D.Plastic can be turned into carbon dioxide. 解析　主旨大意题。文章中作者首先提出了问题——塑料的回收利用对环境造成污染；其次介绍了一种能消化分解塑料的虫子，并说明研究者期望通过理解和模仿从而最终解决塑料的回收利用对环境造成污染的问题；故说明也许塑料的回收利用不再是问题，故选C。 √ 答案 解析 12 13 11 14 15 D (2017·河东区二模) In the dry Namib Desert on the west coast of Africa，one type of beetle has found a special way of surviving.When the morning fog arrives，the Namib Beetle collects water drops on its bumpy(起伏不平的) back，then lets the water roll down into its mouth，allowing it to drink in an area without flowing water. Shreerang Chhatre wants to use what nature has developed to help the world’s poor.Chhatre is an engineer at MIT who works on fog harvesting，the devices that，like the beetle，attract water drops.This way，poor villagers could collect clean water near their homes，instead of spending hours carrying water from distant wells of rivers. Access to water is a pressing global issue.According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF，nearly 900 million people worldwide live without safe drinking water.The burden of finding and transporting water falls heavily on women and children.“As a middle-class person，I think it’s terrible that the poor have to spend hours a day walking just to obtain a basic necessity，”Chhatre says. A fog-harvesting device consists of a fence-like mesh panel(网状面板)，which attracts drops，connected to containers into which water falls.Chhatre has improved the materials used in these devices.He is continuing his work at MIT Sloan and the Legatum Center in order to develop a workable business plan for applying fog-harvesting devices. Interest in fog harvesting dates back to the 1990s，and has increased since new research on the Namib Beetle became famous in 2001.A few technologists saw potential in the concept for people.One Canadian charitable organization，FogQuest，has tes
