The Fridge
1 The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: "store in the refrigerator. "
2 In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.
3 The invention of the fridge Contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast variety of well-tried techniques already existed—natural cooling, drying, smoking, slating, sugaring, bottling...
4 What refrigeration did promote was marketing—marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.
5 Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expanse, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house—while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.
6 The fridge’s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself. Invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers but at least you’ll get ride of that terrible hum.
A. The invention of the fridge
B. The pollution caused by fridges
C. The widespread need for fridge
D. The days without the fridge
E. The waste of energy caused by fridges
F. The fridge’s contribution to commerce
Paragraph 6 ______.
选项
答案
B
解析
段首句是观点句,该句说“冰箱对环境的影响一直是很显著的(借助常识和背景知识,我们能意识到这里所说“对环境的影响”是指“对环境的污染”),而冰箱给人类所带来的幸福却是微不足道的”,这个句子很明确地反映了作者的观点,对比剩下的被选项,判断B.冰箱所带来的污染是最佳的选项。
