21、According to US national park researchers, microplastic particles (微粒) equal to as many as 300 million plastic water bottles are raining down on the Grand Canyon.
In a survey of 11 remote western places, also including the Great Basin and Craters of the Moon national parks, researchers discovered more than 1000 tons of microplastic particles that had traveled through the atmosphere via rain or water particles.
Most microplastics are from larger pieces of plastic. Since plastics don’t degrade (降解), plastics that end up in waste piles or landfills break down into microparticles and make their way through the Earth’s atmosphere, soil and water systemics.
Janice Brahney, lead researcher at Utah State University, said, “Plastics could be deposited (沉降), readmitted to the atmosphere again, transported for some time…who knows how many times, and who knows how far they’ve traveled?”
Brahney’s team found that so-called wet microplastics, named for the way they are transported, are most likely disturbed by a storm and swept up into the atmosphere, having originated in larger urban areas. By comparison, the spreading patterns of dry microplastics is the same as dust and can travel long distances, often across continents.
Brahney warned that new findings show an urgent need to reduce plastic pollution. Although their full effects on the human body are still unknown, scientists are starting to raise public health concerns over microplastic particles: They’re small enough to stay in lung tissue, causing damage and, in some cases of routine exposure, can lead to asthma and cancer.
Scientists have also found that microplastic particles affect the temperature adjustment function of the soil, leading to losses in plant life.
Brahney believes that her research is just the beginning of understanding how microplastics move through ecosystems.
“Learning about plastics and how they don’t degrade seems like, ‘Oh my God, we should have been expecting this: they’ re just made into these tiny sizes, they could certainly be carried by the wind,” Brahney said.
“We’ve just been missing it,” she added.
【1】The direct cause of the microplastic rain is that_________.
A．small pieces from plastics become degradable

22、 In the latest attempt to deal with what academics and news call a “masculinity crisis”, the Education Ministry has proposed emphasizing the “spirit of yang”, or male qualities, by hiring more sports instructors and redesigning P.E. classes in schools.
Some social media users expressed support for the proposal, with one writing, “It’s hard to imagine such womanly boys can defend their country when an outside attack happens.” But others saw evidence of sexual discrimination and gender stereotypes (刻板印象).
Even state news media CCTV wrote on its Weibo account: “Education is not simply about cultivating ‘men’ and ‘women’. Strong inner qualities come first.”
CCTV also offered a general understanding of yang, writing, “Men show ‘the spirit of yang’ in manners, spirit and body shape, which is a kind of beauty, but ‘the spirit of yang’ does not simply mean ‘masculine’ (男性的) behavior.’ It should focus on a willingness of taking responsibility”.
The proposal was first made by Si Zefu, a deputy minister. He proposed that “many, many more” men should be hired as P.E. teachers to power a “masculine influence” in schools.
Mr. Si said the commonness of female teachers in schools and the popularity of “pretty boys” or “little fresh meat” had made boys “weak, fearful and shy,” adding that boys no longer wanted to become war heroes, warning that such a trend could endanger the Chinese people.
While the proposal did not include different treatment for boys and girls, educators like Liu Wenli, a professor at Beijing Normal University, see some risks. She said that even the reference “feminization of male youths” in the proposal could lead to more bullying of students because of their gender expression.
“Educators cannot call for the prevention of bullying in schools while developing the soil for bullying in schools,” she wrote on Weibo.
【1】What does “masculinity crisis” refer to in the text?
A．The more bullying of boy students.
B．The lack of professional physical instructors.
C．The trend of womanly features shown in boys.
D．The sexual discrimination and gender stereotypes.
【2】What is more of the “spirit of yang” according to CCTV?
A．The beauty of manners.
B．The typical male image.
C．The quality of being responsible.
D．The expectations to be a P.E teacher.
【3】To solve “masculinity crisis”, Si Zefu may agree to________.
A．treat boys and girls differently
B．prevent the school bullying
C．try to understand womanly boys
D．employ more male P.E. teachers
【4】What’s Liu Wenli’s attitude towards the proposal?
A．Concerned.
B．Approving.
C．Neutral.
D．Ambiguous.
23、The ride-sharing company Uber has removed its self-driving cars from the streets of San Francisco, California. The action came after a dispute between Uber and state officials over whether the vehicles needed special permits to operate.
Uber recently launched testing of its self-driving service in San Francisco. But shortly after the launch, California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) told the company to stop the self-driving vehicles. State officials said the Uber cars needed the same special permit given to about 20 other companies testing self-driving technology in California.
But Uber refused to obey and kept its cars on the road in San Francisco. The company, which operates a transportation network around the world, is based in San Francisco. Uber argued that its technology does not make vehicles fully autonomous, and so the special permit was not needed. It added that all of Uber’s self-driving cars have a driver sitting in the passenger seat to take over if needed.
