四、阅读理解(20分)
A(★★☆☆☆)
(2024·青岛二模)
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 the 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 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter (每升) of 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.
(D)41.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that .
A.the Arctic is the last really clean place left on the 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
(A)42.The underlined word “contribute” means “ ” in Chinese.
A.增加 B.捐献 C.贡献 D.影响
(B)43.Where do most of the microplastics in the snow come from
A.From the water. B.From the air.
C.From the wind. D.From the food.
(C)44.Which of the following isn’t true
A.We may breathe in microplastics in Arctic.
B.Microplastics may cause lung cancer.
C.We don’t have to mind microplastics right now.
D.Microplastics have hurt ecosystems.
(C)45.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 the Arctic.
B(★★★☆☆)
In the USA, a question is asked millions of times every day in the supermarket: “Paper or plastic ” Well, which kind of bag would you choose
In fact, all kinds of bags have some influence on the environment.But we are always told that paper bags are better.For example, they break down easily and can be recycled.However, making paper bags takes more energy than making plastic bags.How can this be true
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production.And the amount of water used to make paper bags is twenty times higher.And the influence on forests is more serious.It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags.As for recycling, some people believe that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones.However, this idea can be quickly discarded.Research shows the opposite is true.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two.In Ireland, people have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
It seems wise to reuse these bags.However, we’re not doing that a lot.That may be because they are easily broken.If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still their production also has a bad influence on the environment.So what should we do How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic ” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves the following question: “What can I do to help the environment ”
(C)46.The question in Paragraph 1 is used to .
A.tell readers how to shop
B.explain the writer’s problem
C.show what will be discussed in the passage
D.show the hard work in the supermarket
(C)pared with plastic bags, paper bags .
A.need less water to produce
B.require less energy to recycle
C.have a worse influence on forests
D.take more time to break down
(B)48.What does the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese
A.分享 B.抛弃 C.讨论 D.提出
(A)49.Ireland has cut down the use of plastic bags by .
A.letting people pay for them
B.not allowing people to use them
C.providing people with paper bags
D.not providing them in the supermarkets
(D)50.Which question does the writer probably want to hear in the supermarket
A.Paper or cloth
B.Paper or plastic
C.A small bag or a big one
D.A new bag or your own one
五、阅读还原(10分)(★★★☆☆)
(2023·威海质检)
阅读短文,将下面的句子还原到文章当中使短文内容完整。
The planet that we all call home is in trouble.And turning your head away from the environmental problems isn’t going to solve them.Instead, let’s try to do our best, starting with some easy ways to reduce waste at home.
51. D Unless you already live a zero-waste lifestyle, there is a room for improvement when it comes to living a greener life.
While the idea of reducing waste can be overwhelming(势不可挡的), a great place to start is your own home.All it takes is a few small changes to make a big difference, as you’ll see below.
◆Ditch (丢弃) the plastic bags
Whenever you leave the house, remember to bring a bag or two with you.Although plastic bags used to be everywhere, these days, they’re becoming less and less common.
While most stores now charge you for plastic bags here in Canada, others have got rid of them completely, offering only the reusable ones.52. E
◆Make a meal plan
As well as material waste, food waste has become a huge problem in many parts of the world.Thankfully, this issue has an easy solution.
All you need to do is only buy the things that you know for certain you will eat.
53. A That way you’ll know exactly what foods are necessary to get you and family through the week.
This habit will stop you from buying things you don’t need, thereby reducing the amount of spoiled food you throw out.What’s more: You’ll save money.
◆Shop for second-hand stuff
Shopping for second-hand clothes is always better than buying new ones.As well as saving your money, buying used clothes helps to reduce the waste in the world.
However, it’s not only clothes that you can buy from shops and charity stores.54. C
Much of the stuff is in a near-new condition too, much cheaper than the new.Who doesn’t like a great deal
◆Repair rather than discard(抛弃)
Whether you’ve ripped your favorite pair of jeans or broken a lamp, you should try fixing your things before you throw them away.This is clearly a less costly way of life, but it’s also a greener one.
These DIY skills are easy to learn using some apps, if you’re unfamiliar with the steps.Plus, learning is one of the joys of life!
55. B And it will make you feel good to know you’re helping the Earth for future generations to keep enjoying it.
A.And that can be done by creating weekly meal plans.
B.By now it’s clear that reducing household rubbish is possible.
C.You can also find books, games, toys, electronics and furniture.
D.After all, it’s our responsibility to do something about the issue(问题).

Scientists predict that most polar bears will die out by the year 2100 because of global warming.
Polar bears are found in the far north, inside the Arctic Circle.They spend most of their time 71.living(live) on the ice which covers the Arctic seas.
As the world gets much72.hotter(hot) because of man-made climate change, the ice cap will be 73.so small and thin that the polar bears can’t have enough places to travel and hunt.What’s worse, the Arctic is warming about twice as 74.quickly(quick) as other places.
Seals are polar bears’ main food.Polar bears usually catch seals in places 75.where the ice meets the water.76.To catch(catch) seals, polar bears need to be able to walk and run across the ice.Polar bears are strong swimmers, 77.but they’re not fast enough to catch seals in the water.
78.For polar bears, summers are the hardest time.With less ice to travel on, they’re forced to spend more time on land, where there isn’t much food.And rising temperatures in the Arctic are causing polar bears to have fewer areas for hunting.That’s really a matter of life and 79.death (die).
The scientists believe that in the past few years, polar bears80.have started(start) dying out in southern areas of the Arctic, like Canada.To help save polar bears, rapid action is needed to reduce the effect of global heating.

The planet that we all call home is in trouble.And turning your head away from the environmental problems isn’t going to solve them.Instead, let’s try to do our best, starting with some easy ways to reduce waste at home.
51. Unless you already live a zero-waste lifestyle, there is a room for improvement when it comes to living a greener life.
While the idea of reducing waste can be overwhelming(势不可挡的), a great place to start is your own home.All it takes is a few small changes to make a big difference, as you’ll see below.
◆Ditch (丢弃) the plastic bags
Whenever you leave the house, remember to bring a bag or two with you.Although plastic bags used to be everywhere, these days, they’re becoming less and less common.
While most stores now charge you for plastic bags here in Canada, others have got rid of them completely, offering only the reusable ones.52.
◆Make a meal plan
As well as material waste, food waste has become a huge problem in many parts of the world.Thankfully, this issue has an easy solution.
All you need to do is only buy the things that you know for certain you will eat.
