Micro plastics are tiny bits of plastic often too small to be seen. Plastic doesn’t decompose like natural materials. Instead, it just breaks into smaller and smaller pieces. No one knows exactly how much plastic is in the oceans. Since the sea is so large and so deep, it s hard to get a good idea of how much plastic it contains. But in recent years, scientists have made greater efforts to get a more accurate idea.
Some studies have suggested that since 1950, about 17 million metric tons of plastic have entered the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists believe that the plastic previously found on beaches and on the surface of the water is only about 1% of all the plastic in the oceans. Researchers from the United Kingdom (UK) want to find out where the other 99% was.
For two months in 2016 the researchers took samples at 12 different locations in the Atlantic Ocean from the UK to South America. They collect water samples from three different depths in the top 200 meters. By running the water through special filters (过滤器), they were able to collect the micro plastics, which they could view and study with a microscope.
Based on their measurements, the researchers learned that just the top 200 meters of the Atlantic Ocean holds between 12 and 21 million metric tons of plastics. But the Atlantic Ocean is very deep, and the scientists only checked the top 200 meters. They say that if microplastics are spread through the rest of the Atlantic like they were in the top 200 meters, thin there are probably about 200 million metric tons of microplastics in the Atlantic Ocean.
Though the scientists only studied the Atlantic ocean the results suggest that there may be far more microplastic in all oceans than we realized. The problems go far beyond ocean pollution. Microplastic particles have been found just in everywhere around the world from Antarctica to the bottom of the sea.
Scientist predict that the amount of plastic entering our oceans is likely to triplet over the next 20 years. Having a good idea of how much plastic is already then might be a good first step to fighting the problem.
24. What does the underlined word “decompose” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. turn up B. break down C. give off D. bring out
25. What is the latest idea about the plastic in the seas
A. Previous data of plastic consists of only a very small part.
B. There is only 17 million metric ton of plastic on the earth.
C. The amount of plastic in the seas is on the decrease in recent years.
D. The amount of plastic in the seas is increasing by 1 % yearly.
26. What is the author’s attitude according to the text
A. Pessimistic. B. Confident. C. Objective. D. Conserved.
27. What does the author expect to take place
A. More pollutants will turn out in the future.
B. Measures will be taken to deal with plastic.
C. The oceans will be cleaned in the future.
D. More people will be aware of plastic pollution.
C
Sound may offer a creative way to take the ocean’s temperature. Climate change is steadily warming the seas, which have absorbed about 90 percent of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. This warming contributes to sea-level rise, endangers species and influences weather patterns.
But tracking the warming is tricky. Ship-based observations capture only snapshots in time over a tiny portion of the water. Satellite observations cannot enter very deep below the surface. The most detailed picture of ocean heat comes from Argo, which can drop down to around 6,500 feet. But there are only about 4,000 such floats, and they cannot sample deeper parts of the oceans.
In Science, researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences compared the travel speeds of sounds produced by undersea earthquakes to detect ocean warming over wider areas. Because sound travels faster in warmer water, differences in speed can reveal changing temperatures. “They’re opening up a whole new area of study,” says Princeton University geophysicist Frederik Simons, who was not involved in the research.
Inspired by those early efforts to measure ocean heat with sound, Caltech researcher Wenbo Wu thought to monitor low-frequency sound waves sent out by earthquakes below the seafloor. “I know these earthquakes are very powerful sources,” Wu says, “So why not try to use the earthquakes ”
He and his team tested the idea near Indonesia’s island of Nias, where the Indo-Australian Plate is bumping under the Sunda Plate. The researchers gathered sound data from 4,272 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater from 2004 to 2016, and they compared sound wave speeds from quakes that originated in the same spot over the years. By modeling the differences, often just fractions of a second, they found that the ocean near Nias was warming by about 0.08 degree Fahrenheit per decade—more than the 0.047 degree F suggested by Argo’s data. Less than one degree F does not sound large, but it takes considerable heat to warm the entire eastern Indian Ocean.
The new method is promising, says University of Hawaii oceanographer Bruce Howe, who was not involved in the work. Meanwhile Simons and his colleagues are exploring an alternative technique, employing dozens of underwater microphones called hydrophones to catch more earthquake sounds. He notes that finding out the floats’ precise locations will be challenging, however. Overcoming such challenges would fill in important gaps, Wu says, “We really need different methods of gathering the data as much as possible.”
28. What do people do to take ocean’s temperature
A. Ships sail across all the oceans to take photos.
B. Satellites are used to provide data on ocean heat.
C. Argo enters the deepest seas for detailed pictures.
D. The numbers of floats hit a record high for samples.
29. Why can sound be a method for detecting ocean warming
A. Because its speed varies with the temperature of water.
B. Because it accompanies earthquakes below the seafloor.
C. Because it is approved by Chinese and US researchers.
D. Because its value has been proved by previous efforts.
30. What is the similarity between the researches by Wu and Simons
A. They use hydrophones as floats.
B. They exchange their data with Argo.
C. They meet the same trouble at work.
D. They employ new research methods.
31. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Undersea earthquakes B. Climate and seas
C. Sound and ocean heat D. New method found
D
Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patient — to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (变矮小) by greater needs: the need to protect from brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy; to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months Is it best to tell him the truth If he asks, should the doctor reject that he is ill, or minimize fee gravity of the illness Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patient’s own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate (恶化) faster, perhaps even commit suicide.
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians; a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanly conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after operation.
There is urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception (欺骗). Yet the public has every reason to know professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”
32. What is the passage mainly about
A. Whether patients really want to know the truth of their condition.
B. Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.
C. Whether different studies should be carried on.
D. Whether doctors are honesty with their patients.
33. For the case mentioned in paragraph 2, most doctors will ____.
A. tell the patient the truth as soon as possible
B. choose to lie to him about his condition at that moment
C. tell him to shorten the family vacation
D. advise him to cancel the family vacation
34. Which of the following is TRUE
A. Sometimes government tells lies because they need to meet the public interest.
B. Doctors believe if they lie, those seriously-ill patients will recover more quickly.
C. Truthful information helps patients deal with their illness in some cases.
D. Many patients don’t want to know the truth, especially about serious illness.
35. From the passage, we can learn that the author’s attitude to professional deception is ____.
A. supportive B. indifferent C. opposed D. neutral

