他制作录音的灵感来源及决心。故选D项。

8.答案：C

解析：推理判断题。根据第一段一组领先的环境专家警告说，目前对塑料的战争正在

候变化和生物多样性丧失可知，专家认为对当前塑料战争的过度关注转移了人们的注

意力，使人们忽视了给环境造成更大威胁的事物，例如气候变化和生物多样性丧失。

由此推知，专家们对当前塑料战争持批判的态度。故选C项。

9.答案：A

18.答案：B

解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：怀孕三个月意味着我有一个选择：要么和他一起在

文莱待三个月，然后返回印度，要么独自留在印度。A.dream梦想；B.choice选择；C.

illness疾病；D.ambition志向、野心。根据下文可知，作者需要做出一个选择。故选

密些。故选Ao

22.答案：D

解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：文莱没有什么吸引我的地方。A.ignore忽视；B.

educate教育；C.treat对待;D.attract吸引。根据上文“NotbecauseIlovedthecountry”

以及下文“TheresearchfromtheInternetshowedmenothingbutonebeautifulmosque（清真
