26、Microplastics —   tiny pieces of plastic waste less than five millimetres long that have been degraded by waves, wind and ultraviolet rays — have been discovered in the deepest oceanic trenches and within the stomachs of the organisms that live there, but we have little idea about where the great majority of them end up. More than eight million tonnes of plastic enters our oceans every year, comprising between 80 and 85 percent of all marine trash, but with inadequate data, there are concerns that these figures could be underestimates.

Currently, most of the data we have on microplastics are accidentally captured by research ships, which use plankton nets to collect marine-microorganism samples. However, researchers Christopher Ruf and Madeline Evans from the University of Michigan have discovered an innovative way to identify and track concentrations of microplastics in the ocean.

The technique relies on NASA’s Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), a constellation of eight micro-satellites used to predict hurricanes that calculate wind speeds above the ocean by measuring the roughness of surface waters. As the satellites are continuously recording, Ruf and Evans realised that they collect a great deal of additional data. It was while analysing these data that they noticed some differences-times where the surface of the ocean appeared to be much smoother than it should, given the prevailing wind (盛行风) conditions.

Knowing that water isn’t roughened as much when it contains a lot of floating material, Ruf and Evans identified a pattern that linked areas of unusual smoothness and predicted microplastic distributions. They found that the difference between their measurements, and how much rougher the surface would be if winds of the same speed were blowing across clear water, was “highly correlated with the presence of microplastics, and the degree of the difference also correlated with the concentration of the plastics.”

The research reveals that there are seasonal variations,where the concentrations of microplastics tend to be higher in the summer and lower in the winter in a very clean, periodic way, which Ruf explains mirrors the way in which the ocean circulation changes throughout the year. It also confirms, as was previously thought, that rivers are the main source of ocean microplastics.

Raising awareness of the issue of ocean microplastics among the public and politicians is just one of the researchers’ future aims; they are also in conversation with Duteh non-profit The Ocean Cleanup and Finnish clean-technology specialist Clewat, which are interested in using the information to more efficiently target their trash-collection campaigns.

So far, only one year’s worth of data have been processed since CYGNSS was launched in 2016. By looking at a longer time period, Ruf and Evans aim to determine whether the seasonal pattern is repeatable, and whether the concentration of micmplastics in the ocean is getting worse.

【1】What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?

A．The limited knowledge about ocean microplastics.

B．The harm of ocean microplastics to sea creatures.

C．The methods of degrading ocean microplasties.

D．The previous research on ocean microplasties.

A．has offered data about the repeatable seasonal pattern

B．guides research ships to gather data about sea animals

C．provides unexpected data about the changes of sea surface

D．was designed to measure the distribution of ocean microplastics

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Microplastics will end up in the stomachs of the ocean organisms.

B．Mlicroplastics play a vital role in the yearly ocean circulation changes.

C．The surface of the ocean can get smoother with more microplastics in it.

D．The new way of tracking microplastics has helped prevent ocean pollution.

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce the technology of CYGNSS.

B．To present a way to study ocean microplastics.

C．To test an assumption on ocean microplastics.

D．To propose a new means of protecting the ocean.

27、   Some people say summer is the time when teachers should get more pay. But not everyone is grateful to teachers for keeping kids occupied (无空闲的) between August and June: Washington state representative Liz Pike has written a Facebook post, titled “A life in the day of a WA state representative,” and responded to teachers’ complaints of rising costs of living. The post has received criticism for being anti-teacher. After reading her post, I feel that Liz Pike should rethink her criticism of public school teaching and avoid comparing it to the private school.

Many of us teachers would certainly like teaching to be more like the private school. We see nothing wrong with fair pay for fair performance. In fact, performance is the name of the game. With standardized testing popular throughout K-12 education, teachers are some of the most analyzed and performance-measured employees in the United States. Liz Pike is very angry that teachers want raises even while test scores are dropping. Well, how are we supposed to have discipline (纪律) in the classroom when our hands are tied and we can hardly do anything with naughty students or fail students who are not prepared to move on to the next grade?

Teachers would love to be able to turn education around and improve student performance. But we can’t, and we should not suffer for it. Unlike private school businesses, public schools cannot turn away “customers”. A private school business serves customers who walk through the door of their own free will, while public schools have to educate students who only attend because courts say they must.

She says those who are “uninspired” by a lack of a cost of living increase should give up teaching. Is this the message that she thinks should be sent to the students whose academic performance she claims (声称) to care so much about? That “if you love it you’ll shut up and not stand up for yourself”? I think teachers should stand up for themselves and I also think supporting teachers can make teachers teach children how to stand up for themselves.

【1】What is Liz Pike’s opinion?

A.Teachers shouldn’t ask for a pay rise. B.Teachers should be treated equally.

C.Teachers should accept public criticism. D.Teachers shouldn’t give students much homework.

【2】What problem do teachers in public schools face in the author’s opinion?

A.Their performance is not measured.

B.They are under the control of a system of rules.

C.They can’t master the correct teaching method.

D..Many schools are becoming private.

【3】The underlined word “customers” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _____.

A.students B.teachers

C.clever businessmen D.private schools

【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.

