Microplastic pollution is increasing greatly around the globe, according to a study of plastic particles (微粒) carried in the air.
People are already known to breathe, drink and eat microplastics, and research suggests that pollution levels will continue to rise rapidly. The researchers said that breathing in these particles can be harmful to lung tissue and lead to serious diseases.
Professor Natalie Mahowald, at Cornell University in the US and part of the research team, said, “But maybe we could solve this before it becomes a huge problem, if we manage our plastics better, before they accumulate in the environment and move around everywhere.” The research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Acadenry of Sciences, examined airborne (空气传播的) microplastics, which have been far less, studied than plastics in oceans and rivers.
The team gathered more than 300 samples of airborne microplastics from 11 sites across the western US. These were the basis for atmospheric modeling that estimated the contribution from different sources. They found that roads were the main factor in the western US, linked to about 85% of the microplastics in the air. These are likely to include particles from tires and brake pads on vehicles, and plastics from litter that had been broken down.
The researchers extended their modeling work to a global level and this suggested that while roads are also likely to be the major driver of airborne plastics in Europe, South America and Australia, plastic particles blown up from fields may be a much bigger factor in Africa and Asia.
Professor Andreas Stohl of the University of Vienna’s Faculty of Earth Sciences said, “The study confirms the global-scale nature of microplastic transport in the atmosphere and does a good job in highlighting highly relevant and concerning possibilities, but more measurement data is needed to get a better idea of the sources.”
24．What can breathing in microplastics result in
A．Inability to eat and drink. B．Losing the sense of hearing.
C．Suffering from lung diseases. D．Temporary loss of consciousness
25．How does the author organize Paragraph 4
A．By giving examples. B．By presenting statistics.
C．By making comparisons. D．By making a definition.
26．What may contribute most to the microplastic pollution in India
A．Human activities. B．Particles from fields.
C．Particles from tires and litter. D．Changes of the environment.
27．What can we learn from Stohl’s words
A．The nature of microplastic transport is misunderstood.
B．The potential damage of microplastic pollution is ignored.
C．The way of collecting samples of microplastics should be improved.
D．More data needs collecting to understand the sources of microplastics.
C
For many people, Christmas is a time to cozy up inside with yummy treats and pretty decorations while the snow falls outside. However, people living in nursing homes often have few family members to celebrate with.
In 2009, Patricia Gallagher in Philadelphia were aware of this so she decided to bring a Christmas book to different nursing homes and read for people. She said, “I just got this idea in my head to call two nursing homes at random and ask if my mother and I could come and read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.’” The nursing homes were more than happy to welcome her in and the residents of those homes were equally thrilled. Thus, her holiday tradition started.
To go along with the book reading, Patricia brought some of her kids’ stuffed animals so the senior residents could hold them while she read the story.
But, when it was time to pack up and go to the next nursing home, Patricia found that no one wanted to give the stuffed animals back! She said, “It was just a nursing home with a lot of elderly people sitting in wheelchairs. And all of a sudden, the whole room became alive with jingling bells and they really didn’t want to give them back because they thought we had given them a gift.”
Seeing the joy that a simple present can bring, Patricia had the idea to gather stuffed animals and dolls as a gift for senior citizens living in nursing homes. Then, she put an ad up for gently used stuffed animals on a website. It wasn’t long before the local communities and schools started hosting stuffed animal collections on her behalf. In just two years, she collected more than 11,000 stuffed animals to gift people!
With so many stuffed animals, Patricia started offering gifts to people living in homes for veterans (退伍军人) as well. She said, “These stuffed animals not only bring people joy, but bring back the memories of their childhood and give them some comfort.”
28．What did Patricia do in 2009 according to the passage
A．She found a good job in a nursing home. B．She spent her holiday reading for the elderly.
C．She visited her best friends in a nursing home. D．She sent some cute animals to lonely strangers.
29．Why did the seniors refuse to give stuffed animals back
A．The stuffed animals were broken. B．The stuffed animals were donated by others.
C．They wanted to purchase the stuffed animals. D．They regarded the stuffed animals as their gifts.
30．Which of the following can best describe Patricia
A．Sympathetic and generous. B．Influential and creative.
C．Enthusiastic and genuine. D．Ambitious and. humble.
31．What can be the best title for the text
A．A Nursing Home Is Many People’s Home
B．The Elderly Deserve More Care And Love
C．A Woman Gifts Stuffed Animals to Senior Citizens
D．A Family Tradition Helps Hundreds of Lonely People
D
If you’ve ever felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, you’re likely getting signals from an unexpected source: your second brain. Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain in your gut (肠道) ” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood and health. Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system (ENS 肠神经系统).
The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gut. Unlike the big brain in your head, the ENS can’t calculate or compose a love note. “Its main role is controlling digestion,” explains Jay Pasricha, M.D．, director of the Johns Hopkins Center. “The enteric nervous system doesn’t seem capable of thought as we know it, but it communicates back and forth with our big brain.” For decades, researchers and doctors thought that anxiety and depression contributed to gut problems. But Pasricha’s research shows that it can also be the other way around.
Our two brains “talk” to each other, so treatments that help one may help the other. In a way, doctors who treat digestive conditions are like advisors looking for ways to comfort the second brain. Psychological approaches also help to improve communications between the big brain and the brain in our gut.
Pasricha says the research suggests that digestive-system activity may affect thinking skills and memory, too. “This is an area that needs more research, something we hope to do here at Johns Hopkins,” he says.
32．Why does the author mention “butterflies in your stomach” in paragraph 1
A．To show the power of the ENS. B．To prove the origin of the idiom.
C．To explain why you’re very nervous. D．To engage the readers with the topic.
33．What does Pasricha’s research tell us
A．The main role of the ENS has changed. B．Depression contributes to gut problems.
C．The ENS affects what happens in the brain. D．Gut problems are different from what they were.
34．What is the benefit of Pasricha’s research
A．It helps to prevent stomach problems. B．It leads to further brain improvement.
C．It creates new treatment opportunities. D．It gives a guide for better communication.
35．What do we learn from the last paragraph
A．The research proves quite fruitful.
B．There is still more to learn about mind-gut link.
C．Digestive-system activity has other bad influence.
D．Pasricha is determined to improve people’s memory.

72．One possible version:
Having been actively involved in the sports events in my school, I participated in a running race during the annual sports meet held last Friday.
Faced with fifteen strong competitors, I had butterflies in my stomach since I thought it challenging to win first place. At the sound of the starting signal out rushed all the runners. I did everything I could to keep up with them. Minutes later, before I knew it I became the second fastest runner. With strong will, I was the first to reach the finish line.
Exhausted and sweaty as I was, I had never felt so proud and delighted.

Alex Lin is a 16-year-old boy. One day, he read about something called e-waste in the newspaper. He learned that when people buy new computers, TV sets, phones, washing machines, etc., they simply throw the old ones away. These things are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Alex also learned that e-waste is dangerous to the environment. He decided to do something about it. To help stop e-waste, Alex got help from a charity group called WIN. WIN sends people the message about e-waste and gives people a chance to recycle and reuse their e-waste. Alex also found there’s a project run by WIN that helps the environment and people’s lives. With the help of WIN, Alex saved more than 200 pounds of e-waste that was about to be thrown away. They fixed about 300 computers and gave half of them to the students in Alex’s town. They also set up two computer centers for schools. Now they are trying to work with the United Nations Environment Programme. The computer centers will donate computers to the poor students in Central America and Africa.
