Effective monitoring of endangered species is key to their survival. Studying the 31 , range, and habits of wild animals is essential to ensure their habitat remains free from development and illegal hunters. Traditional methods of monitoring wild animals, especially large ones, include radio-tagging (无线电标记). To do this, individual animals must at first be captured so that collars can be 32 .
One organization that 33 this technique was WildTrack. In the late 1990s, the team was using radio-collars to monitor black rhinos (犀牛) in Namibia. However, the team soon realized that the chemicals used to immobilize the rhino to fit the collars 34 female fertility. Not only that but also a large proportion of the radio-collars 35 within the first 6 months and had to be replaced. 36 , as animals grew, the collars would tighten, annoying or even hurting them. The method was costly and had the unintended 37 of altering the rhinos’ behavior, making the collected data unreliable. At the same time, the team was working alongside local 38 . Animal tracking is one of the oldest human skills, and these experts have years of experience in identifying individual animals by their footprints. They could effectively create a true picture of individual rhinos’ activities without the use of any invasive (侵入的) techniques. Consequently, the team were interested to know whether the trackers’ knowledge could be effectively 39 a computerized technique for monitoring animal movement.
Within each species, each individual has its own unique foot 40 . If an animal is sighted and identified just once, and the characteristics of its footprints are properly photographed and measured, its footprint can be 41 whenever it is sighted again. If that is done repeatedly, conservationists can draw up a 42 of all, or at least a significant proportion of the individuals within the population. After that, conservationists can use it to identify an animal and its movements by its print. The data gathered can be used for a range of 43 , for example, to monitor biodiversity. WildTrack is currently using footprint identification technology in Greece to study the potential effect of a large highway construction through brown bear habitat.
Identifying an animal from its footprint is not without its 44 , however, as each time the individual places its foot on the ground, it leaves a slightly different track, according to the ground type, moisture (湿度), and movement. To account for these 45 , it is necessary to collect multiple tracks from each animal on a range of surfaces.

July 19th was a day for IT heroes. A routine software update caused computer outages in offices, hospitals and airports worldwide. Most white-collar workers looked sadly at their screens and realized just how useless they are if they cannot 46 . People in IT came to the rescue of helpless colleagues and 47 passengers. Their work that day was full of stress— but also full of meaning.
If machines can add purpose to some jobs when they fail, what about when they work 48 ? This is not an idle question, but a serious one. Discussions about A in particular easily get lost in aypotherical (假设的) debates about wholesale job losses or, worse, the nature of consciousness. But technologies tend to spread in less 49 ways, task by task rather than role by role. Before machines replace individuals, they change the nature of the work they do.
That transformation is likely to affect job satisfaction. Many employees give 50 to non-monetary rewards, such as job interest and engagement. A recent discussion paper surveyed American workers who had 51 jobs to find out whether and why they thought their new positions were better; they found that interest in the work mattered more to people than pay and benefits.
However, a study revealed a concerning 52 : Robots in industrial settings reduced the perceived meaningfulness of jobs across the board, 53 age, gender, skills and the type of work. While machines can theoretically free up time for more interesting tasks, 54 , they seem to have had the opposite effect. Why might this be? They find that industrial robots make jobs less physically demanding. But the number of tasks that remain open to humans 55 , hurting both the variety of work and people’s understanding of the production process. Work becomes more routine, not less.
However, machines don’t always have a (n) 56 impact. For example, in service industries like health care, less time spent on boring work might indeed mean more time with patients.
Consumer reactions to automation can also 57 . In an experiment to test how customers reacted to different descriptions of a cooking set, people who 58 being skilled chefs really didn’t like products that promised to do everything at the touch of a button. A technology that cuts down on boring tasks is fine; one that 59 your sense of identity is not.
While it is stil too early to know how AI will affect the quality of work, one thing is clear: machines can make employees feel 60 about their work. Introducing new technologies in cooperation with employees, rather than imposing (勉强) them, and enhancing their sense of competence are crucial. Bosses who ignore these issues are missing something meaningful.
46.A.log in B.opt out C.show off D.hurry up
47.A.stranded B.responsible C.hesitant D.embarrassed
48.A.properly B.purposelessly C.continuously D.unwillingly
49.A.accessible B.casual C.dramatic D.dynamic

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Wildlife presenter Steve Backshall said getting children connected with nature was “critical”, as he 61 (open) a new “forest school” in Northamptonshire.
