26、Plastics are everywhere. Microplastics—the size of a sesame(芝麻)seed or smaller—have been found on top of mountains, at the bottom of oceans, in rivers and lakes, and in whales, birds, and fish.
It isn’t too difficult to imagine how all that plastic ends up in our bodies of fresh water. A piece of research has shown as much as 75% of it comes from the breakdown of larger consumer products made of plastic—such as bottles, bags, and fishing poles. Clothing made from wool is another cause, as the microbeads(塑料微粒)are found in some health and beauty products recently forbidden by the United States and Canada.
But even though we know there is too much plastic where it doesn’t belongs, there is a lot we still don’t know. For example, what impacts do those plastics have on living organisms? Do plastics build up in ecosystems(生态系统)? Can they travel through the air? And, given that we are all likely to use more plastics due to some measures, what lasting influence will that have?
That’s exactly what makes our experimental hikes area in Canada’s original northern forest so unique and perfect. The 58 lakes and their river basin that make up the world’s freshwater laboratory are at the top of the river basin and are not fed by any significant upstream sources. This means researchers can monitor the air and water in and around the lakes to determine how much plastic pollution already exists in remote lakes. It also means that with the whole-lake experiment by carefully and safely adding microplastics and closely monitoring the ecosystem, we will better understand the influences on the whole lake and food web that it supports.
Besides, we will do more research and believe it will help us discover how big an influence microplastics really have and what we can do to fix them.
【1】How does the author develop Paragraph 2?
A．By presenting a fact.
B．By giving examples.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By listing numbers.
【2】What’s the purpose of the experiment in Canadian lakes area?
A．To monitor the ecosystem.
B．To track the air and water of the lakes.
C．To support the whole lake and food web.
D．To understand the effects of microplastics.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude to the research in the future?
A．Hopeful.
B．Unclear.
C．Doubtful.
D．Uncaring.
【4】What can we infer about the author from the text?
A．He’s a news reporter.
B．He’s a published writer.
C．He’s a scientific researcher.

27、About 12 years ago, I began making a series of dolls called “Wee Mountain Folk.” At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay（软陶）called cernit. The cloth dolls were beautiful, but it was impossible to get the level of detail（细节）I can get with clay.
First, I use wire（金属丝）to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire using the cernit. Then I make the doll’s clothes myself, using lots of different materials. The completed dolls are fixed onto hardwood bases made by my father, Jim Logan.
Generally, the dolls I make show older people taking part in traditional activities. I’ve always had a great respect for the older generation.
Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles（皱纹）on the face of one of my mom’s friends. But I explained that her laugh lines made her more attractive.
Now I work as a teacher’s assistant, and while I was raising my two daughters, Keri and Sheryl, I could work on the dolls only late in the day. The girls loved to come downstairs the next morning to see who’d arrived in the night.
It’s the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father, including a tiny creel — a basket used by fishermen for carrying fish. When the man got the doll, he immediately opened the creel to see what was inside. Luckily, I’d made a small fish out of cernit and placed it in the basket.
Hopefully my story will inspire others to try their hand at doll making — I find it very relaxing and interesting.
【1】The dolls called “Wee Mountain Folk” were ________.
A. totally hand made
B. mainly made of cloth

【3】The author’s daughters ________.
A. thought doll making was a waste of time
B. thought the dolls’ styles were too old

D. paid little attention to the dolls
【4】The author tells the story of the fisherman doll to show that ________.
A. it takes much effort to make a doll

D. her dolls have fine details
28、At 12, my father decided to take me on a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable sites in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.
We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our mastering what is honestly an excellent subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.
We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then boarded with us.
Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer (转乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and patted our hands gently at the stop. Then in his quiet way, he boarded the train to return the way he had come.
What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story.
【1】What happened to the author and his family on the train?
A．They couldn’t understand the signs of the train.
B．They failed to get off the train at the right time.
C．Their opinions divided about where to go first.

【2】How did the man help the author and his family?
A．By paying for their train tickets.
B．By showing them the returning way.
C．By leading them to their place.
D．By inviting them to travel together.
【3】Which of the following can best describe the last paragraph?
A．Seeing is believing.
B．Being kind is a good manner.
C．Travelling enriches one’s life.
D．Helping others brings great pleasure.
【4】What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the text?
A．To explain an unexpected problem.
B．To list the unbelievable sites in Paris.
C．To show the beauty of France.
D．To share an unforgettable foreign experience.
29、 Did your mother ever say you'll feel better after a good cry? It turns out Mom is right as usual — crying really is healthy. What's more, letting yourself feel blue and accepting those feelings will help you feel better in the long run, according to a new research.
In three separate studies both online and in a lab, researchers at UC Berkeley evaluated the responses from 1,300 adults regarding their psychological (心理的) health and emotional well-being (幸福感). In one study, 1,000 participants filled out a survey evaluating how they felt about the statement, “I tell myself I shouldn't be feeling the way that I'm feeling”. Those who agreed with the statement scored lower on tests of well-being. In other words, letting yourself feel bad is better for your mind and mood than trying to control negative thoughts.
“We found that people who habitually accept their negative emotions experience fewer negative emotions, which adds to better psychological health,” said study senior author Iris Mauss, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at UC Berkeley in an article on the university's website.
In a society where the importance to be happy is emphasized daily on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms, letting yourself be down in the dumps can be tough. Just remember that true happiness isn't always what people say it is.
“It turns out that how we approach our own negative emotional reactions is really important for our well-being,” said study lead author Brett Ford, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. “People who accept these emotions without judging or trying to change them are able to deal with their stress more successfully.”
So next time someone tells you to “turn that frown upside down”, ignore them. Embrace your inner Eeyore for a while.
【1】How did the researchers carry out one of the studies?
A.They gave the participants different tests.
B.They compared their own thoughts with others.
C.They studied the participants' everyday experiences.
D.They compared the participants' thoughts and their feelings.
【2】What does the underlined part"be down in the dumps"in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Be lonely. B.Be depressed.
C.Be positive. D.Be comfortable.
【3】What did Brett Ford try to show in Paragraph 5?
A.It is better for people to accept negative emotions.
B.We should never try to change others' thoughts.
C.People who accept themselves are happier.
D.Positive people tend to be less stressed.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Turn your frown upside down.
B.Listen to your mom to feel better
C.Stop feeling bad about feeling bad.
D.Stop feeling the way that you're feeling.
