However, the creatures may get a better life they are now set to join the war on plastic wastes.Federica Bertocchini is a Spanish scientist. When shes not working in her lab, Bertocchini keeps bees. One day, when she looked at her hives(蜂箱), she found dozens of caterpillars called waxworms(蜡虫). These insects are often used to feed fish. In the wild, however, they live in beehives, feeding on the wax that bees use to build their honeycombs(蜂巢). Bertocchini picked out the caterpillars and put them in a plastic bag. Surprisingly, when she returned to the bag after cleaning out the hives, she found it full of holes. The worms had eaten their way out.Bertocchini came up with an interesting question: Were the waxworms digesting(消化) the plastic? Then she got in touch with peers at the University of Cambridge, Paolo Bombelli and Christopher Howe. According to their paper in Current Biology, some chemical or combination of chemicals within the insects can really break down plastics.Bertocchini and her colleagues discovered that it took a waxworm about 12 hours to eat up a milligram of plastic shopping bag. However, the scientists warned that it would be at least several years before they release(释放) waxworms into the environment. They want to know if the insects are using the plastic as a food, or just because they want to escape. If they just want to escape, they are going to get fed up very soon. But if theyre using it as an energy source, its a completely different game. Another question lies in the insects feces(粪便). If the feces turn out to be poisonous, then there will be little point in pursuing(追究) the matter.Its certainly not going to be the case that within six months weve solved the worlds plastic problem, said Howe. l wouldnt want people to think that within a few months, they can start throwing away plastic bags without worrying about it.（1）Which of the following statements about waxworms is true? A . They are often chosen as food for fish.B . In the wild, they often live with bees in peace.C . They were kept in the beehives by Federica Bertocchini.D . They live in beehives in order to have enough honey for food.（2）We can learn from the article that Federica Bertocchini . A . is an expert on beesB . works as a bee-keeperC . has long wanted to solve the worlds plastic problemD . found waxworms unusual abilities quite accidentally（3）What will Bertocchini and her teammates do next? They will release waxworms into the environment. They will take a close look at waxworms feces. They will find out how waxworms digest plastics. They will figure out why waxworms eat plastic bags.A . B . C . D . （4）We can infer from Christopher Howes words in the last paragraph that he believes . A . it is impossible to solve the worlds plastic problemB . the worlds plastic problem will be solved within a yearC . people should not throw away plastic bags everywhere even if there is a way to solve the worlds plastic problemD . people should send their plastic wastes to researchers if they want to help solve the worlds plastic problem15. （6分）阅读下面三部分内容，从各小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答问题所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。C“I cant see clearly, because I dont wear my glasses today.” We always hear people saying something like this. Glasses are very important to many people. Do you know how they were invented and developed?Glasses took a long time to develop into what you can find in the glasses store today. The Chinese first used colored glasses as fashion. They thought that those glasses had magic, but they didnt think that glasses could help eyes to see clearly.In 1262, the inventor, Roger Bacon, discovered the amazing function(功能) of lenses(镜片), and he thought that glasses could be used to help people to see. Twenty years later, in Florence, Italy, the inventor, Alessandro di Spina, made the first pair of glasses that could help people to see.Although these glasses worked, scientists didnt understand how glasses helped eyes to see. They thought that eyes sent out light onto whatever a person was looking at, and then the light came back to the eyes. Johannes Kepler finally found out how glasses worked.Inventors continued to improve glasses. In 1784, Ben Franklin created glasses that had bifocal(双焦的) lenses. Many years later, in 1827, George Airy made circle-shaped glasses to correct astigmatism, an eye problem that stops the eyes from seeing things clearly.（1）When the Chinese first used colored glasses, they thought _.A . glasses could help eyes to see clearlyB . glasses were in styleC . eyes could send our light onto glassesD . glasses could help with eye problem（2）_ made the first pair of glasses that could help people to see.A .
