六、閱讀測驗：15% It’s time to say no to plastic straws. Plastic is not good for the Earth because it takes many years to break down into smaller pieces. Single-use items are things that we use only once and then throw away, like garbage bags, plastic cups, and takeout boxes. Single-use plastic straws are creating a big problem in our world today. They can’t be recycled because they are too light. This means these straws do not get separated from other garbage at recycling dumps, and they even begin to fill up these dumps. As they gradually break down, they separate into very small plastic pieces called microplastics. These microplastics are eaten by birds and sea animals; they stay in their stomachs and can even cause them to die. Microplastics are also eaten by us when we eat the animals that have eaten them, and this can hurt our health. The best way to fix this problem is to stop using single-use plastic straws. When you get a drink, don’t use a straw, or bring your own reusable straw. Little steps can make a big difference in saving our world! （ A ）1. What is the main message of this passage? (A) Stop using plastic straws before it is too late. (B) Using plastic is really good for the environment. (C) Plastic straws help birds and sea creatures to grow. (D) Plastic straws make many things more convenient for us. （ A ）2. which of the following are not single-use items? (A) Steel chopsticks. (C) Garbage bags.
(B) Plastic cups. (D) Takeout boxes.
（ D ）3. According to the passage, which is NOT true about plastic straws? (A) They will fill up our dumps. (B) They can’t be recycled at all. (C) They can cause animals to die. (D) They may improve our health. 4

Part 3：情境式閱讀 Strategy: Identifying Certain Information (Number and Others) Josephine just read an infographic and tell Napoleon what she learned.
Josephine: Napoleon, I’ve just read something about global warming. Napoleon: Oh? What’s that? Josephine: The article said livestock is the number 1 greenhouse gas producer. Napoleon: Really? I thought it would be our means of transportation, like cars and airplanes. Josephine: 49% of all greenhouse gases come from other sources, including transportation. Our greenhouse gases include methane , 37% of which comes from cows. Napoleon: Oh my God! And I love milk and cheese so much! Josephine: If you consume 1/4 of the total amount of milk one cow produces each day, you are consuming what the cow emitted 125 liters methane in producing. Guess by how much you could reduce your carbon footprint in one year if you stopped consuming meat and dairy products? Napoleon: I know, I could reduce it by 1.5 tons. 6
