2015年英語四級考試閱讀試題精選

Arctic Ocean ice may hold trillions of small pieces of plastic and other synthetic trash,and they are being released into the world’s oceans as global warming melts the polar cap,researchers say,Though the finding is surprising and worrying,the possible harm to marine life is so far unknown,the authors ed micro plastics,the pollutants come mostly from debris that has broken apart,as well as from cosmetics and fibers released from washing clothes,according to the Study,which was published in the iournA. Earth’s Future and first reported by Science magazine.

At current melting than l trillion pieces 5 millimeters or smaller could wind up in the oceans during the coming authors concentration of plastic debris is 1,000 times greater than that floating in the ed Great Pacific Garbage researchers based their findings on core samples of ice taken during polar expeditions in 2005 and 2010.

Rayon was the most colninon synthetic material discovered—54%gh rayon is not a plastic(it’s made from wood),the authors included it“because it is a manmade hetic that makes up a significant proportion of synthetic microparticles found in the marine environment.”Rayon is used in cigarette filters,clothing and personal hygiene ester(聚酯)was the next most common pollutant found in the ice(21%),followed by nylon(16%),polypropylene(聚丙烯)(3%)and polystyrene,acrylic and polyethylene (2%each).

The authors the ice trap“a major historic globA. sink of particulates.”and said their findings“go some way to help clarify one of the most puzzling aspects of current understanding on the quantities of plastic debris reported in the oceans.”As Science points out,288 million tons of plastics were produced in 2012.

Micro plastics garbage has aso been found on the shores of southernmost Chile,so the authors said it’s time to investigate the planet’s other polar region.“WHile multiyear sea ice makes up a smaller proportion of aunual sea ice cover in the Southem perenniA. sea ice cover around Antarctica is following different trends,our finding indicate the importance of sampling ice from the Antarctic to see if it too contains micro plastics,”they write.

  rding to the passage,what are mainly called“micro plastics”?根據文章,哪些東西都被稱為“微塑料”?

pollutants come mostly from debris.主要是一些碎片汙染物。

pollutants come mostly from fibers.主要是一些纖維汙染物。

pollutants come mostly from cosmetics.主要是一些化妝品汙染物。

pollutants come mostly from daily supplies.主要是一些日常用品汙染物。

   does the phrase‘'wind up”mean in Para.27第二段中“wind up”是什麼意思?

n endto結束

wup擰緊

p across席捲

up捲起

   does the author include“rayon”in,though it is not a plastic?為什麼研究人員要把“rayon”也算在內,儘管它並不是塑料?

use it is a significant manmade semi-synthetic found in the ocean.因為它是海洋中發現的重要的人造半合成品。

use it is a major manmade synthetic appearing in the marine.因為它是海洋中出現的主要的人造半合成品。

use it is a minor manmade synthetic dug out in the marine.因為它是海洋中挖掘出來的少數的人造半合成品。

use it is a minor manmade hetic explored in the marine.因為它是海洋中探測出的.少數的人造半合成品。

   Can we infer from the ice trap“a major historic globA. sink of particulates”?從“此次的冰陷是‘具有重大歷史意義的全球性人造微粒造成的陷阱’”這句話中能推斷出什麼?

globA. ice trap should be attributed to particulates.此次全球性的冰陷應該歸因於人造微粒。

le onaworldwide scalehave reapedwhattheyhad sown.全球範圍內的人們都已經自食其果。

ice trap is ofmajor historic meaning on the global context.此次冰陷具有重大的歷史意義。

major historic global sink is derived from the ice melting.具有重大歷史意義的全球性冰陷是海冰消融的結果。

  ’s the best title of this passage?哪一個是本文的最佳題目?

A1 Rayon the most comn20n hetic in the ocean.人造纖維是海洋中比例最大的半合成品。

’s time to research the planet’S other polar region.是時候研究地球的其他極地了。

lions ofplastic pieces found in the Arcticice.北冰洋中發現的數萬億的塑料碎片。

lions ofplastic pieces winding up in the oceans.即將席捲整個大洋世界的數萬億塑料碎片。
