B Microplastics (微塑料): The Hidden Environmental Problem Plastic pollution has always been a serious problem in the world. According to New Scientist in February, 2024, microplastics, tiny plastic pieces less than 5 millimeters, have become one of the most worrying environmental problems today. They are too small for people to see easily, yet they have spread widely across the Earth — in Antarctic snow, deep ocean water, soil, and even our daily food and drinking water. Microplastics bring great harm to living things and the whole environment. Sea animals often take microplastics as food by mistake. After eating them, the animals feel full and refuse real food, which finally causes health problems or even death. For humans, microplastics can enter our bodies through food and water. Although scientists are still researching their long-term influence on human health, we have already known clearly that they are harmful. Where do these microplastics come from? Most of them come from daily plastic waste. Large plastic bags and bottles slowly break down into tiny pieces in nature. Besides, washing clothes with chemical fibers (化学纤维), using certain beauty products and the running of car tires (轮胎) will also produce plenty of microplastics. However, there are still useful ways to fight against microplastic pollution. As middle school students, we can start with small changes in life: cut down the use of single-use plastics, such as plastic cups and straws; choose clothes made from natural materials like cotton. At the same time, governments and factories should make strict rules and develop green new materials to reduce plastic pollution. Solving microplastic pollution is not an easy job and it takes a long time. But with joint efforts from everyone, we can surely protect our living planet better. 16. What are microplastics according to the first paragraph? A. Large plastic bags and plastic bottles B. Tiny plastic pieces smaller than 5 millimeters C. A kind of special food for sea animals D. Visible waste in the deep ocean 17. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 2? A. Microplastics only do harm to sea animals. B. Scientists have known all the harm of microplastics. C. Microplastics are bad for both animals and humans. D. Humans can stay away from microplastics easily. 18. Which of the following sentences is an opinion? A. Microplastics are less than 5 millimeters in size. B. Microplastics can be found in our daily drinking water. C. Car tires can produce microplastics while running. D. It is meaningful for us to fight against microplastic pollution. 19. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The great harm of microplastics B. The wide spread of microplastics C. The causes of microplastic pollution D. The ways to solve plastic pollution 20. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce different kinds of natural pollution. B. To ask people to pay attention to microplastics and take action. C. To show how sea animals live in the deep ocean. D. To explain the history of plastic products. C Suddenly, the little prince asked: “A sheep — if it eats grass, does it eat flowers, too?” “A sheep eats anything it finds.” “Even flowers that have thorns (刺)?” “Yes, even flowers that have thorns.” “Then the thorns — what use are they?” I did not know. At that moment I was so busy trying to repair my plane that I had no time to share. I answered with the first thing that came into my head: “The thorns are of no use at all.” “Oh…” Just as I thought the little prince would keep quiet for some time, he continued: “And you actually (事实上) believe that the flowers…” “Oh, no! No, no, no! I don’t believe anything. I answered you with the first thing that came into my head. Don’t you see — I am very busy with things of importance!” “Things of importance? You talk just like the adults (成年人)! I know a red-faced gentleman. He has never smelled a flower. He has never looked at a star. He has never loved anyone. He has never done anything in his life but count his money. And all day he says over and over again, just like you: ‘I am busy with things of importance!’ And that makes him so proud. He immerses himself in his own business so much that he is no longer a man — he is a mushroom (蘑菇)!” “A what?” “A selfish (自私的) mushroom! And so are you! If someone knows there is a flower growing on one star among the millions, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all the stars will become dark… And you think that is not important!” His tears (眼泪) of anger as well as love made me suddenly stop, with tools falling off my hands. I never thought his feeling for a flower could be so strong. I was frozen by his love for flowers, stars and life. Slowly, I took him in my arms and said softly to him that the flower he loved would not be in danger. I would do anything to protect it. But seeing the tears on the little prince’s face, I could continue no more. What I said earlier, which I wished to take back, had hurt him badly. — Adapted from The Little Prince 21. What was the writer doing when the little prince started to ask questions? A. He was repairing his plane. B. He was looking at a flower. C. He was shouting at a sheep. D.

According to little prince’s words, which question did he care most about? A. Who could give me a flower? B. Why do some flowers have thorns? C. Do sheep eat grass and flowers? D. How can I protect my flower from a sheep? 24. Which of the following shows the change of the writer’s feelings? A. happy — angry — sad B. happy — sad — angry C. impatient — surprised — sorry D. impatient — sorry — surprised 25. What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A. Adults are always much busier than children in their daily life. B. Love and duty are more important than so-called “important things”. C. We should spend more time growing beautiful flowers on our planet. D. It is useless to ask adults questions when they are busy with their work. 三、信息还原 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Now, more and more people hear about “micro charity”.

Every Chinese kid has to learn to use them for some time. But chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions. Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just as playing with forks and knives in a Western country would be rude. There are also some superstitions (迷信) related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense (香) that Chinese people use to honour the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck. You should not tap chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars do this to ask for food. Parents might get angry if children do this as they don’t want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future. Apart from (除了) being tableware (餐具), chopsticks can also be a great gift. In Chinese, “chopsticks” are known as “kuaizi”, which means having babies soon. Newlyweds (新婚夫妇) sometimes receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled craftsmen (手艺人) paint beautiful images on chopsticks to make them look like a fine artwork. 51. What is this passage mainly about? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Why shouldn’t you tap your chopsticks on the edge of your bowl? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. Besides being tableware, what else can chopsticks be used as? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. Who may probably like receiving chopsticks? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. Do you think we should follow these manners? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 我市正在积极深化全国文明城市建设。作为一位市民，请你以“How to Become a Civilized (文明的) Citizen”为题写一篇英语短文，向大家发出倡议。请你从以下三个要点来谈： 1.
