The tradition began in 2012, after a family fishing trip in Florida, where Connor, then 17, caught a puffer fish. It encouraged the boys to make a super-sized fish out of snow. So they got to work,

18、 collecting as much snow as possible from around their neighborhood. After eight hours of shoveling（用铲子铲）and sculpting snow their 5-foot-tall puffer fish was complete. And it was a big hit! Before long. the locals and TV reporters began stopping by their front yard to enjoy their creation.“Each wint

19、er, we decide which sea animals would work best and be the most fun to build,” Trevor said. Since 2012, theyve made a shark, a turtle, an octopus（章鱼）and so, on, Their favorite is the octopus, which they built in 2016.

21、 decided to raise money for a good cause. “Given that our work is made from snow, it made sense to collect money to help provide drinking water to people in need,” Austin said.

22、 brothers had raised $17, 263!

They arent able to do their best unless they sleep well. Most experts agree that the proper number of hou

26、rs is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that-and sometimes this affects your schoolwork.I read an article in a teachers magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in

27、 a senior school. Worryingly, the results suggested that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number wake up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of FOMO-the fear of missing out!According to the art

28、icle, schoolchildren suffer because of an increasing trend to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a message or chance to take part in a discussion, teens wake up at all times of the night to go online and join up with social groups. All this happens when they should be

29、sound asleep.The report gives some worrying numbers. 23% of 12-to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason. As a result, one in three students are constantly exhausted and unable to do well at school.So, Id like to ask

30、you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave and turn off your phones and computers at night. The world wont end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning. I give you my word that you wont have missed anything important.8. What is the new trend among teenager

According to the passage, what is FOMO?A. A fear of going online.B. A need to go out all the time.C. A fear

32、of losing touch on social media.D. A need to use the latest technology.10. Which of the following best explains the underlined word in Paragraph 4?A. disappointedB. surprisedC. confusedD. tired11. Whats the author attitude towards this trend?A. UninterestedB. SupportiveC. ConcernedD. DoubtfulDThough

33、 you might think you were taking care of your health by eating enough fruit and vegetables every day, new research has come out suggesting that you might be swallowing microplastic particles（微塑科颗粒）along with all those vitamins, minerals, and fibre. A study published in the journal Environmental Rese

34、arch has found that fruits and vegetables absorb microplastic particles from the soil and move them through vegetal tissues, where they remain until eaten by hungry diners, thus getting transferred to human bodies. The researchers, who are from the University of Catania in Italy, analyzed a variety

35、of common fruits and vegetables-carrots, lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, apples, and pears. These were chosen for the fact that they are frequently consumed, usually one per day, which allowed the researchers to better assess the dietary intakes of MPs（microplastic particles）and NPs（nano-plastics）. The

36、 samples were purchased from different sources in the city of Catania, including a small fruit vendor and a supermarket. The researchers found that apples, followed by pears, were the most polluted fruit samples, and carrots were the most polluted vegetable. In the studys discussion section, the aut

37、hors wrote, “We can assume that the fruits contain more MPs not only because of the very high vascularization（血资化）of the fruit pulp（果肉）but also due to the greater size and complexity of the root system and age of the tree（several years）compared to the vegetables（60-75 days for the carrot）.”This stud

38、y is important because its the first to detect microplastics in fruits and vegetables. They have been found in other sources before, such as sea salt, beer, water（bottled, in particular）, shellfish, sugar, soil, and even air, but never inside fresh produce. Its an alarming discovery that raises yet

39、another red flag about microplastic pollution in the natural environment.Its an area that will likely see a lot more attention in coming years, with the study authors calling for further research into the question of microplastic and whether it harms the health of both plants and humans.12. What is

40、the study about?A. The main cause of soil pollution.B. The great changes in peoples diets.C. The microplastic pollution in fruits and vegetables.D. The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.13. What may cause fruits to contain more MPs according to the authors?A. The large amounts of the fruit pu

41、lp.B. The planting method.C. The complex preservation method.D. The long growth period of fruit trees.14. What makes the study quite special?A. It discovered MPs in fresh produce for the first time.B. It proved the source of microplastic pollutionC. It presented the danger of MPs to humans body.D. I

42、t showed the influences of MPs on plants.15. What do the study authors think of the research on microplastic?A. It has raised peoples awareness of health.B. It wasted them quite a lot of time.C. It needs to be further studied.D. It has attracted peoples attention to diets.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分

93、However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that-and sometimes this affects your schoolwork.I read an article in a teachers magazine recently.

100、 enough fruit and vegetables every day, new research has come out suggesting that you might be swallowing microplastic particles（微塑科颗粒）along with all those vitamins, minerals, and fibre. A study published in the journal Environmental Research has found that fruits and vegetables absorb microplastic

101、particles from the soil and move them through vegetal tissues, where they remain until eaten by hungry diners, thus getting transferred to human bodies. The researchers, who are from the University of Catania in Italy, analyzed a variety of common fruits and vegetables-carrots, lettuce, broccoli, po

102、tatoes, apples, and pears. These were chosen for the fact that they are frequently consumed, usually one per day, which allowed the researchers to better assess the dietary intakes of MPs（microplastic particles）and NPs（nano-plastics）. The samples were purchased from different sources in the city of

103、Catania, including a small fruit vendor and a supermarket. The researchers found that apples, followed by pears, were the most polluted fruit samples, and carrots were the most polluted vegetable. In the studys discussion section, the authors wrote, “We can assume that the fruits contain more MPs no

104、t only because of the very high vascularization（血资化）of the fruit pulp（果肉）but also due to the greater size and complexity of the root system and age of the tree（several years）compared to the vegetables（60-75 days for the carrot）.”This study is important because its the first to detect microplastics i

105、n fruits and vegetables. They have been found in other sources before, such as sea salt, beer, water（bottled, in particular）, shellfish, sugar, soil, and even air, but never inside fresh produce.

What is the study about?A. The main cause of soil pollution.B. The gre

107、at changes in peoples diets.C. The microplastic pollution in fruits and vegetables.D. The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.13.

108、. The long growth period of fruit trees.14. What makes the study quite special?A. It discovered MPs in fresh produce for the first time.B. It proved the source of microplastic pollutionC.

109、 authors think of the research on microplastic?A. It has raised peoples awareness of health.B. It wasted them quite a lot of time.C. It needs to be further studied.D.
