In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场) . The problem was riot limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.
Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled (回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there ire dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.
As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life--and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.
Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per tom Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.
It can be concluded from the passage that______.
选项
A、recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally
B、local governments in the U.S. can expect big profits from recycling
C、rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials
D、landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。整篇文章重点讨论的是循环利用垃圾的好处和重要性。而且在文章的结尾,作者又说到“Recycling.also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries(循环利用还通过创造就业机会,控制环境污染以及降低企业的能源成本促进了当地经济的发展) ”。因此,我们得出的结论应该是,循环利用在经济和环保方面都是非常值得的。所以A) 正确。
