[2026·江西赣州高二期末]
Plastic pollution remains one of the most serious
environmental problems worldwide. For many years, scientists
have tried to create workable biodegradable (可生物降解的)
alternatives. However, many plastics, including those using
natural materials like bamboo or seaweed, have often been
difficult to break down effectively on a large scale, limiting their
real-world use.

An important step forward now comes from research at
Rutgers University, inspired by nature's own efficient systems.
Noticing that natural materials such as DNA break down
relatively easily, researchers found the reason: these biological
molecules (分子) contain special built-in chemical parts known as
“neighbouring groups”. These groups help the material break
down from within. By creating artificial versions of these parts
and adding them during the plastic-making process, scientists
can now design materials with a specific, planned lifespan—
whether meant to last days, months, or years.

课 后 习 题
This new technology is to create plastics with finely-tuned
lifespans that could quickly break down, showing great promise
for short-use items. Products like food packaging and other
short-lived consumer materials could be made to stay strong
during use but degrade safely soon after, offering a clear
environmental benefit.
However, the technology has limits. It is not yet suitable for
long-term uses where materials must stay strong for decades,
such as in buildings or cars. Another current drawback is its
1

课 后 习 题
need for UV light, including ordinary sunlight, to start the
breaking-down process. This means plastics thrown away in
landfills or covered up will not break down as they should.
Key issues must be solved before wide use. The safety of
the small pieces left after breakdown needs careful testing to
make sure they are not harmful to nature. Scientists are still
working to improve the system, mainly aiming to enable
decomposition (分解) without light exposure.

Still, this progress in creating plastics with a planned
lifespan is a significant move forward. By building controlled
breakdown into the material itself, it opens a practical path
towards smarter plastics that do their job and then safely
disappear, which could help reduce the lasting problem of
plastic pollution.#7

[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段“Noticing that natural materials
such as DNA break down relatively easily, researchers found the
reason: these biological molecules (分子) contain special built-in
chemical parts known as ‘neighbouring groups’. These groups
help the material break down from within. By creating artificial
versions of these parts and adding them during the plastic-
making process, scientists can now design materials with a
specific, planned lifespan—whether meant to last days, months,
or years.”可知,生产过程中添加的特殊化学基团让新塑料能够分解。

building controlled breakdown into the material itself, it opens a
practical path towards smarter plastics that do their job and
