问题     You’ve probably heard that our oceans have become a plastic soup. But in fact, of all the plastic that enters Earth’s oceans each year, just 1 percent has been observed floating on the【C1】________So where is the rest of it?
    This "missing" plastic has been a longstanding scientific question. To date, the search has focused on oceanic gyres (环流) such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the bottom of the ocean, and the【C2】________of marine wildlife. But our new research suggests ocean plastic is being transported back onshore and pushed【C3】________onto land away from the water’s edge, where it often becomes trapped in vegetation.
    Of course, plastic has been reported on beaches around the world for decades. But there has been little【C4】________on why and how coastal environments are a sink for marine debris. Our findings have big implications for how we【C5】________ocean plastic.
    We found that the amount of marine debris and where it ends up are【C6】________by onshore wave activity and wind activity. Densely-populated areas and those where the coast was easily【C7】________were hotspots for trapped plastics. Our findings highlight the importance of studying the【C8】________width of coastal areas to better understand how much, and where, debris gets trapped, to inform targeted approaches to managing all this waste.
    Plastic pollution can be reduced through local【C9】________such as water refill stations, rubbish bins, incentives and awareness campaigns.  It can also be reduced through targeted waste management policies to reduce, reuse and recycle plastics. We found container deposit schemes to be a【C10】________effective incentive in reducing marine pollution.
    A) accessible      F) entire         K) particularly
    B) advance        G) estimated     L)  permanently
    C) changes        H) financial      M) stomachs

【C8】
选项
答案F
解析 形容词辨析题。空格前是定冠词the，后面是名词width，因此空格处应填入形容词。如果想对垃圾被困的地方有全面的了解，需要研究的不仅是沙滩，海边的居住区也是研究的范围．因此本空应填入含有“所有，全部”意义的形容词，故本题答案为F)entire。
