It’s cmmnly acknwledged that ur lives are ruled by algrithms (算法), but have we really cllectively understd hw they have transfrmed ur culture and persnality?
In Filterwrld: Hw algrithms flattened culture, Kyle Chayka argues cnvincingly that the rise f algrithm-driven feeds, used everywhere nline frm Instagram t Sptify, has led t a mre unifrm culture. Our tastes and desires increasingly dn’t belng t us, but t algrithms that are designed t keep peple engaged at all csts. If the cllectin f ur tastes truly shapes ur entire persnality, then this lss is mre psychlgically damaging than it first appears. Aimlessly scrlling (滾屏) thrugh Netflix r TikTk may seem harmless, but ver days, mnths r years, we lse tuch with what we like and enjy.
Taste-making algrithms are inescapable. Chayka shws this by wrking thrugh all crners f life: what we wear(TikTk), where we eat(Ggle Maps), music we listen t(Sptify), even wh we date r marry(Tinder). This universe f algrithm-driven decisins has sciety-wide implicatins: “It extends t influence ur physical spaces, ur cities, and the rutes we mve thrugh…flattening them in turn.” N ne gets ut f the Filterwrld untuched.
If yu’re lucky enugh nt t need any srt f algrithm-based system fr yur wrk, then yu have the ptin t step back frm algrithms fr a while. But if yur friend suggests a film recmmended n X/Twitter r yu feel the need t buy thse shes suddenly everyne has started wearing after scial media advertisements, what are yu t d? It all feels fruitless.
This Filterwrld may be inescapable, but there is hpe. Yu can start by engaging mre with the media yu d chse t cnsume. This culd mean reading up abut a film yu watched r paying artists yu like directly. Even the thughtful act f recmmending an album (專輯) t a friend is mre rewarding than a randm TikTk feed. As Chayka says, resistance t algrithms “requires an act f willpwer, a chice t mve thrugh the wrld in a different way.”
1.What is Kyle Chayka’s pinin n algrithms?
A.They imprve ur tastes.B.They make ur culture mre alike.
C.They help t identify ur persnality.D.They cntribute t psychlgical prblems.
2.What des the underlined part in paragraph 3 refer t?
A.The sciety with advanced technlgy.B.The wrld withut scial media platfrms.
C.The netwrk f algrithm-driven decisins.D.The cmmunity free frm algrithmic influence.

T build a prsperus (繁榮的) sciety, a fundamental understanding f the mdern ecnmy as a driving frce in tday’s wrld is essential.
What kind f prsperity have we achieved s far? The widespread definitin f prsperity fcuses n ecnmic pwer and grwth as measures f success. Let’s take a lk at histry. The Secnd Industrial Revlutin enabled mass prductin and created a sufficient supply f gds. This has greatly increased the imprtance f mney in its rle as “a stre f value, ” and “a medium f exchange. ”As a result, we have pursued ecnmic pwer as the nly indicatr f prsperity, such as GDP. Waves f glbalizatin and technlgical evlutin have prmted verall ecnmic grwth, but have allwed the few wh are strng t achieve greater pwer while expliting the many wh are weak. Cnsequently, inequality has wrsened, and disunity has intensified.
The path t a truly prsperus wrld requires a shift in fcus twards the mst suitable happiness fr all, in additin t ecnmic pwer. Defining happiness, hwever, is a cmplex task. What makes peple happy? The degree t which the same thing creates happiness differs frm persn t persn. Happiness is subjective and cmplicated. This is a wrld f “multiple values” where each f us determines wrth as ppsed t “ne fixed price” based merely n an ecnmic perspective. Individuals shuldn’t be defined by a single identity r rle but by multidimensinal nature as well as multiple rles making independent chices and taking actins fr their happiness in different aspects.
Businesses must be pineers in pursuing nt nly ecnmic grwth but als the happiness f all citizens f sciety. Cmpanies can cntribute thrugh the pursuit f scial value as well as ecnmic prfit. At the heart f this lies “purpse”. A cmpany’s purpse defines the value it brings t sciety. The true wrth f a cmpany shuld be determined nt just by the return s it creates fr sharehlders but by the value it creates fr sciety as a whle.
5.What is the authr’s attitude t the widely accepted standard f prsperity?

