But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “StrawpocalypseJ a pair of 1 O-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源)of plastic pollution, but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and. because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate （说明） a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic/' Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped （倾倒）from a truck all at once.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.7.

To find a substitute for them.9. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic have on viewers?A. Calming.B. Disturbing.C. Refreshing.D. Challenging.10. Which of the following can be the best tide for the text?A. Artists5 Opinions on Plastic SafetyB. Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC. Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD. Ocean Plastics Transformed into SculpturesDThree Things We Must Do to Tackle Climate ChangeWith world leaders meeting at the international climate change conference in Glasgow to discuss urgent global action to meet one of the greatest challenges,many people still don't know what must be done. _11_However, the good news we get from the report is that it is not too late to avoid the worst impacts of climate change,if we respond rapidly and decisively.But how?
