[语篇解读] 本文是说明文。讲述了一种处理吃完的贝类留下贝壳的方法,把贝壳重新扔回水道,不仅有经济效益,而且对环境有益。
1.E 上文“When we eat some popular kinds of shellfish, we leave behind large amounts of shells.However, these shells are no longer thrown into waste containers.(当我们吃一些受欢迎的贝类时,我们会留下大量的贝壳。然而,这些贝壳不再被扔进废物箱。)”说明贝壳不再被扔进垃圾桶,下文“In the U.S., shells cast aside in restaurants and other businesses are being collected, cleaned and thrown back into waterways.(在美国,扔在餐馆和其他商业场所的贝壳正在被收集、清理,然后扔回水路。)”说明丢弃的贝壳被扔回水里,因此推断E项“现在有几个项目旨在将它们重新投入水路。”符合语境,承上启下。
2.C 上文“In the U.S., shells cast aside in restaurants and other businesses are being collected, cleaned and thrown back into waterways.(在美国,扔在餐馆和其他商业场所的贝壳正在被收集、清理,然后扔回水路。)”说明丢弃的贝壳被扔回水里,下文“The shells were put into the state's Mullica River and help form new or expanded oyster groups.Freefloating baby oysters connect to the shells and grow on them.(这些贝壳被放入该州的穆里卡河,帮助形成新的或扩大的牡蛎群。自由漂浮的小牡蛎与贝壳相连,并在它们上面生长。)”举例说明这些丢弃的贝壳扔回水道的用处,空格处也是讲述被扔回水道的贝壳的用处,因此推断C项“这些贝壳为海洋生物提供了一个新的居住地。”符合语境。
3.F 上文“The shells were put into the state's Mullica River and help form new or expanded oyster groups.Freefloating baby oysters connect to the shells and grow on them.(这些贝壳被放入该州的穆里卡河,帮助形成新的或扩大的牡蛎群。自由漂浮的小牡蛎与贝壳相连,并在它们上面生长。)”举例说明这些丢弃的贝壳扔回水道的用处,下文“It has also helped eateries save money on dealing with their shells, according to Scott Stueber, a fisheries biologist with the Department of Environmental Protection.(环境保护部的渔业生物学家斯科特·斯图伯(Scott Stueber)说,这也帮助餐馆节省了处理贝壳的钱。)”说明了这样处理贝壳的好处,因此推断空格处也是讲述这个项目,F项中的“The project”呼应语境,因此推断F项“该项目保留了约6万公斤的贝壳不被填埋。”符合语境。
4.G 上文“It has also helped eateries save money on dealing with their shells, according to Scott Stueber, a fisheries biologist with the Department of Environmental Protection.(环境保护部的渔业生物学家斯科特·斯图伯(Scott Stueber)说,这也帮助餐馆节省了处理贝壳的钱。)”说明了这样处理贝壳的好处,可以给餐馆省钱,带来经济效益,下文“In nature, oysters are cleaners.(在自然界,牡蛎是清洁工。)”说明牡蛎可以清洁环境,因此推断G项“尽管有经济效益,主要目标还是改善环境。”符合语境,承上启下。说明这样做不仅有经济效益对环境也有好处。