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一個繁榮的世界應(yīng)該用多種價值觀來衡量,企業(yè)不僅要成為追求經(jīng)濟增長的先鋒,還要成為追求全體社會公民幸福的先鋒。
5.推理判斷題。由文章第二段中“The widespread definitin f prsperity fcuses n ecnmic pwer and grwth as measures f success. Let’s take a lk at histry. The Secnd Industrial Revlutin enabled mass prductin and created a sufficient supply f gds.

Cnsequently, inequality has wrsened, and disunity has intensified. (對繁榮的普遍定義側(cè)重于將經(jīng)濟實力和增長作為成功的衡量標準。讓我們來看看歷史。第二次工業(yè)革命使大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)成為可能,并創(chuàng)造了充足的商品供應(yīng)。這大大增加了貨幣作為“價值儲存手段”和“交換媒介”的重要性。因此,我們把經(jīng)濟實力作為衡量繁榮的唯一指標,比如GDP。全球化和技術(shù)發(fā)展的浪潮促進了整體經(jīng)濟增長,但也讓少數(shù)強者獲得了更大的權(quán)力,同時剝削了大多數(shù)弱者。結(jié)果,不平等加劇,不團結(jié)加劇。)”可知,作者對普遍接受的繁榮標準持批判性態(tài)度。故選B。
6.推理判斷題。由文章第二段中“Waves f glbalizatin and technlgical evlutin have prmted verall ecnmic grwth, but have allwed the few wh are strng t achieve greater pwer while expliting the many wh are weak. Cnsequently, inequality has wrsened, and disunity has intensified.

7.細節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段“The path t a truly prsperus wrld requires a shift in fcus twards the mst suitable happiness fr all, in additin t ecnmic pwer. Defining happiness, hwever, is a cmplex task. What makes peple happy? The degree t which the same thing creates happiness differs frm persn t persn. Happiness is subjective and cmplicated.

(通往真正繁榮世界的道路,除了經(jīng)濟實力之外,還需要把重點轉(zhuǎn)向最適合所有人的幸福。然而,定義幸福是一項復(fù)雜的任務(wù)。什么能讓人快樂?同一件事給人帶來快樂的程度因人而異。幸福是主觀的、復(fù)雜的。這是一個“多重價值”的世界,我們每個人都決定價值,而不是僅僅基于經(jīng)濟觀點的“一個固定價格”。個體不應(yīng)該被定義為單一的身份或角色,而應(yīng)該被定義為多維的本質(zhì)和多重的角色,在不同的方面為自己的幸福做出獨立的選擇和行動。)”可知,一個繁榮的世界應(yīng)該用多種價值觀來衡量。故選D。
8.推理判斷題。由文章最后一段“Businesses must be pineers in pursuing nt nly ecnmic grwth but als the happiness f all citizens f sciety. Cmpanies can cntribute thrugh the pursuit f scial value as well as ecnmic prfit. At the heart f this lies “purpse”. A cmpany’s purpse defines the value it brings t sciety.

