25、 cant be or wont be recycled. In 40 years, less than 10% of plastic has been recycled.A news programme Frontline, by NPR and the PBS, found that oil and gas companiesthe makers of plastic have known that all along, even as they spent millions of dollars telling the American public the opposite. The
26、plastics industry officials said the industry is providing money for new technology that they believe will get recycling plastic up to scale. The goal, they said, is to recycle 100% of the plastic they make in 5 years.But the more plastic is recycled, the less money the industry will make by selling
27、 new plastic. And those profits have become increasingly important. Companies have told shareholders （股东）that profits from using oil and gas for transport are expected to decline in coming years with the increasing use of electric cars. The industry leaders expect oil and gas demands from the chemic
28、al industry will be much greater than the demand from the transport side in the coming decade. Plastic production overall is now expected to rise three times by 2050, and once again, the industry is spending money on advertisements and public relations to promote plastic recycling.Plastic is now mor
29、e common than its ever been and harder to recycle. Gas prices remain at historic lows,making new plastic cheaper than recycled plastic. And the industry now produces many more different and more complex kinds of plastics that are more costly to sort and in many cases cant be recycled at all. Efforts

33、n learning and ability development, but more likely to be addicted to television and video games?In the past, a poor person was normally considered to have bad virtue or have no ambition. The Nobel Prize winner Baneijee corrects such views and explains the truth behind the poor. Poor people tend to
34、live with more worries in their lives, he said, so they need tools such as televisions,cellphones,junk food and video games to get rid of worries more than others. But learning something often takes a lot of time and money to get rewards, while the poor are often impatient due to economic （经济的）reaso
35、ns, and their life in the meantime is getting more boring.Banerjees research has found that the poor often need to borrow short-term loans （贷款）. Thus, the poor tend to take higher financial risks they often have unstable incomes and are unable to get money to start a business from banks, so they rel
36、y more on these high-interest loans. And these small loans put a brake on their savings against risks.How could the poor step into the middle class? Maybe starting a business is a way out. But for the extremely poor, its impossible to get help from banks to start a business. In most cases, a more pr
37、actical option is getting a job in government agencies because comparatively speaking, government jobs are very stable, which give the poor the opportunities to be hired for the long term ,to increase the “ bandwidth （带宽）of their thinking, and thus making it possible for families to move from povert
38、y to the middle class.Whats the role of government then? When the market cant solve a problem, the government will solve it. And the problem behind the poor is actually the failure of the market. The poor often lack the necessary information to make the right choices and they often carry too much re
39、sponsibility for their survival to make the best choices. In this sense, Baneijees research provides a new perspective for governments to understand poverty, so that policies can be tailored to reduce poverty and eventually remove it.32. What do the poor need to improve their ability according to Ba
40、neijee?A. Ambition.B. Money.C. Guidance.D. Patience.33. What will probably cause the poor to face financial risks?A. The high-interest loans.B.Their small incomes.C.The financial policies.D.Their educational backgrounds.34.What may be a right choice for the poor to get out of poverty?A. Setting a hi
41、gh goal.B.Working as civil servants.C. Opening their mind.D.Seeking support from banks.35. What can the government do to get rid of poverty?A. Adjust the policy.B. Control the market.C. Do more research.D. Offer enough information第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I d
