Most of the plastic is not large items like bottles or boards.A large percentage of the debris (is made up of"microplastics"(smaller than 5 millimeters).These microplastics are the tiny pieces of larger items that have been wom down over time.This can be caused by the sun, the waves and even by sea creatures().Items do not just stay floating on the water.Different types of plastics can float just below the water or even much lower down into the ocean.Larger items include fishing ropes and nets that have been lost or dropped at sea. The largest attempt (in history is now being made to understand and deal with the problem.Scientists have been counting.weighing and separating every tiny item of plastic collected.Larger items are easier to remove from the ocean than the tiny microplastics.However. if these larger items are not removed,they may break down into smaller pieces. This means it can stay in the environment for hundreds of years.so every piece of plastic ever produced is still there today.It is also a danger to fish,birds and other sea life because creatures mistake tiny plastics for food.The tiny microplastics take in pollutants which make them poisonous (to sea life.Some larger plastics can also hurt creatures.The nets floating in the ocean are known to catch sea life and make it impossible for them to get away. Fish,sea turtles and dolphins are among the creatures in great danger from these"ghost nets". Of course,the best solution of all is for us to try to reduce the plastic entering the oceans first.If we want to create less waste-to reuse and recycle-then we can reduce the number of new plastics adding to this and other garbage patches. 32.The writer talked about the size of the garbage patch in Paragraph I to A.show how serious the problem is B.guess where plastic waste can be found C.explain how big the UK's area is D.discuss how the garbage patch formed 33.The following sentence would be best placed at the beginning of Plastic is cheap and quite easy to make,however it is very long-lasting. A.Paragraph 2 B.Paragraph 3 C.Paragraph 4 D.Paragraph 5 34.What can we leam about microplastics? A.They are from the sea. B.They are easier to clean up. C.They are the food to the birds. D.They are formed over time. 35. Why is plastic harmful to sea creatures? A.Because larger plastics take their living area in the ocean. B.Because different types of plastics can get down into the ocean. C.Because people try to create less waste by reusing and recycling. D.Because sea creatures may die as they eat polluted microplastics. 八年级英语试想第6页（共8项） 第Ⅱ卷主观题（共50分） 四、词汇运用 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形 式，（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 36.Getting vitamin D from (直接的)sunlight i指far from enough 37.He borrowed a book to learn about Wuxi's (过去)and present 38.A bad eating (may cause serious health problems,especially for kids. 39.Schools and parents need to work (密切地)to support students. 40.The visitors are advised not to (冒险做)going to sea in bad weather. 41.Zhang Chi,one of the driving (教练，ealires his dream as a racer in Pegasus2 42.Sadly,there are millions of people in the world who can't (买得起)food 43.Doing housework like cooking and cleaning helps us learn (基础的)sks 44.Whenever he was asked why he was late,he would answer (满不在平地) 45.The man is busy (holes in the garden to plant trees. 五、综合阅读 第一节阅读下面短文，然后根据首字母提示填入一个单词或用括号内单词的正确形式 填空。（本节共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） As the sun rises over his tea plantation in Ning'er County in Pu'er,Yunnan Province,Li Xingchang walks a 46 examining the tea trees and smelling their aroma () So far.the 69-year-old 47(spend)almost forty years planting and making Pu'er tribute tea,which was once produced for the royal family during the Qing dynasty (1616-1911).
