A civilization’s level of advancement can be judged to an astonishing degree of accuracy by examining what it does with its sewage. Prehistoric people either behaved much like animals by individually burying their excretions, or they placed their waste in foul-smelling communal pit toilets. Later on, rivers were used as receptacles for bodily refuse to wash the offal out to sea. By the Roman times, plumbing had been invented to bring the river to inland settlements—though wastewater still flowed back out into the same rivers that might elsewhere be used for drinking. It is only in the modern age, at the pinnacle of human culture as achieved by western civilization, that we have developed systems for washing soiled water in treatment plants, where it can be chemically treated until it is safe to release back into the hydrosphere. [br] Based on the attitudes displayed in the passage, with which of the following statements would the author most likely disagree?
选项
A、An unsanitary habit may nonetheless be preferable to behaving like the other animals in the environment.
B、The world would be a cleaner place if people worldwide had better access to facilities to treat sewage water.
C、Improving sanitation has been a common goal of developing societies, as people seek to live in a cleaner environment.
D、Burying excrement was remarkably environmentally sound, as it enabled human waste to return to the earth without soiling water.
E、Designing an effective plumbing system both signified and mandated a certain level of complexity in the social structure.
答案
A
解析
The best answer is A. This question asks the reader to identify the statement with which the author would likely disagree. Since the author does not indicate that he believes the pit toilets are preferable to buried waste, and in fact, suggests that he finds them equally distasteful, choice A is best.
