Garbage Recycle
In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage 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. 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 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 racy 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
推理判断题。对于[A]项,文中“until somebody figures out how to give it a second life,and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value...”可以看出除非有人发现了赋予废弃品第二次生命的方法,或者存在给予废弃品再次生命价值的经济处理,否则废品还是废品,因此可以排除[A]。从文中的“In many areas,the East Coastespecially,recycling is already the least expensive waste management option."可以看出,回收已经成为了最便宜的垃圾处理方法,而不是[B]选项提到的期望。而对于[D]项,从最后一段的可以看出随着填埋空间的减少,以及填埋和焚烧垃圾成本的上升,迫使当地政府更紧密地关注回收利用事宜,因此可以排除[D]选项,综上所述,选[C]。
