问题     Maybe everyone has such an experience that you have to unwrap several layers of packaging when you enjoy a piece of candy. But this overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.
    The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up scarce energy and resources and messing up the environment.
    Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies, washed out, and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.
    The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to do away with plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many manufacturers who say there is no alternative to their handy plastic packs.
    It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and reuse of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers as opposed to producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, intended to be used just once, and make things look better so more people will buy them, is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of doing away with packaging as using it sensibly. What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.
The author thinks that______.
选项 A、packing is actually useless and could be ignored
B、people will soon stop using packaging altogether
C、enough research has been done into recycling
D、it is better to produce new materials than to reuse old ones
答案A
解析 主旨题。纵观全文可知，只有少数包装是有用的，绝大多数包装只是为了吸引消费者，而这一想法其实是荒谬的，消费者对包装并不感兴趣；专家认为解决污染问题的唯一途径是商店不再使用塑料包装物。由此可总结得出：包装无多大用处，我们可以忽略它，故答案为A。
