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

18、to work, 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.“E

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.

Named by Facebook fans, Octavius the octopus was a star appearing on national news stations. To make the most of their project,

21、the boys 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.

Most experts agree that the proper numbe

26、r of hours 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 stu

27、dents in 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

28、 the article, 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 sh

29、ould be 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

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. Doubtfu

33、lDThough 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 Environmen

34、tal Research 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

35、variety 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-plasti

36、cs）. The 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,

37、 the authors 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）.”T

38、his study 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 rai

39、ses yet 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.

40、What is 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

41、fruit pulp.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 b

42、ody.D. It 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,

100、y 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 Research has found that fruits and vegetables absorb micro

101、plastic 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, broc

102、coli, 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 samples were purchased from different sources in the

103、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 authors wrote, “We can assume that the fruits contain mor

104、e 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 study is important because its the first to detect micropl

105、astics 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 another red flag about microplastic pollution in the n

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

108、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. It showed the influences of MPs on plants.15. What do t

109、he 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.

He got to
