2015届高考英语一轮选修六Modules5~6复习题(外研版含答案)

es from those two places. It can come from Asia,the United States and Canada . Approximately 75% of the plastic comes f rom sources on land,while the other 25% comes from ships at sea. Tons of the plastic produced yearly throughout the world ends up in the ocean. Since this plastic has been beaten by the waves,much of it has been broken down into small pieces that marine life often thinks of as food.
Nurdles are the raw material that is used to make plastic products. Millions are spilled into the ocean every year,which make up about 10% of all the marine plastic pieces. Nurdles are bean-sized pieces of plastic. When these nurdles float in the ocean,t hey pick up the DDT and the PCBs that are already in the ocean. When plastics break down,chemicals that are not found in nature are released. These become deadly to marine life. They are also harmful to their growth and development.
Thousands of wildlife die every year because of the trash. Many marine animals eat pieces of plas tic trash and die. Others eat things like sma ll plastic toys. Birds and fish often mistake the brightly colored nurdles for fish eggs. The toxins(毒素) may cause genetic problems in the wildlife when they gather i n their bodies,and the toxins can even poison them.
You can help by cutting back on the amount of plastic you use in your home and in your business. Pick up trash when you see it lying around and deal with it properly. Recycle as much plastic as possible. Help cle an up beaches,rivers and streams. When trash collection day comes around,make sure your trash won't be blown away.

Dear__Editor,

With so many parents coming to pick up their children,traffic jams are frequent near the school gate,which has caused a lot of inconvenience to us.
In order to avoid traffic jams,I strongly recommend some effective measures be taken.First,we should encourage students to ride a bicycle or walk to school instead of taking a car,which not only avoids traffic jams,but also builds up students' health.It is also a good idea to allow junior students to leave school 10 minutes earlier than others ,which wi ll surely make the street less crowded.Besides,cars should not be allowed to park in front of the school gate.
