第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
1、Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A．The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
B．Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C．The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D．Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
2、How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A．By statistics.
B．By quotations from leading experts.
C．By using examples from his own experience.
D．By comparison and contrast.
3、What can we infer about climate change?
A．Climate change is caused by human activities.
B．Some people hold some doubts about climate change.
C．Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.
D．Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.
4、What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Ocean plastic is a global issue.
B．The oceans become choked with plastic.
C．Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.
D．Plastics gain in popularity all over the world

Many of us were raised with the saying "Waste not， want not"． None of us， therefore， can completely avoid waste in our lives．
Any kind of waste was thoughtless， whether we waste our potential talents， our own time， our limited natural resource， our money， or other people's time． Each of us can become more aware of and careful． The smallest good habits can make the big difference． It's a good feeling to know in our hearts we are doing our best in a world what is in serious trouble． By focusing on oil， water， paper， food or clothing， we are playing a part in cutting down on waste．
We must keep reminding us that it is easier to get into something than it is to get out of it． Actually， severe damage done to our land is fair recent in the history of our evolution． It's time for us to say no to waste so that our grandchildren's children will able to develop well．113
