Nations in the UN have agreed that the world needs to completely stop plastic waste from entering the oceans. The un resolution（决议）has no timetable，But ministers at an environmental summit believe it will set the course for much tougher policies and send a clear signal to the business.
Under governments establish an international task force（特别工作组）to advise on fighting what the UN’s ocean chief has described as a world crisis. One controversial issue is the wish to include businesses in the global task force. Ministers say the problem will not be solved without businesses，but green groups point out that some firms in the plastic industry have been against restrictions for decades. Vidar Helgesen，a leading voice in the talks，told BBC News. “The business is listening to markets and seeing how marine litter（海洋垃圾）is becoming a popular concern. It’s possibly the fastest-growing environmental problem and it’s therefore a fast-growing problem for the business. We need to bring on board those companies that want to change things，and then look at taxes and regulations to make more companies act.
Certainly, there has been resistance from plastic firms to the bans. One UN delegate, who did not want to be named, stated that journalists in some countries were being paid by the plastic industry to write stories about job losses following the plastic bag ban. But they did not mention the jobs being created in alternatives, such as labour-intensive work, which provides work for the rural poor. But some governments are standing firm, and the meeting has witnessed individual nations declaring more thorough action against single-use plastic bags.
The UN’s spokesman Sam Barratt told BBC News, “Of course we would have liked to have gone further, but this meetings made real progress. There’s now a sense of urgency and energy behind the issue that we haven’t quite seen before. What is obvious, though, is that the UN can’t solve this problem on its own. We need to do it in partnership with governments, businesses and even individuals.”

A. Plastic waste should be banned on land too.
B. Plastic waste should be recycled by the business.
C. The UN made exact time to stop it entering the oceans.
D. The UN may make stricter policies in the future.

D. Most companies want to stop marine life from disappearing.

Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing？How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door？If your awareness is as sharp as it could be，you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination，newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness，But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear；we are numb
（麻木的）to new stimulation（刺激）and new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple，although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began to complain about how cold it would be. We reached the stream and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of “time and” destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed for a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit or to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.”
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the prospects, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
5. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3
A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.
B. To stop complaining all the time.
C. To follow the teacher’s advice.
D. To admit mistakes honestly.
6. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they ______.
A. are very patient in their observation
B. are really fascinated by nature
C. care only about the names of birds
D. question the accuracy of the field guides
7. why do the hikers take no notice of the surroun-dings during the journey
A. The natural beauty isn’t charming to them.
B. They focus on arriving at the campground in time.
C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
8. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ______.
A. use our senses to feel the wonders of the world
B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life
C. open our mind to new things and ideas
D. try our best to protect nature
Ⅱ. 七选五
