Exporters are going to have to change if they hope to penetrate the large European markets. The European Union (EU) has launched a two sided attack on packaging waste. It wants both to decrease sharply the amount of packaging waste that is generated and to increase the level of recycling necessary packaging. To accomplish these objectives, two key targets have been established. First, by 1998, 60 percent of package waste by weight has to be recoverable for recycling or other uses and by 2003, the percentage to reach 90. The second target requires that more than 10 percent by weight of the waste remains to be disposed of (e. g. , in landfills). The individual EU countries are free to determine on their own by what methods they want to achieve these targets and how they will finance these necessary waste recovery infrastructures. Most countries will place the largest part of burden on those manufacturing, using, or selling packaging. Marketers have been encouraged to adopt the four environmentally correct — redesign, reduce, reuse, and recycle. Germany, which has been the front runner in issue, requires producers, importers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers to take packaging from their customers to use or recycling independently of the public waste disposal system. These criteria will directly affect the US and other exporters seeking markets in Europe. If packaging of exports does not meet the EU requirements, products may be denied entry. Exporters to the EU will seek out distributors with experience in dealing with waste management requirements. While the system is a burden, it offers some benefits. Cutting down on packaging can save on materials and shipping costs.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What is the viewpoint of the speaker at the beginning?
34. According to the speaker, how will exporters to the EU be affected?
35. Why does the speaker believe the system may also be beneficial to exporters?
选项
A、It will allow fewer trees to be cut.
B、It will require less labor costs.
C、It saves some shipping costs.
D、It will make them more competitive.
答案
C
解析
由选项中的It,saves…costs,make them more competitive等可知,本题考查It所起的作用。短文结尾处的it offers some benefits…can save on materials and shipping costs表明,削减包装的重量会减少材料和运输费用,故答案为[C]。
