问题     You’ve probably heard that our oceans have become a plastic soup. But in fact, of all the plastic that enters Earth’s oceans each year, just 1 percent has been observed floating on the【C1】________So where is the rest of it?
    This "missing" plastic has been a longstanding scientific question. To date, the search has focused on oceanic gyres (环流) such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the bottom of the ocean, and the【C2】________of marine wildlife. But our new research suggests ocean plastic is being transported back onshore and pushed【C3】________onto land away from the water’s edge, where it often becomes trapped in vegetation.
    Of course, plastic has been reported on beaches around the world for decades. But there has been little【C4】________on why and how coastal environments are a sink for marine debris. Our findings have big implications for how we【C5】________ocean plastic.
    We found that the amount of marine debris and where it ends up are【C6】________by onshore wave activity and wind activity. Densely-populated areas and those where the coast was easily【C7】________were hotspots for trapped plastics. Our findings highlight the importance of studying the【C8】________width of coastal areas to better understand how much, and where, debris gets trapped, to inform targeted approaches to managing all this waste.
    Plastic pollution can be reduced through local【C9】________such as water refill stations, rubbish bins, incentives and awareness campaigns.  It can also be reduced through targeted waste management policies to reduce, reuse and recycle plastics. We found container deposit schemes to be a【C10】________effective incentive in reducing marine pollution.

选项
答案L
解析 副词辨析题。分析空格所在句结构，our new research是主语，suggests是谓语，其后为宾语从句。从句为被动语态且基本成分完整，因此空格处应填入副词。空格所在句指出，海洋塑料正在被运回岸上，并被________推到远离水边的陆地上，在那里的塑料通常被困在植被中。由此可知，这些塑料垃圾被运回岸上，困在植被中，之后就不会再回到海洋里了。空格处应填入含有“永远地”意义的副词，故答案为L)permanently。备选副词particularly表示“特别，尤其”，不符合题意，因此排除。
