【题目】Small and round transparent water bottles filled with natural water could help provide a solution to London's plastic waste problem,according to Skipping Rocks Lab,the company in the British capital that produces them.They added that the balls have been made of plant and seaweed extracts and will decompose(分解)after four to six weeks if not consumed.
With many cities struggling to get rid of vast numbers of used plastic water bottles,the 'Ooho' has begun to meet the thirst of consumers in San Francisco and London.A report published last Thursday said more than 4,000 plastic bottles had been removed from the River Thames in a month last year,proving the scale of the waste problem.
"We think Ooho may not be the solution for all the applications that plastic bottles have,but definitely for short term consumption it could be a solution,"said Rodrigo,the founder of Skipping Rocks Lab.In a trial near London Bridge last Wednesday,Ooho drew a mixture of surprise,amusement and delight among those who sampled them. London's city assembly said Ooho was a step forward."It could be part of the solution but not the only solution.You also need to be able to refill bottles at railway stations for example,"said Leonie Cooper,the Chair of the assembly's environment committee.
The company aims to target,among other consumers,marathon runners,who will be able to eat the Oohos mid-race without concerns about the environment.It is also considering sealing alcohol for a whole new market. "People see these small round bubbles and they just think 'shots'.So that's definitely something we're looking at,"said Skipping Rocks Lab Chief Operating Officer Lise."We have sealed alcohol,we want to perfect it,and hopefully this will be the great change of the future."
【1】'Ooho' can help solve the plastic waste problem because .
A. it is small and transparent B. it is filled with natural water
C. it is made of plant and seaweed D. it can disappear some time later
【2】How is Rodrigo's comment on 'Ooho'?
A. Subjective. B. Unreal.
C. Objective. D. Ridiculous.
【3】In which column can we find the text?
A. Technology and Invention. B. Health and Medicine.

【答案】
【1】D
【2】C
【3】A
【解析】文章介绍了一种帮助解决塑料浪费的方法。
【1】细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容 They added that the balls have been made of plant and seaweed extracts and will decompose(分解)after four to six weeks if not consumed.他们补充说这些小球是由植物和海藻提取物做成,如果不被食用的话它们会在4到6个礼拜之后分解。可知'Ooho'能帮助解决塑料浪费问题是因为它能在一段时间之后消失。故选D。
【2】观点态度题。根据文中Rodrigo的评论"We think Ooho may not be the solution for all the applications that plastic bottles have,but definitely for short term consumption it could be a solution,"我们认为Ooho或许不是所有塑料瓶应用的解决方法,但是对于短期消耗它确实是一个解决方法。可看出Rodrigo对于'Ooho'的评论很客观。故选C。
【3】推理判断题。通读文章,可看出文章介绍的是一种能帮助解决塑料问题的一中新技术,故本文可能出现在“技术发明”栏。故选A。
