• 2．    Heavy clouds threaten rain，but this doesn't seem to weaken the spirits of the gardeners who are cheerfully weeding in a community vegetable garden which lies deep inside Manguinhos，previously a rubbish dump.
      The Manguinbos garden is part of the Hortas Cariocas project （Carioca Gardens）.Launched in 2006 by Julio Cesar Barros，an agriculturist who works for the government，the project now includes 55 gardens that are located either in schools or in "vulnerable" neighborhoods，such as favelas （棚戶區(qū)）.The gardens produce organic food that is then supplied to feed low-income families around.
      Barros explains that the expansion of the largest garden which will benefit five nearby favelas is under way.It will follow the same model as existing gardens.Each of the five favelas will provide a team of local gardeners.Half of the produce must be donated locally，but the team is then free to sell the other half，adding to the salary they receive.
      Hortas Cariocas is run and funded by the government，but each garden is tended by a group of locals who receive a small salary：for their work!The favela residents involved in the gardens are nevertheless enthusiastic about the project's other benefits，such as education and bringing people happiness.I always tell people，Hortas Cariocas' dis the name of the project，but its surname is " Saving Lives"，says Ezequiel Dias Areas，who manages the team of gardeners in Manguinhos.Dias Areas was unemployed for five years before getting involved in 2013.Without the garden "today I might be doing something illegal，I might be dead，I might be in prison"，he says.
      Douglas dos Santos，a 30-year-old father-of-four，tells his story. "I feel valued，" he says，explaining how he learned about agriculture via the project.Despite his pride，dos Santos isn't blind to the project's shortcomings.He readily admits that juggling a pleasant relationship with the favela's residents' association is no easy task.
  
  （1）Where may the vegetable gardens be？

  
  A．In some football pitches.
  B．In Barros' neighbourhood.
  C．In low-income communities.
  D．In local government yards.
  （2）What can we learn about Hortas Cariocas？

  
  A．Benefits of it are many-sided.
  B．Local gardeners work for it for free.
  C．The produce is sold by the government.
  D．It is financially supported by the locals.
  （3）What is challenging for the project？

  
  A．The shortage of the gardeners.
  B．The profits it made is so limited.
  C．This project is rejected by the locals.
  D．It's hard to keep a pleasant relationship with the favela's residents' association
  （4）What is Santos' attitude towards the project？

  
  A．Negative
  B．Suspicious
  C．Objective
  D．Not clear

• 3．Microbiologists have designed a sustainable way to remove polluting microplastics from the environment by using bacteria.Initial design as it is，it paves the way for sustainably lowering plastic pollution levels and stop the"plastification".
     Bacteria naturally tend to group together and stick to surfaces，and this creates a sticky material called"biofilm".Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University （PolyU） want to use this adhesive bacteria character and capture microplastics in polluted water to form an easily disposable and recyclable blob（團(tuán)）.
     Sylvia Lang Liu，microbiology researcher at PolyU and lead researcher on this project，together with his team，has engineered a bacterial biofilm，which can fix and absorb microplastics floating around in the water，and make them sink to the bottom of the water.Then the researchers can separate the microplastics from the bacteria traps and get them ready to recycle.
     Microplastics are the plastic fragments，usually smaller than 5mm，which are accidentally released into the environment during production and breakdown of grocery bags or water bottles，or during everyday activities such as washing synthetic （合成的） clothes or using personal care products with scrubbing microbeads in them.Microplastics are visually tiny，making it challenging to develop effective solutions to trap，collect，and recycle them.
     Microplastics are not easily biodegradable （生物降解的） ，so they stick around for long and absorb and accumulate poisonous chemicals.They spread into wastewater and into the oceans，endangering marine animals and even usually threatening human health，.Microplastics had be on found in more than 114 species living in the water and also salt，lettuce，apples，and more in 2018 according to the International Maritime Organization.
     "This is an innovative application of biofilm engineering to address the plastic pollution crisis，" said Dr Joanna Sadler，researcher at University of Edinburgh，who was not involved in this study."One of the biggest challenges in dealing will microplastics is capturing such small particles Liu and co-workers have demonstrated an elegant solution to this problem，which holds great potential to be further developed into a real-world wastewater treatment technology，"
  
  （1）Which of the following best explains the underlined word"adhesive" in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．Floating.
  B．Sticky.
  C．Diverse.
  D．Visual.
  （2）Why are microplastics hard to capture？

  
  A．They are visually too small.
  B．They are hard to biodegrade.
  C．They continue to exist for long.
  D．They are poisonous chemicals.
  （3）What can be learned from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Small particles are essential to address water pollution .
  B．Biofilm has been widely used to settle plastic pollution.
  C．Sadler thinks little of the biofilm engineering application .
  D．Biofilm application is promising for wastewater treatment.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．Microplastic removal.
  B．Uses of bacteria.
  C．Wastewater treatment.
  D．Plastic pollution.

      Phillip didn't understand why Dad wanted Grandpa to leave his home.The next day，Phillip decided to find out what was happening with Grandpa.Phillip bit his lip and moved closer to ask the most important question： "Where is Gerry now？" Grandpa frowned， "It's been forty-five years，and I still haven't heard from him，but I haven't given up hope either.I know my friend will contact me one day by radio at a specific frequency. " Phillip nodded.He felt that Grandpa was telling the truth.
      After listening to Grandpa's stories about his friend Gerry，Phillip returned home feeling better about Grandpa's health.However，that evening，Phillip suddenly heard that the doctor would arrive a few minutes before seven o'clock.This time，he realized he needed to take action.
      At about seven o'clock，the doctor and David peered into the sitting room and watched Jack sit down and turn on the radio.The static （電流聲） was loud enough to hear in their hiding spot.The doctor turned to David. "It seems you're right about your step-father's state of mind，" he said.