Cogenhoe Primary School invited the TV star to open its site while in the county for his live show on marine life (海洋生物). Backshall spent the day 62 (show) around the new outdoor classroom. The forest school now 63 (include) an insect hotel and areas for storytelling and construction.
The primary school spent the day in learning about the planet and 64 (sustainable), as part of their “Cogenhoe Goes Wild” day. Charley Oldham, head teacher, said: “Something we are so 65 (passion) about is creating that lifelong love of natural spaces and nature. Children need the opportunity 66 (take) risks but in a safer environment to build their confidence and independence.”
While Backshall is 67 (usual) seen dealing with dangerous animals, he helped the pupils 68 something much more relaxing — cooking marshmallows (棉花糖) over a campfire.
He said: “I think it’s really critical for us to be connecting young people to nature as young as possible and experience nature in 69 really touchable way, and that’s exactly 70 this forest school does.”

The world’s first professional, multimodal large language model (LLM) for the field of lunar science has been released in China to 71 (significant) speed up the processing speed of massive amounts of lunar data.
The new tool appeared 72 the first time at the China International Big Data Industry Expo in Guiyang, Guizhou, 73 was hosted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Geochemistry and the Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group.
So far, the Institute of Geochemistry 74 (build) a comprehensive “digital moon” platform with the world’s most complete bank of data 75 (associate) with the exploration of the moon. The LLM has created a “smart brain” for this digital moon. Ku Wei, vice president of the Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, said that the LLM identifies lunar craters (陨石坑) and remembers them by size, 76 (deep) and shape to provide scientists with important bases for their study.
There are over 1 million lunar craters with a diameter (直径) of over 1 kilometer, and countless smaller 77 (one). Identifying all lunar craters would be impossible if we were to rely on manpower alone. Input an image of a lunar crater 78 the LLM will determine its shape, size and age.
The LLM is like 79 intelligent child. Scientists train and teach the child professional things. We believe it’ll continue to grow, 80 (assist) us to solve more scientific problems.
五、阅读理解(每篇10分,共 20分)
(一)
The conversational tone of an AI chatbot or voice-based assistant is a good way to learn new concepts, but it may actually make us more willing to believe inaccuracies, compared with information presented in a static (静态的) article.
To investigate this issue, Sonja Utz from Germany asked 1,200 participants to engage with one of three formats. The first involved text appearing letter by letter in the style of a large model, similar to ChatGPT; the second provided information through a voice-based device; and the third was a static, text-based copy of content.
Participants couldn’t interact with the systems as they might with the real versions, in order to keep the experience consistent across the study. In some cases, participants were given accurate information, while in others, they saw factual errors. Some of these errors were plain wrong, such as naming Sofia as the capital of France, but others involved certain statements that were contradicted elsewhere in the same response.
Participants were asked to rate the accuracy of the information on a seven-point scale, where7 is entirely accurate. In the answers where errors were introduced, the information presented in a static format was rated as 4.24 on average. The ChatGPT-like system managed 4.76, while the voice assistant scored 5.29. Participants rated all of the systems higher for answers where no errors were introduced, but the differences were smaller for the voice assistant and chatbot.
“People find conversational chat agents more convincing because humans seem to be hardwired to assign credibility to things that seem lifelike,” says Mike Katell from UK. “The way the chatbots and voice agents are programmed to use a friendly and helpful conversational tone also confuses people. Chatbot makers are trying to put users at ease, which is achieved through believable content and inoffensive delivery.”
People have learned that these models generate false information sometimes. “But people don’t realize that this interaction mode makes us tend to believe whatever is written there.” Utz says. “That should be in media literacy training.”
81.What was the main focus of Sonja Utz’s study?
A.Features of AI chatbots or voice-based assistants.
B.People’s preference for information sources.
C.Why static articles differ from conversational content.
D.How text formats influence information trustworthiness.
82.In paragraph 3, text errors in the study can be summarized as________
A.inevitable and conflicting B.minor and common
C.obvious and internally inconsistent D.repetitive and randomly selected
83.According to Mike Katell, which of the following is NOT a reason why people find conversational chat agents more convincing?
A.People’s inborn trust in lifelike things.
B.Inoffensive delivery of personalized content.
C.The chatbot’s use of a gentle conversational tone.
D.The makers’ intention to make users feel relaxed.
