Here’s an astonishing statistics. Scientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made: 8.3 billion tonnes. Looked at another way, that’s as heavy as 25,000 Empire State Buildings or one billion elephants. And incredibly, almost all of it has been made in the last 65 years.
So what’s the prob lem? Much plastic is in the form of packaging which is used just once and then thrown away. According to a major new study from the University of California, 9% of this is recycled, 12% is incinerated and 79% goes to landfill. And because most plastic does n’t biodegrade, once it’s in the ground, it stays there.
It’s a situation that has led the paper’s lead author, ecologist Dr Roland Geyer, to say that we are “rapidly heading towards ‘Planet Plastic'”. He believes that there’s already enough waste out there to cover the whole of Argentina.
The team behind this report also estimate that eight million tonnes of plastic waste are escaping into the sea every year. This has generated concern that plastic is entering the food chain, though fish and other sea life which ingest the smaller fragments.
Of course, the reason why there’s so much plastic around is that it’s an amazingly useful material. We can’t get enough of it. It’s durable(耐久的) and adaptable, and is
used for everything from yoghurt pots to spaceships. But it’s precisely this quality which makes it a problem. The only way to destroy plastic is to heat or burn it –although this has the side effect of harmful gases.
So what’s the alternative, other than using less plastic? Oceanographer Dr Erik van Sebi lle from Utrecht University says we’re facing a “tsunami(海啸)” of plastic waste, and that the global waste industry needs to “get its act together”.
Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says it’s poor design that’s at fault. He says that if products are currently designed “with recyclability in mind”, they could be recy cled around 20 times over.
58. What does Dr Roland Geyer mean by “Planet plastic”?
A. Plastic will be applied in more ways across the world.
B. Plastic is so harmful that it will soon destroy the earth.
C. The globe might be covered with plastic waste someday.
D. Our planet goes hand in hand with the growth of plastic.
59. Why does the quality of being durable and adaptable make plastic a problem?
A. It is entering the food chain.
B. It has bad effect on many industries.
C. It produces harmful gases when it is burnt.
D. It is overused and it can’t be destroyed properly.
60. What can be a practical way to prevent “Planet Plastic”?
A. To make less use of plastic
B. To use plastic over and over
C. To find substitutes for plastic
D. To make plastic harmless to us

Reader question:
Please explain “sure fire” in this sentence: He is a sure fire Oscar nominee and has a real shot at winning.
My comments:
Here, an actor is compared to a sharpshooting rifle, a long- barreled gun good for long-distance
shooting.
Sure fire or surefire or sure-fire is a combination of "sure", as in sure and certain, and "fire”, as in
fire a shot
Surefire, therefore, means literally a good shot, a shot that is certain to hit the target.
In our example, the actor is considered sure fire or certain to be an Oscar nominee for his
performance in a film and is thought to have a real chance of winning the Oscar Award.
Anyway, surefire is an American expression originally referring 10 sure-fire rifles.
dates is first
known use at 1846. EtymOnline com says it had been popular by 1864 Both dates seem reasonable, rifles enjoyed their prime before, during and after colonial (殖民的) times.
Eventually, rifles have fallen by the wayside, giving way to more powerful and more accurate weapons, but sure-fire, as an adjective has lived on.
Here are two sure-fire examples in recent American media:
1. Here's some news that will make you want to go Dutch (AA制). The cost of a date (约会) is on the rise, and Maryland is among the top 10 states where it's the highest.
An August report by the Delaware-based financial news and opinion company has ranked Maryland the seventh most expensive state to go on a date, averaging at S209.33 per outing. New York came in at No.1, with an average date costing around 5300.
The list was compiled by calculating the average price of: a liter of wine in June 2018; two movie tickets in 2017; and the average cost of two restaurant dinners in 2016. It also considered the cost of goods, services, dining out, transportation, alcohol and taxes for each state.
Luckily, there are some outings that aren't as expensive. For a date in Maryland, the website suggested taking a walk along the Ocean City boardwalk, which can be as expensive as you want to make it. But if you're looking for a sure-fire cheaper option, you can always jump ship and start dating in another state entirely.
65. How does the author try to convince us of his explanation about “sure fire”?
A. By making objective analyses
B. By stating his personal views
C. By presenting reliable evidence
D. By giving persuasive examples
66. What is the possible background of the phrase “sure fire”?
A. It came into being in wartime.
B. It was initially used in hunting.
C. It appeared together with the invention of the rifle.
D. It was related to something burning in the beginning.
67. In Example 1, an American medium mainly intends to illustrate the fact that ________.
A. “sure fire” is still alive today.
B. love costs a lot indeed these days.
C. More people like going Dutch
D. expenses differ between the states.
