The quality of our seafood has been in the news a lot lately. A new study has found that people who eat seafood are also eating plastic— 11,000 pieces of microplastic per year to be exact. Researchers at the University of Ghent in Belgium found that seafood eaters are consuming plastic at a concerning rate. “You get 300 pieces of plastic inside your body per serving of mussels(貽貝) , which contains about 300 grams of musel meat,” researchers wrote. They don’t yet know the potential effect of eating microplastic, but they worry that it could have negative consequences on our health. While we don’t know what m icroplastic does yet to humans, we do know what it does to sea animals. In earlier studies, scientists have found that when fish eat microplastics, their feeding patterns change. In fact, fish will stop eating natural sources of nutrients, and only go for plastic, which prevents their growth. When you’re done using plastic, a small part may be recycled. However, more than likely, it’s in a landfill or making its way towards the ocean. Once rubbish hits the water, sea creatures may mistake it for food. This often leads to poisoning or death. If they get caught for human’s food, the plastic will probably make its way back to you— on your dinner plate. According to a study published in Science,8,000,000 tons of plastic go into our waterways every year. The problem is so serious that scientists say that by 2050 the weight of plastic in our oceans will outweigh fish. And just because it’s out of sight, it doesn’t mean it should be out of mind. There’s no immediate way to prevent microplastic from ending up in your body. However, you can help reduce the amount of plastic reaching rivers, lakes and oceans in the first place. You can make a difference with your choices every day. Even small changes will add up. While your dinner may contain microplastic, you can help prevent the future generations from having that same problem. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 浙江省金華十校 20172018學(xué)年高二下學(xué)期期末調(diào)研考試 英語試題答案 第一部分:聽力測試(共兩節(jié), 20小題;每小題 ,滿分 30分) 120 CBACB ACBCA ABBCA CABAC 第二部分 閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分 35 分) 第一節(jié) (共 10小題;每小題 ,滿分 25分 ) 2123 BCD 2426 BDA 2730 CACD 第二節(jié) (共 5小題;每小題 2分,滿分 10分 ) 3135 CGBFD 第三部分 英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用(共兩節(jié),滿分 45分) 第一節(jié) 完形填空 (共 20小題;每小題 ,滿分 30 分 ) 3640 BCABD 4145 ABCAD 4650 CBADD 5155 CDBAC 第二節(jié) (共 10小題;每小題 ,滿分 15分 ) 56. were waiting 58. how 60. was pressed/had been pressed 61. pulled 62. the 63. where 64.

Microplastic in sea fish es from our daily life and might returns to our meals(要點(diǎn) 4) .
