Ways to Reduce Plastic Waste
Plastic is found in almost everything these days. Your food is packaged in it. Your car, phone and computer are made from it. While most plastics are considered as recyclable, the reality is that they're “downcycled.” 16．
Use matches.
If you need to light a candle, build a campfire or start a fire for any other reason, choose matches over plastic lighters. 17． If you can’t bear to part with your lighter, pick up a refillable metal one to help cut down on waste.
Just say no to straws.
One of the easiest ways to keep plastic out of the landfill is to refuse plastic straws. 18． Can’t fathom giving up the convenience of straws? Purchase a reusable stainless steel or glass drinking straw. Restaurants are less likely to bring you a plastic one if they see that you’ve brought your own.
19．
About 1 million plastic bags are used every minute, and a single plastic bag can take 1,000 years to break down. If you’re already bringing reusable bags to the grocery store, you’re on the right track. However, if you’re still using plastic produce bags, it’s time to make a change.
Skip the frozen foods section.
20． While giving up frozen food can be difficult, there are many benefits. You’ll be eating fewer processed foods and avoiding the chemicals in their plastic packaging.
A．Use reusable produce bags.
B．Develop new ways to deal with plastic.
C．Then how can we recycle plastic correctly?
D．Simply inform your waiter or waitress that you don’t need one.
E．Frozen foods offer both convenience and plenty of plastic packaging.
F．These cheap plastic lighters have even been found in dead birds’ stomachs.
G．Luckily, there are simple steps to help decrease the amount of plastic waste.
第二节 【解题导语】文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何减少塑料垃圾的方法。比如，使用可以重复使用的袋子或者使用火柴而不用塑料打火机等。
16．答案：G
解析：考查对上下文的推理判断能力。上文介绍塑料垃圾无处不在，而下文介绍如何减少塑料垃圾的产生，由此判断该空为承上启下句，故选G。
17．答案：F
解析：考查对上下文的推理判断能力。前句建议人们要尽量选择火柴而不使用塑料打火机，由此推断后句应该介绍塑料带来的害处，故选F。
18．答案：D
解析：考查对上下文的推理判断能力。前句建议人们要拒绝使用塑料吸管，所以判断D选项：告诉服务员你不需要，内容符合语境。
19．答案：A
解析：考查对文章段落大意的概括能力。本段通过介绍塑料用量之大，而且难以分解的情况，建议人们要使用可重复使用的袋子，故选A。
20．答案：E
解析：考查对上下文的推理判断能力。本段建议人们放弃食用冷冻食品，因为冷冻食品往往有塑料包装，提示词：Frozen foods，故选E。
