    Scientists say they have found high levels of small plastic particles(颗粒) in Arctic snow. A German-Swiss research team collected snow samples(样本)from the Arctic and other areas. They included northern Germany, the Bavarian and Swiss Alps, and the North Sea island of Heligoland.When the researchers examined the samples in a laboratory, they were surprised to find very high levels of microplastics.

Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. These plastic particles are generally smaller than 5 millimeters in length. They come from the breakdown of man-made plastic products and industrial waste.

The study found the highest levels of microplastics came from the Bavarian Alps. One snow sample from the area had 154,000 microplastic particles per liter. Samples collected from the Arctic had much lower levels. However, even samples from the Arctic contained up to 14,000 particles per liter.

The study also attempted to explore how some of the material could have been carried in the atmosphere. A limited number of earlier studies did find microplastics in the air of some cities, including Paris, Tehran and Dongguan, China.

Bergmann Melanie co-wrote the report on the new study. She believes the new study clearly shows that “the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” The new study suggests that much of the microplastic found in Europe and the Arctic comes from the atmosphere and snow.

While there is growing concern about the effect of microplastics on the environment, scientists are still studying their possible harmful effects on humans and animals. “I hope the new study will lead to more research on this issue. I think  microscopic plastic particles should be included in worldwide observations of air pollution levels.We really need to know what effects microplastics have on humans, especially if inhaled with the air that we breathe.” Bergmann said.

1.Why did scientists collect samples from so many places in paragragh 1?

A.To make the research convincing.

B.To attract people to explore there.

C.To measure the length of microplastics .

D.To examine the samples easily in the lab.

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The risks of microplastics.

B.The transport of microplastics.

C.The breakdown of plastic products.

D.The description of microplastics.

3.What did the research team find about microplastics?

A.Many people threw them away at the Alps.

B.They were delivered to remote areas through air.

C.They could be caught sight of in the air.

D.They had no great effect on the environment.

4.What can be inferred from what Bergmann said in the last paragraph?

A.Scientists are worried about the the influence of microplastics.

B.We have found a practical solution to the environment problem.

C.The effect of microplastics on human must be urgently researched.

D.There is no need to change observations of air pollution levels.

 

1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北极冰雪中的微塑料,研究人员通过采集不同地区的微塑料样品探究了其传播途径以及对人类的影响。 1. 推理判断题。由文章第三、四、五段内容可知,第一段提到研究人员在许多地方采集样品是为了比较各地微塑料存在的数量,以及后期进一步研究发现微塑料可以通过空气传播,某些地区的微塑料是通过大气从另外一些地区传播来的。所以最终目标是为了得到令人信服的研究结果。故选A项。 2. 主旨大意题。由第二段“Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. These plastic particles are generally smaller than 5 millimeters in length. They come from the breakdown of man-made plastic products and industrial waste.”可知,微塑料是一种很微小的塑料片。这些微塑料通常长度会小于5毫米。它们来自于人造塑料产品和工业废料的分解物。整个段落在介绍微塑料是什么,它们的大小以及它们来自于哪里。所以是在对微塑料进行描述。故选D项。 3. 细节理解题。由第四段The study also attempted to explore how some of the material could have been carried in the atmosphere. A limited number of earlier studies did find microplastics in the air of some cities, including Paris, Tehran and Dongguan, China.(这项研究还试图探讨一些材料是如何在大气中携带的。少数早期的研究确实在一些城市的空气中发现了微塑料,包括巴黎、德黑兰和中国东莞。)以及第五段“She believes the new study clearly shows that “the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” The new study suggests that much of the microplastic found in Europe and the Arctic comes from the atmosphere and snow.(她认为这项新的研究清楚地表明,“雪中的微塑料大部分来自空气”,这项新的研究表明,在欧洲和北极发现的微塑料大部分来自大气和雪。)可知,研究人员发现雪中发现的极大多数微塑料来自于大气中,是通过空气传播的。故选B项。 4. 推理判断题。由最后一段“I hope the new study will lead to more research on this issue. I think microscopic plastic particles should be included in worldwide observations of air pollution levels. We really need to know what effects microplastics, have on humans, especially if inhaled with the air that we breathe.(我希望新的研究将导致对这个问题的更多研究。 我认为微观塑料颗粒应该包括在世界范围内对空气污染水平的观测中。 我们真的需要知道微塑料对人类有什么影响,特别是如果我们与呼吸的空气一起吸入的话。)”可知,Bergmann 提出,应该集世界之力从空气污染的角度去研究微塑料对人类生活的影响。所以Bergmann 在强调应该去研究微塑料对人类生活的影响。故选C项。

    Health and Social Care Secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced that the UK will host the first ever Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit(峰会) in London this October.This global summit aims to put mental-health care on an equal footing with the physical kind.

