The wandering ship was a dramatic symbol for a problem plaguing our age. In 1987, the ship, loaded with thousands of tons of New York garbage, spent weeks wandering from one port to another in search of a dump before finally returning home, mission unaccomplished.
New York, like other communities throughout the world is running out of space to put its trash. As throwaway societies, the US and other industrialized countries expect their garbage to be picked up by trucks that magically transported the refuse to some out-of-sight incinerator(焚化炉) or dump. But in the developing counties of Asia, Africa and Latin America, thousands of tons of trash collected daily are thrown into open dumps, where it feeds huge populations of rats that swarm through poor neighborhoods.
"The world is literally swimming in garbage," says a scientist, "Communities worldwide are being forced to confront the problem." Green Peace spokesman Bryan Bence adds, "The crisis in garbage stems in part from the fact that we’ve ignored long-term disposal problem in favor of cheap quick fixes."
The garbage glut (过选剩) has inspired many communities in the U.S., Japan and Western Europe to start recycling programs. Once considered a curious counter culture activity recycling has moved firmly into the mainstream.
Recycling involves separating usable products from trash, processing them so they can be substituted for more expensive raw materials and returning them to the marketplace as parts of new products. Many countries now have mandatory recycling programs, and others plan to follow the trend soon. Most notably, Japan has stood out as a model and leader of the waste management trend, recycling an estimated 65 percent of its waste. "That’s what we should do, to the garbage crisis", says David Antonioli, a staff member with the New York Public Interest Research Corp. "The earth is not a dump!"
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项
A、The world has to face the fact that it is running out of space to put its trash.
B、Having no space to dump the garbage forces some countries to begin recycling programs.
C、Recycling was once unfavorably considered as a counter culture activity.
D、We have to admit that recycling of the garbage will never move into the mainstream.
答案
D
解析
A与第二段第一句话“无论是纽约,还是世界上其他地方,都无法找到足够的空间来存放垃圾”相符:B项与第四段第一句话“垃圾过剩促使日本、美国和西欧的一些国家开始了废物回收利用工程”内容相符。C项为正确项,参看第四段第二句话“在过去,废物的回收利用为一些文化所不接受,但现在这种做法已成为主流。”D项否认了垃圾回收利用为主流做法,因此选D项。
