In spite of the strong opposition to new and strict environmental laws, however, it is still possible to attack the problem of chemical pollution; but we must attack it from three directions. First, we need more independent research into the effects of chemicals by scientists who are not paid by the government or by large industrial companies. Second, scientists need to educate the general public and inform them about the dangers of chemicals in the environment. If the public knows that a certain chemical threatens the health of their children, then it will put pressure on politicians local and national governments. If the politicians want to remain in office, they will take action to correct the situation. Third, economists need to educate governments about the long-term economic costs of chemicals. It will be extremely expensive to clean areas of land which are contaminated(污染)by chemicals; it will be even more costly to give medical treatment to people who are suffering from serious illnesses after exposure to dangerous chemicals. If governments realize this, the short-term economic benefits of chemicals will seem much less attractive to them.
If we can put pressure on governments in these three ways, perhaps they will begin to behave more responsibly. They will perhaps pass new laws against pollution and enforce them strictly. Perhaps, then, the chemical producers will begin to behave more responsibly.
Which of the following is true of the governments mentioned in the passage?
选项
A、They are already behaving in an extremely responsible way.
B、They do not believe that it is possible to solve the chemical pollution.
C、They think chemicals do little harm to the health of humans.
D、They are unwilling to stop the use of certain chemicals.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。从第一段最后一句话“If governments realize this,the short-term economic benefits of chemicals will seem much less attractive to them.”可推理出目前化学制品的经济利益依然对政府很有吸引力,因此政府不乐意停止使用化学制品。故D正确。
