A
A full moon is appearing—and it will have a big impact on animals, especially those in the ocean.
Recent studies show that many types of animals have biological clocks finely tuned to the cycles of the moon, which drives interesting and sometimes strange patterns of behavior.
Besides discovering hidden aspects of animal life, the research also has intention of better understanding the circadian clocks(生物钟)present in all animals, including humans.
The first circadian clocks evolved in the oceans, so studying them in ocean animals can tell us a lot about how they evolved and how they work and interact with each other, explains Kim Last, a researcher at the Scottish Association for Marine Science.
Oysters(牡蛎), which open their shells to eat and spawn, also have a lunar rhythm, a new study shows.
In a recent experiment, French researchers carefully monitored how widely a dozen oysters opened their shells during a 3.5-month period. The team used a high-tech device that quantified the valve opening every two seconds, as described in a paper published in the journal Biology Letters.
They found that two types of oysters in Arcachon Bay in southwestern France were significantly more open during new moons and more closed when the moon was full. In addition, the oysters could tell the difference between the first quarter moon and the third quarter moon, and were significantly more open (by nearly 20 percent) at the latter.
It’s unknown why the oysters do this, though it could be due to more algae(海藻) or other food being available during the new moon and as the year progresses, says study leader Damien Tran, a researcher at the University of Bordeaux.
The lunar cycle could influence food availability by its impact on the tides and thus the ocean’s currents. When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more pronounced tides, explains David Wilcockson, a ocean biologist at Aberystwyth University in Wales who wasn’t part of the study.
1、Where did the earliest life forms probably evolve?
A．In the tides. B．In the oysters.
C．In the moon. D．In the ocean.
2、Based on the observations, what is the likely order of when the oysters are most open and most closed?
①The new moon; ②The full moon;
③The first quarter; ④The third quarter
A．①-②-③-④ B．①-②-④-③
C．①-④③-② D．①-③-④-②
3、What is it that leads to the huge tides?
A．A strong pull. B．A straight line.
C．The lunar cycle. D．The ocean’s current.
4、Why are oysters mentioned as an example?
A．To explain why they open their shells.
B．To further stress the moon’s impact on animals.
C．To show the difficulty of science experiments.
D．To introduce how the high-tech device is used in experiments.

B
A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.
Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 4 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 Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.
Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.
For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.
1、How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?
A．They are buried or burned.
B．They are used to make shoes.
C．They are changed into soft materials.
D．They arc returned to factories for reuse.
2、What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?
A．Attached. B．Fixed.
C．Combined. D．Repaired.
3、Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?
A．The design and color. B．The reasonable price.
C．The company’s advertisement. D．The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.
4、What is the purpose of the text?
A．To advertise a new kind of shoes.
B．To describe the process of making shoes.
C．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.
D．To stress the importance of environmental protection.
