瓶裝水不見(jiàn)得對(duì)健康更好；呼吁人們不要使用瓶裝水，這樣對(duì)地球和健康都有利。

【1】句意：然而，越來(lái)越多的人已經(jīng)反對(duì)瓶裝水的使用，環(huán)境保護(hù)主義者正呼吁人們回歸自來(lái)水。

考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. allowing（允許）；B. training（訓(xùn)練）；C. calling on（呼吁）；D. commanding（命令）；根據(jù)上文“more and more people have been against bottled water use 越來(lái)越多的人已經(jīng)反對(duì)瓶裝水的使用” 推斷空格指“環(huán)境保護(hù)主義者正呼吁人們回歸水龍頭”，call on意為“呼吁”，故選C。

【2】句意：而且，絕大部分的塑料水瓶沒(méi)有回收。

考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. sold（出售）；B. recycled（回收）；C. found（找到）；D. limited（限制）；根據(jù)下文“In almost every part of the world, unwanted water bottles take up landfills(垃圾填埋地) and send dangerous gases into air and water when they are burned.” 可知在世界的幾乎每個(gè)地方，沒(méi)用的水瓶占據(jù)垃圾填埋地，當(dāng)它們被焚燒時(shí)散發(fā)危險(xiǎn)的氣體，由此推斷空格是指“沒(méi)有回收”，故選B。

【3】句意：僅僅在美國(guó)，每星期卡車要運(yùn)載10億的瓶裝水，（卡車）散發(fā)著污染的氣體、磨損公路。

【4】句意：在很多國(guó)家自來(lái)水的要求比瓶裝水要嚴(yán)格得多。

考查形容詞辨析。A. older（比較老）； B. fewer（比較少）；C. stricter（比較嚴(yán)格）；D. simpler（比較簡(jiǎn)單）；根據(jù)下文“Furthermore, tap water contains fluoride, which is added to help build strong teeth and prevent tooth decay (齲齒).” 此外，自來(lái)水含有氟化物，它被加進(jìn)去幫助強(qiáng)固牙齒防止齲齒；由此推斷空格處的句意是指“自來(lái)水的要求比瓶裝水要嚴(yán)格得多”，故選C。
