Blank (i)       Blank (ii)     Blank (iii)
A. corroborated D. friendly    G. benefits
B. exploited    E. hazardous   H. costs
C. dispelled    F. predictable I. opportunities

选项

答案C,D,H

解析 先看空格(ii),语义是即纸杯由天然产品(natural products)制造而成,所以比塑料(聚乙烯)制成的杯子在环境上更加________。既然是由天然产品制成,所以对环境应该更无害,空格(ii)表达“无害”的含义,D项friendly(友好的)符合。再看空格(iii),句子说,生产和回收纸杯的环境________与生产、处理和回收聚乙烯杯子相比,就算不是更多,也是相似的。注意前面讨论的话题是纸杯是否环境友好,因此讨论的是对于环境的影响,空格(iii)应该填入表示对于环境的影响的词,选H项costs(代价)。最后看空格(i)。后面说生产纸杯的环境代价与塑料杯实际上是相似的,显然是对前面的假设的反驳,因此空格(i)表达“反驳,否认”的含义,C项dispelled(消除)符合。
