27、y day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products. A San Francisco start-up company called Rothys, however, turns this plastic
28、 waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Rothy Martin is the companys co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for your feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press it through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are
29、then combined, or knit together. This is done by a three-dimensional knitting machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted fabric and the inner part of the shoes are then attached to the shoes outer part, called the sole. This outer sole is also made from environmental
30、ly friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber. Rothys shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs.

32、 shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.

36、essed us for centuries. They are big, clever, and sociable. But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer (癌症)?People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer, even though they have lifespans (寿命) that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70
37、 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) from developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an antitumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans,
38、only carry one copy.According to the research, which was recently published on the online science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gene improved the animals sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An inc
39、reased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals，” study author Dr. Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell (细胞) has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with long lifespans like whales and elephants should hav
40、e a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice do. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This_phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Petos paradox”. Evolutionary (进化的) biologists believe it
41、 results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephants case, the making of TP53 is natures way of keeping this species alive.The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance (抵抗) as elephants. Th
42、is means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers from spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer, ” said Joshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.“Its
43、up to us to learn how different animals tackle (处理) the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”32Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?AThey have a large body size.B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.D. They carr
44、y many genes that keep tumors from developing.33According to Dr. Vincent Lynch, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A. A risk of deadly tumors.B. Human behavior.C. Extreme weather.D. Cells killing themselves.34What does the underlined expression “This phenomenon” in the sixth para
45、graph refer to?A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.C. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they have.D. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones do.35We can conclude from the last three paragraphs that _.A. h
46、umans are expected to stop cancer in the near futureB. depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancerC. this new treatment is more effective than the present onesD. the TP53 genes have proven useful in stopping cancer in mice第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 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。
