【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，內(nèi)容圍繞我們?nèi)粘Ｉ�活中使用的袋子展開，主要敘述了紙質(zhì)袋子、塑料袋子和布袋子的優(yōu)點和不足。

【1】句意：你更喜歡哪種袋子？

考查動詞。A項，期望；B項，更喜歡；C項，猜測。根據(jù)Paper or plastic?紙質(zhì)的還是塑料的？可知，此處是在兩者中間做出選擇，即選出更喜歡哪一種。故選B。

【2】句意：但是，我們總是被告知紙袋比較好，因為紙袋很容易被分解。

考查形容詞比較級。根據(jù)because they can be broken down easily因為它們能夠更容易被分解，可知，此處描述的是紙袋子的優(yōu)勢，也就是紙袋子更好。故選A項。

【3】句意：然而，制作紙袋比制作塑料袋需要更多的資源。

考查形容詞。根據(jù)however可知，此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折，再結(jié)合上一句because they can be broken down easily“它們能夠更容易被分解”描述紙袋子的優(yōu)勢，所以此處應(yīng)該描述紙袋子的不足，應(yīng)為making paper bags needs more resources than making plastic ones制作紙袋子要比制作塑料袋子消耗的資源多。故選C。

【4】句意：研究表明，紙袋生產(chǎn)需要的能量是塑料袋生產(chǎn)的4倍。

考查名詞辨析。four times as much …as表示“是……的四倍”，根據(jù)前一句making paper bags needs more resources than making plastic ones制作紙袋子要比制作塑料袋子消耗的資源多，可知，資源消耗多，也就意味著制作過程要消耗更多的能量，energy在此處符合題意。故選B。

【5】句意：人們需要一千四百萬棵樹來生產(chǎn)一千萬個紙袋。

考查動詞辨析。A項，發(fā)明；B項，降低；C項，生產(chǎn)。樹木是生產(chǎn)紙袋子的原材料，所以此處用produce符合題意。故選C。

【6】句意：然而，這個想法很快就會被拋棄。研究表明這不是真的。

考查名詞辨析。根據(jù)Some people believe that paper bags are more environmentally friendly than plastic ones. 有些人認(rèn)為紙袋比塑料袋更環(huán)保�？芍�這是一些人的觀點，認(rèn)為紙袋子更好，不過研究表明，制作紙袋子需要更多的資源和能量，所以這種觀點不可取。故選A。

【7】句意：結(jié)果，塑料袋的使用數(shù)量迅速下降。

考查名詞辨析。根據(jù)people have to pay twenty cents for every plastic bag人們不得不為每個塑料袋支付二十美分，可知收費使用塑料袋子會使塑料袋子的使用數(shù)量下降，the number of the plastic bags熟料袋子的數(shù)量在此處符合題意。故選C。

【8】句意：然而，我們并不是經(jīng)常這樣做，因為它們（塑料袋子）很容易破損。

考查副詞辨析。A項，幾乎不；B項，容易地；C項，緩慢地。句中broken是形容詞，前面用副詞修飾，表示程度。此處是解釋我們不經(jīng)常重復(fù)使用塑料袋子的原因，因為塑料袋子太容易破損。故選B。

【9】句意：布袋子是一種更好的選擇。

考查名詞辨析。A項，情形；B項，同意；C項，選擇。因為紙袋子、塑料袋子都有各自的不足之處，所以此處又提出了布袋子，即：布袋子是更好的選擇。故選C。

【10】句意：但他們（布袋子）的生產(chǎn)對環(huán)境仍有不良影響。

考查名詞辨析。A項，影響；B項，結(jié)果；C項，印象。根據(jù)前一句cloth bags are a better choice布袋子是更好的選擇，以及本句中but可知，此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折，所以此處表示生產(chǎn)布袋子對環(huán)境有不好的影響。故選A。
