Disposing of garbage has been a problem since humans started producing it. More and more people choose to live close together in cities, and the waste disposal issue becomes increasingly complex.
During the eighteenth century, it was customary for several neighboring towns to get together to designate a remote spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers (运输) would transport household garbage, rotted or scrap wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells that resulted were endured because nobody lived nearby.
Factories, mills, and other industrial facilities also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built enormous burners with smokestacks(烟窗) to deal with the problem.
Several factors made these solutions unacceptable to modern society. The first issue is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in densely populated areas. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been common practice, but once rural areas are refusing to accept garbage from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major metropolitan areas is almost nonexistent.
Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict regulation of waste disposal. Contamination (污染) of rivers, groundwater, land, air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of garbage. However, the amount of garbage continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their residents to participate. Even the most vigorous and efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to handle only about 50 percent of a city’s reusable waste. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、people in the future will live far from the dumpsite
B、the garbage will become less and less
C、the recycling program is the only solution to waste disposal
D、strict regulation of waste disposal will be needed
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。根据文章第五段前两句可知,对污染危险性的认识导致对垃圾处理的严格规定。为清除垃圾对河流、地下水、土地和空气造成的污染所付出的代价,人们再也负担不起了。由此可推知,人们需要严格规定垃圾处理问题。
