23、t 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 particles from the soil and move them through vegetal t
24、issues, 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 common fruits and vegetables-carrots, lettuce, broccoli, p
25、otatoes, 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 samples were purchased from different sources in the city
26、 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 wrote, “We can assume that the fruits contain more MP
27、s 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 study is important because its the first to detect micro
28、plastics 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 yet another red flag about microplastic pollution in the
29、 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 is the study about? A. The main cause of soil pollutio
30、n. 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 study.B. To gain widespread acceptance. C. To improve th
31、e 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 humans body. D. It discovered MPs in fresh produce for
32、 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 diets. 【答案】4. D5. C6. B7.A 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究发
33、现水果和蔬菜会吸收土壤中的微塑料颗粒，被人吸收后进入人 体内，但对人体是否有害处仍尚未得知。 【4 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A groundbreaking study published in the journal Environmental Research has found that fruits and vegetables absorb microplastic particles from the soil and move them through vegetal tissues, where they remain until eaten by hungrydi
34、ners, thus getting transferred to human bodies.”一项发表在环 境研究杂志上的开创性研究发现，水果和蔬菜从土壤中吸收微塑料颗粒，并将它们通过植物组织移动， 直到饥饿的食客吃掉它们，从而转移到人体。所以这篇研究是关于水果和蔬菜中的微塑料污染。故选 D 项。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“These were chosen for the fact that they are frequently consumed, usually one per day, which allowed the researchers to better
35、assess the dietary intakes of MPs (microplastic particles) and NPs (nano-plastics). ”选择它们的原因是它们经常被消耗，通常每天都吃，这使研究人员可以更好地评估 MPs(微 颗粒)和 NPs(纳米塑料)的饮食摄入量。可知研究人员选择经常吃的水果和蔬菜是为了以提高研究的准确性。 故选 C 项。 【6 题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“This study is important because its the first to detect microplastics in fruits and veget
36、ables.”这项研究很重要，因为它是第一个检测水果和蔬菜中的微塑性的方法。可知让这项研究特别的 是它证明了微塑性污染的来源。故选 B 项。 【7 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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”未来几年，这一领域可能会引起更多关注， 研究者呼吁对微塑性问题进行进一步研究。 可知研究者认为对于微
37、塑性污染的研究需要进一步推进。 故选 A 项。 【点睛】 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
38、a changing environment, 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. “Eve
39、rything is sort of shifting 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 infectiou
40、s diseases. Its early days 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
41、bats, a common disease 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 eme
42、rging disease hot spot.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, mos
43、quitoes carry disease that 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 w
44、ill pop up. 8. How does 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 influe
45、nce of Nipah virus. B. 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
46、with animals can cause 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
47、Weather D. ScientistsPrediction for Disease Outbreaks 【答案】8. D9. C10. B11.A 【解析】 本文是一篇议论文，聚焦气候变化对疾病传播的影响。 【8 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. Everything is sort of shifting and will s
48、hift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,”可以得知 Fair 认为通过改变动物的栖息地，气候变化将 使疾病蔓延的机会更加频繁，随着气候变化带来的环境变化，一切都在某种程度上发生变化，并将向未来 转变。也就是说气候变化通过改变动物的生活环境(即栖息地)来影响疾病的传播。故选 D 项。 【9 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at lea
49、st one outbreak.”可知之前的研究表明极端天气已经在至少一次疫情爆发中发挥了作用。根据第三段中的 “Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rain forests and into orchards in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time
50、in the late 1990s.”可知作者举了一个蝙蝠的例子：干旱和森林砍伐两者的结合迫使蝙蝠离开 雨林，进入马来西亚的果园寻找食物。这些蝙蝠是一种常见的疾病宿主，然后在 20 世纪 90 年代末首次通 过猪将尼帕病毒传播给人类。由此推知这个蝙蝠的例子是为了说明气候变化对疾病的影响。故选 C 项。 【10 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface, thats sort of an emerging disease hot spot.”可知 Fair 说
