Before the grass has thickened on the roadsides and leaves have started growing on the trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast food packets. Years ago I remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and discarded bottles. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?
The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth(下层灌木) for years.
It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1 , 000 years to rot. However, it is not as it there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered: the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.
What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue
sliding downhill
until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by rubbish, they behave like rubbish. Now, much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?
What might be the best title for the passage?
选项
A、Plastic Bags.
B、Environment Protection.
C、Dirty Britain.
D、Rubbish Disposal.
答案
C
解析
主旨题。文章第一段主要陈述英国目前到处是垃圾,第二段说明此种情况的原因,第三段以塑料袋为例说明人们仍然我行我素,第四段呼应第一段说明英国目前大部分地区脏乱差的状况,并对5年后的英国感到担忧。选项A(塑料袋)只是举个例子。选项B(环境保护)在文中并未提及。选项C(脏乱的英国)与首尾段内容呼应。选项D(垃圾处理)文中未提及。故答案为C。
