New research has found that a kind of crab (螃蟹) can help to break down tiny bits of plastic. Microplastics are plastic particles (颗粒) less than five millimetres long, and they can come from a variety of places — including larger pieces of plastic as they break down. They can damage the environment and be harmful to the health of people and wildlife.
A team of researchers studied fiddler crabs living near Turbo, a city on the coast of Colombia, in South America. The forests there are seriously polluted with plastic, yet fiddler crabs are thriving. The researchers wanted to know how this was possible.
For their study, the team sprayed five small areas in the forests with tiny plastic particles. They repeated this for 66 days, and afterwards looked at how it influenced the crabs living in the area. The results showed that the plastic particles, which the crabs ate as they dug through the mud, were broken down by their stomachs. The crabs were able to break down the microplastics within days, much faster than sunlight and waves.
The scientists said the crabs’ behaviour could possibly be harmful because they could break down the plastic into even smaller pieces of plastic. If predator (捕食者) animals then eat the crabs, the plastic could go into the food chain. However, Daniela Diaz, who was in the study, said, “The results could lead to a better understanding of how animals deal with pollution.”
46. What can we learn about microplastics from paragraph 1?
A. They are easy to break down.
B. They are plastic particles over 5 millimetres long.
C. They do harm to the health of humans and wildlife.
D. They are the main pollutants to the environment.
47. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “thriving” in paragraph 2?
A. Healthy. B. Thirsty. C. Hungry. D. Happy.

A. The microplastics helped the trees grow better.
B. The microplastics disappeared within 66 days.
C. The crabs managed to break down plastic particles.
D. Sunlight and waves failed to change plastic particles.
49. How would Daniela Diaz feel about the results of the study?
A. Cheering. B. Worrying. C. Confusing. D. Interesting.
50. Where is this passage most probably from?
A. A novel. B. A travel guide. C. A science magazine. D. A book review.
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. C 49. A 50. C

Plogging, the latest Scandinavian lifestyle, trends to rock your world. It has also been a popular new eco-friendly (生态友好的) fitness across the world.

As an English saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” In these troubling times, good humour is in need more than ever. Doctors and medical staff are taking heed of this and making it part of their care treatments. One product of this is the appearance of clown doctors and healthcare clowns, in hospitals around the globe. There is even an organization that sets standards-the European Federation of Healthcare Clowns Organizations was established in 2011. It says: “Healthcare clowns bring moments of happiness to children who are ill or who have special needs and take their mind off their illness. Clowns also bring smiles to weak adults, including seniors and people with brain disease who are in hospital care.”
Healthcare clowns are becoming especially popular in Israel, which is considered a world leader in the field. The first university ever to offer a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in medical clowning was Haifa University, in 2007. One healthcare clown in Jerusalem, Leah Weiss, decided to take advantage of her inner clown to help patients after a COVID-19 ward (病室) opened in March. She said she knew the clown in her would have curing benefits for her patients. She wants to reduce their anxiety (焦虑) and improve their wellbeing. She enjoys working alongside doctors and said: “Obviously, the doctors, they take care of the body. And we come in and take care of the soul. And it becomes a whole and works together — the doctors understand this.”
46. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined phrase “taking heed of”?
A. Looking up to. B. Making up for.
C. Paying attention to. D. Getting away from.
47. Some hospitals employ clowns because ________.

A. It reduces medical expenses. B. It makes hospitals organized.
C. It helps with patients’ recovery. D. It decreases the anxiety of doctors.

The FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022. But the love for soccer is still very much alive and well in Zibo, Shandong Province. Zibo is called “the home of soccer ball”. It’s the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. In 2004, cuju won the recognition of FIFA — soccer’s governing body — as the earliest form of soccer.
The Chinese character cu means to kick. Ju means an ancient type of leather ball. It has feathers (羽毛) or grain chaff (谷糠) inside. The ancient Chinese historical text Zhan Guo Ce says cuju was a form of amusement among common people. But during the Han Dynasty, soldiers played cuju for army training. During the Tang Dynasty, women played cuju at the royal court (朝廷) for the amusement of the emperors. It entered the golden age in the Song Dynasty when it became popular among every class. Yet, the 2,000-year-old game slowly got out of people’s lives during the Ming Dynasty.
Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi district of Zibo city, is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承人) of cuju. He has been practicing cuju skills for 18 years. Mastering different cuju skills is not easy. “At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠球) a ball. It was tiring,” Li told China Daily. He now can juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row.
Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li’s job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. “Students show great interest in playing cuju. It encourages me to promote the ancient sport,” Li said.
51. Why is Zibo called “the home of soccer ball”?
A. Because cuju was born there. B. Because people there love soccer.
C. Because there is a branch of FIFA. D. Because modern soccer began there.

How cool would it be to have a flying robot? What’s the first thing you would do with it? Maybe send it into battle, or use it to spy (窥探) on your neighbors? Well, this is not just a fantasy anymore. Drones (无人机) are remote-controlled flying robots, and they are getting more popular every day. But is this a good thing for society?
The popularity of drones has exploded in recent years as technology has improved and gotten cheaper. A standard drone with a high-quality camera and four helicopter propellers now sells online for just a few hundred US dollars. Drones are extremely useful for making videos because their cameras link directly to phones or tablets. Nowadays, anyone can get professional-looking flyby shots from unique angles.
But could this cause problems? Because drones are so affordable, it means that anyone can send a robot flying around the neighborhood. People might be surprised to find a camera floating outside their window. This should be a huge concern for people who care about their privacy.
Many governments also invest in drones, but for very different reasons. Some country uses military (军事的) drones for spying. Its most powerful drones, however, are Predator drones, which can fly higher than 15,000 meters at over 300 kilometers per hour. And no, they don’t just take pretty videos. A predator drone can hold 360 kilograms worth of bombs, enough to completely destroy an enemy camp. The soldier controlling the drones sits safely away from the action, so it’s impossible to know for sure who is getting killed. Innocent people might be in danger.
Drones are a very new technology and people are still exploring their possible uses. Maybe someday you’ll come up with a new cool way to use your own remote-controlled robot.
51. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To express the writer’s opinion.
C. To state the facts about the drones.
D. To indicate the advantages of a flying robot.
52. What does the underlined word “exploded” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Broken. B. Disappeared. C. Blown up. D. Increased.
53. What is most likely true about drones you can buy online?
A. The most expensive ones are priced too high.
B. They can be used to secretly take pictures of people.
C. They are useful for making videos from fixed angles.
D. They can be used for both photography and military purposes.
54. What is the function of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. It suggests what military drones will do in the future.
B. It gives an example of what military drones cannot do.
C. It intends to compare military drones and common drones.
D. It describes a similarity between military drones and common drones.
55. What is the main idea of the article?

New research has found that a kind of crab (螃蟹) can help to break down tiny bits of plastic. Microplastics are plastic particles (颗粒) less than five millimetres long, and they can come from a variety of places — including larger pieces of plastic as they break down. They can damage the environment and be harmful to the health of people and wildlife.
A team of researchers studied fiddler crabs living near Turbo, a city on the coast of Colombia, in South America. The forests there are seriously polluted with plastic, yet fiddler crabs are thriving. The researchers wanted to know how this was possible.
For their study, the team sprayed five small areas in the forests with tiny plastic particles. They repeated this for 66 days, and afterwards looked at how it influenced the crabs living in the area. The results showed that the plastic particles, which the crabs ate as they dug through the mud, were broken down by their stomachs. The crabs were able to break down the microplastics within days, much faster than sunlight and waves.
The scientists said the crabs’ behaviour could possibly be harmful because they could break down the plastic into even smaller pieces of plastic. If predator (捕食者) animals then eat the crabs, the plastic could go into the food chain. However, Daniela Diaz, who was in the study, said, “The results could lead to a better understanding of how animals deal with pollution.”
46. What can we learn about microplastics from paragraph 1?
A. They are easy to break down.
B. They are plastic particles over 5 millimetres long.
C. They do harm to the health of humans and wildlife.
D. They are the main pollutants to the environment.
47. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “thriving” in paragraph 2?
A. Healthy. B. Thirsty. C. Hungry. D. Happy.
48. What did the researchers find during their study?
A. The microplastics helped the trees grow better.
B. The microplastics disappeared within 66 days.
C. The crabs managed to break down plastic particles.
D. Sunlight and waves failed to change plastic particles.
49. How would Daniela Diaz feel about the results of the study?
A. Cheering. B. Worrying. C. Confusing. D. Interesting.
50. Where is this passage most probably from?
A. A novel. B. A travel guide. C. A science magazine. D. A book review.