84.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Utz suggests people improve media awareness and competence.
B.People’s preference for lifelike things may be overstated.
C.How information is presented doesn’t affect how much we believe it.
D.The research results are uncertain due to the lack of man-system interaction.

Lately, it is getting harder and harder to find clothes that aren’t laced (镶边) with plastic. When you check a garment’s fabric composition, it’s not uncommon to be confronted by a list of scientific words, which refer to various types of plastic. However, too few realize that unless you’re paying close attention, most of your cupboard contains a whole lot of plastic. Often it is invisible, like the microplastics shed by synthetic (合成的) materials; while you may never see them, they have been found at the bottom of the ocean and in human blood.
So why do we continue to use plastics? The main reason is, of course, cost. The market price for synthetic fibers is significantly less compared to natural fibers, creating an apparent incentive for fashion brands to find ways to replace traditionally used natural fibers with synthetic ones. Moreover, making synthetic materials isn’t dependent on seasons or farms affected by rainfall or heatwaves, as is the case with cotton and wool.
You’ve likely seen a lot of brands promoting themselves as sustainable by using plastic bottles to make their clothes. But the problem is, our plastic-based textile economy has led to unsustainable overproduction of clothing that is unhealthy for our communities and our ecosystems. And plastic clothing is still going to impact our health and have a lasting effect on the environment. Textiles made from plastic fibers are responsible for microplastic fiber shedding at every stage of their lives: when they’re worn, washed, and disposed of. These microplastics enter the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Plus, clothing made from plastic bottles can actually shorten its life cycle. When a bottle is transformed into clothing, it often accelerates that bottle’s journey to the landfill because we purchase and abandon our clothing at such a rapid pace.
While the hidden story of plastic in our clothes doesn’t have the happiest of endings, we can each take measures. Reduce our overall consumption of clothing and textile products and extend the life of our favorite garment. Learning to mend can be a game-changer. When we do make textile purchases, buy and wear natural fiber products, especially those originating from land-based production systems that are working to restore and build ecosystem and soil health.
85.What can we learn about plastic from the first paragraph?
A.It is widely used in our clothes. B.It is impossible to enter our body.
C.It is a rare material for clothing. D.It is always noticeable in clothing.
86.What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Problem. B.Difference. C.Concept. D.Motive.
87.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The marketing strategies of clothing brands.
B.The sustainability of plastic bottle recycling.
C.The environmental impact of plastic clothing.
D.The process of making plastic-based clothes.
88.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.We Might Consume Too Much B.Measures Benefit Consumers
C.We Might Wear Plastic Bottles D.Plastics Promote Economy

However, the team soon realized that the chemicals used to immobilize the rhino to fit the collars 34 female fertility. Not only that but also a large proportion of the radio-collars 35 within the first 6 months and had to be replaced. 36 , as animals grew, the collars would tighten, annoying or even hurting them. The method was costly and had the unintended 37 of altering the rhinos’ behavior, making the collected data unreliable. At the same time, the team was working alongside local 38 . Animal tracking is one of the oldest human skills, and these experts have years of experience in identifying individual animals by their footprints.

Consequently, the team were interested to know whether the trackers’ knowledge could be effectively 39 a computerized technique for monitoring animal movement.
Within each species, each individual has its own unique foot 40 . If an animal is sighted and identified just once, and the characteristics of its footprints are properly photographed and measured, its footprint can be 41 whenever it is sighted again. If that is done repeatedly, conservationists can draw up a 42 of all, or at least a significant proportion of the individuals within the population. After that, conservationists can use it to identify an animal and its movements by its print. The data gathered can be used for a range of 43 , for example, to monitor biodiversity. WildTrack is currently using footprint identification technology in Greece to study the potential effect of a large highway construction through brown bear habitat.
Identifying an animal from its footprint is not without its 44 , however, as each time the individual places its foot on the ground, it leaves a slightly different track, according to the ground type, moisture (湿度), and movement. To account for these 45 , it is necessary to collect multiple tracks from each animal on a range of surfaces.

July 19th was a day for IT heroes. A routine software update caused computer outages in offices, hospitals and airports worldwide. Most white-collar workers looked sadly at their screens and realized just how useless they are if they cannot 46 . People in IT came to the rescue of helpless colleagues and 47 passengers. Their work that day was full of stress— but also full of meaning.
