选项 _________(65)
A:suggestion       
B:statement
C:reply       
D:answer
答案D
解析make their way into表示“潜入”的意思。塑料购物袋进入水道。所以选择C。
通过常识可以判断，塑料袋肯定对野生动物是有害的，所以选择A。
element：元素；mixture:混合物；matter：事情，问题；material：物质，材料。通过比较发现，D选项最符合题意。
此处and起到承接的作用。
ban sb.from doing sth.：禁止某人做某事。选择A。
made of：由什么制作而成。
根据空格后句中的too可以推知，空格中的单词在文中出现过，而相对于plastic bags ,paper bags能够与之对应。
resources：资源。很显然，使用纸也是一种资源浪费，因为they consume more resources to transport（它们需要耗费更多能源去运输）。其他选项都与该句意思无关。
通过后一句the best outcome would be for customers to reuse bags instead（解决问题最好的方式是顾客重复利用塑料袋子），可以推知他们是反对禁塑的。所以选择far from accept（远未接受）。
debate：讨论，辫论。文章指出，人们讨论是使用塑料袋还是纸袋，这是一场辫论，所以选择D。
通过理解后一句的意思，可以推知人们认为一次性塑料袋是浪费，所以选 wasteful（浪费的，挥霍的）。
alternative：选择。less-expensive是经过比较才能产生的，所以选择A。
此处要表达的意思是给那些自带可重复使用的袋子的顾客以优惠，所以选择B。
effective：有效。此处的意思是如果商店……这种政策将会更加有效。
suggestion：建议；statement了观点；reply：回复，回信；answer：答案，答复。 answer更侧重于问题的答案、问题的解决之道，所以D选项最合适。
