Plastic pollution in the sea
A report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation has shown that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the sea than
fish! This will cause a lot of problems for the whole planet.
Firstly, the report showed that we are making twenty times more plastic than we were making 50 years ago.
However, only 5% of these plastics are recycled, so this means that a lot is thrown away. Secondly, the report
said that every year 8 million tons of plastic pollution goes into the ocean. This is the same as putting one
rubbish lorry of plastic into the ocean every minute. Small pieces of plastic can kill fish and larger pieces of
plastic are dangerous for turtles and seals.
This report is important because it shows how serious the plastic problem is. It told businesses and governments
to work together to protect the oceans. It said that in the future they should only use plastics that can be recycled,
and it said that plastic should never end up in the sea as rubbish.
26. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's report, what will happen by 2050?
A. There will be more fish in the sea than plastic.
B. There will be the same amount of plastic and fish in the sea.
C. There will be more plastic in the sea than fish.
D. There will be no plastic in the sea.
27. How much plastic pollution goes into the ocean every year?
A. 8 trillion tons B. 8 million tons C. 8 billion tons D. 8 tons
28. The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. the ocean B. the plastic C. the problem D. the report
29. Which of the following is TRUE in the text?
A. We made twenty times less plastic 50 years ago than we do today.
B. Only 5% of plastics are thrown away.
C. Fish can be killed by small pieces of plastic.
D. In the future plastic should end up in the sea as rubbish.
30. What is the main message of the report?
A. Plastic pollution is not a big problem.
B. Governments and businesses should work together to protect the oceans.
C. It’s okay to throw plastic into the ocean.
