UNIT 12 单元仿真验收性评价 (时间：100分钟 满分：120分) 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Last Friday, Britain's Prince William announced the winners of this year's Earthshot Prize. The prize is meant to encourage new ideas and rapid action to help protect the planet. Below are parts of this year's prize winning projects in each category. Protect and Restore Nature Kheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse in a box” idea. Kheyti is already working with 1, 000 farmers across India, which is one of the most climate affected countries in the world. The company says the greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. Kheyti hopes to get its greenhouses to 50,000 farmers by 2027. Clean Our Air Charlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. Ms Magayi developed a stove (炉子) that uses a fuel that's cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently, over 200,000 of her Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya. Build a Waste Free World A London based company called Notpla (for “Not Plastic”) won the prize for building a waste free world. They've created a plastic substitute (替代品) from plants found in the ocean. Unlike most plastic, their products break down naturally with no microplastics. Notpla believes their products can help end the plastic pollution that's filling landfills and polluting oceans. Fix Our Climate The Earthshot Prize for working toward fixing our climate went to a company called 44.01 from Oman. 44.01 has come up with a way to turn polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) into a rock called peridotite. Once the CO2 has been turned into rock, it can no longer be released into the atmosphere again. The method that 44.01 uses is fast, cheap and permanent. 1．What is the aim of the Earthshot Prize A．To offer practical advice on global warming. B．To find solutions to the environmental problems. C．To develop a strategic partnership with all parties. D．To encourage literary creations of the British people. 2．Where are Kheyti's greenhouses widely used A．In India. B．In Kenya. C．In the UK. D．In Oman. 3．What do Charlot Magayi and 44.01 have in common A．They want to build a waste free world. B．Their projects are directly good for farmers. C．Their achievements benefit the air cleaning. D．They use plants from the ocean in their products. B Marie Curie is remembered today for her pioneering work on radioactivity, which not only earned her two Nobel Prizes but also the recognition as the “mother of modern physics”. But while her research into the radioactive elements polonium and radium may have secured her a lasting scientific legacy, those same substances have also had a lasting effect on her body. Then, in 1911, after much personal tragedy (Pierre Curie had died suddenly in 1906), Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for ... ...
