Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic.They come from many places.For example,about 60% of material made into clothing is plastic(塑料).Every time they are washed,they shed(掉落) microplastics.When water bottles and other big plastic items are left outside,they break down slowly into microplastics. According to National Geographic,microplastics are usually less than five millimeters(毫米) in size.This small size lets them go everywhere,even in water and air.They don't break down easily and can stay in the environment for hundreds of years. This can be bad for our health.In August,the Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people's brains for the first time.They may hurt brain cells(细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution.Each year,up to three million tons of microplastics end up in the sea.Since they are too small to be seen,fish may eat them by mistake and become very sick. To deal with the problem,scientists think the best solution right now is to make and use less plastic. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (1)Which of the following may be the source(来源) of microplastic according to paragraph 2? A.Wood which is left outside. B.Paper which is left outside. C.Big plastic items which are left outside. D.Glass bottles which are left outside. (2)Why are microplastics a problem for the environment? A.Because they mainly end up in water. B.Because they can move fast in the air. C.Because they are too small to be reused. D.Because they take a long time to break down. (3)What can we know from Paragraphs 4﹣5? A.Microplastic pollution is hard to deal with. B.Microplastics can hurt certain kinds of fish. C.Microplastics can cause different kinds of pollution. D.Microplastics can bring health problems to humans and animals. (4)What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage? A.To introduce the way of recycling microplastics. B.To discuss the problems caused by microplastics. C.To describe the production process of microplastics. D.To study the chemical composition(化学成分) of microplastics. (5)What do scientists think is the best way to deal with microplastic pollution? A.Making and using less plastic. B.Taking plastic out of the sea. C.Helping microplastics break down. D.Making laws about microplastic pollution. 14.(10分) You answer questions all the time.How do you know that your answer is reasonable(合理的)?It does not matter what subject you are studying.Your answer needs to make sense.(1) • Read the question again.

'Wow!' he thought.He turned the page and saw a wolf pup(狼崽).It was so cute.Evan went back to the beginning of the book.He got intrigued and read carefully." (看着图书馆的书,他开始阅读。当他读一本书时,他注意到了一张照片。那是一群狼在追赶一只鹿。"哇!他想。他翻过一页,看见一只狼崽。它太可爱了。埃文回到书的开头。他很好奇,仔细阅读。)可知,是书中一张狼的照片让埃文开始仔细阅读这本书,故选D。 (3)词义猜测题。根据第二段Wow!" he thought.He turned the page and saw a wolf pup(狼崽).It was so cute.Evan went back to the beginning of the book.He got intrigued and read carefully.(哇!他想。他翻过一页,看见一只小狼崽。它太可爱了。埃文回到书的开头。他很好奇,仔细阅读。)所以 "intrigued" 意思是 "感兴趣的",B 选项 "Interested" 符合,故选B。 (4)细节理解题。根据倒数第四段"Aaaa﹣ooooo!" he howled.The pack came to him.That was it!He was the leader!He had to be careful.He couldn't lead the wolves into another pack's area.It was too dangerous.("啊,啊!"他怒吼道。背包向他走来。就是这样!他是领袖!他必须小心。他无法带领狼群进入另一个狼群的区域。太危险了。)可知,梦中,埃文变成了一只狼,他通过嚎叫召集了狼群,成为了狼群的首领,然后带领狼群捕猎,故选C。 (5)细节理解题。根据第五段"Wolves could live for two weeks without eating." (狼可以不吃东西活两周。)是埃文在梦中作为狼的自我认知,不是关于狼这种动物群体行为的内容,不太可能出现在报告中,故选A。 【点评】通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。 13.(10分) Microplastics(微塑料) are very small.But they bring big problems.A new study said that by 2040,microplastic pollution could be twice as bad as it is now.Scientists learned this by looking at 20 years of studies on microplastics.
