Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of the 21st century,with its impact spreading across every corner of the planet,especially in our oceans.It's estimated that over 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year,forming massive garbage patches that threaten marine life and disrupt entire ecosystems. Marine animals,from tiny plankton to giant whales,are the primary victims of this crisis.Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish,their natural prey,leading to fatal digestive blockages.Seabirds get entangled in plastic nets and six-pack rings,which can break their wings or necks.Even microscopic plastic particles,known as microplastics,have been found in the bodies of fish and shellfish,eventually making their way into the human food chain through seafood consumption. The good news is that individuals,governments,and businesses are taking action to address the problem.Many countries have implemented bans on single-use plastics like straws and plastic bags,encouraging the use of reusable alternatives such as cloth bags and metal straws.Environmental organizations are organizing beach cleanups and raising public awareness about the importance of reducing plastic waste.Meanwhile,scientists are developing innovative solutions,including biodegradable plastics made from plant materials and technologies to remove existing plastic from the oceans. However,solving plastic pollution requires global cooperation and long-term commitment.It's not enough to just ban certain products;we need to rethink our entire approach to consumption and waste management.By making small changes in our daily lives,like bringing our own water bottles and recycling properly,each of us can contribute to protecting the oceans and the countless species that call them home.(1)What is the main idea of the passage? ____ A.The history of plastic invention and its widespread use.B.The severe effects of plastic pollution on oceans and solutions to it.C.How microplastics enter the human body through food.D.Why single-use plastics are more harmful than reusable ones.(2)Which of the following is NOT a harm caused by ocean plastic pollution? ____ A.Marine animals mistaking plastic for food.B.Disruption of marine ecosystems.C.Increase in the number of plankton in the ocean.D.Plastic particles appearing in seafood.(3)What action have many countries taken to fight plastic pollution? ____ A.They have stopped producing all types of plastic products.B.They have banned single-use plastics and promoted reusable items.C.They have sent scientists to clean up the garbage patches.D.They have fined businesses that use plastic packaging.(4)What does the author emphasize as necessary for solving plastic pollution? ____ A.Developing more advanced fishing technologies.B.Reducing the consumption of seafood globally.C.Global teamwork and long-term dedication.D.Educating children about environmental protection in schools.
