【解析】

本文主要讲了塑料吸管引起的环境卫生问题让一个九岁的小男孩很重视,他由此发起了一项运动,倡导大家用可循环使用的吸管材料,保护环境。

1句意:所以每年我们都有大量的塑料吸管要清理。

cleaned动词过去式或过去分词形式;cleaning动名词;to clean动词不定式;clean动词原形。sb. have sth. to do意为某人有.......事情要做。前文提及因为塑料吸管太小了,它们被扔得到处都是并且几乎从不回收。可知,有大量的塑料吸管等待回收。推断题干意为因此每年我们有大量的塑料吸管要回收。故选C

2句意:米洛·克雷斯(Milo Cress)是一个9岁的男孩,他在美国发起了一项名为“无吸管”的运动。

9-years-old表述错误;9-year-old词组,作定语;9 years old九岁;9 year old表述错误。表示年龄可用短语sb of+数词+years old,故选C

3句意:这似乎是一种巨大的浪费。

change改变;hope希望;waste浪费;surprise惊讶。前文提及每一天,美国人扔掉五亿根塑料吸管。五亿根,数量特别巨大,已经是一种浪费了。推断题干意为这看起来是一种巨大的浪费。故选C

4句意:许多人同意,很快就有更多的餐厅加入了进来。

took part 指的是参加会议或群众活动等。强调句子的主体参与活动,并在活动中发挥作用,后面不加宾语;joined in加入,其后要接宾语;took part in 参加,其后要接宾语;attended是正式用语,是及物动词,意思是参加会议、婚礼、典礼、去上课、上学、听报告等。空格前为主语more restaurants,推断空格为不接宾语的非及物动词。故选A

5句意:但仍有一些人需要用吸管

So因此;Because因为;But但是;Although尽管。前文提及很多餐馆加入不提供塑料吸管的行列,空格后提及有一些人仍然需要使用吸管,前后形成转折,填入But,表示但是。故选C

6句意:我们鼓励人们选择对环境、野生动物和人类危害较小的其他可重复使用的材料。

too太;much太;more更多的;less更少的。空格前提及我们鼓励人们选择可循环使用的材料,空格后提及对环境、野生动物和人类有害,推断题干意为我们鼓励用对环境、野生动物和人类伤害尽量少的可循环利用的材料。故选D

7句意:一位残疾人写信告诉我,他随身携带了可重复使用的吸管——它们是钢制的。

he他,主格;him他,宾格;himself他自己;his他的。with表示伴随状态,其后接宾语,故填入him,指代这位残疾人。故选B

8句意:去年,大型酒吧连锁店决定使用纸质吸管,而不是塑料吸管。

one一个;ones one之复数 the one那一个;the ones代指那些。空格前提及去年,大连锁酒吧韦瑟斯盘斯决定使用纸质吸管而不是塑料的…….,推断填入ones指代前文出现过的straws,意为塑料吸管。故选B

9句意:据调查,这每年将节省7000万根塑料吸管。

As for至于;According to根据;Such as比如;Instead of相反。空格后为一项调查,后文提及调查的具体内容,即一年将会有7千万的塑料吸管产生,推断题干意为根据一项调查。故选B

10句意:在那之后,全国各地许多规模较小的酒吧连锁店紧随其后。

across穿过;between......之间;near......附近;behind......后面。词组across the country意为全国各地。空格前提及很多小的连锁酒吧,空格后提及国家,前后形成所属关系,结合词组across the country,推断题干以为全国的连锁小酒吧接着说。故选A

【题目】 We all know vacations (假期) are good for our health. But which kind of vacation is better: one long vacation or several short ones? Here is information from research studies about the benefits (好处) of each kind of vacation.

The benefits of a long vacation

International travel has big benefits. For example, people who travel abroad are more c1 when they come home. When people visit other countries, they discover different ways people live. This results in more ways of thinking and better problem solving.

Some studies show that people do not sleep well until day two or three of their vacation. After day two or day three, they sleep well for the w2 vacation. They also sleep well for one week after the vacation. A long vacation means better sleep for more days.

Traveling on vacation can be stressful. It takes time and money to travel. If you have a long vacation, you get more days of relaxation for your days of travel stress.

If there is a problem at work during your vacation, your coworkers (同事) are more likely to take care of the problem. They are not likely to wait for you. The result? You have l3 work when you come back. The benefits of short vacations:

Studies discovered that people enjoy p4 their vacation as much as they enjoy taking the vacation. If you decide to take your short vacations a year, you can experience the fun of making arrangements for four different times.

Many people do not call the office during a short vacation. People on long vacations are more likely to check email and worry about work. For example, France has the highest number of vacation days (an average of 30 days a year). It a5 has the highest number of people (93%) who check their work email.

Vacations improve our a6 to our lives, our families, and ourselves. When we get back to work, we quickly forget all those positive (积极的) feelings. Taking several short a year helps you feel positive about your life more often.

We are busy all the time. It is difficult to find a complete week when everyone can go on vacation. A short vacation is easier to fit in to our busy s7 . The busier we are, the more important it is to connect with friends and family on vacation.