The head of Uber’s self-driving technology, Anthony Levandowski, explained the company’s position in a blog post. He said the self-driving Uber vehicles do use high-technology tools to assist drivers. But, they are not fully autonomous and require a driver to be at the controls at all times.
He compared the technology to solar carmaker Tesla’s advanced driver assist tools. Telsa’s Autopilot system allows its cars to steer in a lane, change lanes, and speed up or slow down based on nearby traffic. The company tells drivers that, when using Autopilot, they should still always be ready to take control of the vehicle.
Vehicles equipped with these high-tech driver assist tools do not need a special permit to operate in California.
“It’s hard to understand why the DMV would seek to require self-driving Ubers to get permits when it accepts that Tesla’s autopilot technology does not need them,” Levandowski wrote. “We asked for clarification as to specifically what is different about our tech from the DMV, but have not received it.”
Uber and state officials were not able to come to an agreement on the issue. On Wednesday, the DMV said it had canceled the registration of Uber’s 16 self-driving cars in San Francisco. All U.S. vehicles driven on the road require state registration.
In September, Uber got its first U.S. approval to test self-driving vehicles in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Uber continues to test the cars and give people the chance to experience the technology.
San Francisco’s mayor, Ed Lee, praised the DMV for stopping Uber’s self-driving vehicles. He said he supports self-driving development and testing. “But only under conditions that put human, bicyclists’ and pedestrian safety first.”
There were several reports of unsafe incidents involving Uber’s self-driving vehicles in San Francisco. Most involved witnesses claiming they saw Uber vehicles not stopping for red lights.
Video of one incident was posted online that appeared to show a self-driving Uber car passing through a red light. Another person posted a photo of what she said was an Uber self-driving car in the road that did not stop for a red traffic light.
In response, Uber said the video of the incident showed why its cars always require close attention from a human driver — and therefore do not need a state permit.
Uber announced it would send the self-driving vehicles to the neighboring state of Arizona to begin a new test project there. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey reportedly said the state welcomed the cars with open arms and wide open roads.
【1】What can be learnt about Uber?
A. It is located in San Francisco. B. It ranks 20 in the car industry.
C. It seldom obeys federal laws. D. It has got the special permit.
【2】Why does Uber refuse to obey the order?
A. It is confident about its products. B. Its cars are not fully autonomous.
C. It has told the driver to take over. D. It has yet to apply high-tech tools.
【3】What’s Doug Ducey’s attitude towards Uber’s self-driving vehicles?
A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.
【4】What the implied meaning of the underlined sentence in the last Para.?
A. Arizona has wide open roads.
B. Arizona will develop self-driving cars.
C. Arizona is against the ban together with Uber.
D. Arizona warmly welcomes the new technology.
24、You’re faced with a lot of decisions in everyday work. There are multiple tasks calling for your focus, and you are burning daylight or even burn out trying to decide what comes first. 【1】
If you’re going to think smarter about how you prioritize (排序) tasks, you have to invest a little time away from your to-do list. Here’s the thing: what you work on confirms your values. You may think it’s no big thing to work overtime for a little while, but something will be sacrificed with this decision. If you’re a parent, you might spend less time with your kids. Similarly, if you choose not to work much or effectively, you’re deciding that your values lie outside your career. 【2】
Write all the tasks down and create four boxes containing all of things you care about. This could be: helps the community, helps one-to-one relationships, makes money, and things you find personally fulfilling. Then place them in the boxes and see how many of the boxes each one takes up. Anything that fills just one box has to be reconsidered. Anything that fills nothing should not be considered at all. 【3】From here, the rest of the prioritization gets a little easier. You now have a better idea where the efforts are really paying off. You also know when you are wasting your own time.
In order to figure out a plan for yourself, the first thing you should be doing is gathering all of your tasks, large and small. 【4】 Other people are counting on you or your future self will depend on them somehow. These are actually easier to prioritize. Then break down large tasks into smaller pieces. That helps put things in order. Part of the reason we do the small things first is that being productive feels good. Acknowledging accomplishments makes you more likely to keep going and pushes you through the more complicated tasks.
【5】 Notice when your energy levels are high and when they are weak. Be aware when you’re more productive for social activities and when you’re better off. The more you study yourself, the easier planning becomes.
Now that you have your priorities in order, go ahead and you will boost your productivity.
A．You can also prioritize based on energy levels.
B．The good news is that some tasks can keep you motivated.
C．So how can you figure out what’s most important to work on first?
D．This activity allows you to see where you really want to invest your energy.
E．If you want to make a new list, you need to turn to your colleagues for help.
F．There are some tasks that are pretty straightforward and you need to do the thing.
G．Where you invest your time is not just about what you value but also what you don’t value.
