(2024·山东六校高二下月考)The quality of our seafood has been in the news a lot lately.A new study has found that people who eat seafood are also eating plastic — 11,000 pieces of microplastic per year to be exact.
Researchers at the University of Ghent in Belgium found that seafood eaters are consuming plastic at a concerning rate.
“Per serving of mussels, which contains about 300 grams of mussel meat, you get 300 pieces of plastic inside your body,” researchers wrote.Researchers don’t yet know the implications of eating microplastic, but they worry that it could have negative consequences on our health.
While we don’t know what microplastic does yet to humans, we do know what it does to sea animals.In prior studies, scientists have found that when fish eat microplastics, it prevents their growth and changes their feeding patterns.In fact, fish will stop eating natural sources of nutrients, and only go for plastic.
When you’re done using plastic, a small portion may be recycled.However, more than likely it’s in a landfill or making its way towards the ocean.Once trash hits the water, sea creatures may mistake it for food.This often leads to poisoning or death.If the marine animal gets caught for human consumption, the plastic may very well make its way back to you — on your dinner plate.
According to a study published in Science magazine, eight million tons of plastic go into our waterways every year.The problem is so serious that scientists say that by 2050 the weight of plastic in our oceans will outweigh fish.And just because it’s out of sight doesn’t mean it should be out of mind.
There’s no immediate way to prevent microplastic from ending up in your body.However, you can help reduce the amount of plastic reaching rivers, lakes and oceans in the first place.You can make a difference with your choices every day.Even small changes will add up.While your salmon dinner may contain microplastic, you can help prevent the future generations from having that same problem.
1.What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?( )
A.Real functions. B.Possible effects.
C.Logical reasons. D.Potential benefits.
2.What can we learn about microplastics in the oceans?( )
A.They make fish grow quickly. B.Fish are sick and tired of them.
C.Fish tend to be addicted to them. D.They don’t affect fish’s eating habits.
3.Which proverb can best summarize the main idea of Paragraph 5?( )
A.You get what you pay for. B.There is no smoke without fire.
C.Everything happens for a reason. D.What goes around comes around.
4.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?( )
A.To give us a final warning. B.To appeal to us for action.
C.To offer us a brief summary. D.To send us a gentle reminder.

(2024·郑州高二下期末)A scientist has spent forty years studying the Loch Ness monster (尼斯湖水怪). Why does this mythical monster attract so many people?
Adrian Shine has patrolled (巡逻) lakes by day and night. He’s taken countless photos, and he’s used all the latest technological advances to uncover the mystery behind Loch Ness monster. Twenty-five years ago this week, he led a search of Loch Ness called Operation Deepscan.
Shine may have gone to unusual lengths in his hunt for the Loch Ness monster, but he is far from alone in being attracted by it. Willie Cameron, an expert on the Highland tourism market, says about one million people visit Loch Ness and the surrounding area every year, with the value to the economy worth about £25m. And he says more than 85% of them are attracted by the phenomenon of the Loch Ness monster. “Loch Ness has become a brand as big as Elvis Presley, Madonna and Coca-Cola — but by default rather than design,” he says.
So when did the Loch Ness monster gain such mythical status, and what is the fascination with finding it? Jonathan Downes, director of the Centre for Fortean Zoology, says the legend of the monster dates back to the 6th century, but it was not until the 1930s that it really took off. Since then there has been a number of sightings, with more than a thousand people insisting they have seen creatures in Loch Ness.
Downes says the strange thing about the Loch Ness monster is that although it is “the most iconic mystery creature”, it is actually the one with the least amount of evidence of its existence. So-called physical evidence has turned out to be false, he says. So most of the legend around what lies in Loch Ness comes from stories and sightings.
And Shine has first-hand experience of how unreliable they can be. However, Shine says it is hard to get rid of people’s belief. Lots of locals, too, believe there is something hiding in the loch, according to Cameron. But Shine, who now is still hoping to find out what is behind the mystery, says the beauty of the monster myth is that no one can disprove it. “If Operation Deepscan proved one thing, it is that you can’t kill a legend with science,” he says.
5.The Loch Ness monster was compared to Elvis Presley for .( )
A.they both come from the US
B.they’re both extremely famous
C.they’re both based on legend stories
D.they both improved the tourism industry
6.The Loch Ness monster has been widely known by people .( )
A.since 100 years ago B.since 90 years ago
C.since 60 years ago D.since 50 years ago
7.According to Jonathan Downes, what’s strange about the Loch Ness monster?( )
A.It has worldwide influence. B.It becomes a symbol of an area.
C.It seldom comes out in the daytime. D.It lacks enough proof for its existence.
8.What’s Adrian Shine’s attitude towards the Loch Ness monster?( )
A.Curious. B.Puzzled.
C.Doubtful. D.Positive.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·山东六校高二下月考)The quality of our seafood has been
in the news a lot lately.A new study has found that people who eat seafood
are also eating plastic — 11,000 pieces of microplastic per year to be
exact.
Researchers at the University of Ghent in Belgium found that seafood
eaters are consuming plastic at a concerning rate.
“Per serving of mussels, which contains about 300 grams of
mussel meat, you get 300 pieces of plastic inside your body,”
researchers wrote.Researchers don’t yet know the implications of eating
microplastic, but they worry that it could have negative consequences on
our health.
While we don’t know what microplastic does yet to humans, we
do know what it does to sea animals.In prior studies, scientists have
found that when fish eat microplastics, it prevents their growth and
changes their feeding patterns.In fact, fish will stop eating natural
sources of nutrients, and only go for plastic.
When you’re done using plastic, a small portion may be
recycled.However, more than likely it’s in a landfill or making its way
towards the ocean.Once trash hits the water, sea creatures may mistake it
for food.This often leads to poisoning or death.If the marine animal gets
caught for human consumption, the plastic may very well make its way
back to you — on your dinner plate.
According to a study published in Science magazine, eight million
tons of plastic go into our waterways every year.The problem is so serious
that scientists say that by 2050 the weight of plastic in our oceans will
outweigh fish.And just because it’s out of sight doesn’t mean it should
be out of mind.
There’s no immediate way to prevent microplastic from ending up
in your body.However, you can help reduce the amount of plastic
reaching rivers, lakes and oceans in the first place.You can make a
difference with your choices every day.Even small changes will add
up.While your salmon dinner may contain microplastic, you can help
prevent the future generations from having that same problem.

