Choose the word or phrase that best fits the blank space in the passage.
Many parents believe that they should begin to teach their children to read when they are scarcely more than toddlers. This is fine if the child shows a real interest but forcing a child could be counter-productive if she isn't ready. Wise parents will have a relaxed attitude and take the lead from their children. What they should provide is a selection of toys, books and other activities. Nowadays there is plenty of good available for young children, and of course, seeing plenty of books in use about the house will also encourage them to read.
Of course, books are no longer the only source of stories and information. There is also a huge range of videos, which can reinforce and extend the pleasure a child finds in a book and are valuable in helping to increase vocabulary and concentration. Television gets a bad review as far as children are concerned, mainly because too many spend too much time watching programs not intended for their age group. Too many television programs induce an incurious, uncritical attitude that is going to make learning much more difficult. , approved viewing of programs designed for young children can be useful. Just as adults enjoy reading a book after seeing it serialized on television, so children will pounce on books which feature their favorite television characters and videos can add a new dimension a story known from a book.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
In modern times, plastic pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems facing the world's oceans. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste are produced globally, especially PET plastic used in single-use drink bottles. Unfortunately, a large amount of this waste eventually flows into the sea, causing serious damage to marine life. For a long time, scientists believed that this artificial material would remain in the environment forever, since it does not break down easily on its own.
However, in 2016, a team of researchers in Japan made an important discovery at a plastic bottle recycling facility. While collecting samples of contaminated sediment, they identified a previously unknown bacterium named Ideonella sakaiensis that naturally consumes PET plastic. To do this, the organism produces special enzymes called PETase. These enzymes are able to break down the tough chemical structure of the plastic waste. After digesting the material, the bacteria convert the plastic into basic energy, which they use to survive and grow.
Although this biological method shows great potential, the natural breakdown process is currently very slow, taking several weeks to digest even a tiny piece of plastic. For this reason, scientists around the world are now trying to modify these bacteria so that they can work much faster. In addition, another major challenge is water temperature, since ocean water is significantly colder than the controlled conditions of a laboratory, which may slow the bacteria's activity even further. Despite these practical challenges, researchers remain optimistic that these organisms could eventually offer a natural solution to global plastic pollution.
Which sentence best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
According to the passage, what happens after the bacteria produce PETase enzymes?
The enzymes break down the plastic, and the bacteria use it as energy.
The bacteria digest the plastic first, and the enzymes are produced afterward.
The enzymes break down the plastic, but the bacteria store it instead of using it as energy.
The word "modify" in paragraph 3 is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.
According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT _____.
PET plastic is commonly used to produce single-use beverage bottles
the bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis was found out at a recycling facility
the bacteria can digest large quantities of plastic waste in just a few days
What can be inferred about the bacteria's performance in the ocean compared to a laboratory?
It would likely work more slowly in the ocean than in a lab.
It would completely stop working once placed in ocean water.
It would work at exactly the same speed in both environments.
