PFAS are found in nonstick pans,water-proof fabrics and food packaging.They’re called forever chemicals because of their ability to stick around and not break down.Now,using a bit of heat and two relatively common compounds,researchers have degraded(降解)the chemical in the lab.
While some scientists have found relatively simple ways of breaking down select PFAS,most degradation methods require harsh processes using intense pressure—in some cases over22mega-pascals—or extremely high temperatures—sometimes upwards of1,000℃—to break the chemical bonds.
William Dichtel,from Northwestern University in Evanston,and his team experimented with two substances found in nearly every chemistry lab;sodium hydroxide(氢氧化钠),also known as lye,and a solvent(溶剂)called DMSO.The team worked specifically on a group of forever chemicals which contain a large percentage of PFAS.
When the team combined chemicals with the lye and DMSO at120℃and with no extra pressure needed,the carbolic acid(羧酸)fell off the chemicals and became carbon dioxide.“What happened next was unexpected,”Dichtel said.The loss of the acid helped degrade the chemicals into fluoride ions(氟离子)and smaller carbon-containing products,leaving behind no harmful by-products.
“It’s a neat method;it’s different from others that have been tried,”says Chris Sales,an environmental engineer at Drexel University in Philadelphia who was not involved in the study.“The biggest question is how this could be adapted and scaled up.Understanding this mechanism is just one step in undoing forever chemicals,”Sales said.
This process wouldn’t work to deal with PFAS in the environment,because it requires a concentrated amount of the chemicals,but it could one day be used in wastewater treatment plants, where the pollutants could be filtered out of the water,concentrated and then broken down.
28.What can we learn about the previous ways to break down PFAS?
A．They’re eco-friendly.B．They’ve been widely used.
C．They’re difficult to operate.D．They’re regarded as useless.
29.What did the team do in their experiment?
A．They experimented with different solvents.
B．They tried two very common substances.
C．They tested every group of forever chemicals.
D．They exposed chemicals to extreme temperatures.
30.What made the researchers most surprised in their experiment?
A．Environmentally-friendly reactions occurred.
B．The carboxylic acid became carbon dioxide.
C．No extra pressure was needed for the trial.
D．The lye and DMSO could work at120℃.
31.What can we infer from Chris Sales’words?
A．It is difficult to deal with PFAS in the environment.
B．This mechanism will soon be used in the environment.
C．The method will be applied to different kinds of chemicals.
D．More research is needed before the method is widely used.
D
The idea that the normal human body temperature is about37℃was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in1851.Since then,it’s become so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator of whether someone is sick or well.However,it turns out that this well-established fact isn’t,in fact,correct—or,to put it more accurately,human beings have been getting cooler over the years.
Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended to run low compared to the accepted norm(标准),so the Stanford team,led by Julie Par-sonnet,MD,professor of medicine and of health research and policy,decided to do a more in-depth study to compare modern measurements with historical records to try to identify body temperature trends and,perhaps, uncover the reason why this cooling is happening.
For their research,the Stanford team looked at three distinct data sets from two historical
periods.After going through677,423temperature measurements,the team found that men born in the21st century had an average body temperature of0.6℃lower than that of those born in the early 19th century while modern women showed an average decrease of0.03℃compared to those born in the1890s.
As to why this is happening,the researchers say that the most likely mechanism is a reduction in the human metabolic rate(代谢率)due to environmental factors:One possibility is that improvements in public health over200years have reduced the incidence of inflammations(炎症), which promote metabolism.This combined with people living more comfortable lives in more stable environments means that the body doesn’t have to work as hard to stay warm,so the average temperature falls.
“The environment that we’re living in has changed,including the temperature in our homes,our contact with microorganisms(微生物)and the food that we have access to.All these things mean that although we consider human beings as the same for all of human evolution,we’re not the same. We’re actually changing physiologically,”Parsonnet said.
32.What is Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich’s achievement?
A．He set up standards for human health services.
B．He predicted trends in human body temperature.
C．He first used body temperature as a health indicator.
D．He proposed the standard human body temperature.
33.What can we learn about the Stanford team’s study?
A．It shows women have a lower body temperature than men.
B．It proves human body temperature has dropped at a faster rate.
C．It compared historical and current human body temperature data.
D．It suggested updating the definition of the average body temperature.
34.Which of the following is thought to cause the decrease in human body temperature?
A．The improved living conditions.
B．The contact with other creatures.
C．The decline in physically demanding work.
D．The adaptation of humans to climate change.
35.Which one could be the best title for the text?
A．What exactly is normal human body temperature?
B．Why does human body temperature need measuring?
C．Human body temperature has decreased over the years
D．Human body temperature changes with the environment

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

You will be leaving this school at the end of this year and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is,“So,what do you want to be?”36But many of you still don’t have a clue!Here are some things you might want to consider.
First,does the career you are considering have staying power?Will it be in demand in20years? Rapid technological change is disruptive(破坏性的).37While many occupations are being taken over by new technology,jobs that require high-level of critical thinking,emotional intelligence and human interaction,remain in high demand.These jobs are more adaptable and not easily replaced by machines or technology.
Second,choose a career that interests you.Some people might think this is unimportant,but if you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won’t seem a chore.It’s also likely that you will stay and grow in this career.Before making a choice,you should examine your values,skills and personality type.38
Third,of course you will want to consider your chosen profession’s earning power!Although high pay plays a part,you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require more time to get to the top,much more effort and a higher level of stress.39If you have interests outside of work,or are struggling with other demands in your life,you might want to choose a less taxing line of work.
40Let me leave you with an old saying,“Choose a job you love,and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
A.We need to be forward-looking at our future prospects.
B.Some of you may have already decided on a career path.
C.Trying different work can help you find out your favorite job.
D.This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you.
E.Only the truly motivated will likely be able to meet these challenges.
F.People’s wages are lower in industries with slow technological change.
G.Thinking about a life-long career at this stage in your life is surely challenging.

A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach.I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house.The year before,I had lost my job,and now our financial situation was depressing.Finally,I had put the home on the market.Even worse,I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane(大丹犬),Brigitte,because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it.The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in discouragement,I sat typing up my application letters.Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son,Forrest,as he lay on the carpet,playing near our big,gentle Brigitte.It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived.I ran to the door but no one was there.I sensed something and looked down,only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there,looking up at me with big,intelligent eyes.Perhaps,someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there,and then rang the doorbell and ran away.They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these,I couldn’t help sighing and went straight back to work.However,I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly,I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen.In panic,I opened the door and ran outside.
注意：
