10、rlds most important bodies of water and bases of the global economy. But the giant container ship that has been stuck across the waterway sparks a very modern problem: About a tenth of global trade passes through the Suez Canal, and it could be facing a weeks-long blockage.The blockage originates fr
11、om its vital location in geography - the importance of the canal stems first and foremost from its location; it is the only place that directly connects the waters of Europe with the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the countries of the Asia-Pacific. Without the Suez, shipments traveling between th
12、ose parts of the world would have to travel through the entire continent of Africa, adding large amounts of costs and extending their journey time a lot.Dating back to history, caused by French interests and exploration, the Suez was built over the course of 10 years by local peasants forced into la
13、bor. Financial troubles forced the Ottoman governor of Egypt to sell a controlling stake(股份) in the waterway to Britain in 1875; 13 years later, a multinational summit resulted in an agreement that the canal would be free for all countries to use, both in peace and war.Nowadays, more than 80% of glo

This is pro
18、blematic, as at least 700 species of sea animals may mistake it for a tasty snack. While we know that some species seem to eat plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food source, less research has been carried out into what plastic smells like to marine animals.But now, a study from t
19、he University of North Carolina has found that the coating of algae that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the scent of food.The researchers took 15 loggerhead turtles, each around five months old, and placed them in a laboratory tank. They then piped in clean wate
20、r, clean plastic, turtle food, and plastic that had been immersed in the marine environment for five weeks.The turtles showed no reaction to the smell of clean water or clean plastic. But when they were exposed to the smell of ocean-soaked plastic or turtle food, they exhibited food-seeking behavior
21、s like reaching their noses out of the water or showing increasing activities.“This finding is the first demonstration that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them,” said Dr. Kenneth J Lohmann, who took part in the study. Its common to find loggerhead turtles with their digestive syst
22、ems fully or partially blocked because theyve eaten plastic materials. There are also increasing reports of sea turtles that have become ill and stranded on the beach due to their ingestion of plastic.According to the researchers, areas of the ocean with dense concentrations of plastic may trick tur
23、tles and other animals into thinking that there is an abundant food source. Once these plastics are in the ocean, we dont have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food, said Lohmann.8Why is plastic pollution posing a threat to marine animals?AIt may eat up all jellyfish.BIt
24、may mislead them as food.CIt may kill them with its smell.DIt may trap 700 species of sea animals.9What may attract the loggerhead turtles in the laboratory tank to search for food?ASea waterBClear waterCBrand-new plasticDSea-soaked plastic10What can be inferred from Lohmanns words in the last parag
25、raph?ATurtles should be trained to be more intelligent.BPlastics should be kept from getting into the ocean at all.CAn abundant food source should be offered to sea animals.DResearchers should come up with a solution to the current problem.11Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
