【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 alled Pozzi, works to raise awareness about plastic pollution in Earth39。s oceans. More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world39。s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean. The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution. These artworks are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity (生物多樣性) on land and in the sea, says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.（1）What is the purpose of the artworks shown at the Smithsonian39。s National Zoo?

For thousands of years, bamboo has been used in many different waysfrom food to medicine to clothing and, in small ways, as a building material. However, bamboo is not often used as a building material in the developed world. A professor at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania is trying to change that. The professor and his students are testing the strength of are testing how much pressure or weight it can take before breaking. Kent Harries is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Harries says that testing methods for bamboo need to be the same for all. They need to be standardized. Standardizing test methods for bamboo will help to bring the plant into mon use. It will also give engineers and builders around the world a dependable standard. Harries says that bamboo is strong in nature. The strength of at least three species of bamboo is similar to its strength, bamboo has other features that make it very useful in building. He says it is resilient(有彈力的), meaning it keeps its shape and strength even under pressure. Bamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable for construction needs much less resources than wood. The harvest cycle of bamboo is about 3 years. Softwoods such as cedar, pine and spruce have a harvest cycle of about 10 years. And hardwoods that e from flowering plants such as oak and walnut need more than 30 years. Bamboo is widely used as food for panda bears. It is also used for flooring and window covers. However, for building, bamboo is not used much outside its native growing area. This is mostly because of its round shape. But there are other reasons too. People think or have the mentalitythat bamboo is a low quality building material.（1）What is the author mainly talking about in the passage? A.Make bamboo a mon building material.B.Take advantage of bamboo in our everyday.C.Consider bamboo to be a mon plant.D.Use bamboo to replace building materials.（2）What is the purpose of what Kent Harries and his students did? A.To prove what is the most useful plant.B.T
