问题     Supermarkets, retailers and drinks companies should be forced to
pay significantly more towards the recycling of the plastic packaging
they sell, an influential committee of MPs has said.
    Members of the Environmental Audit Committee called for a
societal change in the UK to reduce the 7. 7bn plastic water bottles used
each year, and embedded a culture of carrying reusable containers which【S1】________
are refilled at public water fountains and restaurants, cafes, sports
centres and fast food outlets.
    British consumers use 13bn plastic bottles a year, but only 7. 5bn
are recycled. MPs said the introduction of a plastic bottle deposit return
scheme (DRS) was key to reduce plastic waste in the UK, as part of a【S2】________
series of measures to reduce littering and increase recycling rates.
Michael Gove, the environment secretary, has called for evidence on
plastic bottle deposit scheme, and it is expected to be part of measures【S3】________
he announced in the new year. Major retailers have not yet announced to
support such a scheme, and Iceland and the Co-op recently announced【S4】________
their backing for the DRS.  The report publishing on Friday underlines【S5】________
the need for government intervention to tackle with plastic waste in the【S6】________
UK and calls for higher charges on companies to attribute to clearing up【S7】________
the waste they create.  Mary Creagh,  a chair of the Environmental【S8】________
Audit Committee, said, " Urgent action is needed to protect our
environment from the devastated effects of marine plastic pollution,【S9】________
which, unless it continues to rise at current rates, will outweigh fish by【S10】________
2050. Plastic bottles make up a third of all plastic pollution in the sea
and are a growing litter problem on UK beaches. We need action at
individual, council, regional and national levels to turn back the plastic tide. " [br] 【S2】
选项
答案 reduce—reducing
解析 非谓语动词错误。该句中的be key to doing sth．为固定搭配，意为“是做某事的关键”，这里的to是介词，其后应接名词或动名词，故将reduce改为reducing。
