new report has found that the world is in a "plastics crisis (危机)". Plastics are making people ill and harming Earth, it said. The report came out in an important medical magazine.
Plastic is a huge problem because we produce so much of it. However, most of the plastic is not reused. It is thrown away, burned or ends up in landfills, sending harmful chemicals into the air, soil or rivers. Plastics have more than 16,000 chemicals in them, some of which are harmful to many living things.
Plastic is light, cheap to produce and very useful. *However, the report said that plastic might not seem so cheap when we think about its harm to people and Earth. The report found that plastic leads to at least £1.1 trillion万亿 in health costs each year.
Today, about 8 billion tonnes of plastic waste pollutes Earth—from the highest mountaintop to the floor of the deepest ocean. Single-use things, such as cups and bags, are a big part of the problem, and scientists have found very tiny pieces of plastic in every wildlife system, as well as in human bodies.
In 2022, many countries agreed that they would work towards a treaty to fight plastic pollution. A treaty is an agreement between countries. This means the countries have to follow it.

一本重要的医学杂志报告警示全球面临“塑料危机”。塑料产量大、回收低，释放1.6万种化学物质，致每年1.1万亿英镑医疗成本，污染遍布地球。多国制定条约应对该问题。
1. D 行文方式题。由第一段第一句可知，一份新报告指出，全球正处于“塑料危机”之中。由此可推知，本文以介绍一份报告开头。
2. C 推理判断题。由第三段可知，当考虑到塑料对人类和地球的危害时，它就不那么便宜了，塑料每年造成的医疗成本至少达1.1万亿英镑。由此可推知，第三段向我们展示了塑料的成本很高。
3. D 推理判断题。由第四段最后一句可知，科学家已在各类野生动物系统以及人类体内均发现了非常微小的塑料颗粒。由此可推知，在第四段首句提及“约80亿吨塑料垃圾”的目的在于证实塑料污染是一个严重问题。
4. C 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，多国同意制定协议应对塑料污染问题。由此可推知，接下来，最有可能发生的是各国将会制定减少塑料使用的法律。
5. B 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出话题，地球面临塑料危机；第二、三、四段分别展开叙述塑料危害产生的原因、使用塑料造成的经济损失，以及塑料对生物造成的危害；最后一段展望未来，提出各国应对塑料污染采取的行动。
