五、阅读理解

Micro plastics are tiny bits of plastic often too small to be seen. Plastic doesn't decompose like natural materials. Instead, it just breaks into smaller and smaller pieces. No one knows exactly how much plastic is in the oceans. Since the sea is so large and so deep, it s hard to get a good idea of how much plastic it contains. But in recent years, scientists have made greater efforts to get a more accurate idea.

Some studies have suggested that since 1950. about 17 million metric tons(公吨)of plastic have entered the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists believe that the plastic previously found on beaches and on the surface of the water is only about 1% of all the plastic in the oceans. Researchers from the United Kingdom (UK) want to find out where the other 99% was.

For two months in 2016 the researchers took samples at 12 different locations in the Atlantic Ocean from the UK to South America. They collect water samples from three different depths in the top 200 meters. By running the water through special fllters(过滤器),they were able to collect the micro plastics, which they could view and study with a microscope.

Based on their measurments. the researchers learned that just the top 200 meters of the Atlantic Ocean holds between 12 and 21 million metric tons of plastics. But the Atlantic Ocean is very deep, and the scientists only checked the top 200 meters. They say that if micro plastics are spread through the rest of the Atlantic like they were in the top 200 meters, thin there arc probably about 200 million metric tons of micro plastics in the Atlantic Ocean.

Though the scientists only studied the Atlantic ocean the results suggest that there may be far more micro plastic in all oceans than we realized. The problems go far beyond ocean pollution. Micro plastic particles have been found just in everywhere around the world from Antarctica to the bottom of the sea.

Scientist predict that the amount of plastic entering our oceans is likely to triplet over the next 20 years. Having a good idea of how much plastic is already then might be a good first step to fighting the problem.

5. What docs the underlined word “decompose” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. turn up    B. break down      C. give off    D. bring out

6. What is the latest idea about the plastic in the seas?

A. Previous data of plastic consists of only a very small part.

B. There is only 17 million metric ton of plastic on the earth.

C. The amount of plastic in the seas is on the decrease in recent years.

D. The amount of plastic in the seas is increasing by 1 % yearly.

7. What is the author’s attitude according to the text?

A. Pessimistic.  B. Confident.   C. Objective.   D. Conserved.

8. What does the author expect to take place?

A. More pollutants will turn out in the future.  

B.Measures will be taken to deal with plastic.

C. The oceans will be cleaned in the future.   

D. More people will be aware of plastic pollution.
