22、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

B．microplastic particles travel into the atmosphere

C．plastic particles end up in waste piles or landfills

D．plastic water bottles are transported to the water systems

【2】What did Janice Brahney and her team find out?

A．The structure of microplastic particles.

B．The distance that microplastics can travel.

C．The way that microplastics are transported.

D．The different types of microplastic particles.

【3】What does the author mainly want to tell us with the text?

A．Microplastics have affected the ecosystem.

B．Plastic particles have serious effects on human health.

C．Methods to degrade plastics could be developed soon.

D．Researchers have missed the best time to study plastics.

【4】What’s the attitude of Brahney towards the microplastic move according to the last two paragraphs?

A．Favorable.

B．Uncaring.

C．Doubtful.

D．Worried.

23、   One spring day. once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.

A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home, stick her long, straw-like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill, she'll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the water from the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4.000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth of a tea spoon of me.

The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally—I never go bad.

Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I'd appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much—to you, to me—without ever asking for anything in return.

【1】What does "me" refer to in the passage?

A.The flower. B.The bee.

C.Water. D.Honey.

【2】What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?

A.Bees' special talent. B.Bees’ hard work.

C.Bees' living environment. D.Bees' social behavior.

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

A.A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.

B.Before "me" is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.

C.The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.

D.Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens.

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To appeal for help for honeybees.

B.To talk about the history of a treasure.

C.To put forward techniques for gardeners.

D.To argue against the control of chemicals.

24、   A little boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because poliomyelitis (小儿麻痹症) made his leg lame and his teeth uneven. He seldom played with his classmates; and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.

One spring, the boy’s father asked for some saplings (树苗) from the neighbor. He told his children to plant a sapling each person. The father said, “Whose seedling grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t wilt, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him: from the tree he planted, he would become an outstanding botanist when he grew up.

Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn't sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a ladle (勺子). He returned to his room, tears running down his face.
