Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically

correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other

blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

(A)

Concerns about microplastics are not new. They’ve been growing for more than a decade. Over the past two

years, however, many creative solutions ___1___ (emerge)to address the problem on a local level, ranging from

hoovering beaches to shooting bubbles up from river bottoms. Still, experts say there’s a need for a huge,

coordinated effort ___2___ we want to curb the global issue: The world produces 400 million tons of plastic

annually, and much of that material breaks down into tiny pieces that now pollute our planet.

The term microplastics was coined in 2004 by marine ecologist Richard Thompson after he discovered tiny

bits of plastic littering British beaches. Since then, scientists have found microplastics—fragments less than 5

millimeters wide-nearly everywhere: in the deep sea, in Arctic ice, in the air. Even inside us.

A 2019 study in Environmental Science Technology estimated humans take in up to 100, 000 bits of plastic

each day. It’s not just the physical presence of plastic inside the body ___3___ poses a potential problem; plastic’s

chemical additives might affect different species’ tissues and organs, according to a 2021 study in Environmental

Toxicology and Chemistry. However, there is disagreement in the literature as to how much microplastics ___4___

(harm)species, including humans. Some say larger pieces may pass right through our bodies while the ___5___

(tiny)pieces could enter our cells. More research is needed.

For a global view of this vast issue, some scientists in 2020 created a public database to track plastic removal

innovations. For example, Hong Kong Polytechnic University researchers presented ___6___ unique idea in April

at the Microbiology Society’s Annual Conference: a bacteria biofilm that could attract and trap microplastics at a

wastewater treatment plant, ___7___ they flow into rivers and oceans.
