5.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段"It'simportanttodosomethingbeforeplogging”，結合下文提到“先做一些平衡練

習”“必須注意周圍的人“，可知雖然已經(jīng)準備好了，但仍然需要注意自己的安全，故選C。

Passage3(2021?福建?廈門一中模擬預測)

題意：介紹紙制品不比塑料產(chǎn)品更環(huán)保的原因，并且使用紙制品對環(huán)境和商家來說是“雙輸”的結果，所以

【答案】

11.C12.D13.C14.B15.C

【分析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了紙制品不比塑料產(chǎn)品更環(huán)保的原因，并且使用紙制品對環(huán)境和商家來

說是“雙輸”的結果，所以作者認為最環(huán)保的做法是完全避免使用一次性物品。

11.最佳標題題。根據(jù)“Governmentsaroundtheworldarepushingforanendtoplasticstrawsandbags....is

harmfultotheenvironment作者認為使用紙張和塑料對環(huán)境都沒有好處，因此此處填寫兩者都不。故

選C。

12.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“Firstly,paperbagsandstrawsaremadefromtrees.”可知，紙張的來源是樹木，紙張的

使用增加就會需要砍伐更多的樹木。故選D。

13.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“ittakesevenmoreenergyandwatertogothroughtherecyclingprocessthantomakea

brandnewpaperbag.Productsmadefromrecycledpaperarealsooftenshort-lived.“可知,回收的紙張制成的產(chǎn)

品壽命短，并且與制作一個全新的紙袋相比，回收過程需要更多的能源和水。因此②③的描述正確。故選C。

14.推理判斷題。根據(jù)"Seventrucksareneededtotransport2millionpaperbags,whileonlyonetruckisneededto

transportthesamenumberofplasticbags.”可知，運輸200萬個紙袋需要7輛卡車，而運輸相同數(shù)量的塑料袋

只需要一輛卡車。也就是說同樣兩百萬個袋子，運輸紙袋所需的卡車比運輸塑料袋所需的卡車要多6輛。

故選B。

15.推理判斷題。文章主要介紹了紙制品不比塑料產(chǎn)品更環(huán)保的原因，作者認為最環(huán)保的做法是完全避免

使用一次性物品；由此可知作者寫這篇文章是要糾正人們紙制品比塑料產(chǎn)品更環(huán)保的這個錯誤觀念，并且

還建議人們要使用可重復利用的產(chǎn)品，②③符合題意。故選C。
