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 not 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 are 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 wastemanagement option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving of more than $ 100 per ton. 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. (287 words)
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
本题属于主旨大意题。本题针对文章的主旨进行提问。一般来说,文章的主题都出现在开头或末尾。文章前两段只讲到纽约州的个案,后两段才说回收利用的意义。因此可以定位在三、四段,尤其是第四段,从节约土地、节约成本等方面谈到回收利用的意义,其中“landfill space”是从环境角度上讲,“rising costs for burying and burning rubbish”从经济角度上来讲。因此应选A“无论是从经济角度上来说还是从环境角度上说,都应该实行回收利用”。全文介绍了废弃物回收利用的好处,它不仅能减少环境污染,节约垃圾填埋场地,又能被生产成新产品、推动经济发展,不言而喻,回收废弃物值得推广。
