Question

8．Plastic bags that can help bread and cheese remain fresh for a long time have been developed by scientists．The technology，which uses chemicals that prevent bacteria and fungi （真霉） from growing，allows food to last longer．It could put an end to throwing away supermarket bread after just a couple of days in the bread bin and cheese that goes mouldy after just a few weeks．
The company，Janssen，has spent two years developing the technology with the plastics manufacturer，Symphony Environmental．They are now in discussion with several food factories and supermarkets about using the bags for their products．The technology could also be used to make credit cards and the new plastic bank notes more hygienic （衛(wèi)生的）．Tests have shown that the plastic can increase the shelf life of bread and cheese without letting the food go bad．Michael Stephen，director of Symphony Environmental，said the plastic also has the potential to do the same for fruit，vegetables and even meat．He said，"we have come up with a way of making the plastic that is antibacterial and that can be used in food wrapping．We have done a lot of tests on food packaging which have shown such plastic can reduce the mould that grows on both bread and cheese．"
In Britain，around 15 million tons of food is thrown away each year，mostly because it has spoiled or gone bad．Bread is the most wasted food，with families throwing away 4.4 million tons a year-about a third of all the bread purchased by UK families．Tesco，Britain's biggest supermarket，revealed last month that almost half of the bread sold in its stores ended up in the bin．
The technology developed by Janssen and Symphony，which they have called D2P，fixes antibacterial and antifungal chemicals to the plastic．They have found it can control bacteria which can cause food poisoning．It can also control the growth of fungi on bread and others．
Mr．Stephen added，"Initially we expect that it is only used in pipes and door handles，for example，to help reduce the spread of bacteria．It can also be put into man-made fibers so we are doing some experiments to put it into clothes to stop the bacteria that can cause them to smell．"
59．What would happen when people use the plastic bags produced by Janssen？C
A．The sales of bread and cheese would increase soon．
B．Bread and cheese could be stored in a fridge for years．
C．Bread and cheese could be kept for a longer time．
D．Supermarket bread and cheese would be on sale earlier．
60．Why does the writer mention the problem in Britain in Paragraph 3？D
A．To criticize the behaviour of the British．
B．To show the popularity of bread．
C．To criticize the increasing waste of bread．
D．To show the short shelf life of bread．
61．It can be concluded from Mr．Stephen's words thatA．
A．more daily uses for this technology are expected
B．this technology is only used used in pipes and door handles
C．man-made fibers should be improved by this technology
D．people's preference for this technology cannot be expected
62．The passage can be classified asB．
A．a(chǎn)n annual review                B．a(chǎn) news report
C．a(chǎn)n advertisement                D．a(chǎn) travel guide．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了史蒂芬先生的新發(fā)明，他發(fā)明的塑料袋可以增加面包和奶酪的保質(zhì)期，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)可以控制細(xì)菌引起的食物中毒，也可以控制面包上其他真菌的生長(zhǎng)，預(yù)計(jì)將會(huì)有更多的日常用品使用這種技術(shù)．

解答 59．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第二段Tests have shown that the plastic can increase the shelf life of bread and cheese without letting the food go bad．可知使用由詹森制作的塑料袋時(shí)會(huì)使面包和奶酪保存較長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，故選C．
60．D  推理判斷題，根據(jù)第三段In Britain，around 15 million tons of food is thrown away each year，mostly because it has spoiled or gone bad．Bread is the most wasted food，with families throwing away 4.4 million tons a year-about a third of all the bread purchased by UK families．可知作者提到了英國(guó)的問題是為了向我們說明面包的保質(zhì)期很短，故選D．
61．A  推理判斷題，根據(jù)最后一段Mr．Stephen added，"Initially we expect that it is only used in pipes and door handles，for example，to help reduce the spread of bacteria．It can also be put into man-made fibers so we are doing some experiments to put it into clothes to stop the bacteria that can cause them to smell．"可知斯蒂芬先生的話向我們說明預(yù)計(jì)將會(huì)有更多的日常用品使用這種技術(shù)，故選A．
62．B  文章出處題，通讀全文可知本文中作者向我們介紹了史蒂芬先生的新發(fā)明，因此推知本文屬于新聞報(bào)道，故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