When instant cake mixes first appeared in the 1950s, American husewives were dubtful. These mixes, prmising easy cake-baking, felt t easy. The manufacturers discvered that requiring the additin f an egg in the baking prcess was just enugh t make the husewives happy with their wrk. The greater sense f effrt gained frm a little extra labr is believed t have been essential t the later success f the cake mix.
This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效應(yīng)), which is identified by psychlgist Michael I. Nrtn and his clleagues, suggesting we place greater value n things we have wrked t create. They cnducted fur studies in which they asked participants t fld paper cranes and frgs, assemble IKEA bxes, and build sets f Legs. They then asked the builders t bid (出價) fr their creatins, and cmpared the prices with bids frm peple wh hadn’t built them. The builders cnsistently utbid the nn-builders.
Interestingly, the IKEA effect wrks even when peple have n pprtunity t fully persnalize their creatins. While mst participants’ flding skills left much t be desired, they lved their imperfectly persnalized prducts all the mre. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creatins nearly five times as much as nn-builders. Beauty, it seems, is in the eye f the builder.
Tday, as cities are suffering frm severe husing crises, the IKEA effect can give us insight int the well-being benefits f a self-building apprach t husing develpment. Prjects like WikiHuse and the “half-a-huse” apprach pineered by Alejandr Aravena’s architecture cmpany Elemental are wrking t make husing mre affrdable and sustainable by making it easier fr peple t build and persnalize their wn hmes.
“The mment peple are invlved with their built envirnment, they have a ttally different relatinship t it,” WikiHuse c-funder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the rf starts leaking r a dr starts creaking, they have the pwer t fix it themselves.”
9.What brught custmers the jy f cake-baking accrding t paragraph 1?
A.A better taste.B.An easy apprach.
C.A detailed recipe.D.An additinal effrt.
10.What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply?
A.Creatins are based n skills.B.Extra labr increases perceived value.
C.Beauty is fund thrugh cntrast.D.Strict management brings gd quality.
11.What is Alastair Parvin’s attitude twards public invlvement in husing?
A.Critical.B.Objective.C.Dubtful.D.Supprtive.
12.What’s the purpse f this text?
A.T prmte a brand.B.T make a prpsal.
C.T explain a cncept.D.T intrduce a study.
【答案】9.D 10.B 11.D 12.C
【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。本文通過討論宜家效應(yīng)以及幾個實驗研究的結(jié)果,論述了人們更加珍視自己親手創(chuàng)造的東西,并由此引發(fā)了對自我建造住房的好處的思考。
9.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“The manufacturers discvered that requiring the additin f an egg in the baking prcess was just enugh t make the husewives happy with their wrk. The greater sense f effrt gained frm a little extra labr is believed t have been essential t the later success f the cake mix.(制造商發(fā)現(xiàn),在烘焙過程中加入一個雞蛋就足以讓主婦們對自己的工作感到滿意。從一點點額外的勞動中獲得的更大的努力感被認為是蛋糕粉后來成功的關(guān)鍵)”可知,額外的努力給顧客帶來了蛋糕烘焙的樂趣。故選D項。
10.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)前文“Interestingly, the IKEA effect wrks even when peple have n pprtunity t fully persnalize their creatins. While mst participants’ flding skills left much t be desired, they lved their imperfectly persnalized prducts all the mre. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creatins nearly five times as much as nn-builders.(有趣的是,即使人們沒有機會完全個性化他們的作品,宜家效應(yīng)也會起作用。雖然大多數(shù)參與者的折疊技巧還有很多不足之處,但他們更喜歡自己不完美的個性化產(chǎn)品。建筑商對他們皺巴巴的像起重機一樣的創(chuàng)造物的估價幾乎是非建筑商的五倍)”可知,本段主要講述額外的勞動會讓參與者更喜歡自己的作品,所以Beauty, it seems, is in the eye f the builder.意為“額外的勞動增加了感知價值”。故選B項。
11.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段““The mment peple are invlved with their built envirnment, they have a ttally different relatinship t it,” WikiHuse c-funder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the rf starts leaking r a dr starts creaking, they have the pwer t fix it themselves.”(WikiHuse的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人Alastair Parvin解釋說:“當人們參與到他們的建筑環(huán)境中時,他們與環(huán)境的關(guān)系就完全不同了?!薄爱斘蓓旈_始漏水或門開始吱吱作響時,他們有能力自己修理?!?”可知,Alastair Parvin認為公眾參與住房建設(shè),他們與環(huán)境的關(guān)系就完全不同了,所以是持支持的態(tài)度。故選D項。
12.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效應(yīng)), which is identified by psychlgist Michael I. Nrtn and his clleagues, suggesting we place greater value n things we have wrked t create.

