Of that, more than billion tons have bee waste. And of that waste, a surprising billion tons never made it to a recycling binthe figure that shocked the scientists who published the numbers in 2017.s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us.5.犇犇閱讀理解 (4)考查推理判斷。 (3)考查推理判斷。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017....

In France, where there was no unified (統(tǒng)一的) measurement system at the national level, the situation was particularly terrible. The lieue (former measure of distance), for example, varied from just over 3 km in the north to nearly 6 km in the south. Throughout much of human history, man has been the measure of many, if not all, things. Lengths were divided up into feet and smaller units from the human hand. Other measures were equally characteristic. Mediterranean traders for centuries used the weight of grains of wheat to define (定義) their units of mass. The Romans used libra, forerunner of the pound, by referring to the weight of a carob (角豆樹(shù)) seed.3.犇犇閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 (4)考查主旨大意。故選A。他完全沉浸在大自然之中。s as it should be.(1)What is Kang Byoungwook doing? lost in nature. up his strength. to control a forest fire. firefighters under stress.(2)What does Lisa Nisbet think of being outdoors? is overlooked by people. has nothing to do with happiness.

One paper from December 2014 estimated that over a quarter of a million tons of ocean plastic pollution was afloat. According to RanMarine, the WasteShark is available in both autonomous and remotecontrolled models. Measuring just over five feet by threeandahalf feet ( meters by meter), it can carry up to 352 pounds of rubbish ( kg) and has an operational battery life of 16 hours. By 2016 there were approximately 150 million tons of plastic in the world39。 WasteShark also has the abilities to gather air and water quality data, remove chemicals out of the water such as oil, and heavy metals, and scan the seabed to read its depth and outlines, said Oliver Cunningham, one of the cofounders of RanMarine. Fitted with a collisionavoidance system, the drone uses laser imaging detection and ranging technology to detect an object in its path and stop or back up if the object approaches.s around the perimeter (周邊) or through the city itself. The drones are that last line of defense between the city and the open ocean, added Cunningham.
