19、uit and vegetables every day, new research has come out revealing that you might be swallowing microplastic particles(颗粒)along with all those vitamins, minerals, and fiber.Agroundbreaking study published in the journal Environmental Research has found that fruits and vegetables absorb microplastic p

20、articles from the soil and move them through vegetal tissues, where they remain until eaten by hungry diners, thus getting transferred to human bodies. The researchers, who are from the University of Catania in Italy, as well as Sousse and Monastir universities in Tunisia, analyzed a variety of comm

21、on fruits and vegetables-carrots, lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, apples, and pears. These were chosen for the fact that they are frequently consumed, usually one per day, which allowed the researchers to better assess the dietary intakes of MPs (microplastic particles) and NPs (nano-plastics). The sam

22、ples were purchased from different sources in the city of Catania, including a small fruit vendor and a supermarket. The researchers found that apples, followed by pears, were the most polluted fruit samples, and carrots were the most polluted vegetable. In the studys discussion section, the authors

23、 wrote, “We can assume that the fruits contain more MPs not only because of the very high vascularization(血管化)of the fruit pulp (果肉) but also due to the greater size and complexity of the root system and age of the tree (several years) compared to the vegetables (60-75 days for the carrot).” This st

24、udy is important because its the first to detect microplastics in fruits and vegetables. They have been found in other sources before, such as sea salt, beer, water(bottled, in particular), shellfish, sugar, soil, and even air, but never inside fresh produce. Its an alarming discovery that raises ye

25、t another red flag about microplastic pollution in the natural environment. Its an area that will likely see a lot more attention in coming years, with the study authors calling for further research into the question of microplastic and whether it harms the health of both plants and humans. 4. What

26、is the study about? A. The main cause of soil pollution. B. The great changes in peoples diets. C. The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables. D. The microplastic pollution in fruits and vegetables. 5. Why did researchers choose frequently eaten fruits and vegetables? A. To lower the cost of the s

27、tudy.B. To gain widespread acceptance. C. To improve the accuracy of the study.D. To reduce the time for preparing the samples. 6. What makes the study quite special? A. It showed the influences of MPs on plants. B. It proved the source of microplastic pollution. C. It presented the danger of MPs to

28、 humans body. D. It discovered MPs in fresh produce for the first time. 7. What do the study authors think of the research on microplastic? A. It needs to be further studied.B. It wasted them quite a lot of time. C. It has raised peoples awareness of health.D. It has attracted peoples attention to d

29、iets. C Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease “spillover” from animals to humans. “As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment,

30、 humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly,” said Jeanne Fair from the LosAlamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. “Everything is sort of shif

31、ting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,” Fair said. Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists (流行病学家) on Fairs team at LosAlamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. Its early d

32、ays for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rain forests and into orchards (果园) in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease

33、reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s. “Were going by the past data to really predict whats going to happen in the future,” Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface, thats sort of an emerging disease hot spot.

34、And so, thats just increasing as we go forward.” Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia Universitys public health school, argues we dont yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease t

35、hat affects millions of people across the world every year.As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up. 8. How does

36、 climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair? A. By breaking animalshabits.B. By increasing animalsvarieties. C. By promoting animalsbreeding.D. By changing animalsliving environment. 9. What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3? A. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus. B.

37、Proving the harm of bats to human beings. C. Showing the effects of climate change on disease. D. Presenting scientistsearly study about the cause of disease. 10. What can we infer from Fairs words in paragraph 4? A. Humans should give up studying animals. B. Frequent contact with animals can cause

38、disease outbreaks. C. Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out. D. Past data can solve the problems in the future. 11. What could be the best title for the text? A. Climate Change and Disease Spillover B.AnimalsInteraction with Humans C. Early Studies about Extreme Weather D. ScientistsPr

39、ediction for Disease Outbreaks D Experts agree that parents who give up control over their childrens lives would raise them to be more independent adults. While the vast majority of parents are not in the position to bribe their children into elite(精英) schools, this extreme case illustrates the temp

40、tation many feel to take control of their kidslives. But an extreme hands-on approach can have devastating (毁灭性的) consequences when it comes to a childs mental health. “These parents thought their kids were incapable of managing their lives by themselves. And I dont think theres any worse message yo

41、u can give somebody than I dont have any confidence in your ability to handle your own life,” the clinical neuropsychologist Willam Stixrud told HuffPost. Stixrud is the author of The Self-driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives, along with Ned Johnson.

42、In their research, Stixrud and Johnson have identified the importance for young people to feel a sense of control over their own lives. “We have this epidemic(流行病) of stress-related problems like anxiety and depression, and so many of those are related to the fact that kids feel so little control ov

43、er their lives,” said Stixrud. “They feel like, Heres a script to get into college, and thats what your life is going to be.Its incredibly stressful and discouraging for many kids.” In order to develop healthy self-motivation, young people need to feel a sense of agency and autonomy, which parents a

44、nd educators have the power to promote. “We suggest parents think of themselves as consultants, rather than a kids manager or boss, or the homework police. Its a very different kind of thinking about your role”, said Stixrud, “As a consultant, your role is not to force anything or say You need to be

45、 like this. Instead, help your kid understand what he or she wants to be.” He advises parents to encourage their kids to make their own decisions long before the college years. Its important to constantly ask, “Whose life is this?” and realize the answer is “My childs life, not mine.” 12. What does

C.Its harmful to childrens mental health. D. It can help children to be admitted into better schools. 13. What does the underlined word