Nrtn)及其同事發(fā)現(xiàn)的宜家效應(yīng)(IKEA effect),即我們更看重自己努力創(chuàng)造的東西。他們進行了四項研究,要求參與者折疊紙鶴和青蛙,組裝宜家盒子,搭建樂高積木。然后,他們要求建筑商為他們的作品出價,并將價格與沒有建造這些作品的人的出價進行比較。建筑商的出價始終高于非建筑商)”以及縱觀全文可知,本文主要解釋什么是宜家效應(yīng)(IKEA effect),所以本文的目的是解釋一個概念。故選C項。

US Army veteran (退伍老兵) Mazyck remembers when dctrs tld her she wuld never walk again. She’d been paralyzed frm the waist dwn after a serius accident while parachuting in 2003.The dctrs never said anything abut flating, thugh. In 2021,she gt t d just that.
Mazyck was ne f 12 participants in a Zer G flight, rganized by the grup AstrAccess. This type f flight recreates the weightlessness that astrnauts experience withut ging all the way t space. Flying ver the Pacific Ocean ff Suthern Califrnia, the mdified 747 jet airplane made 15 steep dives and climbs, allwing the flyers multiple perids f weightlessness.
The experience left Mazyck feeling jyful. “The flight was smething that I wuld have never in my wildest dreams thught I wuld’ve experienced,” she says, “especially the flating, the weightlessness.”
Traditinally, strict physical requirements have prevented disabled peple frm becming astrnauts. AstrAccess is wrking t make space accessible t all. “Space remves the barriers between peple; nw is the time t remve the barriers t space itself,” says Mazyck, “It is sending a message t peple wh have histrically been excluded frm STEM that nt nly is there rm fr yu in space, there is a need fr yu.”
During the flight, she says, the participants did experiments and made bservatins. They tk nte f things that peple withut certain disabilities might nt realize are issues. Fr example, peple wh culdn’t grip with their legs needed anther way t hld themselves still while weightless. The grup als experimented with signaling lights fr the deaf and with ways f using braille (盲文) fr the blind.
These types f issues are easy enugh t address. Nw is the time t make space accessible — befre space turism r space settlements becme cmmnplace. “I am s prud and elated abut what’s happening here,” Mazyck adds. “We are paving the way fr the future.”
13.What d we knw abut AstrAccess?
A.It redesigns jet airplanes.B.It ffers weightlessness experience.
C.It prvides physical treatment.D.It trains the disabled t be astrnauts.

In 2080, the purpse f educatin is the well-being f sciety and all its members. T make this a bit mre tangible fr yu, I wuld like t give an example f what a child’s educatin lks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is cnfident and lves learning.
Shemsy des nt g t schl in the mrning because schls as yu knw them n lnger exist. The institutin was ablished as it was widely thught f as mre like a prisn r a factry than a creative learning envirnment. Schls have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are nt restricted t certain ages. They are where intergeneratinal learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelng pursuit.
Every year, Shemsy designs her learning jurney fr the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her educatin and has t prpse prjects she wuld like t be invlved in t cntribute t and serve her cmmunity.

Access t educatin is universal, and higher educatin institutins n lnger differentiate themselves by hw many peple they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as yung peple teach ne anther and use their differences as a surce f strength. Shemsy naturally explres what she is curius abut at a pace she sets. She still has sme classes t take that are mandatry fr children glbally: Being Human and the Histry f Humanity.