(2024·郑州高二下期末)A scientist has spent forty years studying
the Loch Ness monster (尼斯湖水怪). Why does this mythical monster
attract so many people?
Adrian Shine has patrolled (巡逻) lakes by day and night. He’s
taken countless photos, and he’s used all the latest technological
advances to uncover the mystery behind Loch Ness monster. Twenty-five
years ago this week, he led a search of Loch Ness called Operation
Deepscan.
Shine may have gone to unusual lengths in his hunt for the Loch Ness
monster, but he is far from alone in being attracted by it. Willie
Cameron, an expert on the Highland tourism market, says about one
million people visit Loch Ness and the surrounding area every year, with
the value to the economy worth about £25m. And he says more than 85%
of them are attracted by the phenomenon of the Loch Ness monster.
“Loch Ness has become a brand as big as Elvis Presley, Madonna and
Coca-Cola — but by default rather than design,” he says.
So when did the Loch Ness monster gain such mythical status, and
what is the fascination with finding it? Jonathan Downes, director of the
Centre for Fortean Zoology, says the legend of the monster dates back to
the 6th century, but it was not until the 1930s that it really took off.
Since then there has been a number of sightings, with more than a
thousand people insisting they have seen creatures in Loch Ness.
Downes says the strange thing about the Loch Ness monster is that
although it is “the most iconic mystery creature”, it is actually the one
with the least amount of evidence of its existence. So-called physical
evidence has turned out to be false, he says. So most of the legend
around what lies in Loch Ness comes from stories and sightings.
And Shine has first-hand experience of how unreliable they can be.
However, Shine says it is hard to get rid of people’s belief. Lots of
locals, too, believe there is something hiding in the loch, according to
Cameron. But Shine, who now is still hoping to find out what is behind
the mystery, says the beauty of the monster myth is that no one can
disprove it. “If Operation Deepscan proved one thing, it is that you
can’t kill a legend with science,” he says.

Lawrence and into the Saint Lawrence River.The two Native Americans
he had taken before had learned French, and they served as guides.About
260 miles inland, Cartier reached the Native American village of
Stadacona.Today, the city of Quebec stands near that place.
Cartier and his men were among the first Europeans to winter in what
is now Canada.12.( ) After returning to France he reported tales
told by the native people of treasures farther inland.