If machines can add purpose to some jobs when they fail, what about when they work 48 ? This is not an idle question, but a serious one. Discussions about A in particular easily get lost in aypotherical (假设的) debates about wholesale job losses or, worse, the nature of consciousness. But technologies tend to spread in less 49 ways, task by task rather than role by role. Before machines replace individuals, they change the nature of the work they do.
That transformation is likely to affect job satisfaction. Many employees give 50 to non-monetary rewards, such as job interest and engagement. A recent discussion paper surveyed American workers who had 51 jobs to find out whether and why they thought their new positions were better; they found that interest in the work mattered more to people than pay and benefits.
However, a study revealed a concerning 52 : Robots in industrial settings reduced the perceived meaningfulness of jobs across the board, 53 age, gender, skills and the type of work. While machines can theoretically free up time for more interesting tasks, 54 , they seem to have had the opposite effect. Why might this be? They find that industrial robots make jobs less physically demanding. But the number of tasks that remain open to humans 55 , hurting both the variety of work and people’s understanding of the production process. Work becomes more routine, not less.
However, machines don’t always have a (n) 56 impact. For example, in service industries like health care, less time spent on boring work might indeed mean more time with patients.
Consumer reactions to automation can also 57 . In an experiment to test how customers reacted to different descriptions of a cooking set, people who 58 being skilled chefs really didn’t like products that promised to do everything at the touch of a button. A technology that cuts down on boring tasks is fine; one that 59 your sense of identity is not.
While it is stil too early to know how AI will affect the quality of work, one thing is clear: machines can make employees feel 60 about their work. Introducing new technologies in cooperation with employees, rather than imposing (勉强) them, and enhancing their sense of competence are crucial. Bosses who ignore these issues are missing something meaningful.

五、阅读理解(每篇10分,共 20分)
(一)
The conversational tone of an AI chatbot or voice-based assistant is a good way to learn new concepts, but it may actually make us more willing to believe inaccuracies, compared with information presented in a static (静态的) article.
To investigate this issue, Sonja Utz from Germany asked 1,200 participants to engage with one of three formats. The first involved text appearing letter by letter in the style of a large model, similar to ChatGPT; the second provided information through a voice-based device; and the third was a static, text-based copy of content.
Participants couldn’t interact with the systems as they might with the real versions, in order to keep the experience consistent across the study. In some cases, participants were given accurate information, while in others, they saw factual errors. Some of these errors were plain wrong, such as naming Sofia as the capital of France, but others involved certain statements that were contradicted elsewhere in the same response.
Participants were asked to rate the accuracy of the information on a seven-point scale, where7 is entirely accurate. In the answers where errors were introduced, the information presented in a static format was rated as 4.24 on average. The ChatGPT-like system managed 4.76, while the voice assistant scored 5.29. Participants rated all of the systems higher for answers where no errors were introduced, but the differences were smaller for the voice assistant and chatbot.
“People find conversational chat agents more convincing because humans seem to be hardwired to assign credibility to things that seem lifelike,” says Mike Katell from UK. “The way the chatbots and voice agents are programmed to use a friendly and helpful conversational tone also confuses people. Chatbot makers are trying to put users at ease, which is achieved through believable content and inoffensive delivery.”
People have learned that these models generate false information sometimes. “But people don’t realize that this interaction mode makes us tend to believe whatever is written there.” Utz says. “That should be in media literacy training.”
81.What was the main focus of Sonja Utz’s study?
A.Features of AI chatbots or voice-based assistants.
B.People’s preference for information sources.
C.Why static articles differ from conversational content.
D.How text formats influence information trustworthiness.
82.In paragraph 3, text errors in the study can be summarized as________
A.inevitable and conflicting B.minor and common
C.obvious and internally inconsistent D.repetitive and randomly selected
83.According to Mike Katell, which of the following is NOT a reason why people find conversational chat agents more convincing?
A.People’s inborn trust in lifelike things.
B.Inoffensive delivery of personalized content.
C.The chatbot’s use of a gentle conversational tone.
D.The makers’ intention to make users feel relaxed.
84.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Utz suggests people improve media awareness and competence.
B.People’s preference for lifelike things may be overstated.
C.How information is presented doesn’t affect how much we believe it.
D.The research results are uncertain due to the lack of man-system interaction.
