When you think of the Arctic (北极), you imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on earth. We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish. “And now”, CNN says, “It’s the Arctic’s turn.”
German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1800 pieces of microplastics per liter of (每升) snow.
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic According to scientists, “It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air.” They fall off the plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.
Are they bad for us Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO. We do know that our bodies cannot take in “large” pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What’s more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems along the way. They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals. If people then eat these animals, it means that we’re eating the plastic as well.
21. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that________.
A. the Arctic is the last really clean place left on earth B. the Arctic is an icy land of pure white snow
C. the Arctic is a beautiful icy land with clean air D. the Arctic has been polluted by plastic rubbish
22. The underlined word “contribute” means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 增加 B. 捐献 C. 造成 D. 是……原因之一
23. Where do most of the microplastics in the snow come from
A. From water. B. From air. C. From wind. D. From food.
24. Which of the following isn’t true
A. We may breathe microplastics in Arctic. B. Microplastics may cause lung cancer.
C. We don’t have to mind microplastics right now. D. Microplastics have hurt ecosystems.
25. How does the writer end this passage
A. By advising us to drink clean water. B. By asking people not to eat sea animals.
C. By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution. D. By showing the beauty of Arctic.

Parents are often surprised at their children's ability to use technology. A five-year-old child may easily find and use apps on a smart phone. A ten-year-old child can move up through the levels of a video game easily. Their parents may think their children were born geniuses(天才)!
Natural geniuses, however, are not common. But your parents are right if they think you are smarter than them. Most children are born smarter than their parents. This has been proved(证明)on IQ tests around the world recently. These tests have shown that over the last 100 years, each new generation(一代人)has become smarter than the older ones. In other words, you are smarter than your parents and your parents are smarter than your grandparents.
This increase in intelligence is called the "Flynn Effect(效应)". It was named after James Flynn. Flynn is a university professor(教授)in New Zealand. He first noticed this in 1980. According to his research, with each new generation, average(平均的)IQ scores would increase by twenty percent.
But why are people getting smarter Flynn and many other researchers believe this has something to do with technology. New technologies have further developed our brains. They have made us think better. So we may be better at completing the missing parts of a puzzle than our parents.
But being smart doesn't make you wise. Wisdom(智慧)comes with age and experience. A high score on a computer game will not help you solve the everyday problems of life. For that, a smart kid will turn to the wisdom of his parents and grandparents.
26. How do parents often feel about their children’s ability to use technology
A. Surprised. B. Worried. C. Nervous. D. Embarrassed.
27. What has been proved on IQ tests around the world these days
A. Children easily use apps on smart phones. B. Most children play video games better than their parents.
C. Children are born with a high IQ. D. Most children are born smarter than their parents.
28. What caused the "Flynn Effect" according to the passage
A. Better education. B. New technologies. C. A better environment. D. New experiences.
29. The underlined word "puzzle" in the passage means ___________ in Chinese.
A. 拼图 B. 困境 C. 迷惑 D. 阻碍
30. The following facts are the "Flynn Effect" EXCEPT __________________.
A. A child may easily find apps on a smart phone
B. A child may be good at completing the missing parts of a puzzle
C. A high score on a video game won't help solve the problems in life
D. A ten-year-old child can move up through the levels of a video game easily
