The problem is that it is damaging the environment. Trash Island lies between Hawaii and Japan, but doesnt mean that the trash only comes from those two places. It can come from Asia, the United States and Canada. About 75% of the trash comes from sources on land, while the other 25% comes from ships at sea. Tons of plastic produced yearly throughout the world ends up in the ocean, forming the Trash Island. Since the plastic has been beaten by the waves, much of it has been broken down into small pieces. Millions of nurdles (塑料颗粒) are spilled into the ocean every year, which make up about 10% of all the plastic pieces in the sea. Nurdles are beansized pieces of plastic. These nurdles floating in the ocean are poisonous. When they break down, chemicals that are not found in nature come into the ocean. These become deadly to ocean life. Thousands of ocean animals die every year because of the trash. Many ocean animals eat pieces of plastic trash and die. Others eat things like small plastic toys. Birds and fish often mistake the brightly colored nurdles for fish eggs.You can help by cutting back on the amount of plastic you use in your home and in your business. Pick up trash when you see it lying around and with it properly. Recycle as much plastic as possible. Help clean up beaches, rivers and streams. 1What do we know about nurdles according to the passage?AThey give off some poisonous gases into the ocean.BThey are plastic products such as plastic toys or bottles.CThey make up about half of the ocean plastic pieces.DThey are harmful to the growth and development of ocean life.2Which of the following is TRUE?

BSociety. CCulture. DEnvironment.答案.A1解析：a考查冠词。hold a certain appeal表示“有一定的吸引力”。2解析：were考查虚拟语气。根据空格线后的“then we could instantly become .”可知，此处是虚拟条件句，主句表示与现在事实相反的假设，所以从句谓语动词用过去式。故填were。3解析：more intelligent考查比较等级。如果这是真的，那么仅仅通过激活沉睡的大部分大脑，我们就会(比以前)聪明十倍。4解析：stimulated考查时态。这里是指19世纪科学家所做的实验，因此用一般过去时。5解析：its考查代词。这里its指代the animals。6解析：called考查动词的被动语态。此处应用called表示“被称作”。7解析：as/when/while考查连词。这句话的意思是“事实上，当我们睡觉的时候，大脑的很多区域都是极度活跃的”。8解析：Interestingly考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，_ enough作状语，因此此处要用副词Interestingly。9解析：given考查非谓语动词。所填词作定语修饰task，由于give与task之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词given。10解析：of考查介词。be capable of doing sth.意为“有能力做某事”。B1解析：on考查介词。在表示具体的日子或一个特定的时间词前用介词on。2解析：a/one考查冠词或数词。此处表示“但我想留出其中的一周”。3解析：reservation考查词性转换。此处需要一个名词作宾语，因此用reserve的名词形式。4解析：need考查动词。由下文中的“Ill be staying with friends.”可知Helen没有必要预订。5解析：to stay考查不定式作定语。此处意为“待的地方”。6解析：will be swimming考查时态。由“in a few days”可知，此处应用将来时；且根据后面的并列结构“and lying. and just taking.”可知，此处应用将来进行时。7解析：taking考查非谓语动词。consider意为“考虑”时，后面需要接动名词作宾语。8解析：should考查情态动词。此处表示我应该考虑这事了。9解析：that考查引导定语从句的关系词。此处关系代词指代前面的things并在定语从句中作宾语，且先行词前有限定词all，故只能用that。10解析：it考查代词。此处it指代and前提到的vacation。.1.解析：选B本空后面的宾语从句不是劝告、建议类的信息，而是在叙述一个客观事实：所罗门群岛很热，因此用tell表示“告诉，告知”。若选A项，则应用主动语态。2解析：选C因为被告知那里很热，所以作者就带了很多夏天穿的衣服。pack表示“打包”，符合语境。3解析：选A本空与后面的for相呼应，因此选left。leave for表示“前往”。4解析：选D既然是坐去机场的班车，那么我们就是去赶飞机的，因此选D项。5解析：选B车上很冷，所以我们和孩子们依偎在一起，这样是为了让他们感到暖和，因此选B项。6解析：选B车上不断有乘客上下车，所以我们也就没有很关注这些人。take notice表示“注意，关注”。7解析：选C太冷了，孩子们睡不着，因此选C，表示“没有真正休息的，没有睡眠的”。8解析：选D这个老太太拿出一条护膝毛毯。hold out表示“拿出，递出”，符合语境。9解析：选B孩子们很冷，此时有人拿给他们毛毯，他们自然是很急切地接了过去，因此选B。10解析：选A这里用介词around“围绕，在周围”描述孩子把毯子披在身上的动作。11解析：选C注意后面的副词off
