In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buffed in landfills (垃圾填理场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second hand plastic.
Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled (回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.
As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life--and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.
Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.
It can be concluded from the passage that______.
选项
A、rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials
B、local governments in the U. S. can expect big profits from recycling
C、recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally
D、landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal
答案
C
解析
本题属文章的主旨性问题。读完文章后,我们知道这篇文章谈的就是有关recycling的问题,这就足够了。让我们对比四个选项,看哪一个是最好的答案。当然是C选项recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally,我们看到其余三项的侧重点都不在 recycling上面,因此其余的几个选项没有C选项好,我们选C。
