Answer 1

分析 本文属于健康环保类阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了瓶装水对我们的危害，瓶装水并不像我们认为的那样健康．

解答 36．B  细节理解题，根据前文A large number of people have a preference for bottled water，because they feel that tap water may not be safe．可知许多人都爱喝瓶装水，因为他们觉得自来水可能不安全，下文应该提出对瓶装水的疑问，故选B．
37．C  细节理解题，根据后文The chemicals can be taken in the body and cause physical discomfort．可知塑料中的化学物质可能会引起身体不适，由此可知本段讲述了瓶装水也可能导致健康问题，故选C．
38．E  推理判断题，根据后文Bacteria（细菌） can increase in large numbers if the water is kept on the shelves for too long or if it is exposed（暴露） to heat or direct sunlight可知如果瓶装水上架时间过长或高温或阳光直接照射可能会导致细菌大量滋生，由此可知前文讲述了不合格的瓶装水储存可能导致健康风险，故选E．
39．G  细节理解题，根据前文The information on storage and shipment is not always readily available to consumers．可知消费者不了解瓶装水的运输和储存，因此相比自来水瓶装水可能不是一个好的选择，故选G．
40．F  细节理解题，根据后文According to one research，90% of the bottles used are not recycled and lie for ages in landfills（填埋场）．可知根据研究90% 的瓶子是不可回收的，因此瓶装水可能产生大量的固体废物，故选F．

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
