A new chemical technology could turn the world's polyolefin (聚烯烃)waste, a form of plastic, into useful products, such as clean fuels and other items."Our method is to recycle by turning polyolefin waste into a wide range of valuable products, "said Linda Wang, a professor at Purdue University and leader of the research team developing this technology."Our technology has the potential to promote the recycling industry and a decline in the world's plastic waste."The technology can change more than 90 percent of polyolefin waste into many different products. Wang became inspired to create this technology after reading about the plastic waste pollution of the oceans, groundwater, and the environment. Of all the plastics produced over the past 65 years(8.3 billion tons), about 12 percent have been burned and only 9 percent have been recycled. The remaining 79 percent have gone into earth or the oceans. The World Economic Forum TAL#NBSP presages that by 2050 the oceans will hold more plastic waste than fish if the waste continues to be thrown into the water.Wang said the technology could change about 90 percent of the polyolefin plastic."Plastic waste, whether recycled or thrown away, does not mean the end of the story, "Wang said."These plastics degrade(降解)slowly and release harmful chemicals into the land and the water. This is a disaster, because once these pollutants are in the oceans, they are impossible to remove completely."Wang hopes her technology will help the recycling industry to reduce the rapidly rising amount of plastic waste. She and her team are looking for investors or partners to apply this technology.(1) What does the underlined word "presages" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Describes.B. Knows.C. Explains.D.

Changing Polyolefin into Plastics4、【来源】 2019年贵州高三下学期高考模拟(D篇)第12~15题8分(每题2分)Almost all calligraphy(书法)lovers agree that writing characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture, but also oneself. But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400- character handwritten resume. A survey by HorizonKey, covering people from 12 major cities in China, found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience "character amnesia(遗忘)", with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyin - based Chinese language input method, which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke(笔画)by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency, as there are dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.Education is another problem. In college, most homework and papers are printed out, instead of handwritten. And few teachers use chalk and blackboards, with Microsoft's PowerPoint the most—often used software to teach knowledge to students.The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Students pay more attention to remembering a character's pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which - dictionaries rarely provide .Another worry is the "pollution" of Chinese characters by Internet language. Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing.(1) With the example of a college graduate, the author shows.A. that practicing can improve writingB. why certain people are poor writersC. that there are differences in students' writingD. why Chinese character handwriting is in great danger(2) By saving "… those interviewed often experience 'character amnesia (遗忘)'", the writer means those interviewed.A. are not good at handwritingB. can't write characters accuratelyC. show no interest in handwritingD. find jobs much more difficulty(3) What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 5?A. Dependence on electronic devices.B. Advantaged of electronic dictionaries.C. Mastery of knowledge of the characters.D. Disadvantages of published dictionaries.(4) What's the writer's attitude towards the Internet language?A. Favorable.B. Uncaring.C. Disapproving.D. Friendly.二、七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)5、【来源】 2019年贵州高三下学期高考模拟第16~20题10分(每题2分)The small habits really damage the wallet.
