问题    When travelling overseas, do you buy water in plastic bottles or take your chances with tap water? Imagine you are wandering about on a Thai island or【C1】______the ruins of Angkor. It’s hot so you grab a bottle of water from a local vendor. It’s the safe thing to do, right? The bottle is【C2】______, and the label says "pure water". But maybe what’s inside is not so【C3】______Would you still be drinking it if you knew that more than 90 percent of all bottled water sold around the world【C4】______microplastics?
   That’s the conclusion of a recently【C5】______study, which analysed 259 bottles from 11 brands sold in nine countries,【C6】______an average of 325 plastic particles per litre of water. These microplastics included a【C7】______commonly known as PET and widely used in the manufacture of clothing and food and【C8】______containers. The study was conducted at the State University of New York on behalf of Orb Media, a journalism organisation. About a million bottles are bought every minute, not only by thirsty tourists but also by many of the 2.1 billion worldwide who live with unsafe drinking water.
   Confronted with this【C9】______, several bottled-water manufacturers including Nestle and Coca-Cola undertook their own studies using the same methodology. These studies showed that their water did contain microplastics, but far less than the Orb study suggested. Regardless, the World Health Organisation has launched a review into the【C10】______health risks of drinking water from plastic bottles.
   A) adequate F) instant K) released
   B) admiring G) liquid L) revealing
   C) contains H) modified M) sealed
   D) defending I) natural N) solves
   E) evidence J) potential O) substance
【C1】
选项
答案B
解析 [语法判断]空格前面有or，说明空格所在部分______the ruins of Angkor与wandering about in a Thai island构成并列结构。并列结构前后成分要一致，因此本空应填入动词的-ing形式。[语义判断]本句是在设想出国旅游的情形。空格前面提到，想象你正在泰国的一个小岛上漫步，空格后面应该表示你在“欣赏”或者“游览”吴哥窟废墟。因此，本题答案为B)admiring。