Do you feel under pressure to be more creative at work ___36___ Studies have recently found that creativity is now one of the top skills most workplaces are looking for in their employees, as they struggle to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive world.
___37___After all, as many employees quietly admit during training workshops: “Not all of us can paint or draw.” The good news is that creativity comes in all sorts of forms. The most common type of creativity is simply allowing our brains the space to imagine different. connections, patterns and possibilities. But how can you improve your creativity at work Here are three approaches:
Get curious. A big part of creativity is curiosity.

Use your curiosity to explore why things happen, how they work, what impact they have. ___38___
Be willing to fail.___39___Likewise if organizations wish to cultivate creativity, they need to establish cultures where the risk of failure is accepted as part of the deal. The truth is that if you’re not failing some of the time, you’re not stretching far enough outside of your comfort zone to keep learning and growing.
Cultivate positive emotions. Positive emotions — such as gratitude, compassion, joy, and inspiration — have been found to help you broaden your thinking. ___40___To cultivate more positive emotions at work, you can promote high-quality connections with others, gratitude, kindness, hope, and find ways to make the most of your strengths.
A. People can manage their own emotions better.
B. Behind every creative genius are stories of failure.
C. If you’re nodding your head, you’re in good company.
D. Ask questions without fearing that you will appear stupid.
E. We gradually lose our curiosity and rely more on our experience.

Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 PM, then I went to a nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch: 6 PM. I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car. I would never forget the way he looked at me. “I’m very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn’t show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong. They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there’s nothing wrong with the car at all.”