The maker f ChatGPT recently annunced its next mve int generative artificial intelligence. San Francisc-based OpenAI’s new text-t-vide generatr, called Sra, is a tl that instantly makes shrt vides based n written cmmands, called prmpts.
Sra is nt the first f its kind. Ggle, Meta and Runway ML are amng the ther cmpanies t have develped similar technlgy. But the high quality f vides displayed by OpenAI — sme released after CEO Sam Altman asked scial media users t send in ideas fr written prmpts-surprised bservers.
A phtgrapher frm New Hampshire psted ne suggestin, r prmpt, n X. The prmpt gave details abut a kind f fd t be cked, gncchi (意大利團子), as well as the setting — an ld Italian cuntry kitchen. The prmpt said: “An instructinal cking sessin fr hmemade gncchi, hsted by a grandmther — a scial media influencer, set in a rustic (土氣的) Tuscan cuntry kitchen.” Altman answered a shrt time later with a realistic vide that shwed what the prmpt described.
The tl is nt yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited infrmatin abut hw it was built. The cmpany als has nt stated what imagery and vide surces were used t train Sra. At the same time, the vide results led t fears abut the pssible ethical and scietal effects.
The New Yrk Times and sme writers have taken legal actins against OpenAI fr its use f ed wrks f writing t train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee t The Assciated Press, the surce f this reprt, t license its text news archive (檔案) . OpenAI said in a blg pst that it is cmmunicating with artists, plicymakers and thers befre releasing the new tl t the public.
The cmpany added that it is wrking with “red teamers” — peple wh try t find prblems and give helpful suggestins — t develp Sra. “We are wrking with red teamers-express in areas like misinfrmatin, hateful cntent, and bias — wh will be adversarially testing the mdel,” the cmpany said. “We’re als building tls t help detect misleading cntent such as a detectin classifier that can tell when a vide was generated by Sra.”
21.What makes Sra impressive?
A.Its extrardinary vide quality.B.Its ethical and scietal influence.
C.Its artificial intelligence histry.D.Its written cmmands and prmpts.
22.What can we infer frm the text?

Bnbs ften frm friendly relatinships with ther bnb s in separate scial grups — the first time this has been seen in nn-human primates (靈長類). This is in line with humans, but in cntrast t chimpanzees, anther primate, which frequently kill chimps in ther grups. The findings challenge the idea that humans evlved (進化) frm vilent apes, says Surbeck at Harvard University. “This ptential t frm cperative links between different grups is nt uniquely human and it might have ccurred earlier than we thught,” he says.
Many animals cperate, but they seem t d s nly with thse within their scial circle, r in-grup. Hstile (敵對的 ) interactins between grups are cmmn amng animals, including chimpanzees, s scientists have ften assumed that hstility twards ther scial grups in humans is natural, says Samuni, als at Harvard. Hwever, humans als ften cperate with peple in different scial circles, fr example, by trading r teaching.
Bnbs are ne f ur clsest living relatives. They are less studied than chimpanzees, but are knwn t be mre peaceful, says Surbeck. T learn mre abut interactins between grups, Surbeck and Samuni bserved 31 adult bnb s frm tw scial grups in Cng ver a tw-year perid. The pair dcumented 95 encunters between the grups, which represented abut 20% f their ttal bservatin time. Unlike chimpanzees bserved in previus studies, they shwed cperatin with ut-grup members. In fact,10% f all mutual grming (梳毛) and 6% f all fd sharing ccurred amng members f different scial grups.
While bnb s that grmed thers usually gt an immediate benefit, fd sharing rarely resulted in a gift in return. This suggests that their actins were “nt just mtivated by selfish interests r immediate rewards”, Surbeck and Samuni reprt.
Otten, a researcher frm the Netherlands, finds the study “exciting”, especially as it “challenges the idea f human exceptinalism” with regard t ut-grup cperatin. Otten says the bnb s that were mst cperative within their grups were the same nes that cperated mre with ut-grup members. This agrees with findings frm humans. “Schlars used t believe that in-grup ‘lve’ ges tgether with ut-grup ‘hate’, but recent research suggests that ften in-grup cperatrs are als ut-grup cperatrs,” he says.
25.What is the fcus f the study n bnbs?
A.Their scial behavir.B.Their survival skills.
C.Their evlutinary prcess.D.Their intelligence level.
26.What can be learnt abut the bnbs?
A.They are humans’ clsest relatives.B.They can be taught t cperate.
C.They interact friendly beynd grups.D.They share fd fr immediate rewards.
27.Hw was the study cnducted?
A.By cmparing different primates.B.By bserving bnbs’ interactins.
C.By listing grup members’ mtivatins.D.By analysing statistics f previus studies.
28.Hw des Otten find the study?

