26、We all know there is a problem with plastic pollution. Five trillion plastic bags are used every year. One million plastic drinking bottles are bought every minute. What if we could use plastic waste to build roads? This is what Toby McCartney has already done.
In 2019, McCartney’s UK-based company, MacRebur, built the world’s first plastic road in Elgin town, Scotland. The plastic waste was made into grains (颗粒) and then mixed with bitumen (沥青). The road looks just like any other road. But it has improved strength and is more stretchy (有弹性的) thanks to the plastic.
“Our technology can not only help solve the problem of plastic waste but also produce roads that deal better with changes in the weather, reducing cracks (裂缝) and potholes (路面的坑洼),” McCartney told the BBC.
McCartney’s idea came from a trip to India. “I saw people in India would put plastic waste into potholes and burn it. The plastic would melt (熔化) down and form a seal in the hole,” said McCartney.
“I knew that there must be some similarities between the plastic and bitumen, which both come from oil. That’s how I started to think about mixing them,” he said.
“We’re just a small part of ending the plastic problems, but it’s nice to be part of it,” McCartney said. “I just don’t want my daughters to live in a world where there are more plastics in our oceans than fish.”
【1】Paragraph 1 is written to show that plastic pollution is ________.
A.faster than expected
B.better than other pollution
C.a serious problem
D.mostly unknown
【2】Compared (比较) with normal roads, the plastic road ________.
a. is not easy to break
b. is afraid of hot weather
c. is more stretchy
d. costs more money
A.ab
B.ac
C.bc
D.bd
【3】What does McCartney mean in the last paragraph?
A.Plastic pollution will soon be solved with his help.
B.Children should also join to reduce plastic pollution.
C.Plastic pollution is becoming more and more serious.
D.He is willing to offer help in reducing plastic pollution.
