Despite the fact that there has never been so much wealth or so many wealthy people in the world, many of the world’s poor people still live in material and energy poverty. Could you and I cut back on our consumption (消耗) so as to make some space for others to increase theirs
I am sure we could. But, unfortunately, everything about our economic systems is set up to make us believe and behave otherwise. The default (默认) mindset is that there is nothing wrong with wanting ever newer and more expensive things as long as we can afford them.
Look around you for a moment. No society anywhere before lived like this. Further, since our spending must necessarily be someone else’s income, we tell ourselves that we actually make the world a better place every time we buy another pair of shoes or trade in a car for the latest model. And that’s the tug (拉) of war that plays itself out cruelly in our lives, as one side of our age cries out “less”, and from the other side comes the answering cry “more”.
Of course, wanting to live a better life is deeply ingrained in human nature. Otherwise, we would never have generated the progress that has brought us to our present station.
But now we should think deeply about how and why we consume.
After all, even the earliest thinkers in the history of economic—including Adam Smith—thought, having more does not always translate into being happier. Evidence shows that many people in the developing world, despite being hard-up, report being just as happy as those in the materially rich societies of the West.
So what now The answer, perhaps, is to try to be rich in the enjoyment of things, not in the accumulation (堆积) of them. A pair of good shoes, lightly creased (起皱) but also carefully polished (擦亮) once a month a meal cooked at home instead of a trip to McDonald’s—such as these lie our act of saving from the virus of compulsive (强迫性的) consumption.
4、What can we infer from the first two paragraphs
A. People tend to buy things unreasonably.
B. People refuse to cut down on consumption.
C. People all face material and energy poverty.
D. People believe in political and economic systems.
5、What does the underlined word “ingrained” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Held. B. Rooted. C. Changed. D. Possessed.
6、What does the author suggest
A. Trying to be rich. B. The more, the better.
C. Enjoying what we have. D. Focusing on the compulsive consumption.
7、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Economy.
Cognitive Processing Therapy(CPT), a long-term psychological therapy, is a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy which reduces post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍) symptoms after natural disasters. Typically, CPT is delivered over 12 sessions to help patients learn how to modify negative attitudes and practices related to their trauma. The goal is that the patient then creates a new, more positive view and understanding of the traumatic event, which reduces on-going negative effects on the patient’s current life. It specifically focuses on the core trauma themes of safety, trust, power and control, etc.
Delivered both individually and in structured group sessions, it allows for multiple different paths to receive effective treatments. In some studies, it has shown to be helpful in cases where medicine alone has not worked. Because CPT focuses on retraining thoughts and behaviors to form practical strategies that can be applied to everyday pared to other talk-therapies, it has been especially successful, because it can be completed in a brief period of time, allowing for a lower patient dropout rate. It also enhances brain connectivity, which lessens long-term impacts of trauma. This increased connectivity is why cognitive behavioral therapy is often argued to be more effective than medicine.
On the other hand, there are also multiple disadvantages to CPT. Due to its structured nature, it may not be suitable for people with more complex mental health needs or learning difficulties. Additionally, since it involves facing up to emotions and fears, patients may experience initial periods of additional anxiety or discomfort. Some therapists also argue that because it only addresses current problems and specific issues it does not address possible fundamental causes of mental health conditions, and because it focuses on the individual’s capacity to change themselves it does not address wider system problems that have a significant impact on a patient’s health and well-being.
However, focusing mainly on post-natural disasters, regardless of pre-disaster health, CPT has been repeatedly proven to be a rather successful treatment approach. Although there have not been studies generalizing CPT for children, it is an effective treatment for adults. The clear effectiveness of CPT demonstrates the importance of patient-specific therapies that are unique to the experiences of individual patients.

