Today, our little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was preparing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:

When thinking of the Arctic（北冰洋）, some people may imagine an icy land of white snow. And other people may imagine it as the last really clean place left on Earth. In fact, we have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish, and now, CNN says, “It’s the Arctic’s turn.”
German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter（升）of snow. That may cause terrible air pollution.
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to scientists, “It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air. They fall off plastic objects and are moved by the wind. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow.”
Are they bad for us? We do know that our bodies cannot take in “large” pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What’s more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, damaging ecosystems along the way. When we wash clothes with plastic fibers, they start in our wastewater. The wastewater then flows into rivers and out to sea. They are eaten by sea animals there. If people then eat these animals, it means that we’re eating the plastic as well.
26．What can we learn from what CNN says in paragraph 1?
A．Arctic is still a beautiful icy land with clean air.
B．Arctic is the last clean place left to the earth.
C．Arctic has already been polluted by plastic.
D．Arctic is always a pure land with white snow.
27．Which picture shows the right way of the travel of microplastics?
①microplastics ②snow ③human body ④air
⑤sea animals ⑥seas ⑦wastewater ⑧Arctic
A． B．
C． D．
28．What’s the meaning of the underlined word contribute?
A．Donate. B．Cause. C．Provide. D．Separate.
29．Why do the author write this passage?
A．To tell readers not to eat sea animals.
B．To tell readers not to travel to Arctic.
C．To tell readers to use less plastic products.
D．To tell readers to wear masks when it snows.
30．Which is the best title for this article?
A．Microplastics in Arctic
B．Microplastics Are Hurting Ecosystems
C．Microplastics And Lung Cancer
D．Microplastics Fall with Snow

五、读写综合
A．回答问题
请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题，要求所写答案语法正确，语义完整，并把答案写在答题卡指定的位置。
When you’re struggling to finish a task at work, throwing on some Bach or Beethoven may worth a try. That’s the main conclusion of an experiment on several British workers that found listening to classical music at work can improve productivity by 15%.
An initial(初步的) survey of 2, 000 UK employees said that half of them listen to music on the job. Some of those employees’ bosses reportedly encouraged the practice, but others were strictly against it, believing it might hurt work performance. So, British classical music station Scala Radio and psychologist Dr. Becky Spelman decided on the experiment to find out if background music hurts or lower work efficiency.
Four office workers were asked to transcribe(抄写) two 600-word sets of song lyrics. The first set was transcribed with no music playing, while the other was completed with classical music playing in the background. The first task, completed in silence, was completed in an average time of 20 minutes and 59 seconds. However, the second transcription exercise that involved music was completed in an average time of 17 minutes and 42 seconds. There is a difference of 15% between them.
“Music has very powerful influence on the brain. It affects mood, mental performance and physical performance,” says Dr. Spelman. “When provided with music, we can have a calm, regular beat, it can actually help us to stay calm, reducing our stress, slowing our heart rate, which makes it easier for us to focus on the task at hand.”

48．How was the first set of song lyrics transcribed？