One f the earliest frms f writing which is still being used tday is Chinese characters, r hanzi. The image that many peple have f Chinese characters is that they are all pictgrams, but this is far frm the case because pictgrams have very limited use. Simple pictgrams might be practical, fr example, if ne is making a shpping list f items t buy at the stre, but they are fairly useless if ne is writing smething mre cmplex r abstract. S it is a mistake t assume that written Chinese is a “picture language”.
Besides pictgrams, there are simple idegrams. These are characters which prvide an abstract picture f an idea, but in an ften easily recgnizable frm. Fr example, “up” is “上” while “dwn” is “下”. While the meanings f many idegrams are nt this easy t wrk ut, they tend t be simple, easy-t-remember characters which are cmmnly used.
Next we have a cmmn categry f hanzi: cmpund characters. These are where elements f tw r mre characters are cmbined in ne character fr a new meaning. Sme f these are easy t understand. In many cases, hwever, the meanings f cmpund characters are mre difficult t wrk ut.
Phnetic lan characters are the characters which started ut as pictgrams. Hwever, they were ften used t mean ther wrds that had the same prnunciatin. A gd example f this is “目”. While it can be used in mdern Chinese with the meaning “eye”, it is mst ften used t mean “an item n a list”. The reasn was that Chinese had a wrd fr “an item n a list” but lacked a character fr it, s the wrd tk the character “目”, a character with the same prnunciatin.
A final categry f Chinese characters is by far the mst cmmn. These are phnetic-semantic characters. With phnetic-semantic characters, ne element f each character gives a clue t the prnunciatin, while the ther gives a clue t the meaning.
Over the centuries, Chinese characters have cntinually been develped, with a trend twards the simple and mre abstract. It was thught that the cmplexity f sme Chinese characters was keeping peple frm being able t learn them. Thus, during the 1950s and 1960s, the Chinese gvernment rlled ut simplified Chinese characters.
29.Why are pictgrams smetimes nt practical fr use in a writing system?
A.They are nly available fr shpping.
B.They are t cmplex fr peple t learn.
C.They cannt cnvey abstract ideas very well.
D.They are quite cmplicated and difficult t write.
30.What d we knw abut cmpund characters accrding t the passage?
A.They are drawings f bjects used in a writing system.
B.They are characters which use elements f tw r mre characters.
C.They are characters used in a writing system t cnvey abstract cncepts.
D.They are characters which give clues t bth the meaning and prnunciatin.
31.Which f the fllwing categries des the character “?!?belng t?
A.Pictgrams.B.Phnetic lan characters.
C.Idegrams.D.Phnetic-semantic characters.
32.What wuld be the benefit f simplifying Chinese characters accrding t the passage?

One f the winners f this year’s Nbel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Mrten Meldal. When describing his career, Meldal said he started ut as an engineer but changed t chemistry because he “wanted t understand the wrld.”
Meldal’s experience may cme as a surprise t students. They might believe they have t center their wrk and schl lives in ne field t be successful. But a study frm prfessrs at Michigan State University shws that is nt always the case.
Michele Rt-Bernstein and Rbert Rt-Bernstein published their study in the Creativity Research Jurnal. They said that a large number f Nbel Prize winners can be described as “plymaths”, r “Renaissance”.
The writers lked at past Nbel Prize winners and their students. They decided that when students f winners g n t win Nbel Prizes, sme f what they learned frm their teachers is hw t live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning hw t be creative.
Having many interests, the Rt-Bernsteins wrte, permits scientists t lk fr creative ways t slve prblems. In fact, ne imprtant part f science is nt discvering answers, but recgnizing prblems that need t be slved.
The prize winners, the Rt-Bernsteins said, transfer “skills, techniques and materials frm ne field t anther.” They said Alexis Carrel wn his Nbel Prize in medicine in 1912 by using techniques he learned frm the clthing business. He realized that peple wh used thread t make and fix clthing had a skill that culd be used in peratins t put new rgans int peple’s bdies.
The Michigan State prfessrs study creativity. They fund Nbel winners are nine times mre likely t have experience in wrking with wd, metal r in the arts than mst scientists. The Michigan State researchers say that unlike many peple wh spend lng hurs at wrk and give up sme f their utside interests, Nbel winners believe their hbbies are imprtant t creativity.