A. learn how to modify various negative attitudes and practices
B. cultivate a positive view and understanding of the traumatic events

B. Its applicable strategies in daily life.
C. Its higher treatment fulfillment.
D. Its brain connectivity enhancement.

A. Post-disaster health is not taken into consideration in the CPT.
B. CPT proves to be the most successful treatment approach so far.
C. More researches might be conducted into the effectiveness of CPT in children.
D. CPT addresses the fundamental causes of patients’ mental health conditions.

Despite growing concerns over tiny bits of plastic filling the world’s waterways, the long-term environmental effects of that waste remain unclear. Now an experiment on freshwater sediment (沉积物) communities exposed to microplastics for over a year helps clarify how harmful this pollution can be.
Researchers put trays (托盘) of sediment littered with different amounts of polystyrene (a very light soft plastic) particles (颗粒) — ranging from 0 to 5 percent plastic — in the bottom of an outdoor waterway where bugs, snails and other little creatures colonized the mud. After 15 months, fewer organisms were found living in the trays with 5 percent polystyrene than in trays with less plastic, largely because fewer Naididae worms lived in the most polluted mud. The trays with 0 to 0.5 percent microplastic averaged between about 500 and 800 worms per tray, while mud with 5 percent plastic averaged fewer than 300, researchers reported January 31 in Science Advances.
That reduction in Naididae worms suggests that severe microplastic pollution can throw freshwater ecosystems out of balance. The 5 percent plastic concentration where researchers saw a major drop in the Naididae worm population has more pollution than what is typically found in freshwater sediment, says study coauthor Bart Koelmans, who studies aquatic ecology at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands.
“It’s a really important piece of work,” says Richard Thompson, who studies environmental effects of plastic pollution at the University of Plymouth in England but was not involved in the study. “Most of our understanding about the impacts of small pieces of plastic comes from laboratory studies over several weeks. The new experiment gets closer to assessing microplastic’s long-term, real-world effects,” he says.
Just because the researchers didn’t observe a significant effect on these freshwater communities at lower plastic concentrations “doesn’t mean that there are no effects,” says Ana Luísa Patrfcio Silva, an ecotoxicologist at the University of Aveiro in Portugal not involved in the work. Simply keeping a count of the organisms living in mud with a certain amount of pollution doesn’t rule out the possibility that microplastics weaken the creatures’ ability to function normally, she says.
12、What’s the purpose of the experiment
A. To clear up the microplastics in waterways.
B. To reduce people’s concerms over plastic pollution.
C. To see how worms live in harmony with each other.
D. To identify the harmful effect of plastic in waterways.
13、What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. The theory of the experiment.
B. The process of the experiment.
C. The participants of the experiment.
D. The significance of the experiment.
14、The author tells us that Naididae worms_______.
A. are the most sensitive to plastic
B. are not affected by plastic pollution
C. are a sign of freshwater ecosystem balance
D. remain least in water with 1 percent plastic
15、What’s Ana’s attitude towards the findings
A. Favorable. B. Skeptical. C. Ambiguous. D. Uncaring.
二、七选五
16、Wearing a face mask will keep you and others safer when you have to leave the house. ①______. But the bad news is that you now realize you suffer from unpleasant smells. Here are four ways to combat bad breath and make wearing a mask a more pleasant experience.
●Keep away from certain foods
Onions and garlic not only add flavor to many foods but also add smells that are not easily brushed away. The substances that cause their bad smells make their way into your bloodstream and travel to your lungs, where you breathe them out. ②______.
●③______
Saliva (唾液) is the key ingredient in your mouth that helps keep the smell under control because it helps wash away food particles and bacteria. If you are not producing much saliva, try drinking water or chewing sugarless gum.
●Brush your teeth
You’d better brush your teeth at least twice a day to reduce harmful bacteria on your teeth. The sticky buildup on your teeth collects bacteria that cause bad breath, and trapped food adds to the problem. ④______. It is proved that if you brush too hard, you can wear down your teeth, making them vulnerable to decay.
●Brush your tongue
⑤______. It can end up on your tongue. To rid your tongue of smell—causing bacteria, remember to brush it when you clean your teeth. If your toothbrush is too big to reach the back of your tongue, buy a tool used for removing the accumulation.
