    Plastic snow falls from the sky.

        When you think of the Arctic (北冰洋), you may imagine an icy land of white snow. And some 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.

        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 (生态环境) along the way. When we wash clothes with plastic fibers (纤维), 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.

    (1)、According to the passage, the underlined word "microplastics" are pieces of        .
    A、plastic bigger than 5 millimeters B、metal smaller than 5 millimeters C、plastic smaller than 5 millimeters D、plastic smaller than 5 centimeters
    (2)、Most of microplastics in air fall off         .
    A、plastic objects B、the water C、sea animals D、our body
    (3)、Which is the correct order of the following events?

    ① Wastewater flows into rivers and seas.

    ② People eat animals in the sea.

    ③ People wash clothes with plastic fibers.

    ④ Microplastics are eaten by sea animals.

    A、③①④② B、①③②④ C、③①②④ D、③②①④
    (4)、The writer wrote the passage mainly to tell us         .
    A、not to travel to the Arctic B、not to eat animals C、to use fewer plastic objects D、to wear a mask (口罩) when going out
    (5)、Where can the passage probably be taken from?
    A、A story book. B、A doctor's dairy. C、An environmental newspaper. D、A clothes magazine.

        Are robots going to take over the world? This was one of the biggest fears people had about the development of technology. But since then, those fears have been largely replaced by COVID-19. Now, more and more people are beginning to regard robots as a useful solution for social distancing problems.

        Robots have been used for years, even though you might not connect these tasks with robots. ATMs in banks are common examples of everyday robots. There are many companies using robots even before the pandemic (疫情). Robots have also been used for tasks considered dangerous.

        Among COVID-19 conditions, new robots are being tested in many fields. At McDonald's and other fast-food restaurants, robots are being tried as waiters and even cooks. Restaurants are using robots to send their food safely to homes of old people because they're at high risk from COVID-19. Disinfection (消毒) robots have been developed to fight against COVID-19 in Qingdao, Shandong Province. They can replace human beings in carrying on the responsibility of disinfection. These newly developed disinfection robots have been put into operations in the quarantine wards (隔离病房) of some hospitals.

        The arguments against robots include the loss of human jobs and the idea that machines could control our lives. But now that COVID-19 has changed the world, more people will likely be accepting robots. The situation now is showing us how technology can be used to improve the world.

    (1)、What problems do people regard robots as a useful solution?
    A、Taking over the world. B、Social distancing problems. C、Cleaning up the hospitals. D、Taking care of the patients.
    (2)、Where can we find ATMs-the everyday robots?
    A、At home. B、In the library. C、In the bank. D、On the train.
    (3)、Why are restaurants using robots to send their food to homes of elderly people?
    A、Because they don't want to eat in the restaurants. B、Because they don't have enough money. C、Because their children aren't at home. D、Because they're at high risk from COVID-19.
    (4)、In which city were disinfection (消毒) robots developed to fight against COVID-19?
    A、Qingdao. B、Guangzhou. C、Beijing. D、Changchun.
    (5)、What kind of work can robots probably do instead of people?
    A、Interesting work. B、Dangerous work. C、Exciting work. D、Surprising work.
