Question

【题目】阅读短文，并按要求完成下面小题。

That bottle of water you paid $ 1 to $ 3 for may contain (包含) tiny pieces of plastic, according to a new report. A recent study tested 259 water bottles from 11 brands sold across nine countries, including the United States, and found that 93% of those tested contained microplastics (微塑料) pollution.

Sherri Mason, a researcher of the State University of New York said that 65% of the plastic pieces were “chips” of plastic, and contained the plastic which was used to make some bottle cups.

“I think it is coming through the process of bottling the water,” Mason said. “I think that most of the plastic that we are seeing is coming from the bottle itself, it is coming from the cup, it is coming from the industrial process of bottling the water.”

Researchers remind that it’s unclear what influence microplastics can have on the human body. And, microplastics have been found in everything, ranging from fish and shelllish (贝类) sold in the supermarket to tap water.

The International Bottled Water Association President and CEO Joe Doss said in a research, “The study isn’t based on science, and the study’s findings do nothing more than unnecessarily scare customers. Customers can remain confident that bottled water products, like all food and drinks, are strictly regulated (管理) by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration are safe for users. The bottled water industry is always trying to provide customers with the safest and highest quality products.”

The World Health Organization told BBC that it is doing a survey on the hidden risks of drinking bottled water.

短文大意：本文通过科研人员对塑料瓶装水的研究，提醒人们瓶装水可能有潜在的饮用风险。

【1】句意：最近的一项研究发现，93%的测试水瓶都含有微塑料污染物。
考查句意理解。根据第一段“A recent study tested 259 water bottles from 11 brands sold across nine countries, including the United States, and found that 93% of those tested contained microplastics pollution最近的一项研究检测了来自9个国家(包括美国)销售的11个品牌的259个水瓶，发现其中93%含有微塑料污染”，可知填microplastics pollution。

【2】题意：乔觉得这项研究的结果如何？
考查细节判断。根据乔的话“The study isn’t based on science, and the study’s findings do nothing more than unnecessarily scare customers这项研究没有科学依据，研究结果只不过是在不必要地吓唬消费者”，可知他认为这些发现是不必要的，研究结果只不过是在不必要地吓唬顾客，故填He thinks the findings are unnecessary./He thinks the study’s findings do nothing more than unnecessarily scare customers.

【5】researchers研究人员；remind提醒，后接that引导的宾语从句；it’s unclear它是不清楚的；what influence microplastics can have on the human body微塑料会对人体产生什么影响。根据句意结构，可知填：研究人员提醒说，目前还不清楚微塑料会对人体产生什么影响。
