【题目】 A new study shows that air pollution can cause a huge reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.
The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.
The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide （二氧化硫）.
Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person's education level by about one year.
Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.
“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.
He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.
The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.
【1】What is the result of the study?
A.Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.
B.Females are more affected by air pollution than males.
C.Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.
D.People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.
【2】What did Chen say about the study?
A.It is doubtful.
B.It is extremely unfair.
C.It is common and not representative.
D.It is relatively objective and persuasive.
【3】What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?
A.The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.
B.The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.
C.The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.
D.Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.

【题目】 Set your clocks for 4:32 pm(eastern time)on May 27th, 2020. If everything goes as planned, a rocket will launch from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
【1】 So what’s the big deal? The big deal is collection of firsts set to blast off on the 27th of May. The first humans carried aboard a rocket developed by a private company. The first humans aboard a reusable rocket.
Ever since the opening days of the space age, NASA has designed, built, and flown its very own rockets, and capsules. 【2】 The privately-held company Space X will be providing the big rocket boost(加湿器)needed to get NASA’s astronauts to the space, aboard a Falcon 9 rocket topped with a Dragon crew capsule.
【3】 It is trying to make access to space cheaper, chiefly through the use of reusable rockets- once the payload is delivered into orbit, bring the rocket back down the Earth and polish it up for another ride.
In the meantime, NASA has spent the past decade in a highly bureaucratic version of hell. After the sad end of the space shuttle program in 2011, the American space agency was forced to rent seats on Russian made and Russian launched Soyuz rockets to get astronauts up to the International Space Station.
【4】 And now, if everything goes as planned on May 27th, we will make human access to space cheaper, more reliable, and absolutely easier. 【5】 Space tourism? Moon bases? I would say that the sky is limit, but the sky is just the start.
A.But this time, it’s different.
B.Rockets go off all the time from the Earth.
C.This made for great wounded national pride.
D.Most of the astronauts haven’t made it up into space.
E.Space X has spent the past decades working tirelessly.
F.NASA has been developing a new space launch system.
G.It’s impossible to say what kind of revolutions that might lead to.

【题目】 Somewhere between 40,000 and 110,000 tons of plastic waste produced by Americans ends up in the ocean, according to a study published in the journal Science.
It's difficult to point out where all that waste comes from, and researchers think that much or most of it probably comes from the nation's seriously-populated coasts. But there's also evidence that the nation's inland waterways serve as a passage for plastic to travel thousands of miles into the oceans.
While researchers have documented plastic and human trash floating in the world's oceans, there has been relatively little attention paid to plastics in rivers, streams and lakes. "To my knowledge, no one has studied particular routes, with the exception of places like L.A, and Baltimore Harbor where there are measures in place to prevent trash in rivers from entering the ocean." said Kara Lavender Law, an oceanographer.
The few studies that exist, however, suggest that it may be a huge problem. A 2011 study of two southern California urban rivers---including Santa Ana River---found that every square meter of water contained from 125 to 819 pieces larger than 4.75 millimeters. Another survey of the Meuse River, which flows 575 miles through France, Belgium and the Netherlands to the North Sea, found that it contained 70,000 pieces of plastics per square meter of water, about 500 of which were roughly an inch or bigger in size.
If there's anything positive in this, it's you that can do something, at least on a personal level, to reduce the amount of plastic that goes into the oceans. "Put trash where it goes." said Jenna Jambeck, an associate professor of environmental engineering at the University of Georgia. "Use reusable items---bags, cups and bottles---to reduce waste."
Finally, Jambeck urges people to pick up litter along waterways, and record it with a phone app called the Marine Debris Tracker. The data you provide can help scientists to get a better handle on the trash problem.
【1】According to the text, the least polluted place might be __________.
A.Santa Ana RiverB.Meuse River
C.Baltimore HarborD.The North Sea
【2】How does the author prove plastic waste in rivers is a huge problem?
A.By referring to experts' views.B.By listing statistics.
C.By making comparisons.D.By following time order.
【3】What does Jenna Jambeck advise us to do?
A.Make use of plastic items.B.Reduce the size of waste we throw away.
C.Stay positive about the oceans' future.D.Start from small things to deal with waste.
