Aquarius, built off the coast of Florida, U. S., is the world’s only underwater lab. It will allow scientists to better understand the sea. Fabien Cousteau is now planning to build a new undersea lab. It would be set up 18 meters underwater in the Caribbean Sea. It covers an area of 370 square meters.

Scientists have accidentally discovered an enzyme (酶) that can break down plastic drink bottles, which may provide a way to solve the plastic pollution.
At present, one million plastic bottles are sold each minute around the world and only 14% are recycled. Many end up in the rivers and seas where they have polluted the water and harm the wildlife. Now, a new enzyme shows a way to recycle old clear plastic bottles back into new clear plastic bottles. In 2016, the enzyme was discovered in Japan. After making some improvements, tests have shown that it is even better at breaking down the plastic of drinks bottles. The enzyme takes a few days to start breaking down plastic, compared with centuries it takes in the seas. This could reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment.
Although some factories are still waiting and seeing, “I believe the enzyme is a beginning. Some companies are looking at how they can use it to recycle bottles properly, as the public idea changes,” said McGeehan, a researcher at the University of Portsmouth, UK.
Adisa Azapagic, at the University of Manchester, UK, agreed the enzyme could be useful but added: “I hope that more researches are needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem at the cost of others.”
50．How does the writer show the plastic pollution is serious in Paragraph 2?
A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers.
C．By comparing facts. D．By asking questions.
51．What is the advantage of the enzyme?
A．It has been used in new ways.
B．It costs less money to produce.
C．It creates more food for wild animals.
D．It uses less time to break down plastic.
52．What does Adisa Azapagic hope for?
A．Lets use of plastic bottles. B．More animal researches.
C．More tests of the enzyme. D．A newly-built factory.
