【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，内容围绕我们日常生活中使用的袋子展开，主要叙述了纸质袋子、塑料袋子和布袋子的优点和不足。

【1】句意：你更喜欢哪种袋子？

考查动词。A项，期望；B项，更喜欢；C项，猜测。根据Paper or plastic?纸质的还是塑料的？可知，此处是在两者中间做出选择，即选出更喜欢哪一种。故选B。

【2】句意：但是，我们总是被告知纸袋比较好，因为纸袋很容易被分解。

考查形容词比较级。根据because they can be broken down easily因为它们能够更容易被分解，可知，此处描述的是纸袋子的优势，也就是纸袋子更好。故选A项。

【3】句意：然而，制作纸袋比制作塑料袋需要更多的资源。

考查形容词。根据however可知，此处表示转折，再结合上一句because they can be broken down easily“它们能够更容易被分解”描述纸袋子的优势，所以此处应该描述纸袋子的不足，应为making paper bags needs more resources than making plastic ones制作纸袋子要比制作塑料袋子消耗的资源多。故选C。

【4】句意：研究表明，纸袋生产需要的能量是塑料袋生产的4倍。

考查名词辨析。four times as much …as表示“是……的四倍”，根据前一句making paper bags needs more resources than making plastic ones制作纸袋子要比制作塑料袋子消耗的资源多，可知，资源消耗多，也就意味着制作过程要消耗更多的能量，energy在此处符合题意。故选B。

【5】句意：人们需要一千四百万棵树来生产一千万个纸袋。

考查动词辨析。A项，发明；B项，降低；C项，生产。树木是生产纸袋子的原材料，所以此处用produce符合题意。故选C。

【6】句意：然而，这个想法很快就会被抛弃。研究表明这不是真的。

考查名词辨析。根据Some people believe that paper bags are more environmentally friendly than plastic ones. 有些人认为纸袋比塑料袋更环保。可知这是一些人的观点，认为纸袋子更好，不过研究表明，制作纸袋子需要更多的资源和能量，所以这种观点不可取。故选A。

【7】句意：结果，塑料袋的使用数量迅速下降。

考查名词辨析。根据people have to pay twenty cents for every plastic bag人们不得不为每个塑料袋支付二十美分，可知收费使用塑料袋子会使塑料袋子的使用数量下降，the number of the plastic bags熟料袋子的数量在此处符合题意。故选C。

【8】句意：然而，我们并不是经常这样做，因为它们（塑料袋子）很容易破损。

考查副词辨析。A项，几乎不；B项，容易地；C项，缓慢地。句中broken是形容词，前面用副词修饰，表示程度。此处是解释我们不经常重复使用塑料袋子的原因，因为塑料袋子太容易破损。故选B。

【9】句意：布袋子是一种更好的选择。

考查名词辨析。A项，情形；B项，同意；C项，选择。因为纸袋子、塑料袋子都有各自的不足之处，所以此处又提出了布袋子，即：布袋子是更好的选择。故选C。

【10】句意：但他们（布袋子）的生产对环境仍有不良影响。

考查名词辨析。A项，影响；B项，结果；C项，印象。根据前一句cloth bags are a better choice布袋子是更好的选择，以及本句中but可知，此处表示转折，所以此处表示生产布袋子对环境有不好的影响。故选A。
