下面是英语四级阅读单选题讲解:因果条件题。
Passage 5
In 1993 ,New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminium 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 would be buried in land fills . 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, throwaway 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佱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.
6. The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is ?
A. to sell them at a profitable price
B. how to turn them into useful things
C. how to reduce their recycling costs
D. to lower the prices for used materials
讲解答案:
B 其根据是第一段最后一句:The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately,there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.第二段讲,现在全美五分之一的塑料瓶已回收利用,这种变化是因为有十几家公司收购塑料瓶,用它制成栅栏的立柱、油漆刷子等。所以B项是正确答案。