A. Avoid dry mouth
B. Wash your hands
C. That’s the good news
D. Buy a proper toothbrush instead
E. Bacteria don’t just live on your teeth
F. But the experts warn against overdoing it.
G. Avoiding those foods is the best way to get rid of the problem

2、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据“MUSIC-ORCHESTRAL”部分第三栏“The Apollo Orchestra welcomes violist Roberto Diaz to perform Jennifer Higdon's Grammy-winning Viola Concerto.”（阿波罗管弦乐团欢迎中提琴手Roberto Diaz演奏Jennifer Higdon的赢得格莱美奖的中提琴协奏曲）和第四栏中“Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church,”（在Chevy Chase Presbyterian教堂）可知，在Chevy Chase Presbyterian教堂你能欣赏到Jennifer Higdon的演奏的赢得格莱美奖的中提琴协奏曲。故选C。
3、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据表格的标题“The Guide to the Lively Arts”（生动的艺术指南）可知，文 章介绍了一些艺术形式，所以可推知文章可能在对音乐爱好者宣传册上发现。故选B。
4、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。前两段提出了让大家减少消费的倡议，但由于受到一些观念的影响，人们觉得只要支付得起，想消费更新、更贵的东西是没错的，即“人们倾向于不理性地消费”。
5、答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。第四段提到，想过上更好的生活的想法在人们心中根深蒂固，要不然我们也永远不会取得现在的进步。由此可知ingrained应该是“扎根；使根深蒂固”的意思。
6、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。作者在最后一段建议大家要试着尽情享受已有的物品，而非不断地囤积商品，即“享受我们所拥有的东西”。
7、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。文章介绍了当今人们的消费方式，分析了原因和趋势，并倡议人们理性消费，由此可知，本文应该是出自报纸的经济板块。
8、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段 "The goal is that the patient then creates a new, more positive view and understanding of the traumatic event, which reduces on-going negative effects on the patient's current life.（这样做的目的是让病人对创伤事件有一个新的、更积极的看法和理解，从而减少对病人当前生活的持续负面影响。）" 可知，认知加工疗法是为了帮助病人培养对创伤性时间的积极看法和理解。故选B项。
9、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段 "Compared to other talk-therapies, it has been especially successful, because it can be completed in a brief period of time , allowing for a lower patient dropout rate. It also enhances brain connectivity, which lessens long-term impacts of trauma. This increased connectivity is why cognitive behavioral therapy is often argued to be more effective than medicine.（与其他谈话疗法相比，它特别成功，因为它可以在很短的时间内完成，允许较低的患者退出率。它还能增强大脑的连通性，从而减少创伤的长期影响。这种增强的连通性就是为什么认知行为疗法经常被认为比药物更有效。）" 可知，认知加工疗法成功是因为它完成时间短，增强大脑的连通性，所以它比其他的疗法要更加有效。故选C项。
10、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 "However, focusing mainly on post-natural disasters, regardless of pre-disaster health, CPT has been repeatedly proven to be a rather successful treatment approach. Although there have not been studies generalizing CPT for children, it is an effective treatment for adults. The clear effectiveness of CPT demonstrates the importance of patient-specific therapies that are unique to the experiences of individual patients.（然而，认知加工疗法主要侧重于自然灾害后，而不考虑灾前健康，已多次被证明是一种相当成功的治疗方法。虽然还没有研究将认知加工疗法推广到儿童，但它对成人是一种有效的治疗方法。认知加工疗法的明确有效性证明了患者特异性治疗的重要性，这是个体患者独特的经历。）" 可知，认知加工疗法多次被证明是一种相当成功的治疗方法，并且对于成年人来说已经是有效的方法；由此可以推出，下一步很有可能就是将其应用于儿童身上，研究它的有效性。故选C项。
11、答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。文章第一段主要讲了认知加工疗法的定义，它是一种长期的心理疗法；第二段讲了它为何如此有效，其原理是什么；第三段讲了认知加工疗法的缺点；第四段讲了它的应用范围。综合全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种长期心理疗法——认知加工疗法。故选B项。
