My first performance in front of the audience was coming up soon.
I tried as hard as I could to remain calm but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered shaking
hands.
I looked up again at the audience realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad who
would say “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.
What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?
As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯)was waiting for me. I
grasped my hands tightly together drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys which were
waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly
I opened the music. Next I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the
memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could
play it backwards if requested.
Although at one point, I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my
fingers automatically (自动地).My eyes burned holes into the pages in front of me. There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration.
To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.
When I came to the end of the page a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN
YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺) I
finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the
impossible.
4. How did the author feel before the performance?
A. Over the moon. B. On pins and needles.
C. As cool as a cucumber. D. Hot under the collar.
5. We learn from the passage that ________.
A. The author had never performed in public before.
B. The author didn’t make a single mistake while playing.
C. The author’s parents were present at the performance.
D. The author hadn’t made full preparation before the performance.
6. What did the author want to express by saying “My eyes burned holes into the pages in front of me.”?
A. He tried to fix his eyes on the pages. B. He wanted to tear the pages into pieces.
C. He lost interest in the pages. D. He was dissatisfied with his performance.
7. What did the author feel about his/her performance?
A. He/She thought he/she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly.
B. He/She thought it was comfortable and successful.
C. He/She thought he/she was too nervous to have a good performance.
D. He/She thought it was very difficult but successful.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者第一次上台表演的经历。
【4 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的 I tried as hard as I could to remain calm but my heart was racing. I stared down at my
sweat-covered shaking hands. 我尽我所能保持冷静，但我的心在狂跳。我低头看着自己汗流浃背的颤抖的双
手。第四段的 What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes? 如果我听错了音乐怎么办?如果我弹错了音符怎么办? 由此判断出作者在表演前非常紧张。A 选项为“兴高采烈”，B 选项为“如坐针毡”，C
选项为“镇定自若”，D 选项为“怒气冲冲”。故选 B。
【5 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段 My first performance in front of the audience was coming up soon. 我在观众面前的第
一次表演很快就要开始了。可知，这是作者第一次在观众面前进行表演，以前从未在公共场合表演过。故
选 A。
【6 题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文语境可知，作者非常紧张，结合下文的 There was no way that I was going to lose my
concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music. 我不可能失去注意力。
为了不让别人知道，我身体前倾，小心地专注于音乐。可知，作者想要完全集中注意力在所弹奏的音乐上，
所以紧盯着面前的乐谱。因此，划线部分 My eyes burned holes into the pages in front of me. （我的眼睛在我面
前的书页上烧出了洞。）是指作者全神贯注于乐谱。故选 A。
【7 题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，这次表演对作者来说是个巨大的挑战，作者克服了困难，取得了胜利。尤其
是根据最后一段的 After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I
had mastered the impossible. 当最后的音符消失后，我的脑海里开始有了庆祝的想法。我已经完成了。我已
经掌握了不可能的事。可推测出，作者对于自己的表演既感觉困难又是成功的。故选 D。

Researchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but it's not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the
evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from
Spain to Iran.
The continent is called Greater Adria. It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be
buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are you've been there without even knowing
it. “Forget Atlantis,” said Douwe, study author and professor at Utrecht University. “Without realizing it, vast
numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria.” This area is called Adria by
geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.
Most of Greater Adria was underwater covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉淀物). The
sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas： the Alps, the Apennines, the
Balkans, Greece and Turkey. The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240
million years ago.
This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of
,a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The
leftover piece, which was covered in lava (岩 浆), is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in
September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South
Pacific. It’s two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.
Greater Adria isn’t the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years shows anything, it likely
won’t be the last discovery.
12. How did the researchers find Greater Adria?
A. They found it accidentally.
B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis.
C. They discovered it after years of seaching.
D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges.
13. What do we know about Greater Adria?
A. It is hidden under the sea level.
B. It is much smaller than Greenland.
C. It has existed for about 240 million years.
D. It has been known to many tourists before.
14. Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To describe how the researchers explored continents.
B. To show some other lost continents have been found.
C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria.
