10、a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldnt

11、possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up wi

12、th the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still dont really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animal

13、s every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis.

14、By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And its not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as clima

15、te change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we dont have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we dont know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyo

16、ne can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.21.W

17、hy is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A.The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B.Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C.The world couldnt possibly function without plastics.D.Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.22.What can w

18、e infer about climate change?A.Climate change is caused by human activities.B.Some people hold some doubts about climate change.C.Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D.Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.23.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Ocean plastic is

19、a global issue. B.The oceans become choked with plastic.C.Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D.Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldBMany of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found t

20、hat music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, thi

21、s is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all. How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound ef

22、fect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.Two key chara

23、cteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is m

24、uch closer to that observed in quiet conditions.The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same timeone from the task and one from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the

25、 effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of wordsfrom the task and the soundare in conflict. The cost

26、 is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their produ

27、ctivity levels. 24. “Mozart effect” is mentioned to _.A. explain how music can relax people B. show music can improve performanceC. advise people to listen to Mozart music D. stress Mozart music gains wide attention 25. It can be inferred that participants in the research _.A. have improved their re

28、hearsal ability B. perform better in the quiet conditionsC. ignore the background noise successful D. prefer the music with great sound variation26. What is the best title for the passage?A. Music shapes your lifeB. Music develops your creativityC. Choose quiet music for your workD. Does music make

29、you concentrate?CThe Alexander techniqueUntil earlier this year, I didnt know anything about the Alexander techniqueand saw no reason to think I should. One day, the backache I regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothin

30、g and hope theyll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, “You actually have bad posture (姿势). Go off and learn the Alexander technique.” Three months later I could walk straighter and sit better.The Alexander technique is a way of learning how you can get rid of h

31、armful tension in your body. The teaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort. There is little effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart the Alexander technique from yoga or pil

32、ates, which are exercise-based. A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with minimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you

33、 to move them correctly.The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try folding your arms the opposite way to normal. This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carry our heads too far back. The head weighs four to six kilos, so a

34、ny inappropriate posture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines.So who was Alexander and how did he come up with the technique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian

35、actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (声音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results. He brought his technique to London and opened a teacher-training school, which is still successful tod

36、ay.So if youre walking along the road one day with shoulders bent forward, feeling weighed down by your troubles, give a thought to the Alexander technique. It will help you walk tall again.27. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1? A. She felt no better after the treatment. B. She got bored w

37、ith the Alexander technique.C. She was sceptical about the doctors method.D. She was unwilling to seek treatment for her backache.28. What is the principle of the Alexander technique? A. Physical tension shouldnt be completely relieved.B. The technique shouldnt be combined with other exercises.C. Th

38、e practice of the technique shouldnt be attempted alone.D. Familiar physical actions shouldnt be done with much effort.29. What can we learn about Frederick Alexander? A. He managed to recover his vocal powers.B. He was eager to make a name for himself.C. He developed a form of exercise for actors.D

39、. He had to leave home to develop his technique.30. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The occurrence of back pain is widespread.B. Alexander improved the technique to treat body pain.C. The Alexander technique helps overcome posture problems.D. People with back pain are victims of inappropriat
