My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it.By chance，a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options.There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world，but we tried our luck，sent a request，and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada，so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple，we decided to start our own travel blog.We began by writing about the Virgin Islands，highlighting the beautiful beaches.However，for every photo album of a beautiful beach，there were 10 photos of trash(垃圾)．It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue，especially on such primitive and remote beaches.So，we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.
The more we looked into plastic pollution，the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution.From that point，we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free.We changed our daily routines，our way of living，and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.
It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can.This journey has led us to some amazing places，working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.
Our aim now is to keep on going.We love connecting with like-minded people.It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting.Who would have guessed

(2024·安徽高二上期中)
In the first test of its kind in Europe，and only the second in the world，Belgian researchers tested 39 brands of straws(吸管) for the group of synthetic(合成的) chemicals known as poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)．The straws are made from five materials—paper，bamboo，glass，stainless steel and plastic.PFAS were found in the majority of the straws tested and were most common in those made from paper and bamboo.They were not found only in steel straws tested.
PFAS are used to make everyday products，from outdoor clothing to non-stick pans，resistant to water，heat and stains.They are，however，potentially harmful to people，wildlife and the environment.They have been related to a number of health problems，including lower response to vaccines(疫苗)，lower birth weight，thyroid disease，liver damage，kidney cancer and testicular cancer.They break down very slowly over time and can last thousands of years in the environment，a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”．
A growing number of countries，including the UK and Belgium，have stopped the sale of single-use plastic products，including drinking straws，and plant-based versions have become popular.The PFAS concentrations(濃度) were low in them and，bear in mind that most people tend to only use straws occasionally，bringing a limited risk to human health.However，PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time.
It isn’t known whether the PFAS were added to the straws by the producers for waterproofing or the PFAS were the result of contamination.Potential sources of contamination include the soil the plant-based materials were grown in and the water used in the production process.However，the presence of the chemicals in almost every brand of paper straws means it is likely that it was，in some cases，being used as a water-resistant coating，say the researchers.
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。研究人員發現多種吸管含有PFAS，文章主要介紹了PFAS對健康的損害以及其可能的來源。
5．Why are PFAS called “forever chemicals”？
A．They are commonly seen in daily life.
B．They bring humans health problems.
C．They remain in the environment for long.
D．They can resist water，heat and stains.
答案　C
解析　細節理解題。根據第二段最后一句“They break down very slowly over time and can last thousands of years in the environment...as ‘forever chemicals’．”可知，PFAS在環境中能夠保持數千年而不被分解，這是它被稱為“永遠的化學品”的原因。故選C。
6．How can PFAS harm people’s health
A．By bringing people air pollution.
B．By polluting humans’ food.
C．By building up little by little in humans’ body.
D．By making people addicted to drinking easily.
答案　C
解析　推理判斷題。根據第三段最后兩句“The PFAS concentrations(濃度)．.. bringing a limited risk to human health.However，PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time.”可推知，PFAS可以在人體內停留多年，濃度會隨著時間的推移而增加，從而影響人的健康。故選C。
7．What does the underlined word “contamination” in the last paragraph mean
A．Pollution. B．Discovery.
C．Experiment. D．Development.
答案　A
解析　詞義猜測題。根據畫線單詞所在句以及后面的句子“Potential sources of contamination include the soil the plant-based materials were grown in and the water used in the production process.”可知，PFAS可能是 的結果，而 的可能來源包括植物性材料生長的土壤和生產過程中使用的水，再結合PFAS對人體有害可推知， 應是負面的、會影響水和土壤的過程，選項A符合推斷。所以畫線單詞的意思是“污染”。故選A。
8．What does the text mainly talk about
A．More and more countries give up single-use plastic products.
B．PFAS are widely used in the production of daily necessities.
C．Certain kinds of new synthetic chemicals were discovered.
D．Environment-friendly drinking straws are actually harmful.
答案　D
解析　主旨大意題。根據全文尤其第一段內容可知，文章主要介紹了用紙和竹子等植物材料制成的似乎更環保的吸管中普遍含有有害成分PFAS，這意味著它們看似環保，但實際上是有害的。故選D。

Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
語篇解讀　本文是記敘文。文章主要講述了作者因為一次寵物看護工作去了一座很美麗的小島，但是小島卻被塑料所污染，之后作者一直致力于環境保護工作。
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options.There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world，but we tried our luck，sent a request，and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada，so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple，we decided to start our own travel blog.We began by writing about the Virgin Islands，highlighting the beautiful beaches.However，for every photo album of a beautiful beach，there were 10 photos of trash(垃圾).It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue，especially on such primitive and remote beaches.So，we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.

