W: [19]There will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by 2050 unless more recycling takes place. That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 10 years. [19]By 2050. plastics will weigh more than fish, and oceans have to hold more plastic than fish, the report said. The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.
M: Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks are often swept into oceans. [20]Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrades. That means it does not break down.
W: [21]There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans—people can recycle more That is a major recommendation of the report by the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation. The report’s authors say that currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. It said research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology.
M: The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products. But that is not lively to happen, the report’s authors say. "Given plastic packaging’s many benefits, both the likelihood and desirability of a drastic reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used in our daily life is clearly low," the report said. But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried "where it is possible."
W: [22]For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. The Natural Resources Defense Council said research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics. Another cause of death is that plastics cause "blockage of digestive system and starvation," the environmental group said.
19. What is the main problem mentioned in the report?
20. What is the difference between plastics and other trash?
21. According to the report, how can the problem be solved?
22. What is the effect of plastics in oceans on the fish?
选项
A、There will be more plastics than fish in oceans.
B、More and more fish will die from starvation.
C、People use more and more plastic packaging.
D、The oceans of the world are over-fished.
答案
A
解析
录音开头提到2050年海洋里的塑料将比鱼更多。接着说这是一份来自世界经济论坛和艾伦.麦克阿瑟基金会的新报告所发出的警告,也就是说,“海洋中的塑料将会比鱼多”即为该报告所讲的主要问题。故选A。
