I find it annoying and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings (装饰性包装) in this country.
When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with.
There is hardly anything we buy that doesn’t come in at least two wrappings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-big-bags in.
A lot of things we buy wouldn’t really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we aren’t satisfied with what nature has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. The orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the paper bag, must wonder where it is.
A box of biscuits often has waxed paper (蜡纸) next to the biscuits, a cardboard box holding the food and then a decorative wrapping around it.
A relative of ours bought a new sofa recently because she liked the fine leather(皮革) it was covered with. She liked it so much that she didn’t want it to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put over it.
We may never again see the leather she’s protecting.
According to the author, the use of protective wrappings ______.
选项
A、can be wasteful and unnecessary
B、makes everything look funny
C、gives people more work to do
D、is a practice against natural life
答案
A
解析
分析推理题。短文第一句即用annoying and funny(讨厌而可笑的)两个词表明了作者对保护性或装饰性包装的反对态度,而通读全文后,我们发现作者更是反对用这种包装,原因就是这种包装既浪费(wasteful)又无必要(unnecessary,对应于第四段第一句中的wouldn’t really need一处),因此本题答案是[A]。其余三项根据文意和常识都不难排除。
