26、It seems there’s nowhere left to run from the microplastic (微塑料的)pollution. A small pilot study recently took microplastics from one of Europe’s most distant places, the French Pyrenees mountains, and found as many microplastics in the soil as you might expect from a big city like Paris.

The reason? The wind. Researchers now fear that our planet’s winds can pick up microplastics from about anywhere and transport them around the world, sometimes in large quantities. “We’d kind of expected it in a city getting blown around,” said Steve Allen from the University of Strathclyde in the UK, one member of the team. “But way up there? We expected to find some, ” he said. “We didn’t expect to find so many.”

Microplastics are pieces smaller than a fifth of an inch that have broken down from larger pieces of plastic. The forces of nature don’t distinguish (区分)between materials like stones and rocks, and plastics. Wind and waves hit plastics and break them down just the same, making them into dust that can then get swept up by the gentle wind and into the atmosphere. It’s a continuing environmental concern, as more and more microplastics find their way into our food and air.

The fact that microplastics can be found in large numbers even in distant places is a sign that is has become a global pollution problem. Steve Allen and his team set up collectors 4,500 feet up in the mountains for five months to trap plastic particles (粒子) as they fell to the Earth. The team found that an average of 365 plastic particles fell on their square meter collector daily. This included bits form plastic bags, plastic film and packaging material, among other plastic sources. Many of these materials were small enough to be breathed in without even realizing it. They’re in the air, and they’re everywhere.

【1】How did Steve Allen think of the finding?

A．It was interesting.

B．It was surprising.

C．It was conflicting.

D．It was disappointing.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．How the wind spreads the microplastics.

B．How the microplastics come into being.

C．How the microplastic pollution appears.

D．How the wind makes the pollution serious.

【3】What do we know about the plastic particles?

A．It is difficult to collect them.

B．They all come from big cities.

C．They are part of the air we breathe.

D．It is impossible to know their source.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Plastics have been found in the distant areas.

B．Plastics are proved to do great harm to the soil.

C．The microplastic pollution is worse in big cities.

D．Wind is carrying microplastics around the world.

27、   Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution, according to the Reuters news agency.

Singapore covers 724 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture. Food production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia. As climate change and population growth threaten food supplies, the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government's call to “grow more with less".

"Whenever 1 talk about food security in Sin gapore, I tell people don't think land —think space, because you can go upwards and sideways." said Paul Teng, an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.

There are more than 30 vertical (垂直的)farms in Singapore — ones that grow up, not across, the land. Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses. Its hydroponic (水栽法的) farm grows non-native foods like cherry tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting. Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores. Sustenir raised $16 million from investors (投资人)last year. The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore.

However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer William Ho says the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses. “ Many of them have failed. That's why I'm always asking the government why don't you invest in us old-timers. We are more practical," he said. Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too pricey for many people .

【1】What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?

A. High food production costs.

B. Reasons for changes in agriculture.

C. Agricultural technology businesses.

D. Sale expansion of food markets

【2】What is the way to achieve food security according to Paul Teng?

A. Exploring up the land. B. Buying more food.

C. Enlarging farmland. D. Investing more money.

【3】What do we know about the old-timers?

A. They work on high-tech farms.

B. They benefit from pricey products.

C. They reduce production costs.

D. They need government support

【4】Where is this text probably taken from?

A. A guidebook. B. A brochure C. A newspaper. D. A journal.