D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Atlantis Discovered Finally
B. Undersea World Explored
C. A Hidden Mountain Undiscovered
D. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是“一个被发现的丢失的大陆”。
【12 题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中 They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex
geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran.“他们是在重建地中海地区复杂
地质结构的过程中发现这一现象的。从西班牙到伊朗，地中海地区的地质结构随山脉的起伏而变化，随海
洋的起伏而变化。”可知，研究者是偶然发现 Greater Adria 的。故选 A。
【13 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句 The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent
about 240 million years ago.“研究人员发现，大亚得里亚海在大约 2.4 亿年前开始形成自己的大陆。”可知，
Greater Adria 已经存在了大约 2.4 亿年。故选 C。
【14 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句 This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found.“这不是第一次发现丢失
的大陆。”由此推知，在第 4 段提到这些发现是为了显示其他丢失的大陆已经被发现。故选 B。
【15 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段 Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years
shows anything, it likely won't be the last discovery.“Greater Adria 并不是第一个被发现的丢失的大陆。但如果
过去几年的研究有任何发现的话，这可能不会是最后的发现。”文章讲述的是“一个被发现的丢失的大
陆”。故选D。
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含
意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的
答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。
推理判断题的题干中通常含 infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate 等标志性词语。本题第 3 小题，根据第四
段第一句 This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found.“这不是第一次发现丢失的大陆。”由此推知，
在第 4 段提到这些发现是为了显示其他丢失的大陆已经被发现。故选 B。
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most of us don’t think twice about refilling our plastic water bottles. After all, there’s absolutely nothing
harmful about a simple bottle of water, right?
Wrong! ____16____ Why? Plastic water bottles have Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used to manufacture
plastics. This harmful chemical can go into the water and quickly grow dangerous bacteria in the bottle’s cracks, and
the health consequences are pretty serious.
We spoke to Kent Atherton, CEO of PuriBloc technology, about the risks of reusing plastics. “Even BPA free
products are not safe because manufacturers are now using other estrogenic (雌激素类的) chemicals. ____17____,” said Atherton.
These estrogenic chemicals can have a negative effect on human being’s hormonal balances. ____18____. In a
study of 259 plastic water bottles at the State University of New York, scientists found that 93% of the surveyed
bottles had some form of microplastic contamination (污染). Additionally, single-use plastic bottles are mostly made
of polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, which is safe to use, but not reuse.
____19____. “The thing about water bottles is that they come into contact with our mouth and hands—which
are home to a lot of bacteria,” says Professor Stephanie Liberatore in the academic journal The Science Teacher.
“Their openings are small, which makes them difficult to clean. This, combined with their wet environment, can
make water bottles a bacterial breeding ground.”
To drink water without harm, smart drinkers should avoid re-using disposable (一次性的) bottles. ____20____
Not only will doing so benefit your health, but you can help the environment, too.
