(2019·

北京海淀区模拟

)How many times have you gone outside only to get your foot

stuck

in

chewing

gum

(

口

香

糖

)

on

the

sidewalk

，

or

discovered

a

mass

of

Bubbalicious

beneath

a

table

or

desk?

As

far

as

environmental

pollution

goes

，

chewing

gum

is

far

from

our

largest

problem

—

but

，

for

the

average

pedestrian

，

it

could well be among the most annoying.

Chewing gum causes plenty of messes for local governments

，

people leave

their used gum on sidewalks

，

it’s up to cities to

pay for clean-

up efforts: in the United

Kingdom

，

it costs about 150 million pounds (231.735 million US dollars) every year

to cover the costs of removing the sticky gum from public walkways and facilities(

设

施

)

．

But 25-

year-

old Anna Bullus has come up with a solution that could turn those used

pieces of bright pink gum a lovely shade of spent eight months collecting

old gum and working with it in a lab

，

eventually creating a ball from the material

，

which

she

mixed

with

other

materials

to

create

the

Bullus

Recycled

Gum

Polymer

(BRGP)

．

“

Yes

，

everyone

thought

I

was

mad

and

a

little

bit

disgusting

，”

she

told

The

Guardian

.But

Bullus’

effort

has

paid

off:

she’s

used

the

BRGP

to

create

pink

bubble-

shaped bins(

垃圾箱

) which can be used to

collect

used pieces of gum

.She’s

set up her “bubble bins” around Orpington College as a trial

，

but hopes to roll them

out in more locations before the bins are full

，

both the bins and the gum

inside them will be recycled to produce more BRGP

—

at which point

，

the possibilities

are almost endless.

“

The

amazing

thing

is

that

you

can

use

it

for

any

plastic

product

，”

Bullus

said.

“

I’d love to do some water?proof boots

，

for boots

，

in fact.

”

细节理解题。根据第三段中的

“

collecting

old

gum

and...the

Bullus

Recycled

Gum

Poly mer(BRGP)

”

可知，

BRGP

是一种把用过的口香糖和其他物质

混合制成的混合物；再根据第 四段结尾的

“

Once

the

bins

are

full...are

almost

endless

”

可知，这些材料是可以回收再利用的。故选