12、答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段 Despite growing concerns over tiny bits of plastic filling the world's waterways, the long-term environmental effects of that waste remain unclear. Now an experiment on freshwater sediment (沉积物) communities exposed to microplastics for over a year helps clarify how harmful this pollution can be. 可知，尽管越来越多的人担心世界上的水道中充斥着微小的塑料垃圾，但这些垃圾对环境的长期影响仍不清楚。现在，一项淡水沉积物群落暴露在微塑料中超过一年的实验有助于弄清这种污染的危害。由此推知，这项实验的主要目的是研究塑料在水道中的有害影响，D项符合文意。A项意为“清理水道中的微塑料”，B项意为“减少人们对塑料污染的担忧”，C项意为“看蠕虫如何和谐地生活在一起”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为D。
13、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句和第二句 Researchers put trays (托盘) of sediment littered with different amounts of polystyrene (a very light soft plastic) particles (颗粒) — ranging from 0 to 5 percent plastic — in the bottom of an outdoor waterway where bugs, snails and other little creatures colonized the mud. After 15 months, fewer organisms were found living in the trays with 5 percent polystyrene than in trays with less plastic, largely because fewer Naididae worms lived in the most polluted mud. 可知，研究人员将散落着不同数量的聚苯乙烯（一种非常轻的软塑料）颗粒（塑料含量从0到5%不等）的沉淀物放置在室外水路的底部那里有虫子、蜗牛和其他小生物在淤泥中繁衍。15个月后，发现生活在含5%聚苯乙烯的托盘里的微生物比生活在含较少塑料的托盘里的要少，这主要是因为生活在污染最严重的泥里的 Naididae 蠕虫更少。由此可知，第二段主要描述了实验过程，B项符合文意。A项意为“实验的理论”，C项意为“实验参与者”，D项意为“实验的意义”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。
14、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句 That reduction in Naididae worms suggests that severe microplastic pollution can throw freshwater ecosystems out of balance. 可知，Naididae 蠕虫数量的减少表明，严重的微塑料污染会使淡水生态系统失去平衡。由此可知，Naididae 蠕虫的多少是淡水生态系统是否平衡的标志。故正确答案为C。
15、答案：B
解析：观点态度题。根据文章最后一段 Just because the researchers didn't observe a significant effect on these freshwater communities at lower plastic concentrations "doesn 't meanthat there are no effects," says Ana LuIsa Patrfcio Silva, an ecotoxicologist at the University of Aveiro in Portugal not involved in the work. Simply keeping a count of the organisms living in mud with a certain amount of pollution doesn't rule out the possibility that microplastics weaken the creatures' ability to function normally, she says. 可知，葡萄牙阿威罗大学的生态毒理学家 Ana LuIsa Patrfcio Silva 没有参与这项研究，她说，仅仅因为研究人员没有在较低的塑料浓度下观察到对这些淡水群落的显著影响，“并不意味着没有影响”。她说，简单地计算在一定程度的污染下生活在泥中的生物数量并不能排除塑料微粒削弱生物正常活动能力的可能性。由此推知，Ana 对此实验的研究结果并不确信，持怀疑态度。B项，skeptical 意为“怀疑的”，符合文意。A项，favorable 意为“有利的”，C项，ambiguous 意为“模棱两可的”，D项，uncaring 意为“漠不关心的”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。

Dear Chris,
I am more than delighted to learn that you are obsessed with Chinese sports. My favorite Chinese sport is tai chi.
My affection for tai chi dates back to my PE class back in primary school. I was impressed by its magical combination of softness and strength. I practiced hard to sharpen my skills, and the constant praise from my teacher pushed me forward to learn it in depth. I am now a member of my school’s tai chi club, where students of various levels who are passionate about tai chi gather around to practice tai chi together. Tai chi has brought me massive benefits. Not only has it bettered my health, but also built my confidence, thus improving my studies.