What is the most popular body building these years? Plogging, which is a mixture of jogging and the Swedish “plocka upp”, meaning “pick up”, has come into our eyes. Plogging, the latest Scandinavian lifestyle, trends to rock your world. It has also been a popular new eco-friendly (生态友好的) fitness across the world.
The idea of plogging was created by Erik Ahlstrom, a Swedish. He was shocked by the amount of rubbish there in nature. The same rubbish could remain in the road for several weeks without anyone picking it up. So he made up his mind to do something to change it. He started picking it up. He felt good in his heart to clean up a small place. To his surprise, stopping to clean up rubbish became a habit, then a part of his regular exercise as he put the activity into his runs. Later, other people were joining in, and plogging runs, with groups of couple coming together to run and pick up rubbish, became official events in Sweden. They run with bags and gloves. After running, they will have a competition to see who picks up the most rubbish. Nowadays, plogging has attracted more people to take part in.
According to fitness app Lifesum, which allows users to input and track calories (卡路里) burned while plogging, the eco-friendly work-out is quite more effective than just jogging. As plogging requires some bending and some strength to catch all the rubbish, a half hour of plogging will burn about 288 calories, compared to just 235 calories from regular jogging

As an English saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” In these troubling times, good humour is in need more than ever. Doctors and medical staff are taking heed of this and making it part of their care treatments. One product of this is the appearance of clown doctors and healthcare clowns, in hospitals around the globe. There is even an organization that sets standards-the European Federation of Healthcare Clowns Organizations was established in 2011. It says: “Healthcare clowns bring moments of happiness to children who are ill or who have special needs and take their mind off their illness. Clowns also bring smiles to weak adults, including seniors and people with brain disease who are in hospital care.”
Healthcare clowns are becoming especially popular in Israel, which is considered a world leader in the field. The first university ever to offer a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in medical clowning was Haifa University, in 2007. One healthcare clown in Jerusalem, Leah Weiss, decided to take advantage of her inner clown to help patients after a COVID-19 ward (病室) opened in March. She said she knew the clown in her would have curing benefits for her patients. She wants to reduce their anxiety (焦虑) and improve their wellbeing. She enjoys working alongside doctors and said: “Obviously, the doctors, they take care of the body. And we come in and take care of the soul. And it becomes a whole and works together — the doctors understand this.”
46. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined phrase “taking heed of”?
A. Looking up to. B. Making up for.
C. Paying attention to. D. Getting away from.
47. Some hospitals employ clowns because ________.
A. they are well educated B. they are easy to find
C. they make people happy D. they have medical knowledge
48. What can we know about Leah Weiss?
A. She is seriously ill. B. She is a loving person.
C. She has special needs. D. She has a bachelor’s degree.
49. What is the benefit of having clowns in hospitals?
A. It reduces medical expenses. B. It makes hospitals organized.
C. It helps with patients’ recovery. D. It decreases the anxiety of doctors.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A new care treatment. B. A useful traditional medicine.
C. An effective cure for COVID-19. D. A detailed introduction to clowns.

The FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022. But the love for soccer is still very much alive and well in Zibo, Shandong Province. Zibo is called “the home of soccer ball”. It’s the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. In 2004, cuju won the recognition of FIFA — soccer’s governing body — as the earliest form of soccer.
The Chinese character cu means to kick. Ju means an ancient type of leather ball. It has feathers (羽毛) or grain chaff (谷糠) inside. The ancient Chinese historical text Zhan Guo Ce says cuju was a form of amusement among common people. But during the Han Dynasty, soldiers played cuju for army training. During the Tang Dynasty, women played cuju at the royal court (朝廷) for the amusement of the emperors. It entered the golden age in the Song Dynasty when it became popular among every class. Yet, the 2,000-year-old game slowly got out of people’s lives during the Ming Dynasty.
Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi district of Zibo city, is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承人) of cuju. He has been practicing cuju skills for 18 years. Mastering different cuju skills is not easy. “At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠球) a ball. It was tiring,” Li told China Daily. He now can juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row.
Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li’s job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. “Students show great interest in playing cuju. It encourages me to promote the ancient sport,” Li said.
51. Why is Zibo called “the home of soccer ball”?
A. Because cuju was born there. B. Because people there love soccer.
C. Because there is a branch of FIFA. D. Because modern soccer began there.
52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. The way of making cuju. B. The development of cuju.
C. The value of cuju to the world. D. The popularity of cuju among the Chinese.
53. In the Ming Dynasty, cuju _______.
A. was used to train soldiers B. was enjoyed by the emperors
C. became popular among women D. slowly disappeared in people’s lives
54. Which of the following is true about Li Weipeng?
A. He is the only inheritor of cuju.
B. He thinks it easy to learn cuju skills.
C. He now practises cuju eight hours a day.
D. He passes down cuju skills to the younger generation.
55. What the best title for the passage?
A. Zibo — a city of soccer fans B. Cuju — its yesterday and today
C. Soccer — a popular sport in China D. Li Weipeng — a devoted instructor of cuju

How cool would it be to have a flying robot? What’s the first thing you would do with it? Maybe send it into battle, or use it to spy (窥探) on your neighbors? Well, this is not just a fantasy anymore. Drones (无人机) are remote-controlled flying robots, and they are getting more popular every day. But is this a good thing for society?
The popularity of drones has exploded in recent years as technology has improved and gotten cheaper. A standard drone with a high-quality camera and four helicopter propellers now sells online for just a few hundred US dollars. Drones are extremely useful for making videos because their cameras link directly to phones or tablets. Nowadays, anyone can get professional-looking flyby shots from unique angles.
But could this cause problems? Because drones are so affordable, it means that anyone can send a robot flying around the neighborhood. People might be surprised to find a camera floating outside their window. This should be a huge concern for people who care about their privacy.
Many governments also invest in drones, but for very different reasons. Some country uses military (军事的) drones for spying. Its most powerful drones, however, are Predator drones, which can fly higher than 15,000 meters at over 300 kilometers per hour. And no, they don’t just take pretty videos. A predator drone can hold 360 kilograms worth of bombs, enough to completely destroy an enemy camp. The soldier controlling the drones sits safely away from the action, so it’s impossible to know for sure who is getting killed. Innocent people might be in danger.
Drones are a very new technology and people are still exploring their possible uses. Maybe someday you’ll come up with a new cool way to use your own remote-controlled robot.
51. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To express the writer’s opinion.
C. To state the facts about the drones.
D. To indicate the advantages of a flying robot.
52. What does the underlined word “exploded” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Broken. B. Disappeared. C. Blown up. D. Increased.
53. What is most likely true about drones you can buy online?
A. The most expensive ones are priced too high.
B. They can be used to secretly take pictures of people.
C. They are useful for making videos from fixed angles.
D. They can be used for both photography and military purposes.
54. What is the function of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. It suggests what military drones will do in the future.
B. It gives an example of what military drones cannot do.
C. It intends to compare military drones and common drones.
D. It describes a similarity between military drones and common drones.
55. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Using drones can cause confusion to users.
B. Using drones is a great way to improve videos.
C. Drones have both positive and negative effects.
D. Drones are expensive, but really exciting to play with.
