.
The Frozen Zoo's advanced technology is the key to its success in saving species from extinction.By
using cryopreservation techniques,the zoo can store cells and tissues from endangered animals.The stored
genetic material can be used for research,breeding (programs,and even cloning or genetic
engineering to restore endangered species one day in the future.
By protecting the genetic heritage of endangered animals,the Frozen Zoo provides hope for the
survival of species that would otherwise be at risk of dying out,and the preservation of Earth's precious
biodiversity.It has inspired the establishment of similar cryobanks worldwide,expanding efforts to
conserve endangered species.These cryobanks contribute to the global network of genetic resources,
improving cooperation and knowledge exchange.By demonstrating the potential of technology in the
preservation of biodiversity,the Frozen Zoo serves as a powerful tool in raising awareness and driving
change.
The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule,preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for
future generations.It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world
that could otherwise be lost forever.
32.What do we know about the Frozen Zoo?
A.It is the world's oldest and largest animal cryobank
B.It started with a detailed plan led by Kurt Benirschke
C.It is a project to explore the origin of animal species.

C.By keeping their genetic material for further research.
D.By improving breeding techniques to increase their population.

How to make the world a wonderful place
When it refers to the people who had helped to make the world a wonderful place,will you only think
of famous scientists or great leaders?That is not all the facts.36 An act of kindness can bring a
smile to a person's face even if only for a moment.
Give away your money.
37 For example,if you want to help hungry children,you can
try to find an international organisation that provides food for those in poor areas.Every cent you give
away will mean a lot.
Help a stranger.Your small actions can brighten the day of others.Hold the door for someone whose
hands are full.Help the blind cross the street.38The key is expecting nothing in return for your
acts of kindness
Care about those you know.Show the people close to you how much you care about them.Tell them
they mean a lot to you.Make a beautiful gift for a friend.Take your husband to his favourite fun place if he
has had a hard week.39
Be grateful to others.Have you had good service in a restaurant?Thank the waiter.Do you have a
very good neighbour who is always there when you need her?Tell her how much you appreciate her being
in your life.
40_
If a friend needs skill in a certain area,offer your advice.Perhaps she is struggling to
set up a computer,and you know how to do that.Offer whatever ability you have,but always remember to
be polite.
A.Keep walking forward.
B.Share your knowledge.
C.Small steps,not big once.
