The Truth About Plastic
By BRYAN WALSH Thursday, July 10, 2008 (Time magazine)
If you know where to find a good plastic-free shampoo, can you tell Jeanne Haegele? Last September, the 28-year-old Chicago resident 62. resolved to cut plastics out of her life. The marketing coordinator was concerned about 63. what the chemicals coming out of some common types of plastic might be doing to her body. She was also worried about the damage all the plastic 64. rubbish was doing to the environment. So she 65. hopped on her bike and rode to the nearest grocery store to see what she could find that didn't 66. include plastic. "I went in and 67. barely bought anything," Haegele says. She did 68. purchase some canned food and a carton (紙盒) of milk---69. only to discover later that both containers were 70. lined with plastic resin(樹(shù)脂). "Plastic," she says, "just seemed like it was in everything."
She's right. Back in the 1960s, plastic was well 71. on its way to becoming a staple of American life. The U.S. produced 28 million tons of plastic waste in 2005--27 million tons of which 72. ended up in landfills. Our food and water come 73. wrapped in plastic. It's used in our phones and our computers, the cars we drive and the planes we ride in. But the 74. infinitely adaptable substance has its dark side. Environmentalists fret about the petroleum needed to make it. Parents worry about the possibility of 75.toxic chemicals making their way from 76. household plastic into children's bloodstreams. Which means Haegele isn't the only person trying to cut plastic out of her life--she isn't 77. even the only one blogging about this kind of 78. endeavor. But those who've tried know it's 79. far from easy to go plastic-free. "These things seem to be so common 80. that it is practically impossible to avoid coming into 81. contact with them," says Frederick vom Saal, a biologist at the University of Missouri.
本文摘自2008年《美國(guó)時(shí)代周刊》7月10日科技版,標(biāo)題為The Truth About Plastic,由環(huán)保主義者Jeanne Haegele如何在生活中發(fā)現(xiàn)無(wú)塑料制品的舉動(dòng)引申到對(duì)塑料制品的思考。
62. 介詞搭配題。第一段開(kāi)頭提出問(wèn)題:如果你知道哪兒能找到一種非塑料包裝的洗發(fā)液,你能告訴Jeanne Haegele嗎?接著引出去年9月,這位28歲的芝加哥居民決心不在日常生活中使用塑料制品。resolve to do sth. 決定做某事,recover和from搭配,重新獲得…;remove… form 移開(kāi),免除…; retreat 撤退,退卻,均不符合題意。
63. 本題缺少一個(gè)連接詞構(gòu)成介詞+賓語(yǔ)形式,根據(jù)句意判斷,這里是常見(jiàn)塑料制品化學(xué)物質(zhì)對(duì)可能會(huì)對(duì)人體產(chǎn)生的影響,應(yīng)用what。
64. 該題比較簡(jiǎn)單,根據(jù)上下文不難推斷,這里是指塑料垃圾也會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)境產(chǎn)生危害。
65. 這里考查固定搭配。hop on 跳上…。
66. 根據(jù)前文,她跳上自行車去百貨商店尋找不含塑料的商品。consist of sth.組成…; induce 誘導(dǎo),引起;compose 構(gòu)成,組成,與要表達(dá)的意義相反。
67. 根據(jù)文章和常識(shí)可推斷出,不含塑料成分的商品很少,因此她幾乎買不到不含塑料的制品。此外,句末的anything也提示前面要用一個(gè)否定含義的詞語(yǔ),因此選barely。
68. 和上句的bought對(duì)應(yīng),這里應(yīng)該填purchase,“她沒(méi)買到…,她確實(shí)買到了….”;pursue 繼續(xù),從事,追趕; preserve 保存,保護(hù),維護(hù); prescribe 開(kāi)藥方。
69. 考查only to結(jié)構(gòu)。她買到了罐裝的食品和盒裝牛奶,卻發(fā)現(xiàn)外包裝也是含有塑料樹(shù)脂的。only to 結(jié)果是,不料竟會(huì),表轉(zhuǎn)折。
70. 考查短語(yǔ)意義。be lined with給某物安襯里;做內(nèi)襯;這里指罐裝食品和盒裝牛奶的包裝內(nèi)層是塑料樹(shù)脂。
71. 考查固定搭配。on one’s way to…在…的途中。
72. 考查固定短語(yǔ)意義。end up in 以…告終;以…結(jié)束,尤指經(jīng)歷了一長(zhǎng)段路程或過(guò)程。這里指垃圾2700萬(wàn)垃圾都被填埋在垃圾填埋場(chǎng)里。
73. 詞義辨析。這里舉例說(shuō)明20世紀(jì)60年代,塑料制品在美國(guó)人的日常生活中屢見(jiàn)不鮮,食品和水都采用塑料包裝。wrap 包,纏繞;adopt 采取,接受;adapt 使適應(yīng),改變;trap 誘捕,使陷入困境。
74. 根據(jù)上下文意義,這里需要填寫一個(gè)說(shuō)明塑料制品的性質(zhì)的副詞。依次代入各選項(xiàng),infinitely是可無(wú)限再利用,符合題意。
75. 跟上題一樣,這里需要填入形容詞說(shuō)明塑料制品的性質(zhì)。父母?jìng)儞?dān)憂塑料制品有毒性,因此選toxic。
76. 本題有一定難度,詞義辨析。家長(zhǎng)們擔(dān)憂塑料制品有毒,會(huì)從家庭用品進(jìn)入孩子們的血液循環(huán),household比f(wàn)amily更地道合適。
77. 考查考生對(duì)上下文關(guān)系的理解。這里說(shuō)Haegele不是唯一一個(gè)擯棄塑料制品的人,后半句遞進(jìn),說(shuō)明她甚至不是第一個(gè)寫博客記錄這種努力的人。
78. 根據(jù)上題的闡釋,Haegele的行為只是一種努力,不是出于勤奮,也不是娛樂(lè),也并沒(méi)有取得一定的成就。因此選endeavor。
79. 考查固定搭配。根據(jù)全文意義可推斷,塑料制品在我們的生活中如此普遍,要做到不使用塑料制品絕非易事,far from… 遠(yuǎn)非…。
80. 考查so…that固定搭配。本題為送分題,不做過(guò)多解釋。
81. 考查固定短語(yǔ)搭配。come into contact with 接觸到。
總之,今年六級(jí)的完型填空,涉及4處名詞,1處介詞,7處動(dòng)詞,1處形容詞和5處連詞,2個(gè)副詞。有一定難度,第76題較難,其余部分只要在句子內(nèi)部或者句子之間進(jìn)行上下文邏輯比對(duì)或語(yǔ)法搭配,即可完成。詞義辨析和短語(yǔ)搭配考查較多,因此,考生要特別注意六詞匯的積累、掌握和運(yùn)用。
