A解析 标题归纳题。本文主要叙述了三方面的内容：塑料购物袋产生“白色垃圾”；塑料购物袋制造商想出了对策——用可重复使用的购物袋；环保专家希望塑料袋和纸袋都不用。故A项“塑料袋、纸袋或者两者都不用”可作为文章的最佳标题。一、题型解读记叙文、说明文和议论文三种文体涉及的不同话题的阅读材料都会考查到标题归纳题。设问形式常有：(1)Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleforthepassage?(2)Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthepassage/text?(3)Whatisthebesttitleforthispassage?(4)Themostsuitabletitleofthispassageis.一个好的标题应具备三大特点：概括——准确而又简短；针对性——标题外延正好与文章内容相符；醒目——能引发读者的阅读欲望。二、解题技巧1．“高度概括”定标题(1)所选文章标题须能概括全文的中心内容。标题是文章的点睛之笔，是文章的灵魂和门面。为吸引读者的注意，标题往往比较醒目。(2)一般文章的标题可根据主题句来判断，但在某些文章中，如记叙文，没有明确的主题句，需要根据文中的事实细节，查找文章的“主线”，归纳出文章的主题。2．文章标题三特点(1)一般为单词、短语或句子形式，短语居多；(2)短小精悍，精确性强；18\n(3)涵盖性强，能覆盖全文大意。例如：【真题感悟】中第27题，要求概括标题，本文讲述了使用塑料袋造成的环境问题；纸袋容易回收，但生产成本高；环保专家认为塑料袋和纸袋都不要用。对这三个方面进行了对比，Plastic，PaperorNeither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，适合作为标题。A(2022·河南六市第一次联考)Inthefallof1988，IvisitedmanyBuddhisttemples，butafterawhiletheyallbeganto9fadefrommymemories.However，therewasonetemplethatleftagreatimpressioninmyheart.ItiscalledtheTempleoftheGoldenBuddha.Afterwalkingarounditandtakingsomephotos，Iwalkedovertoaglasscase，nexttowhichwasatypewrittenpagedescribingthehistoryofthismagnificentpieceofart.Backin1957agroupofmonksfromamonastery(修道院)hadto5relocatea1clayBuddhafromtheirtempletoanewlocation.Themonasterywastoberelocatedtomakeroomforthedevelopmentofahighway.Whenthecrane(吊车)begantoliftit，theweightofitwassolargethatitbeganto2crack.What’smore，rainbegantofall.Theheadmonkdecidedtolowerthestatuebacktothegroundandcoveritwithalargeoilclothtoprotectitfromtherain.LaterthateveningtheheadmonkwenttocheckontheBuddha.Heshinedhisflash-lightundertheoilclothtoseeiftheBuddhawasstayingdry.Asthelightreachedthecrack，henoticedalittlebeamshiningbackandthoughtitstrange.Ashetookacloserlookatthisbeamoflight，hewonderediftheremightbesomethingunderneaththeclay.Hewenttofetchachiselandhammerfromthemonasteryandbegantochipawayattheclay.Asheknockedoffpiecesofclay，thelittlebeamgrewbrighterandbigger.Manyhoursoflaborwentbybeforethemonkstoodfacetofacewiththeextraordinarysolid-goldBuddha.Historiansbelievethatseveralhundredyearsbeforetheheadmonk’sdiscovery，thearmywasabouttoinvadethecountry.Themonks，realizingthattheircountrywouldsoonbeattacked，coveredtheirpreciousgoldenBuddhawithanoutercoveringofclayinordertokeeptheirtreasurefrombeingrobbedbytheenemy.Unfortunately，itappearsthattheenemykilledallthemonks，andthewell-keptsecretofthegoldenBuddharemaineduncovereduntilthedayin1957.18\nAsIflewhomeIbegantothinktomyself，“WeareallliketheclayBuddhacoveredwithashellofhardnesscreatedoutoffear，andyetunderneatheachofusisa‘goldenBuddha’，a‘goldenChrist’，ora‘goldenspirit’，whichisourrealself.Somewherealongtheway，betweentheagesoftwoandnine，webegintocoverupour‘goldenspirit’，ournaturalself.Muchlikethemonkwiththehammerandthechisel，ourtasknowistodiscoverourtruespiritonceagain.”语篇解读

转换词汇题。根据第二段中的“Itcanalsosimplyhelptofilltheincreasedenergydemandofagrowingpopulation，andcanevenbemadeintoroad-readyfuelbysmarttechnology.”可知，废弃塑料可以被用来作road-readyfuel，即废弃塑料是这种燃料的一个“来源”，故填source。20．答案
