B．Flavour.C．Weight. D．Pollution.D[细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Theyendupinwaterways，harmseaanimals，andbreakdownintomicroplastics.Quantitiesofplaceshavepassedplastic­strawbansasawaytostarthandlingtheglobalplasticwasteproblem.”可知，它们最终进入水道，危害海洋动物，并分解成塑料微粒。许多地方已经对塑料吸管发布了禁令，以此作为开始处理全球塑料垃圾问题的一种方式。因此塑料吸管的主要问题是它们会带来污染。故选D。]2．Whichofthefollowingbelongtosingle­usestraws?A．Metalstraws. B．Paperstraws.C．Glassstraws. D．Bamboostraws.B[细节理解题。根据Paper部分中的“They'rethemostpopularthrowawaychoiceinplaceswithplastic­strawbans.”可知，在禁止使用塑料吸管的地方，它们是最受欢迎的一次性吸管，即纸吸管属于一次性吸管，题干中的single­use与文中的throwaway是同义表达。故选B。]3．Whatistheadvantageofthebamboostraw?A．Itcanbecomefertilizer.B．Itiseasytoclean.C．Itisportableandbendable.D．Ithasdifferentdesigns.A[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Bamboostrawsareeasilydisposedofandturnedintofertilizer.”可知，竹吸管很容易被处理成为肥料。因此，竹制吸管的优势在于它们可以变成肥料。故选A。]BOliviaRieswasjustsevenyearsoldwhensheandhereight­year­oldbrotherCarteradoptedacheetah(猎豹)inSouthAfrica.“WhenmysisterandIfirstlearnedbackin2009thatspecieslikethecheetahmaybeextinctinthewildbythetimewehavekids，itscaredus.Weknewwehadtodosomethingtohelpthem，”saysCarter.“Therearesomanypeople(youngandoldalike)whojustdon'tknowwhatishappeningtosomanyspecies，justlikewedidn't.OliviaandIwanttomakesurewereachasmanypeoplearoundtheworldaspossibleandhelpthemtounderstandhowseriousthesituationreallyis.”Todothat，thekidsstartedOneMoreGeneration(OMG)，anorganizationwiththemotto：“Preservingendangeredspeciesforonemoregenerationandbeyond.”Now，tenyearslater，OliviaandCarterhavetravelledallovertheworldspreadingtheirmessage.They'vebeeninterviewedonnationaltelevision，participatedinmarchesandfund­raisersandwonawardsfortheirwork.In2015，theywereinvitedtoVietnambytheUnitedStatesEmbassytoparticipateinaprogrammetosaverhinos.Allthatthey'veaccomplishedforanimalsandtheenvironmentismuchtoolongtolist!“Ournumberonemessagetoeveryonewemeetis‘Remember，anyonecanmakeadifference；ifwecan，youcantoo，’”saysOlivia.“WewantallpeopletounderstandthatwhatCarterandIaredoingisnotnecessarilysomethingspecial；itissomethingthatweallshouldbedoing.Youcanstartsmallbysimplyadoptingananimal.Dosomeresearchonthespeciesyouareinterestedin，andfindagoodorganizationofferingadoptions.MybrotherandItakeourbirthdaymoneyandallowancemoneyandadoptanimalsallthetime.”【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了兄妹俩在了解到猎豹可能会灭绝后，通过自己的方式成立组织来号召人们关心濒危动物，鼓励人们从小事做起，来帮助濒危动物。4．HowdidOliviaandCarterfeelwhenlearningcheetahsfacedextinction?A．Angryandguilty.B．Shockedandconcerned.C．Anxiousandhelpless.D．Hopefulanddetermined.B[细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知，当Olivia和Carter知道猎豹可能会灭绝时他们很震惊，也很担心，想要尽自己的力量来帮助它们。shockedandconcerned(震惊和担心)符合以上说法，故选B。]5．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“that”refertoinParagraph3?A．Helpingendangeredspeciessurvive.B．Tellingpeoplethesituationcheetahsface.C．Makingthesituationofdyingspeciesknown.D．Callingonpeopletoadoptendangeredspecies.C[代词指代。根据第二和第三段可知，Olivia和她的哥哥想让世界上尽可能多的人知道濒危动物现在的处境相当糟糕。为了做到这一点，这两个孩子成立了一个名叫OneMoreGeneration的组织。结合句意可知，画线词是指代上文提到的“让世界上尽可能多的人明白濒危动物现在的处境相当糟糕”。故选C。]6．WhatdoesParagraph4mainlytellaboutOliviaandCarter?A．Theyorganizedactivitiestoraisemoney.B．Theytookmeasurestosaverhinos.C．Theymadeeffortstolistextinctspecies.D．Theycontributedalottodyingspecies.D[细节理解题。根据第四段的主要内容，尤其是“Allthatthey'veaccomplishedforanimalsandtheenvironmentismuchtoolongtolist！”可知，本段主要讲述了Olivia和Carter为濒危动物和环境做了很多事情。故选D。]7．WhatdoOlivia'swordssuggest?A．Anyonecanhelpbystartingsmall.B．Anyonecandosomethingspecial.C．Anyoneshoulddoresearchonspecies.D．Anyoneshoulddonatetoadoptionorganizations.A[推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是“Youcanstartsmallbysimplyadoptingananimal.”可推测，Olivia的话表明了任何人都可以从小事做起来帮助濒危动物。故选A。]COveramillionchildrenhavedevelopedsomeformofintellectualdisabilityoverthepasttwodecadesafterbeingexposedtochemicalsincludingflameretardants，pesticides，lead，andmercury，astudyhasrevealed.Thestudyfocusedonthefourchemicals，whichcanbecrossedfromamothertoherunbornbabythroughtheplacenta(胎盘)andcauseneuro­developmentaldamage.Theresearcherslookedatdatafrompaststudies，includingbloodsamplestakenfromwomenofchildbearingageand5­year­olds.Overtheperiod，flameretardants，resultedin738，860casesofintellectualdisabilityandanestimated162millionlostIQpoints，followedbyleadat330，684cases，pesticidesat111，830，andmercuryat8，860.Inrecentyears，pesticidesandflameretardantshaveovertakenleadandmercuryasthechemicalsresponsibleforthebiggestlossofIQamongchildren.Theresearchersbelievethisisduetoregulationscuttingdowntheuseofthesechemicals.Forinstance，leadhasbeenbannedfromgasoline，paintanddrinkingwatersystemsintheUSandplantsarenotallowedtopumpoutmercury.Theresearchersacknowledgedlimitationstotheirstudy，includingthattheexposure­responserelationshipsmightnotrelatetoallpopulations.Positively，theyfoundahugedropintheestimatedlossofIQpointsamongchildren.LeadresearcherAbigailGaylord，commented：“Ourfindingssuggestthatoureffortstoreduceexposuretoheavymetalsarepayingoff，butthatharmfulexposureingeneralcontinuestorepresentaterriblerisktopeople'sphysical，mental，andeconomichealth.Unfortunately，theminimalpoliciesinplacetoremovepesticidesandflameretardantsareclearlynotenough，”shesaid.Shealsoadded，“Frequentlyopeningwindowstoletpersistentchemicalsfoundinfurnitureelectronics，andcarpetingescape，andeatingcertifiedorganicproducecanreduceexposuretotheseharmfulthings.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了有研究发现接触有害化学物质会导致儿童的智商下降。8．Whichcontributesmosttothelossofchildren'sIQ?A．Flameretardants.