A. There’s also the factor of bacteria to consider.
B. They may also cause the same danger to human health.
C. Instead, they should recycle them after drinking up once.
D. Plastic water bottle could actually do harm to your body.
E. Many people believe buying plastic water bottles is healthy.
F. These plastics can make chemicals go into your water if heated.
G. However, the potential dangers of plastic water bottles don’t stop there.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. G 19. A 20. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。大多数人会毫不犹豫的把我们使用的一次性塑料瓶再次使用，实际上是错误的。文章介
绍了为什么不能重复使用一次性塑料瓶。
【16 题详解】
根据下文的 Why? 及后面的解释：这种有害的化学物质会进入水中，并在瓶子的裂缝中迅速滋生危险的细
菌，对健康的影响非常严重。可知，选项 D“塑料水瓶实际上会对你的身体造成伤害”与下文内容最符。
故选 D。
【17 题详解】
根据上文语境可知，BPA 会进入水中，而且制造商现在正在使用其他的雌激素。根据下一段的 These
estrogenic chemicals can have a negative effect on human being’s hormonal balances. 这些雌激素化学物质会对人
类的荷尔蒙平衡产生负面影响。可知，选项 B“它们也可能对人类健康造成同样的危害。”最合语境。故
选 B。【18 题详解】
根据上文 These estrogenic chemicals can have a negative effect on human being’s hormonal balances. 这些雌激素
化学物质会对人类的荷尔蒙平衡产生负面影响。及下文的 In a study of 259 plastic water bottles at the State
University of New York, scientists found that 93% of the surveyed bottles had some form of microplastic
contamination (污染). 纽约州立大学(State University of New York)对 259 个塑料水瓶进行了一项研究，科学
家们发现，其中 93%的水瓶受到了某种形式的微塑料污染。可知，选项 G“然而，塑料水瓶的潜在危险还
不止于此。”与下文衔接最好。故选 G。
【19 题详解】
根据上文语境可知，上文提到塑料含有的化学物质对人体有害，是塑料瓶本身的问题，结合本段的内容：
关于水瓶的问题是，它们会接触到我们的嘴巴和手——这是很多细菌的家，它们的开口很小，很难清洗。
这一点，再加上它们潮湿的环境，可以使水瓶成为细菌的滋生地。由此可知，本段主要是瓶子含有细菌也
是其中的因素。故 A 项“还要考虑细菌的因素。”最合语境。故选 A。
【20 题详解】
根据上文 To drink water without harm, smart drinkers should avoid re-using disposable (一次性的) bottles. 为了喝
水而不受伤害，聪明的饮用者应该避免重复使用一次性饮料瓶。可知，选项 C“相反，他们应该在喝完一
次后回收它们。”与上文内容最相符。故选 C。

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们如何庆祝中国的传统节日——春节。
【41 题详解】
考查定语从句。此处指春节的日期是由农历决定的，___1___ date is determined by the lunar calendar and falls
somewhere between January 21 and February 20 each year 是一个定语从句，先行词是 The ancient tradition，关
系词在从句中作定语，所以填 whose。
【42 题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：这个古老的传统是中国所有节日中最长、最重要的节日，它的日期由农历决定，
每年的 1 月 21 日至 2 月 20 日之间。与 and 后的 most important 并列，文中表示“最长的”，用最高级，
所以填 longest。
【43 题详解】
考查副词。该空修饰动词短语 begin with，用副词，所以填 officially。
【44 题详解】
考查动词不定式。文中表示“为了扫走厄运”，作目的状语，用动词不定式，所以填to sweep。
【45 题详解】
考查时态和语态。描述主语现在的状态，用一般现在时，“红色”和“认为”之间是被动关系，用被动语
态，所以填 is believed。
【46 题详解】考查名词单复数。句意：由于红色被认为可以辟邪，所以从衣服到装饰房屋的灯笼，红色无处不在。文中“灯
笼”是复数意义，用名词复数，所以填 lanterns。
【47 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。“团圆饭”和“认为”之间是被动关系，用过去分词作状语，所以填 considered。
【48 题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一整只鸡象征着家庭团聚。泛指“一整只鸡”，whole 的首字母发音是辅音，用不定冠词
a，所以填 A。
【49 题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：孩子们会收到长辈们的红包，里面装满了钱和鼓舞人心的信息，他们经常被允许熬
夜看令人吃惊的烟花表演。fill with 装满，该短语是固定短语，所以填 with。
【50 题详解】
考查形容词。句意：孩子们会收到长辈们的红包，里面装满了钱和鼓舞人心的信息，他们经常被允许熬夜
看令人吃惊的烟花表演。该空修饰名词 fireworks shows，用形容词，v+ed 修饰人，v+ing 修饰物，所以填
amazing。

第一节 短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）
51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误，
每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。

Our school witnessed quite a few changes in the past few years. There used to have a playground on one side of
the main road. And now what you can see is a new office building, where our teachers prepare for their lessons. On
the other side stand another building--- our library. Most of the students like to study in the library, main because the
atmosphere in them is suitable for learning. Another reason is because we can get plenty of useful informations from
various learning materials. Much to my pleased, our school has become more beautiful than ever before.
