二、阅读理解（16分）（2018·诸暨模拟）
Your morning activities may be like this: have breakfast, brush teeth, shower, then head out to start your day. But there’s a hidden step in there you may not realize—polluting the ocean and endangering sea life while polluting the food chain.

help keep our skin and teeth looking good, many kinds of sea life are mistaking the tiny colorful balls for food.
Researchers find pieces of plastic in seawater. What makes this even more worrying is that plastic is known to be excellent at absorbing toxic pollutants（吸收有毒污染物） in water. It’s thought that these toxins could be making their way up the food chain and finally onto our plates. A plate of seafish could have up to 50 plastic pieces.
A number of countries have announced they won’t allow the using of microbeads, including the UK and the US. An environmental program suggests that we should stop using products with microbeads. They send people to schools to tell children there are a lot of products having microbeads. Some scientists are doing research to better understand the pollution of microbeads. They’re trying their best to create some environment-friendly products.
In the near future, there will be safe ways to deal with microbead-containing products, and for people who decide not to use them any more, they can use some natural objects instead.
（ ）1. According to the passage, we can know that the microbeads__________.
A. are widely used in our daily cosmetics
B. are now very popular in young women

（ ）2. Why are people worried about the plastic at sea?
A. Because it hurts many kinds of fishes in the sea.
B. Because it endangers the safety of humans’ ships.
9
C. Because it absorbs toxins and enters our food chain.
D. Because it seriously pollutes our drinking water.
（ ）3. The fourth paragraph mainly talks about__________ .
A. why it’s hard to stop using microbeads
B. what the danger of using microbeads is
C. where people use microbeads most
D. how to stop people from using microbeads

Good environment is very important to everyone. It’s our duty to protect the environment. Here are some good ideas.

We can ride bikes to school, and we can also plant more trees so that the air will be fresher and fresher. We should stop using plastic bags. It’s pretty harmful to our environment. We should pick up the litter on the ground. We should turn off the lights before leaving. We can also do some volunteer work, for example, cleaning the parks.
I believe if every teenager does something helpful like that, our environment will be better and better.
