PLASTIC AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago
from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the Earth's supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the environment. Some plastics can last for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when not needed. They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.
Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used
again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres (strands of material) for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic
ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than throwing them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.
1. According to the passage, things made from plastic are bad for our environment because _____.
A. they are very convenient for people to use in different purposes
B. people reuse plastic objects before recycling them
C. they are a danger to marine life such as whales, turtles and so on
D. plastics can exist for a long time without decomposing
2. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Plastic: effects and solutions to the problem.
B. Materials that plastic is made of.
C. The ways to reduce the harm of plastics on the environment.
D. The history of plastic and its usefulness.
3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to protect the environment?
A. using canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic ones
B. reusing plastic things
C. buying more plastic things
D. recycling plastic things
4. The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. Things B. Plastics C. Rubbish dumps D. People
5. Scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastic form such kinds of plants EXCEPT ______
A. bamboo B. corn stalk C. sweet potato D. flax
6. The phrase "get rid of" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. remove B. make C. create D. keep

A. oil and coal B. oil, coal and iron

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
PLASTIC AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago
from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the Earth&#x27;s supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax. 
 Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the environment. Some plastics can last for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when not needed. They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet. 
Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used
again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres (strands of material) for clothing. 
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic
ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than throwing them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.
