adding up to a surprising amount of pollution in water,as a new study shows.Sam Athey,one of the studys authors,says,“Even though denim is made of a natural materialcotton,it contains chemicals.”Cotton fibers were treated with many types of chemicals,she notes.Some improve its durability and feel.Others give denim its distinctive blue color1.Athey and her team washed jeans and found that about 50,000 microfibers came off from each pair per wash.Not all of those fibers make their way into the environment.Wastewater treatment plants catch about 83 to 99 percent ofthem.Catching 99 percent may sound pretty good.But one percent of 50,000 is still 500 fibers per wash.And since every pair of jeans is washed again and again,it still adds up to lots of microfibers entering the water environment.Denim microfibers showed up in sediment（沉淀物）from the Great Lakes.More of these fibers polluted a series of shallow lakesin southern Ontario.They even turned up in sediment from the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada.The team found denim accounted for 12 to 23 percent of microfibers in the sediment.There were other microfibers too.But the team focused on denim because so many people wear jeans.“Everyone wears jeans so they could be our largest input of microfibers into our streams and soils,”Athey says.“An easy way to limit that is by washing our jeans less often.”Athey grew up thinking she should wash her jeans after wearing them every couple of times,but most jean companies recommend washing them no more than once a month.“The solution is not that you shouldnt wear jeans,”she says.“We need to buy fewer denim clothes and only wash them when they truly need it.”4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Chemicals are contained in natural cotton.B.Chemicals can make denim color1 ful.C.Chemicals prevent fibers from falling.D.Chemicals can make the life of denim longer.5.What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Denim.B.Sediment.C.Microfibers.D.Chemicals.6.What does the author mainly want to tell us through Atheys words?A.To avoid wearing jeans.B.To reduce denim consumption.C.To wash jeans more often.D.To limit input in denim production.7.In which section of a magazine might the text be found?A.Science.B.Entertainment.C.Tourism.D.Geography.C Disease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves.Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year,which results in over one million deaths.Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world,so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used,and most powerful,mosquito repellent ever developed,scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils.While DEET is an effective contact repellent,many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin,and sometimes some people are sensitive to it.Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents,so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity,Dr.Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes.The first group of the new repellents act through the air.These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection,and they are called“spatial”repellents,since they act through space.These are potentially most useful in backyards,parks,and houses.The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface,such as human skin,clothing or tents;collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils.They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents:They are fully biodegradable,with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes,and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries.However,thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.8.What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A.The way mosquitoes spread disease.B.The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C.The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D.The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.9.What is a disadvantage of DEET?A.It wont be effective for long.B.It cant be applied universally.C.It causes discomfort to the users.D.It greatly harms peoples health.10.What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A.They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B.They are mainly used in the open air.C.They are more effective on human skin.D.They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.11.Whats the authors attitude to the new repellents?A.Subjective.B.Objective.C.Doubtful.D.Disapproving.D Craig Blackburn,a father and car fan,built a Batmobile for his sons hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children.And now he hopes to use it for more than just his sons hope after seeing the childrens reaction to the Batmobile.Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups,he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.Mr.Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing.It started with importing an outer shell overseas,before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car.With the help of his friend,Mr.Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.Mr.Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower(喷火器)onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight.Though Mr.Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction,in September 2019,the carmade its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba,before being used by Blackburns son for his hope.“It was great.It was so good to see the kids and adults excitement at seeing the Batmobile.”Mr.Blackburn said.As a result,the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible,so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.12.What is Craig Blackburns initial purpose of making the Batmobile?A.To realize his sons dream.B.To donate it to sick children.C.To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.D.To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.13.How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first?A.Hopeful.B.Confused.C.Impossible.D.Unsure.14.How did Blackburns friend help him?A.By making an outer shell for him.B.By offering him financial support.C.By sharing the knowledge of building cars.D.By telling him the background of the car factory.15.What is the car lovers expectation of the Batmobile?A.It will be driven soon on the roads.B.It can be displayed around the world.C.It can change the lives of sick children.D.It will appear in the next film about Batman.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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 In the early decades of the Peoples Republic
