二、阅读理解
Engineers have launched a huge garbage collection device to gather plastic floating in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii. The plastic makes up what is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It is the world's largest spread of garbage, twice the size of the stale of Texas.
The organisation The Ocean Cleanup created the collection device. The group's founder is Boyan Slat, a 24-year-old inventor from the Netherlands. When Slat was 16, he went diving in Mediterranean Sea and saw more plastic bags than fish. Since then, he has made up his mind to clean up the ocean.
He told the Associated Press that researchers with his organisation have found plastic from the 1960s and 1970s among the materials in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It contains an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic in total. Most of them float on the surface of the water, or are within a few metres under the surface.
Last Saturday, a ship pulling the pipe-shaped floating barrier left San Francisco for the Garbage Patch. The barrier, called the floater, is 600 metres across. Attached to it is a screen (滤网) that hangs three metres down in the water. The screen is designed to collect the plastic as it moves through the water. Sea animals can safely swim under the barrier. The cleanup system also comes with lights powered by the sun, cameras, and other special devices. Slat said these enabled the system to report its position at all times.
Shipping containers will hold all the plastic gathered, including bottles and fishing equipment. Slat said the containers are expected to be back on land within a year. Then the plastic will be recycled. And they will also study how the system performs in severe ocean conditions, including huge waves.
1.How did Boyan Slat react to that diving in the Mediterranean Sea
A.He showed a great interest in diving.
B.He became worried about his safety.
C.He decided to remove the garbage in the ocean.
D.He became curious about underwater creatures.
2.What has the organisation The Ocean Cleanup found about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
A.Most of its plastic is half a century old.
B.It covers almost the size of the state of Texas.
C.Altogether there are about 1. 8 billion pieces of plastic.
D.The majority of its plastic floats on or near the surface.
3.Why was a screen attached to the floater
A.To power lights in the ship. B.To protect sea animals near it.
C.To tell the position of the ship. D.To collect plastic along the way.
4.What is the text mainly about
A.Approaches to removing garbage in the ocean.
B.The problem of garbage in the Pacific Ocean.
C.A young man who does well in classifying garbage.
D.A huge device made to clean garbage in the ocean.