【答案】1.在 school 后加 has
2.have→be
3.And→But4.将 for 去掉
5.stand→stands
6.main→mainly
7.them→it
8.because→that
9.informations→information
10.pleased→pleasure
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者学校这几年的变化。
【详解】1. 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语 in the past few years 可知，主句时态应该用现在完成时。故在
school 后加 has
2. 考查 there be 句型。句意：过去在主干道 一边有一个操场。 There used to be 是固定搭配，“过去常常”
的意思。故将 have 改为 be。
3. 考查连词。句意：但是，现在你能看到的是一座新的办公楼，我们的老师在那里备课。根据句意可知，
前后之间是转折关系。故将 And 改为 But。
4. 考查及物动词。prepare lessons 备课。prepare for..为…做准备。故将 for 去掉。
5. 考查主谓一致。介词短语位于句首，构成全部倒装，句子为一般现在时，主语应为 another building，所以
应填第三人称单数。故将 stand 该 stands。
6. 考查副词。分析句式可知，此处应用副词修饰句子。故将 main 改为 mainly。
7. 考查代词。根据上文 Most of the students like to study in the library 可知，此处是指前文提到的 library 图书
馆，用单数 it。故将 them 改为 it。
8. 考查名词性从句。is 后面为表语从句，且主语为 reason，从句不缺任何成分，the reason is that…。从句故
将 because 改为 that。
9. 考查名词。information 不可数名词，无复数形式。故将 informations 改为 information。
10. 考查名词。 one’s 人称代词后面跟名词。pleased 为形容词，用其名词形式。故将 pleased 改为
pleasure。
【点睛】时态是常考考点，除了要求考生掌握各个时态的基本用法之外，考生需具有在具体语境中辨别能
力。时态的判定往往根据句中所给的直接或间接的时间状语来判定，但要注意的是不能完全依赖于所给出
的时间状语，还要看语境。本题第 1 小题有个很明显的时间状语 in the past few years，因此，主句时态应该
用现在完成时。

【答案】Recently, COVID-19 has transmitted all over China even the world. In order to fight against the virus, the
students in China have to study at home on computers instead of going to school.
As for online teaching, it has two sides. On the one hand, it not only can save time so that we can do more other
things like taking up new hobbies, but also can be convenient for our daily life and study. On the other hand, online
teaching will increase the time length of facing the computer, which will be harmful to our health. Moreover, it’s
short of learning atmosphere to study online. Last but not the least, some students may cheat in class. While having
class, they are playing computer games at the same time!
As for me, I prefer to study in classroom because I really miss my teachers and classmates. And it really makes
me feel uncomfortable when I sit in the same way studying on computers without moving. Sometimes the network
signal is so weak that it drives me crazy! That’s why I’m not a fan of online teaching.

.My first performance in front of the audience was coming up soon.
I tried as hard as I could to remain calm but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered shaking
hands.
I looked up again at the audience realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad who
would say “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.
What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?
As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯)was waiting for me. I
grasped my hands tightly together drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys which were
waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly
I opened the music. Next I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the
memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could
play it backwards if requested.
Although at one point, I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my
fingers automatically (自动地).
My eyes burned holes into the pages in front of me. There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration.
To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.
When I came to the end of the page a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN
YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺) I
finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the
impossible.
