Supermarkets， shops and outlets(经销店) in China can’t offer plastic bags any more.Every year， people use too many plastic bags. They throw them here and there after they have used them. The government has done its best to deal with them but failed. While we offer quick service（服务） to customers， the plastic bags pollute water，earth and air， and they waste the oil.

阅读理解 判断给出的语句是否正确，正确的在括号内写(T)不符的在括号内写(F)Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags.The rule started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less、 Making super—thin plastic bags has also been banned.The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are not easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.( ) 21、 People in China have to pay for using Plastic bags at shops and supermarkets now.( ) 22、 China made this rule because plastic bags were bad for the environment.( ) 23、 The Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for the shopping.( ) 24、 Some students in Chongqing buy cloth bags for their parents.( ) 25、 The main idea of the article is that the bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution.
Polyester (聚酯) is now being used for bottles. ICI, the chemicals and plastics company,believes that it is now beginning to break the grip of glass on the bottle business and thus take advantage of this huge market.All the plastics manufacturers have been experiencing hard times as their traditional products have been doing badly world-wide for the last few years. Between 1982 and 1984 the Plastics Division of ICI had lost a hundred and twenty million dollars, and they felt that the most hopeful new market was in packaging, bottles and cans.Since 1982 it has opened three new factories producing "Melinar", the raw material frown which high quality polyester bottles are made.The polyester bottle was born in the 1970s, when soft drinks companies like Coca Cola started selling their drinks in giant two-liter containers. Because of the build-up of the pressure of gas in these large containers, glass was unsuitable. Nor was PVC, the plastic which had been used for bottles since the 1960s, suitable for drinks with gas in them. A new plastic had to be made.Glass is still cheaper for the smaller bottles and will continue to be so, unless oil and plastic become much cheaper, but plastic does well for the larger sizes.Polyester bottles are virtually unbreakable. The manufacturers claim they are also lighter, less noisy when being handled, and can be reused. Shopkeepers and other business people are unlikely to object to a change from glass to polyester, since these bottles mean few breakages, which are costly and time-consuming. The public, though, have been more difficult to persuade. ICI's commercial department is developing different bottles with interesting shapes, to try and makethem visually more attractive to the public.The next step could be to develop a plastic which could replace tins for food. The problem here is the high temperatures necessary for cooking the food in the container.?Plastic containers for holding food in the same way as cans__________.A.have been used for many yearsB.are an idea that interests the plastics companiesC.are possible, but only for hot foodD.are the first things being made in the new factories

It is everywhere,as visible as it is vilified.From car parts to crisp packets,plastic has suffuse the Earth,and beyond-in 1969 Neil Armstrong planted a nylon Stars and Stripes on the moon.More than 8bn tonnes has been produced since the 1950s,enough to wrap the continents in cling film four times over.1 Untold tonnes end up as irretrievable ocean flotsam,which sunlight and salt fragment into microscopic pieces that attract toxins and may be gulped by creatures that become seafood Plastic weighs heavily on the mind,too.2 In Britain hatred of plastic unites the right-wing Daily Mail,the leftie Guardian,and the queen,who has banned plastic straws from her castles.But hold on.The little scientists know about plastic suggests that although it is the most noticeable pollutant it is far from the most harmful.Using less is at best a partial solution.a bet-ter answer is to collect more-especially in Asia The effects of plastic on nature and human health are hard to gauge.Most polymers are chemically inert.That makes them durable.3 It also makes them less likely to be a health risk to humans and beasts.As a pollutant,their impact is much lower than less tangible menaces.By one estimate,the environmental and social costs of plastic run to 9 139bn a year,chiefly from the greenhouse gases produced in its production and transport.The figure for farming is$3trn.Fertiliser run-off alone causes S 200bn-800bn worth of damage to the ocean,compared with S 13bn from plastic marine litter.Then look at the alternatives.A cotton tote bag must be used 131 times before its carbon footprint improves on that of a throwaway carrier bag This does not stop plastic from being a problem.4 Prohibition makes sense in poor places like Bangladesh and Kenya that lack proper waste-management systems.It is less useful in tidy France where rubbish collection works smoothly.It would be more effective for rich countries to shore up their recycling industries.They may have little choice in any case A carbon tax may spur recycling,which is less energy-intensive than producing virgin plastic Mandating minimum recycled content in plastic containers,as California has since 1991,is also a useful tool.Governments could exempt second-hand polymers from value-added tax;after all,the tax has already been paid on the fresh source material 5.Among the ten biggest plastic polluters,all but two are in developing Asia.Together,they account for two-thirds of the plastic spewed into the ocean.Of these,only China could afford Western-style waste-management in the near future.Others are just waking up to the problem;before plastic began piling up,it reasonably seemed less of a priority for governments.Bangladesh may be able to copy India which,despite its 1.3bn people,falls outside the top ten thanks to armies of ragpickers.The rest,like Vietnam or Thailand,may be too wealthy for raddiwallahs,yet too poor for sophisticated rubbish collection.The rich world should focus its attention-and resources,including charity-on chivvying them along.That is the surest way to stem the plastic tide4选？A.But bans and penalties on plastic bags in rich countries may be better for the conscience than for the environmentB.But by itself,the West will not solve the problemC.It also makes them less likely to be a health risk to humans and beastD.For some 79%of the plastic produced over the last 70 years has been thrown away,either into landfill sites or into the general environmentE.Nine in len Europeans wory about ts impat on eosystems thre in four fret that it can harm their own healthF.Only 9%was recydled 60%was dumped,mosty in aills s too often in the natural wordG.Researdn shows he wi De more pasic han tsh by weignt n he wold's oceans by 2050 and srawns are a major lador because the vast maoiy are never eydlede
