Question

【題目】 How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket? Throw them away or recycle them? How about eating them?

The bags are no harmful to the environment. Humans and animals can safely eat them. Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural material. It looks and feels just like plastic, but can break down （分解）easily.

Ashwath Hedge who set up the EnviGreen company spent four years doing experiments with 12 natural material. They include potato, corn, vegetable oil and banana. He made the material into liquid and used the liquid to make the bag.

Although the EnviGreen bag is more expensive than a common plastic bag, but it has many advantages. According to the Wall Street Journal, it takes 1, 000 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview with The Better India. In the interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.

There are more than 15, 000 tons of plastic waste every day. But only 9, 000 tons are processed. In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen hag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了如何處理超市的塑料袋？印度的一個(gè)公司用天然材料做了一個(gè)袋子，它看起來(lái)和塑料袋一樣，但可知很容易地被分解，Ashwath Hedge建立了一個(gè)公司，花了4年的時(shí)間用天然材料做實(shí)驗(yàn)，比普通塑料貴，但容易分解。

【1】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“The bags are no harmful to the environment. Humans and animals can safely eat them. Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural material. It looks and feels just like plastic, but can break down （分解）easily. ” 這些袋子對(duì)環(huán)境無(wú)害。人類和動(dòng)物可以安全地食用它們。印度envirengreen公司用天然材料制作了一個(gè)袋子。它看起來(lái)和感覺(jué)都像塑料，但很容易分解�？芍�，選項(xiàng)A“the EnviGreen bag can break down easily” EnviGreen公司的袋子容易分解，選項(xiàng)A正確；選項(xiàng)B“the EnviGreen bag is made from natural material” EnviGreen 公司的袋子由天然材料制成的；選項(xiàng)C “the EnviGreen bag can be eaten by humans and animals” 人類和動(dòng)物可以安全地食用它們。選項(xiàng)D“the EnviGreen bag is a little harmful to the environment.” 環(huán)保袋對(duì)環(huán)境有點(diǎn)有害。這個(gè)說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤。故選D。

【2】段落大意。通讀整個(gè)第三段可知，主要講述了Hedge是如何制作環(huán)保袋子的？故選B。

【3】詞句猜測(cè)。Although the EnviGreen bag is more expensive than a common plastic bag, but it has many advantages.意思是“雖然環(huán)保袋比普通塑料袋貴，但它有許多優(yōu)點(diǎn)。”可知，環(huán)保袋是有用的，雖然它很貴。故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解。hot air熱空氣；old water冷水；boiling water沸水；natural air自然空氣；根據(jù)文中“It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water.”可知，環(huán)保塑料袋在沸水中很快分解。故選C。

【5】推理判斷。通讀整篇短文可知，這篇短文主要講述了環(huán)保袋有助于解決塑料污染問(wèn)題。故選D。
