Now the Argentine artist is working with a new material: waste masks from the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病）to create an exhibition exploring the painful impact of the virus.Toledo, who has made decorations for the musical “Evita” on Broadway,was among the first in Argentina to be infected(感染）by COVID-19,which left him in hospital for eight days. The experience led to a series of artworks, including a 14-meter mask with the Argentine flag that he placed on the famous Obelisk in Buenos Aires to raise awareness of organ donation(器官捐赠）during the pandemic.For his new exhibition, the Museum of the After,Toledo is collecting recycled coronavirus waste which is sent by hospitals, laboratories and people,including old material parts and newspapers about the pandemic. “I am excited to be able to change pain into beauty and this exhibition is just recording everything that is happening to us as a society,” Toledo said. The artworks,which will go on show from September in a public space, will all be made from waste materials or garbage that people send him.In the exhibition,there will be a real ship that will symbolically(象征地） cross a“storm”to raise awareness of the importance caring for the environment. “The exhibition will tell the story of this ship that went on sailing after the storm, which is a great symbol for what is happening to us.This pandemic is a great global storm,” Toledo said.As with the huge mask, which was copied in countries such as the United States and Japan, the artist hopes to copy the exhibition in other cities around the world.24.What caused Toledo to make the 14-meter mask?A.His stay in hospital.B.His fear of COVID-19.C.His experiences in Broadway.D.His research on organ donation.25.What is special about the artworks in the Museum of the After?A.They were collected by people.B.They were exhibited in hospitals.C.They were made out of used things.D.They were produced in public places.26.What is Toledo trying to express by the ship crossing a storm”？A.Humans are fighting against the storms bravely.B.We should make every effort to beat the pandemic.C.Our irresponsible behavior leads to natural disasters.D.The COVID-19 pandemic brings us a lot of suffering.27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.A real ship turns pain into beautyB. A lucky artist survives COVID-19C.An exhibition displays a huge maskD.An artist turns pandemic waste into artCThe British lave their supermarkets. And there are more and more of them every year.But is this a good thing? Not necessarily.For a start, supermarkets have a negative effect on local communities. Money spent in independent small shops usually stays in the area. However, money spent at supermarkets is often put into the bank accounts of distant shareholders(股东），some of whom dont even pay any tax(税）in the UK!Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare(福利、关心）。The UK has high standards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal (违法的）in the UK.But once theyve got the meat,supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there.Dishonest?Not exactly, but it isnt entirely true either!Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too. Many of them dont store food products themselves as storage space is expensive, so they get food producers to do it for them. This means that supermarket trucks have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn,this increases the amount of petrol used, which leads to more pollution. In fact, the average item of food from a supermarket travels over 1,000 kilometres. Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging, which isnt good for the environment either.So,what can be done to help the small shops? Not much really. Supermarkets have a lot of power.Many political parties(政党）receive donations from supermarkets and supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions.For example, just before the millennium (the year 2000), one supermarket gave the government 12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later, plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.Supermarkets are good news for shoppers looking for a bargain, but theyre definitely bad for local business, animals and the environment!28. Why are supermarkets in the UK bad for local communities?A. They refuse to employ local workers B.They take money away from the locals.C.They drive small shops out of the area.D.They pay more tax than local companies.29.What is the problem with the meat at supermarkets?A.It is often priced dishonestly.B.It may be packed under poor conditions.C.It is sometimes produced illegally in the UK.D.It may be below UK standard for animal welfare.30.How do supermarkets affect the environment?A. They cause too much food wasteB. They reuse a lot of plastic packagingC.They occupy much land-as storage space.D.They carry food over long distances by truck.31. What does the author think of political parties in the UK?A.They are heart-broken.B.They are money-driven.C.They are open-minded.D.They are strong-willed.DWe use a huge amount of single-use plastic each year-we buy one million plastic bottles each minute around the world.Plastic waste,a material that can take centuries or more to disappear, is causing great damage to the planet.However,plastic waste produced in many countries typically ends up in open, uncontrolled landfills(垃圾填埋池），most of which finally enters the ocean either by wind or through waterways.Now,Nzambi Matee,a 29-year-old woman from Nairobi,Kenya,is dealing with this global, crisis by recycling bags,containers, and other waste products into bricks(砖头）used for construction projects.Before founding her company -Gjenge Makers,Matee worked as an oil-industry engineer.After seeing plastic waste along Nairobis streets,she decided to quit her job and built a small lab,testing sand and plastic combinations(结合）Matee managed to study in the materials lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she in the end developed a machine that produces the new bricks.Made from a combination of plastic and sand,the bricks have a melting point higher than350 and can be used for a longer time than traditional bricks. Matee and her team gain muchof the raw product from factories and recyclers, and sometimes its free, which allows thecompany to reduce the price point on the product and make it more affordable for schools andhomeowners.There is waste that recyclers cannot deal with anymore. That is what we get,”Matee said. Her factory produces 1,500 bricks each day,made from a mix of different kinds of plastic.These are polyethylene(聚乙烯）used for milk bottles,sandwich bags, and ropes. But she does not work with polyethylene terephthalate or PET,commonly used for plastic bottles,which can be made into the same form easily again and again.The plastic waste is mixed with sand,heated and then pressed into bricks, which are sold at different prices,depending on thickness and colour.32.What does Paragraph 1 mainly focus on?A.The ways of finding single-use plastics.B.Our dependence on single-use plastics.C.The wide spread use of plastic products.D.Our irresponsible behavior in using plastics.33.What caused Matee to make the new bricks?A. Her job as an oil-industry engineer.B.Her determination to go to university.C.Her awareness of plastic waste problems.D.Her research project in the university lab.34.What are Matees bricks like compared to traditional bricks?A.They take less time to make.B.They bear much more weight.C.They stay in good condition longer.D.They change their colors more easily.35.What do we know about PET bottles?A.They are easy to recycle.B.They are few in number.C. They are mixed with sand.D.They are difficult to deal with.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Lets face it: Nobody really likes doing chores (家务）around the house.But at a certain age, our kids are old enough to start lending a hand with the housework. 36_ But what exactly are the benefits that young children and teenagers get from doing chores?Chores help teach life skills.
