Microplastics in Water—a Wake-up Call for All of Us
Today researchers announced that they have found tiny pieces of plastic—microplastics(微塑料）in water from around the world. These pieces are so small that they are unseen to the naked eye(裸眼）and are very difficult to clean from the water. 1
Even worse, the plastic has also been found in drinking water across the world, which makes people worried. 2 Scientists do not know what level of harm this will do to us in the future.
3 For example, they're from washing and drying clothing and from cleaning products, such as toothpaste and face washes. Microplastics are even found in the air outside and in our homes.
Almost every country across the world agrees that we cannot continue using so much plastic in our lives. 4 We also need to introduce new duties and other means to encourage companies to choose environment-friendly things and recyclable packaging for their products.
We need to take personal responsibility, too. We all have the freedom to choose how we spend our money and what kinds of business and products we support. Let's work together to protect our environment, both now and for the future. 5
A. Remember: Reduce—Reuse—Recycle.
B. This means that we are drinking plastic every day.
C. Microplastics come in a number of different ways.
D. When in the water, they are eaten by fish and other animals.
E. We need to find a solution to cleaning microplastics from our oceans.
F. Most plastic waste is produced by factories along big rivers.

解析
【分析】
解题思路：先通读全文把握主旨（微塑料的存在、危害、来源及应对措施），再分析每个空格前后语句，结合话题一致性、逻辑连贯性匹配选项：
1. 空格前介绍水中微塑料的特点（小、难清洁），需衔接其在水中的去向，对应选项；
2. 空格前提及饮用水中发现塑料，需承接该话题说明影响，对应选项；
3. 空格后举例说明微塑料来源，需总起来源相关内容，对应选项；
4. 空格前讲各国减少塑料使用，需衔接应对微塑料的具体措施，对应选项；
5. 空格前强调个人责任，需衔接个人具体做法，对应选项。
【解析】
1. 空格前句说明水中微塑料“难清洁”，D选项“当在水中时，它们被鱼和其他动物吃掉”衔接微塑料进入水中后的去向，话题一致，故选D；
2. 空格前句指出“饮用水中发现塑料”，B选项“这意味着我们每天都在喝塑料”承接上文，进一步说明饮用水中塑料的影响，逻辑连贯，故选B；
3. 空格后举例说明微塑料的来源（洗衣、清洁产品等），C选项“微塑料有多种不同的来源”总起来源相关内容，引出下文例子，故选C；
4. 空格前句提到“不能继续使用大量塑料”，E选项“我们需要找到从海洋中清除微塑料的解决方案”是应对微塑料问题的具体措施，衔接上下文，故选E；
5. 空格前句强调“个人要承担责任”，A选项“记住：减少—重复使用—回收”是个人应对微塑料的具体做法，符合语境，故选A。
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.C 4.E 5.A
【知识点】英语语篇衔接、阅读理解（七选五）
【点评】本题为英语七选五题型，考查学生对语篇逻辑关系的理解能力，需结合上下文话题、语境匹配选项，整体难度适中。
