5、 you end up with a lower-quality plastic with worse properties (特性) than the original.This means that plastic drink bottles cannot simply be recycled into new drink bottles continuously,but instead are used for other lower-grade products like park benches.Now,British scientists have developed a new
6、method of chemical recycling.They use lower temperatures and more environmentally friendly chemicals than previous methods to turn plastics back into their constituent chemical molecules (分子).In this way,they can be used to make new plastics of the same quality as the original.“Most plastics are now
7、 recycled using mechanical methods,where they are transformed into liquids before being made into something new,”said a professor named Matthew Jones.“The problem is,melting plastic changes its properties and reduces the quality.Our method of chemical recycling overcomes this problem.Then plastics c
8、an be used all over again without losing any properties.”The researchers are recycling some kinds of plastics,including plant-based PLA,a plastic used for food packaging and PET,which is used for drink bottles.So far,the technology has only been demonstrated in a small range.However,scientists are n
9、ow working to produce larger quantities of chemicals.“There is no single solution to the problem of plastic wastethe approach has to be a combination of reducing,reusing and recycling.Our method of chemical recycling could allow carbon to be recycled endlessly rather than digging more up from the gr
10、ound in the form of fossil fuels,or letting it into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas,”said Dr.Paul McKeown from the University of Bath.1.What is the problem with the present plastic recycling?A.The quality of recycled plastics declines.B.Plastic drink bottles cannot be recycled.C.The amount of pla
11、stic waste is increasing.D.Recycled lower-grade products sell badly.2.How do scientists recycle plastic waste with the new method?A.By transforming it into fuels.B.By heating it into the liquid state.C.By keeping its original properties.D.By changing its molecule structure.3.What can we learn from w
12、hat Dr.Paul McKeown said?A.Fossil fuels are endless resources.B.The plastic waste problem has no solution.C.Recycled carbon leads to greenhouse gases.D.The chemical recycling is environmentally friendly.4.In which part of the website can we find the text?A.Business.B.Technology & Science.C.Lifestyle
13、.D.Art & Culture.参考答案：1.A细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“However,one of the problems with present plastic recycling methods is that you end up with a lower-quality plastic with worse properties (特性) than the original.”可知,目前的塑料回收利用方法存在的一个问题是,最终得到的是特性比原来质量差的特性较低的塑料。故选A项。2.C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Then plastics can be used all
14、 over again without losing any properties”可知,科学家开发的新的回收利用塑料废物的方法维持了塑料原有的特性,故选C项。3.D推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Our method of chemical recycling.or letting it into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas”可知,他认为化学回收利用的方法可以让碳无休止地循环利用,而不是以化石燃料的形式从地下挖掘出更多的碳,或者让碳作为温室气体进入大气。由此可知,他认为化学回收利用的方法是环保的。故选D项。4.B推理判断题。本文分析了目前的塑料废物回收利用方法存在的问题,并介绍了一种科学家新开发的可以维持塑料原有特性的回收利用方法。由此可知,本文可能出自网站的科学与技术版块。故选B项。
