(D)unresolved請依下文回答第46 題至第50 題：While “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” is a term often used by the media, it does not paint an accurate picture of themarine debris problem in the North Pacific Ocean. Marine debris concentrates in various regions of the North Pacific,not just in one area. The exact size, content, and location of the “garbage patches” are difficult to accurately predict.The name “Pacific Garbage Patch” is not visible with satellite or aerial photographs. While higher concentrationsof litter items can be found in this area, much of the debris is actually small pieces of floating plastic that are notimmediately evident to the naked eye.The entire Great Pacific Garbage Patch is bounded by the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The circular motion ofthe gyre draws debris into this stable center, where it becomes trapped. While many different types of trash enter theocean, plastics make up the majority of marine debris for two reasons. First, plastic’s durability, low cost, and malleabilitymean that it’s being used in more and more consumer and industrial products. Second, plastic goods do not biodegradebut instead, break down into smaller pieces. It is possible to sail through “garbage patch” areas in the Pacific and seevery little or no debris on the water’s surface. Debris found in any region of the ocean can easily be ingested by marinespecies causing choking, starvation, and other impairments.Cleaning up marine debris is not as easy as it sounds. Many microplastics are the same size as small sea animals,so nets designed to scoop up trash would catch these creatures as well. Even if we could design nets that would just catchgarbage, the size of the oceans makes this job far too time-consuming to consider. Besides, it is not likely that any countrywill pay the expensive bill.✓ 正解✕ 你選的
