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 buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). 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 wastemanagement option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving 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.

Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because______.
选项
A、local governments find it easy to manage
B、other methods are more expensive
C、recycling causes little pollution
D、recycling is a great appeal for the jobless
答案
B
解析
本题属于事实辨认题。根据题干中的关键词“first choice for the disposal of rubbish”,可以将其定位到第四段政府密切关注回收利用垃圾的原因。根据第四段中多次出现的“rising costs”以及“the least expensive”,以及“paying…amount to saving of more than $100”等等,可知都与费用相关,因此应选B“其他方法要花更多的钱”。废弃物回收利用是管理部门认为的一种最经济的选择,因为填埋和焚烧垃圾的费用正在不断上涨。
