【回答】

36. D 37. F 38. E 39. A 40. C

【解析】

【分析】

我們在一些海洋動物中發現了塑料，而且最近科學家在人類糞便中也發現了塑料。為此科學家對一些志願者做了實驗，*確實人體中含有塑料，並說明了塑料是如何進入海洋動物和人體的。

36.D

【解析】根據後文The volunteers wrote down what they ate for a week….既然這裡提到志願者，所以是科學家們對一些志願者們進行了研究，結合選項這和D選項“科學家們跟蹤了來自世界各地的八名健康志願者”內容是一致的，故選D。

37.F

【解析】因為前文提到了科學家對8名志願者進行了研究，所以這裡要對研究結果進行說明，所以F “根據這項研究，科學家在糞便樣本中發現了九種不同的塑料”，是研究結果，故選F。

38.E

【解析】根據後文They’re not sure how the plastic got in the volunteers' bodies, either. 他們也不確定塑料是如何進入志願者體內的。這裡提到了“也不確定”，所以前文是“不確定….”, 故這和E中“不確定塑料是否對人類有害”是對應的，故選E。

39.A

【解析】

根據前文Every year, lots of plastic waste goes into the ocean. 每年都有大量的塑料廢料流入海洋。所以這裡要說明塑料進入海洋之後發生了什麼，故這和A選項“在那裡，陽光和海浪把塑料垃圾分解成很小的碎片。”是對應的，故選A。

40.C

【解析】根據後文even some drinking water has been found to have tiny plastic particles in it. 提到甚至在一些飲用水中也發現了塑料顆粒，所以這裡在說“在….中存在塑料顆粒”，故這和C選項中的“90% of sea salt which is sold in the world includes plastic.”是對應的，故選C。
