26、Plastic pollution has long been a problem, but now it's gotten to a new height literally. Microplastic, referring to plastic fragments and particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter, have been found on Mount Qomolangma as high as 8,440 meters above sea level, just 408.86 meters below the peak of the mountain, according to a recent study published in the journal One Earth.

“These are the highest microplastics ever discovered so far.” lead author Imogen Napper from the University of Plymouth, UK, said in a statement. Scientists collected snow and water samples from 19 different locations from 4,200 meters above sea level all the way up to the summit of Mount Qomolangma. They found microplastics in all the water samples and part of the snow samples. The most polluted sample was from the Base Camp in Nepal, where most human activities on the mountain are concentrated. It had 79 particles of microplastics per liter of snow.

But how have these fragments made it all this way and in such a great abundance? The answer is apparent human activities. It is climbers who bring plastic products to the mountain. Even if they don't litter, just walking for 20 minutes or opening a bottle of water can release microplastics into the environment.

The harsh fact is that plastic pollution has reached even the most remote places on Earth. Researchers even found a plastic bag al the deepest point in the world's oceans—in the Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific Ocean. The bag is the same as the ones commonly used in grocery stores. Even covered in ice, the Arctic is still a victim of plastic pollution. A 2020 report published in Nature suggests that there are 2.000 to 17,000 plastic particles per cubic meter in Arctic ice cores, and between 0 to 18 microplastic particles per cubic meter from the water beneath ice floes. Experts think microplastics may be transported by air and then reach the North Pole in snowfall.

“What we don t yet fully know is the potential problems these tiny pieces of plastic could be having to ecosystems, to organisms and even to our own health as well,” said Christian Dunn of Bangor University, UK. Then what can we do? “We need to start focusing on deeper technological solutions that focus on microplastics, like changing fabric design and including natural fibers instead of plastic when possible.”

【1】What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?

A．The polluted samples from the peak were the most serious.

B．Plastic pollution has been discovered at high altitudes.

C．Humans have .climbed to the peak of Mount Qomolangma.

D．Microplastics are a newly-found material by researchers.

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A．Microplastics may go far beyond the range of human activities.

B．The means of microplastics transportation has been confirmed.

C．There are frequent exchanges between Arctic ice cores and ice floes.

【3】According to Christian Dunn, the key to addressing microplastic pollution is .

A．to prohibit the use of plastic products

B．to diversify the design of microplastics

C．to apply only natural fibrous alternatives

D．to develop more advanced technologies

【4】Which of the following is the best title?

A．Litter in the Mariana Trench

27、When I was two years old, I was diagnosed with a hearing loss. My mother cried when she found out—she wanted her son to be happy and able to experience everything life had to offer. I went to a special playgroup twice a week where a nurse discovered I had taught myself to read. At the age of five I attended a school for the deaf from age three to six.

I remember looking around the room there. People talked and signed to each other. I had a best friend and I did very well in class. But I told my mother that I wanted to go to the regular school with hearing people, because I felt more like a hearing person than a hearing-impaired (听力受损) one. I didn’t even use sign language! I lip-read and listened with my hearing aids. After visiting a public school for a day, my mother agreed to let me go. Without doubt, I have functioned very well.

Many people don’t even know I am hearing-impaired until they see my hearing aids. My classmates often forget that I have any problem, and I feel fortunate that they do not look down upon people like me. The only problem I have with this hearing loss is that some people discriminate against me. The fact is that I am just as normal as anyone else. The only differences are that others need to speak up, and I have some help from my hearing aids.

The next time you see hearing-impaired people, don’t feel sorry for them because that just gives them an excuse to mistreat themselves and hurt their own advantages. Instead, encourage them and tell them that a disability only hurts a person if he or she lets it.

【1】Which is TRUE about the author when he was 5?

A．He went to a special playgroup.

B．He attended a school for the deaf.

C．He stayed at home with his mother.

D．He was diagnosed with hearing loss.

【2】Why did the author want to attend the regular school?

A．He even didn’t know sign language.

B．He had few friends at the deaf school.

C．He didn’t believe his handicap was a big problem.

D．He found it very hard to get along with his classmates.

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “functioned” in Para.2?

A．remembered

B．translated.

C．challenged.

D．performed.

【4】What can we infer from the last sentence?

A．A disabled person should be well treated.

B．If a person is disabled, he will hurt himself.

C．The disabled should regard themselves as normal.

D．A normal person is disabled, he will hurt himself.

28、When people think about British music, for the most part they think about the 60s or 70s with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or more modern artists like Adele or Ed Sheeran. However, stuck between these two ages was, in my opinion, British music’s best period. The 90s were an optimistic time for Britain and indeed Europe, with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold War ending.

One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”. This was a style of pop music that aimed to promote “Britishness” and commonly featured electric guitars, drums and male singers. Britpop was the style used by world-famous bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Suede who became known as “The Big Four”. The summer of 1995 was dominated by the “Battle of Britpop” which was between Blur and Oasis for the number one spot. Eventually, Blur won the battle and Oasis settled for second.

However, the 90s weren’t only for the boys, with major female groups also finding fame, the most well-known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world. Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies and lyrics, but they also started the “Girl Power” movement which helped empower girls and women worldwide. It isn’t too far to assume that without their music, many female singers and artists who we love today would not have had the confidence to pursue their dream.

British music may have had many great times, however the 90s are often overlooked. Although I was not alive to enjoy the music properly, the 90s had a huge impact on British culture that can be felt today and I feel that the decade should get the recognition it deserves!

【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A．The Cold War came to an end in the 80s.

B．Britain’s economy began to pick up in the 90s.

C．The Beatles represented the best British music.

D．Adele is better than Ed Sheeran in modern music.

【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．Britpop.

B．Britishness.

C．The Big Four.

D．Battle of Britpop.

【3】What’s the most important influence of “the Spice Girls” according to the text?

A．Promoting “Britishness”.

B．Empowering girls and women.

C．Creating catchy melodies.

D．Finding fame for female groups.

【4】The writer thinks the impact of the 90s music on British culture is ________.

A．underestimated

B．well-recognized

C．fairly evaluated

D．reasonably doubted

29、   Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), people all over the world are wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let’s take a look at some mask-related history.

1st century

In that century, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses. To address this problem, Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Although simple, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.

19th century

The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent (注册专利) a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann designed a simple mask composed of one layer of gauze (纱布).

20th century

In 1910, an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”. Made of two layers of surgical gauze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to manufacture and had a low production cost.

Modern exploration

With several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu, and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. In the future, masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.

【1】According to the text, why were masks invented in the first century?

A.To reduce the risk of infection.

B.To protect miners from dust.

C.To indicate patients with respiratory illnesses.

D.To protect doctors from harmful chemicals.

【2】What was considered a milestone in face mask history?

A.Getting a patent on protective masks for miners.

B.Using cloth instead of animal skins.

C.The invention of gas masks in 1897.

D.Using more than one layer of gauze.

【3】“Wu’s mask” grew popular around the world because _____.

A.it could be used multiple times

B.it was cheap and easy to manufacture

34、Directions：Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.
