Sand is a common sight in the world. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).

Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.

Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.

But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things.

People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.

If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction　　 (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.

Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats　　 (栖息地) of many plants and animals.

1.What does the story tell us about sand?

A.It can only be found on beaches. B.It is the most-used resource in the world.

C.It can never be used up. D.It can be used to build houses.

2.According to the passage, which country is using sand to build islands?

A.Singapore and Vietnam. B.Singapore and United Arab Emirates.

C.Britain and America. D.United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.

3.Every year, we use about________tons of sand.

A.94 million B.20 billion C.20 million D.15 billion

4.We are running out of sand because________.

A.there is only a little sand in the world B.we are using sand too quickly

C.we cannot mine enough sand D.our environment is badly polluted

5.In places close to the sea, more floods will happen because of________.

A.overmining of sand B.climate change

C.the increasing size of certain islands D.the death of some plants

Do you know about bio-plastic（生物塑料）？It is a kind of plastic. but it is not the same as normal plastic. Normal plastic is made from chemical materials and takes a very long time to degrade（降解）. But bio-plastic is good for the environment. it is made by using bacteria（细菌） to process（加工）natural sources like vegetable oils, corn or sugar. It can degrade more easily.

But there is a problem with bio-plastic. The "food" that bacteria eat is what we eat. This means that bacteria are competing against humans for the same resources.

Now scientists have found a new way to make bio-plastic－using two kinds of bacteria and sunlight. According to Newsweek.

One of the bacteria can use sunlight to produce sugar. The other land eats the sugar and produces polymers(聚合物）. Polymers are used to create bio-plastics. The way the bacteria store polymers is similar as humans store fats.

The new way to produce bio-plastic has many advantages. It is 20 times faster than the normal way we produce bio-plastic. Moreover, using these two bacteria saves resources.

The next problem scientists face is that they want to put their tab research into real-world practice. By doing this, bio-plastic made with these two bacteria can be widely produced in the future.

1.According to the passage, which is TRUE about bio-plastic?

A.It is bad for the environment.

B.It's made from chemical materials.

C.It is a new kind of bacteria.

D.It can degrade more easily.

2.What does the phrase "The food" underlined refer to?

A.Normal plastic. B.Normal bacteria. C.Salty waters. D.Natural sources.

3.From the passage, which is the correct order to make bio-plastic?

a. eating the sugar

b. creating bio-plastics

c. producing polymers

d. using sunlight to produce sugar

A.a-d-c-b B.a-d-b-c C.d-a-c-b D.d-c-a-b

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A.A new kind of plastic. B.A new way to produce bio-plastic.

C.A way to store fats D.A way to produce two kinds of bacteria.
