问题     The holidays are the most wasteful time of the year. The amount of waste produced increases by more than 25% from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. Waste from shopping bags alone amounts to four million tons in the U. S. and 28 billion pounds of food is wasted annually. That’s about 100 pounds per person. Now for the good news. You can simplify the holidays, do something about the amount of waste. Most issues surrounding food safety and food waste involve leftovers(剩饭). Plan ahead for the number of people you will be feeding, including a day or two of leftovers, but don’t try to keep food too long. Preparing the right amount of food will keep everyone feeling well and eliminate the need to throw away extra food this time of year.
    Plan thoughtfully when giving gifts. Waste-free gifts of time and talent are appreciated. Tickets to concerts, the zoo, movies or sporting events make fun gifts and don’t come with any waste.
    Wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it isn’t the metal variety. Better yet, reduce waste by wrapping gifts in shopping bags or other reusable items, to save the wrapping part of the package. [br] According to the last paragraph, you are advised______.
选项 A、not to use shopping bags for gifts
B、to use reusable items to wrap gifts
C、not to use anything made of plastics
D、to use packaging boxes made of wood
答案 B
解析 细节辨认题。由题干中的the last paragraph定位到文章最后一段。该段提出包装纸可以再利用，或者使用购物袋或其他可重复使用的材料包装礼品以节省包裹的包装部分。B)中的use reusable items和原文中的in shopping bags or other reusable items表述一致，由此可以确定B)“使用可重复使用的材料包装礼品”为本题的答案。
