22、Microplastics are “one of the greatest man-made disasters of our time”, according to the Natural History Museum. That’s bad news, given they are also everywhere: in tap water, the food you buy, the clothes you wear and the air you breathe.
The largest microplastics can be seen by the naked eye and are anything under half a cen- timetre in size. But many of them are small enough to act like spots of dust which we can unconsciously breathe in or eat in food. The smallest particles are called nanoplastics and they are small enough to get their way deep into the human body.
New findings from the University of Portsmouth show that there is so much synthetic material in our homes that we might be breathing in up to 7, 000 microplastic particles a day. Using special equipment, researchers measured a typical family home and found the highest concentration of it was in the bedroom of the eight-year-old daughter, whose room was decorated with plastic-based bedding, carpet and soft toys.
Although research is in its early stage, the risks of these plastics could be serious—some studies have linked high exposure to cancer risk and disrupting our hormones. In animal studies, the particles have been shown to affect metabolism, gut bacteria and the immune system, among other things.
It is not yet known what a healthy level of microplastics might look like, but Dr Sabine Donnai, CEO of the Viavi clinic, thinks that many people in the West are over the limit. In tests at her clinic, patients often come back with dangerously high levels of plastic in their bodies, she says.

A.The seriousness of microplastics.

【3】What does the underlined word “disrupting” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Deciding.
B.Disturbing.
C.Discovering.
D.Defending.
【4】What would be a suitable title for the text?
A.New study found microplastics
B.Microplastics are found in clothes
C.Microplastics are threatening our life
D.We breathe in microplastics every day
23、Beaches are great places for fun and relaxation of the travel world. These slivers of sand against the ocean make you realize that “real life” occasionally needs escaping. If you are beach lovers, the following ones are worth your visit.
Playa Paraiso
One of the wonderful beaches in the world is Playa Paraiso in Cuba’s finest beach island Cayo Largo. The weather is usually calm and the sea here remains shallow most of the year. Most people go to Playa Paraiso to enjoy calm water to swim or simply relax on the beach.
Nungwi
Nungwi is considered to be the most beautiful beach of Zanzibar. The island has long been loved by adventurous travelers for its mysterious old Stone Town and about 30 untouched beaches. The blue waters and coral (珊瑚) around Nungwi are home to many marine creatures.
Maya Bay
Maya Bay is a white sand beach hugged by steep cliffs. Coral reefs make it an excellent spot for snorkeling (浮潜). This strikingly beautiful beach has got more attention after featuring in the Leonardo DiCaprio film The Beach, but it’s still worth visiting for the dramatic setting and snorkeling opportunities.
Sun Island
Recognized as the world’s best beach, Sun Island is located on a beach lover’s paradise, Maldives. This diamond in the middle of the Indian Ocean has become a favorite with ocean lovers drawn by the thought of sleeping over the water. Nearby coral reefs attract thousands of tropical fish, snorkelers and divers. But you don’t even need to snorkel to enjoy the scenery — parts of the reef are visible from the beach, so clear is the water.
【1】If you are fond of untouched beaches, which one will you choose to travel?
