Question

【題目】 Should we say no to the plastic straw (塑料吸管)? These days, a heartbreaking video got millions of people to watch on the Internet. In the video, scientists found a dying turtle (海龜) having a 12cm plastic straw in its nose. We always see the beauty of animals, but this video shows us the ugly truth and shakes people up. People have different ideas about whether (是否) we should refuse to use plastic straws to save the environment.

Zhong Yue, 13

Straws are not necessary for enjoying a drink. Saying no to a plastic straw is a way to solve the problem of sea pollution.

Josh, 12

Straws are terrible! The plastic straw washes into rivers, oceans and onto the beaches. Animals sometimes mistake it for food and it can kill them. The coffee-seller Starbucks says it will stop handing out plastic straws in all stores by 2020. With 28,000 stores, that's about 1 million fewer straws a year. A new lid (蓋子) for the cup will take the place of straws. What great news!

【解析】

這篇短文是一篇人類是不是應(yīng)該使用吸管的討論，它們對(duì)我們的環(huán)境造成了嚴(yán)重的污染。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“Zhong Yue, 13 Straws are not necessary for enjoying a drink. Saying no to a plastic straw is a way to solve the problem of sea pollution.”可知，Zhong Yue認(rèn)為對(duì)塑料吸管說(shuō)不，是解決海洋污染問題的一種方法。故選B。

【2】詞句猜測(cè)。根據(jù)上文“The plastic straw washes into rivers” 塑料吸管沖進(jìn)河里及and onto the beaches.”進(jìn)入沙灘。可知，此處oceans的意思是“海洋”。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“Zhong Yue, 13 Straws are not necessary for enjoying a drink….及Josh, 12Straws are terrible! The plastic straw washes into rivers, oceans and onto the beaches….”可知，Zhong Yue和Josh不同意使用吸管。根據(jù)文中“Maria, 14 I believe there is no need to stop using straws.” 瑪麗亞，14歲，我相信沒有必要停止使用吸管�？芍�，Maria同意使用吸管。故選C。

【4】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“If we have the habit of bringing our own cups and reuse the straws, we can also play a part in saving the planet.”如果我們有自備杯子和重新使用吸管的習(xí)慣，我們也可以在拯救地球方面發(fā)揮作用。可知，Maria的主意是，我們可以多次使用吸管，自己拿杯子。故選B。

【5】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“Animals sometimes mistake it for food and it can kill them.” 動(dòng)物有時(shí)會(huì)把它當(dāng)成食物，它會(huì)殺死它們�？芍�選項(xiàng)B“Josh thinks animals might eat plastic straws and die.”是正確的；根據(jù)文中“With 28,000 stores, that's about 1 million fewer straws a year.” 有2.8萬(wàn)家商店，每年減少約100萬(wàn)根吸管�？芍�選項(xiàng)C“Starbucks used about I million straws a year.”是正確的。根據(jù)文中“In the video, scientists found a dying turtle (海龜) having a 12cm plastic straw in its nose.” 在視頻中，科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)一只垂死的海龜鼻子里有一根12厘米長(zhǎng)的塑料吸管�？芍�選項(xiàng)A “A 12cm plastic straw was found in the mouth of a turtle.”說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤的。故選A。