A.some teachers are not excellent enough

B.teachers shouldn’t complain about their living costs

C.supporting teachers is helpful to students

D.Liz Pike doesn’t care about students’ academic performance

28、Joel Boyers and his friend, Melody Among, were heading home from the Nashville airport when he received a call from a stranger in Pennsylvania. The caller told Boyers that her brother and his two daughters were trapped on their roof in Waverly, 60 miles from Nashville. They were surrounded by rising floodwaters caused by record-breaking rains and didn’t think they would survive.

Desperate, the caller had typed “Nashville helicopters” into the Web search engine, and Boyers’s company, Helistar Aviation, was the first to pop up. She begged Boyers to rescue her loved ones. Boyers looked west toward Waverly and saw the storm clouds. “Ma’am,” he said, “No one will fly in this weather, and for good reason.”

But even before he finished the sentence, Boyers knew that he would go back up. “I’ve got a daughter myself,” he said. He put the brother’s address into his phone, then he and Among, drove back to the airport. Soon, they were in the air, unprepared for what they were about to see in Waverly. It was nothing but raging water below them. People were holding tightly onto anything that didn’t move—roofs, trees, poles.

The flooding took out cell phone service, meaning Boyers couldn’t use his phone to accurately point out the house he was looking for. He flew on anyway. As Boyers piloted his helicopter, Among began searching for people left atop roofs and bridges — anywhere Boyers could land and get them on board. One man they had rescued pointed to a teenager holding on to a tree, who was barely out of the water. Since there was no place for Boyers to land, he lowered the helicopter until it hovered (盘旋) just above the water line. The rescued man helped the teen get into the helicopter. Then Boyers carefully lifted off. After dropping off the teen on a patch of land, he and Among were back in the air.

Ninety minutes after Boyers and Among began their mission, professional rescue helicopters showed up. It was good timing — Boyers and Among were almost out of fuel after rescuing 17 people. As for the woman who originally contacted Boyers, she called back to say that her brother and his daughters had also been saved.

【1】What happened when Boyers was heading home from the airport?

A．His company got a lot of attention online.

B．His daughters were trapped in a flood.

C．He was asked to help flood victims.

D．He received a call from his brother.

【2】What was Boyers’s main challenge in his attempt to rescue the teen?

A．There was no cell phone service.

B．His helicopter was running out of fuel.

C．There was no place for him to land safely.

D．The record-breaking rain blocked his view.

【3】Which of the following words can best describe Boyers?

A．Courageous and sympathetic.

B．Cooperative and optimistic.

C．Cautious and outgoing.

D．Calm and ambitious.

【4】Which of the following is the right order of the events?

a. Boyers failed to locate the house he was looking for.

b. A flood hit Waverly because of record-breaking rains.

c. Professional rescuers arrived at Waverly to offer help.

d. Boyers managed to drop off a teen on a patch of land.

A．c→a→d→b

C．b→a→c→d

D．b→a→d→c

29、Each year, millions of children around the world are unable to go to school. To draw attention to this widespread problem, the United Nations (UN) is putting education first. Recently, the UN screened a documentary film (纪录片) called Back to School. The film is the second in a series of documentaries for the 12-­year project “Time for School”.

These films follow seven children from seven different countries. This 12­year project began in 2003, when the children first started school. “This is something we could do to help the education crisis in the world,” said producer and writer Judy Katz. “Documentary film­makers can get deeply involved in a problem and do something about it.”

More than 100 million children will never set foot in schools, sixty percent of whom are girls. Cheryl Faye, head of the UN Girls Education Initiative, spoke about the many factors that prevent girls from getting an education. One problem is the long distance many children must travel to get to school. Also, girls in many cultures are traditionally expected to marry early and work to help their families. “We need to make a special effort for girls,” Faye said.

As part of the UN’s goals, the organization wants every single child to get at least an elementary education by 2015.

Students from Lawrence Middle School in New York were deeply moved after they saw the film. The seventh-grade class is raising money to help build a library on the outskirts (郊区) of Nairobi, Kenya, where Joab—a child in the documentary lives. The class teacher, Karen Weiner, and the class are known in their school as the “Kenya crew”. All the kids were really happy to support Joab and said they felt great about their fund-raising efforts. Like the seventh-graders at Lawrence Middle School, kids can work together to make a difference in places like Nairobi. By raising money for education, kids can help children on the other side of the world have a chance at a better, happier life.

【1】What is the purpose of the UN screening a documentary film Back to School?

A．To raise funds for global education.

B．To show the achievements which have been made in the past few years.

C．To raise public awareness of the need for global education.

D．To encourage all the children to come back to school.

【2】Why should special efforts be made for girls?

A．Because more than one half of the children who never go to school are girls.

B．Because more than 100 million girls will never go to school.

C．Because most of the girls are tired of going to school.

D．Because sixty percent of the children in the world are girls.

【3】Which of the following could NOT be the factor that prevents girls from getting an education?

A．Long distance from school.

B．Helping work for the family.

C．Early marriage.

D．Being born weak.

【4】Why are the class teacher, Karen Weiner, and the class considered as “Kenya crew”?

A．Because they all have the same experience as Joab--the Kenya child.

B．Because they are the actors in the documentary film Back to School.

C．Because they are mostly from Kenya, where the child in the documentary lives.

D．Because they are trying their great efforts to raise money for the education of Kenya children.

【5】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．American middle school students’ desire to go to Kenya.

B．The content of the documentary film Back to School.

C．An example of being inspired to take action after seeing the film.

D．How students from Lawrence Middle School raise money for their education.
