问题     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 box of milk—【C8】______discover later that both containers were【C9】______with plastic materials. "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 waste dump. 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.
【C6】

选项 A、slightly
B、nearly
C、roughly
D、barely

答案D

解析 语义逻辑题。此处为直接引语,空格位于动词短语bought anything之前,这里的anything指代上文提及的“不含塑料的商品”。根据该段末句Haegele所说的“塑料似乎存在于一切东西里面”可推断她没有买到无塑商品,填入空格的副词应表示否定含义,故选D项barely“几乎不”,表示“几乎买不到不含塑料的商品”。本题也可从语法角度得出答案,空格后的anything常用于疑问句或否定句以及含有否定含义的陈述句,该句子为肯定句,故只能填入表示否定含义的barely。
