When thinking of the Arctic (北冰洋) , some people may imagine an icy land of white snow. And other people may imagine it as the last really clean place left on Earth. In fact, we have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish, and now, scientists say, “It’s the Arctic’s turn.”
German scientists have recently found microplastics (微塑料) in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter (升) of snow. That may cause terrible air pollution. How is plastic pollution reaching the far coldest land According to scientists, “It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air. They fall off plastic objects and are moved by the wind. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow.”
Are they bad for us We do know that our bodies cannot take in“large”pieces of plastic. 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 (肺癌) risk.
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Research has found that they flow (流) over long distances and into our oceans, damaging ecosystems (生态系统) along the way. When we wash clothes with plastic fibers, they start in our wastewater. The wastewater then flows into rivers and out to sea.They are eaten by sea animals there. If people then eat these animals, it means that we’re eating the plastic as well.
26.What BIG question does Paragraph 2 answer
A. How dangerous is it to eat sea animals
B. How dangerous is it to travel to Arctic
C. How is plastic pollution reaching to the Arctic
D. How do people protect themselves from plastic pollution
27. What does the underlined phrase “contribute to” mean
A. make up. B. part with.
C. give away. D. lead to.
28. Which is the right order of the following event
a. Wastewater flows into rivers and sea.
b. People eat animals in the sea.
c. People wash clothes with plastic fibers.
d. Microplastics are eaten by sea animals.
A. a-c-b-d B. c-a-d-b
C. c-a-b-d D. a-d-c-b
29. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. plastic has polluted most of the world
B. Arctic is the last clean place left on Earth
C. there is no pollution in the deep sea
D. Our bodies can’t take in any plastic
30. What will be written at the end of the passage
A. How to save the Arctic.
B. The danger of microplastics.
C. The ways to reduce plastic pollution.
D. The importance of recycling plastic.

I grew up in the countryside.I didn’t understand what it brought to me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills than my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities.
I learned to cook at around 10 years old.The first skill I learned was making dough(面团). In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles from the start of the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have dinner sooner. I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mom do it—just mix water and flour (面粉) , right Not quite! It was a mess for a while. First, I made the dough too soft.Then, I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I learned the trick (窍门).
Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax.Thanks to my cooking skills, I live a better life when I need to work from home.I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery (外卖) . It saves money, and I don’t have to wait for delivery drivers to bring me food. More importantly, home-made food is healthier.
This may be why I’m so happy to know that students now have labour education (劳动教育) at school in China.These practical skills will help them for the rest of their lives.
