24、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.

Are you shy？If you are，you are not alone．In fact，close to 50percent of people are shy．Almost 80percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives．These days，shyness is becoming more and more common．Now，scientists are trying to understand shyness．They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy．

Is it possible to be born shy？Many scientists say yes．They say 15to 20percent of babies behave shyly．These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies．Interestingly，these shy babies usually have shy parents．As a result，scientists think that some shyness is genetic．

Family size might cause people to be shy as well．Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children．They found that 66percent of them had older brothers and sisters．As a result，they became shy．At the same time，children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well．Growing up alone，they often play by themselves．They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families．

You may also be shy because of where you were born．When scientists studied shyness in different countries．They found surprising differences．In Japan，most people said they were shy．But in Israel，only one of three people said so．What explains the difference？One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure．In Japan，when people do not succeed，they feel bad about themselves．They blame（责备）themselves for their failure．In Israel，the opposite is true．Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons，such as family，teachers，friends，or bad luck．In Israel，freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported．This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy．

26、

A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background, a young girl reads a rejection (拒绝) letter from a ballet school. “You have the wrong body for ballet,” it says, “and at thirteen, you are too old.” This was one of the most popular advertisements of 2014 and it describes American Ballet Theater's principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.

This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three, Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old girl. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn't have the perfect body type (She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo (单独的) performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.

Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: “My career (职业) really is just now beginning.”

【1】How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer?

A.13. B.14. C.25. D.33.

【2】Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?

A.Because her family moved a lot.

B.Because she was not a good dancer.

C.Because she had no invitation letter.

D.Because she had the wrong body type.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Copeland became successful because of the advertisement.

B.Copeland had to spend a lot of time away from her parents.

C.Copeland won her first national competition as a solo performer.

D.Copeland has ended up her career as an actress on Broadway.

【4】What's the writer's opinion of Copeland?

A.Copeland sets an example who never gives up.

B.Copeland was too old to start ballet at thirteen.

C.Copeland has made her achievements by accident.

D.Copeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.

27、“You are what you eat” is a common English saying. It means the food you eat will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.

　　“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts.”said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience(体验) every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”

In one of their experiments(实验), college students were asked questions about their characters, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

　　In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate helped other people in need, but those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more possibly to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

　　The result of experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” refer to(指代) ?

A. The English saying.   B. The eating habit.

C. The American team.   D. The sweet food.

【2】According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people ______.

A. overweight   B. excited   C. friendly   D. relaxed

【3】Which kind of people may be less helpful?

A. The ones who like ice-cream.

B. The ones who prefer chocolate.

C. The ones who eat many cookies.

D. The ones who eat many chips.

【4】According to the passage, which of the followings is NOT true?

A. Some scientists discovered something new about eating sweet food.

B. Kids are told to keep away from sweet food to be fat.

C. What you put in your mouth will show your character.

D. If people want to be kind or friendly, they can try some sweet food.

【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Scientists asked college students questions about their characters.

B. People who like sweet food are more willing to help others.

C. Scientists told college students not to eat sweet food.

D. People’s character has nothing to do with their taste.
