21、   A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.

Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.

A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy's, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how ihey turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers arc then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe arc then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底).This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly  material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.

Rolhy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future." When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled material to make other products.

For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.

【1】How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?

A. They are used to make shoes.

B. They are buried or burned.

C. They are changed into soft materials.

D. They are returned to factories for reuse.

C. Spotted. D. Repaired.

【3】Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?

A. The design and color.

B. The reasonable price.

C. The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.

D. The company's advertisement.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A. To advertise a new kind of shoes.

23、   As a Hollywood film star in the 1930s and 1940s, Hedy Lamarr at one point was called "the most beautiful woman in the world." What she was less known for was her scientific intellect.

Lamarr had a natural curiosity about the world around her. As young as age 5, she would spend time taking apart and rebuilding her music box to understand how it worked. But her technical mind was overshadowed by her looks-at 16, she got her  first film role and quickly became an international icon.

As her acting career continued to take off during World War II, Lamarr became restless, feeling that she should do more to contribute to the Allies' war efforts. Together with her friend Antheil, Lamarr came up with a groundbreaking new form of wireless communication known as spread spectrum(光谱).The concept was to create a wireless signal that could hop from frequency to frequency, making it impossible to track or jam.They received a patent for their technology in 1942, but the military refused to implement(实施) it in their war effort.

The technology sat unused for years, until one day the military revived it in the 1960s and the system "spread like wildfire."It became the backbone of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and a range of wireless communication mechanisms we rely on today.By the time the technology was implemented, Lamarr's patent had been due, and she never received a single payment for her revolutionary invention.

Hedy Lamarr played the role she was expected to play in Hollywood — a beautiful object to admire on the big screen.If she yielded to society's expectations in other ways, communication as we know it could look completely different today.

【1】What was special about Hedy Lamarr?

A.She was the most beautiful woman in the world at one time.

B.She was a naughty girl when she was young.

C.She was gracefully beautiful as well as scientifically intellectual.

D.She decide to quit her acting career after World War II broke out.

【2】What was the main reason for Lamarr to invent spread spectrum?

A.She was no longer a popular actress.

B.She wanted to make some contribution to the Allies' war efforts.

C.She was out of condition and couldn’t continue her acting career.

D.Her friend Antheil asked her to do so.

【3】When did Lamarr’s patent come into use ?

A.During World War II B.In 1942

C.In the 1960s D.In recent years

【4】Why did the author write the text?

A.To remember a great inventor. B.To introduce an invention.

C.To encourage women to invent. D.To stress the importance of Lamarr’s invention.