【答案】81.D 82.C 83.B 84.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于人工智能聊天机器人或语音助手的对话式语气可能使人们更愿意相信不准确信息的研究,通过具体的实验数据和专家观点来解释和说明这一现象,旨在提高人们对媒介素养的认识。
81.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The conversational tone of an AI chatbot or voice-based assistant is a good way to learn new concepts, but it may actually make us more willing to believe inaccuracies, compared with information presented in a static(静态的) article.(人工智能聊天机器人或语音助手的对话式语气是学习新概念的好方法,但与静态文章中呈现的信息相比,它可能会让我们更愿意相信不准确的内容。)”以及第二段“To investigate this issue, Sonja Utz from Germany asked 1,200 participants to engage with one of three formats.(为了研究这个问题,来自德国的Sonja Utz邀请了1200名参与者参与三种不同形式的互动。)”可知,Sonja Utz研究主要关注的是文本格式(如静态文本、ChatGPT式的动态文本和语音助手)如何影响人们对信息的信任度。故选D。
82.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In some cases, participants were given accurate information, while in others, they saw factual errors. Some of these errors were plain wrong, such as naming Sofia as the capital of France, but others involved certain statements that were contradicted elsewhere in the same response.(在某些情况下,参与者会收到准确的信息,而在其他情况下,他们则会看到事实错误。其中一些错误显然是错误的,比如将索菲亚命名为法国的首都,而其他错误则涉及在同一条回复中的其他位置相互矛盾的陈述。)”可知,第三段提到文本错误的两种类型:一种是明显的错误,如将索菲亚命名为法国的首都;另一种是内部不一致的错误,即在同一回答中的其他位置存在相互矛盾的陈述。也就是说,研究中的文本错误可以总结为明显的和内部不一致的。故选C。
83.细节理解题。根据文章第五段““People find conversational chat agents more convincing because humans seem to be hardwired to assign credibility to things that seem lifelike,” says Mike Katell from UK. “The way the chatbots and voice agents are programmed to use a friendly and helpful conversational tone also confuses people. Chatbot makers are trying to put users at ease, which is achieved through believable content and inoffensive delivery.”(“人们发现对话式聊天代理更具说服力,因为人类似乎天生就会对那些看起来逼真的事物赋予可信度,”来自英国的Mike Katell说道。“聊天机器人和语音助手被编程成使用友好且有帮助的对话语气,这也让人们感到困惑。聊天机器人制造商试图让用户感到轻松,这是通过可信的内容和不带冒犯性的表达方式来实现的。”)”可推测,选项B“Inoffensive delivery of personalized content.(个性化内容的无冒犯性传递。)”在Mike Katell的观点中并未提及。根据Mike Katell的观点,人们认为对话式聊天代理更具说服力的原因中,不包括个性化内容的无冒犯性传递。故选B。
84.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“People have learned that these models generate false information sometimes. “But people don’t realize that this interaction mode makes us tend to believe whatever is written there.” Utz says. “That should be in media literacy training.”(人们已经知道这些模型有时会生成虚假信息。“但人们没有意识到这种交互模式会让我们倾向于相信上面写的任何内容。” Utz说。“这应该纳入媒介素养培训中。”)”可知,Utz建议人们提高媒介素养。故选A。
(二)
Lately, it is getting harder and harder to find clothes that aren’t laced (镶边) with plastic. When you check a garment’s fabric composition, it’s not uncommon to be confronted by a list of scientific words, which refer to various types of plastic. However, too few realize that unless you’re paying close attention, most of your cupboard contains a whole lot of plastic. Often it is invisible, like the microplastics shed by synthetic (合成的) materials; while you may never see them, they have been found at the bottom of the ocean and in human blood.
So why do we continue to use plastics? The main reason is, of course, cost. The market price for synthetic fibers is significantly less compared to natural fibers, creating an apparent incentive for fashion brands to find ways to replace traditionally used natural fibers with synthetic ones. Moreover, making synthetic materials isn’t dependent on seasons or farms affected by rainfall or heatwaves, as is the case with cotton and wool.
You’ve likely seen a lot of brands promoting themselves as sustainable by using plastic bottles to make their clothes. But the problem is, our plastic-based textile economy has led to unsustainable overproduction of clothing that is unhealthy for our communities and our ecosystems. And plastic clothing is still going to impact our health and have a lasting effect on the environment. Textiles made from plastic fibers are responsible for microplastic fiber shedding at every stage of their lives: when they’re worn, washed, and disposed of. These microplastics enter the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Plus, clothing made from plastic bottles can actually shorten its life cycle. When a bottle is transformed into clothing, it often accelerates that bottle’s journey to the landfill because we purchase and abandon our clothing at such a rapid pace.