(2024·安徽高二上期中)
In the first test of its kind in Europe，and only the second in the world，Belgian researchers tested 39 brands of straws(吸管) for the group of synthetic(合成的) chemicals known as poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).The straws are made from five materials—paper，bamboo，glass，stainless steel and plastic.PFAS were found in the majority of the straws tested and were most common in those made from paper and bamboo.They were not found only in steel straws tested.
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。研究人員發現多種吸管含有PFAS，文章主要介紹了PFAS對健康的損害以及其可能的來源。
PFAS are used to make everyday products，from outdoor clothing to non-stick pans，resistant to water，heat and stains.They are，however，potentially harmful to people，wildlife and the environment.They have been related to a number of health problems，including lower response to vaccines(疫苗)，lower birth weight，thyroid disease，liver damage，kidney cancer and testicular cancer.They break down very slowly over time and can last thousands of years in the environment，a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”.
A growing number of countries，including the UK and Belgium，have stopped the sale of single-use plastic products，including drinking straws，and plant-based versions have become popular.The PFAS concentrations(濃度) were low in them and，bear in mind that most people tend to only use straws occasionally，bringing a limited risk to human health.However，PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time.
It isn’t known whether the PFAS were added to the straws by the producers for waterproofing or the PFAS were the result of contamination.Potential sources of contamination include the soil the plant-based materials were grown in and the water used in the production process.However，the presence of the chemicals in almost every brand of paper straws means it is likely that it was，in some cases，being used as a water-resistant coating，say the researchers.
5.Why are PFAS called “forever chemicals”？
A.They are commonly seen in daily life.
B.They bring humans health problems.
C.They remain in the environment for long.
D.They can resist water，heat and stains.
√
細節理解題。根據第二段最后一句“They break down very slowly over time and can last thousands of years in the environment...as ‘forever chemicals’.”可知，PFAS在環境中能夠保持數千年而不被分解，這是它被稱為“永遠的化學品”的原因。故選C。
解析
6.How can PFAS harm people’s health
A.By bringing people air pollution.
B.By polluting humans’ food.
C.By building up little by little in humans’ body.
D.By making people addicted to drinking easily.
√
推理判斷題。根據第三段最后兩句“The PFAS concentrations(濃度)... bringing a limited risk to human health.However，PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time.”可推知，PFAS可以在人體內停留多年，濃度會隨著時間的推移而增加，從而影響人的健康。故選C。
解析
7.What does the underlined word “contamination” in the last paragraph mean
A.Pollution. B.Discovery.
C.Experiment. D.Development.
√
詞義猜測題。根據畫線單詞所在句以及后面的句子“Potential sources of contamination include the soil the plant-based materials were grown in and the water used in the production process.”可知，PFAS可能是 的結果，而 的可能來源包括植物性材料生長的土壤和生產過程中使用的水，再結合PFAS對人體有害可推知， 應是負面的、會影響水和土壤的過程，選項A符合推斷。所以畫線單詞的意思是“污染”。故選A。
解析
8.What does the text mainly talk about
A.More and more countries give up single-use plastic products.
B.PFAS are widely used in the production of daily necessities.
C.Certain kinds of new synthetic chemicals were discovered.
D.Environment-friendly drinking straws are actually harmful.
√
主旨大意題。根據全文尤其第一段內容可知，文章主要介紹了用紙和竹子等植物材料制成的似乎更環保的吸管中普遍含有有害成分PFAS，這意味著它們看似環保，但實際上是有害的。故選D。
