Plastic pollution has long been a problem, but now it’s gotten to a new height - literally.
Microplastics, referring to plastic fragments and particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter, have been found on Mount Qomolangma as high as 8,440 meters above sea level, just 408.86 meters below the peak of the mountain, according to a recent study published in the journal One Earth.
“These are the highest microplastics （ever）discovered so far; ” lead author Imogen Napper from the University of Plymouth, UK, said in a statement.
Scientists collected snow and water samples from 19 different locations from 4,200 meters above sea level all the way up to the summit of Mount Qomolangma. They found microplastics in all the water samples and part of the snow smaples. The most polluted smaple was from the Base Camp in Nepal, where most human activity on the mountain is connecntrated. It had 79 particles of microplastics per liter of snow.
The harsh fact is taht plastic pollution has reached even the most remote places on Earth. Reserchers even found a plastic bag at the deepest point in the world’s oceans - in the Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific Ocean. The bag is the same as the ones commonly used in grocery stores.
Even covered in ice, the Arctic is still a victiom of plastic pollution. A 2020 report published in Nature suggests that there are 2,000 to 17,000 plastic particles per cubic meter in Aretic ice cores, and between 0 to 18 microplastic particles per cubic meter from the water beneath ice floes. Expats think microplastics may be transported by air and then reach the North Pole in snowfall.
“What we don’t yet fully know is the potential problems these tiny pieces of plastic could be having to ecosystems, to organisms and even to our own health as well, ” said Christian Dunn of Bangor University, UK.
Then what can we do “We need to start focusing on deeper technological solutions that focus on microplastics, like changing fabri（织物）design and incorporating natural fibers instead of plastic when possible, ” Napper said.
54. Why does the writer say plastic pollution has got to a new height
A. The glboal plastic pollution problem can never by any worse.
B. The consumption of plastic products has peaked at an incredible levle.
C. A significant breakthrough has been made in the research on plastic pollution.
D. Microplastics are found about 400 meters below the peak of the highest mountain.
55. The researchers carried our their research mainly by ______.
A. documenting the human activities in the Base Camp in Nepal
B. interviewing scientists from famous unviersities all over the world
C. testing the snow and water samples collected from different places
D. comparing the plastics found in remote areas with those in daily life
56. Which of the following statements is FALSE
A. Human activities speed up the spread of plastic pollution.
B. The impact of microplastics on ecosystems is quite obvious.
C. Microplastics are available in the air, water, snow and earth.
D. Using natural materials is one of the ways to reduce plastic pollution.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. People are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.B. The giant pandas will smell their bamboo repeatedly after grabbing a stalk.C. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily, and they can also be quite picky.D. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US.E. But countries are still trying their best to facilitate（促进）this special type of diplomacy.F. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries and generally they are to be returned to China after 10 years.
Pandas are not only a national streasure, but are loved around the world. Recently, a giant panda cub born in August at the Smithsnian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as“little miracle”. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the name was not chosen until 100 days after the birth.
This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring - and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. “Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so up-lifting to all of us during the pandemic（瘟疫）, ” Chinese Ambassador（大使）to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “ 57 ”
The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “panda diplomacy”. According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor. China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China and given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. 58
But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one significant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. 59 They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have bloossomed.
It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported. In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its impart laws and quarantine methods, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two giant pandas back to China.
60 “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange, ” Steven Monfort, director of the smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China daily.
Ⅳ. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
For some people, certain foods can be deadly. Around the world, children are far more likely than even before to develop food allergies（过敏）. Scientists say that the number of people with food allergies is rising, as well as the number of foods to which they’re allergic.
In the US, for example, allergy rates among children were rising from 2010 to 2016, according to the Childhood Allergics in America report. In the UK, the number of children admitted to the hospital with severe allergic reactions has also risen every year for the past five years, the BBC reported.
“In the past, more often than not, children were only allergic to one or maybe two foods ... whereas now it’s very common to see children allergic to two or three or more foods, ” said Hugh Sampson, a professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City, US.
The era of globalization has a role to play in the increase of allergies. As countries import exotic products, people are more likely to adopt foreign diets. One example is an increased allergy to kiwis in the US. “Everything is so global now. We’re getting exposed to foods that we never had before, ” Sampson said.
Environmental factors may also play a large role: Migrants appear to be more likely to have food allergy and asthma （哮喘）in their adopted country in comparison to their country of origin, according to the BBC. As globalization accelerates（加速）migration, more people will tend to experience food allergies.
Changers in food manufacturing could explain the global rise in allergies as well. For example, people are more likely to be allergic to dry-roasted peanuts - common in the US, UK and Autsralia than boiled or fried peanuts, which are common in China. “The Chinese eat the same amount of peanut per capita as we do. They introduce it early in a sort of a boiled type form, as they do in many African countries, and they have very low rates of peanut allergies, ” Sampson said. This suggests that how and when the food is introduced is as important a factor as the food itself.
Food allergy awareness has increased during recent years, but there’s more work to be done to udnerstand and deal with its rise.
