26、It seems there’s nowhere left to run from the microplastic (微塑料的)pollution. A small pilot study recently took microplastics from one of Europe’s most distant places, the French Pyrenees mountains, and found as many microplastics in the soil as you might expect from a big city like Paris.

The reason? The wind. Researchers now fear that our planet’s winds can pick up microplastics from about anywhere and transport them around the world, sometimes in large quantities. “We’d kind of expected it in a city getting blown around,” said Steve Allen from the University of Strathclyde in the UK, one member of the team. “But way up there? We expected to find some, ” he said. “We didn’t expect to find so many.”

Microplastics are pieces smaller than a fifth of an inch that have broken down from larger pieces of plastic. The forces of nature don’t distinguish (区分)between materials like stones and rocks, and plastics. Wind and waves hit plastics and break them down just the same, making them into dust that can then get swept up by the gentle wind and into the atmosphere. It’s a continuing environmental concern, as more and more microplastics find their way into our food and air.

The fact that microplastics can be found in large numbers even in distant places is a sign that is has become a global pollution problem. Steve Allen and his team set up collectors 4,500 feet up in the mountains for five months to trap plastic particles (粒子) as they fell to the Earth. The team found that an average of 365 plastic particles fell on their square meter collector daily. This included bits form plastic bags, plastic film and packaging material, among other plastic sources. Many of these materials were small enough to be breathed in without even realizing it. They’re in the air, and they’re everywhere.

【1】How did Steve Allen think of the finding?

A．It was interesting.

B．It was surprising.

C．It was conflicting.

D．It was disappointing.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．How the wind spreads the microplastics.

B．How the microplastics come into being.

C．How the microplastic pollution appears.

D．How the wind makes the pollution serious.

【3】What do we know about the plastic particles?

A．It is difficult to collect them.

B．They all come from big cities.

C．They are part of the air we breathe.

D．It is impossible to know their source.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Plastics have been found in the distant areas.

B．Plastics are proved to do great harm to the soil.

C．The microplastic pollution is worse in big cities.

D．Wind is carrying microplastics around the world.

27、   Sarah got a sudden sinking feeling, and she could sense approaching danger. Without thinking she stood up, and faced toward the direction of the sound. That's when she saw a gray tail through the bushes. Desperately Sarah climbed up a tall pine tree. She knew its smell would be of some help. The merciless creature stepped in, sniffing around.

The branch cracking slightly, the wolf looked around, then up and made direct eye contact with Sarah. It gave a short howl, and then two more large wolves came running. Sarah grabbed a branch and threw it far behind them, who dashed after it, but weren't gone for long. They had realized they were tricked. They started jumping at her legs, and the worst happened. The branch, her lifeline, gave out on her and she landed onto the ground, nearly on top of the lead wolf. They immediately surrounded her, glaring at her in the eyes. She raised her head, thinking to herself, "If this is the way I am going to die, I might as well die with dignity." Grabbing the branch that betrayed her, she stood up, smacking it around, and the wolves began backing up.

Finally she was able to get out of the circle, and ran over to a spot with a bunch of empty bottles. She tied one to each fist, and then smashed them on a rock so that if she hit one of the wolves, the broken glass would cause a lot more damage. Meanwhile, Sarah grabbed a branch and was able to reach out and smack the lead wolf in the face. He fell down and the other wolves began sniffing at him, then she rushed as fast as possible. "I will never be able to outrun them, but I have to try", she thought to herself. She ran as if she never ran before. Finally the wolves were out of sight.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Sarah's escape from the wolves?

28、   A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend—a bear.

The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends at his grandmother’s house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned to the house and Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still-no Casey.

Then on January 24, someone called the police saying they heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. They pulled him out of some briar. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his “friend”. Sheriff Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. However, the sheriff said, “He did say he had a friend with him in the woods that was a bear.”

Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military. Officer Hughes told reporters that at no point did he think Casey had been kidnapped. Doctors at Carolina East Medical Center treated Casey for minor injuries. He was then released to his family on January 25.

【4】How do you think people feel after reading the news?

A.Disappointed and tired. B.Relieved and curious.

C.Amused and excited. D.Frightened and sad.

29、Taking a Child Fishing

There is nothing quite like seeing the smile on a young person’s face when they catch their fish. Here are some simple steps that can be taken to help children and parents enjoy these early fishing experiences.

【1】

It’s easier to teach young children to fish if your attention is towards them and not towards your own fishing. If you are also trying to fish, this can make that difficult for both of you. 【2】 When they need your help, you can hand down your tool and they can keep fishing.

Keep trips short.

Children have short attention periods. 【3】 Take this into consideration when planning a trip. When it stops being fun for them, it’s time to call it a day.

Bring plenty of snacks and drinks.

Even though most of these trips will be short, they will get hungry and thirsty. Bringing plenty of snacks and drinks gives them a little break from fishing. 【4】 You can use this time while they are eating or playing to do some fishing yourself.

Other than fishing.

Just because they are on a fishing trip doesn’t mean that they have to finish all the time. Let them do things besides fishing as long as it isn’t interfering (打扰) with the people fishing around you. 【5】

A stop on the way home for ice cream or other treats can also be a fun part of the trip. Remember it’s all about them having fun and hopefully wanting to go fishing with you again.

A.Let them help make choices.

B.Make the fishing trip about them.

C.Children love to feel like they are helping out.

D.This can be more exciting to them than the actual fishing.

E.The same is true if you bring a few small toys for them to play with.

F.One way to solve this problem is for you to use the tool the child can use.

G.An hour or possibly two will be about all of the fishing they can handle in a day.

About 97 percent of 【2】 patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation（公共卫生）measures.

Particularly, antibiotics are overused in the 【3】 of children. Nearly one third of the daily 10,000 outpatients at the Beijing children’s Hospital take intravenous drips（静脉输液）that largely contain antibiotics.

“Some doctors might lack proper training on how to 【4】antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid 【5】risks. Some simply want to play it safe,” said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital.

The ministry 【6】 a nationwide campaign over the past six months to 【7】 the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals have 【8】 supervision on prescription（处方）safety under heavy pressure from patients.

Insiders also noted that the overuse of antibiotics was partly 【9】by profit-seeking pharmacy （制药）firms.

About 60 percent of the newly 【10】 medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) last year were antibiotics. According to the SFDA, the country reported 690,000 cases of adverse drug reactions caused by abuse of medicine, including 600 deaths in 2010.
