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?
Which of the following best describes the author’ s outlook on the environment?
选项
A、Optimistic.
B、Confused.
C、Concerned.
D、Indifferent.
答案
C
解析
态度题。第一段最后一句作者提出到底是哪里出了问题,说明作者关心英国的环境问题。根据最后一段最后两句可知,现在,英国很多地方看起来很脏,五年之后会是什么样呢?可见作者对英国未来的环境既有关心,也有担心。从全文来看,作者非常关心环境问题,但并不乐观。选项A(乐观的)、选项B(困惑的)和选项D(漠不关心的)都与文章内容不符。故答案为C。
