16、that the tiny fragments have also been found in the human body. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller
17、 pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as the impact on human health.Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team, led by Kieran Cox, a Ph. D. candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessin
18、g the number of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugar, salt, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation (吸入) using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the E
19、nvironmental Protection Agencys data on respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via foods and drinks ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jumps
20、to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared with 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. “This shows that small decisions, over the course
21、 of a year, really matter and have an impact.” Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate “the accumulative human exposure to microplastics”. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the foods and drinks that
22、the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grain because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.For those who worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled wat
23、er is a good place to start. But for the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so many plastics.24. What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?A. The quality of microplastics.B. The quantity of microplastics.C. The size of microplastics.D. The
24、shape of microplastics.25. How did Kieran Coxs team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?A. By analyzing existing data.B. By comparing the impact.C. By studying papers.D. By conducting experiments.26. What can we know according to the text?A. The study is among the earliest ones to i
25、nvestigate human exposure to microplastics.B. Drinking less plastic bottle water helps to take in fewer microplastics.C.

The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47 year-old back ached in anticipation（预想）o
28、f the shoveling（铲雪）I would have to do if the snow didnt stop soon.Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldnt help but smile a bit. It was so beautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow on the
29、 road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their way off from school.The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes(雪花)on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angles, running down hi
30、lls and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore.

35、hropologist (人类学家) Edmund Carpenter arrived in New Cuinea armed with mirrors, videos and Polaroid cameras, and a mission: to disrupt (扰乱) the minds of members of the Biami tribe, who had never seen full reflections or images of themselves. After their first astonished response-covering their mouths
36、and ducking their heads-they stood frozen, staring at their images. Carpenters devices disturb that inner image, causing discomfort. But not for long. Within days, the villagers groomed (打扮) themselves openly before mirrors and began taking Polaroid shots of each other.Its unclear if the People of B
37、iami were really as unfamiliar with mirrors as Carpenter thought. But in any case, whats striking isnt how strange their reaction seems, but how related. Do you know how it feels when you make a pleasant remark in a lift, but nobody responds? Or when two people greeting each other misjudge whether t
38、o go for a handshake, a hug or a social kiss? Thats the same awkwardness: self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty, as Dahl defines it. Suddenly, I see Im viewed not as a friendly conversationalist, but as a strange person who talks in the lift.As awkwardness feels unpleasant, its natural to want
39、to overcome it. Dahls initial motivation for writing her book Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness, was to get over her own awkwardness. But after a journey through various awkward experiences, she makes a persuasive case for celebrating it. We live in an era with more opportunities than ever to do
40、 so. But awkwardness breaks that false appearance, exposing the imperfect life behind it. It creates a strange kind of social bond-how much in common we have when seeing that behind the disguise (伪装) -were all just trying our best to seem perfect.The awkward you, then, are the real you, the one with
41、out the defensive performance. Dahl even indicates that taking a friendlier attitude toward awkwardness might help us make the connections with people holding different ideas.32. How did the people of Biami feel when they first saw themselves in the mirror?A. Shocked at their reflections.B. Satisfie
42、d with their images.C. Curious about their look.D. Ashamed of their appearance.33. Which of the following awkwardness is self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty?A. You slip over just to the face of your girl in dream.B. You are caught cheating but get nothing in an exam.C. You are found standing

Not knowing anything novel.B. Seeking perfection.C. Avoiding pressure from others.D. Lacking courage to face some problems.35. What

67、relief.Then, the lion began to show his gratitude by every means in his power. He jumped about like a playful spaniel (西班牙猎犬), wagged his great tail, and licked the hands and feet of his physician. Fromthat moment Androcles became his guest; the lion always shared his prey.The slave continued to liv