I hope my introductions can be of some help. What’s your favorite sport I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Despite the fact that there has never been so much wealth or so many wealthy people in the world, many of the world’s poor people still live in material and energy poverty. Could you and I cut back on our consumption (消耗) so as to make some space for others to increase theirs
I am sure we could. But, unfortunately, everything about our economic systems is set up to make us believe and behave otherwise. The default (默认) mindset is that there is nothing wrong with wanting ever newer and more expensive things as long as we can afford them.
Look around you for a moment. No society anywhere before lived like this. Further, since our spending must necessarily be someone else’s income, we tell ourselves that we actually make the world a better place every time we buy another pair of shoes or trade in a car for the latest model. And that’s the tug (拉) of war that plays itself out cruelly in our lives, as one side of our age cries out “less”, and from the other side comes the answering cry “more”.
Of course, wanting to live a better life is deeply ingrained in human nature. Otherwise, we would never have generated the progress that has brought us to our present station.
But now we should think deeply about how and why we consume.
After all, even the earliest thinkers in the history of economic—including Adam Smith—thought, having more does not always translate into being happier. Evidence shows that many people in the developing world, despite being hard-up, report being just as happy as those in the materially rich societies of the West.
So what now The answer, perhaps, is to try to be rich in the enjoyment of things, not in the accumulation (堆积) of them. A pair of good shoes, lightly creased (起皱) but also carefully polished (擦亮) once a month a meal cooked at home instead of a trip to McDonald’s—such as these lie our act of saving from the virus of compulsive (强迫性的) consumption.
4、What can we infer from the first two paragraphs
A. People tend to buy things unreasonably.
B. People refuse to cut down on consumption.
C. People all face material and energy poverty.
D. People believe in political and economic systems.
5、What does the underlined word “ingrained” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Held. B. Rooted. C. Changed. D. Possessed.
6、What does the author suggest

Cognitive Processing Therapy(CPT), a long-term psychological therapy, is a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy which reduces post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍) symptoms after natural disasters. Typically, CPT is delivered over 12 sessions to help patients learn how to modify negative attitudes and practices related to their trauma. The goal is that the patient then creates a new, more positive view and understanding of the traumatic event, which reduces on-going negative effects on the patient’s current life. It specifically focuses on the core trauma themes of safety, trust, power and control, etc.
Delivered both individually and in structured group sessions, it allows for multiple different paths to receive effective treatments. In some studies, it has shown to be helpful in cases where medicine alone has not worked. Because CPT focuses on retraining thoughts and behaviors to form practical strategies that can be applied to everyday pared to other talk-therapies, it has been especially successful, because it can be completed in a brief period of time, allowing for a lower patient dropout rate. It also enhances brain connectivity, which lessens long-term impacts of trauma. This increased connectivity is why cognitive behavioral therapy is often argued to be more effective than medicine.
On the other hand, there are also multiple disadvantages to CPT. Due to its structured nature, it may not be suitable for people with more complex mental health needs or learning difficulties. Additionally, since it involves facing up to emotions and fears, patients may experience initial periods of additional anxiety or discomfort. Some therapists also argue that because it only addresses current problems and specific issues it does not address possible fundamental causes of mental health conditions, and because it focuses on the individual’s capacity to change themselves it does not address wider system problems that have a significant impact on a patient’s health and well-being.
However, focusing mainly on post-natural disasters, regardless of pre-disaster health, CPT has been repeatedly proven to be a rather successful treatment approach. Although there have not been studies generalizing CPT for children, it is an effective treatment for adults. The clear effectiveness of CPT demonstrates the importance of patient-specific therapies that are unique to the experiences of individual patients.
8、According to the passage, CPT is intended to help patients _________.
A. learn how to modify various negative attitudes and practices
B. cultivate a positive view and understanding of the traumatic events

9、Compared with other talk-therapies, what feature contributes to the effectiveness of CPT
A. Its multiple treating assignments.
B. Its applicable strategies in daily life.
C. Its higher treatment fulfillment.
D. Its brain connectivity enhancement.
10、What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Post-disaster health is not taken into consideration in the CPT.
