center of Eurasiantrade.It had also been a major center of manufacturing which produced handmade goods forEurope andAfrica.However,the industrialization of Europe meant that cheaper goods made by machines soonflooded into the Ottoman Empire.The result of this competition was that Africa was increasinglyseen as a place that provided new materials for European factories,rather than one that hadfactories of its own.4Egypt was an African country that was technically part of the Ottoman Empire.It was firstinvaded by the French army.With British help,the Ottoman forces drove the French out of Egypt.Following this,Muhammad Ali successfully brought about Egyptian independence from theOttoman Empire.By 1831,he was effectively an independent ruler of a more modern Egypt.Egypt was already a smallscale producer of cotton,which was sold to Britain.Ali encouragedeven more cotton production nationwide.With the money from this cotton production,Alisgovernment began to aid factories so that the country could profit from its own industrialization.Bythe late 1840s,it looked like Egypt would eventually become an industrial power.During the following years,Egypts economy stagnated and slowly slid into decline.Thefactories ceased production,and by the 1880s,it had to seek help from Britain financially.ThoughEgypt remained formally independent,it seemed to be more like a British colony.Europeans kept interfering in Egypt partly because of the Suez Canal.Egypts new leaderswere already stressful because of the industrial collapse that left their country unable to repay themoney borrowed from Britain.Finally,in 1875,the king sold his share in the Suez Canal Companyto the British,giving them control of this important national resource.The powerful British tookadvantage of this instability and seized the country.()24.ForAfrica,what was the result of the industrialization of Europe?A.The new factories began to spring up in Africa.B.The prices of the goods became higher in

feeling today?Often when we ask people that question,they reply“not bad”，or“could be worse”.But what would make us feel“perfect”？Maybe we could live better by beinghealthier,less stressed,more motivatedbut how?Of course there are many ways of improving our mental health,but sometimes there are smalland simple solutions to helping improve our wellbeing.Its something the TV programme EasyWays to Live Well has been looking at.It suggested several“health hacks”which the programmespresenters tried and gave their“seal of approval”.And maybe they could help us too.Firstly,to deal with putting on weight and to cut the calories,the programme found sniffing(嗅)5peppermint(薄 荷)stopsourlongingforasnack.Presenter,chefandwriterHughFearnleyWhittingstall says“a scientific theory called mutual competition shows that a strongsmell can distract our brain from the food were thinking about”If your addiction to your smartphone is getting you down,its suggested that turning yourphone screen grey helps you reduce screen time because a black and white screen becomes lessattractive to look at.With recent studies showing our phones can make us 26%less productive andincrease our stress,it seems like a nobrainer to try this“dim”idea.Fancy a swim in icecold water?Well,the TV programme found a daily dip in freezing watergets you used to the stress of doing it and therefore prepares you for other life stresses.And anotherway to“chill out”is to leave your smartphone at home,immerse yourself in a forest,and breathe inthe fresh air.Forest bathing is the perfect tonic(补品)for the stresses of urban life.Other lifeimproving ideas included things such as singing to reduce pain and walking aroundmore to get away from our sedentary(久坐不动)lives.But whatever way we choose to adopt,itseems any change to our lifestyle can help improve our body and mind.()28.Whats the function of a series of questions in the first paragraph?A.To provide more background information.B.To provoke thinking and

toxicform of plastic pollution entering remote reaches of the globe.A new study published inEnvironmental Research found significant quantities of nanoplastics in ice samples from both theNorth and South Poles.“Now we know that nanoplastics are transported to these corners of the Earth in thesequantities.This indicates that nanoplastics are really a bigger pollution problem than we thought，”study lead author Dusan Materic said in a press release.Nanoplastics are plastics that are smaller than a micrometer in size.Their small size meansthey are more difficult to study than microplastics,or plastics between five millimeters and amicrometer.But they may be even more dangerous.6“Nanoplastics are very toxicologically(毒 理 学 地)active compared to，for instance,microplastics,and thats why this is very important，”Materic said.Materic and his team used new methods to measure nanoplastic pollution in ice samples fromGreenland and Antarctica.They sampled a 14meterdeep ice core from the Greenland ice cap andsea ice from Antarcticas McMurdo Sound.They found that there were an average of 13.2nanograms per milliliter of nanoplastics in the Greenland ice and an average of 52.3 nanograms permilliliter in the Antarctic ice.But what was even more surprising than the amount of nanoplastics in the remote ice was justhow long they had sat there.“In the Greenland core，we see nanoplastic pollution happening allthe way from the 1960s.So organisms in that_region,_despite the lack of the solid evidence,likely all over the world,have been exposed to it for quite some time now，”Materic said.The study also looked at the types of plastic present in the samples.Half of the Greenlandnanoplastics were polyethylene(PE),the kind of plastic used for plastic bags and packaging.Aquarter came from tires and a fifth were polyethylene terephthalate(PET),which is used forclothing and bottles.()32.Why should researchers focus more on nanoplastics?A.They are more important to science.B.They are smaller but more dangerous.C.They are easily polluted by ocean water.D.They are more active in cold surroundings.()33.What can we learn about nanoplastics?A.The North and South poles are the birthplace of nanoplastics.B.Nanoplastics have less influence on the planet than microplastics.C.Nanoplastics found in the samples are widely used in the daily life.D.Nanoplastics have been existing since the 1960s throughout the world.()34.What does the underlined word“that region”refer to in Paragraph 6?A.Greenland ice cap.B.Antarcticas McMurdo.C.The south and north poles.D.All places in the world.()35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Microplasticsproving more dangerous.B.Nanoplasticsmaking its way to the poles.C.Nanoplasticsposing a threat to peoples life.D.Microplasticssetting the alarm bells ringing.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Picture yourself sitting at
