27、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Lego recently announced that they will start producing pieces from sustainable sugar cane. The toys, which will be indistinguishable from classic Legos, will also feature botanical elements like leaves, bushes, and trees. 【1】.

“We want to make a positive impact on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials,” said Tim Brooks, vice president, environmental responsibility at the Lego Group, in a statement. “This is a great first step inour ambitious commitment of making all Lego bricks using sustainable materials”.

【2】. It is a soft, durable and flexible plastic - technically identical to those produced using conventional plastic. Lego says that we needn’t worry about the quality of the new products, as they’ve tested the plant-based plastic to ensure that it meets the high standards for quality and safety that consumers expect from the company.

【3】. Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new elements, because plant-based polyethylene has the same proterties as conventional polyethylene.

The move is part pf Lego’s campaign to use sustainable materials in its core products and packaging by 2030, a move in which they have already invested $165 million. According to a research report, 4% of the world’s petroleum is used as a raw material to make plastic, and another 4% is used in the plastic-making process. 【4】. With this in mind, Lego has partnered with WWF to play their part, joining the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance(BFA), which supports the responsible development of plastic made from plant material.

The LEGO Group’s decision to pursue sustainably sourced bio-based plastic represents an incredible opportunity to reduce dependence on limited resources, and their work with the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance will allow them to connect with other companies to continue to think creatively about sustainability.

A. With the latest learning toys, construction toys and more, your little ones can enjoy endless hours of imaginative play.

B. LEGO products have always been about providing high quality experiences giving every child the chance to shape their own world through creative play.

C. Lego’s current bricks are made from oil-based plastics.

D. Since plastic is so common and so non-eco-friendly, finding ways to replace it is extremely important.

E.The new line of production has reportedly already started with pieces being produced from polyethylene(聚乙烯).

F. The overall design of the space is a modern and mature interpretation of a youthful brand.

28、Why does Haiti so tend to have fatal earthquakes? Earthquakes have been causing huge damage in Haiti since at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has been no more kind.

The Earth’s outer shell is made tip of tectonic plates (构造板块) that move. Haiti sits near the crossing of two tectonic plaits that make up the Earth’s outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction (摩擦力).

Haiti is also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes. Those buildings can survive strong winds bat are easy to fail down when the ground shrikes. Poor building practices can also play a role.

“I think it’s important to recognize that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster,” said Wendy Bohon, a geologist. “What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know that earthquakes like this can cause huge damage because of the fault,” said Wendy. “And it’s quite a significant risk in places that don’t have the construction practices to resist the shaking.”

Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge in Haiti, which is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. “While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so,” said Mark Schuller, a professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies at Northern Illinois University. Haiti’s government has become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.

“There is technical knowledge in Haiti, There are trained architects. There are city planners. That’s not the problem,” Schuller said. “The problem is a lack of funding for coordination (协调), and lack of political will from donors to organizations providing aid.”

【1】Which factor causing the huge damage is highlighted?

A．Its overpopulation.

B．Its weak government.

C．Its geographical location.

D．Its weak architecture system.

【2】What does the underlined part “the fault” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Lacking political will to provide aid.

B．Lacking hurricane-resistant; buildings.

C．Lacking earthquake-resistant buildings.

D．Sitting on the crossing of two tectonic plates.

【3】What’s Schuller’s attitude towards Haiti’s government?

A．Supportive.

B．Critical.

C．Indifferent.

D．Interested.

【4】Which of the following can be a problem according to the last paragraph?

A．Fund and will.

B．Skilled architects.

C．Urban designers.

D．Technology and money.
