In 2003, I was told by a restaurant owner on a Thai island that local fishermen used to wrap their lunch in banana leaves, which they would then casually toss overboard when done. That was OK, because the leaves decayed and the fish ate them all. But in the past decade, he said, plastic wrap had rapidly replaced banana leaves, so the beach was edged with a crust of plastic.
This is a worldwide problem—we can’ t point the finger at Thai fishermen. The UK alone produces more than 170m tons of waste every year, much of it food packaging. Now we live in an absurd age where a packet of cookies can have seven layers of wrapping. While it has revolutionised the way we store and consume food, there is now so much of it that landfills (垃圾填埋场) can not cope. Some of it is poisonous, and some of it never degrades. It can take 450 years for some types of plastic bottle to break down. Indeed, as Rachelle Strauss of the UK’ s Zero Waste Week says, we never actually throw anything "away"—it’ s really just put somewhere else.
It’ s easy to despair at the scale of handling the plastic wrap, but it isn’ t beyond humanity to solve it—look at how the world took action on CFCs (含氯氟烃): there are signs that the hole in the ozone layer is now closing. Food packaging ought to be a doddle.
Comment 1:
While as an individual I can do my best to avoid excessive packaging, it is really only government regulation that can force corporations to change their practices.
Comment 2:
I never understand why supermarket chains insist on covering products such as bananas and cucumbers in plastic wrap. Why? They have their own packaging—the skin or peel!
Comment 3:
I love packaging—if it’ s well designed of course. It helps us be more hygienic and practical. The solution to these packaging necessities is clearly to encourage the use of bio-degradable packaging.
Comment 4:
Before, everything we threw out was bio-degradable and now it’ s not. Guess it’ s hard to change that behavior overnight.
Which of the following comments point out ways to solve over-packaging?
选项
A、Comments 1 and 2.
B、Comments 1 and 3.
C、Comments 2 and 4.
D、Comments 3 and 4.
答案
B
解析
细节题。题目问的是“哪些评论提出了解决过度包装的方法?”。评论1提出政府应该用政策干涉;评论2只是说有外皮的物品不需要包装;评论3提出要使用可生物降解的材料做包装材料;评论4说解决过度包装的问题不容易。由此可知,评论1和3都提出了解决途径,故选B。