But there is a long way to go. One in four people will experience a mental-health problem at some point in life. In rich countries mental illnesses account for more suffering and premature death than heart disease, strokes(中风) or cancer. Meanwhile the central-African countries have just one mental-health professional per 100,000 people, a fiftieth as many as Europe has. (Less than 1% of foreign aid for health care goes towards mental health.)

As developing countries handle infectious diseases, mental health will consume a greater share of budgets and attention there. By 2020 mental-health conditions may account for 15% of the global burden of disease, but even in rich countries many people with common problems still go without treatment.

It is clear that mental illness is fast becoming one of the global health challenges of the 21st century. Until recently, this hasn’t had the profile it deserves on a global stage. The ministers gathering in London must produce new money and focus—and not just another declaration. The summit is also expected to help countries learn from each other to find the best ways to deal with increased rates of depression and anxiety among young people.

1.Which of the following best explains “on an equal footing” underlined in paragraph 1?

A.Standing up for. B.Being as important as.

C.Standing in one’s shoes. D.Having an advantage over.

2.What is the purpose of holding the meeting?

A.To find more foreign aid for health care.

B.To make a declaration on mental illnesses.

C.To solve the physical problems of the youth.

D.To stress the importance of mental health.

3.Which disease causes more premature death in rich countries?

A.Heart disease. B.Cancer.

C.Mental illness. D.Stroke.

4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.Effective measures should be taken on mental health.

B.The problem of mental illness has drawn enough attention.

C.People in developed countries suffer less mental illnesses.

D.Mental-health diseases have taken up about 15% of the global illness cases.

    Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs. White. I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! That would make my heart soar with happiness. But it worried my mother, so when she went to meet Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes, why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors.

Mrs. White explained the children were just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. She didn’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar could wait. The wonder of words wouldn’t ... And maybe she didn’t say it exactly like that, but I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence like that.

I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher—to allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression to flower—however faultily like that.

I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. Never could I quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. Eventually the e’s and a’s settled into their right places of their own accord. I’m glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.

And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no qualms about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s Beautiful.

1.How did the mother react to Mrs. White’s teaching method?

A.She paid no attention. B.She tried to correct it.

C.She quarreled with her. D.She went to consult her.

2.Why did the teacher never correct the mistakes?

A.She wanted parents to help the students.

B.She thought it was difficult to correct them.

C.She hoped to develop students’ confidence.

D.She wanted to strengthen teacher-student relationship.

3.What does the underlined word “qualm” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Relaxation B.Concern

C.Patience D.Ambition.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Life Is Beautiful B.No Pains, No Gains

C.Practice Makes Perfect D.Spelling Is Important

Masterpieces

The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a  home for the mentally ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window—the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. However, he didn’t just paint the clouds. He also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree.

His unusual use of colour has led experts to think that Van Gogh’s mental illness may have affected his sense of sight. He also took a drug that can make people see yellow spots, just like the stars in The Starry Night.

Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s unique paintings weren’t very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime. He also thought The Starry Night was a failure. However, the fact remains that The Starry Night is now one of the world’s most famous paintings.

The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear—the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream. The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange-red sky.

In his diary, Munch talked about what inspired him. “I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly the sky turned as red as blood ... I stood there shaking. Then I heard the scream of nature.”

Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch’s mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.

The Empire of Light is a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte. Between 1953 and 1954, he painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds. It seems like quite a mysterious scene.

Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas. His paintings were visual experiments as he tried to play with reality. His view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge their sense of reality.

The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in viewers. Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling. Others, however, find them calming. As for Magritte himself, he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising. “I call this power poetry,” he said.
