【答案】32.C 33.A 34.B 35.D
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于减少自来水中微塑料污染的新研究。微塑料污染已遍及全球,甚至进入人体。中国研究人员发现,将自来水煮沸五分钟并冷却后过滤可能会显著降低自来水中的微塑料含量。研究虽未涵盖所有塑料类型和化学物质,但揭示了一种潜在解决方案。苏格兰环境工程师指出,该研究展示了煮沸法的有效性,并建议升级饮用水处理厂以推广应用。
【详解】32.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans. (微塑料已经成为地球上常见的污染源——它们出现在在深海和喜马拉雅山上,被困在火山岩中,填满海鸟的胃,甚至落在南极的新雪中。它们甚至出现了在人类体内)”可推知,作者通过举例提出微塑料污染的问题。故选C。
33.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. (至关重要的是,这一过程依赖于含有足够碳酸钙的水来截留塑料。在这项研究中,将含有300毫克碳酸钙的硬水煮沸后,塑料含量下降了近90%。但在碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样品中,煮沸只降低了25%的塑料含量)”可知,决定在水中截留微塑料的有效性的是水的硬度。故选A。
34.推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly diffcult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought. (尽管如此,研究结果显示了减少微塑料接触的潜在途径——这一任务正变得越来越困难。今年早些时候,科学家们发现,即使是瓶装水,其微塑料含量也比原先想象的高出10到1000倍。)”可推断,作者提到瓶装水是为了说明微塑料污染的严重性。故选B。
35.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.” (苏格兰格拉斯哥大学的环境工程师Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay没有参与这项研究,她告诉《新科学家》杂志:“他们展示微塑料如何在煮沸过程中被截留的方式很不错。”“我们应该考虑升级饮用水处理厂,以便它们能去除微塑料”)”可推知,Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay的建议是关于这项研究结果的潜在应用,即升级饮用水处理厂。故选D。

六、阅读理解
In the future, your clothes might be grown from living bacteria (细菌). Researchers report that bacteria can produce colorful cloth in a single process. This offers a sustainable alternative to today’s fashion industry, which relies heavily on oil-based fibers and chemical dyes (染料) containing heavy metals. These traditional processes release greenhouse gases, damage water quality, and pollute the soil.
Biochemical engineer Sang Yup Lee and his team grew two types of bacteria together: one that produces a material to replace polyester and nylon (聚酯纤维和锦纶), and another that creates natural colors. Originally, the two bacteria disturbed each other’s growth, so either little material was produced or it remained uncolored. After testing, the team found a way to make them work together, finally producing colorful sheets in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
The team then tested how well the colors lasted. They washed, heated, and put the materials in different liquids. Most colors stayed strong, and some even did better than traditional dyes in washing tests. However, Lee says the bacteria-based cloth is at least five years away from being sold in stores. Challenges include increasing production and competing with low-cost petroleum products. Real progress, he adds, will require people to care more about the environment than price.
1.Why does the author mention “heavy metals” in paragraph 1?
A.To explain why bacteria can produce colors.
B.To show a problem with traditional dyeing methods.
C.To compare different types of chemical dyes.
D.To prove that traditionally made cloth is strong.
2.What was the main difficulty the team faced at the beginning?
A.The two bacteria could not produce natural colors.
B.The two bacteria stopped each other from growing well.
C.The material could not be made into colorful sheets.
D.The bacteria could only produce very little colored materials.
3.What can we learn from the color test?
A.The bacteria-based cloth fades easily when washed.
B.Traditional dyes perform better in all the tests.
C.The colors of the new materials are mostly lasting.
D.Heating can change the colors of the new materials.
4.What matters for the technology according to Lee?
A.Cutting down the cost of mass production.
B.Finding more types of color-producing bacteria.
C.Changing people’s values toward sustainability.
D.Increasing the production of the new cloth.

Why Do People Use Cloud Storage?
You may know about the virtual storage space called cloud storage, where you can check, change and store your data. You may also be using a cloud storage service like many other people. 1
2 Users are not only able to upload their files easily, but they are also able to access the stored stuff quickly. Since all their data is stored in the cloud, it remains available for use at any moment, ensuring that their information is always at their fingertips.
Data security is another critical advantage. Cloud storage protects you from losing files because of hardware failure. Many times, people face the danger of losing their data stored on computers, laptops or a USB drive. 3 No data is ever erased or lost from this online storage system, unless you delete it.
In addition, cloud storage enables quick data sharing. 4 Cloud offers great convenience to users who may want to share their stored data with others in their work team. Besides, the cloud provides an opportunity to make specific data public. You can also choose exactly who to share your files with, and decide what they can do with them, like viewing or making changes.
Cloud storage is not only a safe and organized way to back up your data, but it also doesn’t cost much. On most cloud services, you can get some storage space for free. If you need more space than the free amount, you can pay a little money to get it. 5
A.Cloud storage is highly accessible.
B.This is very important for effective teamwork.
C.This price makes it affordable for most users.
D.Here are some advantages of cloud storage.
E.However, this is not enough to stop people loving it.
F.It also requires a stable internet connection to function well.
G.However, storing it in the cloud can avoid any such trouble.
(2025·全国一卷·阅读理解)Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
32.How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A.By quoting an expert. B.By defining a concept.
C.By giving examples. D.By providing statistics.
33.What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A.The hardness of water. B.The length of cooling time.
C.The frequency of filtering. D.The type of plastic in water.
34.What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A.The importance of plastic recycling. B.The severity of the microplastic problem.
C.The danger in overusing pure water. D.The difficulty in treating polluted water.
35.What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A.Choice of new research methods. B.Possible direction for further study.
C.Need to involve more researchers. D.Potential application of the findings.