Plastic is everywhere, frm the Arctic ice t vital rgans in the human bdy. In fact, previus estimates suggest that the average persn swallws a credit card-wrth f micrscpic plastic particles(顆粒) every week. But new research shws that this culd actually be an understatement.
Micrplastics are plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, fund in industrial waste, beauty prducts, and frmed during the degradatin f larger plastic pieces. Over time, they break dwn int even smaller nanplastics. These tiny particles can pass thrugh ur intestines and lungs int ur bldstreams, reaching vital rgans like the heart and brain.
While the idea f eating plastic is unsettling in itself, the majr cncern here is that these plastic particles cntain chemicals that can interrupt ur bdy’s natural release f hrmnes, ptentially increasing ur risk f reprductive disrders and certain cancers. They can als carry txins(毒素) n their surface like heavy metals.
In the past, researchers have shwn bttled water can cntain tens f thusands f identifiable plastic fragments in a single cntainer. Hwever, until recently, nly the larger micrplastics were detectable with available measuring tls, leaving the area f nanplastics largely a mystery.
Using Raman micrscpy (顯微鏡學(xué)), capable f detecting particles dwn t the size f a flu virus, the team measured an average f 240, 000 particles f plastic per liter f bttled water, 90 percent f which were nanplastics, a revelatin 10 t 100 times larger than previus estimates.
These plastics likely riginate frm the bttle material, filters used t “purify” the water, and the surce water itself. “It is nt ttally unexpected t find s much f this stuff, ” the study’s lead authr, Clumbia graduate student Naixin Qian, said in a statement. His team hpes t expand their research int tap water and ther water surces t better infrm ur expsure t these ptentially dangerus particles. “The idea is that the smaller things get, the mre f them I reveal, ” he added.
37.What is the primary fcus f the new research?
A.The presence f plastic particles.B.The use f plastic in everyday prducts.
C.The detectin methds fr micrplastics.D.The ptential risks f nanplastics t human.
38.What is the advantage f Raman micrscpy?
A.Finding the surce f plastic particles.B.Helping t cure the deadly flu virus.

They can als carry txins(毒素) n their surface like heavy metals.( 雖然吃塑料的想法本身就令人不安,但主要的擔憂是,這些塑料顆粒含有的化學(xué)物質(zhì)會中斷我們身體自然釋放的激素,可能會增加我們患生殖障礙和某些癌癥的風(fēng)險。它們的表面也會攜帶重金屬等毒素。)” 可知,新研究的焦點是納米塑料對人體可能造成的風(fēng)險。故選D。
38.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Using Raman micrscpy (顯微鏡學(xué)), capable f detecting particles dwn t the size f a flu virus, the team measured an average f 240, 000 particles f plastic per liter f bttled water, 90 percent f which were nanplastics, a revelatin 10 t 100 times larger than previus estimates.(利用拉曼顯微鏡,能夠檢測到流感病毒大小的顆粒,研究小組測量到每升瓶裝水中平均有24萬個塑料顆粒,其中90%是納米塑料,比之前估計的要大10到100倍。)”可知,拉曼顯微鏡學(xué)的優(yōu)勢是能夠檢測到非常小的塑料顆粒。故選C。
39.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“His team hpes t expand their research int tap water and ther water surces t better infrm ur expsure t these ptentially dangerus particles.(他的團隊希望將他們的研究擴展到自來水和其他水源,以更好地了解我們接觸這些潛在危險顆粒的情況。)”可以推斷出,研究小組將研究擴展到自來水等其他水源是為了讓人們意識到在日常生活中面臨的顆粒風(fēng)險。故選B。
40.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Qian的話 “It is nt ttally unexpected t find s much f this stuff(發(fā)現(xiàn)這么多這種東西并不完全出乎意料) ” 及 “The idea is that the smaller things get, the mre f them I reveal(我的想法是,東西越小,我揭示的東西就越多)” 可知他并不對發(fā)現(xiàn)大量微塑料感到完全意外,并且研究對象越小,揭示的就會越多,因此可以推斷出Qian對他的研究持積極態(tài)度。故選D。
