While the source of the waves remains unknown, some suggest the mysterious bursts of energy could be a sign of alien

25、life trying to contact us. The waves were detected by researchers from McGill University in Montreal.The detection follows 11 previously recorded fast radio bursts (FRBs) from the same location, called FRB121102. This is the only known repeater of FRBs. Although there have been a number of FRBs from

26、 the site, the origin of the radio bursts remains a puzzle to researchers.But the researchers say that the repeated FRBs imply that whatever is causing the FRBs is not a one-time event, such as an explosion or a collision. Instead, they say that flares (耀斑) from a young neutron star (中子星) are a prom

27、ising candidate.Previously when waves have been detected, astronomers have also asked Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) to take a closer look at whether they could be a message from aliens. But it is unclear whether the researchers will ask SETI to help this time.If there were any inte

28、lligent alien life forms out there, in Stephen Hawkings opinion, we were playing a dangerous game by trying to contact them.

Instead, everything can be reused and recycled, creating products that never reach their “end of life”. According to a recent report by the Circle Economy Foundation, only 7.2% of a

33、ll used materials are being cycled back to be reused and recycled without creating waste.An Italian company aims to change this by creating furniture products made from a plastic-like biomaterial, which is fully organic and biodegradable (可生物降解的), and can be used over and over again. Using fruit pee

34、l, orange seeds and coffee grounds collected from businesses in Italy, the company can redistribute products to the same businesses for use in their offices, instead of furniture made from common plastic. If, by mistake, any of the material ends up in the ocean, it doesnt produce any microplastics.E

35、ach product is made through a four-step process. First, the food waste is dried and crushed into a very fine powder. Then, the powder is mixed with a biodegradable plastic alternative known as polyhydroxybutyrat (PHB), with the fruit waste making the PHB more study (坚固的). The material is then turned

36、 into a filament (细丝) and, using a spool, put into a 3D printer.Because a lot of food waste would be buried and incinerated in the landfill, which would produce lots of carbon dioxide, Reusing fruit peel and coffee grounds decrease carbon dioxide from the production of plastic, according to the dire

37、ctor of operations in the company. He adds that the biomaterial is as sturdy as wood, and wont begin to break down unless its touched by water, bacteria or acidity.Despite its eco-friendly benefits, the biomaterial is expensive. It costs probably six times more than common plastic, and it is a very

38、difficult and expensive process, so this is why many companies arent doing it.However, the director is hopeful that in a few years, as-more consumers and businesses are forced to face the damage that unsustainable plastic is doing to the planet, the biomaterial will be much more widely used. “We rea

39、lly believe this is the material of the future,” says the director. “Little by little, a step at a time.”32What is a problem faced by the current world according to paragraph 1?APollution is becoming milder.BThe rate of recycling is too low.CPlastic poses a threat to the ocean.DNew material needs to

40、 be improved.33What do we know about the biomaterial?AIt is of benefit to the environment.BIt is cheaper than common plastic.CIt is given a welcome by businesses.DIt has gradually replaced common plastic.34What does the underlined word “incinerated” in paragraph 4 refer to?ADamaged.BBurned.CSelected
