(地區(qū)議會網(wǎng)絡(luò)(DCN)代表了187個地區(qū)當局，覆蓋了2200萬人的垃圾收集。它說：“除了對寵物和野生動物有潛在危險外，它們還可能傳播感染”)”可推知，DCN對PPE垃圾持擔憂態(tài)度。故選A?！?題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Councils are already struggling with waste collection during the pandemic as residents are creating more rubbish while spending longer periods at home. The DCN said some weeks this summer had been like “Christmas collections”, referring to the larger amounts of rubbish over the festive period.(在大流行病期間，由于居民在家中待的時間越來越長，產(chǎn)生的垃圾越來越多，市政當局已經(jīng)在努力處理垃圾收集問題。DCN表示，今年夏天的一些星期就像“圣誕節(jié)收集”，指的是節(jié)日期間大量的垃圾)”可推知，第4段提到“圣誕收集”是為了批評這一現(xiàn)象。故選D?！?0題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Scientists, however, have warned that even if masks are dealt with properly, 124,000 tons of singleuse facemasks could end up in landfill if people do not switch to reusable coverings.(然而，科學家警告稱，即使口罩得到妥善處理，如果人們不改用可重復使用的口罩，)”故我們能從科學家的警告中推斷出使用可重復使用的設(shè)備更好。故選B。11題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Britain39。s streets are being increasingly crowded with throwaway facemasks and protective gloves, a survey has found, as councils warn that they are battling with a mountain of personal protective equipment (PPE) litter.(一項調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，英國街道上的一次性口罩和防護手套越來越多，各地方政府警告稱，他們正在應對堆積如山的個人防護裝備(PPE)垃圾)”結(jié)合文章還說明了地方政府警告稱這些東西會造成感染風險，說明了相關(guān)組織和人員對此的看法。對此，科學家認為使用可重復使用的設(shè)備更好。可知，文章的主要內(nèi)容是處理PPE垃圾的問題。故選C。DA strong coffee after a poor night39。s sleep is the kickstart many people need in the morning but new research suggests that it might be best to have a bite to eat first.A study has found that drinking coffee first can have a negative effect on blood sugar control a risk factor for diabetes （糖尿?。゛nd heart disease.“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee subjectively the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee,“ said Professor James Betts, at the University of Bath in the UK.For their study, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.In one, the participants had a normal night39。s sleep, roughly from 11 . to 7 ., and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning. They then experienced an interrupted night39。s sleep, where the researchers woke them every hour for five minutes by sending them text messages to which they had to respond — and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.On another night, participants experienced the same sleep interruption, but this time were first given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.They found that one night of interrupted sleep did not worsen the participants39。 blood sugar and insulin （胰 島素）responses when pared to the normal night39。s sleep although previous research suggested that losing many hours of sleep or many nights of poor sleep could have a negative effect. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50% — suggesting that relying on coffee after a bad night to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body39。s ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast.12.

A【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章講述了一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，先喝咖啡會對血糖控制產(chǎn)生負面影響，而血糖控制是糖尿病和心臟病的風險因素之一?！?2題詳解】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞上文“A strong coffee after a poor night39。s sleep”（一夜沒睡好之后，喝一杯濃咖啡）可推知，kickstart指的是在晚上沒有睡好之后“一種提神的力量”。故選B。【13題詳解】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段“In one, …and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning. They then experienced an interrupted night39。s sleep… — and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.”（在一項實驗中，參與者在晚上大約11點到早上7點之間正常睡眠，并被要求在早上醒來時喝一杯含糖飲料。然后，他們的睡眠被打斷，研究人員每隔一小時就給他們發(fā)短信，讓他們每隔5分鐘回復短信，醒來后給他們喝同樣的含糖飲料。）和第六段“On another night,… before consuming the sugary drink.”（另一個晚上，參與者經(jīng)歷了同樣的睡眠中斷，但這一次，在喝含糖飲料之前，他們先喝了一杯濃黑咖啡30分鐘。）可知，在三個試驗中沒有改變的是受試者都喝了含糖飲料。故選C?！?4題詳解】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50%”（然而，早餐前喝一杯濃黑咖啡實際上會使血糖反應增加50%左右）可知，早餐前，一杯濃黑咖啡增加了受試者的血糖反應。故選D?！?5題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“For their study, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.”（在他們的研究中，巴斯大學的研究人員讓29名健康的男性和女性參加了三種不同的夜間實驗，每次實驗至少持續(xù)一周。）和文章最后一段“They found that one night of interrupted sleep did not worsen the participants39。 blood sugar and insulin responses when pared to the normal night39。s sleep”（他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，與正常晚上的睡眠相比，一個晚上的睡眠中斷并沒有惡化參與者的血糖和胰島素反應）可推知，研究者是通過對比試驗結(jié)果得出結(jié)論的。故選A。第二節(jié)（共5小題；，）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩 項為多余選項。Rachael Ray is known as a famous chef, magazine publisher, and creator of her own pet food.
