Module 1　Section Ⅱ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A [2014·浙江省温州市十校联考]Youve bought what you need. The grocery cashier asks, “Will that be paper or plastic? You reply “Plastic, please.” This seems like a simple question and there are plenty of reasons we choose plastic: easier to carry, lighter than paper bags, possibly less damaging to the environment, less expensive to the shop owners, able to be used as trash bag, and so on. There are different opinions on plastic and paper. Now lets follow the travels of 3 plastic bags. It begins at the grocery store with the customers choice. Plastic Bag 1: As the waste engineer come by and pick upP1 the trash, the first plastic bag falls out. It sits on a small street for a couple of hours until a car comes along and takes it down to the road. Then a gust of wind blows it across the road, then another car, then another gust of wind finally makes its way toP2 the beach. Water fills the plastic bag and makes it look like a jellyfish. A seal(海豹) swims by, thinking it looks very interesting, and swallowedW1 it. The plastic bag may stay in the seals stomach for months, maybe years. You see, our lovely animals have been living thousands of years in a world where everything can be eaten. Plastic Bag 2: This bag does make its way to landfill(垃圾场). Before they have a chance to cover upP3 the thousands of pounds of daily waste, a strong wind comes up and blows these plastic bags out of the landfill. Once the wind stops, workers will be sent to collect thousands of bags around. But they cant possibly get them all. So our little bag continues his adventureW2 getting caught inP4 trees, eaten by birds or making its way to our lakes or rivers. Plastic Bag 3: The last bag also blows away but is caught in a landfill where it sits for many years, as all the trash is wrapped in a big plastic bag, making natural degradation(降解) impossible. Although workers do much work to make sure water and air system wont be polluted, some do. Guess what, plastic bags are mad
