Throughout the world, only 15% of the material that are used to make clothing is properly recycled, according to the Alle SacUrthur Club, an organization in Liverpool, UK, that boosts the circular economy. Most clothing waste—an     1    (estimate) 82 million tonnes from the fashion industry alone-produced every year ends up buried or burnt.

    2    (handle) all that waste, methods to recover and reuse the material are intended as an active response to the future risks by researchers and start-up companies. Much of their focus is on chemical recycling,     3     the material is broken down into its building blocks and applied to create new materials, including fibres that     4     (weave) into new clothes. The challenges lie in     5     (develop) the processes for such treatment. They have to be practical, but they also have to be at least as cost-effective as simply making new fibres.

    6     the natural cellulose fibres from cotton, some other materials include human-made cellulosic fibres. They are derived from wood-pulp cellulose and may be used to produce materials such as viscose (rayon) and a similar material called lyocell.

A change in the manufacturing process is being applied to the textile-waste problem by Essen, a start-up in Seattle, Washington.     7     the company has fundamentally devoted to the process is that it uses discarded textiles, instead of wood, as the source of its cellulose. It has also adjusted the process to produce a fibre that the firm’s co-founder and president Christo Stan says is superior to     8     other cellulosics and cotton, and that can be recycled more times.

Although there are abundant technical challenges, the main barrier     9     widespread textile recycling could be economic, says materials engineer Lijiang Jiang at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Atlanta. “Most of the materials are not that invaluable,” Jiang says. So cheap it is to produce polyester, cotton and other fabrics     10     there’s little profit margin unless the recycling processes themselves are very inexpensive.

We have reached peak screen. Now revolution is in the air.

Smart phones were once the best thing to happen to the tech industry. In the 11 years since the iPhone made its debut (初次登台), smart phones     1     (include) just about every other gadget. And it is surprising that it should alter every business.

But     2     smart phones have achieved dominance, revolution is again in the air.

At Google’s and Apple’s recent developer conference, executives took the stage to show how much more irresistible they were making our phones. Then each company unveiled the software     3     (help) you use your phone a lot less.

There’s a reason for this seemingly contradictory engineering effort, and it’s     4     I call “Peak Screen”.

For much of the last decade, a technology industry     5     (rule) by smart phones has pursued a singular goal of completely     6     (conquer) our eyes. Tech has now captured pretty much all visual capacity. Americans spend three to four hours a day looking at their phones, and that’s the minimum estimation.

So tech giants are to build the beginning of something new: a     7     (visual) tech world, a digital landscape     8     relies on voice assistants, headphones, watches and other wearables to take some pressure     9     our eyes.

We may simply end up adding new devices to our screen-added lives,     10     it could change everything again. As I argued, in many ways screens have become too dominant in our lives. The sooner we find something else, the better.

Bioprinting is medically and bio-technologically similar to 3D printing. By using the same principles, the aim is to     1     (rapid) develop living structures similar to human—grown organs and tissue that can be used to treat people or test new drugs. Bioprinting maybe a relatively new field but the results so far are     2     (encourage).

Australian researchers have used neural cells in a custom-made bioink to create a “desktop brain”     3     allows doctors to test brain function, new drugs and study brain disorders. Meanwhile, medicine scientists in the US have created a bioprinter able     4     (construct) ear, muscle and bone structures with the right size,     5     (strong) as well as function for implantation (植入).

One of the primary goals of bio printing is to create functioning organs, for example, hearts.     6     printing compatible (兼容的) organs using a patient’s own cells, the donor     7     (wait) list could become a thing of the past. To get to this point there have been some important breakthroughs in printing vascularized (血管化的) tissue in complex 3D shapes.

Organ printing can improve     8     health of society in general by wiping off the problem of diseases     9     (cause) by organ failure, costly treatments and social care. That promise maybe years away from realization but rapid typing enabled by bioprinting at present     10     (push) medical advances forward at pace.

A model of China's future double-decker bullet train (双层动车) was displayed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences on Monday, with experts     1     (say) it could reach very high speeds.

Zhang Weihua,     2     bullet train expert, told Science and Technology Daily that the double-decker bullet train will be able to run at the same top speed as a fast single-deck train. But an important problem     3     needs to be solved is that it may lose stability when turning at     4     (extreme) high speeds. But he believes that once design and technical problems such as the train's high center of gravity and large passenger capacity (容量)     5     (solve), the     6     (safe) will be fine when the train operates at proper speeds. Recently Germany and France     7     (plan) to use double-decker technology in the next generation of high-speed trains     8     the goal of improving passenger capacity and economic effectiveness.

China's double-decker bullet train, which is made     9     (aim) at the international market, will have a base speed of 160 km/h. However, when fitted with core components (核心组件) designed according to the current standards for high-speed trains, it will be capable of much     10     (high) speeds.
