细菌喷洒剂，能够除去各种异味。

t

答案：A词义猜测题。根据画线词前的findboxestocovertheir

nos可知用盒子把鼻子盖住是为了挡住难闻的气味。keepout意为“阻止……进

入”，符合语境。takeout意为“拿出”，giveout意为“分发;发出”，come

out意为“出版;被揭晓”，均不符合语境。

答案：C词义猜测题。全文的焦点是中国公厕的臭味难闻，现在中科院

正针对这个问题进行研究，显然这个全国性的紧急问题就是厕所的臭味。故选C

项。

答案：D细节理解题。依据文章最后一段Heboastedthatthe

Chineformula,whichcostsonlyaround￡5perliter,hasnoside

effectsandcanbeudtoremoveanybadsmell.可知，这个除味喷剂的优

点有：价格低、没有副作用、可去除臭味。文中没有提到D项(设计美观)。故选D

项。

答案：C推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，三分之一的游客投诉是关

于公厕的臭味问题，下文讲到中科院已经研制出一种除味喷剂，可以去除厕所的异

味。由此可以推断，这种喷剂在中国的公厕中喷洒后，游客的投诉应该会减少。
