The two boys, Tom and Huck, were very frightened because they worried about being found by Injun Joe and his friend．Through the hole in the floor, the two boys upstairs saw the men eat and talk．Then the men were tired and fell asleep．Tom and Huck lay there for a very long time．Finally, the two men woke up and lifted up a stone in the ground and took out some money they had stolen．Then Injun Joe lifted up another stone and found a box.

“What’s this?” Injun Joe asked.

The two men pulled the box out of the ground and opened it．The two boys, Tom and Huck, could see there was much money in it．They were very excited.

“There’s thousands of dollars in the box!” said his friend.

“It must have been left here by Murrel,” said Injun Joe.

“What will we do with it?”

“We’ll take it to my hideout (隐匿处).”

“Number one or number two?”

Then Injun Joe and his fiend saw some tools in the corner and decided to go upstairs．But the stairs broke when Injun Joe stood on them! So the two men left the house and went towards the river．Tom went home as quickly as he could.

The next day, the two boys remembered the “Number two”, thinking this must be the number of the room in the hotel．They got all the keys they could find anywhere．But Tom discovered the door was not locked．He opened it!

—Adapted from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

C．Injun Joe and his friend were looking for them      D．Injun Joe and his fiend wanted to talk to them

When you think of the Arctic (北极), you imagine an icy land of pure white snow．Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on earth．We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish．“And now.” CNN says, “it’s the Arctic’s turn.”

German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow．Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters．Sadly, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter of (每升) snow.

How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic?

According to scientists, it’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air．They fall off the plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust．They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow．Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.

Are they bad for us? Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO．We do know that our bodies cannot take in “large” pieces of microplastics．However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health．What’s more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.

Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world．Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems along the way．They start in our waste water, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals．If people then eat these animals, it means that we’re eating the plastic as well.

42．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.

A．the Arctic is the last really clean place left on earth

B．the Arctic is an icy land of pure white snow

C．the Arctic is a beautiful icy land with clean air

D．the Arctic has been polluted by plastic rubbish

43．The underlined word “contribute” means ________ in Chinese.

A．增加                            B．捐赠                            C．影响                            D．贡献

44．Which of the following isn’t true?

A．We may breathe microplastics in Arctic.                B．Microplastics may cause lung cancer.

C．We don’t have to mind microplastics right now.   D．Microplastics have hurt ecosystems.

45．How does the writer end this passage?

A．By advising us to drink clean water.                         B．By asking people not to eat sea animals.

C．By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution.       D．By showing the beauty of Arctic.
