四、篇章結構        Lund University in Sweden has recently seen a major breakthrough in the search for the alternative to single-useplastic products.   31   It started out when an industrial design student named Pontus Tornqvist sought to target thefast-food industry, a large consumer of plastic cutlery due to the material’s convenience and strength.   32   Evenmore worrying is that millions of them go to landfills and the ocean every day, and their effect is devastating to theenvironment.         33   In the end, he settled on using potato starch. When mixed with water and poured into a mold, the starchdries to a plastic-like consistency.   34   It will decompose in soil within two months. In a sense, they becomefertilizers and nutrients that are sent back to the earth.   35   Actually, any starchy material would work just as well.Though “potato plastic” began as a student project, Tornqvist hopes to see it through and begin professional productionsoon.
【題組】31.
(A) For this alternative, Tornqvist tried and looked at the various forms that plant-based plastics could take.
(B)These plastic dining utensils are only used once, but then it takes centuries for them to break down.
(C) Better yet, the unique properties of starch mean that this type of cutlery doesn’t have to be made from potatoes alone.
(D)The good news is that the new material is 100% biodegradable and thus ecologically friendly.
(E) After use, the 100% plant-based cutlery can be thrown away.
