  those microbes could be identified，we could put them to work eating the plastic much （8）

  exposed to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.The inputs are cheap：maintaining the required temperature （14）

  little energy because microbes produce heat as they work，and the only outputs （15）

  water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.

三、阅读（共两节，满分30分）第一节 阅读理解（共3小题；每小题10分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

• 3．Since the beginning of history，man has been fascinated by the idea of living forever，of winning the fight against death and disease.So far，this has only remained a dream，though a very powerful one.Many people have wondered if it would be possible to find a way to preserve （保存） human bodies，and what would be the best way to preserve human bodies.
     It has long been known that meat and fruit can be kept fresh for long periods by freezing；in ancient China，for example，food was stored with ice to keep it fresh.This method could also be useful for preserving humans and in fact many people have explored this possibility.
     However，most living beings that exist under warm conditions die when frozen.This is because of the harmful effects of freezing ice crystals，which are not only larger than the volume of the water originally in the cells，but also from sharp cutting shapes that harm the cells.
     In the 1940s Dr B.J.Luyet and a group of scientists in England were working on the problem of freezing cells without damaging them.Since the harm caused by ice crystals was the main cause of damage，Luyet suggested removing some or all of the water from the cells before freezing them.
     Using living cells from chicken，Luyet and his assistants discovered that they could partly dry the chicken cells，using a mixture of the white part of an egg and glycerin，a clear thick liquid made chiefly from fats and oils.Some success was obtained.The chicken cells were dried，frozen for a period of time，and then carefully unfrozen.
     Almost all the cells recovered when they reached normal temperatures.Since then，the cooling of whole animals to a temperature very much below freezing point for later unfreezing has become more of a possibility，and the glycerin method would probably be used to accomplish this.When this can be done completely and successfully，science will have moved much closer to its aim of freezing and storing incurable able patients until the day they can be cured.
  
  （1）It seems that the idea of preserving human bodies

  B

  .
  A．is important
  B．comes from that of storing meat and fruit fresh by freezing
  C．is quite fun
  D．doesn't make any sense
  （2）From the fact that most living things existing under warm conditions die when frozen，the scientist realize that

  C

  .
  A．living things cannot be frozen actually
  B．it is impossible for them to freeze human beings
  C．the water from the living cells should be removed
  D．cells cannot recover when they are carefully unfrozen
  （3）Glycerin can be used

  A

  .
  A．to remove water from living cells
  B．to unfreeze living cells
  C．to freeze living cells
  D．to change the shape of crystals
  （4）What is the passage mainly about？

  D

  
  A．The harmful effects of freezing food.
  B．How to preserve food.
  C．How to remove water from living cells.
  D．The exploration of preserving human bodies.
  （5）What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word "fascinated"？

  A

  
  A．attracted
  B．freed
  C．afraid
  D．sad
