D.ArcticOceanorPlasticOcean?【答案】28.A29.C30.B31.D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，北极已经被微塑料污染，及这种污染给环境和人类生活带来的影响。【28题详解】细节理解题。由第一段中的“Thinkagain,orratheradd300billionpiecesofplastic(塑料)toyourpicture.That'stheamountofplasticthatscientistsbelieveisfloatingaroundtheArcticOcean.MostoftheplasticisintheareatotheeastofGreenlandandnorthofScandinavia(再想一想，或者更确切地说，在你的照片上加上3000亿块塑料。这是科学家们认为在北冰洋周围漂浮的塑料量。大部分塑料都在格陵兰岛以东和斯堪的纳维亚半岛以北的地区)”可知，北冰洋周围漂浮的塑料量有3000亿块。由此可知，北冰洋污染严重。故选A项。【29题详解】细节理解题。由第二段中的“ItturnsoutthatoceancurrentsarecarryingplasticthrownintotheoceanallthewaytotheArctic.(原来，洋流携带着塑料被扔进海洋，一直到北极)”和第四段中的“Plastichasbeenwidelyusedfor60yearsonEarthandourcarelessthrowingofplasticthingsisslowlyturningtheonceperfectlycleanArcticintoadangerousplace.Unlikefoodwasteandplantwaste,plasticdoesn'tbreakdownsoeasily.(塑料在地球上已经广泛使用了60年，我们不小心扔塑料制品正在慢慢地把曾经非常干净的北极变成一个危险的地。与食物垃圾和植物垃圾不同，塑料不容易分解)”可知，人类随意丢弃塑料制品、洋流把塑料东西带到各处和塑料很难分解是导致塑料海洋的原因，C项“塑料会把有害物质排放到水中”是塑料制品给海洋带来的影响，不是导致塑料海洋的原因。故选C项。【30题详解】词义猜测题。由最后一段中的“Seabirds,seaturtlesandotheroceancreaturescouldgethurtanddiewhentheyaccidentallyswallowplastic.(海鸟、海龟和其他海洋生物在不小心swallow塑料时可能受伤并死亡)”可知，只有当海洋生物“吞下”塑料时才可能受伤并死亡。由此推知，划线词swallow在此处意为“takein(摄入、吸收)”。故选B项。【31题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段“WhenyouthinkoftheicyArcticOcean,doyoupicturecoldbluewaters,onwhichfloat(漂浮)icebergshometoanimalsandfishnotseenelsewhereontheplanet?Thinkagain,orratheradd300billionpiecesofplastic(塑料)toyourpicture.That'stheamountofplasticthatscientistsbelieveisfloatingaroundtheArcticOcean.MostoftheplasticisintheareatotheeastofGreenlandandnorthofScandinavia(当你想到冰冷的北冰洋时，你是否想到了冰冷的蓝色海水，在那里漂浮着的冰山是地球上其他地方看不到的动物和鱼类的家园？再想一想，或者更确切地说，在你的照片上加上3000亿块塑料。这是科学家们认为在北冰洋周围漂浮的塑料量。大部分塑料都在格陵兰岛以东和斯堪的纳维亚半岛以北的地区)”可知，第一段提到北冰洋以及其被塑料制品严重污染的现状，随后文章对污染的成凶以及带来的影响进行了叙述。由此可知，D项“北冰洋还是塑料海洋？”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。DAnancienttombwasrecentlydiscoveredinsouthernSiberiainwhichtheremaybetreasure,pricelessobjects,andthe3,000yearoldremainsofanicemummy.SwissscientistGinoCaspariwiththeUniversityofBernwaslookingcarefullyatthepicturesoftheareaintheRussianTuvaRepublic,whenhecameacrosswhatappearedtobeatomb.ItisatomboftheScythians,anancientgroupofEurasians.Thissummer,togetherwithresearchersfromtheRussianAcademyofSciencesandtheHermitageMuseum,adigatthesitenotonlyprovedCaspari'sidea,buttoldusthesiteisthelargestandoldestofitskindeverdiscoveredinwhat'sincreasinglyknownasthe“SiberianValleyoftheKings.”WhileanydiscoverydatingbacktoaperiodbetweentheIronAgeandBronzeAgeisexciting,it'sthenatureofthissitethatmakesscientistswanttobegincarefullyclearingawaythelayersofrockandearth.First,thetombappearstohaveneverbeendug,becauseitisinaSiberianwetlandfarawayfromthenearestplacewherepeoplelive.Second,andmostimportant,isitspossiblerestingplaceunderathicklayerofpermafrost.“There'spermafrostinthearea,”Casparisaid.“Therearereallyonlyahandfulofpermafrosttombsandveryfewthathavenotbeendamaged,wheretherehavebeenicemummiesingoodcondition,andallthethingsinthetombareuntouched.”Whilenotaslarge,othertombsdiscoveredintheareahaveproducedfantasticaltreasuresandobjects,includingthousandsofgoldobjectsandotherthingsaboutthepast.Bystudyingallthesetombs,researchershopetohaveabetterunderstandingoftheScythianpeople.Casparisaidhisteamisinaraceagainsttimetouncoverthetombandfindoutitssecrets.“Wenowhavetoactfast,”hesaid,“becausewiththerisingtemperatures,thepermafrostcouldmeltanddamageallthethingsinthattomb.Andthesearethingsthatareover3,000yearsold,thatlooklikenew,liketheywereputthereyesterday.”32.HowdidCasparidiscoverthetomb?A.Bystudyingpictures.
