26、S,found that oil and gas companies the makers of plastic have known that all along, even as they spent millions of dollars telling the American public the opposite. The plastics industry officials said the industry is providing money for new technology that they believe will get recycling plastic up

27、 to scale. The goal, they said, is to recycle 100% of the plastic they make in 5 years.But the more plastic is recycled, the less money the industry will make by selling new plastic. And those profits have become increasingly important. Companies have told shareholders (股东) that profits from using o

29、xpected to rise three times by 2050, and once again, the industry is spending money onadvertisementsand public relations to promote plastic recycling.Plastic is now more common than its ever been and harder to recycle.

Why are poorer people less likely to spend money on their own learning and ability development, but more likely to be addicted to television and video games?In the past, a poor person wa

34、s normally considered to have bad virtue or have no ambition. The Nobel Prize winner Banerjee corrects such views and explains the truth behind the poor. Poor people tend to live with more worries in their lives, he said, so they need tools such as televisions, cell phones, junk food and video games

35、 to get rid of worries more than others. But learning something often takes a lot of time and money to get rewards, while the poor are often impatient due to economic (经济的) reasons, and their life in the meantime is getting more boring.Banerjees research has found that the poor often need to borrow

36、short-term loans (贷款) Thus, the poor tend to take higher financial risks - they often have unstable incomes and are unable to get money to start a business from banks, so they rely more on these high-interest loans. And these small loans put a brake on their savings against risks. How could the poor

37、 step into the middle class? Maybe starting a business is a way out. But for the extremely poor, its impossible to get help from banks to start a business. In most cases, a more practical option is getting a job in government agencies because comparatively speaking, government jobs are very stable,

38、which give the poor the opportunities to be hired for the long term, to increase the “bandwidth (带宽)” of their thinking, and thus making it possible for families to move from poverty to the middle class. Whats the role of government then? When the market cant solve a problem, the government will sol

39、ve it. And the problem behind the poor is actually the failure of the market. The poor often lack the necessary information to make the right choices and they often carry too much responsibility for their survival to make the best choices. In this sense, Banerjees research provides a new perspective

40、 for governments to understand poverty, so that policies can be tailored to reduce poverty and eventually remove it.32. What do the poor need to improve their ability according to Banerjee?A. Ambition. B. Money.C. Guidance. D. Patience.33. What will probably cause the poor to face financial risks? A

41、. The high-interest loans.B. Their small incomes.C. The financial policies.D. Their educational backgrounds.34. What may be a right choice for the poor to get out of poverty?A. Setting a high goal. B. Working as civil servants.C. Opening their mind. D. Seeking support from banks.35. What can the gov

42、ernment do to get rid of poverty?A. Adjust the policy. B. Control the market.C. Do more research.D. Offer enough information.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I dislike making school lunches.
