Plastic is everywhere in ur envirnment, especially in the cean. Actually, a large amunt f plastic waste is flating arund the wrld’s ceans tday, waiting t be eaten by sme fish r yster, and finally perhaps by ne f us.
Because plastic wasn’t invented until the late 19th century, and its prductin nly really tk ff arund 1950, we have a me re 9. 2 billin tns f the stuff t deal with. Of that, mre than 6.9billin tns have becme waste. And f that waste, a surprising 6. 3 billin tns never made it t a recycling bin. N ne knws hw much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the cean. In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, an engineering prfessr, caught everyne’s attentin with a rugh estimate: between 5. 3millin and 14 millin tns f plastic waste each year just cme frm castal regins.
Meanwhile, cean plastic is estimated t kill millins f marine (海洋的) animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered nes, are knwn t have been affected by it. Sme are stuck by abandned things made f plastic. Many mre are prbably harmed invisibly. Marine species f all sizes, frm zplanktn t whales, nw eat micrplastics. We are clsely related t ceans s the cnsequences f thrwing plastic away may return t affect us sme day.
“This isn’t a prblem where we dn’t knw what the slutin is,” says Ted Siegler, a Vermnt resurce ecnmist, “We knw hw t pick up garbage. Anyne can d it. We knw hw t deal with it. We knw hw t recycle.” It’s a matter f building the necessary systems, he says, ideally befre the cean turns int a thin sup f plastic.
28. What’s the functin f the first paragraph?

C. T call n us t prtect marine animals.D. T intrduce the tpic f the passage.

Dragns, a famus imaginary creature brn frm fantasy, are ften present in stries in the west and east. In bth cultures, dragns are recgnized as massive creatures capable f flight. They have great pwer and magical abilities. Hwever, due t their different cultural rts and images, there are significant differences in the different dragn elements in the west and east, particularly in China.
Chinese dragns mst lk like snakes, and have fur claws (爪) and n wings. They ften have features f ther animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the cntrast, Western dragns lk like huge lizards (蜥蜴) with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are ften shwn rugh scales.
In traditinal Chinese culture, a dragn is a symbl f luck, pwer and high psitin. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall t the fields t ensure rich harvests. They are cnsidered sacred creatures, which hld an imprtant psitin as the head f the fur spirits. Therefre, t symblize their pwer, ancient Chinese emperrs decrated their clthes with dragn patterns. These clthes are knwn as dragn rbes. Many Chinese view the dragn as a natinal symbl, prudly referring t themselves as “descendants f the dragn”. In the west, hwever, a dragn symblizes an evil creature that spreads vilence and terrr thrughut the land. They are believed t be transfrmed by the devil (魔鬼), with the ability t breathe fire r spit pisn. Many western tales shw dragns being defeated and killed t prtect peple frm danger.
Tday, dragns cntinue t change, finding new significance in glbal culture. They are n lnger cnnected with evil r gd, but with their wn unique persnalities and mtivatins. Fr example, Tthless frm Hw t Train Yur Dragn begins as a dangerus dragn but changes int a misunderstd creature with lve and kindness. This changes the idea f dragns as naturally evil, shwing their bth emtins and mtivatins.
32. What d western dragns and eastern dragns have in cmmn?
A. They have rugh skin.B. They have big claws and wings.
C. They are in the shape f snakes.D. They are huge and pwerful.
33. What d we knw frm paragraph 3?

B. Dragns in China can prtect peple frm danger.
C. Chinese dragns can cntrl rainfall and breathe fire.
D. Western dragns are a symbl f authrity.

A. They are regarded as adventurus creatures.
B. They are clsely linked with evil r gd.
C. They have mre varius emtins and persnalities.
D. They represent human spirits facing challenges.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
