That is what

8、 a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025. By 2050, plastics will weigh more than fish. The problem is that each year at least 8 millio

9、n tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and side

10、walks often are swept into oceans. Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrades. There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans people can recycle more. Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. Research in Europe shows as much as 53 p

11、ercent of plastic could be recycled using available technology. The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products. But that is not likely to happen.“Given plastic packagings many benefits, both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramatic reductio

12、n in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low, ”the report said. But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried“where possible. ”For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics. Another

13、 cause of death is that plastics cause“intestinal blockage and starvation, ”the environmental group said.4. Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?A.

16、 for up to a year,according to a new study.On November 14, 2016, the Kaikoura earthquake struck New Zealands South Island, causing a destructive tsunami. Under the surface, the earthquake caused strong currents that swept away and mostly killed off diverse ecosystems of creatures living along the Ka

17、ikoura underwater canyon.As a result, whales had to dive deeper and longer to find food“a major shift” in their behavior, says co-author Liz Slooten, a marine biologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand.The impact earthquakes have on land animals has been well documented, but scientists know

18、 ly little about what happens underwater. Such research is important for government agencies, which may need to take recent earthquakes into consideration when considering fishing quotas（限额）, notes Rochelle Constantine, a marine mammal ecologist at the University of Auckland.The canyons upper reache

19、s are rich in creatures, supplying food for the fish that make up the whales diet. So when these smaller life forms were washed away, it had “severe consequences for the community around there”, says study co-author Will Rayment. “That effect flowed all the way through the food chain.”As part of the

20、ir ongoing study, the scientists were tracking 42 individual whales. After the earthquake, in all, the team managed to record data on 40 whales, showing that the abundance of whales in the general area didnt change after the earthquake. However, the whales changed how they used their habitat.A year

21、after the earthquake, the researchers observed the whales returning to their previous surface-breathing intervals. This could have been because the communities of animals that make up the whales food began to recover. “It gives you an idea of how resilient（有复原力的）these deep-sea communities are,” says

22、 Rayment.But he and his colleagues will continue long-term monitoring to see if there are effects they missed. Whale activity in the area had already been declining, though its unknown whether it is due to natural changes in food abundance, whale-watching tourism, fishing, or warming ocean temperatu

23、res. “There is something going on in Kaikoura,” says Rayment.8. What happened after the Kaikoura earthquake in the Kaikoura canyon?A. Several destructive tsunamis struck the area.B. Whales had to swim to other oceans to find food.C. Nearly all marine creatures in Kaikoura were killed off.D. Strong c

27、esearch process.D. The scientists will continue studying earthquakes.DAmerican football was the fastest-growing sport for US young players last year, according to a survey sponsored by the sports governing body.But it was the games no tackle variety that showed the biggest increasea finding that may

28、 reflect concerns about injury. In American football, a tackle （抢断球） refers to an attempt to stop an opponent by forcing them to the ground.The number of participants in football grew in 2015 while most other sport, except baseball, posted a decline, USA Football said on Monday, citing（引用） the findi

For that age group, the only other sport that grew was baseball, with a 3. 3 percent increas

30、e.In the 15-to-18 age group, flag football rose by 10. 5 percent, while tackle grew by 2.5 percent.Basketball was the third, with a 1. 1 percent increase. Participation in all other sports declined.Tom Farrey, executive director of the Aspen Institutes Sports & Society Program, said he was surprised

31、 that flag football participation rose so much.“The trend suggests that parents aremarching to the beat of a different drummer, in pursuing flagas an alternative for their kids, he said.The findings come at a time of increasing concern about the risk associated with youth sports, particularly hockey （曲棍球） and football, where medical researchers have warned about the risk of concussions （damagesto the brain caused by violent blows to the head） and deat
