　　In your life, you may have many unforgettable events like wining a prize, going aboard ... __14__

　　I was always dreaming of swimming like a fish! At that time, I was so jealous when I saw people swimming. __15__ Later, one summer afternoon, I followed my school buddies to a river, accompanied by my brother. I remember how eagerly I kicked off my shoes and jumped into the cool water. Truthfully, I was not sure what to do but struggle in the water.

Realizing that I was safe and well, I burst into tears.

　　__16__ I went for another try with my brother. But I feared that I would never become a good swimmer. I stepped carefully into the swimming pool but when the water came up to my stomach, I lost my balance again and fell into the water. I found myself further away from my brother than I thought. The king of Terror was approaching! Desperately, I kept my eyes wide open and tried to seize my brother by the arm, once, twice, three times...I was shouting and waving my arms exhaustedly. At last, my brother was able to reach out his hand to touch me. I got saved again.

　　__17__ But motivated by the desire to swim, I made my third attempt. I felt my legs paralyzed(瘫痪)on the bank when I faced the big swimming pool. Watching the happy swimmers in the water, I was inspired. Why not have a last try? I took a deep breath and confidently went forward. As I was going deeper into the water, I made great efforts to control my thoughts, so I could keep the balance. __18__ I was able to swim! Yes, I was able to swim! All of a sudden, a feeling of satisfaction was running high.

　　A．But for me, the most unusual event is learning how to swim.

　　B．I would never go swimming again after two unpleasant experiences.

　　Plastic is one of the most important technological discoveries of the 20th century.However, German scientists are certain that this material may soon be replaced.The new development—liquid wood—can replace plastics in all branches of modern industries.

　　Plastic as a material enjoys the biggest demand in the modern world, but it does have a number of disadvantages.First, plastic is not recyclable.Second, it contains poisons that can cause cancer.Finally, plastic is made of oil, which is not endless.

　　The liquid wood technology is able to replace plastic and providing mankind with new materials for many years ahead.Arboform is a new material, which can be got from soft tissues(组织) of wood.Once mixed with several other ingredients(成分), it turns into solid and non－poisonous material.

　　The wood－working industry separates wood into three basic things including lignin(木质素), which is not used for the production of paper.Specialists of the Faunhofer Institute mixed lignin with several natural materials and thus invented the material which could be melted and moulded(铸造)．

　　When solid arboform looks like plastic and possesses the qualities of wood, it can be used for the production of any items.

　　Arboform is already used for the production of car parts.However, the new invention does not enjoy a wide use due to the high content of sulphur(硫) in it.German researchers believe that they will be able to reduce the amount of sulphur by 90 percent very soon to make arboform usable for home needs.

　　In addition, liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly.The analysis of arboform showed that the material had all of its qualities even if it was reprocessed ten times.

　　【语篇解读】　尽管塑料是20世纪最重要的科技发明之一，但德国科学家确信它很快就会被一种新型原料所代替，你知道这种原料是什么吗？

　　21．From the passage we learn that liquid wood ________．

　　A．has replaced plasticB．is made from natural oil

　　C．has been widely used in householdD．can be recycled repeatedly

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly可知D项正确。]

　　22．It can be concluded that German researchers will focus their future work firstly on the ________．

　　A．material's wide useB．content of sulphur in arboform

　　C．production cost of arboformD．qualities of liquid wood

　　答案　B　[根据文章倒数第二段可知，如果用liquid wood代替塑料，科学家首先考虑的是应该如何去除liquid wood里面高含量的硫。]

　　23Which of the following is NOT true?

　　A．Lignin contains poisons that can cause cancer.

　　B．Plastic does harm to our society in many ways.

　　C．The liquid wood helps to protect our environment

　　D．Arboform isn't usable for home need at present.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。文章中没有介绍木质素有致癌的毒素。]

　　24．The best title of the passage should be ________．

　　A．Plastic Has a Number of Disadvantages

　　B．A New Material—Plastic

　　C．Liquid Wood to Replace Plastic

　　D．How to Protect Arboform

　　答案　C　[主旨大意题。本文主要说明了一种新型材料liquid wood将会代替塑料，所以C可作文章的标题。]
