The idea of billions of people going through a few masks a week during this pandemic definitely rings alarm bells, but a team of rearchers in Melbourne may have the solution.
They've discovered that adding millions of discarded face masks to road-paving (铺路) mixtures would actually lower the cost of the road, while preventing billions of them from landfills. Just one kilometer of road would need three million masks, and the polypropylene (聚丙烯) plastic ud to make single-u surgical face masks also incread the flexibility and durability of the road.
The new material is a mixture of about 2% torn masks, with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA)—a material obtained from waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings. This recycled material was found in the study to be ideal for two of the four layers generally required to create roadways. Paving a kilometer of two-way road with the RCA and three million face masks would result in a change of 93 tons of waste from landfills.
The final product then is more resistant to wear than asphalt (沥青), as well as being cheaper too, provided there was a method for collecting masks. The rearch team did a cost-analysis and found that, at $26 per ton, the RCA was about half the cost of mining raw materials, and as much as a third
of the cost of shipping the ud masks to a landfill.
The widespread application would be ideal for large infrastructure (根底设施) projects. For example, Washington has the 11th worst roads in terms of unaddresd repairs in the U.S. If the damaged roads in
Washington state were repaired with the RCA/mask mixture, it would reu nearly 10 billion masks, sparing American landfills hundreds of millions of tons of trash.
It's said that the team is looking for private industry partners or governments willing to give their plastic mask road an opportunity for a large-scale test.
〔1〕What does the underlined word "discarded" mean in paragraph 2?
A.Recycled.
B.Produced.
C.Mixed.
D.Abandoned.
〔2〕What is the new material ud to pave ways made of?
A.2% torn masks, concrete and tons of trash.
B.Polypropylene plastic and building materials.
C.Single-u surgical masks and recycled concrete aggregate.
D.Waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings.
〔3〕Why are numbers mentioned in paragraph 5?
A.To tell us what the team has found.
B.To prove this material is cost-effective in paving roads.
C.To explain repairing roads costs a lot of materials.
D.To prai the hard work the team has done.
〔4〕What can we learn from the text?

Buying clothes for a special event, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of economical shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.土豆丝汤的做法
A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the "outfit (装束) of the day" makes it online, they return it to the store. According to Barclaycard, the "try before you buy" policy of online retailers (零售商) where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home could be contributing to this rising trend.
But the ri of social media has meant that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we're documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgment, getting caught
in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all tho outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.
