课时分层作业(二十一) Ⅰ.阅读理解 篇(限时6分钟) (2022·洛阳市第一次统考) Angela Pozzi didn't like seeing plastic trash washed up on the shore near her home in Bandon，Oregon.She wanted to unite her community to clean it up，so she started an organization and called it Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea. Volunteers help clean up Oregon's 300 miles of the shoreline.Then，using only plastics from the beach clean­up，Ms Pozzi and her staff and，many volunteers create sculptures of sea animals.Ms Pozzi says，“I want to create sculptures that，hopefully，will make people consider their plastic purchases and be aware of how so much plastic ends up in the ocean.” Since 2010，more than 10，000 volunteers have collected 21 tons of trash and helped create more than 70 works of art.Four travelling exhibits have displayed the sculptures in more than 18 places.Shedd Aquarium in Chicago，Illinois，hosted an exhibit through September 2018. People have used plastics to create life­saving medical devices，inexpensive containers and gadgets，and toys，of course.But unlike wood，cotton，and other natural materials，plastics don't break down into anything useful.Instead，they stay for years in landfills，waterways，and the ocean.The materials are harmful to some sea animals，such as turtles，sea lions，and birds.Some of these creatures eat plastic objects that look like food.Others become entangled (被紧紧缠住) in plastic nets or packaging. Ms Pozzi gives credit to everyone who helps.“One person didn't create these sculptures，” she says.“Some people have picked up the plastic; others have sorted the items by color.Still others have washed each piece of plastic trash.Volunteers have drilled holes or helped to make the small wire­stitched panels，while others have welded (焊接) the giant frames.I do the heads and detail work，and my staff and I take all the pieces everyone contributes to finish the work，” says Ms Pozzi.“Until we run out of plastic on the beach，the work will continue.” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。看到塑料垃圾源源不断地被海浪冲到她家附近的海岸上，Angela Pozzi联合当地社区，成立
