A recent reprt revealed that, in the US alne, 27 millin tns f plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but nly 3. 1 millin tns were recycled. Wrldwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% f plastic being recycled. The statistics are even wrse fr certain types f plastic. Fr example, ut f 80,000 tns f plystyrene(聚苯乙烯) cntainers generated in the United States, nly a small amunt (less than 5,000 tns) was recycled.
Nw, researchers at The University f Queensland have fund a species f wrm with an appetite fr plystyrene culd be the key t plastic recycling n a mass scale. The superwrm can eat thrugh plystyrene, thanks t a bacterial enzyme(酶) in their gut. T study hw superwrms react t purely plastic fd, researchers brke up 135 f the creatures int three teams: ne was fed nly w heat bran(麸皮), anther was fed nly plastics, and the third was given nthing.
“We fund the bran-fed wrms have been significantly healthier than the plastic-fed r starved wrms, mre than dubling their weight ver the three weeks they have been mnitred. Thugh the plastic-fed wrms made less impressive gains, they still put n mre weight than the starved wrms,” Dr. Rinke said.“This suggests the wrms can get energy frm plastics, mst likely with the help f their gut micrbes.”
Researchers used a technique called metagenmics t find several encded enzymes with the ability t degrade(降低) plystyrene. The lng-term gal is t engineer enzymes t degrade plastic waste in recycling plants.
“Superwrms are like mini recycling plants, eating the plystyrene and then feeding it t the bacteria in their gut,”Dr. Rink e said. It's hped this bi-upcycling will prmte plastic waste recycling and reduce landfills. Researchers said they aim t grw the gut bacteria in the lab and further test its ability t degrade plystyrene. Then they can lk int hw t upscale this prcess t a level required fr an entire recycling plant.
32. What prblem d the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate?
A. Landfills are prly managed.
B. It takes a lng time fr plastic waste t break up.
C. Many plastic cntainers are f pr quality.
D. The rate f recycled plastics are very lw.
33. Hw d researchers cnduct the study n superwrms?
A. By making a cmparisn. B. By cllecting data.
C. By intrducing a cncept. D. By referring t a previus study.
34. What can we infer frm Dr Rinke's wrds?
A. Superwrms culd survive n nly eating plystyrene.
B. Superwrms shwed little interest in wheat bran.
C. Plastic-fed wrms had an bvius increase in weight.
D. Bran-fed wrms had a lnger lifespan than plastic-fed wrms.
35. What d researchers plan t d?
A. Cnduct experiments n ther wrm species.
B. Imprve gut bacteria's ability t degrade plastics.
C. Raise superwrms n a mass scale t slve plastic pllutin.
D. Apply the bi-upcycling technlgy t recycling plants.
