When most kids go to the beach, they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing

around to notice litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw

sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet.

Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature. He grew up

fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from

land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.

He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to

a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian

conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in

different counties, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope

to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U.S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to

inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and

the ocean,” Cash said. 江苏省海安高级中学景苏华 QQ:771515126

Cash was selected as one of America's top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential

Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a

$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth

Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.

“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because

if you are connected to the ocean—if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he

said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”

4. Which can replace the underlined words "sit back" in paragraph 2?

A. Fall asleep. B. Lose heart.

C. Turn a blind eye. D. Lend a hand.

5. What is the purpose of staring the Cleanup Kids?

A. To recycle waste plastics.

B. To make instructive videos.

C. To spread marine knowledge.

D. To appeal for ocean protection.

6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?

A. Sympathetic and devoted. B. Initiative and talented.

C. Ambitious and humorous. D. Determined and modest.

7. What does Cash Daniels’ story imply?

A. Passion fuels dreams. B. Great minds think alike.

C. Helping others is of great fun. D. Actions speak louder than words,

To reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of

soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing

cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean

exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of

soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.

One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc, funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce

its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant

into sustaining photosynthesis( 光合作用) for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately

producing more oil as well as more protein.

Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for

expanding green fuel supplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to

fuel with lower carbon emission. S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel

reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of

sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared

with just 182 million gallons a year now. 江苏省海安高级中学景苏华 QQ:771515126

Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the

bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread

adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that

hasn’t yet proven is benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic

recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.

Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with ZeaKal, agreeing to pay farmers

a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of

is higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look

the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become

more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of

ZeaKal. “That’s a very dramatic shift.”

8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?

A. By planting more soybeans.

B. By banning soybean exports.

C. By fertilizing soybean fields.

D. By engineering soybean genes.

9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figures in paragraph 3?

A. The continuous use of the fuel.

B. The growing demand for biofuel.

C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.

D. The fierce competition between companies.

10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?

A. Companies. B. Farmers. C. Scientists. D. Governments.

11. Which can be the best tile of the text?

A. Biofuel; A New Way to Cut Down Carbon Emissions

B. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future Fuel

C. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans lo Altered Ones
