22、 It has long been known that several chemicals used in plastic toys can be harmful to human health. However, it is difficult for parents to figure out how to avoid plastic toys containing chemicals that may cause possible health risks to their children. For the most part, regulations and international lists of “chemicals of concern” in toys focus on certain substance groups with known harmful properties, but do not cover the wider range of chemicals found in plastic toys.
Researchers from DTU and the University of Michigan together with UN Environment have looked into this important issue, analyzed data on chemical functions and amounts found in plastic toys, and quantified related children exposure and potential health risks. “Out of 419 chemicals found in hard, soft and foam plastic materials used in children toys, we identified 126 substances that can potentially harm children’s health either via cancer or non-cancer effects. These substances should be avoided in toy materials and replaced with safer and more sustainable alternatives,” says Peter Fantke, Professor at DTU Management.
Many lists have existed that inform about “chemicals of concern” across product and material applications. However, what is currently missing is any information about the levels at which the use of chemicals in the different applications would be safe and sustainable. Peter Fantke explains, “Since the same chemicals can be found in different concentrations across toy materials, we have estimated the ‘maximum acceptable chemical content (MACC)’ for all the substances reported to be found in plastic toys. Such information will help toy companies to evaluate the amount of chemicals used for a specific function against such standards.”
For parents, it will continue to be difficult to avoid using plastic toys that can contain harmful chemicals, until regulators include all substances, and address exposure to toys. A good piece of advice from the researchers is hence to reduce the consumption of plastic materials in general, avoid the use of soft plastic toys, and remember to allow fresh air to enter and move around your children’s rooms well every day.
【1】What do we know about the harmful chemicals in toys?
A．They may lead to cancer.
B．The y add up to 419 kinds.
C．They exist in all plastic toys.
D．They’ve all been discovered.
【2】What is the current concern of researchers?
A．Toy companies are not responsible enough.
B．The use of chemicals are not safe and sustainable.
C．The safe level of chemicals used in toys is uncertain.
D．Practical measures haven’t been taken by the authority.
【3】How could parents do to deal with the issue of plastic toys?
A．Stop using plastic toys.
B．Guarantee fresh room air.
C．Address exposure to toys.
D．Do research on chemicals in toys.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A．Stop Purchasing Plastic Toys
B．Potentially Harmful Chemicals Found in Plastic Toys
C．Negative Impacts Plastic Toys Have on Children
D．How to Keep Your Children Healthy
23、 Small seating in the economy-class (经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life-threatening. Space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.
A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane's safety tips in case of emergency. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.
A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a menace to passengers, "We don't think it is a safety matter," he said, "We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet them?" In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy.
Until recently, economy class was at least “bearable”— with an 86-centimeter seat Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable eats. But the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres. Some Qatar Airways offer the chance to upgrade - at a price - to seats which, at 89-91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines.
【1】Which is true according to the report from doctors of Vienna?
A.10% of passengers in economy class adopt the brace position.
B.More spaces could increase the chance of survival.
C.30% of passengers on board adopt the brace position.
D.Passengers in first class are most likely to survive.
【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3?
A.Threat. B.Advantage. C.Bonus. D.Concern.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.
B.Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could increase danger in the crash.
C.Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat.
D.Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge,
【4】Where does the passage most probably come from?
A.A biography. B.A book review. C.A magazine. D.A realistic novel.
24、Climate change in the coming decades could lead to an increase in cases of kidney stones(肾结石), according to a research by scientists in the United States.
A research team from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia knew from previous studies that high temperatures and dehydration (脱水) increase the risk of developing kidney stones. The researchers said incidence (发生率) of the condition has increased in the last 20 years.
The scientists created a model to estimate the impact of heat on future kidney stone presentations in the southeastern US state of South Carolina, which has a higher incidence of kidney stone disease. The model predicted that the number of cases will increase between 2.2 percent and 3.9 percent by the year 2089, depending on projected daily temperatures under two climate change circumstances. In the first case, greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) are cut to an middle level as humans shift to using lower-emissions sources of energy, while in the second, emissions continue at the current rate. Meanwhile, in the first case, average temperatures increase by 2.3℃ by 2100, compared with 3.6℃ in the second. These projections were taken from studies made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In comments with a news release, Gregory E Tasian, a urologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and senior author of the study, said, “While it is impossible to predict with certainty how future policies will slow or speed greenhouse gas emission and anthropogenic (人为的) climate change, and to know exactly what future daily temperatures will be, our analysis suggests that a warming planet will likely cause an increased burden of kidney stone disease on healthcare systems. As researchers, we have a duty to explore the burden of climate change on human health.”
【1】Why does the author talk about temperature increase?
A．To find the reason of climate change.
B．To estimate the burden of kidney stones.
C．To predict the strength of greenhouse gas emissions.
D．To confirm the increasing incidence of kidney stones.
【2】How did the scientists start the study?
A．By creating a model.
B．By predicting the effect.
C．By collecting information.
D．By measuring temperatures.
【3】What can be inferred about global warming?
A．It will increase daily temperatures greatly.
B．It will be predicted by the model accurately.
C．It will likely have bad effects on human health.
D．It will be certainly controlled by future polices.
【4】What is the scientists’ attitude to the impact of climate change on kidney stones?
A．Ambiguous.
B．Concerned.
C．Cautious.
D．Doubtful.