4. How did the author feel before the performance?
A. Over the moon. B. On pins and needles.
C. As cool as a cucumber. D. Hot under the collar.
5. We learn from the passage that ________.

Two years ago， Kiirsat Ceylan was in New York to give a talk about disability rights at the U． N． Blind
since birth， the Turkish man was struggling to find his hotel， holding a cane in one hand and pulling his luggage
with the other．
"Not surprisingly， suddenly I bumped into a pole, and he says, "It was a bit bloody．"
The problem with a cane is that， while it can tell you what's on the grounds it doesn't help with objects at the
body or head level． It wasn't the first time Ceylan had run into something， injuring himself．
"" I have no problem with my scars， which make me more handsome I guess，" Ceylan says，
laughing． "But I don't need hew ones．"
With WeWalk， a new smart cane， Ceylan hopes to help other blind people navigate their environments more
easily.The cane uses an ultrasonic（超声波）sensor which detects objects at body or head level and gives a warning
vibration． WeWalk users pair the cane with their smartphones and then use the cane's touchpad to access features
like voice assistant or navigation*Before leaving home， they can plug their destination into Google Maps and get
spoken directions as they walk In the future， Ceylan hopes to connect WeWalk with public transportation and
ridesharing services．
Assistive technology is often expensive for blind people， says Eelke Folmer， a computer science professor
at the University of Nevada! Reno． "But developers fail to realize their devices are out of reach for many blind
people， To Folmer， the price point-﹩ 500-- sets the WeWalk cane apart from other technologies．
Ceylan sees WeWalk as part of an attempt to help blind people achieve greater freedom of movement， which
he believes will give them greater access to education and jobs． The canes are already having an impact on users，
Ceylan says． He recently received an email from a teacher in Ireland who had become blind as an adult． He'd been
.depressed and housebound． But since getting a WeWalk cane， your device forced me to go out． It became my
anti- depressant． " he wrote．

Researchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but it's not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the
evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from
Spain to Iran.
The continent is called Greater Adria. It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be
buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are you've been there without even knowing
it. “Forget Atlantis,” said Douwe, study author and professor at Utrecht University. “Without realizing it, vast
numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria.” This area is called Adria by
geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.
Most of Greater Adria was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉淀物). The
sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas： the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans, Greece and Turkey. The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240
million years ago.
This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of
a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The
leftover piece, which was covered in lava (岩 浆), is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in
September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South
Pacific. It’s two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.
Greater Adria isn’t the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years shows anything, it likely
won’t be the last discovery.
12. How did the researchers find Greater Adria?
A. They found it accidentally.
B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis.
C. They discovered it after years of seaching.
D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges.
13. What do we know about Greater Adria?
A. It is hidden under the sea level.
B. It is much smaller than Greenland.
C. It has existed for about 240 million years.
D. It has been known to many tourists before.
14. Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To describe how the researchers explored continents.
B. To show some other lost continents have been found.
C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria.
D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Atlantis Discovered Finally
B. Undersea World Explored
C. A Hidden Mountain Undiscovered
D. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Most of us don’t think twice about refilling our plastic water bottles. After all, there’s absolutely nothing
harmful about a simple bottle of water, right?
Wrong! ____16____ Why? Plastic water bottles have Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used to manufacture
plastics. This harmful chemical can go into the water and quickly grow dangerous bacteria in the bottle’s cracks, and
the health consequences are pretty serious.
We spoke to Kent Atherton, CEO of PuriBloc technology, about the risks of reusing plastics. “Even BPA free
products are not safe because manufacturers are now using other estrogenic (雌激素类的) chemicals. ____17____,”
said Atherton.
These estrogenic chemicals can have a negative effect on human being’s hormonal balances. ____18____. In a
study of 259 plastic water bottles at the State University of New York, scientists found that 93% of the surveyed
bottles had some form of microplastic contamination (污染). Additionally, single-use plastic bottles are mostly made
of polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, which is safe to use, but not reuse.
____19____. “The thing about water bottles is that they come into contact with our mouth and hands—which
are home to a lot of bacteria,” says Professor Stephanie Liberatore in the academic journal The Science Teacher.
“Their openings are small, which makes them difficult to clean. This, combined with their wet environment, can
make water bottles a bacterial breeding ground.”
To drink water without harm, smart drinkers should avoid re-using disposable (一次性的) bottles. ____20____
Not only will doing so benefit your health, but you can help the environment, too.
A. There’s also the factor of bacteria to consider.
B. They may also cause the same danger to human health.
C. Instead, they should recycle them after drinking up once.
D. Plastic water bottle could actually do harm to your body.
E. Many people believe buying plastic water bottles is healthy.
F. These plastics can make chemicals go into your water if heated.
G. However, the potential dangers of plastic water bottles don’t stop there.
