Of these mils, 100 million users were “post 1990s”.Museum IP, considered to be an intangible cultural asset

20、, is now attracting great interest from Chinas younger generation. In 2013, the Forbidden City Museum in Beijing first requested product design ideas from the public for a cultural and creative design competition.

Even in 2017 the museum earned more than 1 billion RMB through cultural and creative products.After witnessing the huge commercial potential of cultural and creative products, many other Chinese museums have followed th

22、e Forbidden City Museums example. In July, Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province removed the cover on Sanxingdui masks, with toy character designs inspired by Sanxingdui cultural relics.

26、seum cooperated with Chinese beauty brand Pechoin.CThe Forbidden City Museum requested product design ideas from the public.DThe Forbidden City Museum has achieved economic success in cultural products.In 2019, the world generated 54.6 million tons of e-waste. However, just 17.4 percent of it was fo

27、rmally collected and recycled. Since 2014, the amount of e-waste recycled has grown by 1.8 million tons a relatively small amount, considering that the amount of e-waste generated increased by 9.2 million tons in the same period.Global reserves of some elements, such as platinum (铂), are supposed to

28、 be fully used up within 15 years if the proportion of recycled stocks entering production doesnt increase. E-waste and EV batteries are currently recycled through processes called pyrometallurgy (火法冶金术) and hydrometallurgy (湿法冶金术). However, they involve burning temperatures with a high energy deman

29、d and deep carbon footprint, and poisonous chemicals which are harmful lo the environment. Alternatives are therefore being sought.A team of scientists from the University of Coventry are extending one such alternative. They have been using non-poisonous bacteria to oxidize (使氧化) and recover the pre

30、cious metals a process known as “bioleaching”. They have shown that copper is widely recoverable from e-waste, and that all metals present in EV batteries can be recovered by using microbes (微生物). If extended, bioleaching facilities would mean that manufacturers of EV batteries and other electronic

31、goods would be able to recover metals locally, relying less on costly exports to recycling centers abroad.“At present, a key limitation for e-waste recycling is the lack of certification detailing the types and amounts of metals contained in electronic goods. But with an efficient recycling process

32、appearing, manufacturers have the motivation to use more recycled material in their products, which will change the very design of electronics goods. Its about closing the loop of a products life cycle,” said the leader of the Bioleaching Research Group, Sebastien Farnaud.Ultimately, bioleaching tec

33、hnology is born out of the idea of creating a truly circular process for the things that we consume. We need to shift from a mindset and economy where we see waste as an end product, to one where there isnt even a start or an end at all.12What do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate?APeople pay no

34、 attention to e-waste recycling.BThe recycling rate of e-waste is comparatively low.CE-waste has caused serious environmental problems.DThe amount of e-waste is sharply increasing every year.13What is the disadvantage of current ways of recycling e-waste?AThey only apply to certain e-waste.BThey are

35、 not environmentally friendly.CThey generate metals with a complex process.DThey cause a sharp rise in local temperatures.14What do we know about the bioleaching technology?AIt has been applied abroad.BIt releases no poisonous gas.CIt recovers metals by microbes.DIt promotes the local export trade.1

Transplanting is easy and often costs less. Yo

37、u get to watch the new growth happen up close. _16_ A garden expert and writer for the Associated Press, Lee Reich, can give you his advice.To get started with transplants, you will need a container and soil. _17_ Fill the containers with a special mix called potting soil and push it down but not to

38、o much._18_ Do this by making a small hole into the mix and put in the seeds. Cover the seeds with the potting soil and press gently again. Place the containers in a pan, or any flat, open, and larger container that could hold some water. Put water into the pan until the water reaches halfway up the

39、 containers with the seeds. After a few hours, remove them from the water.Seeds need warmth to germinate. _19_ A good average temperature for just about all seeds is about 24.Now for the exciting part waiting to see little, green sprouts! Remove all but the strongest sprout from each container. _20_

40、 Your goal now is to grow strong transplants that can survive a move to the outside garden.In four to six weeks, most transplants should be two to three times the height of their containers. They should be strong and ready to be transplanted outside or almost ready. Now. they are ready to go into th

41、e garden!AIf you are new to this type of gardening, do not worry.BYou are also an experienced gardener.CThen plant seeds, three or four in each container.DThey are used to their future environment with a week of being outside.EThe amount of warmth needed is different from plant to plant.FThe contain

42、ers should be between 5 to 10 centimeters deep.GJust be careful not to hurt the roots of the sprout that remains.三、完形填空In one Nebraska teen running race before graduating from high school, Brandon Schutts personal best turned out not to be about marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest he

43、art.During the race, he knew he had the potential to _21_ for the upcoming state meet, so he slowed to a comfortable _22_ that would allow him to simply enjoy the moment and the day.

This time hed _28_ it only 25 meters more before going down. With tremendous effort, the you

45、ng runner pulled himself up and with a(n) _29_ pace, moved forward for one final push. It wasnt enough. Less than 100 meters from the _30_ line, he lay curled on the ground. His _31_ had simply given out.Brandon Schutt, who was at his side, _32_ a helping hand. His first _33_ to get Cerveny up faile

46、d, but like Cerveny, he too refused to _34_. With a second tug (拖拽), Cerveny was on his _35_. With Cerveny holding Schutt for _36_ and Schutt helping Cerveny maintain balance, the two _37_ the Final 75 meters. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his _38_

47、a faster time.In todays competitive world in which the emphasis in athletics is so often put on breaking records, it was _39_ to see that for an athlete like Brandon Schutt, the value of true sportsmanship still had legs. And for others, like Blake Cerveny, knowing that finishing the race, no matter the odds or adversity, is the true _40_ of a win.21AlookBqualifyCsearchDobtain22AstepBraceCpaceDrun23AwinBbreakCovercomeDkeep24AextraBdownCbestDhard25AmatchedBstruggledCsensedDfailed26AEnthusiasticBDeterminedCDevotedDAnxious27AfallBstopCpauseDpush28AtookBreachedCar
