课时跟踪检测（一）　阅读理解专项练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A In the 2010s, 34­year­old Brianne Miller travelled around the world as a marine biologist. No matter how remote the location was, she made the same alarming discovery：huge amounts of plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed to do something. Canadians throw out about three million tonnes of plastic waste each year, about 33 percent of which comes from food packaging. Approximately one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste, too. Miller, determined to fix the problem, imagined a shop that went further than banning plastic bags — a place that avoided both wasteful packaging and the bad habit of wasting food itself. In June 2018, Miller opened her first zero­waste grocery store in Canada. She named it Nada, and ensured everything was designed to make the zero­waste shopping experience easy. You can bring your own containers, though it's not necessary：right by the front door are sanitized (消过毒的) glass or plastic containers, free for the taking. Nada sells various food items, all 100 percent package­free. Miller is clear that the store doesn't try to compete on price. For example, popcorn with the paper package at a regular store may cost 70 cents per 100 grams; at Nada, a customer might pay D|S1 per 100 grams. Even so, zero­waste shopping can still come with savings.Take products that typically come packaged in large containers, like spaghetti sauce, a large part of the traditional cost would be in that glass jar. Although the early days of the disease were tough on the business, Miller timely turned to online ordering and delivery, though in a very Nada way. Everything from olive oil to fresh eggs comes delivered in sanitized containers, which are collected with the next round of deliveries. Those containers do so much more than just reduce waste. They get people thinking big, just as Miller hoped. “They're tagged with Nada stickers, so you can see how many times the container has been used，
