DEALING WITH WASTE PLASTIC
Every year people throw away millions of tonnes of plastic bottles, boxes and wrapping. These create huge mountains of waste 【C1】______ are extremely hard to get 【C2】______ of. Now, a new recycling process promises to reduce this problem by turning old plastic 【C3】______ new.
Scientists have taken 【C4】______ long time to develop their ideas because waste plastic has always been a bigger problem 【C5】______ substances like waste paper. You can bury plastic, but it is years 【C6】______ it breaks down. If you burn it, it just becomes another form. of pollution. A 【C7】______ products, for example bottles, can be re-used but it is expensive or difficult to do this 【C8】______ a lot of plastic products.
Now a group of companies has developed a new method 【C9】______ recycling that could save almost 【C10】______ plastic waste. The advantage of the new process is that nearly every type of waste plastic can be used: it does 【C11】______ have to be sorted. In addition, labels and ink may be left 【C12】______ the products. Everything is simply mixed together 【C13】______ heated to more than 400 degrees centigrade 【C14】______ that it melts. It is then cooled, producing a waxy substance that can be used to make new plastic products such as bags, bottles and, among 【C15】______ things, computer hardware.

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: Exporters are going to have to change if they hope to penetrate the large European markets. The European Union (EU) has launched a two-sided attack on packaging waste. It wants both to decrease sharply the amount of packaging waste that is generated and to increase the level of recycling necessary packaging. To accomplish these objectives, two key targets have been established. First, by 1998, 60 percent of package waste by weight has to be recoverable for recycling or other uses and by 2003, the percentage to reach 90.
The second target requires that more than 10 percent by weight of the waste remains to be disposed of (e.g. in landfills). The individual EU countries are free to determine on their own by what methods they want to achieve these targets and how they will finance these necessary waste recovery infrastructures. Most countries will place the largest part of burden on those manufacturing, using, or selling packaging. Marketers have been encouraged to adopt the four environmentally correct redesign, reduce, reuse, and recycle. Germany, which has been the front-runner in issue, requires producers, importers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers to take packaging from their customers to use or recycling independently of the public waste disposal system. These criteria will directly affect U.S. and other exporters seeking markets in Europe. If packaging of exports does not meet the EU requirements, products may be denied entry. Exporters to the EU will seek out distributors with experience in dealing wfth waste management requirements. While the system is a burden, it offers some benefits. Cutting down on packaging can save on materials and shipping costs.
