26、Bacteria Show New Ways to Recycle Plastic

Recently, researchers have reported on new ways to break down different kinds of plastic. The new development could lead to easier, high-quality recycling, and help deal with harmful plastic pollution.

The world is drowning (淹没) in plastic, but only about 9% of plastic products are ever recycled. Every year, over 7,720 billion kilograms of plastic finds its way into the world’s oceans. But bacteria may help recycle, even when humans don’t. Bacteria are tiny living things — so small that you need a microscope to see them. Bacteria feed themselves in many different ways. Some bacteria can “eat” other things by changing the chemicals in those things into something that will help the bacteria grow.

The secret to this is enzymes (酶). Bacteria use enzymes to cause chemical changes. Enzymes can work like a pair of scissors, breaking apart other materials.

Most people know about PET plastic. It’s used in water and soda bottles. About 63.5 billion kilograms are produced every year. Most PET is thrown away, but even when it’s recycled, it can’t be made into new bottles. Usually it’s turned into products like carpets.

In 2012, in some decaying (腐烂的) leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly breaks apart PET plastic. Years later, scientists working at the French company Carbios chose LCC from nearly 100,000 enzymes. It was the best at breaking down PET.

But the scientists wanted to improve LCC. They studied the enzyme and the way it attacked the PET. By testing thousands and thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they came up with a new kind of LCC. The new kind can eat through PET very quickly and it can even survive (存活) at higher temperatures.

The process turns the PET plastic back into the materials that it was made from. Those materials can then be used again to make new bottles or other products.

The researchers tested their new LCC against the original (原先的) enzyme, and were impressed with the results. When the conditions were just right, the new enzyme was able to break up 90% of the PET in just 10 hours. The original enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke up half of the PET.

【1】What can we learn about bacteria?

A．They can be seen without microscopes.

B．They can break apart other materials directly.

C．They use enzymes wo cause physical changes in things.

D．They are tiny creatures that feed on unusual forms of “food”.

【2】LCC to enzyme is like ________.

A．key to door

B．right to left

C．rose to flower

D．egg to chick

【3】What can LCC do to PET plastic?

A．It can make PET plastic much harder than before.

B．It can make PET plastic no longer a serious pollutant.

C．It can change PET plastic into tiny living things.

D．It can prevent PET plastic from breaking down.

【4】Thanks to LCC, PET plastic could be recycled by ________.

A．being turned back into the materials it was made from

B．being thrown away in some decaying lcaves

C．being remade into a new kind of soda

D．being put under high temperatures

【5】What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A．It’s very expensive to get LCC from the decaying leaves.

B．With LCC, PET plastic will be used more widely in making products.

C．More and more PET plastic find its way into the oceans because of LCC.

D．The original enzyme can break down the PET plastic more quickly than LCC.