B. CPT proves to be the most successful treatment approach so far.
C. More researches might be conducted into the effectiveness of CPT in children.
D. CPT addresses the fundamental causes of patients’ mental health conditions.
11、What is the main idea of this passage
A. The application of Cognitive Processing Therapy.
B. An introduction to a long-term psychological therapy.
C. A breakthrough in the psychological medical field.
D. The limitations of Cognitive Processing Therapy.
Despite growing concerns over tiny bits of plastic filling the world’s waterways, the long-term environmental effects of that waste remain unclear. Now an experiment on freshwater sediment (沉积物) communities exposed to microplastics for over a year helps clarify how harmful this pollution can be.
Researchers put trays (托盘) of sediment littered with different amounts of polystyrene (a very light soft plastic) particles (颗粒) — ranging from 0 to 5 percent plastic — in the bottom of an outdoor waterway where bugs, snails and other little creatures colonized the mud. After 15 months, fewer organisms were found living in the trays with 5 percent polystyrene than in trays with less plastic, largely because fewer Naididae worms lived in the most polluted mud. The trays with 0 to 0.5 percent microplastic averaged between about 500 and 800 worms per tray, while mud with 5 percent plastic averaged fewer than 300, researchers reported January 31 in Science Advances.
That reduction in Naididae worms suggests that severe microplastic pollution can throw freshwater ecosystems out of balance. The 5 percent plastic concentration where researchers saw a major drop in the Naididae worm population has more pollution than what is typically found in freshwater sediment, says study coauthor Bart Koelmans, who studies aquatic ecology at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands.
“It’s a really important piece of work,” says Richard Thompson, who studies environmental effects of plastic pollution at the University of Plymouth in England but was not involved in the study. “Most of our understanding about the impacts of small pieces of plastic comes from laboratory studies over several weeks. The new experiment gets closer to assessing microplastic’s long-term, real-world effects,” he says.
Just because the researchers didn’t observe a significant effect on these freshwater communities at lower plastic concentrations “doesn’t mean that there are no effects,” says Ana Luísa Patrfcio Silva, an ecotoxicologist at the University of Aveiro in Portugal not involved in the work. Simply keeping a count of the organisms living in mud with a certain amount of pollution doesn’t rule out the possibility that microplastics weaken the creatures’ ability to function normally, she says.
12、What’s the purpose of the experiment
A. To clear up the microplastics in waterways.
B. To reduce people’s concerms over plastic pollution.
C. To see how worms live in harmony with each other.
D. To identify the harmful effect of plastic in waterways.
13、What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. The theory of the experiment.
B. The process of the experiment.
C. The participants of the experiment.
D. The significance of the experiment.
14、The author tells us that Naididae worms_______.
