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.
    A) accessible      F) entire         K) particularly
    B) advance        G) estimated     L)  permanently
    C) changes        H) financial      M) stomachs

【C6】
选项
答案J
解析 动词辨析题。分析空格所在句结构，that引导宾语从句，作found的宾语。宾语从句使用了被动语态，主语为the amount of marine debris and where it ends up，谓语为are_________，因此空格处应填入动词的过去分词形式。空格所在句指出，海洋垃圾的数量以及它们最后能到的地方_________向岸海浪及向岸风。由常识可知，海浪和风会把海洋垃圾带到不同的地方，因此空格处应填入含有“影响，决定”意义的动词，故答案为J)influenced。
