In China, each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste according to a report. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way?

Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (一代，一辈).

China is getting really serious about waste now.

We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished.

China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment.

The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting (分类). Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting systems. More will join them soon. More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste.

We all know plastic pollution has become a serious problem. One million plastic drinking bottles are thrown away every minute. What if we could use plastic waste to build roads? This is exactly what Toby McCartney has done.

In 2019, McCartney’s UK-based company, MacRebur, built a 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,” McCartney said.

McCartney’s idea came from a trip to India. “I saw people in India would put plastic waste into potholes(路面的坑洼) and burn it. The plastic would melt down(熔化) and fill the holes,” said McCartney.

“I knew that there must be some correspondences between plastic and bitumen, which both come from oil. That’s how I started to think about mixing them,” he said.

After lots of testing, McCartney found the perfect method. And now his company has built many plastic roads around the world. A one-kilometer stretch of road uses about 684, 000 plastic bottles or 1.8 million plastic bags. The road itself can be recycled and the materials can be reused to build new roads.

“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 the ocean than fish.”

21．Compared with normal roads, the plastic road _________.

is not easy to breakb. is fit for hot weatherc. is more stretchy d. costs more money

A．ab B．ac C．bc D．bd

22．________ gave McCartney the idea of building the plastic road.

A．Too many changes in the weather

B．His wish to reduce plastic pollution

C．His knowledge of plastic and bitumen

D．Indian people’s way of dealing with potholes

23．The underlined word “correspondences” in this passage means ________.

A．competitions B．connections C．differences D．reasons

24．What does McCartney mean in the last paragraph?

A．He is ready to offer help in reducing plastic pollution.

B．Children should also join to reduce plastic pollution.

C．Plastic problems will soon be solved with his help.

D．Plastic pollution is becoming more and more serious.

25．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．To describe how much a kid’s future matters.

B．To encourage every company to build a plastic road.

C．To help people understand how harmful plastic waste is.

D．To tell people plastic waste can be reused to build a road.