A. are the most sensitive to plastic
B. are not affected by plastic pollution
C. are a sign of freshwater ecosystem balance
D. remain least in water with 1 percent plastic
15、What’s Ana’s attitude towards the findings
A. Favorable. B. Skeptical. C. Ambiguous. D. Uncaring.

10、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 "However, focusing mainly on post-natural disasters, regardless of pre-disaster health, CPT has been repeatedly proven to be a rather successful treatment approach. Although there have not been studies generalizing CPT for children, it is an effective treatment for adults. The clear effectiveness of CPT demonstrates the importance of patient-specific therapies that are unique to the experiences of individual patients.（然而，认知加工疗法主要侧重于自然灾害后，而不考虑灾前健康，已多次被证明是一种相当成功的治疗方法。虽然还没有研究将认知加工疗法推广到儿童，但它对成人是一种有效的治疗方法。认知加工疗法的明确有效性证明了患者特异性治疗的重要性，这是个体患者独特的经历。）" 可知，认知加工疗法多次被证明是一种相当成功的治疗方法，并且对于成年人来说已经是有效的方法；由此可以推出，下一步很有可能就是将其应用于儿童身上，研究它的有效性。故选C项。
11、答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。文章第一段主要讲了认知加工疗法的定义，它是一种长期的心理疗法；第二段讲了它为何如此有效，其原理是什么；第三段讲了认知加工疗法的缺点；第四段讲了它的应用范围。综合全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种长期心理疗法——认知加工疗法。故选B项。
12、答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段 Despite growing concerns over tiny bits of plastic filling the world's waterways, the long-term environmental effects of that waste remain unclear. Now an experiment on freshwater sediment (沉积物) communities exposed to microplastics for over a year helps clarify how harmful this pollution can be. 可知，尽管越来越多的人担心世界上的水道中充斥着微小的塑料垃圾，但这些垃圾对环境的长期影响仍不清楚。现在，一项淡水沉积物群落暴露在微塑料中超过一年的实验有助于弄清这种污染的危害。由此推知，这项实验的主要目的是研究塑料在水道中的有害影响，D项符合文意。A项意为“清理水道中的微塑料”，B项意为“减少人们对塑料污染的担忧”，C项意为“看蠕虫如何和谐地生活在一起”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为D。
13、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句和第二句 Researchers put trays (托盘) of sediment littered with different amounts of polystyrene (a very light soft plastic) particles (颗粒) — ranging from 0 to 5 percent plastic — in the bottom of an outdoor waterway where bugs, snails and other little creatures colonized the mud. After 15 months, fewer organisms were found living in the trays with 5 percent polystyrene than in trays with less plastic, largely because fewer Naididae worms lived in the most polluted mud. 可知，研究人员将散落着不同数量的聚苯乙烯（一种非常轻的软塑料）颗粒（塑料含量从0到5%不等）的沉淀物放置在室外水路的底部那里有虫子、蜗牛和其他小生物在淤泥中繁衍。15个月后，发现生活在含5%聚苯乙烯的托盘里的微生物比生活在含较少塑料的托盘里的要少，这主要是因为生活在污染最严重的泥里的 Naididae 蠕虫更少。由此可知，第二段主要描述了实验过程，B项符合文意。A项意为“实验的理论”，C项意为“实验参与者”，D项意为“实验的意义”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。
14、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句 That reduction in Naididae worms suggests that severe microplastic pollution can throw freshwater ecosystems out of balance. 可知，Naididae 蠕虫数量的减少表明，严重的微塑料污染会使淡水生态系统失去平衡。由此可知，Naididae 蠕虫的多少是淡水生态系统是否平衡的标志。故正确答案为C。
15、答案：B
解析：观点态度题。根据文章最后一段 Just because the researchers didn't observe a significant effect on these freshwater communities at lower plastic concentrations "doesn 't meanthat there are no effects," says Ana LuIsa Patrfcio Silva, an ecotoxicologist at the University of Aveiro in Portugal not involved in the work. Simply keeping a count of the organisms living in mud with a certain amount of pollution doesn't rule out the possibility that microplastics weaken the creatures' ability to function normally, she says. 可知，葡萄牙阿威罗大学的生态毒理学家 Ana LuIsa Patrfcio Silva 没有参与这项研究，她说，仅仅因为研究人员没有在较低的塑料浓度下观察到对这些淡水群落的显著影响，“并不意味着没有影响”。她说，简单地计算在一定程度的污染下生活在泥中的生物数量并不能排除塑料微粒削弱生物正常活动能力的可能性。由此推知，Ana 对此实验的研究结果并不确信，持怀疑态度。B项，skeptical 意为“怀疑的”，符合文意。A项，favorable 意为“有利的”，C项，ambiguous 意为“模棱两可的”，D项，uncaring 意为“漠不关心的”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。

Dear Chris,
I am more than delighted to learn that you are obsessed with Chinese sports. My favorite Chinese sport is tai chi.
My affection for tai chi dates back to my PE class back in primary school. I was impressed by its magical combination of softness and strength. I practiced hard to sharpen my skills, and the constant praise from my teacher pushed me forward to learn it in depth. I am now a member of my school’s tai chi club, where students of various levels who are passionate about tai chi gather around to practice tai chi together. Tai chi has brought me massive benefits. Not only has it bettered my health, but also built my confidence, thus improving my studies.
I hope my introductions can be of some help. What’s your favorite sport I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
