A team f leading envirnmental experts have warned that the current war n plastic is detracting frm the bigger threats t the envirnment.

The illusin f chice is a cgnitive bias that causes peple t believe they have mre cntrl ver their lives than they actually d. In fact, it is a false sense f cntrl that can lead t subptimal decisin-making.

In the film, it is revealed that Cambridge Analytica used data frm the Internet t create targeted ads fr users based n their prfiles. The ads were designed t appeal t peple’s fears and biases in rder t affect their pinins n candidates.
The illusin f chice can be a pwerful tl t cntrl peple. It is essential t be aware f yur wn biases and tendencies when making decisins. Take time t cnsider all f yur ptins befre making a decisin. Be aware f the ptential risks and csts assciated with yur chices. Seek ut multiple pinins befre making a final decisin.

解析：①考查短语。句意：随着越来越多的科学家表示，我们面临的不再是气候问题，而是气候紧急情况，呼吁所有人都参与到解决方案中来，让所有年龄段的人都做好准备。短语：part f，意为“……的部分”，符合句意。故填f。
②考查名词的数。句意：随着越来越多的科学家表示，我们面临的不再是气候问题，而是气候紧急情况，呼吁所有人都参与到解决方案中来，让所有年龄段的人都做好准备。根据空前的“all”可知，空处为名词的复数形式。故填ages。
③考查形容词。句意：老年人气候行动组织(ECA)的发言人Leslie Whartn正在将越来越多的“老手”组织成一个全国性的网络，这些人不再只是空谈，而是紧密地聚集在一起，采取行动。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词修饰空后的名词“number”，用形容词“grwing”，意为“越来越多的……”。故填grwing。