六、阅读理解
In the future, your clothes might be grown from living bacteria (细菌). Researchers report that bacteria can produce colorful cloth in a single process. This offers a sustainable alternative to today’s fashion industry, which relies heavily on oil-based fibers and chemical dyes (染料) containing heavy metals. These traditional processes release greenhouse gases, damage water quality, and pollute the soil.
Biochemical engineer Sang Yup Lee and his team grew two types of bacteria together: one that produces a material to replace polyester and nylon (聚酯纤维和锦纶), and another that creates natural colors. Originally, the two bacteria disturbed each other’s growth, so either little material was produced or it remained uncolored. After testing, the team found a way to make them work together, finally producing colorful sheets in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
The team then tested how well the colors lasted. They washed, heated, and put the materials in different liquids. Most colors stayed strong, and some even did better than traditional dyes in washing tests. However, Lee says the bacteria-based cloth is at least five years away from being sold in stores. Challenges include increasing production and competing with low-cost petroleum products. Real progress, he adds, will require people to care more about the environment than price.
1.Why does the author mention “heavy metals” in paragraph 1?
A.To explain why bacteria can produce colors.
B.To show a problem with traditional dyeing methods.
C.To compare different types of chemical dyes.
D.To prove that traditionally made cloth is strong.
2.What was the main difficulty the team faced at the beginning?
A.The two bacteria could not produce natural colors.
B.The two bacteria stopped each other from growing well.
C.The material could not be made into colorful sheets.
D.The bacteria could only produce very little colored materials.
3.What can we learn from the color test?
A.The bacteria-based cloth fades easily when washed.
B.Traditional dyes perform better in all the tests.
C.The colors of the new materials are mostly lasting.
D.Heating can change the colors of the new materials.
4.What matters for the technology according to Lee?
A.Cutting down the cost of mass production.
B.Finding more types of color-producing bacteria.
C.Changing people’s values toward sustainability.
D.Increasing the production of the new cloth.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C 4.C
【导语】本文主要介绍了研究人员利用两种细菌合作生产彩色布料的技术,为传统纺织业提供了一种可持续的替代方案。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第一段“This offers a sustainable alternative to today’s fashion industry, which relies heavily on oil-based fibers and chemical dyes (染料) containing heavy metals.

(2025·全国一卷·阅读理解)Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
32.How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A.By quoting an expert. B.By defining a concept.
C.By giving examples. D.By providing statistics.
33.What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A.The hardness of water. B.The length of cooling time.
C.The frequency of filtering. D.The type of plastic in water.
34.What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A.The importance of plastic recycling. B.The severity of the microplastic problem.
C.The danger in overusing pure water. D.The difficulty in treating polluted water.
35.What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A.Choice of new research methods. B.Possible direction for further study.
C.Need to involve more researchers. D.Potential application of the findings.
【答案】32.C 33.A 34.B 35.D
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于减少自来水中微塑料污染的新研究。微塑料污染已遍及全球,甚至进入人体。中国研究人员发现,将自来水煮沸五分钟并冷却后过滤可能会显著降低自来水中的微塑料含量。研究虽未涵盖所有塑料类型和化学物质,但揭示了一种潜在解决方案。苏格兰环境工程师指出,该研究展示了煮沸法的有效性,并建议升级饮用水处理厂以推广应用。
【详解】32.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans. (微塑料已经成为地球上常见的污染源——它们出现在在深海和喜马拉雅山上,被困在火山岩中,填满海鸟的胃,甚至落在南极的新雪中。它们甚至出现了在人类体内)”可推知,作者通过举例提出微塑料污染的问题。故选C。
33.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. (至关重要的是,这一过程依赖于含有足够碳酸钙的水来截留塑料。在这项研究中,将含有300毫克碳酸钙的硬水煮沸后,塑料含量下降了近90%。但在碳酸钙含量低于60毫克的样品中,煮沸只降低了25%的塑料含量)”可知,决定在水中截留微塑料的有效性的是水的硬度。故选A。
34.推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly diffcult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought. (尽管如此,研究结果显示了减少微塑料接触的潜在途径——这一任务正变得越来越困难。今年早些时候,科学家们发现,即使是瓶装水,其微塑料含量也比原先想象的高出10到1000倍。)”可推断,作者提到瓶装水是为了说明微塑料污染的严重性。故选B。
35.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.” (苏格兰格拉斯哥大学的环境工程师Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay没有参与这项研究,她告诉《新科学家》杂志:“他们展示微塑料如何在煮沸过程中被截留的方式很不错。”“我们应该考虑升级饮用水处理厂,以便它们能去除微塑料”)”可推知,Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay的建议是关于这项研究结果的潜在应用,即升级饮用水处理厂。故选D。
