Over the years, college students have stood together for what they believe in, from civil rights to anti-war policies to the more recent protests against the unequal distribution of wealth. But nowhere in history have students banned(禁止) bottled water. Until now.
The bottled water ban, which started on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have either completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.
Many people believe that producing and using bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U. S. are among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access (获取) to filling stations are a better choice.
An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $ 1,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.
The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations.
The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. They argue that plastic bottles make up a small portion of the nation’s total waste. It’s unfair to single out (单独挑出) their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers. Plus, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that are also sold at school.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、All the universities have banned the sale of bottled water.
B、Plastic bottles may do harm to people’s health.
C、The purchase of soft drinks will increase.
D、Bottled water is cheap and environment-friendly.
答案
B
解析
第二段第一句话“The bottled water ban, which started on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities.”;第四段最后一句话“Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.”;第五段最后一句话“Plus, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that are also sold at school.”;第三段第一句话“Many people believe that producing and using bottled water wastes money and harms the environment.”。细节题。题干问的是“根据短文,下列哪项是正确的?”根据定位句“起初,禁止瓶装水的运动只在少数几所大学进行,但很快就蔓延开来,如今延伸到全国20多所大学。”(A项错);“塑料瓶含有一种名为‘锑’的化学元素——小剂量的锑会引起抑郁,大剂量的会致命。”(B项对);“另外,相较于同样在校园里出售的苏打水和果汁饮料,水依然是最健康的选择。”(C项错);“很多大学生认为生产和使用瓶装水会造成资金浪费,并且污染环境。”(D项错)可知,答案中只有B项是符合文中原意的,故选B。
