DThose in post-secondary institutions. They say everything is bigger in Texas. While that may be true,

8、 some of the best things in Texas are quite small. Case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an intention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and its worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born

9、in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbors, Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you cant easily find in bi

10、g cities. “People are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says, “We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 1

11、00 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion, a Coffee Ladies meet-up, or a work session for the local genealogy（家谱） group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount

12、Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an a

13、rmy of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-bound neighbor and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help rebuild.4What does the author think of Mount Vernon?ARemote. BWealthy.CPrimitive. DAttractive.5Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?AHe preferred the simple and natural

14、 life. BHe could continue his language teaching.CHe could live together with his ancestors. DHe could meet more neighbors of his age.6What can we infer about peoples way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?AIt is in danger of extinction. BIt is quickly changing over time.CIt is conservative but

15、 harmonious. DIt is being disturbed by the outside world.7What is the last paragraph mainly about?AThe history of Mount Vernon. BThe humanity of Mount Vernon.CThe volunteers of Mount Vernon. DThe reconstruction of Mount Vernon. Andrew Orkin was taking a break from his evening jog to sit by Prospect

16、Park Lake when he was frightened to see a mass of snakes. They turned out to be swamp eels（黄鳝） that had escaped from one of two large plastic bags that split open as a man dragged them to the shoreline. After dumping the eels in the lake, the man walked away, explaining to bystanders that “I just wa

17、nt to save lives.”The illegal release became a curiosity on social media, but the dumping of exotic（外来的） animals in urban parks isnt new. New Yorkers free thousands of non-native animals every year. “People like animals and they sometimes think theyre doing a good thing by letting them go,” said Jas

18、on Munshi-South, an urban ecologist at Fordham University. “Most will die. Some will become a problem, and then theres no going back.”New York state and city officials say its too soon to know how the eels in Prospect Park might affect local species. The eels eat almost anything including plants, in

19、sects, frogs, turtles and other fish. And they could prey（捕食） upon or compete with the parks native species for however long they survive.There are no plans to eradicate the eels. Since theyre active at night and spend most of their time in the mud of lakes and rivers, spotting and removing them fro

20、m the lake could be impossible. Officials say they will look for swamp eels during the agencys next survey in the spring, but dont expect them to make it through the winter. However, University of Toronto freshwater ecologist Nicholas Mandrak said, “Even if they dont survive, they could have negativ

21、e short-term effects.”8Why did the man pour the eels into the lake?ATo challenge the law. BTo increase the local species.CTo keep the eels alive. DTo become a web celebrity.9Why did the released eels become a concern?AThey might get caught once again.BThey might not adapt to the new environment.CThe

22、y might frighten the joggers by the lake.DThey might pose a threat to local species.10What does the underlined word “eradicate” in paragraph 4 mean?AGet rid of. BLook after.CSell. DExamine.11What is the officials opinion about dealing with the problem?AIt is risky. BIt is tricky.CIt takes patience.

23、DIt requires legal support. The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme（酶） PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six times faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and redu

24、ce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic（热塑性塑料） used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating

25、 a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection

26、between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Gregg Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chatting about how PETase attacks the surface of

27、the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort we were delighted to see that

28、 our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining

29、it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducin

30、g our reliance on fossil（化石） resources.12What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?AIt doubles the breakdown of plastics.BIt takes hundreds of years to break down.CIt contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.DIt deals with the plastic waste three times faster.13What is the second paragrap

31、h mainly about?AA new study of PET. BThe breakdown of PET.CThe discovery of PETase. DThe functions of PETase.14What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?ACo-leading the trans-Atlantic team. BCombining PETase and MHETase.CAttacking the surface of the plastics. DTalking about conducting experiments.15What can we infer from the text?APET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with.BNew enzy
