If you know where to find a good plastic-free shampoo, can you tell Jeanne Haegele? Last September, the 28-year-old Chicago resident【C1】______to cut plastics out of her life. The marketing coordinator was concerned about【C2】______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【C3】______was doing to the environment. So she【C4】______on her bike and rode to the nearest grocery store to see what she could find that didn’t【C5】______plastic. "I went in and【C6】______bought anything," Haegele says. She did【C7】______some canned food and a carton (纸盒) of milk —【C8】______to discover later that both containers were【C9】______with plastic resin (树脂). "Plastic," she says, "just seemed like it was in everything."
She’s right. Back in the 1960s, plastic was well【C10】______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【C11】______in landfills (垃圾填埋场). Our food and water come【C12】______in plastic. It’s used in our phones and our computers, the cars we drive and the planes we ride in. But the【C13】______adaptable substance has its dark side. Environmentalists feel worried about the petroleum needed to make it. Parents worry about the possibility of【C14】______chemicals making their way from【C15】______plastic into children’s bloodstreams. Which means Haegele isn’t the only person trying to cut plastic out of her life — she isn’t【C16】______the only one blogging about this kind of【C17】______. But those who’ve tried know it’s【C18】______from easy to go plastic-free. "These things seem to be so common【C19】______it is practically impossible to avoid coming into【C20】______with them," says Frederick vom Saal, a biologist at the University of Missouri.
【C17】
选项
A、diligence
B、recreation
C、accomplishment
D、endeavor
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。空前的this表明,这里指的是前面提到过的事情。结合上文可知,this kind of 78 指的是“尽力在生活中摈弃塑料制品”这种行为,这应该是一种尝试,故答案为[]endeavor“努力,尝试”,与 前面的trying to照应。[A]diligence“勤勉,勤奋”;[B]recreation“娱乐活动,消遣”;[C]accomplishment“成就”。
