22、Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or apiece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A land of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

23、 The Atlanta-based Coca-Cola company is cooperating with a Danish company to create a 100% recyclable soda bottle.
Plastic is one of the biggest polluters in our environment. And Coca-Cola was named the world's number one plastic polluter in 2020. It is the most frequently littered plastic bottle in 51 out of 55 countries!
While plastic is incredibly useful, it is also unfamiliar to Earth. The bacteria in the soil cannot degrade (降解) plastic back into carbon dioxide and water, because it cannot recognize the molecules (分子) in plastic. This is not the only issue. When plastic eventually does degrade, thanks to the sun, it releases greenhouse gas emissions and harmful chemicals into the environment, only worsening the climate issues already present.
Coca-Cola has finally responded to growing concerns, one of which is to replace the plastic bottle with a paper bottle.
Creating a paper bottle is challenging. The paper bottle must still follow the same safety standards as the plastic bottles. Another issue is the possibility of paper flaking into the liquid.
The first paper bottle will be tested in Hungary this summer. The bottle is made of a single piece of paper-fiber-based material instead of separate parts, which would weaken the bottle. Because paper cannot come into direct contact with the drink, a water-resistant plant-based coating is inside the bottle. There is no clear solution for the paper top yet.
Even if the paper bottles are successful, it will be some time before companies use them to replace cheap and easy-to-produce plastic. Despite this, Coca-Cola's steps towards sustainability are still steps towards a brighter future.
【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The uses of plastic.
B.The trouble with plastic.
C.The degradation process of plastic.
D.The difficulty in degrading plastic.
【2】What do we know about the first paper bottle?
A.It has a waterproof coating.
B.Its separate parts will weaken the bottle.
C.It will go into production before next summer.
D.It is made entirely of paper-fiber-based material.
【3】How does the author feel about the future of Coca-Cola's paper bottles?
A.Unconcerned.
B.Doubtful.
C.Promising.
D.Disappointed.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Say Goodbye to Coca-Cola Bottles
B.Coca-Cola Company's Contributions
C.Plastic, a Threat to Our Environment
D.Coca-Cola May Come in Paper Bottles
