26、Human activity is bringing big trouble to Mount Qomolangma. Both microplastics(微塑料) and climate change are polluting the mountain and causing its ice to melt, scientists say.
The highest mountain in the world is facing the problem of microplastics. A recent study found that the mountain is full of these plastics, which are usually less than 5 millimeters in size. They can be found in many things, including the clothing, tents and ropes that are left behind by climbers.
Microplastics take thousands of years to break down on their own. They are already known for posing a danger to sea animals. Now people are worried about Qomolangma, as the mountain already suffers from serious pollution.
Global warming is also affecting the mountain, as well as its climbers. Another study points out that the glaciers around Qomolangma have thinned by nearly 100 meters since the 1960s. As the ice melts, cracks in the ice are becoming deeper and more dangerous, bringing danger to those who try to climb the mountain, according to Global News.
Landslides(滑坡) are also becoming more probable. There are many parts of the mountain that are held together by just frozen rocks or permafrost(永久冻土), according to Professor Joseph Shea at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. When this permafrost melts, the risk of dangerous landslides goes up.
【1】Why is Mount Qomolangma full of microplastics?
A.Because of climate change.
B.Because microplastics are tiny.
C.Because of human activity.
D.Because the mountain ice melts.
【2】What does the underlined word “posing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Causing.
B.Sensing.
C.Warning.
D.Controlling.
【3】How much have the glaciers probably thinned every ten years since the 1960s?
A.By 11 meters.
B.By 17 meters.
C.By 23 meters.
D.By 29 meters.
【4】What do we know about the glaciers around Mount Qomolangma?
A.They are more dangerous than landslides.
B.They made landslides happen all the time.
C.Landslides are caused by melted permafrost.
D.The cracks in the ice were made by climbers.
【5】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Education.
B.Health.
C.Technology.
D.Environment.
27、You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first year college student. “Fifteen” means fifteen pounds—the fifteen pounds added to a student's weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first year university students gain(增加) weight; but it's encouraging to know that freshman don't have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.
Mistakes in choosing food
University kitchens serve many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their parents are not nearby(在身边) to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as hamburgers. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.
Eating right
If you're careful, you don't have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas.
Think more about what you eat.
Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meat.
Don't eat desserts(甜点) full of sugar; have fruit after dinner.
Try not to eat so much junk food while you study.
It's all right to have a little fast food sometimes—but not often.
Write down the food you eat.
Walk, run, do sports—move and you will feel better!
Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not eat junk food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.
