[解析]
(1)写作意图题。由第一段中However,Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self﹣heal and remember past shapes. (然而,东京大学的日本科学家开发了一种新的塑料材料,这种材料更容易分解,可以自我愈合并记住过去的形状)和下文段落对这种新型环保材料优点的介绍可知,第一段目的在于引出本文的主题﹣﹣﹣一种新型环保塑料材料。故选C。
(2)词句猜测题。由第二段中Once scratched with a knife,it can completely patch itself up after being heated to 150 ℃ for just 60 seconds.When shaped into the shape of a crane,then flattened,it can fold itself back into the crane shape by being heated up. (一旦用刀刮伤,加热到150℃只需60秒,它就可以完全patch itself up。当它被塑造成鹤的形状,然后被压平时,它可以通过加热将自己折叠回鹤的形状)和第四段中It can also repair itself,and can recover its original memorized shape. (它还可以自我修复,并可以恢复其记忆中的原始形状)可知,这种新型环保塑料材料通过加热能回到之前的形状,结合选项,可推断出一旦这种新型环保塑料材料被刀刮伤,加热到150℃只需60秒,它就可以完全修补,划线词意为"自行修复(Repair itself)"。A.Change itself改变自我;B.Repair itself自行修复;C.Shape itself塑造自我;D.Burn itself燃烧自我。故选B。
(3)细节理解题。由第三段中It biodegraded by 25% and released molecules (分子) that are essential food for marine life. (它能生物降解25%,并释放出海洋生物所必需的食物分子)和第四段中It even biodegrades safely in a marine environment,according to Shota Ando,a researcher of the study. (该研究的研究员Shota Ando表示,它甚至在海洋环境中安全地生物降解)可知,新型环保塑料材料能给海洋生物提供所必需的食物分子,在海洋中安全地生物降解,它对海洋中的动物来说是安全的。故选A。
(4)标题归纳题。由第一段中However,Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self﹣heal and remember past shapes. (然而,东京大学的日本科学家开发了一种新的塑料材料,这种材料更容易分解,可以自我愈合并记住过去的形状)和下文段落对这种新型环保材料优点的介绍可知,本文介绍了一种新型环保塑料材料及其优点,D项"一种新型环保塑料"符合文意。故选D。
