Bullets to Bandages C. The One Who Shows the Way D. Bless Your Little Cotton SocksBThroughout the world, humans use about 1 trillion plastic bags each year. But experts say theyre causing major trouble for the environment.Thats why cities like Austin. Texas and San Francisco have banned plastic bags. New York City plans to charge a five-cent fee for every bag.In fact, it takes 10 to 20 years for a plastic bag to break down. Even then, tiny pieces of the bag never really go away. Many plastic bags get washed out to sea. Thousands of sea animals, like dolphins and whales, die each year,because of plastic bags. Some animals think the bags are food and eat them. But an animals body cant process a bag as it digests food. The bag can cause a very slow, painful death for an animal. Sea animals arent the only ones eating plastic. The chemicals in plastic bags can get into the ground at a landfill. The chemicals can also get into the bodies of animals we eat. That means the chemicals can get into our water and food.Plastic bags were first introduced in 1977. People thought the bags were much better than paper bags. Plastic bags were stronger and cheaper to make. They were light and easy to use in the store. Plastic bags can also be healthier to use. Germs from raw meat and vegetables can live a lot longer on cloth or paper bags than they do on plastic bags.A lot of people say that New York Citys bag fee is one way to do that. Shoppers might think twice before using a plastic bag if they have to pay for it. Most Americans have already reused plastic bags. Some people take plastic bags back to the store the next time they shop. Others pack their lunches in them. And many people use them to pick up their dogs waste. Some stores are trying bags made from more Earth-friendly materials, like corn. But it is not clear yet if these will help the environment.24. Whats the second paragraph mainly about?A. The value of plastic bags. B. The future of plastic bags.C. The danger of plastic bags. D. The processing methods of plastic bags.25. What can we learn about the bags made from corn?A. They prove to be deadly to sea animals.B. They can break down entirely like food.C. They are unhealthier to use than paper bags.D. They do no harm to the environment.26.Whats the meaning of the word underlined in the second paragraph?A.吞咽 B.处理 C.排泄 D.咀嚼27. Whats the attitude of New York City towards plastic bags?A. Their usage should be reduced. B. They should be offered for free.C. They should be banned entirely. D. Their materials should be from plants.cHigh in a valley on the border of Italy and Austria. a young couple went out for a hike.As the hikers made their way across the snow-covered rocks,they found that a human body lay buried in the melting ice.