While the hidden story of plastic in our clothes doesn’t have the happiest of endings, we can each take measures. Reduce our overall consumption of clothing and textile products and extend the life of our favorite garment. Learning to mend can be a game-changer. When we do make textile purchases, buy and wear natural fiber products, especially those originating from land-based production systems that are working to restore and build ecosystem and soil health.
85.What can we learn about plastic from the first paragraph?
A.It is widely used in our clothes. B.It is impossible to enter our body.
C.It is a rare material for clothing. D.It is always noticeable in clothing.
86.What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Problem. B.Difference. C.Concept. D.Motive.
87.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The marketing strategies of clothing brands.
B.The sustainability of plastic bottle recycling.
C.The environmental impact of plastic clothing.
D.The process of making plastic-based clothes.
88.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.We Might Consume Too Much B.Measures Benefit Consumers
C.We Might Wear Plastic Bottles D.Plastics Promote Economy
【答案】85.A 86.D 87.C 88.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了塑料纤维在服装中的广泛使用及其对环境和健康的影响,并提到了用塑料瓶制作衣服的品牌。
85.推理判断题。根据第一段“Lately, it is getting harder and harder to find clothes that aren’t laced (镶边) with plastic. When you check a garment’s fabric composition, it’s not uncommon to be confronted by a list of scientific words, which refer to various types of plastic. However, too few realize that unless you’re paying close attention, most of your cupboard contains a whole lot of plastic. Often it is invisible, like the microplastics shed by synthetic (合成的) materials; while you may never see them, they have been found at the bottom of the ocean and in human blood. (最近,要找到一件没有塑料的衣服越来越难了。当你检查一件衣服的面料成分时,经常会看到一串科学词汇,这些词汇指的是各种类型的塑料。然而,很少有人意识到,除非你密切关注,否则你的橱柜里大部分都是塑料。它通常是看不见的,比如合成材料产生的微塑料;虽然你可能从未见过它们,但它们在海底和人类血液中被发现过。)”可推知这段话表明塑料在服装中的使用非常普遍,而且很多时候是不易被察觉的。故选A。
86.词句猜测题。根据第二段“So why do we continue to use plastics? The main reason is, of course, cost. The market price for synthetic fibers is significantly less compared to natural fibers, creating an apparent incentive for fashion brands to find ways to replace traditionally used natural fibers with synthetic ones. (那么,我们为什么还要继续使用塑料呢?主要原因当然是成本。与天然纤维相比,合成纤维的市场价格要低得多,这为时尚品牌寻找用合成纤维取代传统天然纤维的方法提供了明显的incentive。)” 可知,因为合成纤维的价格更低,因此时尚品牌有强烈的动机用合成纤维替代天然纤维。所以incentive意为“动机”和D选项的motive同义,故选D。
87.主旨大意题。根据第三段“But the problem is, our plastic-based textile economy has led to unsustainable overproduction of clothing that is unhealthy for our communities and our ecosystems. And plastic clothing is still going to impact our health and have a lasting effect on the environment. Textiles made from plastic fibers are responsible for microplastic fiber shedding at every stage of their lives: when they’re worn, washed, and disposed of. These microplastics enter the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.(但问题是,我们以塑料为基础的纺织经济导致了不可持续的服装生产过剩,这对我们的社区和生态系统都是不健康的。塑料衣服仍然会影响我们的健康,对环境产生持久的影响。由塑料纤维制成的纺织品在其生命的每个阶段都会导致微塑料纤维脱落:当它们被穿着、洗涤和丢弃时。这些微塑料进入我们呼吸的空气、饮用的水和吃的食物)”可知本段主要讲述了塑料服装对环境的影响,包括微塑料的释放和对空气质量、水质和食品安全的影响。故选C。
88.主旨大意题。通读全文可知文章讨论了塑料纤维在服装中的广泛使用及其对环境和健康的影响,并提到了用塑料瓶制作衣服的品牌。因此,标题 “We Might Wear Plastic Bottles (我们可能在穿塑料瓶。)” 最能概括文章的核心内容。故选C。
